me to be counter productive with all the first names.

"Drop it and spread 'em" that's text book.

Street wise it would translate to:

FREEZE A$$HOLE! ... UP AGAINST THE WALL!!!"

But Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke set the western standard:

"Alright, hold it right there"

That is unless you're in Hawaii, and it's :

"Book 'em, Dano!

Which would you rather take on a 5 mi motivational run?

Would you rather carry 120 rounds of M14 ammo or M16 ammo?

No the M-14 took that design to the zenith.

Actually it was IBM that perpetuated the WWII phonetic alphabet up
until the the end of the 20th century
I had to unlearn the "alpha, bravo..." when I left the service and
started with IBM in the 60s.
Unfortunately they skip "1"s and "O"s when they label circuit boards
(so as not to be confused with "1"s and "0"s, the numbers) so there
are words I can't spell phoneticly. ;-)


I also loved the M14, as my expert badge shows!

With the M14 you only need half the ammo, or less.
