[ESFitness]

Oh, they can jam! I had one jam on me a few years back...I held the gun while my buddy double handed the lever...never found out what the hell it jammed up on...that rifle never did that again..his was a 45-70

ahh.. love that rifle. remember being 12yrs old on my grandpa's farm on weekends, walking through the woods from morning till night in the middle of winter with one of those. must've gone through 100 rounds a day putting holes through old car doors. shoulder and hand wouldn't stop hurting till Friday.. then go back out and do it again.

My Marlin 1895 in .45/70 is my go-to hunting gun. I spent a lot of time working up stupid loads for it, culminating in a hard-cast 550 gr. whopper @ 1700 FPS. In that tiny 7 pound gun, it could knock you over. Never did shoot anything with those loads because they were so insane. Did take a lot of wild pigs with 405 gr. jacketed.

RIP to the guy who invented the gun I wish the threadstarter would suck on

Blasphemy. Why do you dislike Arce?

[Teutonic Knight]

He did an excellent job copying the work of Nazi Germany.

Actually yes, AK47 is imitation of legendary Schmeisser !.
Just like Ural bike imitates BMW bike.

(Why U a still using "Nazi" terminology !)

That's not a Schmeisser (MP-40), that's a Sturmgewehr (StG-44)

If U have 1 for sale PM me

If U have 1 for sale PM me 

Which one? I don't have either, but I know a local guy that has both for sale. The StG shoots a rather hard to find cartridge 7.92x39 IIRC. The MP-40 shoots 9mm.

Both are available as 03FFL buys. For the same money, and a more functional FA, go with a M-16 RR or a MP-5

I was in Iraq when for some reason the SEALs were being constantly turned down for air support for target houses...after that they would go out and the first sign of a bullet our of any of those structures would set off a whole firing line of Carl gustav rockets from those SEALs..they did it to the point where their headshed was given an official directive to give them more air support cause they damaged too much of ramadi with the CG's lol

Awesome.  SEALS are in the limelight now because of the high profile ops in recent years, but there is no amount of praise or awe that would suffice to truly give those guys their due respect.  Just surviving BUDS/T is unbelievable, but what they do in real world ops is astonishing.  Imagine the 99.9% of what they do that we don't ever know about?  The tiny fraction that gets out is amazing, imagine what we dont hear about. 

Destroying too much ramadi?  They should level that whole toilet to the ground completely along with all the hayhab's living there.  Innocent bystanders......   just happened to find that AK or RPG on the ground, right?

That was either team 5 or 10...they replaced team 3 when their tour was over

I have a few friends that either are SEALs..a few formers, and a few retired ones...my dad was a Rolex seal

I am biased towards the SEALs by a long shot..but I've seen them earn it a lot of times..they aren't alone though..you got groups like the polish grom..and the original high speeds the British SAS..the Australians, hell, even DELTA (almost threw up saying that) who go out there everyday and get it done

Now that the marines joined socom I have a feeling you will be hearing a lot more about MARSOC and a lot less about green berets since the army has decided to make them teachers instead of warfighters these days
