Speak when spoken to. Unless I ask for your opinion or make a post in your thread, { and I wont } You have no business speaking to me. I thought I made that CLEAR to you. Is it not odd that of all the people posting in this thread it was only YOU that took it on yourself to answer me? There is a connection between these guns but I'M SURE you either THINK you know or have discounted it because it did not com from YOU> get over yourself.
Thank you for your input but it is not wanted nor accepted. You can simmer in your own juices cause your on my ignore list also.

Yes, yes, this person is definitely a real piece of work.
That link proves you to be wrong. The BOLT ACTION rifles mentioned by the OP are not semi-automatic. They are manually cocked;

You could have done some research, attempted to understand the subject matter, and explained yourself, but no, you shaped your ego into a shovel and dug yourself in deeper.
I'm not hateful btw, I'm pedantic. especially with those who refuse to admit they are wrong. I know you won't be reading this, but everybody else will know what a fool you are, and that's the funniest part.
It's a public forum and I will post what I damn well please, and you just have to suck that up.
It only needed responding to once.
That's rich, considering your opening egotistical line. The OP was a simple question, and you went off topic.
I'm not going to ignore you, you're amusing!

Allying yourself with someone who has made an arse of themselves doesn't add to your credibility.

He's right, they are bolt action and bolt action is not semi-auto.
I was being slightly unfair. I have a bolt action .22 leaning up against the wall behind me, I used my experience and knowledge of a subject, which seems to go against the grain of some SF members, who just state opinion!
Let's see if Leo has the good grace to admit he was wrong, ...
i have no idea who you are referring to but i never said a bolt action was semi automatic.

the 'these' in my post referred to the rifles mentioned in the OP. You replied saying the above, which in context is about the Mauser and the Lee Enfield. Maybe in your head you were imagining an MP40 being sprayed around, but as you never mentioned such, the conversation was about the rifles from the OP.

a 1903 30-06 Springfield kicks both thier asses.
No, the sights are to fine to make a good battle rifle, it is out standing on the target range, but under combat conditions the sights are to fine, and they hard to acquire, and disappear when light levels are low, the Enfields M-3, 1914, and 1917, have excellent peep sights, and easily acquired front sights, that work well under all light conditions.
The Garand was a worthless piece of shit. Fundamental design flaw. If you have a brain you'll know exactly what that is.

:roflmao: Your opinion backed by what real world experience? History doesn't agree with you in fact and result.
I'd be curious to see you try to substantiate your opinion with fact.
If you can't tell me what the fundamental flaw of the garand (yes, when deployed for use in this magical "real world") is, you have no place talking about it.

The only thing I have ever heard criticized about the Garand was the clip loading system that was employed, but I do not know of a situation in the real world were that was ever a factor in combat, and as I was taught by my uncles, who used the weapon in combat you always kept a few empty clips just for reloading loose ammunition, and the Garand can be fired single shot, you just have to know how to do it, and every one that I know, knows how to.
As usual you ignore the actual record of the weapon in favor of your wet dream fantasy of reality.
Now if the Enfield was such a great weapon, and the Garland was so crummy, why were the British Troops in Korea armed with M-1's?
You post as if you are privy to some facts in support of your argument. Cite them or fuck off.

As for the real world I had a Garand in Vietnam, I used it as a back up, and preferred it to the M-16 when the ranges went beyond 350 meters, close up its stopping power was awesome, and it could reach out and end sniper harassment, and even in Nam I had no problems finding clips and ammo, 25 years after WWII.

Old, G.F. learned his tactical from X-Box, his supposed military knowledge doesn't come for doing, or from the real world, just his wet dreams.
Buff, I know a few Nam vets whom said they used Tommy guns as suppressors(VC would instinctively duck at the unfamilliar sound). You ever see someone use it like that?

I don't remember any 1928 Thomsons, as suppressed weapons, I saw some Grease Guns, MP-5's, Smith & Wesson M-39's, High Standard's, Sterling's, Mac-9's and M-14's with suppressors, but no 1928's.
The ducking wasn't from the sound of the weapon it was from the passage of the bullet, as it went by, and it could be used to adjust fire as they duck away from the side of the bullets passage.
Had a Thompson with 2 hundred round drums for a while, a awesome up close, little recoil, and you could use it like a garden hose, gave it to a point man, in the jungle up close he needed it more than I did.
