What's amazing to me is that my dad and other relatives carried either the Garrand or .30 carbine all over WII and got the job done. Countless soldiers carried the 30:06 all over with a 9+ lb rifle plus the gear. what I especially don't understand about our military is why they want to stay with a varmint round. I know it's a NATO round etc, but putting combatant down quickly vs multiple shoots doesn't make sense. Don't even get me started on the 9mm vs the 45 acp! Once again a heavier bullet will do more damage as well stop a vehicle.
