Lee Emery with a springfield, and a pom with a No1 MK3, in a race to break 20 plates, complete with slo mo enough to see the bullets in flight, I loaded it onto the front page of enfield resource, just scroll down to the lower half, good fun, even if Emery had to end up cheating.
The Lee Enfield Rifle
Haven't had a fresh look, but if it's the vid I watched a while back, the operator with the No1 needs some basic instruction... so unco he couldn't beat time with a stick!Quote:

They should remake that vid with someone who can really shoot a No1.....
It would be worth it just to see Ermey pee himself...Quote:

Not sure about Ermey's comment in regards to the 30/06 being the first smokeless round, i am very sure it was the French with their "Poudre B" in the Lebel round that came first.
Funny though, that they didn't show the final results - as they walked away you could just glimpse the remaining plates and the enfield was only 2 or 3 behind.
Great video, thanks for posting. I agree someone with more "time" on a No1 would be smoother and faster. Regardless of the outcome Ermey is correct in saying the Garand is a great rifle, the problem he has is the No1 is a better rifle.
And I sort of wish the English chap was not wearing a very badly shaped Austalian Army Slouch hat as his shooting hat.
As an Aussie it sends the wrong message about how we have used the SMLE don't you know:D
I saw one of these video's where that wild old colonial in the IQ reducer cap was telling us in the civilised world that the BAR was better than the Bren. Someone needs to give him a stiff talking to................ Something better than a Bren....... I should coco!
If I hear that again, I'll get send a gunboat over there and take the Americas back. That'll teach them a lesson!
