      @@anton.chigrinetc.96 Wrong. It was the Americans who killed the initial (primarily British) move to make full-auto capable assault rifles NATO standard (only to hastily reverse themselves when they went up against AK-47s), and during WW2 were even more resistant to high rate of fire automatic weapons than the British were (their HMGs had about the same ROF, but they used the BAR in the LMG role while the British used the BREN). Furthermore, what is shown in the scene is not automatic fire but accurate rapid fire from a bolt action rifle (I'll call it accurate since ever near misses at sniper engagement range are no mean feat, and taking more deliberate shots would not suppress the sniper). Such fire was what the British were known for; their Army put a heavier emphasis on markmanship than others did, and it showed.

      @@maddocpax788 The US were complacent because we had the first practical Semi-Automatic rifle in the world as our golden standard. We didn't "reverse our stance the moment we saw an AK-47", and US had plenty of high rate of fire LMGs - namely the Johnson and the Browning M1919. Our SMGs had a lower rate of fire for the same reason the US made burst fire standard issue - to conserve ammo while accurately putting multiple rounds down range. The US has remained pretty consistent with it's philosophy that more rounds down range mean nothing if they don't hit. The biggest reason we pushed back against a full-auto battle rifle is BECAUSE OF our experience with the BAR. That's what the BAR was. It had a low mag capacity due to the bulk of the ammo, the weight was too much, and they couldn't increase rate of fire without making the gunner reload at inoportune timing. We reversed that position simultaneously when we switched from .30-06 to .223/5.56. I don't know if you've held an 8 round M1 Garand clip, but even without powder and lead, the brass and the steel clip weigh about a pound. For the weight of 16 rounds of M1 garand ammo, a soldier can carry 30 rounds of 5.56.

    What few people realise is that 'Saving Private Ryan, is based on a Ealing short film made in 1953 'Calling Private Wilson'. The script went as follows:
    [Field telephone rings in a dugout somewhere in Normandy 1944]
    Private Wilson "Hello, Hello?! You'll have to speak up Jerry's making quite a racket!"
    Captain Smithers "Is that 564213 Private Wilson?"
    Private Wilson "Yes sir!"
    Captain Smithers "Excellent! You might want to put down your cup of tea Wilson"
    Private Wilson "Alright sir, what's the bother?"
    Captain Smithers "Your three brothers, Archie, Ernest and Sid have all bought it old man"
    Private Wilson "Oh crikey sir, that's a bit of a blow if you don't mind me saying so sir"
    Captain Smithers "I thought you deserved to know Wilson, what with your mother being all alone and such"
    Private Wilson "Oh well sir, can't be helped, there is a war on you know"
    Captain Smithers "That's the spirit Wilson! Chin up!"
    Private Wilson "Very nice of you to call sir. Have to be going, looks like the Americans are going to bomb us again"
    Captain Smithers "Toodle-pip old chap!"

    For all the Americans, this seems to be implying that us Brits are incompetent. In fact it’s showing we have our priorities. Number one on that list is setting up a picnic table on the right flank. It’s a historical tactic and was most famously used in the Napoleonic wars - where in every battle there would be a picnic table on every right flank. In the gulf war, we most definitely had picnic tables on the right flank but times had advanced and we now had the MOD (your DOD) standard issued T3-A other wise known as the portable Multi Drink Boiling Kettle. So we could have a nice cup of tea and crumpets with our picnics. Hope I helped you none brits out there with the history of British tactics. One of the many reasons we lost the war of independence was because of lack of picnic tables.
