new favorite disney movie

Fantastic. I've seen it before, and it's great. Some random thoughts:

Usually, when it comes to '40s cartoons, I'm a Warner Brothers man. However, Disney did well with this one.

Rarely are hardcore technical info about firearms and family-friendly animated entertainment found in the same place.

My interest in modern .50BMG rifles (relatively low, no offense to .50BMG aficionados) is almost wholly dependent on their resemblance to crazy WWII anti-tank rifles (Boys, PTRS, etc.)

The phrase "Boys rifle" will connote to many a single-shot .22lr. To others it will denote something quite different, illustrated most excellently in these clips. I think many of the readers of this forum fall into the latter group.

British guns are weird. Magazine on the top, offset sights (a necessity due to the former), backwards pistol grip.

Pretty obsolete concept by mid-war (anti-tank rifles generally, not just the Boys), at least in respect to frontline tanks. But the idea of the anti-materiel rifle survives.

Okay, that's enough. Thanks for posting this! :)
 
That clip is on the "Disney Treasures" series dvd "Walt Disney, ON THE FRONT LINES, The War Years" The DVD is no longer in print, but can be had on ebay. I bought 2 copies when it went on sale back in 2004. One for viewing and the other for my "future" kids. They were also limited to 250,000 copies.
 
BOGIE GET 'FIREFOX' WEB BROWSER, AND 'VIDEO DOWNLOADER' ADDON, AND 'FLV PLAYER'

then when you open that page, in firefox, there's a little blue box in the right bottom corner you left click on. It gives you some options to save the file to the desktop, be sure to read what they say because sometimes you have to add .flv after the file to get it to work

Then get WINAVI VIDEO CONVERTER and convert the FLV or AVI files to VCD or DVD (if you have a CD burner make a VCD, if you have a DVD burner make a DVD, modern dvd players will play either). Then use WINAVI to burn the files to the disk.
 
Canadian Film Board

I remember seeing those films (Boys AT rifle) back home in BC Canada, we used to get old films like that in school of all places for Social Studies class when we studied Canada's contribution during WWII. I'm only 31 BTW, so that was during the late 80's early 90's that we saw those films.
 
Yea MD I'm 26 and seeing radical changes since I finished my time.

I think what's going on is that there's a demographic change and all the ordinary human beings that were teachers are retiring / have retired and are being replaced with socialist nanny-state drones churned out by a liberal indoctrination/education system.

You're not alone, you're not crazy, today is VASTLY different than a few years ago, big changes are happening fast.
 
OMG!

Un-be-freakin-lievable!

I mean . . . damn!

Let me know if anyone finds a disc source for that.

My lord.

Thank you, Walt, wherever you are.
 
To convert that to DVD would require some software windows may or may not have installed.

I've converted the three parts to a standard avi file which should play fine but would need converted to a specific DVD format then burned to a DVD. Some DVD players may play this avi if it's burned to a CD but I'm not certain of it.

Bah, it won't play on windows. I'll figure out which codec to use and then offer it again.

You may or may not have noticed, but in the major cities in Canada the socialist have run rampant, I'm from rural and for the most part we like our guns, all kinds of them...

I'm saying we would go out in the "back 40" and there'd be no one else for kilometres on end and we would have a great time shooting, not bugging anyone, not getting into trouble.. just doing our thing.

Then we'd be punished simply because a couple of idiots went postal and freaked out in the cities... :rolleyes:

I think they should have a separate designation for rural and urban ownership in Canada. Simply based on the fact that most people in rural areas aren't the ones freaking out and ruining it for everyone else...
 
Just did a search on GunBroker.com. There is a boys Anti-tank rifle claiming to be of WWII vintage, chambered in .50 BMG for $4500. If I were not a financially challenged resident...and I could talk my wife into it...
 
If any of you want to save videos off youtube, use keepvid.com. You should also get VLC media player, too. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ to play them back.

http://vixy.net/ You can also use that, it's probably the easiest way, and have it converted to avi, and then use whatever program you use to make DVDs to make a DVD. You can install the DVD making software on your computer, even if you only have a CD burner, you can make a VCD, and it should play back on 90% of DVD players.

Still, the best DVD players are the ones that play MPEG4, I can fit 24 episodes of my favorite anime Initial D on one DVDR, saves you lots of money, and lots of time. The one I have I got for Christmas, costs 40 dollars at Walmart, and it's good (except it doesnt play .ogm/.mkv, and doesnt support dual audio tracks.)
 
Yes, they still exist.:)

Many registered in the amnesty after the SSA of '68. Many were re-chambered to .50usmg to stay Title I weapons.

I believe I have seen this on the International Historical Films website which features many weapons training dvds. I posted the link back last December.
