Well . . . back during WWII, some US Marines were unhappy to change from the old bolt-action Springfield to the M-1 Garand. To each his own, I guess.

Dig, for the Yanks that don't understand a "300 bird day", probably good to let them know that that's a day in which a line of shooters ("guns") bags 300 birds, collectively. Probably over the course of about 5 separate drives.
