  • Thompson Brochure 9Th Edition.Indd
    9th Edition Own A Piece Of American History Thompson Submachine Gun General John T. Thompson, a graduate of West Point, began his research in 1915 for an automatic weapon to supply the American military. World War I was dragging on and casualties were mounting. Having served in the U.S. Army’s ordnance supplies and logistics, General Thompson understood that greater fi repower was needed to end the war. Thompson was driven to create a lightweight, fully automatic fi rearm that would be effective against the contemporary machine gun. His idea was “a one-man, hand held machine gun. A trench broom!” The fi rst shipment of Thompson prototypes arrived on the dock in New York for shipment to Europe on November 11, 1918 the day that the War ended. In 1919, Thompson directed Auto-Ordnance to modify the gun for nonmilitary use. The gun, classifi ed a “submachine gun” to denote a small, hand-held, fully automatic fi rearm chambered for pistol ammunition, was offi cially named the “Thompson submachine gun” to honor the man most responsible for its creation. With military and police sales low, Auto-Ordnance sold its submachine guns through every legal outlet it could. A Thompson submachine gun could be purchased either by mail order, or from the local hardware or sporting goods store. Trusted Companion for Troops It was, also, in the mid ‘20s that the Thompson submachine gun was adopted for service by an Dillinger’s Choice offi cial military branch of the government. The U.S. Coast Guard issued Thompsons to patrol While Auto-Ordnance was selling the Thompson submachine gun in the open market in the ‘20s, boats along the eastern seaboard.

  • CARBINE SHOOTING with ACCURACY Including How to Deal with Some Specific Problems Submitted by an Anonymous Author
    CARBINE SHOOTING WITH ACCURACY Including How To Deal With Some Specific Problems Submitted by an Anonymous Author Knowing what to expect from a used USGI Caliber .30 M1 Carbine is a beginning point to shooting it with acceptable accuracy. Knowing what is a reasonable expectation is also helpful to avoid overly enthusiastic demands. The starting point is to recognize that all USGI Carbines are more than 60 years old. These Carbines have been used by military and police agencies of many countries under harsh conditions and often in combat. As needed and depending on the level of US support, the Carbines have been rebuilt any number of times with USGI parts and with foreign manufactured parts. A well set up Carbine in good operating condition with good ammo will score 95-98 on the SR 200 yard highpower center prone over a rest at 200 yards (the SR-1 target at 100 yards that is used in the M1 Carbine Match is comparable). This is simply a test of sight picture, ammo, the Carbine and trigger pull, not the shooter's position skills. Most bullets will stay in the 10 and flyers will go into the 9. A Carbine poorly set up or well used will not keep all its rounds inside the black (9 and 10 rings) and flyers will go into the 5 and 6. That is a big difference in score and a big difference in accuracy potential. Most used USGI Carbines lie somewhere in the middle of these extremes of potential accuracy. The actual potential for any particular Carbine depends on the amount of use, the damage done by muzzle end cleaning without a guide, and the ammunition used for firing.

  • NSIAD-99-41 Civilian Marksmanship Program: Corporation Needs To
    United States General Accounting Office GAO Report to Congressional Requesters January 1999 CIVILIAN MARKSMANSHIP PROGRAM Corporation Needs to Fully Comply With the Law on Sales of Firearms GAO/NSIAD-99-41 United States General Accounting Office GAO Washington, D.C. 20548 National Security and International Affairs Division B-281768 January 12, 1999 The Honorable Frank R. Lautenberg United States Senate The Honorable Carolyn B. Maloney House of Representatives This report responds to your request regarding the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP), which until 1996 was administered by the Department of the Army. As required by the Fiscal Year 1996 National Defense Authorization Act, the program was to be transitioned from the Army to the private, nonprofit Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle Practice and Firearms Safety, which was established by this law.1 The program is designed to promote and monitor marksmanship training through a system of affiliated clubs and to sponsor marksmanship competitions.2 As part of these activities, the Corporation sells certain surplus military firearms to the affiliated clubs and their members. In response to your request, we determined (1) whether the program’s conversion to a private corporation and the Corporation’s subsequent firearms sales were conducted in accordance with the 1996 act, (2) the types and value of federal support provided to the Corporation, and (3) the types and number of firearms the Army transferred to the Corporation and was storing for potential transfer. In August 1998, we provided information you requested regarding the Army’s investigation of alleged criminal activity within the CMP when it was an Army program.3 Results in Brief The Army and the Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle Practice and Firearms Safety completed the transition of the CMP to the Corporation on September 30, 1996, in accordance with the 1996 act.

