Discover the untold story of the “mail-order” rifle that silenced an entire battalion’s doubts on Guadalcanal. In January 1943, Second Lieutenant John George walked into headquarters carrying four days’ worth of numbers no one could ignore: eleven Japanese snipers killed with just twelve shots. The Winchester Model 70 he’d ordered like a civilian hunting rifle—mocked for weeks as slow, heavy, and outdated—had done what whole companies couldn’t. Under the dark jungle canopy, precision mattered more than firepower, and one patient marksman reshaped the fight at Point Cruz. Based on battlefield reports and George’s own accounts, this video reveals how a rifle the Army laughed at became the foundation of a new sniper program—and why skill, not steel, decided who survived in the Pacific.
