  • The Army's M-4 Carbine: Background and Issues for Congress
    The Army’s M-4 Carbine: Background and Issues for Congress Andrew Feickert Specialist in Military Ground Forces June 8, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS22888 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress The Army’s M-4 Carbine: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The M-4 carbine is the Army’s primary individual combat weapon for infantry units. While there have been concerns raised by some about the M-4’s reliability and lethality, some studies suggest that the M-4 is performing well and is viewed favorably by users. The Army is undertaking both the M4 Carbine Improvement Program and the Individual Carbine Competition, the former to identify ways to improve the current weapon, and the latter to conduct an open competition among small arms manufacturers for a follow-on weapon. An integrated product team comprising representatives from the Infantry Center; the Armament, Research, Development, and Engineering Center; the Program Executive Office Soldier; and each of the armed services will assess proposed improvements to the M4. The proposal for the industry-wide competition is currently before the Joint Requirements Oversight Council, and with the anticipated approval, solicitation for industry submissions could begin this fall. It is expected, however, that a selection for a follow-on weapon will not occur before FY2013, and that fielding of a new weapon would take an additional three to four years. This report will be updated as events warrant. Congressional Research Service The

  • 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.

Many and mingled feelings pervade his mind, and hope and fear vie with one another and alternately overcome one another, until at length the author finds some slight relief for his feelings and a kind of excuse for his book, by writing a preface, in which he states briefly the nature and character of the work, and begs the pardon of the reader for his presumption in undertaking it.

  • Federal Ammunition for Civil War Breechloading Carbines and Rifles
    Federal Ammunition for Civil War Breechloading Carbines and Rifles Dean S. Thomas According to the "Statement of ordnance and ordnance stores purchased by the Ordnance Department from January 1, 1861, to June 30, 1866," the United States Army procured more than 427,000 assorted breechloading carbines and rifles during this period.' Additional quantities were purchased from the manufacturers by various Northern states, volunteer regiments, and individual soldiers. In all, more than twenty different brands found their way onto regimental ordnance returns, and each, with rare exception, required their own peculiar form of ammunition. Captain James G. Benton of the Ordnance Department described these weapons in his book, Ordnance and Gunney: The term "breech-loading" applies to those arms in which the charge is inserted into the bore through an opening in the pered by gas leakage at the breech joint-or lack of obtura- breech; and, as far as loading is concerned, the ramrod is tion.

    National Park Service Manual of Instruction for the Safe Use of Reproduction Breech-Loading Carbine and Rifl e in Interpretive Demonstrations TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Part I: Introduction 1 Part II: Nomenclature 5 Part III: Inspection and Maintenance 7 Part IV: Drill 10 Part V: Misfi re Procedures 27 Part VI: Laboratory 29 Part VII: Demonstration Critique 31 4 PART I - INTRODUCTION This manual sets forth the procedures that must be followed by persons demonstrating single-shot breechloading carbines and rifl es to the public in areas administered by the National Park Service (NPS). It also provides instruction on proper maintenance, inspection, and repair procedures. This manual must be used in conjunction with the service wide standards for Historic Weapons Firing Demonstrations (NPS-6 Guidelines for Interpretation). The information below largely comes from primary sources of the period during which the weapons described were used. Several generations of NPS historic weapons personnel have modifi ed these original texts in order to improve demonstrator and visitor safety, make the original texts more comprehensible and to incorporate knowledge gained from years of actually using these weapons in the fi eld. The Park’s Certifi ed Historic Weapons Program Supervisor is responsible for the training and safety of the demonstrators, as well as the safety of the visitors. The following criteria will help determine when a demonstrator has been adequately trained. 1 THE SHARPS CARBINE This manual mainly deals with the use and care of reproduction Model 1859 and Model 1863 Sharps carbines, which were the predominant carbine used during the American Civil War and are by far the most popular reprodction cavalry arm used today.
