  1. Yes.
    4800
  2. It's called playing the long game. ;)
    4300
  3. Yup.
    2800
  4. Yeah, really unfair how the Irish soldiers were treated after they got home.
    2400
  5. I distracted the guards with Finnish mustard herring.
    2100
  6. Sneaky of me, eh? :)
    2100
  7. It's a slip of the tongue; don't read anything into it. How many times did I just say "Ukraine"?
    2000
  8. Garand did not get any royalties, because he did not own any patents. All his work was done as an employee of Springfield Arsenal, and so all intellectual property relating to his work on the rifle was owned by the US government.
    2000
  9. Mmm...dessert....
    1900
  10. Yes, Charlie has actually don exactly that to use with firefighting crews. The high pressure makes it good for use on smoldering stumps, apparently. I have also heard stories about large paintball games... ;)
    1900
  11. Frigate if concealed, light cruiser if open.
    1800
  12. "Now, we will discuss the evolution of the Berthier. And if you don't pay proper attention, the Bergmann...."
    1800
  13. Sorry, should have specified anyone in America.
    1800
  14. "Imagine rocking up to a firefight and instead of pulling it out your holster normally, you just pull your trousers down because your belt was a bit loose" - This sounds like a good analogy for the Russian attempted assault on Kiev...
    1700
  15. I delete them all.
    1700
  16. Because it's no longer owned by someone who will readily rent it out to game designers to model.
    1700
  17. I filmed one, just haven't posted it yet. There's a whole bunch of awesome Polish content coming :)
    1600
  18. Because my video came out after the guns had already been modeled. :)
    1500
  19. I just didn't have enough time to do everything there.
    1500
  20. Don't have medical gear or training? Code "IAN" gets you 10% off med kits and training classes: https://www.refugemedical.com
    1500
  21. Who names their guns after the Home Depot drill bit aisle?
    1400
  22. It was the ricocheting fragments that destroyed the stand and allowed the plate to fall, not the initial impact.
    1300
  23. Very much so. In addition, the .50 BMG cartridge was developed form the 13.2mm TuF, using a bunch of captured T-Gewehrs.
    1300
  24. +method2madness Those became obsolete with the extinction of centaurs.
    1200
  25. Money allows me to travel, but does not help me get access to collections. That comes from years of building a reputation and networking.
    1200
  26. +Marcus Payne I like to live on the edge.
    1200
  27. Yes, after the designations started at 1. There were carbine models of the Trapdoor Springfield and Krag.
    1200
  28. There's a sash that indicates Lordhood, but I don't normally wear it.
    1200
  29. As Americans, anything we take is by definition liberated. :)
    1100
  30. It's so fast you don't notice it.
    1100
  31. I always use the flag from the time and place where a gun originated - so I use the old flag for pre-1994 guns and the current one for post-94 designs. In many cases (Italy, Spain, Germany, South Africa, etc) it means using a flag that does not reflect the current government, and I'm sorry that you find it uncomfortable.
    1100
  32. +Z-Key Wow...
    1100
  33. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/category/forgotten-weapons-merchandise/2852 Yeah, it's actually real.
    1100
  34. If you mean the hand cranked type, I left them out because they really weren't the same as machine guns. They were treated like artillery for the most part. If you mean modern electrically powered multi-barrel guns, they are all aircraft machine guns, as that's the role where the rate of fire makes practical sense. When deployed on ground vehicles, they are simply repurposed aircraft machine guns. :)
    1100
  35. +BvousBrainSystems Psych! It wasn't filmed in Arizona.
    1000
  36. If I had an M&P 15, I would also want to forward assist on it.
    1000
  37. Only like 3 times every day.
    1000
  38. Very cool, thanks for the first-hand account! :)
    1000
  39. It wanted a raise, so it's gone.
    1000
  40. What optics are typically used on them?
    1000
  41. It's even less available, so that is surely a point in its favor...
    1000
  42. Thanks!
    1000
  43. Yep, exactly. FWIW, Gatling himself was experimenting with electrically-driven guns in the 1890s. They were meant for naval use, since ship engines could easily provide reliable electric power.
    1000
  44. Can you imagine how frustrating it would be to work at HK USA and know that you could just print money with an SP7 but for the arbitrary decision of someone in Oberndorf who doesn't think civilians ought to be able to buy them?
    1000
  45. Sorry about the mono audio - my mistake in editing. I uploaded a fixed version, but YouTube immediately restricted it, because YouTube? So that's available on Patreon, Utreon, and Floatplane, but not here.
    993
  46. On the plus side, they loan me a company car when I'm in town filming. On the minus side, they don't give me any discount on the buyer's premium.
    981
  47. That is true, but the chances diminish significantly when you start talking about video games.
    964
  48. Doesn’t it though?
    960
  49. That's called retro-futurism.
    947
  50. Yeah, probably not.
    920
  51. It's considered legally simply a "firearm".
    920
  52. My definitions are for normal humans, not uber-badasses. :)
    920
  53. It was, in fact, filmed in a living room of a Norwegian cabin. 😂
    919
  54. This one's probably worth more because it is inscribed to a specific officer.
    915
  55. iknowmy3table http://i.giphy.com/l0O9xPWfaccWTBas8.gif
    899
  56. Sadly, no. Sorry.
    886
  57. Yes - I had not thought about that before.
    877
  58. It really, actually is.
    858
  59. Yup, it is of course denser than steel. I should have phrased that better.
    856
  60. Lol - even now so many years later the five paragraph essay format is burned into my brain from high school.
    846
  61. When it jams, the forward assist allows you to make the jam worse.
    821
  62. mickeybill Yes, he is.
    810
  63. I know; I'm in the credits at the end of BF1. ;)
    807
  64. Is it still "landing" if they end up in the water?
    800
  65. No, not a coincidence - but also not a collaboration, really. He teased the topic on Instagram a couple days ago, so I filmed this to give more background on what would likely be mostly just a shooting video. As I said in the intro, I figured his video would leave a lot of people curious to learn more.
    797
  66. Yeah, you are correct, and I'm rather annoyed that I didn't realize that while filming.
    781
  67. No, only fully fully automatic. Although it does have a selector switch for semi fully automatic.
    774
  68. Thanks! They were a really cool bunch of people to work with.
    754
  69. It's modeled on the VG1-5, aka Volksturmgewehr Gustloff.
    738
  70. I will definitely include factory-made Molotovs in my Finnish book :)
    699
  71. +Gorn Captain No, it's not fancy at all.
    678
  72. Jake Raupp If that were true, they wouldn't make normal-looking holes in paper targets - which they do. It's an urban legend.
    673
  73. I may steal this for the author bio section of my book. :)
    662
  74. Patrik Howgate No, this will clobber your thumb too if you push the follower down without holding onto the bolt handle.
    661
  75. +Pål “Pallin20” Lindsetmo Because those people would not typically have been issued a rifle or pistol.
    659
  76. I used your mom's camera.
    658
  77. Just part of my plan for world domination. Glad it's working!
    647
  78. Whoops, did I say that? 🤐
    647
  79. It's not sad, it is a victory trophy. I keep some ban-era AR mags marked "For government and law enforcement use only" as trophies as well.
    631
  80. They don't; they just have a giant pile of money to stand on.
    627
  81. +Yi Ge Peng YES!!!
    623
  82. Machine guns typically go up to about .50 or .60, and cannons begin at 20mm (~.80 caliber).
    617
  83. Good thing nobody forces you to watch!
    614
  84. It is so tedious listening to them beg for death while I'm still trying to explain everything...
    613
  85. I remember that. :D My wife was like, "Really? People in Rome recognize you now?"
    609
  86. I would really enjoy doing that...
    608
  87. In a brilliant bit of pre-war planning, Finnish engineers pre-located standard issue trees in all areas that might have fighting,.
    593
  88. They should.
    587
  89. You are a couple weeks late with that joke.
    586
  90. The person who built the guns does not wish to be identified, and that is why I'm not providing any information on how I happened to get my hands on them.
    585
  91. YOU SEE NOTHING!
    579
  92. Merwin & Hulbert solid frame DA in .44-40.
    579
  93. My two loadings from Gorilla (285gr Fracturing and 300gr FMJ) will not seat fully in a .308 chamber. Haven't tried any others.
    576
  94. Yes. It's never "no, we don't like you go away", but rather something like not having the right paperwork in order or simply not being able to find the right person to get access while I'm planning a trip. My biggest disappointment in that regard was being unable to film at the Museum of the Revolution in Havana, because I only had one day there and the US no longer allows Americans to easily visit the country. I spent. bunch of time trying to communicate with the museum before my trip, but never could get a reply from anyone.
    572
  95. Am I not already?
    571
  96. John Ratko The plot thickens...
    567
  97. Shocking, right?
    555
  98. There are only three of these left in existence, so it would be medium rare.
    555
  99. That video is coming soon...
    553
  100. I don't recall seeing a working hand-made prototype of that yet...
    549
  101. Lol, whoops. :)
    540
  102. The Pacific did a really good job with technical details.
    530
  103. So true.
    526
  104. +craigtheng Something like that. :)
    525
  105. The M60 is, at its core, an FG42 action with an MG42 feed system.
    524
  106. No, I think they were lying to me...😆
    522
  107. YouTube's new thing apparently is randomly shutting off comments. I have turned them back on for this video four (edit: now 5) (edit again: now 6) (edit again: now 7) (edit: now 8) (edit: now 9) times (seriously) in the 15 minutes it has been live.
    505
  108. @meal team 6 - this is a really terrible urban myth. Tampons are absolutely not a substitute for actual trauma gear.
    499
  109. Thanks!
    494
  110. It is a drawer of happy treasures. ;)
    494
  111. Fixed. :) https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/jama-kilt/64426
    487
  112. No, but it would make the person very angry.
    485
  113. The Great War Glad to help!
    482
  114. It's not jamming, it running out of ammo. Happens quick on full auto!
    476
  115. I look forward to having more of a two-way conversation, but it's ready hard to do via Skype.
    475
  116. Youtube wants to become TikTok. They want the most banal, mind-numbing material possible, because it gets people hooked to robotically scroll through flashy shorts. Creators who do that the best are the ones promoted and glorified by the platform.
    459
  117. I filmed this just a few weeks ago, using my regular camera. It's just the lighting and vintage backdrop that makes it look older. :)
    455
  118. That is literally the situation.
    449
  119. I would not shoot this one.
    448
  120. And lo, thou didst use thine holy Search Bar and unto thee was delivered the Halloween 2015 Shotgun Match.
    443
  121. +meat_rub_247 WHAT?
    438
  122. An actor, I ain't. :)
    434
  123. If it prevents anyone else from doing the same, then it is worth it.
    430
  124. Ssshhh, don't tell the museum.
    428
  125. Yeah, I goofed! I didn't even think about the P90 predating the F2000. Still, I think an argument could be maintained that the P90 is specifically built to replicate rifle handling, even if it was a specific rifle FN once had though about conceptually at the time. Or alternatively, one can make a good argument for the P90 being Gen 2, with a simple blowback mechanism and economical polymer shell manufacturing.
    425
  126. This press conference is over.
    422
  127. Yes, I do occasionally.
    421
  128. Then you're screwed.
    419
  129. Very close to 5.56.
    419
  130. Not even close. :)
    417
  131. When we are ready to launch the book, I will have a series of just that sort of video. :)
    411
  132. Mike Phelps All I need is his salary! :)
    410
  133. I can stop any time I want!
    410
  134. Not that I have ever seen, no.
    410
  135. It's a fun story that I am not at liberty to share.
    408
  136. Longer mags potentially interfered with prone shooting. There were 40-rounders made experimentally for antiaircraft use, but nothing like that was put into production.
    406
  137. It would go "boink" and the Abrams crew might or might not notice.
    400
  138. ville307 It uses an early type of magazine - basically a block of 25 chambers that drop in behind the barrels when the action is open. The gun crew has several, and while one is being used the others can be emptied and reloaded.
    392
  139. The two D's are for a "double-dose of pimpin".
    391
  140. But are you sure? Perhaps a bit more adjustment...
    384
  141. Yes, I had to translate that from the German manual.
    381
  142. +Nikolaj Hansen Possibly, yeah.
    379
  143. Yes, I know.
    379
  144. Nothing says education can't be occasionally profane.
    379
  145. Honestly, I was surprised at the price; I expected it to be higher.
    378
  146. These are all live.
    378
  147. I am shocked - shocked! - that a gun in BF1 would be portrayed in an unrealistic manner...
    372
  148. Thanks to Broad River Tactical for the upper to film! https://www.broadrivertactical.com
    369
  149. No, I don't think it would. Just too far outside US norms.
    369
  150. Yes. There are exceptions to everything.
    367
  151. I speak third best Polish.
    361
  152. August 28.
    360
  153. shalafi4 What is your company called? I would be interested in seeing what you make...
    360
  154. No.
    359
  155. Edit: Utreon is back up now :)
    356
  156. Yes.
    356
  157. +UARAF16 You would certainly think so...
    356
  158. This is totally how I should have titled the video...
    356
  159. Will nobody ever notice my blink codes in the videos and come save me?
    355
  160. Mortars are light weapons or heavy weapons, depending on caliber. The cutoff is typically around 120mm, but subject to debate.
    355
  161. @Skenderbeuismyhero PSA should just market their QC reject Spikers as Albanian ASh-78 clones.
    354
  162. Sure, but it wasn't adopted, and it was decades after the first such guns that were also not adopted.
    354
  163. Where do you think the game designers did their research?
    343
  164. Thanks!
    337
  165. I don't know.
    335
  166. +Carlos B Yes.
    335
  167. Ack! That is indeed a footage mixup; it's a Walther copy.
    334
  168. skmongol Wow, that is a lot of myths packed into one comment. The AR-15 was initially designed as a combat rifle (scaled down from the AR-10), they will run for far more than 200 rounds just fine, the milspec guns are of fine quality (until they are decades old and worn out), and GI mags hold 30 rounds fine (again, until they are old and worn out).
    333
  169. 1873.
    333
  170. Nope - and that's the best part. :)
    329
  171. Yep, already filmed.
    329
  172. It was really a test of how well Hi-Point zeroes their sights at the factory...
    326
  173. Yes.
    326
  174. Yep.
    326
  175. Not if I had access to anything semiauto.
    324
  176. I would love to get my hands on a J8 for this one...
    324
  177. The MP44 is really not any lighter or more compact than the FG42, and the FG does such a good job mitigating recoil that I would be hard pressed to find a scenario where I would rather have the MP44. My choice would be the FG42 almost every time, I think.
    323
  178. It has a luminous front sight.
    320
  179. That's the armrest of my chair.
    319
  180. Unfortunately, I will not be able to fire this one. I don't have regular access to it, and it's just too rare and valuable for the owner to be willing to risk damaging it.
    318
  181. Water cooled guns do not have cookoffs unless the water has been completely expended.
    317
  182. It is a violent gun, but not painful. I rather enjoy it...
    316
  183. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8rq-wJyHhY
    315
  184. +Mortimer Fujikawa Just a buzzword.
    314
  185. REMOVE MUGABE I have no idea how it got here. Wish I did!
    313
  186. It's a disguise.
    311
  187. Yes.
    310
  188. Yes.
    309
  189. I would be very interested in knowing more about these - can you email me at admin@forgottenweapons.com?
    308
  190. If they did, I would most likely have signed an NDA.
    307
  191. The Luger is well sealed up, but it's not a good day once something does get in.
    307
  192. Pretty much!
    306
  193. I put a cot in the NFA vault. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
    302
  194. +Liam B You must not have watched very many then.
    302
  195. In fact, Lewis and Clark used this specific model of airgun.
    299
  196. That was Jan, Polenar Tactical's cameraman.
    298
  197. My shoulder says no.
    297
  198. The MP41 is actually not an MP40 in a wood stock, although it looks like that. I have an MP41 video coming later this month.
    296
  199. That is the next one in this series. :)
    296
  200. It's not a shotgun.
    295
  201. Actually, during WWI the Ross was found to be more accurate than the SMLE by many marksman. Not as reliable in the mud, but a better choice if you could keep your weapon clean.
    294
  202. Thanks!
    294
  203. By every measure I have found, the L85A1 makes the FAMAS look like god's gift to the infantry.
    293
  204. I think training would have made them more combat effective, but I doubt it would have changed the incidence of catastrophic failures.
    292
  205. Sorry to be the bearer of crummy news! Wilson did contribute a ton to the collecting community, but his later behavior spoiled it.
    291
  206. Yeah, I know...but I had it sitting around for a while with the bolt put together wrong, and I didn't want anyone to shoot it in that state.
    291
  207. +Aramiro Weird, huh?
    290
  208. Well, the production gun I disassembled is unfired. The one we were shooting has a stock made of much sturdier material.
    290
  209. It was the only box magazine in general use by the US military at the time.
    290
  210. I did; had a wonderful time and I look forward to returning. Thanks!
    289
  211. It's quite securely locked in place, just not with a latch like we would expect to see today.
    287
  212. Full auto footage gets age restricted now, which means nobody sees it. I legitimately might as well not bother posting it, because you won't find it, monetized or not. The enforcement isn't really good yet, but YouTube is slowly but surely going through all old content and age-restricting anything with full auto, including stuff posted when that wasn't against any of the rules. I want to have a viable platform available when Youtube finally puts the last nail in gun content, and that requires building it now, not waiting. HOWW for the time being is paying more to our other 7 creators than YouTube, but it's in the red for me to support. So yeah, I want to build it up while balancing peoples' expectations of 4 free videos per week.
    284
  213. I will do better next time!
    284
  214. Yup.
    283
  215. Good!
    281
  216. Yep, I did. Whoops!
    280
  217. Original.
    276
  218. I can stop any time I want to!
    276
  219. +char whick It's true.
    276
  220. Because there aren't any trenches in BF1.
    276
  221. +Michael W. No, the Russians issued the SVT with 3 mags total - or at least they did when they had enough to do so. I have an SVT magazine pouch, FWIW.
    275
  222. Thanks!
    274
  223. They are good guns, but pretty scarce today. Most of them were overhauled by Belgium in the 30s. Here's a video on an original: https://youtu.be/w2T91StdP0s
    273
  224. The M14 has a somewhat different gas system.
    270
  225. Yes, it's legit.
    270
  226. We aren't allowing spectators for safety reasons, but there will be lots of video coming from the event. :)
    269
  227. Triggers are not normally quite as customizable as you might think. That said, there is a better trigger package offered by FN.
    269
  228. I make sure not to look at estimated values until I'm done filming. :)
    269
  229. Well, this morning's routine did include ring dips... :)
    268
  230. I have videos this week on all 4 rifles in the lot.
    268
  231. Did I say sticker? Sorry! I meant tactical self-adhesive identification token.
    267
  232. He teased the topic on Instagram a couple days ago, so I filmed this to post at the same time. I figured it would be a good piece to give more background to what was likely going to be mostly a shooting video.
    267
  233. One word: money. Because of the skill and time required to make them, Lorenzonis were very expensive guns. This is the same reason armies were never equipped with wheel locks, despite them being superior to the flintlocks available at the same time.
    265
  234. Zdem0Z Complexity and cost were certainly factors, as was convincing military officers to adopt radically new technology.
    264
  235. youtoob4life Victory.
    263
  236. They were able to sneak out through the German containment lines and survived.
    261
  237. The US rejection of the Lewis was in large part due to political issues and friction between Col. Lewis and the Ordnance Dept. Unfortunately, the government doesn't do weapons procurement any better than it does anything else.
    260
  238. @Andrew Espinoza In the early 80s he took a couple of buckshot pellets in the throat during an operation, and it impacted his vocal cords.
    260
  239. +bdwilcox The easily-offended will take offense at this regardless of their personal beliefs, but the folks with a sense of perspective and humor will enjoy it. I had a good-natured fun time, and that's all that I am concerned with.
    260
  240. "Look good doing it" has always been the first rule, probably dating back to Pharaohs... :)
    260
  241. I have videos on those configurations coming...
    257
  242. No, on a vegetable slicer when I wasn't paying sufficient attention.
    256
  243. It is surprising and counter-intuitive, but in my experience companies don't actually do any real hand selecting or careful tuning of guns they send out for this sort of review. I've had a lot of T&E guns arriving with obvious problems. For instance, Zastava sent me an M90 AK with a bent rear sight that clearly got clobbered on something (you can see it in the video). InterOrdnance sent me some rifles that were truly typical of their Ethiopian stuff, like a Carcano carbine that was really bad. And then just look at how often MAC gets stuff with massive problems...
    256
  244. Through the magic of paradoxes, that's how.
    255
  245. Alas, this was my last video from there...
    254
  246. The people who shoot 2-Gun are a really great group, friendly and very supportive.
    254
  247. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_of_War
    253
  248. Cobray made those.
    253
  249. ***** Yes, you're correct.
    251
  250. There is also at least one in the US...
    250
  251. Daniel Taylor Simpson Ltd has more or them. LOTS more... https://youtu.be/kbdk0K35h0w?t=317
    249
  252. Think "pretty nice new car", or "nice registered machine gun"
    249
  253. Amen.
    249
  254. It puts a bit more backpressure into the action.
    246
  255. I would love to do that, but I have never been able to get him to talk to me. :(
    246
  256. And they all learned the hidden mistake I incorporated into the video. ;)
    245
  257. airwick4u Thanks!
    244
  258. I am specifically reminded of the rifle Geronimo surrendered the final time he was captured. The grandchildren of the owner used it to play cowboys & Indians for years before it was donated to the Arizona Historical Society.
    242
  259. And you don't know what you are talking about, apparently.
    239
  260. We have gotten more rain this summer than any year since 1920.
    238
  261. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_of_War
    238
  262. Sadly, no.
    238
  263. It's filmed and coming. L96, L115, and L118.
    238
  264. Yes, it's expensive. But actually pretty reasonable, considering the R&D expense and the time that goes into making each gun from scratch.
    238
  265. +Ahri Man Not quite, because the powder all burns basically instantaneously, not over a long period like rocket fuel.
    238
  266. It adds back pressure to the action, which makes the bolt travel slightly faster once unlocked.
    237
  267. Yup.
    236
  268. It's a machine shop...those use lube.
    236
  269. Crud, you're right. Sorry!
    236
  270. What, doesn't your grandmother also have a collection of suppressed OSS machine guns?
    235
  271. Yeah, I realized that right after it came out of my mouth.
    235
  272. I will be at CZ in a few weeks, and it's definitely in the plans to film. :)
    235
  273. Glad you enjoyed it!
    234
  274. Yes.
    234
  275. You can use a 5-round clip in a 3-round magazine as long as you only load 3 rounds in it. The bottom of the clip will stick out the bottom of the magazine, but it will work.
    232
  276. +Leanardoe You send me the pinfire ammo and I will find another one to fire.
    231
  277. +The Bellman A lot more than that, actually...
    231
  278. Hopefully some day...
    230
  279. When you shoot one of these, you really do gain an appreciation for the idea that nobody should be on the receiving end of it, even a wartime enemy.
    230
  280. Good question - I didn't think about that...
    230
  281. Eventually, yes.
    229
  282. Military issue.
    228
  283. @GA-br8wj Maybe if I stop banning the porn bots they will assume it's not for children?
    228
  284. Thanks - he preferred to remain anonymous.
    227
  285. +Leopoldstal 783 I don't think most people wear a belt buckle there.
    227
  286. Never seen the insides of a G11, have you? It's way, way more complex than this.
    226
  287. The Russian 12.7x108 and the US .50 BMG (12.7x99) actually have very similar ballistics, with a slight edge actually going to the US cartridge. Not enough to make any practical difference though. Perhaps you're thinking of the Russian 14.5mm antitank round?
    226
  288. +beanhead159 Yes.
    225
  289. This is why we can't have nice things.
    224
  290. Thanks!
    224
  291. +Friendly Fire Gaming It came pre-disassembled. :)
    223
  292. Hopefully, yes.
    223
  293. It actually made the sound.
    223
  294. No, they were basically not used at all in WWI.
    223
  295. It's like they looked at the MG08/15 and thought, Yes! We need more of that! :)
    223
  296. They have never gone away; always been a few bouncing around in the background. BHP, HK VP-70, etc
    222
  297. I have a similar video on my 1918 Chauchat, which will never air because I did win it. :)
    222
  298. One star; will not go again
    221
  299. Reposted to the Facebook page. :)
    221
  300. General Machine-Purpose Gun, I suppose?
    219
  301. Au contraire...
    218
  302. Yes.
    217
  303. I suspect Malaysia, but don't have any hard evidence.
    217
  304. Rock Island Auction Company I do have a video coming shortly on the Mauser 1918 Tank Gewehr - it's almost artillery. :)
    216
  305. When the designer is ready to announce something.
    215
  306. Karl has lots of practice shooting SMGs, and is quite good at it.
    215
  307. +LuukvdHoogen There is no practical way to collect fired projectiles in the open. They are just left where they come to rest.
    215
  308. +Chez Burgar no urrong
    212
  309. I think the biggest factor here was really that I had been practicing on the spinner for a while and that P365 run was at the end. I was nicely tuned in and focused.
    211
  310. The names of the three co-founders of the manufacturing company - Larisch, Augat and Robinson.
    211
  311. Thanks for sharing that! I would really like to have a chance to do some shooting with a MAT-49...
    210
  312. ***** German paratroops used a parachute with a single point harness, so trying to shoot while descending would be pretty impractical.
    210
  313. +Marcus Linden Nope. :)
    209
  314. Yup, collet is the proper term. I couldn’t think of it at the time.
    209
  315. Yeah, it's the worst gun I've ever owned. And no, I didn't do a video on the Jennings, and probably won't in the future.
    208
  316. I'd be happy to fire it when you send me some ammo for it.
    208
  317. My job here is done. :)
    208
  318. Sorry, but that's not true.
    208
  319. THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO WIN! https://go.getenteredtowin.com/forgottenweapons DEADLINE to ENTER is TONIGHT 06/30/23 @ 11:59pm (PST).
    208
  320. They are often not mine to shoot.
    207
  321. My goof, sorry - didn’t catch that in editing
    206
  322. Yes indeed, the Degtyarev is a much better gun than the LS26.
    205
  323. You no send me 8x18mm Bergmann ammos!!!!!!
    204
  324. I made sure nobody was going to come in the back door of the room when I was doing first-person bits. :)
    204
  325. Absolutely.
    203
  326. Glad you understand, and appreciate the videos!
    203
  327. Yes :)
    203
  328. +Glendalina Ziemba The Japanese bought Hotchkiss guns, and over time adapted the design to domestic production. Check out my video on the Type 92 Heavy MG for an example.
    202
  329. He was right.
    202
  330. That is correct.
    201
  331. It's all mine.
    201
  332. Bwahahaha! My evil plans are working! :)
    200
  333. That is the popular image...but on the other hand, how many folks here could actually make one of these in there garage? A few, certainly, but not many.
    199
  334. Yeah, it's hard to really impress steel targets.
    198
  335. I'm sorry that your sense of humor is broken.
    198
  336. I accidentally published the one without the shooting footage and didn't realize it until just now. Oops!

    196
  340. https://forgottenweapons.vhx.tv/videos/cuban-fal The full version of this video, including the fully automatic fire not permitted on YouTube, is available on History of Weapons & War here.
    196
  341. Just a patent.
    194
  342. "Battle rifle" is a term that was invented on the internet simply to have a specific cool sounding name for 7.62x51mm rifles.
    194
  343. The Swiss did some of that, but the design doesn't really lend itself to simplification. Better to just replace it outright with something cheap, like everyone eventually did.
    194
  344. I made a point not to watch your review until after I filmed mine, and was happily surprised by the similarity. :)
    192
  345. When I find one, I will.
    192
  346. +Patrick Takada I have no objection to doing that, and I have on a few occasions. Right now, though, I have more weird guns ready for video than I have time to run the videos! Good problem to have. :)
    192
  347. I hope so! The Valkyries will weep if his guns are all stuffed away in safes.
    191
  348. Pretty much on par with current Ukrainian fpv drone designs per capita
    191
  349. Sort of - the guards actually have a slightly different model specifically for ceremonial duties. I need to do a video on it...
    191
  350. +mds s Not for a long time, for sure.
    191
  351. I am planning to do a deep series on the MCX, but it is several months away.
    189
  352. Bob, Henderson Field has been actively developed for a long time. It is now Honiara International Airport, and it is the main airport serving the whole island and the capital of the Solomons.
    188
  353. Haha - yes, I take them with me whenever I film.
    188
  354. That seems like it would be more appropriate comment in 2020.
    188
  355. Could've happened in 1904/05...
    188
  356. Yes, the arshin was the Russian pre-revolution unit of measure. 1 Arshin equal 28 inches.
    187
  357. They disabled the ejectors to prolong case life.
    186
  358. We would love to have Othais and Mae join us, and they have an open door any time.
    185
  359. "Chassepot to FAMAS: French Military Rifles 1866-2016"
    185
  360. Yep, he has.
    183
  361. I may die in this episode...
    183
  362. IMO, a top mounted magazine is preferable to a side-mounted one, especially on an LMG. Top-mounting aids feeding and ejection, and doesn't unbalance the weapon the way a 30-round mag of rifle ammo on the side would.
    183
  363. +Rusty Shackleford A Sneaky Pistol.
    182
  364. If I can find one...
    182
  365. Unfortunately, as the series continues through the XL70 and XL80 guns, it only gets worse...
    182
  366. Knives are dangerous!
    181
  367. If the bolt was closed when you switched the selector lever, no - it would operate normally. If the bolt was open when you changed the lever, the first trigger pull would close the bolt and you would have to pull it a second time to fire the first semiauto shot. After that, it would work normally (or so I'm told).
    181
  368. LiamNL 'Cuz I'm dumb. :)
    181
  369. Thanks!

  372. I can stop any time I want!
    180
  373. Thanks! I have a bunch more SA videos coming, including some neat commercial failures from Musgrave. :)
    180
  374. Crap - thanks.
    180
  375. I have a video on the 41/49 Orita coming in late January.

  377. That is a volunteer named Stephen, who does amazing work.
    178
  378. I played the multiplayer. It's worse.
    178
  379. It might be a contender, but everyone expects India to have a lousy rifle. England is supposed to be better!
    178
  380. I sometimes shoot right handed on video to accommodate lighting conditions.
    178
  381. I am quite fond of that particular Berthier. It was made in 1891 and is still in great shape and completely matching (right down to the matching clearing rod). :)
    177
  382. I can't do it for everything, but I was able to disassemble several this time. Glad you enjoy the videos!
    177
  383. I do.
    175
  384. How do you qualify as a GI Joe?
    175
  385. +eyy lmao Largely because it was limited to a quite weak cartridge and was impossible to aim at any distance.
    175
  386. I saw it in theater. Excellent.
    174
  387. Not the 44, but the MAS-49 was given a scope rail on every rifle for DMR use.
    174
  388. It's actually not. Winchester entered the competition at the absolute last minute, and won because they had the best design.
    174
  389. The fellow running the camera on this video (and the G43 one) is the rifle's owner, a vet who is running on about 1/3 of a lung. If I had realized that his breathing would be as noticeable, I would have used a different mic setup - but I didn't realize it when we were filming.
    174
  390. Me too!
    174
  391. MOAR BERGMANN
    174
  392. +Tyler Peooples It would detonate on impact.
    173
  393. Yes, the lever is the trigger.
    173
  394. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0MD7_8AkNA
    173
  395. Nah, my own personal collection isn't very interesting - I haven't (yet) had the money or the decades of time required to assemble a really nice collection of my own.
    173

    172

  399. Never!
    171
  400. Nein!
    171
  401. Yes. Polar bears and the Imperial Japanese Navy.
    170
  402. With practice, Mannlicher-type clips (of which the M1 is an example) can be reloaded very quickly. I would definitely take 8-round clips over 10-round box magazines. It's only when the magazine capacity gets higher (15, 20, 30 rounds) that the box mags become the better option.
    170
  403. Then I buy one of Elon Musk's tickets to Mars.

    169
  405. +Brandon Moucheron I like nothing better than educating the enthusiastic. :)
    169
  406. Yup - I was only thinking about self-loaders for this video.
    169
  407. Got more with him next week. :)
    167
  408. I tried copying this into the video description, but it is longer than YouTube allows for description text, unfortunately. Thanks for compiling it!
    167
  409. I have a Huot video coming next month.
    167
  410. Someone decided that the grip looks like a broom handle, and the name stuck here in the US a long time ago.
    167
  411. In retrospect, with the hammer in the central firing position it doesn't drop far enough to cause the hand to engage, and thus does not cause the cylinder to rotate. A clever solution, which I did not notice until seeing this comment. Good eye! :)
    167
  412. That would be up to the family that consigned it...and there is nothing to prevent the French government or a French museum from bidding on it.
    166
  413. "Musket" was simply the designation Winchester chose for the long barrel configuration with a full-length stock, duplicating the military pattern.
    166
  414. +leathery420 With the volume RIA does, I suspect the packing department gets numb to it...
    166
  415. Commercial sales meant security organizations and foreign militaries, not US civilians. They could legally buy them, but virtually nobody did.
    166
  416. Well, I'm glad we have the important issues covered.
    166
  417. A Swedish Viking kind of terminator…the winner of Recon division was a range officer, which means he shot all 10 stages and ran the entire 30km in a single day (Friday staff match).
    165
  418. Excellent; that was the idea. :)
    165
  419. I agree, but they won't let me in. Maybe someone reading this has an inside track to lobby on my behalf?
    165
  420. The policy of its owner. Basically, I use gloves at public museums.
    165
  421. +Erik Hess Georg Luger, probably.
    164
  422. It's not flimsy, it's just not as nicely fitted as it could be.
    164
  423. +leonardo tavares dardenne Because of my poor proofreading skills.
    164
  424. About 9 months, when the NFA transfer is complete.
    164
  425. While Brownells is a partner in the WWSD project, there's no further sponsorship involved. Paul happened to be in the area when I was at RIA, and I wanted to talk to him about the different retro projects. It's so rare for a company to successfully pull off that sort of thing that I want to get more insight into how they made it work, and I figured you guys would find it interesting as well.
    164
  426. I don't have it filmed yet, but it's on the list. :)
    163
  427. I'm sure you can be patient; people have been waiting 2000 years for a return of the original Jesus.
    163
  428. Yes.
    163
  429. Oops, did I just say "series" instead of "episode"?
    163
  430. Johnson LMG mags are actually not that rare or expensive.
    162
  431. Ugh. :)
    162
  432. Dammit! Why didn’t I think of that? :)
    162
  433. +Xanatos712 In this case it's from the movement of the action bar.
    161
  434. I got to see the changing of the guard at the Castle myself, it was a cool ceremony.
    161
  435. Haha - the owner was fine with me making the video, but I was not on a planned filming trip and didn't have my regular camera or table setup.

  444. That's actually the next one we are doing...
    156
  445. Thanks - good to know! Hopefully I will have a chance to show all three variations side by side at a museum some day.
    156
  446. It was cold.
    156
  447. They did experiment with a 5.56mm one, but it never went anywhere. Still not practical for infantry, and to wimpy for aircraft use.
    156
  448. That's on OnlyFans.
    155
  449. Yup, lead-acid.
    154
  450. +Charles Faure Yes, I meant meters.
    154
  451. +Just Another Fanboy Yes, the inability of a standard 8x57 rifle to pierce British tank armor.
    154
  452. You can find SSD's US offerings through their US partner, DK Production Group: https://www.dkproductiongroup.com/
    153
  453. On the one hand, once it's a registered machine gun the barrel length is no longer regulated. Also, where this gun is located, the NFA does not apply.
    152
  454. Erik Lanister More or less.
    152
  455. Nor an issue with finding water.
    152
  456. American troops brought home a ton of German .22 trainers.
    152
  457. +Hughes Enterprises Can you send me an email at admin@forgottenweapons.com?
    152
  458. Yes.
    151
  459. YouTube just arbitrarily turned them off when the video posted, and I just now got back to an internet connection, saw it, and turned them back on.
    151
  460. Not the first time or place it's happened! :)
    151
  461. It's the new craze!
    150
  462. The fellow running the camera on this video (and the G43 one) is the rifle's owner, a vet who is running on about 1/3 of a lung. If I had realized that his breathing would be as noticeable, I would have used a different mic setup - but I didn't realize it when we were filing.
    150
  463. Ouch - I can understand that making the rifle an unpleasant memory!
    150
  464. Use code CSFWMAT for 15% off a shooting mat from Creedmoor Sports!.
    149
  465. +Tango Down You are correct - they are pattern-welded, aka damascus, barrels.
    149
  466. It was made for the Finnish Army, and that's why I call it Finnish. A Finn Mosin-Nagant may have been made in Russia, but it's also still Finnish.
    149
  467. +Ragnar 33 The ammo was only one of many things I dislike about the MAG-7.
    149
  468. I turn 40 next month...
    149
  469. Transferrable ones are going for 30-40k.
    148
  470. Three lies in four words!
    148
  471. +Leanardoe Yes, but the more difficult part is finding it in the first place.
    147
  472. https://youtu.be/YgecTgbz3ik
    147
  473. Actually, this one was brought in for a police department that wanted to try it out.
    147
  474. Yes, it's coming.
    147
  475. I can certainly think of worse to be called...
    147
  476. Yes - more effective at short range, and a common practice in general to make the most of smoothbores.
    147
  477. The Mors video posts tomorrow ;)
    146
  478. No, standard bolt. The real ones had lightened bolts and slightly shortened recoil springs.
    146
  479. Heh - that movie would be The Maltese Falcon, where a guy is killed with an 8-shot Webley-Fosbery in .38 ACP. An actual high-capacity revolver chambered for an Automatic Colt Pistol round. :)
    145
  480. This is not uncommon during this period. The US had the Spencer, Trapdoor, Krag, and Lee Navy in the span of 30 years.
    145
  481. Thanks!
    145
  482. Haha - I actually already have one of these :)
    144
  483. That's not a bad way of describing it :)
    144
  484. The difference between Europeans and Americans is that Americans think 200 years is a long time and Europeans think 200 miles is a long distance.
    143
  485. Thanks!
    143
  486. Cool, thanks!
    142
  487. I suspect it was to duplicate the grip angle of a K98k.
    142
  488. Haha - no. My father was not involved.
    142
  489. +toby Hogan No, but I spend a while there before each auction to do video.
    142
  490. Yep :)
    142
  491. It's actually July 31. :)
    142
  492. Totes, brah.
    141
  493. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/headstamp/licensed-troubleshooter?ref=dkrv10 Licensed Troubleshooter: The Guns of James Bond is live on Kickstarter now - check it out for lots of super cool exclusive options!
    141
  494. Remember that there is a 11% Federal excise tax on rifles that buyers never see.
    141
  495. Alas, no - nothing came of it. :(
    141
  496. That's because it is a Chinese Type 56.
    141
  497. Yes.
    140
  498. I have a video on it filmed that hasn't posted yet. Also one on the 1888 Madsen-Rasmussen.
    140
  499. That's a myth. The water inside a machine gun jacket is nasty, and nobody would drink it short of absolute desperation.
    140
  500. Merci!
    140
  501. The FAMAS is reversible, and can be switched form left to right handed or back in a minute or two, without needing any extra parts.
    140
  502. Never.
    140
  503. I've got several more models coming... :)
    140
  504. Golf is a waste of a perfectly good rifle range. XD
    140
  505. If you do, please let me know! My email address is admin@forgottenweapons.com . Merci!
    140
  506. Because I did a poor job of removing the background from the image.
    140
  507. https://youtu.be/pMGq2hFTnvM
    140
  508. +tenhundredkills The Army is historically bigger and more important. The USMC is an arm of the Navy, and for a long time was very small.
    139
  509. The one I'm aware of in the US is in a private collection.
    139
  510. I figure it's better than most of the alternatives.
    139
  511. Happily, we had generally outstanding visibility for the whole weekend. Lots of moonlight and only some intermittent cloud cover. In those conditions, the Sionyx Opsin footage looks really good.
    138
  512. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=of8okKZg7UA
    138
  513. Awesome! :)
    138
  514. We do have one in the book that is stamped (in English) "Made in Pittsburg" [sic]... :)
    138
  515. I sometimes carry, depending on circumstances. My choice of pistol also varies wildly, although my most common is a Ballester-Molina (which is also what I shoot in competition).
    138
  516. There were some converted to .308 by importers. You can find one if you look.
    138
  517. Well, they are Germans. :)
    137
  518. +Ian Phair I would rather have the reduced weight, increased capacity, and reduced recoil of the .223 over a .308.
    137
  519. We have not yet implemented passport controls on the state, so you can leave...
    137
  520. The desired accuracy was achievable with a semi auto as well as a bolt action. In addition to mechanical accuracy, they also considered factors like weight, durability, cost, and more.
    136
  521. We will cover that tomorrow...
    136
  522. There are some Easter eggs in the batch, for a couple lucky random buyers. :)
    136
  523. Sorry, I mixed up the first name. It was George who invented the gun; no relation to the Morse code guy, Samuel.
    136
  524. coltonsin64 They are welcome to do so. The 1911 has plenty of problems, and anyone who claims otherwise is clearly not willing to look at it honestly. For the record, I say that as a person who really likes the 1911.
    136
  525. bigred2989 No, for the same reason that shotguns are not machine guns. It's one cartridge being fired that matters, not the number of projectiles in it.
    136
  526. Almost certainly.
    135
  527. It would be just fine.
    135
  528. Yes, but I can only deliver lessons via YouTube video, and the whole class is about guns. :)
    135
  529. The 500 people in the comments did manage to bring it to my attention...not sure how that one got past me, I must have gotten distracted while editing and uploaded it before I actually finished going through it. Whoops!
    135
  530. No, it's original.
    135
  531. There is, it's called Banzai and has been around for decades.
    135
  532. Get Entered to WIN this original 1897 Trench Gun! https://go.getenteredtowin.com/forgottenweapons DEADLINE to ENTER is 09/29/23 @ 11:59pm (PST).
    134
  533. Yes, but I did not go into any depth about the rifle's development.
    133
  534. Or, what if Fireplace Guy has even more than you realize because I've filmed gun of his in other rooms at his place?
    133
  535. Crap. Sorry.
    133
  536. Got a video on that coming next week...
    133
  537. +The Mikuru WHAT?
    133
  538. As an Arizonan, the first thing we made was green chile pork stew. :)
    132
  539. Elbonian Royal Air Service merch: https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/forgotten-weapons-royal-air-service-elbonia-t-shirt-cotton/78756
    132
  540. Yep, that's correct. It certainly had its shortcomings, but the US conversion to .30-06 (which was done incorrectly) was the real disaster.
    132
  541. Hard to pick - I really enjoy being both.
    132
  542. There is a World Pasta Day?
    131
  543. WHAT?
    131
  544. You'll like the series, then - in filming the videos, we had a total of about 55 different Bergmanns out to work with. :)
    131
  545. @frosty3693 https://youtu.be/MUjDumvMK6I
    130
  546. Thanks!
    130
  547. +Gun Sense (drmaudio) Protip: Normal guns work in space, I am told. ;)
    129
  548. That's not a bad idea...
    129
  549. Yeah, I didn't;'t realize the correct pronunciation until after filming this one. However, I am planning a trip to Romania next spring to do a bunch of filming, and I will get it right in those. :)
    129
  550. +Attila Rischt I showed up for one of their preview days (right before an auction, when all the guns are out for public inspection and handling by anyone interested in possibly bidding) and filmed a bunch of short videos. Those were all published after the auction was over, and they noticed the traffic from those video. At that point they got in touch with me about doing things in the lead-up to auctions.
    129
  551. the Russians use it on the Pecheneg today.
    128
  552. +ProJirard the Finishist Yikes!
    128
  553. Yeah, I like the style, but I'm not into heroin. :)
    128
  554. There is no way to even remotely capture the experience of WWI in a video game, but I think Verdun does a good job of trying. Better than BF1, that's for sure.
    127
  555. Just an import arrangement, as far as I can tell.
    127
  556. If I ever find one.
    127
  557. Alex Krasikow That's because I own it. ;)
    127
  558. +BigSwede7403 Yes, I meant to say meters.
    127
  559. One of the central squares in Tallinn has a big monument to Estonian independence. It's made out of glass, to highlight the fragility of freedom and independence.
    127
  560. Approaching six figures, if you can actually find one for sale.
    127
  561. +The Major The first pattern guns can be; the second pattern ones cannot be.
    127
  562. What happened is that YouTube has aggressively deprioritized not just firearms content, but most long-form content in general (unless it involves deliberately making people angry at other people). I have experimented with several replacement revenue sources, and I think this is the best one. It lets me give a really cool piece to someone each time (I send them out myself) and I don't have to make awkward pitches for products I don't actually have an interest in.
    127
  563. The history of US firearms manufacturing, particularly in the 1800s, is rife with patent and copyright violations. At least these guys were creative enough to make their own aesthetic design.
    126
  564. Considering it was made by and for the Vichy, that may be true.
    126
  565. Interesting fact; the car muffler and firearm silencer were both invented by the same person, Hiram Percy Maxim (son of Hiram Maxim of machine gun fame).
    126
  566. Yes, I did consider that. I decided to use the blurred flag instead because it guarantees that you know something has been changed. Too much across the board use of the iron cross as a stand-in will leave people believing that it was that actual Nazi flag and not realizing anything has been altered. If I have to censor something, I at least want to be clear that I am doing it.
    125
  567. I cheated using a long barrel for extra velocity. :)
    125
  568. I don't think her husband would like that.
    124
  569. I will be fine. I am a careful guy, and it's South Africa, not Mogadishu...
    124
  570. I filmed a video on the .280 FAL lat week, so it is coming.
    124
  571. Lol - I know Matt in person. :)
    124
  572. Almost like it wasn't intended to be a precision rifle...
    124
  573. +Daniel G As long as you opened the breech with some vigor, it would fully eject.
    124
  574. Good point - I did not think about machines running multiple operations simultaneously.
    123
  575. If I could coordinate a visit with them, I would love to.
    123
  576. Sorry, that was the title from the Patreon version. I was a bit rushed prepping video for the trip I'm on now and I missed that.
    123
  577. The 6.5x50SR (Arisaka) pushes a 139gr bullet at 2500fps. That may be less than .30-06, but it is by no means ineffective. For comparison, it is very close to the 6.5 Swede, and more potent than the hot new uber-cartridges, the 6.8 SPC and .300 Blackout.
    123
  578. Got rod jammed in barrel. Powder wet, wouldn't fire. Added more powder, bulged barrel. Also, bayonet blade snapped off.
    123
  579. +Jack Sparrow Nope.
    123
  580. +Sinan Alay They were on the receiving end maybe? Or they had to carry ammo for it?
    123
  581. True!
    123
  582. That was standard, because the US was the primary market for export in the 1920s.
    122
  583. Nope, can't say I have been.
    122
  584. +The Bellman We shot 60 rounds total.
    122
  585. The bullet lethality is something that requires a suspension of disbelief, and if not adequately explained in the show. If they were just simunitions, Harris' shotgun round would not have been able to go through the wall and hit that one guy in episode 2, nor would they throw people back when hit (not that real bullets do either, but you get the point).
    122
  586. Sorry, no shooting footage of this one.
    122
  587. Brent has a set. I eagerly await his review too :D
    122
  588. Get Entered to WIN this legendary PTR44 Sturmgewehr! https://go.getenteredtowin.com/forgottenweapons DEADLINE to ENTER is 05/26/23 @ 11:59pm (PST).
    122
  589. I'm curious, what specifically did you dislike about it? I have handled them, but not had a chance to shoot one myself.
    121
  590. Because we are a nation of laws.
    121
  591. Government contracts that let you bill for the tooling and setup costs, that's how. :)
    121
  592. I own one, actually. Planning to do a video on it at some point.
    121
  593. Me too!
    120
  594. +j0nthegreat Milquetoast.
    120
  595. Good catch, thanks.
    120
  596. +MrMrsirr That's exactly what they do.
    120
  597. That was the style at the time...
    120
  598. That would be Žiga from Polenar Tactical.
    120
  599. Tried not to...
    119
  600. You are more than welcome to share it, thanks!
    119
  601. That is the cam that pushes rounds into the receiver from the bottom of the magazine.
    119
  602. I bought this semiauto many years ago, but only very recently got around to registering it as an SBR. I didn't want to do a video on it before that, with the really ugly 16" barrel.
    118
  603. +JKCDLT At $5k, it would be one of the trips fairly high on my list, in all seriousness. I would combine it with travel to some Boer War and Zulu War sites.
    118
  604. Only if we find a French rifle in the jungle...
    118
  605. She is an adorable Australian cattle dog.
    118
  606. "Marky Mark" Markus Gaming Yes, and also manual repeating pistols. Germans and Austrians were definitely on the bleeding edge at the time.
    118
  607. Because I'm running the high speed camera.
    117
  608. As soon as he writes it ;)
    117
  609. Well, that would make sense - thanks! I figured the ball pommel was an aesthetic holdover.
    117
  610. I did get recognized by a Beretta employee who didn't know I was going to be there, yes. :)
    117
  611. The ZF41 was not designed to be a sniper's optic, but rather a DMR (designated marksman) optic. It was meant to give you just that extra bit of capacity to take more precise shots. In that role, it's didn't fare too badly. However, because of the lack of larger scopes, it was pressed into service for snipers. They (predictably) hated it because it wasn't intended to do the job they needed it to.
    116
  612. None actually exist.
    116
  613. Neat! I didn't know that.
    116
  614. I have actually visited Bapty, many year ago... :)
    116
  615. Done - I had not realized that was an option. Thanks!
    116
  616. I have been told anecdotally that a lot of Belgian troops just taped the grip safety down.
    116
  617. Unfortunately, there are essentially no rifle-caliber machine gun matches. They few where such a thing is allowed are completely incompatible with a belt-fed HMG. Those guns were designed and used for static emplacements, not dynamic movement.
    116
  618. Pretty much the first stage where I had to use it...
    116
  619. I, for one, have zero desire to ever pay for a Rohrbaugh.
    115
  620. I'm sure everything on Storage Wars is totally real... https://youtu.be/6ARSbzxeFis?t=43
    115
  621. Coming in a couple weeks.
    115
  622. It was not supposed to post until next week.
    115
  623. Actually, loading the pans is pretty easy. The gun mechanically rotates the mag as it fires instead of using a spring, so you don't have to hold tension on anything when loading. Just drop the rounds in and rotate the center piece of the pan. With practice, you could probably do a full 47 rounds in about 30 seconds.
    115
  624. Eoghan O neill You didn't send me any 5mm pinfire ammo to shoot it with!
    114
  625. What I was shooting were inert practice projectiles. HE rounds would be DDs, though.
    114
  626. A ballistic pendulum is a simple way to determine muzzle velocity without any electronics, as long as you know the bullet weight. As for non-firearms, I would be willing to cover some, but only ones I know enough about to make a useful an informative video.
    114
  627. I covered the 607 a little while back...https://youtu.be/ajQhLYgohGM
    114
  628. Nope.
    114
  629. ***** Thanks!
    114
  630. I have added it to the description text.
    114
  631. We have a stretch goal for a section on Goldeneye64...
    113
  632. "Disintegrating" belts are actually made of individual sheet steel links held together by the cartridges, so when the cartridges are fed through the gun the belt disassembled into small pieces. They remain intact and reusable, as long as you pick them up out of the dirt.
    113
  633. 10/10 Would eat.
    113
  634. And he's talking about my performance in the match, in properly formatted Viking Age verse, no less. :D
    113
  635. Haha - I already did; the one in this video is mine. :)
    113
  636. Tomorrow.
    113
  637. On one hand, the noise of guns bumping this table (which is plastic) turned out sounding much worse on camera than it was in person. Beyond that, all I can say if that I have handled an awful lot of old guns, and I believe I have a pretty good feel for what is delicate or fragile and what is not. I would absolutely not do anything I had any suspicion might cause harm to the guns.
    113
  638. Michael Akkerman Most people can't deadlift 350 pounds, much less move with it. Af for the weapons, if you could go back in time and give soldiers the option of using today's arms, most of them would jump at the chance, because today's arms are far more effective.
    113
  639. I'm glad you are a reasonable and tolerant person.
    113
  640. To clarify, the guns were purchased from a dealer in Hamburg, but shipped from Kiel into the Baltic. Why they did not take a shorter route into the North Sea I don't know.
    113
  641. Available now for preorder! https://www.headstamppublishing.com/ww2-usa Note that we also have a proper European shipping option this time - much less expensive than before!
    112
  642. Yes, it's something you will see added to lots of precision rifles.
    112
  643. For two years we have been testing options, but haven't come up with a truly viable one yet. Heating one target for a short time on the range is fairly easy; doing a couple dozen in the woods for two full nights is a whole lot different. For the time being, we make it pretty explicit that targets are not heated, so potential thermal competitors know what they are getting into.
    112
  644. +Goshen You just have to go out to the range and find all the pieces of it. :)
    112
  645. Guns like this one (which I have virtually zero documentation on) I poke and prod until I figure it out. There are only so many ways to put a gun together, and I've done enough strange ones that I can usually figure things out.
    112
  646. No, unless they choked on it.
    112
  647. As soon as you send me some ammo for it.
    112
  648. Ironically, I believe the purchase contract was written by the same law firm currently representing GWACS in the suit.
    112
  649. +dougler500 I have a degree in mechanical engineering technology from Purdue.
    112
  650. Yes.
    112
  651. juarezezez My solution was to sell it. :)
    111
  652. That is the next video along these lines, which will look at SMGs, PDWs, and machine pistols.
    111
  653. Spandau is a suburb of Berlin, not a gun at all.
    111
  654. As soon as I find a pile of gold bars on the side of the road. :)
    110
  655. I expect you would take the scope off to load, and that brass would bounce off the bottom of the scope.
    110
  656. Yup, their lineup covers pretty much everything you need to do with guns unless you are the USMC.
    110
  657. They had the bas luck to be situated right between Russian and Germany.
    110
  658. Actually, my mother made it for me. :)
    110
  659. They made it that way from the factory, so they could sell it to people who can't have live guns.
    110
  660. That's why I said Greene, not green.
    109
  661. Agua chiltepin.

  662. Floatplane, Utreon, and Rumble.
    109
  663. Whoops! Forgot to cut that bit out. :)
    109
  664. That company gets to stay forgotten.
    109
  665. Why would anyone need three emojis in a row? Isn't one good enough?
    109
  666. Considering the gun was designed in 1910, that's a pretty potent cartridge. Most autopistols at the time (except the Colt/Browning guns) were using cartridges like 7.63 Mauser, .32 ACP, and 9mm Glisenti. The 9x23 wasn't the most powerful thing around, but it was at the high end of the spectrum.
    108
  667. +Goshen Sort of. If't comfortable and warm, but itchy.
    108
  668. +phileas007 Yes, remarkably.
    108
  669. Get Entered to WIN this authentic 101st Airborne M17! https://go.getenteredtowin.com/forgottenweapons Deadline is 04/28/23 @ 11:59pm (PST).
    108
  670. +Sam King Yes.
    107
  671. Because they were adopting the 7.62 NATO cartridge, and the .303 ammo was all obsolete.
    107
  672. It was the ricocheting fragments that destroyed the stand and allowed the plate to fall, not the initial impact.
    107
  673. I'll be discussing that next week... ;)
    107
  674. I did get the point across though, right? :)
    107
  675. The M44L is different; I have a video on that one coming in a couple weeks.
    107
  676. Thanks!
    106

    106
  679. All of this is already well known among anyone who would be making fakes.
    105
  680. Yes.
    105
  681. I would disagree.
    105
  682. Crazy talk.
    105
  683. I announced it to my Patreon supporters - that's a perk of supporting the channel. We had a great meet up with a bunch of Danish fans (and a few Swedes too).
    105
  684. +CenterFireJewelry I doubt it.
    105
  685. Slightly longer (12.7x108 compared to 12.7x99), no practical difference.
    105
  686. Yes, I do plan to.
    105
  687. Yes, I have one filmed but not posted yet.
    104
  688. I did that last year...it was "interesting" :)
    104
  689. There is a tube above the barrel - that's why when you keep the ejection door shut a bunch of rounds come out at once. They stack up until the tube is full, and then the next case pushes the stack enough for the door to open and a bunch to fall out.
    104
  690. Because I don't own it and the ammunition is extremely difficult to find.
    104
  691. Yes, we plan to do volumes on the UK, Japan, Italy, and Germany.
    104
  692. I have heard several different stories about them, and used my own judgement to pick the one that seemed most reliable.
    104
  693. Oh, they totally did. And they did the filming and editing of the whole series.
    104
  694. Sure, that seems like an easy promise to keep. :)
    104
  695. This is true.
    104
  696. FYI, I do also use Floatplane, which is completely independent of both Patreon and YouTube.
    104
  697. I used the flag that was in use when the gun was designed, which is what I do for all my thumbnails.
    103
  698. Our driver is Dutch. :)
    103
  699. Cimarron's WWI-style 1911 is a very good value.
    103
  700. Sure, lots of guns worth looking at that I didn't cover! But if I told you what they all are, they you'd be bidding on the same things as me. ;)
    103
  701. +Sith Yarael Yeah, I'm sure he will get right on that.
    103
  702. It was not an accident. :)
    103
  703. Yes, I do.
    103
  704. FYI, that bubba was me.
    103
  705. Most of the guys building these as semiautos here in the US convert them to .50 BMG.
    103
  706. Not yet. It's hard to find them in their original configuration; most were refurbished by the Russians or Finns.
    102
  707. Seventeen. :)
    102
  708. Remember that many of the weird designs of the early 1900s were done in part to avoid the patents held by Browning covering many of the more simple and effective operating mechanisms.
    102
  709. +Terrell Thomas Laws.
    102
  710. Honestly? The flamethrower.
    102
  711. +TheGoldenCaulk In the Boxer Rebellion, there were Chinese, British, and American forces all using the Remington-Lee on different sides...
    101
  712. 😆
    101
  713. They don't have it ready - sorry! I thought it would be when I recorded the video.
    101
  714. If someone makes a new version, my choice would be for HK91 mags - they're a lot more available than SR25 mags.
    101
  715. +Jimmy Cricket the shooting video will post tomorrow
    101
  716. Yes, the G36 is an AR18 derivative.
    101
  717. On second glance, yes - they do.
    101
  718. Just keep up the great work!
    100
  719. Yes, this particular one is part of a museum collection and not something we had the opportunity to fire.
    100
  720. It's a 37mm round for the Pompom.
    100
  721. No, I don't think the Luger could have beaten the Colt/Browning 1911. In .45 ACP the Luger was a pretty bulky gun, and the 1911 beat it handily in the dust and corrosion tests. The Luger was more accurate pistol, but the 1911 was a better all-around service sidearm. Fair disclosure; I'm not a huge fan of the Luger in general.
    100
  722. Unfortunately, they wouldn't let us bring the camera in, so I have no footage of the inside. We did get to see barrel making, SCAR assembly, MAG-58 test firing, Hi-Power barrel manufacture, and their reference collection of prototypes though. :)
    100
  723. It was not a blank.
    100
  724. +Valivali94 The MG42 is a GPMG, not an LMG. Similar, but different.
    100
  725. Out the bottom.
    99
  726. You don't wait until the enemy has a lot of tanks before you start developing a weapon to counter them.
    99
  727. How convenient!
    99
  728. Given my previous experience with television...yes.
    99
  729. Guess you plumb wasted your time!
    99
  730. I filmed this before Othais published his, and did not have access to the cablegrams he located.
    99
  731. You don't have to.The whole base of the cartridge is the same, and it burned through wherever to breech ports are.
    99
  732. When I find a suitable example, definitely
    98
  733. Only a very small number of C96 Mausers had detachable magazines.
    98
  734. Eeehhh....pas de raison...regardez! Les allemands!
    98
  735. A prop gun made to look like this, yes.
    98
  736. Yup. :)
    98
  737. The rifling.
    98
  738. I'm in if Elon's in.
    98
  739. If I use a swastika the video will be blocked in most of Europe.
    98
  740. Yes.
    98
  741. Heh...it's fully functional on these guns. :)
    97
  742. Modern ones are far, far more effective though - and don't require the battery backpack!
    97
  743. +Kurio71 Why not? Civilians are people just like everyone else.
    97
  744. Thanks to Guns.com for sponsoring this video! If you are an FFL looking to find a wider market for your inventory or a customer looking for a cool new piece, check them out!
    97
  745. Today's video brought to you by Headstamp Publishing: the premier publisher of firearms reference books today: http://www.headstamppublishing.com
    97
  746. FWIW, Pieper did make a Nagant revolving carbine for the Mexican Army that used a gas-seal design.
    97
  747. Also an L118A2. :)
    96
  748. +Tyrannosaurus54 Yeah, actually you can. :)
    96
  749. Oh noes!
    96
  750. Cool!
    96
  751. I suspect because the mainspring tended to break, but I don't have any proof of that.
    96
  752. You mean poudre blanche, Paul Ville's famous Powder B? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poudre_B
    96
  753. Yup! :)
    96
  754. +Adoring Fan Like a pressure washer.
    96
  755. Alas, no.
    96
  756. +GoredonTheDestroyer Me too! Alas, the rifle's owner has passed away and I no longer have access to it.
    96
  757. Thank you!
    96
  758. I am a founding partner.
    96
  759. They are available for sale... And yeah, the stock was a definitely whoopsie. Don't mortar-clear a rifle that doesn't have a metal buttplate!
    96
  760. I left out the Beretta because it's blowback, but that's the one or their picks that I haven't had a chance to fire...
    95
  761. That Jeep was not capable of any speed except slow.
    95
  762. It was only ever made as a mockup, never a real gun.
    95
  763. +oldcommy I think it is largely because the Germans had a very photogenic military. And most Americans don't really understand the role of the Soviet Union in the war.
    95
  764. Yes, they would measure bullet velocity.
    95
  765. Thanks!
    95
  766. Dolf Goldsmith's first Maxim came from his grandmother, who was a Red Cross official and got one as a gift just like that.
    95
  767. I had a wonderful time. It help that you all seem to speak excellent English. :)
    95
  768. "HMG is still and always has been, 100% dedicated to deliver the rifles to our customers who have been patiently waiting. " From Facebook several months ago.
    95
  769. Both. It's basically impossible to find.
    95
  770. munkSWE88 It was introduced a couple years after the rifle, but they are the exact same mechanism.
    95
  771. That would be because it is a Colombian Army hat ;)
    95
  772. Yes, that must be it.
    95
  773. Yep. Video will be on the conversion kit.
    94
  774. The SA stamp is a mark of Finnish military property, not anything related to manufacture. In fact, Finland did not manufacture any Mosin receivers - everything they used was either purchased or captured. They did rebarrel a lot of Mosins (and Sako is one of the companies who did that work), but this one is an Izhevsk (Russian) manufacture, as indicated by the arrow-in-a-triangle marking on the barrel.
    94
  775. Working on it...
    94
  776. Both pronunciations are correct.
    94
  777. I, for one, don't see any reason why it shouldn't be, as long as the person doing the carrying understand the legal and moral requirements of using force and has the physical aptitude to use the weapon effectively.
    94
  778. Good point.
    94
  779. Lets of people were taught that in Basic, but it's a myth.
    94
  780. A grain is a standard unit of measurement over here for very small things, 1 pound equals 7000 grains. Converting to metric, 1 grain equals 0.0647989 grams (or put the other way, 15.4 grains per gram).
    94
  781. I looked at it, but didn't have time for a video on it. Sorry.
    94
  782. In the most recent sale I am aware of, it went for $130k.
    93
  783. I like how you didn't look at the publication dates on those videos. I also liked how DICE used my channel and web site to choose guns for BF1.
    93
  784. We can only hope not.
    93
  785. Nope, I had no part in writing that description. :)
    93
  786. It's a channel name, not a legal criteria.
    93
  787. It could have been - 900 paratroops of the Yokosuka 1st SNLF (Special Naval Landing Force) fought on Saipan.
    93
  788. RyeOnHam Actually, those were things that Colt changed.
    93
  789. Yup, hence my note in the description text
    93
  790. Germany was quite the chaotic place in the aftermath of their defeat in WWI.
    93
  791. Those are coming in separate videos. :)
    93
  792. ***** Thanks, but the History Channel doesn't actually do history anymore. There is much better history on YouTube, compared to Ancient Aliens, Hunting Bigfoot, and whatever else they have on cable anymore. Television is a dying medium.
    93
  793. By not adopting a caseless rifle. :)
    92
  794. 5-6 thousand.
    92
  795. My book "Chassepot to FAMAS" is restocked and shipping now: https://www.headstamppublishing.com/french-rifle-book
    92
  796. Probably better to just put your finger in your pocket and claim to have a gun rather than show them a Kolibri...
    92
  797. Working on it.
    92
  798. Can you post the link to the photo, or tell me the photo number? I took a look at SA-Kuva and couldn't find it...
    92
  799. +austenslost No, this was given to me by a friend.
    92
  800. Bergmann has been defunct for decades.
    92
  801. IHitmanAirsoft The story may get better as this video series continues... :)
    91
  802. And they put it way too far forward and gave it a schutzen front grip for some mysterious reason.
    91
  803. Any chance you have a link?
    91
  804. +FirstDagger If I don't mispronounce something, nobody will have anything to comment on!
    91
  805. "Armalite AR-10B: Page Not Found"?
    91
  806. They used the word "shake", which has become understood as "type" in English, but is better translated as "model".
    91
  807. Yes, they would. I have a friend who is looking for one for exactly that reason...
    91
  808. Frankly, it wasn't filmed with the intent of posting. It was a bit we recorded for our own reference, and I decided to publish it as a part of the article I did on the blog on Gatling feed devices. While it may not have the production quality, I hope it does do a good job conveying an understanding of how the Broadwell drum functioned.
    91
  809. Yes, it would.
    91
  810. When I can find one...
    91
  811. Yes, I have a whole video channel of theme right here. :)
    91
  812. Giant Meteor 2016.
    91
  813. A common misconception. Ammunition for destructive devices is not regulated and taxed unless it contains more than a quarter ounce of explosive. So solid projectiles for guns like this one are legally no different than rifle ammo - no tax or registration involved. There would be if the ammo were HE, but not for solid projectiles.
    91
  814. Oh, the Lewis could definitely be overheated - the cooling system just extended how long you could fire before it happened. It was replaced by the Bren because the Bren was better in pretty much every way - lighter, more reliable, cheaper, and more durable. Lewis mags cannot be used on the Bren.
    91
  815. It does (although machine gun registration in the US involves a tax, not a license). Gatling guns and other manually-operated weapons like them are not considered fully automatic by law.
    91
  816. Adrian Larkins They didn't see much use.
    91
  817. Get Entered to WIN this incredible semiauto Madsen LMG! https://go.getenteredtowin.com/forgottenweapons DEADLINE to ENTER is 11/24/23 @ 11:59pm (PST).
    90
  818. I was in the Netherlands last month.
    90
  819. Vernon Easley (the author of the Kabul Arsenal book) keeps finding more material and expanding the manuscript. We'll publish it once he's finished writing it.
    90
  820. No moreso than a revolver cylinder.
    89
  821. Trophy weapons from wars are a very long-standing human thing.
    89
  822. I appreciate the effort, but YouTube does not allow a person to replace an uploaded video with a new version. And in any case, I will be remaking that video with an original 06H this year.
    89
  823. I tried to get an M3 carbine to use, and in retrospect I'm really glad it didn't work out. The illumination from those systems is way too poor to have been effective in this match.
    89
  824. +Sickshooter0 Oh no!
    88
  825. No, the G43 was an entirely separate development track that running simultaneously with this.
    88
  826. That thing was such a Gucci vehicle compared to last year's BMP-2!
    88
  827. All guns flex like that when you watch them in slow motion.
    88
  828. +MrVarakai Buy it for me and I'd be happy to.
    88
  829. All military collectibles go through a cycle. First they are the enemies worthless junk, then they're boring and unworthy of a "real" collector, then they become popular, and then highly in demand. In 1946 Mausers were pointless junk, in 1919 MG08s were pointless junk, and today (actual manufacturing quality notwithstanding) Iraqi guns are worthless junk.
    87
  830. The box and spring are easy; the feed lip and follower geometry is hard. It has to feed a variety of differently shaped cartridges into a very specific location while under a variety of recoil forces, and always do it perfectly.
    87
  831. Sure, but when was the last time you saw an Air Force issue one?
    87
  832. +AtomicHombek Nope.
    87
  833. https://youtu.be/fd98XcRm0bM
    87
  834. I spent several days filming in a couple different Croatian museums - a whole bunch of them will get some attention in the coming weeks and months. :)
    87
  835. They did that, but then the production guns were not built like the trials ones.
    87
  836. Suomi.
    87
  837. +lordanglachel Thanks for the information! I got the account of the story from a series of reports published in the US, dating back to the 1850s. I suppose it is possible that they were fabricated or embellished - which would be unfortunate; it's a great story. If I have an opportunity to visit Turkey it would be interesting to try tracking down the event from the Turkish side.
    87
  838. Yup: https://youtu.be/Z-j3Isreqbg
    87
  839. Double stack, 10 rounds.
    87
  840. Yes, they would - in Germany. The penalty for having a gun was death during the US occupation, and most people just handed in everything.
    86
  841. Jan (the cameraman) is an absolute monster. He ran (literally) every stage 6 or 8 times filming different people.
    86
  842. I would not be surprised if they do.
    86
  843. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=of8okKZg7UA
    86
  844. Yes, same Bannerman. The castle was mostly destroyed by a fire in 1969.
    86
  845. I tried to get into the Museum of the Revolution in Havana, but was unable to make a contact with anyone there. :(
    86
  846. https://youtu.be/pgskLkLUhLM
    86
  847. That's really not what was responsible for the problems with the .30-06 CSRG - the book lays out the issues thoroughly and in detail. They were made from scratch in .30-06, but the chamber reamers were incorrectly dimensioned and extractor reliefs not cut in the barrel faces, which caused pretty much all the problems. The .30-06 is not that much more powerful than 8mm Lebel...
    86
  848. Yes, despite being belt fed.
    86
  849. My mustache will never be as good as his.
    85
  850. No, that's one I have not seen yet.
    85
  851. Joseph K. Interesting thought - I hadn't considered that.
    85
  852. Sure, I suppose...
    85
  853. :)
    84
  854. It is! I'm eating some right now while checking comments. :)
    84
  855. The owner was the first guy shooting the rifle.
    84
  856. Yes.
    84
  857. +Salokin Sekwah Don't be; interest in guns and shooting crosses political party boundaries. FWIW, it would cross boundaries a lot more if some people stopped assuming it didn't and blanketing their perceived "opponents" with generalizing insults...
    84
  858. Yup.
    84
  859. Yes, they did - and I have a couple Ross sniper videos coming in the next few months.
    84
  860. Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!
    84
  861. +Devin Bebee We considered fair, and decided against it.
    84
  862. For the children.
    84
  863. Steven Swingler Very good - we have one like that. Have a look: https://www.full30.com/video/f33231c7bbff5febfcc8d6d1ff6d9f44
    84
  864. +Theodore Krap That was a dummy training piece.
    83
  865. No, I don't think we'll be making any Fedorovs - at least not any time soon. How did we know how to reassemble it? We're just good at that. :)
    83
  866. +Jovial Bard (セクシー ホモゲイ) .223 Winchester is the commercial ammunition and 5.56mm is the standard adopted by NATO. There are some minor technical differences, but they are basically the same.
    83
  867. I don't expect this sort of technical question is interesting to their audience.
    83
  868. +Ken Daly No, I am not shittin you.
    83
  869. +Michael Smith It was aliens.
    83
  870. No, the shot doesn't spread quickly enough for it to hit the bayonet.
    83
  871. In a box magazine like the Lee or Ross, the cartridge rims need to be properly staggered, so that they don't catch on each other and cause rimlock. The Farquhar-Hill drum holds each round in its own cradle, so the rims aren't in contact with each other.
    83
  872. The Hague Conventions don't prohibit the use of large-caliber machine guns on human targets.
    83
  873. I have 2.5 million subscribers, and I also have literally no way to communicate with a live person at Youtube.
    83
  874. I definitely will - we have a couple Kickstarter projects in the works right now :)
    82
  875. I can't explain them. The idea of spending a million dollars on a lever action Winchester is incomprehensible to me.
    82
  876. Yup.
    82
  877. This is the only folding-stock rifle the French military issued, so yes.
    82
  878. Yeah, I wish they would stop doing that.
    82
  879. Yes, the bore is slightly oversize, but not enough to cause a problem. It would be interesting to do some serious accuracy testing on 7.62mm ammo with both .308 and .311 barrels. As for the ejector, with .30-06 it no longer needs to function as an interruptor, because rimlock isn't an issue.
    82
  880. +Peter Timowreef Send ammo!
    82
  881. None exist.
    82
  882. Yes.
    82
  883. Yes, they are getting a batch.
    82
  884. Yes, I am :)
    82
  885. That's what lots of people said about the 1968 amnesty too...
    82
  886. That's an excellent example, yeah.
    82
  887. Yep, the whole barrel recoils backwards. The front grip is attached to the frame, so as not to interfere with the action.
    82
  888. Not a bad idea! :)
    82
  889. A ballistic pendulum is one simple way. The mass of the bullet and pendulum are known, and the distance the pendulum travels is easily measured. That allows you to calculate velocity.
    81
  890. Yup.
    81
  891. +Bruce Johnson No kidding!
    81
  892. I accidentally published the one without the shooting footage and didn't realize it until just now. Oops!
    81
  893. Fire the audio guy and you won't have a host, video editor, or anyone else.
    81
  894. +azzwort The bolt will drop as soon as the follower is depressed even when it is fully locked open. When you are loading a clip, however, the clip itself holds the bolt back until it's fully inserted, at which point the friction of stripping the first round often forces you to give it a helping nudge forward. Totally different situation from when you close the bolt on an empty gun. The situation you are describing is when the bolt will drop simply when bumped, because it is not actually locked back.
    81
  895. Nope.
    81
  896. Sure. The AK was built from a military-made parts set, while the AR was a mishmash of commercials parts from a bunch of different companies. Not that any of this has any effect on the mechanical properties of the guns...
    81
  897. That would make sense.
    81
  898. It was a joke.
    81
  899. I told you...
    80
  900. +ProJirard the Finishist As long as the bolt head is rotating when you push the handle forward, it is locking. You can always unlock it by pulling on the bolt handle; firing the rifle will not cause it to open because it does not put pressure on the bolt handle. Think of it like unlocking a deadbolt - you can always unlock it by turning they key, but if you push on the door without turning they key it stays locked shut.
    80
  901. +Theodore Krap You buy me one and I would be happy to.
    80
  902. Tell them to start making 7.65mm French Long! :)
    80
  903. No, it didn't. The recoil looks worse than it really is, because I'm a lefty shooting right-handed.
    80
  904. +Brett Dwigans Once they were invented, yes.
    80
  905. Today is for updated and corrected versions of a few videos.
    80
  906. The lack of X-rings is entirely due to the guy behind the trigger, and not any fault of the pistol.
    80
  907. Yup.
    80
  908. Just limited time to get my filming in as part of the tour I was on.
    80
  909. +bigchunk1 When these were in use, there was no such thing as a Soviet tank - in fact, there wasn't even a Soviet Union.
    80
  910. Well, that's all much clearer now! :)
    80
  911. Only became legal when the ban expired in 2004.
    80
  912. Yes.
    80
  913. Given that it was stolen in ~1790, good luck tracking the chain of ownership.
    79
  914. +W1se0ldg33zer That sort of bombing campaign has never worked.
    79
  915. I show up when the owners decide to bring it out. :)
    79
  916. Highly overrated.
    79
  917. That flag was used by the Nationalist government of China from the 1920s until 1949, when the Communists finally pushed them into just Taiwan.
    79
  918. If a gun has been removed from the NFA, it does not require a tax stamp. So an exempted short-barreled Winchester Trapper is legally treated like any other rifle of the same age.
    79
  919. +Lavrentivs You film it, I'll post it. :)
    79
  920. Stay tuned next week... ;)
    79
  921. No, Springfield experimented with semi auto M2s in the 1930s.
    79
  922. Then we won't get into 9mm Makarov or .38 Special, I suppose.
    79
  923. Yes. The changes were not huge, but were important.
    79
  924. Yes. Virtually all guns do this.
    79
  925. No, it is not.
    79
  926.  @ThorneyedWT  I have two redundant backups of both edited videos and raw footage.
    78
  927. SRGTHALO Feed strips are actually more compact than belts, and basically equivalent in weight.
    78
  928. +WizzleThump It's my membership in a super-secret Jewish Illuminati conspiracy cult. Why?
    78
  929. That's from shooting Turk 8mm surplus in self-loading guns.
    78
  930. Scopes with rubber eye cups are not very easy to use with shooting glasses - and without knowing how substantial the recoil would be I didn't want to press my face right up against it.
    78
  931. +Sam Guglin Funny you should ask; I just spent yesterday filming some flamethrower shooting.
    78
  932. I suspect the small bore diameter would have prevented them from getting a grenade of the effectiveness they wanted. The 45mm mortar that replaced these was substantially more effective and longer ranged.
    78
  933. ***** It wasn't planned, actually. :) I was ahead of schedule on my gun videos, saw your comment, and though, why not? Seemed like a good idea.
    78
  934. Unfortunately, I had limited access to the gun, and didn't have a chance to disassemble it. The owner has since passed away, but if I can get my hands on another one, I will definitely do some footage of the internals (and in HD!).
    78
  935. Heh...he has no cash; he has extremely rare guns. :)
    77
  936. I actually tried to get in touch with him a while back; got nothing but ghosted.
    77
  937. +hakureishrine Thanks!
    77
  938. Sort of - the 06H was tentatively named the StG45(M). There were other StG45 designs from different companies, though.
    77
  939. You might think so, but you don't even notice it.
    77
  940. +Peter Cho The law is an algorithm, not a subjective evaluation.
    77
  941. I can't be bought! :)
    77
  942. Glad to hear it - thanks!
    77
  943. +Pprokop87 Well, I hope so...
    77
  944. Yes, it is rifled.
    77
  945. MrSamurai99999 It's an underground firing range built using an old brick smokestack laid on its side in a deep trench.
    77
  946. My pleasure - thanks for all the work you've done!
    77
  947. It's Karl's.
    77
  948. C'est nouveau; pas d'origine
    77
  949. John Brooks Find me a university that offers such a degree and I'll talk to them. :)
    76
  950. +Tyler Peooples The only direct comparison I can make is to WWII explosive rifle ammo, which detonates after 3-4 inches of soft tissue penetration.
    76
  951. My Illuminati rules & regs. Why are people so obsessed with 6-pointed stars?
    76
  952. Yes, that's the plan.
    76
  953. I do not.
    76
  954. Sure - send me some .45 Mars ammo to use and I will be happy to.
    76
  955. +LittleMikey The term "automatic pistol" came into use to differential semi autos (aka self-loading pistols) from revolvers and other manually operated pistols. It can be confused with fully automatic, but those are generally called machine pistols.
    76
  956. I think a word with that many accent marks legally qualifies as an assault weapon.
    76
  957. CrazyAlify Pretty much standardized, with a few outliers.
    76
  958. It means extra carbon is added to the outer surface of the metal and hardened through heat treating. The hard layer is very shallow, living the metal in the center of the part soft. It is a simpler way to increase surface hardness than treating the part all the way through, and tends to leave a nice-looking pattern on the surface.
    76
  959. +Helter Smelter Is there one of those channels still? :)
    76
  960. I checked on my bathroom scale - it's 23 pounds unloaded. :)
    76
  961. +Kenny VanCleave Yes, on both counts. I won the Type 30 Arisaka that I did a video on a few auctions back.
    76
  962. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/how-to-become-a-professional-gun-nerd/
    76
  963. +EDSKaR That would be fun. :)
    75
  964. Different guy; only one "L".
    75
  965. +Exploatores Confederate arms are much scarcer than Union ones, and this auction includes a particularly impressive group of Confederate guns - so I'm taking the opportunity to look at most of them.
    75
  966. This would not be practical, as the flamethrower tanks are pressurized (unlike aircraft fuel tanks).
    75
  967. +MasterJawata That would make sense - thanks!
    75
  968. Eventually, yes.
    75
  969. Christmas.
    75
  970. Indeed! We missed you.
    75
  971. I know it's a boring answer, but I really think the weapons itself is a minor factor compared to the skill of its user. If I knew I was going into a gunfight, I would take the guns I have the most experience with and confidence in - my Ballester-Molina and either a Garand or AK. Not because they're the best guns around, but because I'm at my best with them.
    75
  972. We do have a Titan missile silo as a museum not far from where I live...been planning to do a video there at some point. :)
    75
  973. Name a common .30 caliber cartridge suitable for a small blowback action. I think that's the biggest reason nobody has made new ones.
    75
  974. +GuyKappe I own one, actually. Haven't had a chance to do video on it yet.
    75
  975. No, a steel-to-steel fit wouldn't be gastight. The case is needed to bridge the gap into the barrel so that the brass can expand under pressure to form a gas seal.
    74
  976. NOT A SWASTIKA, YOUTUBE
    74
  977. +AwesomeVindicator Thanks! :)
    74
  978. Yes, that one posts next month.
    74
  979. +Shao Zhang Nah, extra money goes to more gun video stuff.
    74
  980. Yeah, I meant windage and not elevation.
    74
  981. Not for a long time.
    74
  982. They virtually all do in slow motion.
    74
  983. MP38 -> MP40 as well.
    73
  984. Firearms above .50 inch are DDs (except for the exceptions); projectiles are DDs based on explosive content, not size.
    73
  985. dbmail545 That is not true. ATF can inspect premises of licensed dealers, but not private machine gun owners.
    73
  986. Unfortunately, the ATF requires specific markings (caliber, country of origin, serial number, importer name, and importer location) to be conspicuously marked on the frame of all imported guns. It's not up to the companies, and they would much rather not do it.
    73
  987. My guess was a vehicular PKT, but you could be right.
    73
  988. Ultimately, it all goes back to those Chinese hand-cannons. :)
    73
  989. Both.
    73
  990. Don't forget about Episode 2, also currently live! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hSZbo8Hvn4
    73
  991. This is far from my most-watched video, actually.
    73
  992. Yes, that's the same design.
    73
  993. Nope. I misassembled them myself once when working on this.
    73
  994. Yes, there is.
    73
  995. Oops.
    72
  996. +vonmazur1 Whoops - thanks for the correction!
    72
  997. Yes, the Breda 38 was quite good.
    72
  998. About 120 pounds total.
    72
  999. Dharma runs away when we shoot anything. :)
    72
  1000. I've been promising to do these for about a year now...
    72
  1001. PKx ANC1ENT Yes, that is correct.
    72
  1002. https://youtu.be/o6pVgM-tKA0
    72
  1003. The KP15 completely stripped is 1.024 pounds. Complete with carbine buffer and all other lower components it's 1.70 pounds (+/- about 1 ounce depending on which FCG parts).
    72
  1004. The Garand was legitimately the first military semiauto actually widely used in combat.
    72
  1005. No, I am not.
    72
  1006. Yes, one is coming.
    72
  1007. +Armageddon2077 Not yet, but I would like to!
    72
  1008. +Lucas Kroon Because they wanted to use a standard .30-06 chamber.
    72
  1009. +Kennard Lang Pretty much identical, I expect.
    72
  1010. ***** Because it was cold.
    71
  1011. Not that I am aware of.
    71
  1012. Out of American small arms, an M1 Garand.
    71
  1013. I expect it's just a tired magazine. Mags for these are rare, and a couple hundred dollars/euros each when you can find them.
    71
  1014. +Dave Hetrick Why do you assume the guy who loaned it to me had a higher opinion of it than I do?
    71
  1015. https://youtu.be/R7pSobtlfKI
    71
  1016. Ha! Yeah, it kinda is. :)
    71
  1017. I shoot what I can.
    71
  1018. Yeah, different definitions from different time periods. Today we think of smallbore as .22, but in the 1880s the standard rifle cartridges were .40-.50 caliber, and the 8mm (.32 cal) was a pretty dramatic shift downward in size.
    70
  1019. I always use the flag in use when and where the gun was designed (with the exception of Nazi Germany, because YouTube's algorithm flags swastikas). Sorry if some people find some of them upsetting.
    70
  1020. I spend a lot of time researching, and I really enjoy what I do. :)
    70
  1021. +hashbrown1969 Yep, I did one and it will post in about a week.
    70
  1022. The ball stops when it hits the rifling, until the pressure of firing presses it down the barrel.
    70
  1023. +Taras Z. Yukyukyuk. :)
    70
  1024. The early FAMAS had things that would be considered negatives, like needing specifically 55gr steel-cased ammo and not having a way to mount optics. However, it was a reliable and effective rifle that did exactly what it was designed for (it was not expected to mount optics, the steel-case ammo was produced for the military, etc).
    70
  1025. Just for the camera.
    70
  1026. +clothar23 If you were motivated, it could be done.
    70
  1027. I am a terrible person, sorry.
    70
  1028. The similarities between the Hi Point and VP70 are polymer frame, DA only trigger, striker firing, straight blowback action, and fixed barrel. Mechanically, they are basically identical. The VP70 is better made, but not intrinsically very different. The "HK" on the gri adds a thousand bucks to the price, though.
    70
  1029. +Rob Feldkamp Thanks!
    70
  1030. You can, but it's a bit wobbly.
    70
  1031. I'm really not sure how, but I managed to leave it out of the video, and didn't realize it until it had published. Whoops!
    69
  1032. Not sure when they will post, but I have one filmed on the 42 and one of the 42B, plus a couple of experimental 7.62mm versions.
    69
  1033. Yes.
    69
  1034. The Thompson would be almost my last choice for a submachine gun.
    69
  1035. henkeH2 Glad you like it! I do all my own research for these videos.
    69
  1036. Makes sense - thanks!
    69
  1037. THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO WIN! https://go.getenteredtowin.com/forgottenweapons DEADLINE to ENTER is TONIGHT 04/28/23 @ 11:59pm (PST).
    69
  1038. That's a Nuremberg city flag.
    69
  1039. The reason they are no longer used is that belt feed has generally replaced box magazines. This tactical role is filled today by the FN MAG and FN Minimi, PKM, MG3, etc. FWIW, the mag-fed LMG configuration of the Stoner 63 also used a top-mag configuration.
    69
  1040. They pretty much did after the war.
    69
  1041. Yes, there is also that.
    69
  1042. How strange that a scripted TV program would perpetuate a dumb myth.
    68
  1043. It's a bit hard to be an iconic weapon of a conflict that ended 4 years before it was produced...
    68
  1044. Thanks!
    68
  1045. +Lazicus No, almost never these days. Verdun occasionally. Back when I was at school, I enjoyed Jagged Alliance 2. :)
    68
  1046. It will publish in a few weeks.
    68
  1047. Rust and mud are quite different. Why don't you try it yourself?
    68
  1048. I'm pretty good with Chinese, and I know the Yugo mags, but the others are too similar for me (for now).
    68
  1049. +nomad8723 Ha! I wish! No, these belong to a friend of mine. My own collection is fairly extensive by most peoples' standards, but I have very few really expensive guns. Mostly things that are cheap because they are not widely appreciated. :)
    68
  1050. +KCMercenary223 It really is, as far as the locking system.
    68
  1051. There is.
    68
  1052. Why does is say "MP-44" on the side then?
    68
  1053. That's a good catch - I didn't think about a locking block being among the missing bits...
    68
  1054. It is fantastic new technology designed to separate fools from their $2000.
    67
  1055. Well, you will see Žiga's runs on Polenar Tactical at some point, and he won the match overall.
    67
  1056. Yes, and something like 4 or 5 companies do.
    67
  1057. +petpeeves117 You mean Holland & Holland? :)
    67
  1058. Oh, I definitely will!
    67
  1059. A better question would be why the US didn't adopt the PK...
    67
  1060. Yes, they most certainly are.
    67
  1061. Nah, it wiped off pretty easily.
    67
  1062. Just a mistake on my part - which has now been fixed. Sorry!
    67
  1063. +38Gaucho A front grip would make it into an NFA item rather than a simple handgun (legally).
    67
  1064. Too loud and you will frighten the pistol.
    67
  1065. Birdshot has no place in combat shotguns.
    67
  1066. I spent 2 years in Aero & Astro then transferred to the School of Technology and got an AS in MET.
    67
  1067. It's a really interesting story, also involving Carcanos, the kp/44 SMG, and Sam Cummings.
    67
  1068. You just have to look in the right places... :)
    67
  1069. Paul Mauser lost an eye in 1901 while working on a much earlier self-loading rifle design.
    67
  1070. The Owen is a close runner-up.
    67
  1071. Don't forget the Colt Offensive Handgun Weapon System entry! If also failed terribly.
    67
  1072. That? That's a fake Berthier.
    67
  1073. I will be doing that series on my next trip over there.
    66
  1074. +otm646 Little bit, yeah.
    66
  1075. Because it hasn't been published yet.
    66
  1076. Yes, eventually.
    66
  1077. It really feel much more comfortable than it looks. Rail handguards for the bottom are available, and they all have rails on top. In the configuration I have here, the factory scope is mounted on that rail and the cover mounted over it. Take off the cover, and you have a 12 inches of rail to mount anything you want.
    66
  1078. I will go back and shoot this one if you want - I'll use every round of ammo you send me.
    66
  1079. Friday.
    66
  1080. And there are still one or two more to go... :)
    66
  1081. I appreciate your effort, but I can assure you that my subtitles are accurate. :)
    66
  1082. In a couple weeks.
    66
  1083. Okay, true.
    65
  1084. +Nonstop Wheelie Yup, just 2. I made an offhand head shot and didn't need to push my luck. :)
    65
  1085. Only the British will get gin in BF1.
    65
  1086. An expired patent is not the same thing as open source. Patents cover general mechanisms, not exact dimensions. The patents have long ago expired from all the small arms in US service, but that doesn't mean you get any special access to a manufacturer's technical drawings.
    65
  1087. You guys measure distances in kilometers, which are much shorter than miles. So everything in Canada is obviously closer together than in the US.
    65
  1088. SMG has spent more than twice as long on these as Krieghoff and Rheinmetall originally did...
    65
  1089. +Bart Bols They were all attempts to start production of complex products in wartime in an area without a lot of industrial experience while under blockade. They weren't dumb or incompetent, they were just working a very uphill battle. Even in the best situations starting up a firearms factory is a daunting task.
    65
  1090. The suppressor is separate; just one stamp for the gun.
    65
  1091. Get Entered to win this very rare Mamba! https://www.fanathem.com/forgottenweapons DEADLINE to ENTER is 12/20/2024 @ 11:59 PM PST
    65
  1092. Bourbon, in this case.
    65
  1093. Aberdeen Proving Ground wrote a report on their test firing after WWII that you could read...no current owner is going to want to shoot them because of their very limited lifespan.
    65
  1094. I am a colonial first and foremost. :)
    65
  1095. Yes, worse than the Nagant. The Nagant is not a very good pistol (slow to load, underpowered, slow to unload, terrible DA trigger), but it is certainly usable. The LHC is simply good for nothing.
    65
  1096. The fellow running the camera on this video (and the G43 one) is the rifle's owner, a vet who is running on about 1/3 of a lung. If I had realized that his breathing would be as noticeable, I would have used a different mic setup - but I didn't realize it when we were filming.
    65
  1097. Yup.
    65
  1098. I have a friend who bought a fake cased 20-shot Broomhandle Mauser for $15k knowing that it was a fake, because it was still a really nice gun.
    65
  1099. As far as I am aware, there are no patents, no drawings, and nothing else.
    65
  1100. In theory, yes - but range staff have so little exposure to open bolt guns that they don't know and just have you follow the same procedure as closed bolt guns.
    65
  1101. China used them extensively, as did Thailand.
    65
  1102. A week too slow ;) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGK3lbfDCml/
    65
  1103. Ok, but you'll have to wait until next week. ;)
    65
  1104. I hate your left ear.
    64
  1105. It was Tales of the Gun, on the History Channel.
    64
  1106. "Sh" is not a single letter in English.
    64
  1107. May Sparkle Just trying to keep track of the brass.
    64
  1108. Everyone makes mistakes from time to time.
    64
  1109. Done.
    64
  1110. It's the other way around - it's always been a real thing, and someone decided to put it in a computer game.
    64
  1111. You know how I always say forgotten weapons dot com in the intro?
    64
  1112. Yes...and I have a video on it coming later. :)
    64
  1113. Or a dumpster.
    64
  1114. A special blend of cosmoline and organic beeswax.
    64
  1115. +Moto Rad Yes, it would.
    64
  1116. YouTube turned them off; I have no idea why. They just do that sometimes now.
    64
  1117. Galgenvogel Really depends on the steel composition and heat treat, plus the viability of the mainspring. It could work fine for thousands of rounds, or it could beat itself to pieces in a few mags.

  1118. I would be happy to accept a one-time donation via PayPal at admin@forgottenweapons.com. Thanks!
    64
  1119. Thanks! :)
    64
  1120. They were fired one-handed, because these were not developing a lot of pressure, so thus not a lot of recoil either.
    63
  1121. +Ad Q Diez Almost...

  1122. Funny how what was old becomes new again. :)

  1123. +Circie Quisling Money makes anything possible in any place and any time in history.
    63
  1124. Yes.
    63
  1125. Considering the rifles used in the Normandy invasion were sealed in plastic bags, I don't think it would have been a big issue.
    63
  1126. ***** Y'know, you can see that the bolt is not in the rifle there... :)
    63
  1127. +North Florida Gun Guy Arguably, yes.
    63
  1128. +The Hilo623 No, because I am discussing a real-life gun.
    63
  1129. We waited until the match was ready to start to turn the sun off.
    63
  1130. +Nicholas P Bachinski Yup, very much like a pressure washer plus being way too close to a big campfire.
    63
  1131. No, you guys just need a more pronounceable language. :)
    63
  1132. They were thinking that they would not leave a wounded man in the open.
    63
  1133. +Cheeki Breeki I tried it. Blocked in most of Europe.
    63
  1134. Thanks!
    63
  1135. Literally nothing I put on the table was a machine gun. :)
    63
  1136. I don't believe I have ever seen one available for sale. Maybe Rock Island Auction has had one at some point? But basically, if you have to ask you can't afford it.
    63
  1137. To be fair, obituaries pretty much only ever say good things.
    62
  1138. The gods of history will strike you dead on the spot if you convert this to 7x57.
    62
  1139. That's the number I have seen as well, but I haven't tried to verify it.
    62
  1140. Too many bureaucracies! :)
    62
  1141. It is not federally regulated, as it is not a firearm by definition. Some states has laws about muzzle energy of airguns, and Arcflash does not ship to states where this would exceed those limits. For their own protection, they consider the GR-1 to be an airgun, even though it's technically not.
    62
  1142. It's fully functional, and in excellent condition. We didn't shoot it because it wasn't practical to get to a range during that visit, and because that pistol is probably worth about as much as my house.
    62
  1143. Safety is number one, fun is number two.
    62
  1144. glockensig All of the above.
    62
  1145. The .30-06 one is mine; the 8mm was someone else's.
    62
  1146. +BUUUrrrrrrrrrrrrr Sorry, but "Tanker" Mausers are a fiction invented to sell commercially cut-down rifles. Mitchell''s Mausers is one of the larger perpetrators of this stuff.
    62
  1147. Guilty...
    62

    62
  1152. The rim on .45 Colt was to thin and narrow to extract reliably in a Winchester. Modern spec .45 Colt has a much more substantial rim.
    61
  1153. I know, right!?
    61
  1154. This auction doesn't happen until May 8. The one you saw was from 5 years ago; an example with ALL the accessories.

  1161. He said the MAS 49 was more reliable but less accurate than the M1. Which is entirely accurate, in my opinion.
    61
  1162. Yes, I did.
    61
  1163. Requirement for everyone. It allows people to mimic a draw from any number of carry locations that would not be considered safe on the range (pocket, ankle, shoulder, etc).
    61
  1164. Considering the recaptured all of Serbia before the Armistice, I would say they are entitled to it.
    61
  1165. Blank cartridge.
    61
  1166. Theoretically, yes.
    61
  1167. Nope.
    61
  1168. When you fire, the slide slowly starts to move back from recoil. The action is only locked from the time of ignition to the time that recoil overcomes the slide's inertia. Until then, it is literally inertia holding the slide in place.
    61
  1169. Actually, the high-capacity drum is one of the reasons it was used by the Royal Flying Corps. Its problems were because of the overly complex mechanism, not the magazine.
    61
  1170. FYI, my house is officially a sanctuary city for the aforementioned deported rifles. ;)
    61
  1171. 7.5 Swiss Ordnance.
    61
  1172. Certainly the first to be widely adopted, yes.
    61
  1173. Yep, I have a whole video on the R2: https://youtu.be/DZeZdH-EBrA

  1177. I did not, but I may in a couple months, depending on how the experiment with InRange goes.
    60
  1178. Yep, leather seals. The article I linked to in the description has some excellent photos of the internal components.
    60
  1179. amyhuk Many of the commercial guns were made in .280 Ross, but the military ones were all .303 British.
    60
  1180. Looks like all the other Battlefield games with a vaguely WWI-ish skin. Same guns, just skinned to look like WWI-ish stuff. If you want an actual WWI game, play Verdun.
    60
  1181. +Theodore Krap That was a dummy training piece.
    60
  1182. No, but it might fire out of battery.
    60
  1183. That isn't H&K's fault. :)
    60
  1184. The gun is in Europe, and had to be deactivated to comply with local laws. Very unfortunate.
    60
  1185. +McBandit Hope Because Mosin Nagants are not particularly good rifles.
    60
  1186. +TheKrensada As in the price announced when the auctioneer whacks the gavel - going once, going twice, sold. That price does not include the buyer's premium, which can vary depending on method of payment (cash vs credit card, mostly).
    60
  1187. I'd buy a .22LR repro too!
    60
  1188. Yeah, derp. :)
    60
  1189. That will be one of the series.
    60
  1190. We will do a video on that question on InRange one of these days...
    60
  1191. +swoosh50 Veprs and Saigas were not around when this was lobbied into NFA status.
    60
  1192. Yes, we can definitely ship to France, although the shipping cost is quite high. If you have another friend who wants a copy, you can save a lot on shipping by ordering together - we can ship up to 6 copies for a single shipping fee. Also, I did have a chance to visit the reserve collection at the museum! Lots of really interesting piece there!
    60
  1193. So you're saying I should not make a video of me drinking an Appletini while sporterizing a Springfield?
    60
  1194. Both of those video post Saturday - my M39 run here on Forgotten Weapons, and my WWSD run on InRange.
    60
  1195. Yes, I was pretty confident shooting it. There's a difference (often overlooked) between a poorly made gun and a crude or simple gun. The VG1-5 is certainly crude and simple, but it was made well enough to be quite safe.
    60
  1196. It just vaguely fits; would not actually function. Not sure of the make.
    60
  1197. Also useful if you want a really quiet suppressed .22 - locking the bolt for each shot eliminates the noise of the bolt running open and closed.
    60
  1198. 8mm Mauser
    60
  1199. Dantick09 The P38 was deemed better.
    60
  1200. +JayCee Kali Sure, I would be very interested.
    60
  1201. I'm sure you could find someone willing to police bras for you.
    60
  1202. Right? It's very cool.
    59
  1203. Yes
    59
  1204. I have seen a couple in museums, but not yet handled one. When I do, I will definitely do a video on it.
    59
  1205. You are thinking of, "what sorts of lessons did the British learn from watching Breaker Morant".
    59
  1206. Link is in the description. :)
    59
  1207. 88pie88 Heh...I just turned 31. :)
    59
  1208. Wrong Armalite. :)

    59
  1210. Nope, I've done a few from the early 1600s.
    59
  1211. It's a Jämä kilt from Varusteleka, but they have discontinued it.
    59
  1212. Hobgoblin1975 I suggest "Desperate Measures" by Darrin Weaver.
    59
  1213. Yes, by a lot.
    59
  1214. It posts on Tuesday.
    59
  1215. Who ordered pepperoni and cosmoline?
    59
  1216. FWIW, the controlled part on the Maxim has periodically vacillated between the left and right sideplates.
    59
  1217. +ian durbridge We considered fair, and decided against it.
    59
  1218. I don't know that it was mechanically simpler, but it does have training advantages. A selector switch has a lot of potential to be confused with a safety, and you need to remember what position you last left it in. With two separate triggers, the gun is always in the same condition, and thus simpler to use. Of course, there are also advantages to the selector, so take your pick.
    59
  1219. Pretty much...
    59
  1220. No, they were not.
    59
  1221. Yes, Bonnie had a cut-down M1918 (stolen from a National Guard armory) that she apparently liked.
    59
  1222. Yes, they are still making them. My understanding is that right now they are selling bare receivers to people on the waiting list, sot hat the gun will legally be in those peoples' hands. Then they are having them sent back sequentially for assembly into finished guns. That seems as good a precaution against potential new laws as possible at this point.
    59
  1223. Steinel makes the ammo.
    59
  1224. As far as I know, 4 of them exist today.

    59
  1228. Thanks!
    58
  1229. London dry gin, Plymouth gin, Old Tom gin, and warm beer. Done.
    58
  1230. It's about what I expected.
    58
  1231. Thanks, glad you liked it! I generally don't take something apart at an auction house if I don't have a pretty good idea how it works, so I don't have to worry about getting it back together.
    58
  1232. There are lots of really ratty condition C96 pistols reimported from China that would be good foundations for a project like that.
    58
  1233. They already did, but you didn't buy enough so they stopped.
    58
  1234. Yes, it certainly can be.
    58
  1235. The LDP became the Kommando, and I do have a video on one of those filmed. Don't have a publication date for it yet though.
    58
  1236. That video will come.
    58
  1237. Glad to hear it - there are 7 more in the pipeline.
    58
  1238. There will be tomorrow...
    58
  1239. Genetics.
    58
  1240. +Helena Bingham Done.
    57
  1241. It's not that a shotgun isn't a useful gun on its own, but it doesn't bring any particularly useful capabilities when you already have a pistol and carbine. How many 3-gun shooters would actually carry a shotgun in real life in addition to the other two guns? So why make it part of the match, where it's more stuff to buy and for the most part is just about seeing who can reload the fastest?
    57
  1242. +Bananaft Send me a Stechkin.
    57
  1243. Indeed.
    57
  1244. It’s wasn’t used for most people; just a few of us on the media squad as part of Polenar’s filming
    57
  1245. It's not a forgotten weapon - but it's important to know about the common guns in order to have context for the unusual, experimental, or prototype ones. And, of course, the very odd weapons are much more difficult to acquire for video, so they tend to receive written coverage on my main web site rather than video coverage.
    57
  1246. +crashandburnbirner My other consideration is that especially with guns like these, it is worth looking at multiple examples. That let's you find patterns in features or markings that cannot be discerned from individual guns alone.
    57
  1247. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3zQb3KZpNM
    57
  1248. The FAL is not accurate enough for this role.
    57
  1249. "Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire"
    57
  1250. Long recoil is good for that.
    57
  1251. He did not. His inspiration came form the Colliers, and he probably was not aware of the Puckle.
    57
  1252. Spinning a round ball will still stabilize it. Think baseball.
    57
  1253. Yes, it would - I must have been getting tired and not thinking about it properly when I recorded this. Sorry!
    57
  1254. They were never actually involved, and none of their parts have been in the rifles since 2020
    57
  1255. I left them to dry outside over night. But it rained. D'oh!
    57
  1256. Imagine if the territorial defense forces had been able to just show up with their own zeroed weapons, plenty of magazines, and competition experience?
    57
  1257. Eventually I will find one...
    56
  1258. RadzMexicano Nope, no way to lock it in the gun without the stock.
    56
  1259. munkSWE88 Correct. It would become a short-barreled rifle, requiring NFA registration.
    56
  1260. +Daniel Taylor Not watching Sons of Guns was no mistake.
    56
  1261. Yeah, museum policy is to wear gloves with everything.

    56
  1263. Easily. Magazines are hard.
    56
  1264. Light bolt and heavy mainspring.
    56
  1265. They are all pretty much the same in terms of quality.
    56
  1266. +Chad Yelland They get ejected out a slot in the side of the hopper.
    56
  1267. Those were 20ga hulls, which were there just to make the drum look loaded. I don't know if a .410 round would chamber and fire, but on a gun that valuable I would be very hesitant to try it.
    56
  1268. I was waiting for you to send me some ammo, but you never did. :(
    56
  1269. One more :)
    56
  1270. Boredout454 Weird, huh?
    56
  1271. +Ngarewyrd Shurasae Yes, we did coordinate these two :)
    56
  1272. I have several more videos with him coming in the next couple weeks.
    56
  1273. It really isn't.
    56
  1274. Impossible. He's too tall, and we wouldn't fit in the same camera shot. :(
    56
  1275. You can do $1 by manually entering it. Edit: scroll to the bottom of the pledge options
    56
  1276. Basically, roller locked guns use the rollers just as round locking lugs, requiring some external force to unlock (short recoil, in this case). Roller-delayed blowback designs use a carefully-calculated wedge design to split recoil force in the receiver and the barrel, thus slowing down how fast the breech opens. I did a video called "Last Ditch Innovation" that looks at both systems in detail on two prototype late-war German rifles. That video will give you a better description.
    56
  1277. While I really like using the Hakim - and it worked better for me than I was expecting - I would definitely choose the M1 over it. The reason is the sights - the M1 has much better sights than the Hakim. The M1 is also faster to reload, but that's not as significant as the difference in the sights. That said, a good shooter with a Hakim is not something to underestimate.
    56
  1278. I did not know - but I just emailed them to see if foreigners can participate!
    55
  1279. Very cool!
    55
  1280. I doubt it will - most museums have very little funding to buy new items.
    55
  1281. Very common, considering the number of Chinese ones made and imported in the 80s. There have not been any commercial-scale reproductions of the 20-shot fixed magazine version.
    55
  1282. Yes, go for it.
    55
  1283. BaldPolishBiotechnol I think you misheard me say "mountED", not "mountAIN".
    55
  1284. IAmTHEGoD0fHELLFIRE If you were the GoD0fDICTION I would have no choice but to defer to you. As the GoD0fHELLFIRE, though, I do need insist that both pronunciations are commonly used in different geographical areas and both are fine.
    55
  1285. Yeah, I'm not going to.
    55
  1286. I don't think the price precludes shooting. It wouldn't be the first gun of that value I've had the opportunity to shoot (and I'm not talking about high-end shorting arms). Shootability, IMO, is based on mechanical condition, not resale value. Of course, I realize that lots of people don't share that opinion, and that's fine.
    55
  1287. +Scary_Smurf Well, Richard the Lionhearted was basically sniped by a guy with a crossbow in 1199.
    55
  1288. The rules are neither honestly documented nor uniformly enforced.
    55
  1289. If you want to buy it and do that, you are welcome to. :)
    55
  1290. Yes.
    55
  1291. When you lose a war, your weapons become property of the people who beat you. That's just how it works. Don't like it? Don't start a war, or don't lose.
    55
  1292. No damage.

    55
  1295. +TomasPabon You've already seen a bunch of my guns...and I would rather bring them out one or a few at a time and put them in proper context than do a video that's just a big mess of everything at once. Nothing to be gained from a video like that, except for people to render judgement on the collection as a whole and see if they have more or fewer guns than I do. Nothing useful will come of that...
    55
  1296. The AR absolutely has a sealed piston. That's what the gas rings are there for. And it's irrelevant to the question of when a conversion moving the piston to the top of the barrel would be beneficial.
    54
  1297. I would say the Fosbery has a bit less felt recoil but a bit more muzzle climb. Both pretty subtle differences, though.
    54
  1298. So it does - thanks! I will watch that auction and buy it if the price doesn't go too high.
    54
  1299. Alas, I did not.
    54
  1300. The S&W revolving rifles were not gas seal designs, which is a large part of why they were such a commercial failure.
    54
  1301. Thanks - I don't read Arabic, and was relying on a third-party explanation of the script.
    54
  1302. Sorry, there is only one of me.
    54
  1303. Wolf.
    54
  1304. I would still reject that title today.
    54
  1305. It is very interesting to see the different doctrines applied to firearms. The British prohibition on using a cartridge to poke out the retaining pin is based on a blanket prohibition of using cartridges as tool, because of safety concerns. However, many other nations deliberately designed things to be disassembled with cartridges, because they were used in specific safe ways (and were a tool that a soldier would always have).
    54
  1306. Arno Schmidt Unlike all the other languages that come up, I actually speak a little bit of Spanish. :)
    54
  1307. Basically, the small arms developmental priority in the 1920s went to developing the new 7.5x54mm cartridge and a light machine gun to use it. Experience from WWI showed the important of the LMG, and replacing the Chauchat was deemed more important than a new rifle. Bureaucracy and budgets made that a slow process, and by the time war was looming in the 30s, there was not enough time to finish the semiauto rifle (the MAS 1940).
    54
  1308. +Let's Cringe I have already done the Colt 1855, Boys, and several types of Pedersen...

  1320. You have to submit fingerprints with every form. Even if you send in two forms physically in the same envelope, you have to include two sets of fingerprints (actually 4 cards, since one form requires two cards). It's really dumb.
    53
  1321. +Scott Yi It's a complicated legal situation, but some machine guns are legal for individual ownership.
    53
  1322. When I find one, sure.
    53
  1323. +David Desoer Correct.
    53
  1324. Guacamole maybe?
    53
  1325. +Padi 5Star Books. Lots of books.
    53
  1326. Username checks out...
    53
  1327. Tough cookies.
    53
  1328. +Liam Talty Pietta made them.
    53
  1329. MarcinPrzecinek83 I considered that, but it seems to be legit to me.
    53
  1330. I would love to get my hands on any of the SPIW project prototypes...hasn't happened yet though.
    53
  1331. Yes.
    53
  1332. Son of a Zombie You are reading too much into a simple wording choice. Adding his birthplace is just an extra piece of information about the man, and was not done with any intended political overtone.
    53
  1333. I am not undercutting the professional design community, because I would not be hiring a professional designer to do this anyway. If the contest turns out to be a total flop, James and I will do the design ourselves. While I can see the rationale for paying a royalty for cover art on a popular book whose sales might be largely dictated by a catchy cover, this is a technical reference guide to French rifles. Its sales success will be dictated by the quality and accuracy of the content, not the cover image.
    53
  1334. The assault weapon import ban (Bush, 1989) never expired.
    53
  1335. +BitBurgers Yes, I have talked with them. Haven't gotten my hands on one of the rifles yet, but I hope to in the future.
    53
  1336. Better on both accounts, in my opinion.
    53
  1337. Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup.
    52
  1338. We plan to! :)
    52
  1339. FWIW, the Borchardt was the direct parent of the Luger. It was a pretty cumbersome pistol and didn't sell well, so Mauser (who owned the rights to it) gave Georg Luger the job of revising it into something more commercially viable. Luger changed the grip angle and moved the mainspring into the grip (instead of the big bulge on the back of the Borchardt frame) and the rest is history.
    52
  1340. Nothing happened to it; I still have it an am very happy to. But Patrick also has one which he likes shooting, and his is nicer than mine.
    52
  1341. The Beretta 38A is a better gun than the MP40 in basically every way.
    52
  1342. Greco Maskara Thanks!
    52
  1343. Technically a lever, I suppose.
    52
  1344. +polymath7 At some point I should do some more coverage of the pre-percussion systems, but I really need to study up on them myself first.
    52
  1345. At this thing's intended range? No, it wouldn't. A 1-inch barrel is enough to stabilize a bullet, though (FWIW).
    52

  1350. Braver than me...
    52
  1351. I used to work in the solar power industry, and Kaco was a partner in some big projects we did.
    51
  1352. Prvi Partisan makes new 8mm Lebel that you should be able to order online. It is good ammo, and will be perfect for a Berthier.
    51
  1353. Every chapter will start with, "Frankly..." :)
    51
  1354. My pleasure - thanks for making them available to people!
    51
  1355. +Anusideral Yes, for $27,500 (first line of the video description).
    51
  1356. YouTube demonetizes the video if I use the real flag icon.
    51
  1357. I'll have to call you back, I'm in the middle of filming a Q&A.
    51
  1358. I do, after they sell.
    51
  1359. +ƁᴇғᴏʀᴇƮʜᴇļɴᴛᴇʀɴᴇᴛ Even the NRA's National Firearms Museum, which displays something like 2,000 guns, has twice as many more in storage.
    51
  1360. That's what happens when you capture a bunch of German scientists and engineers. :)
    51
  1361. +Ryan Ulick Yes.
    51
  1362. Actually, the potential danger of the Bannerman conversions is not related to headspace. The potential issue is the barrel being overstressed at the case mouth, and rupturing. That could happen without any indication of excessive headspace.
    51
  1363. Ejection is basically the same for both blow forward and long recoil actions, since in both cases the bolt locks back while the barrel moves forward. Basically, a spring loaded plunger ejector is constantly pushing on the case, and that throws it clear as soon as the barrel moves clear of the front edge of the case.
    51
  1364. The same thing I read at the beginning.
    51
  1365. ***** You really need to shoot it to appreciate it.
    51
  1366. When this gun was made the was no Peoples' Republic of China. It didn't exist yet.
    51
  1367. Definitely - I cover it in my kp/44 video here: https://youtu.be/7EFFCoqCWmI
    51
  1368. It's the only cold-weather hat I own.
    51
  1369. That will be volume 2 or 3.
    51
  1370. +Stanley Scalf A long, long time.
    51
  1371. It will be posting next week.
    51
  1372. Yes, the whole half-moon thing is the magazine, and it is removable. The gunner carried pouches for six, IIRC, and the assistant gunner carried a bunch more.
    51
  1373. Oops - I meant Monday the 15th.
    51
  1374. When I can find one...
    51

  1377. +Greg Summers I have some video of the Bren drums. They are really finicky.
    51
  1378. NOT PUBLISHED YET.
    50
  1379. Thanks!
    50
  1380. Yes, but I did not go into any depth about the rifle's development.
    50
  1381. No, not on this trip.
    50
  1382. +Ian Dalton There aren't any reproductions, sorry.
    50
  1383. Cool! :)
    50
  1384. Well, thank you!
    50
  1385. Not enough actual benefit for the extra cost.
    50
  1386. My mistake - the endorsement appears to have been from Kit Carson Jr. This, however, opens into a very interesting rabbit hole, as there appear to have been more than a few alleged "Kit Carson Jr"s, including one who tried to join the Buffalo Bill Show and one who tried to enter West Point. As best I can tell from a brief look, the true Kit Carson Jr may have been a preacher? Seems like an interesting subject to look into one day. Thank you for pointing out that pretty obvious inconsistency!
    50
  1387. You are probably right...
    50
  1388. Indeed! But now I must leave to go run errands on my velocipede. :)
    50
  1389. The Thompson SMG was not developed until 1919 in its earliest form. The BAR was used in the last couple weeks of the war. It was held back fro a month or two in an effort to fully equip units with it, rather than just employing them piecemeal.
    50
  1390. +Fedaykin24 I would love to - I have talked with him, but he's on the other side of the country and nothing has worked out yet.
    50
  1391. All these videos, and people are still more interested in pronunciation than history.
    50
  1392. Get a lot more of the process done (layout, editing, technical review) before doing a presale. Also, knowing what I do now about the editing process, I can write my next one much better, so it will require less editing work. And spend more time in advance finding vintage photos that are either public domain or easily licensed.
    50
  1393. +Antek 1854 I just posted some photos on the Forgotten Weapons Facebook page
    50
  1394. Yes.
    50
  1395. Thanks, Balázs!
    50
  1396. I would like to, yes.
    50
  1397. Haha - yes, it certainly is!
    50
  1398. Cool, thank you!
    50
  1399. Never seen it happen with another gun before. I'm not sure exactly what caused it here.
    50
  1400. +Kyle S Because 1911 is the military designation and by far the most common variety.
    50
  1401. The Puckle is in the book. :)
    50
  1402. My preference would be this.
    50
  1403. Nintendiano Yes. Cool guy with an impressive collection. :)
    50
  1404. +MrMakabar Whoops!
    50
  1405. The guy who films, hosts, edits, researches, and publishes the channel is incompetent.
    50
  1406. Mixed lots of ammunition.
    49
  1407. Yes, you could.
    49
  1408. Only if you have a time machine.
    49
  1409. The only path to removing firearm ownership restrictions that actually works is incremental improvement. The only way to eventually remove the registry begins with making it simpler for people to get NFA items. When more people have them they become more normalized, and when they are more normalized they are harder to ban.
    49
  1410. As far as I can tell, they performed just fine. They were dropped for logistical reasons, because Mosins were more prevalent.
    49
  1411. Yes, 147 grain. I don't recall the brand, sorry.
    49
  1412. I believe he was in the prestigious Order of the White Feather.
    49
  1413. It was a live round, not a blank.
    49
  1414. Easy - I would not replace the AR. :)
    49
  1415. +Kevin R I believe this is one of my very first...
    49
  1416. Small Arms of WW2: Soviet Union is available for preorder here: https://www.headstamppublishing.com/ww2-soviet-union For European customers, we have a specific shipping option to reduce your costs: https://www.headstampbook.com
    49
  1417. Practically speaking? Zero. But it is the law, and it behooves one to know it.
    49
  1418. Lol.
    49
  1419. The match is still running - Scout and Armored divisions shoot today and tomorrow. Once Karl has a chance to get home, he will get our footage compiled and posted. :)
    49
  1420. Actually, I bid $6000, and then RIA tacks on a 15% buyer's fee.
    49
  1421. Waffen Tot It tends to heat up really fast; that was the primary reason for moving to the T-handle on the later guns.
    49
  1422. We plan to continue the European option on future books, but it's only viable for us when we can ship from the printer directly to Europe - so we can only do it when we run a new printing. Once the current European stock is sold out, it won't be refilled.
    49
  1423. SEMMERLING I suppose I don't understand why using material well beyond spec and doing an inordinate amount of inspection is considered a good thing. That's why these things cost $4,000, when they shouldn't need to. Same thing for saying that requiring hand fitted magazines is a plus - it's really not. That means that your QC is poor enough that parts aren't interchangeable. If you are deliberately hand-making each gun, then fine - but again that's what leads to them costing four grand and (not surprisingly) utterly failing in the commercial marketplace. It had some niche advantages when it was first produced, but today? Save $3000 and buy a Boberg in .45. It's basically the same size and is semiauto. Speaking of which, can you point me to any information on this semiauto Semmerling?
    49
  1424. I think those stories are a big ol' pile. The .30 carbine has significantly more muzzle energy than the .357 Magnum, and I've yet to hear anyone claim that a heavy winter coat will stop a .357. A more likely explanation is that the guy with the carbine simply missed.
    49
  1425. It was a serious fail - I actually shot myself accidentally with this pistol three times while trying to film it.
    49
  1426. ClockCutter Dusty Peekeekoot I agree, you should get me a better camera! :)

    47
  1459. To oversimplify a bit, both armies discovered that fancy sabers were not really combat effective. So the Japanese adopted a better sword, and the US adopted the Thompson SMG.

    47
  1464. +stefan grubbe Not at all - I encourage additional informative links!
    47
  1465. Smokeless, I believe. The 1896 Began ammunition was definitely smokeless.
    47
  1466. Yes.
    47
  1467. I have literally zero control over what ads YouTube plays.
    47
  1468. +Jari Heiska It ensures that the firing pin will properly discharge the primer, and not just push it into the powder.
    47
  1469. Go for it. I'm also left-handed myself.
    47
  1470. It is not something I like seeing, but I do not have control over the ads that are run.
    47
  1471. +DeadCamper The sights are offset to the side of the magazine.
    47
  1472. Peter Timowreef Yes, typically as observers' guns.
    47
  1473. As the slide goes forward, a lip at the very back of it pushes the next round forward out of the magazine far enough to clear the feed lips. Then the barrel comes back onto the round and slides it up onto the breechface,
    47
  1474. Sorry...I don't know how I managed to upload a low-res version, but I'm on the road now and can't fix it. :(
    47
  1475. Exactly.
    47
  1476. LMG - magazine fed, rifle caliber, bipod fired.
    47
  1477. Mafoozle A little of both - in this case I actually had an English-language manual. However, I can usually figure out disassembly of unfamiliar guns pretty well.
    47
  1478. Good point - I didn't think about the Ruby, or the other Spanish pistols bought by the British, Italians, etc.
    46
  1479. They must be - I've never managed to find it on the shelf! :)
    46
  1480. Wood stock, sheet metal front grip.
    46
  1481. YouTube demonetizes the video if I use the real flag icon.
    46
  1482. Thomas Myers Yeah...over time the requirements have gotten stricter, resulting in much uglier import marks. They used to allow marking on the barrel, and in smaller font - you'll find a lot of older imports marked very discreetly underneath the muzzle. But no more. :(
    46
  1483. +xmeda I think the gerat 06H was the best.
    46
  1484. Yes, there are some pretty nice semiauto conversions of the real vz61, and I'll definitely be doing a video on them (and the full auto version) eventually.
    46
  1485. How old do you think I am?
    46
  1486. They have been invited, and we are excited to have them there. :)
    46
  1487. Yes, it was pretty noticeable in person. It's an artifact of the locking system, I think.
    46
  1488. Yeah, the Type 94 pistol was a poor design because of its exposed sear bar - although it was a 1930s design. Japanese weapons were pretty universally well made, and problems were due to design, not workmanship.
    46
  1489. I don't think so.
    46
  1490. I don't know, but I would guess maybe the 1970s? The vast majority are less than 20 years old.

    46
  1495. +Sungazer He is.
    46
  1496. I see what you did there... :)
    46
  1497. Between the intel services ransacking all the German factories at the end of the war and the current collector interest, I am pretty confident we have a really good understanding of the German small arms programs. Probably a lot more unknown stuff from the Allied side.
    46
  1498. +Vulf Almasy Ian is not for sale! :)
    46
  1499. Well, the Chauchat is really the only example of full auto long recoil.
    46
  1500. +douro20 Yes, it does.
    46
  1501. +Adoring Fan Yes, I suppose you could.
    46
  1502. I knew someone would ask - I can't remember. I did pass the class, though.
    46
  1503. I bought it locally in Finland, and left the unused portion with a friend here. Not worth the cost of shipping it home.
    46
  1504. +Murica 1776 I would like to see some documentation of that.
    46
  1505. Any time he wants to come, we'd love to have him!
    46
  1506. It's not.
    46
  1507. Bad primers cause hang fires.
    46
  1508. Either the breech ring would be unable to hold the pressure of firing, or the unsupported section of the case between the chamber and breechblock would rupture on firing.
    46
  1509. I was in a museum.
    46
  1510. The Mark IV was in .44 Magnum. The Mark I was in .45 WinMag (and some other calibers).
    46
  1511. Yes, I actually filmed this for the previous Regional auction, but the gun was moved to this upcoming one.
    46
  1512. No, revolvers are far better.
    46
  1513. I don't get paid to do reviews.
    46
  1514. Dutch is simply German pronunciation of French spelling, right? :)
    45
  1515. IAmTHEGoD0fHELLFIRE Both pronunciations are equally valid.
    45
  1516. +Spark Gap They were pretty much all failures. Some were better than others, but none really became successful.
    45
  1517. I would have liked the Darne Lewis gun...
    45
  1518. Unfortunately, I have no control or input into the ads that are run.
    45
  1519. When they jumped at Crete, the Fallschirmjager took a lot of casualties while descending on parachutes and armed with just pistols (their weapons were dropped in separate containers. This was part of the reason for developing the FG-42, including the steep grip angle of the 1st model (to allow steep downward fire from the parachute). It was to be a compact weapon that could be carried on the jump and serve as both rifle and support machine gun.
    45
  1520. +krmould Thanks!
    45
  1521. Makes sense...
    45
  1522. It functions just like a Mauser.
    45
  1523. TheCarlos840 Yep...much like we refer to "Springfield".
    45
  1524. Thanks - that explains the company name.
    45
  1525. The FAL and SLR are effectively identical.
    45
  1526. +M85FSLUVR Neither of them has said anything either way to me. You can see the estimated prices by checking the auction house catalog page, linked in the video description.
    45

    45
  1529. That is for me to know and you to not bid against me on. ;)
    45
  1530. PPU is the only current manufacturer of 8mm Lebel ammo, and theirs works in both "N" and non-"N" marked rifles. The downside is that is costs a bit over $1/round. I generally buy mine from SG Ammo: https://www.sgammo.com/product/prvi-partizan/20-round-box-8x50r-lebel-200-grain-fmj-ammo-prvi-partizan-pp82
    45
  1531. My research indicated the US was either uninvolved completely, or won the war single-handed. Tough to say.
    45
  1532. Thanks - I should have done more research on the armor! As you can clearly see, it's not my speciality...
    45
  1533. Yeah, it was the 600 in 9x19, which was the same gun, just in a different caliber.
    45
  1534. +rjonzen34 Yes, it is.
    45
  1535. They did make at least one experimental FG42 in Kurz. However, the FG was a Luftwaffe project, and those guys weren't interested in the short round as the Wehrmacht was. Keep in mind that the FG42 was intended to replace the MG34 as well as the bolt action rifle, so the Kurz cartridge wouldn't really have met the design intent of the gun.
    45
  1536. It's a forward assist for pushing the bolt closed.
    45
  1537. +Michael W. If you can wait 8 dyas, I have one already scheduled for publication. :)
    45
  1538. Johnny Smith Yes, I agree that it was.
    45
  1539. Publishing time zone mismatch; it's live now.
    45
  1540. Da.
    45
  1541. That's called an accumulation. :)
    45
  1542. Because it hasn't published yet. :)
    45
  1543. Despite firing an intermediate cartridge, this weapon was officially designated maschinenpistole. So was the AK in East German service, for that matter (MPi).
    45
  1544. While I didn't start shooting until I was in my teens, I have plenty of friends who had their first guns at age 5 or 6. Used with supervision, there is no reason a child of that age cannot start learning marksmanship and safe gun handling
    44
  1545. Hundreds of thousands of standard Sauer 38H pistols were made, but only a dozen or two of these presentation models.
    44
  1546. +Mark Schwartz It was intended to be fixed; they would not have issued multiple mags to soldiers.
    44
  1547. The full version with hand loading information (not permitted on YouTube) is available here: https://forgottenweapons.vhx.tv/videos/black-powder-ep-5-app
    44
  1548. No, not yet.
    44
  1549. They aren't that inaccurate - you can make hits out to 100m with a little practice, and 200m if you're good.
    44
  1550. Couldn't agree on a reserve price, consignor changed their mind about selling, that sort of stuff.
    44
  1551. +Anglo Spanish Racing I spent a long time listening to people who knew more than me and reading everything I could find.
    44
  1552. I wish! My income covers food, rent, utilities, ammo, buying guns, traveling inside the US, and traveling abroad. First class is not in the cards just yet. :)
    44
  1553. Alex Ramirez It's quite real.

  1555. I don't know, but it is coming at some point.
    44
  1556. It is a beautiful place...you guys are only seeing the one wall...
    44
  1557. Enter to win this iconic SPAS-12! https://www.fanathem.com/forgottenweapons Deadline to enter is 11/22/24 @11:59 PM PST
    44
  1558. +yutuniopati It means "here come the Germans!" Then I shoot at them and they surrender. :)
    44
  1559. EisenKreig, Doing that would simply lead to a ton of people arguing over what the evil-ness threshold ought to be for flag defacing, and be an even bigger distraction than the issue is already.
    44
  1560. The Winchester, which became the M1 Carbine.
    44
  1561. Forgotten Weapons (or mounted atop the upper wings of biplanes. Since they fire from an open bolt, they aren't particularly conducive to being synchronized.
    44
  1562. It will be interesting to watch. Does it simply relocate the heat to body of the barrel (which would not really be a benefit), or does it actually result in more heat leaving the muzzle with the propellant gasses?
    44
  1563. The AK book is on hold pending developments with Russia. We need image licensing from Russian military museums and that is not forthcoming at the moment. Time will tell what eventually happens.
    44
  1564. No patent issues; anyone could make them today (although they would be SBRs legally, if made new).
    44
  1565. Perceptive. :)
    44
  1566. That was considered and it was determined not to be a violation of the Hague Conventions.
    43
  1567. https://youtu.be/YgecTgbz3ik
    43
  1568. I filmed these two weeks ago - back in AZ now.

    43
  1570. nowthisis2stupid The 1919 is an excellent gun (I own one). But that doesn't mean that one should deride other guns for reasons that aren't actually true. Feed strip are not better than belts in a total analysis, but they do have specific characteristics wherein they are better (and others where they are inferior).
    43
  1571. You can find transferable Type 100s, they're just pretty rare.
    43
  1572. Good find. :)
    43
  1573. Yep. The Fedorov was originally designed for a proprietary 6.5mm cartridge. However, Russia had access to a lot of captured 6.5 Jap ammo from the Russo-Japanese War, and using that ammo was much simpler than having to make brand new ammo for the new rifles. So the rifle design was tweaked to utilize the existing ammo stockpile.
    43
  1574. Yes, back before I know better. :)
    43
  1575. The bore difference doesn't help accuracy, but doesn't really hurt it either. A .308 bullet still engages the rifling in a .311 barrel just not as deeply. Frankly, that probably reduces pressure a bit, which would be a good thing.
    43
  1576. Yes, although it takes time for a cartridge sitting in the chamber to heat up enough to fire like that. So you would not get a sudden burst of firing, you would get one round going off, and then perhaps another a few moments or minutes later.
    43
  1577. It's more awesomer. Same reason people buy guns other than Glocks today. :)
    43
  1578. It's in the standard .303 British of the time.
    43
  1579. I'm quite familiar with rimlock, and how to load clips to avoid it. What the rifle was doing to me was the bolt riding over the rim of the cartridge when feeding, and jamming up against the body of the partially-fed round.
    43
  1580. +Will Myersw Not more than once they wouldn't.
    43
  1581. It's coming - also the 807, and Bren 2 BR.
    43
  1582. That is possible...
    43
  1583. Yup, that's correct.
    43
  1584. I would be interested, depending on price and condition. Could you ask your friend to email me at admin@forgottenweapons.com?
    43
  1585. +Michael Smith No, they are in a private collection that I visited. You will be seeing more videos from this location in the coming weeks and months...
    43
  1586. In a couple weeks.
    43
  1587. Thema inproblem Thanks!
    43
  1588. It was made in 1968, so it now qualifies as a C&R rifle.
    43
  1589. Ivan's a beast in stealth mode...
    43
  1590. DWillzJunior I would say it's a combination of several factors. Sometimes it's just a bit of observation and experimentation - there are only so many ways to assembly a firearm, and once you've looked at a lot you start to see patterns and recognize how designs work, even if you haven't examined that particular design before. And, of course, when I do get stuck I can always resort to my collection of manuals, books, and the all-knowing Google.
    43
  1591. RyeOnHam I'm not trying to claim that it would have been a revolutionary design, just that as made by Stoner and Knight, it appears to have been a quite reasonable one. The front sight on the bushing was still a problem, and it still would have had a long DA type trigger. But what Colt did when they adapted it to mass production introduced a lot of addition problems, including major accuracy and reliability issues.
    43
  1592. To be fair, that is the space for the rim of the .303 cartridge, and is appropriate.
    43
  1593. We have a final chapter in this series about the 180 coming in a few weeks...
    43
  1594. +white0devil0 I will do one when I have access to a working example.
    43
  1595. Ydna San I would describe my own collection as WMD-level to the mainstream media, huge to the average gun owner, not too bad to the serious gun collector, and undersized and heavy on inexpensive guns compared to the collections which many of my video'd guns are borrowed from.
    43
  1596. They can, yes. The original intent of the distinction was that dealers who could sell to military and police organizations needed to be able to possess guns in order to market them.
    42
  1597. Nope, that's up to the buyer to know or find out. If you don't know what it is, don't buy it. :)
    42
  1598. Mechanically yes - but in practical terms the recoil from firing would make this impossible to actually accomplish.
    42
  1599. +Tip Mundy Some of them were used as props in Empire Strikes Back, actually.
    42
  1600. Her fiancee and my girlfriend might not appreciate doing that.
    42
  1601. Ultimately, that's exactly what they did.
    42
  1602. +47MasoN47 With an 1897 from 1913 you should be fine with any normal modern ammo, as long as you stick to 2 3/4" shells.
    42
  1603. Please don't; the AK49 name is the single biggest thing I removed. That came form a US Army report in the 60s which was mistaken, and has been erroneously repeated in several major sources to this day.
    42
  1604. Yes.
    42
  1605. I don't even try to keep track of California gun laws. If you are serious about being into firearms, you should not live in California.
    42
  1606. Yes.
    42
  1607. Whoever said it was meant for suicide has no idea what they are talking about.
    42
  1608. Compelling reason to leave the .30 cap on at all times if you plan to swap it between guns :)
    42
  1609. j0nthegreat Better than a .30-06 Garand. Can't say how a .276 Garand would compare, as I have not had a chance to handle or fire one...
    42
  1610. THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO WIN! https://go.getenteredtowin.com/forgottenweapons DEADLINE to ENTER is TONIGHT 05/26/23 @ 11:59pm (PST).
    42
  1611. Exploatores Seemed to be as well made as anything else I've seen.
    42
  1612. Yup. All the issues with drums are magnified in helical mags.
    42
  1613. Prairie style! :)
    42
  1614. It was not supposed to post until next week.
    42
  1615. Yeah, I completely spaced that when I was filming...
    42
  1616. St Etienne resold Winchesters, so it was almost certainly marked with their name for resale, but made in Connecticut.
    42
  1617. Nope, they never came to anything. The Navy decided to adopt the Maxim eventually, on account of its much lighter weight.
    42
  1618. Yes, the M34 model. I will get to that one too!
    42
  1619. Doesn't seem right to call it that anymore when he doesn't use it anymore.
    42
  1620. The guns developed from these Madsen-Rasmussen rifles all have top-mounted magazines, but other Danish arms do not.
    42
  1621. http://www.a-human-right.com/jewsfight.html
    42
  1622. ***** They pay me to do the videos, but they don't tell me what guns to do or what to say, and I charge a flat fee with no relation to what the guns sell for. It's a really good collaboration, because it gives them publicity and gives me access to some phenomenally rare guns to bring to you guys.
    42
  1623. Yep.
    42
  1624. Fallen But Saved I typically spend a week there at a time.
    41
  1625. That is a TT33 Tokarev. I haven't done a video on them yet, but I will eventually.
    41
  1626. +weeeds334 HAC-7
    41
  1627. Certainly something we would happily consider.
    41
  1628. I replaced the bolt head and still have it.
    41
  1629. I would love to :)
    41
  1630. Why not?
    41
  1631. In case of torpedo boats.
    41
  1632. It's entertaining to watch people today describe things as total garbage that are significantly better than what Delta had a couple decades ago. Maybe skill is as important as gear?
    41
  1633. You are quite correct.
    41
  1634. +Zeda Ennd And do you still?
    41
  1635. One of my other videos with the swastika flag in the thumbnail was blocked in Germany for legal reasons.
    41
  1636. @Aman - I just tried replicating this in this in an M17 and an M18, and they both eject a chambered round just fine with the magazine removed.
    41
  1637. I set this whole batch to not notify subscribers, but that seems to have not actually changed anything about its distribution...
    41
  1638. My carry gun depends a lot on where I am. In the city, it's usually just a Keltec .32. Out in the boonies it is most often my Ballester-Molina, but sometimes I choose to carry something else just for kicks - it could be anything from a Bisley model SAA to a TT33 Tokarev.
    41
  1639. Because it's cold.
    41
  1640. I have been two all three major British military arms collections, including the Defense Academy and the Infantry School. Everyone I have spoken to has described the L85A1 as a seriously flawed weapon. It is, in fact, second to every other military bullpup. As for my alleged anti-British attitude, I guess you'll just have to wait and see what I have to say about the EM-2.
    41
  1641. Correct.
    41
  1642. It's a judgement call based on condition, rarity, and durability of the gun, all assuming the consignor does not object.
    41
  1643. You are correct, except that it's not in the US. This video was filmed in Europe.
    41
  1644. Right now, we have single digit numbers of orders each from the PRC, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
    41
  1645. RobertoDonatti Because for all the guns I have messed with extensively, I have very little time on the BHP and I didn't recognize the connection.
    41
  1646. MrReded69 There's no good magazine solution for a 7.62x54R Bren. Using 7.62x39 allowed interchangeability of AK mags.
    41
  1647. +Lasse J Ougaard I pretend like I have a mouth full of potato when I pronounce it. :)
    41
  1648. Probably wouldn't get a good price if they did...
    41
  1649. Days. Although you have to change the barrel every 10-20 thousand rounds as the rifling wears out.
    41
  1650. I tend to only seek out this sort of interaction with new products that I like. I (and Karl) approached Hudson, not the other way around.

    41
  1655. rodney wells Sometimes it's important to understand the common weapons in order to understand the ones that they won out over.
    41
  1656. sotijas Last I heard, it was not for sale - it was going to a museum.
    40
  1657. That's how the Volcanic rifles and pistols (which were eventually developed into the classic lever action rifle) worked - put the powder into a hollow in the base of the bullet. The problem is that there isn't room for enough powder for a modern rifle or pistol round. Make the bullet too thin to give the powder space, and the bullet becomes too fragile.
    40
  1658. Marstar has both a prohibited license and a range on site.
    40
  1659. Oh, there are plenty of guns from Erfurt that will be getting into videos sooner or later...
    40
  1660. The plate was not knocked over by the impact. When the bullet was deflated and fragmented, it then impacted the wood supports and shattered them, which allowed the plate to fall over.

  1664. On the one hand, YouTube comments are chock full of terrible shit that would really benefit from effective curation. On the other hand, I'm not sure a mass of subjective volunteers is a proper solution. On the gripping hand, it does cost a lot less than YouTube hiring people to objectively enforce standards or develop an effective automated solution, though.
    40
  1665. I like it.
    40
  1666. Too good? Yeah, not so much. No amount of explosive in the projectile will fix the massive accuracy problems these had.
    40
  1667. How cartridges need to be picked up from the feeding mechanism.

