Were the corps doing that because they did not want "to rock the NATO boat" over 7.62mm standardisation? I know that the perception in Europe was that the US having first pushed for standardisation on the 7.62 round then almost immediately afterwards decided to do ignore the standard and go for something new anyway.Skiprr wrote: The Ordnance Corps had done its best to stymie the adoption of the AR-15, and the matter had to actually go before Congress for investigation of why the Ordnance Corps was black-balling the AR-15.

Re: I deal with this every day...
speaking as someone who lives in College Station (well OK just outside the city limits) and who is married to a former Aggie, I wonder just how much of that sort of thinking you would find at A&M? One thing I noticed when I took my licence to carry course was half the class seemed to consist of female college students. As a side note, I am a refugee from the land of maximum gun control across the pond.jb2012 wrote:Well maybe not every day but seriously, probably once a week. Unless you actually visit a college campus, you probably wouldn't even believe some of the things that I have heard about guns and the gun control argument. You wouldn't believe the things I've heard TEACHERS say!! I'm convinced that people just make stuff up as they speak.
