Comments by "mpetersen6" (@mpetersen6) on "Colt Service Model Ace: Carbine Williams Makes a .22 1911" video.
When my brother was in the reserves he said they practiced tank main gun firing at the Army Reserve facility in Milwaukee. Indoor facility with a .22 mounted in the breech of an M60 turret.

@Alan.livingston I'm not talking about people exploiting the misfortune of others. I'm talking about the new homes that were built in the 30s. I'm sure the number was down. Just like auto sales were down. But Ford, GM, Chrysler, Nash and a few other independents continued to operate. GM and Nash also continued to earn a profit. I'm not saying times were not tough for a lot of people. But the idea that everybody was out of work is plain wrong. Both my Grandfather's had steady work during the 3Os. One was a Tool and Die Maker. The other was a Stationary Engineer. I also realize more real millionaires were made during the Depression than the 1920s. And that was people able to buy stocks and property cheap. And some of them were vultures

@cases2939 The duck hunt "gun" was actually a crude tv camera

Pre war the Cavalry was not allowed to have tanks. So they had (in a stern voice) "Combat Cars".

@Stevarooni Curiously though. People still were building houses, buying cars etc. Not everybody was broke.
