Herr Colonel....
First. Yep you can have a thumb on the slide. You will not feel it while shooting. That night or the next day, you feel a tingle type thing. No big deal, even after 300 rounds. TS had his hands full, teaching us last Tuesday. It was RL's third time....... all of them with TS. Quite impressive. After all he does live in the land of the grasseater. Hmmmmmmm. to much to type.
However, yeah.... they did away with the metal canteen as you well know.
the reason being, for example, when I was a Boy Scout. If one put soda in a metal canteen, it wrecks it.
I dunno know if they have come up with a super, high tech, space age material for the entrenching tool. Those things were no fun anyway........
