U.S. ARMY WWII RIFLE CLEANLINESS COMBAT TRAINING FILM M-1 GARAND 1943 79084

[@jonpierson559]

Anyone else drooling when they were handing out those brand new M1s?

[@Khoros-Mythos]

People always make fun of these old war department films but this is all genuinely good information. Be able to assemble and disassemble your weapon blindfolded, keep the action clean and well lubricated, fall on the butt of the weapon not the action, keep your bore clear of all obstructions (including rain) but never stick anything down the barrel, for a moment they even showed him placing the muzzle on his foot which is another common but dangerous mistake young conscripts or civilians might make. This is like all the military KZbinrs making short informational videos on the basics today except all the way back in the 40's.

[@dtnetlurker]

Great and amazing training film. I notice the GI uses the older nickled oiler that was discontinued in 42. Good training on how to handle and keep the M1 operating correctly.

[@edmundcharles5278]

Great WW II training film- tells it like it is in a no modern day BS dry dialogue! BTW- the artillery crews more often than not were issued and preferred the lighter weith M1 Carbine as it was lighter for their purposes and the artileryman's Main Weapon was their howitzer or gun.

[@JR-lg7fd]

Confusing sentence for the win.

[@johnrudy9404]

While over dramatized for training, all of this is important information.

[@Green-Raccoon777]

As the kids put it: "Although dramatized, the following is a true story."

[@peghead]

The soldier @6:30 was an actor I've seen many times, I don't know his name but immediately recognized his voice.

Still good advice. I take a military cleaning kit along on hunts.

Scenes from the famous ‘Battle of Hal Roach Studios’. There was a lot of choppin’ in that one.. a lot of choppin’!

you and Joe and Ian from In Range...

That's what prophylactics are for!

[@commentatron]

That, and to keep from making little carbines.

[@KM-oi9ks]

Demolition Ranch did Hi point C9 barrel obstructions, filled the entire barrel with cement, glue, solder, marshmellows, NOT A SINGLE GUN FAILED out of 11, last one was completely filled with black powder. I love the M1 Garand, doubtful it would blow up with a patch in the end, but it could happen. Either way, the Hi Point surprised the hell out of me. Oh yeah, he shot it as well...right on the barrel shroud, still functioned.

[@Benny---]

Rifles operate at MUCH higher pressures than handguns. They can absolutely blow up from having crap in the bore. There are plenty of videos on YT of this happening.

[@KM-oi9ks]

@@Benny--- I agree, there are also plenty of videos on YT of them not exploding with a cap plugging the end or a patch barely put in the tip(as portrayed in the video) , or an AR - lawn darted in the mud kzbin.info/www/bejne/oobFnaeraL-qgqs , or mud in a shotgun barrel. Barrel obstruction are very dangerous, squib rounds - no doubt, more speaking as a testament to a POS handgun, and this military video oversimplification (prob for good reason, as people were more simple back then) but yes, it makes the point, and it stands.

[@timnavarrette3274]

Lucky!!

[@redtra236]

A 9mm direct blowback(non-locking bolt) compared to a .30-06(WAY more pressure) with a locking bolt isn't a very good comparison

[@alphawerewolf263]

A great training film but i think a garand wouldn't explode with wadding as a blockage look at demo demon ranch and others that did weapon obstruction vids but none the less a soldier should always keep any weapon clean and ready to fire

[@DrJeffDrJeff]

With a plug in the tip, I wouldn't expect more than the operating rod bending out to the right. It's sensitive to excess gas pressure, nothing else is. Add some bad luck and you can get hurt. Garands are generally considered so strong that when one does blow up, it deserves special investigation.

[@Anvilshock]

Certainly no punctuation seems to obstruct your deluge of incoherent word vomit, that's for sure …

[@redtra236]

You forgot that he also plugged the barrel with an unknown amount of oil too

[@worldwar2historyandgear970]

I poured some oil down the barrel, and I plugged it up. Me- But why, why would you do that?

[@michaelspinelli6567]

Do you own a garand or any weapons from that era?

[@worldwar2historyandgear970]

@@michaelspinelli6567 I do! I own a Garand from 1942. A Mosin Nagant from 1931. And an Enfield No1 Mk3 from 1917.

[@markpalka6382]

If you take care of your rifle and treat it right, it will take care of you; but if you let it down it will eventually let you down, which might mean "Goodbye Charlie Hello Saint Peter"!

[@flemmingranch8777]

En god film at se, for ikke at finde på dumme numre......

[@albertseifert6562]

If you don’t take good care of your weapon it will take care of you. Your life depends on it working properly!

[@captain7290]

Gee, I thought somewhere they'd actually CLEAN a rifle.😡

[@paulredinger5830]

I’d like to know how 3 Germans got all the way back to the artillery position alive? Plus I’d of given them a grenade first.

[@Anvilshock]

Dude, you you couldn't even "give" the right word to spell "would have".

Am I the only one who noticed that the German's rifle was a Kar98az from WWI?

This guy getting shot at in a foxhole while the enemy has higher ground “hmmmm. I think I’ll keep my head out”

6:38 The dogface that says he does a 'Brodie' into the puddle, falls in without a bayonet, runs to the truck with one fixed, then loses it again as he boards. Or I'm just seeing things. ;-)

[@mj_slender6717]

Dangerous mud hole . Full of stabbing instruments 😅

[@albertseifert6562]

Do take care…

[@jimsworthow531]

I have another trick I want to pull; I want to pour gasoline down the barrel and make my own flame thrower.

[@philb8338]

Pouring oil down the barrel then plugging it with paper? They should have traded him to the enemy and we would have won the war faster :)

[@kirkstinson7316]

Only one problem. The guys rifle had a round in the chamber. It would have fired! Might have jambed after that shot but would have fired. BTW, anyone else notice the German soldier was not carrying a K98K? Not with that stacking hook

[@browngreen933]

When InRangeTV did a Garand mud test, the already chambered round wouldn't even fire. Gun was totally DEAD.😂

[@redtra236]

That's what it did it showed it fire the first shot then jam

[@ericpennington6530]

I know it was just a training film. But the dude in this film had no business with any type of weapon. They made him out to be a complete idiot! Lol!#

[@johnjensen4434]

Poor guy

[@timnavarrette3274]

Great training film. The character ,Mr know it all,really gets to my nerves. Clumsy,twit idiot. Could get someone killed,or and himself. Knew a few like him. Can't be trusted. Anyways, yes, a clean machine is a reliable machine.
