  1. I was stationed in West Berlin in 64-65, Infantry, C-4-18. We trained to control crowds. In a combat Zone, where the enemy can blend with the crowd, it can create the need for pine boxes and draped flags if you're not alert. Later, it became more evident in Viet Nam. However, we were armed with M-14 Rifles, 7.62 ammo, bayonets on rifles. Short step toward the crowd, with smoke grenades active. Never had to use it, but it can rapidly become necessary in cities. Combat in cities is difficult. But! We never had to use it there. We might have had the personnel working in the breweries working overtime, and three shifts though. Great duty, and great comraderie. After duty hours? Sorry, that is censored.

  2. Heck, all you had to do was ask me. A M-1 Garand Thumb hurts like heck. Thank God the M-14 came along. Still, as for accuracy, the M-1 could stand tall with any military weapon.

  4.  @Wind_slash0  That does not make it a Machine Gun. The most dangerous thing about any gun is an anti gun government, the majority of it's conspirators - I mean, uh, constituents -- who would sell their souls for what they THINK will be a Utopia of freebie handouts. Former machine gunner.
