4:30 am wake-up for the prep of the guntrucks for a convoy, my 5 ft tall gunner was always twice as fast, setting up his 240L machine gun in his turret. Those cans of belted 7.62 nato could be tossed up to the turret, rather than carried.
He'd then go lend a hand to the other gunners still fking around with the 50 cal, head spacing barrels and carrying ammo.
End of mission cleaning, 50 cals would still be in parts, and he'd turn his 240l into the arms room.
I'm surprised with how some gunwriters of today, would dare claim the 6.5 douche-nozzle is a better hunting round than the 308 winchester.
When a young Alaskan kid is drawn for a bison hunt, guess which cartridge makes the cut?
The 308 winchester:
