BotR Patreon: / blokeontherange • Forgotten Weapons Patreon: / forgottenweapons • I had a chance to meet up with Bloke on the Range in Switzerland, and we decided to spend some time discussing a few of the myths that have managed to get themselves solidly affixed in the beliefs of the shooting and collecting community. Where did they come from, and can we maybe refute them? • While one video surely won't make these myths go away, but hopefully we can give you some interesting information on them that you didn't know before! The Bloke thoughtfully put together this index of the discussion: • 1:33 Topic 1: M1 Garand Ping • 6:49 Roy Dunlap: Patient Zero • 7:42 M1's and BAR's in the jungle with corrosive ammo • 9:40 The earliest known written reference to the Ping myth • 10:09 Aberdeen and plastic clips? Nope. • 11:17 By Korea the US military knew about the myth: lessons learned • 12:31 Lindybeige cameo! • 13:30 Noisy M1 safety catches • 16:04 Topic 2: BREN too accurate • 17:52 What the British BREN training was aiming for • 18:22 Digression on use of equipment, doctrine and manuals • 20:02 Back to the point on cones of fire • 23:06 Oh no! Dunlap again! • 24:57 Dunlap's cool anecdotes • 27:14 More Whisky... • 28:41 Doctrine on holding the BREN to get accuracy • 31:29 Topic 3: Unrealistic WW2 bolt action accuracy • 33:48 Some notes on normal 20:20 vision and seeing things to hit them • 37:48 Cost effectiveness vs accuracy; timber • 39:47 Lee-Enfield accuracy standards, sniper rifles • 42:10 Free-floated No.4's as a wartime emergency measure; Lend-Lease • 43:27 Soldiers prohibited from taking rifles out of their wood • 44:41 Summary of the point: accuracy of rifles and skill level of soldiers • 47:44 Points about early adoptions of Maxim guns • 49:12 Ammunition available for training pre-WW1 • 50:16 Some points on WW2 German ammo allowances and training • 52:12 German 300m Gew 98 accuracy standard • 54:30 Bringing the previous point back to sniper rifles • 58:40 Topic 4: Mythical versions of the Mad Minute • 59:06 Shout out to Rob of Britishmuzzleloaders • 1:00:07 The various tame-ish versions of the myth • 1:02:30 The version Ian sees a lot • 1:03:10 Snoxall and Wallingford's records • 1:04:06 What the reality seems to have been • 1:04:44 How this kind of thing gets inflated • 1:07:02 German rapid fire exercises for WW2 • Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http://shop.bbtv.com/collections/forg... • If you enjoy Forgotten Weapons, check out its sister channel, InRangeTV! / inrangetvshow
