    They won’t even have enough shovels for 10 million soldiers. Guess we’ll be seeing meat waves of guys with pointy sticks, then.

      Bad news is that they still have mosin nagants. There were almost 1/2 a billion of them made. I’m surprised they haven’t pulled them out of storage on a larger scale yet.

          Considering how many they shipped here, you might be right…some oligarch told the ussr they made 1/2 a billion but really just made 50million, then sold most of them off for pennies.
