What the heck is this???

[indy007]

The 44 was a result of German testing showing that the average engagement range of infantry on a "modern" battlefield is 400 yards. America didn't do these exact same tests until after WW2, but came up with the same result. Mostly stamped construction making it cheaper & easier to produce, around 500k produced, and very lethal fighting the way it was designed. Not a perfect gun, but it definately set the bar for light automatic weapons.

 a garland is a thing you put on a xmas tree or get in hawaii.

The M1 Garand was the finest rifle of WW2.


I have to take everything else you posted with a grain of salt since you got that wrong.

I come from the Pyro school of typing...and no the Garand wasnt the finest rifle of ww2 although it was certainly one of them and was probably the best "primary" combat rifle of the war. But why should I bother since your just another noob who wants to ignore the facts and jump on the typo's.

I'd hate to be hunkered down with my garand if the other guy is sitting 1200M out with a Mosin-Nagant.

The primary issues here are if the STG-44 is an assualt rifle.

If the M-1 carbine is an assualt rifle.

Was the M-1 carbine distributed to combat manuever elements in place of garands as an interchangable weapons system?

Now youwant to argue anyof the facts I posted or do youwant to head back to the spelling bee....?

 You being an arrogant bellybutton is not helping your cause.

What the hell is some guy going to do with open sites at 1200 yards?



Sounds pretty newbish/sniperwannabeish to me.

Maybe you should try to be more like your name implies.  I never said I was an expert or even that knowledgeable, on the subject. I did not state my opinion on the STG-44 either way. I was just pointing out you look a little ignorant by consistently missing the name of the Garand.

Well, Sturmgewehr literally means assault rifle. An infantry weapon using cut down rifle cartridges, designed to engage targets at 400 yards and establish a superior volume of fire. I don't think there should be any question as to whether or not it's an assault rifle. It invented the class.

Did you know that the best sniper ever was finnish and  racked up hundreds of kills (500+) using the above mentioned rifle (with open sights). You want to bash me for poor spelling fine...but the facts stand or fall on merit...not my spelling. I provided 3rd party content on the issues regarding the M1 carbine...so because I cant spell thats "bad info"?

Who's being ignorant?....just tired of folks here murdering the messenger....
