You need to learn more about the battles in Iraq.
Let me know how it goes when ya shoot your bud's gun.
And it does have a bit of a kick!
300 yards with iron sights?? You must be good.
Actually, the RF was saying 250 - 270. Close.
Old fashion guns! Ha,this isnt gun smoke! Partner today we use modern guns, several ar15s, many ak47s , only old as u refer to is1 of several rem. 700’s and a whole lot more. So im only 1 man ,now add the other hundreds of thousands AMERICAN hunters on our soil. Im sorry but I must disagree, never under estimate us back woods country boys.....
Not hardly! We practice 1 shot 1 kill. Ever see something dead shoot back! LOL!!!!
An old topic, but one that I felt I should comment upon...
It’s not just that this army owns guns.
Many of them also own lots of other stuff useful in wartime.
Four-wheelers, for example. Trucks and other off-road vehicles. Boats, too.
Most have an intimate knowledge with the lay of their local land. They know all the backroads and trails, many of them not showing up on Google. They know how to get from place to place the quickest, where the choke points might be, etc. Plus, they’re equipped with GPS’s and other navigational devices.
Add in the fact that they’re well equipped to operate under extreme conditions, many times with camouflage clothing specifically suited to local conditions, which allows them to blend in undetected.
Sure, they own firearms, but it’s more than that. They have skills and equipment which are readily adapted for war.
I don’t think invasion will ever be a threat in our lifetime.
“If this were the 19th and early 20th century this would be a valid point. One hunter or a million with a 7mm against satellite guided missiles operated from thousands of miles away is not much of a defense.”
A million satellite guided missiles? :) You place too much faith in technology.
