    I'd have exchanged those plinkers for a Garandicon in a heartbeat.
    Real men measure once and cut.

    Carbine

    I'm reminded of the difference in "Last Stand of Fox Company" where the Carbines wouldn't stop the Chinese attackers, and the cry went up, "Carbine men aim for the head!" versus the quote by Hector Cafferata in the latest GCAicon Journal, "One shot from that 30-06 and they went right down."
