During WW2, many different styles of rifles were designed, tried and used by a variety of countries. Most were bolt action high powered rifles, with the exception of a few semi-auto rifles that came into being during the war.

Heres the scenario.

3 infantry soldiers, from America, Britian and Germany. Each has normal gear from their country and are carrying an average infantry soldier load (around 40 lbs).

None of them have scopes, are carrying heavy equipment (like bipods, machine gun ammo etc) and are equal in the regards to training, physcial abilities and marksmanship skills with their rifles.

Keep in mind that though the M1 is a semi-auto rifle, that does not ness. make it a shoe in. It has been shown that both the M98 and the Lee Enfield could be fired with extreme accuracy rapidly, with both could average roughly 35 + rounds fired and hit a one foot by one foot target from 250 yards away.

Who do you feel would win and why?

I have been having this problem for the last 2 days, Yesterday, it took me till 4:45 AM to fall asleep. I have tried watching tv and lying in bed with my eyes closed. Nothing has seemed to help and I just seem to lye hopeless. I have to wake up at 7:30 AM and I haven't gotten any sleep yet. I tried warm milk and there is no success. IS it dangerous if I lose a night's sleep (yesterday I slept 6 hours). Thanks

Did you watch it last night they showed you a dead limp baby at 24 weeks.

That made me cry, as i said before i nearly chose that option myself once.

I think aborting at 24 weeks is discusting myself.

My baby has been happily eating solids for a month and has been eating a good variety of foods and was on 3 meals a day.
The last few days he has refused to eat anything.
His front 2 death are coming through. Do you think it's related to his refusal to eat?
He's happy in himself and sleeping well. The teeth don't seem to be causing him pain.

Any other ideas why it might be?

I'm not worried about it, and don't make a fuss about it. I'm just wondering why he's gone from eating such a lot to eating nothing.

These are two things I'm trying to cut out of my diet as much as possible (and I recommend you do the same). I went to the grocery store the other day and couldn't find one of the 3 or 4 brands they carried without one of those two ingedients.

Anything interesting or unusual that you can suggest? Not just "sports" or "jump off a plane" or "climbing a mountain". Give me details.. I feel so NUMB and I need some specific suggestions on how to get out of this insane lull. I was thinking of getting a bunch of people together to read poems in the middle of the night like in dead poets's society. doesn't that sound fun??

Do they carry it on their backs to a nearby city and sell it there? Does someone come around and buy it from them? What goes on in there?
