Why don't we go back to using swords & catapults instead of guns and missiles?
I must say, I would kill or die to bring back that world. Swords play and archery were very skill-oriented and gave soldiers more of a "Warrior" class, as opposed to the simple trigger-pulling people of today. The thing is, in war each country races to become a more efficient fighter than the other, and weaponry plays a key role in this. Once guns came around, everyone raced to have them, and continued building on them to gain more and more power. Around WWI this situation was pretty out of control, if you ask me, and by WWII the whole way of war had changed entirly. War would most certainly be better if we did go back to the old ways, but people just don't want to lose the edge of advanced weaponry. If anyone went back, other nations would have huge advantages, making the move pointless. The only way to ensure that kind of a change would be to make every one think like you and I, and a task like that is on a scale far to broad to execute.
Has anyone purchase an M1 Garand recently from CMP ? Need info.?
I'm planning on buying a M1 Garand (Special grade) from CMP. Not interested so much in historical or field grade, but rather the newest, best rebuilt M1 available. I happen to have two M1 .30 cal carbines from auto Ordnance, which are new and function great, Wish they made the M1 Garand too. What's the best ammo to use in the 30-06? Heard the military surplus and Wolfe brand are not always liked by the M1. Need help with both questions. Thanks in advance.
