Wow, congratulations.  That's just about as ignorant as saying that the PLA is a terrorist organization.  Good job.

Im pretty sure what he's saying is that if the answer to his question is 'no', then he's going to be just as ignorant as everyone else because obviously it doesnt matter.

I also think its an offensive statement though. The PLA are one of the most organized and trained armies in the world and am not aware of ANY terrorist act they have committed.

I seriously hope you dont think that just because in a GAME that if an army is fighting the U.S. that they are automatically terrorists.

Huh?  What are you talking about?

My statement was straightforward enough.  What he said about gun toting and flag waving Americans was ignorant; as is any claim that the PLA is a terrorist organization.  I.e. I agree the PLA does not commit terrorist acts of which I am aware.  It IS the tool of an oppressive totalitarian regime, but it isn't a terrorist group.

Yeah.  Rizen is right about the PLA though.  Comparing them to a terrorist organization is pretty goddamn stupid.

Well actualy the US uses bolt action sniper rifles. 
First, a sniper can only fire one shot before moving, less to a trained soldier they will fully give away thier position.
Second, Bolt action rifles are more powerfull.  A simi auto rifle uses some of the power of the shot to force back the reciver and eject the round.   The spring action then loads the next round.  This takes power from the bullet in 2 ways.  1, some of the energy is used to move back the bolt, also this give the gas a 2nd avanue of escape aside of pushing the round forward.

Bolt action rifles are more accurate, more powerfull, and have a greater range.
