PDWs...and other small arms.

I just wanted to point that out before any more took the pedestal of lecturing to someone who has probably spent more time in a week doing the things we're talking about, than they likely have done in 20 year careers even. The experience level shows when you take an entry-level soldier against someone who has been blasting his whole adult life. A lot of the lessons you guys are trying to explain were learned by your audience before many of the current generation were even born, then built upon over seasons of professional, real-world experience covering decades.

No need to lecture to those that have a different view point and experience. To dismiss dissenting viewpoints by making a general statement about how much "more" experience someone has than another in an attempt to quite the differing opinion, never works well for a discussion forum. That is not the kind of attitude a discussion forum should ever take where fellow members try to learn from each other. My $0.02.
