Saw this in the latest U.S. News & World Report:
"The first "lessons learned" reports are coming in from Iraq, and it seems that most troops thought the tools of war worked extremely well . . . . But there was a long list of complaints the Pentagon has to deal with. Take the 9-mm gun. Soldiers said it lacked "stopping power" and had to be rigged to feed bullets into the chamber."
Knowing the love/hate different people have about the Beretta and the 9mm as the U.S. sidearm/cartridge, I thought some of you might find this latest "real war" input on the Beretta to be interesting - or at least good for some comments.
I wonder how it had to "be rigged to feed bullets?"
