Sorry for forgetting Sgt. Basilone’s name. I was at a range a while back with my VEPR II, an AK variant, and accidentally touched the hot barrel. WOW !! Just imagine what it might have been like to hold a hot MG barrel.

“Just imagine what it might have been like to hold a hot MG barrel.”

I really can’t imagine the pain. Adrenalin probably helped for a short while but the screaming pain would have driven lesser men to give up. It took grim determination to hang on to that mg.

It took me 10 minutes of racking my brain to put his name to the event. So many names, so much history.
