- Can you shoot a bedded elk? If you sneak up on elk that are bedded and unaware of your presence, move very slowly into a shooting position.

- How many rounds can you put through an AR-15? Most AR-15-type rifles are sold with a 30-round magazine, but it is possible to purchase after-market magazines with as many as 100 rounds. That means the speed with which you shoot is limited only by the speed at which you are able to pull the trigger.

- What is better SLR or SKS? The SLR is a DMR which uses 7.62mm ammo and contains 10 bullets per magazine (20 bullets when extended). The SLR is more powerful than the SKS but has more recoil. Recoil control is the key to using the SLR effectively.
- Why does the military use the Beretta M9? Planners wanted to give Western fighting men as many rounds as possible to fight their way out, so it seemed natural that decreasing the size of a round while increasing capacity allowed the average G.I. Joe to carry and load more bullets. The M9 would allow for twice as many rounds per load.
