Pretty freaking cool WWII infantry weapons video

Thanks, I enjoyed that. Also learned that I have an inert rifle grenade that I previously thought was some type of bazooka round.
 
Great video. I don't have time to watch all 28 minutes of it, but I love the .30-06 AP ammo demonstration against a 3" thick concrete wall at 200 yards. That's more penetration than I expected.
And the Army says even the .30 carbine with standard ball ammo will penetrate the doors of a big military truck, killing the driver? I didn't think it would do that from 100+ yards away, either. Thats a pretty small and light bullet, with poor sectional density. But, they shot a dummy, apparently, in this vid. I see the holes through the door.


P.S. I didn't know that a belt-fed Browning model 1917 belt-fed machine gun only fired at 250 rounds per minute. That's SLOW.
