Not trolling. Just stating an obvious fact.

He's right tho. You're not even trying anymore.
It's 2 in the morning stop posting shitty bait. I'm sure a 5 round bolt action would fare really well in the jungles of Vietnam against gooks with AKs and 30 round mags

A good thread died for this shit bait.

One round's all it takes to kill a gook. Unless they outnumber us 5 to one, we won't even need to reload.
Larry Thorne was carrying a 1903 when he died. 1903 didn't save Thorne. M16 better.

I own an 03A3 and an A4gery, only thing I'd choose the 03A3 for is deer hunting.

There's not much difference between shooting one medium sized mammal and another.

The AR15 works flawlessy in the mud. Does the 1903 hold up to those high standards?
>>33573957
Yes.

Good thing the M16 is a machine gun.
