Looks like a scene from the movie, "Them". A 1950's Scifi classic.

Looks like they may have their eyes shut as well.
Do you accept contributed pics? I have one of my great uncle with his Garand during WWII
Do you remember the rule of aim?
"Close the disengaged eye, looking through the center of the aperture at the target, select a point of aim...keeping the sights upright, align the tip of the foresight, etc, etc, etc"
And they're all right hand shooters, so...we see the closed eye...
Was it just me or did those Sci-Fi, alien invasion movies scare the stuffing out of every 8 to 12 year old?
The Thing, It came from outer space, The body snatchers probably the one I remember most was Creature from the Black Lagoon think it had a couple of sequels as well.
I think that my brother and I, as children, watched most episodes of Doctor Who from behind the settee in the lounge at home.
I seem to remember the William Castle Horror flics, "The Tingler" and "The 13 Ghosts" as being scary. I also remember my brothers and I crawling under the couch to watch "The Outer Limits" on TV hiding from our parents. They would find us quick enough as we screamed at the first alien with big eyes coming on the TV screen. Of course everything was in Black and White back then.

The Thing scared us to death, but when we showed it to our kids and their friends on movie night they laughed.
Bob have a look at the new improved colour version of The Thing with your children and friends bet there wont be too much laughter its pretty good although an 90's version, also who cannot forget a weekly dose of "The Outer Limits".........
Yes we use to watch Doctor Who in the early 1970s on a small square wooden boxed black and white television of late 1950s vintage. It was an old set then and the picture quality very poor partly due to it being only 405 lines but it was all my parents could afford at the time and so was better than nothing. I remember my gran was the first member of the family to get a colour television in the mid 1970s and there was a massive improvement in picture quality and it in colour as well!!!
