[@actionjaxxson1749]

I think that was a typo. He probably meant “clearing.” But it’s a pointless gesture that’s proven later when that dude he let live proved he didn’t need one of those guns to kill more Americans. Miller managed to get one more American killed senselessly with that little stunt.

[@benjauron5873]

As a Veteran who carried firearms his entire career in the military, we are taught to take the same piece of every weapon left behind so the enemy can’t use them, or take pieces from each weapon to make 1. Don’t take different parts, take the same part on all of them. That’s attention to detail for the Director.

[@oldschooljack3479]

My dad said the same thing... Any equipment that had to be abandoned and could potentially fall into enemy hands had to be disabled. Typically by destroying one matching critical component on each piece of equipment.

[@coryhoggatt7691]

WWII. They marked fallen soldiers with their weapons to make it easier for Graves Registration to find them. While they were advancing there wasn’t much risk of the enemy getting there first. There were also so many weapons around from fallen soldiers on both sides that they weren’t too worried about them falling into the hands of the enemy. They were more careful with heavier weapons though.

[@Oscar-ws3mf]

@@coryhoggatt7691 Wrong, they wouldn't leave any weapons behind of they could help it, cause the war was already being extremely costly so they couldn't afford such luxury as to be marking the graves by leaving weaponry behind, weaponry that the enemy could repair and use against them.

Apparently they wanted to add more scenes, add more characters and story lines and edit things here and there along with the name itself.

[@anthonykaiser974]

@@chiyo-chanholocaust8143 same reason. It's a movie. Spielberg was probably trying to show the horrors of war, and the dilemmas leaders have to solve. Remember, a problem has at least one good solution. A dilemma is a situation where ever potential solution comes with significant negatives. War is fraught with dilemmas, some of them enemy-induced. Successful tactics involve putting one's enemy on the horns of a dilemma.

[@rockstarJDP]

He did it out of a guilty conscience - think about the scene in the church where he's explaining how many men under his command he's lost not long after losing Vin Diesels character. He says every man he sacrifices under his command could save the lives of many more. The irony of the entire film is that he has to sacrifice so many lives for just one life so as he says to Ryan on the bridge "earn it". I think he attacked the position because by risking himself and his men, it would save the lives of many more that would get ambushed to earn his redemption for losing so many men under his command in the past.

[@Cavemanner]

In addition to what the others have said, also remember the beginning of the scene. They think it's an abandoned station until Miller stops to take in the context clues and then uses his field glasses to take a closer look. The Germans were pretty well hidden, and there's every chance that a regular Army unit, not Rangers like Miller's squad, would bumble right on by that station and get chewed up by the dozens before they could mount a counterattack. Thinking about it in that light, losing one man to disable that position was absolutely the correct call.

[@Captain_Frank_Abagnale]

It’s pretty accurate but not incredibly so because when you remove the trigger group the butt portion of stock will come off allowing access to the op rod assembly. Basically the rifle will fall apart without the trigger group in it Source: I own a original Springfield Armory M1

[@anthonykaiser974]

You have a well worn 80YO rifle. A properly fit stock on a newish M1 wouldn't just fall off, especially if it was impaled in the dirt by the bayonet. They're supposed to be somewhat tight to prevent damage to the stock from firing or buttstroking.

[@coryhoggatt7691]

It's a movie. Throwing it was an act. It was a performance for the camera, and Spielberg probably wanted to keep the action limited to a specific perspective and tone. Hurling it off into the next township probably didn't maintain the somber tone and tension he was going for. Carrying it off probably didn't work, either. Probably wouldn't get much notice.

This doesn’t make too much sense as SS soldiers have different eagles and collar insignias. A lone SS machine gun squad would not have Wehrmacht jackets to swap too for convenience. Also Wehrmacht and SS were as seperate as the US Marines are to the US Army, meaning if a week later his unit would have been dissolved and attached to a Kampfgruppe with mainly SS they would not automatically be SS with uniforms and all.
