I thought they were a Theocracy at this point?
Also while a bolt action rifle is pretty smart and they make a lot of it out of wood, I'm not sure if they are aluminum or steel rifle barrels.
Steel barrels are good for reducing recoil as it is heavier stuff; however, as these are bolt action rifles meant for soldiers they could be made light for ease of carry. They are also not that long for a war rifle and more like a carbine.
Also... they don't have any rear sights, just the nub on the end. D=?
RIP accuracy beyond 50yrds.

Fuko If they are M1s (M1 Garand) then they would be a semi-auto rifle, much more complex and bigger, no little bolt handle off the side. I'm just going to guess these were rushed into production and are missing lots of features you'd find developed during industrial rifle production. So they are like lighter, easier to use muskets. Better not see anyone being crack marksmen with these. >_<
