Modern footwear is often very different from historical ones and you often have to learn how to walk completely differently depending on what kind of shoe you have.

Part of the problem comparing the number of rounds expended per casualty inflicted from one conflict to another is that in modern conflicts there is a lot of use of full automatic fire for purposes of suppression as well as occasional reconnaissance by fire. As well, modern logistics support chains can handle the use of ludicrous amounts of ammo by the troops much easier than they could over a century ago. Now I am an obnoxious old curmudgeon who is incredibly biased against the M-16 and the round it is chambered for. But giving the Devil his due I have to admit that it is an accurate weapon shooting a fast moving bullet with a flat trajectory. I find it hard to believe that this is somehow less effective than a single shot rifle chambered in .45-70 that kicks like a mule and has trajectory like a rainbow. Thus my conclusion isn't that we are looking at a degradation in marksmanship so much as we are looking at a significant change in how weapons are being used on the battlefield.
@terribleauthority3 жыл бұрын
Why the hate on the M16? And I must ask, thoughts on the AKM?
@Picolinni3 жыл бұрын
I have to agree with you there. I grew up among a lot of Aussie WWII and Vietnam vets who bemoaned the loss of shooting accuracy that the M16 and 5.56 brought, but I came around to 5.56 at least when I got to spend time at the range on a couple of rifles chambered in it. Honestly though, 5.56x45 and 5.45x39 are accurate enough for today's riflemen, when you are needing to train in other skills beyond merely shooting. I've shot roo's with it, and frankly, if you can take down a Kangaroo at 200m with the round, a decently placed shot won't struggle with humans. Those things are built tough. I just remembered an anecdote told to me by a former ADF sniper, which lends more credence to your change of use theory. He was attached to US Rangers and other infantry. He was in his hide, observing, and he was ordered by the commander of the US infantry he was attached to fire several rounds into the building to try and provoke a response. Considering he was not a regular rifleman, he was a bit annoyed at having fire without a target in sight. No response was observed though.

Range estimation is everything. Having shot a lot of BP cartridges on the range where everything is marked in 100 yard increments, I would be lost out at the unmarked 300-1200 yards they are talking about. The smoke of your own shot would blind you so couldn't mark your own hits by seeing dust raised above or below your target so you could adjust. Also, there's very little flat ground here in Arizona so you'd normally be shooting up or downhill further complicating your ranging problems.

I can not find the reference of a 'hostile' being shot with a 1873 springfield rifle at about 800 yards. I am trying to recall the story. It might have been an officer with the name of crosman. He fired the gun and at the muzzle flash the native american would move maybe by diving/ jumping to the side and would move prior to the slow 45-70 500 grain arriving on target. What Crosman did was to aim where he figured the indian was going jump to and nailed the unfortunate. I think it was in the 1880's. Good story even if I can not find the source to confirm it.

According to Samuel Clements there are lies, damn lies and statistics. Rounds expended per enemy casualty is such...a statistic. With the advent of automatic weapons the round count went way up. So, the number of small arms rounds expended per casualty in recent actions, about 50,000:1 is accurate but does not address individual marksmanship. It is a deceiving statistic.
@wayneparker93313 жыл бұрын
Spot on. Statistics always require consideration of the circumstances to be valid and comprehensible. Otherwise, they are just numbers that may misinform. In the 1870s, the troopers were force to shoot firearms that (at most) fired 20 rounds a minute, and usually much less. Also, the troopers at the Battle of the Little Bighorn did NOT engage their enemies at 1200 yards. Read the accounts of the battle from the court-martial proceedings and you realize that any range greater than 300 yards has no basis in fact. I'm not sure where people get that number but it's not from the official accounts of the battle. Moreover, anyone who has been on a 1000 yard range knows that most people (with 20/20 vision no less) cannot see anything smaller than horse at that range, if even that. A human being is going to be no bigger than a dot, assuming one can distinguish them from the background. At 300 yards, the average 19th century trooper would just pick out the silhouette of a person with clarity and fire at the center mass with a decent chance of getting a hit.

Exactly. Most of those 50,000 rounds wouldn't have killed someone, but would have still served their purpose. Destroying cover, suppressing the enemy, the psychological effect stopping advances dead in their tracks, etc. And, on top of that, if you only have a single shot before reloading, you'll be much more hesitant to fire when you doubt you can make the shot. If you have a 30 round box magazine and full auto, you'll be much more inclined to fire a burst at a running enemy that you'd normally wouldn't have attempted.

Kevin made good points about the lack of marksmanship training; I think that realization is part of what drove CPT Stanhope Blunt to write his marksmanship manuals in 1885 and 1889; if you haven't read them, they appear to be patterned after the manuals from the British School at Hythe, and deal specifically with the trapdoor Springfield. They are an excellent sources for late-19th century American marksmanship. I will take exception, however, with his comparison of the number of rounds ex[pended per kill. His comparison was really an apples to oranges thing; in the late 19th century, suppression by automatic fire was not any part of the tactical scheme, whereas it *was* in the 1960's (and still is). When you suppress the enemy with large quantities of fire directed at zones rather than individuals in an effort to make maneuver safer, of *course* you'll use more ammo per kill. That's a feature, not a flaw, as they say--that's the point.

Compare the Apacheria and Federal troop battle with the hidehunters battle with Comanche and Kiowa at 1874 at Adobe Walls on the Canadian river in the Texas Panhandle. The Indians were armed well but could not defeat the barricaded buffalo hunters who knew how to shoot. Billy Dixon shot a native on a mesa from nearly a mile away. What really put paid to the Comanches was when Col. Ranald Mackenzie & his troopers killed over 1200 Comanche horses, putting chief Quanah Parker and his people on foot. They all had to walk from Palo Duro Canyon to Fort Sill and the reservation there in Oklahoma in September of 1874. They were whupped right before winter.
