      We stopped buying these death machines from you years ago (in fact, we never really started buying them):

      But that didn’t stop you from making more of them or making them more deadly each year.

    The saying remains: European rifles are amazing unless you’re left handed.

      I’ll be contrarian on this: For rifles, your eye dominance matters a lot more than which hand you use. Really you shouldnt be relying much on fine motor skills for it anyway. My southpawed family members just shoot like everyone else.

        I think they mean the bullpups fling hot brass into your arm if you shoot lefty.

          … right, but if you dont shoot lefty, that’s not a problem. That is my point. Just shoot “righty”. There isnt a good reason not to unless you are mostly blind in the right eye or otherwise impaired on the right.

            Because my dominant eye is the left? So I shoot lefty. Even tho I am right handed. And yes the difference is noticable when I shoot righty.

            Now to be fair I only do standing air rifle shooting maybe real firefight situation is different.
