A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

That was really interesting. I especially liked the side by side with the AR showing how the Garand actually cycles faster. Anybody here ever bump fired a Garand? My friend has one with a somewhat worn barrel, and I bump fired it a few times. If you do it right, it fires about like an MG42!! If you don't do it well, it's like a BAR. Wouldn't do that if it had a nice barrel (even with this one, I only did one or two clips before letting the barrel cool a bit.)
