Somewhat amused by the comment in the first review that – Semi-automatic rifles in full power cartridges like .30-06, 8mm Mauser and 7.62x54R fell out of favor soon after WWII in favor of those favored in smaller cartridges. Assault rifles – i.e. rifles with full or at least partially full automatic capability – are designed around lower power cartridges, but semi-automatic DMRs and sniper rifles ;are fielded by numerous militaries around the world. Somewhat damages the author's credibility. |

It's not entirely wrong, though. Semi-auto rifles in full-power cartridges are basically only issued at the one-per-squad or one-per-platoon level. |

Again, a weapon is only as good as the trooper using it.  |
