    Last WW1 Rifle Armed Unit

    This is a pretty cool video for a Sunday afternoon.

    I love the history of these old rifles. Its interesting to see that 100 years later they haven't come up with anything significantly better.
    I was a little surprised to see a civvy use for AP ammo.

    In the far icy north, where men are men and Polar Bears are hungry, there was until recently two military units armed with antique rifles. Now, only one survives - its issue weapon being a 106 year-old rifle from World War I. Discover the story of the Sirius Dog Sled Patrol...
