Probably because they never had the good fortune to make a combat report.
The ridiculous arguments are valid of course, as everyone has thier opinion of how it should be in CoD.
None of it matters because as soon as the RAF get 100 octane there will be a new axe to grind here.
Most likely ammunition effectiveness with a forum full of graphs and charts showing pretty much what we have now,
peoples opinions on how CoD should be.
Carry On
