"This 1962 unclassified documentary short features footage of Captain W. W. McMillan's marksmanship skills, and his "Path to Olympic Gold Medal" at the 1960 Olympics. While depicting Marines caring for rifles and practicing marksmanship at large shooting ranges, the majority of the film focuses on an interview of McMillan, where he provides marksmanship instruction and demonstrates each step, focusing on fundamentals like grip, stance, stability, sighting alignment and trigger control for rapid fire shooting with pistols and revolvers. The film also features footage of McMillan at the Olympics and multiple creative "trick shots" by McMillan: teacups, poker chips, playing cards, upside down pistol shots and slight aligning with mirrors."
Description from University of South Carolina MIRC
This film is in the public domain and has been reuploaded here from the University of South Carolina website in the hopes of it reaching more people. Seriously this film is awesome and I can't believe I hadn't seen it until recently! - Zábava
Splitting the round on the ax was wild. I hated snapping in. Thanks for sharing. Raw
Thanks for dropping this for everyone. It's nice to see that there are others that can share the same interest to me and not be cringe like every other CZcamsr. I am new to your channel but i have been going through your uploads and man... It's such a relief to watch some entertainment that doesn't focus on politics, yet ebraces being a good ol American. You must be born around 1990 also because it seems ten years before are ten years later, they are on some other shit. What am i saying everyone's on some funky shit. Youd fit right in Missouri, i look Forward to future content whole I'm catching up on the past uploads. Take care man. Sean/Evo
Sure enjoyed that. Brings back a lot of fond memories. We had an Olympic shooter on our pistol team. Someone like that makes you want to excel, and we did. The rifle team had a two-time Olympic Gold Medal Champion on it.
wow crazy to see in black & white how far trigger saftey has come since 1962
@6:32 that close up of him firing the revolver is so steady it looks like he's resting his arm on a shelf.
dude was a machine!
Instant classic! :)
I remember snapping in. I shot SharpShooter with a Beretta M9. 2004
Would you consider making videos about beginner/first time firearm purchase, classes, shooting etiquette etc..
plan on it
but my shorthand advice is always a good to high quality 22 rifle and/or pistol, ie cz 457, mark iv. attend an appleseed or other 3 position class like CMP SAFS. practice practice practice
Very cool. I couldn’t tell…no ear protection?
probably, this was the 60s after all
Now we know where the gang bangers got that sideways hold on their pistols.
Thought that was a click bait thumbnail edit at first lol
11:02 Gangsters watched this part of the film and said "This is our standard"
how long does a video have to be to avoid the *shorts* category?
@ 1:23 the ammo box and cloud look like a mortar being fired. the flimakers did that on purpose
shorts are under 60 seconds
Marines did it first. Looks like the Captain invented the gangsta shot right at 11:01 😆
Thanks for sharing this! I have to forward this to a good friend of mine... He's a Marine and loves these things! I may be Army, and I loved to see this! Olympic Gold, and He went to the Soviet Union (Russia) and beat them at their own Pistol Matches! Rock ON and Semper Fi!!
