Armour being Germanies strongest suit at the time, the Mountains slowed them down quite a bit. Note SLOWED, I think it would have been virtually...
Those were words of wisdom. Mussolini and his ego is what killed Italy in WWII.
Why? The Nagant got a little better velocity, but I think the Kar would get better accuracy, (scoped) and the 8mm would have more knockdown when...
I still think I would prefer the SMG over the LMG, mostly due to mobility. Also, the guy in the squad with the SAW is often targeted because he is...
I usually like the straight bolted rifles, but this time I prefer the kar. And yes, both bolts can be extremely stiff, but I also feel that the...

Thanks MB, these were just some books I just got. I am halfway through the "Atlas" and I would definately recommend it. It has over 160 battle...
