OTTO THAT'S IT MAKE IT LOOK GOOD I'LL FILM'EM
YOU SHOOT'EM. I BET THIS IS A PROPAGANDA PHOTO, LOOKS REAL OR REEL ANYWAY THIS IS MY GUESS.
OTTO LOOKS LIKE HE'S SHOOTING DOWN ALL THE ENEMIES OF THE FATHERLAND. LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK, WHERE'S THE BRASS? AND THAT BOX MAGAZINE HOLDS 25 ROUNDS, OTTO SHOULD HAVE ON HAND EXTRA MAGAZINES. IF HE USES A SADDLE DRUM MAGAZINE THAT HOLDS 75 ROUNDS, THAT ONLY GIVES HIM ABOUT 4.7 SECONDS SHORT BURSTS!...

BRASS A GI TERM: AFTER FIRING HIS AMMO, ALL THAT WAS LAYING ROUND WAS THE BRASS.
