★★★★★ · Very Good Film · timerover · 2017-11-16
This is a very good film to show the effects of various weapons. I will be using it for my World War 2 history class to show them what the US infantry and Marines were using.
★★★★ · Helping the American Fighting Man Have Confidence · Jeff Tabor · 2011-08-16
This film is meant to show soldiers of the era the appropriate use of their weapons. It graphically demonstrates what they can do. There is also the secondary effect of convincing him that American equipment is up to the job, and to inspire confidence in the tools provided to him. An excellent film for the student of WWII, or military arms.
