To: I got the rope
I got sent to Honduras in 87'. I watched as the rain clouds swired over the land and ocean. Just as it started to sprinkle, I pulled out a small can of WD-40 and soaked my M-16. About 2 minutes later it rained like I had never seen in the states. My rifle never rusted! It rained for 3 days without stopping.
I don't have experiance with desert warfare, but I do with Artic conditions. In the extreme cold, "bolt action" is best. In the jungle, a sloppy AK that works is better than an M-16 that is accurate but fussy.
Knowing when to be accurate and when to spray and pray is necessary to be an effective grunt. I think our weapons are to high tech. They forgot to Keep It Simple Stupid.

He could ring it as fast if not a bit faster than I could with a semiauto.
This is a trick that I have decided to learn.
