That Enfield is still one of the best battle weapons ever fielded provided it's in properly trained hands.

Can we get a double bingo for the fools who think any automatic weapon that is not bipod or tripod mounted is better than a proven weapon?

If you have ever been to a live fire range w/ fully automatic weapons, as say the M-16 or AK-47 (or 74 which is the same goddamn weapon, but in a 5.55mm round instead of a 7.62) and seen the tracers fly over the hill top like a Star Wars movie, you'd understand, fully auto hand held weapons are useless. Now the 3 round burst is pretty effective, but in the instance of what India just went through, give me an Enfield.

Full auto weapons are good tools as long as you know how to use them.
