If you ever stand in the fox holes and skirmish/battle areas of the 101st outside Bastogne, Belgium (as we did recently, on a superb personal tour), you would probably understand.
"Reg Jaans" is somewhere on Youtube (also via Internet "Battlebus" links).
A few weeks ago watched a single tracer round from a Garand start a small fire in dry brush 300 yards away at the Evansville club range, and quickly extinguished.
That was c o o l, as I've never been anywhere near combat, except orbiting over the El Salvador woods in '82.
For me, if money were no object, I would drive to Anniston, AL to order one.
