Nice.

Don't forget, the M1 is ridiculously easy to fire. Anyone can pick it up and fire it without needing instruction. It's accurate as fuck, has a hard hitting round, (one meant to kill them not just wound or piss them off) and it can and has been used in close combat as a club to the head. There's a reason the Army brought the M1 back into service in Afghanistan besides the fact it has better range than the barbie guns (M4 carbines).
And I say Barbie Guns because when they switched to the smaller round with the objective of wounding instead of killing it reminds me of a doll or toy instead of a weapon. And yeah, I know it costs more in terms of manpower, money, morale sometimes to wound instead of kill but shouldn't the objective of a military rifle be to kill the enemy, preferably with one shot?
Indeed Zap, the military industrial complex is very real. There is a reason that officers of real quality rarely make it beyond O-6. They would rather go make money in the private sector than spend the next 10-20 years kissing ass and becoming a politician in order to make it O-8 or higher. The dirt bags that do stay and get promoted to Flag ranks often go on to make millions per year based on insider trading/investments mentioned above.
O f course heaven forbid if they engineered magazines to clip into weapons... oh shit
