K98 and war crimes... If you consider fighting against other armies a war crime... And I don't think they used all their bullets on civilians...
Nevertheless, the K-98 was used in war crimes more often than the M1 Garand, I'd imagine. But the K-98 obviously got lots of its kills from the Eastern Front, so I'm not saying they got all thier kills from genocide. I was just saying that the better rifle would be the Garand in combat. I'm sorry I brought this subject up to topic, let's just forget about it and move on. I never meant to offend anyone.
Untrue, the Marine Corps rifle qualification known distance course has a 500yd line element (200, 300, and 500yd line fire). At 500yds they shoot at a "dog" target, it is basically a silouette of a human head and shoulders (I think it's either 28" or 36" across the base, smaller than a barn). It has been part of the basic rifle qualifaction course forever with whatever the currrent service rifle was at the time, '03, M1, M14 and all the M16 variants, using standard issue military ball ammunition and iron sights. You don't qual on the range you don't graduate from bootcamp, you then re-qual annually.
