Radio Blue Heart presents TALES FROM THE PUBLIC DOMAIN!
Episode 19: US Army Training Film: M-14 Rifle, 7.62mm Operation and Cycling T. F. 9 2970
That’s mouthful of a title. This is a US Army training film made to familiarize American soldiers with the operation, use and maintenance of the M14 battle rifle. The film uses field use footage along with animation and over sized mock ups of the weapon’s internal mechanism to show how exactly it works. This rifle was first introduce in 1957 as the US armed forces standard rifle until it was replaced by the M16 in the mid ‘60s. But, it has recently made a comeback first as a marksman rifle and its original battle rifle configuration.
A civilian, semi-automatic version called the M1A is still in production and is very popular. So civilian users can get an up close and personal guide to maintenance for it.
Once again this film is PUBLIC DOMAIN and not copyright protected in the US at least. You can make and sell your own DVD of it, download it, show it for free or for profit. Or remix it or use it for stock footage
serbia
are they wearing make up???
Further proof that Slavic chicks kick ass!
They can wear all the make-up they want. As long as they can put those M70’s to good use!
Uncomfortable things I hear.
Having made a lot of friends that are gay or lesbian or bi has changed a lot of the ways I think about the world. I start to notice things that I never really though about before. Mostly how shitty some people can be.
As you might expect, you run into a great number of anti-social people if you hang around a comic book shop. Some of the guys who come there were in or still are in some branch of the military. One in particular, for almost no reason, starts going on about gays being allowed in the military. Starts saying shit about how the army is going to go down hill and how they will have to salute each other like they do in the British army. He laughed about it really loud and everybody else just gave a nervous chuckle and looked at each other. Then when he was gone, we started asking “what the fuck was that all about?” It was best that no one disagreed with him because he it the kind of guy who looks for reasons to pop his shirt off and fight. But, usually when the other person is smaller than him.
But seriously, what the fuck? What? He’s brave enough and tough enough to join up, go through basic and the get marched off to fight and kill and die on some God forsaken rock half a world a way, but he is still not good enough because he’s gay? Mother fucker, have you even heard of Alexander the Great?!
I have a friend who is bi and was in the army. I told him that he was brave enough to become a soldier in the first place, let alone with his orientation.
If I was being shot at, I don’t care if the man next to me checks out my ass as long as he makes sure it doesn’t get shot off.