  1670. I would love to - but original full-auto ones are both extremely rare and extremely expensive here in the US.
    40
  1671. Unfortunately, in most of those places semi auto-converted MGs are now regulated as Cat A, the same as actual machine guns.
    40
  1672. Yes, both.
    40
  1673. The G3 has to be bigger, because it uses a bigger cartridge. That means a longer bolt, longer recoil travel, longer receiver, heavier trunnion, etc.
    40
  1674. That's an FR-F1
    40
  1675. Solid steel.
    40
  1676. A full-auto USAS-12 is legally both a machine gun and a destructive device, and requires two separate tax stamps.
    40
  1677. https://youtu.be/oboHoqtVl3o
    40
  1678. .44 Evans Long or .44 Evans Short, depending on the model. It was an early centerfire round relatively similar to others like the .45 Colt, .44-40, or .44 Russian.
    40
  1679. Ultimately, Forgotten Weapons is about whatever I find interesting and compelling. :)
    40
  1680. No, because the MP44 was supposed to be the replacement for the MP40.
    40
  1681. Actually, it was Bush Sr.'s assault weapon import ban in 1989.
    40
  1682. Yes, this is like say the US replaced the M14 with the AR.
    40
  1683. I think it would actually do pretty well when dirty...although no sane owner of an original one would let me throw one in the mud to find out. :) (and I don't blame them!)
    40
  1684. That video is coming next week.
    40
  1685. Just luck.
    40
  1686. Congrats!
    40
  1687. I like it.
    40
  1688. Yes, despite it being a public domain recording taken off a wax cylinder...
    40
  1689. The heat of firing heats the water up to the boiling point. Once there, addition heat is used to convert water into steam, thus keeping the barrel at 100C until the water is all gone. The steam goes through the hose and emerges under the level of water in the can, thus cooling it and returning it to a liquid state. When the water in the jacket runs low, the crew refills it from the can or another source.
    39
  1690. Plenty of cavalry privates in 1907 met that standard perfectly.
    39
  1691. That one posts tomorrow, so I'm not concerned about it. Thanks though!
    39
  1692. No; it's mounted to the stock and doesn't touch the working parts.
    39
  1693. Because it last sold for $130,000 and the owner wasn't there.
    39
  1694. I believe so, yes.
    39
  1695. People like to accuse paper-pushing managerial types of being a useless drain on an organization (and sometimes they are), but they do have an essential function.
    39
  1696. Because it hasn't been published yet.
    39
  1697. Appropriately enough, the idea came out of Finnish Brutality... :)
    39
  1698. +ThatFreakingDude Actually, that was from this very revolver biting me.
    39
  1699. Since we did this video, we've upgraded the camera with a remote mic that doesn't catch the wind noise.
    39
  1700. +Colin Hardy Yes.
    39
  1701. As I say in the video, it is an SP1 lower with a surplussed M16A1 upper.
    39
  1702. You do realize that the money actually has to be converted into a physical new camera before that can happen, right? I don't actually get about half of the contributions from IndieGoGo until the campaign formally ends, in 3 weeks,
    39
  1703. This one is going to be much too rich for my blood. :(
    39
  1704. +Cory Mcclure Thanks!
    39
  1705. andrew stowe The patents are long expired; anyone who wanted to could make and sell these.
    39
  1706. It is necessary to support the front end of the barrel.
    39
  1707. It's legit. I thought they were really pointlessly boring until I starting reading up on them.
    39
  1708. Thanks!
    39
  1709. Not this specific one, but sooner or later I will have a chance to shoot a Pedersen. I have the ammo already, just waiting for an opportunity with one of the guns...
    39
  1710. No, Russian.
    39
  1711. Yes, the same trip.
    39
  1712. Those are much more available in the US; hopefully I will be able to afford one at some point!
    39
  1713. Right here...where have YOU been?
    39
  1714. Guillermo Lovato That was the empty shell casing after being fired.
    39
  1715. It's not intended to be a technical reference.
    39
  1716. stenk000 Not in any serious way.
    39
  1717. +Moose I do already have one, although its very old and not very good. If/when I can get my hands on a Fedorov, I will certainly do a better one.
    39
  1718. Yes - the manufacturing quality on the ZH-29 is outstanding.
    39
  1719. Yes, of course we checked the pistol prior to filming.
    39
  1720. No.
    39
  1721. Guten I try not to look at the estimated values until I'm done disassembling them. :)
    39
  1722. I find the Thompson to be heavy and awkward.
    39
  1723. +David Lopes Because I spend a week at a time messing with a couple dozen new guns, and inevitably one of them bites me somehow. Then I end up with that bandaid for a bunch of videos. I'm really not as clumsy as it might appear. :)
    39
  1724. Nope, nobody.
    39
  1725. Next weekend ;)
    39
  1726. That video is coming in a few days ;)
    39
  1727. I believe that Wilson pistol remains the rarest thing I have actually fired, FWIW.
    39
  1728. We have a contact form on the website for authors - please send us the details there (https://www.headstamppublishing.com/authors#authorsubmissions). We would certainly consider a book on the subject of military vehicles.
    39
  1729. Thanks!
    38
  1730. Not really.
    38
  1731. Yep, it's very cool.
    38
  1732. That one is coming.
    38
  1733. Sons of Guns, season 5 episode 9. :)
    38
  1734. Adjustable.
    38
  1735. I do not script videos.
    38

  1738. When referencing handguns, "automatic" typically means "self-loading", not fully automatic as with shoulder weapons. The Colt 1911, for example, was regularly called an automatic pistol in literature of the time. In fact, the Webley company advertised the Webley-Fosbery specifically as an "Automatic Revolver". You can download a scan of their original brochure on the gun here: http://www.forgottenweapons.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Webley-Fosbery-Automatic-Revolver-manual-English-small.pdf

  1739. +Morti 1 If those Lugers were actually mine, things would be different. :)
    38
  1740. Thanks!
    38
  1741. Yes, an alloy.
    38
  1742. It's both.
    38
  1743. Thing that looks like a FAMAS.
    38
  1744. I have a nice post on the blog about why it's actually a pretty decent gun, that got a bad reputation from the improperly made US M1918 conversion to .30-06. When I have the chance to do a thorough video, I'll add that as well.
    38
  1745. The front handguard on this M1 was decorated, and the cloth is there to protect it from being scratched during the match.
    38
  1746. ADKwarriors No...there really isn't anything for me to show. It's just a very nice looking M1 that happened to be owned by Kennedy.
    38
  1747. I already filmed one with the sample books you see in the background here. ;)
    38
  1748. Yes, I have a video on it that hasn't posted yet.
    38
  1749. Good point - done.
    38
  1750. @FirstLast_Nba I can ban the individual accounts manually, but there are new ones on every video. I suppose it's better than the Telegram scams that used to infest all the channels...
    38
  1751. Ordnance is weaponry; an ordinance is a law.
    38
  1752. It's the same height, so it will match on the shelf.
    38
  1753. Douglas Newell That's a serious understatement - originals go for $100k plus when you can actually find them.
    38
  1754. Thane36425 Sorry, but this is just a myth. First, you won't be able to hear the ping over the noise of a firefight. Second, a practiced M1 shooter can reload before you have enough time to do anything useful. And third, if there was one guy with an M1, he almost certainly had buddies with him who didn't need to reload at that moment.
    38
  1755. Yes, the AR is a piston integrated into the bolt carrier. I covered this 5 years ago (https://youtu.be/10td_zRPlao), but it will be getting its own segment in this "How Does It Work" series, because that first video doesn't look very good.

  1758. Thanks!
    37
  1759. I bid on it, but didn't win.
    37
  1760. Illuminati2347 Thanks! That was neat to hear. :)
    37
  1761. +Anders Kristensen Nope, I don't think I will. :)
    37
  1762. Y'know, I would have thought so...
    37
  1763. Perhaps eventually, but I have not actually done that myself.
    37
  1764. The Werder was an excellent rifle, that was unfairly squashed by German unification.
    37
  1765. Ivory.
    37
  1766. +Samael527 The auction is next week, buy it!
    37
  1767. To get a better camera angle on it.
    37
  1768. When the conversion was done, there were no round receiver Mosins.
    37
  1769. Yes.
    37
  1770. Several small but important edits to the video.
    37
  1771. @dragosandrei88 Some videos get demonetized; some get age-restricted. It happens at random, and I am not going to wait until it's a 100% guaranteed thing to build a safe place to host this sort of content. Not just mine, but the other educational gun channels. You can still go watch for free on Playeur, BTW. Sorry that it was only possible for me only make 3,179 videos available completely for free over 12 years.

    37
  1773. Yeah, vegetable slicer accident.
    37
  1774. I'm just hunkering way down behind it so we can get a better shot of the gun in the frame.
    37
  1775. That jerk is always angry.
    37
  1776. +dial1115 Got outbid.
    37
  1777. Yes, there is a plan. I will announce once I have a better understanding of what the specific implications of YouTube's new policies are.
    37
  1778. Today labor costs substantially more than material; a hundred years ago those were reversed.

    37
  1780. Yup, I've seen Koivisto's cached gun on Suomenlinna :)
    37
  1781. The Germans took about 3000 casualties seizing the fort, compared to about 50 French dead and 85 or so wounded.
    37
  1782. Fisty, talk to Armax: https://www.armaxjournal.org
    37
  1783. +BobtheHobo324 Yup. The gun was designed to be run by a 2-man team, with the assistant gunner reloading. The open mag allowed him to watch the ammo level.
    37
  1784. Most of the things I shoot were mass production guns - this is one of 55 prototypes ever made, and it has been used as a shooting reference piece for about 70 years now.
    37
  1785. M1 Carbine. I'm not really a fan of the Thompson.
    37
  1786. Actually, the LRDG tended to use aircraft machine guns, because they had higher rates of fire. What looks like a Lewis in their photos is usually a Vickers K.
    37
  1787. Well, I have this one: https://youtu.be/3XzmCQUPyTM
    37
  1788. I think the Russians were just willing to buy anything that would work for the military, and the 1895 was already tooled up for production and could handle the 54R cartridge.
    37
  1789. I took the two rifles in this video out to the range.
    37
  1790. It's a normal table, and I'm hunkering down behind it to get a better camera angle on the guns.
    37
  1791. Sorry; meant 6+1.
    37
  1792. Considering the French origin or the word, the better question would be, what is a car-byne?
    37
  1793. I would consider it if I found a distributor in France who was interested.
    37
  1794. About half a dozen of the personalized copies requested it :)
    37
  1795. I have a whole video specifically on that question: https://youtu.be/x0FCHyXKb1Y
    36
  1796. I dont know of any books that cover them in any detail. Bin Shih's book on Chinese arms covers a few of them briefly.
    36
  1797. Thanks!
    36
  1798. Oh la la, les mots des combats!
    36
  1799. Yep.
    36
  1800. +dandel351 It appears to be functional.
    36
  1801. +timinator855 Yes. Oops.
    36
  1802. No. It's a second part.
    36
  1803. +JohnLeePedimore They did make nitro 4-bore ammunition - Julia is selling an original 10-round box of it in this upcoming auction...
    36
  1804. Yes, but attacking people in a sauna with a BMP is also poor etiquette. One must make allowances for circumstances.
    36
  1805. It is on my list; just need to find one. I had a chance a year or two back, but the gun was broken. I do have about a dozen trounds stashed away in case I'm able to do some shooting at some point.
    36
  1806. Yes.
    36
  1807. Sadly, yes.
    36
  1808. +Maciej Pociecha I've never handled one, but I would like to.
    36
  1809. +race bannon Yes, it is a post sample.
    36
  1810. No, I don't take payment for reviews, aside form the book itself.
    36
  1811. Judging from the ten thousand recent comments, all of you...
    36
  1812. Whoops, sorry.
    36
  1813. No, they are not interchangeable.
    36
  1814. +Chris Ide No, muzzleloaders are not subject to the NFA.
    36
  1815. I would prefer a Sterling over a Vigneron
    36
  1816. +RyeOnHam Yes, I did. :)
    36
  1817. StormKidification Nope. :)
    36
  1818. No, they will not be sold. Retained as second-line rifles or destroyed.
    36
  1819. Lots of reading and lots of listening to people who know more than me.
    36
  1820. They do not, unfortunately.
    36
  1821. +Cain Nope
    36
  1822. Hey, don't let me stop you! :)
    36
  1823. +Hart Poole I would like to do a better video on the Owen, but they are quite rare here and I need to find one I can get access to.
    36
  1824. +CairSilverwolf I have excellent guest-written articles on the Mors and Błyskawica on ForgottenWeapons.com, as well as photos of a wz.38M. If I can ever get my hands on working examples of any of them, I will happily do videos.
    36
  1825. Yes, and I will cover Winchester shotguns another time.
    36
  1826. The word "panzer" was not in use in WWI; they used the English word "tank". http://edoc.hu-berlin.de/dissertationen/fasse-alexander-2007-06-21/PDF/fasse.pdf
    36
  1827. It's fine to shoot left handed - I did a lot of firing with it that way.
    36
  1828. I'm nowhere near as accurate right-handed, but I've gotten pretty comfortable doing it. Besides being better for video sometimes, it's also a good skill to work on.
    36
  1829. I have no idea what it will sell for. I do know that it's not very interesting to me, but I will never understand the amount of money some people will spend on Nazi party artifacts.
    36
  1830. Yes.
    36
  1831. I have no idea.
    36
  1832. WarHammer1911A1 No, but I should. :)
    36
  1833. By YouTube's policy, based on German laws dating to the 1950s, yes. If you want to see the swastika, you can go look at the thumbnail on full30.com .
    36
  1834. Only in prototype, but yes :)
    36
  1835. Right - "vz" stands for "vzor", which means "model". The Czechs had the vz52 pistol and the vz52 rifle, just like the US had the M1 rifle and M1 Carbine.
    36
  1836. Fallen But Saved Yup.
    35
  1837. Sorry, that is completely outside my control.
    35
  1838. Between Hamlin and Aspermont.
    35
  1839. Just pretend I live in a video game.
    35
  1840. I have one filmed now; not sure yet when it will publish.
    35
  1841. Yes, several of its owners have shot it.
    35
  1842. Then you get a lucky bonus.
    35
  1843. +Toyla Morozyuk This weekend. I moved things up.
    35
  1844. Adrian Larkins Perhaps...but do consider the amount of demand even today for the "last ditch" German and Japanese rifles from the late days of WWII. Some of those are equally horrendous in quality to this...
    35
  1845. Unlikely, but if I can I will.
    35
  1846. No, the bolt does not move when you switch from semi to full or vice versa. This actually leads to an unusual quirk if you have the bolt locked open and then switch the selector to semi. The next trigger pull will release the bolt, but the semi sear notch will catch it, and you have to pull the trigger a second time to fire the first shot in semiauto.
    35
  1847. Bannermans are pretty rare. You can still get unmodified Remington and N.E.W. Mosins, though. Some stayed in the US, but plenty were shipped to Russia.The standard Mosin I used as a comparison in the video is an N.E.W. gun was used by the Russians and then captured by the Finns.
    35
  1848. +LittleMikey Military rifles typically have full-length wooden hand guards and metal hardware to fit a bayonet. "Sporterizing" is a generic term for removing the extra wood and metal bit to make the rifle lighter. It also includes replacing the military sights with commercial-style sights or a mount for a telescopic sight, and adding a padded buttplate to the stock. Things that tend to make the rifle more appealing to the hunter.
    35
  1849. I think I would go with the Devel, because I like the sights more.
    35
  1850. Yes, a bunch more over the next several months.
    35
  1851. No, smoothbore.
    35
  1852. +Rauta Vaara (Rautaa) It is well known today, but that wasn't the case 20 years ago.
    35
  1853. Oliver Diaz When I find one, yes.
    35
  1854. I know, right?
    35
  1855. If you have any evidence that the thing was even actually manufactured beyond a single prototype (i.e., the 4 surviving photos), I would love to see it.
    35
  1856. First, if you move your Patreon support to Utreon, you won't see those ads on my videos. Second, I do understand that it's still early and it's definitely not for everyone yet. If you would like to help it grow, please consider asking the other content creators you like to create accounts on Utreon. It's not an exclusive thing, and there's really no downside for a creator.
    35
  1857. There is no size limit.
    35
  1858. I will look into caps - thanks!
    35
  1859. It's when aluminium throws your tea in the harbor.
    35
  1860. Same model, but without the extended magazine.
    35
  1861. I accidentally published the one without the shooting footage and didn't realize it until just now. Oops!
    35
  1862. Caden Robl IAssuming we are talking about guns overrated by people today, I would say the M1918A2 BAR.
    35
  1863. Had those people not all been around this rifle, they would not have gone on to be part of the later development of lever actions.

    35
  1865. +Nick Kraus Allez les boches!
    35
  1866. Jesper O It's a mixture - some guns I know well and some I need to read up on a lot before doing a video. Even on the ones I know well, though, I always try to go back to my reference materials beforehand to avoid getting details like dates wrong.
    35
  1867. Thanks!
    35
  1868. There is always a French connection ;)
    35
  1869. Got a link? I'd like to get one of those... :)
    35
  1870. I did, and I will have a couple videos coming from there. :)
    35
  1871. Ouch!
    35
  1872. Better yet, get it adopted as a textbook by St Cyr. I will do a French translation! :)
    35
  1873. I don't understand why people seem to think it's a race.
    35
  1874. It's the best kind of metaphor; mixed.
    35
  1875. Century lists it as corrosive.
    35
  1876. Russian M95 Nagant.
    35
  1877. I always clear the guns; it just doesn't always make it into the final video edit.
    35
  1878. Once the NFA transfer completes, you bet.
    35
  1879. Yup.
    35
  1880. Thank you!
    35
  1881. Really not sure how common they are - it's for the Finnish 1932 Maxim.
    34
  1882. Sometimes I do, but this time I was busy filming elsewhere when it was happening and didn't watch.
    34
  1883. Fab and I were both using the rifle, so we swapped it back and forth on each stage. Really not a big deal; takes less than 60 seconds.
    34
  1884. Yup, you definitely have to consider buyer's premium, shipping, and also sales tax now.
    34
  1885. Thanks! It's actually just me most of the time.
    34
  1886. Yes - everything mechanical breaks.
    34
  1887. Actually, only the bolt head itself was damaged. Replace that, and it's good to go.
    34
  1888. The Boers gave it that nickname based on the sound of it firing.
    34
  1889. 42
    34
  1890. Interesting - I had not heard about the safety/LBE issue, but it certainly would make sense. Thanks!
    34
  1891. Germany was really good at wasting production capacity in WW2.
    34
  1892. +EthanJM Trajectory, not velocity.
    34
  1893. Be careful...too much academic curiosity might lead to you buying one yourself and liking it. :)
    34
  1894. They're pretty rare, and I would expect to pay 2-3 thousand if you find one for sale.
    34
  1895. Andrew Tadsen With the manual safety engaged, there is no danger (it prevent sear pressure from being able to fire the gun).
    34
  1896. Spanish legal issues aside, patents on the C96 had expired by the time these were made.
    34
  1897. Ashley changed their carry policy when she took over.
    34
  1898. The look was good enough for Buffalo Bill Cody; it's good enough for me. :)
    34
  1899. +Tizer Chief Five per year, not counting the online-only ones. IIRC, it's Febraury, April, July, September, and December.
    34
  1900. Grazie!
    34
  1901. In Finland, the skis are more practical than wheels.
    34
  1902. MrDoctorCrow We try. :)
    34
  1903. KP44.
    34
  1904. Like on many modern rifles and pistols, the bolt doesn't release and close immediately upon loading; you have to pull the handle back slightly to disengage the holdopen.
    34
  1905. BushmasterXM15E2S It sort of implied sweeping the streets clean of people.
    34
  1906. 8mm Lebel is no slouch - the WW1 loading was 198gr @ 2400 fps. The WW2 loading actually had more muzzle energy than .30-06 M2 ball.
    34
  1907. Shockingly, a word can mean the same thing in two languages. Or even three languages!
    34
  1908. Yes, the Lewis did.

  1909. Fallshirmjager Gewehr (Paratroop Rifle).
    34
  1910. +rav ravensdale Roman god or war.

  1913. Stick around until Saturday ;)
    34
  1914. I just can't manage to hold onto guns when I'm standing over mud pits.
    34
  1915. +GearCheck 101 The point was that you could legally register and own the gun if it was chambered for 8x33, and then you could shoot the 7.62x39.
    34
  1916. When I find a real one, yes.
    34
  1917. The original inhabitants were mostly massacred by the Zulu.
    34
  1918. It is semiautomatic, so firing a cartridge recocks the system. When you dry-fire the pistol, though, it has to be recocked manually.
    34
  1919. Yeah, probably.
    34

  1921. That's just the oddball ones :)
    34
  1922. Yes - but it deserved better recognition.
    34
  1923. Sure, but saying a rifle was backed by Marion Morrison doesn't get much attention.
    34
  1924. I apologize in advance on behalf of your bank account. ;)
    34
  1925. Thanks for that!
    34
  1926. Yes.
    34
  1927. Yes, exactly the same scale down to the fraction of a pixel.
    34
  1928. Thanks - I misunderstood
    34
  1929. Yes, it really is!
    34
  1930. Because they are not quite finalized yet.
    34
  1931. They did, until they were sold on the black market.
    34
  1932. I disagree with those people.
    34
  1933. +NuShooter SixTfour Innovation since about 1950 (arguably since 1920 or so in handguns) has been around optics and materials, not functional mechanisms.
    34
  1934. It was never used, so there is not.
    34
  1935. We have a stretch goal for the book to cover these... ;)
    34
  1936. You can fire a Chauchat from an airplane, too...I'm covering design intent here.
    34
  1937. It's an aircraft machine gun, which I didn't cover here. Basically defined by rate of fire.
    34
  1938. I mean, "look good doing it" is a real thing... :)
    34

    34
  1942. @KaiziGarden The winner was an LEO, who is not subject to their rules. I think it's wrong for LEOs to not be subject to the same rules as everyone else, but that's tangential to the question.
    34
  1943. Thank you!
    34
  1944. At different times it was officially designated MP43/I, MP43, MP44, and StG44.
    34
  1945. +Eli Jaworski It is definitely not - the Webley Fosbery was developed right at the turn of the century.
    34
  1946. Yes, Keith was a Mason.
    34
  1947. I am having cannon and machine gun overload. :)
    33
  1948. And he's a really nice guy in addition.
    33
  1949. Yes, it's semiauto only - I don't have any info on who made it. As for the shooting, I may not be a bad shot, but I'm definitely a slow shot by competition standards. :)
    33
  1950. Guarantee they will.
    33
  1951. I learned along time ago not to tell people they have mis-marked or incorrect things unless they specifically ask me. It never goes well.
    33
  1952. +TheGoldenCaulk I don't have any book recommendations, offhand - sorry. Here's a really cool photo as a starting point, though: https://www.facebook.com/ForgottenWeapons/photos/a.260868080642309.62951.259844964077954/935599003169210/?type=3&theater

  1954. I read a lot and listen a lot.
    33
  1955. Probably, although I have not tried shooting it. Also, I know. :)
    33
  1956. https://amzn.to/2GRU7Dz
    33
  1957. Probably. :)
    33
  1958. Kiona Moeru Kaze It's in a museum in Europe.
    33
  1959. Only machine guns were affected by the 1986 ban. All destructive devices are transferable, and you can also still register and make new ones (same with AOWs and short barreled rifles & shotguns).
    33
  1960. It's not in the US. Dumb laws, yes, but not dumb American ones in this case. :)
    33
  1961. I did think about that, but the same of a French book about French guns would probably be 95% in France, not Canada.
    33
  1962. Detachable magazines are not necessarily the right answer. Fixed mags are much less bulky to carry ammo for (stripper clips), don't get damaged and cause feeding problems, and don't leave a big hole in the bottom of the gun for dirt to get into. In the 1920s and 30s, there were potentially compelling reasons not to have detachable mags.
    33
  1963. I can assure you that it is a WWII-era German MG42.
    33
  1964. I could see a WWI series after we finish up WWII…
    33
  1965. Unfortunately, no - our visits didn't quite overlap.
    33
  1966. Flare launching conversion.
    33
  1967. Yes. Select-fire.
    33
  1968. Yes, "car-bean" is the common American pronunciation.
    33
  1969. +xyzpdq1122 They are not regulated unless the projectile is explosive. It's the gun itself that needs to be registered.
    33
  1970. Thanks!
    33
  1971. +fastmongrel Oh, there's lots more Civil War stuff I have yet to do. :)
    33
  1972. My pleasure!
    33
  1973. Wait until we get to the SIG KE-7 video...
    33
  1974. If you just put some servos on the steering wheel and pedals of your car and connected it to your laptop and some cameras, you could have a self-driving car! :)
    33
  1975. That's an M91 or M41 Carcano.
    33
  1976. Sorry, I worded that bit poorly and should have been clearer. You are correct, of course.
    33
  1977. Thanks, but I'm pretty sure that I lost because I missed a bunch and goofed up my reloads. :)
    33
  1978. That deserves it's own separate video.
    33
  1979. I have one of my own currently in the NFA transfer process. Once it arrives, I will be able to do much more comprehensive video on it than I would with one at an auction.
    33
  1980. Yes, it can.
    33
  1981. Semiauto ones here are about that same price. The value goes way up because a transferrable one here had to have been registered prior to 1968, so there are very few.
    33
  1982. Right to me! Oh, wait...you mean to buy one of these Nordenfelts? :) I don't know yet, but I'll be sure to let you know when they're available!
    33
  1983. I didn't.
    33
  1984. I taped that target up myself. ;)
    33
  1985. No.
    33
  1986. I enjoy a zen-like middle ground of being very happy with my not-quite-1911 while also being fully aware of  its obsolescence and shortcomings (sights, capacity, sights, weight, and sights).
    33
  1987. RyeOnHam I've never actually handled a pre-Colt version, so I am willing to be proven wrong.
    33
  1988. Yup. Whoops!
    33
  1989. A bit.
    33
  1990. I just filmed a Villar Perosa video yesterday, although it may be a little while before it publishes.
    33
  1991. We really don't know how reliable it was. It didn't do well in British trials, but the test report notes that it was using ammo that was really mishandled in transit, and in poor condition. Short of finding an example someone would be willing to put a bunch of ammo through (which seems unlikely), we have no way of knowing how well it was capable of performing.
    33
  1992. Probably because it won't stack in an AR magazine. Both .300 and 8.6 were initially developed for military requirements, which need magazine capacity in a way pure hunting cartridges do not.
    33
  1993. And yet the guns are the same.
    33
  1994. It's printed in the Collector Grade book "Sturmgewehr".
    33
  1995. +mnharris10 I have known that for a long time... :)
    33
  1996. +MaxTheKanuck #JoinTheMasterRace Hope and luck. :)
    33
  1997. +tweed187187 With modern ammo there is no statistical difference in effectiveness between 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP.
    32
  1998. Caseless systems typically use either a primer compound that is burned away upon firing, or electronic ignition.
    32
  1999. I took the bolt out - that is disassembled (seriously).
    32
  2000. Alessio Yautja Yes, I am left handed.
    32
  2001. gurka321 Yes, you are correct. I fumbled my wording a bit.
    32
  2002. Both injuries I know of with the KSG were with VFGs that broke off, so be careful.
    32
  2003. Y'know, someone on my blog pointed out that the Ross was pushed as a military rifle starting during the Boer War, where it would have been an excellent arm. Maintenance would have been much simpler on the veldt compared to the trenches, and the Ross' excellent speed and accuracy would have made it a superior weapon to the typical Boer 7mm Mauser. That war wasn't such a drain on the Empire that poor ammo would have been used like in WWI.
    32
  2004. As an Arizona resident, that's the heaviest coat I own - I was freezing my ass off!
    32
  2005. +Axel C Whoops, did I say yards? It should have been meters.
    32
  2006. I am not, but I'm sure some people will take it that way.
    32
  2007. I have zero control over the ads that YouTube runs; sorry.
    32
  2008. I am working on learning French, actually. :)
    32
  2009. +Tobi C. Yep
    32
  2010. They're in a private collection, and the owner (unfortunately but understandably) prefers to remain anonymous.
    32
  2011. Thanks! :)
    32
  2012. +The Bitwise Yeah, he did.
    32
  2013. I have a video on that subject coming shortly. :)
    32
  2014. Yes, it does appear to have been changed between the two models.
    32
  2015. +Weerd2normal2 The stock was actually used as a holster, sort of. The stock itself was a thin flat board, and a leather holster was attached to the side of it, so that it didn't take up any additional space when being carried.
    32
  2016. Not quite! :)
    32
  2017. One of our regular competitors has a transferrable M1918 BAR and did that once. :)
    32
  2018. +Steven Grotte https://www.full30.com/video/2d4d78397e6c8c9b83933a9cf01fe513
    32
  2019. Centerfire.
    32
  2020. The tube would fill up, and then each subsequent round fired would push one out the ejection port. There's enough force there to snap the ejection port cover open, so there's plenty to push up a stack of empties.
    32
  2021. And the L85A1 came pre-broken anyway, so why not?
    32
  2022. +keith moore Nope, you are correct.
    32
  2023. Me too! I have yet to find one I can film.
    32
  2024. The MG15, and several submachine guns.
    32
  2025. Despite the channel name, not everything I cover is forgotten. Knowing the background of common guns is often important in understanding the context for why the forgotten ones were rejected or replaced.
    32
  2026. Patent extensions weren't an option at that time. Rollin White lobbied Congress to extend it on account of him not really making any money, but President Grant personally vetoed the resulting bill.
    32
  2027. If you subcontract your manufacture, the tax is due when the complete gun is sold by the actual manufacturer to the main company.
    32
  2028. Technically, the US did not fully adopt 5.56mm until the NATO standardization agreement had expired.
    32
  2029. Yep, I have a video coming next month on that.
    32
  2030. I suspect it would be...have him email us!
    32
  2031. We decided to parts ways over professional differences.
    32
  2032. +B O'R This can actually be held and fired, although it is really small. The Kolibri is effectively impossible for me to use - it's SO small that I can't actually get a functional grip on it.
    32
  2033. Unfortunately, they're not very common in the US.
    32
  2034. 10.4mm Vetterli rimfire would be even harder, despite the rifles being easy to get.
    32
  2035. We would love to find one, but have not been able to yet.
    32
  2036. Yup.
    32
  2037. Yes - the Germans actually converted a bunch of the guns to 9mm Luger for wartime use.
    32
  2038. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEOt-qYX23c
    32
  2039. One of the requirements for the design was a fairly short overall length. Placing the mag on the side allows it to occupy the same space as the trigger group, where it would have to be farther forward if it were mounted on the bottom. That helps to shorten the gun by a few inches.
    32
  2040. It's called the HK 91. :)
    32
  2041. Sure.
    32
  2042. Not speak English?
    32
  2043. +Joric78 Short version is that a transferrable on is one that any citizen can purchase and own. Non-transferrable guns, commonly called dealer samples, can only be owned by federally-licensed machine gun dealers. The idea is that such people need a way to own modern machine guns for R&D and for demonstrating to potential clients in military and law enforcement.
    32
  2044. People shouldn't call me when I'm recording a video! :)
    32
  2045. Very glad to hear that!
    32
  2046. Not available because of the danger of legal action from H&K
    32
  2047. irrlicht321 There's a groove cut down the top of the slide.
    32
  2048. They did accuracy tests and it was the only area where the L85A2 is actually "pretty good", and so they exaggerate that to the troops to boost their confidence in the rifle. In reality, there are plenty of other service rifles that are equal or better to the L85A2 in accuracy.
    32
  2049. Thanks!
    32
  2050. With the exception of states that restrict magazine capacity, there are no laws pertaining to the manufacture of magazines. They are not regulated items.
    32
  2051. leonardo tavares dardenne Early, but not quite one of the first.
    32
  2052. Yes - don't press it while firing! :)
    31
  2053. Because you are not supposed to see them until they publish later the month. :)
    31
  2054. https://shop.bbtv.com/collections/forgotten-weapons/products/forgotten-weapons-black-hoodie
    31
  2055. donoghue666 Both pronunciations are correct.
    31
  2056. Well, they must have turned it down for some reason - most likely they realized they could get M16s basically for free from the federal government. I don't know for sure, though, and I don't know what police department it was originally.
    31
  2057. The L85 uses an AR-style bolt, a bolt carrier riding on steel guide rods, and a short stroke piston. The SAR-21 has a two-lug (like a Stoner) bolt, a long stroke piston, and a bolt carrier attached directly to the piston.
    31
  2058. It is not for sale.
    31
  2059. Yes.
    31
  2060. Sure, if it's something I know about. Send some photos to admin@forgottenweapons.com .
    31
  2061. C'est la guerre...
    31
  2062. +Chad Barrett Yes.
    31
  2063. And not just any Sten MkI; the very first Sten MkI. :)
    31
  2064. I have no control over what ads YouTube runs - sorry.
    31
  2065. Correct, they do not.
    31
  2066. Kiona Moeru Kaze It's a real Federov.
    31
  2067. The closest example would be the Villar Perosa.
    31
  2068. Thanks!
    31
  2069. +Naomi Nekomimi That hole is a safety measure - if you should have a cartridge case rupture, the gas will vent out that hole rather than traveling back along the bolt and venting into the shooter's face. Early cartridge production was more susceptible to that type of failure, and designing mechanisms to safeguard the shooter was an important part of early bolt action rifle design. For example, it is one of the major shortcomings with the German Gewehr 88, leading to its replacement with the Mauser Model 98.
    31
  2070. Because you want a .22 target pistol perhaps?
    31
  2071. Yes, everyone has been.
    31
  2072. It's a warm hat.
    31
  2073. Oops - it was Belgium's standard rifle as well, but I meant Luxembourg.
    31
  2074. +laca zette Doctrine in WWII was to change barrels when you changed belts - every 250 rounds. That kept them cool enough to not limit their lifespan at all, and you could just cycle through the three barrels issued with the gun. When you took out the third barrel, the first would have cooled.
    31
  2075. Same thing I read at the very beginning.
    31
  2076. +Andrew Brown They must be manually cycled.
    31
  2077. Nope, museum go through the same NFA process as the rest of us.
    31
  2078. +piRaufasertapete I am still looking for one...
    31
  2079. Because 7.62x39 was regulated and 8x33 was not - and rifles with the 8mm chamber could still fire 7.62x39 cartridges.
    31
  2080. Thanks!
    31
  2081. The revolvers were just control guns to evaluate how the semiautos did. :)
    31
  2082. You'd think so, but nobody seemed to figure that out.
    31
  2083. Yes, they do.
    31
  2084. +KyleNo4Mk2 Or else they get paid by the hour. :)
    31
  2085. I should get one of those... :)
    31
  2086. The one OSS weapon I've gotten to handle was a "Bigot" (spigot-mortar type of dart gun conversion of the 1911). I did a video on that, which you can find by searching for "Bigot 1911". I also did a video on the Liberator.
    31
  2087. Yeah, I had the wrong Henry in mind.
    31
  2088. Well, let's ask Cy and Lauren, shall we? https://youtu.be/4ZTwdK0tU0M?t=2762
    31
  2089. Only a couple.
    31
  2090. We didn't think about that, but it will be fixed before it goes to the printer.
    31
  2091. They certainly knew about these; they were made by the same factories. But the M44 (and M38) were based on the 91/30, not the M91.
    31
  2092. Oh, interesting possibility - maybe someone counting down the months until they get out of the service?

  2094. The AR-18/180 is the ]Armalite rifle produced after Armalite sold the AR15 patents to Colt. It's a short stroke gas piston system that was copied to make the L85, G36, and several other modern military rifles.
    31
  2095. Nope. Neither did the Lewis or MG15nA.
    31
  2096. Thanks!
    30
  2097. Yup, it's on my list.
    30
  2098. I concur.
    30
  2099. 7.62x54R
    30
  2100. +Henrik Stromberg True - I was using party and government interchangeably, but as you say, that's not quite correct. Thanks!
    30
  2101. Like you said, it's 1.5" longer.
    30
  2102. Get Entered to WIN this original 1897 Trench Gun! https://go.getenteredtowin.com/forgottenweapons DEADLINE to ENTER is 09/29/23 @ 11:59pm (PST).
    30
  2103. I think my gear is just fine.
    30
  2104. The discharge tube and cap would be what we call the wand and nozzle, while the corrugated tube is the flexible hose. I'll see if I can get good photos of the text...thanks!
    30
  2105. +Orc Actual Sure, in a couple weeks after it does sell.
    30
  2106. Some countries used carbine holsters and some didn't - they would retain dirt and water, and not provide the soldier a way to carry the gun if dismounted. They were also quite convenient when you were mounted...so there are arguments both ways. The French would be no different in this regard, with three different carbine configurations (cavalry, cuirassier, and gendarmerie/artillery).
    30
  2107. Yep, that's exactly where the name came from.
    30
  2108. Yes, it uses a short recoil system for operation.
    30
  2109. Yes, I will arrange a meet up before or after the tour.
    30
  2110. +Marcus Linden Cost.
    30
  2111. It's linked in the description...
    30
  2112. Some Patrons have early access to videos.
    30
  2113. What you are describing would be called mounted infantry, or dragoons.
    30
  2114. +LozzerGuide Nope, no DQs. :)
    30
  2115. No.
    30
  2116. My formal education is in engineering.
    30
  2117. Heather Spoonheim Nope, this is a real thing.
    30
  2118. Eventually, yes.
    30
  2119. austreborn Actually the M60 was primarily based on the FG-42.
    30
  2120. No, his inspiration was from Collier flintlock revolvers.
    30
  2121. WHAT?
    30
  2122. Skis make a lot more sense than wheels in Finland.
    30
  2123. Honestly? Probably never. This isn't a video game channel, and BF1 is an exception to the rule because of the amount of publicity it got.
    30
  2124. Correct.
    30
  2125. Correct.
    30
  2126. Good luck finding Mars-caliber snap caps! :)
    30
  2127. ***** I only know enough about blades to know that most of the ones in video games are incredibly impractical. :)
    30
  2128. Like C&Rsenal?
    30
  2129. I don't doubt it, but the fact remains that virtually all of the guns made in Rhodesia for civilians were semiauto. If they happened to learn Afrikaans after being purchased, that's one thing, but the laws on paper dictated how they were manufactured.
    30
  2130. Well, I was in the Stockholm airport 2 weeks ago...
    30
  2131. Probably arguing over what caliber is best.
    30
  2132. Yes, absolutely. I never make mistakes.
    30
  2133. Um...not really. I have videos coming on a bunch of inter-war SMGs, hopefully those will answer a lot of questions.
    30
  2134. Yes, this is legal.
    30
  2135. Yep, I did. That video will be coming later.
    30
  2136. +RinkerbyBrorarna I apologize for putting learnin's in the video instead of just making noise.
    30
  2137. Because an expert doing it by hand will be more precise that a factory production line. Mass-produced ammunition is pretty good, but it's intended for a market that don't demand the best possible consistency, so the tolerances on the production are looser than an individual can achieve working by hand.
    30
  2138. Not allowed because of fire restrictions in the area. I don't think they would really help anyway.
    30
  2139. Lots of serious IPSC PCC guys, yeah.
    30
  2140. I figured I wanted the leverage for prying up rocks. It may not have been the best plan, but it's what I went with.
    30
  2141. These stages are the brainchild of Jari Laine, CEO of Varusteleka. :)
    30
  2142. Nope.
    30
  2143. Yeah, it's not clear to me if she was really effective with it, or if it was more of a PR thing...although PR has an effectiveness in it's own right.
    30
  2144. Admiral Percy Yeah, this particular rifle has a weak detent spring in the charging handle. Normally that doesn't happen, and it actually wasn't noticeable while shooting.
    30
  2145. +Hughes Enterprises Coming soon, actually. :)
    30
  2146. skeligandrew There is no license to own a tank in the US. A live gun requires a $200 transfer tax, like any other NFA item - that's it.
    30
  2147. Thanks!
    30
  2148. Por que no los dos?
    30
  2149. Regular rifle.
    30
  2150. +PartTimeJedi Heh...actually that is my trophy from the Beard & Mustache contest at DEFCON last year. :)
    30
  2151. Those are 13 stars representing the original 13 colonies. A six-pointed star is simply how one can symmetrically arrange 13 points.
    30
  2152. Glad you like the series! YouTube comments are not for the faint of heart. :)
    30
  2153. We have that on the InRangeTV channel.
    30
  2154. I will be doing a complete series on French rifles, but it won't be for a couple months (sorry).
    30
  2155. You should stop watching then.
    30
  2156. In a nutshell, recoil operated designs rely on part of the gun (usually the frame or receiver) remaining in place (held by you, or by a tripod) while the recoil force from firing pushes a second part of the gun (usually the barrel and bolt) backwards. This allows the breech to stay locked while the internal part is moving backwards. Once it has moved a certain distance, the breech will unlock and the empty case will be ejected.
    30
  2157. I am a staff researcher for ARES on a contract basis.
    30
  2158. It is nothing like a G3.
    30
  2159. +caolila123 $25,000, give or take.
    30
  2160. I am working on a book on these pistols, to be announced soon - they are really interesting!
    29
  2161. +RapidRrobert I won't; don't worry.
    29
  2162. Only about 200 were imported into the uS before Bush Sr.'s assault weapon import ban cut them off.
    29
  2163. The propellent is compressed into a solid block encapsulating the projectile.
    29
  2164. Repeating as in holding multiple rounds in the gun.
    29
  2165. I did - took the bolt out.
    29
  2166. Looks like fun.
    29
  2167. Both.
    29
  2168. +Daniel Taylor Thanks! I don't have a cable subscription myself, so I haven't been able to see the Gun Stories episodes yet. When it's all aired then I'll get a DVD copy...hope they look good! :)
    29
  2169. We didn't anticipate that it would collapse like that, and once we were there it was too late to change anything.
    29
  2170. Short recoil is the most practical system for automatic pistols, and the significant majority of all of them use it, not just German ones. The entire 1911/BHP family is short recoil.
    29
  2171. There are some out there that were made (and dated) pre-1899. Not many though.
    29
  2172. It's an original, on a Sendra receiver.
    29
  2173. As I said in the description, it was filmed a couple years ago but never published. There is a similar one posted on the Gerat 06(H), though.
    29
  2174. +itsconnorstime That is exactly what I was doing in the video.
    29
  2175. j0nthegreat Yeah, pretty much.
    29
  2176. +Griffin Guzman He set up the spinner target and then went back to a pub.
    29
  2177. Yeah, me too! Eventually I will get access to one of these I can shoot, and I will take along the high speed camera when I do.
    29
  2178. +The Hiphopopotamus Cutting the barrel down won't make it any more concealable; the barrel is the same length as the stock and receiver.
    29
  2179. +Darkninja282 Probably the Winchester 1895.
    29
  2180. What part of "I'm not a gamer" did you miss?
    29
  2181. https://www.reddit.com/r/ForgottenWeapons/comments/bjixnc/coordinating_international_orders_for_ians_book/
    29
  2182. The system in the PA-15 is true short recoil, rotating barrel locked breech (same with the Steyr Hahn, Beretta PX4, and Grand Power, among others).
    29
  2183. What is your source for that information?
    29
  2184. I would take a FAMAS over an L85A1 100 times out of 100. The FAMAS rifles that don't work are the ones that have simply worn out from decades in service; the L85A1 was a mess fresh out of the factory.
    29
  2185. +135th Darksword Rigth at the end of the description; 150,000-250,000 in this case.
    29
  2186. +blaren1 I hate to disappoint, but that frequency is only during the runups to auctions. After tomorrow, it will drop to 2/week for a little while (although there will be 2 more per week from InRange...) http://www.youtube.com/InRangeTVShow
    29
  2187. I'm doing a lot more with them this year. There are no places where I could find the same volume of interesting guns (short of the Pattern Room), so I jumped at the chance. I am not, however, an employee of either of them.
    29
  2188. Han fired first.
    29
  2189. Yes.
    29
  2190. +William Stetar They can use any of those fuels, but diesel is the safest.
    29
  2191. Yes, they do. All of my videos on the platform prior to this year were automatically scraped from YouTube.
    29
  2192. A pistol grip stock would be easy, although modification to use a Bren mag would be a bit tricky. The real problem is that the design isn't all that good when it gets dirty, which is why it was only used by the Royal Air Corps (not much mud up in the planes).
    29
  2193. Arshin.
    29
  2194. Water cooling simply makes a gun too heavy to be portable, and tactics from WWII forward put a big emphasis (and rightly so) on mobility.
    29
  2195. Glad you enjoyed it! There are a few more videos coming about other parts of the SA80 program...
    29
  2196. Yes, the action recoils into the stock using a spring-loaded buffer.
    29
  2197. There is a common joke among US gun collectors about French rifles being never fired and only dropped once, because soldiers dropped them and fled (I think it started because of the imports of factory refurbished MAS 36 rifles being imported, which looked brand new). My point with the shirt is that they were typically dropped only once: when the poilu carrying them was killed in combat.
    29
  2198. Nope, I don't know of any. You'll have to figure it out on your own...
    29
  2199. Alas, I cannot find it now. :(
    29
  2200. RIA sponsors my main web site, ForgottenWeapons.com (you can see their ad banner there). I don't have any financial interest in the sales of the guns I'm doing videos on, but if the publicity gets RIA some new customers, it's more likely they will bring me back to do this sort of thing again.
    29
  2201. Lol...that should be fixed shortly. Sorry!
    29
  2202. There were a bunch of people inside and it just wasn't feasible to film while I was there - sorry!
    29
  2203. +zellerized The space in the breechblock is only big enough for one round at a time.
    29
  2204. Send me the ammo, and I will.
    29
  2205. Yes, Keith was a Mason.
    29
  2206. Probably an A-10; possibly an F-16.
    28
  2207. Sorry about the additional ones you'll have to suffer through, then.
    28
  2208. The musket used a socket bayonet, which required a couple inches of exposed barrel to mount.
    28
  2209. Shrewd _GC Unfortunately, the ATF exemption is only for pre-WWII guns. If you buy a newer Chinese one (like one with detachable mags), it will have to be registered in order to legally use a stock.
    28
  2210. Giving a .45 to a novice shooter is a recipe for lifelong flinching and bad habits. The point of a .22 is to allow people to learn proper fundamentals without the recoil, so that they can later move up to a more powerful cartridge with a basic skillset already in place. It also reduces ammunition costs.
    28
  2211. +Demolition Mike That is done because the powder is loaded separately from the projectile and brass case base (which is there to expand and create a gas seal upon firing). It's not a self-container cartridge, and could not be used in a normal type of magazine.
    28
  2212. +Rick VanD I'm heading to the range today for a shooting video with a couple WWII flamethrowers. That work for you? :)
    28
  2213. That is a very good point which I had not thought about. Thanks!
    28
  2214. No, they were never issued.
    28
  2215. I've shot one, and it was fine - nothing really earth-shattering though.
    28
  2216. Lol have you seen my hair?
    28
  2217. Dr. Evil.
    28
  2218. I believe the shooters both were using a VFG forcefully, and had them snap off at the end of travel, resulting in their hands moving up in front of the battle as they pulled the trigger.
    28
  2219. Here, this should be much better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHtw5Vao-2k
    28
  2220. Replacing the bolt head would probably render it useable again. I may just do that and hold onto it for someday building into a Huot replica. :)
    28
  2221. True...
    28
  2222. brenton adams  A lot of US military trials rifles were sold as surplus on the civilian commercial market after the testing was done, back in the day. This is how all the Savage .45 pistols wound up in priviate hands, for example, along with all the different types of trials repeating rifles from the 1870s-1890s (Remington-Keene, Remington-Lee, Chaffee-Reese, Winchester-Hotchkiss, etc).
    28
  2223. No, far from it.
    28
  2224. Thanks!
    28
  2225. The Danes also brought us the Madsen, the world's first practical LMG. They used this crap because it gives you serious style points.
    28
  2226. +SheFF That story is simply not true.
    28
  2227. +elektro3000 The 5-round magazine is fully enclosed in the stock, and not liable to be damaged.
    28
  2228. Ha! No.
    28
  2229. We're thinking either a Gewehr 98 or an artillery Luger.
    28
  2230. No, I paid him for it.
    28
  2231. Yes, the sights do match the trajectory. Since the barrel is much shorter than a rifle, the angle of inclination is much steeper than a rifle would be when you get to the high end of the leaf.
    28
  2232. Yep, I've got a bunch more coming between now and the weekend of the 6th!
    28
  2233. Actually, I think the .45 lasted so long because the US military viewed the handgun as an actual combat weapon, where for a long time (and perhaps still) European nations saw them more as a badge of rank.
    28
  2234. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf10DTtvirg
    28
  2235. Alas, we didn't have the chance to lug this one out to a range.Also, FWIW, it's chambered for .45 Gardner-Gatling, which isn't exactly easy to find anymore.
    28
  2236. This video had just over 400k views before the BF1 crowd discovered it.
    28
  2237. +Shawn Gates It's a 1910 Ross. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaSui_UqDX8
    28
  2238. +Andre Krumins Yes, you certainly could.
    28
  2239. We do not have a single letter for "Sh" like Cyrillic does.
    28
  2240. A little part of me is disappointed that I didn't get the chance.
    28
  2241. Lord Kiltridge Slow down a moment - nobody is going to be destroying this!
    28
  2242. I also did one on a Smith-Jennings a while back. :)
    28
  2243. It's in the description text of every regular video.
    28
  2244. Thanks!
    28
  2245. Yes.
    28
  2246. Well, they made them in .222 Remington for civilian sale in France...
    28
  2247. The Mauser would obliterate the Mosin.
    28
  2248. They do, after it happens (November 16)
    28
  2249. +BushmasterXM15E2S It's not an NFA item, it was simply prohibited from import by the Assault Weapons Ban because of its features. If you owned one before the AWB took effect, you could keep it without any issues.
    28
  2250. Very cool!
    28
  2251. +Heather Spoonheim I appreciate the concern, but I am fine. I film the auction house videos over the course of a couple days, so when I have a cold or a cut on a finger it looks like it lasts for a long time simply because the videos publish over a much longer period than it took to film them.
    28
  2252. Yep, that one is coming.
    28
  2253. Excellent!
    28
  2254. Alex Krasikow Nope, I just like to take best advantage of a good opportunity.
    28
  2255. Contact them; some things can and some can't.
    28
  2256. I have a 2-part episode on it coming in a few days.
    28
  2257. No, because I only have a Beretta. But the match video posts Friday. :)
    28
  2258. +Kristiano Bertucci It didn't sell - didn't meet the consignor's minimum (I don't know what that was).
    28
  2259. All the others?
    28
  2260. Second were the split-up versions of the Villar Perosa.
    27
  2261. When pouring from a pot, milk goes in the cup first. When brewing in the cup, milk goes in last.
    27
  2262. Thanks!
    27
  2263. US direct military involvement came late, but US economic involvement was extensive and essential.
    27
  2264. Sorry. I have no control over the ads that are run.
    27
  2265. Błyskawica. It's coming. :)
    27
  2266. I will be running it twice, once in Hunter and once in Infantry.
    27
  2267. Yes, I have, but haven't done a video on them.
    27
  2268. Would you study antique cars without ever driving them?
    27
  2269. It's coming; I've already filmed it.
    27
  2270. +Danzig Rulze No, it's a replica British WWI trench cap.
    27
  2271. I already have one ;)
    27
  2272. British-made Chassepot contract.
    27
  2273. France and Scotland have been friends and allied for a very long time. :)
    27
  2274. Where did you find that suggested?
    27
  2275. +Maciej Pociecha I know, right? :)
    27
  2276. Kenny VanCleave A typical Type 97 sniper is going to be $3k-$4k. Having a matching scope would increase that, but I don't know how much.
    27
  2277. I do have a video on a Grafton Vetterli that has not published yet...
    27
  2278. WhatPriceGlory.com
    27
  2279. The Type 94 left some things to be desired, but overall Japanese weapons (both pistols and larger guns) were of excellent quality. The Type 14 and earlier Nambu pistols were very good guns, although a bit handicapped by a light cartridge. Japanese officers did often buy foreign pistols, but this was prior to WWII, when they had to provide their own sidearms. In those days, officers in many countries often chose non-domestic designs.
    27
  2280. Bryan Johnstone The Burgess company was bought out by Winchester, and shut down to reduce competition with the Winchester 1897 pump shotgun.
    27
  2281. Smooth.
    27
  2282. +quarktron Muzzle brake, bolt travel length, inline design, and recoil buffer in the stock.
    27
  2283. Just the key to the case - not sure what was originally supposed to fit there.
    27
  2284. I played all of them, as well as multiplayer.
    27
  2285.  @ripvanwinkle2002  I bought this at auction in France, it wasn't from RTI.
    27
  2286. "Marky Mark" Markus Gaming/LurkingFan4 Not perfectly, no. It was in the first wave of repeating cartridge guns, so I'm sure it didn't always work quite right.
    27
  2287. No.
    27
  2288. We did wipe the gun down after handling it. Our policy with gloves is to use them if the weapon's owner does so, or requests it of us. He wasn't concerned, so we just made sure to clean the gun when finished.
    27
  2289. Send me some photos if you do! admin@forgottenweapons.com
    27
  2290. Shhh....be vewy qwuiet...I haven't made this one pubwic yet...
    27
  2291. The pistols weren't actually intended to be a part of the theme, but it happened to work out that way. Besides, switching to a Luger and .455 Webley wouldn't have changed anything in the results.
    27
  2292. Thanks!
    27
  2293. Yep, it's definitely the best type I've ever used too. Very smooth. Or course, they are really rare today, and cost a couple hundred bucks each, if you can find them for sale. Sigh.
    27
  2294. It was at 6000 feet elevation, but no - I am totally not kidding you. I am also not making any attempt to portray myself as a champion runner. :)
    27
  2295. +Shane Bairstow The .280/30 was better because it was a lighter bullet and lower velocity. The .308 is more powerful than necessary for an infantry rifle, and the .280/30 would have been a better compromise of power and shootability.
    27
  2296. I really like the Scout. Before I had a Fix, that was my hunting rifle.
    27
  2297. No, it's a live machine gun. It's also in Belgium, and legal there.
    27
  2298. Very technical.
    27
  2299. Don't tell me you were surprised to find a book review after you clicked on a video entitled "Book Review"...
    27
  2300. GreenDayFan, you are mixing up copyrights and patents. Patents cover invention, and last 20 years. Copyrights cover creative work, and last 70 years from the creator's death.
    27
  2301. skeligandrew Projectiles with more than a quarter ounce of high explosive require a $200 transfer tax each, and an approved storage magazine. The vast majority of tank and artillery owners just shoot solid (non-explosive) projectiles, and thus have no additional legal or tax requirements.
    27
  2302. +KillerSalmon Yes, that paint scheme was standard practice.
    27
  2303. I have my doubts that such a technique would actually work reliably outside very carefully controlled conditions.
    27
  2304. +Orlando Medeiros I thought it had potential to be funny, but it didn't come out quite right...and then I forgot to cut it out of the video before uploading. Whoops.
    27
  2305. I think this is a perfect time to present rational, factual, and nonpartisan information on something that is of relevance at the moment to a lot of people.
    27
  2306. I have no control over the ads that YouTube runs, unfortunately.
    27
  2307. Unfortunately, on today's internet it is impossible to express any actual excitement about a new product without being immediately labelled a shill. Too many people want to only see commentators crap on everything, and too many commentators are willing to hype anything for the opportunity to create content. It is rare enough that I find something new that I really am excited for, and I will continue to do content like this when I have the opportunity to help promote something I thing really deserves promotion.
    27
  2308. There was really zero concern about depriving German arms companies of their property. When the French ended their occupation of Mauser, they took all the portable machine tools with them and blew up the buildings. Things like art are/were much more of a concern because art was typically taken from museums or citizens of occupied countries.
    27
  2309. That's not really true, as I explain in the video.
    27
  2310. Not really banned, but restricted. There are a few transferrable ones on the registry, including the one we shot in this video.
    27
  2311. Yes! :)
    27
  2312. I guess it depends how you define drum and pan. If pan means cartridges oriented radially and drum means having them longintudinal, then you'd be correct.
    27
  2313. https://youtu.be/pMGq2hFTnvM
    27
  2314. It's not because they are in the UK, it's because the guns in there are on open access racks, not behind glass. It is simply not practical to have the quantity of visitors that open public access would entail without significant problems of theft and damage. Reserve collections in American museums are the same way.
    27
  2315. Could be an interruption, could be I sneezed, could be a I flubbed a fact - any number of things. I don't pre-script my videos, and being done on the fly I don't always get everything quite right on the first take.
    27
  2316. Thanks!
    27
  2317. When I have another chance at one of these guns, yes.
    26
  2318. +Jonas Kilian Why shouldn't they be able to?
    26
  2319. Sorry - I have no control over the ads.
    26
  2320. I have no idea; guess we will find out. I saw Hickok's video, but I can't find anything new or different in the YT rules. Of course, when they did the suppressor thing that wasn't actually announced or in the rules either.
    26
  2321. If you wanted me to speak German, you should have tried harder in 1918...
    26
  2322. Here's a good overview: https://www.shootingillustrated.com/content/5-best-shot-timers-on-the-market-today/
    26
  2323. I'm working on it...
    26
  2324. I think the estimate is low, personally. But I've seen stranger things happen...
    26
  2325. Michael Eversberg II Strips are more compact, for one thing. When they were developed belts were made of cloth, and were susceptible to expanding and contracting when they got wet, which was not a problem with strips.
    26
  2326. It's a bit of a tricky question simply because I don't want to put words in Othais' and Maes' mouths - it would be best to ask them. But the short answer is that they were the first channel I spoke to, I would love to have them join us, and they have an open door to do so at any time.
    26
  2327. There is a specific consideration for US citizens living abroad who want to bring gun(s) back into the US.
    26
  2328. "GRAD" is an acronym for Global Research And Development. The piece has no Russian connection, claimed or real.
    26
  2329. Teddy Craig That was actually an FN Model 1910.
    26
  2330. It's a patch for competitors.
    26
  2331. On the 1911, the "idiot mark" is a curing scratch from the slide stop pin being removed poorly. On the Type 14, moving the safety from safe to fire and back will inevitably leave a semicircular scratch on the gun, which I called an "idiot mark" because of its similarity to the one on the 1911.
    26
  2332. Perceptions can be changed. It's not done rapidly, but it can absolutely be done.
    26
  2333. The SP5 is made by HK.
    26
  2334. They actually did design just that: https://youtu.be/szlJ9qy_SCg
    26
  2335. There were AR-1 through AR-18.
    26
  2336. Perhaps you have heard of Marines? :)
    26
  2337. +Yuri V No, chain firing happens when the spark from one cap jumps chambers - it doesn't require a second cap detonating.
    26
  2338. Merci!
    26
  2339. The transfer is not optional. If you are not legally prohibited from owning the gun (ie, felony conviction) they must approve it.
    26
  2340. Yeah, the accuracy was actually testing how well zeroed the Hi-Point sights are from the factory.
    26
  2341. +JDshootsalot Cool! What program?
    26
  2342. It's the flag of the Habsburg monarchy.
    26
  2343. Turns out it's actually a French Dartien trials gun. Got beaten by the Modele 1873.
    26
  2344. No, the US didn't have any combat action between 1936 and 1941.
    26
  2345. 8mm Mauser
    26
  2346. +Gambantein Gun was used by Finland = Finnish gun. If you have a Mauser made in Germany and then bought and issued by the Argentine military, you would call it an Argentine Mauser.
    26
  2347. I do the Forgotten Weapons blog as my full-time job. :)
    26
  2348. Yes, the stock doubles as a holster. You're not really intended to have a second pistol in there, though.
    26
  2349. +Gun Sense (drmaudio) It really was.
    26
  2350. Nein.
    26
  2351. Not so great, but not because of any problem with the rifle.
    26
  2352. +Kris Bluefield Yes, a bunch of Olympic biathlon rifles use a manually operated toggle lock.
    26
  2353. You can 3D print a gun called a Liberator (and it's named in homage to this one), but it's a totally different design.
    26
  2354. A reproduction StG-45(M).
    26
  2355. Yeah, that’s a true story.
    26
  2356. I was when I filmed this a couple weeks ago, but I have since returned home. I did 5 videos in the Beretta museum during my visit.
    26
  2357. @willysmb7514 If you want one in a non-original caliber, the project for you to watch is the HMG Strumgewehr, now owned by PSA.
    26
  2358. It's the flag of the Kingdom of Italy, used until 1946.
    26
  2359. Yeah, I don't know where "shaving down the firing pin" came from, but it definitely took hold with some people who know nothing about firearms mechanics. No armorer would ever make such a claim.
    26
  2360. It will be on Friday.
    26
  2361. The barrel can be unscrewed and removed, on these. For normal muzzleloaders, you get a heavy rod with a corkscrew on the end. Screw it into the ball, and pull it out the muzzle. Not a trivial job. Today, it is usually done with a device for blasting compressed air into the nipple, behind the ball.
    26
  2362. All shotguns in the US are by default destructive devices unless deemed to have a sporting purpose, because the definition of destructive device is a firearm with a bore over 0.5 inches. As a matter of tradition, all shotguns are give that sporting purpose exemption. In this case, political lobbying led to the exemption being revoked for this one.
    26
  2363. +Red McCloud Mmmm....milk toast....
    26
  2364. I suspect he was close to deaf.
    26
  2365. Busy.
    26
  2366. Walt Lars There would have been, if that song wasn't copyrighted.
    26
  2367. Inertia tends to swing the lever upward/forward on recoil.
    26
  2368. To some extent, but more with the cartridge being made to fit the barrel length than the other way around.

  2371. It's a pedant detector. :)
    26
  2372. The last original one that sold at auction in the US went for about $50k - before that one they were more like $25k-$30k.
    26
  2373. If you want to support gun channels, including mine, the best thing you can do is watch on Full30.com instead of YouTube.

    26
  2380. gp556by45 Not wrong at all.
    26
  2381. I am sure Wikipedia is correct in all things.
    26
  2382. It is kinda the same shape, just reversed...
    26
  2383. If cycling the charging handle (using a pneumatic system, generally) doesn't work, you simply have a non functioning gun until you can land and access it from the outside.
    26
  2384. With a bit of practice/familiarity, I don't think it would take any longer to load than a standard box magazine.
    26
  2385. Yup. To put it in a nice case for traveling.
    26
  2386. Of course - thank you!
    26
  2387. The MP40 is similar, actually.
    26
  2388. If you bring one, I guarantee we will find a way to let you use it.

    26
  2391. TheAlexander1336 Yes.
    26
  2392. Wait for tomorrow... ;)
    26
  2393. I will try to add the back catalog eventually, but it take a long time because they don't have a function to scrape it from YouTube, and it's ~ 2,000 videos.
    26
  2394. +Lupyrius It's entirely in the receiver.
    26
  2395. Rifle cartridges are generally too powerful for safe blowback actions.
    26
  2396. I speak third best French.
    26
  2397. +Antonello Prodomo They tended to be used much more instinctively and close range, with the sights reserved for careful long shots. In that use, the small sights aren't all that bad; they allow good precision.
    26
  2398. Not a whole lot of "traditional" automatic pistol calibers to choose from in 1896...
    26
  2399. Yes, it could certainly be lethal. You can break the skin with a projectile well under 200fps, and not much more will break bone (especially with a relatively large projectile like the 11x17R). It's pretty wimpy by firearms standards, but definitely not a toy.
    26
  2400. Whose liability? Santa Barbara Systems?

    26
  2404. +Roborvski A carbine can be one of two things. Either a rifle-sized gun using a pistol cartridge or a shorter version on a rifle, using a rifle cartridge.
    25
  2405. +mechtech256 Yes! :)
    25
  2406. Not sure yet - we will have to see what interest is like. Possibly several smaller countries together in a single volume?
    25

    25
  2413. Cool! Can you post a link? I'd like to check it out!
    25
  2414. I will definitely be looking at their H&R line.
    25
  2415. I would be surprised if they did not.
    25
  2416. Gas piston will generally cost more, and is generally not necessary or an improvement. Stick with the original design unless you have a clearly articulated reason why a gas piston upper would work better for you.
    25
  2417. Always.
    25

  2419. +Adrien Perié It's not actually a regional auction. :)
    25

    25
  2421. I suspect it probably would be.
    25
  2422. Interesting - thanks!
    25
  2423. Good eye. :) That was a piece of folded paper I had stuffed inside the action to hold the crank handle in the rearward position.
    25

    25
  2429. What, you mean Yelp For YouTube?

    25
  2435. 10.
    25
  2436. ***** In the coming week or so I will have videos on a ZH-29, a Blake bolt action, and a Japanese Pedersen.
    25
  2437. Nope.
    25
  2438. ***** Sorry, but that's wrong on two counts. First, bumping the side of the gun will never disengage the safety (it simply doesn't work that way). Second, it takes much more than a "slight bump" on the sear to fire the gun - it requires a moderate amount of pressure focused on a specific small spot, and it has to push down below the level of the side of the pistol. Dropping the gun on the side won't do it, for instance.
    25
  2439. I'm not sure why that one was deac'd - I don't know of any current legal reason it would have to be. But it's been around for a long time, and who knows where circumstances may have found it over the last century.
    25
  2440. I don't know exactly who yet, but we will definitely have demos for people.

    25
  2447. +trued_2 Well, sorry guys. You will probably have these same complaints about a bunch of the videos in this series, because they were mostly done the same way. I added a reasonably heavy noise reduction filter to get rid of background hiss, and it sounds quite good on my editing desktop machine.
    25
  2448. I haven't tried it, but I suspect the barrel is too short to work with the kit properly.
    25
  2449. +PoLoMoTo2534 The bore is slightly smaller diameter than the chamber.
    25
  2450. Optical illusion; the barrel is straight.
    25
  2451. It's completely unavailable, unfortunately. Hard to even find data on it, much less actual cartridges.
    25
  2452. That is an Italian Alpini hat, current tissue. I bought it at a police/military supply shop in Rome.
    25
  2453. Colt never saw one of these. His inspiration came from Collier flintlock revolvers.
    25
  2454. Correct, I should have been clearer.

    25
  2462. Well, don't skip the outtakes. :) https://youtu.be/19MACwIfPQQ
    25
  2463. Yes.
    25
  2464. The G2 and G4 were the SIG 510 and Armalite AR10 respectively. They were not adopted; the designations were used in testing only.
    25
  2465. +Pprokop87 I believe it is.
    25
  2466. I am a history teach, just not one with a classroom :)
    25
  2467. Yes, in theory it would. What this would mean, were you to buy one and have a C&R license, is that once the NFA transfer cleared it could be shipped directly to you instead of having to transfer through a, dealer in your state.
    25
  2468. They are replaceable.
    25
  2469. +Scott Ruggels Well, I don't have any info on the camera specs, unfortunately. The MG15 originally held 75 rounds in the drum, for what that's worth.
    25
  2470. This rifle belonged to the same owner since the 1970s, if not earlier, and I met him a couple times before he died a few years back. The 38M that was the subject of legal action was a different one.
    25
  2471. Actually, that's a good point - I was not trying to pronounce Dutch, but rather Afrikaans. They are closely related, but not identical.
    25
  2472. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/movie-review-assembly-2007/
    25
  2473. Yes. But that's less critical than the initial draw and firing.
    25
  2474. This press conference is over!
    25
  2475. I would say about 200 yards.
    25
  2476. Got a piece you want to sell? Consider Guns.com's purchasing program:  https://www.guns.com/we-buy-guns
    25
  2477. It can't be - did you see any malfunctions? :) More seriously, the Chauchat was a long recoil action, where the Farquhar-Hill uses a gas piston.
    25
  2478. Yes.
    25
  2479. He does a pretty good job of making the subject engaging, don't he?
    25
  2480. +Chris Dauwalder Only on this one, because I put it together a while back.
    25
  2481. +George Costanza True; Norinco makes so very good stuff. In fact, the major Chinese arsenals during the 20s and 30s made good stuff too. What was not so good were the small shops.
    25
  2482. FWIW, the bolt handle on the Mauser G41 was there because the original rifle spec required it. Walther just ignored that line of the requirements.
    25
  2483. Have you read SubscribeStar's terms & conditions? They are not a viable alternative.
    25
  2484. Mid 5 figures - I'm not sure exactly what Colt's MSRP is right now.
    25
  2485. Better lighting and camera angles.
    25
  2486. +crossbow1203 It's a real bitch of a commute.
    25
  2487. No, that is not correct. The MKb-42s were all in 8x33.
    25
  2488. Interesting - could you send me those photos, or links to them? admin@forgottenweapons.com
    25
  2489. +Verdunveteran Very cool, thanks for the info! I found the photo but didn't know anything about the actual site. I would love to visit some WWI sites if/when I am able to get to France, and this sounds like a great one to put on my list. Thanks for your work helping to maintain it!
    25
  2490. punkermatt Yes, the follower acts independently of the grip panel.
    25

    25

    25
  2495. When I find one, definitely.
    25
  2496. +ImTheWaffleman Compared to every other LMG used in WWII (except maybe some of the Italian ones) the BAR was absolutely obsolete. It was reliable, but that was about it's only good characteristic. In every way the WWI version was actually better that the M1918A2 used in WWII.
    25
  2497. +B1rd0fpr3y I'm planning to!
    25
  2498. I spent this weekend shooting the Red Oktober Kalashnikov Championship as a narcotrafficante, so you will get lots of in-costume shooting action over on the InRangeTV channel starting in a week or so. :)
    25
  2499. I live near an Air Force base. :)
    24
  2500. Even preference in coffee brands is seen as a statement of political affiliation here today; it’s crazy.
    24
  2501. Yes, and my shameful vice.
    24
  2502. @RedXlV The features chosen by the writers of the AWB were not chosen because they were actually causing problems, they were chosen so as to define the scary black rifles that the writers wanted to get rid of.
    24
  2503. +Joe Meko I am told they work quite well, but the owner of this one is not interested in shooting it.
    24
  2504. +krmould Thank you!
    24
  2505. It is a pistol round, designed for a submachine gun.
    24
  2506. The comment farms are working overtime on this one today!
    24
  2507. The military ones are in .303 British, and the sporters are in .280 Ross (generally speaking).
    24
  2508. Thanks!
    24
  2509. Very true!

  2511. +cope030 Yep
    24
  2512. You realize that this one is for sale at auction, right?
    24
  2513. As a matter of fact, I have a Type 94 and 10 rounds of 8mm Nambu right here on my desk to do that with. :)
    24
  2514. Yes.
    24
  2515. +J. Murphy I don't know of a specific documented incident with a Porter, but chain firing with percussion guns was a real issue, if not a common one.
    24
  2516. +GLMtr Friction.
    24
  2517. This is the full version, which includes a question YouTube flagged it for. I was fighting that until the very last minute, so I made a version without the question. They unflagged the full version just after I published the shortened one.
    24
  2518. I just have to find one first... :)
    24
  2519. Thanks!
    24
  2520. +Dedfaction No, because they are simple blowback actions.
    24
  2521. YouTube just randomly turns them off these days. I turn them back on when I notice it, because of course YouTube doesn't tell you when they do it.
    24
  2522. Arguably it wouldn't be any less practical than the NAA mini-revolver belt buckle setup. :)
    24
  2523. I removed it; it wasn't supposed to publish yet.
    24
  2524. +James Carmean Ideally, it would have been 4 (one in the gun and 3 in a pouch). In practice, most had just a single magazine. You would be pretty lucky to get two.
    24
  2525. VideoGamerize Actually, the FG42 and StG44 were developed completely independently.
    24
  2526. +Dirk Diggler Very cool!
    24
  2527. Thanks!
    24
  2528. Yes, making the frame heavier would reduce the felt recoil. On the other hand, the gun was designed as a pocket pistol, and being small and light was probably more important than being comfortable to shoot.
    24
  2529. mkzhero The need for a high rate of fire is based on the speed of the aircraft - in WWI planes few really, really slowly by modern standards, and relatively low-RPM guns were just fine.
    24
  2530. The same as I read at the very beginning.
    24
  2531. For the time being, yes.
    24
  2532. Yeah - I just did another video of the Ljungman (out at the range, this time) and pronounced it properly for a change. :)
    24
  2533. I have a playlist with 50+ videos about the real guns.
    24
  2534. It's a measure of the chamber pressure, not anything external. 19.5 tons is equal to 38000 PSI, which was the chamber pressure for Mk VII .303 British ball.
    24
  2535. Honestly, the Vickers was boring. Push button; money becomes noise. If I was equipping a company of men togo off to combat it would be a great piece of kit, but for me there are better things I can do with the money invested in it.
    24
  2536. I would argue that .30-06, 8x57, 8 Lebel, and .303 were all overpowered for what they needed to do.
    24
  2537. +Jeremy Quigley It’s a blowback action, so there is no locking. What you are seeing there is the time it takes the hammer to fall.
    24
  2538. The gun is an NFA-registered Destructive Device, and can be owned by anyone who can own a firearms in the US, with payment of a $200 transfer tax.
    24
  2539. The Thompson SMG worked, but the Blish lock was extraneous in that design. As far as rifle-caliber arms, no - there has never been a successful one using the Blish system.
    24
  2540. That's what I'm here for. :)
    24
  2541. +David Bond That s/n 1 Winchester 1886 that sold in this auction for a bit over 1.2 million.
    24
  2542. +Anusideral None at all - that myth is entirely a myth (unless you are using it in an enclosed space, I suppose).
    24
  2543. ***** A shotgun, I believe.
    24
  2544. I don't know - but it does happen from time to time.
    24
  2545. Yes, they are still around. Still a 2- or 3-man shop, and they don't do much marketing. But they make really good stuff.
    24
  2546. No he hecho otros videos de armas españolas, pero tengo dos o tres armas de la guerra civil española para videos en la futura (incluyendo una Astra 400 "Ascaso")
    24
  2547. Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9e3UCcU00TTZGj0nXSisQ0dU1mAxAO4S
    24
  2548. I get far more from Full30...
    24
  2549. Normally this is a potentially useful metric, but 9x19 is a huge cost outlier. I can get 9x19 for 14c/round, so does that mean any 9mm pistol over $140 is a bad deal?
    24
  2550. Unfortunately, we aren't able to take that one shooting. :(
    24
  2551. Yeah, there is a good reason why designers don't do that anymore. All it takes is a failure of the little square tab in the front, and the slide flies off into your face.
    24
  2552. Fixed them.
    24
  2553. +The Black Smegma Glad to help - hope you recover quickly!
    24
  2554. SoldierGamingUnite No they aren't. #Dictatorship
    24
  2555. Eventually, yes.
    24
  2556. Then you find a person who knows more about guns.
    24
  2557. There are examples, but they are still regulated as machine guns.
    24
  2558. It's a really gaudy PPK. That's all.
    24
  2559. No, but I would be surprised if the 1913 military semiauto version did not.
    24
  2560. See note in description...
    24
  2561. Yes.
    24
  2562. +lefr33man Yes, he does. Works hard for his money and uses it to buy guns he finds interesting. Drives a 15-year-old Camry. :)
    24
  2563. What I do truly enjoy is learning something new each day. Today, it is the word "seppo". Cheers, mate!
    24
  2564. Lanchester, not Lancaster. That video is coming. :)
    24
  2565. All I can do is apologize - I have no control over the ads.
    24
  2566. They did, actually, although there are not any being sold with this one.
    24
  2567. +bennyribs I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology from Purdue.
    24
  2568. Frank Dantuono I have videos on both coming next month (although they are disassembly only, not shooting). Some comparative shooting would be very interesting to do, but will have to wait until I can dedicate some time and money to acquiring examples of both and setting up to make their paper cartridges.
    24
  2569. +Nathan Strang It's possible.
    24
  2570. The Elcan mount leaves a lot to be desired, and it has an eye box like a variable power scope.
    24
  2571. Filmed a couple today; not sure exactly when they will post.
    24
  2572. I like my current job better. :)
    24
  2573. Oops. Not supposed to happen.
    23
  2574. +Star Kicker Yes! :)
    23
  2575. Have you ever fired one in full auto?
    23
  2576. I am not now, and have never been, a member of the right-handed party...
    23
  2577. WWI British officer's cap (reproduction)
    23
  2578. Yep, I have spoken with them.
    23
  2579. No, this is not mine. Unfortunately.
    23
  2580. +gotdrift8 Depends on the gun...
    23
  2581. Next time I am in Italy, I will definitely arrange one!
    23
  2582. Two of them, actually. Got shooting footage as well as disassembly.
    23
  2583. +Robert Tauzer Well, remember that .32ACP was less than 10 years old when there were made.
    23
  2584. No, there is anot a semiauto civilian version available. This particular one was purchased by a state police department here for testing.
    23
  2585. Yes, both Sweden and Finland are adopting an AR-pattern 5.56mm rifle made by Sako. I will cover it later this year, hopefully!
    23
  2586. ToastyMozart The M1 Carbine is a different gun than the M1 Garand.
    23
  2587. The Perun is significantly heavier, but more modular and slightly easier to disassemble.
    23
  2588. Nope, that's standard length - barrel is a bit over 18". It looks shorter because the barrel jacket is a lot shorter than the barrel itself.
    23
  2589. It's an air gun that looks like a Thompson. :)
    23
  2590. Teddy Craig It was a .30 caliber gun, not 30mm. Specifically, an ANM-2 Browning salvaged form a crashed US aircraft and fitted with a stock from a Garand. The aircraft Browning had rates of fire around 1200 rpm. The gun in question here was called a "Stinger" by its creator.
    23
  2591. +Todd Colston Bankruptcy, I expect. :)
    23
  2592. How is it more complicated?
    23
  2593. I have seen it, and really enjoyed it.
    23
  2594. They were handloads, and the powder charge was figured out by trial and error. They are just powerful enough to run both a Type 94 or Type 14, and we didn't want to risk unnecessary damage or wear to the guns by loading them hotter.
    23
  2595. If you didn't see it, then yes.
    23
  2596. Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, which is based on the real event.
    23
  2597. Our driver is Dutch. :)
    23
  2598. It was originally in .30-06, but has been converted to 8mm because we have a lot more 8mm ammo. The Madsen design makes that conversion very simple.
    23
  2599. I think it was primarily that the 1903 Springfield was a much nicer rifle.
    23
  2600. There is no specific term I'm aware of, beyond simply "bent bolt".
    23
  2601. They are, if they were actually made 50 or more years ago. Not the design, but the specific gun in question.
    23
  2602. No, those two cartridges are just different names for the same thing.
    23
  2603. Both are correct.
    23
  2604. A smoothbore pistol is classified as an AOW, because it is assumed to be designed for shotshells. The Liberator wasn't, but the law applies the same anyway.
    23
  2605. Charles Baker I probably should do one...
    23
  2606. Welcome to war. Don't start one, or at least don't lose.
    23
  2607. +MattyLight30 Yes, it is
    23
  2608. They probably made a mandrel for reforming the magazine body and feed lips for armorer use, but I've never seen one. I'll set it aside; it might work fine in a Berthier conversion. ;)
    23
  2609. Kenny VanCleave Not at RIA. Their company policy is that they don't wear gloves (probably because the risk of slipping and dropping a gun outweighs the benefits). When I wear gloves on camera, it is because I am handling something from a museum or private collection which the owner requests that I use gloves with.
    23
  2610. mlovmo Proper use of ammo. Doesn't look awesome on video, but it's the best way to use a machine gun most of the time.
    23
  2611. The original plan for the stage was to have a larger sauna and have the whole squad go in, with shooters called out one at a time. But that was deemed a bit too unequal for the people at the beginning and end of each squad.
    23
  2612. Semiauto open bolt guns are restricted, but not single-shot things like this.
    23
  2613. Nope. I'm not a gamer.
    23
  2614. +GreyDevil Outside of .22 rimfire, no. Our ammo today is more standardized and that sort of adjustability is not really relevant.
    23
  2615. +Bikerbob59 Pretty typical show. I found a Nambu 94 mag, which was nice.
    23
  2616. Shoulder stocks made them popular, and popularity made them long-lasting, in a nutshell.
    23
  2617. I hate being wrong, and I am currently wrong. I went to take a closer look at my PA-15, and yeah - it's very similar in operation to the Savage. Definitely will require some more high speed footage, and in particular a comparison to the MAB Modele R.
    23
  2618. Yup, exactly
    23
  2619. Minute Man Nope.
    23
  2620. It's a surplus Finnish army shirt.
    23
  2621. This was filmed at the National Firearms Centre in Leeds, which is a museum.
    23
  2622. MAT-49 video is posting in mid January. :)
    23
  2623. The magazine safety.
    23
  2624. +Catt Yeah, more or less. Also the MP-35.
    23
  2625. Nope.
    23
  2626. DankintheBanK EzMoney You are probably thinking of the 1941 Johnson.
    23
  2627. > places 15 spots lower than if he'd used a semiauto :)
    23
  2628. The channel is a mix of old and new. This week is new stuff; all of last month was old, back to the 1770s.
    23
  2629. The USSR was a Union of Republics. One of which was Russia.
    23
  2630. Unfortunately, I didn't weigh the slide assembly. I say the delaying system was unnecessary because it was also tried without the ports in the barrel, and the action still worked without excessive battering. I do expect that moving the ports back (and possibly angling them to point forward) would have been more effective. I can't speak to whether a 7.62x39 build on the concept would be feasible - one of you guys should try it and let us know! :)
    23
  2631. Your concern has been noted. Forgotten Weapons Shooting Compilation
    23
  2632. That was in Finland. Lots of ARs in Finland.
    23
  2633. Yes on both counts, but always by phone or sealed bid. I have never been on the auction floor during one of their sales.
    23
  2634. Yeah, pretty much. :)
    23
  2635. I won because every person who contributed because of my videos got me an additional chance to win. :)
    23
  2636. +Matt Dickson The Remington M53. As far as I can tell, that's the only one that might legitimately have been better than the 1911.
    23
  2637. Not particularly.
    23
  2638. I filmed this before Othais published his, and did not have access to the cablegrams he located.
    23
  2639. xXxBlackwaterXxX I was on a reality TV show once, and it made me feel dirty.
    23
  2640. I did. :)
    23
  2641. Yes.
    23
  2642. The ones still left in my series are the MAS 44, MAS 49, MAS 49/56, MAS-36/51, and MAS 36 CR 39. Oh, plus the Meunier A6 and the MAS 49/56 MSE. And the Chassepot and Gras variations. :)
    23
  2643. No, that is the normal M95 carbine barrel length.
    23
  2644. Thank you, random commenter! :)
    23
  2645. +Bryce Christensen I film for about a week, edit and compile all the videos, and then post them one per day.
    23
  2646. M1903 Springfield clips work fine.
    23
  2647. I expect it would work quite well. Seems to be mechanically totally functional.
    23
  2648. Just a few things left to iron out on that one; we anticipate it being our next release.
    23
  2649. Hammer price at the auction was $6900.
    23
  2650. Having shot both, I can say with confidence that the FG42 would run circles around a 1918 BAR...no competition there at all. A match between a G43 and M1 would come down to shooter skill, as long as the G43 didn't break. The matchups you're describing for WWII aren't quite accurate. The US issued M1s to the general infantry, because the riflemen were the basis of American small-unit firepower. The Germans used the MG42 (or MG34) as the focal point of their small units, with K98k-armed riflemen supporting it and supplying ammunition. For this reason, it isn't so simple as bolt action vs semiauto.
    23
  2651. Probably the other way around; the Croatian ones had a much more successful service record.
    23
  2652. Because RIA doesn't use them, as a general policy. When handling guns anywhere, I defer to my hosts for this type of decision.
    23
  2653. The drums are finicky, bulky, and heavy. If I were taking a Bren into a gunfight, I would definitely choose to take 30-round box mags.
    23
  2654. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EHXRTJETqM
    23
  2655. +Emmeth Ro It was a thoroughly badass gun, and now that I realize he has it I am planning to do a proper video on it. :)
    23
  2656. I explain that in the video...
    22
  2657. One of the stretch goals is for a section to cover GoldenEye64...
    22
  2658. 101stGamerArmy For the record, I only did that after watching the rifle's owner do it, and he described it as being the procedure specifically recommended by the man who build this particular rifle.
    22
  2659. In the context of the MP7 development, "Soviet" is correct.
    22
  2660. Yeah, I didn’t phrase that well. I meant small in terms of military procurement.
    22
  2661. The bolt has a lot more mass than the barrel, and is not exposed to nearly as much heat when firing, so it doesn't really get hot. But the time it was difficult the handle, the rest of the gun would be massively overheated.
    22
  2662. 7.62x54R
    22
  2663. He went to prison in 2006.
    22
  2664. Thanks - FWIW, I would love to run one of these matches with a Mexican Mondragon semiauto if I could find anyone crazy enough to loan me one for the purpose. :)
    22
  2665. Yes, it is.
    22
  2666. I'm sure it will...
    22
  2667. It is a sneaky plan to lure in gamers and then teach them stuff when they don't expect it. :)
    22
  2668. Yes, two more that I have not published yet.
    22
  2669. A rifle, however, allows you to choose where all that lead goes. It's hard (granted, not impossible - but hard) to engage a partial no-shoot or hostage target with buckshot.
    22
  2670. No, not in any way.
    22
  2671. Actually, the SAR 21 and AUG have few mechanical similarities.
    22
  2672. +Rick R Some day, yes.
    22
  2673. +JZStudiosonline I'm not an employee of any auction house, and definitely not an owner. :) I get access to their guns in exchange for the publicity I can bring while looking at the most interesting things they have.
    22
  2674. +Tk3997 The Japanese were no different in this situation than the British. They had the Vickers heavy and Bren light, and the Japanese had the Type 92 heavy and the 11/96/99 lights.
    22
  2675. Submachine guns as a general rule do not need any locking system, because they are heavy guns firing light cartridges.
    22
  2676. The other one was an Ishapore .410 conversion of an SMLE.
    22
  2677. No, it can only be used right-handed.
    22
  2678. I have been told with no uncertainty that looking cool is the most important thing.
    22
  2679. +willy hearrell It'll last for another couple weeks, then we will drop back to 2/week for a while.
    22
  2680. Nope...not even a little bit.
    22
  2681. +scheven architect I am, starting now. Had a bunch of videos already in the queue though.
    22
  2682. US-89 and US-89A, between Hurricane Utah and Flagstaff Arizona
    22
  2683. Awesome, thank you!
    22
  2684. Yeah, I misspoke there.
    22
  2685. Different calibers.
    22
  2686. +Shane Bairstow I concur - I would not shoot one of these prone or from a bench.
    22
  2687. +Rl Badger Not Tiffany, but... http://www.rockislandauction.com/photos/67/p_ads/p_standard/WEB-PREVIEW-67-001-44.jpg
    22
  2688. I doubt even a Blendtec would be able to blend this.
    22
  2689. +Nonii 92 I suspect the choice was based on long experience with traditional stocks, and I prefer the pistol grip.
    22
  2690. Oh, I definitely am. There will be lots of video form the event.
    22
  2691. I don't understand people who think that documenting facts and events is the same as endorsing a person or group or position.
    22
  2692. I have filmed it, just not edited yet :)
    22
  2693. It really doesn't sound that loud to the ear - it was accentuated by the camera for some reason.
    22
  2694. Blow-forward mechanisms increase felt recoil, for one thing. Also, the Hino system makes it very easy to accidentally put your hand in front of the muzzle, and would be painful to cock after firing a magazine or two (as the barrel heats up).
    22
  2695. Yes.
    22
  2696. Yes, occasionally.
    22
  2697. I did run into him in the gym one morning. There will be something collaborative coming, I expect.
    22
  2698. It's coming; I have it filmed.
    22
  2699. You and me both! :)
    22
  2700. That one will return the next time we are launching a book I wrote. :)
    22
  2701. I don't know; I haven't been able to track down the air date either. However, Garand retired from Springfield in 1953, so I would suspect it was done in the early 50s.
    22
  2702. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8rq-wJyHhY
    22
  2703. Nope, they are live rounds.
    22
  2704. Mle 2019 M21 ;)
    22
  2705. Yes, that is correct
    22
  2706. +bitbrace Thanks!
    22
  2707. Compared to a sealed breech gun, yes.
    22
  2708. Sure, via PayPal at admin@forgottenweapons.com
    22
  2709. Care to elaborate on your experience shooting one?
    22
  2710. I am everywhere!
    22
  2711. All my books are for actual reference. The ones not in English are there because I can work my way through them with translation software when necessary, and they often have better info on odd guns from other countries than what is available in English.
    22
  2712. No, I did not buy it. Just timed the dubbing. :)
    22
  2713. Merci!
    22
  2714. They allow the length of the bolt to compress when firing.
    22
  2715. That's the MP41, and it's a different gun.
    22
  2716. These were made in 1917 and 1918.
    22
  2717. 37mm was the smallest shell size that could be legally used with HE, according to the Hague Convention.
    22
  2718. Most open bolt, full auto only fire control mechanisms are pretty similar.
    22
  2719. Yes, but there is a steel reinforcing tub inside that contains the recoil spring, so the crack is just cosmetic.
    22
  2720. There really is no disassembly beyond toking the bolt out...
    22
  2721. Yes, it will publish on Monday the 24th.
    22
  2722. Only this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaLyi1girNw
    22
  2723. Hooray!
    22
  2724. Yes, it is.
    22
  2725. Not yet, but I have one to film...
    22
  2726. Yes, it is
    22
  2727. SoldierGamingUnite If it wanted to live, it shouldn't have messed up its title card. :)
    22
  2728. ***** It was called the Abadie system, named after the Belgian gunsmith who invented it, and is a feature in a fair number of European revolvers dating as far back as 1878. The French 1892 revolver uses it, as do the Swedish Nagant revolvers (though not the Russian ones), the Italian 1889 Bodeo, and the Swiss 1882 revolver.
    22
  2729. Yes, for sure.
    22
  2730. No shooting of this one, but I did do some shooting with an EM2, which will be posting next week. :)
    22
  2731. As in, "OMG WTF is that?"
    22
  2732. I get a little better each time. :)
    22
  2733. Actually, the sticking point is a US import permit.
    22
  2734. No, it is exempted by name.
    22
  2735. +Edward Ross Thanks!
    22
  2736. Patreon is better, but they are both good.
    22
  2737. Yes, I filmed one. Don't have a posting date for that video yet.
    22
  2738. The TT33 is a Browning tilting barrel locked system.
    22
  2739. +Kenny VanCleave Nope...I would rather put the money today gun stuff. :)
    22
  2740. A lot of this material (especially at the Vilu museum) was abandoned by the Japanese during their inland trek to attack Edson's Ridge.
    22
  2741. I didn't consider that, but yes, I think that would be correct. Good catch!
    22
  2742. I would say it's a matter of relative firepower. The automatic rifle/machine rifle is intended to provide more fire than the service rifle it is being used with. Hence, BAR/Springfield and Chauchat/Lebel, and M27/M4.
    22
  2743. When I have a chance to shoot one, I will.
    22
  2744. I suspect it is just the nature of the design. As a semiauto only rifle, bolt bounce isn't a cause for practical concern.
    22
  2745. +elfinfluff That is how a number of anti-tank cannons were designed, as well as the PTRD AT rifle. I'm not aware of it being used in any shoulder rifles, though.
    22
  2746. I would keep an eye on eBay and GunBroker, and classified sections of sites like AR15.com. The mags turn up from time to time, but they aren't very common.
    22
  2747. Yeah, the MP9 trigger is not bad as a machine pistol trigger, but not good for a semiauto.
    22
  2748. Got a video on those coming shortly...
    22
  2749. Yes, it's filmed and coming.
    22
  2750. The Type 94 was not a late was design; it was introduced before WWII began. And it was not actually a hazard to those who carried it. This is a gun widely misunderstood.
    22
  2751. With blanks.
    22
  2752. All of it.
    22
  2753. Flamethrower.
    22
  2754. The gun was initially officially designated the MP43, then the MP44, and then the StG44 (minor changes being made along the way).
    22
  2755. +Henry Bivens I mention the date of the auction at the very beginning of every auction video.
    22
  2756. Why won't he ever shut up?
    21
  2757. Yes, it was outstanding.
    21
  2758. Against muzzleloading rifles, a whole bunch of guys with pikes are still a threat. They’re obsolete, but also really cheap compared to firearms.
    21
  2759. +griffn14 Yeah, I meant 9x20.
    21
  2760. BakeCakeMake Fake I work with both auction houses, it's just that RIA has about twice as many auctions as Julia. You will be seeing new video from both places in the next few months.
    21
  2761. If there is a cartridge in the chamber when you cycle the action, it's pushed out backwards and drops through an opening in the receiver.
    21
  2762. +Derek Dziobek Yes.
    21
  2763. +Tokio Express If you mean the takedown paratrooper rifle, yes (I own one).
    21
  2764. Here in the US, all the Pennsylvania Dutch speak English anyway.
    21
  2765. Because we are in a museum.
    21
  2766. +Takeoverartist1987 Yes.
    21
  2767. What is it called?
    21
  2768. +MrVideoyoulike It is going up for auction in about 2 weeks (see link in the video description).
    21
  2769. They already did - this information is published in plenty of places.
    21
  2770. If you have useful correspondence with GWACS, send it in. Otherwise, buy something from KE. :)
    21
  2771. Looking forward to seeing you there!
    21
  2772. It's an element that only exists outside of the United Kingdom, in a strange quirk of geology.
    21
  2773. To be clear, that usually doesn’t happen.
    21
  2774. Thank you!
    21
  2775. After the infamous Month Of Bergmann, I learned to vary the content a bit more... ;)
    21
  2776. I believe so.
    21
  2777. None.
    21
  2778. @KlaustheViking No, I just ignored it.
    21
  2779. +Simon P Nope, the markings are correct. I couldn't read them, and was speculating.
    21
  2780. I have a Mannlicher series coming up shortly, although it's only 3 videos.
    21
  2781. I just swap them around randomly for fun. :)
    21
  2782. http://www.forgottenweapons.com/early-semiauto-rifles/general-liu-rifle/
    21
  2783. Yes, I’m planning to
    21
  2784. +Rubber Chicken Because since 1934 machine guns were registered and their transfer taxed.
    21
  2785. Swiss, from the 30s I think.
    21
  2786. GetTheFO I don't think he has to worry about me... :)
    21
  2787. You have to have something to support the muzzle end of the barrel and to mount the recoil booster on - the same reason the Browning 1919 has a barrel shroud that goes all the way out to the muzzle.
    21
  2788. German export restrictions.
    21
  2789. +mattorama Nope, that would not be a problem.
    21
  2790. Yes, I have videos coming on the MkII and MkIII.
    21
  2791. The fellow running the camera on this video (and my G43 vid, and one more that hasn't been published yet) is the rifle's owner. He happens to be a vet, currently running on about 1/3 of one lung. If I'd realized the sound would be as noticeable on video as it is, I'd have used a different microphone setup. But I didn't, and so you hear him.
    21
  2792. I think these comments sections would be better without the fashion critique kid.
    21
  2793. +GrOuNdZeRo7777 Dangerous Things Channel The problem is that there is a huge gaping chasm between what would be cool to have reproduced and what would actually be profitable to reproduce.
    21
  2794. I’ll send you $200 for the ammo if you post a video entry where you make 1 MOA with an M82A1
    21
  2795. At the moment, Cheaper Than Dirt has surplus Greek 303, which is noncorrosive, reloadable, and generally excellent.
    21
  2796. Yes, definitely worse than the ARX.
    21
  2797. Anywhere, it uses standard .308/7.62 NATO.
    21
  2798. There is a significant difference between a proper factory-made Chinese Mauser and something like this, which may or may not have been heat treated.
    21
  2799. I dislike all political parties...and I prefer to stick to just talking about guns and not alienate anyone whose political views on other subjects are not the same as mine.
    21
  2800. Merci!
    21
  2801. Because their desire ability is specifically based on how scarce they are?
    21
  2802. No, that came from the movie Scarface.
    21
  2803. Touche.
    21
  2804. No, unrelated.
    21
  2805. The Lee Navy is actually a tipping bolt, technically. Opening the bolt cams the locking surface up out of battery. I don't think that having a cam-operated rotating bolt head disqualifies a gun as being a "true" straight pull.
    21
  2806. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCuVMx5h1x0
    21
  2807. Days? That gun has to go through an NFA transfer, and I most likely won't have it in hand until early 2018.
    21
  2808. As a lefty, shooting the FG42 is not a problem, speaking from experience.
    21
  2809. It's never about the ammo or the gas setting exclusively, it's about matching the two.
    21
  2810. If I am able to get access to one, yes.
    21
  2811. Yes, that is correct.
    21
  2812. I’m signing both Limited and Signature
    21
  2813. Yeah, but I like to live dangerously.
    21
  2814. Yes, it is treated like any other firearm legally.
    21
  2815. December.
    21
  2816. The attempted shooting video is coming in a few days.
    21
  2817. https://thetwistedtoucan.com/collections/frontpage/products/mr-suave-regular-fit
    21
  2818. The 43M is chambered for 9x25, not 9x23.
    21
  2819. No, the decision was based on it performance and capability, not its looks.
    21
  2820. Fixed. :)
    21
  2821. In my pocket. I don't actually smoke, I just like having a pipe.
    21
  2822. Ian Whited The guns that Century imported are usually just fine - I have a bunch of them myself. The ones they build or modified, though, have a pretty bad reputation.
    21
  2823. @Uua994 Sorry, US only.
    21
  2824. It is chambered for 9mm Largo, which is slightly less powerful than 9mm Parabellum.
    21
  2825. Heh...that spot is a sticker on the wall that was used as a reference point for some previous slow motion filming someone else did. :)
    21
  2826. Yes - and I don't think a right-hander could run a K31 much faster than a lefty. The bolt comes back far enough to prevent you from keeping a cheek weld while cycling.
    21
  2827. Gregory Kitchens I am very conscious of safety, but not beyond the point of reason. I think your expressed concerns here are a tempest in a teacup. If you really want to be freaked out, have a look at some of my video from the Suarez training class I attended, where we did bounding fire drills actively running downrange of other people shooting.
    21
  2828. +Thomas Ronnberg No, they are definitely bullet holes.
    21
  2829. +Tulle Rönnmyr Flash hider for both the muzzle and the gas system.
    21
  2830. I plan to film one in a few months, if all goes well.
    21
  2831. Never seen an auction with an attendance charge, but they do take a cut from both buyer and seller.
    21
  2832. Thanks!
    21
  2833. superbrofire Yes, I have. Most recently, I just won the Type 30 Arisaka I recently did a video on.
    20
  2834. Colt did not offer the 1911 in 9x19 at that time.
    20
  2835. SnarkyPosters Yep.
    20
  2836. Galand was French.
    20
  2837. In a few places, but not France.
    20
  2838. Someone did make repos a few years back; they sold for $500-$600.
    20
  2839. Awesome! :)
    20
  2840. Between WWI and WWII, absolutely. FN made a bunch of improvements, and their guns were bought by a bunch of countries.
    20
  2841. It will be, and will probably launch in a couple weeks.
    20
  2842. Actually, modern bullpup designs go back at least to the 1901 English Thornycroft.
    20
  2843. When the other 200gr soft points were both so high and the PPU dead on, I opted to not bother with the hunting ammo. I don't know where to source more of it anyway.
    20
  2844. I don't work for RIA; I just go gun videos.
    20
  2845. Two different names for the same thing, just like 8mm Mauser and 7.92x57.
    20
  2846. Metal: Pancor Jackhammer Jazz: Colt Cloverleaf, as used by Jubilee Jim Fisk
    20
  2847. +sotijas I am independent - both RIA and Julia are clients of mine.
    20
  2848. Awesome! :)
    20
  2849. My hope is that C&Rsenal will decide to join us once we prove that the endeavor is successful.
    20
  2850. Full auto is mechanically simpler than semi auto. The problem is that because full automatic is pretty heavily regulate din most places, people assume it must be a lot better. In actuality, rifles like this one would be far less practical firing fully automatic, which is why designers and militaries specifically wanted semi only.
    20
  2851. The ammo isn't made commercially any more (at least not that I know of). There were a bunch of different varieties, and you might be able to find some through collectible ammo dealers. I expect a bunch of them could be used in a normal .22, but regular .22 ammo is not safe to use in a Flobert type action.
    20
  2852. I already have some footage of a Schwarzlose 1908 at 2000 fps, but after looking at it I decided that I really need to go a bit faster to see good detail. I'll do that later this week, so the video will be up in a few days.
    20
  2853. I haven't found any original reports on the accuracy, but I would expect it to be quite good because of the fixed barrel.
    20
  2854. Yep. That video is coming....
    20
  2855. I think because they were familiar with the 1900 from official Chinese Army use before the Revolution. There were copies of the 1903 and 1910 made too, though.
    20
  2856. We are sleek and efficient and futuristic in our optimization of spelling, as you will also see in our eschewing of the extra "i" from aluminum.
    20
  2857. +RedXlV Yup
    20
  2858. Yes, at the end of the video.
    20
  2859. Because they like the gun?
    20
  2860. I will have a video on this next week - basically, the chamber for the original 7.5x58mm round would also fit and fire 8x57 Mauser. But the massive overpressure from trying to squeeze the 8mm bullet down to 7.5mm blew up guns (and lots of war capture MG08 Maxims were in use by French troops during the postwar period, so the ammo was lying around). So they shortened the 7.5 case length to 54mm so Mauser rounds could no longer be accidentally fired.
    20
  2861. I was being nice; you got 5 non-Berthier videos each week. :)
    20
  2862. It didn't leave a permanent mark, but yeah - it did hurt. With a modern smokeless powder it would be much worse.
    20
  2863. Never, at this rate. :)
    20
  2864. Oops - thanks!
    20
  2865. If I can ever get my hands on one, yes.
    20
  2866. Michael Crosby Nope, no military service in my past.
    20
  2867. I called ATF and they told me it's just the year that matters.
    20
  2868. The gloved were clean when I started...and the point is to prevent skin contact, not to keep the gun clean.
    20
  2869. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/garand-pronunciation/
    20
  2870. That could make sense...
    20
  2871. In some designs, yes (in particular, rimfire ones).
    20
  2872. It's free on Utreon/Playeur, as I also explain in the video.
    20
  2873. I might have secret inside information rendering it unnecessary to see that list. ;)
    20
  2874. https://www.headstamppublishing.com We have a huge variety of beautiful and informative firearms books available and shipping right now from Headstamp Publishing! From Japanese tobacco to British bullpups to Chinese mystery pistols, there really is something here for anyone who enjoys firearms...
    20
  2875. That is a really cool story, Tony! If you have any interest in making a short video showing the rifle cycling and firing, I would love to publish it - please feel free to drop me an email at admin at forgottenweapons dot com if there is anything I can do to persuade you! :)
    20
  2876. Yep, that is the anti-bounce spring. In the HK, it's far stronger than necessary.
    20
  2877. No, German paratroops had the FG42 instead. But you should definitely check out the blog tomorrow to see what a paratroop StG44 would have looked like. ;)
    20
  2878. I think their choices in single player campaign locations were good. They represent an interesting selection of scenarios, and obviously not everything could be included. I'm sure France and Russia will come along as DLC additions.
    20
  2879. Seemed appropriate for quatorze juillet. :)
    20
  2880. +Shira Assel Yup.
    20
  2881. Sounds like someone wants to sign up for a trip to Pedantic Terminology Island in the Gulag Archipelago... 😆
    20
  2882. Because this model was specifically made for the Brits. My other Ballester videos use the Argentine flag.
    20
  2883. Countries with domestic military arms manufacture typically used their own specific cartridges (like Britain, for instance). Countries that didn't would use cartridges designed by whatever company they bought guns from. Mauser, for instance, offered its rifles in 7mm, 7.65mm, and 8mm, each of which was adopted by a bunch of countries.
    20
  2884. +Michael King They allow you to see the impact at a distance for range estimation. This is important for directing both volley fire from infantry and also artillery fire.
    20
  2885. The weight limit is because the people who claim they can do 1 MOA all day are not serious match shooters. They are inevitably guys with standard-profile Remington 700s in .300 Ultra Mag with Burris scopes from the 90s.
    20
  2886. The rationale for patents is to encourage innovation by giving inventors a legally-protected monopoly on their new ideas for a few years.
    20
  2887. 1. Start with basic, practical guns - save the old milsurp for later. 2. Zero your guns 3. Go do it.
    20
  2888. +traderjoes Well, keep in mind that I tend to do videos on particularly unusual guns which often bring higher prices. There are plenty of more affordable things being sold, you'd just have to look through the catalog yourself to find them.
    20
  2889. +Air Budd Not that I am aware of, no.
    20
  2890. +IfTomorrowWar Didn't initially plan on this being published. :)
    20
  2891. It is, but I had some other equally knowledgeable folks helping me
    20
  2892. Older rifles generally have large cleaning rods, and they are best situated on the bottom of the stock, so the bayonet goes on the side. When smokeless powder replaced black, the bore diameter (and thus the rod diameter) reduced to the point that you could drill a hole in the bayonet handle to fit the rod, and put the bayonet on the bottom too.
    20
  2893. +Ian P Yup, it's a great series!
    20
  2894. Folding ramrod, apparently.
    20
  2895. Most of them had grip safeties, but the German military opted to omit that feature on their version. That then went on to be by far the most-manufactured type, so today the assumption is that they did not have grip safeties.
    20
  2896. Floatplane is a basic backup only. It has no discovery algorithm, and only paying subscribers can see any of the videos. As such, it is basically a walled garden, and isn't intended as a place to grow an audience.
    20
  2897. They belong to the Cody Firearms Museum, and are not for sale.
    20
  2898. Better, definitely. I would have been much faster on the long range. Reloads would have been about the same - half the mag capacity, but also half as many rounds fired.
    20
  2899. The penalty for dropped gear is really there for stage reset. If each person has to go back over the stage to pick up empty mags and such, it takes a significant amount of time over the course of the whole day. So the rule is to take everything with you, and the penalty enforces that. I don't know if they would have actually penalized me for the candy, but I didn't want to find out!
    20
  2900. It was designed and produced by an American.
    20
  2901. No. Recoil would cause it to reset.
    20
  2902. I corrected it. But I still think Dutch spelling is just letters chosen at random. :)
    20
  2903. The sights are offset to the side.
    20
  2904. Don't be. It was just a slip of the tongue.
    20
  2905. Generally none - if I plan to buy something myself I don't film it until after I have bought it.
    20
  2906. Je practique tous les jours... :)
    20
  2907. ...and for good reason.
    20
  2908. How about an M134 Minigun?
    20
  2909. +Knuckle Head Probably.
    20
  2910. No, I mean the planned Allied spring offensive of 1919.
    20
  2911. Pedersen devices are not worth anything near $100k. They were never used because they were all scrapped in the 1920s as unnecessary. Reproductions have not been made (IMO) because they require some permanent modification to the 1903 parent rifle, they are quite complex to make, and the ammo is unavailable and not easily replaced by any other caliber (you would need a straight-wall .30 caliber pistol round weak enough for a blowback action). And the number of people who actually follow through with money to buy reproduction guns is always a small fraction of the number of people who say they would.
    20
  2912. +Attila Rischt Safety.
    20
  2913. Welcome to the internet.
    20
  2914. It'll be a while; NFA transfers are running something like 9-12 months right now.
    20
  2915. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WtOOLh_F8I
    20
  2916. Pretty much every gun moves like that in slow motion. It has nothing to do with late war production.
    20
  2917. @robertdragoff6909 Federal Firearms License - a gun dealer.
    19
  2918. Vegetable slicer incident, actually.
    19
  2919. No, Morphy's is a legit auction house. Not all of them are, but Morphy's definitely is.
    19
  2920. We have a section on exactly this question... :)
    19
  2921. +Mike Prell Yup - or re-seating a ball after a squib.
    19
  2922. Check back in 600 years - they haven't built it yet.
    19
  2923. I use the flag that was in use at the time of the video subject. Sorry if it offends.
    19
  2924. You should buy more lottery tickets. :)
    19
  2925. Revolvers are a subset of pistols, although some people do use "pistol" to refer to self-loading handguns only. If you look at British revolver manuals from WWII, you will find them referring to the weapons all as pistols.
    19
  2926. Marstar has a range on site. The prohibition on shooting is not written in law, it is the result of the RCMP not issuing transportation permits for prohibited guns.
    19
  2927. You are welcome to do a bunch of revolver videos yourself and not ever mix the two words up occasionally. I am quite familiar with the difference.
    19
  2928. Most of the aircraft diggers were actually Marlin guns that used standard type charging handles.
    19
  2929. Awesome!
    19
  2930. My job is Professional Gun Nerd, thanks largely to Patreon. :)
    19
  2931. Nope. Closest thing is one of the South African (I think?) .50 BMG rifles recently developed which is long-recoil.
    19
  2932. When I get my hands on one.
    19
  2933. I would say that the somewhat archaic "automatic rifle" fits the FG-42 pretty well.
    19
  2934. If you win and live outside the US, we can ship the gun to a licensed exporter, but the whole export process is on you and them.
    19
  2935. Here is my take on this question: http://www.forgottenweapons.com/ak-and-stg-kissing-cousins/
    19
  2936. +James Basler Probably some northern Yankee.
    19
  2937. You first.
    19
  2938. You can today.
    19
  2939. 7.65 Porter Génial.
    19
  2940. I have zero control over the ads that are run - sorry.
    19
  2941. +revueltas28jr Not yet.
    19
  2942. Heh...that would make sense. Probably more likely to prevent an officer injury by designing the gun for foolproof reholstering than forcombat efficiency.
    19
  2943. Two springs.
    19
  2944. I would rather have a PKM than and MG3 or MG42, for what it's worth. The PKM is lighter and equally or more reliable.
    19
  2945. +Millwater Publishing Yes, usually.
    19
  2946. Indeed it would be!
    19
  2947. Door is open any time they want to.
    19
  2948. The first that I am aware of was the British Thorneycroft, shortly before WW1.
    19
  2949. Mostly bolt weight and spring force.
    19
  2950. Sure, there have been a bunch of recoil operated rifles. The Johnson M1941, for instance, and the Remington Model 8/81. The Browning 1919/1917 matching guns are all recoil operated, if you want to count them.
    19
  2951. It is true.
    19
  2952. Thanks!
    19
  2953. Son of a Zombie Deliberately destroyed after the war, lost in combat, stuck in foot lockers in old vets' attics, etc.
    19
  2954. Fixed, thanks.
    19
  2955. Good point. In this case, it was "R & D" - Research and Development.
    19
  2956. It was a prop gun made of Beretta 38s.
    19
  2957. Ads are served based on the person watching, not the video content.
    19
  2958. +Andrew B Yup, I will do one after the auction.
    19
  2959. I did off-camera; he has not looked at them.
    19
  2960. +traderjoes The actual name has always been "Rock Island Auction Company", and I just opted to pay more attention to that fact this time. :)
    19
  2961. And here I always thought it was just a ninja weapon!
    19
  2962. Danke!
    19
  2963. I just goofed and put in the wrong publication date the first time.
    19
  2964. Ejection throughout the whole match was actually very consistent - right into my face. They are fixing that in the final production version thanks in part to this match. :)
    19
  2965. As far as I can tell, no - nobody else is bothered.
    19
  2966. slowpokebr549 I can answer that, since Karl hasn't yet. :) Total, the 1984/5 archaeological survey found bullets and cases from 371 total individual guns. Of those, 130 were Trapdoor Springfields (these would have been mostly Army guns). The next most common was the Henry, with 108 represented. The numbers drop greatly after that - 35 Shaprs in .50 cal, 13 Trapdoors in .50 cal, 8 Winchester 73s, 4 Sharps .45 cal, and one or two each of Evans, Ballard, Maynard, Spencer .56/56, Spencer .56/50, Enfield .577, and several unknown. This is based on cartridge cases collected, and then sorted using modern forensics (in more than a few cases, multiple cartridge cases were found across the battlefield that were fired by a single specific weapon).
    19
  2967. RBGJoe I transmitted it from the range via telegraph.
    19
  2968. I didn't see any problems with the labels - in fact, they tended to be a lot more informative and interesting than most museum labels.
    19
  2969. It's on the list...
    19
  2970. If a 10-second pitch at the end of a 10-20 minute video is unreasonable to you, then I would venture to say that you have an unrealistic view of how the world works. Fortunately, you do have the options of turning it off at the end, or simply not watching at all.
    19
  2971. It was not as bad as the 4-bore.
    19
  2972. Unfortunately, shipping is just really expensive. We can't just throw the books in a minimally-padded envelop, or they get destroyed in transit. So we use a larger box with good padding, and between that and the pure weight of the books, the price goes way up. I really wish we could find a good solution, but we have not yet - short of being able to send a bunch of books together for the same price as one.
    19
  2973. It will go live in about an hour, sorry. It’s pre scheduled and I’m in a deer blind now.
    19
  2974. Multiplayer is less like WWI, if that's even possible.
    19
  2975. If there is interest and we can find a distributor in France, we would like to look at translating it into French after this printing is done.
    19
  2976. I can't speak for Othais, but I would guess that he is far to busy right now to make a book, but that he is considering potential print use of his photography for some point in the future. My situation is pretty much the same. Books require a massive amount of work for a pretty minimal return, and while I would like to do one or several at some point, I don't know when that point might be.
    19
  2977. You forgot to send me the ammo!
    19
  2978. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrrUOUk4ZWo
    19
  2979. In both cases they are references to the Roman god of war.
    19
  2980. Charlton, Austen, F1, and a better video on the Owen. Probably more, but those are what occur to me offhand.
    19
  2981. It really comes in handy sometimes.
    19
  2982. +Michael King A Martini with exploding bullets of his own design.
    19
  2983. That was a CETME-C in 7.62 NATO, not a CETME-L.
    19
  2984. It really didn't look any different from a regular Type 99 sight picture. The bipod bits are far enough away from the front post that they don't make significant difference.
    19
  2985. +Zyme86 I do like it. :)
    19
  2986. Yes, this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C37OAHao9AA
    19
  2987. +James Fisher Well, if you only partially squeeze the fuel trigger, you will get a drizzling cloud of fire in your face instead of a focused stream going away from you.
    19
  2988. Becky Klietz Yes, Sam Colt himself tried it with the 1855 revolving rifle/shotgun. He found that it deflected sparks back towards the cylinder and increased the incidence of chainfire - and for that reason didn't use it.
    19
  2989. Not yet but I'm working on it.
    19
  2990. There was a problem in it; it's being fixed and re uploaded.
    19
  2991. Yup, I expect so.
    19
  2992. Yeah, MAT-49s are very rare in the US, and cost probably 4 times as much as the MAS-36 did.
    19
  2993. Nope. Looks like it would, but it doesn't.
    19
  2994. Nothing makes a gun go up in value like seeing it malfunction constantly on camera!
    19
  2995. Actually, the opposite is true. Because the slide moves forward, it creates an equal and opposite force pushing backwards, in addition to the recoil generated by the bullet. Blow-forward guns have stiffer recoil than other mechanisms, all else being equal.
    19
  2996. Wiirio Azrael The guns made specifically to kill people are the ones purchased by the police and army. The people you apparently want to have carrying guns, so they can use them to kill people.
    19
  2997. If they are interested in stocking it, we'd love to send them some!
    19
  2998. I haven't taken one apart, but I expect it is because the dual-spring system softens the initial force of extraction to the point that there isn't a danger of ripping the rim off the case. This is helped by the large (and thus strong) rim and significant taper of the .303 cartridge.
    19
  2999. If that comes to pass, I will happily accept it.
    19
  3000. I agree. It was probably a display item somewhere; such things are often repainted.
    19
  3001. Why?
    19
  3002. Just out of curiosity, how many rounds have you fired through one, or seen fired through one in person?
    19
  3003. Absolutely.
    19
  3004. I'm an American; my ancestors were Scots.
    19
  3005. Thanks! :)
    19
  3006. +A Jaded Lizard The benefit is that it's a simpler gun.
    19
  3007. The ignition method has nothing to do with recoil. A flintlock with a small powder charge will be soft-shooting; one with a heavy charge will kick. I've shot examples of both. Here's the hefty one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJvesjGissE
    19
  3008. Indeed!
    19
  3009. +Joric78 Actually, it kinda is. If you have a business and meet the requirements (secure storage, local zoning, etc) it's a pretty straightforward process.
    19
  3010. I would love to do some shooting with one, but I have to find an owner willing to let me.
    19
  3011. I don't feel bad, because even the Danes replying here can't agree on how it should be pronounced. :)
    19
  3012. A long series of different owners.
    19
  3013. This is better.
    19
  3014. There are registered transferable ones around, just not very many.
    19
  3015. Soldiers praised the BAR because it was reliable and it was what they had available. If they'd had the opportunity to use, say, Brens instead they would have dumped the BAR en masse.
    19
  3016. I've always pronounced if car-cah-no, but I make no claim to that being authoritative.
    19
  3017. What is now Maine; Portland specifically.
    19
  3018. CapnHolic Rock Island's policy it to not use gloves, so I don't either when I'm handling their guns. They feel the benefits of doing so are not worth the extra risk of slippery fingers dropping things.
    19
  3019. I asked them; they weren’t interested
    19
  3020. +tHaH4x0r Thanks!
    19
  3021. I don't actually limit the site and channel strictly to forgotten guns...
    19
  3022. m1994a3jagnew Probably the Sten MkII, or the Streetsweeper.
    19
  3023. I have no doubt that whoever bought it recognized what it was.
    19
  3024. I'm not an employee of either auction company, and the channel is completely independent. I go where the awesome guns are. :)
    19
  3025. Yes - it's already filmed, just not published yet.
    19
  3026. Ian Gratton He owns the pistol.
    19
  3027. Nope, there are none. Clips only with this guy.
    19
  3028. +Mockturtlesoup1 You are correct, but this particular gun has become known by that name because of how it looks externally. In order to show up in search results when people are trying to find it, I used that name for the video.
    19
  3029. That's what I am using in this video.
    18
  3030. No.
    18
  3031. +Ronald Colman http://www.1791apparel.com/collections/store/products/garand
    18
  3032. It's a Chinese QBZ95 model, given to me by a fan who got it at a museum in Beijing.
    18
  3033. It actually sold for $13,530; the video is a few months old.
    18
  3034. Two pairs of wool socks and vintage Finnish jackboots.
    18
  3035. Yes.
    18
  3036. It is a reproduction. To see a bunch more detail on it, check out my video "Last Ditch Innovation", where I compare it to a Gerat 06 and its eventual progeny, the HK91.
    18
  3037. Full30 is much better.
    18
  3038. Like Jrhoney said, Prvi still makes new 8mm Lebel. In this case, though, I was using surplus French ammo. A lot of it has bad primers, but I found a small batch that has worked without problems (I used the same ammo in my Berthier video).
    18
  3039. +Nick Smith Prvi did not have the ring for a long time, but current production does. Buy it and shoot to your heart's (or wallet's) content!
    18
  3040. Oops, fixed it. 312 is correct.
    18
  3041. It's named after its designer, Ferdinand von Mannlicher...I doubt he was particularly concerned if English speakers thought his name was funny.
    18
  3042. No, unfortunately.
    18
  3043. Nope, tried that.
    18
  3044. When I find a good example of one, definitely.
    18
  3045. No sights on the hammer.
    18
  3046. 40, actually.
    18
  3047. Sweet, I didn't realize I could contract eye cancer and epilepsy at the same time! ;)
    18
  3048. We didn't have an HD camera when we saw this one. We do now, though.
    18
  3049. Yes.
    18
  3050. +psychicdance That was #8, this is #1. I did a new video because I had much more of the history available.
    18
  3051. Yes.
    18
  3052. It is exempt from the NFA.
    18
  3053. Remove scope and use clip, open bolt and single load, or remove the floorplate and load from the bottom. It's a sporting gun; speed reloading is not important.
    18
  3054. Well, that's better. I have an RE and Ascaso, a 30M, A Star 1921, 1913 Campo-Giro, Bulgarian contract Star Model B, and Star Model B Super, though. So I'd still be out of luck.
    18
  3055. I've seen it - very cool! I also hiked up and around Dunadd Fort.
    18
  3056. Zero - it's just a spike and doesn't have sharp edges.
    18
  3057. Of course I have no shame in plugging my book. It's a good book, and without any doubt the best reference on the subject available. :)
    18
  3058. +Hauke Gering Verdun.
    18
  3059. If you really want to see something cool, open an M60 next to a Lewis and an FG-42. :)
    18
  3060. Mechanically, the Bergmann and C96 are pretty similar. Take a look at our video on Early Automatic Pistols - we compare them there, along with an Astra 900.
    18
  3061. Dark humor is like food under Stalin. Not everyone gets it.
    18
  3062. No, she's an Australian cattle dog.
    18
  3063. T is for telescopic.
    18
  3064. No, the civilian semiauto version does not have grenade launching capability.
    18
  3065. BurnThePope0514 When it comes to precision machining the difference is moot, because Imperial measurements are done in hundredths, thousandths, and ten-thousands of an inch - all base 10. That's the advantage of metric, easy conversions because of the universal base 10 system. When it comes to actual hands-on work, calculating tolerances and depths in thousandths of an inch is no different than hundredths of a millimeter.
    18
  3066. That is because you are sneaky and found it early.
    18
  3067. There are a few companies that make left-handed bolt action sporting rifles, but no military ones that I know of. The closest would be the Finnish 28/76 Olympic style Mosin conversion, which they did make in both left and right handed versions.
    18
  3068. What kind of question is that? Everyone knows you need to have at least one of each! :) If I could only have one I'd take the Tokarev. I like the handling better.
    18
  3069. Sign up at Practiscore: https://practiscore.com/moons-out-goons-out/register
    18
  3070. Yep, the chamber is slightly larger than the barrel, so the ball will roll smoothly into it, and then the soft lead forms a gas seal when you fire.
    18
  3071. +slippinggnome When Reid was born there, it was all just Ireland. Northern Ireland was partitioned in the 1920s.
    18
  3072. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/clair-automatic-pistol/
    18
  3073. Thanks! It's an exciting new home for us; welcome aboard!
    18
  3074. +Robert Thomas Not that I am aware of.
    18
  3075. Some are, some are not. Depends what the gun is, and some can only be owned by licensed dealers or manufacturers.
    18
  3076. Apparently you have not looked at the Julia catalog page to see their price estimate. Because $500k could buy you the gun and a fantastic new house to put it in.
    18
  3077. 5mm Pinfire.
    18
  3078. As someone who has done that before, it's not as simple as you think.
    18
  3079. +OneTallOrder No. The accuracy issues would totally preclude that.
    18
  3080. I played about 75% of the single-player campaign, as well as some multiplayer. While the settings may have been well-rounded, the gameplay was anything but representative of the war.
    18
  3081. I do have an HD camera that I'm using now, but this video was taken before I got it.
    18
  3082. Voevodin
    18
  3083. Yes - check my Instagram :)
    18
  3084. I had no active involvement, but they used my videos as references.
    18
  3085. No, nobody has.
    18
  3086. There was a fixed 20-round "trench mag" used on small number of Mausers, but it's not the same as this rifle's magazine.
    18
  3087. Taurevanime This was a life (reloaded) shell, firing a solid projectile - not a blank. I didn't get footage of it being loaded, but I did see it.
    18
  3088. Nope.
    18
  3089. No, I filmed this last month.
    18
  3090. Did that video already leak? ;)
    18
  3091. "AR" is just an abbreviation of Armalite; the AR-17 is a shotgun.
    18
  3092. The KP15 completely stripped is 1.024 pounds. Complete with carbine buffer and all other lower components it's 1.70 pounds (+/- about 1 ounce depending on which FCG parts).
    18
  3093. Next week. In the meantime, have a look at this other semiautomatics SMLE conversion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOgw59_lt7o
    18
  3094. No, I bought it from a private party already in tanker configuration.
    18
  3095. We often see these guns while traveling, and have limited time and facilities. Better to at least show how the guns work and look than nothing, when we don't have the opportunity to take something to a range. There are some live-fire videos coming up, though.
    18
  3096. That's a 36/51. I will address that one later.
    18
  3097. I have a video on a .50 Vickers coming...
    18
  3098. Not until we have done them all.
    18
  3099. Sure, if someone decided to make one...
    18
  3100. Weirdly, some of them don't like showing up with a timer. ;)
    18
  3101. This is entirely in addition to Forgotten Weapons, not a replacement of it. If you are not satisfied with the videos I have been doing with new gear (like the high speed, and the nearly 3 weeks of daily new material from RIA), I really can't offer anything more. Sorry.
    18
  3102. No, I think it would handle much worse. The paratrooper stock is a terrible piece of gear.
    18
  3103. Yep, I did. Sorry!
    18
  3104. Nobody makes them because there are plenty of originals still around.
    18
  3105. The trigger pull is pretty long, but not particularly heavy.
    18
  3106. Wiirio Azrael That is not true. Guns are made for recreation, sport (there are many Olympic shooting sports), and defending the weak from the strong.
    18
  3107. EarlyARs No, I didn't notice it myself - but I didn't shoot enough through it for that to have become evident. FWIW, I did get the explanation directly from Jim Sullivan and he ought to know as well as anyone why they would have made the change.
    18
  3108. The law applies to everyone.
    18
  3109. +DeadCamper No, the difference is too small to matter with a submachine gun.
    18
  3110. What steel were the originals made from?
    18
  3111. Nonsense. There is nothing ignorant, immature, or immoral about using profanity. Utilized properly, profanity is an expressive and valuable element in language.
    18
  3112. Nathan Kerns Actually, it is at the Rock Island Auction Company - same city, but not the Arsenal.
    18
  3113. We did go to Red Beach; there are no vehicles there today.
    18
  3114. Wide lens on my iPhone. Didn't have the full camera rig with me on this trip.
    18
  3115. The Nambu 96 and 99 were very good guns as well.
    18
  3116. They seems to be around $600 whenever I see them.
    18
  3117. A magazine feeds rounds into the chamber, and a clip feeds rounds to the magazine. With rifles like the Berthier or M1 Garand, the driving spring and follower are built into the rifle, making the magazine integral to the gun so you need only load a clip into it. Guns like the 98 Mauser also have integral magazines, but the clips use to load them don't stay in the magazine. When in doubt, the rule of thumb is that a magazine has moving parts and a spring while a clip doesn't.
    18
  3118. Merci!
    18
  3119. Balance. :) And it says something about the recoil of the FG42, doesn't it?
    18
  3120. +altamiradorable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_worker_deaths_in_United_States_labor_disputes
    18
  3121. Some I can do off the cuff; most require at least a bit of research.
    18
  3122. You have to pull the selector out before you can turn it; not something that is going to happen accidentally (fortunately).
    18
  3123. That's how the auction house makes money. They charge the buyers and sellers a fee.
    18
  3124. +CoffinMuffin I have a couple coming up on the Mondragons...
    18
  3125. My mother made it for me. :)
    17
  3126. +John McPherson No, but there is a step in the chamber to accomplish the same thing.
    17
  3127. BurnThePope0514 I will be doing videos on the Dreyse and Chassepot both, eventually.
    17
  3128. After some initial resale through Classic, InterOrd appears to have cut that off and gone to only retailing themselves.
    17
  3129. It’s a bit more gray when it’s the murder of someone who sympathizes but owns no slaves…or Heyward Shepherd, the free black man working at Harpers Ferry who was killed by Brown's men.
    17
  3130. Yes, that will be the final video in this series.
    17
  3131. Service history of my nearest relative who was in the Civil War.
    17
  3132. Yep, the Thompson Automatic Rifle was designed for .30-06 in the 1920s. The problem is that it was based on the Blish lock principle, which turns out to be a bogus effect. The gun functionally was a delayed blowback, and didn't work well in the large caliber. So they scaled it down to make a .45 SMG, which can work fine on plain blowback.
    17
  3133. Yes, you should see the follower when the mag tube is empty. Can you hear it sliding inside the magazine when you tip the rifle forward and back? It might be missing, or you might have a broken magazine spring. Unless you got a pretty good deal on the gun, I would return it and look for one that is fully functional.
    17
  3134. Well, tell them I sent you! :)
    17
  3135. +Nodwick123 The MkB-42 did not use a bayonet.
    17
  3136. No, this is a common system for submachine guns.
    17
  3137. Crime lab technicians specializing in firearms.
    17
  3138. I considered that, but decided it's actually worse. With blurring, you know something has been removed - an iron cross flag hides the fact that anything has been changed.
    17
  3139. I'm the one running the high speed camera.
    17
  3140. Ever tried taking a Gatling to the range?
    17
  3141. The cartridge was based on the .38 Special, and the .38-200 was deliberately less powerful than the .455 Webley.
    17
  3142. Safe recovery!
    17
  3143. +wowfreak195 Fixed it, thanks!
    17
  3144. The rifle, carbine, and Bren type barrels do not have adjustable gas regulators.
    17
  3145. In most businesses, that would lead to hiring of more people to accommodate the workload - but most gunsmiths I am aware of aren't interested in that.
    17
  3146. Yes, in a few weeks. I typically have videos scheduled 4-6 ahead of publication. The South Africa trip videos will begin in June, and will be spread out of 6 to 8 months.
    17
  3147. It would not fit on an FR-F1 scope mount, as those were made uniquely for the APX scope. An FR-F2 mount will fit on an FR-F1 rifle, but F1 rifles are far more scarce the F2 rifles in the US now.
    17
  3148. +Muhammad Najmi No, 9x19
    17
  3149. No way!
    17
  3150. +Matthew Caughey It's in a holster - really not an issue.
    17
  3151. Thanks!
    17
  3152. Nope, have not found a source yet.
    17
  3153. +Beowulf 95 9x19
    17
  3154. Yes, they are the same.
    17
  3155. Thanks!
    17
  3156. +Michael Ledford There is no "license fee". There is a $200 tax on the transfer of an NFA item (which is a one-time thing), and that's all. Because of the limited supply of registered NFA items, the market price is very high for most of them - but that's not the same as a licensing fee.
    17
  3157. Thanks!
    17
  3158. The German military simply doesn't appear to have been interested in it. They probably had enough other compact pistols already.
    17
  3159. +Blueswailer Scottish.
    17
  3160. When the bipod is folded the feet extend past the muzzle
    17
  3161. There were a couple, but we didn't do any shooting with them because we had limited time, and plenty of M39s back home.
    17
  3162. +James Basler There hasn't really been a new mechanical idea since the 1940s.
    17
  3163. The point is not who first designed it, but why Turner used it. And if you think I've only made 2 mistakes in the course of ~900 videos and many more blog posts, you are clearly not paying close attention. I do appreciate the implication that I'm that good, though.
    17
  3164. It's an StG45(M)
    17
  3165. No, because I'm American.
    17
  3166. Nope, I have no information on trial results.
    17
  3167. Has to wait until I have a production model. We did completely tear one down at Biofire, but I was not able to film it. Once they are available for sale, all NDA considerations are off the table and I can disassemble it and show the inner workings.
    17
  3168. Basically, because Germany was barred from arms development after WW2. Russia, and the eastern bloc with them, developed the 7.62x39 (which was created at the same time the Germans were developing the 8x33). The US and NATO stayed with a full size cartridge because of American military conservatism.
    17
  3169. toad wdg If I can ever get my hands on examples of them, you bet.
    17
  3170. They are in the description.
    17
  3171. You might consider the possibility that it is both German AND Hungarian for hummingbird...
    17
  3172. It's more like $50/round, if not more.
    17
  3173. +Mark Brewer You only saw the empty case. It was firing projectiles.
    17
  3174. +weeeds334 Yes, that is correct.
    17
  3175. +ArthurAlcantara I deliberately post videos on Full30 two days earlier than YouTube, because I would rather have people watch on Full30.
    17
  3176. Both terms are fine.
    17
  3177. You can also find that feature on the German Reichsrevolvers and the modern Mateba auto-revolvers, plus a few old French and Belgian pinfire revolvers.
    17
  3178. +simon Emmett Yes, you can get reproduction LeMats.
    17
  3179. Nope.
    17
  3180. +Treblaine The Type 94 is maligned much more than it deserves. The claim that it will fire from the slightest bump is not at all true, and the gun is entirely safe to carry loaded with the safety engaged. I really need to do a video on it to try to address some of these myths...
    17
  3181. They don't tell me that; I don't know.
    17
  3182. It was cold where I was filming.
    17
  3183. +antiseen Thanks!
    17
  3184. Mounted on top of the carry handle is a 1x optical sight, plus there are backup iron sights that fold down.
    17
  3185. Yes, eventually. The Rock Island Arsenal Museum (not the auction company) has a bunch of them, and eventually I will have the chance to do some filming there.
    17
  3186. Have you not seen my other 900 videos where I do just that?
    17
  3187. A clone of a Finnish Army RK 62 M3 - I have a full video on the rifle posting on Sunday.
    17
  3188. No, I didn't see it in the armory :(
    17
  3189. It was originally made in .303 - I replaced the barrel, feed block, and extractor with parts for 7.62x54R because that is a lot more affordable to shoot. It's a non-permanent change, and it can go back to .303 any time. The simplicity of changing calibers like that is one of the nice things about old belt fed designs like the Vickers.
    17
  3190. Wiirio Azrael Civilian gun ownership is almost completely illegal in France already - what more do you want?
    17
  3191. Hiram Maxim's son was named Hiram Percy Maxim. In addition to inventing the silencer he also founded the ARRL.
    17
  3192. I will be doing a review of it, once I have my new camera gear. This particular one was built by Century (eeew...) on a parts kit.
    17
  3193. I will claim to be an expert at that sort of thing as long as you don't ask me to do it again. :)
    17
  3194. Sure, the Mexican Obregon is a rotating-barrel .45, as are the recent Beretta PX-4 pistols in .45.
    17
  3195. Original Galils did not have bolt hold-open notches in the safeties.
    17
  3196. I think you are combining the .38 ACP and .380 ACP - they are different cartridges. The .38 ACP became the .38 Super, and it used in locked breech pistols. The .380ACP is what we today call the three-eighty, used in compact, often blowback, deigns. They are not interchangeable at all; they have substantially different case lengths.
    17
  3197. The replacement was the F1 - I haven't fired one but I do have a manual for it and will be doing a post on them at Forgotten Weapons sooner or later.
    17
  3198. You can order them right now.
    17
  3199. Yeah, I'll do a COP 357 at some point, but it'll probably be a little while.
    17
  3200. Danners.
    17
  3201. +Jacob Vestergaard That's a Czech ZB-37.
    17
  3202. +Clueless Nitwiticus Bullets tend to all come from the same direction though.
    17
  3203. noone There was some variation between different models, but they were between 19 and 24 pounds. The reproduction set I have is right at 20.
    17
  3204. Sam Haley Click the link to RIA's catalog page - those have the estimated values of each item.
    17
  3205. I will be doing an FR-F1 video when the book starts shipping. :)
    17
  3206. Also, because the extractor needs a very different set of hardness vs flexibility attributes than the slide itself.
    17
  3207. This particular scope is pretty cloudy, and I couldn't get a usable view with the camera. That said, it is just a thin crosshair.
    17
  3208. Yes.

  3209. I think it is mostly a combination of wishful thinking and deadlines (plus the occasional times when the testing ammo was substantially different from what the designer had expected). There was not an unlimited time to develop the guns, and you would be better off submitting a not-quite-finished design than submitting nothing.
    17
  3210. +John Alkeberg When it comes to identification, if you find a gun marked Remington and in 8mm, it will be a French contract rifle.
    17
  3211. prplflh71 On pistols with double-action or similar triggers, sure - carrying chambered is fine. Same for single-action guns with safeties that are both mechanically sound and easy to manipulate. On single-action guns with fiddly little safeties, carrying with an empty chamber is a better option, IMO, than depending on the safety. For example, when William Fairbairn equipped the Shanghai police with Colt 1908 hammerless pistols, he had the manual safeties disabled and the guns carrier with empty chambers. Much more reliable to rack the slide than manipulate that little tiny safety lever. As a left-hander, finding safeties that are not very effective actually use quickly is a common issue with older guns, and then Condition 3 carry starts making a lot of sense (well, that or buying a gun that was actually made this century, but that's an awfully boring solution).

  3214. Yes, along with a couple prototype carbines that proceeded it. Publishes on the 24th.
    17
  3215. Yes, I definitely will be.
    17
  3216. NormanMatchem Yep, I would absolutely take the Bren over the BAR. Neither one would be a cakewalk, but I believe the Bren is the significantly better firearm. It has better sights, a better bipod, better (and larger) magazines, and better handling characteristics (like the pistol grip).
    17
  3217. +oscar de la riva Sometimes shells are color coded by size, to help prevent people from using 16a in a 12a gun or similar, but in this case they just packaged red, white, and blue together to look patriotic.

  3221. Thank you!
    16
  3222. I have most of it uploaded already, I'm just breaking it into segments because most folks aren't going to sit through 45 minutes of talking. If you go to my "Interviews" playlist you'll find the other pieces. One on 37mm cannons, and one on NFA destructive devices.
    16
  3223. As an antique, it is perfectly legal to export to France. Antique gun auctions in the US have plenty of overseas participants.
    16
  3224. No, not really. Only a very small number of cases found on the field show evidence of being pried out of the chamber.

  3225. KainzMusic No living human actually understand's the S&W model numbering system, that's my excuse. :)
    16
  3226. +Jack Sparrow Blowback pistols will generally extract just from residual chamber pressure.
    16
  3227. We did some of both.
    16
  3228. Nope, that's how it was when I got it.
    16
  3229. Sorry, I must have said ejector when I meant extractor. Getting the wrong Daudetau cartridges would certainly explain the problems - thanks for that insight!
    16
  3230. Be aware that many of the new-production MP44 mags also have problems. My understanding is that the welds on the front often are too large, and rub on the followers, causing problems.
    16
  3231. Nelson, as someone without a specific knowledge of the Royal Armouries' system, I can say that most museums use a third-party vendor for gift shop services, and have no real say over what products are stocked and sold.

  3232. +Skyliner04s Seven, actually.
    16
  3233. They are pretty much all wildly different than reality.
    16
  3234. Being big and strong helps in a lot of places, but there are some stages where smaller people have an advantage. When you have to crawl through tight confines like tunnels and vehicle hatches, bulk is a real hindrance.

    16
  3239. Keep it clean, and the Ross is an excellent rifle.
    16
  3240. Australia used the same guns as the rest of the Commonwealth - SMLE rifles and Lewis and Vickers machine guns.

