I can’t imagine being on the receiving end of several M1 Garands and a BAR. The 30-06 is a very powerful cartridge.

I suggest viewing the Ranger attack on Cabatuan in "The Great Raid". The book described the initial volley. One Japanese sentry was the target of a dozen or so M-1's. In the book, the poor chap was basically disintegrated. The event was re-created in the film. So, that was the receiving end of several M1 Garands. One of my favorite movies. Franco was really good in it. As was Benjamin Bratt. One of the few films that makes me cry.

It’s a great round I love it but TBH I believe the 7.92X57mm Mauser is even better. At least in terms of damage, I think it does almost 20% more ft./lbs. than .30-06. Which is just insane. I could be wrong, but I recall reading up on that. I think .30-06 is a little more accurate though, strictly because it’s flatter shooting. That’s just what I remember though.

I doubt they would be able to tell the difference between the US weapons of the day and the corresponding German weapons, at least discounting those weapons for which the US had no current corresponding version, like maybe an 88 mm gun, nebelwerfer, or the MG 42, for which a separate KZread historical training film was posted. The MG42 video was apparently necessary to calm the fears of US soldiers so they wouldn’t be afraid of its impressive sound/rate of fire.

This film was made in early 1942 by the looks of the helmets and assumes the existence of prepared field fortifications as if it was going to be WW1 all over again. But still, it does suggest what happened during the defense of Bataan. Also, the current version of the Thompson was the M1928A1 which was not in general use or authorized by TO&E for US Army infantry units.

This video is for military asmr history geeks

Great training film and it will be useful for my VPA army

I carried an M-1 for 3 years and can honestly say that when we were on the range I never heard any sounds except for my own rifle. We did not wear ear plugs then.

Seems like thats more like how they would sound in a city block or in a building than the country side.

I've read "Hatcher's Book of the Garand," where an astounding revelation in that book was how the US military planners had considered a semi-auto infantry rifle as early as the first decade of the 20th Century. But, the technology wasn't there to reliably manufacture such a rifle. The US military planners considered a semi-auto rifle would make the infantryman more effective in combat to carry-on the fight to the enemy for a longer time. Physical stamina tests with infantrymen proved the bolt action rifle was more tiring to operate, lessening the combat effectiveness of the soldier. One aspect that held back the development of the Garand was General MacArthur's insistence that the .30-06 round had to be used, as there were three million rounds in US military inventory. The M1 designer, John Garand, wanted a slightly smaller caliber cartridge to be used, as there were challenges making the M1 reliable from the power of the .30-06 round. According to Hatcher's book, not adopting the smaller cartridge set back the M1 rifle development by years.

That's right. Just get used to popping your head above the trench line

22:06 did not know the .50cal was ever fired single-shot. I knew about the Buffer Tube Sleeve, when released, will allow single-shot, but did not know that was ever encouraged.

At the time of this movie (early 1942, note the Soldiers are wearing the Mk.1 helmet based on the British pattern of 1917), the 37mm Anti-Tank Gun, M3A1 could penetrate any Japanese tank at that time out to one thousand yards. The M3A1 could also penetrate any tank the US Army encountered until Nov 1942, by which time it had been replaced in North Africa by the 57mm ATG M1.

@randallwong7196

Sort of related to that, a training film for the M2 light tank would recommend that a crew should wait for a target to be at 500 yards or less. Beyond that the accuracy was hurt to an amount significant enough to worry about.

They're going to need a bigger gun. Fast.

Got an easy one, they said. Just sit in a trench, they said. Nobody told me that they'd be shooting live ammo !

The rate of fire by an M1 Garrand is more like 8 shots in LESS than 5 seconds. Aimed shots, no. Experienced soldiers had to convince new recruits to just shoot in the vicinity of last seen enemy. New guys trained on paper and waited to see the enemy. They soon caught on that both the power of the 30 caliber and force multiplying abilities of the riflle enabled both suppresive fire and ricochet potential. The round penetrated up to 12" wide trees, normal cinder and concrete block and thin gauge steel, like a helmet. So, an American squad(6-10), all shooting, within a minute, could deliver generally well aimed rounds at a rate of +/- 1k rounds on target. Not a fun prospect for down range enemy.
