RE .303 Enfield: The Afghanis taught the Soviet mudcrunchers a painful lesson about what an Enfield SMILEY III (or No.4MKI) in the hands of a RIFLEMAN can do for eight years.
But I would think a small select-fire SMG, or AK Krinkov-type, or carbine would be better in an airport; CQB stuff comes into play when there’s armed looneys running around in those tight environs, and the shorter carbines/SMGs might be better suited than a full-size battle rifle.
Just my humble opinion...
I agree with your assessment. I just wanted the Indians to start working those old Enfield bolts and sending some rounds downrange, helping some folks out and supressing terorist’s firepower and putting them down, it could’ve been done.
I’m reminded of indigenous folks with single-shot shotguns taped at the pistolgrip to the receivers w/electrical tape in 3rd world countries fighting the oppressors in the Congo but alas, they were overpowered by communist supplied troops.

DARN! Spell check, okay self, that’s enough caffine!
