This is a great you tube video

Some will recognize Ronald Lee Ermey who was Gunny in Full Metal Jacket

Good educational stuff for a newbie, but old news to us who have had a lot of shooting time in. In some ways, it's typical that it's all from a U.S. perspective and doesn't mention that priming compound, the first metallic cartridges, and self-contained munitions were European inventions. He doesn't out-and-out state that all the firearm innovations were American, but he leaves the uninitiated with that impression.

That was good and I never got the impression he was portraying the Americans as the leaders in round development. All he said was some rounds were adopted for U.S military use by the Gov't. Thanks for posting that. It was good.

Watched it and wasn't very impressed, Especially when they moved on to the .50, they didn't show the make up of the AP or AP incendiary bullets. I didn't know Gunny had a show either, I found it amusing when he kept referencing Full Metal Jacket
