Ever try to hold a WWII rifle longer than say, 30 seconds? Your arms will tire and your aim will start to sway.

And yes, I'm a real-world soldier.[/quote]

er, yes. Well, sorta. When I was in uniform my personal weapon was an SLR, Australian version of FN. 7.62mm long rifle, weighed 10lb. If you train with it you can use it. I'm no Arnie (6'2 tall and 165lb) but I had no issues. Hell, at one stage I had a female officer in charge and she was about 5'6" and 90lb soaking wet and I watched her shoot an M60 with a 75rd belt attached from the shoulder STANDING. Training + Attitude...

As for immersion in the game, I'd just like one that doesn't keep crashing to desktop... that'd help with immersion a HEAP.
