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.

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.

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.

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.

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-oi9ks4 жыл бұрын
@@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.

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 Жыл бұрын
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.
