I watched An American Werewolf in London about the same time as you experienced the T01 and it scared me shitless for years. I think the T01 appears to have damaged your young mind, similarly.
I am enjoying the rifle so far, anyway. Not sure I'll be entering any FT comps with it but if it can keep doing what it's doing for me so far, I'll be happy. I have only shot it in isolation so can't make direct comparisons with any of its stalemates or urinating rivals. I may do and report back.
Just think- there are two Typ 01's lurking not 15 miles from your house! Please don't have nightmares: please do sleep well.
