Anyone else notice the us army referred to the magazine as a 15 round "clip"? Just FYI for those who get so upset when someone says clip instead of magazine.
@keithsimpson26852 жыл бұрын
They also meant for them to be somewhat disposable introducing the third possibility, using "clip" when a mag is meant to be tossed/dropped as well.

That was the first thing I noticed. When I went to an academy, they made you do a lot of push-ups if you called a magazine a clip. They were quite particular about the distinction.

@@keithsimpson2685 This was a problem in Vietnam when the top brass designed the mags to be disposable, then as a "cost saving measure" said the disposable mags should be reused. That was one of many decisions with the M16 that made an otherwise good rifle perform terribly.

Mag fed, low recoil, small, lightweight rifle made in massive numbers in WW2. All its ammo was non-corrosive and even loaded in magazines almost twice as much ammo for the same weight compared to Garand ammo on clips. I'm gonna say it's the best small arm of WW2, just edging ahead of MP44 as it is lighter, available sooner AND in larger numbers, more easily used while prone, more ammo for a given weight, aperture sights and was far easier to clean and maintain.

I absolutely agree with your evaluation of the M-1 Carbine. It is spot on , including your comparison to the vaunted Sturmgewehr. I have always felt the carbine was a superior weapon to it, and the far superior sights are often overlooked.

I see that this was before the cross-bolt safety was replaced by a rotating switch, and presumably before a bayonet lug was added to the heat shield retaining band

Great video of the time for the boys to Men! Who may haven't ever Held a semi- auto till then. Being an machinist of forty plus Years. A Winchester machinist saved the day by hours to Land the contract to go in production! I now own a very late inland carbine 1945 no mixmaster. Most ever to pay for a rifle to get my hands on true American history! Thanks for the greatest generation for the freedom to type these words! Thanks Carl ol, Southern boy.

I know people at least called it carbean in the 1960s. The green beret movie with John Wayne when someone is showing the guns he calls it a carbean. 1968

For the early 1940s it was amazing. Not as good as an AR15 but pretty close.
