    This taught me more then anything i learned in basic training....imagine that. They need to bring this back and really teach the true fundamentals of marksmenship

      The difference in marksmanship between the Army and Marines is that only Marines who qualified as expert can teach, not so true in the Army.
      Drill Sergeants are all good at PT, but when it comes to marksmanship they’re a hit or miss. There are some DS’s that are barely qualifying themselves...
      As a matter of fact, marksmanship has gotten so atrocious in the Army, I saw an E-7 who barely qualified using the paper target version, now that’s sad...

      In reality, I shot "Hawkeye" in the Army(which is a perfect score) over and over, throughout my enlistment and when I got out, I've made friends with many marines and I shoot circles around them. They literally look like they've never shot a rifle when we are at the range or hunt. So the bs myths that marines purport about how "they have better training" is all a myth. The training is the same....what makes the difference is the individual man.

I assist the USAMU deliver SDM training and the big surprise is how quickly, literally about 15 minutes, a Soldier can come to understand what to do about the wind.

      No it's not, trans Atlantic is more affluent than that, it's more British sounding, but not quite all the way, most early stage theater, and movie actors up until the early fifties had Transatlantic accents, or films like ten commandments, or Troy, really any historical epic drama they use that accent, Heston was big into using it in various roles, he didn't in planet of the apes, but the "smart apes" or chimps did, so there's a difference

    I used to shoot an M1 and later an M1A in High Power Rifle back in the late 90's to early 2000's (my eyesight forced me to quit). I owned this series of lessons in a VHS video tape, which I viewed several times. Many non-competitive shooters poo-pooed the firing position lessons commenting things like, "in combat, there's no time to adjust your sling and get in the proper position'', and although they make a very good point, but, I can't imagine being handed a rifle to shoot WITHOUT knowing the basic physics of shooting, .

    I read another forumla for windage adjustment. "The basic equation for your trajector is theta = (1/2)arcsin[gR/v^2], where V is velocity and R is range. To make any useful numbers for a rifle, you have to convert theta from radians toeither Mils or MOA."
    I think I'll stick with this video's formula...

  • @modeyman101

    It is the type of rear sight used on the M1 rifle during the second world war. It's a small bar that screws on the the right side of the sight nob that keeps it from falling off. Almost all M1 rifles were upgraded at the end of the war. my may of 44 Garand didn't have it but as I said they were all upgraded. Google it and it will make more sense.

  • @geodes4762
    @geodes4762 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The adjustments for windage and elevation can into play when setting the battle sight zero on the 25 meter zeroing range. The target i set in a grid and elevation and windage set based on where the bullet strikes in this grided target. On the M1 and M14 the number of clicks of elevation and windage were recorded and normally written on a piece of tape and put in the butt stock. On the M16 we just left the rifle with the battle sight set. In combat you used the battle sight zero setting. If any adjustment were need from there, you basically “kentucky windaged” it. No one is going to be doing any sight adjustments in the hear of combat!

    • @shable1436
      @shable1436 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      This is just for novices, and beginning marksmanship, if you were ever in scouts they teach this exact same course, at least they used to, only difference is scale, so .22s just because it's cheap rounds to practice with, then if you have talent, you get moved up, same exact scorebooks and instructions though. In a real world scenario you won't have time to do any of that unless you're a sniping, and have a solution from range finder/windage calculation.

  • @allenchilders3049
    @allenchilders3049 5 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    The M1 Garand is without a doubt the best military rifle of World War Two. The captain is impressive and knowledgeable. He is obviously an expert and perhaps a West Point graduate. But if you look at combat footage from any of the theater of operations you will see the soldiers or marines putting out a large volume of fire at the enemy. It was firepower as well as stopping power that won the war. Not making adjustments to windage or elevation. Not precision. But regardless the M1 Garand rifle is what won the war.

    • @colinhowell2967
      @colinhowell2967 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      From reading the Army rifle manuals of the time, their training emphasized both. Lots of on-target shots-off-target shots are useless. (That target might be just an aim point if the enemy was hidden.) The rifleman in combat would be expected to make sight adjustments quickly at the start, if possible-such as when repeatedly shooting at a concentration of enemies. If he didn't have time, like for a fast-moving target, he'd make do with using the battle sight and adjusting by eye.
      (That "captain" was Hollywood actor Dan Tobin, by the way.)

      @@colinhowell2967 I suspect that the battle sight setting was used a lot in actual battles - the precision shooting seems more suited to snipers who would usually have a telescopic sight anyway.
      One US soldier or Marine recalled a close-in skirmish with a Chinese in the Korean War. The latter was only about 20 yards away. He fired several shots at the Chinese and missed while the latter would throw grenades at him that failed to detonate or whose explosion was weak. Then the US soldier realised his Garand was on the battle sight setting and at such close range the rounds were flying over the head of the Chinese. At his next shot he allowed for it and the fur cap of the Chinese went flying. No more grenades came. The American did not bother to check whether he had actually killed the Chinese - he withdrew from the position.

    yds with no zeroes by miles=clicks....any decimal left over is whole...so 3.1 = 4 clicks. Full correction 2,3,4,8,9,10
    Half correction 1,5,7,6,11
    Zip obviously, 6&12

    Na bud, K.I.S.S.. Keep It Simple Stupid. No offense. Here is the formula; Range (100yrd) x Wind Speed (MPH) / Constant = MOA. (MOA is a full value in this case) Go download yourself a Precision Rifle Sniper Log Book in .pdf. Everything including all formulas are in that booklet and it breaks it all down for you. I use mine for target shooting. It gets pretty fun knowing what your gun is doing.

    Lock bars mean nothing, i have multiple garands with no lock bars that are all SA ww2 and i have 6 rear sights all from diff mfg's, only one of which have it, and yet they are all ww2.

    Wow, they didn't even attempt to teach us this when I went to basic training in 2006. Really goes to show how far primary education has fallen in this country.

    Yes, on the right side. The US military swapped the old, out dated lock bar sight with the one you have now. If I had known how much trouble my first comment would make I would have said nothing. hahah!

    I think the Captain might be wrong. If zeroed at 100 yds and one click up gains you an inch each 100 yds, you need 2 clicks for 200 3 for 300 and so on. He's saying that I only need a single click at 500!! How did this get past the training command?!
