1. As I stated in my previous post, the Knob Creek shoot was only intended to give a rough idea of a Vietnam War tank company mad minute, not to "prove" anything. Have you always had such poor English comprehension?
2. I've never heard of WWI or WWII instances of shooting up large quantities of ammo just to prevent too much ammo from accumulating. If there was a supply problem, it was more often too little ammo on hand, rather than too much.
3. You're the only person trying to make a debate on this matter.
4. The discussion was originally about the US use of "mad minute" firing, not the historical origin of the term.
5. The Russians are not my mates.