  3244. xXxBlackwaterXxX Then I'll retire. But I think I will die of old age before that happens...
    16
  3245. I am now! :) I believe it's a slight update of the last one I covered in this video.
    16
  3246. Yes, I expect so.
    16
  3247. Youtube channels have no control whatsoever over the ads being run. If you don't want to see anti-gun ads, I suggest you watch at Full30.com instead of here.
    16
  3248. Yes, there was also a Lewis variant adopted the same year that was also designated a Type 92.
    16
  3249. A FAL is to my right; a Gewehr 41(W) with ZF-41 scope is on the right side of the footage.
    16
  3250. If and when I buy things from Rock Island, I pretty much always pick shooters.
    16
  3251. Heat is an insignificant factor in this equation.
    16
  3252. I took no money for this.
    16
  3253. A couple hundred of them are specifically exempted by serial number.
    16
  3254. +Sweden Exempt for sporting purposes.
    16
  3255. Yes - as long as the hammer is down the action is locked shut.
    16
  3256. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=161JT0WRVf4
    16
  3257. Yeah, the previous video was filmed in Europe and I only had a few minutes with the gun. Now that we have them available in the US I can do a lot more with it.
    16
  3258. Nope.
    16
  3259. Yeah, it's fairly large.
    16
  3260. Unfortunately, I think the cost of a reproduction would be high enough to discourage most potential buyers. I'd certainly love to have one, though... :)
    16
  3261. No, there really aren't.
    16
  3262. Thanks!
    16
  3263. +Calibros1 There is an alignment pin that has to fit into a notch at the very front of the tube. When someone s twisting the warhead, they are most likely lining up that pin and notch. That ensures that the primer on the rocket is aligned under the hammer.
    16
  3264. :D
    16
  3265. Not a rule, but I tend to hold my own guns in reserve.
    16
  3266. That was the original plan, but the logistics and scheduling didn't work out.
    16
  3267. It's a round for the 37mm Pompom.
    16
  3268. Yes.
    16
  3269. +DarkestVampire92 I have no idea, and it was driving me nuts editing.
    16
  3270. That's like saying Texas isn't a country.
    16
  3271. +joe k Historically, the rationale for an armed civilian population is not protection against individual criminals, but protection against the government (more ideally, ensuring the government remains humble enough to not become tyrannical). To that end, military weapons are precisely the sort of thing the population ought to have. Obviously, political views differ on whether this is an appropriate goal. I am not looking to convince anyone of one point of view or the other, so I won't belabor the point.
    16
  3272. Yeah....I forgot to reschedule this one after I finished the Ross video.
    16
  3273. And the ones modified to use Chauchat magazines for balloon crews.
    16
  3274. And, of course, the ones adapted for use by other countries, like Poland, Thailand, Greece, and Turkey.
    16
  3275. Well, there might be some .22 conversions...
    16
  3276. Yes, absolutely. :)
    16
  3277. Yes, it fires from an open bolt.
    16
  3278. No, the two systems are mutually exclusive.
    16
  3279. perciusmandate The Tavor is in no way a clear improvement over the AR. In it's current military form, the AR is fully the equal of any other rifle for practical battlefield reliability. Anyone who claims otherwise is either an armchair commando or is selling an alternative (or has made a significant emotional investment in hating the AR in order to feel special).
    16
  3280. No, since there is no cartridge there, the magazine cycles right past it.
    16
  3281. The gun is lighter than it looks - most of the frame is just hollow. I would be really curious to feel what the recoil is like. I don't have any data on the original price, but they actually should have been fairly cheap. There is not nearly as much complex machining needed for a Hino-Komuro as for a Luger, Mauser, Bergmann, or other period autopistol.
    16
  3282. I think is wasn't so much about fear of an armed populace as a question of whether it would be productive and cost-effective to distribute zillions of crude pistols to a civilian population. Using the same resources to send much smaller numbers of much higher quality arms to specific guerrilla groups was probably a more practical solution.
    16
  3283. Not that I am aware of. South Africa was under international sanctions at the time.
    16
  3284. Older stuff is usually grandfathered.
    16
  3285. This, it's much more valuable as a collector's piece. :)
    16
  3286. The collections I based this book on were almost all semiauto pistols. I didn't have access to enough revolvers to do a meaningful analysis of them, but we did photograph enough to show some interesting examples.
    16
  3287. Not yet, no...
    16
  3288. For simple designs, yes - for more complex ones like the Bren, no.
    16
  3289. This thing's ammunition was comparable to .380 ACP - hardly a wrist-breaker.
    16
  3290. No, because it's a pre-1898 antique. And if it weren't, it's still the type of thing that get's "sporting purpose" (or in this case, "wealthy owners") exceptions from the ATF.
    16
  3291. Nope, I'm left-handed. I do often shoot right-handed in videos in order to get better camera angles on guns, though.
    16
  3292. +Blaine Bugaski The upcoming season of NRA Gun Gurus apparently will have some slow motion footage. There's a bit of it in their video trailer.
    16
  3293. On percussion guns like this one, you don't want to snap the hammers onto the nipples too much, as they can deform. When firing, the percussion cap acts as a bit of a cushion, but without that you can damage the gun.
    16
  3294. +Gosh Darnit It's smooth-bored rather than rifled.
    16
  3295. I think that type of charging handle looks cool, but was changed for good reason (mainly because it got hot really fast). And yes, the globe is full of whiskey.
    16
  3296. Unfortunately, no.
    16
  3297. Make sure not to sign up for a semester in October, the 10th month! :)
    16
  3298. Dude, they live next to Germany!
    16
  3299. I'm 31, and my last name is McCollum.
    16
  3300. Because after you pull the trigger, you have to continue to hold the gun on target while the mass of the bolt and carrier runs forwards and chambers and fires a cartridge. Much harder to do that than with a closed-bolt gun where all that has to happen is for the hammer or striker to drop.
    16
  3301. On the one hand, hey aren't "battle tested", although I'm sure the Swiss have some reasonably rigorous testing standards fro new weapons. On the other hand, having a military that looks impressive enough to deter anyone from attacking you in the first place is a better achievement than being attacked and winning.
    16
  3302. +TheBloke I thought about it, and concluded that the intro sequence is an unnecessary holdover from television, where you can turn on the set and not know what is playing. With online videos like these, you have to actively clock the play button to see something, and you already know what you will be watching. The extra 10 or 15 seconds of intro at the start of each video seemed like more of an annoyance more than anything else once I thought about it that way, so I stopped using it.
    16
  3303. So it can be viewed in the Julia catalog before the day I publish it.
    16
  3304. No deal. I will live with your hate. :)
    16
  3305. With the exception of an occasional person running a camera, yes - it's just me. I don't write scripts, but I do usually have some notes that I work from to minimize mistakes on dates, names, etc.
    16
  3306. Dealer sample.
    16
  3307. Hope you enjoy it!
    16
  3308. It uses the .323 cartridge.
    16
  3309. Heh - I had no idea "Odd" was used as a name in Norway. :)
    16
  3310. Yeah, that assumption is correct.
    16
  3311. I have one filmed, but it has not posted yet. :)
    16
  3312. +Dracomarine Yes, it would legal, and the patents are long, long expired. If you want to make one, go for it.
    16
  3313. Cavalry would have been an elite group, and also much smaller in number than the infantry. That sort of group in a military force will often get a better or more expensive type of weaponry than the typical recruit.
    16
  3314. Ha! No, that's the remains of Bannerman Castle.
    16
  3315. +K. CHAN It feels like how god must feel when he shoots a flamethrower!
    16
  3316. Their StG project certainly isn't doing well.
    16
  3317. It just does that - as do a bunch of the M1s I've handled. The bolt sticks slightly when loading a new clip, and needs to be tapped forward.
    16
  3318. Yes, the AN94 video is coming (disassembly only, no shooting).
    16
  3319. The gas systems are different.
    16
  3320. Rebuilt in semiauto, yes.
    16
  3321. I want to have a viable platform available when Youtube finally puts the last nail in gun content, and that requires building it now, not waiting. HOWW for the time being is paying more to our other 7 creators than YouTube, but it's in the red for me to support. So yeah, I want to build it up while balancing peoples' expectations of 4 free videos per week.
    16
  3322. Full30 is specifically family-friendly, so this one does not meet their standards.
    16
  3323. Yup: Schwarzlose 1908 Blow-Forward Pistol You can also see one done by LifeSizePotato: Review: the Schwarzlose 1908 blow-forward 32acp pistol
    16
  3324. I have Frommer Stop video ready to edit, how about that? :)
    16
  3325. All things are a balance.
    16
  3326. The KP15 uses AR15 magazines, and can work with any caliber using those mags (although they are not warrantied for the big cartridges like .50 Beowulf). The KP9 uses Glock 9/40 magazines, and can work with uppers in any caliber using those mags.
    16
  3327. Heh - no, I was just looking for a random map to use in the thumbnail image.
    16
  3328. Yes, my videos are linked in their catalog.
    16
  3329. +Rl Badger No, most of them were not destroyed.
    16
  3330. Jeffy2n A lot of patience and work.
    16
  3331. I have a piece on a Frommer 1901 coming in a couple weeks, FYI... :)
    16
  3332. The reason the mag shakes so much is that the ejector is built into the back of the magazine, so each fired case smacks against the back of the mag.
    16
  3333. +Tama Hawkins No, I have yet have a chance to shoot one of these. Even if I find an owner willing to shoot one, the ammunition is very difficult to get and not easily replicated..
    16
  3334. I haven't had an opportunity to do video on any Polish guns, but I do have articles about several on my main web site (ForgottenWeapons.com). The wz-38, the Mors and the Rak, to name a few.
    16
  3335. What was really the issue was that they wanted to get the full effect of the BAR, so they waited to fully equip a couple divisions with them rather than go into combat with just a few here and there. Every other time that a new weapon was introduced in the war, it was done timidly and in small numbers, and the enemy was able to adapt and develop countermeasures by the time they were used en mass. Poison gas, flamethrowers, tanks, etc. They didn't want the BAR to fall into that same trap.
    16
  3336. Yes, a couple more that will post over the next few months.
    16
  3337. Yes, undoubtedly.
    16
  3338. I have a video on the Liu rifle posting in a couple weeks, actually.
    16
  3339. Sabots make rifles substantially less accurate, so I doubt that.
    16
  3340. It's fairly well stripped already :(
    16
  3341. Wait, AR doesn't stand for America Rifle?
    16
  3342. I just record there; not an employee.

  3344. I convinced them to change their minds. :) The cutouts are to lighten the slide, I believe.
    16
  3345. Velo Venator How is the recoil on that FG-42?
    16
  3346. I am the publisher...so yes.
    16
  3347. +John Alkeberg Those were not made by Remington.
    16
  3348. Yeah, my mistake. I would unironically take a vz61 over an MP7.
    16
  3349. I have absolutely no connection to JDI, and I don't think he likes me much anyway. The connection here is that Henry mentioned that he did really well with the 550 on his course, so I pulled my 550 video from the waiting list to coordinate with his release.
    16
  3350. dustyak79 Yes, it would fire when the switch was moved to Rapid.
    16
  3351. No, they are very different.
    16
  3352. Good - there was a food truck up at the expo.
    16
  3353. I would love to, but I don't really know much about them (as a general rule).
    16
  3354. Actually, it's the 57th month of 1910.
    16
  3355. +sniperblast Grenades are not permitted by the range rules, alas.
    16
  3356. I take it you are actually Jeremy Clarkson?
    16
  3357. Possibly more.
    16
  3358. Yes, definitely
    15
  3359. A combination of cartridge pressure, bolt weight, and mainspring strength. The rate of fire is determined by how long it takes for the bolt to cycle back and forward, so anything that slows down the bolt's travel will reduce the rate of fire.
    15
  3360. jose jorge Gracias!
    15
  3361. I post all my videos in 4K on the History of Weapons & War app, which is linked in the description.
    15
  3362. Nice!
    15
  3363. Eventually, but not this time.
    15
  3364. It's a batch of French surplus that is still good.
    15
  3365. Probably something like that.
    15
  3366. Probably a Browning Auto-5.
    15
  3367. Upstairs, next to the gym.
    15
  3368. That video has been filmed; not sure yet when it will publish.
    15
  3369. +huong huong Yes
    15
  3370. It takes "heavy" to a whole new level. Never fired one.
    15
  3371. +MarbleDemo It allows the empty clip to fall out.
    15
  3372. It isn't really locked, just held in position by a fairly stiff spring-loaded detent. Since the barrel and chamber are a single unit, you don't have to worry about lockup or timing like an actual revolver.
    15
  3373. Thanks!
    15
  3374. If you want to see it without the censoring, watch on Full30.com instead of YouTube. https://www.full30.com/video/2080d38f2a8035b7b615698410801f73 Full30 doesn't impose the censorship that YouTube does, and it's a far more gun-firendly venue in many other ways as well.
    15

    15
  3376. +jon bush Yup, I'll be at SHOT. Karl and I are doing a meet-n-greet on Thursday morning at the Hill & Mac Gunworks booth...
    15
  3377. Pay to enter, shoot well to win.
    15
  3378. I was not trying to show all the exhibits, just provide a gross overview of what the museum has. Properly showing everything would make for an hours-long video.
    15
  3379. Correct.
    15
  3380. Yes, they did.
    15
  3381. Lage MAX-11/15
    15
  3382. None of the above.
    15
  3383. Not from me, because I stupidly didn't;t think to film anything on the subject a couple months ago and not I'm on an extended road trip. However, Bloke on the Range just posted a good piece on exactly this subject: https://youtu.be/zfaK4Hz0Na8
    15
  3384. No, they did not.
    15
  3385. Nicholas Shaver I was a kid when the show was on (and my father was actually in one of them). I would love to be involved in a new version of the show, as long as it stuck to the values of the original one. Unfortunately, I doubt any cable network would be interested in something like that these days.
    15
  3386. British patent numbers restarted as 1 each year back then (they may still today; I'm not sure) - so a two-digit patent number doesn't actually signify much of anything.
    15
  3387. Why would they only have rifles for regions 7 and 8?
    15
  3388. +Waffenschmiedin x The antlers are real.
    15
  3389. +lostinspace013 I have no idea - I just recognized the crest.
    15
  3390. +micky mcfarts Nope, they are just located in the same city.

  3392. +joe k >usually there is not such thing as a James Bond villain type, tyrranical goverment. We shall see, once Donald Trump gets elected, Putin makes a comment about his penis, and we find ourselves in WWIII. :)
    15
  3393. And one of the receiver dust covers.
    15
  3394. And experimental versions from when the design was being developed.
    15
  3395. +cosmichemistry Well, sorry guys. You will probably have these same complaints about a bunch of the videos in this series, because they were mostly done the same way. I added a reasonably heavy noise reduction filter to get rid of background hiss, and it sounds quite good on my editing desktop machine.
    15
  3396. Left.
    15
  3397. If I had a dedicated range/studio, yes. But it's not feasible for me to travel overseas with lighting equipment.
    15
  3398. We want to maintain a standard of quality that doesn't allow print-on-demand, unfortunately.
    15
  3399. +MCG55555 Basically, one was a military production gun and one was commercial. The grip panels are a different style, but that's pretty much it.

    15
  3402. +Tired Sloth Yes, I am.
    15
  3403. That's because I haven't published it yet.
    15

  3408. You will see it shooting tomorrow...
    15
  3409. +JohnLeePedimore Honestly, that's an area where I have no personal experience, so I don't really know. I would probably err on the side of not polishing, on the notion that you can always polish something later, but you can't un-polish it.
    15
  3410. Cg262 That's what I thought I was doing already - I need to do some experimenting, apparently, and see why it isn't working.
    15
  3411. Good luck!
    15
  3412. Bid increments are $250 at that range, and when you add a 15% buyer's premium a $2750 bid becomes $3163.
    15
  3413. The Bren was an LMG and the MG42 and 34 were GPMGs (general-purpose machine guns). As such, they were not used in strictly comparable roles. The Bren is more portable and can be run by one man without much difficulty. The 34 and 42 are more suited to sustained fire, and really need a team to operate because of the weight and ammo consumption. Overall both are excellent guns, among the best of their kind.
    15
  3414. In Hollywood?
    15
  3415. Yup, definitely.
    15
  3416. I'm sure he would sell you whatever number you wanted.
    15
  3417. I hope so.
    15
  3418. That's a muzzle cover.
    15
  3419. david Kealey UMC stands for Union Metallic Cartridge, an ammo company owned by Remington.
    15
  3420. Yes, it is a machine gun. One trigger press; multiple shots.
    15
  3421. Because they are fun, historic, and not subject to the legal and financial burdens of live machine guns.
    15
  3422. I have no military service. Same as John Browning and John Garand.
    15
  3423. He designed and built his own high speed camera, actually. It used a rotating set of mirrors, but beyond that I'm not sure exactly how it worked.
    15
  3424. If you hate history, it just means you're not looking at the history of something you find interesting. :)
    15
  3425. Keith Larsen Also, Karl had a pretty rough chest cold that day.
    15
  3426. +RebralHunter Because they are very slow to reload, and the extra weight is insignificant when they are being held on your horse's saddle.
    15
  3427. +Wes56561 The wedge locks the barrel and frame together. Tap the wedge out, and you can pull the barrel and cylinder off for cleaning.
    15
  3428. I would like to, but it's always a matter of finding examples.
    15
  3429. Mosin Nagant It is actually slower to load than an SAA, because the SAA has a spring loaded ejector rod and the Nagant doesn't. The SAA also has round-nose ammo going into .45 chambers, while the Nagant has cylindrical ammo going into .30 chambers - you have to be more precise loading the Nagant ammo. I like the Nagant for its mechanical features, but it would not be high on my list for fighting with. I think one would be better off with a French 1873 or 1892, an 1898 Rast-Gasser, a Swiss Nagant (with Abadie loading), Webley, or a Colt or Smith & Wesson from the era.
    15
  3430. German and Hungarian use the same word.
    15
  3431. Owen.
    15
  3432. Yes, they will be posted on YouTube at the very end.
    15
  3433. +Sedan57Chevy Many thanks!
    15
  3434. Saturday.
    15
  3435. I would like to do a new disassembly video on an FG42, since my last one was done with an SD camera (Fallschirmjager FG-42 Rifle). If I could find one to disassemble that I could also fire on video, so much the better! But it's all a question of finding access to one, given the very small number of them around.
    15
  3436. +GuyKappe Nope, not spring loaded. Push case out; pull rod forward. Repeat. :)
    15
  3437. That is a feature of an assault weapon, not an assault rifle.
    15
  3438. Yup, you're right - I fumbled it in the video.
    15
  3439. Ok, I'll post one tomorrow.
    15
  3440. Not a question I normally get, but okay...I'm 5'10".
    15
  3441. Actually, I'm a bit out of practice - I used to be able to do it quite a bit more smoothly. Loading with en-bloc or Mannlicher clips can be done a lot faster than many people realize...
    15
  3442. Not by 1943...
    15
  3443. That's a Madsen LMG.
    15
  3444. I explain this photo in the video…
    15
  3445. I have not yet gotten my hands on an example to video, but I do have a pretty good written article on them: http://www.forgottenweapons.com/light-machine-guns/charlton-automatic-rifle/
    15
  3446. Thanks!
    15
  3447. The majority of our issues with Warlords were from covid and supply chain issues, which are pretty much resolved now (for our purposes, anyway).
    15
  3448. +petpeeves117 Well, I have one on a Navy version... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H29_EKM9v9A
    15
  3449. S Purple I'm not looking to retire, I'm looking to make something approaching minimum wage. :) If you aren't satisfied with the increased quality and quantity of material available for free on Forgotten Weapons, I'm afraid there isn't much more I can offer you. The new series of slow motion videos, the Rock Island Auction series (which will be repeated again for their December auction, with all different guns), the HD quality on everything new I'm doing - I think that is exactly what was expected by the folks who contributed for the new camera gear (more than a few of them have told me so). InRange is an additional project that will bring you even more cool stuff, if you find it worthwhile, and will take nothing away from FW. Even if you don't watch it, InRange will give me the ability to travel more, and that will put me in positions to do more FW videos that I wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity to do (this has already happened, as I had the chance to do a piece on a .22 designed for John Wayne by an InRange guest  - that video will be coming up here in a few weeks). Lastly, I can promise that full episodes of InRange will never be published here for free, no matter what happens to the show. Doing so would be a breach of the trust of the folks who supported us by purchasing it, and I'm not going to do that.
    15
  3450. 9x19
    15
  3451. +LittleMikey Arabic numerals are much easier to use for large numbers, and the Japanese have used them for sights and serial numbers for a long time. Using Japanese characters for numbers would be similar to using Roman numerals.
    15
  3452. Yeah, it really does help. Those were significantly smoother to use than any other stripper clips I've used.
    15
  3453. As soon as I get your 500th payment of $29.99. :)
    15
  3454. +El Guapo About $150 per can.
    15
  3455. Thanks!
    15
  3456. No, it really isn't.
    15
  3457. +zendell37 You're thinking of Bannerman.
    15
  3458. Some Patrons have early access to videos.
    15
  3459. The patent was filed in 1965 and granted in 1966.
    15
  3460. I did do that, in case I didn't win the gun. But since I did win it, I can make a more complete video with shooting.
    15
  3461. NTG56 Yes, you could do that.
    15
  3462. +kirbysbestfan You have always been able to own one. It's only importation of them that was cut off.
    15
  3463. No, they used smokeless powder
    15
  3464. Yup!
    15
  3465. I placed 28th of 47. Not too bad, considering my equipment handicap (more recoil and 10-rund mags). If I'd gotten one more good shot in stage 3 and spun that rifle target, it would have bumped me up to 22nd. :) However, I shoot these matches for the challenge and experience, not to place well. It's a competition against myself, not anyone else.
    15
  3466. Wiirio Azrael All technology can be used for both good and evil.
    15
  3467. The bolt stops at the rear of its travel and the barrel returns forward. When the barrel clears to front of the empty car,e it is ejected - before the bolt is released to chamber a new round.
    15
  3468. Next week. The link is the first line in the description text.
    15
  3469. The intention was for a night vision optic, not a precision scope.
    15
  3470. From my perspective, Hickok45 is a recreational channel, not an educational one.
    15
  3471. Yes, YouTube no longer allows promotion of gun sales or gun sellers. Saying that a gun is for sale is not allowed.
    15
  3472. +Tomikos995 In English, it means "unfortunately".
    15
  3473. +Attila Rischt Yup, there are a couple I am bidding on myself.
    15
  3474. +elektro3000 Winchesters.
    15
  3475. GraphicTs. com They did; the Type 2 Paratrooper.
    15
  3476. EM2 - hit it on the scope base when operating the charging handle. It's not nearly as bad as it looks.
    15
  3477. As soon as I can find one to film...
    15
  3478. If I can find one, definitely.
    15
  3479. MCTales89 Yes, the US issued Lewis guns in .30-06.
    15
  3480. +Ralphgtx280 I would totally watch that!
    15
  3481. Feeding is pretty similar to the Hino in concept. The Hino uses a sliding piece to pull the round forward out of the mag, and the Schwarzlose has a lip on the rear of the slide that does the same thing - pulls the round forward out of the mag feed lips, and then the barrel slides over it and pushes it into place on the breechface.
    15
  3482. +d0j0w0 Offhand, I don't know. Google probably does. (seven words!)
    15
  3483. von HUEland Yes, they were used through the end of WWII in at least small numbers.
    15
  3484. Fixed.
    15
  3485. zlatko vujevic No, I have not dont the PPS-42 or PPS-43 yet...I plan to, though. Glad you enjoy the work!
    15
  3486. Do you think anyone would actually buy it? ;)
    15
  3487. I'm in a museum.
    15
  3488. Thanks!
    15
  3489. Which is why the Pedersen device, scheduled for issue in early 1919, was never actually used.
    15
  3490. +Necro DWM (the company that was manufacturing Lugers) didn't want to spend the money to make a semi-production run of 200 guns in .45 ACP for the US field trials. The .45 required completely new tooling compared to the 7.65mm and 9mm guns, and the Germany Army had just adopted the Luger in 1908. DWM deemed it not worthwhile to put in the expense for US guns. The US had a pretty small military, nothing like today, and a US military contract wasn't worth the risk and effort compared to contracts for European powers like Germany.
    15
  3491. The German army, for one...it's the MG3 in current configuration.
    15
  3492. The drum you see on the MG42 is actually just a hollow round box to hold a 50-round belt so it can be easily moved without being completely unloaded. The MG34 did have a 75-round double drum magazine and top cover, although these were phased out in favor of just the belts.
    15
  3493. It was in the poll, but people overwhelmingly wanted the Hotchkiss.
    15
  3494. They did for the FBI MP5/10...
    15
  3495. We had a special $5 shipping to Hungary if you pick our European pledge :)
    15
  3496. I would really like to have the manuscript done by the end of the year.
    15
  3497. Adrien Perié When these guns were introduced, the terminology was brand new and they were called "mitrailleuse" in all the official literature (I edited the video description to clarify that).
    15
  3498. The Elcan has the same pros and cons as a variable power scope, but with a worse mount.
    15
  3499. +michael johnson I suspect it does not.
    15
  3500. If a gun was made prior to 1968, it is not required to have a serial number (although if does have one, defacing that number is still illegal).
    15
  3501. To the best of my knowledge, this is the only recording that was made - sorry.
    15
  3502. Glad you enjoyed it - I know I did. Now to get an ultralight and a Lewis or a Vickers Gas Operated... :p
    15
  3503. +Random Gameplays Yes, most break-top revolvers eject that way.
    15
  3504. Yeah, the site appears to be down at the moment.
    15
  3505. +Rd Dn It doesn't reciprocate when fired, only when run manually.
    15
  3506. Yes.
    15
  3507. I didn't mention it because it was not relevant to the video subject. Both the 1900 and the 1906 types were made in both 7.65mm and 9mm.
    15
  3508. A war or something.
    15
  3509. These are pretty accessible, especially the Austrian ones. The Romanian and Chilean ones are not always recognized or valued higher by sellers, too.
    15
  3510. Thanks!
    15
  3511. +lptomtom The Rolling Block is faster to shoot and cheaper.
    14
  3512. You're correct; single feed, double stack.
    14
  3513. lcstown What makes Browning so impressive is that his guns worked so well despite the complexities. He invented whole categories of gun (like in this case, semiauto shotguns), and his first effort often as not became a wild success.
    14
  3514. +Deathwing2 I pick the guns that are most interesting, and do background research as necessary.
    14
  3515. https://youtu.be/8mJG-s9WRIU
    14
  3516. Enter to win this iconic SPAS-12! https://www.fanathem.com/forgottenweapons DEADLINE to ENTER is 11/22/2024 at 11:59 PM PST
    14
  3517. I'd love to have it...but I can't afford it and the current owner isn't interested in selling anyway.
    14
  3518. +SOCAL3800 Just think of it as a DA revolver trigger.
    14
  3519. The bullpup Galil was the Vektor CR21.
    14
  3520. Yes, many belt-fed machine guns pull rounds backwards as part of the feed process (Maxim, Browning, PK, etc). The only other notable pistol to do so was the Mars.
    14
  3521. Indeed!
    14
  3522. Yes, absolutely (in fact, it's the only version currently available for sale). Here is my review of the standard reproduction gun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jN4lvZbAe04
    14
  3523. Zero.
    14
  3524. +Owen Omen I would trust it to work most of the time.
    14
  3525. +EvilSSP Nope, I'm not an RIA employee. It's just a mutually beneficial arrangement we have.
    14
  3526. Thanks - I didn't know that!
    14
  3527. Marstar has a range on site. The prohibition on shooting is not written in law, it is the result of the RCMP not issuing transportation permits for prohibited guns.
    14
  3528. I have a video on those coming.
    14
  3529. A Civil Guard M91 Finn capture, a Finnish drill rifle (a 91/30 in an M91 stock), and what appears to be a Chinese M44 conversion of a 1922 Ishevsk.
    14
  3530. Actully, Bond's first pistol was a .25ACP Beretta.
    14
  3531. +dozer1642 Yes, 10 rounds would fit in the grip.
    14
  3532. No, it shouldn't be.
    14
  3533. Toni, the guy who runs the photography - he also did most of the Finnish Brutality filming.
    14
  3534. Naturally...doesn't everyone have one?
    14
  3535. I can certainly understand the frustration; the US has been an unjustified aggressor more than once and it's frustrating to feel personally blamed for a national policy one doesn't personally agree with. In this case, you are technically correct - Serbia did not exist as an independent nation at the time and the aggressor force was the JNA. However, the JNA was under the clear control of a political entity at the time essentially indistinguishable from "Serbia", and I think it is accurate to describe the fighting as a Serbian invasion of Croatia in an attempt to prevent Croatian independence.
    14
  3536. Thanks!
    14
  3537. The substantial majority would be thrilled.
    14
  3538. This pistol was in a different 9mm, not the 9x25 Export. Unusual, yes, but remember that they were basically all prototypes.
    14
  3539. The gas delay allows you to make the moving parts lighter, because you aren't relying on just mass to hold the breech closed.
    14
  3540. Didn't want to abuse my shoulder.
    14
  3541. @3s10 If you want to get into shooting, you can. We had lots of Slovenian competitors with their own privately-owned guns.
    14
  3542. Sure, the P90 is legal. At least one shooter in PCC division did use one at the match. Same goes for home built stuff.
    14
  3543. Friday. :)
    14
  3544. +ironDsteele You wouldn't; you would make them yourself.
    14
  3545. There are a lot of variations of Webleys.
    14
  3546. Here in the US, anything over .50 requires special registration, so it's been fairly common for people to rebarrel Boys rifle to .50 BMG for ease of ownership (and ease of shooting, considering how little .55 Boys ammo is around).
    14
  3547. It's on the C&Rsenal channel: https://youtu.be/-hSZbo8Hvn4 Episode 4 is over there as well.
    14
  3548. Sorry - I don't like them either, but I don't have any control over them.
    14
  3549. +Marek Dohojda Thanks!
    14
  3550. Like I said, best saved for special occasions. :)
    14
  3551. The cases are different in shape, but the important difference is that the .30-30 was a .30 caliber bullet over a 30 grain charge of black powder, while .30-40 was a .30 caliber bullet over a 40 grain charge of black powder.
    14
  3552. I didn't include it because the RIA catalog has not been posted yet.
    14
  3553. They seem to go for $1200 to 2500, depending on variant and condition.
    14
  3554. I would happily do so, but I would need to find a good set all in one place.
    14
  3555. Davidautofull Yes, I would.
    14
  3556. @Nankech F Regardez lá-bas! Allemands avec des bières!
    14
  3557. Your sling is on wrong.
    14
  3558. These are part of a private collection whose owner allowed me to video them on condition of remaining anonymous.
    14
  3559. No, but you appear to have the internet, so you can go the them. :)
    14
  3560. I do not have a store.
    14
  3561. I have no idea.
    14
  3562. +Alex de Moya No, it's too heavy.
    14
  3563. +marshaul Oh, I was pulling it in tight both times. Holding that gun off your shoulder would be crazy.
    14
  3564. The second round hit it, but I didn't have a chance to look at the result (busy doing other video when the line was cold).
    14
  3565. The Tavor is selling pretty widely, and Ukraine is not one of the biggest buyers.
    14
  3566. And the other half draws in the Putin trolls!
    14
  3567. +Primarch359 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEPwmYcCPFs
    14
  3568. Yeah.
    14
  3569. +Heather Spoonheim Interestingly, I have never gotten M1 thumb. What you see is always from something else. :)
    14
  3570. I can't shoot this particular one, because its boltface has been sliced off. The reaosn you don't see videos of many original firing is because the price tag makes their owners rather reluctant to risk damaging them.
    14
  3571. I was concerned about it at first, but it turns out to be far enough forward to not cause any problems when shooting left handed. Interestingly, it appears that the ejection pattern on the SMG repro is a bit different from the original guns, because as far as I could tell brass wasn't actually hitting the deflector.
    14
  3572. Yep.
    14
  3573. +tisFrancesfault Yeah, me too.
    14
  3574. +Brass 'n Barrels Firearms Channel The most common cause of problems in automatic weapons is defective or damaged magazines.

    14
  3578. Yes.
    14
  3579. Correct.
    14
  3580. Tobias Weiß I'll see what I can do to fix that in the future...
    14
  3581. +Rusty lungzs I did talk to the History Channel a few months ago, and the project had promise, but it fell through.
    14
  3582. https://www.meanarms.com/products
    14
  3583. Well, the .50 BMG was introduced in the early 1920s...
    14
  3584. Yup!
    14
  3585. +PortHolio408 A Finn property mark, yes. Finland bought a handful of these from the UK.
    14
  3586. Yes, they are from an Allied manual on how to operate captured German guns.
    14
  3587. The first pattern original guns had the bipod mounted on the gas block, and the original second pattern guns moved it to the muzzle. This is a reproduction of the second pattern, and that configuration is correct.
    14
  3588. I played the Highland pipes for about 10 years; I've spent lots of time in kilts. :)
    14
  3589. Yes, there were Karabiner 98s. They were issued primarily to cavalry and artillery troops.
    14
  3590. It was the term for the basket in which one rode on an elephant in India.
    14
  3591. Yes, it would be cheaper than an AKM to make in quantity.
    14
  3592. Yes. Video coming. ;)
    14
  3593. I have a playlist of 50+ videos about the real guns portrayed in this game.
    14
  3594. Yes.
    14
  3595. It doesn't spark and it's softer to machine.
    14
  3596. +Jeff Bankston No, it wasn't...unless you use the most crazy high numbers for the Walker and really light loads for the .44 Mag.
    14
  3597. Jeffery Liggett My counterargument would be, if you don't like them don't watch. Every InRange video title begins with "InRange" so you can easily ignore them. Alternatively, you could watch my web site instead (forgottenweapons.com). Or, I suppose, you could unsubscribe if it's that big of a deal.
    14
  3598. +May “A-T” Sparkle The technical term there would be an accelerator.
    14
  3599. Garand was French Canadian.
    14
  3600. It was considered, but rejected. Probably because there was no standard bent bolt at that point and they didn't want to take the time needed to develop one with its tooling.
    14
  3601. Gracias!
    14
  3602. I have not handled an ZB47, but it's on my list to find. The 1918 Chauchat video will come when the gun clears NFA transfer.
    14
  3603. I would love to, but I'd have to find one somewhere outside of Oberndorf, as they don't want to share the one(s) they have.
    14
  3604. I have a separate video on that model coming later.
    14
  3605. I accidentally published the one without the shooting footage and didn't realize it until just now. Oops!
    14
  3606. Thanks - I placed 17th of 44 competitors on that stage. When I got to the final Texas Star I realized I had exactly 5 rounds left in the gun, and was especially careful to make clean shots so I could avoid needing another reload.

  3609. That video is coming...
    14
  3610. That special thumb-rest clip was actually for the 1907 Roth-Steyr, which was descended from this design. We probably won't see any new clip-loaded pistol designs, simply because selling the spare magazines is a nice extra income stream for both manufacturers and retailers... :)
    14
  3611. Yes.
    14
  3612. Not really, beyond that they are both falling block actions.
    14
  3613. I would love to - just have to fine one.
    14
  3614. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wdhN5_RpX4
    14
  3615. A couple reasons. First, finding an advertising sponsor for a brand new program is extremely difficult. Without anything to show in terms of audience, how does one convince an advertiser to invest a non-trivial amount of money? I have a fair bit of experience working with advertisers for my main web site, and in my experience and opinion, it was not an effective way to do this show. Second, having corporate sponsorship puts us forever at the whim of that sponsor. If they are paying the bills, they ultimately have veto power over whatever we want to show. That can be an ethical problem when it comes to product reviewing, and it can also be a quasi-censorship issue, if they don't want to be associated with a topic we want to cover (like gun-toting hackers). Lastly, corporate sponsorship, like corporate employment, is always potentially in danger of being cut off unexpectedly. If we can make the program good enough to be viewer-supported, we will always have funding as long as we maintain the quality.
    14
  3616. Yup, it's from the subsonic velocity.
    14
  3617. Yes, it's been a very long time since there was a truly new idea in firearms design.
    14
  3618. Nope.
    14
  3619. It did, but only because the M14E2 was a failure. In theory, the M14E2 was supposed to replace the BAR and the M60 would replace the M1919.
    14
  3620. A retired British officer gave it to me.
    14
  3621. +Hellerzauberer Deal. I do shoot it in this video.
    14
  3622. How appropriate! :)
    14
  3623. Basic surplus GI desert boots. I love them. Cool, durable, and comfortable (for me, anyway). I wear 'em everywhere.
    14
  3624. That was just me being goofy (pretenting to be cleaning my fingernails when the buzzer sounds).
    14
  3625. +skintrade It's a cloth heat guard, put on there because that M1 has a Camp Perry commemorative hand guard that we didn't want to damage.
    14
  3626. HaakonTheViking Neat!
    14
  3627. That's a grip safety.
    14
  3628. The M14 uses a different gas system.
    14
  3629. It makes sense economically, if you have a bunch of extra rifles and need some generic shotguns.
    14
  3630. No, they are not. I totally understand if you don't want to participate, but I send the guns to the winners directly (well, to their FFLs) myself each month.
    14
  3631. I’m in this for the long game.
    14
  3632. Some people probably could - I tried it a couple times afterwards; the problem for me wasn't the distance but having the kettlebell 9" up in the air at the end to clear the top of the tire.
    14
  3633. Yes - the French ended up adopting the MAT-49 for military service. It had a folding magazine well and a collapsing wire stock, but not the collapsing barrel or folding pistol grip of the Hotchkiss design.
    14
  3634. If I had to guess, I would say 1900s, maybe as late as the 1940s or 1950s. I suspect it was an amateur gunsmith's "for fun" project, not something made in an effort to be practical.
    14
  3635. Edit: Norinco made (makes?) a clone of the M14 in 7.62x39mm. Other than that, no (the .243 Win isn't an intermediate cartridge).
    14
  3636. The Monitor was a quite different model, with a lighter and shorter barrel, and pistol grip. I have a full video on it here: https://youtu.be/Jb6C9ASylmQ
    14
  3637. +Puse Let's you push the bolt forward if it gets stuck for any reason. Generally it only serves as a jam enhancer.
    14
  3638. +Alex Barlow Several. They aren't very durable. :)
    14
  3639. These were barely reliable enough for the sporting market; they were definitely not up to the strain of constant combat use, especially in some of the environments WWI saw.
    14
  3640. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW-IjtiVthc
    14
  3641. Yeah, but it's a plastic table and sounds was worse on camera than it really is.
    14
  3642. Yes, absolutely. Sooner of later I'll get one out at a range, and we will do a more comprehensive video on how they operate.
    14
  3643. Pretty similar.
    14
  3644. If you need to hold above your target because of range, the post doesn't cover the target.
    14
  3645. I've only had one malfunction (which you will see in tomorrow's video) over the course of more than 500 rounds. I am taking it to a match tomorrow a well (that will post in a few weeks), so we will see what happens there.
    14
  3646. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRQITDI1GRM
    14
  3647. First one goes up next week.
    14
  3648. I wouldn't say the designers were dumb, they just didn't have the examples of many previous designs to learn from.
    14
  3649. +Girls Like Guns, Too (Jennifer Young) Congrats!
    14
  3650. +PKx ANC1ENT Awesome! You will enjoy it. :)
    14
  3651. Yes.
    14
  3652. Only if you can come up with something that offers a real improvement over what is already available. I think that would be a very difficult proposition.
    14
  3653. Nope.
    14
  3654. We will find out tomorrow. :)
    14
  3655. If you want to send me your original for a couple weeks, I would be happy to use it in one of these matches. Frankly, the SMG ones are more durable and more reliable than the originals.
    14
  3656. Yup.
    14
  3657. It is possible that some of the very first test batch of MKb-42(H) rifles were air-dropped into Cholm, but there is no hard evidence proving it. The Soviets claimed to have captured one there (s/n 505), but they say it was taken a few months before it could have been there.
    14
  3658. The sights on everything in BF1 have been opened way up, presumably because otherwise players would complain that they obstruct your view (like in, you know, reality).
    14
  3659. I have an A1/A2 comparison video coming on Saturday.
    14
  3660. That is an Inglis-made Browning Hi-Power.
    14
  3661. The lack of changeable barrels was a major hindrance to the BAR, since it prevented the gun from being effectively used for sustained fire. Any air-cooled gun will eventually overheat, and swapping barrels allows you to keep shooting. As for AA fire, everything was used in this role at one point or another - I have more than a few photos of men using bolt action rifles to shoot at aircraft.
    14
  3662. I'm not in this video. The fellow you see is the rifle's owner.
    14
  3663. +Ari Kaur They are not similar at all.
    14
  3664. An M18 Hellcat tank destroyer.
    14
  3665. There were some various batches with the safety reversed, but that is beyond the scope of this video.
    14
  3666. It doesn't publish until tomorrow.
    13
  3667. It is. Might be better for someone with really small hands, though.
    13
  3668. If I ever find one, I definitely will - but I think it's a long shot that I'll find one.
    13
  3669. As I say in the video, the defining characteristic of direct impingement is that the gas is not directed into a sealed piston. If you look at the head of an AK gas piston, you will see several rings around the circumference, which are there to seal the system for the first cm or so of travel. The Ar similarly has gas rings. The MAS and Ljungman systems do not.
    13
  3670. I do have a pretty decent article on the Mars, which I linked to in my TFB review of the Boberg.
    13
  3671. Michael King The Pedersen GY bit me.
    13
  3672. I sometimes shoot right handed to get better lighting and camera angles.
    13
  3673. The bolt has a lot more mass than the barrel, and is not exposed to nearly as much heat when firing, so it doesn't really get hot. But the time it was difficult the handle, the rest of the gun would be massively overheated.
    13
  3674. I do a book review once per week, except during a series of auction videos. That hasn't changed in a couple years;.
    13
  3675. The meanings have changed over time, and while "pistol" is sometimes used to mean exclusively non-revolving handguns this is not universal. For example, British military manuals describe various types of Webley revolver as "Pistol". I tend to consider "pistol" to be a synonym for "handgun".
    13
  3676. Teri.
    13
  3677. +dArtagnan Zax How about the wz.28? I filmed that video yesterday... :)
    13
  3678. Maybe they will now that they know about it... :)
    13
  3679. +ilzen ver'khaan Not specifically dedicated to SIG, but he had the opportunity to buy a bunch of guns when they auctioned off their museum duplicates, and he took advantage of it.
    13
  3680. I'm having a great time! You should definitely keep getting your news from the basement internet rather than actually experiencing anything for yourself.
    13
  3681. Close enough that it's on my list for a video...
    13
  3682. Unfortunately, there is very little chance. There are very few of them in the US, and they are all dealer sample guns. So the only way to shoot one is to know a dealer who happens to have one and will let you try it out. We found this one by sheer luck.
    13
  3683. I haven't handled a Tavor yet, but my understanding is that there are a lot of similarities, although they are not identical designs.
    13
  3684. Short notice and there wasn't a table handy.
    13
  3685. Because the maximum range of the best conceivable airlift gun is still far shorter than the shortest range at which is would make sense to lug out something like this.
    13
  3686. LOUDcarBOMB And it's 3 syllables shorter.
    13
  3687. Bo Huggabee Because it's a registered machine gun, and a rare and historically significant one to boot.
    13
  3688. Because "panzer" didn't enter the German lexicon until the 1930s. In WW1, "tank" was the word used in both English and German. In fact, the early German antitank cannons were called "Tak" - Tank Abwehr Kanone.
    13
  3689. Spanish JoLoAr pistol in .380 caliber
    13
  3690. Lol...to be honest, I have never actually driven a Ferrari.
    13
  3691. My mother made it for me.
    13
  3692. Actually, the Lewis pan is pretty easy to load just a bit slow. Loading the Maxim belts requires a loading tool to ensure you get the cartridges in the right distance. Just a little to far or not far enough and it will jam in the feedblock.
    13
  3693. adam foye Yes, in theory you could.
    13
  3694. We recommend night older than Gen2+...
    13
  3695. Stig, the armed populace of the US is a deterrent to government tyranny. How many of our presidents would have tried to hold on to power if they thought it might be possible? Do you get rid of a burglar alarm on your home because you have not been burgled? Should the Swiss disband their Army because they have not been invaded in so many centuries? Now, that said, owning a machine gun in the US is pretty similar to owning one in most of Europe. While we don't have a license per se, you must register the gun with the government, undergo a serious background check (including fingerprinting), and wait 6-9 months.  I would also point out that machine guns have been around for about 130 years now. No armed conflict since about 1890 has been without the influence of machine guns. As Mr. Petroni points out in this video, it is private collectors who are responsible for more of the conservation and scholarship about these arms. Remove them from civilian ownership, and a great deal of history will be lost. Lastly, I would ask why you see private collectors as different from soldiers, policemen, or museum employees. I, for example, chose to pursue a private study of small arms. I could just as easily have enlisted in the military. Why would the one path make me acceptable to have machine guns (or much larger weapons) and actually train to kill people with them, while choosing the path of history and study is considered dangerous? We arms collectors are the same people as everyone else, and not a threat to society or anyone else.
    13
  3696. They experimented with 7.62 NATO, but never adopted it for a primary infantry rifle. I'll cover some of this next week...
    13
  3697. They are substantially distinctive from most other countries, under appreciated, and poorly documented in the US.
    13
  3698. +rmtheg234 Sort of...the Danes used an 1896 pattern selfloader, but only is pretty small numbers.
    13
  3699. My pleasure, Zack - glad you enjoy the videos! :)
    13
  3700. +Brainmalfuction That's the going rate. They can't be imported here like they can in Canada.
    13
  3701. +Brian Taylor Pretty much all rifles do...
    13
  3702. +Frank Dantuono Hadn't thought about it...maybe I should though.
    13
  3703. Yow, that's a tough one. Finding the right cartridge for a .32/8mm Flobert will be pretty tough. Honestly, my suggestion would be to just not shoot it.
    13
  3704. Nope, they all work the same way in my experience.
    13
  3705. Could be.
    13
  3706. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gbt1_gyAPYY
    13
  3707. Top of the post, typically, but you could set the zero however you like.
    13
  3708. A blowback PCC? How innovative and daring! 😆
    13
  3709. Specialist units use other guns (including the MP5) but as far as a standard issue SMG, the Sterling was the last (unless you count the L22A1 short version of the L85).
    13
  3710. The Mondragon was the first semiauto rifle adopted as a military standard by a national government.
    13
  3711. My favorite metal is 8620.
    13
  3712. My correspondent told me that the foreign volunteer forces do that, and try to get the Kurds to do it too.
    13
  3713. I am planning to do a series of videos covering this sort of fundamental material i the next several weeks.
    13
  3714. Tienes una problema con mi espanol? Creo que no esta malo por un gringo.
    13
  3715. +carn109 Auction is in October; I filmed this in August.
    13
  3716.  @GigAnonymous  That is a complaint for your government...I would much rather have them here than see them destroyed.
    13
  3717. No, never heard a peep. :(
    13
  3718. No.
    13
  3719. +1fanger Horn, I believe.
    13
  3720. Well, they did that too.
    13
  3721. It's a total parts salad - a 46 2A frame with a 3A/CJ-V35U body and a flathead 6 cylinder engine from a '54 Studebaker. Stockwheels, axles, tranny and tcase, but all rebuilt. And, of course, a mount on the rollbar for a 30/50 pintle for a Browning or Vickers. :) Eventually I'll get it painted!
    13
  3722. It had failed to feed correctly, and I was looking to see exactly where the problem was (jammed a round against the feed ramp).
    13
  3723. At auction houses, the consignors aren't around and the staff all have jobs to do that keep them busy. When I film in private collections, though, the owners are usually sitting right off camera spectating. :)
    13
  3724. Yes, it uses a standard ZF-4 scope (4x magnification). All FG42 rifles were made with dovetail mounts for scopes, although very few were actually issued with optics.
    13
  3725. Amen. Where this gun is owned (it's not mine), the choice was to do that to it or destroy it completely. At least it's in much better shape than a US demil (which would have required torch-cutting the receiver into little pieces).
    13
  3726. IMO, top feed is more reliable - but that creates different issues with sights.
    13
  3727. Actually, I just noticed that rifle this afternoon. I can't say 100%, but it certainly looks like a Bannerman gun to me. They converted some guns in military config (like that one), and others in sporter style. I haven't seen enough conversions to know how many of each they did.
    13
  3728. As long as you carry both/all barrels with you the whole time, sure. But it's not worthwhile.
    13
  3729. Unfortunately, I doubt that any of the repro companies will pick up this design. While the design is good, there is always a small chance of a hot ember igniting the powder in the magazine, and that liability is going to scare off any modern manufacturers.
    13
  3730. Fixed an audio problem.
    13
  3731. SaltyWaffles Why would you assume that military procurement decisions are always made in favor of the best product? Maybe Israel is more interested in domestic production to avoid reliance on the US? Maybe the right guy got the right kickback to push it through the system? Maybe it's any of a thousand other possible motives. What it is definitely NOT is irrefutable proof that the M16/M4 is inferior in a significant way.
    13
  3732. +dandel351 Yes, this is definitely in shootable condition.
    13
  3733. We will!
    13
  3734. It's to help me forget about other people voting.
    13
  3735. No, it does not.
    13
  3736. They are not mine.
    13
  3737. I worked in the solar power industry.
    13
  3738. +BushmasterXM15E2S Well, that harmonica rifle was hand made by John Moses Browning's father...
    13
  3739. +NEXXUS NEXXUS Definitely by mid October, possibly sooner. I filmed it today, so now it's a matter of editing and scheduling.
    13
  3740. Parrot Raiser Every auction video has a link to the auction catalog in the description, which includes the company's estimated price.
    13
  3741. It has - I filmed this a while back.
    13
  3742. If we clear the 400k stretch goal, every book will include an ex libris label. The patches are extra.
    13
  3743. I am a model of efficiency. :) Actually, I had not originally planned on splitting this into two videos, until I reviewed the footage and saw how much was really going on in the slow motion.
    13
  3744. Not watching the video does mean missing Karl's hilarious exasperation with the M1A, though. :)
    13
  3745. Understanding and appreciation of art are important elements in a well-rounded person.
    13
  3746. Pretty well - he placed 82nd of 134; not bad at all for his first Brutality match!
    13
  3747. Semiauto open bolt guns are restricted, but not single-shot things like this.
    13
  3748. MrNewVegas - We took this zone because we couldn't get tags in a regular rifle zone :)
    13
  3749. Clearly you should have stopped listening!
    13
  3750. I handed over my 50% share of the channel to Karl in late 2019 to focus on Forgotten Weapons. Unfortunately, InRange has since become much less about firearms history and much more about politics since then. It really isn't a fit for this project today.
    13
  3751. Not much; they were originally sold at the same price as new guns. A distributor friend told me a story about one dealer angrily returning a couple because they didn't want "used" guns...
    13
  3752. In terms of muzzle energy, it was similar to the .25ACP (but with a slower and heavier bullet).
    13
  3753. The first line of the description text is an affiliate link.
    13
  3754. Jonathan Hughes That cylinder is the empty case after firing. Really.
    13
  3755. Yes, it was quite heavy. Presumably if had gotten farther along, a cover would have been developed (and the whole receiver lightened).
    13
  3756. V-20 was assembled by Henk Visser well after the war. None were actually completed by Mauser before the war ended, so I think there's a bit of room for interpretation.
    13
  3757. Just 98% :)
    13
  3758. Dirty Harry couldn't keep track of a 6-shot gun.
    13
  3759. Oops!
    13
  3760. I'm not a fan of polymer uppers myself.
    13
  3761. +gambitraven There are no replicas.
    13
  3762. They will start posting this month, and run for 6-8 months.
    13
  3763. The POEC ones were converted from commercially purchased rifles and the Remington Special Police ones were built on the production line.
    13
  3764. Sorry, I didn't have the time to get to the tankgewehr. I think I have access to another one, so it'll come sooner or later - hopefully including shooting! :)
    13
  3765. ***** What makes this particular case more interesting is that the actual gun design that Rollin White came up with was terrible. It was still a muzzle-loader, but with a capability to access the chambers from the rear in case of misfire. It was never produced, and it had no advantage over the mainstream guns being made at the time. However, it happened to use drilled-through chambers, and he happened to include that feature in the list of patent claims. Colt turned down the  opportunity to use the patent because the gun was so bad; but Wesson happened to notice the detail of the bored-through cylinder when he was starting to work with the brand new rimfire cartridges.
    13
  3766. In general, the 9mm carbines were marketed to women, as they were easier to shoot than 7.62mm rifles.
    13
  3767. To have the same length as the Type 38 they were replacing. But that production quickly ended in favor of the short rifle size.
    13
  3768. Because video games have no necessary relation to reality?
    13
  3769. "Repetition"
    13
  3770. Andrew Leatham I read a lot and try to hang out with people who know more than I do.
    13
  3771. Actually, the stock marking is the name of the school where it was used (I had someone translate it after I made the video).
    13
  3772. I would love it if one of the Italian companies would make reproductions of them...
    13
  3773. Thanks!
    13
  3774. The L85 was much worse in its initial form than either the AK or AR, and even after all its redevelopment, it's just decent at best.
    13
  3775. +Kostas .Kowalski I already have it :)
    13
  3776. A mechanical creature whose gaze brings death. In other words, a revolver.
    13
  3777. No, I have no input or control over them.
    13
  3778. Good, because there are a bunch more coming :)
    13
  3779. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCwP3Dm52Ls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WwYl6ANNlw
    13
  3780. Yes, but it looks like my source for the test rifle has fallen through. :(
    13
  3781. If one believes that arms ownership is a fundamental human right, then immigration papers have no bearing on it.
    13
  3782. Dell Conagher The general concept of time passing by.
    13
  3783. I wouldn't say easily - it can certainly be done, but it is awkward. The Johnson allows this to be done much more easily.
    13
  3784. Nope, they were out of business before introducing any rifles that were safe for smokeless loads.
    13
  3785. +Archibald The archer I don't have a chance to do a video on that particular one, but I will cover the vis 35 sooner or later.
    13
  3786. A slight chance, I suppose, but not much. The energy from the gas is pretty well expended by getting the bolt and carrier moving.
    13
  3787. Heh - I would love to get my hands on some of those rifles. If we can manage to get to St Petersburg and have access to them, you bet I'll get some videos. I have no idea when that might be possible, though.
    13
  3788. +DARTHMOBIUS Actually, the two are not mechanically related. Just the bullpup concept.
    13
  3789. Caboose - In theory, I will be selling off a few once the book is done...but we will see if I actually have the restraint to do so, rather than keeping them all. :)
    13
  3790. I don't know yet - the manuscript is about 75k works now, and will probably be 80-85 thousand when finished. I am guessing about 300 pages once we add in the photographs.
    13
  3791. Lego4U2 The use of Luger drums in the MP18 SMGs was limited to only a few years. Most of the guns were updated to MP18/II configuration using double-stack box magazines after WWI.
    13
  3792. There is more to is than that, but you don't see it in this video.
    13
  3793. Because I don't speak German, probably. :)
    13
  3794. 8mm French Ordnance. Often called 8mm Lebel Revolver, but it actually has no connection to Lebel.
    13
  3795. Actually, recoil on a blow-forward is notably worse than other actions. Since the slide is moving forward, Newton's laws require an equal force pushing backwards. So in addition to the recoil from the bullet, you also have the recoil generated by the slide going forward.
    13
  3796. Matthew Harger The AR was commercially marketed; the MAS was not. It was built by a state-owned arsenal, and not offered for mass sale beyond French colonies.
    13
  3797. Judging by what was sore the next day, I was indeed using my whole body...😆
    13
  3798. Obturation is the action of the brass case expanding to seal when the cartridge fires.
    13
  3799. The details vary with each particular gun, but in general the rings are for different aircraft speeds, and the radial pieces are for different angles of travel. So you pick the direction and speed of the target aircraft and use that intersection of wires in the sight as your aiming point to get the proper lead.
    13
  3800. It was not rechambered. In fact, nothing was done to them at all and it would be impossible to distinguish one today from any other M16 Berthier.
    13
  3801. You must be in Canada or Australia...
    13
  3802. Yes, I did try that.
    13
  3803. We don't have it available by itself here, but it will be available at HeadstampPublishing.com after the kickstarter ends, and we plan to keep it in print.
    13
  3804. Not practical for an infantry rifle.
    13
  3805. There is a reason I'm in the credits for BF1...
    13
  3806. It was to match his 70s British kit, and it looked perfect.
    13
  3807. No, it's definitely faster to use the loading gate. If nothing else, Using the gate means you only have to hold onto one piece, rather than the frame, cylinder, and cylinder rod all being separate.
    13
  3808. +Juffe No, it belongs to a friend.
    13
  3809. Well, the match tomorrow has been scrubber for weather. So I'll do that, but it will be a while longer.
    13
  3810. I'm sure there are people out there who can shoot a Lewis from the shoulder effectively, but not very many, and not at a very long range. It was definitely not designed with that method of use in mind.
    13
  3811. I'm sure Google can tell you.
    13
  3812. One-week transfers will drive down the price of suppressors, as more people become interested in getting them. That's a good thing for everyone.
    13
  3813. Thanks!
    13
  3814. California is not yet an international conflict zone.
    13
  3815. Thanks!
    13
  3816. +Panzerfan93 Brass is a lot easier to cast than steel.
    13
  3817. itsthatsebguy93 The fatigues are basically the shop uniform for employees - it helps identify them on the range, and fits the military theme of the whole place. That said, almost everyone there is ex-military.
    13
  3818. The 24s are in .380, and the 27s are in .32.
    13
  3819. FYI, I do also use Floatplane, which is completely independent of both Patreon and YouTube.
    13
  3820. They are already available to backers, but I'm going to space them out a bit here on YouTube... :)
    13
  3821. It's not unusual, but not good. It means the locking parts are excessively worn, and not holding the cylinder like they are supposed to. Whether it's safe to shoot or not really depends on the severity, and you should consult a gunsmith before shooting it.
    13
  3822. That's the next video.
    13
  3823. http://www.forgottenweapons.com/paean-to-the-vickers-gun/
    13
  3824. The LSW is Britain's name for a SAW.
    13
  3825. AFAIK, the slide hoes are just to reduce weight. The laser module had a proprietary mounting system that locked into cutouts in the bottom of the frame.
    13
  3826. chrisloUSA The FG is far easier to actually handle than the BAR. Have you ever tried shooting a BAR from the shoulder? It's 4 or 5 pounds heavier than the FG, and the balance on the BAR is pretty terrible for offhand use. The question of tactics used with the MG34/42 and M1919A4 is complex enough that it deserves a full blog post rather than a YouTube comment. I'll see if I can work on that writeup...
    13
  3827. The frame rate of the camera just doesn't always catch them.
    13
  3828. There is a direct traceable line from the StG-44 to the G3, passing from Germany to France to Spain and back to Germany.
    13
  3829. Yeah, I know. However, it's a very brittle sling, and I am worried that it will break if I try to flip it around.
    13
  3830. It's because the Schnellfeuer model could fire in fully automatic.
    13
  3831. +deviation1000 Yes it would!
    13
  3832. It's original round is the .303 British - not exactly antique. They are pretty easy to set up in 7.62x54R, though.
    13
  3833. Thanks!
    13
  3834. Yes.
    13
  3835. Better than if they sponsored a gas mask stage...
    13
  3836. It's from the camera lens.
    13
  3837. British RAF.
    13
  3838. +MoonUnit IV I didn't realize it ever was...
    13
  3839. I'm sad I was not able to meet him before he passed away. :(
    13
  3840. Both, the balance varies from gun to gun.
    13
  3841. Different mechanism, but the same end result.
    13
  3842. +The Gaming Banana The owner disabled the ejection in order to prevent the brass from getting banged up and dented.
    13
  3843. It does, actually :)
    12
  3844. Which is fine, except for the people who slip when lowering it to half cock and fire unintentionally.
    12
  3845. I just filmed a piece on not one, but two Mars pistols yesterday. ;) It'll be publishing in a couple weeks...
    12
  3846. No, but they are both located in Rock Island, Illinois - hence the names.
    12
  3847. wyzarme Thanks!
    12
  3848. decnet100 Odd - I checked to see if that was an issue before uploading the file, and I am getting sound through both left and right. I'll look into this more...(that's what test videos like this one are for!)
    12
  3849. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqfpxqIK8VY
    12
  3850. Yes, I would. The 9mm Colt SMG was one of the first of those I believe.
    12
  3851. I have no idea...
    12
  3852. +Imanol fuentesito That's a Chauchat.
    12
  3853. You know there is a new one every day, right? :)
    12
  3854. Assuming you mean left handed, the answer is no.
    12
  3855. A dirt berm.
    12
  3856. It's impossible to know, but my guess would be that the focus would have been on 7.92 Kurz rifles like the StG45. They were more useful than SMGs or full power rifles.
    12
  3857. The 3-round clip was the Berthier rifle, which was used side-by-side with the Lebel in WWI (and modified to a 5-round clip in 1916).
    12
  3858. Springfield was not entering its own design in the trials.
    12
  3859. +Orlando Medeiros Yes, I have bid on a couple guns I did videos about, and I did win one of the too. Usually I am selfish, and don't do videos on stuff I am planning to try to buy myself. :)
    12
  3860. Thus proving my point that I am not a gamer. :) What I was getting at was that BF1 is a high-budget sort of game, and its faults will be deliberate choice, not lack of opportunity to make the game outstanding.
    12
  3861. +Trey Westcot Guns brought home as souvenirs had to fit in a duffel bag, which usually required cutting the stock into two pieces. This was typically done so that the cut could be hidden under a barrel band when reassembled.
    12
  3862. It is the specific gun Luty was convicted over.
    12
  3863. Yes, definitely.
    12
  3864. Sevenus Out the loading gate, or by removing the barrel assembly.
    12
  3865. No - Furrer was at Bern, not SIG.
    12
  3866. I had not considered that; it makes a lot of sense.
    12
  3867. More an issue with the reticles than the lenses, so I understand.
    12
  3868. That's a Ross MkIII deliberately assembled wrong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaSui_UqDX8
    12
  3869. "Tankgewehr" was the German word at this time.
    12
  3870. Yep, I understand. FWIW, I was willing to so only because there really was a valid educational reason to do it, and because the rifle had already been sporterized. Since the bolt was the only part actually damaged, it will eventually see new life as a semiauto Huot - a project which would have also required chopping a Ross as well.
    12
  3871. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/submachine-guns/beretta-m1938-family/
    12
  3872. It is designed in the same style and spirit as US Brutalities back when I was part of them. It has no formal or official connection to InRange or Karl.
    12
  3873. Unfortunately, this Ross turned out to have some reliability issues, and isn't really practical to use in one of the matches. I am still on the lookout for another one, though.
    12
  3874. Every gun can be modified to fire full auto if you really want to.
    12
  3875. I make a point to keep the good ones. :)
    12
  3876. It is similar mechanically.
    12
  3877. I may be a Tucsonan, but I'm also a gringo. :)
    12
  3878. Because I didn't do anything beyond trim the length from the raw footage. It's a teaser.
    12
  3879. Holli Worden Glad to hear it's useful material - thanks!
    12
  3880. No worries - also tomorrow is Icelandic guns, and Sunday is some bonus Flux Raider footage from Desert Brutality.
    12
  3881. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=161JT0WRVf4
    12
  3882. +Thomas Hamm Sure, if you get some .56 Spencer ammo.
    12
  3883. +Xandros999 Leans into it better.
    12
  3884. Haha - yeah, I realized that when I edited the video together. :)
    12
  3885. Not only is it on the list, but it's already halfway done. During the session when I took this video, I also did some 2000 fps shot of a Schwarzlose 1908. They really aren't fast enough to see good detail, though, and I'm going back out in a couple days to get some higher frame-rate footage of it. That video should be up some time next week.
    12
  3886. Sorry - I ave no control over the ads.
    12
  3887. PvtMartin78 Oh shit, you're right!! :)
    12
  3888. A good point; the M1A1 was not meant for universal replacement of the M1.
    12
  3889. ***** Nope, these are not particularly expensive, as machine guns go.
    12
  3890. I expect you could, the the velocity would be much reduced by the water's resistance and the accuracy problems would be magnified.
    12
  3891. Waxed asbestos string wrapped around the bearing surfaces at the front and back of the barrel.
    12
  3892. 9mm Bergmann, which is a 9x23mm basically identical to 9mm Largo.
    12
  3893. Yes, that is the caliber - and the action is similar to the Mauser.
    12
  3894. +HaqqAttak I have no idea. I didn't notice it at the time; only when I started editing the footage together. :)
    12
  3895. https://auctions.morphyauctions.com/lot-573819.aspx
    12
  3896. +FishingplusRandom No, this is an original one - this video is the reason Sons of Guns had me on as a guest.
    12
  3897. I plan to :)
    12
  3898. .44 AMP is dimensioned such that shortened .308 cases can be used to make it.
    12
  3899. Brownells is working to fix that today - sorry!
    12
  3900. Right?
    12
  3901. +ealtar It's an one bolt SMG, nothing prevents firing out of battery. :)
    12
  3902. Yes.
    12
  3903. The Chinese 5-color banner introduced in 1912 and used for a few years.
    12
  3904. Yes, water.
    12
  3905. By the time those Mauser's were being rechambered (they were originally in 8x57) in the mid/late 1950s the Dror was relegated to training only.
    12
  3906. Well, that definitely makes more sense that it being a manufacturer's code.
    12
  3907. We didn't have any at the range.
    12
  3908. +Cory Mcclure Thanks!
    12
  3909. buckaroobonsi555 The pressure isn't the relevant detail - it's the fact that the chamber has been effectively moved forward to a point where there is far less material supporting the throat than originally designed.
    12
  3910. +BASlade93 No, not at all. The Enfield is significantly more powerful.
    12
  3911. I don't think overheating would be too much of a problem - it has a fairly heavy barrel. I would guess that powder fouling would cause a problem before heat would.
    12
  3912. Typically not that hard to find, but they are all commercial modifications (not military). If you want one as a shooter, go for it - I have one myself and rather like it. They have a reputation for unreliability because some were not well built, so be aware of that.
    12
  3913. Any patents would be long, long expired.
    12
  3914. +Mark Lasater Rimfire cartridge were invented first, before people figured how to make standalone reliable primers.
    12
  3915. Yes, it's a pretty heavy trigger.
    12
  3916. Yes, I have found the person. Whether they make an appearance on the channel remains to be seen.
    12
  3917. Nick Galbraith Nope, not yet.
    12
  3918. +rubberchicken 69 How long do you have? :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCJ4pLmOOjM
    12
  3919. Yeah, Ive seen that too. It's propaganda. Couldn't really tell GIs they were going up against weaponry better than their own.
    12
  3920. Actually, the only element of the MG42 that made its way into the M60 was the feed cover design. The rest of the M60 design was developed from the FG-42, which was in turn partially based on the Lewis Gun.
    12
  3921. Yup, that's the one. The room I was filming in is just through those double doors in the header photo.
    12
  3922. That guy is definitely mistaken. The .30 Remington AR has both a significantly larger rim diameter and larger base diameter, meaning that it will not fit in the bolt face of the Model 8, nor will it physically fit into the chamber. In general, you should always be skeptical of claims that two different cartridges are interchangeable. There are a very few circumstances where that is true, and a very large number where it is not.
    12
  3923. Double.
    12
  3924. The Warlord Era predates communism in China.
    12
  3925. Yes, they are.
    12
  3926. It's not an oil buffer, it's a spring.
    12
  3927. The fire was going and the rocks were hot, but the door was open so much it was only slightly warmer than the outside.
    12
  3928. Lower operating pressure of the cartridges.
    12
  3929. Bruh I have a computer for working, not gaming.
    12
  3930. I'm in the credits. Did some consulting with them for it. Not a lot, but a little.
    12
  3931. My review: Verdun is excellent and lots of fun. You should buy it.
    12
  3932. Thanks! :)
    12
  3933. The Voevodin.
    12
  3934. He runs the Institute of Military Technology.
    12
  3935. They were all machine-guns; this one was rebuilt as a semiautomatics from a parts kit and new receiver tube.
    12
  3936. Yes.
    12
  3937. I pulled it back into my video editing software to check that out, and they are individual frames from elsewhere in the clip. I have no idea why they got out of place like that, but I would guess it has something to do with the source footage I had, I realize it's a bit distracting, but they aren't sneaky subliminal messages. :)
    12
  3938. Heh...no, it's "FEU". French for "Fire". Common marking on pistols of the era.
    12
  3939. +Klasik Domace Sure, but "Yovanovitch" is what he wrote on the pistol.
    12
  3940. We are planning to launch it once Thorneycroft books are in peoples' hands - don't want to have two projects outstanding at the same time.
    12
  3941. Glad you enjoyed it
    12
  3942. And now that you've seen one, you've seen them all! :) FWIW, if you want to learn more about where the HK family came from, you should watch my video "Last Ditch Innovation", about the genesis of roller-delayed blowback. It even has an HK91 in it, at the end...
    12
  3943. I would say the Maxim gun.
    12
  3944. +gator36b Not really much recoil from a .36 caliber black powder revolver in the first place...
    12
  3945. If you get a copy, French rifles may become your interest... :)
    12
  3946. The charging handle is on the left side of the front handguard, but the bolt lock and release are in the rear sight block.
    12
  3947. It won't go before the 31st; use your new address.
    12
  3948. Jeff Lucky That's why it says "trailer" in the title.
    12
  3949. +Filipe Amaral Nope. :(
    12
  3950. +Blaine Bugaski Faster than you can pull the trigger, I would expect.
    12
  3951. Not yet.
    12
  3952. I am looking into the possibility that bottom-loading examples have been modified to allow it. The small sample size of guns available makes it a bit tricky to be sure.
    12
  3953. From a practical perspective, the issue with using the half-cock as a safety is manually dropping the hammer halfway down after chambering a round. In addition, cocking the hammer manually is basically the same a just racking the slide in terms of time and movement required.
    12
  3954. +Harrison There is no particular meaning to that.
    12
  3955. +grazzitdvram Indeed!
    12
  3956. It was a review gun sent by Taurus.
    12
  3957. There were no truly successful conversions of bolt actions into semi autos. The Charlton is probably the closest, and it's not a good gun objectively.
    12
  3958. I've been holding off because I have a friend who owns one that I think we can take out shooting.
    12
  3959. Yes, the US adopted the Hotchkiss Portative as the M1909 Benet-Mercie.
    12
  3960. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Bgb4SGTgDY
    12
  3961. +Shag Fullmetal I'll get the ban hammer warmed up.
    12
  3962. Seems to me that as long as people enjoy the games enough to be willing to pay for all sorts of extras, the company will maintain that sales model. Why wouldn't they?
    12
  3963. The White patent expired in 1871.
    12
  3964. The camera was a Sionyx OPSIN digital NV monocular.
    12
  3965. +Alexander Martin No, blow-forward is when the barrel itself moves forward.
    12
  3966. jeffdude100 Yes, I buy stuff from Rock Island - although usually at the Regional auctions. My most recent purchase included the G41(W) that featured in the last 2-gun match.
    12
  3967. proudamericanrobman No, serial numbers are required on newly-manufactured guns (since 1968), but are not required to be added to guns that did not originally have them (except in cases of present-day importation from outside the US). Also, guns are not registered in the US at the federal level, and only at the state level in a few states.
    12
  3968. Generally I was starting with 10 rounds loaded - the exception was stage 4 (which only allowed 5 rounds to be fired from the rifle). Doesn't help so much when I miss a lot, though. :)
    12
  3969. I didn't realize how that looked until I was compiling the video - it's actually pointing in front of me (and the bolt is open the whole time, too).
    12
  3970. We were able to find a US printer for that one, but we have to wait several more months before they will have paper to start the printing. The book is done from our end, it's just waiting for the printing process to begin.
    12
  3971. Yeah, I've seen references to a couple big collections of them, but never had actual contact info for the owners (if they are still alive today...)
    12
  3972. I wish I could, but I promised a run of only 250 and I have to stick to it.
    12
  3973. The BAR was more reliable.
    12
  3974. +kolemijn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrWqf3CQrDY
    12
  3975. I plan to do a bunch of video of the whole tour.
    12
  3976. +finalfantasy50 They're not exactly falling out of trees, but you can find them if you look.
    12
  3977. There is literally a bibliography in the description and footnotes in the video.
    12
  3978. Pertelot That's not the same type of gun. Similar, though.
    12
  3979. I have; they shoot nicely.
    12
  3980. No, I will be spending Halloween this year shooting the Red Oktober AK match (which will be filmed for InRangeTV).
    12
  3981. That's an optical comparator for inspecting machined parts.
    12
  3982. I have a video on the Kalthoff posting next month.
    12
  3983. CplLe52irRC Fussy isn't really the right word; it was designed for a specific pressure curve and bullet weight (standard military M2 ball). Using ammunition that generates a longer pressure curve (like commercial hunting ammo with heavy bullets) can damage the operating rod by putting too much force on it.
    12
  3984. Er, yes. Although technically, the supply of M34 and MAS 36 at the start of WW1 was also similar. :)
    12
  3985. It would be amazing if Springbank sponsored me! :)
    12
  3986. The rotating barrel design never has completely disappeared. The Beretta PX4 and Cougar use it today, for example. Colt used it in their ill-fated All-American 2000, which failed for reasons unrelated to the rotating barrel system.
    12
  3987. Good thing I’m not either then?
    12
  3988. Fiocchi makes 8 Steyr still, you just have to grab it when a batch is imported. Same with 8 Nambu and 9 Largo.
    12
  3989. Sure, one for semiauto and one for fullauto. Other designs had a progressive trigger, where pulling partially fired semi and pulling all the way back fired full. But we ended up standardizing on a single trigger and a selector lever to change the setting.
    12
  3990. Haha - yes. :)
    12
  3991. I made it unlisted because it was uploaded without actually being finished.
    12
  3992. I explain the repeat at the end of the video. These are extremely rare.
    12
  3993. 1) Yeah, indefinitely postponed due to war and embargo 2) No, we did not make the accessory items for Sword.
    12
  3994. IIRC, it was 1500 or 1800 Euros.
    12
  3995. We do have a line on a Pedersen device we can shoot (and we have some ammo for it), but it is a couple thousand miles away. At some point we will definitely do a video of it, though.
    12
  3996. No, the Welrod was developed during WWII.
    12
  3997. Because the design and work were done by an American.
    12
  3998. As others have said, the gun can be unlocked to move freely in both windage and elevation (or just one or the other, if you want). They can also be locked down for firing at a specific target. The Vickers was used in both roles, including indirect fire aimed mathematically at a target not directly observable (like artillery).
    12
  3999. Don;'t tell anyone, but that's the final stretch goal... ;)
    12
  4000. That wasn't really the force of the concussion, it was me reflexively jerking away from the blast.
    12
  4001. +Spearfisher1970 The Danish coast guard adopted a run of about 50 self-loading Madsen-Rasmussen rifles in 1896. That's the earliest one I'm aware of.
    12
  4002. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hvgZ3qxzbw
    12
  4003. Nope, that was from the scope mount on an EM-2. :)
    12
  4004. It totally happened, don't let them fool you.
    12
  4005. Yeah, he claims it uses friction, but I'm dubious. I think the frictional energy just turns into heat, because the slide doesn't start moving until after the bullet is gone.
    12
  4006. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/how-to-become-a-professional-gun-nerd/
    12
  4007. We checked it before we started filming.
    12
  4008. I doubt it.
    12
  4009. Patreon is my primary support, but not the only one.
    12
  4010. This is the first of a series of 6 or 8 videos following the development of this rifle, which will be posting three per week.
    12
  4011. It's posting tomorrow and Saturday.
    12
  4012. Mle 1885 :)
    12
  4013. But do trust one named "Lick MaBalls"?
    12
  4014. He is doing very well, recovering from recent surgery.
    12
  4015. Yes, the bipod height is adjustable.
    12
  4016. This wasn't rechambered by the Chinese, because it came back from the war with a US vet. The Wikipedia article is wrong, based on a mistake in US Army documentation from the war.
    12
  4017. "Ultimate" as in final and best.
    12
  4018. +Kloick Yes, I have a video on one of them coming.
    12
  4019. +Jimme John Yes
    12
  4020. Congrats! I know you'll enjoy the FG42, and I have high hopes for the StGs!
    12
  4021. +Simon Stoll Thanks!
    12
  4022. It should; they are the same birds. Much of TTRL was filmed right on Guadalcanal.
    12
  4023. Rather to my surprise, it worked perfectly the whole time and didn't give me any problems. The field of view is a bit constricted and the brightness is just barely bright enough, but it worked.
    12
  4024. Yes, it's a semi auto export model called the M76.
    12
  4025. Substantially better handling, IMO. Certainly not everyone will want or get one, and that's fine.
    12
  4026. +Andrei Marinescu Because I totally didn't say I would do that at the end of the video.
    12
  4027. Yes.
    12
  4028. The semiautonomous version is the Astra 900.
    12
  4029. It has no special significance.
    12
  4030. It's a Leatherman Wave. I don't have a particular favorite; the Wave just happens to be what I carry most days.
    12
  4031. No shooting, but I did film a number of guns, including domestic production Icelandic ones
    12
  4032. It depends. A legitimately broken gun, no - but if you deliberately mess with it to make it full auto, then it is illegal.
    12
  4033. If they invite me I would consider it.
    12
  4034. The best.
    12
  4035. Vetterli.
    12
  4036. If the magazine goes in too far it will block the bolt from moving forward.
    12
  4037. Mike Sweeney Thanks!
    12
  4038. Thousands.
    12
  4039. ***** Karl and I have both pretty much had enough of shooting the BAR...
    12
  4040. It's never too early for a FAMAS G2.
    12
  4041. Varusteleka.com
    12
  4042. Both the FN49 and MAS49 are on my list to run through one of these matches...so I'll let you know. :)
    12
  4043. It ensures that the striker is not released before the bolt is fully locked in battery. It can also control rate of fire by delaying the striker longer than strictly necessary for safety.
    12
  4044. munkSWE88 Yup, same guy. He also had an 1891 semiauto pistol (didn't work so well) and the primary heavy machine gun used by the Austro-Hungarian military. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_pWNjuZj30
    12
  4045. +Riki-Oh I plan to do videos on a couple of FN49 variants, but I have access to them at home where I can shoot them.
    12
  4046. They don't. You load it on the ground.
    12
  4047. Not really power; they make appliances.
    12
  4048. Because it wasn't designed by Georg Parabellum. :)
    12
  4049. Maybe ten trillion.
    12
  4050. +Jessie Contreras Myth and Reality of the Ross MkIII
    12
  4051. Absolutely still in the works. It's a pretty complex one, and will take me a while to write.
    11
  4052. To be clear, the only thing I would do differently in retrospect is break up the Bergmann videos a little bit with other material in between.
    11
  4053. I wasn't comfortable taking this one apart.
    11
  4054. Sorry; I have no control over the ads.
    11
  4055. The red stripe was to denote rifles in .30-06; M1 Garands got the same treatment.
    11
  4056. I looked at it, but frankly I have no idea what it was designed for, or by whom, or when - and I didn't want to do a video that just speculation.
    11
  4057. All the cool kids are over on Full30. :)
    11
  4058. Nope, I do all the editing.
    11
  4059. +Kyle Hertler Ok - drop me an email at admin@forgottenweapons.com
    11
  4060. Then you will like my next book... ;)
    11
  4061. IchBinJager These seem to be in fine condition to shoot, IMO. You would need to make your own ammo, but that wouldn't be too hard (my understanding is that you can use .44 Russian brass with minimal modification).
    11
  4062. Yup.
    11
  4063. Nothing significant, fortunately.
    11
  4064. ...which was Saive's improvement on Browning's design.
    11
  4065. It's not a clip guide, it's where the bolt retention screw and washer stop.
    11
  4066. Tell your friends to subscribe. :)
    11
  4067. You can't. My mother made it for me.
    11
  4068. Galand was French.
    11
  4069. +MrAlumni72 The .30-06 has a whole lot more energy that a pistol cartridge. The VG1-5 was a functional blowback in 7.92x33 Kurx, and needed a bolt weighing about 6 pounds to work safely.
    11
  4070. CPHannigan Yes. Also, the original barrels weren't rifled, which would also qualify them for AOW status.
    11
  4071. Thanks!
    11
  4072. Out of battery safety; disconnects the trigger if the slide is not fully forward.
    11
  4073. 556deltawolf I like it. Good sights, simple, and durable. If France has made them in 7.62 NATO, they would be far more popular in the US.
    11
  4074. Yes. The Swiss licensed the King patent loading system, as used on the Winchester 1866.
    11
  4075. Most of the commercial imports had the new grip - lots of them had the new hand guards, too.
    11
  4076. Lol - I spent about 10 years playing the pipes before my YouTube days. They will make a return some day.
    11
  4077. Yep.
    11
  4078. Typically, the consigner has the option to get the item back or re-list it in a future auction (presumably with a lower reserve).
    11
  4079. I plan to next time. With COVID, I didn’t want to cross any more borders than necessary .
    11
  4080. Yes, several.
    11
  4081. M1C Sniper Garand https://youtu.be/Cn8EEypC31M
    11
  4082. I shot this yesterday, and the scores aren't posted yet. I will add them to the description when they are.
    11
  4083. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
    11
  4084. I have basically been forced to fend off braai offers with a stick. Very friendly people down here! :)
    11
  4085. e-Legal Canadian No, I didn't this one is too valuable for me to be able to shoot while it's on consignment. Finding ammo for it would be tough too - I don't think anything has used the rimless .455 since World War I...
    11
  4086. Sure, I can bid on anything I want.
    11
  4087. Yes. Both left-handers and right-handers can shoot it right-handed.
    11
  4088. While there are some investors like that, the substantial majority of the NFA community would strongly support repeal of the NFA.
    11
  4089. 4th Instagram Rangers
    11
  4090. The idea that H&K could sue Finland into buying a non-domestic-production rifle is so laughably ridiculous that it really makes one wonder just how out of touch H&K management really is.
    11
  4091. +Harley Thor Then he shouldn't have put a K and a J in his name. :)
    11
  4092. No. As a formally accredited museum institution, they are not allowed to do things like shoot with their collection artifacts. That policy is designed to ensure things don't get broken or damaged, and applied to museum artifacts universally, not just firearms.
    11
  4093. This one went for $18,400. Rock Island publishes a list of hammer prices on their site for prior auctions - but you have to know the lot number.
    11
  4094. MrReded69 Really, Ross got a lot right. The rifles are extremely strong and very accurate. Had they been issued in the Boer War (they hadn't been invented at the time, but bear with me) instead of World War I, our popular perception of them would have been totally different. In a dry climate requiring precise long-range shooting, a Ross MkIII would be an outstanding choice for a bolt-action rifle.
    11
  4095. https://youtu.be/w2T91StdP0s
    11
  4096. I understand why one would suspect that, but no - it really bears no similarity to a Mini-14.
    11
  4097. On InRange, once we get one.
    11
  4098. +Shawn Darling Nope.
    11
  4099. I tried the red balls 20s before the match, and they did not run with my ammo.
    11
  4100. Honestly I don't care. It's about creating the best experience for our competitors and sponsors; not getting some sort of tribute. The real work was done by 1 Shepherd anyway...
    11
  4101. He stipulated the name himself, because he provided the funding to create it in his will.
    11
  4102. Handguards, or lack thereof, on this sort of machine gun are primarily to ensure that the gunner can change the barrel without being burned. That they also allow some level of practicality for firing offhand is an unintended side effect.  While some people can control these guns very well, the utility of firing them offhand is very, very slim. These guns are most effective when used at a much greater range than can be done offhand, and from a supported position (to improve aim and reduce the gunner's exposure).
    11
  4103. Yes.
    11
  4104. No, they are about the same.
    11
  4105. The Cody Firearms Museum.
    11
  4106. In a couple days.
    11
  4107. Actually, it was not withdrawn from service in 1940 and it bears no similarity to the Barrett rifle aside form the fact that they are both anti-material rifles.
    11
  4108. +Himlow Odinmire The gun is in great shape; ammo is difficult to find and not in production today.
    11
  4109. One of the things I really like about the Hellion/VHS2 is that American buyers aren't the beta testers. This rifle went through many years of military development and the result is a known-good, reliable product.
    11
  4110. No, it is a different mechanism. The M76 is basically an AK.
    11
  4111. +xx1simon1xx There is a difference between proper modern Russian warheads and the el-cheapo Chinese ones getting sold into the Middle East these days.
    11
  4112. I do that deliberately, you know...
    11
  4113. Already filmed.
    11
  4114. All I can do is apologize - I have no control over the ads the YouTube chooses to run.
    11
  4115. Bude-jon Nimstric The Chinese guns are C96 Mausers, not Lugers.
    11
  4116. Better trigger control.
    11
  4117. MSRP is 3200; I do not have one of my own yet.
    11
  4118. The grip is has a muchbetter feel than you would expect from its looks - it points well for me (despite the teensy tiny sights). The trigger is reasonably decent, and recoil is nice and mild.
    11
  4119. If I can get my hands on one, definitely - but I can't predict if or when that will happen.
    11
  4120. I'm not specifically familiar with the Prince design, but generally the rifling will prevent the ball from moving forward.
    11
  4121. No.
    11
  4122. I certainly will sooner or later.
    11
  4123. Yes, the Norinco 77B.
    11
  4124. The Surefire mags are all compatible with standard AR magazine wells - the width doesn't increase until below that level. Quad-stack is only appropriate for mags over 40 rounds, IMO. Less than that the the additional cost and complexity isn't worth the savings in length.
    11
  4125. +Ass Cancer I got most of the story from a Polish firearms expert, who is in the process of writing it up for publication in SAR or a similar magazine.
    11
  4126. +TheOminousGamer No idea why it happened; I did my best with my editing tools. The deluge of comments about it is doing to drive me crazy.
    11
  4127. The type designation just indicates the year of adoption. Just like the US has an M1 rifle, M1 carbine, M1 submachine gun, and so on, the Japanese have multiple Type 100 weapons (as well as Type 99s, for that matter).
    11
  4128. Nukle0n That's the fault of the SOT who built this particular one, and is not representative of original Czech manufacturing.
    11
  4129. Edmond Kwan The Type 99 snipers early on used 2.5x scopes, but late production ones had a 4x scope with an elevation adjustment on the scope body.
    11
  4130. Heh - I was trying to figure out how on earth to get a sight picture through those bottom ports, and the time limit happily solved the problem for me. :) Thanks for the SMG note - I fixed it.
    11
  4131. Yes, I am working on one.
    11
  4132. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZuGNYk3xUQ
    11
  4133. You would have to have multiple simultaneous failures to have the breechblock come off, so I don't think it's likely to happen.
    11
  4134. It's a smoothbore handgun, which makes it an AOW...although the original production ones have been specifically exempted from the NFA. New production repros have rifled barrels to avoid the issue.
    11
  4135. +Tr4wnet They used 10s and 20s. Some 40s were made, but not in common circulation.
    11
  4136. Bentley Boss Dboule action/single action. Meaning that the gun can be fired double action with the hammer down, or single action with the hammer cocked. Typically this type of pistol is carried with the hammer down on a loaded chamber, and the first shot is double action. The slide recocks the hammer when it cycles, and the subsequent shots are fired single action,
    11
  4137. +Andrew Lay No - it has one magazine for powder and one for projectiles.
    11
  4138. Thanks, but I think soldier is fine.
    11
  4139. https://youtu.be/o3UN4gLLPPc?t=281
    11
  4140. Whenever possible, I try to make contact with museums through people I already know, who have connections already. When that's not possible, I just call them up, ask for the curator or PR folks, and explain what I'd like to do. It doesn't always work, but it usually gets good results. Most museums are genuinely interested in educating and spreading knowledge, and having the web site and YouTube channel really help establish my bona fides as a person with that same mission.
    11
  4141. Left handed and eyed.
    11
  4142. I don't think that originality and style are quite as important to military forces as quality and effectiveness.
    11
  4143. +Kenneth Donnelly Yes, it would.
    11
  4144. +Paul Canning When the action is forward, the bolt is locked and cannot open. Forcing the action to move back ensures that the opening of the bolt is delayed until the bullet has left the barrel and pressure in the barrel has dropped to a safe level.
    11
  4145. Well, a lot of stuff here to respond to...1) Guns don't show up "just in time" for auctions, they are consigned months, if not years, in advance. 2) I do not have any financial stake in the sales. 3) Crappy condition guns exist too, but I don't generally film them (exceptions exist, like the Reifgraber). 4) I use a wide variety of sources for my information, and generally do not even consider what a consignor claims. 5) I have several videos I have done specifically about fakes (wheel locks, Type 99 w/ bipod, etc) and I do not otherwise film guns I suspect to be faked. If you have actual evidence that something I present as legit is fake (other than ignorant skepticism) I would be happy to hear you out. My goal is truth, and I have no vested interest in anything I film. I do take some issue with your general and completely unsubstantiated accusations of dishonesty, though. 6) Serious collectors are certainly at RIA and Julia auctions. 7) Minor technical point, trading requires the exact same paperwork as selling.
    11
  4146. No lefthanded ones. Everyone knows the Übermenschen are all properly right-handed! :)
    11
  4147. By coincidence, Cap & Ball is one of the channels also on History of Weapons & War...
    11
  4148. No.
    11
  4149. Yep, I saw it.
    11
  4150. +poMocnyMichal Also the Ng30.
    11
  4151. +Ratiasu1 It will slam forward with the first shot if you do that. Better for parts lifespan to push it forward manually.
    11
  4152. I plan to make a whole series of these. :)
    11
  4153. Yes.
    11
  4154. What he said.
    11
  4155. Both.
    11
  4156. I have a video on the Beretta 1931 coming next week which will explain those changes in detail.
    11
  4157. We got the idea from some archival footage of Owen SMG testing that was done this way: http://www.t3licensing.com/license/clip/48050209_2200.do
    11
  4158. Yeah, it's dead. We have some other things in the works, though.
    11
  4159. Close, it's made of aluminum. ;)
    11
  4160. The barrel is pretty thick, and I think it would take a while to heat up significantly. Given how slow and otherwise unpleasant this would be to shoot, the heat would not prove to be a major issue.
    11
  4161. MexicanTroll Yes, but you'll have to wait 5 more days for it.
    11
  4162. I believe the Luger rifle was recoil-operated, but I have not actually handled one.
    11
  4163. BUG match video is tomorrow :)
    11
  4164. +stinkiekiller declerck Yep
    11
  4165. I don't know, and don't plan to find out. :)
    11
  4166. Joseph G. No, the .30-03 was rimless. The major change from -03 to -06 was going from a round nose bullet to a spitzer. Most of the other European powders made the same change around that time.
    11
  4167. +57WillysCJ Neat, thanks!
    11
  4168. I have not (yet).
    11
  4169. Sure.
    11
  4170. Michael Parker The federal excise tax on firearms and ammunition is 11%.
    11
  4171. Those Rhodesians were not carrying Cobray Streetsweepers.
    11
  4172. I hope so, but it's up to them. They have an open invitation to join us any time they want to.
    11
  4173. https://www.instagram.com/forgottenweapons/
    11
  4174. It feels awkward, but I think with some practice it could be cycled pretty well with the middle finger.
    11
  4175. ***** Assassination? I don't think so.
    11
  4176. It's a prop built on a P38.
    11
  4177. I don't know for sure, but I would expect .303 Brit, given the use of a Ross barrel and Ross magazine.
    11
  4178. Thanks! :)
    11
  4179. +Jimme John https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ODhQmE2OqY
    11
  4180. It was hot outside.
    11
  4181. At that time, ATF was part of the Treasury, because its operations are based on tax stamps.
    11
  4182. Yes, massive numbers of Sten tubes, MAC flats, DIAS, and others were built and registered right before the ban took effect.
    11
  4183. Some old-timey crank who thought percussion caps were a passing fad. :)
    11
  4184. These are not reuploads.
    11
  4185. +Brandon Moucheron Remember, the Browning 1900 used a proprietary cartridge too - the 7.65mm Browning, AKA .32 ACP. So did many other guns, and once they became successful other people starting using their ammo in new designs.
    11
  4186. +Winstan Yes. If Patreon gets to the point where I can afford it, I have a bunch of trips in mind!
    11
  4187. It is still a project in progress.
    11
  4188. Then do it! :)
    11
  4189. You can see estimated values by clicking the link to RIA's page, in the description.
    11
  4190. superbrofire Considering I just won this rifle at auction today, I plan to! :)
    11
  4191. Yes, that is my father.
    11
  4192. This video was specifically made for people who want to obey the law.
    11
  4193. Yeah, pre-68 vet bringback.
    11
  4194. No, it was from an EM-2.
    11
  4195. I'm pretty happy with my left-handed work on the Enfield, and I don't think it put me at any real disadvantage.
    11
  4196. +David Moore No, they are long gone. A batch were found a few years ago dating to the 60s; that's all that is left. I don't know that reloading them is very practical; most people use propane torches instead. We will touch on that in Monday's video.
    11
  4197. The great part is that you don't have to apply to anyone. Just start doing it.
    11
  4198. It's for a lanyard, to prevent you from losing it if dropped while on horseback.
    11
  4199. Nothing ventured nothing gained, right?
    11
  4200. I tend to call long guns "rifles" whether they are rifles or smoothbore. A habit I try to break, but don't always succeed at.
    11
  4201. +Costantino Andruzzi Several significant countries adopted the Luger well before 1907.
    11
  4202. Too powerful for a blowback action.
    11
  4203. You would fill out the NFA Form 4 - Julia will walk you through that process.
    11
  4204. I plan to!
    11
  4205. Haha...it was Russell Phagan, and the general consensus is that he is, in fact, a cyborg.
    11
  4206. There is debate over that; it's not clear. As far as I know, no individual has even been charged for violating 922(r).
    11
  4207. Short version, yes.
    11
  4208. I appreciate that!
    11
  4209. Yep, those guns also used flapper locks. The reason I specifically mentioned the G43 is that the EM-2 locking pieces are dimensionally very similar to them, while the DP (and RPD) family used much larger ones.
    11
  4210. Often they were, but the idea was to issue three mags per rifle. I've owned original Russian magazine pouches for the SVT.
    11
  4211. Utreon is not connected to Patreon in any way; they are explicitly competing with Patreon.
    11
  4212. Yes, it goes into substantial depth on the question of who designed the MP38/40, and why Schmeisser's name is associated with them.
    11
  4213. +Dr. Gun Same design - the Brigadier was the commercial name for the Beretta 51, which the Helwan is a licensed copy of.
    11
  4214. No, you can't tell that it's happening at all.
    11
  4215. There's no way to have side-mounted magazines and maintain the modularity.
    11
  4216. No, they provided the gun as a loaner but paid me nothing.
    11
  4217. It has a luminous front sight.
    11
  4218. What's interesting to me is that the gun is only famous among counterstrike gamers. Whatever fame it may have there does not transcend into the real world.
    11
  4219. +TiglathPileser3 The KE-9 video has not published yet.
    11
  4220. Typically a spring-loaded ejector in the left wall of the receiver. It gets pushed flush by the bolt and barrel, and pops out to eject when the bolt is locked back and the barrel is forward.
    11
  4221. Nope, I don't have one. shrug
    11
  4222. Sadly, no.
    11
  4223. The bots are bad at slow motion.
    11
  4224. Yes, they have regional and online-only auctions with less valuable items.
    11
  4225. +Joonas Kanerva Yes, that was how they were all made. The sights can be seen from either shoulder without any real difficulty.
    11
  4226. Not invented, commercially available.
    11
  4227. A majority of countries in the EU allow people to own ARs, although they must be registered.
    11
  4228. Yes, the Type 97 and Type 99 snipers.
    11
  4229. That's because I get to do it for one weekend, have a beer afterwards, and then go home. 😆
    11
  4230. Yes, but very well.
    11
  4231. I filmed this before Othais published his, and did not have access to the cablegrams he located.
    11
  4232. "Oh look, Ian brought some weird crap to the match again; imagine our surprise."
    11
  4233. http://www.forgottenweapons.com/light-rifle-program/
    11
  4234. So far, I have filmed in the Royal Armouries museum, Cody Firearms Museum, Danish Army museum, Dutch Army museum, and National (US) WW2 Museum.
    11
  4235. "Tank" was the term used in WWI by Germany, prior to the use of the word "panzer".
    11
  4236. O NOES Sons of Guns, season 5 episode 9.
    11
  4237. I'd love to to a PIAT video. :) Just have to get my hands on one...
    11
  4238. I don't know the exact engineer details, but it was found that a hard enough blow to the back of the slide could cause them to discharge when the chamber was loaded. Colt recalled about 26,000 of them and fixed that issue free of charge.
    11
  4239. It would be fun, but I just don't have the time to do one. I am a co-host on the Gun Nation podcast every other show, though.
    11
  4240. This carbine is not in BF1.
    11
  4241. You realize it's from 1930, right? After WWI had been over for 12 years?
    11
  4242. +RobertoDonatti I have never done anything that generated more hate than posting PPV videos.
    11
  4243. +Ironstorm Rifle volley sights typical go out a lot farther than the regular sight - to 2500m or more. This requires mounting the front sight low on the gun and the rear sight high, in order to get enough upward angle on the barrel. It you were to build that into the regular rear sight it would be really outlandishly tall.
    11
  4244. I have not looked into what they may have returned to Vichy forces, but the Germans did use substantial amounts of captured French arms themselves. A lot of it went to troops on the Atlantic Wall and occupation duties, where they were not expected to see combat and thus the logistics of ammunition and parts supply were not all that important.
    11
  4245. Browning Machine Gun - which is what the round was initially developed for.
    11
  4246. No, they are available. I would expect to pay $600-$800.
    11
  4247. Yup, and we cover it in the book. :)
    11
  4248. Centerfire cases are reusable and their style of primer is more reliable.
    11
  4249. I think this is a perfect time to present rational, factual, and nonpartisan information on something that is of relevance at the moment to a lot of people.
    11
  4250. I had a moment of stupid with a vegetable slicer...and then I filmed this RIA series of videos over just a couple days, so it shows up in all the videos.
    11
  4251. Heavy machine gun, same role as the Browning M2.
    11
  4252. biged3ff149 9x19
    11
  4253. https://youtu.be/_hvgZ3qxzbw
    11
  4254. Better than Mosins...
    11
  4255. Coming next week.
    11
  4256. No idea at this point, sorry.
    11
  4257. See, that's what I get for not bringing along someone like the Chieftain. I learn something new every day! :)
    11
  4258. +jon bush Yes.
    11
  4259. I usually stick to more modern stuff, but if I get my hands on one I'll do some video.
    11
  4260. MG08 Maxim sled mount.
    11
  4261. Typically a light machine gun is box magazine fed, bipod and shoulder fired, and chambered for a rifle cartridge. Pistol caliber guns are typically categorized as submachine guns.
    11
  4262. Yeah, had to clean that out when I got home :)
    11
  4263. A revolver doesn't have to manage the force of firing to cycle a slide, with potentially fragile moving parts.
    11
  4264. I feel like Escape From New York didn’t really have high expectations of realism… :)
    11
  4265. teneresand Another interesting magazine to look at would be the Ross 1905 (aka Ross MkII). It doesn't have stripper clip guides, and instead has a lever allowing you to manually depress the follower and drop cartridge in individually. In some ways, very much like the system here on the Radium.
    11
  4266. They did, but not as much as you might expect. A few French long arms were made (MAS 38 SMGs and .22 trainer MAS 36 rifles) but used for French security services. St Etienne made receivers for the G43, but not complete guns. Chatellerault made K98k bayonets.
    11
  4267. Yes, I will. The reload quirk is correct, BTW.
    11
  4268. I would love to do a French edition, but it would depend on there being enough interest, and in finding a French distributor.
    11
  4269. The toggle locking system can run in full auto without any problem. The Swiss did a bunch of work with toggle-action machine guns, and you can find info on them at Forgotten Weapons. The Luger as a pistol isn't practical for full-auto fire just because of its size and magazine capacity.
    11
  4270. I am interested in the history and mechanics, but I have a lot of other guns I would buy before I bought a BAR, and I probably wouldn't take it out shooting much if I did own one.
    11
  4271. No, they are both more GPMG than LMG.
    11
  4272. Yes, I did. :)
    11
  4273. Glad you like it!
    11
  4274. Well, it's not in an auction.
    11
  4275. Everyone though it was cool when we forced people to wear gas masks to shoot at Finnish Brutality...
    11
  4276. Colt 1903 Pocket Hammer serial numbers went backwards for a few years.
    10
  4277. I believe our maximum capacity is 35, FWIW.
    10
  4278. +Matthew Kriebel If it had stripper clip guides, yes. But those hadn't been invented yet.
    10
  4279. It's the same in the US, actually.
    10
  4280. No, although Vickers did make some Lugers.
    10
  4281. Yes, DWM sold bunch of Lugers in .30 Luger here in the US starting in 1900 or so.
    10
  4282. Indeed!
    10
  4283. Yeah, I know - I goofed and then missed it in editing. Sorry!
    10
  4284. Do you think the design process is impacted by the difference between a sealed piston and a leaky hole? If so, that is sufficient basis for a different name for the system. The difference between long and short stroke pistons is similarly minor, but recognized because it reflects different design considerations.
    10
  4285. Opportunity to do a much better shooting video.
    10
  4286. +AustyrNL I plan to - I have one in my own collection.
    10
  4287. Thanks!
    10
  4288. +Moose Yep, it is. Probably counterfeit, since the snaps both work.
    10
  4289. https://youtu.be/ASM0IAfoQzQ https://youtu.be/v-61zggos4w
    10
  4290. No, but there's plenty of that information out there.
    10
  4291. Reload and action animations.
    10
  4292. When you manually cock it, the trigger becomes much lighter, and easier to shoot accurately.
    10
  4293. There are a few handmade reproductions made, but nothing available for commercial sale.
    10
  4294. I didn't think about it that way, but yes. :)
    10
  4295. +Dylan Ridge-Storer Nope, the M2 Hyde was very briefly adopted before being replaced by the M3.
    10
  4296. Future books will not be red and blue; it's that way for these two because those are iconic colors for both Britain and France.
    10
  4297. I took it off because it was unpleasantly loud and concussive
    10
  4298. No, it does not.
    10
  4299. Not yet...
    10
  4300. +iota-09 I was gently tapping it on the top of my boot. :)
    10
  4301. Basically, I came across some of their particularly entertaining surplus item descriptions, and then Karl and I ended up meeting them at SHOT show. It escalated from there...
    10
  4302. If it were WW2 perhaps...
    10
  4303. There is no difference in bullet diameter, zero. I don't know what "comparison factors" are.
    10
  4304. +Ba Dass There are none.
    10
  4305. +Frank Dantuono Correct, it doesn't move when you fire.
    10
  4306. Not in an airplane.
    10
  4307. Basically correct. It's pre-1986 for machine guns made in the US, and pre-1968 for machine guns imported from outside the US. And they have to have been registered by those years, not just manufactured.
    10
  4308. Took me a while to figure that one out...
    10
  4309. +Kirtahl Here is a detailed look at the practical application of that type of scope that I did: https://www.full30.com/video/5968e95ab5647908f5a6d7ec708ecfa8
    10
  4310. I hope so! When my Patreon funding hits the next goal, I will be able to start traveling internationally.
    10
  4311. No, they are not.
    10
  4312. Eventually I will have a chance to do a shooting video with one of these, be it this particular one or another.
    10
  4313. +Carlos Da Silva Actually, I plan to be doing a video one of those Ross pistols soon.
    10
  4314. No, sorry
    10
  4315. quincy8557 You mean content that is still free? We are quite literally taking away nothing at all; just offering another option.
    10
  4316. It was that or black-dyed DPM :)
    10
  4317. +Robert Hickham Considering that the C96 sights go out to 1000...
    10
  4318. It is easy to catch on stuff - SAS chose the MP5 over the Sterling in part because the side mag would get snagged going through tight spaces.
    10
  4319. Nope.
    10
  4320. https://www.whatpriceglory.com/products/6320-french-army-gandoura-for-saharan-troops/
    10
  4321. Just wait until you see the video; there are two of them in it. :)
    10
  4322. 8x50, I believe.
    10
  4323. Sweden adopted the 1907/12 Schwarzlose, so it would not surprise me to find some of them in Finland.
    10
  4324. +underscores Propaganda lives long.
    10
  4325. Thanks!
    10
  4326. Well, the US military adopted a non-clip-fed rifle right at this time, the Krag.
    10
  4327. darkblood626 I deliberately muted all the audio in this one.
    10
  4328. For one thing, they never had enough 8x33 ammo available...
    10
  4329. Their database (it's called the NFRTR) is already electronic. It's actually a collection of 10+ independent databases in different formats, going back to the original paper files.
    10
  4330. J'ai acheté la bouteille à la distillerie de Voiron. :)
    10
  4331. There are no patent or copyright issues; it's just that the actual market of people willing to pay what a reproduction would cost is vanishingly small.
    10
  4332. I doubt it, the .32 ACP was quite popular at that time and would stay that way for many years after. Now, it might not have been the best cartridge for the Chinese market, at the time...
    10
  4333. The PPSh used a copy of the Suomi drum, but the gun itself is not a copy of the Suomi at all.
    10
  4334. Unfortunately, I don't, The firing pin on this one was frozen up, so it couldn't be fired.
    10
  4335. It locks open when empty.
    10
  4336. We're aiming for 10-12 minutes, but if the subject requires more (like the exploding ammo does) we will go as long as necessary to give it proper coverage.
    10
  4337. Because it's brand new...
    10
  4338. +Dedfaction I have one; it will publish in a few days.
    10
  4339. I like HS; they have been very generous giving me access to their older guns to film and I am legitimately impressed by the continuous improvement in their products. We bought this pistol; it was not supplied by Springfield.
    10
  4340. These are made in Croatia. I don't know what manufacturing facilities Springfield Armory has are in the US, but I can guarantee they are nothing like the HS complex in Karlovac.
    10
  4341. It was fun!
    10
  4342. In practice, no.
    10
  4343. I didn't get to keep any of it.
    10
  4344. Didn't read the description text, did you? :)
    10
  4345. No.
    10
  4346. No, much less. I didn't weigh it, but it was quite light.
    10
  4347. Most were destroyed during the war. Of the surviving ones, some were kept by Finland and most went into Soviet stores, later to be sent to Spain in the 1930s. Those that survived the Spanish Civil War mostly came back to the US via Sam Cummings in the 1950s.
    10
  4348. Not yet.
    10
  4349. +4991Ares I have no idea why it happened. I did the best I could in editing. If it's too terrible for you to handle, then don't bother watching the next 14 videos.
    10
  4350. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=of8okKZg7UA
    10
  4351. +REALhacksDAILY There was no such thing as a reduced sniper load; this is a misconception created by an US Army mistake back in the 40s.
    10
  4352. No.
    10
  4353. I agree, but these were machine guns and there's no way they could have come into the country.
    10
  4354. So far so good; it's still up!
    10
  4355. +TheAmericanGuy Not yet...
    10
  4356. The forward assist, which is assumed to be a button to increase accuracy before taking a shot.
    10
  4357. We cover the whole story of that tattoo next week in a general Q&A :)
    10
  4358. Yup. Akin to the various flag code criteria for how to dispose of worn-out flags properly.
    10
  4359. This was filmed before the pandemic.
    10
  4360. I had a pretty good idea what I was getting into as soon as I laid eyes on the thing... :)
    10
  4361. +Rl Badger Sorry, but I filmed these several weeks ago and I'm not physically there right now.
    10
  4362. Nukle0n It's not simply a matter of deciding to change systems, such a change would literally require reengineering everything in production. You can't just multiply by 25.4 and call it good; tolerances on everything would have to be recalculated to deal with rounding issues and significant figure accuracy. That's a lot of work for a system that from a machining perspective work just fine. The basis of metric dimensions is a particular radio wavelength; does that really have any less of an arbitrary connection to practical life than the length of a dead guy's foot?
    10
  4363. +AussieFanXCIV They got a large collection of military arms, which included most of these Japanese items, plus a whole lot more.
    10
  4364. That's hard to say, since this pistol has been around for 106 year since it was testing, including at least one (if not more) refinishings. So it could be an inherent issue with the design or just the result of age and wear - no way for me to tell.
    10
  4365. No.
    10
  4366. Morné Fouché Those bailouts resulted in a glut of surplus-market Mosins in the 1920s, but that was the end of their effect on the US gun market. The reason we have so many today is the easy import availability from several eastern European countries.
    10
  4367. Aperture; I find them easier to use.
    10
  4368. Nah, no burn, The soot wiped off without leaving any serious marks.
    10
  4369. And yet they share some parts.
    10
  4370. jenomaca1970 Actually, I have a video on the teatfire coming in just a couple days.
    10
  4371. Connoisseur. Aluminum. Liter. Here in America, we will take your words and spell them however we please. :)
    10
  4372. There's really nothing to take apart on a Mosin...
    10
  4373. No, practice antitank rifle grenade.
    10
  4374. They were much more concerned about non-German citizens.
    10
  4375. +maximusprime98 None needed because the ball seals against the rifling from the rear.
    10
  4376. +Jeff Smith The .41 rimfire was a standard cartridge at the time.
    10
  4377. Otto Noizebarriers
    10
  4378. No, but I should.
    10
  4379. Wanted a better camera angle.
    10
  4380. The signs say no visible guns, that's all.
    10
  4381. No, he did not.
    10
  4382. NJPurling Liberators are safe to shoot, just very uncomfortable.
    10
  4383. French rifle knowledge: Good. East coast geography: Not good.
    10
  4384. Everyone is in the overall scores. Divisions exist so you can compare your performance to other people using comparable gear.
    10
  4385. I have not seen enough examples to determine if they restarted serial numbers each year.
    10
  4386. +Xander B (x5parkyx) I have taken apart a FAMAS, but it wasn't on video.
    10
  4387. You're miscounting; there were 10. And you can't leave one in the chamber, because it's an open-bolt gun.
    10
  4388. Andrew B Cleaning rod, I believe.
    10
  4389. Final Cut Pro X.
    10
  4390. Herrdesrings No - when the gun is locked up and ready to use, a set of locking lugs take the stress of firing, not the hinge.
    10
  4391. +Jesse Walters A Ross MkIII.
    10
  4392. It's simple, it precludes any possibility of the slide coming off the back and hitting the shooter, it allows a longer barrel than other types of actions, and it didn't violate any of the (many) existing patents on automatic pistol mechanisms at the time.
    10
  4393. It's the other way around - having the slide go forward creates additional recoil.
    10
  4394. Yes - we actually recently added baseball caps to the merchandise selection. :)
    10
  4395. +rugerron67 Rollin White offered his patent to Colt, and they declined it.
    10
  4396. +1fanger The Dardick is on my list to do when I find a good example.
    10
  4397. +dany729 As it happens, I will be filming a shooting video with on this week. :)
    10
  4398. Bid increments are fixed, so you can't bid random amounts. From 2k to 5k, the increment is $250 and from 5k to 10k it's $500 - so you will only see a couple specific values that get repeated a lot. Then add the 15% buyer's premium, and a $2750 bid becomes $3163.
    10
  4399. Sam Tighe If it's an MG42-based design, why does it have a gas tube?
    10
  4400. Because the tanks were already designed to fit the 34 and its barrel changing mechanism. Wouldn't be worthwhile to redesign the tank turret tooling just to use the 42 instead.
    10
  4401. The Type 99 paratrooper Arisaka system is pretty close; it uses an interrupted thread so it's faster to do though.
    10
  4402. Awesome, glad to hear it!
    10
  4403. The cheekpad and sights are set up only for right-handed shooting.
    10
  4404. Ironically, a bank job is the one crime these have been used in. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9CZO3jFUz4
    10
  4405. If I can find one.
    10
  4406. I look forward to seeing them!
    10
  4407. That used to work in much of Europe, but never did in the US.
    10
  4408. SRA is a Finnish reservist shooting association - "Sovellettu ReserviläisAmmunta". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRA-shooting
    10
  4409. We do have an HD camera; this was older video that I had already shot. If we have another opportunity to do a more detailed video on a Webley-Fosbery with the new gear, we will do so.
    10
  4410. It's on the right sideplate, ahead of the trigger guard. It is also stamped on the inside of the front strap, and the last 3 digits are stamped on most of the major parts internally.
    10
  4411. I would like to, but I've never seen one in person.
    10
  4412. +Robert Thomas Yes, the small parts are straw blued.
    10
  4413. I am working on it...
    10
  4414. Next time, Jonathan, I will just use the proper Boston method of teaming. :D
    10
  4415. 〈--- Literally FAST food This story about the Type 94 gets blown way out of proportion a lot. It would not "fire randomly", nor is a poorly made pistol at all. It does have an exposed transfer bar, and it's not the greatest handgun ever made, but it's also a safe design and definitely not the worst handgun ever made either.
    10
  4416. https://youtu.be/RJQLXk3bEww
    10
  4417. The German Army put grips with big red "9"s on their 9mm C96 pistols, so people could distinguish them from the 7.63mm guns easily. Same thing happened with 30-06 rifles in British service during WWII getting paint stripes.
    10
  4418. Just some people who decided to spend a weekend shooting - no formalities.
    10
  4419. Nick Graham You don't see the projectile in the video, but I can assure you it is there. And as others have pointed out, without a projectile there would not be enough pressure generated to operate the recoil system on the gun.
    10
  4420. It is an NFA-registered Destructive Device.
    10
  4421. "Marky Mark" Markus Gaming/LurkingFan4 Not many. Some semiauto copies of machine guns were made this way, until ATF determined them to be easily convertible into machine guns.
    10
  4422. foobar201 I'll have a full video on the gun later that includes disassembly.
    10
  4423. I have a video on their AK-63D coming this weekend...
    10
  4424. Yes, correct. Easier to just load the ammunition into the empty belts, though.
    10
  4425. Yup, I completely agree - deactivating museum weapons is a really stupid practice that would never be even considered for any other sort of artifact. It runs directly counter to the one overriding mission of a museum, which is to preserve artifacts.
    10
  4426. No, it really was not.
    10
  4427. You may be thinking of the Pedersen self-loading rifle, which required wax-lubricated cartridges. The Johnson didn't have any requirement like that.
    10
  4428. bandholm Expensive to make. It did form the basis of the M60, though.
    10
  4429. +Diceros Bicornis Allows them to run when dirty, or with ammunition lots of different pressure.
    10
  4430. No, it's not.
    10
  4431. They actually are not G36 mags
    10
  4432. The best resource I am aware of is the article Dr. Sturgess wrote about them  for the HBSA (Historical Breechloading Smallarms Assn). It's a copyrighted work so I can't repost it myself, but the Julia auction house has a copy of it posted to go along with this sale. I would strongly advise downloading a copy: http://jamesdjulia.com/wp-content/uploads/images/auctions/369/prov/52412.PDF
    10
  4433. Yes.
    10
  4434. It was an exploding bullet of his design, used to help determine range by making bullet impact visible at a distance.
    10
  4435. Nope.
    10
  4436. xaviercourtney I would love to have an opportunity to do a much more comprehensive video on the Owen...when I did that bit of shooting I didn't appreciate what I had my hands on.
    10
  4437. Nothing they recover from being buried for 100 years will be in any condition to deactivate, much less fire.
    10
  4438. I forgot to mirror the audio to both sides. Sorry.
    10
  4439. ***** Nowhere to be found. Interestingly, there isn't a place to store one on the gun.
    10
  4440. Open bolt is simpler to make than closed, but full auto was not legal on the civilian market in Rhodesia.
    10
  4441. When I find one, yes.
    10
  4442. An MG-15.
    10
  4443. Probably.
    10
  4444. +Gadsden Guy No, the dust cover was added to the Type 35 (and subsequent 38 and 99) after complaints about the Type 30.
    10
  4445. The intermixing of historically significant designers between different historically significant (and insignificant) companies is something I would like to do a video on one of these days...
    10
  4446. This was filmed a while back, well before the pandemic. The printing delays on Chassepot to FAMAS led us to push back release of Jonathan's book.
    10
  4447. +GoredonTheDestroyer It does look like a pen to the untrained eye.
    10
  4448. The reason is that 7.62x39 was a legally restricted caliber, and 8x33 wasn't. So rechambering an AK to 8x33 allowed you to easily own it legally, but still fire 7.62x39 ammo if you wanted to.
    10
  4449. It is possible there were some, but I have not seen any actual evidence of it. The FG-42 was only made in pretty small numbers, and an occupation unit like the ones deployed here probably would not have been a high priority to get them.
    10
  4450. Oh, I'm not done - not by a long shot. :)
    10
  4451. Yes.
    10
  4452. No, thank you!
    10
  4453. +dandhan87 $2250
    10
  4454. Tune in next week to find out! :)
    10
  4455. The taking of military arms and equipment is perfectly justified in war, and is not theft.
    10
  4456. Just fixed it. This one is a 7-shot; the .32 caliber versions held 5.
    10
  4457. That's because I'm tired of reading them and delete them.
    10
  4458. +Brian Reddeman They burn for 8-10 seconds.
    10
  4459. Yes it is - but I don’t have an ETA at this point
    10
  4460. That is the kickstarter exclusive version, done in Warlord Pistol style.
    10
  4461. +Ragnarok Stravius Colt experimented with it, and found that it increased the likelihood of chainfires, by bounding sparks back into the cylinder.
    10
  4462. Did you not like the RIA videos? Or the high speed videos? Forgotten Weapons will continue to deliver that same free content as always; this is an additional project aimed at a different audience.
    10
  4463. Nothing about Forgotten Weapons is changing; InRange is a separate project.
    10
  4464. John Doe That's why we're a better investment than print magazines. :)
    10
  4465. This gun was pulled from the auction.
    10
  4466. Yes.
    10
  4467. I can do that...
    10
  4468. The buffer tube is integrated into the part.
    10
  4469. +Airforce1Gunny Gunlab.net
    10
  4470. bigred2989 It's a C&R gun and also a machine gun. It requires NFA registration and transfer like any other machine gun, but once the tax stamp is issued it can be mailed directly to you if you have a C&R license, instead of having to go through an NFA dealer in your state.
    10
  4471. Holland.
    10
  4472. At least American soldiers have body armor.
    10
  4473. InRange gets a royalty on WWSD-branded products from Brownells.
    10
  4474. This match used to be affiliated with ACTS, but no longer is. I don't know the details; it happened before I started shooting with them.
    10
  4475. We sent the WWSD2020 carbine over at the same time, plus Les' guns for the match, so including the Mosin and TT33 were not much extra cost.
    10
  4476. Not by a long shot. The EM1 and AN-94 are both definitely worse.
    10
  4477. They used a Lebel bayonet modified to have a larger muzzle ring.
    10
  4478. Slightly less interesting that the blurry line where art becomes guns. :)
    10
  4479. +BigBossManBBQ There were no Spencer foragers.
    10
  4480. alraizuli I do know the difference, but I occasionally muff the wording. Sorry.
    10
  4481. The mag doesn't prevent you from shooting prone.
    10
  4482. No, it sold back in October.
    10
  4483. In the middle of the L96 mess, Pylon lost their quality certification and along with it their missile contract.
    10
  4484. Nope, it's not a machine gun.
    10
  4485. No, because even without the stock the overall length exceeds 26 inches (barely).
    10
  4486. Glad you like it!
    10
  4487. +Leah Karrak Nope, with the hook removed you still can't see the sights.
    10
  4488. Same with FN in Belgium, whose original logo was a rifle crossed with a pair of bicycle pedals.
    10
  4489. No, I'm too cheap to pay to attend a shoot. Ammo, sure - paying to watch, not so much.
    10
  4490. That's why I titled is a bonus video - I unfortunately didn't have time to do anything more detailed. I do have a bunch more complete videos from the shoot that will be coming out in the upcoming weeks, though. :)
    10
  4491. I use a tripod and I clear everything repeatedly off camera.
    10
  4492. Obviously you have not seen my CNC work.
    10
  4493. I'm a better soldier than CNC machinist.
    10
  4494. I run three days a week (2-3 miles) and do about 30 minutes of strength training on alternating days.
    10
  4495. Yes.
    10
  4496. Semiautomatic.
    10
  4497. Ammo can be found, but it can take some time.
    10
  4498. +Alex N The only one I am aware of is in Remington's collection, and I have not handled it myself. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/remington-m53/
    10
  4499. Isaac Lewellen They do a "weird wars" match every once in a while, where shooters are encouraged to bring the wackiest stuff they have. When there is another one of those, I'll use an AR and a Glock. ;)
    10
  4500. A lot of the early guns were in no way sleeker than revolvers. The C93 Borchardt and C96 Mauser, for example.
    10
  4501. Yes it is :)
    10
  4502. That round was developed after WWI, and falls well out of the scope of this video.
    10
  4503. We haven't even started on the whole series of India Pattern guns yet! Nor the South African, Australian, or Canadian production... XD
    10
  4504. Pitt Brad It's actually quite a bit different (and better) than a Sten.
    10
  4505. +BinaryHelix As a matter of fact, I just finished editing it today. It will post in a week or two.
    10
  4506. Proper training means you have the mental awareness to do what is best/required in a given situation instead of reverting to fixed habits, whether that be muzzle direction, magazine retention, number of hits on a target, or anything else.
    10
  4507. The M1 Carbine.
    10
  4508. You should go to ForgottenWeapons.com and search for "light rifle". I have a whole bunch of pages on all the entrants.
    10
  4509. Hi! :)
    10
  4510. I published 3 others already, and there is one more yet to come.
    10
  4511. FAMAS magazines are all 25 rounds.
    10
  4512. +PurpleStorm8 The AKM (which is technically what we were using) was introduced in 1959, the same year Colt sold the first military contract of the AR15 (to Malaya).
    10
  4513. Yes.
    10
  4514. all41tja Yes, I do.
    10
  4515. Indeed!
    10
  4516. I have to learn a lot more of the language before there is any point in trying to get into the archives. :)
    10
  4517. You can adjust the exact length of pull, yes.
    10
  4518. Oh, they pretty much expect it of me now. :)
    10
  4519. If the Mauser 98 is one, then the Martini-Henry is too...and that's clearly not what people are trying to describe with the term.
    10
  4520. FYI, I do also use Floatplane, which is completely independent of both Patreon and YouTube.
    10
  4521. That will happen when I go to Greece or when you mail me one, whichever comes first.
    10
  4522. That it the basic infantry symbol for France in WWI.
    10
  4523. My only two complaints are the relative scarcity of lefty thumb safeties on stock pistols and the occasional bullpup rifle. Beyond that, I've got no issues with being left handed. Kinda like it, actually...I think we lefties can run an Enfield faster than a rightie with the same amount of practice.
    10

    10
  4525. +bandholm A side magazine allows you to go prone. The balance really isn't a big deal.
    10
  4526. I would guess there are about 200 still around.
    10
  4527. No, actually they are held very securely.
    10
  4528. https://www.full30.com/video/2d4d78397e6c8c9b83933a9cf01fe513
    10
  4529. St al You mean like .30-06 today? :)
    10
  4530. +Millwater Publishing No, it was not. US only.
    10
  4531. +Tim Lowry Thanks! :)
    10
  4532. +Patrik Howgate No kidding!
    10
  4533. Tragic vegetable slicing incident.
    10
  4534. Indeed. All the education-oriented channels are really suffering.
    10
  4535. Yeah, I accidentally scheduled the wrong version to publish. Whoops!
    10
  4536. Yep, we will get to those.
    10
  4537. No.
    10
  4538. Yes, but not until the signature edition is sold out.
    10
  4539. Yes, part of the museum theme. The building housing the indoor exhibits is heavily damaged, and was stabilized for the museum but not restored.
    10
  4540. It will be back, on the day it was supposed to publish in the first place.
    10
  4541. It is probably 7.63mm Mauser, but possible 9mm Luger.
    10
  4542. +kodiakcopilot They built .32 Webleys under license.
    10
  4543. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/headstamp/rifles-on-the-danube?ref=64v2l6 Today is your last chance to join the preorder for Rifles on the Danube!
    10
  4544. Please feel free to enlighten us if you know better... :)
    10
  4545. It was requested by the Army.
    10
  4546. ***** The notion, and there is good evidence to support it, is that a near miss with a single projectile is much more likely to be a hit with one of several projectiles.
    10
  4547. Nope, although they do now pay me to come do these video series prior to their auctions (flat rate; not tied to what price the specific items bring). If you have any doubts about my non-employment there, just wait about a week and you'll see a series of similar videos I just finished filming at the James D Julia auction house (RIA's biggest competitor). :)
    10
  4548. No, it is centered.
    10
  4549. It is going to be shipped rolled - that was an image of the original patent art, which got folded at some point in the last two centuries.
    10
  4550. The system didn’t exist. There was never a rifle that could interchange those scopes - in face the US didn’t have any interchangeable scopes on anything.
    10
  4551. No, it's an occasional weekend place now.
    10
  4552. The rules specifically exempt movies and video games
    10
  4553. One of my favorite bands.
    10
  4554. Some people didn't want to be in the video and some did.
    10
  4555. There are lots of magazines like that - Glock, for instance.
    10
  4556. No we landed alongside deliberately. I think the airport only allows powered craft to land on the runway, and landing next to it is a loophole. :)
    10
  4557. I didn't want to have all of you guys bidding against me on it. If I'd won it, I would have done a video with shooting at home.
    10
  4558. Actually, it wasn't all that heavy. I would guess around 8 pounds, maybe 9 (unloaded). I think the worst of the fouling would be in the chamber area, so firing a full load of rounds would probably not be a problem.
    10
  4559. +willy hearrell Yup, definitely. We'll show some brass shells, too.
    10
  4560. In the video, I explain exactly who needs that kind of firepower.
    10
  4561. Read the description.
    10
  4562. There are a lot more StG parts floating around that you would expect. Although as far as ATF is concerned, it wouldn't matter if there were none at all - a new semiauto still must be made incompatible with original parts that would convert it to full auto.
    10
  4563. No, it is live.
    9
  4564. Yes, it is.
    9
  4565. jdizzy01 Yes, it's in 8mm - a standard M1915 CSRG. I'm really looking forward to shooting it too!
    9
  4566. Maybe some day, but I still have a lot to learn before I would be ready to design something of my own.
    9
  4567. The GM guide lamps division was the primary manufacturer of M3 subguns, so it would make sense that a cutaway would have come from them. Haven't actually seen one myself, though.
    9
  4568. Quiet, you! This press conference is over.
    9
  4569. We have a proper European shipping option for preorders this time - much cheaper than previously!
    9
  4570. Yes, both.
    9
  4571. Email me at admin@forgottenweapons.com and I can discuss options with you.
    9
  4572. I have a 1915, a 1926, and a reproduction 1915.
    9
  4573. Are you only hearing sound on one side? I checked that, and didn't have a problem here...
    9
  4574. It rotates, and has a series of large threads at the front that act as locking lugs (you can see them at 6:20 in the video).
    9
  4575. My understanding is that the .45 version will be released in December.
    9
  4576. Not really much point to a .223 pistol, is there? You'd have to put the mag in front of the grip, because of the cartridge length...
    9
  4577. +Jonathan Rogers i don't think those cartridges are the specific ones the gun was designed for (think .38 Special vs .357 Magnum).
    9
  4578. +J0nnyB Just rare.
    9
  4579. Yes, of course it was in a case. Which went through several airports worth of baggage handlers.
    9
  4580. themastermason1 No, far from it.
    9
  4581. I would rather have the M3.
    9
  4582. French CCE.
    9
  4583. The bayonet lug and adjustable rear sight were added during WWII, before the M2 was adopted.
    9
  4584. +Ahmad Hamad In battery means the bolt is closed and fully locked, and thus safe to fire. When a gun fires out of battery, the bolt opens much too early and the pressure blows through the brass case at the rear, potentially damaging the gun and/or injuring the shooter.
    9
  4585. Sorry, but no - I filmed this a while back.
    9
  4586. They appealed to my sense of fairness. The internet too often takes a totally binary view of things, and reacts inappropriately. This company does not deserve to go out of business.
    9
  4587. Patreon supporters have access to videos early, before they are posted publicly.
    9
  4588. +ShockAndAwe417 Yep
    9
  4589. That requires a laser in your watch.
    9
  4590. Lol. :) You can be assured that if we did go to Somalia, we'd also come back with info on the 7.62x39 rifle that Gordon Ingram designed for their army a few decades ago.
    9
  4591. Because reducing case size would increase chamber pressure proportionally, and require significantly stronger (and thus heavier) actions.
    9
  4592. There are two things that keep Forgotten Weapons going during extended filming sessions: Patreon and diet Mtn Dew.
    9
  4593. Yes, but not in this series.
    9
  4594. +justcarcrazy Just semi auto.
    9
  4595. +Anton Kubala No, because the US was already mass producing .45 for the military, but not 9mm.
    9
  4596. Definitely.
    9
  4597. I haven't done any shooting with a Spencer (yet), but from looking at the action that wouldn't surprise me.
    9
  4598. That is definitely incorrect.
    9
  4599. SODEMO2007 As soon as I can get my hands on one, yes.
    9
  4600. grazzitdvram That incident is the engagement at High Wood, where Vickers guns were used for area denial, and the crew able to put the most rounds downrange was given an award.
    9
  4601. Rafael Gonzales Thanks!
    9
  4602. I did a semiauto handmade one.
    9
  4603. Galvars A bit, not too much. What I have comes from "FN Browning Pistols" by Anthony Vnderlinden.
    9
  4604. Mostly just in the comments sections.
    9
  4605. e-Legal Canadian  It's not quite that goofy - balancing the weight of the recoiling components with the recoil spring strength and bullet weight/velocity is an important element of ensuring that the pistol runs properly.
    9
  4606. YouTube's new rules about "instructive modification"
    9
  4607. +CrescentGuard No. As cool as it is, I think shotguns in general will always have a tough time finding general military acceptance.
    9
  4608. John is an employee of the Morphy Auction Company. His job is facilitating sales of machine guns. He does not work for ATF.
    9
  4609. A bubble level.
    9
  4610. +Floris Hubregtse (thatdutchguy) Sure - the Remington XP-100 is a good example of that.
    9
  4611. That was done by Mauser themselves in the factory. This was an experimental pistol, and it was modified a couple times to test different methods of operation.
    9
  4612. Plenty of American soldiers on the receiving end of these would disagree. shrug
    9
  4613. Because they didn't know about it. ;)
    9
  4614. Three.
    9
  4615. Thanks!
    9
  4616. I'm only considering versions actually put into military use.
    9
  4617. Because it's way less painful than shooting it prone.
    9
  4618. The magazine well is too tight for that to work.
    9
  4619. Clayton Aspden Unfortunately, original stocks and their metal hardware are almost impossible to find.
    9
  4620. Ross rifles were made in both .303 and .280; the military ones were all in .303.
    9
  4621. No. Last year it was too dry for them to be safe, and we don’t know what conditions will be yet. So we are saying no to be safe.
    9
  4622. No.
    9
  4623. 7.5 Swiss
    9
  4624. That video is on Thursday - or today on Full30.com, if you don't want to wait.
    9
  4625. Subsonic .300 Blackout is a 190-220 grain bullet at ~1000 fps. Not exactly .22LR.
    9
  4626. It strategically avoids showcasing anything that would actually show the technical capacity to construct a firearm component, actually. Even more clever!
    9
  4627. It means death in Latin, not Polish
    9
  4628. And this isn't the last of them...
    9
  4629. Can you please email me directly at ian@headstamppublishing.com? We will get it sorted.
    9
  4630. You are welcome to not watch it if you find the gun too pedestrian. :) I had the chance to film it, and figured it would be interesting for folks to see (actually, this was taken during a trip for InRange TV - that program often puts me in a position to also get cool material for Forgotten Weapons). One other thing I will point out is that the YouTube channel is really just a sidebar of my web site, ForgottenWeapons.com . The really weird guns are very difficult to put hands on, and moreso to shoot, so they are more likely to be covered in text and photos on the site rather than video here.

