Listen, old .303s in capable hands will do the job but you have to know how to shoot and most of all TO SHOOT! That Enfield has a quick action bolt that surprised many Japanese and Germans with their rate of fire. And there’s many Enfields, Springfields, Mosin-Nagants, etc., (not to mention U.S. Carbines, Garands) standing in U.S. home’s corners or closets

In 1914, British infantry -- almost all professionals at that point and at a high standard of training -- was capable of firing up to 30 aimed rounds per minute with .303 Enfields. The Germans thought they were facing machine guns.

I don’t agree that “they deserve each other” at all. Muslims are the aggressors and have responded to every attempt at conciliation with further aggression. They’ve been aggressive and vicious to India for centuries.
