In the 1870's our gallant troops -- ever at the forefront of technology -- were carrying these assault weapons:
They were quite advanced -- no ramrod needed! All that matters is that you can reload as fast or preferably faster than the other guy.
Are you forgetting that, at one point, I had a large collection of WWI and WWII weapons? I still have an 03-A3, along with several M1 Carbines and an IHC M1 Garand, although I opted not to keep any of the Mausers, Enfields, or Nagants.

I just happen to be someone who is fostering by way of adoption. We'll see how it goes. If all else fails, I spend $3-500 to save a dog and make another US family very happy. Not a bad karmic trade
Congrats! I would happily mule a dog back to the States.