  4631. The USW match video is coming on Saturday.
    9
  4632. Too small. Tennis balls would work well, though.
    9
  4633. You should address that concern to the German government in the early 50s, because that's who made this particular policy.
    9
  4634. That would have been awkward, considering both she and I are in happy and stable relationships with other people.
    9
  4635. Yep.
    9
  4636. +NEXXUS NEXXUS http://www.forgottenweapons.com/how-to-become-a-professional-gun-nerd/
    9
  4637. No.
    9
  4638. Sure - the Desert Eagle is a gas operated rotating bolt design.
    9
  4639. That was the importer.
    9
  4640. It is. :)
    9
  4641. No, standard 20x138.
    9
  4642. While a carbine is literally a "short rifle", many countries has intermediate lengths in between rifles and carbines. These were sometimes designated short rifles.
    9
  4643. You are welcome to join Patreon for $1 and get the ad-free videos
    9
  4644. Anything is possible, but almost certainly not.
    9
  4645. The still have the sign, but they no longer sell guns. :(
    9
  4646. It's just surface rust.
    9
  4647. +Diktator Alexander Outside the scope of this channel. :)
    9
  4648. Broken extractor, IIRC
    9
  4649. Yes, same thing.
    9
  4650. Only amongst people who talk a lot a shoot very little. It is a very small number of people who can shoot 4MOA offhand.
    9
  4651. Sorry, I goofed the editing and that part was left out. The muzzle device just unscrews off the barrel once you press in a locking plunger (like on an AK).
    9
  4652. It was not a major military power at all.
    9
  4653. Hisoka2012 I've been making much more use of a wireless lavalier microphone.
    9
  4654. Yes, in the grip.
    9
  4655. Yes, tomorrow.
    9
  4656. No, there wouldn't be.
    9
  4657. Yes, exactly.
    9
  4658. That is done by the consignors, when it is done. Neither RIA nor myself do it for these videos.
    9
  4659. He was not - Benjamin Hotchkiss died in 1885.
    9
  4660. When the Reising was adopted, the M1 Carbine did not exist.
    9
  4661. That is true, the exchange rate is really good right now
    9
  4662. I think there are a lot more of the rifles in the US than in France...but yeah, they should have publicized this more in France for sure!
    9
  4663. Next week we switch to the Bren...
    9
  4664. +CJ Hyde I suspect it because the Swiss had enough money (and a small military) to be able to afford cutting-edge firearms, so they did more testing than most.
    9
  4665. That's basically what the M60 is...
    9
  4666. That sort of cartridge erodes the bore very quickly, and has an unacceptably short barrel lifespan.
    9
  4667. That is an inaccurate simplification.
    9
  4668. Sort of - the problem with the Luger is more likely to manifest when someone accidentally fires it with the slide removed.
    9
  4669. GetTheFO Not really similar at all, David. And GetTheFO, while the new Remington R51 was a bust, the original Model 51 was an excellent gun.
    9
  4670. No, not yet. Sorry!
    9
  4671. Yes, I have no doubt it leaks gas.
    9
  4672. Yes, the line of the sights is parallel to the bore.
    9
  4673. The reason they went with 9mm, I expect, is because there is very little market interest in .45 caliber PCCs these days.
    9
  4674. Nobody has one; none exist.
    9
  4675. +Primarch359 This gun is being sold with a spare parts kit as well (a small number of those came into the US a few years ago), and the maxwell came from that kit.
    9
  4676. +Enruler Better than all of them. :)
    9
  4677. +robofish759 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goF255Qc3Ew
    9
  4678. We think the anti-bounce heavier bolt carrier will be useful in semiauto, and will be doing some additional testing of it on our own. Video will follow!
    9
  4679. +SNOUPS4 Yukyukyuk. :)
    9
  4680. +chrisloUSA FN experimented with a belt-fed BAR, but it never went into production. The M240 is really the belt-fed descendent of the BAR.
    9
  4681. +RyNsWoRLD There is no barrel or chamber on the rear half of the gun, so no.
    9
  4682. I was saving my brass.
    9
  4683. http://www.navy.mil/navydata/organization/org-over.asp
    9
  4684. My plan is to cover pistols, rifles, SMGs, and LMGs. Everything made or mechanically altered in Finland.
    9
  4685. Well, there are French-made Finnish Mosins...
    9
  4686. That's a stacking rod, allowing you to stand 3 rifles together so they don't have to lie on the ground.
    9
  4687. I have a copy, but it's a tricky one to review since I can't read it.
    9
  4688. 10"
    9
  4689. There is actually a quite good possibility, but it will probably be another year before it can happen.
    9
  4690. +cosmichemistry How? It sounds fine to me...
    9
  4691. Yep, the first prototype of the M60 (called the T44) was really just a 2nd model FG42 with an MG42 top cover assembly slapped on the side. It fed from the bottom and ejected shells and the empty belt right out the top of the gun.
    9
  4692. That's a much cruder method, only used on cannons that didn't have windage-adjustable sights.
    9
  4693. Well, technically speaking, it was. :) But yeah, you should have bought it!
    9
  4694. The man knows what he is talking about.
    9
  4695. No.
    9
  4696. It's an Imbel receiver with a South African carbine barrel and a British Trilux optic.
    9
  4697. +David M. Nope.
    9
  4698. These prices include the buyer's fee (20% for Morphys).
    9
  4699. perciusmandate I'm not saying the AR is better than the Tavor. I'm saying that the margin of difference for a military user is so small as to be insignificant. The AR is not as maintenance-intensive as you think it is, and the Tavor isn't as glorious as you think it is.
    9
  4700. The tube-fed military rifles disappeared pretty quickly, because they didn't work well with pointed bullets. The Lebel had some features to minimize that problem, but the others (this rifle, the Steyr Kropatschek, Winchester-Hotchkiss, etc) were pretty much abandoned when armies adopted smallbore spitzer ammo.
    9
  4701. YouTube just randomly turns them off sometimes
    9
  4702. No, not mine. But the owner does appreciate them as much as I do.
    9
  4703. That came form C&Rsenal.
    9
  4704. They made it harder at long range, but help up close, like a good express sight.
    9
  4705. To use clips, yes. To just load rounds one by one, no.
    9
  4706. Nope, not yet anyway.
    9
  4707. Over the next 6 months or so.
    9
  4708. This was filmed before the pandemic.
    9
  4709. The basic notion of time passing.
    9
  4710. I did one while I was at Rock Island; it will post Sunday afternoon.
    9
  4711. Yes, it is.
    9
  4712. For me to shoot one, you would have to wait until tomorrow's video publishes. ;)
    9
  4713. Thanks! Glad to help. :)
    9
  4714. Thank you!
    9
  4715. Definitely.
    9
  4716. Technically, I think this would be an imitation of the Savior, but not the Lord.
    9
  4717. Try here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ForgottenWeapons/comments/ngi9ih/pistols_of_the_warlords_international_bulk_pledge/
    9
  4718. +Andrew Smith Yeah, quite a lot. I'm actually in Maine right now, starting a filming series at the James Julia auction house.
    9
  4719. +Josh Marcum The MG34 and MG42 were the guns Germany chose to replace their water-cooled MG08 Maxims.
    9
  4720. Tommy I'm sure they do sometimes, but museums typically have minimal budgets for acquisitions.
    9
  4721. The same two lines I read at the very beginning.
    9
  4722. No, Colt's main patent was the connection between hammer and cylinder.
    9
  4723. Yes and yes.
    9
  4724. The HS Produkt boys gave me access to the VHS-1 service rifle and the prototypes.
    9
  4725. Airflow for cooling.
    9
  4726. I've never had an MRI, but I will definitely mention this if I'm ever in the situation to.
    9
  4727. I hope so - it was a very fun one to make. :)
    9
  4728. Crushed badly enough to require surgical amputation, on two people that I know of.
    9
  4729. The corollary to this is that it can be okay to buy cheap when your life isn't on the line.
    9
  4730. Whoever designs a cartridge gets to name it - so people in metric-using countries tend to use millimeters and people in Imperial-using countries tend to use fractions of an inch. Cartridges popular in both tend to wind up with two common names, such as .32ACP/7.65mm Browning.
    9
  4731. American and European markets are often wildly different because of both supply (import restrictions) and demand (licensing/registration restrictions).
    9
  4732. It's an upcoming stretch goal... ;)
    9
  4733. Nope. Sorry.
    9
  4734. Yes, Pietta makes repros of both the SA and DA version. Retail price is about $550 for either one.
    9
  4735. LOKIS333 That's a shot timer - it is used to track a competitor's time by listening to gunshots.
    9
  4736. Just to make it harder, to reduce the number of elk taken in that area. Other areas and seasons allow normal rifles.
    9
  4737. We absolutely took the backstraps and tenderloins! :)
    9
  4738. Yes, it's meant to be reloaded with stripper clips - extra magazines weren't issued with the rifles.
    9
  4739. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qSrvM8e-ry8/hqdefault.jpg
    9
  4740. The idea that the US military adopted the M16 to wound instead of kill is pure myth.
    9
  4741. Opinion of the Secretary of the Treasury.
    9
  4742. Yes, I would like to.
    9
  4743. +Ronacria Just trying to get you in the proper 1920s mindset. :)
    9
  4744. Not quite - I found a 1917. It will do for now.
    9
  4745. You need something to support the recoil booster at the muzzle.
    9
  4746. Both. And Spanish. Probably others too.
    9
  4747. That actually was a live round; I just didn't get a shot of it being loaded. The case you saw was an empty, from after one of the shots.
    9
  4748. Nick Graham I watched them load the shell. There was a nice big projectile sticking out of it. The clip of the case standing on the gun came from after one of the shots, not during the loading process.
    9
  4749. ***** Explosive projectiles must be NFA registered as destructive devices if they contain 1/4oz or more of HE. For plain solid/inert projectiles (like the ones fired here), there are no special regulations.
    9
  4750. It does have a high bore axis, and the recoil spring may be a bit worn out as well.
    9
  4751. My mother made it for me.
    9
  4752. This was a one-off reproduction, and isn't in production by anyone. GunLab may make them eventually, though.
    9
  4753. The Ero video is coming. :)
    9
  4754. I have a very good time. :)
    9
  4755. The sales contracts are linked in the description text. As I understand it, no IP for the mold tool was ever in question, because no CAD file for the mold exists, and it did not exist in 2011 when the mold was sold to GWACS.
    9
  4756. There was not one that I am aware of. The effective competitor was the G43...
    9
  4757. +Selinica Harbinger It's a custom system. The owner is a highly noted ballistics and forensics expert, and he uses it to track things like change in velocity of a bullet after going through something, and whether bullets are tumbling in flight, etc. Very cool system!
    9
  4758. +First Last Boar, elk, kudu, and water buffalo are both highly sustainable and in no way rare apex animals.
    9
  4759. A worm screw, like you suspected.
    9
  4760. +LittleMikey Bore and gauge are the number of bore-diameter lead balls required to make a pound of lead. Not exactly an obvious measurement method. So a 12ga shotgun have a bore diameter equal to a lead ball weighing 1/12 th of a pound.
    9
  4761. John Wick 6 will should be a prequel about Wick's grandfather... ;)
    9
  4762. +rox2u Oh, I'm still posting video, just not from RIA.
    9
  4763. The AUG even has a polymer fire control group...
    9
  4764. For units of many men firing in volley at massed targets.
    9
  4765. titaniumdiveknife If you look at my Julia video on the 1904 Webley, you'll see me take apart a gun that ended up selling for $95,000. :)
    9
  4766. YouthFreedomFighters Ammunition is nearly as rare as the guns...so probably not any time soon.
    9
  4767. Meaning that it is a round not used by any other previous firearm.
    9
  4768. Most of my content came before the game, and DICE used it as a resource.
    9
  4769. It's a European gun that has to stay in Europe.
    9
  4770. Yup, that was from this gun.
    9
  4771. Probably.
    9
  4772. That was the lanyard ring on the butt of the grip.
    9
  4773. Probably not a video one for a while, because I don't have access to a Mars. However, I recently did an article on them on the blog which has a lot of information as well as patents and an original manual.
    9
  4774. It’s 1 MOA center to center, not edge to edge
    9
  4775. Probably.
    9
  4776. Yes, I will.
    9
  4777. That's convenient. :)
    9
  4778. IMadeChuckNorris More likely it would have been an Astra - there were a lot more Astras floating around on both sides than these copies.
    9
  4779. Yes, when I am able to get one for shooting.
    9
  4780. Leaving the handgun there is required by the stage description. For safety reasons, we don't reholster hot guns in 2-Gun.
    9
  4781. +bigpuzino Thanks!
    9
  4782. That is the Chatallerault M24/29. When I am able to get my hands on one, I will definitely do a video on it.
    9
  4783. Yes.
    9
  4784. https://www.youtube.com/c/inrangetvshow
    9
  4785. It is indefinitely delayed on account of war and embargoes.
    9
  4786. There was a later variant made in 9x19, but most were in .32.
    9
  4787. .32 ACP is very widely available.
    9
  4788. All the targets in the shoot house were paper. Steel at that range would definitely be very dangerous.
    9
  4789. GunOwnerDan Yup, what he said.
    9
  4790. I do not, unfortunately.
    9
  4791. Several Commonwealth nations used the old model SMLE throughout WWII, even though the No4 had been developed.
    9
  4792. The plan is to have standalone volumes on the UK, Germany, Italy, and Japan. Then one last one combining several countries that were occupied by Germany (or otherwise stayed mostly out of the war) and didn't do significant arms development during the war - Poland, Czechoslovakia, France, Belgium, Denmark, etc.
    9
  4793. No.
    9
  4794. If you are willing to contribute to a Patreon setup, what's the difference? This way you get the show up front, without having to wait for it to be funded.
    9
  4795. The additional cost of the extras is balanced by discounts for printing a larger run of books - we took all this into account when planning the stretch goals.
    9
  4796. Actually, Fiocchi still makes it new and you can pick it up from places like Midway..
    9
  4797. If you check on GunBroker, you'll see them for $1250-$2000. The stripper clips are pretty rare, and bring probably a couple hundred bucks alone.
    9
  4798. Anything? That's quite the tough choice...without taking too much time to consider, I would say either an 1884 Maxim or Mordecai Anielewicz' personal sidearm.
    9
  4799. Yep, it's a dust cover.
    9
  4800. +kekszmorzsa If it were more lefty-friendly, I would be very tempted. :)
    9
  4801. It's not really a subject for Forgotten Weapons - but even if it was, and not too politically charged, I can't do it because YouTube is issuing "community guidelines" strikes against channels that have bumprfire stock videos right now.
    9
  4802. YouTube demonetizes (theoretically) any video that shows a 30 round magazine.
    9
  4803. It's the M249 SAW...
    9
  4804. Well, you can direct your complains to the Indian government. They weren't concerned, because they had an SMLE factory to make more if they ever wanted them. :)
    9
  4805. No, I don't. Typically if an item is removed, it is removed before the consignor has any idea I did a video on it.
    9
  4806. Yep, it is. I get to play with guns that would be hard to find elsewhere, you guys get to see them on video, and RIA gets publicity and exposure for their auctions - it's win/win/win.
    9
  4807. I actually just got the shipping notification today - we had some problems with the cover production that required revisions. But it is supposed to arrive at our warehouse in mid November, and we will immediately start shipping them out to folks.
    9
  4808. I would like to do a more detailed video, but will need to get my hands on an example of the gun first.
    9
  4809. Hungary in the 50s, IIRC.
    9
  4810. Yes, I do. Its the 1855.
    9
  4811. Yep. Can't want to see who goes home with the Radom factory from yesterday's video!
    9
  4812. We had 7 orders from Spain.
    9
  4813. They seem to be sending pretty much everything that isn't nailed down.
    9
  4814. Working on it...
    9
  4815. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2ZhEaNzcXY
    9
  4816. Yup, that's what the BSA logo is; stacked rifles.
    9
  4817. It's debatable which one will suffer worse. :)
    9
  4818. No, it's real.
    9
  4819. Yeah, the running (2022 Recon Division) was awful. The e-tools are not personal carried gear - but if you did carry one I'm sure you would have been allowed to use it instead of the provided ones.
    9
  4820. https://youtu.be/gJp7a_muHs0
    9
  4821. +skintrade My assumption is that it's because it allows for a big, easy-gripping handle without adding a lot of weight, and won't get particularly hot or cold and won't potentially cut the user.
    9
  4822. If/when I am able to take on the projects, yes.
    9
  4823. Congrats! Isn't it a great shop? Better than almost any gun store I've been to here in the US. Is your Israeli Mauser an FN-made one or wartime German production?
    9
  4824. It actually had a bunch, though not really well developed (for pretty obvious reasons)
    9
  4825. Do you mean like this morning's video on the incredibly rare DS-39 machine gun?
    9
  4826. Alas, these are beyond my budget.
    9
  4827. +11Kralle Someone already had that domain name when I started.
    9
  4828. The barrel gets very hot very fast.
    9
  4829. Wait until I get to the Winchester 94 then! :)
    9
  4830. I think the biggest reason it wasn't adopted or considered by the Brits in WWII is the cost. The mechanism is pretty intricate, and a lot more expensive than making more Enfield bolt actions. It seemed a bit more fragile than an M1 or SVT, but was very nice to shoot. I would be more confident in it as a combat rifle if I could run a few hundred rounds through it, but that isn't something I can do to a collectible like this.
    9
  4831. Actually, Nambu triggers are very good.
    9
  4832. Dalton Anderson The M76 is mechanically identical to the AK, just scaled up in size (and with an adjustable gas regulator). The SVD is actually a different mechanism (a short-stroke gas piston). I do have access to an authentic SVD (well, a Chinese NDM-86, but close enough) and will be doing a video on it.
    9
  4833. If you would like to cancel your order, please email us at info@headstamppublishing.com with your order number and we will be happy to refund you.
    9
  4834. Not yet...
    9
  4835. Yes.
    9
  4836. "Gewehr & Karabiner 98" by Storz & Dieter would be my first recommendation.
    9
  4837. Maybe....
    9
  4838. No, the Army had Springfields and Enfields at this point and wasn't interested. The 1895 was made in .30-06, though, and did not use stripper clips.
    9
  4839. This is a bit of an oversimlification - several earlier and smaller rounds existed, like the 5mm Bergmann and 5mm Clement, which were both centerfire. Later, Franz Pfannl would develop a couple centerfire rounds that are substantially smaller than .25 ACP (the 2mm, 3mm, and 4.25mm Kolibri). The .25ACP is about as small as you could get and still use the modern standard small pistol primer, though.
    9
  4840. I would disagree that vulgarity is incompatible with respectful and intelligent dialogue.
    9
  4841. FWIW, the one in this video is on GunBroker right now, if you're interested... :)
    9
  4842. It was a real thing, and I actually did get it.
    9
  4843. DIG THE FOXHOLE!
    9
  4844. I know - that was the best filming spot I could get
    9
  4845. Yeah, I don't think these would have worked for very long.
    9
  4846. Actually, the Madsen doesn't have any developmental link to the Bren, they both just happen to have top-mounted magazines.
    9
  4847. Federal government general fund.
    9
  4848. Nothing different than before. A C&R NFA item has to get a tax stamp, but it can ship from out of state directly to a C&R licensee once the stamp clears.
    9
  4849. Actually, a friend of ours shot this match at the same time with an iron-sighted m/41 (he doesn't have a scope for it yet) and a Lahti pistol. He beat both Karl and I.
    9
  4850. Otte Gear, but I believe they are sold out.
    9
  4851. Sorry, but I left a couple weeks ago.
    9
  4852. They can't because Dutch pronunciation is not actually physically possible.
    9
  4853. I should have said trans-continental, not international.
    9
  4854. Congrats! It's a very small club. :) I do have the offset rail, but no laser for it (yet?).
    9
  4855. Michael King Other than the lack of the very distinctive zigzag cuts, sure. :)

  4856. No. Use Glisenti ammo.
    9
  4857. Yep, they are still on the market (although there's a waiting list). Price is $5000.
    9
  4858. It's on both channels, because I figure there are folks watching both who would be interested in attending.
    9
  4859. For most of this trip, the War Historian cameraman did my filming with his rig.
    9
  4860. All of Lee's patents were long since expired by 1929...
    9
  4861. Gatling patented an electric version in 1890, but it did not have a separate motor. Instead, the rear housing of the gun was extended and an electric motor wound directly around the main shaft of the mechanism.
    9
  4862. No, it is exempt from the NFA.
    9
  4863. Exactly - it was considered secret back during the war, and simply never got de-classified.
    9
  4864. ToastyMozart Yes, black powder does sound different than smokeless. Quieter, too.
    9
  4865. I fixed a volume issue in the intro segment.
    9
  4866. Bluing on a gun that is regularly used will not survive 150+ years.
    9
  4867. Next time I will put a potato in my mouth before pronouncing it. Apparently that's the easiest way to get Danish right. ;)
    9
  4868. The search function is your friend... :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7GYLI00m3Y
    9
  4869. Extremely rare.
    9
  4870. I'll explain that next week...
    9
  4871. I will cover that next week...
    9
  4872. Here you go - I did great in this one: https://youtu.be/jqQEB_vFCjk
    9
  4873. The RPD and RPK use 39mm, the DP, DPM, SG43, PK, and PKM use 54mm.
    9
  4874. They're going to see how the new technology actually works out for the combatants and report back home.
    9
  4875. I already left RIA, and did not do that one.
    9
  4876. It's expensive, but we are happy to do it. International shipping options are in the Kickstarter.
    9
  4877. +thoffman79 Thank you!
    9
  4878. It will run normal modern .32ACP just fine. Don't recall the mag capacity offhand, either 7 or 8.
    9
  4879. I think this is a perfect time to present rational, factual, and nonpartisan information on something that is of relevance at the moment to a lot of people.
    9
  4880. I think this is a perfect time to present rational, factual, and nonpartisan information on something that is of relevance at the moment to a lot of people.
    9
  4881. No.
    9
  4882. +TrueTreeRadio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj-y7Jrr-JA
    9
  4883. I made a few small but important corrections to dating and nomenclature.
    9
  4884. Yep.
    9
  4885. The Beretta submachine guns were excellent, and the Carcano rifles, Breda 38 Megs, and Beretta pistols were quite good.
    9
  4886. Much better, simply because a zeroed red dot would have been far easier to make hits at long range with.
    9
  4887. Not in the series. If/when I get my hands on an example, I will do a video.
    9
  4888. Yes...but more specifically like a big LS without any change to the transmission or the rest of the drivetrain.
    9
  4889. chrisloUSA The weight does certainly help control recoil, but that's of limited usefulness when you can't hold the gun steady on target because of its weight. :) My blog is at www.forgottenweapons.com
    9
  4890. It will post in about a week.
    9
  4891. Yep, spent my own $13 to get it.
    9
  4892. Otto Noizebarriers.
    9
  4893. I have not.
    9
  4894. Definitely the best one is "Sturmgewehr!" by Hans-Dieter Handrich, published by Collector Grade. Get the second (expanded) edition.
    9
  4895. Unfortunately, it's missing from this one.
    9
  4896. Thanks - I didn't have a copy of your book with me when I had access to the rifle, alas.
    9
  4897. In England yes, in New Hampshire and Connecticut, no.
    9
  4898. +Frank Dantuono What else is on it? :)
    9
  4899. Not yet.
    9
  4900. That video is coming in a while.
    9
  4901. No, they would not have.
    9
  4902. This or the L85A1, yes.
    9
  4903. Just haven't gotten to them yet...
    9
  4904. Just decided that since I'm building a reputation, I should make sure it's associated with my full name.
    9
  4905. You see nothing. :)
    9
  4906. Revolvers are also unacceptable then, I presume?
    9
  4907. Matthew Fauria Yup, I will be posting the full video here on the 11th (and on the 10th at Full30.com).
    9
  4908. +Ironstorm The assistant gunner's job is to reload while the gunner fires.
    9
  4909. +John Smith This is an auction house, not the US military arsenal.
    9
  4910. If I had won it, I would have done a video at home that included shooting.
    9
  4911. Unregistered machine guns cannot be owned legally, unless you are a government entity. An 07 or SOT (whether individual or corporation) cannot own them. Learn the law before you insult people.
    9
  4912. Yes and no. So yes, it is, but it's really the same as the HK91 action but with more infrastructure around it. Dedicated machine gun implementations of the system (MG42V/MG45, SIG 710) didn't take off.
    9
  4913. The Nambu LMGs look like the Bren, but function differently. I do have one sourced that I plan to use for a compare-and-contrast with a Bren at some point.
    9
  4914. I've seen the videos that prompted you to ask. The Bren and MG 34 and MG42 were all excellent guns, although intended for different uses. The Bren is not "too" accurate. The MG34 and MG42 are both quite accurate. Therein lies the primary misconception.
    9
  4915. +Danny N I've had it about this long for 10 or 12 years now...can't recall how long it took to grow out. I get it trimmed once or twice a year to keep it from getting too long.
    9
  4916. Two. I had the first edition, and got the revised one when I found a copy of it.
    9
  4917. Yeah, the site appears to be down at the moment.
    9
  4918. +Larry Fontenot No, the handle doesn't reciprocate.
    9
  4919. The ejection was disabled to keep the brass in good shape - I should have mentioned that in the video. In normal service they do automatically eject the empty cases.
    9
  4920. By being awesome. Would you suggest I delete the video?
    9
  4921. Thanks!
    9
  4922. Um, Romania never made or used the Makarov. If I was in fear for my life or something I would record a video and then just not publish it when I got home...
    9
  4923. Thanks, Fedora. Why they don't import more, I'm not sure. Could be a permitting issue, or something else entirely. My understanding is that mags made new for the PTR often don't work well when loaded more than about halfway, but they are dimensionally identical to original mags - so if you get one of these rifles I would focus on find some spare originals. The rifles were available from Recon Ordnance, but are sold out. I don't know what they charged for the new mags.
    9
  4924. It’s a private match. If I don’t want to follow their rules, I am free to not attend.
    9
  4925. Everyone thought it was cool when we forced shooters to wear gas masks at Finnish Brutality...
    9
  4926. +Shell Cracker 6.5mm Japanese
    8
  4927. jsm666 Could've also been to avoid Browning's plain blowback patent.
    8
  4928. They are .55 Boys cartridges.
    8
  4929. The small arms encyclopedia at B&N also doesn't actually have any real information in it that you can't just get on Wikipedia. Books that are written as original research, like this one, cost a lot because they will not sell many copies and the author put in a ton of time and effort creating them (and even being expensive, these are usually labors of love rather than profitable endeavors). For most folks, the B&N coffee-table books are fine, because they have nice pictures of recognizable guns. But for the more serious devotee of the less well known arms, they have nothing to offer.
    8
  4930. No, it's not indexed. There is a feed ramp cut around the entire circumference of the chamber.
    8
  4931. Probably not.
    8
  4932. Thanks!
    8
  4933. +Captian Nemo Yep!
    8
  4934. I paid less than half that for the one in this video.
    8
  4935. Yes, although typically they are much closer to standard Mauser rifles just with poor quality and weird markings. Not so much the unique designs like the pistols.
    8
  4936. Yup! That was the Walther LP-53, and it's in the book.
    8
  4937. razz339 Yeah, I sure do!
    8
  4938. Yeah, the reference to the 1903 was a slip of the tongue on my part. It was actually a trapdoor Springfield that it was tested against.
    8
  4939. The areas prime for innovation (IMO) are materials science, electronic ignition (although this will be largely hampered by ATF machine gun regs), and computerized sighting systems.
    8
  4940. I only had 200-round belts, which don't fit in the ammo box.
    8
  4941. Yep, that's the plan! The match is next Saturday, and I'll be shooting a Remington 8 in .300 Savage.
    8
  4942. Not under $1500, but it should be significantly less than the WWII reproduction, thanks to the removal of a bunch of expensive bits like the iron sights, original-style bipod, mag doors, bayonet, etc.
    8
  4943. Tasty, tasty heresy. :)

  4944. www.fromfieldtotable.com
    8
  4945. I don't have the dueling tree accessible.
    8
  4946. I expect it would have worked fine - the system was commercially successful in 12ga and .30/.32/.35 caliber rifle cartridges as the Remington 8 and the Browning Auto-5. It would be a lot more expensive to make than a tilting barrel mechanism though.

    8
  4950. I did not - but I do have a line on another one that will get a video eventually.

    8
  4952. Yes, that is correct. Last Ditch Innovation: The Development of the Gerat 06 and Gerat 06H Rifles
    8
  4953. +Anonymous surfer You...are Number Six.
    8
  4954. That Sten was a badly rebuilt parts kit. If you look at the closeup shots, you can see that the bolt handle was hitting the back of its slot and deforming the receiver tube. It should definitely not be taken as an exemplar of how a real Sten runs.
    8
  4955. Plus 3 more in .45ACP, which I filmed a separate video on. ;)
    8
  4956. No.
    8
  4957. If/when they actually have it ready, of course. We had a number of videos about the project from many years ago on InRange, but it looks like Karl purged them all for some reason.
    8
  4958. Yes.
    8
  4959. +finalfantasy50 It's a compartment for holding up to 10 spare cartridges.
    8
  4960. Forgotten Weapons was never demonetized in the first place.
    8
  4961. It seemed pretty well made. I would cut the design some slack - pretty much all rifles with substantially new technology initially have problems. Just like with software, you don't want to buy version 1.0 :) Give them some time to make revisions, and it might become something really good.
    8
  4962. +Cliff Walker Ballistically, yes, but the taper and rim make it unnecessarily difficult to use with repeating arms.
    8
  4963. I got vaccinated, got tested before departing the US, tested again 72 hours after arriving, and then tested twice more before departing to return home.
    8
  4964. They just always felt pretty flimsy to me. Can't say I've actually given them any serious use.
    8
  4965. Nonsense - the 03 is fine with any factory .30-06 ammunition.
    8
  4966. +556deltawolf No, the TT was an outgrowth of the 1911.
    8
  4967. +Andre Krumins For the Russians, at least, this was typically used as a police or border guard's sidearm.
    8
  4968. +quarktron The charging handle assembly doesn't move when you shoot - the bolt cycles underneath/inside it.
    8
  4969. Very true.
    8
  4970. Nope, this is legally owned.
    8
  4971. They seem like a good idea, but aren't really very practical. For the hunter, a real carbine is much more effective, and a military officer generally doesn't have the need for extended range (and is better served by a carbine as well if they do need it).
    8
  4972. John has been a member of the Nihon Bijutsu Tōken Hozon Kyōkai (NBTHK), Nanka Tōken Kai – Southern California Japanese Sword Society, the To-Ken Society of Great Britain, and The Japanese Sword Society of the United States (JSSUS).
    8
  4973. The pump acts as a charging handle. It fires semi or fully automatically.
    8
  4974. +EDSKaR FWIW, it was not fired in any movies. It was rented out as a non-firing prop only, and they supplied a different conventional semiauto shotgun mocked up to look like it for when firing was required.
    8
  4975. +Sebastian Ernstlos Not that I have been able to find, unfortunately.
    8
  4976. No.
    8

  4978. Sure, go for it.

  4980. There is no specific womens division - divisions are just based on guns and gear.
    8
  4981. Yes, I was.
    8
  4982. No, I just accidentally let the empty case slip back under the ejector. We popped it out with a pocket knife, and all was well.
    8
  4983. When it was adopted it was given the designation 1935, which was the year of the final trial.

    8
  4986. It ensures that the magazine has fully engaged its locking lugs. The British military didn't do this because the RG made SA80 mags were crap, and would often pop a round out of the feed lips if hit like that.
    8
  4987. It's at the printer now, in progress. We should be getting the proof samples in the next couple weeks.
    8
  4988. And the Garand is arguably heavily inspired by the RSC-1917. In the end, it's always French... ;)
    8
  4989. In the extreme case, the rear of the case blows out and injures the shooter. More typically, you would get excessively high bolt velocity, which would quickly lead to damage to the bolt or receiver, as the two slam into each other.
    8
  4990. We only had two cartridges, and wanted to make sure we hit the plate on the first shot (not knowing how the gun might be zeroed).
    8
  4991. +Electro-Cute 6.5 Bergmann in a pistol of this weight really wouldn't have any significant recoil in the first place.

    8

    8
  5000. They were not used in WWII, with the exception of a couple dozen modified for aircraft use by the Germans.
    8
  5001. My plan for next year is to run once with a historical setup of some sort, and once with the best rig I can put together.
    8
  5002. I didn't take the Baghdad out to the range, but I did run an Egyptian-themed 2-Gun match which will post on Saturday...
    8
  5003. What Lord Kiltridge said, plus an open bolt gun does not keep a cartridge in the chamber all the time. When the gun gets really hot (as machine guns often do), cartridges can soak up enough heat from sitting in the chamber to fire spontaneously - called a cook-off. The open bolt design prevents that from happening, which is an important safety precaution.
    8
  5004. +patrick crosley 1 caliber; no decimal point. It's a 1" bore.
    8
  5005. Awesome! :)
    8
  5006. Yes, you remember correctly.
    8
  5007. +North Southy Both pronunciations are correct.
    8
  5008. Possibly just a shooter without enough experience shooting full-power Magnum ammo. ;)
    8
  5009. It's French CCE. The magazine was 20 rounds because anything longer was considered to interfere with prone shooting. Hence the top-mounted magazines on most magazine-fed LMGs.
    8
  5010. Meunier.
    8
  5011. Only .308.
    8
  5012. +Adam Clark 7.62x54R
    8
  5013. In normal use, the gun ejects cases automatically. The owner here had disabled the ejection in order to preserve the brass - that's why the manual unloading was necessary.

  5015. Actually, Disney did quite a lot of this sort of thing during the war. In particular, Disney artists did a ton of aircraft and armored vehicle nose art pro bono for crews.
    8
  5016. tobuslieven No, the bullet is gone before the barrel starts moving, as with the Browning tilting barrel system.
    8
  5017. Everything I said was about the 94, but I did inadvertently say 14.

  5018. alcibiadesW It would be very interesting to try a fluted barrel in one of these.
    8
  5019. Is a hot dog not a child’s food?
    8
  5020. Most matured? No - that would probably have to be the AUG. But I like the VHS-2 more than any other current-production bullpup.
    8
  5021. East Germany and Yugoslavia used them actively after the war. Spain, Switzerland, and a bunch of other countries experimented with them in the process of developing their own new rifles.

  5038. +Square Tins I can only say that they are, in fact, top...men.
    8
  5039. Yep - or keep the manual safety on until you're ready to shoot.
    8
  5040. Australia used the L2A1 automatic rifle version of the FAL instead of converting the Bren.
    8
  5041. Locking bar rear sights were adopted in late 1942/early 1943.
    8
  5042. Yes, I have a full video filmed, but not yet scheduled.

  5046. +James Ward They are exempt under the sporting purpose clause.
    8
  5047. +Louis Marcy It's an inventory tag from a previous owner.
    8
  5048. +Hrothgar It's British military surplus.
    8
  5049. OneTallOrder I think it was a combination of several factors. The biggest thing, IMO, is that the expected maximum practical effective range was relatively short by many peoples' standards (400 yard or so), and as magnification increases field of view decreases. Scope durability and bulkiness was also a consideration pushing towards smaller scopes.
    8
  5050. That video will be published on Thursday the 4th.
    8
  5051. The G2 was the SIG 510 and the G4 was the AR10.
    8
  5052. No. Saguaro cactus taken literally hundreds of years to grow, and we take their protection quite seriously.
    8
  5053. Yes, I did.
    8
  5054. Yes, that price is around what they sell for, depending on model, condition, accessories, etc.
    8
  5055. Bethlehem Steel 37mm Cannon - WWI Era
    8
  5056. I didn't measure it, but I think the 1911 slide weighs more than the Savage's - so the 1911 soaks up a bit more energy on recoil.
    8
  5057. Yes, SSD. Their American partner has one gun available right now (a semiauto MP38 called the BD38) and I have a video on it coming next week.
    8
  5058. Hard to put a value on them - most people aren't interested, and most people think they are unsafe to shoot. OTOH, they aren't very common. I think I would be willing to pay $200-$250, depending on the condition.
    8
  5059. It really varies, but I would expect around $200.
    8
  5060. Don't worry, I'm pretty sure you didn't. A 54R cartridge is much wider at the base than the .30-06, and would not possibly fit into a .30-06 chamber. I guess it's possible someone just ran a .30-06 reamer into a standard 54R chamber, which would be unsafe for both cartridges.
    8
  5061. I think that really depends on your importation laws and perceived market demand.
    8
  5062. A bit tricky. Bending the bolt handle without lengthening it doesn't really make it more ergonomic.
    8
  5063. Yes, I have a video on it filmed. No publication date scheduled yet though.
    8
  5064. Yes, that's the L98A2.
    8
  5065. No, because that isn't true.
    8
  5066. +Primarch359 The Collector Grade book "War Baby" is where I would start.
    8
  5067. FN did, yes.
    8
  5068. Yes.
    8
  5069. While I do take part in some pretty exotic competitions, the match that appears most on the channel is the Backup Gun Match, which is absolutely accessible to everyone. My hope with publishing both sorts of competition footage (aside from the interesting takeaways from any given combination of challenges and guns) is that more people will start matches at their local clubs and do this sort of thing themselves.
    8
  5070. A few...most of them with FN products. :) High Powers in WW2, FAL in the Falklands, FN49s in the Congo...

    8
  5074. Thanks!

  5075. +TheBenchPressMan It didn't; the Luger uses box magazines.
    8
  5076. +The Imperial Combine The C96, IMO.
    8
  5077. No.
    8
  5078. Yes.
    8
  5079. Yes.
    8
  5080. I actually have a Groza filmed, but not sure yet when it will publish. :)
    8
  5081. So I should simultaneously say less about politics and also say more about how and why various wars began? I can't do both...
    8
  5082. Shrivenham is a military institution.
    8
  5083. I would love to; just have to find one. They are very hard to get outside of the French military.
    8
  5084. You'll frighten the tourists.
    8
  5085. Yes, about a dozen were discovered in Japan, and promptly all destroyed. Very unfortunate.
    8
  5086. Same reason as aluminum.
    8
  5087. Unfortunately, I don't have any inside info - Karl and I are still waiting like everyone else.
    8
  5088. Sure - the Nambu rifle was, the Nippon Special Steel rifle was, and Kokura Arsenal developed an independent design in about 1943.
    8
  5089. Working on it...
    8
  5090. No. It would only be an NFA item if the barrel was less than 18" long.
    8
  5091. Roller delay.
    8
  5092. Nope. This one was a prop from the SciFi TV series.
    8
  5093. Hopefully...
    8
  5094. Unfortunately, I just don't have the available time to do a podcast.
    8
  5095. Scoring zones on the target - "A" is excellent, "C" is okay, and "D" is poor.
    8
  5096. No, not really.
    8
  5097. No, completely different.
    8
  5098. 1200-1400 in general.
    8
  5099. As I say in the video, it's a mix of original and reproduction parts.
    8
  5100. Please let me know when the book is published (admin@forgottenweapons.com)! I would like to review it for the channel.
    8
  5101. There really isn't one.
    8
  5102. The FN MAG is at heart an upside-down BAR.
    8
  5103. Basically, Remington used a complex and highly engineered system to function with high-pressure ammo (the Remington 8 cartridges are higher pressure than the Winchester Self-Loader ones), while Winchester used a simple brute-force method. The Winchester self-loaders (1905/07/10) are blowback actions, using increasingly heavy bolts to handle the increasing power of the cartridges. They often have cracked handguards because the wood there was pretty thin to make space for the required mass to keep the guns cycling safely. For practical purposes, the Winchesters were less expensive, and very practical replacements for the lever-action saddle carbines that preceded them. The Remington was more expensive, a bit more powerful, and intended as a high-quality sportsman's rifle rather than an everyman's utility rifle.
    8
  5104. Didn't have time, unfortunately.
    8
  5105. Me too! :)
    8
  5106. Aircraft today are typically moving too fast for any gun to be effective AA weapons. That said, the Phalanx anti-missile systems are Gatling style weapons similar to these.
    8
  5107. mike messier Not really. You can get it, but it's expensive stuff. Most shooters rebarrel them for .50 BMG.
    8
  5108. Of all the small arms in World War Two, the Germans had the two that would be absolutely the most influential on future weapons development. The StG-44 is one, and the MG 34 is the other.
    8
  5109. The FG-42 is definitely more expensive to manufacture than the FAL. The receiver in particular is quite a bit more complex.
    8
  5110. Yep, definitely all coming!
    8
  5111. Two.
    8
  5112. For all its faults, durability is not one of them. I don't think it would ever blow up.
    8
  5113. No, you would have to unsolder the existing rear sight base, and then solder a G98 type in place. Then mount the adjustable part. Might need to relieve the stock to fit as well. Don't do it.
    8
  5114. j0nthegreat The trials reports or conclusions are publicly available documents, if you're able to find them amongst the reams of other government documents from the era.
    8
  5115. I don't.
    8
  5116. ***** More expensive, certainly.
    8
  5117. Well, there are at least a dozen more in my archives here. I tend to post one right after each match, which happens monthly.
    8
  5118. 7.65mm Browning (aka .32 ACP)
    8
  5119. Yep.
    8
  5120. Thanks!
    8
  5121. AOWs are $5, SBS are $200.
    8

  5123. +Ronald Colman Sullivan Act was 1911 (New York only), NFA was 34, and GCA was 68.
    8
  5124. No, the previous video was on a Type 92 100mm gun.
    8
  5125. Yes.
    8
  5126. No idea; it's what was on the shirt when I got it.
    8
  5127. quincy8557 If I could prevent one of them from appearing in feeds, I would - but Youtube doesn't make that possible. Note that every InRange video, PPV and trailer, has a title that starts with "InRange". That should make it simple to just not watch what you aren't interested in.
    8
  5128. I have not handled a PSA gun, but they were clearly copying the same thing.
    8
  5129. When I go to Ukraine.
    8
  5130. Those are probably 8mm Mauser conversions, made after the war. Some day I definitely need to get a look at one of them!
    8
  5131. Three Americans were awarded the Medal of Honor for actions using the Chauchat during WW1. Like I said at the end, it took skill and practice to use well, but it also offered a tremendous volume of portable firepower for the time.
    8
  5132. +Legi0n4weRmany Saxon as in from the state of Saxony.
    8
  5133. The primers were blown clear of the barrel when fired, despite being on the outside of the projectiles.
    8
  5134. When this gun was made, the PRC did not exist.
    8
  5135. This particular one is actually in .45 Gardner-Gatling.
    8
  5136. No.
    8
  5137. It started as a hobby and I built it into a full time occupation.
    8
  5138. No, none of the guns in this series are for sale.
    8
  5139. One big reason is that rimfire cartridges by necessity have a thin case at the back, so the firing pin can crush the rim and detonate the priming compound. When you start getting reasonably powerful cartridges, the case needs to be much thicker to withstand the pressure, and that makes the rimfire system impractical.
    8
  5140. +Larry Griffin Yes, I know. Misspoke.
    8
  5141. Narred Darr Sure, I'll just defer to your expertise. It's not like I was there watching them load up the case with powder and projectile or anything. FWIW, the projectile was about 15 pounds. I don't know the velocity, and I'm sure it was lower than a full wartime load, but the projo was full size and quite heavy.
    8
  5142. crunchysuperman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUILA4SoVvc It does deserve a newer and better one, though.
    8
  5143. We will be putting an errata list on the web site.
    8
  5144. It's an Edgertronic.
    8
  5145. Thanks!
    8
  5146. Sronly Maybe, but that is a very common position for that release on Mannlicher-type rifles. You will also find it on Berthiers, Carcanos, Steyr-Mannlichers, and others.
    8
  5147. It would not change the ping, and the ping was not actually an issue.
    8
  5148. You are clearly a wise and charitable person. :)

  5149. +LutzDerLurch Yep.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ODhQmE2OqY

  5151. We will get to those...
    8
  5152. PneubTube Or Mauser zigzags.
    8
  5153. I think the recoil springs probably broke a lot.
    8
  5154. Colt made lots of improvements, it was just the US military specifically that wasn't buying.
    8
  5155. Not next, because I'm about to leave on a series of trips. But I will do it later this year.
    8
  5156. boedhaspeaks My mistake; I thought you were referring to the repro FG42 in the video. FWIW, I will definitely practice on a cheapie quadcopter before trying to use the serious one (and I do have some R/C background).
    8
  5157. +znbrtn General Beauregard's LeMat.
    8
  5158. Hermann Kateri No offense taken; it's a valid question that a number of people have asked.
    8
  5159. I've handled one, but not shot one. They are tiny little guns, and I would really like to try one out.
    8
  5160. There were two in that particular auction, and they went for $2300 and $3450 (one had a matching scope, the other was mismatched)
    8
  5161. I'm not aware of any.
    8
  5162. Working on it.
    8
  5163. Most of the time it's a Ballester Molina.
    8
  5164. I research my video subjects prior to filming as long as I know what I am going to have access to in a given place. I've done some off the cuff, but not a lot. I have a reasonably extensive library (and growing all the time) that I use for research, but I have not published any books myself (yet).
    8
  5165. He was; we took care of it.
    8
  5166. Riazor1370 Here's an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhRoaISinwA
    8
  5167. Double action goes back much earlier than Colt; I have seen double action flintlock revolvers. Colt was the first person to make a practical and commercially successful version though.
    8
  5168. There is a small monument there to Ichiki's men, but it may not survive the current Chinese development plans.
    8
  5169. No it won't, because it's not for sale. :)
    8
  5170. Generally, no - most museums do not fire anything in their collections. Some do shoot duplicate items, though - the Royal Armouries are a good example.
    8
  5171. Tresvampireslayer Season 5, Episode 9.
    8
  5172. Hobgoblin1975 Actually it's not all that expensive, considering. There were very few guns made that use it, so the original production from 1929 is not all that hard to find still.
    8
  5173. Yup - that was his next endeavor after these revolvers were shut down by S&W.
    8
  5174. Not any time soon.
    8
  5175. April 23rd.
    8
  5176. They didn't; I filmed this in South Africa.
    8
  5177. The M77 in this video has R76 grip panels on it.
    8
  5178. Perhaps you could explain what your testing involved? For what it's worth, the rifle was very much English in origin, not British. I find it revealing that every British military professional (armorers, smalls arms academy instructors, etc) I have spoken with has acknowledged how terrible the A1 variant was. Here's the series of videos I did on its development: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WtOOLh_F8I&list=PL9e3UCcU00TTKZGYyt7empeySNqh-xJWb

    8
  5180. Repetition and Automatic.
    8
  5181. Um, no. I saying it's shit because it is shit. There are plenty of British guns I really like.
    8
  5182. The contest winner was Cyrus, who will be sending us a photo of his completed rifle project.
    8
  5183. It really was not.
    8
  5184. +Christian Hush Yes.
    8
  5185. +Tactical Tightwad Yup.
    8
  5186. Records are a bit sketchy on who exactly got guns. I would rather be vague than give a specific example that ends up being wrong.
    8
  5187. Yes, PPU makes it.
    8
  5188. If a museum or police agency registers it on a Form 10, it can never reenter commercial trade.
    8
  5189. Nice - I'm sure he appreciates your working finding the record of sale!
    8
  5190. Hey, it's the only pre-1980s Russian hat I have.
    8
  5191. Buxton's 3 volume set "The P38 Pistol". They are expensive, though. http://amzn.to/2dS9Ke4
    8
  5192. GeFlixes Like I said, they are very scarce. IMO, that price estimate is, if anything, conservative for an example in such good condition.
    8
  5193. That style of action was implemented before WWI in the Sjogren rifle and shotgun.
    8
  5194. Hard to say without actually trying it.
    8
  5195. +Dan Gunnarsson It's for disassembling the firing pin.
    8
  5196. Yep, I am planning to do a series on the C96. It might not be soon, but it will be a good batch of videos when I am able to do it!
    8
  5197. Cost and an import ban.
    8
  5198. The markings on the bottom of a cartridge case are called the headstamp (typically a date and manufacturer).
    8
  5199. Taking military arms and material is not theft.
    8
  5200. +TheCityofGod If you look at that playlist you will find a bunch of videos about obscure guns from WW1.
    8
  5201. A bit - S&W experimented with one during Vietnam.
    8
  5202. Indochina used a lot of parachute operations, and Algeria made extensive use of helicopters...so yeah, folding or otherwise compact guns definitely were appropriate for what France would be doing.
    8
  5203. 9mm Glisenti.
    8
  5204. As a general rule, C&R pistols are exempted from the NFA regs when used with their original stocks. You can't could on that 100%, but the exempted guns are all listed by make and sometimes serial number in the gov's NFA exempt list.
    8
  5205. Perfect!
    8
  5206. Rear lugs shorten the bolt throw and the disadvantages are pretty minor.
    8
  5207. The stage was limited to 20 rounds in the rifle, and the RO didn't realize that Tom could only fit 10 in a full-size magazine. :)
    8
  5208. The Maxim9 is well on its way to being forgotten... :)
    8
  5209. Yep, it is.
    8
  5210. If you had the chance to handle this pistol (or if you believe what I said in the video), you wouldn't be so fast to condemn it. Whoever manufactured this piece may not have known much about guns, but they were quite the talented machinist, and the fit and finish is remarkably good. Chinese military production (particularly AKs and SKSs, among others) is excellent, and there is no country anywhere that hasn't produced junk at some point.
    8
  5211. I wrote about it on the blog, but at that time I hadn't had a chance to handle it.
    8
  5212. They have an app.
    8
  5213. For some reason YouTube decided not to notify subscribers of the first video, and I had to delete and re-upload it to change that.
    8
  5214. It appears to be...
    8
  5215. There are more Finn captured SVTs in the US than any other type.
    8
  5216. I'm working on it (I have one myself).
    8
  5217. Semiauto, both of them.
    8
  5218. +zendell37 A few, somewhere...I think.
    8
  5219. +PsychoBrad84 Everything from Cobray. :)
    8
  5220. Compared to modern pistols, it is too big, too heavy, poorly balanced, has a mediocre safety, limited capacity, awkward reloads, and poor sights. Don't get me wrong, I still like it and it will still get the job done - but modern guns are more efficient.
    8
  5221. I did not demonetize Forgotten Weapons. And I also dislike that ad, but have no control over it.
    8
  5222. I like to imagine it that other way too! 😆
    8
  5223. The Cav Arms tooling was sold to GWACS, and they disappeared off the market years ago. When WWSD 2017 got popular, Karl and I made a bunch of attempts to contact GWACS to arrange more manufacture and further development. We were never able to reach them, and their whole market presence had gone dark (social media, customer support, business license, etc). We eventually gave up, and talked to KE to develop an alternative.
    8
  5224. No, no diving. I'd love to do some of that myself though!
    8
  5225. All semiauto.
    8
  5226. +Arnkæll The 8mm measurement only tells you the diameter of the bullet, not the size of the casing and powder charge behind it. The 8x57mm round was the German full-power rifle round, the 8x33mm was an intermediate-power round (which this rifle uses), and the revolver cartridges are typically 8x27 or so, and small diameter cases with much less powder for use in pistols. None of these are interchangeable, despite all using 8mm diameter projectiles.
    8
  5227. Well, building a bolt action rifle you have the plans for is probably simpler than reverse-engineering a semiauto rifle...
    8
  5228. You're mixing up the SA80 and EM-2. The EM-2 began in .280 caliber; the SA-80 started life in 4.85mm.
    8
  5229. Wubby penguin Nope, far from it. Several nations used semiauto rifles in WWI (France in particular, with Winchester 1907s and RSC 1917 and 1918 rifles). Germany used Mondragon 1908 rifles and Mauser 1915 self-loading rifles, and the Brits had some Farquhar-Hill rifles. The Garand was the first standard-issue military semauto though.
    8
  5230. Roku is coming for them.
    8
  5231. Not really, the M14 has a different gas system.
    8
  5232. I've had some tense moments, but never had to hand a gun back to its owner in a baggie. :)
    8
  5233. It's not finished yet; hopefully it will be available in the spring. And yes, it will ship to Europe.
    8
  5234. No, because to the extent that thing ever existed, it was Austrian and not German.
    8
  5235. Well, except that I only showed you about 5% of the pages.
    8
  5236. Those are just ribs to strengthen the stamped magazine well cover.
    8
  5237. Nick Galbraith Not yet.
    8
  5238. I know you can't see it, but I'm wearing awesome British woodland DPM fatigues. :)
    8
  5239. Hammer more.
    8
  5240. The did have lathes and mills. Early manufacturing centers were generally located on rivers, because they used the water to power machinery. Later this would be replaced with boilers and steam turbines running central power systems for factories. In old photos and drawings you will see each machine tool connected to a power spindle in the ceiling by a long leather belt.
    8
  5241. No, I have not. If a publisher did object I would take down the video, but I think they recognize that I show enough to promote more sales by giving potential buyers a good idea what they are getting, but not so much that you can use the video to read the whole book. :)
    8
  5242. graidstinHitlerRants More likely I'll add the hammer prices to each video's description.
    8
  5243. +TheBuffaloSamurai None that I am aware of.
    8
  5244. The arrival of hundreds of thousands of American troops in 1918 was without question what ended the war.
    8
  5245. It was a 52 with a chamber insert.
    8
  5246. Because the slide moving forwards creates a recoil force of its own, which adds to the recoil generated by the bullet.
    8
  5247. As a left hander, I see no problem with the bolt being on the right.
    8
  5248. They did make a version in 5.56mm, actually.
    8
  5249. I had not known it was in Counter Strike.
    8
  5250. I still have it.
    8
  5251. No, because the chamber is part of the barrel. Without the barrel, there is nothing to contain the cartridge.
    8
  5252. No, I've seen the sort of legal briefs they file.
    8
  5253. Yes, it is him.
    8
  5254. You do, you just don't want it transmitting.
    8
  5255. +mrping100 No, it's a private collection.
    8
  5256. Prvi Partisan.
    8
  5257. No, it has nothing to do with that. The company is called "Q" and it predates the conspiracy nonsense.
    8
  5258. Yes - I actually have one of the Heritage Stealth copies myself. Haven't done a video on it yet, but I will.
    8
  5259. Possibly - I want to see if it can still shoot at all in 7.63mm first, though.
    8
  5260. Yes, it does have a stripper clip guide. I didn't think about doing that when we were doing the video, though.
    8
  5261. The drum holder 19 rounds. I didn't time myself on loading it, but it doesn't take all that long. The owner of the rifle also had an original pouch to hold a pair of spare drums as well.
    8
  5262. Recoil would cause it to reset.
    8
  5263. Yes - the tripod locks down the gun such that you don't need to stare down the sights continuously. In addition, firing into sand (like the impact berm at Bisley) makes it easy to aim by watching bullet impacts.
    8
  5264. GunFun ZS Yeah, the guys designing the stages do a great job coming up with creative and fun setups without needing a ton of complex setup.
    8
  5265. German law from the 50s.
    8
  5266. Legally it's not deactivated, it's registered as a live destructive device.
    8
  5267. It's not really a bullpup, because the magazine is in front of the trigger group. Also, there were bullpup designs around decades earlier, like the Godsal and Thorneycroft bolt actions.
    8
  5268. This web site and video channel.
    8
  5269. Yep, you are correct. There were some manufacturing problems initially, but they were resolved fairly quickly.
    8
  5270. I bungled the editing on the first version and didn't realize it until it was published.
    8
  5271. I filmed this before Othais published his, and did not have access to the cablegrams he located.
    8
  5272. Armson Occluded Eye Gunsight (OEG)
    8
  5273. +MrDoctorCrow Yes, one of these days.
    8
  5274. It was just accidentally posted ahead of schedule - it will be back next week.
    8
  5275. I don't have any specifically planned, but if I am able to find some I will definitely do them.
    8
  5276. A novel test for identifying language snobs (who are wrong, to boot).
    8
  5277. That applies to every single gun in the first M1 Carbine trial.
    8
  5278. It's at a museum, not for sale.
    8
  5279. Kevin Collver No.
    8
  5280. Exceptions to everything, yes.
    8
  5281. It the Swedes wanted me to pronounce it right, they'd have given it an English name.
    8
  5282. Cosmas B If you read the trials reports from US or other military trials, it's actually fairly common for guns to be submitted which simply flat-out didn't work. I think this one would have worked, but would have been unpleasant to shoot and would have had a pretty short service life.
    8
  5283. Yep, the US used them in .30-06, the Dutch used them in 6.5x53R, and at least a couple were made for Russia in 7.62x54R.
    8
  5284. Yes, the Lewis was used extensively in aircraft. The BAR, though, was a very late development, and saw only brief use right at the end of the war.
    8
  5285. Marathon GSAR
    8
  5286. Not quite the same time, but L'Assaut: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1793239/
    8
  5287. No, they started at 00001. Mark Hanish still has one of the single-digit ones.
    8
  5288. Yes, I've seen #00005.
    8
  5289. The only real advantage to blow-forward is having a longer barrel for the same OAL...
    8
  5290. I don't have any documentation on it, but those guesses sound good to me.
    8
  5291. If I can find examples, sure.
    8
  5292. I cannot formulate a proper reply because I am actually just an AI bot.
    8
  5293. Some problems, yes. In some specific areas there are a fair number of deliberate forgeries (especially SS guns, for example). In other areas there are a reasonable number of guns with replacement parts, often done without malice. For example, sometimes US troops were given an opportunity to take souvenir rifles from big piles of guns turned in by surrendered enemy; those often had the bolt removed when turned in. So a US soldier would take a rifle form one pile and then get a bolt from the pile of bolts, resulting in a mismatched gun. For the collector, a matching one is definitely more desirable.
    8
  5294. Glisenti.
    8
  5295. It's heavy, at about 12 pounds. Balance is quite good, though.
    8
  5296. +Gun Sense (drmaudio) Nope, I enjoy doing these.
    8
  5297. They scrapped their proposed new fee structure: https://blog.patreon.com/not-rolling-out-fees-change/ Or did they do something new?
    8
  5298. LJVolkov21 There are other examples of plain straight-blowback 9mm pistols that are safe, like the Astra 600 and Hi-Point C9. Hi-Point may not be much in the quality department, but they are safe.
    8
  5299. Burris Fastfire 3.
    8
  5300. http://candrsenal.com/product-category/posters/
    8
  5301. +Cielo Pachirisu Nope.
    8
  5302. They are British desert BDUs. I found them at a random surplus store...
    8
  5303. The one good book out there is Jean Huon's "Proud Promise" about French semiauto rifles, which covers the MAS 44, 49, and 49/56.
    8
  5304. Ravine, machine, cuisine, pristine, marine, tangerine.
    8
  5305. I uses standard 5.56; steel case is not necessary.
    8
  5306. Some people bring various other non-AR guns, but I don't think anyone else goes quite so over-the-top as I do. :)
    8
  5307. The Nambu is actually not a copy of the Bren. And the Germans used the ZB26 and ZB30, which predated the Bren.
    8
  5308. Peated Scotch.
    8
  5309. They had two Drors, actually - both 2nd model ones in 8mm.
    8
  5310. It's Cornet & Co (which I mentioned in the description text above).
    8
  5311. +IrrelevantNL Yup.
    8
  5312. There were FALs built in intermediate cartridges, but none are available today. Venezuela bought a bunch in 7mm Liviano (one of the British intermediate rounds under consideration in the 50s), but later rechambered them for 7.62 NATO. Early experimental FALs were also made in .30 Carbine, 8x33 Kurz, and .280/30.
    8
  5313. Not yet, but I'm always looking.
    8
  5314. +W Bailey Yes, it could.
    8
  5315. Yes, it's a feature that Grayman & Co does to allow full range of motion. I really like it.
    8
  5316. Yes, I guarantee it.
    8
  5317. This was actually in my scheduling queue before George Floyd was killed. I figured it was particularly relevant now, for obvious reasons. I think this is a perfect time to present rational, factual, and nonpartisan information on something that is of relevance at the moment to a lot of people.
    8
  5318. No, unfortunately it fell through.
    8
  5319. Sabroe The "v" in "skov" being silent?
    8
  5320. It's an aircraft machine gun.
    8
  5321. Yes, it is definitely intended for use as a carry handle.
    8
  5322. SAW.
    8
  5323. Pistol and handgun are synonymous; and revolvers are a subset of pistols.
    8
  5324. It is called "firearms modification", which is listed in the rules. There is no definition of "firearms modification" given. For context, the rules also prohibit showing "thermal ammunition", and even I don't know what that is.
    8
  5325. The camo came from What Price Glory, and the boots came from the St Ouen flea market.
    8
  5326. HK SP5, Kalashnikov USA KP-9, Hotchkiss Universal, CMMG Banshee, and Lage Max31 (set to semiauto).
    8
  5327. Sorry, IIRC I have the ammo in the No.3 video.
    8
  5328. We haven't gotten to shoot one yet, but we do have a handful of photos. The photos will be posted at some point, and we're working on getting a chance to shoot it.
    8
  5329. Yep, the T44 was an FG42 with an MG42 feed system/top cover kludged onto the side in place of the magazine well. It was the first step in the development of the M60.
    8
  5330. +Connor Myers-Norton My concern was that the part is probably only surface hardened, and a substantial change in profile would require re-hardening.
    8
  5331. It does, and the impact that had on later export sales.
    8
  5332. Yes, tomorrow
    8
  5333. Yes, the US units seconded to French command were equipped with French arms.
    8
  5334. The argument is a bit different when you are starting with semiauto rifles instead of bolt actions...
    8
  5335. There were some 88s converted to 8x57 by commercial Belgians firms; these are not considered safe to fire today. The M95 was converted to 8x57 as the M95M aka M95/24 in Yugoslavian service. These are a short rifle length, and were also converted to use Mauser stripper clips through the use of an internal clip.
    8
  5336. +John McClain Well, the Dragunov bipod mounts in the same position.
    8
  5337. Hugh Batesel Blanks (it's in the description text).
    8
  5338. ***** It uses an early type of magazine - basically a block of 25 chambers that drop in behind the barrels when the action is open. The gun crew has several, and while one is being used the others can be emptied and reloaded.
    8
  5339. Yep, I am working on getting one to review.
    8
  5340. It's funny, because "Indian not arrow" is a consistent lesson I have learned from shooting these matches. However, there does come a point where one weapon is so clearly superior to another that it can overcome a significant difference in shooters' skills.
    8
  5341. TheGrandslam89 Yes, and a hundred thousand were ordered - but cancelled when Japan surrendered. The idea eventually became the M14.
    8
  5342. Animals, actually - I could've chosen my wording better.
    8
  5343. 1899.
    8
  5344. +vector6977 http://www.forgottenweapons.com/belt-fed-johnson-lmgs/
    8
  5345. The original sealant was greased asbestos string wrapped in a sealing groove at each end. Vickers owners today can use that, or similar solutions like greased normal string, teflon tape, or rubber o-rings.
    8
  5346. That one is in .303.
    8
  5347. The TT33 is stronger. The weak point i the CZ52 (and I really should re-do this video to include this information) is the underside of the chamber, which is quite thin.The CZ locking system is strong, but the combination of improper heat treat and a hot cartridge will blow out the chamber. This has happened to a number of people, and you can find the reprt by googling CZ52 kaboom.
    8
  5348. I will, just give me a few months.
    8
  5349. We had three days of miraculously beautiful weather up on the north coast
    8
  5350. Anything is possible...but no.
    8
  5351. Yes, it has a 1:3" twist.
    8
  5352. It's not strictly a ban on foreign receivers. It's two things. -first that a machine gun receiver cannot be converted to semiauto (and the M76 receivers were deemed machine guns because they had safety sears). Second, non-sporting rifles can are required to have at least 10 US-made parts (based on a specific list of "parts"). Often the receiver is replaced with a US one as part of meeting this requirement.
    8
  5353. A couple people came close to doing just that... :)
    8
  5354. Kinda defeats the purpose of 3D spring if you have to make the feed lips metal. As that point, just make the whole thing metal.
    8
  5355. They are actively working on the rest of the HK and Sig series; they plan to reprint everything as long as demand is there. Most of them are still in stock, although sometimes only the signature editions.
    8
  5356. Actually...the second volume of the WW2 Small Arms series is on the USSR, and we are doing the last bit of editing on it right now. It should be ready for presale and launch in the next month or so. :)
    8
  5357. Italian police use the PM-12.
    8
  5358. The question was about ones that can actually be acquired.
    8
  5359. Usually it's just a one-man thing with a tripod.
    8
  5360. Unfortunately, no.
    8
  5361. Nope.
    8
  5362. With .45-70 you are correct, but the Spencer cartridges (56-56, 56-52, 56-50) are named by the base diameter (.56 inch) and neck diameter (.50, .52, and .56 inch).
    8
  5363. Matthew Choquette Not great, but not too bad. As a combat pistol it would be fine.
    8
  5364. Thanks!
    8
  5365. Unfortunately, I don not anticipate being able to fire it. We didn't have access to a range when the video was taken, and it will be some time before we are back there again.
    8
  5366. It's translated in the Collector Grade book "Sturmgewehr".
    8
  5367. It if often important to have a good understanding of very popular and successful firearms like the Bren (or AR15, or M60, etc) in order to have the full context to understand experimental version of those guns, or the developments that came before or after them. If you go check out ForgottenWeapons.com, I can guarantee you will find a bunch of guns you had no idea even existed. :)
    8
  5368. To clarify, the guns were purchased from a dealer in Hamburg, but shipped from Kiel into the Baltic. Why they did not take a shorter route into the North Sea I don't know.
    8
  5369. Yes, he certainly did.
    8
  5370. I will answer that in about 2 weeks, when my video on the MAS-36 posts.
    8
  5371. Yeah, the brake is a bit brutal for bystanders - but as with most brakes, its not noticeable to the shooter. You can find AG42Bs around, usually for the $600-$900 range. I have two videos on them: Ljungman AG-42B at the Range AG-42B Ljungman
    8
  5372. +qt3141692 I believe that is the screw that holds the mainspring in place inside the grips.
    8
  5373. Dandy Lion Good question - I didn't think to check. They are definitely close...
    8
  5374. It sold for $4025. The rifle behind it was a Mauser 1918 tankgewehr (anti-tank rifle)
    8
  5375. Yes.
    8
  5376. I would be extremely surprised if this pistol ever fires again.
    8
  5377. It's a Chasseur Alpin beret.
    8
  5378. I don't know, but I filmed three of them today.
    7
  5379. That will be in the full video, which publishes Wednesday.
    7
  5380. Agree completely on the loaders. The push-pull is just easier to set up and use for a belt or two. As for parts, though, I have had nothing ever break on this gun, although I do have a bunch of spares just in case. And I bought a bunch of Czech light ball, so I don't have to mess with differing batches of ammo. :)
    7
  5381. What I am using is a Finnish belt, just not the same type as that photo.
    7
  5382. Neither; I converted a Vickers feedback to use russian Maxim/SG43/PK metal belts.
    7
  5383. TheLobstersoup I just do videos like these for them (I'm not an RIA employee). It gets them publicity and it gets me access to a whole slew of rare guns.
    7
  5384. +Ian W. My previous "real" job was in the solar power industry.
    7
  5385. The M-76, as noted by Uryendel, is a copy of the Swedish m/45. It looks a lot like the Madsen, but doesn't have the clamshell-type assembly.
    7
  5386. RedXlV I don't know that it had anything to do with unit conversions, but a big part of the .30-06 problem was that they used the wrong chamber spec.
    7
  5387. Actually they are very reliable, and have been adopted in various forms by several major military forces (including the British Army, which used them in Malaysia).
    7
  5388. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgOicEVA4u8
    7
  5389. Not sure yet - but we do have a proper European shipping option that is a lot less expensive than before!
    7
  5390. Armalite.
    7
  5391. https://youtu.be/2bl8L7zP0VY
    7
  5392. Yeah, it was a Czech bayonet. Happened to be what I had on hand when filming.
    7
  5393. The M39 is a great gun except for being a Mosin.
    7
  5394. Yes, in some places they did.
    7
  5395. Not yet - production was delayed and I don't have it yet.
    7
  5396. No, they are completely safe.
    7
  5397. To protect the end of the stock.
    7
  5398. Alex Smith Gel is temperature sensitive, and its density changes as it heats up or cools down. The soap was developed to avoid that issue, particularly in the Arizona desert.
    7
  5399. When I am able to find one, definitely.
    7
  5400. +Bill Summy Yes, tomorrow
    7
  5401. Yes.
    7
  5402. No. I suspect such a stripper clip would have too much friction to be practical.
    7
  5403. +K3NnY_G What odd changes? It sounds fine to me...
    7
  5404. Both types vary widely in quality
    7
  5405.  @sergiomorell5652  I understand that the Franco regime was not a good time in Spanish history, and I'm sorry if you find the sight of that flag unpleasant. However, that is the flag that was in use at the time. I similarly use flags from Mussolini's rule in Italy. If ISIS designed a firearm and I did a video on it, I would use an ISIS flag on the thumbnail. I use the Confederate flag on guns designed in the CSA during our American civil war. It has nothing to do with supporting the idea of those governments; it's simply the flag that was in use when and where the gun was created.
    7
  5406. It is (deliberately) the flag that was in use when the gun was designed.
    7
  5407. I have one as well, and at some point I will have the time to put together a review of it. There's some good and some bad...the parts kits are fine; the receivers have issues.
    7
  5408. I will inform the rental car company to watch out for...something? :)
    7
  5409. Correct, no relation to Arthur Savage and the modern Savage Arms Company.
    7
  5410. +Emil Smith Semmerling.
    7
  5411. Yes, there were lots of black powder cartridges.
    7
  5412. Not reknowned for being either very good or very bad in the accuracy department. Hard to get a really good idea of expected accuracy now, given that all of them are 70+ years old now and usually pretty well-worn.
    7
  5413. Considering they are marked "A COMPANY" through "E COMPANY"...
    7
  5414. FR-F2
    7
  5415. Nope, they are gone. Because charges were not filed, and the trade was done with the museum's (or at least the curator's) permission, there is no legal basis for seizing the guns from their new owners.
    7
  5416. They clearly got the message.
    7
  5417. You think that didn't happen already?
    7
  5418. Similar, yes.
    7
  5419. Potentially quite lethal, especially considering the medical technology of the time.
    7
  5420. New production Prvi Partisan. It's excellent ammo.
    7
  5421. Turns out they were black-eyed peas...so more beans in tomato sauce than the green peas you (and I) were expecting.
    7
  5422. I will not actually have it in my possession until he NFA transfer goes through, which hopefully will be around the beginning of 2018.
    7
  5423. Mannlicher designed one in 1885, but it never went past prototype stage. This is the earliest serial production semiauto rifle I am aware of.
    7
  5424. It was intentional.
    7
  5425. It varies from 35 to 65 pounds - or 88 for Nightmare.
    7
  5426. I felt the same way talking to friends who were buying machine guns before 86...
    7
  5427. +egdarious When I find one, I will definitely do video on it.
    7
  5428. littlegrabbiZZ9PZA When you rotate the bolt handle down, it locks into a slot in the barrel that prevents it from opening when fired.
    7
  5429. The seal is provided by the brass cartridge case.
    7
  5430. I have and I enjoyed it a lot. I have a review video coming.
    7
  5431. On the one hand, I would say we'd sure as hell better. On the other hand, few thing would make me happier than to have HMG ship me an StG tomorrow...
    7
  5432. PC; I don't own a television.
    7
  5433. The same reason car engines don't - three rings with staggered gaps provide a much more effective gas seal while still allowing the piston to move freely.
    7
  5434. http://hill80.com/team/robin-schafer/
    7
  5435. Actually those are Varusteleka’s Tactical Jeans
    7
  5436. +mattorama No, the ammo was similar enough to be interchangeable.
    7
  5437. Sorry, but I didn't have a chance to do that one on this trip.
    7
  5438. My interest is primarily military arms from about 1880-1960.
    7
  5439. +Rl Badger It functions.

  5443. Contact Chipotle Publishing and ask them how to order in the UK: https://www.chipotlepublishing.com/contact.cfm
    7
  5444. Actually, that is from last month, when I shot the Star 1914. The scores aren't posted yet for this one.
    7
  5445. +πr8ofdintrwebz No, it does not.
    7
  5446. No, there are a couple hundred in the US.
    7
  5447. The other possibilities are pre-May and post-May dealer samples.
    7
  5448. Yep, it's on the list.
    7
  5449. Yup, that's who it is.
    7
  5450. It probably ought to be the Enfield Inch.
    7
  5451. +KnorpelDelux I think you could. Good luck actually pulling it off with all that recoil going on, though.
    7
  5452. Nope, just when you pull the trigger and it goes clunk instead of bang.
    7
  5453. Minimal. A few people own them to make money, but the substantial majority are truly passionate enthusiasts who would love to see the NFA repealed or at least lessened. Pretty much everyone in the business end would be better off, as increased volume would far outweigh a reduction in margin.
    7
  5454. "We considered fair and decided against it"
    7
  5455. I thought that was Garand Thumb!?
    7
  5456. What is goofy (to me) is making an airsoft replica of a rifle that is useful from 500-2500 yards, when the airsoft version has a maximum range a tiny fraction of that. I get airsoft, I've enjoyed it as a force on force training tool, but I would personally stick to replicas of weapons you can actually use as designed.
    7
  5457. So...you are one of the SI Taliban then? :)
    7
  5458. I've seen them; haven't used one.
    7
  5459. Not for this one, because the threading doesn't extend past the muzzle. They could have been made to accommodate suppressors if someone wanted it that way, though.

    7
  5461. The sergeant is stopping you from doing that.
    7
  5462. +Costantino Andruzzi The big difference is that the Breda stuffs the empty cases back into the strips, unlike the strip-fed Hotchkiss type guns.
    7
  5463. No, I would say that the MG42 is preferable to the Type 92.
    7
  5464. Often...
    7
  5465. Nope, no trouble for that.
    7
  5466. Why?
    7
  5467. We shot 1/2" plate.
    7
  5468. Pain, that's why.
    7
  5469. The one that comes to mind is 6.5 Creedmoor, which IIRC was pointless and just a ripoff of .260 Remington and also underpowered.
    7
  5470. That was the click of the trigger resetting.
    7
  5471. Slowly working on that, too. ;)
    7
  5472. Like I said, underappreciated.
    7
  5473. You probably saw it on Full30.
    7
  5474. All of this is already well known among anyone who would be making fakes.
    7
  5475. Stetson
    7
  5476. The Timney trigger is the same price as the Heckfire, which now makes me wonder about your other claims.
    7
  5477. I suspect they did it to convince their own supporters that they are strong and self-sufficient.
    7
  5478. I will - I filmed it on this trip, just haven't gotten a publication date set yet.
    7
  5479. My 20s worked with 124gr ammo, but not the 147gr I planned to use in the match,.
    7
  5480. I built it from a parts kit, yes.
    7
  5481. The CETME-L doesn't lock open when empty, so I was checking to see if I was out of ammo or if I had a failure to fire.
    7
  5482. Yes, I do have a strength training routine.

    7
  5485. +xXExpressYourselfXx Depends on thickness. In general, though, small and fast bullets are much better at penetrating armor than large and slow ones.
    7
  5486. Every division is Night Desert Camo division if you have Night Desert Camo.
    7
  5487. Standard twist is cheaper and easier.
    7
  5488. In some ways, machine guns are actually easier to own in Europe than in the US.
    7
  5489. Hey you didn't watch to the end :-(
    7
  5490. It's in the queue. South Africa video will be spread out over probably 6-8 months.
    7
  5491. They're in the queue once this RIA series finishes. They will be spread over 6-8 months.
    7
  5492. It's a big room, and I was trying (successfully!) to avoid getting a lot of echo in the audio.
    7
  5493. There isn't one going on at the moment. Next up will be a James D Julia auction in mid April; video from there will begin in a few weeks.
    7
  5494. Nope, didn;t get invited.
    7
  5495. YouTube will demonetize the video if I don't blur it. Complain to them, not me.
    7
  5496. In normal use, the gun ejects cases automatically. The owner here had disabled the ejection in order to preserve the brass - that's why the manual unloading was necessary.
    7
  5497. Nope, no prompter.
    7
  5498. Tanks, no. But they would probably still be reasonably effective on things like M113 APCs that are still in use in many places.

  5501. As far as I know, he is not. His channel basically everything YouTube wanted to turbo-ban, all in one convenient package.
    7
  5502. X is 10.
    7
  5503. +Riazor1370 That would require also replacing or modifying the bolt and magazine and sights. All of which would require developing new tooling, while the dies and jigs for the K98 were already right there and well understood.
    7
  5504. +miceryt111 Midwest Metal. I have never heard a negative comment on them from anybody who owns one.
    7
  5505. December
    7
  5506. +Slade Darklighter Yes, it was.
    7
  5507. Yes, but it would overheat quickly.
    7
  5508. Same recoil; same noise.
    7
  5509. I took Tony Neophytou's advice, and sat down until the feeling passed. :)
    7
  5510. If you are going to make a claim like that, please support it with specific reasons you think the rifle is not legitimate.
    7
  5511. Not really.
    7
  5512. No, the gas port would be on the wrong side.
    7
  5513. This is the full version, which includes a question YouTube flagged it for. I was fighting that until the very last minute, so I made a version without the question. They unflagged the full version just after I published the shortened one.
    7
  5514. John Ratko This is a bit of an oversimplification, but Julia focuses on having items with higher individual values, and RIA focuses on hiving a larger volume of items. Julia has a higher proportion of very high-end sporting arms that don't tend to get my attention. In addition, Julia does two gun auctions per year (and also works with several other areas - glassware, arts, etc) while RIA does 5 auctions per year (three premiere and two regional).
    7
  5515. It felt pretty good, actually.
    7
  5516. If I come across one, I will. The M28/76 should be relatively simple to find here in the US, and is very similar.
    7
  5517. Production economics dictate reality.
    7
  5518. 7.62x38 is rimmed, and also a revolver cartridge.
    7
  5519. ***** FYI, on last night's episode of Sons of Guns (season 5, episode 9) I was able to fire a reproduction Bigot. They got some very good slow-motion footage of it, if you're interested.
    7
  5520. Working on it...
    7
  5521. That is what it looks like... ;)
    7
  5522. There is no such thing as a 91/31.
    7
  5523. AdrenalineJunkieXL Nope, happens too fast to have any impact on a followup shot.
    7
  5524. You realize it was not a confiscation, right?
    7
  5525. +anter176 It actually does make a noticeable difference.
    7
  5526. Yes, we can definitely agree on that.
    7
  5527. You are correct. But the name of the pistol has become interchangeable with its city of origin, much like Springfield MA and the M1903 rifle.
    7
  5528. Approximately 7% of Type 94 production was in 1945.
    7
  5529. No reason you can't.
    7
  5530. I use specific tribal identities when possible, but as a catch-all inclusive term "Indians" is what our culture uses. It's not offensive, and more than "Yank" as a catch-all for Americans isn't offensive despite being mostly inaccurate, geographically.
    7
  5531. We tried; the bag was too heavy for the shoulder strap friction buckle to hold. :)
    7
  5532. Unsafe? How so?
    7
  5533. ***** Rimfire conversion is very simple - this particular cylinder has already been converted.
    7
  5534. They are only once per week. While I know that they are not the most popular content with some of the audience, I think it is important to help promote the scholarship and research that goes into writing books like this.
    7
  5535. There is no significance to it; just a symbol to represent passage of time. Nine o'clock is where the hands are readily visible.
    7
  5536. There was a carbine version of the Gewehr 98 in German service, it's just very rare today.
    7
  5537. Es la verdad.
    7
  5538. +M16A2 .223rem Open.
    7
  5539. Alas, the range hosting DB this year does not allow rifle rounds larger than 7.62x39/.300 Blk. Hopefully next year!
    7
  5540. Hermann Historica was mistaken - that was not made by Langenhan; it is one of these Chinese pistols.
    7
  5541. Glad you like 'em! The new gear is all thanks to you guys.
    7
  5542. I would say "occasionally unavailable" rather than "unicorn". My local shop usually has it on the shelf. You want "unicorn" ammo, try finding fodder for a French Mle 1873 or German Reichsrevolver.
    7
  5543. +Carl Ekman Lol...I don't support politicians. :)
    7
  5544. It has to be semi auto to imported into the US for civilian sale.
    7
  5545. I've only handled one, and didn't have a chance to film it. They will be in my book, though.
    7
  5546. Finland started using the swastika as a military symbol in 1918, many years before the Nazis existed.
    7
  5547. They are more expensive than typical refurbished 91/30s, but not too hard to find.
    7
  5548. Well, I never claim to speak Czech.
    7
  5549. There will be later this month.
    7
  5550. It certainly wouldn't be the worst option in WW1.
    7
  5551. +Privatekillah Yes, adding a stock to a gun with a barrel less than 16" long makes is a "short barreled rifle" by law, and thus it must be registered. However, a handful of guns have been exempted from this law, primarily early pistols when used with original-manufacture stocks. The C96 is one of those guns that is exempt.
    7
  5552. Yes, Zeiss made scopes for some of the FG-42s.
    7
  5553. Well, it's a really easy choice for me: the FG42, because I'm left handed. If I was right handed, it would be a much difficult decision - I would probably go with a .280 EM2 first with the FG42 in close second place and the 7.62 NATO EM2 in third.
    7
  5554. Max is not involved in this book. I have not spoken to him directly since the war began, as he was threatened with prosecution by the FSB if he worked with us.
    7
  5555. Yep, it's on the list to do a video eventually.
    7
  5556. +Jeremy Garner Good luck!
    7
  5557. It's about the same as the Kriss Vektor...
    7
  5558. The best AR references I am aware of are the "Black Rifle" series by Collector Grade.
    7
  5559. You just note in the paperwork that it has no serial number. This is not a big deal; it happens fairly regularly with old .22s and shotguns made prior to 1968, when serial numbers became mandatory.
    7
  5560. No, it had nothing to do with recoil. The first pattern of flash hider tended to break prongs off. The A1 connected the prongs together to strengthen them. The A2 filled in the vent holes in the bottom, to reduce dust signature when fired prone.
    7
  5561. No.
    7
  5562. +Reid Templeton Nope, it did that for you.
    7
  5563. +Microzombie M1917 for the rifle and at this point, probably either a Luger or 1907 Roth-Steyr for the pistol.
    7
  5564. +M. Paulsen Thanks!
    7
  5565. I have no idea, but I would like to.
    7
  5566. ***** Exactly.
    7
  5567. We did a short video on the Panzershreck, but I haven't posted it yet.
    7
  5568. He was supposed to attend but couldn’t, so they made the pillow in his place
    7
  5569. Yes! Although I have to point out that anyone still can buy a suppressor today, just with a long wait, tax, and paperwork.
    7
  5570. I suspect the main pin in the frame helps keep the cam from moving around when the gun cycles, and thus prevents it from getting beaten up too badly. There are certainly other ways that could be accomplished, though.
    7
  5571. Fusee spring tension was too tight in these clips. They got it properly adjusted later on, but I didn't get video of that.
    7
  5572. Nope.
    7
  5573. Continsouza only manufactured receivers, not actual guns. Their receivers were sent to the main state arsenals for assembly into complete rifles.
    7
  5574. I'm working on it - stay tuned! :)
    7
  5575. Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9e3UCcU00TTfQquL0MjomFiXIUlaZGm3
    7
  5576. It's definitely a historic gun, and I would very much like to have one. When that will happen, though, I don't know.
    7
  5577. rights_vs_wrong That is a good idea, especially in light of my having a high speed camera. :)
    7
  5578. IAMDRMERVRENBARRON Just trying to make my regular videos look better by comparison.
    7
  5579. Yes, the headspacing was very haphazard - finding them today with up to 30 thou of excess headspace is not uncommon. However, between the low chamber pressure and the wartime steel-cased ammo, this never created a practical problem.
    7
  5580. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0wzi6qaoVQ
    7
  5581. The fully automatic version of the Mini-14 is the Ruger AC-556.
    7
  5582. Thanks!
    7
  5583. An M27 trials rifle in 7.5mm.
    7
  5584. +DeWolf33 The Volcanic is quite small.
    7
  5585. 9x19 - all the German military ones were.
    7
  5586. Most of the carbine division uses 9mm ARs of various flavors. Lever actions are unheard of (limited ammo capacity and way too slow to reload). There is a small spattering of CZ Scorpions and maybe HKs.
    7
  5587. Here you go :) https://youtu.be/rCIoNzuO7a8
    7
  5588. It was semiauto.
    7
  5589. Myth and Reality of the Ross MkIII Rifle
    7
  5590. It has to be there to provide a mounting point for the muzzle booster, because of the recoil operation of the Maxim.
    7
  5591. Because we were using MG34 belts instead of proper Maxim belts.
    7
  5592. I just haven't had the chance to film it yet.
    7
  5593. The Dreyse did leak some gas, but because of its nested-cone design the gas goes forward, not towards the shooter. One of the most interesting solutions of the time was a platinum ring in the breech face to expand under pressure - Sharps did that, as did one of the prototype competitors to the Chassepot.
    7
  5594. I'm about to publish a book that will ruin my ability to get good deals on French rifles people don't properly recognize, so I feel your pain.
    7
  5595. Thanks!
    7
  5596. Lose them. I know of two people who had fingers amputated by these.
    7
  5597. No, that would be this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG1DoHPAaRA
    7
  5598. This 105mm self-propelled howitzer: http://jamesdjulia.com/item/3033-394/
    7
  5599. Yes, we can own these. Basicall you go through a Federal background check, pay $200, and wait 5-9 months.
    7
  5600. That's a clod of dirt it dug up when it hit the ground.
    7
  5601. We would love to, but there were too many hurdles to offer it at the same time as the English version. If we can arrange a retailer who is interested in stocking and shipping a Chinese-language version, we will definitely pursue that opportunity.
    7
  5602. Any rifle in .308 or 7.62mm NATO.
    7
  5603. You are wrong in asserting that an interest in the guns requires adoption of the political structure that used them. If you were correct, then all the guys collecting American WW2 small arms would be big fans of FDR and the New Deal. Destroying WW2 German artifacts because they were bad is the same mindset that the Taliban uses to destroy other peoples' religious monuments. It's history and it doesn't hurt anyone, and destroying it because you don't like the history is a really bad idea.
    7
  5604. I think the full auto ones are made largely because Dittrich wants them himself. Wouldn't you, if you were in his position?
    7
  5605. WWSD carbine and Laugo Alien.
    7
  5606. The plan is to ultimately have six main volumes (US, USSR, UK, Germany, Italy, Japan) and then one additional volume with some of the occupied countries (France, Poland, Belgium, etc).
    7
  5607. Partly cost of attending, partly risk of employees getting covid, and partly a current lack of need for the publicity that a show like SHOT offers.
    7
  5608. Sorry, but no there isn't.
    7
  5609. Maybe I'm biased a little, but I think it sure is! 😆
    7
  5610. Tony King Cool - thanks!
    7
  5611. It should be up now, sorry
    7
  5612. Rufus Chucklebutty Not that I'm aware of. Using it as an expedient to require less rotation of the striker plate to fire each barrel does make good sense, though.
    7
  5613. Correct, no cartridge Starrs. Hair down vs hair back is just a daily whim. :)
    7
  5614. I would never approve of someone docking a dog's ears - but that doesn't mean I wouldn't give the dog a loving home.
    7
  5615. Gahlok12 A friend of mine is working on making commercial copies of several late-war German rifles, starting with the VG1-5. You can follow his progress at www.GunLab.net if you're interested.
    7
  5616. Yes, they are reproductions. They were made privately, though, and not for commercial sale.
    7
  5617. Yes.
    7
  5618. I have a video on them filmed but not published yet. :)
    7
  5619. No and no, unfortunately.
    7
  5620. theeradicater1 .32 ACP
    7
  5621. It's a schützen front grip (which has no place on a sniper's rifle).
    7
  5622. Jan Suchánek It appears to be a K98k rail welded on in the field by a German armorer. Repro ZF41 mounts don't quite fit, because it is the early configuration of rail. Definitely one of the most interesting aspects to this particular rifle for me!
    7
  5623. This channel and web site. :)
    7
  5624. So that it can be legally owned.
    7
  5625. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI3x30iamHc
    7
  5626. That's exactly what this rifle is; a civilian made precision bolt action rifle with specific high quality components.
    7
  5627. The Astra is substantially different from the C96 internally.
    7
  5628. Square inch. Clever, eh? :)
    7
  5629. +Muhammad Najmi They are not illegal, just registered Federally.
    7
  5630. +drake0145 The 1920s happened!
    7
  5631. They were probably able to write it off for a nice tax benefit.
    7
  5632. The goal is to reduce weight by making the lower out of polymer instead of aluminum. That requires redesigning the receiver to be stronger, primarily as the buffer tube, and CavArms did that by integrating the grip and stock as a single piece.
    7
  5633. Nope, not carbon fiber.
    7
  5634. +zendell37 They required non-trivial modification to the rifles, and people weren't really interested in that sort of device anyway.
    7
  5635. Aravzil Because the ad-based revenue on Full30 is far, far better for us.
    7
  5636. ***** I would take a Type 94 over the LHC in a microsecond.
    7
  5637. AOW is $5; DD is $200.
    7
  5638. I wish I could, but the range there doesn't allow full auto. :(
    7
  5639. No, then they would make me do real work!
    7
  5640. +Perktube1 Ah - yep, I saw that one. I am not an employee of Rock Island, though - I just get to do video there.
    7
  5641. No.
    7
  5642. I already have, and posted the high speed on Facebook. :) I will do proper video once I have a clip for it.
    7
  5643. Oops. done.
    7
  5644. It's a recoil operated gun, so there needs to be something at the end of the barrel to support it and hold the booster.
    7
  5645. In this case, the L stands for "luft", or aerial.
    7
  5646. In theory, but no military ever used them.
    7
  5647. It's exactly the right flag. That is the flag of the Republic of China, which controlled mainland China in the 20s and 30s.
    7
  5648. No, not that I am aware of.
    7
  5649. Myth and Reality of the Ross MkIII Rifle
    7
  5650. I would say more of a reference, unless you are really particularly interested in the L85.
    7
  5651. Nothing at all. :)
    7
  5652. Import mark.
    7
  5653. Taurevanime The shot of the casing standing on the recoil rails is just the empty case. I included that clip to give some size perspective because I didn't get a video clip of the live round being loaded.
    7
  5654. Stick around for tomorrow's video :)
    7
  5655. The same reason we have them on cars. Noise pollution is an unnecessary and unhealthy hazard.
    7
  5656. "Being cold, hungry, wet, tired, etc and still completing the mission" - I think this IS the fun part for some people...
    7
  5657. +Rawsilver No, they hardly even used it in WWI.
    7
  5658. +Петр Плешанов Modern Russia rounds have inertial safeties, yes. Many of the rockets used in the Middle East are not Russian, though, and lack basic safety mechanisms.
    7
  5659. No, I don't think there is a significant different in power between the experimental 41mm case and the final 39mm case.
    7
  5660. +technoviking1975 eberhart This one was made in California. it's a reproduction. There are also .32 and .380 caliber copies made by Erma, in Germany.
    7
  5661. Nick Galbraith They do have an MG08 in this auction.
    7
  5662. Fixed it - thanks!
    7
  5663. That's chalk in the markings to highlight them - done by a collector at some point. Its a common practice and not permanent.
    7
  5664. Rock Island has a policy of not using gloves in their work, and I abide by my hosts' practices.
    7
  5665. Yep, that's one of the German reproductions. I hope to have a chance to shoot one sooner or later!
    7
  5666. $299k.
    7
  5667. Not sure I can definitively claim to know the reason, but 3-4x scopes were the standard for military snipers of this era. I think it's because they were more for what we'd called designated marksmen than snipers, and a low power scope gives a wider field of view and is perfectly serviceable for the anticipated engagement range of ~600m.
    7
  5668. Couldn't really say - I've never had a chance to shoot one, and they were issued on a pretty limited basis by the Swiss.
    7
  5669. It's a basic vertical post and horizontal line. I'm posting a manual for the rifle on Forgotten Weapons tomorrow, which has a picture of the reticule, if you're interested.
    7
  5670. Protecting the scope was definitely a major concern. The Swiss manuals covering the ZfK-55 explain that the scope is to be carried in a separate metal belt pouch, and only mounted on the rifle when shooting is imminent.
    7
  5671. Nope. You will sometimes hear things like "modern sporting rifle", but those are not recognized professionally and are just as political as "assault weapon", just from the opposite position.
    7
  5672. Palanca
    7
  5673. A cam inside the breech assembly.
    7
  5674. Yes, it would do that.
    7
  5675. Fauk G. Plaus I don't like the grip safety. These days, I'm more likely to be carrying a Star 30M anyway.
    7
  5676. Tax stamps never have to be renewed.
    7
  5677. Yes.
    7
  5678. I accidentally published the one without the shooting footage and didn't realize it until just now. Oops!
    7
  5679. Yes - the Spencer and Henry were used, among others less common.
    7
  5680. That is InRangeTV only.
    7
  5681. I brought home a wartime Coke bottle from a garbage dump.
    7
  5682. My secret trick: https://youtu.be/_0MD7_8AkNA
    7
  5683. I generally don't review books that I don't think are worth getting, at least for a specific interest group. I would rather use the time to promote good authors than denigrate poor ones.
    7
  5684. All gun prices are insane these days, if you haven't noticed.
    7
  5685. I added a direct link to one of his videos - not sure why the channel link isn't working for some people.
    7
  5686. Sandbags are legal...
    7
  5687. I am looking forward to your video!
    7
  5688. You assume I cleaned the rifle after the last range trip! 😆
    7
  5689. A round outside the group, often claimed to be the result of a bad trigger press or some other cause that shouldn't be held against the goal.
    7
  5690. polishjerk No, that was the Pedersen GY.
    7
  5691. Where's John Wick when you need him?
    7
  5692. Glad to be helpful! There is an article on the development of the AG42 at the Gothia Arms Historical Society (gotavapen dot se). The page is linked in the "research sites" link on the right sidebar of my main web site.
    7
  5693. No, they do not.
    7
  5694. I've handled that rifle, FWIW. :)
    7
  5695. 5.56 needs a slight curve, that's why AR 30-round mags have a bend in them.
    7
  5696. I suppose it depends on whether you define the system by the trigger or the hammer.
    7
  5697. None, at the time. They eventually chose the Krag, but went through 20+ years of different trials without choosing anything.
    7
  5698. I was not talking about recent Colt, I was talking about Colt in the 1840s.
    7
  5699. The FR8 was for reserve use as well as some training.
    7
  5700. Nope, I think it's just about the ugliest pistol I own. :)
    7
  5701. Tradition, concern about combat reliability, and cost were a few reasons. The Model 8 was the most expensive rifle Remington made for a long time.
    7
  5702. I have a Lantan video filmed already, just haven't posted it yet. ;)
    7
  5703. The scraping noise sounds way worse on camera than it actually was. I was using a plastic table, and there was no danger of damaging the guns, but my microphone did a great job picking up noise any time a gun touched the surface.
    7
  5704. Good catch - on the long-recoil Frommers and the Mars, the barrels stay in place when the bolts are manually pulled back. This design is a bit unusual in that opening the bolt manually will cycle the barrel.
    7
  5705. Not for competition purposes. Manually decocking the hammer on a live round is not considered a safe practice.
    7
  5706. Because YouTube has a fit if I talk about gunsmithing and modified guns. If they are actually Elbonian military issue, though, then no problem!
    7
  5707. Seamus Yes, I do. As soon as I find one...
    7
  5708. The problem, should there be one, comes from the mud getting pushed into the action as the weapon cycles. Betting a particle in between the bolt and barrel face will prevent it from going fully into battery. If this had been done with the bolt open, I have no doubt it would have immediately malfed (and so would most any other gun, too). But bolt closed and falling into mud seems to me to be the most likely real-world variation of this sort of thing.
    7
  5709. +hurstolds841 Neither, it was in a museum.
    7
  5710. The next series will be the Lebel, Berthier, MAS-36, and MAS 44 series.
    7
  5711. I'm not an audio engineer, and would rather spend my time on guns than on making flawless audio recordings. It's a one-man show here, so it won't ever look or sound like professional TV.
    7
  5712. We haven't gotten a Federov to the range yet, but it is definitely on the list of things we would like to do. Just a matter of finding one to use...
    7
  5713. If YouTube penalizes the word "Iran", I don't know about it. I used "Persian" because that's what the guns are called in the collecting community.
    7
  5714. They are getting really worn out and do not have good options for modular accessories like lasers and optics. The French Army is going to have to get new guns one way or another, and the manufacturing facility that originally made these no longer exists.
    7
  5715. Y'know, I literally explain that in the video...
    7
  5716. +AldanFerrox Cool!
    7
  5717. That video is what prompted them to ask me to be on the show. :)
    7
  5718. +Asher Davis Sweet! :)
    7
  5719. agentcrm They might; finding it might be difficult.
    7
  5720. No, we are only offering them through the kickstarter bundle here.
    7
  5721. +Scowler WWII German military things always bring a premium.
    7
  5722. It was actually the same rifle, but I did that so long ago I had simply forgotten about it.
    7
  5723. You get 5 videos/week that are not about Berthiers for the time being, I'm sure you will survive. :)
    7
  5724. When was the last time you kicked dirt into it?
    7
  5725. I suspect the latter.
    7
  5726. PTRS-41 and TK. Yes.
    7
  5727. Not yet but there will be.
    7
  5728. Marstar is licensed for prohibits guns and magazines.
    7
  5729. It is intended specifically for subscribers who want to financially support a channel, like Patreon but with native video hosting.
    7
  5730. They are equivalent for my purposes, so whichever you prefer. There are some perks on Patreon that you don't get on Floatplane, and vice versa. I expect InRange will also join once they are farther along in the Beta.
    7
  5731. Soooo....buy it right now?
    7
  5732. If you donated to the camera campaign, you got a code to watch this episode for free. And, of course, you got all the free Forgotten Weapons videos that I've been doing - and will continue to do - with those cameras.
    7
  5733. No, I did not.
    7
  5734. No. Cloest thing would be a Finnish Valmet m62 or m76 in 7.62x39.
    7
  5735. Yes, you are correct - I have not have a chance to look at one of those in person (yet).
    7
  5736. Most bolt action systems would be faster for me if they had the bolt handles on the left sides of the guns, but it's not something I think about much. They are what they are and it just takes practice to run them faster and better. Non-lefty-friendly safety catches on old pistols are more of a practical issue most of the time.
    7
  5737. Yeah, I'll be doing the Webley revolvers sooner or later.
    7
  5738. +thetriode The holes were there for a reason; so the assistant gunner could see the mag status and know when to reload.
    7
  5739. No, 7.65mm Mauser was a standard cartridge as well, used by the Belgian military among others.
    7
  5740. Can do.
    7
  5741. Maybe...
    7
  5742. Yep, that's the one! :)
    7
  5743. We're working on it :)
    7
  5744. You mean legally made full auto? No.
    7
  5745. They were experimental only; never actually fielded. I would probably take the M3.
    7
  5746. Yes.
    7
  5747. +Jeff Smith 20; it used the same mags as the regular M14s.
    7
  5748. The tour I personally led did not have much video - I was busy running it. The other one, which I was just a participant in, had a bunch of video.
    7
  5749. Yes, I can post whatever I like.
    7
  5750. +BattlefiendHrush The top, I believe.
    7
  5751. I believe the F is for feuer (fire) and the S is for sicher (safe). E on German rifles is for einfeuer, or single shot and D is for dauerfeuer, or multiple shots. Those are used on select-fire rifles, but the VG1-5 was semi only and thus doesn't need that distinction on its selector lever.
    7
  5752. They are removable, but not easily. You have to drive out the pins that hold the bolt into the upper tube.
    7
  5753. I am...
    7
  5754. +Whitpusmc Yes, that was a tactic.
    7
  5755. +Dieselhead I think you misunderstood. You only squeeze it to fire.
    7
  5756. +winstin win Yes, I expect at least a few would have seen use in the Spanish-American War and the Boxer Rebellion. Interestingly, in the Boxer Rebellion there were British sailors with Lee-Metfords, American Marines with Remington-Lees, and Chinese troops with Remington-Lees.
    7
  5757. I took the easy route, and have not attempted to weld anything since I did this back in 2017. :)
    7
  5758. Actually they worked for the French in between Germany and Spain.
    7
  5759. For a lanyard on the magazine.
    7
  5760. I don't have access to one for a video at the moment, but if I find myself in the same room as one I will definitely get some footage with it. :)
    7
  5761. No, they are mechanically unrelated. The best way to think of the EM-2 is as a bullpup version of the German G43 in .308.
    7
  5762. Happily, you can drop in a JP spring system in about 5 seconds of you want to. :)
    7
  5763. Sure, that works fine too. Personall I don't find vertical front grips all that comfortable, but lots of people do.
    7
  5764. Because computer games are not real.
    7
  5765. C&Rsenal.
    7
  5766. It's still in 8x50R Lebel.
    7
  5767. Yes, actually.
    7
  5768. I explain that in the video.
    7
  5769. It is, and it's original.
    7
  5770. Yep, that's one item I've been keeping an eye out for.
    7
  5771. +Adachi: Midnight Rapist Yes you need to open it up to reload, no, there is not chance of chainfire (because it uses rimfire metallic cartridges).
    7
  5772. No, McKinley was shot with a .32 Iver Johnson revolver. Some models of them were called "lemon squeezers" because of their grip safety - but these Chicago Palm guns were not related.
    7
  5773. Yes, it can.
    7
  5774. My only SAA is also an Uberti. :)
    7
  5775. Heh - not much of a useful trailer without that link, is it? Sorry! I just added the link to the description text.
    7
  5776. Coming in a week.
    7
  5777. No, I do not think so.
    7
  5778. You mean timeless, reliable, and a true sign of a connoisseur?
    7
  5779. Which I explain at the end of the video.
    7
  5780. It filled the exact same role as the Gatling.
    7
  5781. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyG6vobtUeI
    7
  5782. The lever throw is long enough that I think it would be difficult to operate it faster than the mechanism can cope with - but I didn't try to do so, or take a close look at the internals (this gun wasn't the focus of my time at the shoot).
    7
  5783. In this case, I expect Z88 parts would fit and function just fine in a Beretta 92.
    7
  5784. That doesn't sound like nearly as much fun.
    7
  5785. blogobre You may not have noticed, but my trailer/preview videos here never have advertising on them.
    7
  5786. I quite honestly do not understand this objection - can you elaborate? If you enjoy watching what I'm producing, why would  you object to a single additional click to see it? The advertising support is effectively identical both there and here, except that at Full30 it might be a company you're actually interested in - and it supports me much better. What does it matter to you, the viewer, which site it's on?
    7
  5787. Yes, the MAS is known for slam-firing with commercial ammo. It has a large free-floating firing pin - that's why. French military ammo uses hard and slightly recessed primers, and has no issues, but sometimes the gun can touch off soft-primered commercial or handloaded ammo. This one has a spring loaded firing pin in it (from Murray's Guns or Bowie TX) to prevent that possibility.
    7
  5788. +no name available French weapons of this era were typically used by one soldier until he was killed, and then picked up and used by another soldier, and another, and another. Frenchmen in WWI continued to fight bravely through conditions that would be incomprehensible to people today. Historically, they have been let down by leadership failures, not a lack of individual bravery and tenacity.
    7
  5789. It was developed in 1939, but not fielded in significant numbers until the Continuation War.
    7
  5790. That’s not low recoil; that’s Matt being really skilled with shotgun control. :)
    7
  5791. Even when I'm pretty comfortable with a particular gun, I always do research in advance to try to ensure that I get everything correct. :)
    7
  5792. Probably cheaper once you factor 5 years of pandemic inflation
    7
  5793. Nope.
    7
  5794. +skintrade Yes.
    7
  5795. The SAS used standard Vickers K guns, not this conversion.
    7
  5796. Pre-recall
    7
  5797. Yes, the spare barrel comes with a bolt and barrel extension already attached - much like the Madsen LMG. The whole assembly is removed through the back of the receiver. Not exactly "quick" change, but better than nothing.
    7
  5798. I did a video previously on the Volcanic and Henry - figured I would start from the Henry this time, since it is a series that will go all the way through the Model 1895.
    7
  5799. This one was originally sold to China, and cosmolined up there at some point before coming to the US. The outside finish is pretty good, but the rifling is in tragically poor condition.
    7
  5800. Those are blank firing adapters. They serve as a visual flag that the gun is not firing live ammo, and they will stop a live bullet should one be fired (although they will be destroyed in the process). Most importantly, they restrict the size of the muzzle to increase gas pressure and allow semiautomatics to function with blank ammo (normally it requires the pressure of a bullet being fired to cycle).
    7
  5801. It wasn't reliable and durable enough for general use.
    7
  5802. It wasn't obscure when they were building it.
    7
  5803. Gahlok12 Too expensive to make, and not enough potential buyers.
    7
  5804. Nope, not an RIA employee.
    7
  5805. Karine Mallet Not quite. The Pedersen is a delayed blowback mechanism, while the LMG25 (and the Luger, for that matter) are short-recoil actions. Meaning that these guns are unlocked by the barrel moving backwards, while the Pedersen has a fixed barrel.
    7
  5806. Indeed you should have been...I was! :)
    7
  5807. We flew in via Fiji; flights to and from Honiara (Henderson Field) are limited and it took about 48 hours total transit time each way.
    7
  5808. Different auction company.
    7
  5809. Yep, I meant windage and goofed.
    7
  5810. Yes - they have a magnificent selection of high end sporting arms, among other things. But for my interests, the Confederate stuff and the machine guns are the top priorities.
    7
  5811. +bowmanruto Mostly things like bayonet mounts and grenade launching capability, where the guns needed to fit the other equipment the buyers already had.
    7
  5812. Not a chance. :)
    7
  5813. Tell Othais and Mae. :)
    7
  5814. Visual quality. Canfield's book is an excellent resource, and I highly recommend it, especially for collectors. But it doesn't compare to this book in terms of photo quality and presentation.
    7
  5815. I will take a look...
    7
  5816. Sauer used a small amount of forced labor, mostly Eastern Europeans paid less than the German workers. The numbers varied between facilities, but it was about 10% of their workforce.
    7
  5817. That would substantially reduce the range.
    7
  5818. +Patrick Williams https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2012/3/5/garand-name-pronunciation-who-s-right/
    7
  5819. I got one in a batch of mags and part from Rock Island Auction Co and one from a gun shop.
    7
  5820. No.
    7
  5821. Yes.
    7
  5822. That was an FN FNC.
    7
  5823. I am 5 hours ahead of you.
    7
  5824. Yes, it is the original barrel. This one was very nice, kit barrels varied a lot depending on country and how much use the particular guns had.
    7
  5825. Their US importer gave me a pistol, and I bought a second one at full price. That’s it.
    7
  5826. The very first prototype was, but the production guns were in 9mm. A few guns for testing were also made in .32ACP, .45 ACP, and .38 S&W (see my main blog article for details).
    7
  5827. Yes, it has a spring.
    7
  5828. It's unlikely any significant number were captured by Russia. In the Winter War, the Russians didn't capture much at all, and in the Continuation War the Swedish rifles saw less frontline action. For other guns, the evidence of Russia capture its a flat reparkerizing and an "X" mark - that's on guns that were kept in Russian inventory and refurbished, like K98ks, P38s, and vis35s.
    7
  5829. +bitfreakazoid The threat of trade sanctions from the government of the country they are copying from. Governments tend to have a vested interest in the large companies in their borders. OTOH, ask China.
    7
  5830. It would be so cool if that were true...
    7
  5831. Well, you can watch the auction results for these two in a week and a half or so...
    7
  5832. Oh no! Anyway...
    7
  5833. Thanks!
    7
  5834. http://www.ballisticsbytheinch.com/45auto.html
    7
  5835. tek1lla It has two locking lugs, and a third "safety" lug to prevent a worst-case failure.
    7
  5836. +Gahlok12 No, they are exempt.
    7
  5837. If and when I can get my hands on one, you bet.
    7
  5838. You cannot have modern style mag release control with an AK mag. And 7.62x39mm mag made to fit AR15 magazine wells will never work well. A new magazine design like this is the best solution.
    7
  5839. Probably all of the above.
    7
  5840. Actually, both videos were entirely CGI.
    7
  5841. +davidgcalderone For distribution to people who don't know :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10td_zRPlao
    7
  5842. Not very. Think H&K VP-70, or a staple gun.
    7
  5843. It doesn't do anything better, and that's why it was such a commercial failure.
    7
  5844. I was right though, the Haenel has not been adopted...
    7
  5845. Michael King No, that was a different design, developed by Mauser.
    7
  5846. No. Use proper Glisenti ammunition.
    7
  5847. I know a very small number were originally made, but I have seen period photos showing them. Not in combat, but given the state of things at the end of the war I'm sure they were used, if only for a short time.
    7
  5848. Unfortunately, I had a sample rifle for the review and returned it to SMG after I did the video, so I have not done any additional shooting with it.
    7
  5849. Steyr GB video is coming soon...Daewoo K2 at some point.
    7
  5850. No. The Japanese did use a Type 94 37mm gun in tanks, but it was a different gun that was adopted the same year.
    7
  5851. In my experience, having a proper one-off magazine made, that actually works, will cost $1000-$2000.
    7
  5852. Keep in mind it was originally designed for the iron sights - with those you have a good cheek weld.
    7
  5853. Here's a live fire demo of it: https://youtu.be/wS4C9NMV0cE
    7
  5854. I should have mentioned that - it's the hardened remains of a rubber case deflector.
    7
  5855. Not illegal at all.
    7
  5856. Blowback is only really practical for 9x18 Makarov and lighter cartridges, and most modern guns are chambered for 9x19 or heavier cartridges.
    7
  5857. +Chad Hagen No, although there are replica Colt-Burgess rifles made.
    7
  5858. RIA is in Illinois.
    7
  5859. Nope, they are live guns. I don't know the details of the licensing required to own them in Belgium, but Cornet & Co had a whole bunch of excellent machine guns for sale when we were there - these two, plus a Dror, Finnish Maxim, Schwarzlose, Brens, 1910 Russian Maxims, and a Swiss LMG-25.
    7
  5860. Yes. Like the Bren and Nambu guns, the sights on the Vickers-Berthier are offset to the side of the magazine.
    7
  5861. The increased surface area on the barrel allowed it to cool more effectively. That is a fairly common design element on older air-cooled machine guns.
    7
  5862. Berdan.
    7
  5863. No, I have never been in the military.
    7
  5864. +Grarder The bolt on an MP41 could be called telescoping, yes. It has the recoil spring completely shrouded, and telescopes closed when it cycles. The Uzi bolt wrap around the barrel to move its bulk forward and shorten the receiver, an idea which came from the CZ 23/24/25/26 series of submachine guns.
    7
  5865. Well, one of them DQ'd...
    7
  5866. J'apprende un peu plus chaque jour...
    7
  5867. None actually exist.
    7
  5868. Never got used; the war ended first.
    7
  5869. And we have photos of it, along with Boothroyd's Berns-Martin holster. :)
    7
  5870. That is part of the Great Seal of the US. It is 13 stars representing the original 13 colonies, and the symmetrical way to arrange 13 items is a 6-pointed star. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Seal_of_the_United_States
    7
  5871. As the description notes, my original video incorrectly described 37mm legality in the US. I realized that early, and opted to fix and reupload the video since it was so early.
    7
  5872. https://youtu.be/07zayhBzujU
    7
  5873. I think this is a perfect time to present rational, factual, and nonpartisan information on something that is of relevance at the moment to a lot of people.
    7
  5874. I think this is a perfect time to present rational, factual, and nonpartisan information on something that is of relevance at the moment to a lot of people.
    7
  5875. I can either say it myself or listen to it in the comments until the end of time. :)
    7
  5876. Working on it; we will have it up in a week or two.
    7
  5877. Yup, we will definitely be doing that again.
    7
  5878. kp/44 video is coming.
    7
  5879. Do you have any documentation of that theory?
    7
  5880. Nukle0n I do appreciate the patience in helping me get it right - I will be doing a video on a .32 Schouboe in a couple weeks, so it will be useful. Thanks!
    7
  5881. That video is coming in a couple weeks.
    7
  5882. IIRC, it's in the video on the No.3 . Sorry.
    7
  5883. That pistol is a P38 made to look like a Bergmann by the props department.
    7
  5884. They have gotten so bad we really have no choice.
    7
  5885. Sorry - I have no control over the ads.
    7
  5886. Full30 is better for me. Thanks!
    7
  5887. +Peter Lindsey You can find them on eBay.
    7
  5888. When there is a perceptible delay between when the firing pin hits the primer and when the round fires. Sounds like "click...BANG". Tends to happen on older poorly-stored ammo, and 8mm Lebel is particularly notorious for it.  The potential danger is if you hear the click, figure it's a dud round, and have the bolt partially open when it does fire. Then the brass case acts like a grenade and pieces of brass shrapnel (and maybe rifle) go everywhere.
    7
  5889. Well, that's why they retrofitted a ton of Berthiers to 5-round magazines starting in 1916.
    7
  5890. Devon Ziegler This is an urban legend, and did not actually happen. The problems with it are (1) being able to hear a clip ejecting on the other side of the battlefield, (2) reloading an M1 takes no more than 2-3 seconds for even a poorly trained soldier, which is not enough time to conceivably charge anyone, and (3) there was virtually never just a single US soldier somewhere - when one guy ran empty his buddies still had loaded rifles.
    7
  5891. Yes, we have a pledge level specifically for European delivery
    7
  5892. I do.
    7
  5893. The only fee involved is the $200 NFA transfer tax. But there are very few registered and transferable examples, so the price for one will be pretty steep.
    7
  5894. Cheesypotato24 It's a kinda awkward ay to hold the gun. I don't think it would be any more stable than what I'm doing here.
    7
  5895. Yes, they absolutely did.
    7
  5896. No bayonet included, sorry.
    7
  5897. RIA has a policy of not using gloves, so when I'm there I don't either.
    7
  5898. I use the flag from the time and place where the gun was invented. It just happens that most Spanish small arms development took place under fascists.
    7
  5899. Gorilla has one, Q makes the Fix in 8.6, and I'm sure there are others.
    7
  5900. The bayonets used on these were of the socket type.
    7
  5901. No, the Lebel was based on the Kropatschek.
    7
  5902. They did not want to be in the video.
    7
  5903. They have arrived at the warehouse, and will ship as soon as Basilisk gets in.
    7
  5904. Depends which Christmas... ;)
    7
  5905. It's regional, and both pronunciations are correct.
    7
  5906. Spoiler in the title, but only if you speak Estonian. :)
    7
  5907. You realize I do a video every day, and have for over a year, right?
    7
  5908. Just a normal flannel shirt.
    7
  5909. No.
    7
  5910. Most gun shows prohibit filming, so it would probably not be feasible.
    7
  5911. No, my girlfriend would get all frowny if I did. :)
    7
  5912. It's a shield to protect the gas system.
    7
  5913. +TestECull Good luck!
    7
  5914. If it's an original (1930s or earlier, IIRC) stock, it is exempted from the NFA, but putting a reproduction stock on the same pistol does legally create an SBR.
    7
  5915. eariamjh71 Glad you enjoy them!
    7
  5916. You saw the roller locked video.
    7
  5917. Not really.
    7
  5918. The Collector Grade book "Sturmgewehr".
    7
  5919. The Holek brothers had the advantage of a decade's more experience when they designed the ZB (which became the Bren), while Browning was breaking new ground in many ways. The evolution of the BAR (into the FN model D) made it a far better gun, but the US military decided to stick to the old version. As for .30-06 versus .303, it's totally irrelevant in this context. They both do the job just fine.
    7
  5920. Heh...you did miss something. :) The Bren fires from an open bolt, so one does not chamber a round before firing. The bolt is locked open, and when you pull the trigger it moves forward, strips a round from the magazine into the chamber, and immediately fires it.

  5921. The problem is that this piece of information is simply not true. I have heard plenty of other things on the same sort of authority (a friend heard it from someone in the military) that the Type 38 Arisaka is chambered for .25ACP, that the Russians developed 7.62x54 so they could also use captured 7.62 NATO ammo, that being hit in the finger with a .50 BMG will blow you apart, etc.
    7
  5922. Similar, yes, but I wouldn't say virtually identical.
    7
  5923. Actually, it's a Polish paratrooper's knife.
    7
  5924. It's chambered for 7x57 Mauser.
    7
  5925. Nope, didn't even notice that it was there.
    7
  5926. The gun's owner did not want the serial number shown.
    7
  5927. Huge chunky sideplates instead of stamped sheet metal, for one.
    7
  5928. Sounds Bavarian. Nice!
    7
  5929. Julia's has it estimated at $30k-$50k.
    7
  5930. Czech 7.62x54R light ball.
    6
  5931. This is a Vickers in WWII configuration, not quite correct for C&Rsenal.
    6
  5932. I decided that it was an obsolete relic from television, and not necessary.
    6
  5933. Single-feed double-stack mags are hard to load because you are pushing rounds into the mag and also forcing a single column to split into two columns.
    6
  5934. The shot is out the muzzle long before the barrel begins moving forward. The barrel has its own recoil spring separate from the bolt (which is typical for long recoil systems). In this case, the barrel has a fixed ring that slides on the magazine tube, and the barrel spring is wrapped around the magazine underneath the handguard (the bolt's spring is behind it, going down into the stock).
    6
  5935. We have a section specifically about that...
    6
  5936. It is on indefinite delay on account of the diplomatic sanctions situation.
    6
  5937. For people who think that removing the magazine renders the gun empty. A magazine safety stops them from accidentally shooting themselves with the chambered round.
    6
  5938. +Frank Dantuono 4+1, IIRC.
    6
  5939. Maybe the purpose is education and not arbitrary subscriber numbers?
    6
  5940. Sure: https://youtu.be/8mJG-s9WRIU
    6
  5941. They never put the new design into production during the war, and then didn't have the money to do so in the 20s or 30s.
    6
  5942. Je parle un petit peu...j'apprends plus chaque jour.
    6
  5943. Sorry - I have no control over the ads.
    6
  5944. J.L. Roberts I can't be 100% sure the chamber wasn't modified, but I would expect .56 Spencer centerfire - the same cartridge but with a centerfire primer. A bunch of Spencer rifles were also converted to the cartridge after the war.
    6
  5945. He loves the Stechkin. :)
    6
  5946. Yes, but I have no idea when it will be ready.
    6
  5947. Johnson LMG
    6
  5948. It was $13,530 for the carbine and $15,000 for the pike - which included the original signed letter from Brown ordering the pikes.
    6
  5949. It already sold, sorry
    6
  5950. The carbine sold for $13,530 and the pike head (which also included the original signed letter from Brown placing the order for the pikes) for $15,000.
    6
  5951. No - machine gun imports were cut off by the GCA in 1968. The Hughes amendment in 86 ended domestic production.
    6
  5952. +Nutz4Gunz45 Nope.
    6
  5953. Yes, it did - you can see a bunch of info on the Mars at my main website (ForgottenWeapons). It's the only other pistol I'm aware of to use this mechanism, although it's fairly common in belt-fed designs.
    6
  5954. No, Webleys will quite happily toss out live rounds.
    6
  5955. That flag is correct, because I use the flag from the time/place where the gun was developed.
    6
  5956. Goddam billshit!
    6
  5957. +zedirich7 Yes, but not easily.
    6
  5958. Yeah, these post-WW2 models are much more robust than the WW1 patterns.
    6
  5959. TacticalOwl7 The detents on a G3 mag that prevent over-insertion would hit on the FG magazine well and prevent it from going in far enough. The best solution, IMO, is to get an FG in 8mm. Those use ZB-26 mags which are reasonably available and very good quality.
    6
  5960. I think Louis Stange would approve.
    6
  5961. +munkSWE88 Pedersen first model (A, B, C, etc). It was actually the third, but intended to be the first of the commercial series of guns.
    6
  5962. For me, at least, they were never shut off, just reduced dramatically in quantity.
    6
  5963. The motto of Brutality is "we considered fair, and decided against it"
    6
  5964. You have to throw it that way. We've had too many people injure themselves using other methods.
    6
  5965. Next time, when we don't have to deal with covid restrictions.
    6
  5966. Yes. Meadow's book (U.S. Military Automatic Pistols Vol. III 1945 - 2012) has a bunch of information on the trials.
    6
  5967. Working on it - I definitely will at some point.
    6
  5968. https://youtu.be/LnHW3-aDP30
    6
  5969. There never will be more FAMAS rifles, because even if the ban goes away (which I don't see happening) they are not being made anymore. That's one of the major reasons France replaced them with the HK416 recently - the existing ones were getting really old and worn out, and the production is shut down.
    6
  5970. The Vektor SP1 is an excellent pistol. The locking block is a part that requires maintenance and inspection, both on them and on Italian original Berettas. These guns were abused in their country of origin, and that's why they have broken parts.
    6
  5971. I spent 6 years posting interesting things to ForgottenWeapons.com.
    6
  5972. The Austrian army considered them effective to 150 yards.
    6
  5973. We haven't shot one, but we do have a video posted disassembling one.
    6
  5974. I've never found the HK turret sight very usable, but the StG45 (M) has a normal post-and-notch setup.
    6
  5975. Back in my day we had actually LAN parties, where everyone brought their desktop machines to one person's house and connected a local wired network to play against each other. Durn kids.
    6
  5976. Yes - both are Finnish Army property marks (the tower being used after 1970).
    6
  5977. I asked nicely, and some of the folks at the museum are fans of the channel.
    6
  5978. Nope, there is noting insides the glove. The back of the hand is reinforced were the gun attaches, though. I suspect it would hold up fine for limited use, but hundreds of rounds would cause problems. Not that this thing was intended for anywhere near that amount of use...
    6
  5979. It is there to be physical exertion, and to incentivize strength.
    6
  5980. It's crappy steel case Russian ammo; it will eject erratically out of any gun because it's not loaded very consistently.
    6
  5981. I have a fun thing planned for the 1000th video. :)
    6
  5982. Entirely reasonable.
    6
  5983. The 1917 Burton/Winchester Light Machine Rifle perfectly fits the definition of "assault rifle"...
    6
  5984. The 1897 is a pump action shotgun. Not that it really makes a difference in a computer game...
    6
  5985. The Daewoo K2 and the AK-100 series, where the stocks are basically identical to the fixed pattern.
    6
  5986. Next week. :)
    6
  5987. It was my idea to start InRange with Karl, and I think he brings more to InRange than I do, to be honest. Sorry if you don't like his screen presence, but he brings valuable insight from a different perspective that mine.
    6
  5988. No, it did not have a changeable barrel.
    6
  5989. Sorry - reuploaded to fix a glitch.
    6
  5990. +GoredonTheDestroyer Yes, the Masterpiece Arms MPAR. It sucks.https://www.full30.com/video/d85e1a4105f3f2cb8398ef6fead1096a
    6
  5991. Here's my best Chris Costa: https://youtu.be/esLfkL4-Svc
    6
  5992. A polite guest does as his hosts request.
    6
  5993. The French began work on a new LMG immediately after the war, and had it ready for service in 1924. They wanted to get away form the 8mm Lebel cartridge and use a modern rimless round instead.
    6
  5994. The ,44 Merwin is basically unavailable, but .44-40 is made by a bunch of companies.
    6
  5995. elektro3000 Pretty similar - the single action trigger is very nice.
    6
  5996. The A1 was basically just a semi pistol grip stock on a regular 1903. I’ll cover them eventually.
    6
  5997. No, it is nothing like that.
    6
  5998. Thanks!
    6
  5999. For that money I would buy a Valmet instead.
    6
  6000. Oh, absolutely there are bigger and better books. The point of the Osprey series is for those subjects where you just want some background, or for folks who aren't (yet) hopeless gun geeks.
    6
  6001. If I survived Albuquerque, Johannesburg will not be a problem.
    6
  6002. It posts in 2 days.
    6
  6003. Learnings?
    6
  6004. YouTube doesn't allow it. Just do a quick google for Morphy Auctions.
    6
  6005. This information is readily available to anyone trying to pass a fake; I'm not revealing anything secret here. I'd rather help people understand what they are looking at that try to hide information.
    6
  6006. https://youtu.be/_hvgZ3qxzbw
    6
  6007. ***** They are both Mannlicher actions and magazines.
    6
  6008. It's a little bit heavy by modern standards, but not bulky.
    6
  6009. 125 grains at 2250 fps.
    6
  6010. No, there are locked-breech actions with fixed firing pins.
    6
  6011. +Sal sean It's a Steyr GB
    6
  6012. The book had all the gruesome details of this issue... :)
    6
  6013. Yes, a bunch of them.
    6
  6014. As a general rule, museums require gloves because of overarching museum policies (although guns don't really require gloves like other artifacts like paper do). Auction houses generally consider that gloves make people more likely to slip and drop things, which constitutes a greater risk. Whether I wear gloves on video is based on the policy of whatever institution is hosting me.
    6
  6015. Yes.
    6
  6016. It was when this was filmed.
    6
  6017. Yup
    6
  6018. My microphone setup does not properly represent gunshot noise. This is no quieter than 9.
    6
  6019. British Sniper first; I think the Lefaucheux book will be around and available longer. :)
    6
  6020. I don’t know if they ban guns, but they were not interested in letting me join when I asked.
    6
  6021. It's only for monthly subscriptions, not annual
    6
  6022. +Arnkæll I think I can pretty safely say no.
    6
  6023. It includes the chamber.
    6
  6024. If I can, I will.
    6
  6025. Yes, although I don't have a video on an original. Here's one on the 1980s import version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DDc0hXk0ws
    6
  6026. Fixed it, thanks.
    6
  6027. Different RIA - this is an auction company based in Illinois, while the RIA/Armscor that makes pistols is out of the Phillippines.
    6
  6028. There are Nagants made at Radom, but this is not one of them.
    6
  6029. Rimmed cartridges have been used in a few self-loading guns, like .22LR guns, .303 and 7.62x54R semiautos, and others. The magazines are more difficult to design than those for rimless cartridges, and there's typically no advantage to using rimmed rounds if you don't have to.
    6
  6030. I bought it from Varusteleka
    6
  6031. Is that why the chips are blue?
    6
  6032. Yep, their online catalog is not published yet. I will be updating the links once it is.
    6
  6033. I had lots of coaching :)
    6
  6034. thegeneral123 It is thanks to those people that Forgotten Weapons is now all in HD, and that I post a slow motion video every week (when I'm not doing auction house videos). And, of course, all the InRange content above and beyond that which is also all free on Full30. Like we said in the video, this is simply a separate option for people who want it.
    6
  6035. Technically, .30 Super Carry is below the minimum caliber threshold of 9x19.
    6
  6036. So crazy it just might work...
    6
  6037. We have tried this a couple times; the hand warmers don't do much to the steel, don;'t last very long, and we have yet to find a tape that will keep them in place on targets in the cold and under impact from shots.
    6
  6038. Actually, I was looking at that - converting the charging handle to lefty would be pretty simple during the build process. Basically just weld the charging handle tube on upside down. The CETME-L safety would be more involved, though - it doesn't stick out the right side of the receiver or trigger housing at all.
    6
  6039. Sorry, yeah.
    6
  6040. Gives the user a less-lethal option. A poke form that little bayonet is still something that would encourage compliance without needing to actually shoot someone. Hence its use on the Gendarmerie model, but not the military ones.
    6
  6041. These shots are at 2000 fps.
    6
  6042. My general plan is to do a full video on each gun, including slow motion footage - but to also post just the slow motion by itself for people who are interested in it.
    6
  6043. I've handled a 240, but not fired one. I have talked to more than a few Iraq/Afghanistan vets who have significant time on both and prefer the PKM, though.
    6
  6044. I announce all meet ups on Patreon.
    6
  6045. Yes, quite sure.
    6
  6046. They did in the 20s...I don't know about today.
    6
  6047. Never read the comments. Ever, anywhere.
    6
  6048. Yup. The author suggests the name was indicative of the frame using a vanadium alloy, but as you say it is actually just the naming standard at the time in Poland. Wanad, Beryl, Tantal, etc.
    6
  6049. That missing block of rifles were not Enfields, they were Winchester developmental semiautos by John Browning's half-brother Ed and David "Carbine" Williams. :)
    6
  6050. I shoot a lot of stuff, but not many big-bore handguns. Lots of people can handle this thing better than I can.
    6
  6051. That is the Hill & Mac StG project, now owned by PSA. When they are eventually available commercially, I will definitely cover them further.
    6
  6052. ***** Yep, I misspoke. Sorry!
    6
  6053. +Envy T. Jealous They already do that...
    6
  6054. Well, until they close all their arsenals, anyway.
    6
  6055. +Chad Punte I'm not ambidextrous, but I sometimes shoot right handed to get better lighting for film.
    6
  6056. I do, actually.
    6
  6057. +93Roman http://www.forgottenweapons.com/early-semiauto-rifles/polish-wz-38m/
    6
  6058. My guess would be that the crest was used as evidence of government ownership, and grinding it off indicated legitimate sale.
    6
  6059. Yes.
    6
  6060. Yeah, it does seem to have a lot of references to food. :)
    6
  6061. A weapon designed and issued to paratroopers is a paratroop weapon. One for snipers is a sniper weapon. One for assault troops is an assault weapon.
    6
  6062. Here's the C96 version: https://youtu.be/szlJ9qy_SCg
    6
  6063. Nope, I would take the 34 over the 42. The 42 made sense on an industrial scale, but the 34 is the better gun.
    6
  6064. Demon 666 The conversion process is simply removing the .30-06 barrel/bolt assembly and putting in an 8mm one. Completely reversible, and I did it because I had a big stash of Romanian 8mm I bought when it was really cheap.
    6
  6065. Everyone makes mistakes, and one unfortunate product endorsement does not a clown make.
    6
  6066. Yes, they were used as aircraft guns during WWI (without the water jackets). Because they fired from a closed bolt, they were good candidates for synchronizing.
    6
  6067. No, if you remove the screw the trigger guard just comes off.
    6
  6068. I will post a video with this sort of information once I know more.
    6
  6069. I'm sure they would happy to have you!
    6
  6070. Yes, a commercial French 1873.
    6
  6071. Yes, but the MKb-42(H) was not.
    6
  6072. https://memecrunch.com/meme/2UWZP/this-is-my-safety/image.png?w=500&c=1
    6
  6073. This is actually Karl's, but yes...
    6
  6074. It is definitely a real thing - a friend of mine had a tube mag detonate in a Winchester 66 once.
    6
  6075. Royal Armouries are getting a second batch of books, but its fairly small and I don't know when they will actually arrive there.
    6
  6076. +ScreamingSturmovik Quality Russian rockets, sure. El cheapo Chinese ones sold in the middle east, not so much.
    6
  6077. +BranchySpore700 Yep, there are a couple more in the can.
    6
  6078. +jodelboy It only fits in the proper orientation
    6
  6079. The IRCGN collection includes material brought in from a number of other French government collections, and also military special forces missions.
    6
  6080. Glad I could help!
    6
  6081. You aren't going to let that go, are you? It's just common practice here.
    6
  6082. There was one prototype made that I am aware of.
    6
  6083. I don't know - haven't seen the trials report.
    6
  6084. Because if they could all the movies would have ended a lot sooner.
    6
  6085. We are still shipping Thorneycroft orders - you will get yours soon!
    6
  6086. Yep, there are a bunch of reproductions of the DeLisle out there (I've fired a couple of them). Originals are very rare, though.
    6
  6087. This will be coming, as well as the vz52/57 in 7.62x39.
    6
  6088. 8mm Lebel (8x50R)
    6
  6089. Pretty much all surplus 8mm Lebel is crap anyway. Duds and hangfires.
    6
  6090. It is good. Paper forms are still available if people need them for any reason.
    6
  6091. Yes.
    6
  6092. Wow, there's a no-win decision... :) I'd probably take the Type 11.
    6
  6093. No, no update.
    6
  6094. Can you send me some photos of the one you found? I would be very interested to see them. My email address is admin at forgottenweapons. Thanks!
    6
  6095. I have fired one; it has insignificant recoil because the dart does not end up moving very fast.
    6
  6096. Because having a TV show build a reproduction is about the only way to have a weird one-off like this made without it being prohibitively expensive.
    6
  6097. A total of 50-100 would not surprise me.
    6
  6098. Because video games are not real.
    6
  6099. I believe that even looking at it in California is illegal.
    6
  6100. Yeah, it's not particularly forgotten. However, I think that background knowledge of the PU is important to have in order to better understand the PE and PEM.
    6
  6101. I think this is a case where the real benefits and the regulatory benefits dovetail. The chassis system is definitely a good concept.
    6
  6102. The cavalry, who were the ones getting these carbines, were professional soldiers who learn to shoot properly. The conscript infantry basically just sucked at shooting by today's standards.
    6
  6103. jaffycah A friend of mine makes them from 7.62mm Tokarev brass.
    6
  6104. My pleasure!
    6
  6105. The trials that these took part in were won by the Snider-Enfield, which is the gun that was adopted and produced by the British Army.
    6
  6106. +PlanetRigo 8x57.
    6
  6107. It is a fantastic tool for planning and tracking daily videos. :)
    6
  6108. The upload time never changed; we don't have daylight savings time in Arizona.
    6
  6109. 5
    6
  6110. I believe the 7.62 NATO was actually developed from .300 Savage.
    6
  6111. Daniel Stoner It really doesn't need to. Headspace measures how much space there is between the breechface and the cartridge, and it's important in order to prevent the case head from rupturing when fired. With a design like this the entire rear of the case is supported regardless.
    6
  6112. +gmailjesbion The antlers are real.
    6
  6113. Impressive!
    6
  6114. Yes, two people got into a bidding war over it.
    6
  6115. http://www.forgottenweapons.com/early-semiauto-rifles/general-liu-rifle/
    6
  6116. +Goldberg1337 That was a Type 2 paratrooper.
    6
  6117. +Franz Marcos Type 100 indicates 1940, and they had multiple different guns designed in 1904 - much like how the US had an M1 rifle, M1 carbine, M1 light tank, etc.
    6
  6118. +Rl Badger They would. Pre-war Arisakas in particular are extremely well-made guns.
    6
  6119. I'm trying to be more careful.
    6
  6120. The problem is that being able to really distinguish real from fake Nazi stuff requires a ton of experience and knowledge - which I don't have. There has been so much premium and demand for the stuff for so long that the fakes have gotten really, really good. I have a friend who really is an expert, and even he doesn't even try to buy StG-44 magazine pouches (for example) anymore, because the legit ones are indistinguishable from the fakes. So would I big on this myself? Nope, no way. It's out of my league.
    6
  6121. No, I don't regret being on the show - I didn't do it for the publicity; I did it because it was an opportunity to actually fire a Bigot (albeit a reproduction). That's an experience not likely to be replicated. I have heard about the allegations against Will Hayden (both arrests), and I have no idea if he is guilty or innocent - I have had only very limited contact with him and don't know anything more about the issue than I see on the news. The folks I did spend time with during my stint on the show (people behind the scenes) were a great bunch, and I hope Hayden's actions don't unfairly tarnish their reputations.
    6
  6122. Yes.
    6
  6123. No, I meant Mauser - sorry!
    6
  6124. The X95 was the Fort-224.
    6
  6125. Yes.
    6
  6126. https://youtu.be/L0ONIZDTxLY
    6
  6127. Yeah, that's what I thought until I actually got to shoot one. They just don't seem to fit me well - I don't like the grip or the balance (rather, the total lack of balance), and it seemed a lot less controllable in full auto that I had expected. I would rather have a Madsen, Lewis, Bren, Chatellerault, or Nambu.
    6
  6128. Yes, and even into 1918. The US recognized the Provisional Government of Kerensky and continued to treat the Russian Embassy as representative of his government even after it ceased to exist. Remington delivered something like 260,000 rifles through Vladivostok for use by White Russian forces. For more details on this, I recommend "Allied Rifle Contracts in America" by Luke Mercaldo: http://amzn.to/2kjEjN3
    6
  6129. No - but I haven't tried since this video was filmed.
    6
  6130. Because when it fires, the bolt will reciprocate back pretty fast. We wanted to use a rod so it will be easily pushed out of the way by the bolt without damaging anything. There is method to the madness! :)
    6
  6131. That was just a slight hang fire, because the primer was over a hundred years old.
    6
  6132. There is a difference between judging the model and the specific example you have in hand, particularly when the gun and ammunition are over a century old.
    6
  6133. +trued_2 Seems fine to me. What is weird about it?
    6
  6134. Nope, box magazines only.
    6
  6135. +TheBetterManInBlack For Japan and China, the war began in 1937.
    6
  6136. Yes, I have the 1907 trials report posted on Forgotten Weapons. You can search for it, or follow a link in today's post (which is about the Savage).
    6
  6137. No, we were using standard .45 ACP ball.
    6
  6138. These SMG-made repros don't use original mags, just ZB-26/30 mags. Originals are insanely expensive, and ZB mags are good, cheap, and look about right.
    6
  6139. That's actually a Varusteleka windproof smock with a CZ patch on it...
    6
  6140. Online auctions are probably your best bet.
    6
  6141. As far as I know, it wasn't done by any Russian military units.
    6
  6142. No, I got it from Varusteleka.
    6
  6143. Gain-twist, because the rate accelerates.
    6
  6144. +Skeets K I don't recall the brand, but it was a small red dot mounted on a piece of rail on the original rear sight block.
    6
  6145. +MonarchTherapsids Inostran Nope.
    6
  6146. Yep, DA/SA.
    6
  6147. No. This year's midnight is an add-on to a daytime match and it's optimized for white light, not night vision. I encourage people to compete as much as possible, but I don't anticipate much overlap between the audiences for these two.
    6
  6148. My guess would be Lebanon.
    6
  6149. Thanks! For an order of 500 or more copies wholesale, we would cover the shipping cost.
    6
  6150. Take a look at my video about the National Firearms Center in England - in it we look at a flintlock revolver. Typically the cylinders are loaded in the bottom position, not through the barrel. Powder, wad, and ball are loaded into each chamber.
    6
  6151. +deadextra The P38 was a major influence on the Beretta 51, which is what the Beretta 92 was developed from. So yes, there is a significant similarity.
    6
  6152. The price point is not good for police, but the mechanism is just fine. The P7 was specifically designed as a police sidearm, using a similar gas-delay system that also heated up pretty quickly. Even dumping a typically full police load of ammunition would be fine, and it's much more common for the police to use one round or just a few rounds on the rare occasion when they do actually fire.
    6
  6153. In retrospect, yes. But at the time, the logistical argument in favor of standardizing rifle and LMG ammo packaging seemed pretty valid. You never really know until you try something...
    6
  6154. A few hours, but they were busy hours. :)
    6
  6155. I brought everything with me this time except plates, which I borrowed in Finland.
    6
  6156. He refused to tell me the secret to getting a million views on every video.
    6
  6157. A Sionyx Opsin
    6
  6158. It's called a Sedgley glove gun, and yes - I have a video on a real one of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hkmc0o8uVk
    6
  6159. Can you elaborate? There may have been different details in OEM Obregon mags, but the generic 1911 mags I used to shoot this one worked fine.
    6
  6160. Nope, not even close.
    6
  6161. Most like a postwar rebuild.
    6
  6162. Nope, standard action.
    6
  6163. No, it would not be cheaper. Making the tooling to make stamped gun parts is expensive, and only economical if you make a whole lot of those parts. Economy of scale is why the original Liberators cost a buck each and the modern repros cost $600.
    6
  6164. Yes.
    6
  6165. Right here: https://practiscore.com/inrangetv-s-midnight-brutality-2023/register It' an expensive patch, but it come with a free match entry. :) (Every competitor get a patch; they are not sold elsewhere)
    6
  6166. Some Patrons get early access.
    6
  6167. Machine guns are operated by teams, with an assistant gunner changing magazines to maintain a high rate of fire. That's why the French Chauchats had windows in the mags, FWIW. But 20-30 rounds was standard in basically all LMGs through the end of WWII.
    6
  6168. It does not.
    6
  6169. Solid frame revolvers are stronger.
    6
  6170. Potentially - the biggest issue is usually having enough magazines to complete a stage, as the interesting old guns are using in the 7-10 round range.
    6
  6171. Standard. Lugers don't run well on light-loaded ammunition.
    6
  6172. +Bungman Agforty No, the Kar 98k and the Kar 98 are different guns.
    6
  6173. +Marcus Linden Pretty much everything on TV today is crap.
    6
  6174. I forgot to mention that because it's not actually true.
    6
  6175. Gahlok12 Yes, it would be just fine to manufacture parts for guns like these (just not receivers).
    6
  6176. Extra barrel.
    6
  6177. chapiit08 What use would a .22 be in the arctic?
    6
  6178. +Will Richter Yes, you can.
    6
  6179. That sounds like a Type 98; the late-war simplified version of this pattern. Definitely a shame about the fire!
    6
  6180. Well, I'm going back to six days/week as of this month.
    6
  6181. When I can find one to work with, yes.
    6
  6182. Just waiting to find one...
    6
  6183. I was a bit nervous for the first round, but the rest were just fun. :)
    6
  6184. I would take the StG-44.
    6
  6185. Yep, you are correct. I have an article that published today on the 1903 and 1908 Bergmanns over on the Forgotten Weapons web site. I haven't shot a 1903, but I have a video of a 1910/21 at the range and it was a quite pleasant pistol to shoot.  
    6
  6186. MrLeafygreen14 I didn't think people needed a reminder of what channel they were watching on every video.
    6
  6187. I filmed one when I visited FB Radom, I just haven't published it yet.
    6
  6188. I think it's primarily because Dittrich wants it for himself. :)
    6
  6189. Someone does. FN has sold more than 10,000 semiauto M249 SAWs at $7k-$11k since 2016...
    6
  6190. I'll cover that more when I have some of the relevant rifles to show you.
    6
  6191. In the plans for Part II. :)
    6
  6192. Got it for completing the trench stage at Finnish Brutality last year.
    6
  6193. https://youtu.be/_hvgZ3qxzbw
    6
  6194. Still in progress.
    6
  6195. I knew when I approached him that the ammo side was no longer affiliated with the firearms side, but the firearms guys weren't at the show. I suggested that by answering, he could at least help more people learn about the split in the company.
    6
  6196. It didn't; it's in Europe.
    6
  6197. Yes, they have arrived at our French warehouse and European preorders are starting to ship out as well.
    6
  6198. Awesome! I have only been there once, but I plan to return.
    6
  6199. They are different. The extractor is the piece that pulls an empty case out of the chamber, and the ejector is the piece that tosses it out of the gun. It the extractor fails, you will have an empty case stuck in the chamber. If the ejector fails, you will typically get a stovepipe - the bolt jams up on the empty case when it tries to close.
    6
  6200. And I'm on the road filming this week, so there's nothing I can do about it anyway.
    6
  6201. You should speak with the Ethiopian government; they are the ones who decided to sell these rifles to the highest bidder.
    6
  6202. No, everything I had on Full30 was also posted to Youtube.
    6
  6203. Basically none. Totally different locking system, and substantially different operating system.
    6
  6204. +da8352 It fires from a closed bolt. The firing pin is separate from the bolt head, and does not come into contact with a primer until the trigger is pulled.
    6
  6205. Handsome Jack Exactly - the first version of the StG, which was fielded in 1943.
    6
  6206. That is a dent in the barrel jacket, not the barrel itself. That is common, and not an issue.
    6
  6207. Elk are far from harmless, although using a rifle is not exactly an even match. They are big animals, and you don't want to go pet one. But more to the point, if you eat meat you are responsible for killing an animal. If you don't eat meat because of that, I have no objection to your stance - but calling hunting wrong while eating a hamburger is completely hypocritical.
    6
  6208. They had the 24/29 Chatellerault and the 1914 Hotchkiss (similar to the Brits, who had the Bren and the Vickers).
    6
  6209. I actually just filmed a video on the SMG and SMG II, although it won't post until December or January.
    6
  6210. That's a pretty broad topic...the best suggestion I have would be "History Writ in Steel", on German police arms in the interwar period.
    6
  6211. +Ennis Anderson The Owl on the grip is a logo used by Iver Johnson. They made decent cheap revolvers for a long time, including through WWII. Equivalent to something like Taurus or Rossi today.
    6
  6212. I also might have been playing it for more than a year now.
    6
  6213. I like Verdun.
    6
  6214. Are you saying this is worse than hand to hand combat on top of a Zeppelin?
    6
  6215. Yup, a week ago in Phoenix. It was miserable, but not as bad as I had expected. :)
    6
  6216. wyzarme No, I used a Star 30M this time.
    6
  6217. Zielarek That is a timer that records gunshots, for scoring.
    6
  6218. +Roderick Van Hees I don't have a measure weight, but with the plates it was uncomfortable to wear. It's not flammable, though - nylon melts but does not burn.
    6
  6219. I haven't checked in detail, but I assume that one of the sideplates is arbitrarily defined as the receiver (just like Maxim and Browning machine guns).
    6
  6220. Did the long hair not make that point clear?
    6
  6221. It's at the end of the video.
    6
  6222. Caliber.
    6
  6223. Magnum just means big. There is no hard and fast rile; it's a word used by some companies when they want to differentiate a bigger thing. For instance, .357 Magnum vs .38 Special, or .44 Magnum vs .44 Special.
    6
  6224. If it works like the Sharps system, they it usually works properly. :)
    6
  6225. Sam Russell Muzzleloaders of all types (including big cannons) are by definition not Destructive Devices. Old cartridges over .50 inch are, unless they have "sporting purpose" exemptions - with they virtually all do.
    6
  6226. I have had the chance to handle one, but not fire it. I'd love to do a video, but I don't anticipate having access to another one any time soon.
    6
  6227. Ah, crap - I didn't notice that. The correct zip code is 85654.
    6
  6228. They have an open invitation to join us at any time.
    6
  6229. None taken! It's a "museum" only by a fairly loose definition, but about as good as anything one can find on Guadalcanal. The island (all of the Solomons, really) is very poor, and there simply aren't resources for things like western-style museums. The government has enough trouble just keeping the one main road navigable.
    6
  6230. It has never left the range...
    6
  6231. I don't have any plans to write on those subjects (I don't have the background for it), but we would be happy to consider works by authors who do!
    6
  6232. Display of the swastika is illegal in Germany, and has been since the 1950s. YouTube enforces this, and the MG17 video I used as an experiment was blocked in most of Europe as a result. The law allows for educational exceptions, but there is no practical mechanism for contesting this point with YouTube, and thumbnail images are basically irrelevant so I just use a defaced flag image in them.
    6
  6233. Thanks!
    6
  6234. Spent a long time looking for that...
    6
  6235. Nope, just fiberglas.
    6
  6236. I have a DeLisle video already filmed, actually - not sure when it will publish.
    6
  6237. It will be back in October
    6
  6238. I did that too...
    6
  6239. My main run in the match I did it with a Mosin.
    6
  6240. Well, for one thing you can't aim it, nor can you actually hold it in any sort of useful firing grip.
    6

  6242. I started doing it as a hobby and didn't stop.
    6
  6243. That's fine; your loss.
    6
  6244. There is a hole in the holster specifically to allowed a chambered round to eject, so it wouldn't be a problems at all. Sorry, I should have pointed that out in the video.
    6
  6245. My mother made it for me, actually.
    6
  6246. https://youtu.be/19MACwIfPQQ
    6
  6247. Perhaps. For us it came down to a matter of logistics. Coordinating and filmed teams instead of individuals would have made it impossible to produce the series in the time available.
    6
  6248. Moloko They're up for auction, so there is no set price. I have a link to each item's page at RIA in the video descriptions; you can see their high and low estimates there.
    6
  6249. +Ballsack Teebaghard Pre-WWII, it was the FN 1910/22.
    6
  6250. Yes: https://youtu.be/ZmO-NDLEC5A
    6
  6251. Kyle Flynn You just put "NSN" (no serial number) in the record book. Guns in the US weren't required to have serial numbers until 1968, so it's not uncommon (mostly shotguns and .22s).
    6
  6252. +FuYing Bro Thank you!
    6
  6253. +Patrick Takada Thank you! I would be happy to do the AA-12 if I can find access to one...
    6
  6254. Yes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY0bOLn0Cfs
    6
  6255. I have a video on a tank model coming as well. :)
    6
  6256. In a Finnish private collection.
    6
  6257. Not gonna happen; too big to travel with. I do the best I can.
    6
  6258. You need to contact Rock Island (www.rockislandauction.com). I believe they can ship some items outside the US, but I don't know the details.
    6
  6259. Which 100-150 years? Self-loading guns had to wait until the invention of smokeless powder; black powder left too much residue for a practical selfloader. Repeating arms, to be practical, needed the development of the self-contained brass cartridge.
    6
  6260. Sadly, this is the last of this batch of RIA videos - so we're about to go back the the regular once-per-week routine.
    6
  6261. teeroux The fellow running the camera on this video (and the G43 one) is the rifle's owner, a vet who is running on about 1/3 of a lung. If I had realized that his breathing would be as noticeable, I would have used a different mic setup - but I didn't realize it when we were filming.
    6
  6262. Whenever I can find one to shoot, absolutely.
    6
  6263. Yeah, the languages have completely different roots.
    6
  6264. Arran TheMute Yes, it can.
    6
  6265. Aside from refitting the stock, you would need to bend the bolt handle back to horizontal, and rethread the barrel so that the iron sights were aligned vertically. It's not a trivial conversion.
    6
  6266. +xXxBlackwaterXxX The rear sight is a cut down the whole top strap.
    6
  6267. Not monolithic.
    6
  6268. On the WWSD, we used a very light upper assembly (pencil barrel and carbon fiber handguard) that balance wonderfully with the polymer lower.
    6
  6269. +TaurusSI Yes. I have some photos and an article on ForgottenWeapons.coom, but haven't done a video. The most common variant is an 8mm one made for the Mexican mounted police.
    6
  6270. No, but we have import regulations that would prevent it.
    6
  6271. That would still require a much heavier action to contain the pressure, thus making the weapon far less mobile.
    6
  6272. +leathery420 Mostly they would have been standard commercial .455 revolvers made by Webley and others.
    6
  6273. I had a very enjoyable time - thanks!
    6
  6274. It posts tomorrow.
    6
  6275. Hariskillsstuff Thanks!
    6
  6276. It's a Burris 2-7x pistol scope.
    6
  6277. XLesky No, you can't. Single loading is sometimes possible, but the en bloc clip acts as the feed lips. No clip means no feed lips, which means there is nothing to hold the cartridges in the magazine.
    6
  6278. My educational background is in mechanical engineering technology, and I have never worked in the gun industry.
    6
  6279. +Josh Simmons There were no firearms in this video.
    6
  6280. In the description text
    6
  6281. That's where the extractor is installed.
    6
  6282. There were two German copies of the Sten, the Gerat Potsdam and the MP3008. The Potsdam was the more exact copy, but I don't think they were made with English markings.
    6
  6283. I do; I actually have one of the L-block ones assembled at Chatellerault.
    6
  6284. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyXndCxn9K4
    6
  6285. In today's work of alternative facts, I see no reason they both can't be the ultimate simultaneously.
    6
  6286. Not quite - that distinction would go to one of the WWI heavy machine gun tripods.
    6
  6287. All German sniping rifles are the ultimate sniping rifles.
    6
  6288. It's basically impossible to specifically date most of the warlord type guns, so I chose to use the Beiyang flag for all of them to distinguish them from the later formal Nationalist/Taiwanese governments.
    6
  6289. Binary trigger and bump stocks have/had zero impact on NFA gun values.
    6
  6290. I believe the F suffix designates a semiauto model.
    6
  6291. If 1895 Nagant is the answer, you have asked the wrong question.
    6
  6292. GetTheFO No, the difference is that Russian surplus is really cheap, so people don't worry about treating them carefully. And they don't break. They're not mechanically special - other guns of the same eras are equally durable but more valuable so people treat them with kid gloves. When was the last time you actually had a part break on a gun? They are built to be fired, and are quite strong. The reservations about dry-firing come from two specific cases: rimfire (where the firing pin directly hits the steel barrel) and percussion locks (where the hammer will eventually damage the nipple when there isn't a cap present). Do I make an effort (not always 100% successful) to lower hammers gently as a general practice? Yes. But you are really exaggerating the actual importance of doing so. (Unless you're talking about the Type 14 Nambu, which has a nasty habit of snapping firing pins)
    6
  6293. That video is tomorrow ;)

    6
  6300. +Sven Wolthuis There are SS rifles here in the US, but there are a great many faked ones and it's difficult to tell the real ones form the fakes without a tremendous amount of knowledge.
    6
  6301. +Kev KFZ Just the 33/40.
    6
  6302. No, because of both the width and curvature.
    6
  6303. +Will Alcantara The Winchester-Hotchkiss, for one. I'm sure there are other examples as well.
    6
  6304. Argentina, like Israel and Belgium, adopted a heavy barrel version that separated the bipod and hand guard into two distinct elements.
    6
  6305. Yep, that one will post on the 24th.
    6
  6306. I don't think it is susceptible to EMP considering it produces an EMP itself...
    6
  6307. I have videos on a whole bunch of guns that appear in BF1.
    6
  6308. Spanner, that's a good point. I don't recall if the bolt holdopen overrode the closing feature until the mag was changed. I'll have to take a look at that next time I have access to the gun. As for the M1, I don't see anyone knowledgeable claiming it to be the first semiauto. What it can rightly claim, though, is being the first standard-issue semiauto rifle. The Mondragon, Federov, etc were all used in combat but not extensively.
    6
  6309. The material began as square bar. Making it octagon required less machine work than making it round.
    6
  6310. ChannelSho Guns like the 1911 and USP have locking systems which require the barrel to move during the firing cycle, and that makes it impractical to put the spring around the barrel. So the spring goes underneath where it is out of the way of the moving bits. Guns with recoil springs located around the barrel have fixed and unmoving barrels.
    6
  6311. I actually had already done a video on a Hagen at the Cody Museum; just haven't had a chance to post it yet.
    6
  6312. We have not had a chance to put one in his hands. I would be curious to hear his opinion of them though!
    6
  6313. Winning a war does absolutely entitle you to take the other guy's military equipment. This was not Reinhard the Gunsmith's little shop; this was a major factory making military arms got government contracts.
    6
  6314. Merci!
    6
  6315. It is my only warm hat.
    6
  6316. The early pattern is much scarcer than the late
    6
  6317. InRange is demonetized completely, not Forgotten Weapons.
    6
  6318. The MAS 38 is too small to convert to 9x19. The frame, bolt, magazine well, and basically everything would have to be scaled up and the result would be a whole new gun form a production perspective. So you might as well have a new design competition to see if you could get a better gun.
    6
  6319. Nope, it's not the lighting; it really is an outstanding finish.
    6
  6320. qt3141692 Rack each round into the chamber and then out. Remember, it's just a prototype.
    6
  6321. It is authentic; a factory-made WW2 one.
    6
  6322. I was using old Remington .38 S&W ammo in the revolver. I'm not sure exactly what model the speedloaders were; I borrowed them for the match.
    6
  6323. I remove the giveaway segment when it’s over, so the videos don’t have them - you can check any from previous months.

