Inherent Weakness ?

[Edward Horton]

I love it when Ed is in a good mood

Thanks Ed, that was a refreshing post

I’m always in a good mood until some anti-Enfield Commie Pinko Pervert puts me in a bad mood.

Some Americans watch too many John Wayne war movies and forget that we had three other beaches besides Omaha and Utah and that people other than Americans were fighting on Sword, Juno and Gold beach heads.

Or else they watch John Wayne in Flying Leathernecks and forget that Canada had the fourth largest Air Force in WWII.

Some people forget that the Americans serving in the Canadian military were forced to return home by our isolationist American Government or loose their American citizenship, and some of these Americans were labeled as subversive by our own FBI for their pro-war/anti-German sentiment.

And then these American knuckle heads want to come into an Enfield forum and talk about “inherent weak design”.

I have a great idea, lets talk about the American Sherman tank verses the German Panther and Tiger tanks and “inherent weak design”.

Or lets talk about how the British improved the Sherman tank (Firefly) by mounting the Quick Firing 17 pounder on the Sherman tank. The 17 pounder was the most powerful British tank gun of the war, and one of the most powerful of any nationality, being able to penetrate more armour than the Tigers 88 mm, the Panther tank's 75 mm , and the M26 Pershing's 90 mm gun.

Sherman Firefly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The British did improve the Enfield Rifle………….and they called it the No.4
