  • How hard is it to get Rifle Expert badge?

  • I wish that there could be an anniversary year where gun manufacturers reproduce old WWII rifles from all sides (German, Japanese, Russian, British, American, etc) And sell in all countries with 100 rounds for every weapon respectively, and a commemorative book that speaks about ALL the aspects of the war with an unbiased approach. If this happens, my wish list will be: 1903 springfield w/scope, M1 Garand, Type 99 Arisaka (not last ditch), Mosin Nagant, and Stürmgewehr 44.

  • @Txman1996

    1903 Springfields my friend. Enfields were only issued to the second wave of the AEF in France. No footage exists of Marines with 1917 rifles.

  • First rifles shown were M1917 Enfields.

  • @wallieburger Thats why the video ended there XD

  • @gochromeorgohome

    Unless he was told to do so, which I suspect he was by the person in charge of the filming.
