Carbine Movies

[TDH]

Did anyone else ever notice that in Combat when ever Hanley fired his carbine it was always from the hip even though in the extras Rick Jason was described as a hunter in real life. As a matter of fact Saunders very seldom brought his Thompson past his waste and Kirby didn't need sights on his BAR either. Now Caje knew how to bring that M1 to his shoulder

How about all the carbines on the television series LOST ? And 1911's, P38's,
and Lugers ?

LOST! That is an appropriate title for the program. I watched it once and was totally LOST? Where are they, what are they, is it someone's dream after imbibing in illicit drugs? I had a headache after watching it!

As far as hip shooting, I think Audie Murphy did a lot of hip shooting. While I wouldn't hunt small game from the hip, I am pretty good at man size targets with a carbine, M16 or AK at 25-30 yards, but that is after 10s of thousands of rounds. It helps that I was a rangemaster and firearms instructor and someone else paid for my ammo for over 20 years...

I used to take my boys (when they were very young) down to the river on my property and throw blocks of wood in. They shot at them with semi-auto 22's, from the hip. Literally, brick after brick. They got really, really good. Then I set up a OB coarse in the woods with targets that they had to go through. It was great training for them, they liked it and none of their friends did anything like that. Boy what I would give to go back to those times.....Frank

You have to watch it from the very beginning and then you may have to rewatch it to pick up on things you missed the first several times or you will become LOST

Ends up it's bases on time travel with a lot of good vs evil. they claim since this is the last season that all of our questions will be answered. but so far all they have done is present more questions rthan they answered.

And most of them are time appropriate for the time peiodd they were skipping through but they also have had HK pistols, for one example, years before they were invented. there has also been other firearms boo boo's. My one buddy catches all that stuff.

I still like to hip shoot. Years ago when younger, I used to walk beer cans with my brother's M1, hip shooting. And also blocks of wood in the local lake. Those days were fun! GK

GK, soon it will be the grand kids doing it here. Going to try the beer can thing. Have a good one......Frank
