A PATROL ON THE BEACHHEAD. Patrols came ashore in LVT's before the main body of infantry and tanks. As the amphibians came over the coral reefs, no barbed wire, mines, or other military obstacles impeded them.

Ya gotta love that big M2... quite a sight to watch those tracers arc out 1800 yards right where you put 'em. They can, however, be a bear to keep timed right when they get worn.
Our guns have changed now and headspace and timing are gone. The QCB version eliminates all that.Quote:

He also passed the training along to his replacement's group and left my gauges with them when he came back.

Contributing to the cause...as he leaves he hands them the gauges and says "Here's the keys"...
