Yes, especially the bullsh!t about the carbine being able to stop a truck at 100 yards. I know from personal testing that .30 carbine will not penetrate .062 steel at 25 yards. Still a good video though.

If you want to see some good army training points with the M1, check this out.

http://www.archive.org/details/Rifle_Marksmanship_with_M1_Rifle_Part_1 (http://www.archive.org/details/Rifle_Marksmanship_with_M1_Rifle_Part_1)

Its a download.  I have both part 1 and 2

There's still a little propaganda in it in a way.  (I just don't see any D.I. being so nice.)

Very good.

Here's a link to get a PDF copy of the book that was to accompany it.

http://www.archive.org/details/How_to_Shoot_the_US_Army_Rifle (http://www.archive.org/details/How_to_Shoot_the_US_Army_Rifle)

The download is in the upper left corner and has the 37 Megbyte size.

it should be interesting for all those with AR-15s.

Damn! If only I'd known my M1 carbine was an effective 300 yd weapon, I'd not have sold it. ::)

Starts with a 45mm pistol and how it works on a German helmet.

I'd love to have one of those GI 45mm pistols...as well as one of those Browning .30 MG's for the next time I need to trim trees....  ;D

Believe it or not, I remember seeing that film when I was in High school ROTC in the 60's.


No old man jokes needed, I get that crap from my kids.
