Mail Call

From Internet Movie Firearms Database - Guns in Movies, TV and Video Games

Mail Call is a television show on the history channel in which retired Gunnery Sergeant R. Lee Ermey answers letters and E-mails asking military questions from the past to today. Gunny answers these questions in interesting ways, usually showing us the information hands on and testing it for the show. This page covers the weapons he has tested through out the series.

I have the best of Seasons 1 and 2 and the SNAFU DVD which has select episodes, so this is not a complete analysis of the series. Please wait until I have finished my work on the page before adding more information. - Gunmaster45

M1 Garand

The M1 Garand rifle has made several appearances on the show including an episode in which an M7 rifle grenade is fired from it and an episode in which 101st paratrooper re-enactors are seen armed with them. In almost every episode, an M1 is seen on Gunny's jeep saddle.
