Yes, i see your point, but regardless, noone would sit
and wait. You yourself say further down that you would
shoot everything you got at the target. Would you
wait until they were mere meters away?:)

Well, of course we have no real combat experience, we havnt been
in a war for ages. We're a sensible country after all (well,
if you disregard politics, prices and taxes at least ;)
So, you agree that noone should be able to get close to you
when they're charging you, and you have them in your sight?
Great, we agree. What's your problem then? :)

This would translate to something like "runs off like
water on a goose". I dont know whether Nils is comparing
himself to a goose, or whether his amount of bodyhair
actually works as some sort of defence ;))
