It is quite a fun gun to shoot, the big counter weight slamming forward really keeps the recoil down, it almost wants to pull forward after every shot. Very controllable, even firing quickly! It's too bad the round was never chambered in more guns, it really does suck as a deer hunting round but makes a great short-range manstopper - it would have been a big step up from .30 Carbine if they'd chambered it in something like an M1!
Go back in time-->select fire Winchesters for erryone-->beat those commie bastards to having a real assault rifle-->get US army equipped with it so we have a jump-start on everyone else
