I probably have posted this before, but it's always good for a repeat. This is the scene from The Wind and the Lion in which a reinforced rifle company of U.S. Marines storms the palace of the Bashaw. Great flick.

The Marines and Sailors are carrying Krag-Jorgenson Rifles, while the Navy machine gun teams have the Colt 1895 Browning machine gun, the "potato digger." Lee-Navy rifles also could have been possibly used at the time, though I don't see any.
ReplyDeleteA nice touch of historical accuracy.

I regret that, Ron. Perhaps it is available from some other source.
