lol good luck in the army mate! Mike's comment, IMO was totally unwarranted and very provocative, so I don't blame Jsoh for defending himself...

I was there for g-war 1 so how does that come in to this debate sorry lost??Back to the debate shot both 20 years ago as now in the UK your kitchen knife may get you locked up!Me friend as I was too young at the time had both and think his k98 was better but with the mass of production you must get better or worse examples,so if I have to come down with it the german gun on what I have had in my hands was the best.

He is a coward, so I am not worried. He will post that one comment up there and that will be it, maybe a month or to later he will make another stupid comment about how I am unAmerican because I am not shooting up terrorists. He has no clue, so his comments dont bother me, but I will not take a verbal butt whooping from anyone, even from a veteran. But lets get back to the Arisaka vs the Mauser.

I went to a gunshow this weekend, and when I looked at the mausers, the machining marks on mausers are harder to see than on the Arisaka. The Germans were really anal about making a pretty rifle.

BTW, last comment about the bullet size being to wound enemies. My dad told me that he was told that at the M16 course when he was in the military. I doubt the guy supposed to teach them about the M16 would get that wrong.

To the guy joining up, all I can say is good luck!!!