  6331. Yeah, I meant anodizing.
    6
  6332. I have a CAL video filmed; not sure when it will publish.
    6
  6333. Russian 1910s
    6
  6334. +Michael Presley It's a matter of correcting myths. The CSRG is better than most people think; the M60 is not as good as most people think.
    6
  6335. I can probably dig one up. And actually, the new R51 would make interesting footage too, especially in comparison to the original.
    6
  6336. No.
    6
  6337. I doubt it.
    6
  6338. Sorry - I really hate that international shipping is so expensive. The best I can offer is to order with one or more other people local to you, as we can ship up to 6 books for the same rate. There is a Reddit thread running to coordinate this sort of thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/ForgottenWeapons/comments/bjixnc/coordinating_international_orders_for_ians_book/
    6
  6339. +Stam Fordly I'm sure it was tried, but I don't know how effective the projectiles would have been against light tanks.
    6
  6340. Wetcorps You could probably open carry it in the stock/holster without anyone recognizing it as a gun. :)
    6
  6341. This DShKM is converted to .50 Browning.
    6
  6342. You are thinking of the Pedersen, not Johnson.
    6
  6343. Standard was 88gr (5.7g), according to the 1945-dated cartridge drawings I have. Original muzzle velocity was higher, though.
    6
  6344. +操你fake fan操你 Display of swastikas is illegal in Germany and gets videos blocked.
    6
  6345. As I say in the video, that is my own welding, not theirs.
    6
  6346. As I say (pretty clearly, I thought) in the video, I did those welds myself. And I am not a welder.
    6
  6347. I recognize my limitations, and have not welded anything since doing this in 2017.
    6
  6348. It was not a random choice. :)
    6
  6349. The Grease gun is a submachine gun, not a rifle. The US had a series of designations for each different class of weapon.
    6
  6350. Yep, I overlooked mentioning it specifically
    6
  6351. Actually, it's still in Europe.
    6
  6352. No, made by KE in Arizona.
    6
  6353. No - it conducts heat in from the barrel and gas tube much faster than it radiates it out to the air.
    6
  6354. KE did a limited run of FDE KP15 lowers, but we are not doing complete FDE guns. If you want that, you can choose from cerakote or rattle-can. :)
    6
  6355. This isn't intended to be the cheapest possible build. It still has a bunch of really nice elements, like the DMR trigger and the Faxon barrel.
    6
  6356. Yes, InRange does get a royalty from these.
    6
  6357. If that is what you want, then by all means do it.
    6
  6358. IIRC, YouTube counts 30 seconds as a view.
    6
  6359. Yep.
    6
  6360. Really obscure stuff will tell you the depth of information in the book; the quality of the editing is a different issue.
    6
  6361. Yep, it's a 1971 Apparel shirt.
    6
  6362. Yeah, shoulda coulda woulda. The middle of a match is not necessarily a good time to start tinkering with your gun if it's still mostly functional...
    6
  6363. That's why I included subtitles.
    6
  6364. Stripper clips were the predominant reloading method during the height of the war, but the SVT was initially issued with three magazines (I've owned original Russian two-mag pouches). I see no reason that the mag catch is prone to wearing out.
    6
  6365. Did you watch the video? These were made by Mauser, not in Turkey.
    6
  6366. +Justin Robert The Helwan is much better. Not Beretta quality, but definitely a big step above the Tariq.
    6
  6367. Rilyn666 They do have detachable stocks, actually.
    6
  6368. On paper...in practice the 34 and 42 are both much better guns than the RP46.
    6
  6369. Schnapps? Really? We drink bourbon like real Americans, not some Hun swill! ;)
    6
  6370. Yes, 3 barrels.
    6
  6371. Yes, several shops have make clones of varying quality.
    6
  6372. Razor Ghost It was a Madsen LMG
    6
  6373. I use the flag from the time and place of the weapon being created. In the case of South Africa, this means some get the pre-94 flag and some get the post-94 flag.
    6
  6374. I have one in my own collection, which I will do a video on eventually...
    6
  6375. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9Km5KaeO7I
    6
  6376. That was the typical military revolver power of the time.
    6
  6377. Be patient. :)
    6
  6378. Unfortunately, I did not have a chance to shoot either of them. :(
    6
  6379. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9e3UCcU00TRIeypXC53S8r81DZRvoXmu
    6
  6380. No...the G3 is a CETME variant.
    6
  6381. We can't have a riot now, can we?
    6
  6382. I'm sure they will pursue reimbursement for legal fees at least, but I don't know the details.
    6
  6383. No, training novice shooters with .30-06 would lead to a ton of flinching. Far better to learn the fundamentals without heavy recoil, and then transition to the larger cartridges later.
    6
  6384. Steel Talon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5JP-sR3aJw
    6
  6385. No, James was at Czech Combat, but not this.
    6
  6386. You do.
    6
  6387. Naturally...
    6
  6388. > Proper sportsmanship requires not wounding animals > Using technology is unsportsmanlike cheating
    6
  6389. No, it's too far forward to cause any issues. In combat use, there would be a hose connected to the front of the jacket to direct that steam into a condensing tank full of water, rendering it a non-issue.
    6
  6390. +zendell37 Yes.
    6
  6391. +Phil Vorgias Cool! When I was at Battlefield Vegas, that gun had a broken firing pin and I wasn't able to try it out.
    6
  6392. I will be doing a more in-depth video on the rifle a bit later.
    6
  6393. CAR-15 was a name that covered a lot of variations
    6
  6394. It’s called a Grec camera
    6
  6395. That is one of my examples on the site. :)
    6
  6396. Karl and I have a fairly extensive review of the reproduction Henrys coming on InRangeTV.
    6
  6397. The sight ends at 1000m and at 2000yd. That's not the same as saying 2yd=1m.
    6
  6398. Other top-mag LMGs include the Vickers-Berthier, Chatellerault 24/29, Nambu 96 and 99, Mendoza RM-2, ZB26, ZB30, and Madsen. These guns were collectively used by virtually every major combatant in WWII: Germany, France, Japan, the UK, China, and more than 2 dozen smaller countries. The US used the BAR instead, Russia used the DP28, and Italy used the Breda (although both Italy and Russia also used some of the top-mag guns).
    6
  6399. You have it backwards. BF1 is popular because it uses guns from this channel. ;)
    6
  6400. Nope, I did not. Filming this video was the first time I had seen one in person.
    6
  6401. Yep
    6
  6402. As a swanky tourist resort destination, Guadalcanal leaves a lot to be desired...
    6
  6403. I did, and I have a couple videos coming from them... :)
    6
  6404. The rifle was made in the Netherlands, but made for and used by the Portuguese Army.
    6
  6405. Iraq did make a similar looking long barreled AK in 7.62x39 called the Tabuk, FWIW.
    6
  6406. +Patrick Williams No I didn't.
    6
  6407. +Andy47357 "NSN" - there are lots of guns out in circulation that don't have serial numbers. It's only a problem if they originally had one and it has been defaced.
    6
  6408. They did...that video is coming next week.
    6
  6409. The booster creates a significant amount of flash distinct form the muzzle, and the disk hides that.
    6
  6410. If you register it as an SBR, yes.
    6
  6411. +kvbm Yes, they will accept international bids. I would suggest calling them for specific details, and make sure you can legally own whatever it is you are bidding on!
    6
  6412. Bloke on the Range
    6
  6413. No, that's normal.
    6
  6414. The compensator on the Owen is very similar, but not the same, The Cutts was removeable and had slots perpendicular to the bore, while the Owen comp is a permanent piece of the barrel and its slots are angled forwards.
    6
  6415. +Robert Thomas I go through it in more detail in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnXecn1tqGI
    6
  6416. +no name available No, Mexico was 5+ years ahead of them.
    6
  6417. I'm pretty sure Barrett never saw this.
    6
  6418. Yes, Brownells also distributes in Switzerland.
    6
  6419. Can't say I really care...blade up, blade down, really doesn't matter a whit.
    6
  6420. Hmm...probably the MKb-42.
    6
  6421. It looks that way, but the outer latch doesn't push the plunger in far enough. So actually, having the outer latch cover the plunger ensures that it won't come unlatched accidentally (not that it could anyway with the outer one locked in place).
    6
  6422. Luke from TFB was there with us...as were a bunch of other channels. Print Shoot Repeat, Polenar Tactical, Bloke on the Range, Kit Badger, Administrative Results, Blue Jean Operator, and Firepower United.
    6
  6423. I came back 3 stages later...
    6
  6424. No, the G43 used the same sort of locking flaps as the G41. The G43 gas piston was very similar to the Tokarev, though.
    6
  6425. The only safety is the DA-type trigger pull. ,It could be carried with the chamber loaded as long as you had some sort of holster to prevent the trigger from catching on anything.
    6
  6426. The barrel is locked in place, and you have to push the slide forward to unlock it. Think of it like a pump shotgun, when the force of firing acts on a locked bolt, so it doesn't open until you manually move the pump slide.
    6
  6427. Not yet, but when I find one I will do a video on it.
    6
  6428. No. We talked about a number of cool plans, but I didn't do any filming.
    6
  6429. No, they adopted the M1 Carbine.
    6
  6430. Um, the M1 Carbine.
    6
  6431. I suppose? Given that the first M1 Carbine trial called for all the guns to be select-fire, they all would qualify.
    6
  6432. It means don't use black powder ammo.
    6
  6433. And much too expensive to be a povolver.
    6
  6434. coltonsin64 Residual gas pressure is sufficient to extract when firing, and the action breaks open to allow administrative removal of a live cartridge.
    6
  6435. To some extent. The Lewis pans have a couple advantages over Chauchat mags, namely they are open on the bottom so gravity is always pulling dirt out, and they don't have a spring to get fouled up, since the gun itself turns the pan. They are also not nearly as flimsy as Chauchat mags.
    6
  6436. +TheNordus Those mags were a surprise to me the first time I saw them.
    6
  6437. Thanks!
    6
  6438. That's how it was made.
    6
  6439. Meet ups are one of the perks of being a Patreon supporter - I did announce it there.
    6
  6440. desantos123 Do a search for Webley and you'll find several I have done on the 1904, 1910, and 1913 Webley automatic pistols.
    6
  6441. +victor williams Import marks do hurt value, and they have been required since 1968.
    6
  6442. There was one other shooter with a bolt action this time, but yeah - basically everyone else uses more modern guns. This match always has a higher than normal number of non-AR rifles - AKs, VZ58s, FALs, M1 and M1As, etc.
    6
  6443. +Lindsay Wilson I believe the breechbock actually cocks it.
    6
  6444. +Terrence Hanson Not bad, but worse than you would expect from a .32.
    6
  6445. Heh - that its actually volume 1 of 5 that Dolf Goldsmith has written on the Browning. :) Volume 1 is on rifle calibers gun in US service, 2 is rifle caliber guns in foreign service, 3 is support equipment, 4 is the 50 cal Brownings, and 5 is extra miscellanea.
    6
  6446. Not only have I been there, I recorded a video interview with the Curator: NFC Jonathan Ferguson Interview
    6
  6447. +Ian Martin Um, ok.
    6
  6448. +elfinfluff Vintage rimfire .58 is rare and expensive.
    6
  6449. +Robert Ling http://www.mcpheetersantiquemilitaria.com/06_ammunition/06_item_026.htm
    6
  6450. +MrDoctorCrow The extractor only pushes against the rim of the cartridge - it has no way to pull it back into the chamber.
    6
  6451. DFX2KX I don't see it as being a problem. The need for a half-cock safety in revolvers was to prevent the gun from firing if you slipped and released the hammer while cocking the piece, which isn't an applicable issue for DA automatics.
    6
  6452. I explain it in detail in my upcoming M60 video...
    6
  6453. If it was that, it would cease to be an FG42. :) FWIW, though, there was one experimental one made in 8mm Kurz...
    6
  6454. Yep, these repros have rails. They aren't modern standard rails; they're the same dovetail type mounting rail that all the original guns have. Meopta makes repro ZF4 scopes (they aren't cheap).
    6
  6455. No, the early ones had stamped smooth aluminum (Type D) or ribbed steel (Type E) stocks, and wooden handguards.
    6
  6456. The mag is on the left because a side-mounted mag allows the gun to be shorter than a vertical mag (the mag and trigger can use the same space this way), and a right-side mag would eject to the left - less desirable for right handed shooters.
    6
  6457. Can't open the AK bolt with the safety on.
    6
  6458. Gummy Bear Legally it is not a machine gun.
    6
  6459. +Jeff K. I have an SVT-38 video coming in two days. :)
    6
  6460. Been told I can't be nothin' else Just a hustler in spite of myself :)
    6
  6461. Production information was considered secret during the war, for understandable reasons, and it was never declassified - so it's still secret today. Not that it's illegal to say how many were made, but the original production records are the only reliable way to know that, and those records are still classified.
    6
  6462. Yes.
    6
  6463. The Machine
    6
  6464. Only because mags and ammo for 9x39 are essentially unavailable.
    6
  6465. weeeds334 That's nothing - you should hear me butcher Polish names! :)
    6
  6466. He works there.
    6
  6467. More accurate? If so, only because the 7.62mm barrel if fairly worn, and .303 barrels in new condition are easy to find. Overall, the different caliber is the only distinction between the two. The Chinese conversion is much lighter shooting and has a reduced effective range compared to the standard .303.
    6
  6468. The .303 Bren mags do not work well in 7.62x54R. The best magazine for that conversion is the Bulgarian ZB-39 (aka, Bren) mag in 8x56R. My understanding is that those will reliably run 20-25 rounds of 54R.
    6
  6469. +Samuel Niemiec They have been lost.
    6
  6470. Yes, burst and unlimited full auto are considered the same for those purposes.
    6
  6471. The 1917 was, in substantial numbers. The 1918 was not, or only in very small numbers.
    6
  6472. The French wanted to replace the 8mm Lebel cartridge with a modern rimless cartridge, which left the RSC 1917 and 1918 obsolete.
    6
  6473. I will be covering those next week.
    6
  6474. Nope, 7.62x39.
    6
  6475. Negative, it is quite secure.
    6
  6476. The PPD was not copy of the Suomi, it just used a copy of the Suomi drum.
    6
  6477. That's intentional, and elasticized. Lets me have full range of movement with a properly-fitted jacket.
    6
  6478. Lugers still shoot just fine today, although they only have 8-round magazines.
    6
  6479. I'll do a shooting/disassembly/operation video on the Luger later, when I'm not at an auction house.
    6
  6480. Yes, there are a few out there. They are replicas (and sold as replicas), made by a very talented guy who splits original frames down the middle and widens them to fit .45. Very high dollar items.
    6
  6481. https://youtu.be/QJM_awoYon8
    6
  6482. +LUDO A reproduction of this would be high-quality, fancy Hi-Point.
    6
  6483. Bronze.
    6
  6484. Central Storage Basically nothing. I paid $49 for this one.
    6
  6485. Sadly, Guadalcanal is an incredibly poor place. There is precious little money for basic infrastructure, much less tourist-driven things like large indoor museums and preservation/restoration work.
    6
  6486. Nope.
    6
  6487. Mars.
    6
  6488. I don't want a platform whose identity is "we're not that guy". I want a platform whose identity is based on sound fundamentals and fair even-handed treatment of everyone.
    6
  6489. It's in the Netherlands, not the US.
    6
  6490. A larger trigger lever to allow you to fire the gun with gloves on (so you don't need to get a finger into the trigger guard)
    6
  6491. In theory, sure.
    6
  6492. It was quickly removed from production.
    6
  6493. Yes.
    6
  6494. No, don't do that. Don't buy a 9mm Glisenti gun unless you either don't plan to shoot it or are willing to use the proper ammunition. If that's too difficult, you can spend less money and get a 1915/17 Beretta that will use normal modern .32ACP.
    6
  6495. It has amazing battery life!
    6
  6496. Unclear. Not many went into actual service, and I was not able to find any user feedback that actually distinguished them from PSLs or true Dragunovs.
    6
  6497. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF-yRugPwuI
    6
  6498. Clearly it's not being marketed to you.
    6
  6499. 6/8
    6
  6500. .22 and .38, both pinfire cartridges.
    6
  6501. +TheEnglishLongbow Yep, that is correct for both the Berthier and Lebel.
    6
  6502. Yes, sort of.
    6
  6503. There really weren't many. The grip is a bit narrower and more comfortable (IMO) than the HK; that's about all I can think of.
    6
  6504. Because all of those put together are still less popular than 9mm.
    6
  6505. The Armouries have two of these guns; this one is in the NFC collection and the other is on public display in the museum at Leeds.
    6
  6506. If it's not threaded, it could move forward without rotating, hence the pin.
    6
  6507. An Edgertronic high speed camera.
    6
  6508. Yes, they are renderings based on the master file of the manuscript. We use the Kickstarter to fund the printing and to determine how many copies to print - but what you see in the renderings are the actual content.
    6
  6509. I think it's dead. Max isn't allowed to work with Western organizations now, as he is employed in the Russian defense sector.
    6
  6510. I have a nice short video explaining that exact question: https://youtu.be/Ga4uoWmfEt4
    6
  6511. No, but there were other projects developed to try to make a select-fire, stamped construction rifle in 8x57, like this one: https://youtu.be/aLR-f7qSScU
    6
  6512. I address this in the video…
    6
  6513. My 2nd pattern example was made in 1918.
    6
  6514. I doubt you'll find anyone stocking parts for it - best bet would be to find a qualified gunsmith who can fabricate a new spring for you.
    6
  6515. It's a .50 cal Browning aircraft gun.
    6
  6516. No, but I will.
    6
  6517. Consider the difference in manufacturing tolerances between a gun operating at 50,000 psi and a demonstrative mockup, as well as the difference in material cost between soft zinc alloy and various alloys of high quality steel.
    6
  6518. You can, but it's a PITA.
    6
  6519. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DDc0hXk0ws
    6
  6520. Sorry, I forgot to override YouTube's automatic settings on this one.
    6
  6521. Because there is not much market for a modern service rifle that has proprietary parts, can't attach any accessories, and can barely attach optics.
    6
  6522. Nothing specific. It will happen, but I don't know when.
    6
  6523. No, it didn't.
    6
  6524. No reason you can't do it in Florida - find a range and start a match up yourself!
    6
  6525. +Omega Actual The French RSC rifles from WWI loaded clips from the bottom...
    6
  6526. John Clayton Are you volunteering to supply the 6.5mm Mondragon ammo?
    6
  6527. It's a simple blowback design, unrelated mechanically to the 1911 family (and based on a different patent).
    6
  6528. +Anthony Aweeka There is no such thing...
    6
  6529. The tea thing is a fun story, but considering the amount of oil and other nasty gunk that gets into the water you really wouldn't want to.
    6
  6530. Nyet, rifle is fine.
    6
  6531. Trey Westcot The refurb process did not correct the heat treat and chamber thickness issues.I don't have any specific data about Yugo vs Romanian vs Polish Tokarevs, but I have no reason to suspect that the Yugo would not be as good or better than the others, as you say.
    6
  6532. With a 10mm conversion kit it does.
    6
  6533. I said it was illegal at the time.
    6
  6534. +Paul Aguallo Open bolt SMG, not flinch.
    6
  6535. They are all the same kits, just bought by several different retailers.
    6
  6536. We are working on that with Vimeo (who runs the app backend)
    6
  6537. Yep.
    6
  6538. Yup. I would never be able to manage everything if they didn't have that option. :)
    6
  6539. Yep.
    6
  6540. Yes, eventually.
    6
  6541. I think was the only one shooting a bolt gun - most people use ARs or AKs.
    6
  6542. +Wiromax3 It's great if you want hyperbole and lots of exaggerated gasping.
    6
  6543. In theory, yes.
    6
  6544. In all pistols derived from John Browning's 1911, the barrel tilts downward when it unlocks - the locking lugs are located on the top of the barrel just in front of the chamber.
    6
  6545. The European distributor is here: http://www.sierra-313.de/shop/index.php/cat/c115_Vickers-Guide.html They have no yet ordered the WW2 Germany book (ironically), so you should email them and request it.
    6
  6546. No, I did not find it to be an issue.
    6
  6547. Topics come and go, but in general I think three historic gun videos per week is not too bad.
    6
  6548. +kahoala3 It's just a gun, same as a rifle or pistol. On a 4473 it might be rifle or might be "other", I'm not sure offhand.
    6
  6549. No, don't. Only 7.63 Mauser loadings.
    6
  6550. No. She is happily married.
    6
  6551. http://www.a-human-right.com/jewsfight.html
    6
  6552. The flag is that of the United Arab Republic (a union of Egypt and Syria under which this rifle was made) and it's the same as the current Syrian government flag.
    6
  6553. That video is coming in just a few days :)
    6
  6554. Yup. Here'a look at the book: https://youtu.be/G1ER5J4dXO0
    6
  6555. No, that book is exclusively about Hungarian Kalashnikovs.
    6
  6556. Yep, mine does have the S modification. If your rifle does not, I would recommend only using round-nose Patrone 88 ammunition.
    6
  6557. My high speed filming is done with an Edgertronic high speed camera, usually at about 2000 frames/second.
    6
  6558. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/ak-and-stg-kissing-cousins/
    6
  6559. Yeah - the receiver alone started as a 38.5 pound block of steel and took 247 machining operations to complete.
    6
  6560. Sure, there are pros and cons both to top-mounted magazines, but they were used by more than just a few guns, and by some pretty good ones. The ZB/Bren series was one of the most successful and popular LMGs ever made. The Madsen was another very long-lived gun, and the Nambu was limited in scope but a quite good gun as well.
    6
  6561. He went to jail.
    6
  6562. Yes, fully automatic. That's easier to make than semiauto.
    6
  6563. +tomas fabbro MY understanding is that he can have either a cloak or a shotgun, but not both...
    6
  6564. Microphone antics.
    6
  6565. The only reason I prefer the Hakim is because I have a lot of 8mm Mauser and very little 6.5x55 ammo. If the ammo wasn't an issue, I'd say the Ljungman is the nicer of the two - generally they are in better condition and their cartridge makes for less felt recoil.
    6
  6566. chrisloUSA When I did the Ljungman video, it was a new system for me. Since then I've practiced with the action a lot more, and gotten much more comfortable using it. As for the 6.5x55 ammo, it's not too hard to find, but mostly new production (expensive). If you want to shoot a lot, it's definitely worth handloading.
    6
  6567. Definitely Chinn. A couple others would be Hatcher's Notebook and Random Shots.
    6
  6568. Sorry - it wasn't something I though to ask about.
    6
  6569. We were pretty exhausted at the end - the analysis will be in my blog post tomorrow. http://www.forgottenweapons.com/2-gun-action-with-a-remington-model-8-video/
    6
  6570. The copter definitely got a few looks.
    6
  6571. Yep, same root word in Portuguese, French, Italian, etc.
    6
  6572. Thanks-I fixed it
    6
  6573. I believe there is a ratchet inside the tube to prevent the rounds from falling back.
    6
  6574. Some, but not much. The same as any other muzzleloading revolver, really.
    6
  6575. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe Henry North of this rifle was the son of Simeon North, who manufactured the North & Cheney pistols. At the end of his life, management of Simeon's factory was turned over to his son James North and Edward Savage, who was involved in this rifle. I haven't been able to find a definite source listing all of Simeon's sons, though, so there's a slim chance that Henry was unrelated.
    6
  6576. I blurred out that guy's face because I don't know him and didn't get his permission to be in the video. And I do have footage of the Hellcat firing. :)
    6
  6577. Pzgraf Okay, you guys convinced me. :) I'll do some research in the next week or two on what camera gear I should have to really do things professionally, and put together a kickstarter to get it all. I have plans for another very cool project I can't talk about yet that would also benefit from some better camera gear too...
    6
  6578. Hopefully 2017 will be even better. :)
    6
  6579. They are expensive because everyone wants to have one.
    6
  6580. The bore diameter is .45, but the specific cartridge is unknown. the most likely is probably .45 ACP, but that's simply a guess.
    6
  6581. They are stitched on, and the shirts were sold as surplus with them on, so clearly it's not a big deal.
    6
  6582. Really, a captured StG would be much more plausible than a captured FG42, simply because there weren't many FGs fielded in places where the Resistance was active. But I had access to this, and not to an StG...
    6
  6583. Vickers bought the Maxim company, and continued to improve the Maxim gun design without Maxim, as he basically retired from gun design work. A couple talented engineers in Vickers' employ came up with the "Vickers" design, which was a substantial lightening of the Maxim.
    5
  6584. Yes, it is a Finnish belt loader for their 1932 model Maxim.
    5
  6585. The .22 Long is the same length cartridge case as the Long Rifle, just with a lighter bullet. That won't chamber in this revolver, as both the case and the OAL are too long for the cylinder.
    5
  6586. I was when I filmed this, but am not now. Sorry!
    5
  6587. Throw away; get new gun.
    5
  6588. I am not worried about satan.
    5
  6589. +762gunr 6.5 Creedmore
    5
  6590. It's a dewat, and needs to be reactivated before we can take it out shooting.
    5
  6591. Not sure yet; we are still working on it.
    5
  6592. Nope, not yet.
    5
  6593. No, I just spend some time there before each auction. I'll be doing this from the James Julia auction house as well starting in a couple weeks.
    5
  6594. That's about the best distance forward for that style of open notch rear sight - it's at about the same place as on Mauser bolt action rifles as well.
    5
  6595. For now, we are only doing items that Varusteleka already carries. If there is enough interest, we may be able to do more custom things, like long sleeve or different colors.
    5
  6596. You're thinking of English manufacturing... xD
    5
  6597. Yes; I expect both that area and the ramps themselves were hardened to prevent wear.
    5
  6598. namvet1946 This one only cost me something like $350, IIRC.
    5
  6599. No, they did not bother.
    5
  6600. decnet100 Here, see if this version works for you: Quadcopter video - fixed audio?
    5
  6601. Jimmy De'Souza Here, see if this version works for you: Quadcopter video - fixed audio?
    5
  6602. Yes, he does discuss it.
    5
  6603. Jimmy De'Souza The tests were conducted in December 1888 and the report printed in early 1889. I did slip up in saying the competition was a 1903 Springfield (whoops!); it was actually a trapdoor Springfield.
    5
  6604. For better or worse, RIA does not (as an institution) use gloves when handling guns. Their rationale is that they are more likely to result in someone's grip slipping and dropping a gun than protecting them from skin oils. Their guns; their choice.
    5
  6605. Money. It's not like a warehouse full of Carcanos and Berdans is of any practical utility to the Ethiopian military/security forces, so why not sell it and use the income for something else?
    5
  6606. Yes.
    5
  6607. "Indian" is generally the preferred term by the people being referred to, at least down here in the southwestern US.
    5
  6608. No, not in this series.
    5
  6609. I would simply call it the Stoner system.
    5
  6610. Early in Vietnam, the Army supplied ammo significantly out of the intended design standard and it caused a lot of problems.
    5
  6611. Well ok, you have point there.
    5
  6612. When we have the chance to, yes.
    5
  6613. +Pitt Brad http://www.forgottenweapons.com/prototype-vz-52-machine-pistol/
    5
  6614. I can bid all I want, and I don't work there.
    5
  6615. Good catch - that's actually a round where it pulled the case off the bullet and then fired the empty primed case.
    5
  6616.  @matiukelly  YouTube only cares about Hitler. They don't care about Franco, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao, Pot Pol, or anyone else.
    5
  6617. I use the flag from the time and place where the gun was developed or introduced.
    5
  6618. You got me there 😆
    5
  6619. Redesigning it as a bullpup would be impractical - but the current configuration really gets you most of the benefits of a bullpup (balance) without the problems (ejection and mag location).
    5
  6620. It's based on reproduction of an FG-42, second model.
    5
  6621. Ha! Didn't think there would actually be one, did you! :D
    5
  6622. The students split into groups, and each group made one of the dinner courses. We were feeding ourselves, not anyone else. And I brought the rest of my meat home with me, vacuum packed and frozen in two coolers.
    5
  6623. You are exactly the sort of people this class is designed for.
    5
  6624. The best way to learn new skills is to isolate them and remove the related difficulties, so one can focus on picking up the new material. First learn to drive in an empty parking lot, then go navigate the Arc de Triumph roundabout.
    5
  6625. I made the haggis from pork, and it was excellent. While we did hang the carcasses, there is not much blood to collect at that point, unlike when an animal is killed in a slaughterhouse. I'm not from Scotland myself, but my family is; our first ancestor emigrated from there to the US (the colonies, at the time...) around 1700.
    5
  6626. No.
    5
  6627. Not in the uS at the moment - a bunch of them came on the market not long ago. I would like to do a series on the main Swiss stright-pull rifles, just haven't had a chance to yet.
    5
  6628. Forgotten Weapons is my full-time work.
    5
  6629. The bolt has a lot more mass than the barrel, and is not exposed to nearly as much heat when firing, so it doesn't really get hot. But the time it was difficult the handle, the rest of the gun would be massively overheated.
    5
  6630. In the US, the South declared independence and then was attacked by the North. We still call it a civil war.
    5
  6631. I would have like to use an L35, but I don't own one.
    5
  6632. Different Savage.
    5
  6633. Yeah, the price seems awful high to me for what it is.
    5
  6634. Yeah - unfortunately, I don't have one to show.
    5
  6635. There is a whole playlist of them...
    5
  6636. On an M16, the legal "gun" (the lower receiver) and the full-auto fire control parts are in the same part, so when the lower is registered as a machine gun there is nothing else to worry about. On guns where the upper is the registered part, you have the fire control parts in a different, unregulated assembly and that creates this weird system. H&K is the most commonly encountered example because it is also a modular system where one trigger pack can be used in a bunch of different kinds of guns. With something like the FNC there is only one gun configuration, so people aren't trying to migrate their registered sear between multiple guns.
    5
  6637. I would watch the ACP network...
    5
  6638. No. Legally speaking, the guns were not stolen, and there is no legal recourse against their new owners (many of whom bought them in good faith).
    5
  6639. Both parties should be considered, and removing their name does nothing to prevent their customers from seeing this video and inspecting their guns.
    5
  6640. Yes, it will generally lock up the gun. But if the broken-off lug was removed (like in my example) you wouldn't not know it without disassembling the gun.
    5
  6641. Somewhere out the is a Mosin-Nagant rifle designed by a Russian and a Belgian, manufactured in France by Chatellerault, supplied to Russia, updated by the Soviet Union, sold to Finland (or sent to Spain as aid) and then imported into the US.
    5
  6642. It uses a 3D face-mapping system, and can't be tricked by a flat photo - at least that's what Biofire says. It's one of the things I will try when I'm able to get a production model in hand.
    5
  6643. Yup.
    5
  6644. Once fired, it's gone. The bullet leaves the muzzle, the powder burns up, and since it's a caseless round there is nothing left to eject.
    5
  6645. Considering that the "receiver" is half plexiglass and the "barrel" and "cartridges" were all wooden dowels, firing would not work so well. :) It is just a demonstration model.
    5
  6646. The grip panel prevents the ring from moving in that way when it's installed.
    5
  6647. Great!
    5
  6648. +Comrade Medved Yes, the trigger frame could be replaced (only the receiver cannot be, legally).
    5
  6649. Eventually I will get my hands on a 1917 and/or 1918 RSC to video...
    5
  6650. Yes, but much of it has dead primers - so I wouldn't pay much unless I had the chance to try out a few rounds from a batch,
    5
  6651. NormanMatchem  It's good modern factory ammo, and I've never experienced a hangfire with it in any caliber.
    5
  6652. It happens very rarely, only a tiny number of people use older guns. But the solution is generally to fire your one shot, and then unload and show the RO a clear chamber. It takes more time, and that's your penalty for using old gear.
    5
  6653. This is the last one for a while, I promise. :)
    5
  6654. +Jerry Jocoy http://vintageordnance.com
    5
  6655. No, it is not.
    5
  6656. The PU was developed in the early 1940s.
    5
  6657. Occasionally Verdun; that's it.
    5
  6658. American.
    5
  6659. Oui.
    5
  6660. It's an 1890 Berthier carbine.
    5
  6661. If it's really insufficient, yes.
    5
  6662. Yup, the Browning 1919 and 1917 are the same way.
    5
  6663. Heh...this was filmed on an iPhone.
    5
  6664. Actually, I have handled one, although I didn't have the chance to take any video of it (or shoot it). My assessment is that it's not ready for prime-time as a combat rifle. Awkward to handle, and I really dislike the sights.
    5
  6665. That video is coming next week ;)
    5
  6666. It's not so much about the cost of producing ammunition as the logistical ability to distribute that ammunition where it is needed.
    5
  6667. Liability in case anything goes wrong. Put your arm in the wrong place in there and you'll lose it.
    5
  6668. Of course!
    5
  6669. +veryveryintense When they are deactivated like this, they no longer require a $200 tax to transfer (same NFA process, but no tax). That's not a significant part of the cost today, but in the 40s $200 was a big chunk of change, and the guns themselves weren't worth nearly as much. So deactivating made sense for a lot of people.
    5
  6670. Video has been filmed; not sure yet when it will publish.
    5
  6671. Solid Spooks Because the cartridges are too long.
    5
  6672. TShirtCannon French guns are always undervalued, and the Vickers and MG08 are actually relatively common machine guns here in the US. A lot of them came back after WWI and got registered in the 30s or in the 1968 amnesty.
    5
  6673. Nastiest tea you'd ever have had, given the oil and crap in the water jacket...
    5
  6674. +tallthinkev The first Maxims were, but the Vickers was not produced until well after the standardization of smokeless powder.
    5
  6675. Bart Hoving They were sealed at both ends where the barrel went through with gaskets, and had fill plugs at the top and drain plugs at the bottom.
    5
  6676. Contact Chipotle Publishing and ask them how to order in the EU: https://www.chipotlepublishing.com/contact.cfm
    5
  6677. At 10c/per page for photocopying, that would still be almost twice as expensive as buying one of these reprinted copies.
    5
  6678. I have a video filmed; not sure yet when it will publish.
    5
  6679. Snakebiteloo It allows significantly better accuracy.
    5
  6680. +Nate Sturm No, they were not.
    5
  6681. No, the frame is one solid piece.
    5
  6682. I think they would make an excellent gift for your kid! Of course, you'll have to read through them all carefully first to make sure there aren't any errors. :)
    5
  6683. +Gunman1628 I am everywhere! :)
    5
  6684. Not at this time...it is something I have plans for, though.
    5
  6685. The C96 fired a more potent cartridge, and was probably more reliable in adverse conditions. Pistols stocks fell out of favor largely because of the development of reliable self-loading rifles. When these early pistols were developed, you have basically no options for a semiauto rifle and the stocked pistol was an alternative. Laws also contributed - the NFA in the US made them very rare by virtue of tax. In China, they remained very popular in the 30s in large part because of embargoes preventing rifles from being imported into the country, and the stocked pistol again became a popular alternative.
    5
  6686. +Andrew Ince The Luger was adopted by the Germans in 1908, but its design was fully established much earlier, in 1899 or thereabouts.
    5
  6687. https://www.facebook.com/CodyFirearmsMuseum/photos/pcb.2043936869163815/2043935679163934/?type=3&theater
    5
  6688. Yep.
    5
  6689. Nothing, necessarily. But making an airlift version of a really really long range rifle seems pointless.
    5
  6690. GpunktHartman In this case, it is the Mannlicher packet-loading system that was licensed and which gave the rifle its Mannlicher name.
    5
  6691. https://onlinemilitaria.net/products/1436-UK-Trench-Cap/
    5
  6692. If you make one of these in any caliber other than 8x33 (or maybe .22LR), Hugo Schmeisser will awake from the dead and come stab you in your sleep. Ok, on a more serious note there really aren't any good candidates for a different cartridge in one of these. The receiver is too short for 7.62x39, which would be the obvious choice. You could probably fit .30 Carbine, but that's a weird choice (and the mags would look goofy). Really, 8x33 isn't that hard to get, and this gun deserves to use its original cartridge.
    5
  6693. We considered each selling a kidney and splitting ownership, but decided against it.
    5
  6694. +davidgcalderone It was only meant for carrying.
    5
  6695. +Peter Stadlmaier It is a Steyr GB, but the bottle isn't booze. It's Agua Chiltepin. :)
    5
  6696. The gas venting was an early design, which was replaced later in design experimentation. Rather than make a new part, they just plugged the vents.
    5
  6697. A revolver cylinder is not a magazine.
    5
  6698. The Association of Firearm and Toolmark Examiners.
    5

    5
  6700. +Prince Randoms Have you seen this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfhKLuPiXFc
    5
  6701. All of the Steyr S1-100 SMGs had bayonet lugs.
    5
  6702. James Yahnke Nope. Most ended up as displays at memorial sites.
    5
  6703. The gun has to be registered with the government, and there is a tax and background check required to buy/sell it. The ammunition is unregulated if the projectiles are solid. Explosive projectiles are treated the same as the gun as far as regulations go.
    5
  6704. No, the type with the drilled hole was the first one approved, years ago.
    5
  6705. The carry handle doesn't do anything, and isn't set up to be a scope mount. The Ballester is 100% stock; I haven't made any changes to it.
    5
  6706. Not yet - this was my last video from the first trip.
    5
  6707. Yup...
    5
  6708. +David Carnahan I use the pronunciation that Garand used himself; it's just not the one most people use.
    5
  6709. Those systems were never adopted for military use, so I'm not counting them.
    5
  6710. The EM-1 and EM-2 were not related to the SA80. All three designs are bullpups, but otherwise they are completely different.
    5
  6711. Awesome!
    5
  6712. I only dropped it once. The other shooter who dropped it was the owner.
    5
  6713. If a gun is used in self defense, it will almost certainly be confiscated as evidence in the investigation. It will probably (but not necessarily) be returned to the owner after the investigation is finished.
    5
  6714. I agree, but there are basically no such people alive today.
    5
  6715. No, although we can now post things on the App that YouTube won't allow, like gunsmithing and hand loading.
    5
  6716. C&Rsenal has an open door to join at any time. As for other channels, we are specifically only doing channels that have a historical/educational focus. I have nothing against the more entertainment and modern focused channels, but they are outside our intended scope.
    5
  6717. Yep...I had an SMLE give me a lot of trouble in a match a few months ago, after I  went prone with it in some sand, which got into the action.
    5
  6718. +Naomi Nekomimi Sort of, but not quite the same.
    5
  6719. One of the biggest misconception is that this is about YouTube/Google begin leftist. This issue is bigger than that, and it impacts channels across the entire political spectrum.
    5
  6720. One of the biggest misconceptions is that this is about YouTube/Google being leftist. This issue is bigger than that, and it impacts channels across the entire political spectrum.
    5
  6721. Savage made a couple prototype SMLEs, but the contract never happened.
    5
  6722. No, it is specifically exempted from the NFA.
    5
  6723. Correct.
    5
  6724. It's no different at auction than in private sales. Better, actually, because auction companies can be held liable for fraudulent descriptions, so they will almost always tell you if something is real - as long as they are knowledgable enough to determine it themselves. They won't usually be very explicit about it, though - the key is to look for words like "style" and "type" - like "SS style markings" instead of "SS sniper rifle". That means its fake, and they are saying so without attracting attention to the fact. And ultimately, the best preventative measure is to educate yourself and know what you are buying or bidding on whether in an auction or any other transaction.

  6728. Some experiments, but nothing successful.
    5
  6729. Yes.
    5
  6730. As a general rule, there are no reproductions of anything I feature. Not because I would object to that, but because there aren't many reproduction guns made in general outside the Civil War and Old West areas.
    5
  6731. Yes, it is identical to the US M1.
    5
  6732. rEsearch.
    5
  6733. Nope, not even close. A .38 is roughly 9mm, while the M1895 has a 7.62mm barrel.
    5
  6734. Let? I didn''t ask...
    5
  6735. I use the flag form the time and place where a particular gun was introduced. So pre-1994 South African guns get the old flag, and post-1994 ones get the new flag. I do the same thing with every other country.
    5
  6736. I always use the flag for the time and place where a given gun was developed. I use the current SA flag for guns that date to 1994 and later.
    5
  6737. No.

  6739. Sure...but I certainly know which I would rather have for the money.
    5
  6740. TheMGSFan141 YouTube ads are not sufficient. It should say something that the contract you agree to to run YouTube ads specifically prohibits you from discussing how much they actually pay...if it was a lucrative deal, do you think they would need to prohibit people from talking about it?
    5
  6741. Maybe he just likes gun-themed Hawaiian shirts, like I do?
    5
  6742. Bummer! Sorry to hear that. :(
    5
  6743. Nope, semi.
    5
  6744. I know of two; this one and one other: https://youtu.be/wmymjvYZEps
    5
  6745. 125 grains at 2250 fps - virtually identical to .300 Blackout.

    5
  6747. Innovation is not synonymous with quality, and the 240 is a derivative of earlier designs just like the PKM is. Basically, my opinion is based on the fact that the PKM can do everything the 240 can, but weighs less and is simpler. Weight may not seem like that big of a deal, but it makes a big difference. If you have a chance to shoot (or just carry around) a PKM sooner or later, I suspect you will agree.
    5
  6748. That's my current job. ;)
    5
  6749. I worked for a solar power company.
    5
  6750. +Primarch359 The auction itself started yesterday - another series will start in a month or so.
    5
  6751. Yeah, I got a bit mixed up. The range is in WV; Winchester is just over the border in VA.
    5
  6752. Patents are only valid for (typically) 17 years. Any patents on this are long, long expired.
    5
  6753. I just run in a plain weight vest; no rifle or gear.
    5
  6754. Probably a G30R or a Winchester Automatic Rifle.
    5
  6755. Compressed air tank. On most ar guns of that vintage, the air tank is hidden inside the stock.
    5
  6756. No, I have not.
    5
  6757. Yes, actually. That video is coming next week...
    5
  6758. No, but Taiwan did experiment with a Bren in .30-06.
    5
  6759. Possibly. All the more reason not to fiddle with their manual settings.
    5
  6760. +Mohammed Alrawi That is the Tariq; I have a video on one of them.
    5
  6761. Merci! :)
    5
  6762. No.
    5
  6763. Not often...usually a few come up for sale each year.
    5
  6764. No.
    5
  6765. Actually, I will cover the whole MAS semiauto series in the next two weeks. The MAS -44, 49, 49/56, MSE, and NATO models.
    5
  6766. The DPM will be on the 7th and the Walther on the 8th. Don't have the AN94 scheduled (or edited) yet.
    5
  6767. The MG42 is not a light machine gun, it is a general-purpose or universal machine gun. It is a hybrid that does the job of an LMG and an HMG. The Bren is a better LMG than the MG42, but the MG42 is a more useful overall gun, and that its why versions of it are still in service.
    5
  6768. The MG42 is not a light machine gun.
    5
  6769. Howell semiauto conversion of an SMLE.
    5
  6770. Just a combination of temperature, humidity, and sun angle.
    5
  6771. Pretty similar to 7.62x39mm.
    5
  6772. Yes.
    5
  6773. I am in favor of shooting any gun that is mechanically safe, and age alone does not render a gun unsafe. If it's in good shape, go for it.
    5
  6774. Molo9000 The only reason I can think of that the gun itself would behave differently at altitude (as opposed to the synchronizer forcing it to slow down or speed up) would be the lubricating oil becoming more viscous and slowing down the moving parts.
    5
  6775. Out the bottom of the receiver.
    5
  6776. Uzi.
    5
  6777. done: https://youtu.be/E20-m1hbuhk
    5
  6778. Yes, it is - it’s Jordan’s
    5
  6779. +white0devil0 Just Verdun.
    5
  6780. I get to keep the rifle, but was not paid or given any editorial oversight (in fact, nobody at Springfield saw the video until is published this morning). If you have any concern about my honesty, I would encourage you to check out my videos on the VHS-2 tested by France, which were filmed months before I knew these semiautos would be imported, and were not associated with Springfield in any way.
    5
  6781. +Andy47357 Oh, it fits a standard Type 30 bayonet - I tried it off-camera.
    5
  6782. Karl was on the other side of the planet.
    5
  6783. The principle of recoil operation is that the bolt and barrel move backwards while locked together - it's not the same as how the G3 or other roller-delayed guns work.
    5
  6784. I do still read them, actually. :)
    5
  6785. They can climb, yes, and it is very easy to get distracted with a small machine pistol and inadvertently point it in all sorts of unsafe directions.
    5
  6786. I am working on it, but it will be much longer than 10 hours. The first 1000 episodes are already posted on the channel, the rest are coming.
    5
  6787. Karl had a Winchester 1866 tube mag detonate on him once; it can happen.
    5
  6788. Australian cattle dog.
    5
  6789. +alphaprawns http://accurateshooter.net/Blog/lesters002.jpg
    5
  6790. It's going through an NFA transfer and will not arrive until probably early 2018.
    5
  6791. I went to film the Boberg, and got sold on the SIG.
    5
  6792. Yes. But English does not have an equivalent to the Russian letter Ш; we use "sh" to convey that sound.
    5
  6793. They are both coming. The 43 first, and the 41 a bit later.
    5
  6794. +davidgcalderone That is probably true.
    5
  6795. Come now, it's not that bad!
    5
  6796. No, that was a Madsen LMG.
    5
  6797. Alas, no.
    5
  6798. +Michael King Caliber - the 2 is in 5.56mm and the 3 is in 7.62mm.
    5
  6799. If and when I find one, I will.
    5
  6800. Three rounds clips absolutely allow a faster rate of fire than single shot rifles.
    5
  6801. Weight. A bolt action rifle in one of the calibers can be carried and fired by a single person, where a machine gun requires several.
    5
  6802. When I get Volume II in (that one cover WWI guns & ammo) I'll see what I can find on that shell of yours.
    5
  6803. Only in BF1, not in reality.
    5
  6804. No, because it never existed beyond a prototype.
    5
  6805. The owner asked me not to show the serial number. Some people are concerned about that sort of thing, and I do as the gun owner requests.
    5
  6806. The owner asked me not to show the serial number. Some people are concerned about that sort of thing, and I do as the gun owner requests.
    5
  6807. No one expects to get scooped by the historian... :D
    5
  6808. Well, nothing is stopping a museum from buying them...
    5
  6809. swdfsdft Correct. They may not be military trials guns, but they are still extraordinarily rare and desirable pieces.
    5
  6810. Jesse Sisolack It wasn't too bad - I wouldn't say it was significantly different from a 1911 in terms of recoil.
    5
  6811. +Douglas Fulmer The Colt/Browning, definitely.
    5
  6812. Hopefully some day...
    5
  6813. The Czechs submitted the 1933 version of the ZB26 to British trials, and it was adopted as the Bren.
    5
  6814. You can mount it on any STANAG base, so things like SIG Stgw90s, H&K rifles, etc. IMO, it only makes sense on an FR-F2, because it really is an obsolete scope today selling for the price of a really nice modern one.
    5
  6815. Christmas.
    5
  6816. +Axel “Cpt.3L” Schneider Because I meant to say meters, not yards.
    5
  6817. I have seen one in person, but it was broken. Definitely on my list to find for a video.
    5
  6818. Yes
    5
  6819. ***** Not sure where to start on this...for one thing, German SMG design was started by Schmeisser during WWI and had no connection to Fedorov. Also, the K98k was not inferior to the Mosin. As for nationalistic propaganda, well, it's mostly just propaganda on both sides.
    5
  6820. 3x
    5
  6821. I shot the same match with two different guns.
    5
  6822. There was never a factory option to mount a scope, but occasionally gunsmiths did it. https://youtu.be/E6PVd_cuWcM
    5
  6823. Yes, and that's exactly what AO did to sell 1928 pattern guns.
    5
  6824. I am icing my hand right now. :)
    5
  6825. +Adam Diamond I discuss this in more depth on my blog post today, at forgotten weapons.com...
    5
  6826. +phitausundown I am not, and I will thank you to not accuse me of such a thing again! :)
    5
  6827. All of our service rifles were needed in France, and for training anything rifle-shaped would work. The Rosses were a good cheap option.
    5
  6828. No amnesty required for that; until 1986 you could make a register a new machine gun by simply filing the form and paying the tax.
    5
  6829. You should email me a picture of it, at admin@forgottenweapons.com .
    5
  6830. T.J. Mayall's patent cartridge conversion.
    5
  6831. There are no parts kits (so everything would have to be 100% new-manufacture), they are stupidly complicated, and not enough people would be willing to buy them to make reproducing them profitable.
    5
  6832. No, we don't have any range video of a Federov...I don't know if we'll be able to get some down the road.
    5
  6833. They become public on Utreon the same day they publish on YouTube. That can be anywhere from a few days to a month after they are originally uploaded.
    5
  6834. Yes, the sights are that bad. I think the separate charging handles do make sense, because you would often want to reload the two sides independently.
    5
  6835. +Tanker'schreck Handled one, but not shot it.
    5
  6836. +Alexey Ovsienko The antlers are real.
    5
  6837. That shoulder is property of the State, and costs less to replace than the gun.
    5
  6838. No, they would have been predominantly .45ACP 1911s.
    5
  6839. +Jason “cyberspace entity” Doe No, the Remington Model 8 is worse.
    5
  6840. +Graidstin It was a gift from a retired British naval officer, actually.

  6843. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/ak-and-stg-kissing-cousins/
    5
  6844. truckcop1 I just didn't want to fling the brass into the dirt. It ejects just like any other Arisaka.
    5
  6845. Nukle0n Handloading is definitely to more cost effective option, but factory ammo shows up now and then.
    5
  6846. m1994a3jagnew Haven't had an opportunity to yet.
    5
  6847. YouTube demonetized this video immediately upon upload, FWIW.
    5
  6848. I don't know offhand, but probably one of the side plates.
    5
  6849. More coming next week!
    5
  6850. That shipping is a flat amount for up to 6 books, so if you can find another person or two to order together, the shipping drops to a very reasonable amount. I'm sorry it's so pricey to begin with; we just don't have any other option that can ensure a lot of books don't get destroyed in transit.

    5
  6852. https://youtu.be/L0ONIZDTxLY
    5
  6853. No, not in my experience.
    5
  6854. I have access to a live BAR, but since it's not mine I can't take it anywhere without the owner (NFA regs) coming along, so it's unlikely I'll take it to a match like this. Also, while this may sound like heresy, I'm really not that fond of the BAR.
    5
  6855. Heh...sorry about the name! The gun actually doesn't smell much at all, just a whiff of rancid oil. I still haven't taken the time to really clean it. :)
    5
  6856. Yep, pretty much. Until I got it, I wasn't sure how far the Skorpion similarities went, and I was curious about that.
    5
  6857. Unfortunately, it is more complicated than just trimming down the case. The Frommer round has a slight taper than the Browning, and a thinner case mouth. I have a batch of converted brass in progress.
    5
  6858. The question is "What would Stoner do if he was designing the original AR-15 with today's materials" - not what he built later for different purposes.
    5
  6859. I do have an L22A1 video coming.
    5
  6860. Health & Safety.
    5
  6861. I think you're mixing up the StG44, FG42, AR, and M60. The AR has little in common with the StG44, and is certainly not a "copy-paste" of it.
    5
  6862. Keep in mind that the side magazine allowed the whole gun to be 4 or 5 inches shorter than it would otherwise be.
    5
  6863. Kasumi97 Right - the MkB42, both Haenel and Walther versions, was used in limited combat trials on the Eastern front in 1943.
    5
  6864. A Frommer 1910.
    5
  6865. Pretty simple, really - cycling the slide will compress the striker spring and make it ready to fire, and pulling the trigger just releases the striker. Just like a bolt-action rifle. In double action striker designs, the first part of the trigger pull will compress the striker spring if it isn't already compressed.
    5
  6866. That's actually a Varusteleka windproof smock with a CZ patch on it...
    5
  6867. Me too - that was my lesson about not putting substantial money down on a gun before it's actually available.
    5
  6868. Lol, yes he did.
    5
  6869. I don't have video yet, but there is a page at Forgotten Weapons on the Welrod.
    5
  6870. Eventually - I don't have one in the reference collection, though.
    5
  6871. +Alex D In my personal opinion, the 1917.
    5
  6872. The Pattern 14 had not been manufactured in any major quantity in the UK, so none of their factories were tooled up for it (the rifles were all bought from US companies). After WWI the imperative for new rifles was a far lower priority, and development eventually went toward the No.4 Enfield instead.
    5
  6873. I HAVE NO IDEA
    5
  6874. Me too; I've yet to see one in person.
    5
  6875. Yup.
    5
  6876. Yes, they did.
    5
  6877. Yes, it is.
    5
  6878. Yes, it does.
    5
  6879. The specific gun in question must be 50 years old, not the design or model. Or you can petition ATF to add a gun(s) to the C&R list because it/they have specific historic relevance or collectible interest.
    5
  6880. Yep, I filmed a video on three different BXPs.
    5
  6881. You could, but it would be needlessly expensive to make. The 1894 Mondragon straight-pull is like that.
    5
  6882. This was done in the field by British troops. It used to be rare, and is now basically impossible to fine, and people are making their own now.
    5
  6883. Black-dyed British DPM...for use at night, naturally.
    5
  6884. There are more AK variants.
    5
  6885. No, that was Samuel Morse
    5
  6886. No, the left- or right-handedness of a rifle does not have any impact on its accuracy.
    5
  6887. Yes.
    5
  6888. +rogo1230 Absolutely.
    5
  6889. +ealtar Yes, the Beretta 51 was heavily influenced by the P38, and the 51 led to the 92.
    5
  6890. +DoughboyJonesmk2 H&R made semiauto-only examples, called the Model 60.
    5
  6891. +Brass 'n Barrels Firearms Channel My next suggestion would be a set of new springs for the gun; Wolff makes them. Beyond that (ie, general machine gun maintenance stuff) I don't have much to offer. I'm definitely not a Reising armorer.
    5
  6892. Finnish M05 from Varusteleka.
    5
  6893. +Andrew Brown Sure.
    5
  6894. Fortunately, I'm not a car guy so I can suspend disbelief there. 😆 No, not really. That car was terrible.
    5
  6895. Possibly, although none come to mind. There are a number of automatic rifles and light machine guns that work that way, though.
    5
  6896. I wanted an enclosed dot.
    5
  6897. bigred2989 This was a defining feature of Mannlicher style rifles (Steyr M88/90, Steyr M95, Dutch M95, Carcano M91 and M38, Gewehr 88, G98/40, Berthier, etc) would drop the empty clip out the bottom of the action when the last round was chambered. The M1 Garand is similar in function, but ejects the clip out the top when the last round is fired.
    5
  6898. Good question! I can't speak for Japanese procedure (since I can't read their manuals), but with the British Bren gun policy is to zero the sights to hit 1 inch to the right at all distances (the sight axis and bore axis are 1" apart). One inch of difference in POI in a light machine gun is pretty much negligible.
    5
  6899. Like puppy belly fur.
    5
  6900. As far as the shirt design goes, it's because the art folks I work with and I are all adults, and we can make whatever design we want. :) As for YouTube censoring it, I don't know. It wouldn't surprise me if they do at this point, but it is art taken from a particularly famous classical painting.
    5
  6901. Yes, in a little while. :)
    5
  6902. They made it especially for the match.
    5
  6903. 90 Euro
    5
  6904. It doesn't make any changes to the handling. The rotating barrel probably has the potential for better accuracy, but the Obregon was a service pistol and not tweaked for maximum accuracy. I don't expect the average Obregon would exhibit accuracy much different form the average milspec 1911.
    5
  6905. Great gun, not a big fan of the muzzle brake.
    5
  6906. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/mannlicher-1885-semiauto-rifle/
    5
  6907. Having not been institutionally scarred by the L85A1, I only push the bolt handle forward if it actually needs to be done. :)
    5
  6908. @Auto-Fiver_73Pointers Until recently, they had never been imported as anything except a few Vietnam bringbacks. Similar to why the M3 Grease Gun is so much more expensive than the Sten today; the military didn't release any of them for sale.
    5
  6909. The FAL is not accurate enough to fill this role.
    5
  6910. We did adopt it eventually, just not right away.
    5
  6911. @silvanelf1 The book is Harry Derby's "Japanese Military Cartridge Handguns 1893-1945", one of the few (possibly only) print books referencing the Hino-Komuro.
    5
  6912. +INFAMOUSRISING Interesting. Care to explain why it is marked "MAG-7" on the side then?
    5
  6913. Pinnacle Studio 15.
    5
  6914. I would expect $2k-$3k, depending on condition, accessories, etc.
    5
  6915. Continuing education is a critical part of my job. :)
    5
  6916. We still have 1000-yard competition with open sighted rifles, you know...
    5
  6917. I would like to, yes.
    5
  6918. They replaced it with the Chatellerault M24/29 in 1924.
    5
  6919. I would much rather have this than a Trapdoor.
    5
  6920. They didn't use water jackets on aerial guns. Instead, the replaced the jackets with thin ventilated covers, because the airflow in a plane was sufficient to cool the guns.
    5
  6921. You can use an empty case then.
    5
  6922. Anything is possible, but the chances of me getting to a Schwarzlose 1898 are extremely slim, :(
    5
  6923. Schwarzlose 1908 Blow-Forward Pistol
    5
  6924. Yes.
    5
  6925. People expect that every gun ejects the same, and if cases aren't going 8 or 10 feet, something must be wrong. In the case of long-recoil guns like the CSRG (or the Auto-5, or Remington Model 8), ejection is quite gentle because it doesn't happen until chamber pressure is basically zero. What you see here is exactly how a CSRG ought to eject.
    5
  6926. It is a reproduction of an original magazine haversack designed specifically for the Chauchat.
    5
  6927. +Joe Smoe Yup.

  6930. 32
    5
  6931. +dimapez Nope, although I would like to!
    5
  6932. +NeoAcario I consider myself a professional gun nerd. :) My work includes "entertainment" type things like YouTube and also "professional" research work for groups like Armament Research Services.
    5
  6933. Similar, but not quite.
    5
  6934. The bid increment between 2k and 5k is $250, and a $2750 bid plus 15% buyer's premium becomes $3163.
    5
  6935. The historic firearms market has much more in common with the art market than the modern arms market.
    5
  6936. I did watch it when he posted it. I think it contains a significant number of misconceptions. I have not yet watched his followup. To begin with, the Bren and the 42 (in the US, it is never referred to as "Spandau") are made for different roles. The MG42 is not at all inaccurate - if someone spent 45 minutes not getting hit at 20 yard it was because they were not the target. Firsthand accounts, like eyewitness criminal testimony, must always be taken with a grain of salt. Some are excellent; some are not.
    5
  6937. Yup. There is a specific way to hold the grips that was drilled into Vickers crewmen. If you pause the introduction segment, you can see that I am holding my pinky fingers under the grip frame, which seems to me to be the best solution - but the official way was to hold your index fingers above the top of the frame.
    5
  6938. Two things. First, the booster supports the front end of the barrel. Since the mechanism requires the barrel to move back and forth with each shot, it needs a bearing surface at the front and back to keep the barrel in proper position. Secondly, the booster is a surface that the muzzle blast hits which increases the amount of force pushing the barrel back, which helps it run reliably.
    5
  6939. No, it's straight.
    5
  6940. Yeah, I am kicking myself for not noticing the LP08 notch. The takedown lever is correct; it's an East German made one and they were slightly distinct from other manufacturers.
    5
  6941. Yup, they will start this week.
    5
  6942. Lol. :)
    5
  6943. Yes, it is outside Brescia.
    5
  6944. I would love to, but it would require two things. First, enough interest to justify a full print run. Second, a French distributor. We would have to ship the whole run to France and have it distributed there, rather than mailing books individually from the US to France. If you know of a shop that would be able to buy something like 500 copies to do this, please have them contact us!

  6945. There was a block of wood on the backstop, but I was not aiming at it, so what looks like a huge miss is not really.
    5
  6946. The MAS-44 did not see any active service before the end of WW2.
    5
  6947. I would love to - gotta wait until I can get my hands on one though. I have articles on all three versions of the 1896 on the web site, if you haven't seen them.
    5
  6948. charli0072003 Yep, Astra 400s are actually relatively common over here. Sooner or later I'll do some video on the whole series of Astra pistols. Same with Stars, actually - some of the early ones are pretty interesting.
    5
  6949. They are chambered in 9mm Largo, but that's 9x23 (not 9x21). They were in Spanish service from 1905 until 1912, when the Campo Giro was adopted. Apparently they were still used by Spanish police up until 1939.
    5
  6950. He was German, and patented it in multiple countries to prevent it from being copied.
    5
  6951. ***** My reply to people who feel cheater by watching an ad is to shrug, and say "TANSTAAFL".
    5
  6952. Here's my previous (more complete) explanation: https://youtu.be/SZa2GFN7kNg
    5
  6953. ***** Yes.
    5
  6954. Lol, no. In fact, Finland had to pay reparations to Russia after WW2...
    5
  6955. Are you volunteering your M1?
    5
  6956. Well, here's one with a semiautomatic Madsen LMG: https://youtu.be/CmIt90cndrk
    5
  6957. It seemed like the most convenient place to put it. Armored division rules at Finnish Brutality require a knife within one-hand reach, and my backpack interfered with putting it most places on my belt.
    5
  6958. That was a proper Old Norse poem about the match, which Jackson wrote on the spur of the moment at the Stoma bar. :) And yes, he joined us for the match; I have a video with him about it coming in a little while.
    5
  6959. And the Federov is far from the rarest thing in there. ;)

  6961. There is no conceivable way I could do something better than the two Len has written.

  6966. John Wizeman Yes, a Makarov.
    5
  6967. Not sure about the Reagan shirt, but my Garand shirt came from 1791 Apparel (http://1791apparel.com/)
    5
  6968. DeadpoolDeadcool Completely legal, because the M92 is a registered SBR.
    5
  6969. Yes, they are reproductions.
    5
  6970. ivan malpass That the front of the gun is heavy relative to the rest.
    5
  6971. No, the open slot was standard in the early Suomi box mags.
    5
  6972. There will be soon. A friend of mine (Chuck at GunLab) did a little bit of shooting with one, and took video for me. I just need to edit it together and post it. :)
    5
  6973. pinz2022 I have not, because both auction houses have pretty strict privacy policies for both consigners and buyers. I have had some folks approach me about doing shooting videos on guns they plan to take to auction (I have three such ones filmed and ready to go once the guns go up for sale, but haven't published any of them yet), and I know some high-end collectors who have let me shoot guns they won from one house or the other.
    5
  6974. There were about 250 made by Vickers, plus a handful of US test trials rifles. You will see them in auctions like this every once in a while, and not many other places.
    5
  6975. The Generalissimo No, but it is something I have been looking into. For the Pedersen, though, I should note that I just did a bunch of shooting with one about a week ago, and will have video of in (including lots of slow motion) coming shortly! :)
    5
  6976. +raider762 Yes and yes.
    5
  6977. No, it's an M27 Lebel.
    5
  6978. ***** A Star 30M this time.
    5
  6979. David M. I don't have much experience with the SVT, but Karl's experience is that the gas system is touchy. Different ammo lots require different settings, and there doesn't seem to be a good one-size-fits-all position.
    5
  6980. No, but I will get one on my next trip there.
    5
  6981. They did.
    5
  6982. The No2 was a .22 training rifle and the No3 was the Pattern 1913 Enfield.
    5
  6983. They made a lot more Mk V rifles than Mk VI ones.
    5
  6984. There is basically no felt recoil on this. It's fantastic to shoot.
    5
  6985. Revolvers are generally not good at using bottlenecked cartridges.
    5
  6986. Not in this one - Premier auctions are typically beyond my budget.
    5
  6987. There is no Arisaka blowing up video, but I did this with a Ross: https://youtu.be/EaSui_UqDX8
    5
  6988. Nope, only the three specifically listed by name do. Your 870 is legal because the barrel is 18"+ and the overall length is 26"+.
    5
  6989. When the ruling was made, there were no Saigas in the US.
    5
  6990. I'm working on it...
    5
  6991. The Protecta is very similar - better quality, and has automatic ejection (except the last round, which needs to be ejected manually).
    5
  6992. No, it's just structurally not a place for long-form video.
    5
  6993. It was, but it was quickly un-adopted, leaving the designation available.
    5
  6994. +EliteDeltaTeam Horse pistols were typically carried in a pair of holsters mounted over the pommel of the saddle.
    5
  6995. +nick highland It would be considered a short barreled rifle.

    5
  6997. +WorldEagleKW Yes, it headspace on the rim.
    5
  6998. Not yet.
    5
  6999. It's a C79 Elcan.
    5
  7000. It's a C79 Elcan.
    5
  7001. Why not?
    5
  7002. https://youtu.be/IelUFboWuOA
    5
  7003. No, it was not adopted in any numbers.
    5
  7004. Typically about 2000fps. It's a tradeoff between frame rate and video quality.
    5
  7005. That rule exists because multiple people have hurt themselves doing one-handed throws at previous Brutality matches. Even if you can do it safely, you will get more distance with two hands.
    5
  7006. The new designation is Lancée à la Main Acier F1.
    5
  7007. Science has conclusively proven that grunting makes it go farther.
    5
  7008. +Andrew Ihle I have two of them. Would take them in a heartbeat rather than this thing.
    5
  7009. +Jacob Westphal Yes, it is shorter.
    5
  7010. With the exception of the occasional piece that has worn or broken parts, they are all fireable.
    5
  7011. Yes - with this exact holster, in fact (and my Makarov, too).
    5
  7012. Wait until you see the one with the Chinese 5-color banner in a couple weeks.
    5
  7013. Yeah, I think it probably is. I would put new springs in, but I'd do that with any C96.
    5
  7014. It's the Bolo model.
    5
  7015. No, 7.63 Mauser
    5
  7016. Yes.
    5
  7017. Surplus Austrian M80 ball.
    5
  7018. WaddleOfShame It loads from the top, and the bottom of the magwell is permanently open (like a Carcano).
    5
  7019. Well, bnz is the code for Steyr-Daimler-Puch, which did use slave labor at the Mauthausen concentration camp. Whether part or all of a particular bnz rifle was made by forced labor depends on the date and circumstance, though - Steyr sourced parts from a lot of shops. My understanding is that there was a lot of sabotage in the heat treating done at Mauthausen, so I might not want to shoot a bnz rifle dated 43 or later.
    5
  7020. +Matthew Choquette GunLab is currently working on the VG1-5, which can be pre-ordered from Allegheny Arsenal (www.mg34.com).
    5
  7021. Adam Thomas When I run out of interesting existing ones to study. :)
    5
  7022. It's always been arbitrary. On Maxim-type guns, it has actually switched between the left and right side plates at least once or twice.
    5
  7023. Actually, you can add rounds to an M1 clip while it's in the rifle.
    5
  7024. Aside from the skins, it has very very little to do with WW1.
    5
  7025. If you are a Patron, you will already see my post for you.
    5
  7026. Not that I’m aware of, no
    5
  7027. +Andrew Ince No, they are slightly different.
    5
  7028. +Kadzie O'Nayl Bore diameter. Specifically, how many lead balls of the bore diameter are required to make a pound.
    5
  7029. Saturday
    5
  7030. We didn't have a proper Maxim belt, and were using an MG34 belt instead. The Maxim feed block doesn't have pawls in the right place to feed the -34 belt, so it must be manually pulled through. The Germans did actually make a feed block that could use 34 belts without assistance, but those are quite rare.
    5
  7031. It's the same company, they just changed the name.
    5
  7032. I think I've got some pretty cool stuff planned out for the next couple months... :)
    5
  7033. Yup, the MAG is basically an upside-down belt-fed BAR.
    5
  7034. Auction is irrelevant, because they are available new in stock at BRP Corp's web site.
    5
  7035. Yes, and I have video on that config coming later.
    5
  7036. No problem - it's a voluntary thing.
    5
  7037. No, just .50
    5
  7038. And, FWIW, the G4 was the Armalite AR10.
    5
  7039. These were all recorded a week or so ago - but I did one on the Krummlauf. It'll publish next Thursday.
    5
  7040. Well, tell your friends! :) I've got 14 more Rock Island videos coming out in the next two weeks.
    5
  7041. Someone did pay the transfer tax stamp. In the 40s, it was still legal to import machine guns legally, so he might have done that. He might also have just brought it home, and then registered it (the Treasury was far more tolerant of that sort of thing back then). Or someone might have amnesty registered it in 1968 - I haven't seen the paperwork for the gun, so I don't know which is the case.
    5
  7042. Burst is automatic
    5
  7043. Fredrik Häll Yeah, I think this one needs a new extractor.
    5
  7044. Works fine either way. "ACP" stands for Automatic Colt Pistol.
    5
  7045. Indeed.
    5
  7046. Thanks! After we got his cover art, we ended up hiring him to do the whole layout, and it's looking awesome. :)
    5
  7047. https://youtu.be/_hvgZ3qxzbw
    5
  7048. There was a big trade deal between the Royal Armouries and the Sotamuseo a couple decades ago.
    5
  7049. "Nice deadlift form"
    5
  7050. No, the large frame ones used rifle cartridges.
    5
  7051. Yeah, sorry about that. They were meant to be scheduled to go live much later, but I made a mistake in setting them up.
    5
  7052. I have a lot of books and reference sites; what I use depends on what I'm trying to find information on.
    5
  7053. No, that took place several months later on the southern perimeter of the airfield.
    5
  7054. I visited SA for filming earlier this year.
    5
  7055. Kraut is no more a slur than Yank is.
    5
  7056. xXxBlackwaterXxX It didn't spread around him, Brocious' shot missed to the side, and a couple of the pellets went through Earp's open coat.
    5
  7057. That one is coming in a few weeks
    5
  7058. Potayto potahto
    5
  7059. +Paul Lonergan No, it moves so fast you don't notice it.
    5
  7060. I think we will have to agree to disagree on this one.
    5
  7061. +Josh Simmons I disagree. One should not handle weapons (guns or otherwise) while intoxicated, but there is no reason why one cannot responsibly partake of alcohol and also be a responsible firearms owner.
    5
  7062. The rifle that people always claim will do 1 MOA all day is inevitably a Remington 700 with a light barrel in 243 Ultra Mag with a gold band Leupold scope
    5
  7063. +TheBloke Recreating ammunition for something like this is a process of development, making slight changes many times until just the right recipe of powder type, powder volume, case dimensions, and projectile is found. This process could potentially damage the gun, and very few owners would be willing to take that chance. And even if they do, the ammo development process would be fairly expensive and time consuming. It's something I might conceivably do for a gun or two in my own personal collection, but completely unfeasible for a gun at an auction house.
    5
  7064. https://calamityware.com/products/calamityware-mug-1-things-could-be-worse
    5
  7065. Yep, definitely. I have them in my sidebar links on the main Forgotten Weapons site.
    5
  7066. Yep, that's true on the Ljungman.
    5
  7067. Awesome, thank you!
    5
  7068. I already have 5 or 6 videos on different types of LeMat, actually.
    5
  7069. I did an entire series on the SA80 development, including the A2 and A3.
    5
  7070. The trunnion is the block that connects the barrel and receiver. It is permanently attached to both, and not disassemble-able.

  7074. +ryan moeller I was pretty stoked about it. :)
    5
  7075. +tony Wyatt Nope, not worried at all.
    5
  7076. +Shakaleesh Running Forgotten Weapons (the blog and video channel) is my fulltime job. I recently started a Patreon account to help fund them; my other income comes from video advertising and a couple web site sponsors.
    5
  7077. +BranchySpore700 Virtually impossible to find here.
    5
  7078. It's not trivial, because IIRC the Arisaka barrel threads are different than our standards today. You probably can't buy a barrel off the shelf to fit an Arisaka receiver, but if you have a lathe you could certainly cut the threads on a barrel blank easily enough.
    5
  7079. Yes.
    5
  7080. ***** Not really similar.
    5
  7081. The Type 99 is a short rifle; similar to the SMLE.
    5
  7082. It would have looked like the Finnish M39.

    5
  7086. That's a factory cutaway No4 MkI Lee Enfield. The Model 8 shooting/disassembly video is coming soon...
    5
  7087. That’s the release for the stock. You push it forward to unlock.
    5
  7088. Tell them to write that WW1 book!
    5
  7089. Yup, you will.
    5
  7090. I don't know - sorry.
    5
  7091. Yes, although shipping is pricey
    5
  7092. Next time I visit Poland. I didn't have a chance to film one on this trip.
    5
  7093. 7.62 x25mm. My first magazine is limited to 5 rounds by match rules, because it's not a small pistol.
    5
  7094. The Gras is easy to find; no need for reproductions.
    5
  7095. East of Croatia and west of Bulgaria.
    5
  7096. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBKqvLpxpU4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFerkFl3Yt4
    5
  7097. It's a French 1915, with no liner. Found it in a pawn shop.
    5
  7098. +88pie88 It was much simpler.
    5
  7099. Sure, it's possible. Doesn't require 3D printing either; someone willing to spend enough time could make one that would technically work proficiently. It would still be useless in a practical sense though. Other corner shot type of things have come out, and none of them catch on.
    5
  7100. +German Redneck Thanks!
    5
  7101. +Thomas Myers Correct, it didn't.
    5
  7102. Yeah, it is definitely not compatible with PT92 mags. Doesn't come with a threaded muzzle either, although that's simple enough to fix.
    5
  7103. Whoops - because it was embedded in a review of the CT-9 on TheFirearmBlog.com .
    5
  7104. Yes, I am.
    5
  7105. +linglingjr That range is where they anticipate the lot selling.
    5
  7106. In Russian yes, in this case it does not. Both he fixed and folding stock Polytech rifles were designated AKS.
    5
  7107. Oh, they are well aware of it.
    5
  7108. Probably just the English. My ancestors left because of crap just like that. ;)
    5
  7109. Yep, it can use the 20-round ZB-26/30 magazines.
    5
  7110. It was issued on strips
    5
  7111. I use the flag from the time and place where a gun was used. In this case, the Persian flag at that time still had a lion on it.
    5
  7112. Thanks!
    5
  7113. Yes. Forgotten Weapons is not demonetized like InRange.
    5
  7114. Typically about $100, here in the US.
    5
  7115. It's indexed by the cut in the muzzle brake, so it could actually end up in different orientations on different rifles.
    5
  7116. Some of the steel was set heavy this time.
    5
  7117. We just sent out an update email on Tuesday - paper arrived this week and the printing process is beginning. We are anticipating arrival in our warehouse at the end of February.
    5
  7118. 30 days; it ends December 16.
    5
  7119. +raider762 No, the rounds I shot were modern handloads.
    5
  7120. One could also argue that military arms are not private civilian property, and taking them is not looting of any sort.
    5
  7121. Yup, they are in process. Should be available some time next month.
    5
  7122. The Rogak is actually not gas delayed; they left the gas ports out of it.
    5
  7123. +Molo9000 Not all guns had them, but a lot did. They aren't all that hard to find today.
    5
  7124. +Dan's Hope Yes, I am differentiating between LMGs and GPMGs. While their roles overlapped, they are distinct types of guns. Other LMGs include the Type 11, Vickers-Berthier, ZB-26, ZB-30, LMG-25, Chatellerault 24/29, DP28, LS-39, RPD, etc.
    5
  7125. JimJamtheSailor The flats are not quite parallel, so the axis pin can only be installed one way.
    5
  7126. Testing the shooters' skill was part of the idea - as I asked at the beginning, the question was whether the faster Enfield could make up for a poorer shooter. FWIW, I do have a decent bit of experience reloading the Enfield, but it gave me trouble this time around (and I think the mag spring may be a bit weak; a lot of the fumbling you saw was me fixing failures to feed when the bolt rode partially over a cartridge.
    5
  7127. +Philly Pa You do not want flaming drizzle in your face. :)
    5
  7128. Sorry, but we just don't have enough Australian sales to make a special setup practical. Best option is to find a buddy or two who are also interested and order together. That will cut the per-book shipping down a lot.
    5
  7129. We tried extensively to find an American printer for this book a year ago. We literally could not find a company that could both produce the features we need (the gilding, spine hubs, embossing, etc) and was willing to do the job (our original printer for Chassepot to FAMAS declined to even give us a quote).
    5
  7130. Yes, we do have some that will be available from Varusteleka after our preorders ship.
    5
  7131. Marstar is licensed to have Prohibited items.
    5
  7132. Yes, of course - all of my content will continue to be posted, for free, on YouTube.
    5
  7133. No, because there would be no feed lips to hold the center round in place.
    5
  7134. Yes, the 1895 Russian Nagant works this way. The Mexican military (a small mounted police unit, anyway) bought a batch of Belgian-made Nagant carbines with the gas-seal design. If I can ever find one, I will definitely do a video on it.
    5
  7135. The percussion LeMat pistols were .42 caliber.
    5
  7136. It was pulled from the auction.
    5
  7137. I couldn't get the camera to focus on the reticle, sorry. It's identical to these, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7Gtn-OD6jg
    5
  7138. I understand that it is offensive to some people, but it is history and one cannot and should not pretend it did not happen. Showing that flag does not mean that I condone the regime it represents, just as I do not condone the fascist governments of Spain, Italy, and Germany despite showing those flags as well.
    5
  7139. Yes, I know of a couple.
    5
  7140. I haven't done any video on Krags yet, but plan to.
    5
  7141. +Kaiser Fireclean.
    5
  7142. +LMW No, it is not true. At least not according to one of the top old MG smiths in the country, who says he has reactivated more than 2 dozen and never had a parts interchangeability problem even between manufacturers.
    5
  7143. Then I guess it explains what he knows too.
    5
  7144. DUK3NUK3M1 Can do that too.
    5
  7145. If I find one, I will.
    5
  7146. Too powerful for a blowback action.
    5
  7147. Virtually nobody would recognize them, and everyone who did would say I should have used different ones. :)
    5
  7148. That's a great deal if it's in original condition; not so much if it's sporterized.
    5
  7149. That would be from when Blofeld sent a robot from the future to assassinate Bond.
    5
  7150. Yes
    5
  7151. I just like Hawaiian shirts, especially when it hits 105F here in southern Arizona.
    5
  7152. +Hisoka2012 They wanted to replace the M1 with a box-mag rifle in the new 7.62mm NATO cartridge.
    5
  7153. +ActorTimo If I can find one...they are not common in the US.
    5
  7154. I believe there was one K43 made in Kurz as an experiment.
    5
  7155. I like the 8mm Kurz, but its large diameter body makes for unusually long magazines. I think it compares pretty well to 7.62x39, although it does not have the long-range flat trajectory that 5.56x45 offers.
    5
  7156. ***** It's semiauto, so...pull the trigger faster. If it were full-auto (which it was not), the rate of fire could be increased by lightening the reciprocating mass of the bolt, although that would be done at the cost of lifespan of the areas where the slide assembly slams into the receiver.
    5
  7157. I bought it at the distillery a year or so ago.

  7158. Nukle0n I think it's important to keep in mind that almost all of the early machine pistols had stocks that doubled as holsters. That allows you to carry the gun and use it as a pistol in semiauto when necessary, but then when you want more firepower you can mount the stock and switch to full auto. This is potentially better than a subgun because it's a lot easier to carry around a holstered pistol than a slung SMG. I shot a 2-day pistol match recently with a stocked Browning High Power and that was something I found that I hadn't expected. I got a definite improvement in accuracy from having the stock, but when I wasn't shooting I could just clip the whole thing to my belt and it didn't interfere in movement or other activities the way a true long gun would have.
    5
  7159. elektro3000 I only have a little bit of experience shooting a vz61. It's easier to use as a pistol because of the lighter cartridge. Not sure if it's controllable enough to actually be practical that way. I am a big fan of stocked pistols, though, and making them stocked machine pistols is an excellent improvement. :)
    5
  7160. In between. The brass case was 136mm long (5.5 inches). The projectile adds another two inches or so to the overall length.

  7164. By hand - wouldn't be too difficult on well greased wheels and tracks.
    5
  7165. Sure, that's because I made them and I am not a welder.
    5
  7166. His patents on the 1911 were expired by 1924, and he had sold the rights to Colt anyway..
    5
  7167. Yes, I filmed a couple videos there. They will be coming out in the next few months.
    5
  7168. Sort of - the first versions of the SA80 made by Enfield (they weren't called SA80 at the time, obviously) were in 4.85mm. The program was converted to 5.56mm before anything was adopted or went into mass production.

  7170. I don't know yet. We are working on having the WWSD2020 available in the EU; I expect that will come first.
    5
  7171. Part of the idea was to bring as much oft he manufacture under one roof as possible, both to reduce cost and to prevent 3rd party supply shortfalls. Nothing wrong with other hand guards, but KE's is the best solution for this.
    5
  7172. If you really need it shorter, Echo93 can do it.
    5
  7173. This is the opposite - since we can't put out complete 2020 rifles, there is no cash flow to lose from them. Hudson was using steel guns to finance aluminum ones, and losing sales of steel ones caused problems.
    5
  7174. It’s in Norway, so it’s a zero stamp gun. In the US it would be two, because the suppressor tube is removable.
    5
  7175. No, they were originals.
    5
  7176. I bought my ammo in Finland.

    5
  7187. I have a full video on the RP46 coming next week.
    5
  7188. Talk to a NJ lawyer, but as far as I can tell, you could legally have a semiauto DP27 if it was the DP27 and not DPM (no pistol grip) and you welded on the booster - on the semiauto guns the muzzle cone is closed up to act as a booster and doesn't function as a flash hider. For magazines, if you put on an RP-46 belt-feed adapted you could run 10-round belt segments legally. How's that for an unintended consequence? Belt feed is okay but magazines aren't? :)
    5
  7189. An oversight on my part, which I am fixing now - sorry!
    5
  7190. They are really clumsy to carry. Basically everyone went to belts instead by the late 40s or early 50s.
    5
  7191. You can also get it for $1/month through Patreon, FYI.
    5
  7192. Sure, admin@forgottenweapons.com . Thanks!
    5
  7193. Thanks - I added the link.
    5
  7194. Yes, there are open bolt guns without fixed firing pins. Basically all non-SMGs, really. Some have hammers and some use other systems.
    5
  7195. Have you ever seen both of us in the same place at the same time?
    5
  7196. Yes, it is.
    5
  7197. They are custom molded in-ear plugs, but don;'t have any electronic bits. Just plugs.
    5
  7198. I use the flag from the time/place where a particular gun originated. I use both the pre-94 and post-94 flags for South Africa, depending on the date of the gun in question.
    5
  7199. john m It's free to watch the full video. Just like the end of the teaser here says.

  7200. The full video is only available on Full30.com . It's one click away - that's not so difficult to get to, right? Thank you!

  7201. RobertoDonatti Forgotten Weapons is still 100% available on YouTube. InRange is exclusive to Full30.
    5
  7202. Pretty much the worst .32 I have shot, as far as recoil goes.
    5
  7203. We are actively working on one :)
    5
  7204. Yes, it will be available on its own after the Kickstarter (for full retail price).
    5
  7205. Eventually I will. Didn't have enough time at this shoot to do more than just fire it.

  7206. Definitely the pipes.

  7209. Kilos, not pounds - and there was a lot of friction going over rocks and gravel.
    5
  7210. There were some female competitors, yes. Each squad did a different set of stages each day though, so there was no day 1 winner.
    5
  7211. It was not a production gun at that time.
    5
  7212. You and I can be...good friends.
    5
  7213. It is a firearm, and would require the same paperwork as a C&R handgun.
    5
  7214. Nothing (well, almost nothing) is too rare to shoot! :) No, we just had too little time with the owner of this piece, and it wasn't possible to do a range trip with him.
    5
  7215. It really is a shame that the .308 conversions were so poorly executed - I'd love to have a reliable on in .308 so I could shoot it more.

    5
  7222. I have a Model 8 as well, and it's an outstanding gun. What it doesn't have, though, is the capacity for sustained fire. Once it heats up, it will jam. Keep in mind that it uses the same operating system as the Chauchat LMG (rotating bolt and long recoil action). It's a great sporting rifle, but not a good basis for a military rifle.
    5
  7223. No, they were long out of production by WWII.
    5
  7224. The gun comes with one; up to you to get more. That said, it's not like this is something you're going to need more than 2 or 3 for, is it?
    5
  7225. There was a commemorative rifle match, with SMLEs.
    5
  7226. Lucky bastards...
    5
  7227. What you are really buying is registration paperwork.
    5
  7228. GeFlixes I expect that there will be no work done to get this pistol working better. It is not a gun that will see much shooting - in fact, I would not be surprised my shooting here it the last live fire it sees for many years. With guns as rare and valuable as this one, gunsmithing work of virtually any kind is often detrimental to value.
    5
  7229. +Daniel van Slooten No, shooting doctrine as of WWI was still very much one-handed.

  7233. If you read up on owners' reports about the M76 online, you'll find plenty of references to the follower issue - so I knew to expect it.
    5
  7234. Yes.
    5
  7235. @jl6569 Clockwork Basilisk has taken a lot longer than we wanted, but it is in the final stages of printing now (we just got our advance copies this week).
    5
  7236. It's in the book, I just haven't had an opportunity to film one yet.
    5
  7237. +Ace Riley No.
    5
  7238. Open side door, insert powder and projectiles, close door.
    5
  7239. Yes, you can dump all the rounds in the mag by pressing the latch on the bottom surface.
    5
  7240. sharpie443 Yeah, DDs are treated just like suppressors or SBRs/SBSs. They are actually less regulated than machine guns, because you can still manufacture new ones - there is no transferrable vs dealer-only issue. The license you are thinking of is the license to manufacture DDs as a business.
    5
  7241. Relegated solely to Instagram where it belongs.
    5
  7242. +Seamus Makes sense, given that they were being made at the same time and place.
    5
  7243. No, he used an M28-30 Mosin.
    5
  7244. If you disagree, explain why.
    5
  7245. If there is demand, I'm sure we will consider it - but we are starting with the standard 16" model.
    5
  7246. No, I don't think I will.
    5
  7247. I'm really looking forward to doing a longer video on the CSRG, but I don't know when it will be possible. We do have a Lebel manual posted on the web site, and will be doing a video on it before too long.

  7248. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hvgZ3qxzbw
    5
  7249. The typical range seems to be about $350 to $500, depending on condition. They don't tend to sell very fast, though, so if you find one that has been sitting in a shop for a while you might be able to talk the price down.
    5
  7250. It is basically halfway between 7.62 NATO and 7.62x39.
    5
  7251. Generally speaking, single action means that the hammer or striker is fully cocked when the trigger is pulled. Not the case with the Semmerling.
    5
  7252. Rifles used bayonets, but carbines did not.
    5
  7253. It's a shot timer; it hears each shot and records the time elapsed since the starting beep. Hits are tracked by naked eye; with a bit of practice it's easy to tell hits from misses between the sound and the visual signature.
    5
  7254. +StFlorianPrayForUs The problem is traveling with things like backdrops and lights.

    5
  7256. Yeah, it is very pricey.
    5
  7257. Next week.
    5
  7258. Actually, several of the early Browning designs used heel releases (1900, 1902 Sporting & Military, 1905, etc).
    5
  7259. No, Lewis guns were not made in Australia - production was at BSA in the UK and Savage in the US. Some spare parts were made in Australia, but not complete guns.
    5
  7260. Yes, they were (without the radiators, generally).
    5
  7261. Sorry, 8mm Mauser.
    5
  7262. Thanks - glad you think so!
    5
  7263. Thanks!
    5
  7264. With jumps like that, you should be on our Olympic team.
    5
  7265. Yeah - he wanted to make sure his answers were all technically correct, so he used French. Our translator was giving me a running English version, which I edited out of the video.
    5
  7266. I think you meant improve.
    5
  7267. Yep, that was the military solution to the problem. I have a British friend who was forcibly made right-handed. Not fun. I'll stick with my debilitating handicap, thank you. :)
    5
  7268. NoGoufy It's actually not bad to wear, except for the restriction on arm movement.
    5
  7269. If you release the trigger quickly enough, it will only fire one or two. It does reset each time, though.
    5
  7270. Part of it (I don't recall the percentage) is distributed to creators relative to the time you spend watching each of their videos.
    5
  7271. The pan fits 25 rounds in each tier, but the track to feed them down into the action takes up the space of three rounds. So the standard mag is 25+22 (47) and the aircraft mag is 25+25+25+22 (97).
    5
  7272. Like, say, Peter Jackson? :) http://www.thevintageaviator.co.nz
    5
  7273. "The enemy cannot push a button if you disable his hand". Tanks are tight enclosed environments and bullet shrapnel inside causes a lot of problems for the crew.
    5
  7274. I expect we will cover the DeLisle sooner or later. We don't have access to an original, but we do have a friend with a very good reproduction.
    5
  7275. Different people and organizations have different safety protocols.
    5
  7276. Unfortunately, no. Their museum curator retired a few months before I visited.
    5
  7277. I have a video on a semiauto M95 coming next week, actually...and you can check out the Huot semiauto conversion of the Ross at my web site: http://www.forgottenweapons.com/light-machine-guns/huot/
    5
  7278. I had limited options.
    5
  7279. No, it's an Ohio Ordnance HCAR.
    5
  7280. It was all aboveboard, but names have been withheld to protect the helpful. :)
    5
  7281. +strilight Within reason, yes.
    5
  7282. Eventually, yes, but not in this series.
    5
  7283. Only if you are British.
    5
  7284. I think it certainly has potential. It would be interesting to see the roller-bearing trigger done properly, to see if it could really deliver a better trigger press than the traditional type of design.
    5
  7285. Sorry - I have no control over the ads.
    5
  7286. It's a British Royal Navy pullover. That one was given to me by a retired officer friend, but I'm sure they are available as surplus.
    5
  7287. I went through all the major differences in the video - the biggest one is the normal chamber, where the original guns used an unorthodox chamber design that held pressure a bit longer in the extraction process. The FCG is also different, of course, but does function on the same basic principle. As for quality of workmanship, I would rate the SMG repro higher than the original guns.
    5
  7288. Can you give me any more information on that new semiauto model? Is it being advertised anywhere yet, or can we see some photos? I would appreciate an email - my address is admin at forgottenweapons. Thanks!
    5
  7289. Yes, but they do also make them in .308 (using M14 mags).
    5
  7290. No, Dittrich's version is an almost exact copy. His semiauto conversion is easily bypassed, and thus won't pass ATF scrutiny.
    5
  7291. Can't any more, sorry. The Premium Membership program was shut down when I started my Patreon account.
    5
  7292. +xwrn I think the problems with the Type 94 are much overblown. One of these days I will do a full video on it...
    5
  7293. Nothing stops a museum form buying it, or a person from buying it and donating it to a museum.
    5
  7294. They disabled the ejectors to prolong case life.
    5
  7295. Just wait until we get to some Danish pronunciation.
    5
  7296. It's pretty much like the reset on a staple gun.
    5
  7297. Probably not, given the cost of the tooling to do it. :(
    5
  7298. No, they are very different.
    5
  7299. L'etoile royale
    5
  7300. I didn't take a prize.
    5
  7301. Karl was not able to attend this match.
    5
  7302. Sadly, no.
    5
  7303. ***** Y'know, we did the same thing here in the US. Consider the M1: rifle, carbine, and submachine gun, all different but with the same number. :)
    5
  7304. The centerfire cartridge was smokeless.
    5
  7305. Most of them were in .303 British caliber, but they used a different magazine (they were developed before the Bren). Vickers was happy to build the guns in any caliber, though, and they were also made (some for trials; some for production runs) in 7mm Mauser, .30-06, 8mm Lebel, and others.
    5
  7306. Nope, older footage I hadn't used yet. Sorry.
    5
  7307. If it wiggles with the screw tightened all the way down, something is wrong.
    5
  7308. I will talk about this next week.
    5
  7309. Yes, they could be adapted to other pistol cartridges, in theory. The .38 Special would be a tough one, though, because its rim makes magazine design difficult. The Finnish gun you are thinking of is probably the Suomi.
    5
  7310. I would keep an eye on GunBroker and the classified boards at Weapons Guild.
    5
  7311. Only Gatlings made in .45 Gatling. Each contract for Gatling guns specified the cartridge the client wanted, and it could be a wide selection - .45-70, .43 Spanish, .42 Berdan, or many others.
    5
  7312. Yres, that is correct (except for the handful of survivors, which "fell off the truck".
    5
  7313. I can do that right now: It's a PPK with a ton of gaudy gold embellishment. Goering never did anything with it but own it.
    5
  7314. Yes.
    5
  7315. The striker is cocked when you open the level.
    5
  7316. Some of that is in there. :) Also: https://www.headstamppublishing.com/posters/poster-chassepot-to-famas
    5
  7317. Yup.
    5
  7318. Yes, the London Metropolitan Police adopted a Webley semiauto, and I'm sure other agencies did as well.
    5
  7319. Be patient, it will come :)
    5
  7320. For accurately putting canisters through windows, mostly.
    5

    5
  7325. I don't feel bad, because even the Danes replying here can't agree on how it should be pronounced. :)
    5
  7326. I understand - my target audience for this is people who run gun channels, and they are very aware of the current crisis. Basically, YouTube has issued channel strikes to several channels for showing suppressors being screwed onto barrels and magazines being inserted into guns. YouTube says this is "firearms modification" and violates their rules.
    5
  7327. Youtube has given channel strikes to some channels for showing a silencer being screwed onto a barrel, or inserting a 30-round magazine. They say this is "firearms modification".
    5
  7328. I have not, unfortunately.
    5
  7329. A shop/dealer made about a half dozen parts kits into semi autos back in the 90s, and I happened to find one on GunBroker many years ago.
    5
  7330. IIRC, it's in the video on the No.3 . Sorry.

    5
  7333. Michael King I have a video coming on a Japanese copy of the Pedersen...
    5
  7334. History and traffic. :)
    5
  7335. Aside from some issues on Day 2 (which you will see tomorrow), it's outstanding. And the issues I did have aren't really the gun's fault.
    5
  7336. For a lanyard, so you don't lose the gun if you drop it.
    5
  7337. Yes, next week.
    5
  7338. Heh - the book we used as a model for sizing is Sotilaskäsiaseet Suomessa 1918-1988.
    5
  7339. Reference book. Great photos, but a lot more text and details.
    5
  7340. The Tabuk sniper was in 7.62x39; that's what I was describing.
    5
  7341. Questions for the Q&A videos are a perk exclusively for Patreon supporters.
    5
  7342. Three days.
    5
  7343. A couple reasons - RIA changed their minds, and this was a particularly simple piece to disassemble with no risk of breaking parts.
    5
  7344. It may seem that way from photos, but have you actually tried it?
    5
  7345. The stories describe a pocket gun, not a military pattern one.
    5
  7346. Barrel is threaded in, not pinned.
    5
  7347. I suspect it would be marginally better.
    5
  7348. Typically SMG mags were 32 rounds for military forces that had pistols with 8-round mags (the German Luger, and the French 1935A/S). Ammo was packaged in multiples of 8, so 32 made sense for the SMGs.
    5
  7349. +austenslost Yes.
    5
  7350. Yes.
    5
  7351. That’s the AMP
    5
  7352. Information > ignorance.
    5
  7353. That's because they considered the AK to be a submachine gun.
    5
  7354. It depends. Some are posted the day after I film them, some are scheduled out as much as 6 weeks ahead of time (and some I keep in a backlog for potentially months before editing and uploading).
    5
  7355. Your best bet is auction sites like GunBroker. Also, of course, gun shops and gun shows.
    5
  7356. Ken Lazar Curio & Relic is not the same thing as antique. An antique is legally not a firearm, while a C&R gun is one which can be received inter-state by a C&R licensee. A Curio & Relic gun can still be an NFA item, although some specific ones have been removed from the NFA. The ATF's C&R list explains all of this.

    5
  7360. I have a side by side comparison go the BAR and MAG operating parts here: https://youtu.be/rFmPZIm2Hk8
    5
  7361. I carry a P7 in a Phlster City Special.
    5
  7362. Propellent doesn't affect NFA categorization; that's based on explosive in the warhead. You could easily make inert projectiles with something like shotgun blanks to fire from this.
    5
  7363. You trouble making sense of the classification is understandable, because there is no formal definition of things like "light machine gun" or "battle rifle" today, and there was even less back a hundred years ago. My suggestion is to not worry about such labels, and instead consider what roles different guns are suitable for.
    5
  7364. 556deltawolf Yes, I have a parts kit for an FN-D that I would love to have built into a working gun some day. As you say, the FN version fixed a lot of the problems of the M1918A2.
    5
  7365. We considered doing that, but decided to leave it on for full suck-factor.
    5
  7366. I am confident that the FG would clobber the Federov. Biggest problem for the Federov is that having seen the internals, I would be very surprised if it could get through the match without having some serious malfunction problems.
    5
  7367. Just haven't had a chance to coordinate filming with the guy who had that one. I do plan to make that video, but I don't know when it will happen.
    5
  7368. 9 Largo
    5
  7369. Typically chamber empty.
    5
  7370. The Mars pistol, for one (although those never made it to the commercial market). More commonly, a handful of revolver cartridges, like the .45 Colt. Assuming we aren't going to be nitpicky about "pistol" vs "revolver"
    5
  7371. Rozmic The way to do that is simply to carry with the hammer down and chamber empty. Works for any design of pistol, and it's really not any slower to rack the slide than cock the hammer on draw (IMO).
    5
  7372. +Scowler The Johnson was an inspiration for the AR bolt. The Dror was a separate offshoot, though, with no connection to the AR.
    5
  7373. +clothar23 The best position today is generally considered on the left side and positioned so that a swipe of the thumb from a firing grip can engage or disengage the safety.
    5
  7374. It’s a Q Porq Chop
    5
  7375. Scale.
    5
  7376. When I get a 9x39mm rifle...
    5
  7377. Slightly.
    5
  7378. It was.
    5
  7379. When you find Utopia, please let us know.
    5
  7380. +Kloick Yes.
    5
  7381. In concept, yes, but they are not directly related.
    5
  7382. Thanks!
    5
  7383. Yes, I will be there.
    5
  7384. +Tony Hentschel Yep, that piece is mismatched on this particular gun. Not uncommon; means someone lost a piece at some point, or inadvertently mixed them up with someone else.
    5
  7385. Fixed...
    5
  7386. Not from these producers you don't! :p
    5
  7387. Yep.
    5
  7388. mans048 That is a totally false urban legend.
    5
  7389. GunLab.net
    5
  7390. I've been in New York in the winter. Frozen hellscape sounds about right.
    5
  7391. It is possible that a German officer decided to carry it - I have an even older gun (a 1910 Frommer) that was captured in WWII. Also, the Bergmann was in production after the end of WWI, so it may not be quite as old as you think. Could you send me photos of the pistol? Maybe I can tell you more after seeing it - my email address is admin at forgottenweapons.
    5
  7392. The difference is that the AR contains gas in a sealed cylinder where true DI does not.
    5
  7393. It’s the flag of the United Arab Republic (where this rifle was made), which is the same as the current Syrian government flag.
    5
  7394. More information is better than less.
    5
  7395. Yep, that was the one that bit me. They were made for testing in the US. The Pattern Room even has one that was converted to .30-06, just to prove it could be done. And here's a real trip - I've seen a bolt for an EM-2 in 8mm Kurz.
    5
  7396. It's possible, but unlikely. Only two of these were made, and I doubt Maxim would have ever seen them.
    5
  7397. Anyone who says that doesn't know what they are talking about.
    5
  7398. I've been using an HD camera for over a year now; this is just one of my older videos.
    5
  7399. It's Greek surplus we bought years ago. Unfortunately, the supply has pretty much dried up now.
    5
  7400. To clarify, the guns were purchased from a dealer in Hamburg, but shipped from Kiel into the Baltic. Why they did not take a shorter route into the North Sea I don't know.
    5
  7401. Only by removing the partial clip and replacing it with a full one.
    5
  7402. It's a sight protector and charging handle guard as much as a carry handle.
    5
  7403. It's there now.
    5
  7404. It is, in fact, red loctite. That's the reproduction scope, and once I had it zeroed I really, really did not want it to shift.
    5
  7405. It stays in place and prevents you from charging the rifle.
    5
  7406. the benefit is that it holds the clip firmly and prevents it from wobbling around when you strip the rounds off. I'm not sure how essential that really is, but it's a neat feature.
    5
  7407. +EnergeticEddy Yes.
    5
  7408. +Dale Subic I believe that is the screw holding the mainspring in position inside the grips.
    5
  7409. I haven't seen any official literature addressing the sound at all. Both the noise and the visual effect of the clip ejecting are certainly helpful indicators to the shooter, though (and the idea that it posed a threat in combat is just a myth),
    5
  7410. I was using M14 clips - the .300 Savage was the basis for the 7.62 NATO, and they fit just fine. However, Remington did make clips specifically for the Model 8 (they are pretty rare these days). You can identify them because they have the caliber (more commonly .35 Rem) stamped on the back of the clip.

    5
  7412. +Frederick Kruse The 2-lb was a 40mm gun, and the 1lb was 37mm.
    5
  7413. It is primarily an aircraft gun, so no.
    5
  7414. Poorly. The laser would be immediately obscured by dust and debris when you started firing.
    5
  7415. Probably not too hard.
    5
  7416. admin@forgottenweapons.com
    5
  7417. Once the 9x19 cartridge was introduced, the guns were made in both calibers.
    5
  7418. The M44L video posts in two weeks. ;)
    5
  7419. Yeah, a lot of people think so, but it's not true.
    5
  7420. Basically just make the cam track roller spring loaded so it can be pushed down when the top cover is closed. It will then pop up into the cam track when the bolt is locked back.
    5
  7421. That capability was added in a later pattern than this one.
    5
  7422. The last digit of the year is worn away.
    5
  7423. That's a stacking rod, so you can prop three rifles up against each other rather than lean them against walls or lay them down on the ground.
    5
  7424. The character is loosely inspired by the grandfather of a French friend, who fought against fallschirmjager at Vassieux-en-Vercors in July 1944.
    5
  7425. Correct; standard Galil mags.
    5
  7426. There is no second hose. And I did fire enough to get the water boiling. You don't see steam because the water in the can is there to recondense it, so that you don't create a visible steam cloud for the Germans to target.
    4
  7427. I've had it for a while - bought a bunch when it was cheap(ish).
    4
  7428. That would be the Browning M1917, not the Vickers.
    4
  7429. If you want to drink the water that comes out of a machine gun jacket, be my guest. But I think I'll find something else.
    4
  7430. Those scruffy old gits are all long dead today - or have gotten themselves newer rifles.
    4
  7431. Awesome!
    4
  7432. No, only belts.
    4
  7433. Yes. It is made with a 16" barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Winchester, and as a 12" SBR in 8.6mm Blackout.
    4
  7434. +Marek Dohojda www.1791apparel.com
    4
  7435. +Axel No, I don't. But that book is the absolute best source on early Austrian manual and semi auto pistols, with great photography. I can figure out some of the text, I can run some through Google Translate to get useful information, and just having the photos and model names is really handy by itself.
    4
  7436. +12345NoNamesLeft The Q&A videos are basically podcasts hosted on YouTube. I suggest either playing them while you are doing other stuff or just not watching. :)
    4
  7437. Yep, that's correct.
    4
  7438. Yup.
    4
  7439. The mechanical functioning of virtually all open-bolt submachine guns is basically the same. Madsen, Sten, Uzi, MP40, MAC-10, etc...they all work the same way.
    4
  7440. No, it has a fixed ring built in that slides on the magazine tube to act as a guide for the barrel.
    4
  7441. Yeah, sorry - we don't have a good solution for Australia yet.
    4
  7442. https://youtu.be/JnjaGc5Fmwo https://youtu.be/xQa_1gWW_6U

  7444. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-merino-wool-hoodie/30651
    4
  7445. Sorry - I lost track of this one!
    4
  7446. The mechanism of the Hotchkiss requires a full revolution of the crank for each shot, and it's moving a lot of mass as you turn it, so the rate of fire will always be relatively slow compared to a Gatling.
    4
  7447. Was it "platinium"? :)
    4
  7448. No, you have to pull the handle back and then down. It's intended to be much more secure than the later HK design.
    4
  7449. My video primarily uses "Sturmgewehr!" by Hans-Dieter Handrich as reference.
    4
  7450. «Федоров» был автоматической винтовкой, как BAR и Chauchat, а не штурмовой винтовкой.
    4
  7451. FWIW, I'm 5' 10" and 165lb and the medium is European-style snug on me. If you prefer a looser American style fit, you might want one size larger anyway.
    4
  7452. Yes, we are absolutely sticking with Patreon. We understand why people are upset, but there is no even remotely viable alternative at the current time.
    4
  7453. +hashbrown1969 Yup.
    4
  7454. mytmousemalibu Well, you should go get one.
    4
  7455. It was looted by the French themselves in the 1790s...
    4
  7456. Peter Charles IIRC, they were 200, 300, and 600 yards.
    4
  7457. M85FSLUVR I prefer to just leave the estimates at RIA's site - I do generally go back and add the final sale price to the video descriptions after the auction is over though.
    4
  7458. I have a copy of it - the biggest difference (aside from photo quality) is that he covers primarily the props used, where we are covering the real guns.
    4
  7459. Yes, we have pledge levels for just those by themselves.
    4
  7460. "Licensed Troubleshooter" is how Bond refers to himself in a couple places when people ask what his job is.
    4
  7461. As far as we know, none we made with scope mounts. If the gun had been a commercial success, a sniper version would have probably come later.
    4
  7462. I should do a comparison of all the major books on the M1, and I will at some point. It's harder and much more time-consuming to organize that type of review, though.
    4
  7463. You can get an autographed copy at no extra charge from Mr. Canfield's web site: http://www.brucecanfield.com/books.html
    4
  7464. The current-production semiautomatic Thompsons have different fire control groups that do not work the same way as these original ones.

    4
  7466. If they'd had a complete gun I would have done a video on it, but the upper alone is not quite sufficient for filming (IMO).
    4
  7467. Yes, I realize that. I believe this pistol is chambered for Largo, which should mean that it could use Steyr ammo without any problem. Not that I expect the new owner will ever shoot it...
    4
  7468. Yeah, I missed fixing that in edit - my bad!
    4
  7469. I actually have not handled the Beretta. Other rotating-barrel pistols include the CZ24, Obregon 1911, Steyr Hahn, MAB P-15, and (sort of) the Savage 1907. The theory is that they are more accurate because the barrel movement is all linear, unlike a Browning action which tips the bolt out of alignment with the sights.
    4
  7470. You would have to hold the bolt open while single loading those ten rounds, which would be possible but tricky.
    4
  7471. No, it was made into a tanker in the 1980s by Arlington Ordnance. I bought it 20 year later.
    4
  7472. +Pieter Batenburg Typically 17 or 18, with the exception of extended mags made for competition.
    4
  7473. No. :(
    4
  7474. It’s an export sale military F1 (SP serial prefix) downconverted to semiauto only
    4
  7475. True.
    4
  7476. +Flying Toaster Merci!
    4
  7477. No, the SKS is a gas piston gun.
    4
  7478. By the time the bolt has moved that far back, gas is no longer coming out of the gas tube.
    4
  7479. I bought an AR-180.
    4
  7480. Yeah, it's a 7075 aluminum frame, not polymer. I added a note in the video as a correction (whoops).
    4
  7481. Weight, primarily.
    4
  7482. It's Canada; they don't have freedom. ;)
    4
  7483. It won't be built for another 600 years or so.
    4
  7484. Sorry, I meant Vietnam. It was a North Korean AK, but brought back from Vietnam.
    4
  7485. I use the flag from the time and place where the gun was developed or introduced.

    4
  7488. +reed petchnick Actually, none of it was taken at the Big Sandy.

    4
  7494. John Browning certainly was., as was Dieudonne Saive. Also Alex Seidel...
    4
  7495. The bolt has a lot more mass than the barrel, and is not exposed to nearly as much heat when firing, so it doesn't really get hot. But the time it was difficult the handle, the rest of the gun would be massively overheated.
    4

    4
  7498. +caboose309 The Kropatschek is a bolt action, so there isn't much to see in slow motion...
    4
  7499. Because this was being done 2 years after the 1911 was actually invented? Companies today have over a hundred years of other peoples' experience to work from.
    4
  7500. Probably, yeah
    4
  7501. The "why" is because it replaced a single-shot rifle. And yes, they were updated later to 5.
    4
  7502. Yes, Karl was there. Instead of doing a head to head video, I ran the M1 Carbine and he did this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHJ4kFPW8SY
    4
  7503. +Codename46 This was a T&E rifle that had been used by several people before me, so it was thoroughly broken in before I got it.
    4
  7504. +john Redbarley Because they don't need to carry around full-size Garand, but an M1 Carbine is much easier to shoot effectively than a 1911.
    4
  7505. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnWKz7Cthkk
    4
  7506. The main reason was that most of the other mechanisms were under patent protection at the time. It is a very strong and safe action, though.
    4
  7507. You can usually find them for a 300-500 bucks.
    4
  7508. I haven't yet, but plan to. I have a friend in the process of re-watting one right now...
    4
  7509. You said it: because they are a lot harder to arrange. And if something goes wrong with them, the whole stage has to be thrown out.
    4
  7510. They designed the law as a de-facto ban, but didn't do it well enough to work.
    4
  7511. They are mechanically relevant, but not legally. A full-auto bolt carrier is not a legally controlled item.
    4
  7512. I haven't gotten to the MAS semiauto series yet.
    4
  7513. No, I do not have a stake in the sales prices of anything at either RIA or Julia.
    4
  7514. Yes, I have bought things from both RIA and Julia.
    4
  7515. I don't think the French government is willing to sell the old rifles on the commercial market. If they did, then yes - some would certainly end up here as parts kits. But I'm not holding my breath.
    4
  7516. ~50% of the globes contents are water, does that count?
    4
  7517. The library system was basically made a custodian of all things relevant to Connecticut state history. In addition to guns, they had a bunch of other museum-type collections.
    4
  7518. Nah, CtD doesn't try to hide it.
    4
  7519. Indeed, theft and corruption don't exist in any other socio-political systems.
    4
  7520. That was the Colt PR guy who did just that with about a dozen guns before the collection was donated to the CT State Library system.
    4
  7521. No, it was not. That is my advice to buyers in general.

    4
  7523. NormanMatchem As I wrote in the video description, 153gr at about 400 fps.
    4
  7524. The safety doesn't fit (me, anyway), the trigger is to heavy, the sights are annoying, and the charging handle is conveniently located in the worst possible place for a lefty. The StG45(M) here is a lot better, though.
    4
  7525. That's solid gunpowder, and is burns up upon firing.
    4
  7526. If that’s what is important to you, then okay.
    4
  7527. As a post-sample machine gun, actually.
    4
  7528. I schedule content 4-6 week in advance. The South African videos will start in June, and will be spread across 6-8 months.
    4
  7529. No, not yet.
    4
  7530. Hopefully.
    4
  7531. You can turn them off with the "CC" button on the bottom left of the video window.
    4
  7532. Yeah, I would be hesitant to use anything without the safety groove. Prvi is great for the other guns out there in 8mm Lebel, like all the Berthier variants though.
    4
  7533. I do understand the hesitation. The alternative, if you wanted to shoot one, would be to handload round-nose bullets.
    4
  7534. Physical exertion
    4
  7535. They were the first to actually be intended as a standard rifle, although they did not meet that goal.
    4
  7536. Technically speaking, it is neither.
    4
  7537. Would have been a lot nicer if it was frozen solid...
    4
  7538. October 23/24 at Loppi.

  7539. "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
    4
  7540. +Peter Chairing This series of videos is from one of Rock Island's "regional" auctions, which has lower-value items than their "premiere" auctions. Immediately following this series will be one form James D. Julia, which is loaded with really high-end rare items (I'm filming there this week).
    4
  7541. You can still order a copy; link is in the description! :)
    4
  7542. +Peter Timowreef I suspect it may have been more an issue of volume than just weight.

  7543. BECAUSE IM A HARDCORE OPERATOR BRO!!!1!

  7544. Es la bandera de Espana en 1970.
    4
  7545. These prices include a 15% buyer's premium.
    4
  7546. The Pattern 1913 rifle was the original design, in .276 caliber. It was adapted to the Pattern 1914 in .303, and then adapted again for US issue at the Model 1917 in .30-06. In the 1920s as part of the general change in British rifle nomenclature, it was retroactively redesigned the Rifle No. 3.

    4
  7550. +Matthew Rosen Yes.
    4
  7551. +Poul Wrist No, I hadn't. I do actually want to learn French in general, though.
    4
  7552. I took it down because they had gotten well over a hundred applications, and that is plenty to fill their open positions.
    4
  7553. In this case, SMG stands for Smith Machine Group.
    4
  7554. It's coming...
    4
  7555. Awesome! Glad you like them :)
    4
  7556. Yep, I believe that was the formal manual of arms.
    4
  7557. I bought two. What's your point? ;)
    4
  7558. J.L. Roberts I believe you could get the 2nd model Frontier in .44-40.
    4
  7559. +TheRadPlayer I think it is an excellent film.
    4
  7560. +boycot gugle There were other machine guns - most notably the lightened MG08/15, and also Austrian guns like the 07/12 Schwarzlose. But most likely, the two guys were humping a sled-mounted MG08 up and down the mountain. WWI was not a fun thing to participate in.
    4
  7561. Correct; no drums.
    4
  7562. No, I didn't buy the one at RIA (and I don't know who did). I found this one at a gun show a couple years ago.
    4
  7563. 大家好，歡迎大家忘記武器!
    4
  7564. No, this is not the gun from my 2014 auction video.
    4
  7565. Sorry; it is .380 ACP.
    4
  7566. One of the general rules of the BUG match is that your gun only starts with in hand (typically at low ready) or prepositioned on a barrel or table. When a draw is called for, you put an inert blue gun in your holster of choice, draw that on the clock, and then exchange it for your real gun. The match provides a selection of blue guns that pretty well replicate the whole range of guns people use, and you pick the best match. This way you can practice (more or less) drawing from a pocket, shoulder holster, ankle holster, or any other carry location that would not be considered safe for range use.
    4
  7567. Yes, 9x20 Browning.

  7569. You aren't wrong about hits, but a hit with a small bullet is better than a miss with a big one. The British ditched the .455 in favor of .38/200 because too many people were simply missing with the man stopper.
    4
  7570. It's not because the .45 isn't effective, it's because handguns are very rarely used in military combat in the first place.
    4
  7571. That would not remove a part of a finger, it would just hurt a bit.
    4
  7572. Just learn to use right handed guns. :)
    4
  7573. Probably 10.
    4
  7574. Losing Crimea didn't protect Ukraine from being invaded. It would have been the same with Finland; had they handed over the Isthmus in 1939 (and all their prepared fortifications with it), Stalin still would have invaded.
    4
  7575. If the Ukrainians leave any for him…
    4
  7576. It's an OVP 1918 - the Beretta 1918 is a different gun.
    4
  7577. Finnish M05.
    4
  7578. Yes, the barrel was rifled.
    4
  7579. I think it's semantics, really. A race car driver can drive a race in any car, but that doesn't preclude a clear category of cars designed to be "race cars".
    4
  7580. Yes.
    4
  7581. 81.2% as effective as the .44 Automag.
    4
  7582. +Bekjan Djusupov 17.5 pounds.
    4
  7583. It was the first one actually fielded and used as an assault rifle.
    4
  7584. No, the two magazine bodies interfere with each other. One one can be in the feeding position at a time.
    4
  7585. Yes.
    4
  7586. Grazie!
    4
  7587. That's 1918. A lot of the s/n lists have the production years wrong.
    4
  7588. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/forgotten-weapons-jaakaripuukko-140-carbon-steel/74327
    4
  7589. FG 42 Bob Yes, the Indonesian military rebuilt M95 carbines and rifles in .303 British. I have a couple examples, and have been planning a video on them for a while, but haven't gotten to it yet.
    4
  7590. You are describing all of the elements of the M1924 Chatellerault LMG. :)
    4
  7591. A fan/viewer in the Legion sent me the camo. :)
    4
  7592. I watch for the time of year when PPU makes and imports their annual batch, and I buy a lot of it then.
    4
  7593. The manual makes a cogent point that an MG08 on a sled mount can only traverse about 30 degrees. So if you have two automatic rifle teams bring it under fire from a wide enough arc, it cannot return fire at both.
    4
  7594. Those holes are from nesting birds, actually.
    4
  7595. I believe they did, but I haven't handled one of them myself.
    4
  7596. Thanks - we may do some coverage of unusual variants like that, but probably not a whole lot. Not that they aren't interesting, but there's not as much to talk about as a whole distinct gun.
    4
  7597. +Haassan1 I don't own it; the decision is not mine to make. You want to see one loaded or fired, you are welcome to find one yourself...
    4
  7598. Which I explain at the end of the video.
    4
  7599. No, select fire (but both semi and full fire from an open bolt). I think it's generally just lumped in with the StG-44 as a single basic design.
    4
  7600. Yes, making it from 7.62 NATO is not a bad solution. Today, 8x33 is made by one or two companies - Prvi does it, and I think FNM in Portugal as well.
    4
  7601. I suppose that would work if you're out of Scotch...
    4
  7602. +Jonathan Stahlhacke Two ways. First, manual machines have dial indicators to tell you exactly how far you are moving, and a skilled manual machinist can make something just as precise as a CNC, just slower. Second, on a mass-production factory level parts were often made on a whole series of machines, with each machine pre-set to do a single operation. For example, FN still has the original tooling for making High Power barrels, which consists of about 30 shapers in a series, each one making a single cut. Start with a rifled blank, and by the time it has gone through each machine (which requires no more skill than swapping parts in a CNC today) you have a complete part made to spec.
    4
  7603. +Diktator Alexander Pfft! Mot by a very long stretch.
    4
  7604. +titaniumdiveknife It is much, much nicer for doing video editing and compiling than my old laptop.
    4
  7605. I really don't know - I disputed the action, and a day later the reactivated the account without any comment as to why it had been closed in the first place.
    4
  7606. Let's take what we can get. A bunch of Hino Komuro pistols were found in Japan several years ago, and the Japanese government forced them to all be destroyed. Yeah, I'd be all for England recognizing the human right to be armed, but at least there are still museums there.
    4
  7607. I will make sure to do that on the next one of these I post.
    4
  7608. It was definitely more organized; a bunch of PPSh-41s were converted to use 9x19 from MP40 magazines.
    4
  7609. There is an active and growing firearms culture in Poland.
    4
  7610. Nonsense; you're Kevin.
    4
  7611. +Merle Morrison No, 6.5mm
    4
  7612. +Fraje CZ My previous video was a different example (#8) - I did this one because I had a lot more of the history available.
    4
  7613. Yes, they actually do have an AVS-36. I didn't have a chance to look at it closely, though. Same with the Model 100.
    4
  7614. toadman506 That is a Ross MkIII: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaSui_UqDX8
    4
  7615. +Bill M No, not yet.
    4
  7616. I will put the hammer prices into the video descriptions after the auction takes place.
    4
  7617. Yeah, it didn't turn out so well for the company.
    4
  7618. Yes. If it were chambered for the .50BMG cartridge, it would not qualify as a destructive device anyway.
    4
  7619. It's much more practical than jumping with an MG34, though.
    4
  7620. Awesome!
    4
  7621. elektro3000 It wasn't actually uncomfortable to hold, just a bit ungainly.
    4
  7622. Yep, good point!
    4
  7623. Varusteleka Woolshell
    4
  7624. +Ragnar 33 It was original ammo.
    4
  7625. I suspect it is reasonably simple, but it's a one-of-a-kind piece and I didn't want to push my luck trying to strip something that rare that I'm not more familiar with.
    4
  7626. Actually, it was the deflected fragments of the bullet that destroyed the wood stand and allowed the plate to fall.
    4
  7627. Yes they did.
    4
  7628. Lots of people have said that. Nobody has actually supplied a reference. In WW2, the word "panzer" was in use. In WW1, it was not.
    4
  7629. I agree, and I would love to do more experimenting if I can ever find more ammo.
    4
  7630. Can you provide any reference for the claim that it could defeat all types of German tank, or that it was used as a sniper's rifle?
    4
  7631. Not for my shoulder it wouldn't have been.
    4
  7632. No, because the supports were destroyed by the bullet fragments only after they had been deflected by the armor.
    4
  7633. Under US Federal law, this is unregulated - it's not a firearm. Some states may control it like an airgun, depending on exactly how their laws work. ArcFlahs's web site has more details.
    4
  7634. That is true, much like how the double-stack .45 pistols all fell out of production when the 1994 AWB hit.
    4
  7635. Tokarev is a bottlenecked case, so it doesn't offer the capacity benefit that is key to 30SC.
    4
  7636. +Foster Rich I don't think so, because it is manually operated.
    4
  7637. It wasn't feasible to do that because of the weight of the gun.
    4
  7638. Best to ask Othais about it, but he and Mae have an open invitation any time they would like to join us.
    4
  7639. Most of it, yes. Some videos will be exclusive to non-YouTube platforms.
    4
  7640. No, this is not something that can happen on an 1895 Mannlicher. Pulling the bolt clear out of the gun isn't actually an issue - the problem would be if the lugs are unlocked when firing - and they can't be on the 95 Steyr.
    4
  7641. One of the biggest misconception is that this is about YouTube/Google begin leftist. This issue is bigger than that, and it impacts channels across the entire political spectrum.
    4
  7642. Yup. So many people think this is just about a political view, when it is actually pervasive across all subjects and the whole width of the political spectrum. It is an effort to bubble-wrap and sanitize anything remotely potentially controversial.
    4
  7643. I have an older video on a slightly different variation of this.
    4
  7644. They mean the same thing; no difference.
    4
  7645. Different Pompom - the WWII guns were 40mm Vickers guns. Similar in operation to this, but a later evolution of the design.
    4
  7646. No on both counts.
    4
  7647. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_of_War
    4
  7648. Spring to put tension on rifle grenades so they don't slide off if you point the gun downward.
    4
  7649. You just start doing it.
    4
  7650. Yes
    4
  7651. Yes, and yes.
    4
  7652. Yes, you could.
    4
  7653. Not required, but I didn't want to go prone on the rocks with bare elbows, and the concealment garment was part of the equipment concept.
    4
  7654. The Mondragon (1908) predates them all, and the Madsen-Rasmussen (1888) predates the Mondragon by another 20 years.
    4
  7655. Noted. :)
    4
  7656. They came out of a couple different collections.
    4
  7657. My guess is that they just pack everything the same way...and they sell plenty of $10,000+ guns that you would really want to have packaged this well.
    4
  7658. No.
    4
  7659. Nope.
    4
  7660. We have Good Samaritan laws in the US that protect people who apply this sort of first aid in an emergency.
    4
  7661. I bought this rifle in France. It had been converted to 7mm-08 for civilian shooting back before 7.5 was deregulated.
    4
  7662. The RSC.
    4
  7663. You British folks always think your pronunciations are the only pronunciations. :)
    4
  7664. +C andyforBreakfast Take the cylinder out, throw it away, and find some other pistol. :)
    4
  7665. Possibly...but neither option will really qualify as fast.
    4
  7666. Stick around for next week's video... ;)
    4
  7667. The Alien's only relevant safety here is the trigger lever, and I dot not trust that to be effective in mud like this - so I left the chamber empty.
    4
  7668. All open-bolt SMGs are fundamentally very similar.
    4
  7669. Yes, there is a middle ground - but it has no activists. Everyone advocating on the subject in public is fairly far to one side of the other.
    4
  7670. They did actually try one belatedly after the trials were over. Basically, it weighed as much as the M1 Carbine but was less accurate and a lot more awkward to handle.
    4
  7671. Marine, cuisine, sardine.
    4
  7672. The movie is 98% myth.
    4
  7673. The design is, yes. Any individual example should be examined by a competent person first, to make sure it hasn't been damaged at some point in the past hundred years, though.
    4
  7674. Mil huit-cent soixante-six.
    4
  7675. No, they are all being made in Oberndorf.
    4
  7676. She's an Australian Cattle Dog.
    4
  7677. The mount is the new one from Spuhr. It's awesome.
    4
  7678. +Robert Benson No, but this was a semiauto conversion and may not have had the same characteristics in that area as the originals.
    4
  7679. Lol - it's true
    4
  7680. dareddevil6 Or, y'know, you could just watch the free version on Full30. Just sayin'.
    4
  7681. I was in SA to film exotic guns.
    4
  7682. Call me naive or ignorant or apathetic, but I am not going to research peoples' clothing brands as a litmus test for whether their shooting footage is interesting and worthwhile. That way lies madness.
    4
  7683. No, no manual hold open.
    4
  7684. Yes.
    4
  7685. We are working on possible solutions...
    4
  7686. I got PTSD from welding the rear sight tower in place, but this test firing cured it for me.
    4
  7687. Hopefully I will be able to get one of them out to the range at some point... :)
    4
  7688. They would be happy to; tell them you saw the video on Forgotten Weapons: 814-362-2642
    4
  7689. This was developed several years before the MP38/40
    4
  7690. mike messier That would be a great one to film - I would need to engineer a weakened case ahead of time though. Not something one is likely to capture accidentally.
    4
  7691. Keith Larsen Not planning to - it would be interesting, but not at the top of my list to spend money on.
    4
  7692. Well, prepare to be annoyed for a couple weeks.
    4
  7693. Yes, lighting for high speed is on my list of things to improve. This was filmed on the road, so my options were a bit limited. I'm still getting a feel for what frame rates work effectively with what light levels, and looking for good practical methods of increasing the light on the gun. I'm fortunate that the Arizona desert sun is a darn good starting point, but improvement is necessary.
    4
  7694. I think it's better than the 42 because it is significantly lighter and has a much slower rate of fire. It is also simpler in design and function, with fewer things that could go wrong.
    4
  7695. +Michael Smith This has a larger bullet (double the diameter and more than double the weight) of a .50 BMG, but about half the muzzle velocity.
    4
  7696. They cost $500, but come with a free entry to the match! :)
    4
  7697. The Streak non-incendiary ammo is allowed; regular tracers are not (fire hazard).
    4
  7698. The cup held the grenade spoon in place until it was fired.
    4
  7699. They used metal plates.
    4
  7700. Just more of a challenge.
    4
  7701. I have a whole bunch of videos coming...
    4
  7702. Not unless they arrived at the museum that way.
    4
  7703. The safety protocols and off-camera testing make special suits unnecessary.
    4
  7704. They are not regulated in any way at the Federal level, but two states have passed laws prohibiting possession of flamethrowers.
    4
  7705. Still working on it with the gunsmith.
    4
  7706. They are around, but not common. I have a video on them coming up in December...
    4
  7707. There are a lot more of these around the MKb-42 rifles, yes. They are also not as convenient to actually use (assuming they work right, which many do not - the tubes have a limited life span), not as interesting to many people, and nowhere near as practically useful as modern NVGs, which can be had for $2k or so.
    4
  7708. FB talked about doing a reproduction/new production vis35, but there wasn't enough interest to justify the tooling costs.
    4
  7709. There was a small batch imported as the PTR-44 about 12 years ago. I expect there will be new ones from DK at some point.
    4
  7710. No; a transferrable original MP38 would be $50k+
    4
  7711. Not long before being shortened and modified a bit into the 49-56. That version remained standard until 1979.
    4
  7712. +T Mac I probably will eventually.
    4
  7713. +Marc Weir Single action.
    4
  7714. +Screw B Pretty much all WWI rifles were, in an attempt to gain a reach advantage with bayonets (and as a holdover from black powder rifles when barrel length was necessary to get the full velocity potential.
    4
  7715. +Harrison More likely it was done as a way to deactivate the gun when some GI brought it home. That was often done, although not legally required.
    4
  7716. +Vladimir Mihnev No, the A6 was designed by a guy named Meunier.
    4
  7717. Yes, they do. Flintlocks (both rifles and pistols) have a much longer delay than caplock guns too, FWIW.
    4
  7718. The chemical formulation of the powder in this ammunition is such that it increases in pressure as it breaks down. It was fine in 1941 when it was new; it's dangerous now.
    4
  7719. The MkIII was shorter and lighter, although not intended specifically for paratroops
    4
  7720. It's not a ripoff, it was developed by Brno for British trials and licensed to the UK for production.
    4
  7721. No, the 38 family were all in 9mm Parabellum.
    4
  7722. Ha - me too!
    4
  7723. Doesn't make a difference - use whatever is more convenient for you. Thanks!
    4
  7724. +davo171 Because they were looking to sell the guns to other militaries.
    4
  7725. Original artillery Lugers and stocks are exempt from the NFA. Legally it's just a pistol.
    4
  7726. In my opinion, the Luger. The C96 is much clumsier to reload and the hammer can whack your thumb knuckle if you aren't careful.
    4
  7727. +raider762 I used random gun oil from my range bag.
    4
  7728. +besternamedensgibtxd If the rifle fires while unlocked, the pressure will blow the bolt back at the shooter dangerously vast, potentially hurting them and damaging the gun.
    4
  7729. I use a spring loaded firing pin from Murray's (https://murraysguns.com/french-mas-4956-firing-pin/) and I've never had a slam fire.
    4
  7730. All proper tactical men also understand deadpan humor.

  7734. Sport Systeme Dittrich
    4
  7735. That's be in Polenar's video, I believe.
    4
  7736. Yep. The shirt is actually a prop form the Tremors TV show. :)
    4
  7737. That is true - the Lebel was not on the cutting edge mechanically. But in terms of practical effectiveness it was fundamentally better than everything else in 1887.
    4
  7738. +Tim Bolt $5-$10 - they are actually very common.
    4
  7739. Yep, the Edgertronic high speed camera.
    4
  7740. Because it's too cold in Maine.
    4
  7741. Skowhegan.
    4
  7742. It is still a live and unmolested machine gun. The process for purchasing a machine gun in the US is actually fairly simple, it just takes a few months. Anyone who can legally own a rifle (ie, not a convicted felon) can own a machine gun, assuming they aren't in one of the few states that have a state-level prohibition on them. The process is actually not a permit or license, but rather a tax on the transfer of the the gun. You apply and pay the tax ($200) and a few months later you get your application back with a tax stamp (it looks just like a postage stamp). Then you can take possession of the gun. More complex is the issue of which guns can be legally transferred to individuals, which is basically imported guns registered before 1968 and domestic ones registered before 1986.  While cartridge availability is a consideration in many European countries, it is irrelevant to US law in this area.
    4
  7743. alex smith There is a bit of a registration process, but yes, it is legal to own.

  7745. +Europe Channel It's a reproduction company called What Price Glory. http://onlinemilitaria.com
    4
  7746. Rock Island is estimating $2000-$3000 (including the 15 rounds of ammo).
    4
  7747. No.
    4
  7748. Yes, it is.
    4
  7749. They only had a small number of the guns, and opted to keep them in the US for training. Using French or British guns in Europe was much better logistically, since there was an established supply chain for parts, mags, armorers, etc, which did not exist for the US guns.
    4
  7750. Sorry - I have no control over the ads.
    4
  7751. No, they did not. These were all in 8x57.
    4
  7752. +sjoormen1 Oh, there is a ton I don't know...
    4
  7753. +Arno Schmidt Yeah, I misspoke.
    4
  7754. I didn't think to ask - the guys who own the gun handload all their ammo.
    4
  7755. It was at a public shooting area outside Phoenix.
    4
  7756. If the barrel is cut down already, I'd have no qualms with using the parts to salvage other guns.
    4
  7757. Yes, absolutely.
    4
  7758. Not sure how this is different than any other rifle - one should always wear hearing protection when shooting.
    4
  7759. No, it’s not around
    4
  7760. Care to elaborate why?
    4
  7761. I do not have cognac in the house at the moment... :(

    4
  7766. Yes, next week
    4
  7767. I suspect for larger guns like this one, it was primarily a training issue. With DAO, every trigger pull feels the same, where DA/SA has a heavy first pull and then light ones subsequently. It takes a fair bit of practice and training to use DA/SA well, and not gank either your first or second shot, and lots of security agencies just don't put in that much training time. It's simpler for them to just issue a pistol with a uniform trigger, even if it's a heavier one (and for some, a heavier trigger is seen as a bonus).
    4
  7768. The inventor was Swiss.

    4
  7782. Both.
    4
  7783. Well, the auction links will tell you the estimated values...
    4
  7784. The 1945 prototypes I am aware of are all evolutions of the StG...
    4
  7785. I don't have specific numbers, but I would expect this was more expensive than the Madsen.
    4
  7786. Foam earplugs in the muzzles.
    4
  7787. No.
    4
  7788. 9x19
    4
  7789. Not particularly difficult. The biggest challenge would probably be drilling the very long firing pin channel.
    4
  7790. TheRicheg Sons of Guns, Season 5 Episode 9.
    4
  7791. +James Carmean You can see me fire a reproduction one on Sons of Guns, season 5 episode 9.
    4
  7792. If you watch Sons of Guns season 5, episode 9 you can see me shoot a reproduction one. The name was a code name (all the OSS gear had such code names) that was based on the word "spigot", because it is mechanically a spigot mortar in a handgun package.

