The Military Channel had a story the other night about a soldier in Iraq who fired a .50 Ma Deuce on an APC until he was killed. The "re-enactment" used blanks!
The same channel had "Russian" soldiers wearing British uniforms and helmets and carrying SMLE's. Sure!
And we all know the Winchester 1892 and Colt 1873 were used in the Civil War and trapdoor Springfields in the Revolution.
It is not just guns. Public TV did a show about Appalachia (gagging to those of us from that region, they couldn't even pronounce it right) and one segment was about the effect of the depression. A shot of men standing on the sidewalk was described by the narrator as men thrown out of work by the depression - while a 1959 Edsel drove past. What phonys!
