He's right.

We all need Barrett M-82A1s :mrgreen:

A boltie?? frak that, a brace of M2HB's for the house. Which, btw, can be set up for lefties, too. This'd make a mirror-matched set the shizznizzle.
:twisted:
Not to nitpick, but the 82's a semi-auto.

You could easily substitute "Belt-fed" for "Rifle" in the above essay and it would read pretty much the same.

A belt-fed is a labor saving device. Three or four men and a belt-fed GPMG equal the firepower of 30 or 40 men with rifles -- Same bullet, same range, same firepower (and same ammo consumption).

Q: Why do you need a belt fed?
A: "Need" has got nothing to do with it!