    4
  7795. It's some sort of pot metal.
    4
  7796. You are probably not wrong.
    4
  7797. I think they will go up when OWS sells out, but not massively.
    4
  7798. It isn't in America.
    4
  7799. If we ever actually get repro StG44s...
    4
  7800. It's different when you are using a blank.
    4
  7801. The rope for the Oerlikon is doing the same for as your back and abdomen with a crossbow.
    4
  7802. Yes, I believe so.
    4
  7803. +Minute Man It's a lanyard ring.
    4
  7804. Hopefully some day; I know there is at least one surviving in Europe.
    4
  7805. Standard 100mm.
    4
  7806. If Full30 works as well as I hope it will, I plan to migrate all my new (and archived) video content over there. It's a far, far more gun-friendly environment and one where I have direct contact with the owners and tech support unlike Youtube, which is an anti-gun total black box. Rest assured, though, the Forgotten Weapons video content will absolutely continue and be free to watch.
    4
  7807. I publish them manually because they are available early to some Patreon supporters, and that cannot be done with videos using the automated scheduler.
    4
  7808. Such a wimpy cartridge? Also because 10mm didn't exist when the Automag was designed.
    4
  7809. They actually didn't have a ton of Suomis in the Winter War. But they realized how effective they were, and issued a lot more of them in the Continuation WAa.
    4
  7810. Flash hiders were regulated, but not muzzle brakes.
    4
  7811. The rifles originally made into snipers were chosen for superior accuracy, while the reproductions are made with randomly selected standard 91/30s. You may get a very good one, but you may not.
    4
  7812. +Damian Cabaniss Only the sniper conversion have scope mounts.
    4
  7813. How about this one? :) https://youtu.be/szlJ9qy_SCg

    4
  7815. +Andy Wander No idea...
    4
  7816. +Andy Wander One for each barrel. Much easier than regulating them to hit in the exact same place.
    4
  7817. By definition, everything the US Army occupies has been liberated.
    4
  7818. Until 1986, you could register and manufacture new machine guns without any problem.
    4
  7819. Canada didn't adopt the metric system until the 1970s.
    4
  7820. We actually tried a couple rounds in a 1911 for kicks, and it did cycle properly.
    4
  7821. The plan is that Karl will also shoot this.
    4
  7822. Le clairon.
    4
  7823. ***** Cost, most likely.
    4
  7824. I don't know of one we have access to, but if we ever find one you can bet we will do a video on it.
    4
  7825. Hole placement in lands/grooves/both doesn't matter. Some of the early designers (WW2 era) experimented with this stuff a bunch.
    4
  7826. No more so than gas ports in gas-operated guns. In other words, no.
    4
  7827. GJWD WWSD.
    4
  7828. Unfortunately (but perhaps inevitably), almost all the bison in the US today have at least some element of crossbreeding with cattle, and so the true pure bison is basically gone forever.
    4
  7829. That would be about the coolest thing I can imagine. :)
    4
  7830. I'm working on it.
    4
  7831. Less dense, but also much less malleable. The solids probably penetrated better than the lead cored type.
    4
  7832. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/11/30/potd-informative-300-blk-cutaway/
    4
  7833. Yeah.
    4
  7834. The I was in Finland, one of you cool Finns gave me a hand-drawn pencil and watercolor painting of a Suomi, a Lahti pistol, and a Finnish battle flag. I just hung it up, but you can only see the bottom bit in this camera frame.
    4
  7835. https://youtu.be/ZL9fnVtz_lc
    4
  7836. Yes, I promise. :)
    4
  7837. No. However, as an open bolt gun it doesn't have an issue with bolt bounce because the chambered round fires as soon as the bolt closes.
    4
  7838. I'm not in the British military, so I wasn't meant to even wear it in the first place.
    4
  7839. YouTube randomly turned them off when the video posted, and I was on an airplane for a long time before I was able to turn them back on.
    4
  7840. When I can, yes.
    4
  7841. No, slow motion cameras don't do audio. When you do hear it, it's just fabricated in post-production.
    4
  7842. I have not fired a 416, but based on my understanding of them, I would take one of Sullivan's modified rifles over a 416 in a heartbeat.
    4
  7843. Otte Gear, but it was a limited run.
    4
  7844. Sadly, I believe Washington has banned the M1A by name.
    4
  7845. Yes, it was virtually brand new.
    4
  7846. I think a second edition is in the works, so the first edition is not being reprinted despite having sold out.
    4
  7847. +Sedan57Chevy I would have a tough choice choosing between a ZK-383 and a ZB-26.
    4
  7848. +Zako Metereveli No.
    4
  7849. Thanks! :)
    4
  7850. We are working on a PayPal solution, but we don't know if it will be possible. Please email us at info@headstamppublishing.com and we put you a contact list and reach out if we can do it.
    4
  7851. Seniority.
    4
  7852. No.
    4
  7853. Yes.
    4
  7854. Ballester-Molina.
    4
  7855. The AK book is on indefinite hold because of the war and sanctions.
    4
  7856. I have personally handled more than 5 examples.
    4
  7857. Hopefully! We'll see how much value RIA gets from this batch of videos, and that will determine if they want to have me back again.
    4
  7858. Sorry, but I didn't have the chance to do that while I was there. It's a good idea, though!
    4
  7859. That is actually the shadow of the muzzle blast.
    4
  7860. https://youtu.be/fd98XcRm0bM
    4
  7861. +Benito Profane If you get your information from the Daily Mail, it's no wonder you actually think one can buy a gun with food stamps in a toy store without a background check.
    4
  7862. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anW7HWFlueg
    4
  7863. The Georg Luger of MACs is Richard Lage.
    4
  7864. A Finn-marked Type 35 went for more than six grand a week or two ago. I just watched sadly. :(
    4
  7865. It's coming next week, actually.
    4
  7866. Who would ever use a vz52 in a match like this? :)
    4
  7867. Eventually, yes. I did some filming with one a while back, but we had problems with the gun malfunctioning constantly (bad mags, I think). I need to find another example to get out on the range.
    4
  7868. The Madsen subguns are the M1946 and M1950, generally speaking. I have a manual available to download at Forgotten Weapons, if you are interested.
    4
  7869. My videos shooting the DS39 and LS26 were both from this collection, so yes.
    4
  7870. Sure - what is it?
    4
  7871. Review: Was super cool. Was also mechanical mess. Sold, don't regret.
    4
  7872. Both, but mostly the consignor.
    4
  7873. Not even remotely, especially since I was messing with the adjustments in my tabletop video.
    4
  7874. Interestingly, that stuff actually works great against Gen 1 night vision.
    4
  7875. The question is "What would Stoner do if he was designing the original AR-15 with today's materials" - not what he built later for different purposes.
    4
  7876. The problem with this concept is that the straight AR magazine well does not play well with reliable 7.62x39 magazines.
    4
  7877. I have a specific reason for the 10.5" length, which I am choosing not to share. :) Otherwise, I would agree with you.
    4
  7878. The question is "What would Stoner do if he was designing the original AR-15 with today's materials" - not what he built later for different purposes.
    4
  7879. The lower receiver is the registered part.
    4
  7880. It certainly could be.
    4
  7881. Yes, it was a bit of a hang fire, although only noticeable in slow motion.
    4
  7882. +Nathan Hogan Nope, not yet.
    4
  7883. Megacorp? I don't think you have any idea what Armament Research Services is...
    4
  7884. All of the above, depending on the gun.
    4
  7885. I believe they did make one or two experimental ones in Kurz, but it was very late in the war and I don't think the Luftwaffe was as interested in the concept as the Wehrmacht.
    4
  7886. Nope, never did. For obvious reasons, I wasn't going to try to force it.
    4
  7887. They considered that: https://youtu.be/OT5ZTHD-Dc0
    4
  7888. Most of those are natural - several bird species make nests in them.
    4
  7889. Bannerman did sell the rifles both converted to .30-06 and in the original 7.62x54R calibers. Whether they had trouble with the conversions, I don't know.
    4
  7890. I'm not ambidextrous, but I do sometimes shoot right-handed on video when the lighting or other issues make it preferable.
    4
  7891. 10
    4
  7892. There is no "SA80" rifle; that's the name for the whole weapons family.
    4
  7893. Good, because I have two more about Ethiopia coming in the next two weeks. One about the 1940s, and one about the 1970s. :)
    4
  7894. No. They are included as Type Z copies - guns that are associated with AKs but don't actually share any mechanical features with the AK.
    4
  7895. If you click the Rock Island link in the description, you can see their price estimates.
    4
  7896. https://www.full30.com/video/28f54e7873630d79356d3944009fdff5
    4
  7897. No, not functional guns. Inert props, probably though.
    4
  7898. +Andrea Billia All 1893 Winchesters are black powder only.
    4
  7899. Troy makes nice reproductions.
    4
  7900. Armalite licensed the design to Colt, because Armalite didn't have any significant manufacturing facilities.
    4
  7901. No idea.
    4
  7902. Sure, any made in 1967 or earlier are C&R eligible. They are also NFA-registered machine guns.
    4
  7903. Some Patrons get early access to unlisted videos.
    4
  7904. Same way as Americans; we can ship internationally.
    4
  7905. Well, thank you! Beware, you may start giving a hoot about French rifles once you read the book. ;)
    4
  7906. You definitely should, it's worth the visit.
    4
  7907. There was; some pin fire revolvers were imported
    4
  7908. Very rare. They were very expensive to make, and tricky get get working right.
    4
  7909. +PillowSmeller Very.
    4
  7910. +FireDevil I think they work very well, actually.
    4
  7911. I prefer the M1917.
    4
  7912. +Christian Andrews I am not there when they do the actual auctions (I don't work for RIA), but RIA does livestream the auction on their web site.
    4
  7913. +Brian Reddeman Wow, thanks! :)
    4
  7914. When I find one.
    4
  7915. Being registered prior to 1986.
    4
  7916. I don't know of anyone actually being prosecuted for it, but I'm not taking chances as a public figure.
    4
  7917. I use the flag from the time and place where a rifle was adopted or made. The Iraqi flag in the 1980s was different form the Iraqi flag today.
    4
  7918. He is always welcome.
    4
  7919. C&Rsenal
    4
  7920. Its charging handle is fixed tot he bolt, so pushing on the handle acts like a forward assist.
    4
  7921. Kijiro Nambu was no fool. He may not have been John Browning, but he was a very intelligent and skilled designer.
    4
  7922. No, there were carbine versions of a bunch of the very early automatic pistols.
    4
  7923. It can actually be loaded either through the action with the bolt open or from underneath, with the bolt closed. I didn't realized that when making the video, or I would have mentioned it.
    4
  7924. Yep
    4
  7925. Three days a week when I'm not traveling.
    4
  7926. It was cold. I'm from Arizona. That's my only warm hat.
    4
  7927. Was it not clear from the title and thumbnail?
    4
  7928. Also the CZ-24, MAB P-15, Colt All-American, and the new Boberg compact automatic.
    4
  7929. Hmm...the rotating might be a bit stronger, but action strength isn't really a weak point of the Browning system.
    4
  7930. This was a private trip, sorry.
    4
  7931. Salvatore Dormus.
    4
  7932. There were about 3,000 C93 pistols made, which is definitely enough to be consider mass production.
    4
  7933. Scarcity.
    4
  7934. Several times.
    4
  7935. Civilians can buy them as well.
    4
  7936. I have been a researcher for ARES for a couple years, actually.
    4
  7937. Ammo was issued both in clips for the Berthiers and also in loose packets for the Lebel.
    4
  7938. They don't have it ready - sorry! I thought it would be when I recorded the video.
    4
  7939. @axnordberg Yes, the loaidng block/follower is pulled forward by the barrel. If you check out our page on the Hino-Komuro, you can download the patent drawings that show it in good detail.
    4
  7940. Dangerous? Can you give any examples?
    4
  7941. There's no accounting for taste. :)
    4
  7942. No, different people.
    4
  7943. We did do a match with an SMLE. I accidentally got dirt into it, and it stopped working very well. 2-Gun Action Match: England Versus Germany
    4
  7944. If I can find one, yeah. Not many in the US, though.
    4
  7945. Well, there will be two more such videos next week... :)
    4
  7946. None I can think of...
    4
  7947. +Phillip Igyarto In general, the lubricated ammunition requirement accompanies delayed-blowback actions. If they don't delay enough, the extraction pressure is really high and the lubrication is needed. If you have a toggle lock together with a different operation mechanism (like the short recoil on a Luger) you shouldn't have that issue because the system is staying locked/closed longer.
    4
  7948. There were a bunch of EM2 rifles made in 7.62 NATO; I've fired one of them. I've seen one modified for .30-06 as well, just to prove to the Americans that it could be done. While the EM2 looks pretty cool, the FAL is simply a far better combat rifle. Ever tried to reassemble an EM2 bolt in the dark?
    4
  7949. Actually, using the mag as a rest was a way we prevented malfunctions. The notch on the magazine seems to have been cut a bit too high, and if we didn't put upward pressure on it, we got a lot more malfs.
    4
  7950. Yes, the left-handed version was advertised and sold.
    4
  7951. IMO, the best combination of AR and AK features is the Daewoo K2.
    4
  7952. I already did: https://youtu.be/YM7dGuGd404
    4
  7953. Custom-molded plugs made by a gun show vendor.
    4
  7954. "Backup" is all by size; the P365 is an excellent choice. Other divisions, FWIW, are backup revolver, hideout, and "Big 5" (which is a full size pistol limited to 5 round in the first mag).
    4
  7955. Already done - we're now using a nice HD camera.
    4
  7956. Yes.
    4
  7957. F3LDK0CH Do you mean the InRange videos? Because yeah, YouTube doesn't offer them in Germany. You can still use Full30, though.
    4
  7958. Yes.
    4
  7959. +AaronTheB No, I did not.
    4
  7960. https://youtu.be/PdoC8z0r08k
    4
  7961. I have a full playlist of these: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9e3UCcU00TRIeypXC53S8r81DZRvoXmu
    4
  7962. 121st_RegimentUSRF Yes, I do. Sometimes I even win them! :)
    4
  7963. Do a search for Schwarzlose 1908 - I did a much longer video showing all the internals. This was just a followup to it.
    4
  7964. Stick around to tomorrow and find out...
    4
  7965. It's coming!
    4
  7966. The ATF specifically exempts a number of historic pistols with stocks from the NFA. These include original artillery Lugers. You can see the whole list in this pdf: https://www.atf.gov/file/128116/download
    4
  7967. Scoring zones on the target - "A" is excellent, "C" is okay, and "D" is poor.
    4
  7968. The pistols were issued with 10 drums each, in chests that held 5 drums, a loading tool, and ammunition. There was a leather carrying pouch for a single drum as well.
    4
  7969. I can bid on anything I like, although I did not in this particular auction. I have won things in the past, most notably (IMO) my .30-06 Chauchat.
    4
  7970. They fire the exact same cartridge from the same length barrel. The 34 shoots a bit slower than the 42, which can be good or bad depending on the circumstances.
    4
  7971. LEECHESANDCREAM It's around but not very cheap anymore.
    4
  7972. All the aircraft guns had very high rates of fire.
    4
  7973. austreborn Have a look: http://www.historicalfirearms.info/post/54541188037/prototypes-t44-m60-the-m60-had-a-relatively
    4
  7974. Model of 1908 (08), lightened to the pattern of 1915 (15).
    4
  7975. Pintle.
    4
  7976. Yes. Aircraft guns also had much less ammunition available, and were not used with continuous fire like ground guns often were.
    4
  7977. Didn't watch the whole video, did you?
    4
  7978. There are 3 more trench videos that have not posted yet.
    4
  7979. These are also actually airsoft junk, but they look the part for video.
    4
  7980. I appreciate it, but in English "oh" is used interchangeably with "zero" to refer to the digit 0.
    4
  7981. The fluted chamber aids extraction under high pressure.
    4
  7982. There are 2 pages dedicated to Oswald's Carcano, discussing what it was and where it came from.
    4
  7983. It is small enough that it does not trigger metal detectors.
    4
  7984. Yes.
    4
  7985. Yes, although the first time I only had one round and the gas system had been disabled.
    4
  7986. Imported SIG.
    4
  7987. It's symmetrical; will work either way.
    4
  7988. The best way to commemorate victory is by displaying the enemy's weapons as trophies.
    4
  7989. The thing that holds links together are the cartridges, so there it would not be possible to have links remain linked after firing.
    4
  7990. The Northwood guns? Yes, I did a video on both.
    4
  7991. It is filmed, but I don't have a publication date yet.
    4
  7992. FG42 production was so small (less than 10,000 total of all models) that it had no appreciable impact on the war.
    4
  7993. FragOut25 If I could find several in one place, I would give it a whirl - but they are a bit outside my area of focus. The closest I have is a set of photos of a Nydar on the web site.
    4
  7994. Granite I have an annotation in giant letter hardcoded 5 seconds into the video so even mobile viewers see it.
    4
  7995. NoGufff We have a filter for that. :)

  7997. +Mason Meeks "Browning Machine Gun"
    4
  7998. +Hank Hill No, I am not a RIA employee.
    4
  7999. Not yet.
    4
  8000. Pretty much any rifle would work fine if you got it muddy, then cleaned it out, and then fired it.
    4
  8001. We simply didn't have one handy to use, and three guns seemed like enough for the first run through. Part 2 will include an AK.
    4
  8002. A hammer hits a separate firing pin; a striker has the firing pin built in.
    4
  8003. B&T 22332. Same model the French Army adopted, actually.
    4
  8004. In retrospect, I need to have more "why" type questions next year. Assuming I can get companies to answer them, the answers should be more interesting than just "will you make x" sorts of things.
    4
  8005. "Yes"
    4
  8006. Coronavirus.
    4
  8007. Ouch! I wasn't thinking about the stock folding, just the possibility of the firing mechanism failing.
    4
  8008. 9x20 Browning. It's a semi-rimmed round like the .32 ACP.
    4
  8009. Yes, I have occasionally.
    4
  8010. That would be epic. :)
    4
  8011. It simply holds the cylinder in place positioned so the hammer isn't over a chamber. That way if the half-cock notch fails, the hammer won't hit a cap when it falls.

  8012. Not cartridge guns, but there are Italian muzzleloading copies made.
    4
  8013. theWierdKid225 I believe this would make the product into an SBR if done with an AK pistol. In this case, however, the M92 was already a registered SBR.
    4
  8014. Crud, I thought I'd corrected that. I'll upload a fixed copy this evening.
    4
  8015. Yup.
    4
  8016. No, not this time :)
    4
  8017. Oh definitely. When you pull the trigger the fun ends and the work starts!

  8018. I live in Arizona; I love the southwestern landscape and would rather hunt here than on the east coast. :)

  8022. The only added benefit is that it automatically cocks the hammer for you.
    4
  8023. But still pretty boring.
    4
  8024. Jacob Greve That is one factor, but this particular G43 has a modern shooter's kit in it, reducing the gas to only as much as necessary to run the rifle reliably.
    4
  8025. So what you are saying it that the Army never converted them to 7.62 NATO? :)
    4
  8026. No.
    4
  8027. The MkIII* pattern eliminated the cutoff, and so most of the rifles made during WWI did not have it.

  8032. None. Wooden furniture was made aftermarket to replace broken factory furniture.

  8034. The sale was made before there was an embargo.

  8035. You can contribute directly through PayPal, at admin@forgottenweapons.com .
    4
  8036. Because I have access to a huge number of great guns at those places, so I make the most of the opportunity. For more shooting video, you should check out my other channel, InRangeTV which involves more modern guns and a lot more shooting.
    4
  8037. Not sure - I didn't take a close look at the numbers, or disassemble this one.
    4
  8038. As Michael Smith said, I have deliberately held off filming guns I own myself. That was intended for when a single trip fell through, but it makes a pretty good pandemic plan too.
    4
  8039. The Ethiopian government recently sold a large stockpile of obsolete arms to InterOrdnance in the US. They had been sitting for decades in a couple dirty warehouses, stacked like cordwood. There was plenty of opportunity for Ethiopia to create a museum. In fact, I would agree that such a thing would be good! But even with such a museum, there would have been many thousands of duplicate makes and models - why not sell them to collectors for cash that can be used to make Ethiopia a better place?
    4
  8040. +crazyfvck Nah, the Schwarzlose is neat. The is my second-least-favorite after the Techno Arms MAG-7. (that video will be posting in a few weeks).
    4
  8041. I disagree with the general idea that fragmenting is necessarily a bad thing. I think it could be equally termed as "specialization", that it has very real benefits. While bringing everything on the internet together into just a few sites does make things more readily accessible to people, it also means that just a few sites control everything. I think there is a very strong case to be made that the internet has less really interesting material today with everything throttled through Facebook and Google than it did 15 years ago when the internet was a plethora of unique independent web sites. Specialized web sites require more work to find, but they also often offer much better content.
    4
  8042. I tried one back when the first came out as the Arsenal Strike One. It seemed perfectly fine, but didn't really jump out at me. I'd be happy to take another look at the current iteration, but it's not on the top of my priorities.

  8063. I don't choose the moniker...
    4
  8064. Utreon is open to anyone creating an account. I would love to be on Nebula, but they don't allow new creators in.
    4
  8065. Given the binary choice, I would prefer Utreon. Thanks!
    4
  8066. Hi Jochen - What you saw was the result of my upload schedule - I typically try to stay a month or so ahead of publication. That many upload-but-unpublished videos is uncommon to say the least, and wasn't something Utreon had thought about. A bunch of people had the same complaint as you, and Utreon added a feature to remove unavailable videos from view, so you only see the ones that are public. For the record, those pay-tier videos are all becoming public, they were just uploaded early.
    4
  8067. +Perktube1 Which video?
    4
  8068. Once I have a clip or two and make sure it runs properly.

  8070. Except in the peak of summer, pretty much everything I wear is from Varusteleka. :)
    4
  8071. It is 7.63mm Mauser and is a complete mechanical copy of the C96, including the operating mechanism.
    4
  8072. Battlefield 1.
    4
  8073. Yes, it is still legally a firearm.
    4
  8074. The German military never used 7mm.
    4
  8075. Import markings.
    4
  8076. In 1918, machine guns were not registered and there was no tax stamp required. They weren't brought back in large numbers because, I expect, they weren't encountered in large numbers.
    4
  8077. PaK38 is 50mm, PaK40 is 75mm, PaK43 is 88mm, PaK44 is 128mm.
    4
  8078. Jonathan Hughes Well, I can't account for your experience. However, in addition to my word that it was live, you can see the action of the gun clearly recoiling. A blank would not create anywhere near enough muzzle energy to cause that.
    4
  8079. +craigtheng The gun is a registered DD; the ammunition is unregulated because the projectiles are solid an inert. Explosive projectiles would have to be registered as DDs as well.
    4
  8080. East German SKS: https://youtu.be/cPyvg5-drLM
    4
  8081. hblu 1) Fairly quickly - although it can be held with the bolt closed on an empty chamber, which I will explain in the full video later 2) Yes, absolutely. Makes it tricky to shoot accurately compared to a closed-bolt rifle.
    4
  8082. Danke. :) I'm usually okay until I hit a word with more syllables than I can count on both hands.
    4
  8083. Revolver. The self-loading cartridge did not exist in 1896.
    4
  8084. Yes.
    4
  8085. That's why we take your money now. :p
    4
  8086. My interpretation of Oppenheimer's deposition transcript is that while it may have begun as a money grab it has become a political move.
    4
  8087. That's why the thumbnail flag has 48 stars.
    4
  8088. Thanks!

  8089. I expect so, but it's not been arranged yet.
    4
  8090. Thanks!
    4
  8091. +brottarnacke Because the Saiga wasn't around when the push to make the others DDs was happening.
    4
  8092. +Barnaby hiles Thanks!

  8096. The HK21 was only made new; there was no actual conversion for the G3.
    4
  8097. Yes.
    4
  8098. Si. Yes.
    4
  8099. I suspect the mainspring tended to break a lot.
    4
  8100. No, I got home a few days ago
    4
  8101. What was this a commercial for? Honestly curious.
    4
  8102. This would have significantly added to the rifle's weight, which was unacceptable.
    4
  8103. IronWolfHead Where people choose to donate money is a personal decision, and I don't want to tell people they should support me instead of anyone else. If you feel that your dollars are better spent helping me do my work instead of with the NRA, I would be flattered and I'd love to have the support - but I'm not going to actively campaign for people to make that switch.
    4
  8104. Let your friends know - every little bit helps...
    4
  8105. Thank you!
    4
  8106. Yep - if each subscriber to the channel was willing to donate a buck, we'd be done and successful before three quarters of them had a chance to do it!
    4
  8107. Thanks, Jakob! I do realize that the gear is only as good as the user, but I believe that I am definitely being limited by my audio equipment right now, and I need a higher-tier camera to be able to use the really good audio (XLR).
    4
  8108. Nope, Fusil Automatique Leger.
    4
  8109. They are gone.
    4
  8110. No, that happened in development of a semiauto rifle in about 1902.
    4
  8111. Because Sarah Connor is a fantastic character and I wanted to see Linda Hamilton reprise the role.
    4
  8112. Unfortunately, I just don't the time to add captions to my videos - but the automated YouTube ones seem to be pretty good. Sorry!
    4
  8113. Thanks for the offer, Robert - I'll do that!
    4
  8114. There were two in that particular auction, and they went for $2300 and $3450 (one had a matching scope, the other was mismatched)
    4
  8115. +Robert Lanagan It's .36 caliber.
    4

  8122. Polymer as a material is great for firearms frames - about half the pistol market uses is now, and guns like the Steyr AUG have been using it for almost half a century. It's making a 1:1 polymer copy of a piece designed to be metal that is a problem.
    4
  8123. They are not G36 mags

  8127. I can't - YouTube does not allow links to sites that sell firearms.
    4
  8128. Bayonet drill.
    4
  8129. Both things are true - it reduces chamber pressure and counteracts the recoil. The reason for building it, however, was to have a portable weapon that fired a large shell, and the recoilless mechanism is suitable for that because of its low chamber pressure. The lack of net recoil is a side benefit.
    4
  8130. In the book.
    4
  8131. Then a lot of people would have argued that the 1911 would have done much better if I'd used two hands.
    4
  8132. The Bergmann 1896 was an unlocked, blowback mechanism. The reciprocating bolt is somewhat similar in appearance to the Mauser C96, but mechanically different. It did not have a slide like a Browning design.
    4
  8133. Yes - I've handled one and I have a bunch of information on them on Forgotten Weapons. FYI, it didn't use the .455 service cartridge, but instead a proprietary .45 Mars cartridge (as well as some other proprietary rounds) that was much more powerful.
    4
  8134. Eventually yes, I would like to.
    4
  8135. About 6kg.
    4
  8136. Yes, Nobel made his money by inventing dynamite.

  8137. Durn kids and their high rate of fire...
    4
  8138. I'm working on it.
    4
  8139. If I had posted this yesterday, people would not have believed it...
    4
  8140. I suspect it would do reasonably well. I think it would work fine until mud managed to actually get into the toggle mechanism, at which point it would immediately fail.
    4
  8141. Shao Zhang Maybe, not sure.
    4
  8142. zendell37 Nope, I always defer to the owner for that privilege. That way if it blows up, it's not me holding it. :)
    4
  8143. Rimmed cartridges generally don't work well in box magazines.
    4
  8144. You can't see people that far away,
    4
  8145. It's simple; insurgency is when they do and and counter-insurgency is when we do it.

  8146. China, child, chives.
    4
  8147. Yep, you are correct
    4
  8148. +Johnny Mabe Named after the Roman god of war.
    4
  8149. That would make sense...
    4
  8150. In designing cartridges, one important element is balancing the length and diameter of the case. Taking a small diameter case like the 5.56 and making it very long will result in poor powder burning characteristics.
    4
  8151. Rollin White only had a US patent, so it had no force in Europe where pinfires were being made.
    4
  8152. I have one filmed, just not posted yet.
    4
  8153. They are generally not too hard to find for sale in the $700-$800 range. I don't know how many are in the States, though.
    4
  8154. The two may look similar and share a tilting bolt, but the AG42 is not a copy of the SVT.
    4
  8155. Yes, modern ammo is fine - anything to SAAMI spec (which is everything made commercially). It's been a while since I looked at the rear sight closely, but I suspect elevation adjustment is limited to range adjustments or different heights of front sight.
    4
  8156. Heh... :)

  8159. TLDW: Gun sucks, get an AR.
    4
  8160. "SA80" is the name of the whole weapons family. The Individual Weapon is the L85A1 or L85A2, and the Light Support Weapon is the L86A1 or L86A2. There is no such thing as "SA80A1"

    4
  8166. We filmed this on the way home my Jumanji audition...
    4
  8167. Thanks, but I already have one :)
    4
  8168. Yes, it sure is.
    4
  8169. Good eye - it's an M76 (although we do have an NDM-86 Dragunov in our reference collection as well).
    4
  8170. 9x19.
    4
  8171. Apparently it was thought to be too fragile, and extended fire hurt the shooter's hand, because of the force needed to properly eject the spent cases.
    4
  8172. There really isn't enough spring tension on the breechblock to hurt you at all.
    4
  8173. Yep.
    4
  8174. Seriously though, they will go ups in value over 5 or 10 or 20 years - just like Benelli B76s have, for example. However, there are far better investments if you just want a good return over that long of a time frame. IMO, guns a pretty good way to hold value but a relatively poor investment to make a return.
    4
  8175. I suspect quite a lot, across all tech fields.
    4
  8176. Yes.
    4
  8177. That's an old and untrue myth.

  8179. That's me blowing up a Ross MkIII: Myth and Reality of the Ross MkIII Rifle
    4
  8180. Just for the sake of time. Showing reassembly doesn’t usually provide any new information but adds several minutes to the final video.
    4
  8181. It depends. Some guns can be restored without hurting value, others should not be.
    4
  8182. Other than the two cutaways on the shelf above my head, yes - they are all quite functional.
    4
  8183. No, the USW chassis does not fit regular 320 holsters. The stock release latch gets in the way.
    4
  8184. Sorry, I filmed this during the summer.
    4
  8185. No, the modern trigger dingus dates back to at least pre-WW1 pocket revolvers.
    4
  8186. Impossible as long as the safety is on.
    4
  8187. When a hammer-fired gun like this is cocked, the hammer if fully tensioned and need only be released to fire. On a striker-fired gun like a Glock, the striker is only partially tensioned until you pull the trigger, which first brings the striker back and then releases it. If something went wrong and the striker was released without the trigger being pulled, it would not detonate a cartridge, which is why they are considered safe to carry without a manual safety lever.
    4
  8188. Sorry, but I didn't have a chance to take a look at any of the palm pistols - maybe next time.
    4
  8189. In modern competition, the practice of manually decocking on a loaded chamber is not considered a safe practice.
    4
  8190. Because the cartridge is too long to fit in a 9x19 magazine well. So a manufacturer would have to make a new frame specifically for 7.62x25mm, and there is not enough interest to justify that.
    4
  8191. It's a match designed for small guns, so if you bring a big one your first magazine is limited to 5 rounds.
    4
  8192. I would guess Chinese and Bulgarian.
    4
  8193. Doozy. An impressive example of something.
    4
  8194. ***** Not really. I've done some shooting with my G41(W), and found it to actually be a slightly more pleasant gun to shoot than the G43.
    4
  8195. They did make a handful of them during WW2 as well, but they were as useless as the krummlaufs.
    4
  8196. I suspect that was an instrumentation error, as there is no plausible explanation for how that would have happened.
    4
  8197. et ze vood.
    4
  8198. +Kim Janek Indeed! You guys are great :)
    4
  8199. +BitBurgers Thank you!
    4
  8200. Not sure exactly what a smosh test is, but if you send the gun I'll smosh it! :)
    4
  8201. The Sjogren inertial shotgun predates this, and would be a much more likely gun to have influenced Benelli.
    4
  8202. Yep.
    4
  8203. +Will Alcantara Yes, and most bolt action rifles are striker-fired.
    4

    4
  8205. +Will Alcantara Gewehr 71/84.
    4
  8206. I haven't fired one, but I've done a bunch of research on them. On my web site you can download photos of both the first model (in 303) and second model (in 8mm), plus translations of some of the original Israeli testing reports. Unfortunately, they really just didn't stack up when compared to the Bren and MG34.
    4
  8207. Yes, they were very well made guns.
    4
  8208. Yeah, my range setup when doing video is usually not conducive to shooting groups at decent distances. I also often don't even try when the gun in question is old and heavily used, as the results would only describe that particular gun, and not how one would have performed fresh from the factory. However, I am planning to to a series of videos on sniper and DMR rifles, and those will all include shooting the best groups I can manage in an attempt to get some data on how such weapons perform compared to modern rifles.
    4
  8209. Adrian Larkins It's 8mm Mauser. For all practical purposes the same as .308/.30-06/7.62x54R/etc.
    4
  8210. This one is Polish.
    4
  8211. Still waiting on the printing process, sorry.
    4
  8212. If the NFA were not a thing, you would be right.
    4
  8213. Oh, he's seen it.
    4
  8214. All guns and magazines in this video were completely empty.
    4
  8215. It's recessed enough that it isn't a problem. The standard Savage .32 and .380 pistols use the same system.
    4
  8216. Just wait until you see the rest of what I have scheduled for December :)
    4
  8217. The 5-round magazine limit is only for guns that are too big to be considered "backup" guns.
    4
  8218. Because 7.62x25 Tokarev has an overall length 5mm longer than 9x19 and 3mm longer than .45ACP. As a result, a pistol frame made for 9mm or .45 (ie, all of them) has a magazine well too short for Tokarev. There isn't enough market for the caliber to make a whole new frame size for it, and thus there are no new pistols in Tokarev.
    4
  8219. I can't hold a conversation yet, but I am working on it.
    4
  8220. The sound really don't translate accurately onto camera.

  8222. Glad you liked it! I understand the issue with a 30-day rental - you are not the only person to bring it up. We have just changed the rental period to a year (the longest that Vimeo allows - please let me know if that change works retroactively for your purchase). We are hesitant to offer downloads of the show, because we expect they will immediately show up on Torrent networks. We will be offering a DVD option as well, which is an option if you prefer to have permanent ownership. I realize DVDs are easily pirated, but that is at least an extra step, rather than having an upload-able file right off the bat.

    4
  8228. +Entropy Zero Whoops, I misread and thought you said the 08/15. The MG08 cannot be fired while standing. The weight is part of it, and the other part is the trigger mechanism - it uses a pair of spade grips and thumb triggers. There's no way to both operate the trigger and hold it up. I suppose you could get one guy to hold the gun and a second guy to do the firing, but it's not a one-person operation.

  8237. My understanding is that it was designed at Sig, and shelved until the .277 Fury round was ready. The designers left to form Q, and introduced it themselves. Not sure about the patent situation, but clearly neither one infringes anything or we would have seen lawsuits over it.

  8247. I don't think my left-handedness held me back to any significant degree. I'm pretty sure I can run that rifle faster left handed than most people can right-handed. :)

    4
  8261. Yes, I am (specifically an all-original AK-12M).
    4
  8262. We would prefer to, but it's not always possible. We tried extensively to find an American printer for this book a year ago. We literally could not find a company that could both produce the features we need (the gilding, spine hubs, embossing, etc) and was willing to do the job (our original printer for Chassepot to FAMAS declined to even give us a quote).

  8278. I always use the flag from the time and place where a gun originated - so I use the old flag for pre-1994 guns and the current one for post-94 designs.
    4
  8279. I use the flag from the time and place where each gun was designed.
    4
  8280. I use the flag from the time and place where the gun was introduced. So South African guns from before 1994 use the old flag.
    4
  8281. Because the guns predate 1994. I use the flag form the time and place where the gun was designed.
    4
  8282. If he would want me on the show, it would be a lot of fun to do, I think.
    4
  8283. It can be done, but it is a huge PITA to disassemble the gas system.
    4
  8284. Because they finally replaced the 8mm Lebel with a modern cartridge (7.5x54) and didn't have the time or bureaucratic willpower to get a semiautomatic rifle finalize before WW2 broke out. They were close, though - it was adopted in 1945 (the MAS 44).

  8293. Nope, they are double stack magazines.
    4
  8294. Direct recording into the computer, instead of going through a camera.
    4
  8295. Too powerful for a blowback action.
    4
  8296. Quite well.
    4
  8297. We are a very friendly group.
    4
  8298. Practice.
    4
  8299. +The Major No, it's not. A spigot mortar uses the central spigot to guide the round, in place of an external barrel. This uses the central firing pin housing to adjust the volume of the firing chamber and has a traditional rifled barrel.
    4
  8300. The gun was not originally made with the capability of full-auto fire. It wasn't deemed necessary for the Volkssturm.
    4
  8301. The sights and handling are inferior to the StG44 and StG45, but I would prefer it over a submachine gun. I think the biggest concern would be durability. As long as you use ammo loaded to the pressure curve it's designed for it is pretty reliable, but it's not built to last a long time. IMO, it falls in the middle of the German combat arms. Better than an MP40 or K98k, but inferior to an StG or G43 (depending on the situation).
    4
  8302. It's 100% organic too!

  8306. I have done the Madsen LMG a couple times, the LAR, the M49 bolt action rifle, and the M50 SMG. Which one are you looking for?
    4
  8307. Actually, the US made reasonably extensive use of the M1916 37mm gun for anti-tank use as well as against gun emplacements.
    4
  8308. Nope...
    4
  8309. +Doctor Forbin I am not putting my phone number in a YouTube comments section.
    4
  8310. Yes. Bad choice on their part. :)
    4
  8311. In Armored division, you can use whatever gear you want. I had the magnifier on at first, but opted to take it off.
    4
  8312. I've already shipped it off to Finland, so I had to use something else for this match.
    4
  8313. Only the serial number has to be on metal, all the other info cam be engraved in plastic. If you look at something like a Glock, note that the company name and model are just in the plastic - the same goes for NFA markings. On a KP15, the underside of the trigger guard is a particularly convenient place to put them.
    4
  8314. It's allowed, it would have, and I should have. Mistakes are always made. :)
    4
  8315. Nope, no specific practical analog. It's intended to be an exercise where the farther you can throw, the fewer throws you have to make, but also that the more effort you put into throwing the more tired you get, presumably impairing your shooting.
    4
  8316. +Peter Timowreef The definition is potentially confusing because it includes two distinct types of guns - short versions of full size rifles, and also full size rifles firing pistol cartridges. The difference between carbine and SMG is that SMGs are select-fire and carbines (of the pistol caliber variety) are semiauto only (or manually operated).
    4
  8317. The MkB-42(H), because it was issued in significant numbers and used with a tactical doctrine which exploited the technical capabilities of the design.
    4
  8318. No, they made them new.
    4
  8319. In an unrelated job long ago, I almost got fired for my horrible welding. :)
    4
  8320. Thanks, but I know my limitations.
    4
  8321. The Grease gun is a submachine gun, not a rifle. The US had a series of designations for each different class of weapon.
    4
  8322. Yeah, I recorded this before publishing the Ljungman video.
    4
  8323. I misremembered it - it's a Bloke on the Range video, with a cameo appearance by BML: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ6slu79lXc
    4
  8324. Yep, and a couple experimental ones were also made in .30 Carbine before they scaled the rifle up to use the .280 round.
    4
  8325. The handguard is made by KE, here in Arizona.
    4
  8326. I feel you...that Mini-Fix is really, really tempting.
    4
  8327. MSRP is 1249.99. The barrel is a pencil profile, like the M16A1.
    4
  8328. Eugene Stoner designed the original AR-10 rifle.
    4
  8329. Yes, I link to his Instagram in the video description text.
    4
  8330. I would have totally commissioned one for myself if he were in the US, or if it were practical to import a silencer.
    4
  8331. Other way around - you could mount the No4 Enfield spike bayonet to the e-tool handle. This was done so you could then use the handle and spike as a land mine probe.
    4
  8332. It is very common for arms companies to transition to other commercial products, and for other types of manufacturing companies to transition to arms manufacturing. Historically, bicycles and typewriters were particularly common.
    4
  8333. Yeah, it's out of print and hard to find.
    4
  8334. +The Happy Frog For the record, we would have handled it much differently if it were an original. And the guy who loaded it to us was the manufacturer, so getting a replacement stock was easy.
    4
  8335. mike C No, they were originally issued with 3 mags each (I had one of the mag pouched for a while). When production couldn't keep up, stripper clips were the next best option.
    4
  8336. All the extra supporter videos that are on Patreon are also being posted on Utreon.
    4
  8337. Floatplane is a basic backup only. It has no discovery algorithm, and only paying subscribers can see any of the videos. As such, it is basically a walled garden, and isn't intended as a place to grow an audience. I don't plan to stop using Floatplane, but it's not a long-term solution.
    4
  8338. Well, two reasons. If you're the Indian government, you own a rifle factory and can make more SMLE rifles any time you want to. If you're a British subject and given the choice of handing in your rifle for destruction or boring it out to .410 smoothbore, it's a pretty tempting option.
    4

  8349. +compwiz101 Yes, I agree.
    4
  8350. World War One is largely responsible for the current unrest in the middle east.
    4
  8351. The NFA regulation of short barreled guns and AOWs has been pointless and obsolete form the day it was passed, and they need to be removed.

  8353. +Brendan N Yes, I believe so.
    4
  8354. Always keeping an eye out for them...
    4
  8355. Scott Ruggels I plan to! :)
    4
  8356. AmoebicMagician No problem. Double guns with double triggers can certainly be fired simultaneously, by pulling both triggers. But if one of the trigger will fire both barrels by itself, then something is wrong. Consider that in such a situation, there would be no way to fire just the second barrel, which you might want to do since the two barrels typically will have different chokes.
    4
  8357. AmoebicMagician That sounds like a malfunctioning trigger mechanism to me, and might be something to have a gunsmith take a look at.
    4
  8358. No.
    4
  8359. I am not aware of a recall on the SP1, however the CP1 did have that sort of problem and was recalled.
    4
  8360. Sorry, but I speak only a tiny bit of French. Eventually, I would like to make a version of this series spoken in French, but that will not be possible for a while.
    4
  8361. Yes, they would have - but that would have defeated the purpose of getting them muddy in the first place.
    4
  8362. Thunderbolt22A10 Nope, I don't think any variation of the M14/M1A (or even the M1, for that matter) would perform any differently. The problem is fundamental to the design: get gunk in the oprod track, and it will stop working.
    4
  8363. We didn't go out of the way to point it out in the video, but we taped up the muzzles of all the guns before starting, to prevent mud from plugging the bores.
    4
  8364. D3USN3X This mud testing video is 9 minutes long, with a 15-second ad at the beginning.

  8368. I would call that a magazine safety. But I can see the terminology being used either way.
    4
  8369. None that I am aware of.
    4
  8370. Quite reasonable.
    4
  8371. Yeah, that would be technically correct. But what the DI label does convey is understanding that the mechanism is designed to use the gas impulse in a location physically distant from the gas block.
    4
  8372. No. Monster is gross.
    4
  8373. My pleasure - glad you like them!
    4
  8374. After the Kickstarter, yes (for full retail price).

  8381. "Marky Mark" Markus Gaming Depending on the pistol and the buyer, sure.
    4
  8382. Sorry, I may have misread your comment and assumed you were asking why I wasn't in the Finnish military. I didn't join the US military because it wasn't what I wanted to do as a career. I have far more access to disparate firearms as a civilian than I would in the military. I find military-style matches fun, but that doesn't mean I would want to be a professional soldier. I also enjoy diving and mixology, but I do not want to be a professional bartender (did that for a few years) or a professional diver. Matches like Finnish Brutality are challenging and rewarding, and a chance for some great camaraderie with people who do make professional use of my work.
    4
  8383. I didn't see any this year, but I have seen them once or twice in previous years.
    4
  8384. I suppose I have to age some time...
    4
  8385. Nope, same stages for shotgun. It involved a lot of reloading.
    4
  8386. Not any time soon - just watch Othais'.
    4
  8387. It's coming.
    4
  8388. The tea tasted terrible, and probably gave everyone arsenic poisoning.
    4
  8389. Nope.
    4
  8390. I didn't try that, but I think you probably could (since it fires from a closed bolt). Not sure you'd really want to, though.
    4
  8391. Grain is a unit of weight commonly used for bullets. One gram is 15.4 grains, and 1 ounce is 437.5 grains.
    4
  8392. Good point! I didn't think about that.
    4
  8393. We are both right. Garand's very early primer-actuated rifles were designed using BAR mags, but by the time the competition was narrowed down to the last few contenders in the 1930s it was all fixed magazines and clips. The detachable magazines came back during wartime experimentation.
    4
  8394. You think I have an anti-gun bias? That's patently absurd. When Armalite developed the rifle, they named it the AR-15. They sold it in both semiauto and full auto versions to civilian and military customers worldwide. The US Air Force bought full auto AR-15s in 1960. The first Colt manual for the rifle calls it the AR-15 "Basic Infantry Weapon". Singapore bought thousands of full auto AR-15s in the mid 60s. When the US Army tested and adopted the AR-15, they designated it the M16 - it's the same rifle. You think there is a magical distinction and that if we pretend they are different, the anti gunners will have to leave AR15s alone. You are wrong. They don't care what the gun is called, they want to ban them and wasting our time and energy on pointless nomenclature "gotchas" is dumb.
    4
  8395. Yep, that's what I read. I didn't do it before the match because I had just installed a firing pin spring, and wasn't sure if the hammer spring change would reduce hammer force and possibly cause light strikes. I'd rather deal with the trigger than take that chance.
    4
  8396. The other shooters generally don't use anything as odd as I do. I did get video of a friend shooting this match with a modernized FG-42, though... ;)
    4
  8397. ADVtheMISSIONARY I like the Hakim, but it's inferior to the 49/56 in almost every way other than reliability. Longer, heavier, poor sights, and slower to reload.
    4
  8398. Yep, I will be.
    4
  8399. There's no restriction (most people use ARs) - I just find it more interesting to use older and less common guns to learn about how they actually handle in use.
    4
  8400. Yes, but not this conversion of them.
    4
  8401. +taz ZAT I haven't posted it yet. I have several videos coming on Swiss prototypes and they all reference each other...but one had to be the first published.
    4
  8402. No, nothing to do with that.
    4
  8403. Thanks - I'll keep the offer in mind!
    4
  8404. Yeah, they had a bunch of M4s. Also racks of SIG 550s, FALs, Garands, Skorpions, G3s, and a slew of bolt guns. I have a photos on the Forgotten Weapons facebook page of the front foyer, with its display of 1910 Maxims and MkI Brens around a Russian mortar. :)
    4
  8405. It absolutely is.
    4
  8406. The FAI was literally the Iberian Anarchist Federation.
    4
  8407. At some point in your collection you will realize that the books are just as important as the guns - and you will regret not getting the books sooner.
    4
  8408. Sorry, but no.
    4
  8409. That's on purpose.
    4
  8410. No, it was an experimental self-loading rifle.
    4
  8411. Thanks!
    4
  8412. No, I have no control over them.
    4
  8413. Several 76s, including one from the Northwest Mounted Police. :)
    4
  8414. Generally, so the spin of the bullet will tend to tighten the suppressor instead of loosen it.
    4
  8415. Well, FWIW, there were versions of the Farquhar-Hill made with standard box magazines.
    4
  8416. Back in 2011 when it was posted, that was a reasonably decent camera.
    4
  8417. Wouldn't make any difference - the bullet never starts moving.
    4
  8418. Barrel life on a Vickers is 10-15 thousand rounds depending on how rapidly it is fired.
    4
  8419. It is very interesting to compare US and Japanese aircraft losses in the Solomon campaign, and then compare their air crew losses.

  8422. No, one of the forts around Verdun.
    4
  8423. Zachary Sohn Definitely, as long as they work well!
    4
  8424. They are very difficult to import into the US; that's why the prices are much higher here.
    4
  8425. They either use them on a rental machine gun range business or just pass them around.
    4
  8426. Sorry, I mixed up the first name. It was George who invented the gun; no relation to the Morse code guy, Samuel.

FYI, these early AR-10s were made in the Netherlands by AI, but they are generally referred to by their specific contract buyers, as the design of the gun changed slightly to meet each buyer's requirements. This one was from the batch purchased by Portugal; there were also Sudanese guns, Cuban guns, and others.
    4
  8430. I goofed; it wasn't supposed to post until tomorrow.
    4
  8431. Well, later this week we'll have a rather different perspective on this particular match, thanks to my friend Karl...
    4
  8432. Yup.
    4
  8433. It's in the final stages of printing - hopefully we will have an ETA soon.
    4
  8434. @elmer6535 They arrived at our warehouse the day before Thanksgiving, and just started shipping this week. We have a lot to send out, but you will get an email notification when yours goes into the mail.
    4
  8435. I don't know yet, sorry. It's still a work in progress.
    4
  8436. We do still have signed copies available in Europe...
    4
  8437. Only the German firm; not the Swiss or American branches.
    4
  8438. Sig Germany and Sig US are independent companies, and the US operation is doing fine.
    4
  8439. +Lupyrius Not that I know of, but there was a fair amount of cross-polination between Swiss and German arms companies at the time.
    4
  8440. https://youtu.be/FrVzj6QqTyo
    4
  8441. +I play random stuff Not yet, but I would like to.
    4
  8442. +Jacob Mcdonald As far as I know, none of these were used in combat.
    4
  8443. Different bullet weights in a 9mm handgun really don't make any appreciable difference on a spinner.
    4
  8444. I don't, sorry.
    4
  8445. The US does not have proofing laws or any formal proof houses.
    4
  8446. The shield is easily detached.
    4
  8447. +neo-hoi-meenoi-hoi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOYf7_gqOvs
    4
  8448. Yes. They made several versions of the Type 100 in 8mm Nambu, and also used a couple foreign guns, notably the Steyr-Solothurn S1-100 (aka MP34).
    4
  8449. I bought it in Rome.
    4
  8450. Definitely prefer a Type 11.
    4
  8451. Probably to ensure quality; leftover military guns had often been run hard and put up wet, so to speak.
    4
  8452. I have no control over the content of ads, unfortunately.
    4
  8453. They seem pretty good
    4
  8454. Rarely, but once in a while.
    4
  8455. The sights are offset to the left of the receiver, which is the ideal setup for a right handed shooter - you're correct about lefties not being taken into account at the time. If you think about shouldering a rifle right-handed, your cheek is on the left side of the piece.
    4
  8456. Best of luck!
    4
  8457. +Harold Weaver Smith I would like to, but they are very rare in the US. If I can find one, I will. In the meantime, I do have some photos of one disassembled on ForgottenWeapons.com .
    4
  8458. Sadly, it did not. :(
    4
  8459. These are legal to own in a majority of European countries. In particular, Finland, Sweden, Norway, France, Germany, Malta, Czech Republic, Poland, and more.
    4
  8460. They are delrin plastic, not metal.
    4
  8461. That was a Chassepot and its bayonet.
    4
  8462. Chauchats in the US typically cost $4k-$7k. How reliable they are depends on the quality of your magazines and ammo, anf how well the gun was cared for over the 100 or so years since it was made.
    4
  8463. That ratchet counter ain't the boss of me.
    4
  8464. No - but the rules do require swinging between the legs. We've had a couple people injured trying to throw on one side.
    4
  8465. Spare rifle and pistol ammo, food, water, flashlight, bipod (when not on the rifle), raincoat
    4
  8466. They both make use of the Abadie patent for that hammer disconnect feature, which was invented by a Belgian gunsmith in 1878.
    4
  8467. Not sure - I haven't tried researching that question.
    4
  8468. If I owned a FAMAS, I would.
    4
  8469. Awesome, that's what. :)
    4
  8470. This is a different rifle than in the disassembly video. That one was at the museum in Leeds; this one is at the school at Shrivenham where they have a hands-on working collection rather than a museum.
    4
  8471. No. It would be very difficult to mount a silencer, because the barrel is fixed and the slides moves forward of the muzzle to reload.
    4
  8472. For trusts, yes (they really don't like trusts). For individual registrations, no.
    4
  8473. No, there is not.
    4
  8474. It expired in 1870, and the SAA was introduced in 1873. Colt introduced the Open Top and sold it from 1870-1872 as an intermediary using cartridges but built largely on 1860 Army parts.
    4
  8475. Okay, but those are actual surplus South African shorts.
    4
  8476. It's right here: https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/forgotten-weapons-boonie-hat-ianpat/77397
    4
  8477. Doesn't matter; it's being made in Europe and ships from Finland. :)
    4
  8478. Nope. None good or bad.
    4
  8479. My retirement plan is to sell it to Herrera...
    4
  8480. Only one that I am aware of; SIG's AK-53 prototype.
    4
  8481. This thing was cleared and disassembled several times before we started filming.
    4
  8482. Difficult call. I actually filmed this a couple days before I started messing with the AN-94.
    4
  8483. Not next, but it's coming.
    4
  8484. Lengthening the cartridge would require lengthening the receiver and elevator, basically redesigning the whole gun. A longer cartridge would also increase the chances on the front of the bullet separating from the rear "tail" when firing.
    4
  8485. wyzarme I think these are just really unpleasant to shoot and wouldn't last very long in use.
    4
  8486. +TheNordus Yes, they are.
    4
  8487. Daniel van Slooten The Lewis was not synchronized because it fired from an open bolt, and thus had a lock time that was difficult to precisely predict. The Vickers, however, is a closed-bolt system (like the Maxim) and was ideal for synchronization.
    4
  8488. Colombian
    4
  8489. No, I'm sticking to rifles for this series.
    4
  8490. No, I have not.
    4
  8491. Yep.
    4
  8492. Nope, it is spelled correctly.
    4
  8493. The AK and M1 Garand are very lefty-friendly. Frankly, I'm pretty sure I can run a bolt rifle faster than most right-handed shooters...it's all about practice.
    4
  8494. No unarmed targets were hit during the shooting of Stage 2.
    4
  8495. Jamel Coonington It's a 2-gun match that we happen to be using sniper rifles for the rifle component.
    4
  8496. In general, I don't think being left handed is a significant handicap. If you watch the offhand shooting at the very beginning, you'll see that I have a higher rate of fire than Karl.
    4
  8497. I've handled them, but not yet shot one. Karl has shot them, and is not particularly impressed.
    4
  8498. Same reason there are so few "SA" stamped Tokarev pistols :)
    4
  8499. I have several videos on the Volcanic; just search for them.
    4
  8500. Yes, the ejection was a bit erratic.
    4
  8501. Nope, never seen one of those.
    4
  8502. The mechanism doesn't use friction of the bullet in the rifling to operate, it uses recoil energy. You can see in the slow-mo (when viewed frame by frame) that the slide doesn't start moving until after the bullet has left the muzzle.
    4
  8503. No, they really are not. The M60 evolved form the Lewis, and the 240 from the BAR.
    4
  8504. The US Army adopted a .30 caliber rifle round in the .30-40 Krag, aka .30 US or .30 Army. When the Springfield 1903 was adopted using a different .30 caliber cartridge, it wassailed the .30-03 to designate the year of adoption. That round was redesigned in 1906, and the new one was called .30-06.
    4
  8505. Thanks!
    4
  8506. I will remember that for me next trip, thanks!
    4
  8507. Yes, there are a couple of them still around.
    4
  8508. 1990alc $32,500 plus buyer's premium.
    4
  8509. Our GamePC Yep, you're right.
    4
  8510. +astondriver No, not yet.
    4
  8511. As far as I can tell, yes it is.
    4
  8512. Nope.
    4
  8513. No, just another video from that initial trip. There's another one coming next week too.
    4
  8514. The majority of German troops had K98k rifles right up to the end of the war.
    4
  8515. Also YouTube Censors: What do you mean the FAMAS magazine is only 25 rounds? It's an evil black rifle; we heard that means 30 rounds.
    4
  8516. +Schmunzel57 http://www.mcpheetersantiquemilitaria.com/06_ammunition/06_item_026.htm
    4
  8517. No, the tank was named after a different Chaffee.
    4
  8518. I am not.
    4
  8519. It does look a bit out of place, but it's way more comfortable to hold than the first model with its sharply swept-back grip. That one is just downright awkward.
    4
  8520. The external dimensions are the same, but original parts do not interchange (not that anyone has any...) The HZA rifles are indeed nearly identical copies of the original guns. So close that they will never be possible to import into the US, because ATF deems them to be machine guns (and HZA isn't interested in making a US-compliant version).
    4
  8521. Right handed is not a problem at all. It may look close, but the magazine is plenty far enough forward that you aren't going to have it hit you.
    4
  8522. I don't know - I've only disassembled one original and it hadn't been fired much at all.
    4
  8523. This is a common misconception, but incorrect. The recoil buffer on the FG42 does not interact with the bolt, and has no impact on rate of fire. In addition, the reproductions are being made in both 8x57mm Mauser and 7.62x51mm NATO (aka .308 - not 43mm).
    4
  8524. EIBBOR2654 They use modified M14 magazines. You'll need to remove the holdopen from the followers, or replace them with G3 followers.
    4
  8525. Yup.
    4
  8526. The purpose was to make the receiver shorter, but putting the magazine and the trigger group in the same space. If the magazine were on the bottom, it would have to be moved forward of the trigger, thus adding several inches to the overall length.
    4
  8527. ***** There are a couple problems with that theory. First off, the 1st model grip is actually less useful when pointing the gun downwards than the 2nd model grip. More importantly, German paratroops tended to jump at very low altitudes and used a single-point harness that would be impossible to shoot from even if they had time to do so. I believe the early grip was intended to simulate the grip angle form a K98k, and it was revised in the later patterns because the more vertical grip is simply a lot more ergonomic.
    4
  8528. InRangeTV - it's in the description text of every video I post...
    4
  8529. +Clyde Wary The blow-forward Schwarzlose is the 1908 model, not the 1898 one.
    4
  8530. +Red Burton You bet! Glad you liked it.
    4
  8531. +Southerngunner 87 I took it down to fix an editing goof.
    4
  8532. Gracias!
    4
  8533. It's a parts kit build. South African kit, Argentine barrel, British optic.
    4
  8534. Yes, they did experiment with electrically-powered Gatlings at the time. They were Naval experiments, since it wasn't practical at the time to haul around batteries of power generating equipment - but a Naval vessel had engines always running, and generating electricity was much more convenient. Nothing ever came of it, though, because the small caliber because obsolete for Naval use.
    4
  8535. retsaoter I don't know what that is...
    4
  8536. Nice! I have a GI bring back myself, and I found the exact model in here. :)
    4
  8537. Skennerton's "Lee Enfield Story" is outstanding - it covers the whole arc of Enfield development and has a ton of great info.
    4
  8538. Yes, I am quite sure that it's not a copy.
    4
  8539. Probably a gun rebuilt in 1918 with a new barrel - the dates on these are barrel dates, not receiver dates. So an early gun that just needed a new barrel could easily end up in the early configuration but with a 1918 date on it.
    4
  8540. Worth noting that Winchester's winning design had been in development (in .30-06) for several years prior to the carbine competition. Also that there were a number of production problems in the early days that are generally forgotten about because the gun ended up being very successful.
    4
  8541. That is correct.
    4
  8542. I did have to be a bit careful with that... ;)
    4
  8543. Just the friends I made along the way... ;)
    4
  8544. I didn't take a prize; the match is reward enough. Also, it would have been difficult for me to take most of them home. :)
    4
  8545. Subscribe to Polenar and they will post updates when next year's match is coming up.
    4
  8546. Probably; haven’t talked to Franklin Armory 😆
    4
  8547. It is, but it's just to show the reticle image on a monitor screen
    4
  8548. There was an excellent article on Colliers published by the American Society of Arms Collectors a while back. http://americansocietyofarmscollectors.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/B024_Bedford.pdf
    4
  8549. Impossible; he doesn't even have a mustache.
    4
  8550. ;)
    4
  8551. Done, thanks! I'll do that in the future.
    4
  8552. The organization has changed a lot in the past 7+ years.
    4
  8553. Γεώργιος Κοσκοσίδης It would be a Destructive Device, but that doesn't make it illegal to own. Just means it has to be registered and a tax paid when it changes ownership.
    4
  8554. If I happen to find myself with access to one, sure - but the chance of that happening are very slim. If you're planning spend the money to buy one, you really should not rely on some guy on YouTube to research it. :)
    4
  8555. The Type 97 aircraft gun was totally different - a licensed copy of the Vickers.
    4
  8556. I didn't remove it. They just arrested a guy with a Glock, but I wouldn't have taken down the video even if I actually was wrong...which I wasn't.
    4
  8557. The Bren was developed from the Czech ZB-26, which Brno submitted to British military trials (specifically, the ZBG-33). The British accepted it, and built them under license at Enfield, hence the Br-En name. However, Inglis also manufactured them in Canada, and sold a bunch to China in 8x57 caliber. It was some of those guns that were captured by communist Chinese and converted to 7.62x39.
    4
  8558. Standard 7.62x54R.
    4
  8559. https://youtu.be/ivLPqkEaKOI
    4
  8560. If it was fake, I would not have done a video on it.
    4
  8561. The XM7 doesn't have a bayonet lug or rifle grenade capacity, but it seems to me to definitely be a battle rifle.
    4
  8562. MarColMar makes them in a few colors, but the Spanish military ones were all green.
    4
  8563. Nothing is guaranteed in life, but Patreon is a very reliable platform for me. That said, I do have Floatplane as well (see the video description) for folks who don't like either YouTube and/or Patreon.
    4
  8564. Not this one.
    4
  8565. Chamber pressure in the .30-06 is almost 50% higher than .30-40. The .30-06 is a 152gr bullet at ~2800fps, where .30-40 was a 220gr bullet at 2000 fps.
    4
  8566. The .30-06 is substantially more powerful than .30-40, and the Krag action is not strong enough for .30-06.
    4
  8567. The combination of high pressure rifle cartridges and a weight limit of about 10 pounds for a rifle. Semiauto pistols can be done because they use much less powerful ammunition, and machine guns can weight twice as much or more as the practical limit for a rifle.
    4
  8568. Repro.
    4
  8569. Sure, that would work.
    4
  8570. I agree, but St Etienne did make a very small trial runs of then in 7.62mm.
    4
  8571. I will cover that next week...
    4
  8572. https://youtu.be/W3IiWjdbUZg https://youtu.be/98c2t_uK5Uo
    4
  8573. As long as you were okay with iron sights, it would make a fine hunting rifle.
    4
  8574. I don't have access to a live one, but I can probably do a video on one of Midwest Metal's semiauto Madsen LMGs.
    4
  8575. Haven't done a P38 yet, but here's a Nambu: https://youtu.be/cTRKcT68uJI
    4
  8576. https://youtu.be/OXFOyn141jY
    4
  8577. As I say in the description, the April auction has been postponed. I filmed this in early February.
    4
  8578. camerl2009 On this particular one, yes. These guns were all hand-made, not standardized and mass produced. Lots of variations between individual examples.
    4
  8579. I have a separate standalone video coming on the M10.
    4
  8580. +meka erwin Usually it happens when a dealer rebuilds a parts kit into a live gun, legally manufacturing it in the process.
    4
  8581. I'm all for being precise with terminology, but this is going too far. "Gun" is legitimate shorthand for "firearm".
    4
  8582. +Down Range Film I actually did one a while back...
    4
  8583. Grenades.
    4
  8584. Nope. They went into storage for a while and then were all scrapped.
    4
  8585. I've seen photos! We cover all of the models they have there.
    4
  8586. Nope.
    4
  8587. Only in one of them, unfortunately.
    4
  8588. It was Boothroyd's, and we have photos of it and its holster in Licensed Troubleshooter...
    4
  8589. +Zackery Olson Nope.
    4
  8590. Didn't look realistic enough.
    4
  8591. No, sorry.
    4
  8592. Yup. Whoops!
    4
  8593. Yep, definitely plan to, as soon as I can get one of them.
    4
  8594. Pre-1898 firearms are easy to import legally into the US.
    4
  8595. Really, the buyer is paying about $300 for the gun and about $24,700 for the legal registration papers.
    4
  8596. We don't normally use "type" as a synonym for "model", but we do use it to distinguish between different variations of something.
    4
  8597. The Type 1/2/3 designations are not intended to be factory designations, they are the names in common use by the English-speaking community. As I said, the role of Schmeisser is disputed.
    4
  8598. AEA Arms has them available in the US now...
    4
  8599. Have been for 60 years.
    4
  8600. It does have a disconnector to prevent full-auto fire, but no other safeties. At time, the standard handgun was a revolver with no safeties, and automatic pistols were generally treated the same way. Hammer back means ready to fire; hammer forward means safe.
    4
  8601. Nothing is ever guaranteed, but from talking to their CEO a number of times, I am very confident.
    4
  8602. Yes.
    4
  8603. Hi Polenar!
    4
  8604. Not in front line service, but they are being used in Ukraine.
    4
  8605. They are still promoting it, but I do not believe they will ever produce rifles.
    4
  8606. Just like all the morons buying .22s?
    4
  8607. Eventually, yes.
    4
  8608. Yes, in about a week.
    4
  8609. His answer to that question was a practical one, not a philosophical one.
    4
  8610. It is true for virtually all rifles.
    4
  8611. I suspect that one is not semiautomatic.
    4
  8612. It will be soon, but not yet.
    4
  8613. Nope, it came with just a plain thread protector.
    4
  8614. L
    4
  8615. Yep!
    4
  8616. 3x
    4
  8617. The rifle is a totally normal 1886 Lebel. If you want to know more about it, this is a better video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yM68YFzRGY
    4
  8618. Ejecting rounds generally go out the side, not upward. Loading was done one round at a time.
    4
  8619. No, that one will be a little while before we have much to say. Maxim is still finishing the manuscript.
    4
  8620. Simple solution: put the hood up on your head. :)
    4
  8621. A lot of reading, a fair bit of shooting, and a lot of listening to people who know more than I do.
    4
  8622. It's called that because of the resemblance to the musical instrument. When these were being made, the box magazine had not yet been invented.
    4
  8623. Only for Adventures in Surplus! ...
    4
  8624. It's roughly equivalent to .303 British ballistics, and just a bit under .30-06 or 8mm Mauser. The early Balle D used a 198gr bullet at ~2400fps and the later Balle N used a 232gr bullet at ~2100fps.
    4
  8625. I spent a short time working as a machinist for the folks who now write at GunLab.net
    4
  8626. The most concise description I've heard is that it handles like a 1911 and carries like a Glock. I like it.
    4
  8627. The H9 has the simplicity of a trigger safety and striker like a Glock, while having the handling of a 1911 with a near-1911 trigger and being flatter/smoother shooting than either one.
    4
  8628. +THEREALBONZO My non-GI holster wouldn't fit on a cartridge belt, so I used a pistol belt instead. Since the courses of fire only required a couple clips, the mag pouch worked fine.
    4
  8629. Funny you should suggest that... :) In practice, the FG is actually much more similar to the M1 than the BAR. FG-42 vs BAR in the 2 Gun Action Challenge Match
    4
  8630. We are looking into the possibility.
    4
  8631. It has no gas system, so no.
    4
  8632. Yes, it was.
    4
  8633. My guess would be a vz24 Czech Mauser bayonet, but I have not tried one to be sure.
    4
  8634. Yes, I am.
    4
  8635. Possibly, but there is no way to know.
    4
  8636. +Garry Owen JB Weld? Nope, not making a firing pin out of that.
    4
  8637. Thanks!
    4
  8638. Youtube decided it violates UK law, and blocked it. That's nonsense, but I have been unable (despite repeated attempts) to change it.
    4
  8639. Huge manufacturing bottlenecks. Only 2,000 of the first model FGs were made out of a fairly reasonable contract for 5,000.
    4
  8640. Well, he DID love dogs, and personally rid the world of one of its most notorious dictators...
    4
  8641. Gustloff did work on an "MKb" in 8x57, but it never went beyond prototypes: https://youtu.be/aLR-f7qSScU
    4
  8642. It's not all that uncommon for countries to keep decades or even centuries of obsolete small arms, usually because it's easier than the process of getting rid of them.
    4
  8643. Yes, eventually I will be covering the Gras, Chassepot, Lebel, MAS-36, and MAS 44 series.
    4
  8644. He formed Sionics, and partnered with Gordon Ingram to make the MAC-10 successful.
    4
  8645. Nope, I checked that.
    4
  8646. That was my initial assumption, but on inspection it seemed that something inside the bottom of the receiver was preventing the locking block from traveling freely.
    4
  8647. It was far cheaper to build these mockups, because they had very loose requirements for machining tolerances, since they did not actually fire. And, of course, the raw materials were much cheaper.
    4
  8648. Early Automatic Pistols
    4
  8649. They did.
    4
  8650. No.
    4
  8651. +Drucifer ising Nope.
    4
  8652. Yes.
    4
  8653. No, they produce recoil like anything else.
    4
  8654. I have not; I haven't even found one. If any still exist, they are probably only in Oberndorf's reference collection.
    4
  8655. Did you not see that bolt?
    4
  8656. No. Where did that idea come from?
    4
  8657. The video was linked from 9 Hole Reviews' video yesterday.
    4
  8658. Trying to tie videos to specific holidays would be a hopeless rabbit hole for me to go down. Also, I wanted to coordinate with Henry and Josh.
    4
  8659. +James Carmean Pima Pistol Club. The 2-Gun match is the third Saturday of every month.
    4
  8660. +Chris Turman It's harder than it looks...you should try it yourself before you criticize.
    4
  8661. I got the Type 38 as part of an auction lot, so it doesn't have a price by itself. It is a matching Mukden production rifle, so the value is probably relatively high as Type 38s go.
    4
  8662. +101Crock Don't, just leave it in the trench where you use it. When you are relieved, give it to your replacement (or take your rifle out and leave the stock).
    4
  8663. I was waiting to find one I trusted to be completely authentic.
    4
  8664. They did not make any dedicated carbine versions, though.
    4
  8665. I am planning to do more of these in future auction house visits, when I have access to groups of guns like this.
    4
  8666. +Walter Zoomie http://www.forgottenweapons.com/belt-fed-johnson-lmgs/
    4
  8667. +Marc Jansson They are dummy rounds; the flutes are to positively identify them as such.
    4
  8668. +Lazy Pea Yeah, I do.
    4
  8669. Nope. I pick the things that I am interested in and that I think you guys would enjoy seeing.
    4
  8670. Originally, greased asbestos string. Today there are a number of options, including greased string, rubber o-rings, teflon tape, and more.
    4
  8671. I'm sure it happened, although I don't have a firsthand source for the story.
    4
  8672. Pretty much the same (the MG08 was a Maxim, which is the gun the Vickers was developed from), but the Vickers was lighter.
    4
  8673. Yes, it is.
    4
  8674. We don't have one in our reference collection, but we do really like old .32s, and we will certainly do and article or video on them whenever we are able to get our hands on one to examine.
    4
  8675. +27dcx There are a number of blow-forward semiautos that work in a very similar way. I have videos on three of them; look for the 1908 Schwarzlose, the Hino Kimuro, and the 1894 Mannlicher.
    4
  8676. Yes, it did need to be wound.
    4
  8677. The TT33 is better, IMO.
    4
  8678. Yes I do.
    4
  8679. They still don't get to pick physically impossible things though...
    4
  8680. Apparently, yes.
    4
  8681. +Sean Dali Yes, but the "n" is not a typo - the gun is labeled "Warwinck"
    4
  8682. True.
    4
  8683. As I explained in the video, it is a semiauto lower. The auto marking is for looks only.
    4
  8684. Definitely just you.
    4
  8685. +GorillaGuerilla I expect the title was chosen by the publisher for marketing value, not by the author.
    4
  8686. I have videos on Japanese and American ones...
    4
  8687. +Hank Friesen That's not flinch, that's the bolt slamming forward.
    4
  8688. Once they are scheduled for publication they are no longer viewable.
    4
  8689. Forgotten Weapons is not demonetized.
    4
  8690. srvanddt1 Yeah, it is. I have some other footage for an upcoming video on Swiss rifles where I am making 500m hits on a 20" plate with a Gewehr 1911 in the wind, shooting prone without a rest.
    4
  8691. The problem is that the editing process is where I correct any factual mistakes in the video.
    4
  8692. Not specifically - I will be doing a talk with Polenar on the IWA stage, and also doing a meet & greet at the Spar-Tac booth (times to be announced).
    4
  8693. I post the winners on Instagram each month - just waiting for the photo of the SVT winner
    4
  8694. Indeed!
    4
  8695. Haven't seen one for sale anywhere yet, but I'm always looking. :)
    4
  8696. +JohnLeePedimore They did; a different unit designated the M3. Charlie's book has a whole chapter on them.
    4
  8697. They do; that's the standard 5.56mm MDRX with a 16" barrel.
    4
  8698. It makes the shooting harder (and more realistic) and it saves a lot of administrative range work.
    4
  8699. Yes it is.
    4
  8700. I am currently working on a reference guide to French rifles, actually.
    4
  8701. Other than starting to unscrew each stage it was fine. I didn't have a chance to do any filming on it.
    4
  8702. elektro3000 Personally, I would take the MPL...but that's in part due to a slightly irrational dislike for HK designs. I don't like their sights, triggers, or charging handles, and I've always had issues with MP5s not liking to seat a magazine under a closed bolt.
    4
  8703. Ashley is a very cool person, and happily engaged to a very cool guy, who is not me.
    4
  8704. +Jimme John Most likely 8mm Mauser, although it could have been 8x50R from Austro-Hungarian troops.
    4
  8705. They use the replica for demonstrations and hands-on events that could damage it.
    4
  8706. I filmed this pre-covid.
    4
  8707. If we can get our hands on one, we will definitely do a video on it.
    4
  8708. With shooting. Yes.
    4
  8709. Yup, that's it.
    4
  8710. There is no noticeable gas in the face from these
    4
  8711. No, 6.
    4
  8712. The first time, it was because one of the cartridges was crimped badly, and didn't want to fir in the cylinder. The second time, it was because I had initially put 11 rounds in my pocket instead of 12. :)
    4
  8713. It is coming later.
    4
  8714. Thanks!
    4
  8715. I don't own it, but I had the chance to shoot a .308 EM2 while in Europe. I'll be posting that video at some point on Forgotten Weapons. The .280 cartridge was, like the .276 Pedersen, quite similar to the "new" 6.8 SPC.
    4
  8716. I whacked it against the scope base of an EM2 rifle (worse than M1 thumb, better than Ljungman thumb). It should be back to normal in a couple more weeks.

  8718. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9e3UCcU00TRIeypXC53S8r81DZRvoXmu
    4
  8719. I had a limited amount of time there, and spent most of it on experimental pistols - didn't have a chance to get into any of the big-game rifles. Sorry!
    4
  8720. We don't own this ourselves; we saw it in a collection we visited.
    4
  8721. Sorry, the smoking jacket is a custom piece my mother made for me.
    4
  8722. No, it is long expired.
    4
  8723. Lots of people say that, but it's simply not true.
    4
  8724. This video is 7 years old. I have learned a lot about production in that time.
    4
  8725. Actually, the Bren is pretty efficient to manufacture. If you want to see too much machining, check out a Fiat-Revelli.
    4
  8726. It was totally up to my standards when I posted it in 2011. :)
    4
  8727. Normally when people ask questions like this I can't answer, because I can't usually predict when I will get my hands on a particular gun. But I actually own a Vickers myself, and have been planning to make a video on it for a while. I should have it done within the next 2 months (even though I own it, it's still a bit of a hassle to drag all its accoutrements out to the range).,.
    4
  8728. Care to share a source for that claim?
    4
  8729. Yes, it is.
    4
  8730. Blowback actions actually do necessarily have to have extractors.
    4
  8731. +Alexander Marinin Sorry, I was thinking of the MG42 assault drum. The double drum for the 34 and 15 was a very complex unit, and (predictably) only intended for aerial use, where space was at a premium and the drums weren't liable to get dirty and stop working.
    4
  8732. +Alexander Marinin The MG34 "drum" was actually just a can to hold a short belt of ammo - like the RPD's "drum". It had no internal mechanism, and was just a containment device to keep the belt from flopping around and getting dirty.
    4
  8733. I think the biggest reason is that it took a long time for people to realize that the Madsen was a good design. The whole tactical use of a "light machine gun" was new (aside from some experiences in the Russo-Japanese War that most people ignored).
    4
  8734. The Monitor has some of the FN-D improvements, but not all of them. The Monitor has a pistol grip, but uses the same receiver as the M1918 and has the same disassembly procedure. The FN-D has a simpler receiver and the guts can all come out the back (much easier to disassemble than the M1918 and Monitor) and it has a quick-change barrel.
    4
  8735. +Raymond Gill If the video title and the big red disclaimer at the beginning didn't provide ample warning, I don't know what more I can do. :)
    4
  8736. DWM.
    4
  8737. To clarify, the guns were purchased from a dealer in Hamburg, but shipped from Kiel into the Baltic. Why they did not take a shorter route into the North Sea I don't know.
    4
  8738. No. The malfunctions here are the result of old and over-used clips, not deliberate design.
    4
  8739. The F1 actually works fine with brass cased ammo, but the French Army chose to use steel.
    4
  8740. How did you find that security footage?!
    4
  8741. When I can, I will!
    4
  8742. Ack, sorry! Just added it.
    4
  8743. I was in a big open room, and trying to avoid echo. It worked, but at the cost of sounding oddly quiet. :)
    4
  8744. Yes, it does.
    4
  8745. That's because they fixed the problem in 1938.
    4
  8746. Yes, precisely.
    4
  8747. The Sanna-77 is the sa23 copy.
    4
  8748. I practiced, and got a lot more comfortable with the system.
    4
  8749. I did the Ljungman video before I was really comfortable with the system. Now that I know it better, I'm much more confident with it.
    4
  8750. That is correct.
    4
  8751. Yup.
    4
  8752. Heh - no, not forgotten at all. But I figured a few folks might enjoy seeing the video. :)
    4
  8753. Yeah, I was a but nervous.
    4
  8754. KainzMusic For one thing, it should have a larger extractor. You will see why when my next video publishes on Thursday. :)
    4
  8755. Hand Cannons of Imperial Japan, by Harry Derby.
    4
  8756. First one will be up later today.
    4
  8757. Yep, just fired it up this afternoon: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/forgotten-weapons-pro-quality-video
    4
  8758. Yes, it would.
    4
  8759. Yes, on all counts. Manufrance (the retail arm of St Etienne) was a commercial reseller of Lugers and C96 Mausers too.
    4
  8760. The owner did not want the serial number shown. I don't think it's a big deal, but I am happy to accommodate the owner's wishes on something like that.
    4
  8761. Me? The 1907 Carbine.
    4
  8762. That was an upgrade compared to this earlier pattern.
    4
  8763. When I can find access to one I definitely will.
    4
  8764. That was an improvement introduced after this particular one was made.
    4
  8765. There is no way to pronounce "Deiudonné Saive" in American. :)
    4
  8766. Changing magazines is much faster and easier than using stripper clips.
    4
  8767. Thanks! The 9mm conversion was just a barrel swap, nothing more.
    4
  8768. You can load individual rounds, but it's a bit clumsy.
    4
  8769. Yes, it can. In fact, it may need to, considering the reliability problems in many of the new production mags that came into the country with them...
    4
  8770. We plan to do both, although it will be several months at least. Too much other stuff going on...
    4
  8771. Yes, with the pieces of gun and cartridge going everywhere... :)
    4
  8772. Correct.
    4
  8773. I didn't know what else to call it, and I wanted to try to get it to appear in searches for people who have seen the GSA catalog.
    4
  8774. I shoot today with ammo I bought last year.
    4
  8775. Yes, it was required by the event rules. However, of all the complaints people bring up, the idea that a mask restricts oxygen and is thus bad is perhaps the least rational: https://www.livescience.com/32750-why-do-athletes-train-at-high-altitudes.html
    4
  8776. In Arizona, it's hot and dry enough right now that we don't have condensation problems like that.
    4
  8777. I am shooting in the Classic division, which allows only guns prior to 1946. So there are only a few semi autos available, and the FG42 is competitive with any of them.
    4
  8778. Yes, Keith was a Mason.
    4
  8779. Tony King I explain this in some detail in the video...
    3
  8780. Tony King It's pronounced "Gair-end"; rhymes with "hair-end".
    3
  8781. No, this is my Vickers.
    3
  8782. Oil cooking off the barrel surface.
    3
  8783. Longer sustained fire capacity.
    3
  8784. The .300 Blk is actually very similar to 8mm Kurz ballistically. The 8.6 uses a bullet 2-3 times heavier.

  8786. Electronic copies yes, not physical ones so much.
    3
  8787. +joey243win I would start with the link in the description text...
    3
  8788. There are a ton of books published on German small arms...
    3
  8789. The first generation SMGs were expensive - milled and finely finished (MP18I and II, Thompson, Lanchester, early Berettas, etc). By the time WWII rolled around, people realized that they could be made much cheaper and still fulfill the job requirements just fine. That led to the second generation of guns, which were stamped and cheap, like the Sten, M3, MP40, and others. I'll do a Suomi m/31 video when I can, but I need to get my hands on one first. There are lots of the semiautos out there, but not a lot of live machine guns.
    3
  8790. +possum66669 I have actually been looking for one to buy for my own collection. :)
    3
  8791. https://youtu.be/-xvCNEUnT4Y

  8792. No, that's why we included the T24. ;)
    3
  8793. Follow me for more clever tips and tricks!
    3
  8794. Having carried both around for the photography, I can assure you that the M2HB is bigger than the bazooka.
    3
  8795. Yes.

    3
  8797. You can remove the thumb safety, but fixing the hole in the frame is trickier.
    3
  8798. When I find one I will.
    3
  8799. Yes, they must be visible on the outside.
    3
  8800. You are welcome to join, but it will be more expensive than necessary for a local. It's a flat package fee, without a way to separate out things like lodging.

  8804. Shaved cylinder Webleys have basically no collector value - sorry.
    3
  8805. Nope, I'm a pretty terrible gunsmith.
    3
  8806. Didn't have time on this trip, but I will at some point!
    3
  8807. Disassembly gripping surfaces.
    3
  8808. Next week is roller-delay.
    3
  8809. That is beer; it works differently.
    3
  8810. Sorry - we threw that extraneous "i" into the harbor with the tea.
    3
  8811. Yes, although the Breton is not semiauto.
    3
  8812. Here's the first one that a simple search brought up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fipdn9_l-U
    3
  8813. No, they were not at Stalingrad.
    3
  8814. No, you would need to call or email - they don't have an automated bidding system.
    3
  8815. adaw2d3222 Here, tell me if this one works for you: http://youtu.be/ntBvrU8V6Wo
    3
  8816. Aside from language skills, the copying done here was no different from what was being done constantly in Spain and Belgium a few decades earlier.
    3
  8817. It's Q as in the head gadget-maker for James Bond.
    3
  8818. They sold out. We are restocking, but it will be a little while before the second batch is available.
    3
  8819. Yes, it does!
    3
  8820. I'm a Bond supporting character; it's Tintin where I'm a villain.
    3
  8821. Thanks!
    3
  8822. Nope. The rifle's owner has passed away, and we no longer have access to it.
    3
  8823. It's answered in this book ;)
    3
  8824. This particular one is in .30-40; the Army trials gun appears to have been in a proprietary cartridge.
    3
  8825. Numrich
    3
  8826. That's the present-day non-NFA type. They are crap.
    3
  8827. Simple answer is no, it could not be.
    3
  8828. InRange is demonetized, Forgotten Weapons is not (and never has been).
    3
  8829. British doctrine was to carry the rifles with 5 rounds loaded and an empty chamber. When you see him loading a single clip, he is topping the mag up to a full 10.
    3
  8830. Good luck!
    3
  8831. https://youtu.be/1f47ztPx01k
    3
  8832. Yeah, Spanish is probably one of the hardest languages to find good technical firearms books in.
    3
  8833. Sorry, it's live now.
    3
  8834. Yes, which is why there is a text overlay saying I meant telegraph lines...
    3
  8835. They had the Lebel, which held 8 rounds.
    3
  8836. Yes, the Mauser 1878.

    3
  8839. Fiocchi and PPU both make it.
    3
  8840. I'm working on it, but it will take time (and many consignors will not be willing to have their guns shot prior to auction).
    3
  8841. zendell37 Correct.
    3
  8842. I have no control over what ads are run.
    3
  8843. True - black-powder cartridge guns were only really popular from about 1860 to 1890. Other ones to look for include the Gras, Mauser 71/84, Trapdoor Springfield, and Snider-Enfield, to name a few.
    3
  8844. Track suits.

    3
  8848. Already on it :)
    3
  8849. I think the closed emitter design is a big improvement for places where the pistol might get dirty. It's basically impossible to wipe mud out of an open-emitter red dot.
    3
  8850. +The Laughing Hyenas Yep, I meant 9x20. Sorry! That said, there are some simple blowback 9x19 pistols out there, like the Astra 600.
    3
  8851. That is correct. I have one of the short videos coming in a few weeks on the AR system.
    3
  8852. You will see on Monday the 27th. :)
    3
  8853. It's my second-rarest MAS 49/56 variant...
    3
  8854. I deliberately don't make an effort in these videos to list out every example of a given system.
    3
  8855. Yes.
    3
  8856. No, because of the way the parts are nested any residual gas goes forward.
    3
  8857. Videos on the 60 and 70 series guns are coming...this is an 8-part series.
    3
  8858. It will come.
    3
  8859. Yes.
    3
  8860. I am thinking, of late, that PDW is a definition based on role, where SMG is based on the mechanical design of the gun. So PDWs would include the M1 Carbine and the vz61 Skorpion and the MP-7, without changing the fact that the MP-7 is also an SMG and the M1 Carbine is also a rifle.
    3
  8861. I did, actually.
    3
  8862. Yes, there are a few out there that fire from the bottom chamber. It's not more common because you need space for the hammer to work in, and that's tricky on a bottom-firing design.
    3
  8863. I use the flag from the time and place where the gun was developed or introduced.
    3
  8864. Steel.
    3
  8865. Yes, I have a degree from Purdue.
    3
  8866. An AR-10.
    3
  8867. Madsen M50 and HAC-7.
    3
  8868. +Kyle Richards I am left-eye and left-hand dominant. I do practice shooting right handed, though, and am marginally competent that way.
    3
  8869. Yeah, I should have phrased that differently. I meant in terms of military procurement.
    3
  8870. We like it. It gives the rifle almost a bullpup-like balance, and also allows right-handers to change mags without having to rotate the rifle like an AR. We discuss this and more here: https://www.full30.com/video/cbd7a17a8918455ec9bc00fa2cfb09fa
    3
  8871. This is one never was a normal reproduction - SMG built it in this configuration out of leftover parts.
    3
  8872. It would be interesting to see if shortening the barrel more would start to impact reliability...and if the flash would literally blind you. :)
    3
  8873. It's not as fast as a righty, but not bad.
    3
  8874. Full auto is much more expensive in the US than in most of Europe, because we have a limited supply of the guns but anyone can own them.
    3
  8875. What Classic is selling are rifles using converted Garand forgings and surplus BM59 kits. I have one, and the quality is not on par with original Beretta guns, unfortunately. OTOH, they are a lot less expensive that real Berettas.
    3
  8876. I agree.
    3
  8877. Better than most people think, but yeah - not as good as most other countries'.
    3
  8878. No, but both the Japanese machine guns originated as Hotchkiss designs, like the Benet-Mercie.
    3
  8879. Yes.

  8880. I do have a polo now available in the Forgotten Weapon shop: https://shop.bbtv.com/collections/forgotten-weapons/products/logo-polo-shirt-2

    3
  8884. No, it was supersonic. For one round here and there, I'm okay with that - and with the muzzle outside the blind like the situation here, it was much quieter for me than it would be just shooting at the range.
    3
  8885. You don't need any paperwork to take a suppressor over state lines. Some other NFA items, but not suppressors.
    3
  8886. Good, at least I'm not the only one.
    3
  8887. There is no tube. It's a folded stamping.
    3
  8888. Just out of random curiosity, what experience is your judgement based on?
    3
  8889. The FG42 is a poor light machine gun, and is only suitable for specialty roles where a proper LMG isn't an option.
    3
  8890. Also a good contender.

    3
  8894. Science has proven this.
    3
  8895. Yes, it have a section covering some of the early self-loading rifle designs, including Luger's (and Hugo Borchardt's!). It's not a ton of information, but more than I have been able to find anywhere else.
    3
  8896. Any one-sentence summation of a Spanish civil war is naturally going to be woefully incomplete.
    3
  8897. Yes, but I don't have all the targets accessible right now.
    3
  8898. I will once I figure out how to get the broken sling winder out and install a new one that works.

  8899. A German viewer wrote German translations, which are selected by default for you because you are in Germany.

  8901. +Walt Lars Nope, not yet.
    3
  8902. +Mr44special The point is not to make the courses of fire simulate some type of actual combat, the point is to physically stress the shooter while requiring challenging shooting problems.

  8903. That is the bolt handle.
    3
  8904. I know; just a slip of the tongue.
    3
  8905. When the war is over...
    3
  8906. No, that's an old myth that is not true.
    3
  8907. With my pronunciation, it would probably come out as some terrible insult.
    3
  8908. The Auto-5 works this way, but not many other shotguns.
    3
  8909. They were made in .380 and 7.65mm Frommer (which is largely interchangeable with .32 ACP). The one in this video is in 7.65mm.
    3
  8910. They are quite reliable, as long as you use appropriate ammo. They sometimes have a rep for not working today because people use .32ACP in them, which is underpowered compared to the original .765mm Frommer ammo.
    3
  8911. Coyote, I think.
    3
  8912. Because it became illegal to register a new one in 1986. So an ever-increasing number of people are chasing a fixed (actually slowly decreasing, through inevitable wear) supply.
    3
  8913. We will ship to Europe, although hopefully we will find a distributor to partner with in Europe to save on shipping costs.

    3
  8923. No, just semi.
    3
  8924. No, the Hotchkiss is air cooled.
    3
  8925. That's not a tube, it's the tightening screw to keep the flash hider on the gun.
    3
  8926. That is happening because I have an undersized bolt connecting the elevation leg of the tripod to the gun. With a properly fitted original pin, that movement wouldn't happen.
    3
  8927. Once the gun is running reliably I will.
    3
  8928. Correct. And we are working on the most recent ordering.

  8949. Yep, sooner or later I will be.
    3
  8950. Well, they did put me in the end credits...
    3
  8951. GunBroker is always a good place to watch. You won't find a straight 1886; they were effectively all converted to the /93 configuration.
    3
  8952. It is.
    3
  8953. I do not know of any surviving technical drawings for the Huot.
    3
  8954. There are lots of places that have built Galils on original parts kits, because we imported tons of the kits. No reason to make them from scratch.
    3
  8955. No, it's doesn't have an edge. It's just a spike (and PSA ships them a bit rounded at the tip anyway)

    3
  8960. It's at the end of the video.
    3
  8961. It was too loud and concussive
    3
  8962. Clips for any 7mm Mauser will work, and 8mm ones would probably be fine too. Numrich and Liberty Tree both have them.
    3
  8963. Probably not. The buttplate is pretty hard and brittle.
    3
  8964. I did.
    3
  8965. Nope.
    3
  8966. I wish we had a better option, but that's what it costs us. Our books are heavy, and we package them well to ensure they arrive undamaged. That makes for expensive transatlantic shipping. We can ship up to six books for the same basic rate though, so the best I can suggest is to find a friend or colleague to order with, and split the shipping.
    3

    3
  8973. +markknife1 That sold in 2011, so no...
    3
  8974. +Kyle Clark Normally a smoothbore handgun would be considered an AOW, but the original Liberators have been specifically exempted.
    3
  8975. 9.4mm Dutch Revolver.
    3
  8976. Not the Federov, the French RSC.
    3
  8977. I had the same thought, but I decided it was probably the same Webley seen a few seconds later. That said, I have no doubt the Webley-Fosbery will be in the game.
    3
  8978. Given the number of self loading arms already in the game, a time traveller with a crate of AKs and M16s wouldn't make any difference.
    3
  8979. Yes, it is - it was made in 1891 and is all matching, down to the clearing rod ever. It is not, however, the cuirassier's carbine with the leather buttplate and different stock shape.
    3
  8980. They did not show a Madsen, but it will be in the game.
    3
  8981. I work alone most of the time.
    3
  8982. La bandera es del año de la ametralladora.
    3
  8983. There is such a huge supply of traditional shotguns and ammo out there that introducing one with proprietary ammo would be market suicide.
    3
  8984. That is my Terrible Krinkov: https://youtu.be/JT1cNraZjp0
    3
  8985. For rimmed rounds, that is how it is measured.
    3
  8986. You install the trunnion in the receiver, then pre the barrel in and check headspace. Adjust the barrel in or out as necessary until the headspace is good and then drill the hole for the barrel pin and pin it in place. On older kits with original barrels, you will usually find that lining the barrel up with the existing barrel pin hole location results in good headspace (in my experience, anyway).
    3
  8987. They should be interchangeable - but you should check. Especially with low-cost parts.
    3
  8988. I was trying!
    3
  8989. Finnish M05
    3
  8990. I appreciate the thought, but you should definitely not mail guns to internet strangers, particularly without your parents' okay. :) To find some more info, a good place to start would be the forums at Gunboards. Do a search there for "Erma Luger" or the like, and you'll find a fair bit. If I come across one, I'll do a video on it; they are an interesting piece of history.
    3
  8991. Sure - I did a review on his book "The Great Rifle Controversy", and I've read through his M16 books.
    3
  8992. I have that one filmed, but not published yet.
    3
  8993. Varusteleka.com
    3
  8994. It will be on the InRange channel.
    3
  8995. The cyclic rate is very close to a 1928 or 1921.
    3
  8996. Extremely unlikely to happen because of the recoil from firing.
    3
  8997. I suppose?
    3
  8998. Probably the single biggest reason is to allow training on ranges that could not handle full power cartridges. Much easier to run a .22 range in a basement of a barracks or in a neighborhood than full size guns.
    3
  8999. The advantage is that it is the safest system, because pressure drops the most before the breech opens. Early in semiauto rifle development, this was a valuable benefit.
    3
  9000. Absolutely the RSC-1918.
    3
  9001. Yes.
    3
  9002. One-off custom gunsmithing project by someone.
    3
  9003. Yes, Elbonia is often confused with Robonia.
    3
  9004. Yes, that video is filmed but not yet posted.
    3
  9005. Technically speaking, one element is not more or less heavy than another, it is more or less dense than another. I added a note about my slip of the tongue on that a year or two ago in the description; tungsten is denser than steel. As fort he Boys projectiles, the tungsten cored one was lighter than the steel cored ones, because it deliberately used less tungsten in order to achieve a higher velocity.
    3
  9006. The most likely explanation is a deceptive seller trying to get someone to pay more for it.
    3
  9007. +vasili_zajtsev Yes.
    3
  9008. +MrAdiqman1 Yep.
    3
  9009. +VeryUnfriendlySpoon No, unless the connecting rod breaks.
    3
  9010. It is a drawing of a Suomi, a Lahti pistol, and a Finnish ensign, given to me by a fan at the Helsinki meet up.
    3
  9011. They made a modernized polymer version called the AR-180B for a while, but I believe that is also out of production now.
    3
  9012. When we realized we were both working on the same gun, we decided to coordinate the release. :)

  9015. Yes, barrel length and stock configuration.
    3
  9016. For all that stuff, see my previous video on the Winchester 1895.
    3
  9017. The RPD came before the RP46, and it was a separate line of squad automatic weapon.
    3
  9018. Bible nomenclature? I have no idea what you are talking about. As for Nic and Jonathan, you need to learn to differentiate between acknowledging legal reality and supporting it. I can assure you that neither of them supports gun control measures.
    3
  9019. Not only possible, but it was actively done. They were called Blakeslee loaders, and were basically tubes holding 7 cartridges that could be quickly dumped into the magazine. Versions were made and issued in over-the-shoulder boxes holding between 6 and 10 such tubes.
    3
  9020. It's a cleaning rod. Black powder leaves a lot more residue in the bore than smokeless does, and it's more important to clean the bore frequently.
    3
  9021. David M. Yep.
    3
  9022. Bart Hoving They do have steam vents, with a sliding shutoff so they don't drain water when pointed up or down.

    3
  9040. I came in 3rd of 33.
    3
  9041. You are not considering air resistance. The smaller bullet loses less velocity pushing through the air, and thus drops less over a given distance because it travels faster.
    3
  9042. It was originally a Hotchkiss factory building, located at 134 rue de Paris.
    3
  9043. +David M. This is blowback; the Tokarev uses a tilting barrel locking system. This and the 1911 were both designed by Browning, though, and the Tokarev is based on the 1911.

    3
  9052. Easy decision; blue was a Kickstarter exclusive option. Only red is available now.
    3
  9053. As a general rule, they are all functional. Read the descriptions if you are considering bidding, though, as that will cover the details of each item including any parts that may be missing or broken.
    3
  9054. Yep, that's what this carbine is chambered for.
    3
  9055. It's not really a decocking lever, but you can pull the trigger and hold the lever back to slowly drop the hammer. I don't have video footage on the Mars, but I did lay hands on one and have a bunch of good photos. I'll be writing an article on it for the blog before too much longer.
    3
  9056. The key to Elbonian tank design is to have lots of turrets so they can engage multiple targets in different directions simultaneously. Also track tension that can only be adjusted at the factory.

    3
  9061. Nope, it is not available in the civilian market. The SAR-21 is really really rare here; there are only a few in the country at all. I would probably rate the F2000 as the best of the military bullpups, followed by the SAR-21, the Tavor, and the AUG. I don't have much experience with them, though.

    3
  9073. Not that I am aware of.
    3
  9074. I would recommend not doing those things.
    3
  9075. Those are birds' nests.
    3
  9076. I definitely do collect it up. A lot of the Lebel ammo in Project Lightning was reloaded from my spend brass. :)
    3
  9077. 8mm Lebel.
    3
  9078. Probably a bit better, yeah.
    3
  9079. No, bird nests.
    3
  9080. Those are actually holes from nesting birds, not bullets.
    3
  9081. Problem is, it's largely false. Parts are indeed interchangeable, and the guns were not hated by the AEF. They did have problems, but also tremendous utility for delivering a lot of firepower in a very mobile package.
    3
  9082. Mechanically, yes. The occasional feed and ejection issues the 8mm one has don't happen in the .30 cal one. The .30 is harder to shoot, though.
    3
  9083. Sort of...the sights are very difficult to use left-handed.
    3
  9084. No gun welds are ever suitably pretty looking.
    3
  9085. +TheCarablanco No, it's a different round. It was a short-lived proprietary Mauser cartridge.
    3
  9086. +Hiram Abiff No, but the Bergmann 1910 uses that same basic layout. They operate completely differently though.
    3
  9087. The StG series (including this MKb-42) is very simple to disassemble. You pull the buttstock pin, and the stock and mainspring come out, followed by all the internals. And with the stock removed, the grip frame swings down on its front pivot point.
    3
  9088. It does use a double stack magazine.

  9099. Nah, that's the best way to do it in a match. People get focused on their shooting, and you often have to be loud and direct to get their attention. Also, typically not following the stage rules means a penalty per shot fired in the wring position, and so it's best to get the shooter corrected quickly.
    3
  9100. I didn't end up last because I got a pretty decent score on the last stage.
    3
  9101. I will absolutely do a video on when when I am able to find one...
    3
  9102. They did make a version in 7.62 NATO (I've fired a few rounds through it...). But Churchill really liked the FAL and disliked the EM2.
    3
  9103. My goal is to be able to record audio underwater, and the full face mask allows me to speak while diving. I don't have the recording equipment et up yet, though.
    3
  9104. +MrDposter Potentially.
    3
  9105. The majority of inter-war SMGs did not have bayonets, but a handful did - it wasn't unique to Steyr.
    3
  9106. geothr33 We didn't know this gun would be at the range, and didn't bring the main camera gear that day - just the high speed equpiment. So we filmed this with an iPhone; hence the sound issues.
    3
  9107. The same reasons people serialized most guns before it was legally required. Production control, quality tracking, etc.
    3
  9108. Later this week.
    3
  9109. Legally no, but for business liability sake they decided it was important.
    3
  9110. Saturday.
    3
  9111. When it's available for sale, yes.
    3
  9112. No.
    3
  9113. It's in a museum and not for sale.
    3
  9114. Nope. I got to handle it in Liege a few years ago, but they wouldn't let me take photos or video.
    3
  9115. The FG was designed specifically to be a weapon that could be jumped with, because separate weapons cannisters were a terrible idea.
    3
  9116. Yup, it is.
    3
  9117. That problem on Crete was a catalyst for the development of the FG, to provide a weapon that could serve as a light machine gun and be jumped with.
    3
  9118. No, that was a different enterprise. These folks don't take prepayment.
    3
  9119. Only that round where the camera frame rate happened to catch the flash.
    3
  9120. No, it has a standard chamber.
    3
  9121. The FG was designed to prevent the need for weapons containers. They revised the parachute along with the rifle, but never actually did any combat jumps with them - just glider-borne insertions.
    3
  9122. The FG was designed specifically to be a weapon that could be jumped with, because separate weapons cannisters were a terrible idea.
    3
  9123. Hence the whole point of developing the FG42; to provide a rifle/LMG that could be jumped with.
    3
  9124. Yeah, it's a terrible web site. Don't worry about it.
    3
  9125. The FG was designed specifically to be a weapon that could be jumped with, because separate weapons cannisters were a terrible idea.
    3
  9126. +jumpfinder Not that I am aware of...
    3
  9127. Patented by James T. Kirk, I believe.
    3
  9128. WWSD, no question.
    3
  9129. +104jones Yup, I am planning to do them next week. :)
    3
  9130. A model of a Chinese QBZ-95 that a fan gave me.
    3
  9131. No, because the plate fell only after the round had been deflected. It was the bullet fragments that destroyed the supports, thus allowing the plate to fall.
    3
  9132. Didn't want to abuse my shoulder.
    3
  9133. No, because it was only after the bullet was deflected that its fragments hit the wooden supports.

    3
  9136. Slightly larger.
    3
  9137. Using spheres would sacrifice a ton of projectile mass.
    3
  9138. The battery does not actually fire the coils; the capacitor does. Changing the battery voltage would no more change the velocity than increasing the size of the gas tank would make a car go faster.
    3
  9139. They really aren't comparable, because Tokarev doesn't give you the capacity advantage that 30SC does.
    3
  9140. No need; Starline has been making 7.65 French brass for a couple years now.
    3
  9141. Well, probably because the US did actually test the .45 Luger, and it was a close second place to the Colt/Browning.

  9144. Merci! C'est un mitrailleur avec beaucoup de problèmes mais j'adore quand même.
    3
  9145. Yes
    3
  9146. I explained this in detail in the video I posted for Patrons last week. I will continue to post everything to Patreon as long as YouTube allows it. But some content, like hand loading, cannot be put on YouTube even as unlisted and demonetized videos - so that sort of thing will by necessity be exclusive to the app.
    3
  9147. You can continue to watch for free at Playeur/Utreon.
    3
  9148. They have an open invitation to join us at any time.
    3
  9149. I don't know the exact details, but yes, British .303 ammo had some pretty serious QC issues. The Ross wasn't as tolerant of that as the SMLE, and it resulting in problems.
    3
  9150. +Keith Vandal Thanks!
    3
  9151. Because YouTube has tremendous presence and some really excellent technology. Their tagging and search functionality is amazing. Their streaming infrastructure is amazing. We don't want to destroy YouTube; we want it to be a more honest partner.
    3
  9152. The name for the actual program is "YouTube Partner Program".
    3
  9153. It is not.
    3
  9154. If you have a better idea, I'm all ears.
    3
  9155. One of the biggest misconception is that this is about YouTube/Google begin leftist. This issue is bigger than that, and it impacts channels across the entire political spectrum.

  9161. Different variation of the same basic model.
    3
  9162. The M1917 was a development of the P14, built after we got all the kinks worked out making rifles for the UK. :)
    3

    3
  9164. I'm sure there was something along those lines, but I don't know of any examples.

    3
  9168. Hey, I'm not stopping you. Just explaining what the legal process is for the people who want to know.
    3
  9169. No, machine guns are regulated by NFA regardless of their C&R status.
    3
  9170. +Lucas Hagg No, this has a normal magazine spring curved into a horseshoe shape. The Johnson has a follower that rotates around a central axis.
    3
  9171. Neat!
    3
  9172. Scope is detachable.
    3
  9173. It's in a private collection.

  9187. What company imported it?
    3
  9188. ...except that there is no manual safety on the Alien. It just has the trigger lever, and that's not sufficient for this sort of abuse. So the chambered stayed empty. I'm not about to let the thing shoot me in revenge. :)

    3
  9192. My friend Christine and I have a routine where we buy gasoline, eat saltines, and get vaccines.
    3

    3
  9196. I'd love to, but there are very few around, and I don't know of one available to me.

  9202. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that "Treuille de Beaulieu" is a secret code designed to be unpronounceable by the English.
    3
  9203. In at least some countries (like France), the spare barrel assemblies count as firearms as well, so you don't get any benefit there.
    3
  9204. +quarktron Yeah...it kicks way more than it should, and is really not fun to shoot.
    3
  9205. +Orlando Medeiros No, but we didn't do very much shooting with it.
    3
  9206. mark bennett I tried paying for my groceries with my passion, and for some reason the wanted money instead. Can you believe that? Also, did you hear the part about how all of these videos are still available for free at Full30?
    3
  9207. Seth Rosen Um, ok. I suppose that is always an option. Pity you'll be missing the upcoming videos on the .276 Pedersen and the full-auto AR10. And us snapping a polymer AR lower in half. And the 4-day rifle class with Gabe Suarez. But I'm sure your principle of refusing to be offered a way to not pay for something is worth it.
    3
  9208. Adrian Noble Did you actually watch the video? Like the part where we say that this is simply an additional option for people who hate ads?
    3
  9209. TestECull You could always just go watch for free on Full30...

  9214. PAT APD FOR - Patent applied for.
    3
  9215. No idea, offhand.
    3
  9216. VN Dustoff PPU makes it, and a bunch of online stores stock it.
    3
  9217. Absolutely. As soon as I get one of the production guns, it'll be going through a 2-gun match. Karl and I will both shoot it, and the match will be themed on the defense of Berlin. :)
    3
  9218. Yes, it was - but only experimental.
    3
  9219. Sounds like you should look for a new job.
    3
  9220. Nah...other than a few bullpups, I have never been bothered by right-side ejection.
    3
  9221. This one isn't transferable; it's a dealer sample. I don't believe there are any transferable PKMs, as they were adopted in 1969. That's a year after the GCA stopped importation of new machine guns.
    3
  9222. Actually, the belt-fed LMG (the RPD) was replaced fairly quickly with the RPK. And yes, the PKM really is mechanically almost identical to the AK.
    3
  9223. What sort of monster would put a dikdik in a vise?

    3
  9232. Thank you for your helpful and productive comment.
    3
  9233. Yes, of course.
    3
  9234. The only one that is comparable is the NRA museum in Fairfax.
    3
  9235. They don't even make good stuff, at least not concerning firearms.
    3
  9236. That's a Winchester Light Rifle, a competitor to the AR-15.
    3
  9237. Yeah, I used the wrong title screen at the end. Oops.
    3
  9238. Well, you will get another 3 weeks of daily videos starting tomorrow.
    3
  9239. The front grip is easy to replace with a proper one. On the pistols they fixed it in place with a screw and took out part of the locking mechanism.
    3
  9240. Revolvers are pistols.
    3
  9241. They're in the queue once this RIA series finishes. They will be spread over 6-8 months.
    3
  9242. Did not anticipate that happening when I set up the camera.... :)
    3
  9243. Thank you!
    3
  9244. Yes, I've seen at least one person do that already.
    3
  9245. "Federal Firearms Licensee" - basically a gun dealer.
    3
  9246. I will cover the 7.62mm version next week. I find the scopes a bit high without a cheek riser, but the eye relief is not an issue for me.
    3
  9247. Shortly before WW1, a batch of Indochina pattern Berthiers was sold to Persia (Iran), and a small batch of M16 Berthier was made for Serbia in 1925.
    3
  9248. Yeah - I had rifle grenades on the mind for some reason.
    3
  9249. Yes.
    3
  9250. +4192362 Thanks - I'm on it.
    3
  9251. In a British context it does; in this case it is an abbreviation of "Modele".
    3
  9252. No, it used the Gras bayonet. "Rosalie" was the Lebel bayonet, and wasn't designed until 1886.
    3
  9253. Yes, this was flat-nosed, unjacketed lead 11mm ammo.
    3
  9254. To paraphrase another author, the best way to fix all the M60's issues is to remove the front site, and put it on an MG42/MG3 or a PKM. A stronger receiver would help (a milled receiver would be impractical, and not necessary), although it would make the gun heavier.
    3
  9255. The M60 is based on the Lewis Gun, via the FG-42. The only part derived from the MG-42 is the top cover, which has nothing to do with the rate of fire.
    3
  9256. ***** The Stinger was made from an ANM2 because it had a much higher rate of fire than a 1919.
    3
  9257. Yes, and it's a heat sink. Here's my full video on the ZH-29: https://youtu.be/JvI92kOwV4U
    3
  9258. The M1A1 Carbine was developed specifically for paratroopers, along with a takedown Bazooka.
    3
  9259. They are all in 7.5mm.
    3
  9260. The first ones should be arriving this week.
    3
  9261. They haven't been released quite yet - this one is the prototype :)
    3
  9262. +ilzen ver'khaan I am in the process of building one very, very long one. Every new video I post is a short chapter in it. :)
    3
  9263. Correct - they did update early rifles later on and di not give them a new designation.
    3
  9264. That’s most of this channel…
    3
  9265. Actually, repro 1860 Army revolvers are quite affordable.
    3
  9266. 82x50R or 8x50R?
    3
  9267. The magazines themselves are actually fairly common.
    3
  9268. The belt fed machine gun was the Browning M1917/M1919. The BAR was not intended to be a base of fire.
    3
  9269. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hj1G7BqCoCA
    3
  9270. I discuss this in the video.
    3
  9271. I would not use Turkish ammo in any self-loading firearm.
    3
  9272. mytmousemalibu It's the same as the Lahti, but significantly different from US 20mm Vulcan (which is 20x102; this is 20x138, with a belted and rebated rim).
    3
  9273. Only explosive ammunition requires NFA registration. Solid projectiles are legally no different than any typical rifle ammo.
    3
  9274. My understanding is that they worked pretty well if you could get the projectile through the tank's armor. As the video mentions, armor shards created by the bullet will also wreak havoc. Tanks are so confined inside that any hit to the crew area is almost certain to incapacitate someone.
    3
  9275. As I mentioned in the video description, I uploaded this because I got a nice high-quality version.
    3
  9276. Yep. Part of that was the much greater availability of .50BMG compared to .55 Boys. The other major reason was that in .55 the rifle is legally a Destructive Device requiring NFA registration. In .50 BMG, it it's just another rifle as far as the law is concerned.
    3
  9277. Yep, tomorrow.
    3
  9278. That .45 was shipped to France in 1915, so yeah :)
    3
  9279. Patents on the 1911 all expired long before WW2.
    3
  9280. Depends on the range - the facility we were at the year didn't allow cartridges larger than 5.56/7.62x39
    3
  9281. Definitely not. Wait until Othais covers them, and you'll understand why.
    3
  9282. I did; it's available to $3 Patrons.
    3
  9283. Nightwish.
    3
  9284. No, original artillery Lugers and stocks are exempt from the NFA. So are a number of other early stocked pistols.
    3
  9285. I post them on Instagram each month. Talked to the 03A4 recipient in person when I called his FFL.
    3
  9286. Next Saturday. I took it to a USPSA match...
    3
  9287. No, they don't. Original artillery Lugers and stocks are exempt from the NFA.
    3
  9288. It a term based on intended use. A rifle issued to paratroops is a paratroop rifle. One for snipers is a sniper rifle. This is the same thing, it just happens to translate from German into a term that politicians latched onto in an erroneous manner. I don't think it's appropriate to stop using the term just because they use it incorrectly.
    3
  9289. No, that's just a Century AK with East German furniture on it.
    3
  9290. The AK is 70 years old, the AKM is 60 years old, and the AK74 is 45 years old.
    3
  9291. Nik Mohamed Rashid Nik Zurin It's Karl's VW 181.
    3
  9292. That decision is up to the gun’s owner. He didn’t care for gloves.
    3
  9293. +greg Bilotta You don't notice it when shooting.
    3
  9294. Basically all of them.
    3
  9295. It's in 8x33. PPU (Prvi Partisan) makes ammo still.
    3
  9296. My mother made it for me.
    3
  9297. PPU. I don't recall the price; I bought it about 6 or 7 years ago with the HMG StGs in mind.
    3
  9298. You use the muzzle of the cool barrel to pull the hot one out via the two holes in the trunnion
    3
  9299. We're going to talk to you about doing that next. :)
    3
  9300. About 200 semiauto ones were imported in the 80s. The 89 assault weapon import ban prevents any more from coming in, and the French will not be selling military parts kits.
    3
  9301. Lage Max-11/15
    3
  9302. Lage Max 11/15.
    3
  9303. No, it's the old one from Portugal.
    3
  9304. I believe ATF determined that it could be fired without a lower attached.
    3
  9305. Basically an impossible question to answer. The worst pistols are the ones that were so bad that they never even finished development (look at the Bjorgum video I have). People who ask usually mean the worst issued pistol, but there is a continuum of guns being issued in smaller and smaller numbers as the designs get worse. There isn't really any definitive point where you can pick "worst".
    3
  9306. Let's just call it Perfection, NV. :)
    3
  9307. Tulle.
    3
  9308. No and no. :(
    3
  9309. Yes, there were belt-fed Madsens.
    3
  9310. Madsen made several pretty good guns, including the first self-loading rifle officially adopted by a military force.
    3
  9311. There is always a chance...I don't know of any functional ones I could get access to, but I did own a parts kit for one a while back. There may be some dealer samples floating around somewhere that I can find.
    3
  9312. The web site based Google Translate is not bad, but in my experience the live phone app version is totally worthless.
    3
  9313. +Colten Meyer Gun like this have steam vents. Typically, a hose would be connected to the steam vent and run to a can with some liquid water - that way the steam would recondense rather than for a tall plume pointing to where the machine gun is.
    3
  9314. I have seen different numbers in original manuals, between 400 and 600 rounds/minute.
    3
  9315. farkasmate14 Yeah, the introduction of the .50 caliber machine guns (M2, DShK, German TuF, etc) and also the introduction the modern GPMG (which would be the MG34). Once you have both of those, the term MMG does a good job of encompassing the concept of the permanently-mounted rifle-caliber machine gun.
    3
  9316. The definitions change over time. Today this would be considered a medium gun, but when it was designed it was a heavy one. The reason is that is requires a mount to be fired, and it was typically used for static emplacement. At the time, there was no such things as a medium MG; you had static heavy guns and portable light ones.
    3
  9317. Nobody. It's there to zero the gun initially.
    3
  9318. It's not for changing wind conditions, it's for initially zeroing the gun.
    3
  9319. There was no patent (copyright doesn't apply to a physical product) in effect by the time these were made.
    3
  9320. Indeed they would - but how many one-handed people are looking to buy pistols?
    3
  9321. ivan malpass That's a StG45(M) reproduction.
    3
  9322. +Oliver Karuna Only one thing: Verdun.
    3
  9323. Sure - YouTube allows viewer submitted captions.
    3
  9324. The Browning design is industrial, the Maxim is Victorian.
    3
  9325. There is a valve that closes off the bottom port.
    3
  9326. Yes.
    3
  9327. I don't know, but I will cover it at some point.
    3
  9328. Hellion.
    3
  9329. "Višenamjenska Hrvatska Strojnica"
    3
  9330. No, unless they are really short bullpups. SBR means the barrel is less than 16" or the overall length is less than 26".
    3
  9331. It was cool when it was the French trials model, but lame now that anyone can buy one. xD
    3
  9332. Karl is doing that on InRange in a few days.
    3
  9333. They are a very friendly bunch!
    3
  9334. It was not supposed to go public until next week. It will be back on schedule.
    3
  9335. I accidentally posted it early. It will be back next week.
    3
  9336. It allows you to set up fixed zones of fire, like limiting traverse to stop the gun from shooting into friendly zones (this is especially useful at night). You can also coordinate multiple guns to divvy up a field of fire so each gunner can focus on a specific sector.
    3
  9337. +Joshua O'Bryan Maybe, but definitely not until I can get to Europe, as I believe all the existing ones (there are only one or two) are over there.
    3
  9338. +max margherio Probably; maybe worse. Typical service rifle standard was usually in the area of 3 or 4 MOA at the time (and more recently, too). My sources didn't have specific numbers for this rifle's performance, though.
    3
  9339. +Doiteify Without seeing actual test results, it's hard to say - but from the sounds of it, I think the final iteration of this design could have definitely held its own against the M1 in trials. As for the caliber, yes - I think that a round like 6.5mm Japanese allows better shooting, all else being equal.
    3
  9340. That sounds really cool - my mailing address is Forgotten Weapons, 6281 N. Oracle #36270 Tucson, AZ 85704. Thanks!
    3
  9341. It's titles "The Tommies", showing all the standard British WWII small arms. I've seen it for sale several places, including AA-OK.
    3
  9342. Think of it as camo. :)
    3
  9343. +DeepPastry That makes more sense - thanks!
    3
  9344. +thatguy3428 It's not common at all, but it does happen.
    3
  9345. If I even get my hands on one, yes.
    3
  9346. Standard AK bayonet.
    3
  9347. Yes, and I will have an announcement about that in the next few days.
    3
  9348. Llama did it before Russia, FWIW. https://youtu.be/jx_IK1AJ68Q
    3
  9349. 8 * 1.5 = 12
    3
  9350. Yes, there are some excellent cocktails that use it!
    3
  9351. We are currently expecting January delivery.
    3
  9352. Nope.
    3
  9353. +MrReded69 Because it's interesting to me and something that very few people in my audience will ever have physical access to.
    3
  9354. +bigbear811 Not all warheads are made the same. There's a big difference between Kandahar market Chinese rockets and modern Russian military production.
    3
  9355. This was all live ammunition, not blanks.
    3
  9356. These were Stoner links.
    3
  9357. I've got a 9mm version of the CZ2000 filmed that is much closer to the KGP-9. It will publish in a few weeks.
    3
  9358. It's filmed; don't have a publication date scheduled yet.
    3
  9359. Probably in a Finnish military archive somewhere.
    3
  9360. Sorry, I goofed the editing and that part was left out. The muzzle device just unscrews off the barrel once you press in a locking plunger (like on an AK). Then the gas block can slide off.
    3
  9361. Nothing beyond the abstract concept of time passing.
    3
  9362. What you are describing sounds like an AK siderail scope.
    3
  9363. The PPK is chamber for 9x17, not 9x19.
    3
  9364. Yes, the MKb-42(H) was an open bolt design.
    3
  9365. People who say this have not actually seen the insides of a Suomi.
    3
  9366. Bummer!
    3
  9367. The 1935S is chambered for 7.65 Browning Long. You can find it for sale from time to time, but it's not common - the French only used it in a couple weapons and nobody else adopted it.
    3
  9368. ***** They have a bunch, although at the lower price range you might be better off with one of the regional auctions. Take a look at their catalog and do some browsing to see what interests you...
    3
  9369. ColtCommanderdm Yeah, I think it would be very unlikely for it to come loose unintentionally.
    3
  9370. Same thing.
    3
  9371. Yes, you are correct - I misspoke.
    3
  9372. Sten; the PPSh-41's cost was a part of the reason the PPS-43 replaced it.
    3
  9373. Yes.
    3
  9374. The FG-42 was designed to fix that problem; it wasn't in use when the dropped on Crete.
    3
  9375. No, it wasn't. The first pattern had a longer stock, and during trials they realized it wouldn't fit rifle racks and changed it for that reason.
    3
  9376. It has its own bayonet.
    3
  9377. I don't speak French (yet), but I do speak Gun. When he was talking about things like the Garand and 49/56, I understood a lot of what was being said.
    3
  9378. I did, and it's posted on ForgottenWeapons.com.
    3
  9379. The Welrod is possible (I've fired one, but didn't have a chance to do video of it), and the DeLisle is unlikely. Just not sure where I can get my hands on one.
    3
  9380. They were 180gr.
    3
  9381. Kaihatdiemacht Once the reproductions from GunLab are ready, I will definitely be getting high speed footage of them.
    3
  9382. It's best to let them actually take the things out for you.
    3
  9383. Yup, it was rebarreled in 1917.
    3
  9384. There was a transitional period in which M16 marked receivers were being built as 3-round guns, because the 5-round magazines were not yet available.
    3
  9385. No, not that I am aware of.
    3
  9386. "The Schmeisser Myth" by Martin Helebrant
    3
  9387. Nobody really knows for sure which was issued first.
    3
  9388. New Mexico, outside Albuquerque.
    3
  9389. Matt Haught
    3
  9390. The optic is because aiming is important even with a shotgun (perhaps especially with a shotgun) and you cannot use the fixed sights with this shooting technique.
    3
  9391. Recoil is absorbed by the arm and shoulder; none goes into the head
    3
  9392. The NFA registry (it's called the NFRTR) has existed since 1934. It's been electronic for a long time.
    3
  9393. +Light Weight Yes, centerfire.
    3
  9394. Adam Cooper This repro, probably $15k-$20k.
    3
  9395. I shot a reproduction one on Season 5, Episode 9 of Sons of Guns.
    3
  9396. Karl and I did some shooting with 7.62mm SLAP, and had problems with the sabots not holding together. We only fired 2 or 3 rounds, and I had no desire to do any more with that sort of stuff. Now I really don't.
    3
  9397. A squeeze bore is a design where the barrel actually reduces in diameter between the breech and the muzzle, as a way to increase pressure and velocity. Only a few have been made in quantity, all of them as anti-tank weapons.
    3
  9398. I said the bullet acted as its own bore obstruction when pressure built too fast.
    3
  9399. If there was a suitable topic to discuss, sure.
    3
  9400. InRange is demonetized, FW is not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB8NmJGenyc
    3
  9401. Much of it, yes. Not a big fan of snails, though.
    3
  9402. It's a latch for a removable rear monopod.
    3
  9403. You heretic.
    3
  9404. Yep, we're working on it.
    3
  9405. I believe this is the exact same one he was loaned.
    3
  9406. Demo Ranch is entertainment, and like entertainment TV things are presented in the most dramatic way possible. The solution to this problem is: screw the recoil guides in when you reassemble the pistol.
    3
  9407. Some basic awareness of how to tighten screws after disassembling the gun is recommended.
    3
  9408. Rimfires were specifically exempt
    3
  9409. Wait until you see their take on the MG42…
    3
  9410. No, although that is a side benefit. The scope is that high to clear the bolt. Even though it is bent, it still requires a decent bit of clearance.
    3
  9411. I think it would be, yes.
    3
  9412. https://youtu.be/g_3AoDf7CeE
    3
  9413. About 9 hours, but that includes some time for lunch.
    3
  9414. +Jack Ryan No, modern ammo is actually underloaded compared to WWII German 8mm. However, the G43 was deliberately over-gassed, and shooters today should restrict the gas system to prevent damage.
    3
  9415. Yes.
    3
  9416. +anter176 The 98k was a shortened Gew98.
    3
  9417. Pretty good for a striker.
    3
  9418. SIG was not the first with the concept, but they were the first to make it really successful.
    3
  9419. Yeah, it pretty good for a striker. Not going to change your life, but it's well executed.
    3
  9420. Because all the machine tools you are going to use to make it are made to measure in inches.
    3
  9421. Nope.
    3
  9422. Zastava USA recommended 182 grain to me.
    3
  9423. I put it in the shade, Mr Smartypants. :)
    3
  9424. I have no more information than you do...
    3
  9425. Sort of, but it's not mechanically the same setup.
    3
  9426. Yep, they certainly do that. I've gotten a couple good deals because other people didn't want to deal with some junk that was attached to a nice rifle.
    3
  9427. Many modern shooters do use an antifreeze mixture to prevent corrosion.
    3
  9428. I'm not, because I have one myself. That video posts next Saturday.
    3
  9429. Not yet; I'm working on it.
    3
  9430. About 40 at full power.
    3
  9431. When the Wright Flyer first flew, its best flight of the day was 59 seconds long.
    3
  9432. Friday.
    3
  9433. If I apply the right charge to the spinner axle, it will spin itself...
    3
  9434. No, you don't. Like gas port holes, there is enough temperature and pressure that they don't really clog up.
    3
  9435. Brownells is fixing that today.
    3
  9436. No, by the time they developed a grenade launcher for the M1 the gas trap system had been replaced.
    3
  9437. It means the bolt is not fully closed or locked.
    3
  9438. That's how you know it's not a French design :)
    3
  9439. Two years ago. I linked to it in the Russian dub.
    3
  9440. You're looking at a different rifle in the lot.
    3
  9441. The I was in Finland, one of you cool Finns gave me a hand-drawn pencil and watercolor painting of a Suomi, a Lahti pistol, and a Finnish battle flag. I just hung it up, but you can only see the bottom bit in this camera frame.
    3
  9442. If done properly, it can be fine - the French made some experimental 49/56 rifles in 7.62 NATO.
    3
  9443. The I was in Finland, one of you cool Finns gave me a hand-drawn pencil and watercolor painting of a Suomi, a Lahti pistol, and a Finnish battle flag. I just hung it up, but you can only see the bottom bit in this camera frame.
    3
  9444. The I was in Finland, one of you cool Finns gave me a hand-drawn pencil and watercolor painting of a Suomi, a Lahti pistol, and a Finnish battle flag. I just hung it up, but you can only see the bottom bit in this camera frame.
    3
  9445. The heist crew didn't have FNCs; they had Colt 733s and a Galil. Pacino the detective had the FNC.
    3
  9446. It can hold 7.62 AK mags, but not very well. Galil and 5.45/5.56 AK mags are fine.
    3
  9447. I don't see any reason it wouldn't be just fine for shotgun ammo.
    3
  9448. No, automatic in the old meaning, ie self loading.
    3
  9449. +Primarch359 Favorite subgun, yeah.
    3
  9450. Actually, recoil would tend to pull out the projectiles facing forward, and more firmly seat the ones facing backward.
    3
  9451. Better.
    3
  9452. It doesn't use the BAR magazine.
    3
  9453. Nonsense.
    3
  9454. As Perun put it, Shitbox-1980. :)
    3
  9455. SIG Sauer is now a completely American company, with really no relation to the original Swiss SIG.
    3
  9456. There were serious problems with the plastic cased ammo not working.
    3
  9457. Important to note that while he had a bunch of accessories on it, they did not include the actual optic it will be issued with.
    3
  9458. Yes, it is.
    3
  9459. It's 3D printed metal, not steel.
    3
  9460. How convenient you should ask... https://youtu.be/hJdv5uTtFJ8
    3
  9461. I am left handed. When I shoot right-side, it is usually to get better lighting or a better camera angle.
    3
  9462. Just artistic license. It's possible someone experimented with an optic at some point, but it was never a production thing.
    3
  9463. More like SKS-57...
    3
  9464. No, it is a semiautomatic M1A. The trip lever is a dummy.
    3
  9465. Correct.
    3
  9466. YouTube doesn't allow those links anymore, and the catalog hasn't been published at Rock Island's web site yet.
    3
  9467. I think it was more about the impact of weight hanging off a crewman during the use of an ejection seat.
    3
  9468. Yeah - I should have checked Amazon more closely before picking this book to review. It turns out that the publisher doesn't have an agreement to sell directly on Amazon. Regular price is $49.95, but you can only buy new from dealers like Long Mountain Outfitters or MachineGunBooks (or book tables at gun shows). I posted the review anyway because it's still a great reference book, and folks can find it elsewhere besides Amazon.
    3
  9469. +Justin Rizzi The weight is pretty similar (about 20lb for the Polish gun), but it's much better balanced than the American 1918A2.
    3
  9470. +bri0n21 Yes, it's actually pretty nice.
    3
  9471. +Jack Mcslay Yes, it would.
    3
  9472. +Colton Robinson If you are interested in selling it, drop me a line and some photos at admin@forgottenweapons.com ...
    3
  9473. +Colton Robinson I believe it did, which rather shocked me when I noticed it in the high-speed. It's a heavy stock!
    3
  9474. Yup, that was (and is) his site.
    3
  9475. +Maurice Matla I doubt it. There are good reasons to put the mechanical bits inside rather than outside.
    3
  9476. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnOUrRTf6jg
    3
  9477. No, because the chamber is also on the barrel section.
    3
  9478. Yes, through headstamppublishing.com
    3
  9479. Nope, you don't have to change anything.
    3
  9480. Nope, just water.
    3
  9481. The British weren't going to give them the TDP.
    3
  9482. I don't know.
    3
  9483. Seems to me like it would have been pretty good...
    3
  9484. TheGaminWeasel Neither, it's an Argentine Navy model in 7.62 NATO.
    3
  9485. TheGaminWeasel I have one, just haven't done a video on it yet.
    3
  9486. Ironstorm There are no reproductions of any kind that I am aware of.
    3
  9487. Hisoka2012 Not really, surprisingly.
    3
  9488. Kinda tells you everything you needed to know about the sound of the gun though, doesn't it?
    3
  9489. Yes.
    3
  9490. When I find one, yes.
    3
  9491. DSA makes receivers.
    3
  9492. The shoulder stock attachment is why we gave it that name, although I don't have one of the stocks.
    3
  9493. There will still be 2-3 per month on YouTube, pre-recorded. The live ones will be Patron only.
    3
  9494. ***** I would expect it to be an AOW, since it is concealed and smoothbore.
    3
  9495. Sorry, I meant Mauser.
    3
  9496. The half-cock notch may have been what was used historically, but it is not considered a viable safety by modern match/range standards.
    3
  9497. 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, and 50% pain
    3
  9498. Yes, regularly.
    3
  9499. I had corrosive Tokarev ammo, and non-corrosive PPU Mauser...so I went with the Mauser.
    3
  9500. Yeah, I meant 7.63 Mauser. Sorry!
    3
  9501. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-tst-woolshell-jacket/59958
    3
  9502. +Andrew Brown I do what my hosts do. If I'm at a museum where they use gloves, then I use gloves. If I'm at an auction house where they feel that gloves make you more likely to drop something, then I don't.
    3
  9503. That sounds like a Maxim-Tokarev
    3
  9504. As I explain in the description, this is potentially an AOW when used with a semiauto MAC.
    3
  9505. Cannon mounted in an aircraft engine block to fire through the prop axis.
    3
  9506. +73288 As I said, people have found workarounds to add the paddle release to non-pinned trigger housings.
    3
  9507. Almost certainly.
    3
  9508. It's a glockenspiel.
    3
  9509. It's a 1960s Argentine Ballester-Molina. Basically a 1911 copy, but with no grip safety.
    3
  9510. 8mm Mauser.
    3
  9511. Early access to videos is one of the Patreon perks.
    3
  9512. No, that was not ever done. The Berthier was out of service before the 7.62mm NATO cartridge was developed.
    3
  9513. Because they had a lot of Lebels lying around.
    3
  9514. No, it was a round that misfed and just fell out of the mag - not a possible hangfire.
    3
  9515. I'm sure you could eventually get it running well...and it would still be a gun with terrible balance, terrible sights, a terrible trigger, and no point beyond theatrics.
    3
  9516. It makes a great impact weapon...
    3
  9517. Thanks!
    3
  9518. When I manage to get my hands on one.
    3
  9519. The lower is $110 stripped. It only gets expensive it you want expensive fire control parts in it.
    3
  9520. Electronic form 1s for creating SBRs take about 4 weeks.
    3
  9521. It can, yes. Some combinations of ammo, buffer, ejector, and extractor will throw the brass into your cheek.
    3
  9522. It's a great grip already. The practical difference between it and one of the fancy hipster grips is meaningless.
    3
  9523. Stag Arms did at one point; not sure if they still do.
    3
  9524. It does hide flash, it just can't handle all the flash from a barrel this short.
    3
  9525. No, it is a different one.
    3
  9526. The farther forward the bipod is, the narrower a field of fire you have without having to shift your whole body.
    3
  9527. No, but we will be looking at some XL70 series guns, and then an XL85 and an XL86.
    3
  9528. What was actually chosen was the Belgian SS109, 62gr semi-AP round.
    3
  9529. The bullet keeps them separate.
    3
  9530. +Joshua Lansell-Kenny There is a delay.
    3
  9531. Actually, those were Sterling submachine guns used as props.
    3
  9532. Sorry - they are still being completed by the printer.
    3
  9533. I do; the channel is mirrored there. I'm pretty sure most of the people talking it up are part of a Rumble marketing push, because nobody actually seems to be watching it.
    3
  9534. https://youtu.be/LDkradNKaZ4 :)
    3
  9535. Almost everything is available to Patrons, just not the Chauchat Challenge series.
    3
  9536. I don't plan to leave YouTube until they kick me off.
    3
  9537. +Daniel They may have been making other things, or they may have been limited by available raw materials.
    3
  9538. +Jon Wright Sure, it will run modern .32 ACP just fine.
    3
  9539. Yes, that's correct.
    3
  9540. Yeah, different camera (on a tripod)
    3
  9541. He's definitely not going to make a mirrored left-handed version.
    3
  9542. The originals, yes - not the reproductions.
    3
  9543. It pivots.
    3
  9544. Cruiser052 Sorry, can't help you there. Bannerman is pretty much unique in being an identifiable conversion. Other sporter jobs could have been done by pretty much anyone over the past hundred years.
    3
  9545. Mosins are dated in two places (typically): n the barrel over the chamber, and on the underside of the rear tang of the stock. If you don't have an intact barrel date, take the rifle out of the stock and check on the underside of the tang. Most will have an arsenal symbol and a 2- or 3-digit date.
    3
  9546. I will address those in a later video...
    3
  9547. They are right now...
    3
  9548. +Michael King No, but the two companies were related a some Sharps parts (like the hammer) were used on Spencers.
    3
  9549. +A BAD BACON @ForgotWeapons
    3
  9550. Yes, it's a double feed mag. I suspect it's a rather tired and worn mag, though, and that's what was responsible for the malfunctions.
    3
  9551. It's not in the US, and would not be legal to import into the US.
    3
  9552. You have a strange idea of what a "shill" is.
    3
  9553. It's a sticker :)
    3
  9554. The 1917 knife and the 1915 bayonet are not the same.
    3
  9555. Pray there is not an Episode 11.
    3
  9556. They made it from scratch, I have no doubt.
    3
  9557. They modified a P38 to look like one.
    3
  9558. No, they did not.
    3
  9559. They did not use an original as a prop.
    3
  9560. They'll be back in a little while.
    3
  9561. +JT Burg Look at where the mag tube connects to the receiver. On a takedown model, you will see a joint where it comes apart.
    3
  9562. I think the apparent recoil is being magnified because I'm shooting it right handed. I'm a lefty, and my control of the muzzle is not nearly as good right handed as it is left handed. In reality, the recoil is practically identical to any other 7.62x39mm AK.
    3
  9563. Big cutout in the holster/stock.
    3
  9564. +Jesus von Nazaret If it is a pre-1945 German or Chinese gun with the proper original stock, it is exempted from the NFA. Not because of C&R status, though.
    3
  9565. elektro3000 Do keep in mind that it's a prototype, and not a production piece. Sometimes goofy ideas get built as prototypes.
    3
  9566. Nope, no decocker.
    3
  9567. Colt stopped making civilian ARs for the time being because they are a rather small company now, and have gotten a military contract that will take all of their production capacity - and because too many other companies make a better rifle for less money. If it makes economic sense for Colt to restart civilian sales in the future, they will.
    3
  9568. Machine guns still required a $200 tax in 1967, and very few people were interested in buying them.
    3
  9569. Yes, that is correct.
    3
  9570. Just means that a C&R license holder can have it shipped directly to them. It may also allow ownership in one or two states that would not otherwise allow it.
    3
  9571. Sling swivel, if you wanted to put one there.
    3
  9572. That video is coming...
    3
  9573. About 35 pages on them, including Dutch police, Colombia, Congo, Haiti, and Israel. Plus how to distinguish pre-war and post-war FN rifles, and why there is actually no FN Model 1950. :)
    3
  9574. Yugoslav M76 - basically an AK in 8mm Mauser.
    3
  9575. Not 150, 1500.
    3
  9576. When I find one, definitely.
    3
  9577. Monitor.
    3
  9578. Identical to all other industrial manufacturing
    3
  9579. +Stephen Andersen Yeah, Mexico in 1916. :)
    3
  9580. Good-natured heckling is an important part of every 2-Gun Action Challenge Match. :)
    3
  9581. +Al Stern Just pretend I was on the 1916 Punitive Expedition chasing Pancho Villa.
    3
  9582. +rolf ski The helmet sucks.
    3
  9583. The 1917 Enfield.
    3
  9584. +hallis1 Good thing the table legs held! :)
    3
  9585. +Brian Reddeman I did :)
    3
  9586. +Jesse Sisolack They did make a semiauto-only civilian version, the Model 60.
    3
  9587. +MrAlumni72 When it goes click instead of bang, the mag is empty. :) That's pretty much standard for SMGs of the time.
    3
  9588. +sergeantbigmac Yes, the Model 60 was the civilian semiauto version.
    3
  9589. Usually pretty good.
    3
  9590. No, semiauto only.
    3
  9591. No, because the bore is 8mm.
    3
  9592. Priorities :)
    3
  9593. I really don't know - they just seem to be making them very very slowly. Or maybe supplying them all to some specific military contract?
    3
  9594. For one thing, the intention was to have a light machine gun - belt feed was generally left to heavier emplaced guns. Belt-fed portable guns are a relatively recent achievement.
    3
  9595. Yeah, I had to recompile it to fix the audio.
    3
  9596. Yep - I took some, but haven't posted it yet.
    3
  9597. Ahmed Sabbagh All the guns I haven't done videos on yet. ;)
    3
  9598. They get spit out the side of the hopper when empty.
    3
  9599. The Russians were not in the war in 1918, much less 1919...
    3
  9600. (pssst...the one pictured on the shirt is mine... ;) )
    3
  9601. Probably not, unless you want to loan me yours for it.
    3
  9602. I actually have a video of the Menin Gate Last Post ceremony that will be publishing on InRange at some point.
    3
  9603. Yup, that is a Remington-Keene.
    3
  9604. Yes, but the rifle had to be kept in a ready position
    3
  9605. That patch was awarded for completing the trench stage at Finnish Brutality last year
    3
  9606. Acta Non Verba Anthropoid
    3
  9607. Yep
    3
  9608. Rimlock isn't an issue because the rounds are feeding downward, not forward.
    3
  9609. Me too! I will definitely film one if/when I manage to find one.
    3
  9610. "AR" stands for "Armalite". The AR-17, for example, is a shotgun.
    3
  9611. Standard .45ACP is subsonic to begin with.
    3
  9612. No, I did not.
    3
  9613. Same thing. Just different names.
    3
  9614. Yes :)
    3
  9615. Yes, but difficult.
    3
  9616. I filmed it, but have not published it yet.
    3
  9617. Yes, and double the weight. :)
    3
  9618. To get a better view of the action for the camera.
    3
  9619. The FAL/SLR is not accurate enough for this role.
    3
  9620. The SLR is not accurate enough for this role.
    3
  9621. We had several Russian contributors to the book, and we don't hate Russians.
    3
  9622. A strike at Remington. The US war not at war until 1917.
    3
  9623. From the description: Sorry about the sound quality! I did my best to clean it up, but the air conditioning system in the museum had a more significant impact on the video that I had anticipated.
    3
  9624. The US Navy did adopt and issue the Lewis gun.
    3
  9625. I think it would make an excellent general-service weapon, but I recognize that I am not a modern tactics SME.
    3
  9626. Discord is still only for Patreon.
    3
  9627. Unfortunately, since it fires from an open bolt, ATF would prohibit manufacture of this pistol today on the grounds that it would be easily converted into a machine gun.
    3
  9628. @claudiobenassi85 Well, because 100 years of experience has shown that Browning's tilting barrel system is the best all-around locking system for an automatic pistol. That doesn't make the other designs less interesting, though.
    3
  9629. Ask me how I know...😆
    3
  9630. Older way to spell it.
    3
  9631. +pirate23031968 Glad you enjoyed it!
    3
  9632. +David Stegman It would be less bad...but I don't think I would like it.
    3
  9633. https://youtu.be/YtzaVil5joc
    3
  9634. Not really. The significant majority of the weight comes from the ammunition, not the magazine.
    3
  9635. If you can't hear the pistol over a couple people talking, that tells you something significant, does it not?
    3
  9636. +Phillip Igyarto No, it should not have.
    3
  9637. It has a loaded chamber indicator back there.
    3
  9638. You should also check out my recent video shooting and disassembling a 7.62mm EM-2.
    3
  9639. Actually, it's much closer to the AK than the FAL. Rotating bolt, AK-style FCG, long stroke gas piston, etc.
    3
  9640. Under the table.
    3
  9641. This isn't IDPA; it's a totally independent match with its own unique scoring system.
    3
  9642. 32 ACP
    3
  9643. I would love to, if I can get my hands on one.
    3
  9644. Considering the work required, the cost is actually pretty reasonable. Tooling up to make a million lets you do it on the cheap; making a few hundred is an expensive undertaking, even for something as seemingly simple as the Liberator. We bought one ourselves, FWIW.
    3
  9645. It's from "The Partisan", by 16 Horsepower. Les Allemands e'taient chez moi, ils me dirent, "Résigne toi," mais je n'ai pas peur; j'ai repris mon arme. (The Germans were at my home They said, "Sign yourself," But I am not afraid I have retaken my weapon.)
    3
  9646. Handled one, but never shot one.
    3
  9647. I forgot to click "public" this morning. :)
    3
  9648. Yeah, I had a cold all last week.
    3
  9649. You can email me at admin@forgottenweapons.com - if you don't mind, I would appreciate getting some more details on this.
    3
  9650. Those are the velocities of each shot.
    3
  9651. I would do that in a heartbeat, if I could.
    3
  9652. Yes, they did do some revolvers.
    3
  9653. You can get it from Varusteleka: https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/ian-mccollum-pistols-of-the-warlords-chinese-domestic-handguns-1911-1949/72940
    3
  9654. It's already up on Full30...https://www.full30.com/video/007209576f7078b7a6365c7e0356cf98
    3
  9655. I plan to get one as soon as they are available, yes. No idea when that will be, at this point. :(
    3
  9656. Both.
    3
  9657. The cartridge cannot be longer than the space before the rifling. So if you were to rifle the chambers, you would limit the cartridge length which could be used which is the point of this revolver in the first place) and you would still have the freebore issue for the shorter rounds.
    3
  9658. It's DA/SA, and I was choosing to fire in single action.
    3
  9659. I believe my magazine problems are due to age - the ones I have are fairly corroded and in rough shape. I can jam 15 or 16 round in, but I don't want to break them because they are really rare today. Back in 1918, the guys would have had no qualms about that. As for dirt, these are better because they don't have open windows, but they are still surprisingly flimsy material.
    3
  9660. For the French, I should add. I have not found any info about how the .30-06 guns were used differently, if they actually were.
    3
  9661. I would have to go look it up to be sure, but IIRC the original ammo load was something like 12 or 15 mags for the gunner. Over the course of the war, the team size was increased from 3 men to 6 to reduce the ammo load and make the gunners more mobile and dynamic.
    3
  9662. No, because that match was 3 weeks ago. Also, that match would have been totally impossible and un-fun with the CSRG. We have video of it coming on InRange, and it was hard enough with modern guns!
    3
  9663. Maybe because the script called for that.
    3
  9664. Only firearms are dangerous.
    3
  9665. Yes.
    3
  9666. The Bren was originally the ZBG-33, which was basically a ZB26 in .303.
    3
  9667. They licensed it.
    3
  9668. Larry Fuller Thank you!
    3
  9669. Dr Mantis Toboggan Indeed it would! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zv4ekzpWdFk
    3
  9670. I modified a spare barrel, feed block, and extractor.
    3
  9671. It's steel, and is a flash hider.
    3
  9672. A striker has an integral firing pin; a linear hammer hits a separate firing pin.
    3
  9673. No.
    3
  9674. My video on the A2 will publish in about 2 weeks.
    3
  9675. It's legal, just like HK G3 fire control groups. The semiauto receiver is modified to not accept the full auto FCG.
    3
  9676. I hate to break it to you, but France did not lose WW1.
    3
  9677. They don't damage the muzzle, which is often done when using rod incorrectly.
    3
  9678. David Paddison I am in Arizona, but RIA is in Illinois.
    3
  9679. Just an artifact of the microphone.
    3
  9680. It would be up to you whether to take a penalty per shot fired from the wrong shoulder or give it your best try not using the sights directly. The targets on that portion were not all that far away...
    3
  9681. If there is a single motto of 2-Gun, it's "we considered fair, and decided against it". Small guys carry the full weight, fat guys crawl through the small obstacles, and old guys shoot the awkward positions.
    3
  9682. +Stormcrow41 Individual chambers. The rod is for cleaning the bore and for clearing squibs.
    3
  9683. Sorry, but no - it is not.
    3
  9684. https://www.aimcam.com
    3
  9685. The ATF specifically exempts a number of historic pistols with stocks from the NFA. These include original artillery Lugers. You can see the whole list in this pdf: https://www.atf.gov/file/128116/download
    3
  9686. AimCam.com
    3
  9687. Built into the glasses.
    3
  9688. +Ben Baker Not better ones than Arizona!
    3
  9689. I have one, but didn't want to TOTALLY handicap myself, especially when I had a legit UAR High Power. :)
    3
  9690. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZaqR7Ib2wE
    3
  9691. That's California, not Canada.
    3
  9692. True, 100% of the firsthand accounts are from guys who were not killed.
    3
  9693. They use a push-through type of belt. When you fire the first round, the bolt pushes the first round forward out of the belt, into the chamber, and immediately fires it.
    3
  9694. If the bolt opens too fast after firing, the case will start to extract while the pressure inside it still way too high. The brass will rupture, and the gas will blow out into the receiver doing things like blowing magazines out, shattering stocks, and bending top covers.
    3
  9695. Its accuracy is excellent; both the 34 and the 42.
    3
  9696. Firing out of battery - meaning when the bolt wasn't fully locked.
    3
  9697. Yes, exactly the same system.
    3
  9698. Nope, I have not yet. I have access to one, but haven't been able to coordinate schedules with its owner yet.
    3
  9699. Yup. It's corrosive, but otherwise very good ammo.
    3
  9700. +Whitefang8128 The Maxim needs to have the barrel supported at the muzzle.
    3
  9701. They are junky airsoft copies that look good on camera but actually suck. Because I couldn't bring myself to pay $350 for iron sights.
    3
  9702. I am an independent outfit; I work for myself.
    3
  9703. Because they're (allegedly) in English?
    3
  9704. Yes, and then I replaced the barrel.
    3
  9705. No, this is an original one.
    3
  9706. Yep.
    3
  9707. Got any evidence to support that assertion?
    3
  9708. The trigger is designed to use two fingers - it's very heavy.
    3
  9709. No, they are not. They are a terrible substitute for real first aid kit. Buy real gauze and a real tourniquet.
    3
  9710. The Germans used a reversed sight when they modified Chassepots for their own service.
    3
  9711. Bolt actions are simpler and better suited to powerful cartridges than levers and pumps.
    3
  9712. It wasn't about heat, it was about reducing weight.
    3
  9713. Yes.
    3
  9714. I would take my WWSD AR over the FAMAS.
    3
  9715. It's not a bug, it's a feature! "Tactile reliability confirmation"
    3
  9716. How does one reach the position I've gotten to? Heh...start doing it and just don't stop. :) I've been blogging daily for a couple years now, and that's what really drove my audience growth.
    3
  9717. I expect they would - all four cartridges have the same case head dimensions. I just didn't have any at the range that day.
    3
  9718. It shouldn't have any significant effect - the barrel doesn't start moving until the bullet has existed.
    3
  9719. https://youtu.be/CTO2ppB50Ic
    3
  9720. The Johnson wasn't used in any significant quantity and didn't impact the war.
    3
  9721. France was working on one (MAS 40), but didn't quite have it ready in time. They got it into production as the MAS 44 after France was liberated. The Italians also had one that didn't get into mass production, the Armaguerra 39 (https://youtu.be/sZ9IACssv2Y).
    3
  9722. In peacetime, absolutely. In war, not so much.
    3
  9723. Nope, too rich for my blood.
    3
  9724. Yes, the retail grey-cover version will be available after the Kickstarter ends.
    3
  9725. No, but I was when I filmed this.
    3
  9726. The subject of South Africa is apparently irresistible to cletii.
    3
  9727. Check out Runkel's video (linked in the description). They just want to shut KE down.
    3
  9728. No, I don't.
    3
  9729. No, the Bren design goes back to the early 1920s.
    3
  9730. Foxtrot 29 Nope, haven't done one on the Johnson LMG yet.
    3
  9731. Why not buy an original? A new reproduction would be more expensive than an original one.
    3
  9732. Yes.
    3
  9733. It's not in the US, so it's not a relevant question technically. If it was in the US, it would be considered a flare gun because it's chambered for 37mm rounds and not 40mm ones. If you fired lethal ammunition from it, though, it would legally have to be registered as a Destructive Device.
    3
  9734. Absolutely - there is no substitute for a thorough reference library.
    3
  9735. Yup, an AK followup is in the works.
    3
  9736. BigSmartArmed This belief that direct impingement (or rather, the AR's operating system which is actually a gas piston using the bolt and carrier as piston and cylinder; the MAS44/49 and AG42B are actually DI actions) is a bad system is really just not true. At best, its problems are significantly overstated.
    3
  9737. I suspect the VZ-58 would pass the mud testing fine, but would have the same type of trouble in sand that the MAS did. The action is nicely sealed when at rest, but opens wide up when firing, and that would let in sand until it failed.
    3
  9738. Most likely, yes.
    3
  9739. Yeah, I was a bit sad that the MAS didn't make it through.
    3
  9740. http://www.smgguns.com
    3
  9741. Yes, although they do require some modification. The reproduction 8mm version of the gun uses standard ZB-26 mags.
    3
  9742. No; the Liberator works.
    3
  9743. The hypothermia patch was for completing the trench stage last year.
    3
  9744. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRA-shooting
    3
  9745. We are still working on it - I don't have an ETA.
    3
  9746. I did, but they have to get any official public comment approved in advance.
    3
  9747. The root of the problem is actually the German government.
    3
  9748. You realize the Star Wars prop is a real gun with some bits glued on it, right?
    3
  9749. 1:8.5 inches = 1:213mm
    3
  9750. Indubitably.
    3
  9751. Advanced primer ignition is a specific subtype of open bolt mechanism which is not universal, and certainly not used in this design. In an API gun, the cartridge is firing as it is still moving forward into the chamber - the Oerlikon 20mm guns are a perfect example (this explains why they use rebated-rim cases, too). This design does nothing of the sort, it just has a fixed firing pin.
    3
  9752. These were filmed a couple weeks ago, and I'm all better now - thanks!
    3
  9753. No.
    3
  9754. When I find one, I will.
    3
  9755. I did; it will air in a week or two.
    3
  9756. +The Void American in 30-06. I didn't film it because I have my own one coming.
    3
  9757. Open bolt means the bolt is open when you pull the trigger. It is unrelated to whether the gun uses a locked action.
    3
  9758. Sorry, but I didn't have a chance to take a look at that one.
    3
  9759. You should not put a finger on the trigger until you are actually ready to fire, but you want the gun to authenticate immediately upon picking it up.
    3
  9760. As soon as I get a production model. :)
    3
  9761. No, I think they chose that deliberately.
    3
  9762. Some men just want to watch the world burn...
    3
  9763. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3GJAPgz23c
    3
  9764. Yes, the Bergmann 1894 and 1896.
    3
  9765. That was a remarkably nice gun in every way.
    3
  9766. I wasn’t doing it for the primitive aspect; I did it for the elk. I only went to a primitive zone because that’s the tag that was available.
    3
  9767. +Robert Thomas Whoops - meant to say GCA, obviously. And yes, it was only in 1968 that destructive devices were added to the NFA. That's why you see the ads for mail-ordered Lahti and Solothurn cannons. (https://www.atf.gov/rules-and-regulations/national-firearms-act)
    3
  9768. That was a completely different cartridge.
    3
  9769. The argument for clips is that they are cheaper, less significant to replace when damaged, allow the shooter to get lower to the ground, and are easier to carry. For a practiced shooter, they really are no slower to reload than detachable magazines, except that they hold fewer rounds.
    3
  9770. I did one at RIA, and it will be posting in about a week.
    3
  9771. wikikomoto They made a bunch in 1929, and you can still find boxes of it here and there.
    3
  9772. I did - 158gr soft points.
    3
  9773. In my experience, very few guns are actually a problem to shoot left handed.

