What is it about Russians and bolts!

[Charlotte the flyer]

Are they just going to shout bang perhaps?

[BamBam]

Yes, but only once they've stuck a foot of Russian steel into someone's guts.

Nice to see them showing solidarity with Sturgeon's new 4th Reich SNP-Emblem

For Snayperskaya's benefit - They lost the bolts in Finland - along with 500,000/1,000,000 or so troops; new troops they get free, bolts cost money!

Our DRILL rifles during RAF Basic, were some very strange L1A1 "copies" - but made from bitsa-things.
The main action was a Lee Enfield, with an added pistol grip, L1A1 handguards...whatever they had in the spares box.
Bayonets were a strange No.9 type bladed job. Heavy buggers...

About time you got over yourself......I don't think Finland would do so well today.

Don't really think you need a bolt in a parade, nothing unusual

Seems it's not just the the rifles that are not all there...

They are only issued with bolts if they survive their first invasion.

Is that when THEY are the one's doing the invading (pre-Great Patriotic War/1941?)

Not a lot of resistance to the Soviets when they joined Hitler in the invasion of Poland & the Russians were well known for the humanity they showed to their prisoners i.e. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyn_massacre
