    It’s a matter of skill. Carlos hathcock used a .50 machine gun to snipe people in Vietnam. I hit individual targets at 500m with a 249 on a single shot with iron sights.

        What’d you get on your asvab? Drool? In asymmetric warfare being a window licker doesn’t mean you saw much more than anyone else unless they never left the fob.

              To your point about ASVABs, that’s the exact reason an average infantryman isn’t effective. I wasn’t sure some people could tie their own shoes, let alone handle a rifle.
