The difference in marksmanship between the Army and Marines is that only Marines who qualified as expert can teach, not so true in the Army. Drill Sergeants are all good at PT, but when it comes to marksmanship they’re a hit or miss. There are some DS’s that are barely qualifying themselves... As a matter of fact, marksmanship has gotten so atrocious in the Army, I saw an E-7 who barely qualified using the paper target version, now that’s sad...

In reality, I shot "Hawkeye" in the Army(which is a perfect score) over and over, throughout my enlistment and when I got out, I've made friends with many marines and I shoot circles around them. They literally look like they've never shot a rifle when we are at the range or hunt. So the bs myths that marines purport about how "they have better training" is all a myth. The training is the same....what makes the difference is the individual man.

The M1 Garand is without a doubt the best military rifle of World War Two. The captain is impressive and knowledgeable. He is obviously an expert and perhaps a West Point graduate. But if you look at combat footage from any of the theater of operations you will see the soldiers or marines putting out a large volume of fire at the enemy. It was firepower as well as stopping power that won the war. Not making adjustments to windage or elevation. Not precision. But regardless the M1 Garand rifle is what won the war.
@colinhowell29673 жыл бұрын
From reading the Army rifle manuals of the time, their training emphasized both. Lots of on-target shots-off-target shots are useless. (That target might be just an aim point if the enemy was hidden.) The rifleman in combat would be expected to make sight adjustments quickly at the start, if possible-such as when repeatedly shooting at a concentration of enemies. If he didn't have time, like for a fast-moving target, he'd make do with using the battle sight and adjusting by eye. (That "captain" was Hollywood actor Dan Tobin, by the way.)

@@colinhowell2967 I suspect that the battle sight setting was used a lot in actual battles - the precision shooting seems more suited to snipers who would usually have a telescopic sight anyway. One US soldier or Marine recalled a close-in skirmish with a Chinese in the Korean War. The latter was only about 20 yards away. He fired several shots at the Chinese and missed while the latter would throw grenades at him that failed to detonate or whose explosion was weak. Then the US soldier realised his Garand was on the battle sight setting and at such close range the rounds were flying over the head of the Chinese. At his next shot he allowed for it and the fur cap of the Chinese went flying. No more grenades came. The American did not bother to check whether he had actually killed the Chinese - he withdrew from the position.

To make any useful numbers for a rifle, you have to convert theta from radians toeither Mils or MOA." I think I'll stick with this video's formula...

It is the type of rear sight used on the M1 rifle during the second world war. It's a small bar that screws on the the right side of the sight nob that keeps it from falling off. Almost all M1 rifles were upgraded at the end of the war. my may of 44 Garand didn't have it but as I said they were all upgraded. Google it and it will make more sense.
