Green Eyes and Black Rifles Warriors Guide to the Combat Carbine
By Kyle E. Lamb
The title of the book, Green Eyes and Black Rifles Warriors Guide to the Combat Carbine give s a great indication what this book is about. I was deployed in Iraq and armed with a 9mm pistol and was intrigued by soldiers carrying the M-4 carbine. I had the chance to fire a few times. I was impressed with all the new electronic sighting equipment on it and attachments. . I did not know what an ACOG (advanced combat optical gun sight), was or why it had the handle attached from the barrel. When I fired the M-4 it was easy putting steel on target. The M-4 is a lot easier to accurately shoot than the M-16A1. Today, M-4 has as much in common with the M-16 as the Humvee used in Desert Storm compared to today's armored Humvee used in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Reading the book, I realize I know subsequent to nothing about tactical shooting, or maintaining the M-4 weapon system properly. The book is only 214 pages in length but it well written worth reading. This book was born in combat to help soldiers survive in combat.
SGM Kyle Lamb really hits his mark when he shows the different scenarios and positions a soldier might have to take to engage the enemy. I did not realize how important a magazine for your weapon system and how to check for wear and serviceability. Lamb writes one of the biggest causes of jams is the magazine. He numbers and letters his magazines and checks them every time he fires. Lamb also reminds the reader that your life can depend on doing this
Lamb's book is very easy to read and understand. You will truly appreciate your M-4 carbine as a weapon system and fully learn how to use all the accessories that go with it. The reader will learn more about this weapon system than any army field manual. I highly recommend Green Eyes and Black Rifles Warriors Guide to the Combat Carbine by SGM Kyle E. Lamb
I have one regret I wished I was issued an M-4 carbine while in Iraq.

This book is a definite must have for the professional Soldier. It contains some outstanding information and knowledge gained usually from experience. A very well put together book on the M4, its accessories, and use.
