    Still equipped with 1917 Enfield

    I just discovered what might be the toughest military unit on Earth - Denmark's Sirius Patrol. Two man units on their own for 26 months patrolling Greenland ice. They carry M1917 Enfield's still!

    I like the bit about having different ammo in the stripper clips.

    That would be a tough job in a dangerous environment.

    If you type in Sirius Patrol Weapons, a link should appear for wwiiafterwwii. It has some good info on the Gevaer 53-17 and its use.
    A good shot at close range beats a 'hit" at a longer range.
