    this rifle was used in WWII and in Korea.
    the gun has no safety switch.
    once the clip is inserted into the chamber it is ready to rock.

    dad had one that he bought.
    it was a blast to shoot.
    i remember hearing about M1 thumb.
    and it is true, you could easily smash a thumb.

    after the last shell has been fired the clip comes flying out and makes a pinging sound when hitting the ground.
    you could take a bucket filled with sand and dump it into the chamber and it would still fire.

    DVR set. With the Old Breed was an incredible read. I can't believe what these people had to go through. I hope this does it justice.

    Nothing but very positive reviews thus far.

    DVR set here too!

    Can't wait to see it!

    I'm a HUGE Band of Brothers fan, and if The Pacific is half as good as B.O.B, it's going to be great.

    The first episode was great!! The special effects are awesome and it has a great look to it. I think this has the potential to overtake Band of Brothers as the better WWII miniseries. Man, Sunday is so far away. The previews were unreal. :shock:

    Amazing episode tonight. This is going to be a great mini series. The beginning of this series is moving much faster than band of brothers. I can not wait until next week.

    Was that the same theme music as Band of Brothers? If not it was damn close!

    Doesn't the M1's history date back to WWI as well???

    EDIT: nevermind... got it... pretty good... the dialogue was pretty cheesy at first... a little better by the end... looking forward to the rest

    I've watched Band of Brothers at least 12 times all the way through, and am now reading the book by Stephen E Ambrose - the book is highly recommended (though, the show is very close to the book).

    Anyone read anything else by Ambrose? Are the two that The Pacific is based on decent reads? I can't afford HBO either, but I'll get my hands on The Pacific...

    Anything by Ambrose is a good read.

    lots of good torrents available for the pacific... thats what i ended up doing

    if youre new to torrents all ya need to do is download utorrent... then check out btjunkie.com

    and be sure to remove it once your done downloading... seeding is how they track ya down, sue ya, etc.
