not sure how you do a quote so
"200 yards is NOT 3 miles. actually the ratin for the m1 was 300 yards was the kill range. after 300 yards the bullet would tumble and just wound.
which isnt a bad thing because a wounded soldier takes on average 3 people to care for him
a dead soldeir takes 1 to dig a hole
also, never forget your weapon is built by the lowest bidder."
One of the kids killed at Kent State by an M1 was a MILE away from the the guardsman, and the bullet is suspected to have passed THROUGH two other people on the way.
