Nope because he's a pussy faggot and hasn't cut down his own Christmas tree with the family MG42 yet to take home to his war wife living in the Christmas cottage.

Shame that the M14 was the worst service rifle ever fielded by the US.
>even worse than the Krag
>>33777769
Should have had an MG

I think 80 meters is still a bit more than the distance where ARs are most comfortable. And I doubt many soldiers are able to keep shooting-range cool and accurate in a battle scenario.

Duncan McCollum is interesting. He knows a lot about Japanese rifles and wrote one of the best books about them but then in the Tales of the Gun episode he was in he said some stuff that he should have known better about. Stuff like "Dust cover were removed by Japanese soldiers because they rattled".
Ian mentioned it in passing, but his father's not too much into guns anymore. Seems like he gave Ian a lot of his collection.
Turns out Duncan joined some new age co-op. An Anon here posted an image and link one time showing him to now be into spiritual healing or something.

You are a true /k/ommando fucktard
>>33778401
I mean, if you're storming a building you're not fighting at 80 meter distances.

Did he just pointed a loaded firearm at the cameraman

The Krag wasn't bad, they just picked a shit caliber and ultimately shit advanced waaaay to fast anyway where it was soon obsolete.
The M14? Solid fuckup all around. They adopted the fucking thing over the T48 FAL with promises like it could use Garand machinery (it couldn't). IMO we didn't have to get the FAL either, the Italians knew how to make a .308 Garand with a box mag right the first time. The BM-59 is one of the most underrated rifles of that era and it stands shoulder to shoulder with the FAL, G3 and SiG 510 - and literally all it fucking was is a rechambered garand with a box mag, F/A, and a barrel with a rifle grenade launcher

Worst US rifle ever is either the Springfield Trapdoor or the M14. The Krag was just in a shit caliber more suited for close range combat and it got trounced by 7mm Mauser. Still a fine gun - Krags in better chamberings served well up until WW2 - Also the krag back then didn't have clips (later krags did)

>tfw he gave Ian a fucked up Arisaka that was carried by a jap when he was burnt by a flamethrower

>He also assisted ghostwriter Lisa Harkrader in writing Animorphs #51: The Absolute
I like his style but he has an insatiable hate-boner for the M16
