NOw I know what the germans were talking about when they came up against the british at Mons, They said the british were letting off there rifles so fast they thought they were up against machineguns when infact the british had "no machine guns at mons"

I went there in December with some people from school and it was raining like hell. Someone fell into a crater and the water was over his head. It's a nice place and the Cafe there is a very good. I think it's called Sanctuary Wood or Hill 62 as they call it also. There are still destroyed trees there, along with hundreds of shell cases, tunnels, and the guy who owns the Cafe has a hell of a lot of Helmets, machine guns, rifles, loads of awesome stuff. Nice shooting also :)

An extratextual information by the way: Not many people know this but Winston Churchill ran a battalion for a while on that front for a while as a British officer, thus serving in both World Wars in different missions.

that was FAST!

@kronlc Well that's not technically true. They did have some machine guns (roughly 2 per battalion i believe) but they were in desperately short supply compared to the Germans. However you are right that the speed of the British infantry firing did lead the germans to believe they were facing many machine guns. I've used the lee enfield myself (no4) using blank rounds and i can see in part how they managed that, though of course never have reached their speed.

i agree, seen allot of supposed "mad minute" but this was the best so far.

@AmericaStandsStrong1 I like the saying "Speed is fine, accuracy is final." ;)

Not about speed, it's about accuracy.
