Ah the memories. I had a gunner used to cut limbs off trees from the shoulder. You point out the limb and he would take it off. He was damn good.
ReplyDelete1066-1970 ~ US God's Good Green Army, I have experience with all of those firearms and they were fun at the time but shooting at silly close targets and making a lot of noise does not means any thing at all. AR-16 decent gun with proper dealing and ammo, M-14 I shot thousands of rounds through that sucker and it will make you deal. (Got my VA hearing aids now.) Shotgun, never saw one when I was int he service but I have shot thousands of rounds with shotguns. M-1 Carbine, a favorite of mine and I have one of those ten feet from where I am sitting right now with loaded magazines. M-60 was my favorite machine gun, kind of the only one I shot in the good old green Army but for a Kraut clone it was a damn good gun. 1911 I have had those and like them but I never had GI experience with one and my cousin who did two years in Nam used a Browning Hi-Power cause more rounds and the Nam shit was funny and silly, kind of.
ReplyDeleteI never saw a shotgun over there either. I was surprised to see it in the video. The M-1 the little people carried but I did like them. Ya ever fire an SKS with the tri bayonet that folded under the forearm? We got a hold of one in a place call Christmas Island. Most of us shot it and you could drive nails with that damn thing.
