G 45 look what I
have are you jealous uh I would be oh
boy M1 Gand one of my favorite rifles
and uh some of your favorites right yes
30 out six and hopefully you've seen
this one before it uh apparently served
in World War II yes it appears to have
and the serial number and the dates and
everything tell us that it did or should
have okay so we have not done a range
two with this thing not that we could
find so guess what it gives us an excuse
to bring out this old warhorse again and
uh shoot it and we invite you alone I
hope you don't mind we weren't bothering
you okay but we thought we would invite
you to come along all right so guess got
it all dressed out in a bayet and one
grand bayet and everything maybe I'll
leave it on there for a or two unless it
messes me up plus it gives me an alibi I
can blame my missing on it okay see if I
ammo in My World War II ammo pouch known
as cargo
pants all right let me put my ears on
first and then
I'll run that in Block clip down in
there and put some ammo in
it all right it's ready to go eight big
rounds of 30 o six
all right am I up to the task it's a
heavy
gun it's a heavy old rifle let's try
that red plate over there
first all right felt good felt good so
until I start missing I'll just leave
the band out on there you never know we
could have a deer attack us you know how
they are around here they're not afraid
of anything
all
right all
right y g and I'll clear them out it's
heavy
though all right I was about to say did
he fire seven or did he fire
eight let's just put eight more in there
this is a beautiful rifle
uh no that all way back locked
in all
right all right the sights are right on
I finally after all these years have the
sights just right on so uh it's a matter
of me just holding steady and uh taking
my time I should not miss over there
famous last words right
see what I mean should not miss and that
was one of the small
ones
okay sights are right
on bad shot
B
shot yeah I knew that one should be
there felt good as I said before it's
like playing basketball or shooting a
basketball you kind of know when your
sights are
on uh if you let a you know a bad shot
off all right let's go and try that two
ler nice
sender and the little red
plate oh boy 30 out6 knocks it around
doesn't it all right did I fire 7 or did
I fire six I think we always finish up
on the red plate over there at the top
let's go ahead and do that so I can have
a fresh load on these uh the enemy
that's close at hand here okay
so I'm going to go over there hit the
red
plate oh I missed it can I blame that on
the uh bayonet I guess not at this
point all right more
ammo let's pop that red
plate there we go
now let's see what we can do right here
with these uh these uh these three enemy
combatants that are charging I could
just stick the a band that out and
accept them right all right let's get
these
back oh man and I've got ammo left now
what do I do well only thing I know is
uh unload the firearm and the best way
to do that is just like
this is put it out through the end of
the
barrel hope I didn't get my band that
dirty and
Smokey well so pretty cool I don't have
to tell you that do I if you if you
don't have should I say affection some
affection let's just yeah let's just use
that word because that really would
upset the uh the uh hopel phobes the
people who hate Firearms you know
will'll just say affection so if you
don't have some affection for an old war
horor like this M1
Gan uh you know what's wrong with
you uh that's pretty uh ironic me asking
any body else what's wrong with you
right cuz I have nothing wrong with me
so yeah the band and also you know I
like a little extension on my uh almost
any rifle or shotgun I have because of
my size this is actually uh authentic
this is a designed for the grand maybe
the a three spring for I don't know but
the grand for firing uh uh you know
grenade when you had the grenade
launcher on it you know cuz that's that
is a pad for that so and it gives me an
extension it's beautiful so it's pretty
much
authentic and it makes the the firearm
feel so much better for me uh Again The
Recoil is not that bad it's just a NATO
150 uh grain basically 149 147 150
whatever grain ammo and even though it's
30 out 6 so it's not like firing a 458
wind mag or anything and it's a heavy
firearm so The Recoil is not that bad
it's semi-automatic to boot so get a
little less recoil so pretty nice in
that regard and fun to shoot so we're
definitely empty everybody see that
there's no ammo in there okay so I'm
going to reach up and uh take off the
bayonet ouch before that is hot I need
to do it without touching I
can well just leave it on we'll let the
barrel cool but it is an authentic a
real bandet and that's that's pretty
cool too again as I've said before um
I'm uh I'm glad I haven't had to use
this in battle and that I can appreciate
it enjoy it on the Range okay if I had
been alive at that time I guess I would
have been over there using it in battle
perhaps but uh uh these Firearms are are
are just interesting to study to Fire
and most of us thankfully we can do that
in the security of our own shooting
range right so they're pretty cool most
of us who have these kinds of firearms
are not running around pretending to be
GI Jo and all that sort of thing or GI
Joe wannabes even uh we just appreciate
the history and we enjoy firearms and
fun to shoot so And1 Gan uh it has seen
battle we assume looks like it has even
has markings that appears it might be
counting of some sort we pointed that
out before and uh you can't hate it an
any1
gr if you can what is wrong with you
life is good
