Thanks for the recommendation. Found a used one on Amazon and it should be here in two days.

Your thread title caught my eye because I have a large - 8.5" x 11" - format paperback "Battlefield Analysis of Infantry Weapons (Korean War)" by S. L. A Marshall. It's also based on a series of interviews with various combat soldiers regarding their experiences with infantry weapons - M1 Garand, M1 and M2 carbines, 1911, BAR, hand grenades, bazookas and so forth, even down to the bayonet. Instead of covering each individual's experience, each chapter covers a single weapon and analyzes the effectiveness of that particular weapon based on the compounded experiences of the men who used them.

I like this kind of analytical stuff, should be a good read.


Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
