    The Sig Saur rifle was approved because TRADOC needed a way to force soldiers to actually take just 210 rounds into combat. As opposed to stuffing every possible space on themselves with extra magazines like some kind of crazed ammo packrat.

    Until we reintroduce the tactical wheelbarrow at any rate.

    Bwahahahahahahahaha!

        The wheelbarrow is better because it’s private powered. As long as you have MREs to fuel the private you’re good to go!

        How many kilometers do you really think that’s capable of walking? A mule is better tech.

      Should have just adopted a rifle with a magazine cutoff. Then they could just issue people belly boxes for volley fire.
