Hey, Fenway! Where'd you stumble onto all these old classic firearm ads recently?

 

[gixer454]

What the fu-hell???? Why would they print that?

Top of barrel support was taught on the M-14 in full auto mode to avoid muzzle rise. Maybe someone in the ad department forgot the M-16 was full auto, and the AR-15 was semi auto only. I also like the 1958 Chicago Police hat and the cross draw holster with a revolver.

 

[gixer454]

I wonder what year that ad was made?

Sights . . . who needs 'em?

They have popped up on m4carbine in the off topic section

Because at the time of this ad many police officers were veterans and had experience with this position in bayonet training and riot control (remember at the time of this ad, circa 1960s, things were a little hot in some cities in the USA).

Why the ad men at the agency Colt hire chose this particular drawing, I cannot say.

Makes sense.

An older friend of mine when I hung out with him in the 80s let me shoot his M14 a few times, and he always told me to hold it that way. I found it really unnatural and impossible to hit anything with, unless you were merely going to suppress area targets.

It was then that I decided that an M14 was a nice rifle in semi mode, but I couldn't see spending that much on ammo to just spray and pray, so I decided to pass on spending the extra money on an M14, and just got an M1A instead.

The M14 is very controlable with the right hold.Where was the proper training?

Who knows? The guy I knew was in 'Nam mid-late 60's.

[Fordtough25]

I saw the "Gunny" shoot a full auto M16 on one his shows on the History channel once, he didn't do too bad!
