Best Movie Scene for Milsurp Fans

To start with, We fought World War ONE with NOTHING BUT low number Springfields!
As for York using a M1917, there is debate to this day about that. Certainly his unit was issued M1917's but his son said that York told him he used an 03 that he got somewhere. I doubt if that the truth will ever be known about that.