  • Ready for Battle: the Personal Equipment of a World War II Soldier
    Ready for Battle: The Personal Equipment of a World War II Soldier Adapted from ―Survey of U.S. Army Uniforms, Weapons and Accoutrements‖, courtesy of the US Army Center of Military History: http://www.history.army.mil/html/museums/uniforms/survey_uwa.pdf The United States Army in World War II had a distinct advantage over the Axis when it came to equipment. Both in terms of quality and quantity the power of American industry kept the GI’s well supplied. For a Soldier, equipment is a matter of survival. Even something as simple as a button can make the difference between victory and defeat if it fails to function properly at the wrong time. For this reason Soldiers have a strong tendency to become attached to equipment they like, and to modify or discard equipment they find unreliable or useless. Among the Infantry, who have to carry their equipment wherever they go, this tendency is even stronger. Individual Load Carrying Equipment Soldiers must carry everything they need for combat operations with them at all times. Individual load carrying equipment is designed to allow the Soldier to carry a basic load of ammunition, food, water, and first-aid gear. The exact make-up of this load varies from conflict to conflict. In more modern times the load has grown to include additional equipment such as gas masks, maps, compasses, and radios. Because of the cost of replacing equipment for Soldiers is high, equipment is usually replaced in phases, with front-line troops receiving the new equipment first. Support units typically receive equipment later as older equipment wears out or becomes obsolete.

  • The M1 Garand Leroy Thompson
    THE M1 GARAND LEROY THOMPSON © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com THE M1 GARAND LEROY THOMPSON Series Editor Martin Pegler © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 4 DEVELOPMENT 7 The switch to semi-auto USE 39 The M1 rifle on the battlefield IMPACT 69 Loved by infantry, feared by enemies CONCLUSION 75 FURTHER READING 78 INDEX 80 © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com INTRODUCTION General George Patton called the M1 Garand rifle “the greatest battle implement ever devised.” Bear in mind that Patton was a tanker who had commanded the first US tank school during World War I – he understood that the job of a military force is to kill the enemy, and the M1 Garand was good at that. In an age when other major armies were still armed with bolt- action rifles, the self-loading Garand gave US troops a distinct advantage. In fact, the “US Rifle, Caliber .30, M1” – as the Garand was officially designated – was the first semi-automatic rifle in general issue to any army. The M1 Garand rifle replaced the M1903 Springfield as the US service rifle in 1936 and would remain the standard until supplanted by the M14 rifle in 1957, though Garands continued to see limited US service well into the 1960s. It served with some Garand-supplied US allies for even longer periods. In total, the M1 Garand was used by more than 30 countries. The Garand rifle was known by various names, and it is worth commenting here on nomenclature within this work. The term “Garand” is widely used today among US collectors, but among World War II and Korean War troops it was usually referred to as the “M1” or “M1 rifle.” There was little confusion with the M1 Carbine, as troops just referred to the latter as the “Carbine.” In this work “Garand,” “M1 Garand,” “M1 rifle,” and “M1 service rifle” will normally be used interchangeably, while the designation “US Rifle, Caliber .30, M1,” or the variation in use during the period under discussion, will be given when referring to official documentation or testing.

About the CMP and CPRPFS A 1996 Act of Congress established the Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle Practice and Firearms Safety, Inc. (CPRPFS) to conduct the Civilian Marksmanship Program that was formerly administered by the U. S. Army Office of the Director of Civilian MarKsmanship (ODCM). The CPRPFS is a federally chartered, tax- exempt, not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation that derives its mission from public law (Title 36 USC, §40701-40733). The CMP promotes firearms safety training and rifle practice for qualified U.S. citizens with a special emphasis on youth. The CMP delivers its programs through affiliated shooting clubs and associations, through CMP-trained and certified Master Instructors and through cooperative agreements with national shooting sports and youth-serving organizations.

  • Mauser Match
    Mauser Match Old Military Rifles Rule Chillicothe Sportsmen’s Club History: The Mauser Match was conceived and implemented in 1997. The purpose was to give our sportsmen the opportunity to compete with high power military rifles at a relatively low cost.
