Good point, Woahhs. most combat nowadays is done by artillery, missiles, and tanks. What's left is pounded by heavy machine guns and mortars, as well as air. That's exactly why the infantryman's personal weapon has recieved so little work over the years...the concentration has been on him not having to use it.
