And yet the 27mm Mauser is often the weapon of choice in Afghanistan and has been for years.
I would suggest that 'often weapon' of choice is a poor phrase or even deliberately misleading
, more like 'The 27mm Mauser was used occasionally, as was CVR-7 with similar effect'
The weapon of choice is Reaper, whether we like it or not
