I recently received an email from a younger friend serving in Iraq. He used to razz me for my 'obsolete' weapons preferences. I am now hearing the .45 is in use after failures of the 9mm, Old ma deuce ( John Brownings other obsolete wepon, the .50 BMG ) still rules and M14s are popular as the M 16 still jams and the round fails to put people down. <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
