could the muzzle energy disparity be explained by the fact that the .30 o6 cartridge was larger? perhaps the 7.92mm was more effective in offering less recoil, and as a result less fatigue for the shooter? I dunno, just speculation. I know that the swedish mauser with the 6.5mm cardridge was often called more effective because of the redused recoil. And the ranges that the majority of fights would be at, the redused energy wouldnt make a difference. Sorry about the horrible spelling, but I am focused on the hockey game right now, which Canada is leading Russia 3-0
Best I know, you CAN'T buy that in Canada. Can you?? A guy at work had a cousin in BC that had a FAL and he was trying to dump it in the late 90s because of gov't confiscation...or so I thought. Maybe I'm just thinking of Australia. I know that they chopped up theirs.
Less energy, maybe because the .30 06 round is 63mm long vs. 57mm for the mauser? It seems to me that the .30 06 may be a fine sniper, or specialist cardridge but overpowered for the average soldier. Do you think that if the Garand was rechambered for something like the 6.5mm or even the 7.62 NATO (I realize it was post war) it could have been even better? I suspect magazine capacity would be increased as well, for no penalty in weight.
If it was full-auto its illegal even with an urestricted license, its really strict out here, a Semi-Auto FAL is legal out here though
