Most of the news shots I saw showed the military/police armed with Enfield No.4 Mk 1's (or Mk2?). Not a bad rifle, IF the shooter is well trained, which apparently they were not, and knows the limitations of that weapon...


Not much training is required to use the Enfield No.4, it is probably the simplest rifle to use out there. Pull the bolt back, push it foward, line up the vertical metal protrusion at the end of the rifle where the bullet comes out into the centre of the round hole at the back of the rifle just above the bolt at what you want to shoot then pull the trigger.

This is what can be acheived in trained hands.

The idea that a couple of AKs outclass dozens of Enfields is just laughable.
