Most learned ones,
OK, this is something that I can't recall the source of. It goes something like this:
"In WWI, the Germans went to war with a hunting rifle (Mauser), the Americans went to war with a target rifle (Springfield), and the English went to war with a battle rifle (Enfield)."
I'm pretty sure that I read it myself. At first I thought that it was in McBride's book, but I could not find it. Now I'm not sure. I've asked a few folks over the last couple of years, but so far no solid source has been found.
The challenge is on! Who said this, and where is the original source?
Commence Fire!
