Comments by "mpetersen6" (@mpetersen6) on "British EM-2 rifle" video.

Is it just me or would it make sense for the evaluators in the Board of Ordinance in the 1950s to have been actual combat riflemen with a CIB. There most likely were individuals on the Ordinance Board that did have combat experience but how many of them actually had experienced combat as riflemen. Plus did they do honest evaluations of after action reports and captured German weapons. Specifically the G42, the G43 and the G44. Controlability of these weapons on full auto would have or should have opened their eyes on the usefulness of a full powered cartridge in a full auto rifle. Hell, the test rifles built from M1's would have revealed the stupidity of the idea. Something like the G42 in a 7.62 x 40 or so. The later video firing the EM-2 in .280 shows that had a far amount of muzzle climb also. We've seen reproduction G-42s produced, has anybody tackled this rifle?
