What was the mantra of troops in the Philippines during the Insurrection? "Civilize them with the Krag!"
Nothing finer than a good Krag. Slick action, accurate, and a natural pointability added up to a great combo. Box magazine hanging off the side makes for an ugly gun? Bah, that's another of its endearing traits. That magazine is fool proof, easy to load (dump 'em in and slam 'er shut), and not in the way at all once you're used to it (which takes about 5 seconds).
