re: #69 Bear

But most of the other nation’s rifles were 5 round magazines. Then there was the BAR with 20 round magazine, sub machine guns with magazines much larger than 5 round capacity. And oh yes the 30 cal us carbine with 15 round magazines.

re: #72 goddamnedfrank

They also had twenty round stick mags and fifty round drum mags for the Thompson, twenty round mags for the BAR, belt fed .30 & .50 cal heavy machine guns, flame throwers, bazookas, hand grenades, artillery support, naval bombardment, tanks and air cover, among other things.

While I think the picture with the gun mom is fucking retarded, you’re not exactly making a flushed out argument here.

FLESHED OUT argument, Frank. Flushed out argument would be a WHOLE ‘nother thing.

The point is most GIs weren’t carrying bullet hoses. They were carrying 8-round clips. And they were fighting a WAR against a lot of really well armed, trained folks. So, what is she defending AGAINST that she needs more bullets before reloading than our fathers and grandfathers needed to win WWII?
