The Brits had something called the "mad minute" where they put as many rounds in a 100 yard target as possible in 60 secs. A trained infantryman could really put the lead out

Bolt action record: In 1914 Sergeant Instructor Snoxall put 38 hits onto a 12" target at 300 yards in 1 minute.

That was what I was thinking of, but couldn't recall his name.

He probably could have beaten Ermey in spite of the Garand.
