Not at all. I simply offered a comment. What’s your problem?

"Russia has always possessed the best intelligence system In the world."

Not according to Ian Fleming..... .

(just having fun here don't get excited) .

My favorite was my old M1 Garand, it was 'only' 30.06 caliber but it packed a punch no one would ever forget .

I plinked a sparrow once with it , the bird simply vanished .

well sir... me myself I have NO problems ... why is your Join Date: Sep 2011 whilst you claim to have been posting longer?

They are anti material rifles, based on the rifles fielded by the Russians and Finns in the early part of the second world war.

Look up the PTRD41 and Lahti 39.

Early tanks were lightly armored and they were very effective against them. They were such a problem the Germans introduced space armor in the form of skirts to prevent their tanks from getting penetrated around the road wheels.

Accuracy International makes a very nice one which I believe holds the current record for longest sniper kill. It might be .338 Lapua magnum though not .50 BMG.


.50BMG is actually not the best anti personal round, obviously it will kill you but its too heavy, and the ballistics kind of suck compared to some more modern rounds. Like the .416, .338 etc.

The Russians lost 1 million combatants to Finland, 8 million combatants overall and 23 million total with civilians. How's that for strategy?

It helps with the overpopulation problem.

" It helps with the overpopulation problem. "

? Is it O.K. to make snarky China remarks at this point ? .

Maybe Nature is doing a bit of self correcting.......

That barrel looks short in that picture .


Many decades ago I bought a 1942 Lee Enfield rifle in (IIRC) .303 caliber .

$30, picked one out of many in a barrel in the sporting goods store in Oregon, it looks rough but shot great and didn't need any scope .

Whatever it hit, it destroyed .

those are notoriously sloppy

Yes they were, it was no M1 Garand but it shot a whole lot better than I expected .

Have you ever shot one ? or just repeating the usual ? .
