One man with a rifle? Is that what you think the enemy in these places is? How about thousands with mortars, heavy machine guns, RPGs by the thousands, IEDs and suicide bombers.

One man with a rifle.

The most dangerous critter you can ever have the misfortune of crossing paths with.

And I wasn't the first one to say that.

Go get your machine gun / mortar / IED and I'll meet ya on the field.

I'll be packing one rifle. A Russian Mosin Nagant, shoots a 7.62x54 round.

No optic help, just iron sights.

At 300+ yrds, you won't have a chance to use the mortar, same for the IED, machine gun maybe - if your quick.

Tag, your it.

The point is, never underestimate what one man can do with just a rifle.

No slight intended, mind you.

300 yards with iron sights?? You must be good.
