This field Manual states, "The purpose of this manual is to teach you how to fire your rifle correctly and how to take care of it, both in the field and in garrison. By mastering the material in this manual, you can help yourself to become a good rifleman and a better member of your team-the rifle squad. The rifle is the basic weapon of the United States Army. Although you use it to shoot at a bull's eye today, your target tomorrow may be the enemy. For that reason there is no part of shooting that is about right. In combat, you either HIT or you MISS, and your own life as well as the lives of other men of your unit may depend on your skill as a rifleman."