  9775. Yes.

  9781. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9yuckHwuZY
    3
  9782. I do.
    3
  9783. No, they do not.
    3
  9784. Yep, we will be doing the Mateba - and also a better, hi-def video on the Webley-Fosbery.
    3
  9785. Oh thanks, NOW you tell me.
    3
  9786. Ferris Well, sort of - the cone isn't adjustable in any way though.
    3
  9787. elektro3000 Nobody makes reproduction parts; Karl's bolt carrier was found on eBay.
    3
  9788. That's exactly what it is.
    3
  9789. Similar, but not quite the same, The Calico mags are spring-driven.
    3
  9790. Without having information from previous owners (which I don't), there is probably no way to.
    3
  9791. Not legally, unless you are a licensed manufacturer of machine guns.
    3
  9792. I did have to let my 1946 Jeep warm up.
    3
  9793. It would have been made during WWI, but I don't know of any data allowing a more specific date from the serial number. As for replacement parts, unfortunately I think you are out of luck. The only option is to find a machinist to fabricate one from scratch - there simply aren't any parts for these pistols out there.
    3
  9794. Yes, search for the Leader T2.
    3
  9795. Sort of. The tank version uses a 63 round drum, but the two are not interchangeable, because they use different mounting brackets.
    3
  9796. I'll get right on that.
    3
  9797. About $20.
    3
  9798. Can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not...
    3
  9799. My pick would be the ZB30.
    3
  9800. I post the winner each month on Instagram. And I send the guns out to them myself.
    3
  9801. This one was commercial production but refitted to duplicate the military pattern for its current owner.
    3
  9802. You don't.
    3
  9803. Stay safe! I have a specific playlist for Czech guns. :)
    3
  9804. Yes, they all do/did.
    3
  9805. 11mm Gras.
    3
  9806. He died, and many years later the current government of Ethiopia decided to sell off thousands of antique rifles to the highest bidder.
    3
  9807. We haven't done one on the 18 yet, but we will be.
    3
  9808. You drop the $1800 on it, you can do whatever you want with it.
    3
  9809. Yes, we will be.
    3
  9810. I'm already on Rumble, not that anyone actually watches there.
    3
  9811. Sorry, but no.
    3
  9812. I think that would actually be pretty fun to own. 😆
    3
  9813. That is possible...
    3
  9814. The DShK is probably the best example.
    3
  9815. It would make great financial sense for them, and I hope they decide to join us. They have an open door any time.
    3
  9816. I do not. I found mine years ago, and they only show up rarely.
    3
  9817. The Russians do also have an F1 grenade, modeled on the French F1.
    3
  9818. Neither of those were military weapons.
    3
  9819. Thanks!
    3
  9820. Alpini, yes.
    3
  9821. I would like to, but I need to start with places where I already have reasonably good connections. Russia is tricky because I know virtually nobody there, and have zero knowledge of the language. In western Europe I can at least read the alphabet.
    3
  9822. I plan to.
    3
  9823. FinalCut Pro X
    3
  9824. Unsuccessful is having your design unceremoniously pulled from combat operations for being unreliable.
    3
  9825. It allows you to use the barrel as a guide rod and it takes up minimal room in the design. It's a really efficient place to put the spring as long as the barrel isn't moving.
    3
  9826. Gift from a neighbor who was moving.
    3
  9827. GWACS Armory. (Formerly CavArms)
    3
  9828. Yes.
    3
  9829. My rifle has an ambidextrous safety, but the point here is not about which side the lever is on. Rather, what the specific settings are.
    3
  9830. Yes, a C79.
    3
  9831. Yes.
    3
  9832. I have a piece filmed (but not yet published) the exact Luty SMG that Luty was caught with and went to prison for. How about that? :)
    3
  9833. Half a dozen or so. Howell, Turner, Reider, Charlton, and probably a couple others.
    3
  9834. Over a bolt action SMLE? Yes, absolutely.
    3
  9835. It's a WWSD 2020 carbine, so all the controls are fully ambidextrous.
    3
  9836. Oops! Just fixed that, thanks.
    3
  9837. We pretty much shipped the first one off to Finland for this match as soon as we received it.
    3
  9838. No, 16"
    3
  9839. Silhouette or smaller.
    3
  9840. Nope. My run with a Finnish Mosin is coming in a week or so...embrace the pain. :)
    3
  9841. As long as you're lying down and within reach of the kettlebell, it doesn't matter.
    3
  9842. MrAvengedsorrow It's a pretty recent thing for YouTube.
    3
  9843. Did you get a notification for this video? I set it to not notify subscribers...
    3
  9844. Remarkably, Fiocchi still makes the ammo.
    3
  9845. I want a specific icon for the just-slow-motion videos.
    3
  9846. Here's the Beretta: https://youtu.be/ERra12KuEvw Here's the Suomi: https://youtu.be/EwPyAWEwPrg
    3
  9847. There is less content on it and the interface is unfamiliar to people, are the two that I think are most substantial.
    3
  9848. Yes, I do.
    3
  9849. It does.
    3
  9850. Ultimately, we all end up dead.
    3
  9851. Not legally, no. But some ranges opt not to allow it for liability reasons.
    3
  9852. The vast majority of what Americans got from the French were 1914 Hotchkiss HMGs and M1915 Chauchats in 8mm Lebel.
    3
  9853. In 8mm Lebel, it was the most-produced machine gun in all of WW1.
    3
  9854. Yes.
    3
  9855. The original carbines were shorter.
    3
  9856. +Ass Cancer It doesn't go up for sale for another week and a half.
    3
  9857. +MrJest2 Yep. I don't want to use foul language in the channel here, so I can't do a proper job of describing Rich Wyatt.
    3
  9858. +keith moore Having actually worked for Wyatt when I was in high school, and also seen that terrible TV show, and knowing his legal trouble with fraud, I would never want to ever deal with him again.
    3
  9859. Yes. You can pre-order a signed copy and just include a note that you would like the red cover. Also, we will have regular cover signature editions for sale after the printing, although they will be more expensive.
    3
  9860. I found it in France and arranged to import it into the US.
    3
  9861. The different options, including price, are on the righthand sidebar of the Kickstarter page.
    3
  9862. https://www.reddit.com/r/ForgottenWeapons/comments/bjixnc/coordinating_international_orders_for_ians_book/
    3
  9863. It is, although probably not quite as nice as Indy's Chair of Wisdom.
    3
  9864. Not in WW1?
    3
  9865. We are ready!
    3
  9866. It's a Russian military hat from the Afghanistan period.
    3
  9867. There is a hole in the holster specifically to allowed a chambered round to eject, so it wouldn't be a problems at all. Sorry, I should have pointed that out in the video.
    3
  9868. You don't have to; the complete rules are here: https://www.getenteredtowin.com/wp-content/uploads/Soviet-Makarov-Sweepstakes-Official-Rules-11.28.23pdf.pdf
    3
  9869. That is CroPat, made by SparTac in Croatia.
    3
  9870. Virtually nowhere, which is why we were not able to procure one to shoot.
    3
  9871. Yes, it is. Thanks to the non-standard attachment rail, I can't use it on anything.
    3
  9872. +Gojiro7 This model doesn't do that; the 1930 pattern did.
    3
  9873. +John Bartlett Yes.
    3
  9874. It's an import mark.
    3
  9875. Toyama Tokanawa It's a live round with an inert projectile. The shot f the case sitting on the carriage is from after firing - I included it because I didn't get a video clip of the guys loading the gun.
    3
  9876. It's for SG43/PK/PKM belts.
    3
  9877. Yep, one of my ongoing projects is making or acquiring some ammo for my Frommer 1910, which is in a proprietary obsolete cartridge. I also have access to a .32ACP Frommer Stop, but I haven't had the chance to do a video on it yet.
    3
  9878. In the most technical sense, yes. Newton's Law dictates that the slide and barrel start moving immediately as the bullet does. However, the bullet accelerates much faster because it is much lighter than the slide and barrel combined, and the bullet has left the muzzle before the slide has moved any significant distance.
    3
  9879. December 11.
    3
  9880. Someone who is more of a Mauser specialist than me might be able to deduce more about a specific rifle, but I don't know of any way to tell.
    3
  9881. Leia's pistol was a Margolin.
    3
  9882. He tried to buy it years ago when it sold at Julia's, but Clive Cussler outbid him.
    3
  9883. No - we're working on it, but won't have anything set up in time for this run. Sorry!
    3
  9884. We ship worldwide
    3
  9885. Sorry, but no.
    3
  9886. No amount of people asking will make it happen before I can actually get my hands on one...
    3
  9887. Karl is not a party to the suit. Many motions have been filed back and forth, including motions for dismissal.
    3
  9888. It's a play on words. Lightened machine guns, etc.
    3
  9889. Ooo, clever - I like it! :)
    3
  9890. You can use a credit card without having a PayPal account.
    3
  9891. Only with a rifle. :)
    3
  9892. I must be pretty awesome to do that from Arizona...
    3
  9893. +Abyssaljam Off the top of my head, probably the Lorenzoni repeating flintlock revolver, which dated to the 1680s. https://youtu.be/J_hnC6x036Q
    3
  9894. The 41 and 43 are both better guns, the 43 much better.
    3
  9895. Those are just padded rods in the barrels to hang them on the wall.
    3
  9896. I will always share things I think are worth sharing. But that's doesn't include mobile games, for instance.
    3
  9897. Cast aluminum. It's a MAS 36 CR39.
    3
  9898. I plan to make it a whole series, but the amount of prep time they require has led me to postpone them a bunch.
    3
  9899. +m1994a3jagnew I found a Pancor Jackhammer and worked backwards. :)
    3
  9900. +andrew the anime nerd Best of luck!
    3
  9901. +Pantelis Proios Thank you!
    3
  9902. It's set up to use your right eye, not left.
    3
  9903. Yes.
    3
  9904. I've seen Dps, but not RP-46s
    3
  9905. Unlike traditional open bolt SMGs, the recoil force on this one is not in a single linear track, so dropping it really can't cause the bolt to open and catch a cartridge.
    3
  9906. I have been there twice, actually.
    3
  9907. I did; filmed 9 videos there. ;)
    3
  9908. It's definitely on my list...
    3
  9909. I have a video coming on the Perun X-16, and I will be using one at next year's Lynx Brutality.
    3
  9910. The muzzle flip is a bit worse than other pistols I've used, which I attribute to the somewhat high bore axis. That said, it looks worse in slow motion than it really is, because my grip for the slow-mo shots was not very sturdy.
    3
  9911. No, only InRange is demonetized.
    3
  9912. They were not in the original tubes; Stemple added them during his assembly process.
    3
  9913. Thanks! Every bit helps.
    3
  9914. You can use Paypal or a credit/debit card through the IndieGoGo link - if you want to send a check, please write to me at admin@forgottenweapons.com and I will let you know where you can send it. Thanks!
    3
  9915. Thanks for the help! An x-ray would be a pretty cool tool to be able to use...I'll have to poke around and see if there are any feasible options.
    3
  9916. They haven't posted the catalog yet.
    3
  9917. We're working on it.
    3
  9918. You shoot right-handed.
    3
  9919. No. Muzzle brakes redirect the exhaust gas to reduce the felt recoil; that's their basic purpose.
    3
  9920. +Rumpole Del Bailey $299,000 including buyer's premium.
    3
  9921. Yep, SMG Guns in Texas is making semiauto reproductions in 8mm and .308 - I have a review video and a couple 2-gun match videos with their guns. There is also a company in Germany making reproductions, but they aren't available in the US at this time.
    3
  9922. Yes, they do fit.
    3
  9923. Not this one, unfortunately.
    3
  9924. +Riccardo Sartori admin@forgottenweapons.com
    3
  9925. Nothing particular; it's moving along.
    3
  9926. The Henry was only made as a rifle.
    3
  9927. Front of the cylinder.
    3
  9928. If someone tries to assassinate me, I hope they use a Glock 18.
    3
  9929. +iotaje1 Yes, videos on both of those are coming.
    3
  9930. +leavingtheworldinawe I will have a video on the T2, but not eh BSA Thompson (time constraints - can't do everything, unfortunately).
    3
  9931. That would also eliminate the entire M16 family and pre-AKM Kalashnikovs.
    3
  9932. "AR" is just an abbreviation for Armalite. This is why their sporting shotgun was named the AR-17.
    3
  9933. Joseph G. I think it needs a new extractor.
    3
  9934. Yes, this book covers the vz58. Not because it is an AK variant, but because it is relevant to the story of the AK.
    3
  9935. Wayne is correct - this is not a process subject to opinion. If you pass the background check, you are approved.
    3
  9936. ATf has determined that pre-1898 machine guns still require a tax stamp. In theory, you could petition them to remove something on the basis of not having available ammunition. Good luck.
    3
  9937. Yes, this is a pistol.
    3
  9938. This is me shilling for Flux, not Sig. Please get it right.
    3
  9939. That was a USW-320
    3
  9940. Yes.
    3
  9941. It's smaller and lighter, has better terminal performance, and carries more ammunition. And if you need customer service, you don't have to go through H&K.
    3
  9942. Brownells is retailing the KP15.
    3
  9943. Personally, I want either aluminum or monolithic polymer, not something in between.
    3
  9944. Probably, but the ammunition is nearly as rare and expensive as the guns.
    3
  9945. There were some commercially available double action versions, but this is not one of them.
    3
  9946. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqTVjFxVYJE
    3
  9947. Not really different form being in Belgium at Fabrique Nationale...
    3
  9948. +TireFuri For some reason, and I don't know why, YouTube does not offer PPV video on the Czech Republic. It you look in the video descriptions, you will find links to Full30.com, where you can see them for free.
    3
  9949. +NagencaTV Yep, I will sooner or later. There is pretty much always at least one of them in each auction.
    3
  9950. No.
    3
  9951. No, it's cerakoted with the rest of the gun.
    3
  9952. In theory, perhaps. But the stock does not interchange with any other design out there, so someone would have to start manufacturing specifically CETME-L braces, and there aren't enough of the kits in the US to justify that.
    3
  9953. I have videos on two such guns, the Semmerling LM4 and the Fiala.
    3
  9954. The red band says .300 Blackout; I keep them on all my Blackout mags and only load .300 into those mags. Prevents mixing .300 into a 5.56mm rifle.
    3
  9955. That's Žiga from Polenar Tactical.
    3
  9956. No, that's Žiga from Polenar Tactical.
    3
  9957. Nobody really knows, because they were not put into production.
    3
  9958. I accidentally published the one without the shooting footage and didn't realize it until just now. Oops!
    3
  9959. I accidentally published the one without the shooting footage and didn't realize it until just now. Oops!
    3
  9960. It was an Oerlikon in the movie (http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Thunderbolt_and_Lightfoot) and an L39 Lahti in real life (https://youtu.be/N9CZO3jFUz4)
    3
  9961. I accidentally published the one without the shooting footage and didn't realize it until just now. Oops!
    3
  9962. Later theis month.
    3
  9963. Definitely "carbine".
    3
  9964. It's a WW2 helmet and WW2 guns. If I had been shooting an MP40, I would have said "Achtung, Ami!" instead.
    3
  9965. $5k-$15k, depending on condition and accessories.
    3
  9966. Yes, it could be. Cocking the hammer manually will rotate the cylinder, and that can be done without the slide assembly needing to move.
    3
  9967. I agree - the nicest shooter will probably be a No4 Mk2. I prefer the No4 sights over the SMLE sights, but if you're interested in a historically collectible gun the SMLE might be more appealing.
    3
  9968. It's a channel name, not a litmus test. And without an understanding of successful and influential guns, you cannot properly understand the truly forgotten ones - like the 1923 Thompson, for example.
    3
  9969. The next segment is the 21/28 and 1928.
    3
  9970. They had 1903 Springfields, Thompsons, Reisings, and 1917A1 Brownings.
    3
  9971. A compensator actually would not do much, because it is a relatively low pressure, large bore gun.
    3
  9972. That was part of the Yakuza initiation.
    3
  9973. He is also developing a belt-fed machine gun using the same cartridge. http://www.defenceweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50332:inkunzi-strike-to-be-qualified-by-march&catid=50:Land&Itemid=105
    3
  9974. They typically tie to the belt, not the wrist. Prevents you from losing the gun if you should drop it.
    3
  9975. Ó Slatraigh Good guys vs bad guys in this period was often a very fuzzy line.
    3
  9976. 7mm Mauser
    3
  9977. That's coming in about 2 weeks.
    3
  9978. There are a lot of Nambu pistols, but massive numbers of Arisakas. Rifles were much more common in the IJA than pistols.
    3
  9979. All the ordnance in there has had its explosive removed
    3
  9980. I don't believe there is a dedicated group; not much repatriation being done any more. We did run into a group who was there to bring back the remains of a Raider whose body was found just before covid, though.
    3
  9981. On the battlefields we found cartridge cases, intact rifle rounds, and shrapnel everywhere.
    3
  9982. It is interesting that in the US, we consider police SMG use to be extreme, while in most of the rest of the world it's normal. Walk through European airports or train stations and you will often find police patrols with SMGs.
    3
  9983. Without having had a chance to actually shoot a San Cristobal yet, I really can't say. Best bet would be the M1 Carbine, though.
    3
  9984. No, it's totally different.
    3
  9985. Probably a WW2 surplus MkIV in .38-200 caliber.
    3
  9986. Salmonaxe223 Yes, I did.
    3
  9987. TheGrizzlyBeard1 If the US had adopted the rifle, it would have been made by Springfield Armory and US contractors.
    3
  9988. Not capture, sale. The Germans sold a whole lot of Mausers to the Ottomans, mostly in 1917.
    3
  9989. For me? LAMG.
    3
  9990. TF, surplussed from 82nd Airborne use.
    3
  9991. No
    3
  9992. Pretty close, 1 MOA at 100 yards is 1.047 inches.
    3
  9993. Rock Island Auction Company Not just filming, but shooting! I still have the trounds I picked up for it, and sooner or later I'll find a gun I can shoot them in. :)
    3
  9994. BurnThePope0514 Whoops! Thanks for pointing that out - it is .360 Mars.
    3
  9995. Richard Maunder The No.6 was an experimental version made in Australia. A total of 100 were made, and the proposed large-scale order was cancelled. As for an Ishapore carbine, I have never seen any evidence of one being made officially - only normal 2A1 rifles cut down by importers. Do you have any documentation of an original one?
    3
  9996. It has an extractor, but my cases stuck every time.
    3
  9997. It's a shot timer, held up tot he shooter because it listens for gunshots.
    3
  9998. True, but .38s are .35 caliber.
    3
  9999. What really matters is the attitude of your local club. No matter what type of competition you are looking at, it's the people you are shooting with who make it a fun or not-so-fun event.
    3
  10000. G2 video is filmed; haven't set a posting date yet. :)
    3
  10001. No.
    3
  10002. Call or email them just to be sure, but yes - they will ship overseas as long as the item you're bidding on is legal to own and import where you live.
    3
  10003. No, but I did shoot the first Finnish Brutality with an M95S.
    3
  10004. Portuguese M64 vertical lizard. It's pretty obscure; I'm not surprised you aren't familiar with it.
    3
  10005. Yeah, I realized that when I was editing the video together.
    3
  10006. Either is fine; there's a mailing address in the description text of all my regular videos. Thanks!
    3
  10007. Camera angles and lighting.
    3
  10008. 9x19
    3
  10009. This is a Rhodesian gun, not South African.
    3
  10010. Filmed at a private collection in South Africa.
    3
  10011. Nope. Barrel length does not increase mechanical accuracy, a short barrel on a shotgun does not increase spread (choke does that) and a wider spread is not necessarily more lethal.
    3
  10012. Musket originally meant a non-rifled long arm, but the meaning has changed several times over a couple centuries.
    3
  10013. The MP7 in 5.56mm is basically the G36.
    3
  10014. It has no safety. Don't load it until you are ready to fire.
    3
  10015. They made both rifles and carbines.
    3
  10016. AK.
    3
  10017. The L85A1 was the British standard issue weapon until the problems with it were simply to well known to be covered up, and the government was forced to do something to fix it. This is a very different situation than a prototype. Also, Wikipedia is not a reliable source of information.
    3
  10018. Same gun, different abbreviation.
    3
  10019. Just out of curiosity, how much shooting have you done with any combat rifle other than the L85?
    3
  10020. If used left handed the ejected cases go right into your teeth.
    3
  10021. The scope batteries are rechargeable.
    3
  10022. +Millwater Publishing Cleaning rod storage, yes.
    3
  10023. $100 from Timney
    3
  10024. finalfantasy50 No, I haven't done one like that yet.
    3
  10025. +Matt Virag Thanks!
    3
  10026. It failed to meet reserve, I believe. I assume it went back to the consignor.
    3
  10027. +Gun Sense (drmaudio) I expect that would work fine.
    3
  10028. +Co Jones It does the same thing as the charging latch, but it easier to use when disassembling the gun.
    3
  10029. Yes, I left InRange in late 2019.
    3
  10030. A 1930s French jacket I found in a flea market :)
    3
  10031. No, I have not done the standard one yet.
    3
  10032. Would I shoot it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_Vh20RTJOA
    3
  10033. I am working on the volcano lair. Takes time to arrange.
    3
  10034. In the US, we use "bolt" in the way you use "breechblock" - it does not imply any rotational motion as a part of firearms terminology. Regarding disassembly, I make no claim to duplicate military-specific disassembly drill. These sorts of complaints come predominantly from British folks, and I suspect it is the result of virtually all British firearms exposure being through military service, and an unconscious assumption that military doctrine is the only correct way to handle, describe, or use firearms.
    3
  10035. You Brits have some strange nomenclature hangups... :)
    3
  10036. It's a 9mm carbine made by one of the world's premier gun companies at a time when Britain desperately needed small arms. I think we can forgive them for assuming that it wouldn't be a problem.
    3
  10037. Guns predating the ATF policy change are grandfathered and legal to own (note: not legal to convert to full auto).
    3
  10038. It would be extremely cool. Someone should inform the studios. :)
    3
  10039. Currently, a private individual can electronically file the form to make a short-barreled rifle, but to transfer one that already exists the form can only be filed physically. That process takes 5-10 months, where the electronic form takes about 1 month. Most manufacturers do not want to deal with that delay and process, and they do not offer short-barreled rifles as an available product.
    3
  10040. Yes, I will be doing a complete series on Japanese rifles.
    3
  10041. Interestingly, my high speed camera (Edgertronic) came from a Kickstarter product, and has served me extremely well for many years now.
    3
  10042. Once the HMG guns are shipping, I will be very happy to do so.
    3
  10043. Sharps rifles of a couple different models used that system.
    3
  10044. Yes.
    3
  10045. It's slightly longer (12.7x108 vs 12.7x99) but for all practical purposes equivalent.
    3
  10046. Yes.
    3
  10047. Probably Kords.
    3
  10048. 12.7x108mm
    3
  10049. @Bo Bauer Yes, spade grips and a tripod mount.
    3
  10050. Yes.
    3
  10051. Heavy and bulky, not something that can be moved really quickly.
    3
  10052. I would like to, but I'd really prefer to do it with an example in hand. So that will probably have to wait until I can visit personally.
    3
  10053. That's the KPV. This is 12.7x108.
    3
  10054. Not yet.
    3
  10055. (Tomorrow!)
    3
  10056. On the bright side, it was not reamed out for .348 Winchester.
    3
  10057. Good 07-15s are actually a bit tricky to find; a great many were destroyed in the war, and most of the surviving ones were converted to M16 pattern rifles.
    3
  10058. Yes, a bunch of them.
    3
  10059. No
    3
  10060. Because I don't own a fedora.
    3
  10061. Lol...I always put the guns back together, but what you describe is painfully accurate after shooting trips at Morphys...
    3
  10062. I know, crazy, right?
    3
  10063. I would do it if I had a proper dummy grenade.
    3
  10064. Yeah, field conversion means done by a unit armorer in his shop, not just some guy in a foxhole.
    3
  10065. Those books are about the M1 Carbine.
    3
  10066. The Italian MG42/59 is a different thing from the Rheinmetall MG42/59.
    3
  10067. We had a specific Kickstarter pledge for European shipping. When the books shipped from the printer, some went to Europe for those orders and some came to the US. The US ones have been sitting in the rail freight system for about 3 weeks, and just arrived at our US warehouse yesterday. The European ones arrived in France about a week ago, so they ended up shipping first. With the holiday today, I expect US orders will begin to ship Monday.
    3
  10068. I don't really think they are well suited for audio book treatment...
    3
  10069. Yep!
    3
  10070. Yep.
    3
  10071. I'm sure I will get totally unbiased historical information from Che Guevara.
    3
  10072. That's how it is supposed to work.
    3
  10073. 8.4 pounds naked. Add 1 for the can, 2.5 (estimated) for the scope, and 1.5 for a loaded mag.
    3
  10074. Unfair is irrelevant. The NFA is unconstitutional, and should be nullified or repealed.
    3
  10075. No.
    3
  10076. Yes, they typically have a couple thousand lots in each auctions.
    3
  10077. Score is points minus time (rounded down to the next full second). Winner is the shooter with the highest total score.
    3
  10078. Stage rules required keeping one hand on the barrel.
    3
  10079. A drawer?
    3
  10080. They all sold on the day they were listed.
    3
  10081. stormtrooper616 Yes - and occasionally I actually win them. Most recently, I did a video on the Type 30 Arisaka in the last regional auction and wound up winning it myself, much to my happy surprise.
    3
  10082. One of the previous collections that housed a bunch of these guns highlighted serial numbers that way to make things easy to inventory, I believe.
    3
  10083. No, closed bolt.
    3
  10084. I will be bringing this up with MagPul at SHOT Show next week. Also FAMAS Pmags. And Chauchat Pmags. Major untapped markets here.
    3
  10085. +Blackpowder Burner Yes, but I don't know when.
    3
  10086. Yeah, probably
    3
  10087. +SporadicallySane Considering how well this went, I will certainly keep it in mind...
    3
  10088. +swiss Looks like it! I'm making my reservations right now...
    3
  10089. +swiss It will be posted on YouTube tomorrow. It goes up on Full30 first because I made an agreement with them to post material there before it comes to YouTube.
    3
  10090. Standard 9x19.
    3
  10091. +Nordern Yep, eventually.
    3
  10092. You are moving the whole assembly, so the distance between front and rear sight does not change.
    3
  10093. Here's a video for you to start with: Last Ditch Innovation: The Development of the Gerat 06 and Gerat 06H Rifles
    3
  10094. No.
    3
  10095. I am not aware of any footage showing one of these on an M20. I do agree that it would be awesome to see one on a properly long range, firing the spotter and then the 106mm.
    3
  10096. Yep. For no discernible reason.
    3
  10097. A semiauto rebuild, yes.
    3
  10098. Energy of a .22 long, not velocity.
    3
  10099. No, it is not a firearm.
    3
  10100. When you turn the switch to off, any remaining charge in the capacitors is discharged to heat.
    3
  10101. Possibly, but at the cost of a whole new barrel. This was only justifiable if the conversion was relatively inexpensive.
    3
  10102. Sure - you can find new guns on my blog every day. :) Just not video that often...
    3
  10103. Once a week, every Monday.
    3
  10104. I'm not sure, but I suspect it would not close with the safety on. Unfortunately, I didn't check at the time, and I don't have regular access to the gun.
    3
  10105. I didn't notice much difference with stripper clips, although I didn't put very many rounds through it. I think the bolt design would aid ejection, though, because there is a lot more open space for empty cases to get out.
    3
  10106. It is gas operated. We have some disassembled photos of it over in the Vault at Forgotten Weapons.
    3
  10107. You probably saw a ZB-26/ZB-30 light machine gun mag - they hold 20 rounds and will interchange with the ZH29 10-rounders.
    3
  10108. Cost, mostly.
    3
  10109. Regarding "battle rifles", the term is very recent. I believe the first place I saw it used in print was Boston's Gun Bible. It's a term developed by folks looking for a way to distinguish .308 semis from .223/7.62x39 semis. Not that I have any problem with that - but the folk popularizing it weren't thinking about how a St Etienne might fit the terminology.
    3
  10110. +TheOtherShell Yes, they did.
    3
  10111. Three hundred and thirty nine.
    3
  10112. I am on the waiting list, and will definitely do a video when I get one!
    3
  10113. Wounded Knee took place 15 years before this was invented.
    3
  10114. There wasn't really a need to convert it, because the Chatellerault 24/29 was introduced long before WW2. The whole hundred-pound rifle-caliber HMG concept was out of date by the 30s, except for a few holdouts like the US M1917A1 and the Vickers in British service.
    3
  10115. Dummy round made with real case and projectile.
    3
  10116. They are both rifles, and I have videos on both coming.
    3
  10117. No, that was added by a collector at some point. Pretty commonly done thing; usually not paint but rather wax or other removable marking material.
    3
  10118. Laugo Alien
    3
  10119. C’est un fusil MAS 223 - le FAMAS commercial et semiautomatique
    3
  10120. The civilian model did not have the grenade launching parts.
    3
  10121. We don't know yet.
    3
  10122. I have no idea, and have appealed it with YouTube.
    3
  10123. Never.
    3
  10124. Not MP5 vs UMP, but here's part 1 of three on Ken and Larry Vickers comparing the M3 to the UMP:https://youtu.be/_4VQU4J5u6c
    3
  10125. I put it on myself; didn't consider the potential of it being turned off like that.
    3
  10126. Some of the steel was unintentionally set heavy in this match.
    3
  10127. Unless you are Clint Eastwood?
    3
  10128. The world signing tour stretch goal only comes on books I write myself. :)
    3
  10129. +wastedangelematis It only looks that way because these videos were all filmed in the span of a couple days.
    3
  10130. No, they aren't (unfortunately).
    3
  10131. No, but you never can predict what his haircut will be... :)
    3
  10132. We genuinely appreciate constructive criticism like this (you're no the first person to raise some of these issues), and we are going to do out best to address them in future episodes. The goal is to have each one better than the previous. Thanks!
    3
  10133. We bought them at the same time in the same shop in Reykjavik...
    3
  10134. +Morenn I agree.
    3
  10135. It's a schutzen type of grip. Totally wrong for WWI, although they did exist at the time. Schutzen is a type of rifle competition done standing up with single-shot rifles. The idea with that front grip thing is that it drops low enough that you can rest your left elbow on your left hip, hold the left forearm perfectly vertical (bone support for the rifle; more stable than muscle), and hold that grip in your left palm. This was a very popular sport at the turn of the century, but it is dying today. Photo example of a schutzen rifle with one of those front grips: http://media.liveauctiongroup.net/i/14389/14554131_1.jpg?v=8CF9A3B5AD8B9B0
    3
  10136. +francis_bear Yes, really :)
    3
  10137. The battle you are describing sounds like the Battle of Apache Pass, near the later site of Fort Bowie. It's also an interesting incident, and we've visited the site. The Apache were pretty much indiscriminately anti-uniform (be it blue or gray) by 1862 or 1863, and who can blame them?
    3
  10138. Started using the Luger drum because that's what was available, and then switched to box mags as soon as the war ended. The Luger drum existed as a kludge to get more ammo into an existing gun with a long single-stack magazine well.
    3
  10139. In very limited numbers, and they are a major PITA to run.
    3
  10140. Those drums were reliable, but heavy, prone to damage ion the field, awkward to carry, expensive to produce, and really awkward to reload.
    3
  10141. +acr2121 It's up to the consignor. They will accept offers for a couple weeks after the auction, and then the consignor can choose to accept one of the offers, leave it for the next auction, or take it back.
    3
  10142. Yes, introduced later.
    3
  10143. +Strelok88 That's not uncommon, actually.
    3
  10144. Yup, it's coming.
    3
  10145. They Type 100 bayonet was not used on the SMGs, it was for paratrooper Type 2 Arisaka rifles.
    3
  10146. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJdv5uTtFJ8
    3
  10147. Nah, that's just from someone putting it back together wrong long after the testing was done. However, the fast that it CAN be easily assembled wrong is a significant problem with the design, IMO.
    3
  10148. If anything goes wrong, you don't want to be in the turret. And plus, while it may look underwhelming, having your arm in the way of that recoiling breech will really give you a bad day. It's one thing for a trained crew to do it; quite another for random folks every day. Last year a very similar gun had a catastrophic explosion in an M18 Hellcat and killed the two people in the turret.
    3
  10149. When I can find one, I will.
    3
  10150. Spend less and get a Walther P1, it’s the same gun just made postwar
    3
  10151. Alas, I forgot about that one.
    3
  10152. +Blech319 You can fit a lot more data in a small space using English than using kanji. This was common in Japanese engineering before the war.
    3
  10153. +Bo Huggabee Originally they has rubber eye cups, but must of them are brittle or gone today.
    3
  10154. I will see if they want to send one for a review...
    3
  10155. Blank firing adapters.
    3
  10156. +ranji kawanji Here's a good overview: http://www.smallarmsreview.com/display.article.cfm?idarticles=1973
    3
  10157. +Neil Harris Yes, it would be fine for a lefty.
    3
  10158. No.
    3
  10159. I see you did not watch the whole video... ;)
    3
  10160. DOE guards nuclear reactors and nuclear material transportation. We want them to be armed well.
    3
  10161. Yep, that's the plan - just haven't gotten around to doing it yet.
    3
  10162. Sorry - I'm still working the kinks out of some new gear.
    3
  10163. +Ricky Stober Sure - admin@forgottenweapons.com
    3
  10164. Alex Smith I think the end cap on the barrel shroud unscrews, and the knurling is there so you can grip it.
    3
  10165. It's a Finnish military surplus shirt whose actual name I can't recall.
    3
  10166. This match is intended for backup CCW pistols, which are often carried in ways that are not safe on the range (shoulder, ankle, pocket, etc). The swap is done so people can go through the motions of drawing from whatever style of holster they normally use.
    3
  10167. I really don't find it to be a significant handicap at all.
    3
  10168. I did have loaded chargers (in my ammo belt), and used them during the stages (generally not visible on camera because the cameraman was behind me). I didn't have a lot of loaded chargers, and wanted to keep them in reserve, so I was loading loose rounds at the beginning of each stage, when not on the clock.
    3
  10169. Thanks!
    3
  10170. Nope. Still doesn't offer enough benefit to justify the cost of replacing the M4.
    3
  10171. +RogerRevo That is correct - when we were filming this I wasn't planning to publish the safety runthrough so he didn't need a mic.
    3
  10172. https://youtu.be/P0BkPwY6_18
    3
  10173. No, those were guns made for the bigger .50 HV cartridge.
    3
  10174. I touched lots of them. :)
    3
  10175. Yes, that is one I did a specific video on.
    3
  10176. George Fosbery was a British gun designer, best know for the Webley-Fosbery automatic revolver.
    3
  10177. No.
    3
  10178.  @RobinP556  I mean between those two I would say give this a try. That said, all standard Clockwork Basilisk books have not shipped yet; they are going out every day but we are only about 50% through the orders. I can't speak to the US book issue, except to say that if you mail us at info@headstamppublishing.com we will do whatever we can to correct problems. There are inevitably some delivery issues in a large project like this, and we do our absolute best to resolve all of them.
    3
  10179. We have really good packaging for these - if it arrives damaged, please tell us and we will make it right!
    3
  10180. USMC guns were in the US volume...
    3
  10181. Yes, we will have one on the UK
    3
  10182. https://youtu.be/8d-AQsHY1_c
    3
  10183. Barney Fife.
    3
  10184. 2-Gun match videos have been on this channel since before InRange existed. https://youtu.be/FfeTsE4EDaM
    3
  10185. If you have an American printer in mind that is willing and able to do a project like this, email me at ian@headstamppublishing.com . We looked hard for one and found nothing.
    3
  10186. You can update your address by logging in here: https://warlords.backerkit.com/
    3
  10187. Oddly, Arming the Dragon was subjected to much stricter scrutiny than Pistols of the Warlords, and the Chinese government wanted us to make a bunch of changes to it. Fortunately, because AtD was a much smaller and simpler book we were able to move it to a US printer without too much trouble.
    3
  10188. Everything will be shipped together per customer (except the posters; they need to go in mailing tubes and not the regular boxes).
    3
  10189. +Nonii 92 Yes
    3
  10190. That's an easy one - second models have a safety lever in the trigger, and third models don't.
    3
  10191. Fugly? These got nuthin' on the EROP guns...(which are coming)
    3
  10192. In addition to, not instead of.
    3
  10193. Floatplane has no such restrictions.
    3
  10194. Not right now. Once I know how to coordinate that, it will be a perk of every Floatplane level.
    3
  10195. Yes, that video is coming.
    3
  10196. Not feasible, sorry.
    3
  10197. Ludwig Loewe (the guy who started the company) was Jewish.
    3
  10198. It's filmed, just not sure when it will publish yet.
    3
  10199. It does, and we appreciate it!
    3
  10200. Thanks - glad you enjoyed it!
    3
  10201. It's a combination of guns, ammo, and travel expenses, plus basic things like food and bills. I can't dedicate the time to do this (planning, filming, editing, etc) and maintain a full-time job, so this endeavor needs to pay some bills in order to be feasible.
    3
  10202. Thanks! Let us know what you think of the first episode.
    3
  10203. That's an M11A1 machine pistol with a Lage Max-31 MkII upper. The first segment of the show is a detailed review of it.
    3
  10204. Take a look now - the video may have gone up a couple minutes before we saved the page changes.
    3
  10205. The others that have been used (although not as primary standard rifle) were the 1878 Kropatschek (Steyr) and the SIG 540. Please lots of use of American weapons including the BAR, M1 Carbine, and others.
    3
  10206. Only that the non-Collector books in the bundle get these extra features (the Collector books were always going to have them, plus more).
    3
  10207. Haven't done on on the AVS-36 yet, but it's certainly on the list.
    3
  10208. No, closed bolt.
    3
  10209. Lot of LMGs were very effective with 20-and 30-round magazines. The Bren, for instance, and the BAR in its many variations.
    3
  10210. I use the flag from the time and place where the gun was adopted or designed. For South Africa, pre-94 designs have this flag, and post-94 ones have the new flag.
    3
  10211. I have not tried it, but I do not think that would be true.
    3
  10212. The estimates are at the end of the description text on Julia's page.
    3
  10213. As far as I have been able to tell, the parts were in fact interchangeable.
    3
  10214. +Lappmogel There was some experimenting with closed magazines, but nothing was put into mass production.
    3
  10215. +tbobay The one firsthand source I know of is a guy who has repair and reactivated a dozen or so of them, and he said he has not had any problems with parts not fitting.
    3
  10216. +karm42yn Belgian M90.
    3
  10217. Guess that explains what you know?
    3
  10218. Too powerful for a blowback action.
    3
  10219. Yep, all the comments will be visible when it publishes.

  10221. That is YouTube being YouTube.
    3
  10222. Yes, I traveled to the Julia auction house (in Maine) to film this.
    3
  10223. It comes from the French "carabine", so while both pronunciations are correct, "car-bean" is most similar to the original.
    3
  10224. Fixed it.
    3
  10225. Tens of thousands of psi in the barrel. All guns do that when you watch them in slow motion.
    3
  10226. Not if you want to see the sights...
    3
  10227. Much too heavy.
    3
  10228. The M14 was intended to replace the BAR, Garand, and Carbine.
    3
  10229. Yes.
    3
  10230. 30. If I said 10 in the previous video, it was in error.
    3
  10231. And a 10-round .50 Beowulf mag just happens to nicely hold 30 rounds of 5.56...
    3
  10232. Absolutely.
    3
  10233. Just over 25% of our sales are outside the US.
    3
  10234. That's in the works...
    3
  10235. No idea - I've never seen an Airsoft version of one.
    3
  10236. The last couple originals that sold at auction in the US went for $40k-$50k.
    3
  10237. I'm sure it *could* be done, but I can't think of anything it would do better than the other operating mechanisms out there.
    3
  10238. No, semiauto only.
    3
  10239. bukueOner Check back this summer - I'll be running a reproduction VG1-5 through a 2-gun match. Although I can already tell you that it  is inferior to almost every other selfloader by almost every measurable standard.
    3
  10240. Jankiel Wiernik
    3
  10241. He is wrong, I have friends who had had detonations in tube magazines, and there are several military trials reports documenting it as well.
    3
  10242. Ian MacLean They ordered them because someone figured that any guns were better than no guns - and then they did the testing on the first handful received and found them unsuitable for any role.
    3
  10243. Keep in mind that it was tested by both the French and US armies, and both rejected it. The design originated in 1913, and it was probably ordered before it because really clear that it was not a viable design for modern combat.
    3
  10244. Actually, it seemed reasonably sturdy...
    3
  10245. Akm72 I don't think they used the exact same projectiles, simply because different factories were making the different type of ammo. But they were the same size projectiles, and they could be interchanged today,
    3
  10246. Actually, it's shell is a bit larger than the Renault's. That was a 37x94mm; the Bethlehem gun used 37x136mm.
    3
  10247. We discuss this tank's history here: https://youtu.be/cctAGNcW4lc
    3
  10248. Too be clear, they did not pay me; they paid Battlefield Vegas and got me a hotel room.
    3
  10249. Just for the camera (lighting).
    3
  10250. Pedersen is a more fun gun to shoot; Johnson is definitely the better military contender.
    3
  10251. 8x57
    3
  10252. To help you grip the slide.
    3
  10253. My source for that is Skennerton and Stamps, who are widely accepted as reliable and authoritative sources. If you have better information, I would definitely like to see it.
    3
  10254. +Lachlan Jones It looks kinda pointless to me.
    3
  10255. +lorrylemming It recoils much like a pressure washer.
    3
  10256. +Jake Martin Yes, I have a degree in mechanical engineering technology.
    3
  10257. No.
    3
  10258. It's an arrow showing how far to retract the slide for disassembly
    3
  10259. Yup. :)
    3
  10260. Correct.
    3
  10261. Same rifle; same handguard too.
    3
  10262. We used to offer it; we will again soon.
    3
  10263. Nope, definitely not. YouTube will demonetize videos with 30 round magazines now.
    3
  10264. Finnish M04
    3
  10265. Otto Noizebarriers
    3
  10266. I have already shipped it to Finland for Finnish Brutality.
    3
  10267. Yes, .45-70.
    3
  10268. +pfootball6363 .45-70
    3
  10269. +j0nthegreat The 1889 Schmidt-Rubin magazine is not detachable, and is later than the 1879 Remington-Lee.
    3
  10270. +Robert Thomas It stiffens the magazine body and acts as a guide for the cartridge rims.
    3
  10271. Just a question of which unit the country in question used.
    3
  10272. The thumbnail picture is from when the site first opened, and they had a different paint job on the barrel.
    3
  10273. Actually, the experiences of the Boer War led to a dramatic improvement in the British military, placing a priority on individual marksmanship that was not matched by any other military on the planet. It also led directly to the adoption of the SMLE. When the British Expeditionary Force went to war in 1914, it was by far the most skilled force man for man. The didn't save it from grinding destruction by artillery, but while it lasted it could outfight any similarly sized opposing force.
    3
  10274. Because it's aimed by math.
    3
  10275. As I say (pretty clearly, I thought) in the video, I did those welds myself. And I am not a welder.
    3
  10276. Yes.
    3
  10277. That's my welding, not theirs.
    3
  10278. As I say (pretty clearly, I thought) in the video, I did those welds myself. And I am not a welder.
    3
  10279. Thanks!
    3
  10280. Mission accomplished! :D
    3
  10281. Honestly, I think there is less of that now than a century ago. We have a lot more transparency today than ever before.
    3
  10282. I haven't actually tried, but I'm sure it will not.
    3
  10283. Yep.
    3
  10284. True.
    3
  10285. They switched to the Type 54, which was simpler and cheaper to make.
    3
  10286. It's in a private collection.
    3
  10287. Sorry - I have no control over the ads.
    3
  10288. Right now, 8mm Kurz is both more available and cheaper than 9x19.
    3
  10289. The 1968 Gun Control Act prohibited importation of live machine guns, and the 1986 Firearm Owners' Protection Act prohibited manufacture of transferable new machine guns (so it couldn't be demiled and then rebuilt here in the US).
    3
  10290. The US officials liked the .308 caliber, but not the rifle design. It was too complex, and really would have been a bad choice (IMO).
    3
  10291. KE did a limited run in FDE; Brownells does still have some in stock.
    3
  10292. Finnish M04 desert.
    3
  10293. Yes. Anyone with one was welcome to use it.
    3
  10294. IIRC, they are Daniel Defense.

    3
  10298. He tried several different ejector designs that failed to work well before he arrived at this one.
    3
  10299. It's literally a hand-made custom piece - he could make it in any caliber you like. But if you want to really optimize the suppression it would need to be subsonic, and 10mm would be less punch than .45.

    3
  10304. +Pprokop87 Any leftover ash will be blown out the barrel.
    3
  10305. +Pprokop87 It would combust when you fired - nothing left to pull out.
    3
  10306. +Ahri Man Usually means I made a verbal slip. I usually try to leave enough silent space to make the transitions clean, but sometimes it doesn't quite work.
    3
  10307. A lot of fancy and high-end guns are purchased and then never used, instead being carefully stored away.It happens today, and it happened a century ago (and longer).
    3
  10308. Thanks!
    3
  10309. As long as you are willing to tolerate the occasional hiccup from a new platform, Utreon would be the best for me. Thanks!
    3
  10310. Yes, they are all there.
    3
  10311. Those are all videos that I have uploaded for early access supporters, but which have not published yet. I generally try to keep my material ready 2-4 weeks in advance.
    3
  10312. Yes, both Android and IOS.
    3
  10313. Yes, I do not plan to stop uploading to Floatplane. But it's a basic backup only, not a full-function video platform.
    3
  10314. The only videos you can't watch for free are the ones that have not published to YouTube yet. I upload well in advance of publication, and those videos are available to early access subscribers. On YouTube you can't see those videos, but on Utreon you can.
    3
  10315. The M14 uses a different gas system.
    3
  10316. When I get interested in a topic, I tend to go really deep into it. And there is currently no English-language reference on this subject, so I figured I ought to do it myself.
    3
  10317. It's about 50/50. This one was provided by the publisher.
    3
  10318. "fnh" was the German code for the CZ factory; no relation to FN of Herstal.
    3
  10319. It was not supposed to post until next week.
    3
  10320. Trigger reset.
    3
  10321. No.
    3
  10322. We demonetized InRange, but not Forgotten Weapons.
    3
  10323. I know, so am I!
    3
  10324. The breech face of a Glock slide is shaped using a broach, which leaves unique markings on each gun. A forensic examiner would indeed bas able to correctly match cases to the guns they fired them.
    3
  10325. Look on Amazon and you tell me. Yesterday you could get a copy there for $47.
    3
  10326. Yup
    3
  10327. I will be shooting the April 2-gun match with it.
    3
  10328. Yup.
    3
  10329. Because that's worse than either semi or full.
    3
  10330. You're thinking of McKinley, and that was done with a .32 Iver Johnson.
    3
  10331. You can watch some Forgotten Weapons compilations on Amazon Prime.
    3
  10332. I haven't seen one in person, but I do have a video coming on a pair of British Lorenzoni-pattern pistols coming in about 2 weeks.
    3
  10333. Karl is wearing a repro German WWII sniper smock (from IMA). It's a really nice piece of kit, actually!
    3
  10334. +Aka Dufine I have already done videos on about half of those...
    3
  10335. No, Hiram Maxim was an American.
    3
  10336. Yes.
    3
  10337. The Marines were still using the 1903 Springfield when the Johnson went into service; they didn't have M1 Garands.
    3
  10338. Not that I am aware of. Some info can be found in the Collector Grade book "Mauser Pistolen".
    3
  10339. Doesn't have to, but certainly often does.
    3
  10340. Sure, that's the SP5K, and was introduced a couple years ago.
    3
  10341. It's a complicated and stupid law. But yes, putting a normal stock on is illegal but putting an arm brace on is fine.
    3
  10342. It should actually be fairly simple.
    3
  10343. That gun was not original; this one is and has several different details as a result.
    3
  10344. Talk to YouTube.
    3
  10345. Which I explain at the end of the video.
    3
  10346. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyG6vobtUeI
    3
  10347. This one is nice, but I'd take a 38A over it.
    3
  10348. Cameraman is a tripod.
    3
  10349. Yes, they all had red dots.
    3
  10350. It's because of YouTube's policy.
    3
  10351. Is that German with a Canadian accent?
    3
  10352. You will.
    3
  10353. Yes.
    3
  10354. Yes, definitely. Not sure when, though.
    3
  10355. The pictures were around well before the game.
    3
  10356. Prototype stampings were often done basically by hand.
    3
  10357. They are organized basically by nationality.
    3
  10358. It was basic PPU .30-06 ball - but the US didn't issue special ammo for the 1903A4.
    3
  10359. +canadian riot Looks cool; not really sure I need one. Of course, I'm not a huge shotgun fan in the first place...
    3
  10360. Sorry, but no - I don’t have any with me
    3
  10361. We can do PayPal now too! :)
    3
  10362. A spike like the Lebel, but with a locking system like the artillery/1892 Berthier.
    3
  10363. YouTube policy.
    3
  10364. The President could repeal it at any time by executive action.
    3
  10365. Yes, both.
    3
  10366. Indeed!
    3
  10367. The next part of the mud testing we do will definitely include an AK.
    3
  10368. That particular rifle was the only one I was able to find whose owner was foolish enough to loan it to me for this project. :)
    3
  10369. I worked as a bartender for several years and have done some home brewing. I am pretty familiar with distillation, so I just needed to get some of the specific details about this particular operation before filming.
    3
  10370. No
    3
  10371. Yes.
    3
  10372. That's the actual handle part of the charging handle. Being plastic, it doesn't get uncomfortably hot or cold, and doesn't have sharp edges that can cut you.
    3
  10373. They were made in 7.5 French (7.5x54mm), and cost $450-$550 or so. Century also converted a bunch to .308, and those tend to be about $100 cheaper, because they generally don't run well (several problems with the conversion process).
    3
  10374. Yes, I do.
    3
  10375. Bien sur; c'est français.
    3
  10376. Yeah, that would be accurate.
    3
  10377. German WW2 Guns volume 2 is in the works right now...
    3
  10378. It was donated to the range (I don't know by whom), and is now a prop available to all the different matches that shoot there.
    3
  10379. Some Patreon supporters get early access to videos.
    3
  10380. The older sporting cartridges generally have exemptions from ATF.
    3
  10381. NormanMatchem Marion Morrison was John Wayne's birth name.
    3
  10382. Heinemann.
    3
  10383. It is indefinitely delayed on account of war and embargo.
    3
  10384. This is a T&E gun for review and return. But we will see about getting one permanently... :)
    3
  10385. Yes, absolutely.
    3
  10386. That's an M27, a Lebel trials rifle in 7.5mm. It looks like a detachable magazine, but isn't actually detachable.
    3
  10387. It’s a lot more cost effective to make very high quality tank munitions than millions of high quality small arms cartridges.
    3
  10388. +NormanMatchem Ironically, that Lee-Metford mechanism was invented by a naturalized American, James Paris Lee. I have two videos coming up on the 1879 and 1885 Remington-Lee rifles that were the predecessors to the British Lee. IMO, every .30-.32 caliber rifle cartridge of WWI and WWII was overpowered for individual rifle use, and so I would actually prefer to have the "weaker" ones, given a choice.
    3
  10389. Sorry, but I didn't have time to do a video on that one. Next time!
    3
  10390. It did, but never really took off. I think the biggest contract for them was from the Mexican Army, and they are extremely rare today.
    3
  10391. Yep, this is definitely something I have been thinking about. I don't want to make any commitments at this stage, though.
    3
  10392. It's packed away and inaccessible right now, sorry.
    3
  10393. 8 year
    3
  10394. Berets look good and keep hair out of my eyes.
    3
  10395. Machine guns are not subject to barrel length restrictions.
    3
  10396. Machines guns are not subject to barrel length regulations.
    3
  10397. Barrel length is not regulated on machine guns. So the machine gun stamp overrides the need for and SBR stamp.
    3
  10398. Talk to your local shooting range, and ask what events they host. Then attend one of those events just as an observer to see if it looks fun, and to see what gear you will need.
    3
  10399. My family emigrated from Kilmartin in Argyll (Scotland) about 1700. Not by choice, but from being sentenced to Transportation after a failed revolt against the government.
    3
  10400. No, it's pretty much just me.
    3
  10401. Finnish M05
    3
  10402. Yep.
    3
  10403. "Was that all?"
    3
  10404. It is not true.
    3
  10405. 🧐
    3
  10406. Yes - one in front of the bipod and three behind it.
    3
  10407. 8.6 Blackout
    3
  10408. I just looked it up on Ammoseek before replying
    3
  10409. I have them; just didn't bring them out for this trip.
    3
  10410. Nope, no saguaro cactus in Australia. :)
    3
  10411. Nothing. Two different terms for the same thing.
    3
  10412. +Omnihil777 Nope, I only speak/read English. But sometimes the only references available on things are in other languages, so I get hte books and then work my way through using photos, deduction, and Google translate.
    3
  10413. Probably not.
    3
  10414. https://youtu.be/vkprsBoImRg
    3
  10415. That's what DWM named it when they designed it.
    3
  10416. Objectively speaking, it was the US rifle with the shortest service life in the country’s history. Even the Krag was in use longer.
    3
  10417. Because it was the only 7.62x51mm rifle available to Shughart in 93.
    3
  10418. Sure is!
    3
  10419. Because they are the same gun.
    3
  10420. That's a shot timer, for scoring.
    3
  10421. 1989 assault weapons import ban.
    3
  10422. We have lots of MAS 49/56 rifles in the US.
    3
  10423. No, but I did shoot a Hakim in one of them.
    3
  10424. They have one for the MAS 36, but not the 49/56.
    3
  10425. Not yet...
    3
  10426. The standard Vickers K, yes - but not this conversion.
    3
  10427. Vickers K guns, yes - but not in this configuration.
    3
  10428. +Paul Fabrique In those days people were more concerned then necessary (in retrospect) about the problems that would be caused by drilling gas ports in barrels.
    3
  10429. https://youtu.be/PtWEBcIP09E
    3
  10430. Yep
    3
  10431. A Grec camera.
    3
  10432. I know! But we didn’t have the hardware to attach my nods to one.
    3
  10433. Nope, no prizes
    3
  10434. Youtube no longer allows full auto shooting without age restricting videos. Semiauto is still okay - for now.
    3
  10435. Mamba.
    3
  10436. Yes.
    3
  10437. All my Patreon supporters (from $1) get completely ad-free videos in their email each morning. www.patreon.com/forgottenweapons
    3
  10438. Clearly you wouldn't, so don't worry about it.
    3
  10439. Haha - the first one was the shorts trailer for the full video :)
    3
  10440. They made a fake selector switch for a couple magazine articles, but never did a real one.
    3
  10441. Considering there was play in the mount (which matched the change in POI) after but not before, I think it's safe to say that the mount was the issue.
    3
  10442. That's a standard AK74 muzzle brake.
    3
  10443. Not yet, but who knows?
    3
  10444. That pattern was built experimentally, in fact. The Bren is a much better design internally though.
    3
  10445. Nobody knows - it was not recovered (nor was Gordon's carbine).
    3
  10446. It is nothing like the actual WW1.
    3
  10447. https://youtu.be/dmYUoG9S-y4
    3
  10448. The Lebel and the 07/15 Berthier are both the same length, and with a bayonet they are both taller than I am. Could have been either one. By 1918, it would most likely have been a Berthier, although it is unusual that an American unit would get French rifles. Machine guns, yes - but not normally rifles.
    3
  10449. I am sticking to just French designed and made types - so it won't cover the SIG 540, HK 416, Remington Rolling Block, or the plethora of surplus American guns used in the Franco-Prussian war and during/after WWII.
    3
  10450. My mother made it for me.
    3
  10451. Just a flash hider, like on the DP
    3
  10452. It doesn't.
    3
  10453. Un jour, mon français sera assez bon pour faire des vidéos en français.
    3
  10454. Sitting on.
    3
  10455. You are thinking of the 1914 Hotchkiss segmented belts. As far as I can tell, this did have a cloth belt.
    3
  10456. I have several coats of a brownish color.
    3
  10457. Read the description
    3
  10458. +Toby Wood We deliberately coordinated these two videos :)
    3
  10459. +Emil Hajbert I posted some photos on the Forgotten Weapons Facebook page...
    3
  10460. Look at the sight. The yard markings go to 2000; the meter markings end at 1000. I know that 2000yd is not 1000m.

  10461. Not much different from when everyone was buying flavors of Mauser 98 a hundred years ago
    3
  10462. Yes, still working on it.
    3
  10463. From a military perspective, it's not a wholly bad idea. It gets rid of an extra control, and simplifies the manual of arms.
    3
  10464. Nineteen.
    3
  10465. Yes, it can be loaded with stripper clips.
    3
  10466. +Martin Nourry Interesting question - without being able to shoot both a bit more extensively, I'm not sure.
    3
  10467. 7.65mm Mannlicher.
    3
  10468. No, it does not include the ACR program. The ordering link is in the description.
    3
  10469. MonkeyMasher1 Yes.
    3
  10470. Touche
    3
  10471. There's nothing secret about it - Chinese development is obvious all over the island.
    3
  10472. I have not, but would love to.
    3
  10473. Well, we certainly wouldn't want you to get bored! It's healthy to explore new experiences, you know.
    3
  10474. I suspect the reason it has little new content is that many of the guns it featured came form the collection of Robert Faris, who died a few years ago.
    3
  10475. The audio in my video here was kludged together; recording it coming out of my speakers. The original videos are much better.
    3
  10476. Sock-O.
    3
  10477. There is an entrance fee, but it's open regular hours to the public.
    3
  10478. No differently than at any other time; the NFA transfer time has been 6-9 months for many years now.
    3
  10479. +AngryVeteran85 It's not a tiny grip, it;s a really big action.
    3
  10480. I am excited about it as well, but you should keep in mind that because of the length of time for an NFA transfer, I will probably not have the gun in hand until early 2018...
    3
  10481. Alas, when I visited Oberndorf they wouldn't let me see any of the CAWS prototypes.
    3
  10482. That is different, and only applies to rifles.
    3
  10483. The Swedes prototypes a belt fed one, but it didn't go any farther. For the US, the belt-fed role was the M1919A6.
    3
  10484. That's just a worn detent spring; not something that normally happens.
    3
  10485. Braveheart Fighting Arms I am willing to endure great suffering to bring my audience cool guns.
    3
  10486. +Benjamin Reed No, it's a Zrak.
    3
  10487. I used 1970s Portuguese FMJ.
    3
  10488. ***** He said that because I didn't come all the way out form the barricade, I just went far enough to shoot from the far side.
    3
  10489. Isaac Lewellen I should add that one of the match designers shot this month with, in fact, a PTR-91 and took 8th place. You should go for it, especially if you keep the PTR as a "go-to" gun for any reason.
    3
  10490. It is! 2-Gun Action Challenge is my favorite match.
    3
  10491. I plan to use them both eventually. The Carcano will actually do pretty well for a bolt gun, I expect.
    3
  10492. I had a .308 Vepr many years ago. I never owned it and the M76 simultaneously, but based on my memory of the Vepr I would take the M76 if I had to choose just one. The Vepr isn't bad, but the M76 is more comfortable (my Vepr had a thumbhole stock) and I like its longer barrel and flash hider. Also, the availability of steel mags.
    3
  10493. It is a tough one.
    3
  10494. Unfortunately, no - I have family plans for the holiday.
    3
  10495. If it's a specific question about an order (like changing your address), use info@headstamppublishing.com . If it's a more general question, use admin@forgottenweapons.com .
    3
  10496. They start shipping this week. :)
    3
  10497. The first ones will go out today, I believe - but we do have a lot to process through. Christmas should not be a problem.
    3
  10498. The second volume, which I have just finished the first draft of, is about Soviet WW2 small arms.
    3
  10499. Yes, but no ETA yet. It's still in the writing stage.
    3
  10500. Handguns of the World by Edward Ezell
    3
  10501. The secret is no vacations. :)
    3
  10502. +Steven Trostle Twice - once to familiarize myself and a second time after I took it apart on camera. :)
    3
  10503. +Sean C Yep, I did. Videos are coming on the Simson and the Nambu, as well as a bunch of Walther pistols.
    3
  10504. +Seth Gordon 8x57
    3
  10505. +Jay Friberg I agree on all counts. :)
    3
  10506. Everyone copies everyone else's weapons.
    3
  10507. In a 9mm pistol, bullet weight does not make a significant difference. A .45 will definitely spin it in fewer shots, though.
    3
  10508. I do have these: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9e3UCcU00TRIeypXC53S8r81DZRvoXmu
    3
  10509. Putting the recoil spring assembly on top means less obstructions in getting the magazine to feed into the chamber. We've got that really well sorted out now, but the FN 1900 was a very early design before most of today's communal knowledge about this sort thing had been figured out.
    3
  10510. Firing the gun would melt the water, should it freeze.
    3
  10511. I'm in the process of getting one from them to film.
    3
  10512. Sort of: https://youtu.be/HsRUMLE9ZQ8
    3
  10513. Me personally? No. But I would love to be involved in such a project.
    3
  10514. Nice! I would love to visit sometime...
    3
  10515. That one was made between 1922 and 1934 - apparently the factory no longer has records on pistols 247151 through 318500, so I can't be any more specific than that.
    3
  10516. My best advice would be to hang out with people who do what you're interested in. The important part is developing relationships with people - breaking into the profession of "blogger" is extremely easy; it's making a living from it that's tricky. :)
    3
  10517. Subtitles can be turned off by clicking the little "CC" button at the bottom of the player window.
    3
  10518. They were converted to 91/30 configuration. The original M91s that still exist are mostly examples that went to Finland early and thus escaped conversion. The ones made in the 20s stayed in Russian and became 91/30s.
    3
  10519. +Cole Pennock Too late, you're like the fifth guy. Better luck next time! :)
    3
  10520. +Matthew Moss They were ordered in late 1914, after the war began.
    3
  10521. +eric3844 Cool!
    3
  10522. I apologize, I have no control over the ads that are run.
    3
  10523. The Beretta 34 and 35 pistols were excellent as well.
    3
  10524. Yes.
    3
  10525. You thought wrong.
    3
  10526. Ross MkIII
    3
  10527. Yes, eventually.
    3
  10528. Shellshock1918 It didn't really seem necessary, so I decided to leave it out. I figure if you're clicking on the video you know what it's going to be, so an intro sequence didn't really do anything useful.
    3
  10529. Anyone is welcome to bypass stage elements that they aren't able to complete. There is a score penalty, but at our range at least we are happy to have people participating even if they are old farts. :)
    3
  10530. It's a bit hard to see in this footage, but the gun is pointed off at the side berm. That was very clearly covered in the stage briefs (which are not in the video).
    3
  10531. Same physical dimenions, but Tokarev ammo is loaded hotter than Mauser or Borchardt.
    3
  10532. The Owen does use regular spring-loaded magazines; not sure why you think it doesn't. As for penetration and ammo capacity issues, I think 9mm is a fine overall compromise.
    3
  10533. Nope. In addition to being different shapes, the Owen magazine includes its ejector, while the Sten ejector is mounted on the receiver tube.
    3
  10534. Yes, the sights are offset to the left.
    3
  10535. +Joonas Kanerva They are all bottom-ejecting.
    3
  10536. +Adam Very effective.
    3
  10537. I actually had a bit of a cold when I filmed this...(which was about a month ago)
    3
  10538. Yes. Find for street signs and menus; useless for technical language.
    3
  10539. +polymath7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhRoaISinwA
    3
  10540. Ah, it's a museum exhibit. Not for sale.
    3
  10541. It's too heavy.
    3
  10542. It was a prototype gun; if it had been put into production elements like that would have changed.
    3
  10543. No, unfortunately.
    3
  10544. +elektro3000 Loaded mag, empty chamber.
    3
  10545. That's a Howa AR-180.
    3
  10546. How shall I slay the hun, with dust on my book shelf!?
    3
  10547. The other is a Steyr Mannlicher 1905.
    3
  10548. Yes.
    3
  10549. I did get a wireless mic, but I used the condenser mic for these videos. Perhaps not the best choice, but I'm still learning.
    3
  10550. Some of the worst examples are European, like the Imperial War Museum in the UK and the Danish War Museum.
    3
  10551. As the title image says, this one was in 8mm Lebel. You can easily identify the .30-06 ones because they use a mostly-straight magazine instead of the semicircular mag of the 8mm Lebel guns.
    3
  10552. It can be swapped between left and right side ejection in about 60 seconds; no extra parts needed.
    3
  10553. There were a small number made for commercial sale to police and security organizations, and this is one of them.
    3
  10554. The FAMAS. I've be too nervous to shoot the FG lest it break.
    3
  10555. I filmed the slow motion separately, on unlimited auto.
    3
  10556. He chose not to come - you'd have to ask him why.
    3
  10557. I take my kit, but I borrow plates from Varusteleka.
    3
  10558. https://youtu.be/3ba-TyDyKZ4 ;)
    3
  10559. Yes, I've seen several. I haven't had the chance to make a video on one, but I do have a manual and photos on my main web site.
    3
  10560. If you're willing to send me one you own, I would be happy to shoot it for the video...
    3
  10561. Nope.
    3
  10562. https://youtu.be/gJp7a_muHs0
    3
  10563. The Owen would have taken #5 if not for the Skorpion being in there.
    3
  10564. Nope.
    3
  10565. Not bad for the style of revolver shooting that was in vogue at the time.
    3
  10566. No, it's a different cartridge.
    3
  10567. Me too; but I only had 10 rounds to work with.
    3
  10568. Definitely .280, or a current ballistic equivalent. I can get an AR in 5.56.
    3
  10569. Just what we were able to arrange on relatively short notice.
    3
  10570. No, it wouldn't work. There may not be a spring involved, but the opening stroke does have to extract and eject the case, and there's not much mass in the slide to try to whip forward or back.
    3
  10571. HR127 would be an unmitigated disaster, but I think it is extremely unlikely that it will be passed.
    3
  10572. Not in any significant way, no. A few niche businesses cater to NFA stuff, like people who make NFA trusts, but there is no inflationary impact with short barrels like there is with machine guns.
    3
  10573. Yup, true. I did not think of that during the stage, unfortunately.
    3
  10574. Thanks!
    3
  10575. +TheBulap It's not easy to do unintentionally - you have to push the button in a fair distance.
    3
  10576. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/category/forgotten-weapons-merchandise/2852
    3
  10577. You do get a stat bonus for having the complete set.
    3
  10578. I can't know everything. :) Thanks!
    3
  10579. Grayman & Co aviators
    3
  10580. Sorry, but I can't - I'm in Vegas for SHOT.
    3
  10581. You are describing advanced primer ignition, which is not really a factor in typical open bolt submachine guns. I will cover it in a later video.
    3
  10582. Shapers. Basically a fixed vertical or horizontal spindle with a specially made contoured cutter to make a specific cut on the part. The production line for a gun would involve potentially hundreds of such tools. A block of steel would go into the first machine, and by the end of the literal production line of machines, it came out with all major operations done, ready for whatever hand fitting was needed and then finishing.
    3
  10583. Lots of people pointed that out. Every rifle in that first trial was a select-fire action in .30 Carbine, so they all would have been - but none were adopted, so they weren't. The US considered guns that would have qualified as "assault rifles" as far back as 1917 at least.
    3
  10584. You can call it whatever you like.
    3
  10585. It looks to me like you can, but I don't have an SBR'd KP9 yet so I haven't tried.
    3
  10586. I have no bias against Spanish arms. I've done lots of videos on other Spanish guns; you are welcome to check them out. But even the best countries and companies sometimes make crap, and those late-production M43 snipers are unequivocal crap.
    3
  10587. Even the traitorous Elbonia defense minister couldn't pitch this as being good.
    3
  10588. Danners; I forget the name. They are excellent.
    3
  10589. Nope. Technically, it's Gerät 06H, without parentheses.
    3
  10590. Because the sidewalls of the bullet were not strong enough. The soldi front end would break off and go downrange, leaving the hollow cylindrical tail of the bullet stuck in the barrel.
    3
  10591. This is actually the last one for this series.
    3
  10592. The majority were British guns made in .303 Brit, but there were also ones made in .30-06, 6.5 Dutch, and other chamberings.
    3
  10593. I would take the Bren with box mags, or the Lewis with drums. The Bren 100-round drums are really finicky - there is a good reason they weren't put into widespread use.
    3
  10594. Yes.
    3
  10595. A private collection in Finland.
    3
  10596. I don't have access to one right now, but I should be able to find one without too much trouble.
    3
  10597. Thank you!
    3
  10598. Imagine posting felonies online to an audience of millions - that’s the real big-brain move.
    3
  10599. Colombian
    3
  10600. Just rifles, for this series.
    3
  10601. Yes, it probably would have been.
    3
  10602. I have videos coming on both the 1896 and the 1888.
    3
  10603. +Sandro Bruni Very rare.
    3
  10604. Yes, the 1888/90 Mannichers use a pivoting wedge to lock.
    3
  10605. A little bit each.
    3
  10606. I understood about 40% of what he said before our translator put it into English for me (I edited out those segments).
    3
  10607. Plot twist: Ian's been married to Mae the whole time?
    3
  10608. M1918 BAR.
    3
  10609. Nick Galbraith Some day I will get the chance to do video on a Pedersen Self-loader, and we'll be able to see the same sort of thing.
    3
  10610. Es la verdad. :)
    3
  10611. It's actually a sticker on the wall :)
    3
  10612. Lonewolf SWE Yes, it uses the standard 6.5x55.
    3
  10613. +Joe Yes, the repro scopes will fit original mounts (that's exactly what I have, actually). It may not zero well, but it will fit. FWIW, the British No.32 scopes are worth more than the rifles, and the guy was probably able to make more money by splitting the two up, especially if they weren't a matching pair.
    3
  10614. +Joe I did not - the Enfield is a legit sniper with its scope once fitted by H&H, and the Mauser uses a mount that fits to the rear sight block without drilling.
    3
  10615. Starr I am both left hand and left eye dominant. It makes for a bit of a handicap with many milsurp rifles, but that's just how things are.
    3
  10616. 2-Gun Action Match, July 2013 (M1 and SVT-40)
    3
  10617. A shot timer, to keep score.
    3
  10618. We wanted to see how the ZF41 performed in match conditions.
    3
  10619. I am aware of one incident where a guy shot a fellow trooper at point-blank range with one like it was a paintball marker. It was fatal. Just because it doesn't explode doesn't mean it's not dangerous.
    3
  10620. The rails added to the bottom for the hammer.
    3
  10621. Sort of...I will have a video on the 7.62mm Minimi in a couple months, hopefully.
    3
  10622. ***** Just from a physics perspective, I'm pretty confident that is hooey. Also, I've seen video of guys in Afghanistan take a hit to the helmet and not die of a broken neck. Concussion would be the actual potential result.
    3
  10623. +Armageddon2077 I don't know yet.
    3
  10624. +Mikhail Blagodarov I typically put them in whenever I get something good on camera.
    3
  10625. Yup.
    3
  10626. They are proprietary.
    3
  10627. No, it was outside for a couple hours.
    3
  10628. Because basically nobody use the cartridge except Russia, and Russia isn't looking to buy foreign-made small arms.
    3
  10629. It was a lot easier to make a reliable and durable gun with a low pressure round than a high pressure one. This is why self loading military rifles came around many years after self loading pistols.
    3
  10630. No, not the worst designed at all. It's not a really great concept for the gun, but it is designed pretty well within those constraints. It's pretty simple, and probably quite reliable.
    3
  10631. Nope, no firing pin safety or mechanism to de-cock it. As long as the slide is back, the firing pin is being held back, ready to fire.
    3
  10632. Yeah, it's definitely not a gun I would want to shoot every day.
    3
  10633. Working on it - I didn't have my slow-mo camera with me when I did this video.
    3
  10634. I don't know.
    3
  10635. Actually, Fort Vaux is one that I have filmed already as well. :)
    3
  10636. I have a video about the Storm Bridge that I will be posting eventually...
    3
  10637. The outer ring is required to support the cartridge bases.
    3
  10638. No, the Luftwaffe was formed in 1935.
    3
  10639. zendell37 I can't explain the German thought process at the time, but they did make left- and right-side boxes, which were not interchangeable.
    3
  10640. From Webster's: gun noun \ˈgən  \ Definition of gun (Entry 1 of 2) 1a: a piece of ordnance usually with high muzzle velocity and comparatively flat trajectoryb: a portable firearm (such as a rifle or handgun)c: a device that throws a projectile
    3
  10641. That is true of virtually all guns when seen in slow motion.
    3
  10642. Sure, there were prototypes and catalog options offered. But the short barreled FAMAS was never produced or adopted in significant quantities, unlike all the other bullpup rifles.
    3
  10643. A couple months, in my experience.
    3
  10644. https://youtu.be/m6edCducKSI
    3
  10645. "Deadliest Warrior" is not exactly objective, or in any way interested in actual facts.
    3
  10646. +Angus Rankin I just happen to have more of it that other stuff.
    3
  10647. +Kim Janek I don't expect there would be any significant difference in this sort of test between a brand new AK-103 and an original Type I AK-47. The relevant issue (access points for mud ingress) didn't change.
    3
  10648. You've never fired a gun, have you?
    3
  10649. Correct, sorry!
    3
  10650. Yes, that was the intention. It doesn't have a manual safety.
    3
  10651. I would recommend contacting the auction company directly.
    3
  10652. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hkmc0o8uVk
    3
  10653. No.
    3
  10654. Walt Lars It's not a big deal. You just put "NSN" (no serial number) on the 4473 form. There are tons of old .22s and shotguns that don't have serial numbers.
    3
  10655. Did you watch the video? I discuss the recoil a fair bit, and the things the rifle design does to mitigate it.
    3
  10656. We do have to watch for snakes at the range, but the video was taken in December, when they were all well into hibernation.
    3
  10657. Yes, these were originally made in 7.92x57mm Mauser.
    3
  10658. It has been illegal to make new machine guns since 1986.
    3
  10659. No, the mag didn't get in the way.
    3
  10660. Price is $4995, same for either .308 or 8mm.
    3
  10661. Not really any different than for a righty. You pretty much have to take the rifle off the shoulder to reload, so left vs right doesn't make a difference. If anything, the location of the charging handle makes it easier to use as a lefty.
    3
  10662. No, I'm in Arizona.
    3
  10663. I never have gotten the hang of bump firing, and didn't try it with the FG42.
    3
  10664. I'd be happy to, if I can get my hands on one. I do have access to a couple authentic BM59s, and I've been planning to cover them as well.
    3
  10665. Yes. The originals fired form a closed bolt on semiauto and from an open bolt on full auto - these repros are semiauto only, and use a closed bolt.
    3
  10666. The FG42 was a compromise; it could do many jobs reasonably well, but it could not do any single job as well as a specialized weapon. The Army wanted to move to 8x33 for rifles, so it adopted the MP43. The MP43 made a better rifle than the FG, and the MG34 and 42 were much better machine guns than the FG. The Luftwaffe needed something like the FG because they couldn't jump with MG34s or 42s in hand.
    3
  10667. +William Hayden Nope.
    3
  10668. Technically, the proper name for the cartridge is 7.92x57mm, but in the US it's often referred to as 8mm Mauser.
    3
  10669. I saw that; it's actually 9 magazines (I think)
    3
  10670. The Type 94 is really not dangerous to the user, and semiautomatics pistols are specifically not allowed in Cowboy Action (with the exception of the 1911 in Wild Bunch side matches).
    3
  10671. +Jeff Smith Yup. A 1915 pattern and a 1926 pattern.
    3
  10672. +Jay Raxter The issues with the Type 94 are much overstated. It take a lot more than a bump to fire them, and that can't happen with the safety engaged, which is how they would have been carried anyway. And they are better guns than the Type 14. As for the AR forward assist, it's not a particularly useful or necessary device - far more likely to make a problem worse than to fix it. If normal spring pressure on the bolt won't seat a round, you have a problem that needs to be fixed, and trying to force the round into the chamber will generally not help.
    3
  10673. +Southerngunner 87 Between those two, probably LWRC. But I'm not really interested in having a piston-driven AR in the first place.
    3
  10674. Brethren calls it the BA-300.
    3
  10675. All HK rifles are the same platform to begin with, so it's just a matter of nomenclature and magazine well.
    3
  10676. That's a loop for towing the gun.
    3
  10677. They disabled the ejectors to prolong case life.
    3
  10678. Child Like A bit over 20k each.
    3
  10679. An RSC-1918 carbine would be nice. :)
    3
  10680. Just wait until I get to Denmark.
    3
  10681. I promise to do a video for you if I can ever get my hands on one! :)
    3
  10682. No, actually.
    3
  10683. The stock is a copy of the Chinese Type 56-2, but I took it out of an air rifle. The front end is a cut down Romanian G kit. Assembled by me on a Nodak receiver. It's a horrible abortion of a Krink (and the concussion is much better this way than when it had a Hungarian AMD brake on it). :)
    3
  10684. Yup, that's it.
    3
  10685. Yep, them.
    3
  10686. Nope.
    3
  10687. I expect it was in the original design.
    3
  10688. I have...but this video was filmed almost 10 years ago :)
    3
  10689. MsF4ucorsair Probably - I've never looked there.
    3
  10690. No, just English
    3
  10691. He didn't sell the patent, he licensed it.
    3
  10692. Typically with a double rifle, the barrels are regulated to hit the same point at a specific range, and you would zero the scope at that range.
    3
  10693. "Jap" is no more a slur than "Brit" - it's a contraction.
    3
  10694. Yes: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2013/05/13/enjoyable-gun-show-ages/
    3
  10695. Criticizing a long recoil gun for having weak ejection is a sure sign of a person who doesn't know much about how guns work.
    3
  10696. I cannot help your indoctrinated vocabulary. :)
    3
  10697. Yes, a bunch. In particular, early lever action "trapper" carbines. If you look up the ATF's C&R list, it has a whole section listing these exemptions.
    3

  10700. https://youtu.be/f3kComQz40o
    3
  10701. I'm already sending it to Finland for Finnish Brutality; it wasn't practical to ship it out for this match as well.
    3
  10702. Safety tag showing the gun has no firing pin.
    3
  10703. For complete coverage, I suggest TFBTV.
    3
  10704. They did, and an Ambi slide release too.
    3
  10705. No, I have not. Would like to!
    3
  10706. Yep. If you go look at Morphy's catalog, you can see it today... :)
    3
  10707. Yes, it is absolutely a marketing thing.
    3
  10708. Bulky yes, but complex? The Lewis mag only has a single moving part, and no springs. It's very simple.
    3
  10709. I'm sure it occasionally did, but not nearly to the same degree as the Chauchat. The Lewis' advantage is that the bottom of the mag is open, so the vibration from firing tends to shake dirt out of it.
    3
  10710. NormanMatchem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMKn3BBaC_U
    3
  10711. With a rimmed cartridge, your only practical options for large capacity feeding mechanisms are either belts or pan-type magazines. That way the rims don't interfere with each other. Hence, we see these drums made for the DP, Lewis, Bren, and AM-180.
    3
  10712. ***** The Lewis copy was the Type 92.
    3
  10713. There were no magazines to use with 54R.
    3
  10714. It's a relined 8mm barrel - the 7.9 stamp is still visible on the exterior of the barrel.
    3
  10715. I was there for six days, but have already returned home.
    3
  10716. Any modicum of Icelandic I have is entirely due to Jackson Crawford’s tutelage.
    3
  10717. Not commercially.
    3
  10718. Yup, I had to look it up myself to believe it. :)
    3
  10719. Hence me looking for some enticing extra milk to sell you. ;)
    3
  10720. Nope, not mine.
    3
  10721. No, I think you will need double that.
    3
  10722. https://murraysguns.com/french-mas-4956-firing-pin/
    3
  10723. Sounds like it either got jammed onto a dent in the ring, or rusted in place...
    3
  10724. It's a cock-on-opening action, so not as quick as an Enfield. The bent bolt handle is nice, though.
    3
  10725. I have a factory brochure/manual for the 1962 A-Carbine, although I haven't put it on the site yet (it'll be on my upcoming Rifle Manuals DVD). I saw one at the Pattern Room in Leeds, but didn't have the time to take photos or video.
    3
  10726. Yes, they are.
    3
  10727. Video games almost always make up their own gun names out of concern about trademarks
    3
  10728. You can occasionally find Fiocchi ammo. They haven't imported it for a while, because there just isn't any demand.
    3
  10729. To be honest, no. I have a bunch of guns that I think would be more interesting to do first.
    3
  10730. The barrel had been plugged and when it was drilled back open the work was done badly.
    3
  10731. I suspect it's because the Mauser stock was expensive and fragile.
    3
  10732. They all fit interchangeably in both AKs and RPKs, although only within calibers. You can't use 5.45 mags in 7.62 guns, or vice versa.
    3
  10733. That's a muzzle brake. Part of its job is to prevent the actual muzzle from touching the ground. It's working.
    3
  10734. +Mamurai I don't actually own one, but in my experience they are very good guns. I've not tried to make one malfunction, though...
    3
  10735. +Hughes Enterprises I have not looked really closely into the regulations surrounding this type of FFL, but I believe the standard is that the dealer/company must have a legit business standing, rather than someone paying for a license solely as a tool for collecting machine guns. If you have a legit business, though, there is no reason you can't also use the guns for other purposes.
    3
  10736. +Pitt Brad This one is a live machine gun; the previous video was a semiauto rebuild.
    3
  10737. Yes, it was.
    3
  10738. Marstar is permitted to have prohibits items.
    3
  10739. All of the goodies can be purchased as add-ons to any pledge level.
    3
  10740. My mother made it for me.
    3
  10741. Oops. Yup, you are right.
    3
  10742. I periodically shoot right handed to get better lighting or camera angle.
    3
  10743. +Sevenus The spur of the hammer is offset, but the firing pin is centered.
    3
  10744. +Burkhard Redeker Thank you!
    3
  10745. This particular one is. The design is originally Russian.
    3
  10746. Spuhr.
    3
  10747. It's fabric; it works fine both ways.
    3
  10748. +Timothy Pparkinson Its fabric; it works the same from both sides.
    3
  10749. Yes, actually. Pins, anyway, not specifically enamel.
    3
  10750. To be safe, I would register the gun as a DD if you planned to use it with anything other than smoke or flares.
    3
  10751. I think this is a perfect time to present rational, factual, and nonpartisan information on something that is of relevance at the moment to a lot of people.
    3
  10752. He came from the past in a time machine; it's true.
    3
  10753. That's just an illusion because of the geometry of the Martini receiver.
    3
  10754. +Hotshotter3000 You can buy Hi-Point today and see firsthand. :)
    3
  10755. +Xirlos Patent expire fairly quickly, not like copyrights. Virtually nothing I have ever videoed is protected by patents any more.
    3
  10756. +Zackery Olson Nope. It's very well-made, but it's a blowback 9mm. In 1929, I would say it was already outdated.
    3
  10757. Thanks!
    3
  10758. It's already distributed in the US, by AEA Arms.
    3
  10759. They are clearly people of superior taste and character. :)
    3
  10760. No, the fancy one worked fine without a magazine in place.
    3
  10761. Why can't you people just spell it that way then? :)
    3
  10762. They were working on one in 1918, but its development ended with the Armistice and they never found it necessary to develop. The most significant use was really in aircraft, and the Germans did a bunch of aircraft cannon work during WWII.
    3
  10763. That will be a separate video.
    3
  10764. I've been filming on the road for a week and lost track of what day it was. Whoops!
    3
  10765. Not at the same time.
    3
  10766. Split pins are fine, but not captive.
    3
  10767. Nope, never saw actual use.
    3
  10768. Yes, as long as you load to 9mm Glisenti spec.
    3
  10769. If people didn't actually fall for it, they wouldn't still be doing it.
    3
  10770. TANSTAAFL
    3
  10771. Modern sights are definitely better, but the PK-A is a reasonable "good enough" baseline. For the best solution, get an RS Regulate mount and your choice in red dots.
    3
  10772. It's legit. Gold Harbor does the compiling of those videos and deals with the Amazon process.
    3
  10773. I cover that in my video on the standard Mle 1886 Lebel.
    3
  10774. No.
    3
  10775. They were - but they were expensive, and did not sell well.
    3
  10776. The M38s were all made with standard rifling.
    3
  10777. Basically, no.
    3
  10778. The previous video was commentary only; this actually covers the history of the model.
    3
  10779. The notion that Carcanos were dangerous to the shooter is nonsense, old gun shop lore based on foolishness.
    3
  10780. Nope, not yet. Still checking, though...
    3
  10781. I plan to, but it will be a little while before I am able.
    3
  10782. https://youtu.be/sZ9IACssv2Y
    3
  10783. Yeah, I know. :(
    3
  10784. If I ever find one in person, you bet.
    3
  10785. It probably spent time in California at some point, and the owner removed the bayonet to be legal - and then lost it. This particular one is an entirely hand-made Vietnamese gun, so I can't just put on a proper factory bayonet; it doesn't fit.
    3
  10786. It's not a challenge if I tell you that!
    3
  10787. That's what they are, but someone else did the conversion - a couple of them came with the rifle when I got it.
    3
  10788. Not yet.
    3
  10789. That would be a safe assumption. :)
    3
  10790. Zilch, unfortunately. That example is missing its firing pin and firing pin spring.
    3
  10791. I appreciate the advice - I had to tinker with the sound in edited to get rid of some pretty bad hissing, and hadn't considered that batteyr life might have been a partial cause (I haven't had that issue before with this mike). I will move the mike farther away for the next video we shoot. Thanks!
    3
  10792. Cool - thanks for the update!
    3
  10793. An Argentine Sistema Colt with some modifications. I do have a Star in 9x23 that I like carrying as well, though.
    3
  10794. I'm comfortably numb to it. The only real problem is non-convertible bullpup rifles, and I just shoot them right-handed.
    3
  10795. If all goes according to plan, next week.
    3
  10796. Some, but not all.
    3
  10797. "Ians"
    3
  10798. A French Mle 1937 50mm mortar.
    3
  10799. Tomorrow is a Breda Model 30 LMG.
    3
  10800. "The Machine Gun" by Col George Chinn is a great resource, and it's available free online: https://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USN/ref/MG/index.html
    3
  10801. Yup!
    3
  10802. Scares the hell out of 'em.
    3
  10803. The bipod causes a significant change in zero.
    3
  10804. +Douglas Fulmer Yup
    3
  10805. You should come join us at the 2-Gun Action Challenge Match with that Mauser some time. :)
    3
  10806. So a man from Kirkwall meets a man from New Orleans...
    3
  10807. Mandarin and Cantonese are both tonal languages.
    3
  10808. I appreciate the input - do keep in mind that for this book, the title translation is primarily a decorative element - only a minuscule fraction of readers will speak Mandarin or Cantonese but not English. If we do a Chinese translation, the title we use will be much more literal.
    3
  10809. It's working now - the video went public before the associated blog post.
    3
  10810. Because western numbers are much simpler to use for larger sequential numbers. Same reason the Chinese and Japanese used western digits for serial numbers.
    3
  10811. The rear sight block prevents it from rotating, as it is effectively keyed to the front of the receiver.
    3
  10812. It was initially overrun by American troops, before being made part of the Soviet occupation zone.
    3
  10813. The current flag is the same as the Weimar flag, which is what was in use when this was designed.
    3
  10814. No, the HK53 with be in the third volume.
    3
  10815. Yes, it is, along with a couple other civilian US versions.
    3
  10816. It was cold out, so I wore a warm hat. I live in the desert; I don't have many warm hats.
    3
  10817. There is no need for anything more complex in an SMG.
    3
  10818. Packing tape dispensers.
    3
  10819. +GuyKappe Not yet, but I will be.
    3
  10820. +shmuelbrody Watch to the end.
    3
  10821. Yes.
    3
  10822. Yeah, Stribog is a copy of B&T.
    3
  10823. Yes - but it's actually just "AMP"
    3
  10824. Yeah, we missed that - it will be fixed before the books go to the printer though. :)
    3
  10825. Soon.
    3
  10826. We did visit HS, but they did not want me to film inside.
    3
  10827. You will get the link by email when the stream starts.
    3
  10828. Not a single specific chapter. I wrote some of the larger sections (which have my byline) and some of the shorter pieces of commentary (which are uncredited).
    3
  10829. The PPU FMJ is a good copy of the French service load.
    3
  10830. Did you actually watch the video?
    3
  10831. https://youtu.be/sPWJOJZQCs8
    3
  10832. I don't know of an online copy, but it was titled "Denkschrift über Machinenkarabiner", dated 17 November 1942, written by WaPrüf2.
    3
  10833. Goes to show there can be good arguments supporting something that is still the wrong decision.
    3
  10834. They don't perform better enough to justify the expense of changing.
    3
  10835. A 20-rounder was actually considered (as was a quad-stack 60), but they decided against it. I have not seen any reliably source suggesting the Hitler objected to the magazine length.
    3
  10836. Mostly the pistols.
    3
  10837. The ones I saw were all 8x50.
    3
  10838. No, it's correct.
    3
  10839. Look, if they wanted to be pronounced correctly they wouldn't be in Polish.
    3
  10840. Forgotten Weapons is not demonetized, only InRange.
    3
  10841. True, good point!
    3
  10842. For the deaf. You can turn them off if you don't want them.
    3
  10843. It's on my list...
    3
  10844. Fixed it - thanks.
    3
  10845. A major portion of the Cody Museum is the original Winchester factory collection, and Winchester bought out Henry.
    3
  10846. No
    3
  10847. Without the training from the Civil Guard, Finland's armed forces would have most likely collapsed and the country been occupied. By holding fast longer, they were able to secure a diplomatic peace that allowed Finland to retain its sovereignty.
    3
  10848. Random guys with rifles are the reason the United States is a county in the first place, but ok. :)
    3
  10849. The barrel is wrapped with greased asbestos twine where it goes through the barrel jacket. That is enough to create a watertight seal.
    3
  10850. I do book reviews every Sunday when I'm not running auction series'.
    3
  10851. No.
    3
  10852. Maxim-Tokarev
    3
  10853. I just use what comes out of the microphone. I don't have enough hours in the day to do guns and be an audio engineer.
    3
  10854. Yes, B&T bought the whole project from Steyr.
    3
  10855. Yes.
    3
  10856. "should", indeed
    3
  10857. Probably so they could use the original trigger guard assemblies.
    3
  10858. No, they are specifically exempted.
    3
  10859. Sort of...but not really. There were a bunch of iterations between the StG45 and the Spanish CETME.
    3
  10860. It spreads the recoil force out in the stock instead of letting it be concentrated at the point of the rear receiver tang. It doesn't reduce felt recoil at all, just reduces the likelihood of the stock cracking.
    3
  10861. Sig has always been a company there for the government contracts. Every one of their flagship products has been designed and produced specifically for a government, with civilian sales secondary. The P210 (P49), P220 (P75), 540 series, and 550 series. Sig in Switzerland today survives as basically just a maintenance depot for Swiss Army 550 rifles, plus a tiny bit of new production. Sig USA does orders of magnitude more sales of 320s, 365s, MCXs, and AR type rifles than they ever would selling new 550 rifles. The 550 appeals to a collector and nostalgia cohort (which I include myself in), but its not a market-competitive rifle today.
    3
  10862. Um, to some people...
    3
  10863. I should have just said chasseurs alpins. :)
    3
  10864. Manurhin's production license was simply a way for SIG to get around the Swiss prohibition on exporting military arms (and after Manurhin, the license when to FAMAE in Chile). And the AK is not based on the StG-44. Hasn't that dead horse been beaten enough yet?
    3
  10865. It was planned.
    3
  10866. Yup. Mine is deactivated though; has a big slot cut in the barrel.
    3
  10867. Current 40mm grenades have a rimmed case and must be loaded from the breech.
    3
  10868. The bipod is good for full-auto fire (I assume; haven't actually done that), but not great for precision shots. It's mounted right at the end of a relatively thin barrel, and will cause a significant amount of deflection (several inches or more at 100 yards). So I'd rather shoot without it than try to remember two different zeroes.
    3
  10869. +Don Corp Not specifically, but it works fine left handed.
    3
  10870. I think we're going to take a break from LMGs for a while (and the Bren is tricky to use in these matches because it was really not designed to be fired offhand). We do have some other cool ideas in the works for upcoming matches, though. :)
    3
  10871. Not in this series.
    3
  10872. This series is just on the rifles.
    3
  10873. No. If I see one more full auto VG1-5 with a red dot and front grip I will puke on my keyboard.
    3
  10874. 6.5x50 SR Japanese.
    3
  10875. sotijas In my personal collection? An 1869 Vetterli.
    3
  10876. 7hart2 That would be an interesting one to do...
    3
  10877. For a full auto FNC, that sounds like a reasonable price these days.
    3
  10878. Yeah, I didn't realize until after having done several guns that the camera position was poor. It will be better in a couple more videos.
    3
  10879. Yes.
    3
  10880. Never. It's more like the term "riot" was absorbed into the definition of "tactical".
    3
  10881. Yes, that's normal.
    3
  10882. Just haven't gotten to it yet.
    3
  10883. Tradition; nothing else.
    3
  10884. David M. The burst function on the M16 was intended to conserve ammo and increase effectiveness by limiting the ability to dump whole magazines. Only the first few rounds of shoulder-fired full auto are typically effective, so the idea of burst-fire mode is to limit the shooter to only those more effective shots.
    3
  10885. Yes.
    3
  10886. Those are dummy rounds.
    3
  10887. +J-P huard They are dummy rounds.
    3
  10888. It's scheduled to post in two weeks. :)
    3
  10889. Only the Shanghai Police version.
    3
  10890. That is a reflection of the "recording" light on my camera.
    3
  10891. David M. I think people who were honest and educated recognized that the GPMG concept was sounds and effective, but remember that the German infantry was built around having the MG as to main element. The US took a different approach, using the rifleman as the primary base of fire, supported by machine guns and other arms. Neither side could just change guns without needing to reevaluate their basic tactics at the same time, as the guns were developed to fill specific tactical roles. That said, both sides gradually moved towards each other as the was progressed, as evidenced by the M1919A6 and the MP44 and G43.

  10892. Yes it can, but there aren't any commonly available links for .303. Cloth belts for this are not difficult to find.
    3
  10893. This is a modification of a Vickers made into semiauto for the US commercial market by a third-party company.
    3
  10894. .303 British
    3
  10895. Some do have the front grip, and some do not. Romania made them both ways.
    3
  10896. Standard Vickers muzzle booster.
    3
  10897. They changed the bolt mass, recoil spring design, and buffer design.
    3
  10898. Several, but they are not written in English.
    3
  10899. +K.C. Rigney When issued, it came with a set of AA sights that clamped onto the gun high enough to see.
    3
  10900. Yeah, sorry about that - I was mistaken. They are sent folded, so as to fit inside the book.
    3
  10901. No, this one is not being printed in the US.
    3
  10902. I have several videos on the Volcanics...
    3
  10903. In no universe is a Jatimatic a better choice than, say, an FN P90.
    3
  10904. There will be one.
    3
  10905. They offer it with either a 5.56mm or 7.62mm BDC; I assume calibrated for the Minimi and the MAG.
    3
  10906. The Lafette mounts for the MG34 and MG42 did have optics on them.
    3
  10907. I have a video coming on the Drifa (including one of the box-mag examples), and also the other domestic Icelandic shotguns that preceded it. :)
    3
  10908. I filmed that; it'll publish in a few weeks.
    3
  10909. Sorry!
    3
  10910. You're right, my mistake leaving that out :)
    3
  10911. And to be fair, it did get him killed...
    3
  10912. Yep.
    3
  10913. Yes, I plan to.
    3
  10914. Yep, I will.
    3
  10915. Yes, they do. :)
    3
  10916. +Alberto Knox I watched it sell yesterday, and it went for $1400.
    3
  10917. Since there are St Etienne G3s, I could. :)
    3
  10918. Correct. Same with roller delay.
    3
  10919. A pistol system would put more weight at the front (balance was an important design element in the FAMAS, and it shows) and would make it more difficult to free-float the barrel.
    3
  10920. Danuvia 43M
    3
  10921. "L" is for Land Service.
    3
  10922. It wasn't supposed to public last week; I goofed.
    3
  10923. I have no objection to the forward assist. If you want it, get it.
    3
  10924. I took a whole lot of money, but H&K successfully polished this into a respectable combat rifle.
    3
  10925. I have one, actually...
    3
  10926. No, because the normal carrier requires a normal mainspring, which won't fit a collapsing LC stock. If you replace both the bolt carrier and stock assembly, you have reverted the gun back to normal L configuration.
    3
  10927. Metabas are around, but scarce because they were not imported for very long. They are on my list to cover in a video.
    3
  10928. The LC bolt carrier only works with the LC mainspring, which only works with the LC collapsing buttstock.
    3
  10929. This was mostly the result of people not cleaning cosmoline out of the firing pin channel.
    3
  10930. Full auto is still posted for Patron as well as being on the app
    3
  10931. I am at a match this morning; I will get this addressed when I get home this afternoon
    3
  10932. Yes, that is next.
    3
  10933. Yes, in a couple days.
    3
  10934. I did not get the new one, simply because I only have space for one in my office.
    3
  10935. The two loadings used the same case and had the same overall length.
    3
  10936. It's the same cartridge, the Finns just rounded differently and got a different number.
    3
  10937. If I used a semiauto, it would have been an MAB P15.
    3
  10938. Karl is posting several videos about it on InRange.
    3
  10939. Yes, he does. Shot an M70, M76, and PHP for the match.
    3
  10940. It is a pretty crippling disability I struggle to get through the day with. ;) Well, until someone puts an AK or an M1 in my hands.
    3
  10941. Yep, it is. The match is the third Saturday of every month.
    3
  10942. He was helping test a rifle from GWACS - that video should be up soon. Dropping the gun, running it over with a Jeep, doing push-ups on it, and shooting it with another rifle all while running the match stages.
    3
  10943. Nothing specifically to prepare for the match, but I do run and do Crossfit a couple times/week.
    3
  10944. MrDaveinAB You should start a match like this up there!
    3
  10945. We did adopt the FN MAG, it just took a little while.
    3
  10946. My ultimate goal is to be able to do a video series on French rifles, in French. :)
    3
  10947. Sorry, Jonathan! I was thinking along the lines of Collector Grade level of detail.
    3
  10948. Yes, I know - my grandfather was clan genealogist for many years.
    3
  10949. I would note, Lawrence, that your concern is exactly what H&K was solving when they designed the P7. Have you looked at those?
    3
  10950. Yes we do, although it is expensive.
    3
  10951. If it weren't French, it would still be the best military bullpup ever adopted.
    3
  10952. You don't normally get a video on Thursday at all. :)
    3
  10953. I'll call that bluff...just posted our SVT winner on IG. https://www.instagram.com/p/C3Gd_9LSV2o/?img_index=1
    3
  10954. Yes, I promise :)
    3
  10955. Four-Shot Superposed Ratchet Pistol at RIA It is also listed in the print book "Firearms Curiosa" by Winant.
    3
  10956. Heh - I sometimes bid at the regional auctions, but these Premier ones are well above my means. :)
    3
  10957. I believe there are 26 transferable ones in the US.
    3
  10958. That was filmed in Poland.
    3
  10959. Yes, it is.
    3
  10960. The receiver can be used with barrels in 5.56, .300 Blk, 7.62 NATO, or 6.5 Creedmoor.
    3
  10961. Both the G1 (FAL) and G3.
    3
  10962. It's fun.
    3
  10963. Two in Europe (Lynx and Finnish) and a bunch in the US.
    3
  10964. That is a DVD of firearm manuals that I sold for a while.
    3
  10965. +Daniel Ketchum There isn't much published information on them. I will do a proper video when I can find an intact one.
    3
  10966. 8x58
    3
  10967. The Carbine fires a 110gr bullet at 2000fps, while the Kurz uses a 125gr bullet at 2250fps. The Kurz was developed from 8mm Mauser, while the Carbine round came form the Winchester 1905 and its .32 WSL round, which in turn was very similar to the rimmed lever-action and revolver .32-20 round. In short, you're correct.
    3
  10968. Actually, I was only thinking about African colonies.
    3
  10969. Because I would filmed a new video at home with it.
    3
  10970. SOTs cannot legally possess unregistered guns, nor can they register existing guns that are not already in the registry.
    3
  10971. http://www.a-human-right.com/jewsfight.html
    3
  10972. Yes, they are both long recoil systems.
    3
  10973. Yes, the .22LR. Also the .22 Magnum, .17 HMR, and .17 Mach II.
    3
  10974. The flag of the United Arab Republic is the same as the current Syrian government flag.
    3
  10975. If it was jut a naming convention difference, they would have used a .355 bullet and called it 8.8mm Makarov.
    3
  10976. That hypothetical round is called 7.65x20 French Long :)
    3
  10977. Thanks! I'll put those in the description; didn't think about it when I was posting the video.
    3
  10978. FWIW, I have a video on Schlegemilch's design: https://youtu.be/eA_luQyL9K4
    3
  10979. A lot of big and impressive collections have come up for sale in the last few years.
    3
  10980. Reading books, shooting, and listening to people who know more than I do.
    3
  10981. Open-bolt guns don't have a round in the chamber when not firing.
    3
  10982. Yeah - I filmed this several years ago, when my French was much worse.
    3
  10983. No, because it wasn't actually used in the war.
    3
  10984. Just skip straight to 50s on the aircraft. :)
    3
  10985. That is true. In competition, we enforce various safety rules that would not necessarily be relevant in a gunfight.
    3
  10986. CETME-LC
    3
  10987. That probably means very few are being manufactured, because demand is low.
    3
  10988. Yup.
    3
  10989. I have no plans to stop uploading to YouTube.
    3
  10990. Utreon is better for me, but not all the same perks are available there yet.
    3
  10991. I check every one I come across. :)
    3
  10992. They are just missing. They were included on the early 99s, but were one of the elements dropped first in the name of increased production and decreased cost. Additionally, a lot of them were discarded by GIs after being captured.
    3
  10993. Because of what I'm posting tomorrow.
    3
  10994. What would explain the dominance of the AR over the M1 and M1A at Camp Perry?
    3
  10995. You will; I have a disassembly video coming in a few days.
    3
  10996. It is in the Collector Grade book "Sturmgewehr".
    3
  10997. If I could arrange a good side-by-side comparison, I would - and the Bren would almost certainly win. It's a much better overall gun than the BAR.
    3
  10998. I plan to do both; just need to get my hands on good examples of them.
    3
  10999. That is a myth.
    3
  11000. Have you actually tried shooting a gun with a top-mounted box mag?
    3
  11001. Just wondering if you've ever actually tried it, or are just hypothesizing about what might work or not work.
    3
  11002. The sights are offset to the left of the magazine.
    3
  11003. +Mike Berg Taiwan experimented with a Bren in .30-06...
    3
  11004. BRno + ENfield. The Sten is Shepard + Turpin + ENfield.
    3
  11005. Yes, I know.
    3
  11006. Yes, we all know that would be inevitable. Glad you liked the video though!
    3
  11007. +Chris D Unless you hit the engine block, lots of guns can shoot through both sides of a car, and anything in .30-06 will do the job.
    3
  11008. 50TNCSA I don't, but it would be a good topic to cover on my main web site...
    3
  11009. No.
    3
  11010. Yeah, I need to cover the Thompson (both semiauto and full-auto varieties) eventually. Not sure when it will happen, though.
    3
  11011. Well, this is actually a video I recorded prior to getting the new gear - but I don't plan to make fundamental changes to the format, just improve the videography. INTJ.
    3
  11012. +aznmarty256 No, it was just less error-prone for me than trying to get two or three and fumbling them.
    3
  11013. +Michael Smith The 1887 was shooting black powder shells.
    3
  11014. +Kaos Wylie It was all Federal birdshot - they had red, white, and blue shells packaged together.
    3
  11015. +MsBeguine How on earth you get fear, uncertainty, and doubt from that video?
    3
  11016. +xorising One of them actually did, although it wasn't on video. :)
    3
  11017. I like Hawaiian shirts. It is hot in AZ, and they are comfortable. Don't read too much into it.
    3
  11018. The guns were purchased privately, not through governments or manufacturers.
    3
  11019. To clarify, the guns were purchased from a dealer in Hamburg, but shipped from Kiel into the Baltic. Why they did not take a shorter route into the North Sea I don't know.
    3
  11020. To clarify, the guns were purchased from a dealer in Hamburg, but shipped from Kiel into the Baltic. Why they did not take a shorter route into the North Sea I don't know.
    3
  11021. That's just an alignment mark to ensure the barrel jacket (and sights) haven't rotated.
    3
  11022. I actually have one filmed, just not published yet.
    3
  11023. No, he is not related to me.
    3
  11024. The Army is in the process of replacing all the FAMAS F1 with HK 416F rifles. I'm not sure what the Navy's plans are for the G2 though.
    3
  11025. Good to know, but my point remains: GIAT did not produce a civilian version. I wish we could convert guns like that here in the US!
    3
  11026. The ejection can be reversed.
    3
  11027. Yes, I filmed this a while back. I have a FAMAS Commando video to post form the trip as well :)
    3
  11028. Yeah, my mistake - this was an export pattern one.
    3
  11029. 7.62x39
    3
  11030. It would only fire once.
    3
  11031. When this gun was made it was called Rhodesia, so that's the name I use here. I do the same for all countries that have gone by different names at different times (Russia/USSR, Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic, etc).
    3
  11032. I filmed this in South Africa, not in the US.
    3
  11033. Bummer!
    3
  11034. It's unique to the Hakim.
    3
  11035. The M1. Not doubt at all.
    3
  11036. It's been this length for a while - IIRC it took a year and a half or so to originally grow out.
    3
  11037. +Danilo Nakazone If they are in good condition, yes.
    3
  11038. The C&R list includes a list of guns exempted from the NFA, which includes the relevant stocked pistols: https://www.atf.gov/firearms/curios-relics
    3
  11039. Right, the Type I is a bolt action. Honeycutt lumped it in with the unusual rifles (like the semiautos) at the tail end of the book, though.
    3
  11040. Clean living. Wait, no - that's not it... :)
    3
  11041. Try again tomorrow, I guess?
    3
  11042. The high speed camera doesn't record audio...
    3
  11043. I have a friend who owns one and has ammo for it, but I haven't been able to arrange a time to get out to visit him and take it shooting.
    3
  11044. The 7.62x25mm cartridge has a littler bit of taper to the body, so when you stack a bunch of them up they form a curve.
    3
  11045. Sorry, I have no control over the ads.
    3
  11046. https://youtu.be/mSH9VvQAvog
    3
  11047. The .300 Savage is actually hotter than .35 Rem. In the 180 grain loadings, the 300 is running at 2350 fps and the 35 is at about 2150 fps.
    3
  11048. Korea, Vietnam, and endless numbers of brush wars.
    3
  11049. It very well might be; it's not all that different from standard rimfire tube magazines.
    3
  11050. The cover opens automatically when the flint hits it.
    3
  11051. It's generally used in aircraft, and not reloaded in the air.
    3
  11052. No reason except that these guys haven't gotten around to it yet.
    3
  11053. Couple thousand rounds.
    3
  11054. Correct; there is no manual safety except the power switch.
    3
  11055. No, not really. The game thing of keeping the barrels spinning and then using a separate trigger to fire is not real.
    3
  11056. No, they were in 7.65mm Parabellum - 7.65x21.
    3
  11057. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXAMma6mUq8
    3
  11058. The addition of the 9mm option was independent of these mechanical developments (both calibers were model in both 1900 and 1906 model guns), and there is really no difference between guns in the two calibers except bore diameter.
    3
  11059. Addendum, the reason 7.65 is 21mm long and 9 is 19mm long is that they had to maintain the same overall length for both cartridges to fit in the same frame and magazine, and the 9mm cartridge used a longer projectile.
    3
  11060. The 7.65mm was first, and 9x19 was just that cartridge necked up when the German military wanted something bigger. After the introduction of the 9x19, Lugers were offered and produced in both calibers simultaneously, although the 9mm was more popular.
    3
  11061. Most people and militaries opted for 9mm, but if you wanted to buy one or a few thousand in 7.65mm DWM would be happy to oblige.
    3
  11062. Each barrel shoots to a slightly different point. If you set the front sight on each barrel individually, then you can change barrels and have a perfect zero without having to touch anything.
    3
  11063. The 9x19 barrel were made new.
    3
  11064. My answer to this would be too prejudiced by how much I like the 1907 Roth-Steyr.
    3
  11065. Yes.
    3
  11066. The HK-style PTR rifles are, but their StG-44 repro was made in Germany.
    3
  11067. A volley gun is one round per barrel. This continues to fire multiple rounds from each barrel with a single trigger action. There's no specific term for this system, but I think machine gun is closer to the mark than volley gun.
    3
  11068. Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver
    3
  11069. No, I really don't think so. That would require a camming surface to unlock the toggle, which would have been on the inside of the slide (and isn't there).
    3
  11070. For the buyer, yes - but they don't have one at RIA.
    3
  11071. Lens cover.
    3
  11072. I just cut out the unload procedure because it’s not interesting. I do that on all my match videos.
    3
  11073. Yes. Gen 3 don't on my gun in this video because it's the second one in the test run. The end of the test run (~#40) they were all dropping free just fine.
    3
  11074. Not when there's a brand new WWSD to to use!
    3
  11075. There isn't enough time. It takes weeks or months to process an export. We will be sending some WWSD 2020 rifles over there when they are ready, though.
    3
  11076. That was the original plan...
    3
  11077. It’s lighter, stronger, cheaper, and simpler than an aluminum receiver with stock, grip, and buffer tube.
    3
  11078. Yes.
    3
  11079. Correct, there is not. The first pattern FGs had stamped metal stocks; the second pattern had all-wood stocks.
    3
  11080. Not tiny, but it is small.
    3
  11081. $5500
    3
  11082. The second pattern FG (which I have here) added a brass deflector that the first pattern did not have.
    3
  11083. He is still in business, and the 1st pattern FG reproductions will be shipping soon. But yeah, his web site is horrid.
    3
  11084. Yes, they would be.
    2
  11085. +Spiz103 No, it happens so fast you don't notice it.
    2
  11086. It is mine, at least until I find a buyer for it.
    2
  11087. Cryptonomicon is one of my favorite books.
    2
  11088. iatsd, can you provide any documentation of that? Despite what a lot of people apparently want to believe, these guns do not have circulating water systems.
    2
  11089. No, they changed barrels regularly in that firing extravaganza. Not because they got hot, but because they got worn out. Barrel life on a Vickers is about 15000 rounds, depending on how fast you are shooting.
    2
  11090. Yes, I love Cryptonomicon. Are the stick is the rear sight. Goes out to 2800 yards.
    2
  11091. Ammo came preloaded in cloth belts, although guys did sometimes reload them. This gun is set up to use Russian PKM belts instead, though.
    2
  11092. Whoops, I did leave out the intro music!
    2
  11093. The .22 Long is the same length cartridge case as the Long Rifle, just with a lighter bullet. That won't chamber in this revolver, as both the case and the OAL are too long for the cylinder.
    2
  11094. This reproduction is closed bolt to meet ATF rules; the originals were open bolt.
    2
  11095. As in, it hurts badly but that is not why it is effective.
    2
  11096. I did not mean to suggest that it doesn't hurt, but rather than pain is not the reason why it works.
    2
  11097. The Federal government provides military surplus to police departments for free, in general.
    2
  11098. I did not mean to imply it doesn't hurt; but rather than it isn't dependent on pain to function.
    2
  11099. I did not mean to imply that it doesn't hurt, but rather that hurting is not the mechanism by which it works.
    2
  11100. "The most common compounds are known as chloroacetophenone (CN) and chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile (CS). " https://emergency.cdc.gov/agent/riotcontrol/factsheet.asp
    2
  11101. I did!
    2
  11102. Yes, the bolt really doesn't get hot like the barrel does.
    2
  11103. Just a trick of the camera. The two receivers are the same.
    2
  11104. In my opinion, yes.
    2
  11105. If you're on Facebook, you can see this one of the box I found for my Frommer (which is practically identical to Roth-Sauer ammo): https://www.facebook.com/ForgottenWeapons/photos/pb.259844964077954.-2207520000.1417351626./604469659615481/?type=3&theater
    2
  11106. I don't think so, although I'm not an expert on that sort of question.
    2
  11107. The .32 was still relatively new when these were made, and they may have wanted to hold a monopoly on the ammo production.
    2
  11108. Yes, they have.
    2
  11109. "It's my estimation that every man ever got a statue made of him was one kind of sumbitch or another."
    2
  11110. Yes. It is offered as a 12" SBR in 8.6mm, and a 16" regular rifle in 6.5 CM and .308 Win.

  11111. Says the guy whose channel is 100% videos of him pretending to kill people?

  11129. On French rifles the date is when the barrel was manufactured, and does not represent a model designation.
    2
  11130. I think I would say the m/45 was better.
    2
  11131. +Rickinsf No.
    2
  11132. It may not be the best answer, but it was definitely a legit question - how to make an open-bolt subgun safe. Most open-bolt SMG designs are liable to fire unintentionally is dropped the wrong way, and the Madsen grip safety does a good job of preventing that, albeit at the expense of different problems (like not being able to use it one-handed).
    2
  11133. Yes, quite similar.
    2
  11134. LogicBeforeFaIth The British issued just such a gun in Malaysia.

    2
  11139. Guns got a lot better designed and safer; carrying a round in the chamber is not the danger it used to be - with exceptions like this one.
    2
  11140. There is no separate price for locals. It really isn't economical if you already live in the region, because you really don't need things like the lodging and translator. Sorry!

    2
  11144. Did you read the description? I have a full video already on the Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon, which is linked in the description.
    2
  11145. The original ammunition used explosive warheads.
    2
  11146. The lack of a rifled barrel would present an NFA problem, and the brass knuckles would be subject to a wide variety of different state laws.
    2
  11147. This video posted 2 days ago on Full30; perhaps you saw it there?
    2
  11148. Nope. I already have a deactivated one and that's good enough.
    2
  11149. M2 carbines can vary a lot between original military guns and converted commercial ones - I didn't look at the one they had in this sale.

    2
  11154. In the UK there is. In the US there is not.
    2
  11155. No, never heard of them.
    2
  11156. Winchester wasn't worried about the up-front expense; they had plenty of money. They got greedy and didn't want to share in a big success.
    2
  11157. This was going to be on Sunday, but I had to juggle some scheduling, and so this coming Sunday is a regular video instead.
    2
  11158. Sorry, but I'm not in magical Harry Potter land where people own griffons.
    2
  11159. The debacle was just that I should have spaced out the videos a little bit instead of posting them all back to back.
    2

    2
  11161. Thanks!
    2
  11162. It does happen from time to time.
    2
  11163. Because it's both copyrighted and out of print.
    2
  11164. I work with both, but am not an employee of either, and have no financial stake in the guns they sell.
    2
  11165. We did!
    2
  11166. They are fired with overpressure cartridges and inspected for flaws or damage.
    2
  11167. Not very reliable. They kept experimenting with the design, but never got it good enough to put into production on a large scale.
    2
  11168. Kurt Stoll A rough calculation from the slow motion frame rate gave me a rate of fire of 600 rounds/minute. More than fast enough for any conceivable use with this rifle.
    2
  11169. Waffen Tot There is an ejector that pushes it out from the side.
    2
  11170. Oliver Diaz Yeah, I will eventually re-do this footage now that I am better at running the high speed camera. It could be brighter.
    2
  11171. Yes.
    2
  11172. Been practicing it for about 5 years now.
    2
  11173. Yes, Bulgaria did adopt the Luger. There were a couple different types (they bought multiple batches of guns in both 7.65mm and 9mm). Some have a Bulgarian crest on the chamber, and some have a Bulgarian rampant lion on the toggle. They also have safety markings in Cyrillic.
    2
  11174. The French government that owned it was guillotined in 1793.
    2
  11175. Honestly, most museums have enough of this sort of thing that they already have extras sitting in storage vaults.

    2
  11177. https://youtu.be/HSDygkzGQRo
    2
  11178. No, the guns I can verify as being from major arsenals all have fully functional sights and generally rational markings.
    2
  11179. Real horn.
    2
  11180. Yes, I suppose it did...

  11187. Michał Ciozda It is a Gerat 06H, aka StG45(M).
    2
  11188. No - the straight-pull Mannlidhers I'm aware of all use 5-round Mannlicher clips.
    2
  11189. +TurtleWolf Pack They are no longer available. This one was a custom-made piece, and the one small run of commercial ones was done many years ago.
    2
  11190. I used the same pair filming a bunch of guns all day long...
    2
  11191. Yes! :) It has a top shelf you can't see there.
    2
  11192. The new .30 Super Carry cartridge is almost identical to a hot-loaded 7.65 French Long.
    2
  11193. IT IS A USSR MADE GUN CONVERTED BY GERMANS.
    2
  11194. Because adapting an MP40 magazine well for drums is a ton of work, and not practical for them to do.
    2
  11195. The P90 takes much of its handling from the F2000.
    2
  11196. Yes, IMO.
    2
  11197. Nuclear power plant security.
    2
  11198. Generally, but there were earlier closed-bolt designs (like the Hotchkiss Universal) so I wouldn't make it a defining characteristic of Gen 3.
    2
  11199. Johnson LMG
    2
  11200. I would say the MP7 and P90 are both 3rd generations guns. The MP7 copies heavily from the G36, and the P90 from the F2000.
    2
  11201. That's a Johnson LMG, in .30-06.
    2
  11202. There's not really a good formal definition, but the most commonly used one is "PCC", or pistol-caliber carbine.
    2
  11203. They were for nuclear power plant guards.
    2
  11204. One for semiauto and one for full auto.
    2
  11205. British doctrine was to carry the rifles with 5 rounds loaded and an empty chamber. When you see him loading a single clip, he is topping the mag up to a full 10.
    2
  11206. Pretty sure that came from either book publication delays or YouTube corporate policy.
    2
  11207. Yes.
    2
  11208. No famous actors in the main cast, only as supporting characters.
    2
  11209. Standard British practice was to carry the rifle with 5 rounds in the mag and the chamber empty, to save compression on the mag spring. When action was imminent, troops would load a second clip of 5, and chamber a round. This is exactly consistent with what they show in the movie.
    2
  11210. British doctrine was to carry rifles with 5 rounds and an empty chamber, to reduce wear on the magazine spring. When going into action, troops would load a second clip. When you see him loading just one, he is topping up the rifle to full capacity. Rather than an oversight, it's actually a correct representation of a very detailed nuance.
    2
  11211. British doctrine was to carry the rifles with 5 rounds loaded and an empty chamber. When you see him loading a single clip, he is topping the mag up to a full 10.
    2
  11212. Of course!
    2
  11213. While he did sell some initial batches to Classic, they are two completely separate businesses.

    2
  11230. Frankly, just hand-chamber a round of .30-06 and see if it goes all the way in. If it stop a quarter inch out, it's a .308 chamber.
    2
  11231. It's often worn just at the muzzle from improper cleaning, especially military guns.
    2

    2
  11235. +Pprokop87 I didn't try because you have to drive out a pin to remove the firing pin.
    2
  11236. Initially, they were large black powder cartridges - .43 Egyptian, .43 Spanish, .45-70, .50-70, .45 Danish, and so on. Later the gun was updated for smokeless loads, with 7mm Mauser being far and away the most common (followed by 8mm Lebel, .30-40 Krag, and 7.65mm Mauser). A very small number were made in 6mm Lee Navy, but that cartridge was mostly used with the Lee straight-pull rifle and Colt 1895 machine gun.
    2
  11237. It came from Otte Gear, but I don't think they sell it anymore.
    2
  11238. Maybe at first (ie, years ago), but I've gotten used to it and don't notice them anymore.
    2

    2
  11245. It used flat-nosed bullets.
    2
  11246. Yes.
    2
  11247. There is a locking shoulder in the receiver.
    2
  11248. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXVPUxqbgII
    2
  11249. No. By the time the bolt has moved far enough to expose the gas tube, no more gas is coming through it.
    2
  11250. Yes, absolutely.
    2
  11251. I would not consider moving or not moving to be a relevant point. It's the features of a sealed chamber that denote a piston to me. Certainly from the perspective of designing the parts and ensuring that they work as intended, there is a significant distinction between a sealed piston and a blind hole.
    2
  11252. Not sure at this point.
    2
  11253. Hill had an SMG with the same magazine design as the P90 in the late 40s. https://www.historicalfirearms.info/post/131708571508/hill-submachine-gun-developed-by-engineer-and
    2
  11254. Well, a select-fire PCC is the same thing as an SMG. A PDW, I think is more a description of role than of the technical design of the gun - the M1 Carbine was a PDW, for instance.
    2
  11255. If I say I'm not wrong, does that create a paradox then?
    2
  11256. I have a dyrlægens natmad one day for lunch, and made sure to get a Danish Danish. :)
    2
  11257. Nope.
    2
  11258. I only had 200 round belts, which don't fit in the box.
    2
  11259. Thanks!
    2
  11260. 9x18mm Makarov is actually a 9.2mm bullet - but it's just referred to as 9x18mm.
    2
  11261. 9x19 is substantially more powerful than 9x17 and 9x18, more than just the 1mm difference in lengths would suggest. The 9x19 is loaded to a higher pressure than the other two.
    2
  11262. I do not fire one without the stock. Sorry. Hopefully the shooting that I did do is satisfactory. :)
    2
  11263. Yes. Search the channel for "Bulgarian".
    2
  11264. Yes, I kept them.
    2
  11265. Yes, as far as I know.
    2
  11266. Never watched it.
    2
  11267. It can be.
    2
  11268. An AR-10.
    2
  11269. That is a Schnellfeuer. Introduced in 1932 by Mauser.
    2
  11270. Colt All-American 2000
    2
  11271. Everyone in the US tends to be overweight. Aside from some small Pacific islands, the US has the second-highest rate of obesity in the world.
    2
  11272. An M55 Reising SMG. https://youtu.be/JVH9aEF2EX0
    2
  11273. +mike C Not quite - the Luger is a short recoil action while the Pedersen is delayed blowback. They both use toggles, though.
    2

    2
  11280. I absolutely will if/when I find one of them to film.
    2
  11281. The trial has STILL not been rescheduled.
    2
  11282. Easier to just bring a spare box of ammo with you. How much shooting do you actually expect to do? The video game trope of waves upon waves of bad guys is not exactly a real-world thing...
    2
  11283. A Brazilian police officer gave it to me.
    2
  11284. Yeah, it could be a lot cleaner. And will be, by the time it's ready for market.
    2
  11285. Max Power Part of the stage setup. You carry the weight to each shooting position, just to add an element of extra work.
    2
  11286. The original was in 8x57 Mauser. You're probably thinking of the MP44, which was in 8x33.
    2
  11287. Already done. However, it requires some backpressure form the brake to run properly. The original style brake does that; some of the modern brakes we tried out don't.
    2
  11288. I've spoke to some folks with that German company - at the moment, they don't have anything being imported into the US, but they would like to.
    2
  11289. It does have the buffer, and it would remain in the production guns - that' an important aspect of recoil reduction (and FYI, it's a spring buffer, not hydraulic).
    2
  11290. The rifle balances well. IMO, the 20-round mag does not present a significant problem of balance.
    2
  11291. I have been less than impressed with my JRA example, unfortunately.
    2
  11292. M1909 Benet-Mercie
    2
  11293. The 96 never had a flash hider; that was only the 99. The 6.5mm cartridge doesn't produce enough flash to need it.
    2
  11294. There are conversion kits in 7.62x39, although they are fairly rare.
    2
  11295. It's Sunday, so no.
    2
  11296. Nope.
    2
  11297. I do not know an online seller. I found that shirt at a booth at a gun show in Phoenix.
    2
  11298. Our numerals are much better suited to iterative stamping dies than Japanese ones.
    2
  11299. Not yet.
    2
  11300. Yes, 9x19mm
    2
  11301. Argyll. The weather was a great; it only rained half the time! :)
    2
  11302. It's not canon.

  11303. The easy solution is become a Patron! :D https://www.patreon.com/ForgottenWeapons
    2
  11304. You may not notice it because of adrenaline, but it's still damaging your ears.
    2
  11305. A random hardware thing I found on Amazon.
    2
  11306. Argyll, near Kilmartin
    2
  11307. The choice of 1/2x20 is the single worst things about the Scout. I ended up getting a generic 1/2x20 to 1/2x28 thread adapter off Amazon to use with the can.
    2
  11308. Dalmore Cigar Malt.
    2
  11309. I suppose we will just have to wait and see.
    2
  11310. I never make the decision until I wake up in the morning.
    2
  11311. Because the practice at the time was to not use the sights most of the time.
    2
  11312. Not yet, but they are in the queue.
    2
  11313. I can tell you the Grease Gun is basically better in every way.
    2
  11314. Beretta 38, Owen, or ZK383.
    2
  11315. The bolt has a lot more mass than the barrel, and is not exposed to nearly as much heat when firing, so it doesn't really get hot. But the time it was difficult the handle, the rest of the gun would be massively overheated.
    2
  11316. The bolt has a lot more mass than the barrel, and is not exposed to nearly as much heat when firing, so it doesn't really get hot. But the time it was difficult the handle, the rest of the gun would be massively overheated.
    2
  11317. That's why it's a good idea to buy these sorts of things when they first come out. With Blake Stevens having passed away, I doubt Full Circle will get reprinted.
    2
  11318. Ordered it in the US, through Winfield-Flynn
    2
  11319. I really like it, and their gin too.
    2
  11320. No. Steel case is not necessarily a problem. It's worse with old ammo though, as it has the potential to rust from the inside where you can't see it.
    2
  11321. Varusteleka, naturally :)
    2
  11322. How do I adjust my carb to run rusty Libyan leaded gas?
    2
  11323. More people are buying more than normal, and have been for an extended period of time.
    2
  11324. The game with the 308 Indian was to see how many bullets would just fall out of the cases.
    2
  11325. That thumbnail image on the video is exactly how I look reading this comment.

  11326. Wes.
    2
  11327. He is not an ATF agent, he's the machine gun specialist for Morphy Auction Co.
    2
  11328. My mother made it for me; it's not something available for sale.
    2
  11329. Not that I am aware of.
    2
  11330. Measure the bore diameter?
    2
  11331. I think it's because the effective range of 12ga is too short to be useful in a military belt-fed.
    2
  11332. Heh...nope, I just like to have something interesting and different there for each video. :)
    2
  11333. We only had 7 shooters. My Mosin, an Enfield, a MAS36, an AK, and three ARs

  11335. It was Century that did the caliber conversions, not McCann. The problem is that there is no easy way to make a durable and reliable 7.62 conversion. The French experimented with it, and concluded that because of the chamber pressure difference tween the two cartridges a successful conversion would require substantial (and not economically viable) redesign of the gun.
    2
  11336. Richard McCann passed away a few years ago, unfortunately

    2
  11341. True.
    2
  11342. To match the grip angle of the Glock, and in turn, its magazines' feed angle.
    2
  11343. I was only considering time.
    2
  11344. Yes.
    2
  11345. This sort of work is generally done when materials are expensive and labor is very cheap.
    2
  11346. The Turkish government formally adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1926.
    2
  11347. No, not yet.
    2
  11348. Those are hoppers.
    2
  11349. No, those are magazines without springs. Like the Lewis pans.
    2
  11350. Those are feed strips, different thing.
    2
  11351. There is a whole playlist of them...
    2
  11352. Basically because detachable magazines can be reloaded by Mauser clip by not by Msnnlicher clip, and detachable mags became the dominant feed system.
    2
  11353. It was. Didn't get any traction.
    2
  11354. I use the flag from the time and place of the gun or ammunition being discussed. Hence, this is a Spanish flag used under Franco.
    2
  11355. Yes, it pretty much is.
    2
  11356. +Daan Monnickendam It's in .30 Carbine.
    2
  11357. +Exploatores Karl really doesn't like the M1 Carbine.
    2
  11358. +Charles Cosimano It induces fatigue, which makes the shooting harder.

  11360. My ammo was made from 7.62x54R cases.
    2
  11361. Um, I have no idea...
    2
  11362. That video didn't go into detail on the development of the rifle, just the USS Maine event.
    2
  11363. Yes, but I did not go into any depth about the rifle's development.
    2
  11364. It's not 1860 anymore... :)
    2
  11365. This was not a common thing. https://youtu.be/YgecTgbz3ik
    2
  11366. Bushmaster was the name of the company, and they used the same thing for the name of their first gun. Later designs, like your Carbon-15, had different model names but were still made by Bushmaster.
    2
  11367. The grip housing has to be modified to fit the full-auto cassette assembly.
    2
  11368. No, and spelt is a type of wheat. 😆
    2
  11369. The detachable barrel version never went into serial production.
    2
  11370. No, the RPD is completely different, and belt fed. Yugoslavia did not make a version of it.
    2
  11371. I prefer the P90.
    2
  11372. The FAMAS chapter will cover the F1, G1, G2, MAS 223, and FELIN/Valorise.
    2
  11373. No, they did not.

  11374. It posts Friday. :)
    2
  11375. I will cover the L118 Arctic Warfare Magnum next week...
    2
  11376. Friday.
    2
  11377. Loaded from the front, either down the barrel for a single-shot gun or down the chambers in a revolver.

    2
  11391. $1500
    2
  11392. Yep.
    2
  11393. YouTube gets spicy if I do that - sorry.
    2
  11394. It will be published in a couple weeks.
    2
  11395. Yes
    2
  11396. January.
    2
  11397. Yes, and I filmed a bunch of videos there which will be posting in the next few months.
    2
  11398. Cooling. They add mass and surface area to the barrel.
    2
  11399. They are great.
    2
  11400. I just like Hawaiian shirts.
    2
  11401. It is the gun the kid had in Robocop
    2
  11402. I doubt it - but hey, you never know...
    2
  11403. Yes, it does.
    2
  11404. Nope, that won't be shot - half the receiver is plexiglass, and the barrel is just a wooden dowel. It's a demonstration mockup, not a real gun.
    2
  11405. Not a build, an original ;)
    2
  11406. Fixed.
    2
  11407. Very rarely.
    2
  11408. It's just you.
    2
  11409. In this context, pistol grip means just a slight curve instead of a straight wrist.

  11413. How do you win Camp Perry with duplex. Camp Perry is the site of the US National Matches for marksmanship.
    2
  11414. I suppose maybe you technically could, but it would completely defeat the purpose of using stamping to get cheap and rapid manufacturing.
    2
  11415. Yes.
    2
  11416. The US used .45 ACP and the Sten uses 9mm Parabellum.
    2
  11417. No, it's a cutaway training rifle. Those were generally used as classroom instructional tools, and the barrels and stocks are generally cut off to make them more convenient to handle.
    2
  11418. There is not a mechanical safety - so don't do that. :)
    2
  11419. Yeah, that was the same gun.
    2
  11420. I don't have any way of knowing what the high bid was in cases like that.
    2
  11421. Legally had to; it's a registered machine gun.
    2
  11422. A very brief use of your eyes will ensure you never buy a gun like this one. :)
    2
  11423. No, standard clips work fine with 7.62 NATO.
    2
  11424. Colt link is in the end screen of the video. If you're on mobile and don't see those, just search YouTube for Colt Offensive Pistol.
    2
  11425. Basically a conference room that has examples of all their guns on the walls.
    2
  11426. SOCOM, easy.
    2
  11427. No, I don't think it did. I don't think anyone in CA knew about the name even.
    2
  11428. Correct - with the slide locked, it does not cycle.
    2
  11429. This trip was several months ago - and FYI, I post all of my meet ups on Patreon.
    2
  11430. When I find one, I will.
    2
  11431. I have been on Full30 since the site was founded.

  11436. The bullet, not the case.
    2
  11437. ZK-420S
    2
  11438. Yes, I've had a couple machine guns that ran away (continued firing after I released the trigger).
    2
  11439. The camera has to be fast to make the footage slow.
    2
  11440. Edgertronic.
    2
  11441. You do not want a current-production semiauto Thompson. They are far too heavy for a semiauto .45 carbine, the long barrel looks awful, the triggers suck, and the overall quality is nothing like the original Colt Thompsons. Save your money.
    2
  11442. The 1927 was the semiauto version sold originally, intended for police and prison agencies that wanted to look but didn't trust their guys with machine guns. The internals changes were minimal, and original 1927s are legally considered machine guns - most of them were converted back to full auto long ago. The modern company used the 1927A1 nomenclature to suggest a new semiauto version.
    2
  11443. It was adapted from the 11mm Gras cartridge in order to speed development.
    2
  11444. You are wrong. I have seen it happen, and it's reported in trials documents from the period.
    2
  11445. At some point I will get my hands on one...
    2
  11446. Yeah, it kinda just snuck out. :)
    2
  11447. I was using French surplus ammo from a gun show, but Prvi Partisan makes new 8mm Lebel that is clean and high quality.
    2
  11448. Louis-Aimé Colnot Also the 86/93M27 in 7.5x54mm
    2
  11449. From friends in Finland
    2
  11450. It was a brand new sling, and I couldn't get the stud into place.
    2
  11451. The FG42 is much more controllable.
    2
  11452. As far as I can tell, every letter in it is silent, somehow.
    2
  11453. It's linked at the end of the video.
    2
  11454. Only SKSs as far as I know.
    2
  11455. Yes. Probably more.
    2
  11456. Kalashnikov didn't get royalties from Russian production in the 50s; he definitely doesn't get them today (even if he was still alive).
    2
  11457. It's necessary for disassembly.

