I offer our Facebook fans the choice of which video they would like to see today, and the result was overwhelmingly the British EM2 rifle. These were made in both .280/30 and 7.62 NATO calibers, and the one we had the chance to play with was in 7.62. I apologize in advance for the brief amount of shooting in the video - I thought we had gotten more on film. In full auto, the rifle was really a handful - it would have been a much more effective design with its original .280/30 cartridge.
