Like many other nations, the United States was born of war. The freedom sought by our founding fathers was not free; it was paid in patriot blood during the American Revolution. No matter the reason—the preservation of democracy, liberation of the oppressed, or revolution—the United States has been no stranger to the battlefield. Through deserts, jungles, and grassy plains; in brick buildings, straw huts, and log cabins; by mountains, ditches, and the oceans, the infantry soldier has relied...

This is a remarkable example of how the amendments were inserted professionally by printers – in this case located near to the Hythe Small Arms School . It contains all of the amendments of Machine Gun Training up to 1930 and is twice the size of the regular Machine Gun Training manual of 1925.

A field experiment was conducted to determine whether a circular bracketing sight, framing the front sight on a standard rifle, could enhance the effectiveness of the rifle system in short range, quick reaction type engagements. Two bracket sizes (1.32 and 2.64 inches in diameter) were mounted on .M16A1 rifles. Targets at ranges of 25 and 50 yards, were exposed individually in random sequence for 1.6 seconds. Ten enlisted infantrymen each fired 20 rounds at the targets using each bracketing...

The title of this thesis suggests that there are diametrically opposed philosophies on the subject of small arms in the hands of civilians. Those concerned about the issue are divided between those who support civilian small arms possession as stated in the Second Amendment of the U.S. Bill of Rights, and those who wish to control any civilian small arms possession. This thesis will investigate some of the original arguments by America's Founding Fathers as they sought to determine the...

This thesis explores the problem of determining the relative worth of small-arms in a combined arms scenario by using aggregated models. The documentation of current operational models is reviewed to see how the effects of small-arms have been represented in general, and in large-scale aggregated-force models in particular. After investigation of the main uses of small-arms, an inference is drawn that the contribution of small-arms is only implied in current models.

Tests were conducted to determine the suitability for Army use of a modified feed system on the 7.62mm, M60 machine gun. The modified system is essentially a modified feed plate. It consists of an extension of the feed plate which forms a hook that accepts a modified 100-round bandoleer. Approximately 12,000 rounds were fired from each of four M60 machine guns equipped with the modified systems.

This study is concerned with the development of a blank cartridge for the 7.62mm family of United States weapons which would accurately simulate the performance of ball ammunition. It is concluded that: (1) the short blank cartridge developed at Frankford Arsenal was unsatisfactory for use in the M60 machine gun, and (2) that Belgian, Dutch and Canadian blank cartridges function the M14 rifle and M60 machine gun satisfactorily at ambient (70 F) temperature, provided blank firing attachments...

A field experiment was conducted to determine the effectiveness of a circular bracketing sight in improving the hit capability of the M16A1 rifle at low-light levels at short range in quick- reaction situations. Eight riflemen fired at four pop-up targets that appeared for 2. 5 seconds at ranges of 20 and 40 meters. The subjects used weapons fitted with the standard sight (control) and a circular bracket sight. Testing was conducted on the Live Fire Instrumented Range at Fort Hunter-Liggett,...

The theft of arms and ammunition through illegal entry into arms rooms and ammunition storage areas constitutes a sensitive problem for the Army and the Department of Defense. Such losses must be minimized to avoid public embarrassment to the armed services, and because of the fear that stolen arms wilers during training and maneuvers, loss during transit, and other unaccountable reasons. The available statistics regarding weapons losses indicate that substantial numbers are the result of...

This report documents the abatement of lead-impacted sand fill removed from the sand pit at the Building 649 former indoor small arms firing range. Based on the sand pit construction details and observations of the empited sand pit, it appears that the lead-impacted soil was contained within the concrete box.

A field experiment was conducted to determine whether a circular bracketing sight mounted on a standard M16A1 rifle could enhance the effectiveness of the weapon in a short-range, quick-fire environment against a moving target. Circular bracket sights of 1.32 and 2.64 ins. in diameter were used. Human silhouette targets appeared moving along a track at 6 mph. at distances of 25 and 50 yds. and remained exposed for approximately 2.5 secs. Subjects were infantrymen who engaged the target...

The subject contract was executed on March 20, 1952. Its purpose was basic research and development of ammunition for a proposed short aircraft caliber .60 machine gun. This gun is novel in design. The projectiles and cases are separately loaded, the latter being fired when in a position normal to the bore axis. Hence, the propellant gases must change their direction of flow by 90 deg before entering the bore of the chamber. The scope of the work is set forth in the contract objectives of which...
