> S.L.A. Marshall was a fraud, and “On Killing” should be read with the knowledge it was written by a fraud. "On Killing" was not written by S.L.A. Marshall, but by Dave Grossman. I know a few people have attempted to check this thesis by examining how many historical weapons we have are loaded, or reconstructing battles with laser beams. I'm still skeptical because it's so counterintuitive and old science never replicates, but I don't think "On Killing" has fallen apart yet.
