I love the end of the BBC story - complaints that they failed to stop heavily-clothed enemy at close range. Always the dig.

Just exactly how "heavily clothed" were the Chinese in this conflict? Must have some real "armored underwear", to borrow a phrase from modern underclothes and advertising.

OMG, the energy transfer alone would leave you knocked out cold as the proverbial fish from being struck by a 160 gr FMJ even at close range. Or is my understanding of ballistic impact way off the mark?


Anyway, we'll take them. And, I hope, make them good again to be part of many people's collections and as shooters.

Bob, I think that specific comment referred to the use of M1 Carbines in Korea, not the M1 Garand. JMO. Cheers, KarlKW

Looking at the verbal construction, that might be true indeed.
