Use of the Tank and AFV Browning machine gun - British Army training video, 1960

British Army training film from 1960 on the correct use of the 0.30 caliber Browning machine gun on AFVs as a coaxial weapon, mounted on the roof for the commander, and even dismounted from the tank for a ground role.
Footage includes Centurion tanks with both 20 pdr. and 105 mm, and the Saladin armoured car.

The is something precise and reassuring abt these English voices.

Clear fire control orders are vital.
In part this is why I have no interest in the "panic fest" that is GHPC.

[@donwalsh9426]

All these films were pertinent in the 70's and 80's, and I'm certain the principles are valid today, just like the ones on camouflage. There's some instructor in a turret now,yelling 'be bold, gunner, be bold!'

[@timhumphries6207]

Gosh that brings back memories,

[@whya2ndaccount]

Still applies today, whether its 0.303" or 7.62mm. Although some fire control orders are now abbreviated due to laser range finders, ballistic computers, etc.

@@stevengerda8536Ah thanks. I was guessing/assuming (always bad). I've used the 0.30 cal with 7.62 during my time, but thought that "back then" it was .303.
Thanks for the correction.

[@stevengerda8536]

British don't use .303 browning in their tanks, they use 7.62 (.308). The browning mk2 was mainly just used in their aircraft during ww2, it was chambered in .303 and fired in open bolt configuration. But since ww2 the British use Nato calibers.

@@stevengerda8536Yep, refer my earlier response.

Repent to Jesus Christ!
Are you a sinner?
Mark 2:17
King James Version
17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

No thanks. I don’t venerate Human sacrifice

[@Lawrence-Joseph-Norse]

@indigohammer5732 just remember when you die and wake up in hell, that it is because you rejected the Son of God and his finished work on the cross.

[@snowflakemelter1172]

@@Lawrence-Joseph-Norse a totally empty and laughable threat to an athiest.

[@Lawrence-Joseph-Norse]

@snowflakemelter1172 it's not a threat, I am telling you the truth. You are going there because you have sinned against God. You can go to heaven by the Lord Jesus Christ. I am not your enemy.
Why don't you try God? Tell him to prove himself to you.
