This Soviet film, made for the indoctrination of Red Army infantry troops, highlights many aspects of marksmanship including the use of the standard issue Kalashnikov rifle AK-47, small arms, and the Kalashnikov machine gun.
Narration: We’ve been doing marksmanship training for many days now. It is difficult. But as Suvorov said, “What is difficult in training will become easy in a battle.” (01.00) The Kalashnikov assault rifle is the powerful and reliable service rifle of the Soviet military. The Kalashnikov works smoothly in any conditions: under the pouring rain, in cold temperatures, in dust. (03.12) Operational characteristics of the rifle: the maximum bullet range is 3,000 m; the casualty producing effect is preserved for up to 1,500 m; the aiming range is 1,000m; the maximum effective range is 400m; a bullet pierces through a brick wall of up to 15 cm; the rate of fire is up to 600 shots a minute; the effective rate of burst fire is up to 100 shots a minute; the effective rate of fire at single-shot fire is up to 40 shots a minute. (03.58) The main parts of the rifle are the barrel with a receiver, a sight, and a stock. (04.20) Other parts are a receiver cover, a breechblock carrier with a breech plug, a breechblock, a recoil spring, a forearm with gas tube assembly, a trigger and firing mechanism, a foregrip, a magazine, a bayonet knife. (04.46) During the battle, a soldier must know the firing techniques. Here are a few of them: firing from a prone position (06.05), from a kneeling position (07.15), from a standing position (07.35). I remember it from school. ‘You’re closing the wrong eye! Don’t breathe when you’re pulling the trigger!’ (09.37) The Kalashnikov hand-held machine gun is the most powerful squad automatic weapon. (12.26) Most of its parts are shared with the modernized variant of the AK-47 rifle. . There are three stages of fire: getting into the position, firing, and ceasing fire. This is the instruction for firing from a prone position. (14.32) Firing it on the move is easy thanks to the simplicity, mobility, and the light weight of the weapon. The next step was learning to find the right spot for firing, keeping watch, choosing an aim. The spot should conceal the soldier from the enemy and be suitable for applying firing techniques. (16.01) Keep an eye on the field, inspect the objects from right to left, first the closer objects than the further ones. It is important to search for targets and shoot quickly. First shoot the most dangerous and important target, then the one that is the closest to you and is the most vulnerable. A moving target should be shot considering the prediction interval, just like while firing at airspace targets. (18.06) Night firing is an ordeal. It is important to sight quickly and lock the target. (18.49) The guys did well, even though it took time to learn. (19.35) Grenades can be of different types, depending on the fragment distribution range. (20.28) Here is the structure of RGD-5, RG-42, and F-1. There are a few positions for throwing a grenade: from a standing position, from a kneeling position, from a prone position. While throwing a grenade, it is important that the rifle is in the position that would provide the ability to grab it and fire immediately. (23.40) A hollow charge grenade RKG-3 is used to fight tanks and other armored targets. Its weight is 1,070 gr, its throwing range is 15-20 m. (24.22) Let’s see how such a grenade should be thrown according to the rules. (25.15). When one is targeting a moving tank, it is necessary to aim a few meters in front of it. (26.15) Not running away, not being afraid means surviving, it means winning against a tank. (26.46) It is not easy to handle small arms, but as Suvorov said, “What is difficult in training will become easy in a battle.” Good luck with your infantry training, comrades.
