Sure it matters to you or you wouldn't have brought it up with the flippant K98 remark for comparison, which is fine but at least admit to it.
I hope your ok with the M1 Garands nickname of the gun that won the war.
for one thing the indians were not great conservitors, as there were not great numbers of them, they just moved to another area. and they were not big on peace either as they warred on each other all the time. and their are no native americans, they came here just like all others that came later. only on foot. the sad thing about the indians is the way the late commers and the government treated them(and still is). eastbank.
