They Said His Fence-Post Carbine Would Never Work — Then It Took Out 9 Japanese Snipers in 48 Hours
November 1943, Bougainville Island: When Japanese snipers killed 11 Marines in 72 hours from positions standard weapons couldn't reach, PFC Samuel Keller spent three nights illegally modifying his M1 carbine with a hacksaw and a file. In 48 hours, he killed 9 enemy snipers at ranges up to 467 yards—shots that shouldn't have been possible. The Marine Corps threatened him with a firing squad, then buried the story for 40 years. His modifications would eventually save 3,000-5,000 American lives and become standard military doctrine—but Sam Keller died in 1994 never knowing his $0.75 innovation had changed warfare forever.
