I would agree except for what cartridges it was chambered for. Most everything I can think off (.44/40, .38/40, .32/20 and .30/30) had great looping, slow-pitch-softball trajectories. Yes, they could reach out and touch someone at a few hundred yards, but you'd have to hold a few feet over the target - literally. For the .44/40, for a 300-yard shot you had to hold nine feet over your target.

And the Stoner System was so far ahead of its time that it could be dusted off and put into front-line service today and no one would ever notice. Not bad for any design over 50 years old.

WOOT! My springfield 03 is on there! I'm glad they put the springfield/k98/enfield on there, all very fine weapons. I agree, the BAR would also be a very influential weapon, and had quite a bit of stopping power behind it.
