He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.
Think it may have been a photo opportunity Jim with what you noticed (well spotted) all the other bodies standing behind them on the skyline like being at a picnic, somehow I doubt if the enemy is close by.
Yes, of course staged. But still he loaded the gun and didn't tap the cover when closing it...drills... I've seen the pic many times, it always stood out to me.
Can you explain what you mean in relation to the top cover not having been closed, please?
This should help

It is absolutely incredible to me that they designed this so long ago! Such a beautiful design. I love old school semi-auto and full auto designs. The inner workings of this is just as beautiful as an M1 in my opinion

Another John Moses Browning design.
