Pretty good your rendering sounds pretty good. But you may wish to consider Mohamed's answer. وجود أو ظهور رأى مناهض بدلاً من معارضة
Mohamed Samy Ahmed Oct 29, 2008:
صباح الخير استاذ عاصم رايك الاخير جميل جدا وممكن ان تقول نظرا للراي المعارض لاطلاق النار العشوائي-وعلي راي الاستاذ محسن انت ادري بالنص بدرجة كبيرة
Assem Mazloum (asker) Oct 29, 2008:
ما رأيكم بالتالي نظراً لمعارضة إطلاق النار العشوائي والاستعمال المفرط للذخيرة
Mohsin Alabdali Oct 29, 2008:
You Are right, Proff! Of course, as always, you are right. The context does not seem to admit the word التحيز. I think in this context, and this context only the word استخسار seems to fit better. Of course you are the Proff and you know your source text better.
Assem Mazloum (asker) Oct 29, 2008:
Hello All I don't see how التحيز fits in this context, any clarification?
Assem Mazloum (asker) Oct 29, 2008:
hi
At that time, the government rearmed its forces with breechloaders in place of magazine rifles—due to a bias against unaimed shots and excessive use of ammunition—while the xxxx acquired such weapons by direct purchase and thus, in some cases, had superior arms in the 0000's.

ما قصدته بالتحيز هنا هو ظهور معارضة ضد استخدام الطلقات غير الموجهة نظراً لما يمثله ذلك من اهدار للذخيرة.
والله أعلم.

A breechloaded rifle is a rifle loaded through the breech. Rifle magazines, on the other hand, are ammunition storage and feeding devices that are either fixed to the firearm or detachable. Without a mag. it is just a single shot!. The text you mentioned above refers to this fact. There was a bias against the usage of rifle magazines due to their excessive use of ammunition.

Such bias occured in the U.S. during King Philip's War, which started in 1675 and lasted for one year, between the American militants and the Native American. Those who opposed the usage of rifle magazines mistakenly thought that the American militants were far more technically advanced than their adversaries, and that there was no need to use rifle magazines since they involved wasting much ammunition.

after all, it is your text
good luck, Assem
