chinese land tactics and training

he was very far off. he beilieved it could go 1000+. at 800m, the m-16 is effective, but by no means against armor, even weak armor.
he said chinese missles are cheap crap that always fail
he said the mauser was a copy of the spring field.

He got it backwards:


"Contrary to popular belief, the U.S. Springfield Rifle, Model 1903, (See 1903 Springfield) was NOT a product-improved Model 98 Mauser. The War Department had exhaustively studied and dissected several examples of the Mauser Model 93 rifle (See 93 Mauser, above) captured during the Spanish-American War, and combined features of both the U.S. Krag Rifle Models 1894-1898, and the Mauser Model 93, to produce the U.S. Springfield Rifle, Model 1903."

==================

As for his comment on the Chinese missiles:



I suppose one could argue the SA-2's are Russian and not Chinese.

well, he cant call the yj-83 and 85s bad because they are awsome and have better speed and range than a harpoon. the spring field is basically an improved krag with a mauser like stripper feed.

as for human wave, it is a western perception that the chinese and vietnames and japanese will resort to that tactic. the only time when it was actually used was with jap soldiers in ww2. the modern chinese and jap armies would never use such a wasteful tactic.

Who invented the human wave? the west. it was used by the persians, romans, british in the revelution, and more recently, the somme. that battle showed the immense down sides of such a tactic.

this i know. you see, when you holds a pistol or rifle, one of the things is your reaction time and how steady you holds it. well i've never been in the military and never....shot a rifle..before. but i think it's pretty useful. it's one of the commonest training PLA, which this pic is not. in PLA people normally use the canteen, filled with water, or...bricks. and that's the problem, since 95 rifles were issued to the troops, more 95 broke down because of this training.....wow.....

the pincer movement is the most classical tactic you have, a auxiliary force that hold on the ennemy main force and the heavy or main force attack by the 2 wing and envelloped the ennemy force

Why do those soldiers have canteens dangling from the tips of their rifles?

it might to reduce muzzle jump, or morel ikely, to make it harder to aim, for training.
