GUNNY ON HISTORY

[Overload]

They only have an hour.  The Arty show featured more guns than the MG show.  I am surprised they showed 2 shows this week.

Should a show like this warp, or at least be selective, about history in order to feature the guns they have on hand?

I wonder why they didn't mention the m2 MG is actually the M1919, and cover it in chronological order after the m1917.  No mention of the BAR.

I expect they'll do a separate episode on automatic rifles.

 The M1919 Browning is the .30 cal light machine gun, The .50 Cal was originally the M 1921 water cooled .50 Cal the M2 was the same receiver with an air cooled barrel replacing the water cooled one

If the 1919 is the .30 Browning, what was the 1917 I saw on the show?

The 1919 is the AIR cooled .30 cal LIGHT machine gun. The 1917 was the WATER cooled .30 cal HEAVY Machine gun

Maybe a show on small arms is coming up soon, and side arms as well.
