The little war with the "best sniper'

[MaxMan]

The Winter was in 1939, Russia invading Finland.

This came to me when going over what you regret selling. Thought about the Soumi I had

Then remembered the winter war story I came across many years ago when trying to ger some history.
The real gun was full auto with a 71-round magazine, These were made from some original parts plus some remanufactured parts for only semi auto operation and a barrel extension. About 8.5 pounds the put a 71-round magazine. Wow. Minimal felt recoil with the 9MM. Never could get the drums to work right so i stuck with the 31-round stick.

I watched the video and it is very much like what is going on right now in the Ukraine ......

It don't stop do it? History repeats itself because nobody listens the first time.

The sniper was just barely mentioned but he was estimated to have made something like 500 kills.

Except we didn't feed the Finns a ton of weapons/$$$ for their war....some civilian aide but no military support. Ukraine is (was) a spoiled brat used to getting whatever it asked for with no ROI to the supporter.
