Gettysburg, the four hour version.

Got it on dvd, hard to believe a douche bag like Ted Turner would produce a film like this.

The quest to make money probably pushed the idea along, I hear his wife at the time was not very popular on the set.

No one talks much about the Female sniper named Lydia. Over what 4 500 CONFIRMED kills. She used a PU I saw a propaganda pic with her holding a SVT38 or 40 sniper. Vertical stringing can;'t hold a zero blah blah she went back to the PU. Vassli went on to open sniper schools and his student have claimed more than 6000 kills. He died in 80 something in a car wreck his Izhevsk PU is in the Leningrad museum.
On an aside I saw my mentor use a '43 TULA PU ("Why mess up a perfectly good 700?") this was in the 80s and he was D E A D L Y out to 600 yard with that PU 3.5 4X scope. He made his own rounds out of 147 7.62 NATO "Aim small miss small" The POA was 8 inches wide and POI was center mass 2 buttons down 1 in left almost every time.
Say what you want in the hands of a sniper the PU is one of the most indestructible drag in the mud pee in the barrel and hit something ever made

Hello, is this the Russian Women Sniper named Lydia ?

Gentlemen, one last input regarding War movies, I want to share this with you all a True Story;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8EkmyoG83Q

Lets pray for peace but, we Damn well be Ready for War !

[etprescottazusa91]

Also Zulu, Zulu Dawn, Paths of Glory, All Quiet on the Western Front and Gallipoli: add to list

I just watched both Zulu Dawn and Gallipoli the other day. After seeing Zulu Dawn I wanted a Martini Henry and knew why the British 30 years later practiced drills like the mad minute. Gallipoli was simply a tragedy.

im to lazy to read the other 3 pages so im going to ask. How would they be using PU snaipers in Stalingrad? It was in 1942 and they showed vasilli using one as early as the beginning of the movie. PU were only made after 43 though weren't they?

Ted turner also ponied up the entire budget for Gods and Generals. I got to see some of the filming of it, some of the film was shot just a few miles down the road from me and some a little further away at Virginia Military Institute. The office machines, fax machines, copiers and such used during the filming near me and the filming at VMI were supplied by the office supply shop my father runs.

Watched Enemy at the Gates on Netflix last nite. Haden't seen it since I became infected with "mosinitis".

Wasn't expecting anything to be accurate re: what rifles were available when. I was just expecting to see lots of Russian soldiers and tons of MNs.

However, the MN used in the scene of Vasili as a kid with his grandfather really stood out. Did I see correctly? That was an ex-sniper right?

Cheers !!
