    It’s the Russians.

    In WWII they were handing out rifles to every second guy and ammo to every second.

      I could just see it…

      Rifle Person: Hey give me that ammo they gave you so we can kill some people

      Ammo Person: Once I give you the ammo… you don’t mean kill me right?

      Rifle Person: …

        I think there may have been like a pre-loaded 5-8 shot or something mag in those, but since they didn’t expect the person to last until reload, they gave every second person a rifle so like “wait until he cops it/runs out of ammo and cops it” and then takeover and reload.

        I think there’s like at least a bit of this in some 90’s early 00’'s war movies when we weren’t as mad at Russia. Maybe like… “Enemy at the gates”…?

        I can’t recall. I checkers yeah it’s in that movie. Also Jude Law, so, despite current political atmosphere, it’s a good watch.
