Soldiers must “train as they fight!”

they could have cut the 30 slides to that.

there is a HUGE disparity in the amount of training the "average" soldier gets vs. higher speed units.

unless your with light infantry, Ranger, delta or Spec Ops... you'll probably fire a 20" musket (M16 A3/3) once a year.
