    Oi Count Couto - lets see how a Mauser handles mud being a front locker and after you have expended your five rounds and are stippering another 5 in I still have 5 in the mag LMAO, all battle rifles have there good and bad points as does the 303's it is a matter of choice.
    As for the handle SSniper lets get one thing perfectly straight snipers are trained to eliminate high value targets sorta like a chooks head meets the axe, the Waffen SS were very highly trained and dedicated troops but such was their training they could be construed as Commando's, look up their leaders instructions what happened to our or the Britishicon Commandos if captured by them or any Werhmacht unit.

    Anyway I have already been held to task about getting political, my father in WWII went through New Guinea, Wewak, Mindanao and Moratai shaking hands with the Japaneseicon Imperial forces he did not talk about his experiences except to my brother in law who is a Vietnam vet that the Japanese bombed them once and it was not nice. Consider changing the handle bloke as for some the memories of war are like yesterday and unless you were there and in the midst of it you do not know the fear and noise and not knowing if you are going to die one moment to the next.
    I have 2500 + books on conflicts spanning mostly WW1-II and believe me there is nothing glorious in war like in the first day of the Somme WWI the British lost 60,000 men and for us Australians 2 battles stand out Fromelles and Pozieres so please consider the request from those that have endured the heat of battle and lets move on I mean Mauser Marty is not to bad a nick!

    Post script Note: Thank you for changing your nick but you may want to consider what I suggested I mean MM is as good as chocholate
