Description

A machine gun does the least damage when it fires straight at the enemy. The U.S. Army wrote down why in its 1942 rifle company manual (FM 7-10): a burst lands in a long, narrow strip. The rule at work on D-Day is in the long video linked on this Short. #machinegun #tactics #militaryhistory Music: "Interloper" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors.