  11460. Conscription in the US is limited to men. The issue is being litigated, but the legal draft registration requirements remain applicable to men and not women.

    2
  11465. That target was harder to see.
    2
  11466. They are from a single collection.
    2
  11467. It was unpleasantly loud and concussive.
    2
  11468. Varusteleka, it's their CP10 pack.
    2
  11469. It was too loud and concussive, so I took it off.
    2
  11470. +Robert Benson I don't think so, because they were not military arms (but I could be mistaken).
    2
  11471. It is indeed an unofficial flag, but I was unable to find a better option for mid-1800s Ireland.

    2
  11477. No, they will be gold.
    2
  11478. +gman77gas Yes, both dummy and functional reproductions.
    2
  11479. +James Tiernan Clear you would not, since you're still asking after watching the video.
    2
  11480. Yes.
    2
  11481. +Kipcha Vargosain Nope. I did a video on a reproduction LIberator several years ago, though.
    2
  11482. Yes, the grip is hollow, and can hold 10 loose rounds of ammo. The tab is a grip piece for the cover plate that seals off the grip.
    2
  11483. +Dracomarine 1940 money.
    2
  11484. +FairDinkvm Yes, which I neglected to demonstrate (whoops)
    2
  11485. It would definitely be a bit tricky.
    2
  11486. It was a Mannlicher type clip. Not a magazine.
    2
  11487. Probably not - I don't know all that much about those subjects - lots of other better people for that.
    2
  11488. I will fall out of my chair if they don't have it in the game.
    2
  11489. I do not have a storefront anywhere.

    2
  11491. Dude, it's pre-alpha and the game doesn't come out for almost 6 months. I'm sure they will get the French elements finished up and included in the final product.
    2
  11492. No, I have not seen it yet.
    2
  11493. That is my Terrible Krinkov: https://youtu.be/JT1cNraZjp0
    2
  11494. That is possible, yeah. In such a case, misfiring would usually be a really good thing, because that much excess headspace would be likely to lead to ruptured cases. As for rimmed and rimfire cases, the concept is identical. The difference is that headspace is set by the thickness of the rim alone, so the cut of the chamber is much less important (to headspace specifically; it's still very important for other reasons). One place this changes is with unlocked blowback actions, like rimfire or pistol caliber carbine semi autos. In those, it's mass of the bolt that is holding the cartridge in place, not locking lugs.
    2
  11495. Yup.
    2
  11496. Right here: https://youtu.be/rsuGLHGcuik?t=145
    2
  11497. Only Browning guns have adjustable headspace and timing; it's kind of a quirk of their design (and age). Timing is simply setting the delay in the firing mechanism so the firing pin doesn't drop until the bolt is fully in battery. In other designs, the auto sear does that automatically.
    2
  11498. While it's not something I specifically looked into, I think the answer is that you don't; headspace doesn't apply to a rebated-rim case in an unlocked API action.
    2
  11499. The M2 is pretty unusual in having adjustable headspace.
    2
  11500. Either they have adjustable headspace (Browning 1917/1919/M2) or the barrel locking system has to be manufactured with the same level of care as the bolt locking system.
    2
  11501. That is my Terrible Krinkov: https://youtu.be/JT1cNraZjp0
    2
  11502. Perhaps on a trip to Spain some day...
    2
  11503. Finland.
    2
  11504. Nope.
    2
  11505. It's a Finnish cap, and I got it from Varusteleka.com .
    2
  11506. Yes, it was.
    2
  11507. Zytel is a type of polymer material.
    2
  11508. Nope. Managed to fix one once, though.
    2
  11509. No, it was semi or full.
    2
  11510. Yep.
    2
  11511. It is a wisent.
    2
  11512. The tungsten-cored bullet was lighter than the steel-cored one.
    2
  11513. https://youtu.be/FchMnsd3YSk
    2
  11514. No, the cut was only to the stock.
    2
  11515. +Tomartyr No idea. I got it at a thrift store.
    2
  11516. +Joseph V Definitely possible, and I am sure they are out there - I just haven't come across one myself yet.
    2
  11517. +SpongyTheBK IIRC, it had been estimated at $2k-$3k.
    2
  11518. It will not, I tried it. Totally chokes.
    2
  11519. Neat!
    2
  11520. I don't, I just got fixated on that as a way to operate the action. I could have just loaded a live round, cocked and fired it.
    2
  11521. We can't ALL be wrong... :)
    2
  11522. I haven't done a video on that, but perhaps I should. The difference is simply how far the piston itself travels. Less than the cartridge length is short stroke, more than cartridge length is long stroker. The M1 Carbine is a short stroke system, as is the AR18, FAL, SVT, and G43. Long stroke systems include the AK, M1 Garand, and Bren.
    2
  11523. The reason for that is that Charles St George designed both the T2 and the M17.
    2
  11524. +Firearmsforall Masterpiece Arms did, but their rifle is not worth buying.
    2
  11525. I was planning to, but the scheduling didn't work out. I will cover it later, though.
    2
  11526. Yes. This isn't in the US, and so machine guns can be legally down-converted to semiauto..
    2
  11527. When I find one, I will...
    2
  11528. Yeah, it's a sort of stupidity that crosses all international borders.
    2
  11529. Hope you enjoy it!
    2
  11530. I am; the tactical ones.
    2
  11531. Yes, SIG recently reintroduced the 210 in the US.
    2
  11532. +Máté Tóth Yes, I have an excellent book like that. But some of the small shops like the one that made this gun are simply not documented.
    2
  11533. Yep.
    2
  11534. +Mordock999 That is the NFA registration number. I don't recall if it was registered during the amnesty.
    2
  11535. If/when I can put my hands on one, I will!
    2
  11536. +keith moore Yes, there were some semi auto detachable-mag examples. The Chinese and Spanish also made those versions.
    2
  11537. The piston is the same as the AKM; I think they just wanted more handguard coverage back in the 1960s, and then kept the same standard ever since.
    2
  11538. Yes, any M70 furniture will fit.
    2
  11539. I hit pretty much everything...
    2
  11540. I'm sure they hit a berm somewhere. This range has a safety zone extending far enough behind the berm to accommodate a 7.62 NATO fired at worst-case angle upwards (I checked before we set this shot up).
    2
  11541. Stock yes, suppressor no.
    2
  11542. Yup.
    2
  11543. They got way more applications than they will need to fill the positions so I removed the video.
    2
  11544. No - the BRN-180 upper makes for a very front-heavy rifle on a KP15 lower.

    2
  11555. Never read the comments.
    2
  11556. Interesting question; I didn't think about that. I suspect it would not cause discharges, because the pressure of the rim and firing pin pushing the hammer back would not be energetic enough to trigger the priming compound. Having the hammer down on a live round would put you at risk to have the gun fire if dropped on the hammer, though.
    2
  11557. I don't know - I have not seen one in the US so far, though.
    2

  11576. Mine has run fine on brass cased ammo, but the 1:12 twist does limit it to 55gr bullets.
    2
  11577. No, different one.
    2
  11578. Once the scores are posted (hopefully this afternoon) I will.
    2
  11579. Boondock Saints, of course! :)
    2
  11580. Nope.
    2
  11581. In this case, the issue is that I only have the one magazine.
    2
  11582. Nope, different, one.
    2
  11583. It's not an ammo problem, but I only have the one magazine. In addition, .380 is too small to be legal in 2-gun.
    2
  11584. No, this is a different one.
    2
  11585. Smaller gun and easier to shoot.
    2
  11586. Those were Mauser 71s rebarreled by SFAP for the 6.5mm Daudeteau cartridge. Same designer, and factory, but not the same guns.
    2
  11587. Handled, but not shot.
    2
  11588. https://youtu.be/3ExOcfs2rng
    2
  11589. I was mistaken in the video; the stock was made new in Indochina using tooling from Berthier stock production.
    2
  11590. You should do some searching and find it and send me photos :)
    2
  11591. Yes, but I don't have one of them. It was a spike like the Lebel bayonet.
    2
  11592. +Robert Thomas It's meant to be a lanyard for when the holster is on your belt and you are using just the pistol.
    2
  11593. You are a couple days too late; it has already sold.
    2
  11594. Yep.
    2
  11595. This list would be my choice for that situation.
    2
  11596. I wouldn't change anything, actually. Performance would be worse across the board, but I don't think any of these are particularly suited to one hand shooting over two handed.
    2
  11597. I considered revolvers, but I would rather have these 5 than any of the revolvers. At least one revolver would probably make my top 10, though.
    2
  11598. The C96 copies exist only because of the Chinese demand, and the Chinese demand was based on recognizability, not objective comparison to the other options. As a stocked PDW it fares better than as a pistol, though.
    2
  11599. The C96 is cool in many ways, but as a fighting pistol it's not great.
    2
  11600. It's a commercial 1906, yes. Whoops!
    2
  11601. Just push the top round down when letting the slide close. Some pistols may require you to load one less than full capacity to do it.
    2
  11602. The 1911 is a Browning pistol...the others were blowbacks; the FN 1900 and FN 1910 in particular.
    2
  11603. Yes! That's the word. :)
    2
  11604. No, probably not.
    2
  11605. Yup, that's the one.
    2
  11606. Yes, the L34A1.
    2
  11607. Definitely.
    2
  11608. I think so, but haven't tried it.
    2
  11609. Not out of plastic. Far too weak.
    2
  11610. The stage rules specified shooting first normally, then strong hand only, and then weak hand only.
    2
  11611. Yes, I have.
    2
  11612. Elbonia has made a significant windfall selling custom armor upgrades to the Russian armored forces. There are also reports that Elbonian deep-cover agents were involved in the AK-12 adoption.
    2
  11613. Yes, just a matter of coordinating it
    2
  11614. Yes, they used igniters on the side of the bottle. Far safer and more practical than a flaming rag jammed in the top.
    2
  11615. +clothar23 The recoil travel is so short and quick that you don't notice it.
    2
  11616. Don't worry, it's not like I'm in Albuquerque.
    2
  11617. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
    2
  11618. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
    2
  11619. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
    2
  11620. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
    2
  11621. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
    2
  11622. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
    2
  11623. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
    2
  11624. An Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. 20x42mm.
    2
  11625. Videos form the trip will start posting in June, and will be spread over 6-8 months.
    2
  11626. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
    2
  11627. Probably not on this trip, unfortunately.
    2
  11628. Yep.
    2
  11629. Then you should find less biased news and information sources.
    2
  11630. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
    2
  11631. Yep!
    2
  11632. Noot goud.
    2
  11633. We basically have two classes of machine guns in the US. Transferrable ones can be sold to anyone who passes a background check and dealer sample ones that can only be owned by people with licenses to deal in machine guns.
    2
  11634. Obviously it's not "just a BAR".
    2
  11635. Thanks! I have not done something on the Browning 1900 yet, but I will eventually.
    2
  11636. Yes, I will.
    2
  11637. Australian: https://youtu.be/y8cm_SmNE08 Canadian: https://youtu.be/eL1G5hlF8wc
    2
  11638. 7.65 Parabellum is the same as a.30 Luger.
    2
  11639. Small ones were, yes. Mostly .32ACP models.
    2
  11640. +TOTITZKI Yep
    2
  11641. I doubt it - they are a lot more expensive to make than coil springs.
    2
  11642. While a 9mm conversion kit was made, the M3 and M3A1 were both manufactured exclusively in .45ACP.
    2
  11643. That would be a ton of snap caps, and most of the ones I would want aren't made. Eve for a gun like this, snap caps would only be a mediocre option, because you would not normally be ejecting full cartridges.
    2
  11644. Detent
    2
  11645. Yes
    2
  11646. French Rifles 301. I will send you a certificate. :)
    2
  11647. No, but I have an aunt who teaches in ASL, and so I got used to counting in ASL.
    2
  11648. Guns are meant to be shot and books are meant to be read. :)
    2
  11649. Thanks!
    2
  11650. The only language we are looking at now, aside from English, is French. Sorry!
    2
  11651. Blue was an exclusive Kickstarter bonus.
    2
  11652. I'm not an employee of the Julia auction house; I can bid on anything I want to.
    2
  11653. What cartridge do you think was not proprietary at this point in time?
    2
  11654. Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt your noise-time with learning.
    2
  11655. +Nie Wstydzę Się Lenina A chance, but I will probably have to go to Germany to do it.
    2
  11656. +Josh10 No - too much liability, unfortunately.
    2
  11657. +Maikeru Go Yup, that is a very similar mechanism.
    2
  11658. +DrBreezeAir That's a spot where the oprod wore through the black paint finish.
    2
  11659. +Dr. MJOLNIR Because there is not a significant market for a new full-auto combat shotgun.
    2
  11660. +retakrew7 Potentially, yes.
    2
  11661. Lol :)
    2
  11662. British, actually.
    2
  11663. Yes. The M14 was an M1 Garand with a White gas system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHR_kDlEUrw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXAmnoMR2aI
    2
  11664. JägerLP Flobert was the first to design a practical and successful metallic cartridge, in the mid 1840s. By 1868 they were widespread.
    2
  11665. Yes there is, actually.
    2
  11666. "AN" action.
    2
  11667. It's not intended to be changed when hot.
    2
  11668. No, only one magazine can fit in the firing position at a time.
    2
  11669. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDoiBvhQig4
    2
  11670. https://shop.bbtv.com/collections/forgotten-weapons/products/forgotten-weapons-howell-automatic-rifle-shirt-black
    2
  11671. No worries, they also ship from Boston!
    2
  11672. Yes!
    2
  11673. Dealers, agents, and auction houses would all benefit form wider access to machine guns.
    2
  11674. He isn't. Aside from his personal opinions, the auction companies would do much better if the NFA was released and they could sell a lot more machine guns. Increased volume would more than make up for reduced prices.
    2
  11675. I believe that is the Riddle of Steel.
    2
  11676. No, the arsenal would not have. That's the sort of thing that might happen in the field, but not at a stateside arsenal.
    2
  11677. Get one of the Norinco copies that has been worked over by a cowboy action shooter.
    2
  11678. Yeah, I realized that too late. Arg.
    2
  11679. If I offered you an AR that held two mags, but you had to wear an armored glove when shooting it, would you buy it? Most people would not.
    2
  11680. As someone who grew up just a few hours south of Cheyenne, Wyoming, that's exactly how it's pronounced.
    2
  11681. It comes with a 40MOA rail.
    2
  11682. 6.5 Creedmore
    2
  11683. It's not a Stoner design, but the first Armalite rifle, the AR-1, was a very light bolt action (6lb with scope and sling).
    2
  11684. This one is in 6.5 Creedmore. I wanted a bit less recoil than .308, and the 6.5 will do everything I want to do.
    2
  11685. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qLF693Dxs8
    2
  11686. They are both Mannlicher actions.
    2
  11687. Definitely not.
    2
  11688. The riflemen have bolt actions...
    2
  11689. Yeah, probably.
    2
  11690. Friends and fans in the Legion, mostly.
    2
  11691. +nocotufahead There are sights, they just happen to be really small ones.
    2
  11692. +JathTech Yeah, I know. Limitation of being in someone's house - it was the best option. I figured since the closeup section looked a lot better it was an acceptable compromise.
    2
  11693. +GoredonTheDestroyer I does, they are just really small.
    2
  11694. That's basically the FK Brno.
    2
  11695. Nope.
    2
  11696. +Jonathan Hansen They did also make 6-round flush magazines, FWIW.
    2
  11697. You have a stock on it (legal issues aside), which makes it in real terms a carbine and not a pistol.
    2
  11698. The 10-round mags were actually made for testing guns in clamped stands in the factory - 30s were inconveniently long for that purpose. Combat use of those short mags was just an emergency measure at the very end of the war.
    2
  11699. +Matheus Pista HMGunworks.com is working on one.
    2
  11700. Yes.
    2
  11701. It sold for $130,000.
    2
  11702. Actually, the MKb/MP/StG series of rifles used a much different locking system than the G3. I have a video on the origins of the G3, and how the StG-44 led to it: Last Ditch Innovation: The Development of the Gerat 06 and Gerat 06H Rifles
    2
  11703. Just wait 'til you see me at the annual costumed 2-gun Halloween shotgun match... ;)
    2
  11704. Yes, the M1918 version was made in .30-06 for US forces. As the book explains in some detail, the problem was improperly machined chambers, not any issue of the -06 round being too powerful.
    2
  11705. There will definitely be one, I just don't know exactly when yet.
    2
  11706. I haven't touched on it much on video, but I do have several blog posts. You can see them at the ForgottenWeapons main web site; search for Chauchat in the right-side search box.
    2
  11707. +Bruce Robert 3rd place Partial Beard & Mustache, DEFCON 22.
    2
  11708. +m1994a3jagnew Yes, if the product was good and the price competitive. You might start with Ross stocks. :)
    2
  11709. It used to be, yes.
    2
  11710. +panzerabwerkanone Nope, not me.
    2
  11711. Nope, didn't think about the P90.
    2
  11712. Yes, but only downward.
    2
  11713. There was no grease in it. It came out of the box clean and lightly oiled.
    2
  11714. To be fair, it IS a better pistol than sliced bread.
    2
  11715. No, righty only.
    2

    2
  11717. https://shop.bbtv.com/products/short-sleeve-adult-t-shirt
    2
  11718. No, they made no request for when I should publish.
    2
  11719. No, the Lee type clips had not been developed when these were designed.
    2
  11720. Because it used a standard M16 upper receiver forging.
    2
  11721. No, it just wasn't a formal catalog product.
    2
  11722. Two people; three dives...
    2
  11723. Yess - my goal is to be able to record audio underwater.
    2
  11724. Look for George Chinn's books - they are available free online.
    2
  11725. A good overall reference, but rarely has a useful level of detail on anything specific.
    2
  11726. First link in the description text.
    2
  11727. Thanks!
    2
  11728. Blowback? No, definitely not.
    2
  11729. Clips were preferred by the military because they were less expensive, didn't interfere with a low prone position, and easy to carry.
    2
  11730. All of the S1-100s had bayonet lugs.
    2
  11731. No.
    2
  11732. Yup, I will when I have the opportunity.
    2
  11733. No, Karl's MAC is an M11A1 like mine, not an 11/9.
    2
  11734. It was a precaution, not a legal requirement.
    2
  11735. In case ATF decided the upper was a machine gun all by itself.
    2
  11736. :D
    2
  11737. When you reassemble the gun, the spring is released and expands.
    2
  11738. No. Machine guns have no barrel length restrictions.
    2
  11739. When I can get my hands on one, yes.
    2
  11740. I did, but it accidentally posted last month instead of today.
    2
  11741. Roller delayed.
    2
  11742. +Danny Groom It means the breech is not fully locked.
    2
  11743. No.
    2
  11744. Nope, none.
    2
  11745. It’s a 2-week event
    2
  11746. I don't have enough time to start up a podcast myself. However, there is one in the works that will involve me and some other cool people. Hopefully it will be up and running soon!
    2
  11747. Which was a terrible idea, so they developed the FG42 to be a rifle/LMG that could be dropped with.
    2
  11748. No, Finnish M05.
    2
  11749. Rounding.
    2
  11750. The FG42 was designed to replace both he K98k and the MG34, functioning as a pseudo-LMG for the paratroopers. The problem with weapons crates was that they often fell far from the troops. Jumping with weapons was not to shoot from mid-air, it was to ensure the troops were armed immediately upon hitting the ground. The MG34 was too heavy to jump with, and so the FG was designed to take its place and also increase the firepower of a small paratroop unit by giving every man a semiauto rifle.
    2
  11751. The whole point of the FG-42 was to develop a rifle that the paratroops would drop with, because the weapons canisters were problematic.
    2
  11752. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-tst-l4-combat-shirt/51304
    2
  11753. Clearly you have never fired one from the hip. It's no good at all for that.
    2
  11754. The FG was designed specifically to be a weapon that could be jumped with, because separate weapons cannisters were a terrible idea.
    2
  11755. That was the issue the FG42 was developed to solved.
    2
  11756. That's in progress. :)
    2
  11757. We take them down when not in use.
    2
  11758. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-tst-l4-combat-shirt/51304
    2
  11759. Yup.
    2
  11760. They hav already shipped hundreds of 2nd model guns, as well as a few dozen of these 1st model ones. So, no. Also, this is not the same company that was trying to make StG-44s.
    2
  11761. This is steel.
    2
  11762. Too many of you appear to have caused it to crash. :)
    2
  11763. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-tst-l4-combat-shirt/51304
    2
  11764. The FG was designed specifically to be a weapon that could be jumped with, because separate weapons cannisters were a terrible idea.
    2
  11765. No, they used separate weapons containers. The FG was developed to fix that.
    2
  11766. Did not know that...
    2
  11767. Varusteleka
    2
  11768. See description text.
    2
  11769. Yes, those are all scheduled to publish in the next 2 months
    2
  11770. Varusteleka windoroof smock
    2
  11771. When I find one, I will...
    2
  11772. Thanks!
    2
  11773. Yes, his parents were Greek.

  11774. https://www.thegunwriter.com/19139/another-devastating-kel-tec-ksg-injury/
    2
  11775. It's a lot easier to understand when you have the gun's designer walking you through it. :)
    2
  11776. Not now, but I was when I filmed this video.
    2
  11777. You will. Also an interview with him next week.
    2
  11778. Close; it's from Finland.
    2
  11779. I would love to do a book with him, but he won't answer my messages. :(
    2
  11780. It was; the M2 Carbine.
    2
  11781. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HJMvADklEQ
    2
  11782. Marstar is licensed for prohibited guns/mags.
    2
  11783. It's not illegal, it's "Prohibited". And some people have licenses to own Prohibited guns. Like Marstar.
    2
  11784. GODOFGUITAR2112 Nope, no replicas of these.
    2
  11785. No, I have not yet.
    2
  11786. To make them more visible. It's usually wax.
    2
  11787. The LMGs that were adopted are magazine fed, not belt fed.
    2
  11788. "Blood Brothers: Hiram and Hudson Maxim", by Iain McCallum (no direct relation). http://amzn.to/2lSTQEi
    2
  11789. Good. :)
    2
  11790. Self-taught.
    2
  11791. I didn't do a video on it.
    2
  11792. No, I never sold those myself. I found that one at a random gun show table a couple years ago.
    2
  11793. Casablanca
    2
  11794. Thanks!
    2
  11795. Casablanca
    2
  11796. I would like to do more artillery content, but I need to learn a lot myself first...
    2
  11797. It's a British hat.
    2
  11798. The bullet deflected off the plate, and its remnants hit and shredded the wooden support that was holding the plate up. Then it fell over.
    2
  11799. The bullet never moved the plate.
    2
  11800. If you want to blame someone, blame German high command. It was not called a panzergewehr. Here, read this: https://edoc.hu-berlin.de/handle/18452/16336
    2
  11801. Didn't want to abuse my shoulder.
    2
  11802. In World War 1 they did not.
    2
  11803. Thanks, but no thanks. Everyone who has a gun show on cable TV seems to end up in jail...
    2
  11804. You ever shoot one prone from its bipod? It really sucks.
    2
  11805. Recoil is brutal when firing prone.
    2
  11806. You misunderstand the timing of what happened. The plate stayed stationary until after the bullet deflected, at which time the fragments shredded the wooden supports, which allowed the plate to fall over from gravity.
    2
  11807. As I mention in the video, "panzer" was not in use during WW1.
    2
  11808. Tankgewehrs really suck to shoot prone.
    2
  11809. I don't believe he has any for sale; he provided me two rounds from his personal collection.
    2
  11810. A metal stand would not have changed anything there.
    2
  11811. 99 years.
    2
  11812. It only fell because the deflected bullet shredded the supports. It didn't move under the actual impact.
    2
  11813. Yes, I do.
    2
  11814. You are wrong. It fell over because the deflected bullet smashed the supports - after being deflected. The test was valid.

  11815. Didn't want to abuse my shoulder.
    2
  11816. You ever fired one of those things prone from the bipod? It really sucks.
    2
  11817. It was the ricocheting fragments that destroyed the stand and allowed the plate to fall, not the initial impact.
    2
  11818. Didn't want to subject my shoulder to that.
    2
  11819. It has very stout recoil.
    2
  11820. The first guy who dumped it on the ground was the owner. :)
    2
  11821. Yes, extensively.
    2
  11822. Christmas.
    2
  11823. No, it does not meet the legal definition of a firearm.
    2
  11824. It's not a firearm, so no.
    2
  11825. In the US, this does not fit the definition of a "firearm" and is Federally unregulated.
    2
  11826. It the Shield Plus is "utterly garbage" I would love to hear the adjectives you would use for the Taurus Curve...
    2
  11827. Swampfox Sentinel.
    2
  11828. They already have :)
    2
  11829. The lengths are the same, but .30 Para is a bottlenecked case. As such, it has more case capacity than the straight-walled .30SC and also less magazine capacity.
    2
  11830. There's no need to - Starline has been making 7.65 French brass for a couple years now.
    2
  11831. PCC is Pistol-Caliber Carbine.
    2
  11832. I have not tried to specify a number of rounds; I'm sure it varies by person and gun.
    2
  11833. Homer Simpson drool
    2
  11834. I think they are unlikely, because a huge number of existing pistols are not built to handle the higher pressure. It would be a major liability risk, I expect.
    2
  11835. Starline has been making 7.65 French brass for a couple years now.
    2
  11836. From scratch.
    2
  11837. They are wood.
    2
  11838. For you, I will. https://youtu.be/xtsKZtiHcdw
    2
  11839. I shoot a selection of guns at the James Julia auction house, but it's not practical at Rock Island for several reasons.
    2
  11840. R Lee Ermey's shows were all prescripted. That gun malfunctioned because they intended it to, so it would fit the script of the show.
    2
  11841. The large Lewis drums were for aircraft use, and required elevated sights.
    2
  11842. The Vickers is a heavy machine gun, and the Bren was developed in the 1930s.
    2
  11843. The 08/15 was expressly designed for the LMG role.
    2
  11844. The Benet-Mercie is just the .30-06 version of the Hotchkiss Portable/Portative.
    2
  11845. https://youtu.be/MMYo0RoWL7E
    2
  11846. In my opinion, none. I think the idea was to allow more continuous covering/harrassing fire at a slower rate that would conserve ammunition.
    2
  11847. No, most of my content will continue to be published here. But some things will only be available on the App.
    2
  11848. Thanks Matt! We are excited to have you with us :)
    2
  11849. It fell apart years ago. It was ad-based, and they never managed to find a viable ad network to use, nor did they get the backend tech running reliably.
    2
  11850. Othais and Mae have an open invitation to join us whenever they want to.
    2
  11851. I will pass that along to the techs!
    2
  11852. Send me an email (admin at forgottenweapons dot...etc) and I'll send you a copy of the Canadian manual, which includes complete detail stripping instructions - that's easier than trying to explain it in YouTube comments.
    2
  11853. After that firing test, the bolt is jammed tight enough that I have to use a mallet to open or close it. But I suspect the remaining lugs would lock quite securely if the bolt was reassembled into the correct config. Not that I plan to try it, though.
    2
  11854. Sure - I'm familiar with them, I just haven't done a video on any of the variants yet. Anything in particular you're trying to find out?
    2
  11855. Yes, that is correct.
    2
  11856. Yes
    2
  11857. It was not easily repairable, so I sold it (with disclosure of the problem). I am still looking for another one in original military configuration to add to my collection.

    2
  11862. One of the biggest misconception is that this is about YouTube/Google begin leftist. This issue is bigger than that, and it impacts channels across the entire political spectrum.
    2
  11863. The international nature of the internet generally means that significant changes like these would be platform-wide. The EU is too large a market for a company like Alphabet/Google/YouTube to ignore.
    2
  11864. Part of that money does go to creators, split amongst the ones whose videos you watch in a given month.
    2
  11865. One of the biggest misconception is that this is about YouTube/Google begin leftist. This issue is bigger than that, and it impacts channels across the entire political spectrum.
    2
  11866. Just an artifact of the microphone.
    2
  11867. YouTube won't let me do that anymore. :(
    2
  11868. Not that I am aware of.
    2
  11869. No, the deflector kicks them forward.
    2
  11870. It's now smg guns store dot com.

  11871. https://www.patreon.com/posts/16492495/
    2
  11872. Nope.
    2
  11873. I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology.
    2
  11874. The Mausers are quite rare today; the Mosins are fairly common. They were made by New England Westinghouse and Remington, and are often found as Finnish M91 updates. You can also find the Berthier 07/15 rifles made by Remington and rejected by the French.
    2
  11875. They are available that way for Patrons.
    2
  11876. John Browning made so much money in World War One that he voluntarily waived a bunch of his royalties.
    2

    2
  11878. FWIW, in the spring of 1917 Eddystone was delivering more than 20,000 P14 rifles per week to the British. They did that from February until about mid-May.
    2
  11879. It's a water jacket for cooling.
    2
  11880. The original Maxims were made in England.
    2
  11881. I was thinking of using "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor", but decided not to.
    2
  11882. Yes.
    2
  11883. Yes it does; look at the end of the description.
    2
  11884. That is a Polish beret.
    2
  11885. It was a very generous gift from some Finnish friends.
    2
  11886. I have several batches of videos filmed at Knights (aka the Institute of Military Technology). The LMR is high on my list to film, as soon as I am able to put my hands on one of them.
    2
  11887. If your plan involves family members being murdered in Africa, I think you need a better plan.
    2
  11888. Can't import NFA regulated items unless you are an 08 or 11 FFL and have a request from a military or law enforcement agency.
    2
  11889. This video and those events are in no way connected.
    2
  11890. Simple answer? No.
    2
  11891. Generally speaking, firearms that do not use self-contained cartridges are not regulated in the US.
    2
  11892. Basically, importation of NFA regulated items is prohibited.
    2
  11893. It cannot, unfortunately.
    2
  11894. Nope, other restrictions supersede it.
    2
  11895. If you can just drive into Mexico on a visit to pick it up, you should be able to get an import permit and bring it through the border yourself legally. If you don't need to arrange shipping, a lot of the hassles go away.
    2
  11896. Yes, if they are willing to do so. Most would probably not be willing to, because it is a complicated and long process with which they are most likely unfamiliar.
    2
  11897. If it's C&R eligible, it can be imported.
    2
  11898. Once a firearm has been imported into the US, it transfers exactly the same as one made here. To buy one from a dealer in another state you need to transfer it through a dealer in your state via 4473 or you can purchase it directly if it is C&R eligible and you have a C&R license.
    2
  11899. First, move to America.
    2
  11900. A very interesting potential loophole, to which ATF says basically, "no, and this press conference is over".
    2
  11901. In theory, yes - but you may encounter issues with customs personnel who aren't well educated, or airlines that don't want to carry firearms in luggage.
    2
  11902. Nope.
    2
  11903. I would suggest "Full Circle" by Blake Stevens, from Collector Grade Publications.
    2
  11904. Sorry.
    2
  11905. +XanderTuron http://www.forgottenweapons.com/the-huot-machine-rifle-a-ross-conversion/
    2
  11906. Mine doesn't either; it's a cosmetic fake. :)
    2
  11907. That would have taken a lot more development time - more than they had.
    2
  11908. Been a fan of Nightwish long before I went to Finland.
    2
  11909. It is indeed expensive, but do remember that it's a hand guard and a bipod, not just one or the other.
    2
  11910. Yes.
    2
  11911. 37mm smoothbore launchers are exempted from the NFA as long as they are only used with non-lethal ammunition like flares.
    2
  11912. Chinese numerals are just not nearly as well suited to the iterative large numbers required for serializing things. That's why the Japanese used Arabic numerals for Arisaka serials, among other examples.
    2
  11913. I suspect so.
    2
  11914. https://youtu.be/2dZLeEUE940
    2
  11915. The rifle barrel is twice as long, which means a different angle from rear sight to front sight.
    2
  11916. Push through.
    2
  11917. Most of them are MG13 drums, not MG34 drums.
    2
  11918. I was wondering how long it would take for people to notice that. :)
    2
  11919. Yep, it was.
    2
  11920. I would agree, if there were any others.
    2
  11921. I've done it for a couple years already; don't see that changing in 2019.
    2
  11922. Yes
    2
  11923. SubscribeStar is a disaster.
    2
  11924. Those are done with our cooperation and permission. We like them.
    2
  11925. Yes. I have one filmed on the MP7.
    2
  11926. Yep.
    2
  11927. Thanks!
    2
  11928. No, I am not including it. The FAMAS being the last French-designed military rifle makes a very good end point for the book.
    2
  11929. Not in person, but I wrote an article on them just a few days ago.
    2
  11930. I can't - it's a live full auto and it's in New Zealand, so it can't be legally brought into the US.
    2
  11931. I have a C&R FFL.
    2
  11932. Yes, but the MkIIIB was a variant purchased from Canada by the British government.
    2
  11933. Nope, same rifles with different abbreviations.
    2
  11934. Go to the web site (forgottenweapons), and look at the top of the right sidebar.
    2
  11935. FWIW, the forum is specifically for Premium Members - that's why public registration is disabled. As for a Siamese Mauser stock, you may have a hard time finding one...I don't know of any good source.
    2
  11936. This information is published in plenty of other places; I'm not revealing any big secrets here.
    2
  11937. This information is published in plenty of other places; I'm not revealing any big secrets here.
    2
  11938. No, not yet.
    2
  11939. NO. This information is not secret, and is published plenty of other places.
    2
  11940. As far as I know, this was its original barrel.
    2
  11941. Yes, but I do not have access to any of that.
    2
  11942. L'assaut (about the 94 airliner hijacking) is very good; unfortunately 15 Minutes of War is really bad.
    2
  11943. A retired ex-armorer rebuilt it for me.
    2
  11944. Browning Auto-5.
    2
  11945. You have Ljungmans.
    2
  11946. No, not really.
    2
  11947. It is probably patented. Copyright is for creative artistic work like writing.
    2
  11948. Because like 10mm, 98% of people talk about it and don't buy it.
    2
  11949. https://youtu.be/ybQRUl_iFEA
    2
  11950. Those guns had safeties.
    2
  11951. There is no round in the chamber when I do that.
    2
  11952. https://youtu.be/bMkiTnNA1NI
    2
  11953. We filmed that video nearly a year ago, but only posted it recently.
    2
  11954. No, roller guns only.
    2
  11955. Yes. It's history; I use flags from the time and place where each gun was developed. That means using a lot of flags of nasty governments, be they South African apartheid, Spanish fascists, Italian fascists, Nazis, Soviet communists, Chinese communists, and so on. Showing actual history is not the same as condoning any particular actions.
    2
  11956. If you need to mount a laser to your lower, the KP15 is not the lower for you.
    2
  11957. Winchester negotiated a flay royalty payment of $886,000 to cover all of the patents that were used in the M1 Carbine. If Williams didn't get his rightful due it was because of Winchester, not because of the Army.
    2
  11958. One could say that a gun made by Industrial Business Machines is perfectly appropriate...
    2
  11959. https://youtu.be/Vg2fSD2Vl58
    2
  11960. https://youtu.be/Vg2fSD2Vl58
    2
  11961. The M2 is select-fire.
    2
  11962. Both are correct.
    2
  11963. Offhand, I'm not sure (I haven't had the chance to disassemble one yet).
    2
  11964. David M. Ammo would not have been a big issue; DWM was a huge supplier of all sorts of ammunition prior to the war and would have had no trouble (aside from devoting a bit of machine time) to running some 7x57 production when needed.
    2
  11965. The standard production ones are not - they're semiauto only. It's possible that some prototypes were made that could fire fullauto, but I'm not aware of them.
    2
  11966. Quality, quantity, production value. Pick two.
    2
  11967. I'm just experimenting. But yeah, part of it is that this thing is too long to show up well in the normal thumbnail style.
    2
  11968. I filmed that one as well :)
    2
  11969. Excellent! It was my first attempt at an index, so I hope it is effective.
    2
  11970. Smoking during a respiratory pandemic seems unwise. :)
    2
  11971. The caliber is ubiquitous because large stockpiles existed - but it doesn't make sense to make new ammo rifles for it when the 5.45 and 5.56 are better cartridges for modern militaries.
    2
  11972. It's not intended for carry at all.
    2
  11973. Early video access is one of the Patreon perks.
    2
  11974. Yes.
    2
  11975. Only if it is registered as a Destructive Device under the NFA.
    2
  11976. Toby Bacon If I wanted to do that, I would have put my web site behind a paywall long ago. If you won't pay anything for any content, that's fine. It's your choice to make. You are welcome to your opinion on how someone else ought to go about making their work sustainable, but since you obviously don't have any firsthand experience with it, I'm sure you will understand if I decide need to heed it.
    2
  11977. TShirtCannon Eventually, I'm sure they will.
    2
  11978. leanhard1987 You are correct, Full30 doesn't support HD. If you want InRange in HD, you can get it here for $0.99.
    2
  11979. Paelorian Yes, I expect we will. To us, the PPV model is far from ideal - we would much rather have the higher viewership that ad-based funding typically draws. Just not with the really skimpy payout that YouTube provides.
    2
  11980. TheCakeman4444 I've looked at Patreon, and I just don't expect that it would actually work effectively.

    2
  11987. Yes - shipping is expensive but you can order it from www.headstamppublishing.com/purchase
    2
  11988. The Ljungman was not in major combat service.
    2
  11989. I've actually been looking for one for years, and have come up empty so far.
    2
  11990. The G43 is definitely not an SVT copy. It's a Walther G41 with the SVT gas piston put on.
    2
  11991. Yeah, but it never saw significant combat use.
    2
  11992. Yes, they do. You can easily find the videos here on YouTube as well if you want to.
    2
  11993. I have no idea; sorry!
    2
  11994. Only a couple people used thermal; the vast majority were passive red dots or active IR.
    2
  11995. Poor guy did the whole match with a Sionyx Opsin as his actual NV device...(and still obliterated my score...)
    2
  11996. Nope. Prexis advertises them, but you would have to be crazy to send him money.
    2
  11997. I posts next Monday. If you want to see it sooner, it will be on Full30.com on Saturday.
    2
  11998. Me too, if any survived the experience!
    2
  11999. s0beit They did actually make a version in 9x19, but they are very rare today.
    2
  12000. ***** I'm very happy with it. Good quality and easy to use.
    2
  12001. Accuracy is a matter of consistency, so it depends on the factory and the handloader in question.
    2
  12002. Google Machine Gun Vegas.
    2
  12003. Sure: https://amzn.to/46xPg17
    2
  12004. It's simple; the sights are centered (the magazine is offset to the left).
    2
  12005. The range doesn't allow it, sadly.
    2
  12006. Nope, it will only be made in the original setup - 8x33 using MP44 magazines, and with wood furniture.
    2
  12007. It's not my choice to make - while I had a very minor hand in some of the early stages, my role now is simply to play with the finished products. The reason the VG1-5 was done first, as I see it, was a combination of it being a simple design, some of the work being better suited to the tools at hand, and Chuck's interest in it.
    2
  12008. At what price? I don't think there is a market for a non-8mm VG1-5 for anything over $1000, and getting the price down to that would require a significant economy of scale that just isn't practical for a design as esoteric as this one.
    2
  12009. No, only the original 8x33.
    2
  12010. It's more stable in the film because they are shooting blanks (no recoil), but in reality it's still an excellent SMG.
    2
  12011. They didn't copy it at all.
    2
  12012. The double feed magazine was only adopted after the war. All the original pre-war magazine designs were single-feed.
    2
  12013. It didn't get any adoption or production that I am aware of.
    2
  12014. Yes.
    2
  12015. AR stands for ARmalite.
    2
  12016. The spring is being stretched, not compressed.
    2
  12017. Generally speaking, it either gets sent back to the consignor or gets put into the next auction with a revised reserve or estimate.
    2
  12018. Guillaume Doriat The RPD is basically a DP scaled down to 7.62x39 with a belt feed mechanism. Uses the exact same flapper-locking system.
    2
  12019. A couple things... First, continuous belts don't hold onto empty cases - those are ejected by the gun independently of the empty belt. The only reasonably common machine gun that reloaded empty cases into its feed device was the Breda 37, which used feed strips. The first disintegrating link systems were made for WWI aircraft guns, where it was not really good to have lengths of empty belt flapping out behind the guns. For infantry use, that is also a bit of an issue. It's annoying to run around with, say, 90 rounds worth of empty belt flopping around attached to the gun until you fire the remaining rounds and reload. In addition, disintegrating links were cheaper to make than continuous belts, and could be considered disposable. One less thing for gun crews to worry about.
    2
  12020. dobiem1 I don't think that has any impact on accuracy. If it were hanging off the barrel it might, but not on the receiver.
    2
  12021. Full auto in the US is legal but regulated more heavily than other firearms (for one thing, all machine guns must be registered with the government). There are several different legal categories of machine gun based (among other things) on when they were registered, and that determines who can own them (dealers, law enforcement agencies, private individuals). The full details would be pretty lengthy to describe - if you're interested you can start researching the 1934 NFA (National Firearms Act), 1968 Gun Control Act and 1986 Hughes Amendment.
    2
  12022. The link will be sent out as a Kickstarter backer update when I start it up Friday evening.
    2
  12023. I did briefly consider Japanese rifle for my next book, but between Honeycutt and others there are lots of good references on the subject already.
    2
  12024. Unfortunately, that's what it actually costs us to ship to the UK.
    2
  12025. When I start it on Friday, I will post the link in a backers' update on Kickstarter.

  12029. In that case, yes - the backer kit survey will include a place to specify what personal message you would like.
    2
  12030. We scheduled it specifically for Ireland. ;)
    2
  12031. Thanks!
    2
  12032. No, but the price goes up when the Kickstarter ends.

  12035. +issac black No, it's not normal.
    2
  12036. +P3dro 2486 The full video (posting tomorrow) includes a matched pair of Rodda double 4-bore rifles.
    2
  12037. Yes, you must cool your core body temperature to 30F.
    2
  12038. That is a question for Karl...
    2
  12039. The editor has been sternly chastised.
    2
  12040. It always hits home when you see the WW1 memorials dedicated to the fallen of the World War.
    2
  12041. He is!
    2
  12042. Not really something I have detailed knowledge of, but I would start with his service file, which you ought to be able to get from whichever military branch he was in. That should tell where he was killed.
    2
  12043. Can you please email me (admin@forgottenweapons.com) with your order number? I will get it fixed for you.
    2
  12044. It is a C&R gun.
    2
  12045. The Hall.

  12049. He did also use .45s, for special teams.
    2
  12050. Yup, same guy.
    2
  12051. Steel, I believe.
    2
  12052. Because it is specifically a Slovenian SAR-80.
    2
  12053. They would if it was in the US.

    2
  12057. They aren't deactivated, thanks to his efforts.
    2
  12058. I misspoke in the original video; the mount was sold as a separate lot.
    2
  12059. https://amzn.to/2MRDFm5 https://amzn.to/2K3psoe
    2
  12060. No, they haven't been made since the 1870s.
    2
  12061. This one is substantially less user-friendly than the American M2, so we agreed Charlie would be the best to operate it, since he has the most experience.
    2
  12062. I posted a reply on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ForgottenWeapons/
    2
  12063. Desert Storm commemorative Pepsi. :)
    2
  12064. The semiauto conversion.
    2
  12065. They doing have an open viewing period for a couple days before the auction when you can take a look in person at everything up for sale...I would strongly recommend checking it out. :)
    2
  12066. Look up the BM-59.
    2
  12067. Zero indigenous manufacture that I am aware of (of small arms - they did cast cannons on the island).
    2
  12068. Yup.
    2
  12069. They're in the queue once this RIA series finishes. They will be spread over 6-8 months.
    2
  12070. They're in the queue once this RIA series finishes. They will be spread over 6-8 months.
    2
  12071. Sorry, but not this time. Next trip!
    2
  12072. They're in the queue once this RIA series finishes. They will be spread over 6-8 months.
    2
  12073. Yes.
    2
  12074. Almost identical, but a bit longer front to back to fit the longer ammunition (7.62x63 vs 7.62x51)
    2
  12075. No, because this doesn't have a muzzle brake and it has a longer barrel.
    2
  12076. Yes.
    2
  12077. No, I think the FN-D is better, because it has a more elegant barrel change system.
    2
  12078. Drum magazines usually don't work reliably in a military application.
    2
  12079. Yes, because the bolt mechanically cams the cover open before a case is ejected.
    2
  12080. None of the other LMGs of this period had drum magazines, because drums magazines are heavy, bulky, clumsy, and usually don't work well.
    2
  12081. You can really do a vented barrel on an AR action because the gas block is in the way of a telescoping suppressor.
    2
  12082. Half the tube is behind the muzzle of the barrel
    2
  12083. That's the sound of packing tape being pulled in their shipping department in the next room. However, I did half of the videos this time from a different (and quieter) room elsewhere in the building.
    2
  12084. There was another presentation specifically on museums and video game guns - I will be posting it a little later.
    2
  12085. If anyone actually pulled that off, they earned it. And they should have dropped a Molotov down the back instead.
    2
  12086. They did make one; the Model 60 was a semiautomatic with a 16" barrel.
    2
  12087. It's just one of the weird aspects of our laws; if it was originally made without a shoulder stock it's a pistol.
    2
  12088. This one took about 6 weeks for me, but that's with an SOT.
    2
  12089. Solid.
    2
  12090. Welcome to YouTube. I have a solution coming soon!
    2
  12091. The difference is that DK treats you like a valued customer and isn’t ashamed to be in the gun business.
    2
  12092. https://www.whatpriceglory.com/products/6504-french-army-bush-hat-chapeau-de-brousse/
    2
  12093. In theory, yes.
    2
  12094. I have three videos on the 49/56 coming by the end of the month. One of the standard gun, one on the MSE version, and one on the experiments with converting it to 7.62 NATO.
    2
  12095. My book has much better photography (in color, no less!) and it covers all the bolt action rifles as well as the semi autos. I have a chapter on the FAMAS, which Huon does not (he has a separate book on the FAMAS, in French only). I have more detailed information on things like the production timeline for the rifles both books cover, and my RSC chapter is substantially more detailed than his. On the other side, he covers a lot of prototype and experimental variations, and I do not (I only include models adopted by the military). The background on the various development programs and experimental guns makes his book invaluable to the researcher, but I believe mine has much more practical value for the collector.
    2
  12096. I would say they were right in the middle of the pack. The US and USSR had them first, Germany adopted them during WW2, and France was next, with the MAS-44 going into production in 1945. Everyone else was a few years later, with the FN-49, FAL, BM-59, etc.The Germans and Soviets were the first with intermediate cartridges, and NATO took until the 60s to follow suit.
    2
  12097. It is worth noting that the Soviets only developed the Dragunov because they saw the intermediate 7.62x39mm as being a real handicap to NATO's full-power cartridges. Adopting intermediate rounds was not seen as a universally good move.
    2
  12098. There's really not much to say - the springs are really strong, and I have never heard complaints about them. The pouches were clumsy, and each pocket only held one mag. Standard load out was 4 mags, in 2 sets of side-by-side double pouches. Reloading was often done by stripper clip instead, from what I've been told.
    2
  12099. https://murraysguns.com/french-mas-4956-firing-pin/
    2
  12100. I believe about 3000 of them came into the US.
    2
  12101. I explained this in the MAS 44 video. The pre-war MAS 40 design used a flush internal magazine, and they wanted to change it to a detachable box mag when it went into production at the end of WW2. The external catch allowed them to leave the receiver tooling and design unchanged, which meant the gun could be put into production much faster.
    2
  12102. Yup, that was me :)
    2
  12103. https://youtu.be/IcGskHGcC3A The San Cristobal video comes out next month.
    2
  12104. No, When I visited Italy I tried, but couldn't get the right connection.
    2
  12105. That was RPB's new model.
    2
  12106. No, these share nothing of significance with the Thompson except the mags (in .45).
    2
  12107. Yup. I discuss that tomorrow at the range.
    2
  12108. +Alex Trygg Not yet, that I am aware of.
    2
  12109. +mar3k Yep, I goofed there.
    2
  12110. +Jacob Kracinski Not that I know of. Your best bet would be to find another rifle that is missing some other parts to buy cheap. Or sell your rifle to me.
    2
  12111. +richard343s None that I'm aware of. With a bit of luck, I will be doing some live fire video with a 1918 model in a few weeks...
    2
  12112. Alas, I have not yet found an 1885.
    2
  12113. Portugal bought theirs from Steyr.
    2
  12114. The magazine tube spring.
    2
  12115. I did!
    2
  12116. When I have a chance to get my hands on them...
    2
  12117. I did: https://youtu.be/ZmO-NDLEC5A
    2
  12118. In theory, yes. But those are difficult things to do while hanging onto a grip-less machine guns that won't stop firing.
    2
  12119. Yeah, I think politics must have been involved.
    2
  12120. Correct.
    2
  12121. No, it has an Afghan crest on the receiver - it was originally an Afghan contract gun.
    2
  12122. The MAS 40 never got into production.
    2
  12123. No, only English at this point.
    2
  12124. They were hand-made, and the guy who built them doesn't want to go into further production. It's a hobby for him, not a business.
    2
  12125. Here you go: https://youtu.be/LUeYVcredOc
    2
  12126. There can't be very many troops left around Moscow these days, right?
    2
  12127. Personal passion, that's why. It's the guy's hobby.
    2
  12128. Not that I'm aware of, no. :)
    2
  12129. When I find one, yes
    2
  12130. Yes.
    2
  12131. Either.
    2
  12132. Yellow closed-cell foam from a case it appears to have been left in for a long time.
    2
  12133. I believe most of them went to Ukraine.
    2
  12134. The Solothurn is recoil operated. It weights about 120 pounds unloaded, but thanks to the recoil operation, the barrel can be removed for transport.
    2
  12135. There were a lot of other guns there that day, and I only had time to fire one round through the Solothurn and Lahti.
    2
  12136. Because it is a pre-1898 antique.
    2
  12137. Merci!
    2
  12138. Yes, I had a tiny hand in the early work on them. :)
    2
  12139. +DudeInWalmart Gas.
    2
  12140. +Oscar Floyd Yes, all the time.
    2
  12141. No, original artillery Lugers and stocks are exempt from the NFA. So are a number of other early stocked pistols.
    2
  12142. True...but that doesn't mean we would expect a paratroop rifle to jump out of an airplane by itself.
    2
  12143. I post them on Instagram each month. The 03A4 went to Patrick in TX.
    2
  12144. No.
    2
  12145. Jonathan already has one (probably a bunch of them) in the Armouries.

  12154. I have - it is very impressive!

  12155. Au contraire, the food on Iceland is uniformly excellent.
    2
  12156. You guys get the special bonus content ;)
    2
  12157. An Icelandic Viking being named Frederick Four-Fingers is actually one of the less remarkable parts of this story, historically speaking. It's a name that would fit into the time and culture very well.
    2
  12158. @TheArklyte Only a few dozen had been made for testing when the war started. I have seen one of them myself (in the reserve of the French Army Museum), but only one.
    2
  12159. The complexity of the design and the quality of the execution are two separate things that are often conflated.
    2
  12160. There are no screws.
    2
  12161. Yes, that's true. In this case, the old one was originally the same length as the new one.
    2
  12162. That is 100% thanks to C&Rsenal.
    2
  12163. It's on the C&Rsenal channel: https://youtu.be/-hSZbo8Hvn4 Episode 4 is over there as well.

  12176. Just one through the match (unless you sign up for two spots...), using a rifle and pistol you bring. Most people use some flavor of AR and modern pistol.
    2
  12177. Indeed...
    2
  12178. admin@forgottenweapons.com
    2
  12179. There were about 200 semiauto FAMAS imported in the late 1980s. I have one of them.
    2
  12180. Surplus French Army rangers.
    2
  12181. Me too. :)
    2
  12182. They are surplus French Indochina/Algeria rangers.
    2
  12183. I have a MAS 44, two MAS 49s, and a MAS 49/56 (also a 49/56 MSE). Their mags are indeed much more durable, as they were not intended to be disposable.
    2
  12184. The fragile part is the feed lips.
    2
  12185. Yeah, they did. My answer was about the Type 94, but I said Type 14 at least once.
    2
  12186. Yes, I have spoken to the guy making them. Very cool, although I prefer the Lage conversion for general practicality. A slowed-down M11 still suffers from terrible sights and stocks.
    2
  12187. Lage Max-11/15
    2
  12188. Not yet.
    2
  12189. Yes, but it wasn't actually me in it. :)
    2
  12190. Lage Max 11/15
    2
  12191. Full30 still can't handle long videos, so I don't bother uploading Q&As over there.
    2
  12192. Lage MAX-11/15.
    2
  12193. Lage Max-11/15.
    2
  12194. Lage Max-11/15
    2
  12195. Yes, the 1889 Belgian and 1891 Argentine Mausers are very similar.
    2
  12196. No, because it does not use self-contained metallic cartridges nor smokeless powder.
    2
  12197. C&Rsenal
    2
  12198. It's hard to see.
    2
  12199. Short recoil is actually a very common operating system, used by almost all semiauto pistols today. I'm not sure what sort of stress you're envisioning, but short recoil doesn't necessarily put any more load on a mechanism than a gas operated design.
    2
  12200. The semi builds are done by Midwest Metal Creations.
    2
  12201. Not that I'm aware of...
    2
  12202. You would drain the water when the gun was not in use, ideally after firing enough to get the inside of the jacket hot enough to quickly evaporate any leftover droplets. In modern use, most guys who own guns like these use an antifreeze solution in place of water, to prevent the possibility of rusting.
    2
  12203. Barrel length does not affect mechanical accuracy. Being a fixed barrel, I expect it was a very accurate gun, although I have not found any original sources to say one way or the other.
    2
  12204. +Atreju * No, water-cooled guns are no longer in use. Instead, modern sustained-fire machine guns have quickly-changeable barrels so the crew can swap them out when they get too hot.
    2
  12205. Maybe?
    2
  12206. Yes, absolutely.
    2
  12207. Just proving my own point. ;)
    2
  12208. I do.
    2
  12209. Yes
    2
  12210. I ran out of space for text in the description - here's the link: https://www.forgottenweapons.com/russian-silent-ammunition/
    2
  12211. That's the spring guide. The barrel is the bottom one.
    2
  12212. That's my PO Box number, which YouTube now interprets as a hashtag.
    2
  12213. No, I have not.
    2
  12214. That's what they called him at FN - Le Maître
    2
  12215. It's not a machine gun, so no.
    2
  12216. The nipple is a replaceable part, and those flats fit a wrench used to install and remove it.
    2
  12217. Daniel Defense revivified it...I'm filming one of the new ones right now, and it's not bad. Definitely fixed some of the issues of the original Hudson.
    2
  12218. Nice save :)
    2
  12219. Lots of practice. :)
    2
  12220. As soon as I find one, yes.
    2
  12221. +quarktron Not very.
    2
  12222. Nothing prevents you from making a copy today.
    2
  12223. +Erik Westin Karl has highly recommended it, but I don't have a Windows emulator set up on my machine.
    2
  12224. +John G Thank you!

  12225. +BranchySpore700 A Swedish rolling block and an 1898 Krag.
    2
  12226. +randomviewer896 They didn't seem necessary; more like a holdover from television programming where you could turn on the TV and not know what you were watching.
    2
  12227. +Tagzer Yeah, that's where I work. And yep, it's a Steam icon.
    2
  12228. Why is everyone asking about my shoes?
    2
  12229. No. It doesn't heat up that quickly.
    2
  12230. I have several videos on the Madsen...
    2
  12231. Danners.
    2
  12232. Yes, they did. I have no idea if it's some sort of branding thing, but they didn't say anything about it to me.
    2
  12233. I am happy that I actually put out my opinion on the VHS-2 a couple months ago, before I had any idea Springfield was going to import them.
    2
  12234. I didn't mention it in the video because I didn't know what it would be when I was filming. Looks like Springfield says $2000.
    2
  12235. That's the VHS-1, and yes I will.
    2
  12236. It's my favorite modern bullpup, yes.
    2
  12237. That's certainly part of it.
    2
  12238. It's coming.
    2
  12239. +FinalLugiaGuardian I believe so, yes.
    2
  12240. I already have one...
    2
  12241. Yes, it does. They was fired form a rest, at a known distance, on a static target, with a spotter. Not quite the same as combat conditions.
    2
  12242. Danke! :) As for a subscribers' match, we more or less started doing that this year on InRangeTV with Desert Brutality. Not quite the same sort of match, but a lot of fun!
    2
  12243. Monthly, I think...
    2
  12244. Left hand and left eye dominant. There are left-handed rifles out there, but I don't use them.
    2
  12245. Marine, vaccine, routine.
    2
  12246. No, not yet.
    2
  12247. It was not supposed to publish until next week. It will be back on its proper schedule.
    2
  12248. Two Frommer Stops converted to open bolt firing without triggers! :)
    2
  12249. In the US, this would be considered two machine guns.
    2
  12250. +Malcrow Alogoran The sights on this rifle are just fine. That size is normal and appropriate.
    2
  12251. +kowualsky What makes the BAR and MAG not toggle locked, IMO, is that they have a locking shoulder in the receiver that keeps the action closed, while a toggle lock uses just the geometry of the toggle assembly to remain closed.
    2
  12252. +viRTua1ZoMbie Residual gas pressure in the chamber pushing backwards on the cartridge case.
    2
  12253. That section only includes one item; a belt loader. I suspect that since the PK belts are interchangeable with Maxim and SG43 belts, he figured it would be helpful to include despite being outside the official scope of the book.
    2
  12254. You only get early access to every video at the $20 level. I post a few book reviews for all Patrons when there are limited supplies of used copies around for a particular book.
    2
  12255. Normally a Canon XA-20, but this was done with an iPhone 6+.
    2
  12256. Made in Sweden; bought by Finland.
    2
  12257. J Ballew Yeah, 76mm - typo on my part.
    2
  12258. That's because he's a European, so he's fluent in something like 87 different languages. Or so it seems.
    2
  12259. Generally speaking a GPMG is in a rifle caliber, belt fed, and fired from either a bipod or tripod. An LMG is magazine fed and doesn't necessarily need a tripod. A squad automatic weapon is in an intermediate cartridge.
    2
  12260. Generally speaking, new production ammunition is cheaper today than it was a hundred years ago.
    2
  12261. No, the sound would be identical.
    2
  12262. My reaction would be "This is the best possible way to go out".
    2
  12263. It's a WWII recognition training aid.
    2
  12264. A Chassepot action.
    2
  12265. No, these were not used in combat.
    2
  12266. Its current owner does not plan to sell it, as far as I know. If he could, it would not be in the US, because as a machine gun it cannot be imported.
    2
  12267. That video posts next week.
    2
  12268. Tell YouTube, not me.
    2
  12269. +Primarch359 Nope, these were filmed a couple weeks ago.
    2
  12270. Not historically accurate; the movie got that rifle wrong.
    2
  12271. The PSL is an AK variant, not a Dragunov
    2
  12272. That is not a Dragunov, it is a large AK.
    2
  12273. I'm working on that. :)
    2
  12274. There will be; it's filmed. Not sure when it will post though.
    2
  12275. I was living right next-door to the shop, when I filmed that. I moved many years ago, and it's just not practical to continue the series.
    2
  12276. My mother made it for me, actually.
    2
  12277. If you check out the previous BUG match video I did with a Vektor CP-1, you can see me do a lot better on the same day and same course of fire with a better pistol.
    2
  12278. Tube detonations are possible. I know this first hand, second hand, and from reading early military trials reports.
    2
  12279. I think the few that survived WW1 ended up in Spain as military aid in the 30s. Or maybe were sold to the Finns.
    2
  12280. I DONT KNOW; SOMETIME???
    2
  12281. Actually, I purchased the bottle at the distillery in Voiron. :)
    2
  12282. As a general rule, 20mm and larger bore diameter is a defined as a cannon.
    2
  12283. Everything French-made except experimental stuff. So it will include rare variations like the 49/56 MSE, Indochinese and Senegalese Berthiers, etc. Does not cover things like French contract Remington Rolling Blocks or K98ks made under French occupation of Mauser though.
    2
  12284. She can also do burpees.
    2
  12285. We will be selling autographed copies. You can sign up for email updates at FrenchRifleBook.com to be alerted when it's available.
    2
  12286. Varusteleka
    2
  12287. We are currently anticipating delivery in January.
    2
  12288. Hope you enjoy it!
    2
  12289. I would like to do it someday, but it isn't happening any time soon. Sorry!
    2
  12290. +Vanya Secundus These guys did not have a PIAT, but I will definitely have a chance to do a video on one sooner or later.
    2
  12291. +Kalzone_kat There are a lot of different types of warheads out there, and I would suspect that some do have safety pins.
    2
  12292. +crocop195 Correct, the Panzerfaust did not use a rocket motor.
    2
  12293. +John Smith Lots of different type of warhead out there.
    2
  12294. +supervivet911 Nope, just friction.
    2
  12295. No. Stoner magazines only work in the Stoner 63 and 63A.
    2
  12296. Weird - almost like computer game representations aren't actually real guns. :)
    2
  12297. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-merino-wool-hoodie/30651
    2
  12298. The AR18 is a short stroke piston, and mostly stamped.
    2
  12299. For a military blank-firing adapter.
    2
  12300. Not these specific guns, but a selection of AR10s were in there.
    2
  12301. Sorry, I goofed the editing and that part was left out. The muzzle device just unscrews off the barrel once you press in a locking plunger (like on an AK). The muzzle device is what locks the bas block in place, so once it's removed the gas block can slide off.
    2
  12302. Yeah, but I didn't have one in time.
    2
  12303. No.
    2
  12304. Myth and Reality of the Ross MkIII Rifle
    2
  12305. The Hellcat had not been released when I filmed this...
    2
  12306. The cameraman is a tripod.
    2
  12307. M14 vs FG42 is an excellent way to show that engineering can, in fact, dramatically impact felt recoil.
    2
  12308. Definitely. The side effect would be that their sales would drop to zero because nobody would be willing to buy the proprietary ammunition.
    2
  12309. It didn't half; it was simply empty. The R9 doesn't lock open.
    2
  12310. 7.62x25mm, open bolt.
    2
  12311. No, this post-dates the Suomi about about 15 years.
    2
  12312. Yes.
    2
  12313. Yes.
    2
  12314. Nope. The closest thing would be .30 Pedersen, which isn't interchangeable and is rarer than 7.65 Browning Long.
    2
  12315. Mostly just for the videos, and when I'm working in the shop or outdoors. :)
    2
  12316. Yeah, but Bill Ruger has been dead for 22 years now.
    2
  12317. Agua chiltepin.
    2
  12318. Thumb triggers have been around for centuries; there's a reason they never became mainstream. They are not as good.
    2
  12319. I will film an Orita when I find one. I do have a video on the Fiat 1914; not sure when it will post yet.
    2
  12320. Depends on the details. Some are interesting, some are not.
    2
  12321. The bomber was a Lancaster; the SMG was a Lanchester.
    2
  12322. The Lend-Lease Act wasn't passed until 1941. Before that, it was cash.
    2
  12323. Lancaster is the bomber. Lanchester is the submachine gun.
    2
  12324. Not British, hence not in this video.
    2
  12325. Thanks!
    2
  12326. When I go to Australia, I will be sure to do the Owen, Austen, and F1.
    2
  12327. In the grip.
    2
  12328. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYxd-fwlkIQ
    2
  12329. Gracias :)
    2
  12330. All three.
    2
  12331. Thank you very much!
    2
  12332. The Johnson LMG is miserable to shoot. The FG is absolutely better.
    2
  12333. The NJ police used the P7M8
    2
  12334. De rien!
    2
  12335. At the end of the Kickstarter; June 19th or thereabouts.
    2
  12336. +alphaonedelta CH No.
    2
  12337. +ken stewart Most likely means Lake City (a US arsenal) made in 1970.
    2
  12338. The Texas Gun Guy I used to live really close to the shop where we filmed them, and don't anymore. My friend Chuck still does some video for GunLab from time to time, though.
    2
  12339. The one at the end of the video is definitely the one I filmed; the museum director told me so.
    2
  12340. You will.
    2
  12341. Yes, the AR10s were specifically used by the Paras. They were not made in Portugal; they were made by AI in the Netherlands, on contract for the Portuguese military. Portugal planned to adopt the AR-10 for all of their services, but the Dutch government intervened to shut down production, and the G3 was Portugal's second choice.
    2
  12342. I appreciate the offer, but I have one myself.
    2
  12343. It was in stock yesterday - sorry!
    2
  12344. I said the Lebel was not conducive to being made into a carbine. By 1935, the Lebel was thoroughly obsolete, and it was at that point shortened to the R35 model you linked to. That has a 3-round magazine (same as the early Berthier), while being slower to load, heavier, and slower to cycle.
    2
  12345. Weight.
    2
  12346. Lack of training, or bad habits. The foreign volunteers don't, and they try to get the Kurdish fighters to stop doing it.
    2
  12347. "40mm Automatic Gun M1" is the official name. https://maritime.org/doc/boforstm252/img/cover.jpg
    2
  12348. Alas, no. When I was at RIA to film, that one was out at a display elsewhere. :(
    2
  12349. No, you cannot.
    2
  12350. I have a video filmed on the T48, but have not published it yet.
    2
  12351. Yup :)
    2
  12352. Yes.
    2
  12353. No, they did not.
    2
  12354. Perhaps...
    2
  12355. i have zero control over the content of the ads that Youtube runs.
    2
  12356. Breaking a fixed firing pin on an open-bolt submachine gun is basically impossible.
    2
  12357. Apex was one of the very first sponsors of Forgotten Weapons, many years ago now. :)
    2
  12358. I did; Patrick's is nicer.
    2
  12359. I don't generally take it with me when traveling... :)
    2
  12360. I've been planning to do that, but I need to find a good Ross to use first.
    2
  12361. Not great; not bad
    2
  12362. Why haven’t you seen me carry a concealed weapon? Maybe I just do a good job of concealing it :)
    2
  12363. We do mention that
    2
  12364. eForm 1 has been available for a while.
    2
  12365. NFA tax stamp revenue goes into the general government fund; ATF doesn't actually get any of it.
    2
  12366. Yes, assuming they actually meet the goal.
    2
  12367. Yes, you can upload the photo electronically too.
    2
  12368. Here in AZ, my county Sheriff can do fingerprints for people (not just for NFA stuff, but often for employment background checks). I haven't asked them about getting the EFT file, but that's where I would suggest starting.
    2
  12369. Yes.
    2
  12370. Google is your friend.
    2
  12371. Basically.
    2
  12372. Yes, bazookas are legally considered Destructive Devices.
    2
  12373. Muzzleloaders are not Federally recognized as firearms, and may be delivered directly to you. Cartridge-firing guns, however, are firearms. If they were made before 1899 they are antiques and can be shipped direct, but if they were made in 1899 or later (regardless of when the design was first produced) they must go through a dealer.
    2
  12374. Not yet...
    2
  12375. I filmed one; it's coming.
    2
  12376. To make the numbers different from other models of pistol Astra was making at the time.
    2
  12377. Compared to the one they did adopt in large numbers, La Grande Chonkeuse
    2
  12378. It is actually a test of how well the sights are factory zeroed.
    2
  12379. Nope.
    2
  12380. Hi-Point supports this idea...
    2
  12381. It's not useless, it's just a test of how well Hi-Point zeroes their sights at the factory.
    2
  12382. No, the Finnish guns were all in 7.35mm.
    2
  12383. They made 20, 30, and 40-round mags for them.
    2
  12384. I fired a reproduction of one...
    2
  12385. Yep. Remove the dart launching insert, and you're back to regular .45ACP.
    2
  12386. None of the propellent gasses leave the body of the dart, so there is no loud sound generated.
    2
  12387. Everything on the Bigot is pretty simple to make on a lathe (except the fins, which were simple stampings). No CNC needed.
    2
  12388. It is not nearly powerful enough to throw lines - or penetrate sheet metal. I can easily throw the dart farther than the gun can fire it.
    2
  12389. +LittleMikey They are basically silent
    2
  12390. Full score; no penalty.
    2
  12391. You underestimate how many people shoot themselves with guns they think are unloaded. That's why mag safeties exist.
    2
  12392. It can be hard to tell when back-lit, but all the holes are covered with brown tape after each shooter.
    2
  12393. It means chambering a round and then topping the magazine up with one addition cartridge. Named after the single cartridge given to Barney Fife on the Andy Griffith Show.
    2
  12394. We did check the zero, yes. My first round performance was just me jerking the trigger.
    2
  12395. A C&R licensee still has to go through the NFA process but it once the stamp it approved it can ship to them directly from and out of state dealer instead of needing to go through a second dealer in state. There are also a couple states where the only machine guns you can own are C&R ones.
    2
  12396. I usually know what I will be filming, and have notes and research prepared before I arrive.
    2
  12397. It's my PO Box number, which YouTube now thinks is a hashtag.
    2
  12398. It's my post office box number, but I think maybe YouTube is interpreting it as a hashtag...
    2
  12399. It's a book on German WW2 semiauto rifles, titled "Hitler's Garands"
    2
  12400. Henk Visser.
    2
  12401. I don't know of any, unfortunately.
    2
  12402. No, it is not a pinfire conversion.

  12403. Yes

    2
  12405. Do you have lots of experience with sabotaged ammunition full of explosives?
    2
  12406. Yes, I did.
    2
  12407. What I said was that the bullet acted as its own bore obstruction when pressure got too high.
    2
  12408. My injury was a paper cut compared to Scott's.
    2
  12409. https://shop.forgottenweapons.com/collections/shop-all/products/carhartt-force-®-ridgefield-shirt
    2
  12410. Yes, and it's linked in the end card of this video.
    2
  12411. Right up there with recoilless rifles.
    2
  12412. I said the bullet acted as its own bore obstruction when pressure built too fast.
    2
  12413. Standard proof load rounds are typically 30% above rated cartridge pressure.
    2
  12414. No. This stuff was adopted by the military in the 80s.
    2
  12415. No you haven't, because we never said what it was. :)
    2
  12416. Ridgefield: https://shop.forgottenweapons.com/collections/shop-all/products/carhartt-force-®-ridgefield-shirt
    2
  12417. Not too effectively; they lost.
    2
  12418. What would you do with an Oerlikon? SMGs are easy to take to the range and enjoy.
    2
  12419. +diamened Yes.
    2
  12420. The Bren is a development of the ZB-33, by way of the ZB-30 and ZB-26.
    2
  12421. Demo Ranch is entertainment, and like TV, everything is presented for maximum drama. What actually happened is that the recoil guide screw wasn't screwed in all the way, and walked out as he fired. Screwing it in is part of the assembly process; not exactly difficult.
    2
  12422. Mannlicher's Revenge
    2
  12423. He didn't screw them in, or possibly so many rounds were fired by previous reviewers that they started to walk out. You take them out as a part of the basic disassembly process; not exactly difficult to make sure they are fully screwed in.
    2
  12424. Unfortunately no - it had not been released when I filmed this.
    2
  12425. The action slides rearward in the lower frame to help absorb recoil, but it you squeeze it together there it won't work.
    2
  12426. I don't have anything specific in mind - I'm thinking I'll just use it for general expenses for the site. Things like ammo for video shoots and 2-gun matches, video accessories like spare batteries and SD cards, gas, and so on.
    2
  12427. It would have allowed more leverage when opening the bolt, but this rifle was nice and smooth to operate.
    2
  12428. ***** It was a Finn capture rifle, which Century rebuilt as a sniper.
    2
  12429. ***** The first Germand SMG was the MP18, designed at the end of WWI (not counting the trench carbines based on the C96 Mauser, which were only made in small numbers), and it had no relation whatsoever to the Federov. Frankly, the only novel aspect of the Federov was giving it select-fire capacity, which wasn't actually much of a benefit (it wasn't in an intermediate cartridge; it used 6.5x50 SR Japanese). A whole bunch of semiauto shoulder rifles existed before it, including some with detachable box magazines (Mondragon, Madsen 1896, Farquhar-Hill, etc). These, and the Federov, used locked breech actions and rifle cartridges, where true submachine guns were unlocked and used pistol cartridges. The Federov is a nightmare internally - if you disassemble one it will come as no surprise that the design never went any further. Many of the early repeating rifle designs left a lot to be desired though, and the Federov isn't necessarily any worse than lots of other contemporaries. The "original" designation of the MP44 was actually MKb, or machine carbine - a technically accurate description for models produced in 1942. I don't know why you say its internals don't look like a rifle; they certainly do.
    2
  12430. Pogey Bait When I shoot right handed it's either because a competition stage specifies it, or because the lighting for video is significantly better that way.
    2
  12431. Yup.
    2
  12432. It was made in the US...
    2
  12433. +Deathmachinept It was just badly adjusted on this video
    2
  12434. Probably pretty decent. https://youtu.be/szlJ9qy_SCg
    2
  12435. Yes.

  12437. MSRP is $3299. This one was a loaner for filming.
    2
  12438. I did that years ago.
    2
  12439. No, and especially not at the time of year I filmed this.
    2
  12440. I made that a separate video: https://youtu.be/oboHoqtVl3o
    2
  12441. I have a video about that in about 2 weeks...
    2
  12442. Xerxes1688 It is a button to manually lock the bolt open. It's helpful for loading clips, and essential for disassembly. You have to lock the bolt open inside the rear cover in order to remove the two as a complete assembly from the receiver.

  12443. +Jack Ryan http://www.apfeltor.com
    2
  12444. Yes, that's how they were fielded on the eastern front. Whole units at a time.
    2
  12445. Malta is an EU member state with some of the best firearms laws in the world for collectors.
    2
  12446. If a machine gun is registered on a Form 4 (ie, transferrable) it can be owned by anyone who can pass the background check. If not, it's can't be. The only place where inheritance is relevant is that the transfer tax ($200) is waived for transfers from a deceased person's estate.
    2
  12447. It would depend on how the amnesty was written.
    2
  12448. Yes, it would.
    2
  12449. +Nicolas Mora Yep, that is a Mauser.
    2
  12450. Snipers had bent bolts.
    2
  12451. +HighwayMule I don't think that is the case.
    2
  12452. SIG was not the first to do it, but they were the ones to make it successful.
    2
  12453. My mistake...I only have that HS2000, not an XD. :)
    2
  12454. As soon as I get my hands on one.
    2
  12455. Repetition (semiauto)
    2
  12456. Yes, and we will be doing a video on it sooner or later.
    2
  12457. All regular .45ACP is subsonic.
    2
  12458. Sure, I suppose - but it would be a lot cheaper to just buy an intact complete gun.
    2
  12459. All standard .45ACP is subsonic, so there isn't a low-pressure subsonic version made.
    2
  12460. The half moon clip acts as the spacer.
    2
  12461. You are seeing spall from the steel target kicking up dirt.
    2
  12462. I need an FR-F2...
    2
  12463. Every FAMAS can be converted to lefty without additional parts.
    2
  12464. Yes, it is interchangeable.
    2
  12465. Wolf. It's nice to have a rifle actually designed to use the cheap stuff. :)
    2
  12466. Left eye and hand dominant.
    2
  12467. Yes, but it was also detachable.
    2
  12468. If the manual safety is engaged, it can't fire from pressure on the sear.
    2
  12469. Most people say the 14 is clearly superior, but I'm not convinced. They both have pros and cons, and I need to do more shooting with both before I can make a reasoned judgement.
    2
  12470. Yes, unless they hit something hard and get deformed.
    2
  12471. Verdigre
    2
  12472. A grip fin is an option from KE, yes.
    2
  12473. Your LGS is wise in regard to the other polymer AR receivers out there, but the KP15 is designed from he ground up to be polymer and does not have the weaknesses of the receivers that just copy the aluminum design.
    2
  12474. The two main ones are Rock Island and James D Julia.
    2
  12475. The early models were not ready for military use.
    2
  12476. Actually, raising the boiling point reduces the cooling capacity. The way water cooling works in guns is that the barrel and water heat up to the boiling point, and then addition generated heat boils off water rather than raising the temperature. If the boiling point goes up, it means that the gun will be running at a higher temperature.
    2
  12477. It's posting next weekend.
    2
  12478. Nope.
    2
  12479. 75, not 750.
    2
  12480. Shooting is tomorrow.
    2
  12481. No, it is not regulated by BATFE.
    2
  12482. There were actually a bunch of revolving rifle designs in the 1800s.
    2
  12483. Basically, it is simpler, stronger, and lighter. The downsides are less adjustability and customizability.
    2
  12484. They are fixing that issue today.
    2
  12485. We don't plan to at this time.
    2
  12486. No chance at all, sorry.
    2
  12487. Brownells is fixing that today, I believe.
    2
  12488. Yup.
    2
  12489. No. We don't have pricing firm yet, but one of our big goals is to keep it affordable. We're not going to compete with bottom-tier $500 crap, but it's not going to be extravagant.
    2
  12490. I will convey your suggestion to the hotel management.
    2
  12491. Most of the gas trap gun did reasonably well at the time of their introduction, but none were wildly successful.
    2
  12492. Yes. It's the same ammunition used in the Maxim Pompom.
    2
  12493. No, I didn't go to Norway.
    2
  12494. I have one filmed, not sure yet when it will publish.
    2
  12495. With the number of videos I post, that would cause a ton of logistical problems for me.
    2
  12496. Often because pistol magazines held 8, and the ammo was packaged in multiples of 8.
    2
  12497. Index finger works both triggers in succession. And yes, the system is still used today, although not a lot.
    2
  12498. A whole series of Hotchkiss-based guns used them, in eluding the US 1909, the French 1900 and 1914, the Japanese Type 92, Turkish 1922/4, etc.
    2
  12499. Oui.
    2
  12500. No, it never used cordite. You can identify Ballers D by the head stamp.
    2
  12501. Sign up for the email notification; we should have more available in a day or two.
    2
  12502. Garand Thumb does what he does, and I do what I gotta do.
    2
  12503. In the movie it was 12 million split into three bags.
    2
  12504. Mine is a BRN-16A1 lower, but my own build. Sorry. :(
    2
  12505. It's the movie "Heat": https://youtu.be/ZL9fnVtz_lc
    2
  12506. Two Colt 733 clones and an Action Arms Galil.
    2
  12507. If you have not contacted shop@forgottenweapons.com about getting a replacement, please do so. Corrected size vests are in the process of being made, although it is an excruciatingly slow process.
    2
  12508. Heat
    2
  12509. We used reams of paper.
    2
  12510. A surprising number of politicians and generals did lose sons in WW1...
    2
  12511. No. My certification is my body of work.
    2
  12512. Yes, you will.
    2
  12513. It's a trip to France, with a Dutch bus driver.
    2
  12514. MHT does do Eastern Front tours...
    2
  12515. Yep, there was also a Type 19 copy of the 38, which was unrelated to the pistols, which are slightly modified copies of the Type 14 Nambu.
    2
  12516. I have a Russian PKM belt loader which does that. You can toss rounds into its feed hopper randomly, and it will turn them so they're in proper orientation prior to loading them into the belt.
    2
  12517. Yeah, using a rimmed round in an SMG is possible (in addition to the early Soviet guns in 7.62x38R, there were also Owen gun prototypes made in .38 S&W), but not a really sound idea. Magazines will be a lot more difficult to make reliable than if rimless cartridges are used.
    2
  12518. They were converted by Indonesia.
    2
  12519. Those are regular pistols mounted to the wall with pegs in the barrels.
    2
  12520. No, the cocking lever does not go far enough back to trip the trigger.
    2
  12521. Last April, I reviewed a rock...
    2
  12522. I don't think we are talking about the same Maxim gun. Or possibly you are a dimensional traveller from some other reality.
    2
  12523. Yes.
    2
  12524. +Johan N. B. Probably.
    2
  12525. +cryhavoc999 I'm sure Brno would have been happen to make a 9x25 version if someone had wanted it, but as far as I know there weren't any ordered in anything other than 9x19.
    2
  12526. +Krista Dís Guðmundsdóttir It was expensive and time consuming to make.
    2
  12527. +Edward Ross That is the very first video in the series, and it will publish tomorrow morning.
    2
  12528. +deadextra The antlers are original, and not made of wood.
    2
  12529. I found just one of them in their last shipment of Gras rifles, and it was in really poor condition.
    2
  12530. Apparently so!
    2
  12531. Actually, no - it has been in the IRCGN collection since well before the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
    2
  12532. This collection includes more than just criminal guns, it also has a bunch of developmental prototypes and military bring backs.
    2
  12533. I did.
    2
  12534. It's my PO Box, which YouTube now thinks is a hashtag.
    2
  12535. I was just shooting right handed to get a better camera angle with the angle of the sun.
    2
  12536. You really think I didn't try that?
    2
  12537. Yes.
    2
  12538. Not a penny. I had no interaction with SIG on this; the gun came from a private dealer. In fact, the only money that changed hands was me paying the return shipping on the gun after I filmed it.
    2
  12539. Yes. I totally blanked on that.
    2
  12540. Legally, this rifle was an SBR.
    2
  12541. My mother made it for me.
    2
  12542. That was his initial guesstimate, but it turned out to be much too low.
    2
  12543. Lol...if you find the bribe, please send it to me.
    2
  12544. We're in the midst of a crisis?
    2
  12545. Steel cased ammunition has never been a fire hazard. Steel core and steel jacket can be, but the case does not cause fires.
    2
  12546. https://youtu.be/f4gst0QoMw4
    2
  12547. You're right, I totally blanked on that.
    2
  12548. All practical effects ;)
    2
  12549. The US military has very little recent experience with being on the receiving end of artillery and air strikes. That sort of thing lowers a lot of life expectancies.
    2
  12550. Thanks! My mother made it for me. :)
    2
  12551. My understanding is that there were significant reliability problems with the polymer-cased ammo.
    2
  12552. Yes.
    2
  12553. That's just a side effect of the microphone clipping out loud noises.
    2
  12554. Sorry - I have no control over the ads.
    2
  12555. I don't have the time to add a podcast to what I am already doing, otherwise it would be fun and I would enjoy it.
    2
  12556. No, it really doesn't.
    2
  12557. Yes, always have been.
    2
  12558. No.
    2
  12559. I have an Edgertronic high speed camera.
    2
  12560. PO Box 309, Rillito AZ 85654. Ballistic rated only, please.
    2
  12561. Clearly you have never fired an M10.
    2
  12562. An Edgertronic SC1.
    2
  12563. No.
    2
  12564. It's really not comparable; one is a bipod mounted machine gun and one is a bolt action rifle.
    2
  12565. I asked him about gas impingement vs piston systems, and that bit of the interview will be in an upcoming video.
    2
  12566. 20mm is where the definition of "cannon" begins
    2
  12567. It's a dummy selector bar. Rifle is just semiauto.
    2
  12568. No, he did not have a CompM.
    2
  12569. I have the rifle in my office, and I will be shipping it to the winner's FFL in about 3 weeks. If you think it's sus, I'm sorry.
    2
  12570. Definitely, as soon as I find one to film.
    2
  12571. You would have heard me explain why if you hadn't skipped it. :)
    2
  12572. I already have one; search for VIS 35 Radom.
    2
  12573. 8x57
    2
  12574. https://youtu.be/Vg2fSD2Vl58
    2
  12575. I have a DeLisle video filmed, but it hasn't posted yet.
    2
  12576. +SwineNahNah And BTW, we promised it to them next week.
    2
  12577. +zendell37 I have a list before I leave for an auction house, but I lucked out that the next-door Poulin auction house happened to be selling a big helmet collection and let me borrow a couple appropriate pieces for my videos. :)
    2
  12578. +braincowlol Yep, that's exactly what it is. Good eye!
    2
  12579. +Douglas Fulmer The difference is a few millimeters, and changing it would require reengineering virtually the entire gun. Not nearly worth doing when delivery timetables are tight and the existing mags work fine with 8x57.
    2
  12580. +Jersey Mike's Rail Videos That's an FN-D, not a wz.28.
    2
  12581. +rockerkitch1990 No, those probably would have been smaller smokeless rifles. The 4-bore was effective because of mass, and velocity is much more effective at perforating things like steel plate.
    2
  12582. +W1se0ldg33zer That's putting it mildly.
    2
  12583. +Kevin Shum No, it is exempt as a sporting weapon.
    2
  12584. +Jeff CyberCop It's a British Navy pullover.
    2
  12585. +The Seukonnen It is exempt for sporting purposes - just like virtually all 12ga and 20ga shotguns.
    2
  12586. +William Williams Yeah...don't do that.
    2
  12587. +Arnan de Gans Literally double the size.
    2
  12588. It has rifled barrels.
    2
  12589. +TruAnRksT It was loaned to a museum, not donated.
    2
  12590. +no no It's an inventory tag from a previous owner
    2
  12591. +John Warren It was some previous owner's inventory tag.
    2
  12592. 7.62x39 is absolutely an intermediate cartridge.
    2
  12593. Yup, because "sturmgewehr" its German for "Armalite". Also why Armalite made the Armalite Rifle-17 shotgun.
    2
  12594. Yes, it is.
    2
  12595. Give me 6 or 8 months...
    2
  12596. +AlanH450 The is a reasonable idea, but I didn't see any place on the rifle where it would have fit.
    2
  12597. PsylockeFios It is a post-sample tube gun.
    2
  12598. clidelivingston Every aspect of gun design is a tradeoff, so it is impossible to have a "perfect" gun. What makes it good for one thing also makes it bad for another thing. It's not that I dislike most guns, but I want to discuss what those tradeoffs are.
    2
  12599. Riki-Oh Sorry - I didn't notice that one in the racks, or else I would have done a video on it (I finished my filming for the September auction about a week ago)
    2
  12600. diasirea I appreciate it, but I do have clips - just didn't have them with me.
    2
  12601. https://youtu.be/2pQdBXoVLrA
    2
  12602. Yes.
    2
  12603. The UK adopted the metric system in 1965.
    2
  12604. "Vertically traveling locking block" I think would be most accurate.
    2
  12605. SporadicallySane Yup.
    2
  12606. Firstk Lastp I think you are (1) drawing rather extended conclusions from a trivial observation and (2) making a judgement about rifle technique that is unfounded in the first place.
    2
  12607. Unscrew the front of the suppressor, pull out the old one, put in a new one.
    2
  12608. Yes, all normal .32ACP is subsonic.
    2
  12609. All normal .32ACP is subsonic.
    2
  12610. Yes, it can be fired without a magazine inserted.
    2
  12611. It was subsonic - all standard .32ACP is subsonic.
    2
  12612. Yes.
    2
  12613. When you push the bolt forward you are compressing the firing pin spring, and you have to maintain forward pressure until it's locked in place (much like an SMLE bolt). You are also feeding the round out of the mag and into the chamber, and (again like a bolt action rifle) doing it quickly and smoothly is easier than doing it slowly.
    2
  12614. Replacing the wipes is quick and easy.
    2
  12615. Yes, I filmed this in Norway.
    2
  12616. Varusteleka, of course
    2
  12617. Sorry - if it helps, it was brass and linked ammo; not chains.
    2
  12618. All normal .32ACP is subsonic.
    2
  12619. Varusteleka Hardshell: https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-hardshell-jacket/63642
    2
  12620. Yes.
    2
  12621. Yeah, it's the report echoing off the hillside at the far end of the range.
    2
  12622. We call it Two Suns now.
    2
  12623. If I'd been aware of it at the time, I would have...
    2
  12624. No script; this was freeform. ;)
    2
  12625. They all drowned in Anchorage harbor.
    2
  12626. It's a Ballester Molina.
    2
  12627. The patents on the Model 1900 had expired by the time these started production.
    2
  12628. I don't know offhand, but probably one of the side plates.
    2
  12629. So that the rifling of the bullet will tighten instead of loosen them.
    2
  12630. +Shit guy https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9e3UCcU00TStxPreAQGbXjz4pyB1o0Xa
    2
  12631. Nope, all of them are equally good to me. Pick the one that works best for you. Thanks!
    2
  12632. It's like Poland was going to make the Stoner AK :)
    2
  12633. And he thinks it's real.
    2
  12634. I don't have enough expertise on this area to make an informed decision.
    2
  12635. Pretty sure it's .22, but if you're planning to place a serious bid you should confirm with RIA. The ones in 7.65mm are typically 2-barreled.
    2
  12636. bigpuzino If you are going to place a serious bid, you should call RIA and have them double check it. I' pretty sure it's a .22 - the ones out there in 7.65mm are typically 2-barreled ones.
    2
  12637. Yup.
    2
  12638. No, a half-cock alone does not pass muster for a safety in modern competition.
    2
  12639. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-tst-woolshell-jacket/59958

    2
  12641. Shot timer.
    2
  12642. That does not pass muster for modern match standards.
    2
  12643. Yes, I meant Mauser. Sorry!
    2
  12644. I expect it's a vet bringback from WW2.
    2
  12645. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-tst-woolshell-jacket/59958
    2
  12646. I am working on introducing the caber to 2-gun competitions.
    2
  12647. We cover that specifically in next week's Q&A...
    2
  12648. No kidding - I'm blown away!
    2
  12649. Stay tuned for my main video on Wednesday... ;)
    2
  12650. FWIW, the shipping is a flat rate for up to 6 books, so if you have one or two other people you can order together with, the shipping splits out as a much lower amount.
    2
  12651. We were able to drop international shipping a little bit through the fulfillment company we found. Still expensive though. And it's still a flat rate for to 6 copies, so ordering with one or more friends will drop your shipping per book a lot.
    2
  12652. Apparently - thanks! :)
    2
  12653. Yes; read the description.
    2
  12654. Wait until you see the video from the Radom factory...
    2
  12655. Not yet, but I'm still looking for one.
    2
  12656. They are generally considered expendable.
    2
  12657. +b00ce Yes, it really is Title I (non-NFA).
    2
  12658. When I can find one, I will.
    2
  12659. No, not yet.
    2
  12660. A Ballester-Molina.
    2
  12661. Sometimes, but those issues are generally not very serious. Taking an extra second or two to operate a right-handed safety or the like isn't much of a problem. Clearly, I'm not out to win first place in these matches, but rather to have fun and experience new guns.
    2
  12662. As Cg262 said, this match gets a lot more non-AR rifles than most matches of its type. AKs, Minis, SKSs, VZ-58s, FALs, pistol caliber carbines, a couple FS2000s...I've seen a bunch of different guns being used.
    2
  12663. In the US, the regulated part of a gun is the receiver. Machine guns like this Madsen come into the country as "parts kits", in which the receivers have been torch-cut into several pieces. Once here, companies like Midwest Metal Creations (or private individuals) manufacture new semiauto receivers and make any necessary modifications to the other parts to build them into live semiauto guns.
    2
  12664. No, those are green rk62 (Valmet) magazines.
    2
  12665. That its a different collection, not this one. And I'm not sure what is happening to hit, but I am told it was arranged for.
    2
  12666. https://youtu.be/8Q-e0O3x56k
    2
  12667. The wall of bayonets is actually a door.
    2
  12668. Palokangas - reference material for some of my videos.
    2
  12669. When I film in the auction hall, I use the backdrop with the physical logo. Sometimes, though, the hall is being used for other things, so then I film elsewhere in the building and use a digital logo.
    2
  12670. Yes, it was rebarreled in 1933.
    2
  12671. No, sorry.
    2
  12672. Heh...not a chance.
    2
  12673. https://shop.bbtv.com/collections/forgotten-weapons
    2
  12674. Pretty similar, in general.
    2
  12675. I have six videos/week; I don't expect them all to appeal to everyone.
    2
  12676. My primary rifle at that match was a Taiwanese T65.
    2
  12677. Yup, a slight one.
    2
  12678. +Throttle McCrackin That is Rock Island's cunning plan... :)
    2
  12679. No, the 4.85mm was going to be the replacement for the 7.62mm SLR.
    2
  12680. +Kyle Iverson The difference should be enough to prevent it.
    2
  12681. Actually, they are not bulky at all - especially the first variant.
    2
  12682. If you want to see a really huge gas piston, try the Hotchkiss Portative (in fact, you can see it in our video on that gun...)
    2
  12683. Kasumi97 Yes - but the MkB-42(H) wasn't related to the FG-42.
    2
  12684. Can't; I'll be traveling.
    2
  12685. Yes - HOWW has Android and iOS apps. Download in the App Store of your choice, and sign in...
    2
  12686. They are still at the printer - hopefully they should ship soon. We did get our advance proof copies, so they are getting close...
    2
  12687. No, I am not. I left that channel in 2019.
    2
  12688. No, I left InRange in late 2019.
    2
  12689. It has them - Android, iOS, Roku, and Amazon FireTV.
    2
  12690. Yeah, we are working on improving the newest videos section to make sure it's all in the right order.
    2
  12691. We've got much more than just those... ;)
    2
  12692. Yep, you will. Glad you liked the first volume!
    2
  12693. None yet. Still in progress.
    2
  12694. Tell Othais you want him to join! :)
    2
  12695. They have an open invitation - feel free to tell them you would like to see them on the app!
    2
  12696. Unfortunately, it also can lead to a "might makes right" mentality which is just as bad in the opposite direction.
    2
  12697. No, the Spectre and Suomi mags are not interchangeable. Both are quad-stack, but the similarity ends there.
    2
  12698. Yep, the SSD/HZA rifles are beautiful. They'll never be imported into the US, though, because the semiauto conversion doesn't come close to meeting ATF requirements.
    2
  12699. January.
    2
  12700. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-windproof-smock/34637
    2
  12701. When I filmed this, the 3+ had not been announced, and I didn't see it.
    2
  12702. Yes, especially if you put pressure on the bipod.
    2
  12703. No, at least not to me. It does its job, but I can't specifically feel it.
    2
  12704. Knight's Armament copied them for their rifles.
    2
  12705. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVSqnuA3HLA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcfCS-T99nc
    2
  12706. They are existing surplus ones.
    2
  12707. It was supposed to be 10% of the rifles, so just one marksman per group. In practice, virtually none were fielded with scopes.
    2
  12708. Different requirements to feed a round from a clip vs a tube magazine.
    2
  12709. The good ones certainly are. :)
    2
  12710. Yup.
    2
  12711. No, I was referring to Dogali.
    2
  12712. No, not really.
    2
  12713. https://youtu.be/YkOdwF1_E1A
    2
  12714. Lol...well played :)
    2
  12715. Led to a lot of accuracy problems on flintlocks in particular, as shooters would look away or close their eyes when they pulled the trigger.
    2
  12716. Historically, they haven't been all that successful. The ones we used in the video were designed/developed by Jim Sullivan, and can be bought through Surefire (both 60- and 100-round versions). They seem to work quite well, although the initial ones had some issues. I'd be happy to stand corrected on quad-stack mags if he has gotten a good reliable one going.
    2
  12717. I cover that when I get to the change to Enfield rifling, in an upcoming part of the series.
    2
  12718. It means black powder only.
    2
  12719. The A2 is a pretty happy ending, all things considered.
    2
  12720. If it were in the US, I would absolutely arrange it.
    2
  12721. The consequences of fluorescent lighting and high speed cameras.
    2
  12722. Yes, it is.
    2
  12723. Continental English.

  12724. +Phil Ley 1) I doubt it. I have shot one of these, and didn't notice anything particular unusual. 2) Without doing some research, it might have been a patent-avoidance issue is someone else already had a claim on a vertically-tilting bolt. 3) Yes, the handguard definitely gets hot with continuous firing. I think the idea is that it's better to have the radiator there to cool the gun faster and prevent heat-related accuracy and reliability problems, and the soldier shouldn't be holding iut that far forward anyway (this means you, Chris Costa). 4) Perhaps the AK?
    2
  12725. No.
    2
  12726. I haven't seen him without his helmet, so...
    2
  12727. They copied it, and did not use an original. I am quite sure.
    2
  12728. That was a P38 modified to look like a Bergmann.
    2
  12729. No, they made a prop lookalike.
    2
  12730. That gun was a P38 modified to look like a Bergmann.
    2
  12731. No, this was made from scratch I am sure.
    2
  12732. Some guy is wrong.
    2
  12733. 100%
    2
  12734. They made it from scratch.
    2
  12735. It's an inert solid model. Nothing moves on screen when he fires.
    2
  12736. Yes, I will be. I own one myself, so I can take it out and actually shoot it; just need to get it on the schedule.
    2
  12737. The conversion affects the weight, balance, and look - but not the recoil.
    2
  12738. No such thing, really. Almost every gun wobbly like that when you see it fire in slow motion.
    2
  12739. Sure, right up until it breaks the locking lugs off.
    2
  12740. Lighting and camera angles.
    2
  12741. tillmannfischer That other one was single action only, but this one is not.
    2
  12742. Yes.
    2
  12743. No.
    2
  12744. Full auto was still registered and subject to the transfer tax in 67.
    2
  12745. If I even get my hands on one, I would love to.
    2
  12746. Valmet.
    2
  12747. Otto Noizebarriers
    2
  12748. Because that's where the original Galil selector was, and moving it elsewhere would be tricky.
    2
  12749. No, everything I present in the video is already well-known in the collecting community. Anyone who has the skills to actually make a viable fake already has access to everything they need. More, actually, because there are subtleties that I don't get into in my videos.
    2
  12750. He has details on the contract rifles, as well as on FN's role helping to build the Kragujevac factory complex.

    2
  12768. +Al Stern I'm left-handed and left-eyed.
    2
  12769. I have learned a lot in the years since I filmed this particular video, and will eventually be replacing it with better ones of different patterns of Dreyse. The gas leakage misconception was too glaring to leave any longer, though. The video may not be perfect, but it's better now (and which I can edit out things fairly easily, it's much more difficult to edit in new information).
    2
  12770. +Nonii 92 Yeah! My office! ;)
    2
  12771. +There Be Game Yeah, it could well be a totally unique gun - pretty much every development process will have a few of those along the way. As for dating it to the beginning of the process, the features are all much more in line with the very early guns than the late ones. In addition, we have documentation of Walther's last-ditch Volkssturm pistol experiments, and this design is nowhere to be found among them.
    2
  12772. +Nonii 92 I expect so, yes. It may be sheet metal, but it's very heavy-duty sheet metal.
    2
  12773. +NekitaNet Heh...there are very, very few museums that could afford to buy these as a set.
    2
  12774. https://youtu.be/PtWEBcIP09E
    2
  12775. Because the owners usually don't want their guns fired and possible damaged right before selling them.
    2
  12776. Spoiler: I don't shoot it.
    2
  12777. Only on InRangeTV.
    2
  12778. The Yugo M56 perhaps?
    2
  12779. Yes.
    2
  12780. +Arrowdodger No, not as bad as the Streetsweeper. The caliber makes a big difference, though.
    2
  12781. +finalfantasy50 It's much less accurate, but can be done without too much trouble.
    2
  12782. +Freemyland I didn't notice it while shooting.
    2
  12783. +Lori McGeary Lead handloads.
    2
  12784. It is a law prohibiting assembly of rifles using more than a specific number of non-US-made parts.
    2
  12785. When I was in the AK kit market, it was nothing. :) I still kick myself for walking past a Bosnian fleur-de-lis mag in a $5 bin once...
    2
  12786. No; that would have been a great option.
    2
  12787. I built this years before he had a channel or a web site.
    2

  12791. This is the flag from when the Tabuk was adopted.
    2
  12792. I already have one on it: https://youtu.be/FSH7ImdrOEw
    2
  12793. Silencer is what Maxim called it when he invented it. I think it is an acceptable term to use, alongside suppressor and moderator.
    2
  12794. And Colt 1903s; the OSS bought a lot of those.
    2
  12795. Yes
    2
  12796. https://youtu.be/D_o47KAlgp4?si=DL74DiVSwmfpR6g-
    2
  12797. It was the short-lived squad support version of the M14.
    2
  12798. Colt made plenty of select-fire AR15s. Before the design was adopted by the US Army and designated M16, automatic AR15s were sold to the US Air Force and Malaya, among other clients. They also sold fully automatic AR15s on the US civilian market, although the $200 transfer tax made them very poor sellers.
    2
  12799. Heh - whoops. :) What I was going for was "bolt closure device", which is how it's referenced in the period reports.
    2
  12800. The original AR-15 was made with a full auto setting and marketed to military forces. Malaysia bought them, as did some other people.
    2
  12801. It was sold commercially as the .223 Remington before it was adopted by NATO.
    2
  12802. See all those books behind me? There's a reason I have those... :)
    2
  12803. This was filmed in the artifact vault at the National WWII Museum, which houses all sorts of objects. I don't know the significance of that dress, but it has some connection to the war.
    2
  12804. Unfortunately, the museum didn't have a clip of 6.5mm dummy cartridges that I could use to demonstrate the feed system with.
    2
  12805. I would love to - just need to get my hands on one I can disassemble and/or shoot.
    2
  12806. Thanks!
    2
  12807. I appreciate it, but I'm very happy with the setup I have already.
    2
  12808. I will be thrilled to cover the HMG Sturmgewehr once I have one. Until then, I'm in the same boat as everyone else.
    2
  12809. I don't have plans for a major video on it, because I already did a good pair of them on a different 1918 RSC. But I'm sure it will make an appearance at some point.
    2
  12810. Nope, this is the phrasing the French used. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_shall_not_pass
    2
  12811. There is a sizing chart on the shop site...

    2
  12823. It was cold, and the hat is warm. My politics are not defined by my headgear.
    2
  12824. Considering the sound guy is me...
    2
  12825. Brownells does; it's the BRN-601.
    2
  12826. Yes. Consider that the AR-1 was a bolt action rifle, and the AR-12 was a shotgun.
    2
  12827. For commandos to shoot sentries with.
    2
  12828. No, that concept goes all the way back to the first self-contained cartridges. The Volcanic carbines were PCCs, for instance.
    2
  12829. The originals used modified magazines.
    2
  12830. Yes.

    2
  12832. Yes

  12833. Yep, definitely did :)
    2
  12834. No. Tokarev ammo is significantly higher pressure than Borchardt ammo.

    2
  12837. Congrats! :)
    2
  12838. In a massive generalization, I think the Finns do a great job improving other peoples' guns, and a so-so job of designing their own. The Valmet and Finnish Mosins are great. The Suomi is too, but the KP44, L35, and LS-26 are "meh".
    2
  12839. 92S, actually.
    2
  12840. Very difficult.
    2
  12841. I think it's more about the guns than the drums, and the repeatability of the fit into the magazine well.
    2
  12842. I have not yet found a Laumann self-loader.

    2
  12846. $96,000.
    2
  12847. Pretty much all guns noble around a remarkable amount when you watch them in high speed footage.
    2
  12848. I asked nicely.
    2
  12849. DI
    2
  12850. Without specifically researching it, I would expect that answer is that the standard AP loading is not accurate enough for this purpose.
    2
  12851. Correct, it is semiauto only.
    2
  12852. To get the better camera angle.
    2
  12853. The AUG was adopted by Austria as the Sturmgewehr 77.
    2
  12854. The AUG replaced the FAL as the Austrian infantry rifle.
    2
  12855. From the description: Sorry about the sound quality! I did my best to clean it up, but the air conditioning system in the museum had a more significant impact on the video that I had anticipated.

    2
  12857. @abboberg Recoil force from the cartridge firing. The force will take the path of least resistance, and since the breechblock is fixed and the pistol is held firmly that means pushing the barrel forward.
    2
  12858. @abboberg That example is probably the nicest original one in existence, so I'm sure you can understand the owner's reluctance to shoot it.
    2
  12859. No, unfortunately. It's not ours, and the owner doesn't want to shoot it.
    2
  12860. Yep, it definitely would.

    2
  12864. +Lachlan McIntosh It would function fine upside down.
    2
  12865. +John Corder No, the shells are too long to physically fit.
    2
  12866. +Asfaloths Der Tittenwart Yup, it's an old Swiss medical chest.
    2
  12867. +stinkiekiller declerck No, they are both French. One M1915, one M1926.
    2
  12868. No, I don't believe the FN49 was sold commercially.

  12869. Yes, .30-06
    2
  12870. Yes, .30-06
    2
  12871. It was a group range session. I can't always get a place to myself.
    2
  12872. Totally standard for black powder rifles. The Mauser 1871 and Chassepot/Gras were the same, as with the Berdan.
    2
  12873. +fastmongrel They made a version in 9x19, yes.
    2
  12874. In its existing form (ie, still buggy), no. If perfected, it would offer a combination of features that I think would appeal to a lot of people. There is no objective definition of the "best" combat rifle, since different users have different requirements. The HAC-7 is a package that could certainly be the best option for some people.
    2
  12875. Good catch - it's Holloway, and I've fixed it now.
    2
  12876. Actually, it's much closer to the AK than the FAL. Rotating bolt, AK-style FCG, long stroke gas piston, etc.
    2
  12877. No, but I am aware of it.
    2
  12878. Correct.
    2
  12879. I definitely would rather take the Ruby.
    2
  12880. I have a Frommer Stop match filmed; will publish in a month or so. I also already have published a video of a 1907 Roth-Steyr in a more substantial match: https://youtu.be/-xvCNEUnT4Y
    2
  12881. Yes, it's linked at the end of this video.
    2
  12882. Wood rounds were used by lots of countries as training ammunition before the war. What he found was probably training ammo picked up by someone out of ignorance or desperation.
    2
  12883. @wigra96 Heh - If I could get my hands on one, I would be thrilled to do a review of it. :)
    2
  12884. We don't have access to one at the moment, but if we find one we certainly will.

    2
  12889. Gregory Kitchens You should post a video of it being more efficient, or at least state what your actual split time are when shooting that way.
    2
  12890. Yes indeed - can you send some photos to admin@forgottenweapons.com?
    2
  12891. Sorry, I don't.
    2
  12892. No.
    2
  12893. Here are the two Turner carbines that went to testing: https://www.forgottenweapons.com/light-rifle-program/turner-carbine/
    2
  12894. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXdF3t-r0IM
    2
  12895. I have not fired one, but yes, I would like to. Can you send me an email at admin@forgottenweapons.com?
    2
  12896. Because having a gas seal requires the cartridge case to span the gap between barrel and cylinder. Doing that would negate the multi-cartridge capability.
    2
  12897. Yes.
    2
  12898. Thanks - just fixed that.
    2
  12899. Because the barrel is not square to the receiver, because of the side-tilting bolt.
    2
  12900. Yes, you lie at a 30 degree angle out from the gun or so, which lets you bring your cheek far enough forward on the receiver to not get banged up by the end plug under recoil. The hardest part is getting a good sight picture - for some reason that is tricky for me on lots of French machine guns.
    2
  12901. I accidentally reversed the energy numbers for the two cartridges.
    2
  12902. While I do not dispute Francophilia, I would argue that 120 rounds in 10 minutes is remarkably successful for any WW1 machine gun out of the box today. Ask Othais over at C&Rsenal what he has to go through to get machine guns of this vintage actually working...
    2
  12903. It was also about 8 in the morning. :)
    2
  12904. The BAR was absolutely a much better design - but it wasn't in combat use until late 1918, and the CSRG was hitting the front in early 1916.
    2
  12905. Originally they used brass cased ammo. But long recoil actions extract under basically zero pressure, so the steel case should be (as apparently is) a non-issue. In addition, the Wolf loading is a 145gr bullet at allegedly a slightly reduced powder charge, so I figured it would be a little easier on me and on the gun.
    2
  12906. Yes, this is mine.
    2
  12907. The ft-lb numbers are reversed. Sorry.
    2
  12908. Those were on the 8mm version, not the .30-06.
    2
  12909. It was a love/hate thing. With troops who understood the need to keep it clean and protected, the firepower was appreciated and was used to very good effect (3 US soldiers receiver the Medal of Honor for combat actions using 8mm Chauchats). The Belgian 7.65mm ones were all post-WW1, and I have no idea what they thought of them, aside from being basically free.
    2
  12910. Yes, I was using Wolf steel-cased .30-06.
    2
  12911. In 8mm, yes. This is in .30-06 and uses different magazines.
    2
  12912. Yep.
    2
  12913. We cover all that in the full version, on the HOWW app.
    2
  12914. https://youtu.be/4rxrgredLgM
    2
  12915. Yes, it is.
    2
  12916. There is no mechanical anti-bounce provision in the AMT. I believe the mass of the bolt head and body are enough to mitigate it. Might be something in the trigger mechanism to prevent firing is the bolt isn't fully foreward, but I haven't looked closely recently.
    2
  12917. MadraktheRed They are pretty much interchangeable, although cartridge is typically used for rifle or pistol ammunition and shell for shotguns and larger weapons like cannon.
    2
  12918. Yes.
    2
  12919. He was - I was thinking about pistol slides and made a mistake. Sorry!
    2
  12920. As a locked breech system, it can use much higher pressure cartridges without a lot of added weight.
    2
  12921. Winchester bought the company and shut it down.
    2
  12922. I tried; they were not interested in having new channels join.
    2
  12923. 9x19
    2
  12924. There was a 90 degree curved version for vehicles (it was mounted in a special firing port) and a 30 degree infantry version.
    2
  12925. Water absorbs thermal energy and slows the temperature increase of the barrel. That's it. There is no circulating system or other mechanical stuff.
    2
  12926. Yes, that was the model C, made for armored vehicles. Only a very small number were used.
    2
  12927. IT DOESN'T; IT STAYS IN THE JACKET AND BOILS INTO STEAM.
    2
  12928. It isn't. When the can is full, you open the water jacket plug and pour it back in the top.
    2
  12929. It was generally not used in close combat. Yes, can fire through windows. Yes, can be used by one man. About 30 seconds to set up, with a properly drilled crew.
    2
  12930. Most nasty tea ever.
    2
  12931. It is not.
    2
  12932. That's a flash hider.
    2
  12933. It's a prop from the SciFi TV show. :)
    2
  12934. It was too late for US trials.

    2
  12949. +May “A-T” Sparkle James Paris Lee invented the detachable box magazine in 1879.
    2
  12950. Three part answer. First, this was actually built before 922(r) was enacted. Second, the Hotchkiss Universal as built has 10 foreign parts as long as it doesn't have a magazine fitted, so it would be in compliance anyway (many of the parts on the list are simply not in this design because it's a simple blowback action - parts like gas pistons and operating rods). Third, pistols and registered SBRs are not subject to 922(r); it only applies to rifles.
    2
  12951. The same reasons I don't make a new engine when my car needs an oil change. :)
    2
  12952. Hence I replaced the extractor...
    2
  12953. 8mm.
    2
  12954. Could be bent feed lips, could be weak springs.
    2
  12955. It's a reproduction of an original pattern, made by a company now out of business (I don't remember their name).
    2
  12956. Correct.
    2
  12957. I will be running it in an American uniform, paired with a 1911, as this was the standard US automatic rifle in WW1.
    2
  12958. YouTube sometimes just turns them off for no reason, and without notifying me. Which one is disabled? I'll turn them back on...
    2
  12959. Reasonable - what do you have?
    2
  12960. +John Ratko I have no idea - I haven't asked, not have I ever consigned a gun to an auction house (I don't tend to sell much...)
    2
  12961. If you reshoot, the second score is the official one.
    2
  12962. It is, but I filmed this before that decision was made and I think it's still worth posting. I'm still going to Finland to do some collaborative stuff with Varusteleka anyway.
    2
  12963. There is a division for people wearing armor.
    2
  12964. Phoenix Rod & Gun Club
    2
  12965. Like all civilized countries, Finland has a process for legally importing and exporting firearms.
    2
  12966. It is excellent. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-tst-woolshell-jacket/59958

    2
  12968. I did a little bit of consulting with EA for Battlefield 1...
    2
  12969. Thanks!
    2
  12970. Oops! Yeah, that's just a typo on the stretch goal image, and we'll fix it...
    2
  12971. This was live.
    2
  12972. Steven 197106 It's on my list to do, once I can find one of the guns.
    2
  12973. Rob Burton I look forward to when that book is published!
    2
  12974. EDSKaR If you place an order on the author's web page (https://www.createspace.com/5070216), you can select a UK address and get the shipping rate.
    2
  12975. PCC
    2
  12976. The strap is to hold on the holster and the cap covers the end of the stock when it's not in use.
    2
  12977. Not in 105 degree Arizona heat, no. :)
    2
  12978. Wouldn't be USPSA without 'em!
    2
  12979. Each target needed two hits, and each hit is either an "A", "C", or "D" (this competition doesn't use the "B" zone). So they are calling out scores.
    2
  12980. Yes, regular ammo - 115gr or 124gr.
    2
  12981. Furred I ought to have something German... :)
    2
  12982. Scoring - center hits are "A", okay hits are "C" and poor hits are "D".
    2
  12983. +Andrew Duff Was, certainly. FYI, the day before the auction they have a viewing day, where all the guns in the auction are available for anyone to handle and inspect.
    2
  12984. I suggest @brent0331 for that.
    2
  12985. The Danish flag has an offset white cross. This is the flag of the Order of Saint John (of Malta).
    2
  12986. Yup, it's coming.
    2
  12987. This was imported before 89.
    2
  12988. There are absolutely fake Walkers out there.
    2
  12989. I am a better shooter today than I was 5 years ago when this video was filmed.
    2
  12990. Because I am left-handed.
    2
  12991. Both. They started making steel case late in the war.
    2
  12992. +Alpha Adhito The MG34 was better suited to changing barrels in vehicular mounts.
    2
  12993. +Anonymous surfer 250
    2
  12994. GoredonTheDestroyer Yup.  The semiauto MG42s are also often available in .308, though. Germany continued to use the gun after WWII chambered in .308 and designated the MG-3, and those parts are easy to swap onto an MG42 receiver.
    2
  12995. No, the 34 barrel change is a much different procedure. It's best done on a tripod - you unlatch the barrel shroud from the receiver and pivot the receiver over 180 degrees. That allows you to pull the barrel backwards out of the shroud and replace it. Definitely not as slick as the system on the 42.
    2
  12996. In continuous fire, doctrine was to change barrels every 250 rounds (when you changed belts of ammo). This allowed the barrels to be rotated and all stay reasonably cool.
    2
  12997. Look, people who say these are inaccurate guns that just spray bullets all over the place are repeating propaganda and myths that have no basis in reality. I wish people would stop repeating this sort of hearsay.
    2
  12998. 080Cobra There's all sorts of stuff in the background. :) Brownings, M60s, Maxims...you name it.
    2
  12999. It's not an i, it's a lower-case L.
    2
  13000. There were aircraft versions of both the heavy MG08 and the light MG08/15.
    2
  13001. It is; this is the air-cooled aircraft version.
    2
  13002. Only because we are using an MG34 belt here instead of the proper Maxim belt.
    2
  13003. Very.
    2
  13004. +Jack Edelman He was, because we were using an MG34 belt instead of the proper Maxim belt.
    2
  13005. The collar is the point of contact where the barrel reciprocates back and forth in the trunnion as it recoil and resets. Using brass for the collar ensures that wear from that rubbing will not deform the inside diameter of the trunnion. The barrel will be shot out and need replacing before that wear has a significant effect on the collar, so it doesn't cause any adverse practical effect there.
    2
  13006. You do need to be a bit judicious with it, and treat it like any other air-cooled gun.
    2
  13007. It just wasn't intended for a high rate of fire, and forcing it to run fast doesn't give the moving parts enough time to decelerate properly. Instead, they slam into stops in the receiver and damage them.
    2
  13008. No, I have not.
    2
  13009. In this case, the "L" actually stands for luftgekühlt - air-cooled.
    2
  13010. PneubTube No, manually operated.
    2
  13011. No, it won't.
    2
  13012. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9e3UCcU00TRIeypXC53S8r81DZRvoXmu
    2
  13013. Yes, a Gevarm A6.
    2
  13014. MAS-38
    2
  13015. A few, yes. They are generally not directly user choice, but rather designed to fire form an open bolt in fully automatic and a closed bolt in semiautomatic. This allows the better accuracy in semi and the heat protection in full, when the gun is likely to get much hotter.
    2
  13016. Well, the Chauchat did get used in WW1...
    2
  13017. The SIG 542 was, and I believe someone made FALs in .243 as well.
    2
  13018. Yes.
    2
  13019. No, none.
    2
  13020. Sorry! I tried to set this one to a much more reasonable number.
    2
  13021. Nope, have not tried them yet.
    2
  13022. The upper is an SBR; the can is a separate stamp.
    2
  13023. That's an East German made takedown lever; they are slightly different from the other makers. You can see pictures of them in "The Parabellum is Back!" by Baudino and van Vlimmeren.
    2
  13024. No, because the firing pin is a fixed part of the bolt face. It's fine.
    2
  13025. There is no such thing as a MAS-38 in 9mm.
    2
  13026. No.
    2
  13027. I see you have not fired open bolt guns.
    2
  13028. No, I am not interested in rechambering it.
    2
  13029. Nobody is importing VHS-1s
    2
  13030. I;m not a lawyer, but changing caliber of a pistol does not require any legal process. Just like you could swap a 9mm barrel into a Tokarev, would can change a .223 pistol to 9mm.
    2
  13031. The receiver was turned into a short barreled rifle when it was registered.
    2
  13032. I would enjoy the opportunity if it arises - I don't have a full auto AR myself.
    2
  13033. Yes, exactly.
    2
  13034. 30
    2
  13035. So the gunner can adjust and recheck aim without having to move from the optic.
    2
  13036. My post office box.
    2
  13037. Heinrich Krieghoff.
    2
  13038. Tokyo First Army Arsenal.
    2
  13039. You saw nothing!
    2
  13040. They will be when they are ready in a few months.
    2
  13041. There are several pictured in the book.
    2
  13042. Sounds completely appropriate for a sword adopted by Japan in 1935, then.
    2
  13043. ;) https://youtu.be/cTRKcT68uJI?t=445
    2
  13044. You and me both!
    2
  13045. Unfortunately no.
    2
  13046. Yup: https://youtu.be/nm8796bDd8k
    2
  13047. Not yet, but I will.
    2
  13048. No, the semi auto rifle that won Italian trials was the 1939 Armaguerra.
    2
  13049. He is correct, but the video was uploaded and approved before the rule change.
    2
  13050. It resets.
    2
  13051. No, that's this gun (without a magazine): https://youtu.be/Y9qHv_XEAZg
    2
  13052. Very heavy. And the trigger is made for two fingers; you can't really use just one.
    2
  13053. Yes, it does.
    2
  13054. Yes
    2
  13055. Jean Huon's "Proud Promise" is another excellent Collector Grade book on French rifles - definitely worth owning a copy of. It covers French semiauto rifle development from 1898-1979.
    2
  13056. Get yourself a copy of the book, and you can learn all about the gun. :)
    2
  13057. Alas, no.
    2
  13058. It's a lot faster to reload than the revolver in Norwegian service at the time it was invented.
    2
  13059. Yes, all the original patents expired over a century ago.
    2
  13060. Yes, all of those things.
    2
  13061. Well, he was certainly successful at it...
    2
  13062. No...
    2
  13063. About 6 years ago.
    2
  13064. https://youtu.be/EaSui_UqDX8
    2
  13065. No, they do not.
    2
  13066. That's a CP-10 pack from Varusteleka
    2
  13067. It's a CP-10 form Varusteleka
    2
  13068. It was very shallow - even directly over the heart would not have been a problem.
    2
  13069. Awesome, thanks!
    2
  13070. The conversion was the 1874 Gras, which I will cover on Monday.
    2
  13071. Yup, the 44, 49, and 49-56 are coming later this month.
    2
  13072. No, but original are not hard to find.
    2
  13073. Some made a copyright claim on a still image I put in, and YouTube pulled the video. I have a revised version without still images that will be posting tonight.
    2
  13074. Because labor was cheap and materials were expensive back then, compared to today.
    2
  13075. Cannon is defined as 20mm and up.
    2
  13076. Yes, although not the same cartridge.
    2
  13077. Because we were shooting training rounds, not AP.
    2
  13078. Vertically traveling locking block.
    2
  13079. SIG has a line of optics that are 100% American made as required for their military contracts, so you have an option to go with. I think Leupold has some American-made options as well.
    2
  13080. YouTube's new rules do not allow it.
    2
  13081. Last March. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_av1zBdnxXY
    2
  13082. Ruger MkI
    2
  13083. If I am limited to iron sights only, it would be a very difficult choice.
    2
  13084. No1 MkV.
    2
  13085. No, you could not.
    2
  13086. It's the most descriptive thing to call the gun.
    2
  13087. That was the purpose; glad you enjoyed them!
    2
  13088. Nope, only the Japanese did.
    2
  13089. Ironically, the use of slavery in the cotton industry in the American south was only made feasible by mechanization. Only after Whitney's invention of a mechanical tool to de-seed cotton did it make financial sense to process enough cotton that slavery made sense to grow and harvest it.
    2
  13090. It was used in tiny numbers and had no discernible effect on the war.
    2
  13091. FG-42 production was too small to have any significant impact on the war.
    2
  13092. How much do you want to wager? :)
    2
  13093. Interestingly, the one comment I have never, ever seen is "those welds look functional and sufficient". Everyone always seems to expect aerospace grade polish on everything...
    2
  13094. German tradition on artillery is to use centimeters. No specific reason I know of, just habit.
    2
  13095. It was used for signal and illumination flares as well as explosive shells.
    2
  13096. Nope. Auction series schedules can interfere with that. The September one posts on the 13th, and October on the 4th.
    2
  13097. Not beyond basic layout.
    2
  13098. Nope, just guns.
    2
  13099. It would depend on the state.
    2
  13100. I got them a year or two ago
    2
  13101. Danny Dingo "We considered fair, and decided against it"
    2
  13102. Yes, you can add it on.
    2
  13103. Correct.
    2
  13104. The Ross, yes - I am not aware of one done on the K31.
    2
  13105. Probably the Howell.
    2
  13106. Probably made by a private individual and submitted to the military for consideration.
    2
  13107. I would love to, but I have yet to see one in person.
    2
  13108. YouTube doesn’t allow me to post links to gun sellers.
    2
  13109. No.
    2
  13110. Complete rifles from Brownells, anything else from KE.
    2
  13111. GWACS doesn't make anything, they just want to destroy KE Arms.
    2
  13112. This is true.
    2
  13113. Bavarian Civil Defense - one of the Freikorps type organizations. It existed (legally) only in 1920 and 1921.
    2
  13114. Correct. If you have a C&R license, a C&R machine gun can ship directly to you from out of state once the NFA transfer clears.
    2
  13115. Its a SIG Romeo4S
    2
  13116. Anthony Browning Because bureaucracy.
    2
  13117. David Vidmar When I can find one, I will.
    2
  13118. NoSkillzJustGillz Thanks!
    2
  13119. Original calibers. The less-original more commercial-friendly version would be HMG's project, now taken over by PSA.
    2
  13120. Late in the war a bunch of StGs were issued with a mix of blued and parkerized parts, and the example I shot was copying that period.
    2
  13121. Dealers, gunsmiths, and his own collection - basically like post-sample MGs here in the US.
    2
  13122. No, totally unrelated project and company. Dittrich has been making these since before Hill & Mac started their project.
    2
  13123. No idea - I was a lot more interested in the rifles and didn't bring up the GB.
    2
  13124. Yes, he also makes a reproduction of the Steyr GB.
    2
  13125. Potato potahto.
    2
  13126. https://youtu.be/A0cvxrAkbbE
    2
  13127. Gunsmiths, dealers, and Dittrich's own collection. Basically the same as post-sample machine guns here in the US.
    2
  13128. These are all in their original calibers.
    2
  13129. No.
    2
  13130. This was filmed in South Africa.
    2
  13131. My WWSD carbine.
    2
  13132. Nope, that's in my office/den...and the walls do slope. :)
    2
  13133. Yes, and it's in the works.
    2
  13134. BigSmartArmed This is a commonly repeated myth. Yes, the AR piston is inside the bolt carrier. No, that does not make it intrinsically unreliable.
    2
  13135. You mean if everything were different? Yes.
    2
  13136. Without support
    2
  13137. You are correct - but naked is the only way one uses the sauna, including the Finnish military deployed saunas.
    2
  13138. Yep!
    2
  13139. It's my 2017 upper on a 2020 lower.
    2
  13140. No.
    2
  13141. That would be better than some other exhibitors...
    2
  13142. No need for a replace; there are plenty of originals around.
    2
  13143. It's a machine gun, so the rifling is irrelevant.
    2
  13144. It does make me a little sad.
    2
  13145. That video is filmed, but not scheduled yet.
    2
  13146. You're welcome!
    2
  13147. Thanks!
    2
  13148. There are Shriekers in the gun vault.
    2
  13149. No.
    2
  13150. It's a Dutch place name, not a Swedish one. The base rifle is Dutch and the conversion done by a Swedish firm.
    2
  13151. It is a fixed nub on the hammer - the gun uses rimfire cartridges.
    2
  13152. Yeah, I accidentally uploaded it prematurely a month or two back.
    2
  13153. I filmed this at Rock Island, when they had two coming up for sale.
    2
  13154. It potentially would be a hazard, but the port is too far forward for you to do that without it being a really awkward stretch.
    2
  13155. Nope; incident with a vegetable slicer.
    2
  13156. Except that I think every shop like that already has a couple H&R/NEF break-action shotguns lying around.
    2
  13157. You should start your own channel that is perfect, then.
    2
  13158. No, it was a 1902 pattern prototype semiauto.
    2
  13159. Two different names for the same thing.

    2
  13163. Yes, this one: https://amzn.to/2Ik7Ku0
    2
  13164. To catch the hammer if you are cocking it and you slip and release it.
    2
  13165. Nah, it's definitely better now. You just aren't remembering the less-than-great parts from 10 year ago.
    2
  13166. No.
    2
  13167. Absolutely still usable, as long as the new owners are willing to shoot them.
    2
  13168. No, a British .380 revolver cartridge.
    2
  13169. Yes! Thank you!
    2
  13170. Aquatictoaster Think of it like putting a Masterkey shotgun under an AR - the shotgun has to be registered, but it doesn't change the stats of the rifle.
    2
  13171. Just one.
    2
  13172. Nope, just one.
    2
  13173. I don't know - there is very little information on the development of these.
    2
  13174. https://youtu.be/K2nhwH1I8PU
    2
  13175. Not that I am aware of.
    2
  13176. Having shot both, I disagree. The Gerat 06H is lighter than the StG44 and much simpler to manufacture.
    2
  13177. herauthon four There is no mechanical relationship between the FAL and G3.

  13181. www.headstamppublishing.com - we will have Chassepot to FAMAS reprinted and available in a few months.
    2
  13182. Yes.
    2
  13183. They do not.
    2
  13184. Your Group Industries was paid for by the government, and then resold. The OOW guns today are completely new manufacture, so the buyer is paying for everything.
    2
  13185. Yes, brand new.
    2
  13186. Oh - the protective hood over the front sight can be removed, and that's what some guys did - not the sight itself.
    2
  13187. It's all new production parts, made in small volume.

  13198. A fluted chamber might have been a viable solution - I don't know for sure.
    2
  13199. Yep, I have a video on that one - it will be publishing next Monday.
    2
  13200. Don't worry, I'll have the chance to shoot one of these sooner or later.
    2
  13201. That would take a doozy of a kickstarter. :)
    2
  13202. It uses cartridges with a thin coat of hard wax specifically to avoid needing oiled cartridges.
    2
  13203. I did, thanks!
    2
  13204. Tomorrow...
    2
  13205. Since I had been facing the side of the range, I am pointing the gun almost directly downrange still.
    2
  13206. It's a very technical term, I assure you.
    2
  13207. That is a dummy round built into the magazine follower.
    2
  13208. Yes, the difference is crucial. Also, the 7.62x54 and 7.62x53 are the same round, just with the actual exact length rounded differently for the designations.
    2
  13209. 32 ACP
    2
  13210. Slip of the tongue.
    2
  13211. https://youtu.be/knPDsJyCpjI
    2
  13212. They aren't; they are crossed pennants. Standard British stuff.
    2
  13213. It's in the end-of-video features. Maybe you aren't seeing them? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7sTrL-sKAM
    2
  13214. Yes, although that sort of discharge is easily prevented by basic mechanical safeties.
    2
  13215. NJ repealed the law.
    2
  13216. Yep, I would.
    2
  13217. Yeah, no kidding!
    2
  13218. Nope, it's not shootable.
    2
  13219. Also platinium? :)
    2
  13220. Don't forget magazine.
    2
  13221. I played the entire game. My opinion did not improve.
    2
  13222. Team based is not the same as being like WWI.
    2
  13223. Yes.
    2
  13224. It's a schützen grip.
    2
  13225. Yeah, I played that too.
    2
  13226. Those sight are accurate to nothing in WWI or WWII.
    2
  13227. I play Verdun somewhat regularly.
    2
  13228. Yep, PTRS video is coming in December :)
    2
  13229. The movement really doesn't affect accuracy, because the barrel and sights are fixed together.
    2
  13230. I have bene looking for a Maxim-Tokarev for a long time, actually. I would love to film one!
    2
  13231. The 2.5 inch shells are simply obsolete, so nobody bothers to make them.
    2
  13232. The Sjogren is a far nicer gun to use. I did some shooting with a Sjogren the same day as I filmed this video, and that one will be coming in a little while.
    2
  13233. Yes, actually, that's exactly it.
    2
  13234. Ferris The cuts are there so that you don't have to match the cone up to the threading on the barrel in any specific way. Simpler to make all the cuts on the cone than to deal with a manufacturing process to ensure that one cut lines up correctly on every gun. I am curious what might have gone wrong on your rifle...what ammo were you using?
    2
  13235. +Dave Hetrick Sorry, but those aren't mine. This video was filmed during my visit to Movie gun Services - it's their shop. If you want to see machining, I suggest checking out the GunLab channel.
    2
  13236. I will explain this in excellent detail in my upcoming book on French rifles. :)
    2
  13237. Oops! Yes it's here: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2014/02/12/military-roots-olympic-biathlon/
    2
  13238. No, just an ordinary Czech Mauser.
    2
  13239. No, after the trigger is pulled the disconnector stops the firing pin from going forward to fire a second round. Could you send me photos of your Chropei pistol? I would be very interested in seeing it. My address is admin at forgottenweapons. Thanks!
    2
  13240. I am not aware of a military one, but Allegheny Arsenal did have a loading device designed recently that they were selling a while back. Not sure if they still have them...
    2
  13241. No, it would not be significantly easier to seat the mag with 46 rounds loaded, because the last round in the mag is always be pushed down into the feedway. The solution it to hold the bolt open while seating the mag.
    2
  13242. The teeth in the magazine hold each cartridge far enough apart that the rims can't interact.
    2
  13243. I am strangely unconcerned about making enemies of imaginary and non-existent people.
    2
  13244. The DT mags hold more, but are not interchangeable with standard mags - they are actually smaller in diameter and require a front latch in a different position.
    2
  13245. The lower assembly is not a regulated part; the receiver (the main upper part) is.
    2
  13246. https://youtu.be/PQK9JNsrq_8
    2
  13247. That is normal; that's the excess gas venting out of the system.
    2
  13248. The BM59 is better. Not hugely better, but definitely better.
    2
  13249. It's better, but not a whole lot better.
    2
  13250. No, that was not a thing.
    2
  13251. AR10, then FAL, then M14. But FG42 is better than all of them.
    2
  13252. Yep - lots of guns do that, but you only see it in slow motion video.
    2
  13253. There are a couple books in Czech, but no other English ones I am aware of.
    2
  13254. 454 grams
    2
  13255. That wasn't wood, it was the weird fiberglass/bakelite stuff used for the original furniture.
    2
  13256. The originals didn't have wood furniture; why would the reproductions?
    2
  13257. Well, it was when I filmed this.
    2
  13258. https://youtu.be/Ij7b1te6LHo
    2
  13259. Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity this time.
    2
  13260. No, it's not. Casting as a manufacturing method is perfectly viable. Every method has its pros and cons; places where it is ideal and where it is not. The idea that casting is bad is built on about three different layers of misunderstanding and bad information.
    2
  13261. Because I filmed this in January.
    2
  13262. I filmed this in January.
    2
  13263. In theory, yes, but why would you?
    2
  13264. None I am aware of, for liability reasons if nothing else.
    2
  13265. I'd love to, but it's hard to plan that footage. When I manage to capture a good one, it's usually unexpected.
    2
  13266. I didn't - it was a loaned gun.
    2

    2
  13269. But of course!
    2
  13270. Dolf is a national treasure.
    2
  13271. You can find that under Competitions or Humor. :)
    2
  13272. More like the PSL or M76 version.
    2
  13273. It's a lot of 5 rifles; the top one is a Mosin and this Enfield is the 4th one down.
    2
  13274. Comments on YouTube are always a stinking morass.
    2
  13275. The AA12 was American. Made by Max Atchisson.
    2
  13276. The idea is good, but it wouldn't work. Pulling the trigger to turn the drum causes it to unwind, and after you've fired all the rounds, the drum is mostly unwound already. So you could load a couple rounds that way, but then you'd run out of spring tension and you'd have to wind it up to either load more or fire any. So you might as well just wind as you load.
    2
  13277. Yes.
    2
  13278. Yes, clips for it.
    2
  13279. I tried; they weren’t interested
    2
  13280. Nothing...which is both good and bad. It's still there.
    2
  13281. Yes, you can.
    2
  13282. I do a series with the Morphy auction company twice per year; I just had a video form there yesterday in fact.
    2
  13283. We have some reloading content coming...
    2
  13284. 100% chance tomorrow.
    2
  13285. It's filmed; will post in the next couple months.
    2
  13286. Yes.
    2
  13287. No, nothing. They are just in the same city.
    2
  13288. Because YouTube are YouTube.
    2
  13289. +My name is Jeff Only very occasionally at auction houses, but much more frequently with my own guns and guns loaned by individuals.
    2
  13290. +Baked It is viewable on Full30.com right now, and will post to YouTube Saturday morning.
    2
  13291. +Andre Krumins I have read that brass can be made from .223, but I haven't tried it.
    2
  13292. +Primarch359 Only collector's ammo is available, but my cartridge conversion book says you can make it from .223.
    2
  13293. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp4j9Y9L6jie44iZroCb99A
    2
  13294. Ultrasonic bath. Not that 5.56 cans really need cleaning.
    2
  13295. Sure, ultrasonic cleaner. That said, 5.56mm suppressors really don't need to be cleaned.
    2
  13296. Ultrasonic bath. Not that 5.56 cans really need cleaning.
    2
  13297. You can clean it with an ultrasonic bath. Not that 5.56 cans really need cleaning.
    2
  13298. Ultrasonic bath. Not that 5.56 cans really need cleaning.
    2
  13299. Ultrasonic bath. Not that 5.56 cans really need cleaning.
    2
  13300. You really don't need to, but an ultrasonic cleaner would handle it just fine.
    2
  13301. I reserve 4K for the History of Weapons & War subscription service.
    2
  13302. In theory it makes a pistol into an AOW, but that is a really complex subject.
    2
  13303. Still waiting for it.
    2
  13304. I have no control over the ads at all. Sorry.
    2
  13305. Thanks!
    2
  13306. MKb42(H)s.
    2
  13307. Only if I suffer a sharp blow to the head in the next several months...
    2
  13308. Sorry, but it's something my mother made for me.

    2
  13310. No, you can't.

  13312. Thanks!
    2
  13313. http://candrsenal.com/shop/
    2
  13314. You mean the one I discuss towards the end of the video? :)
    2
  13315. My full time job is running Forgotten Weapons (the web site, not just the YouTube channel).
    2
  13316. I had a number different jobs, most significantly working in the solar power industry.
    2
  13317. PTR specifically discusses using ultrasonic cleaners, so I presume they are not a problem.
    2
  13318. All blowback PCCs/SMGs are actually surprising loud just from action noise.
    2
  13319. https://youtu.be/eIOP8n0hzlg
    2
  13320. The charging handle on top got really hot because it was in contact with the gas tube.
    2
  13321. CavArms/GWACS. It's a polymer lower actually engineered from the ground up for polymer. https://www.full30.com/video/41324b93161c3953ea131b0d23ebecd0
    2
  13322. Yes.
    2
  13323. If you were doing training or combat later than 1958, you would not have gotten a rifle with this issue...
    2
  13324. While I was demonstrating with an ambi safety, the issue is valid with standard ones. Try it yourself...
    2
  13325. Yep. Thanks!
    2
  13326. You change magazines - there is no bolt hold-open device.
    2
  13327. Probably fewer. We happen to know the previous owner shot it as well, though.
    2
  13328. Really not as bad as you would expect...
    2
  13329. Yes, there are a couple around.
    2
  13330. I hope so!
    2
  13331. I think I prefer a red dot coupled with a QD magnifier.
    2
  13332. I did, actually.
    2
  13333. A TA44 ACOG (1.5x)
    2
  13334. Anything you like.
    2
  13335. It's a 1.5x ACOG; I expect Karl will have some video about it on InRange in the coming weeks.
    2
  13336. Do it! :)
    2
  13337. Yup, anything you like.
    2
  13338. I did a full run with and Mosin and another with the WWSD
    2
  13339. We shoveled out the shooting area, but the snow was about 18 inches deep so you were essentially shooting from a shallow trench. Had to get the muzzle up above the snow.
    2
  13340. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2014/02/12/military-roots-olympic-biathlon/
    2
  13341. It's Karl's - high quality optic, but I think I prefer the red dot/magnifier combo myself.

  13343. What Would Stoner Do. https://youtu.be/vI5NPiicXjE
    2
  13344. The book talks about Dammon, but doesn't say if that's actually him in the ad photo.
    2
  13345. Only if you are CarnikCon
    2
  13346. Yes, a number of guns have been made like that. The FG-42 is one example.
    2
  13347. An Edgertronic.
    2
  13348. Once we have them again, yes.
    2
  13349. It's riveted in place.
    2
  13350. While I would obviously like to shoot everything, understanding how they work is far more valuable than seeing them shoot if you have to pick one or the other. There are as many shooting videos here as ever, but it looks like fewer to you because I'm posting a lot more video overall. If you want more shooting, I would suggest watching my InRange TV project on Full30.com, which almost always includes shooting.
    2
  13351. C&Rsenal.

    2
  13353. You don't have to pay to watch videos on Utreon.
    2
  13354. Good things absolutely need advertising.
    2
  13355. Yes. Patreon also takes that 2.9%+$0.30 on top of their percentage.
    2
  13356. Yes, absolutely. Utreon would also allow me to say that I am at a gun auction company, tell you where you could find their catalog, and link to the web page in my description text (or int he video itself).
    2
  13357. Utreon.
    2
  13358. Yes.
    2
  13359. Some places you could. Never had it come up myself, so I haven't asked around.
    2
  13360. I have this .30-06 M1918 and also a French M1915 in 8mm Lebel.
    2
  13361. No, shooting off the concrete bench here wasn't really comparable. I will absolutely do some comparison work once both guns clear transfer.
    2
  13362. Hopefully nothing beyond some new magazines.
    2
  13363. Yes, it was.
    2
  13364. None. But I should be able to convert Johnson LMG mags.
    2
  13365. No, this was new production ammo.
    2
  13366. I don't think that is true.
    2
  13367. A heavy slide and/or spring make them work, but weight is what the Air Force was trying to avoid here.
    2
  13368. +polymath7 One of the gunsmiths helped me do some customization to my own 1911 after hours. Wyatt charged me for it. I was an unpaid intern at the time.
    2
  13369. Christmas.
    2
  13370. Tokarev, as in SVT-38 and SVT-40.
    2
  13371. It is kinda mesmerizing, isn't it?
    2
  13372. Awesome, thanks!
    2
  13373. Thanks! The presale will be running all month.

  13374. https://www.reddit.com/r/ForgottenWeapons/comments/bjixnc/coordinating_international_orders_for_ians_book/
    2
  13375. Total coincidence.
    2
  13376. It will not be on Amazon, but it will be available direct from us at headstamppublishing.com after the printing is completed.
    2
  13377. Well, it is possible I was remembering it wrong...
    2
  13378. Oops...sorry.
    2
  13379. Because NFA tax money does not go to ATF; it goes into the Federal government's general fund.
    2
  13380. No, just moment.
    2
  13381. If the bolt body is light and the spring is strong, it will accelerate the whole assembly rearward without the spring compressing significantly.
    2
  13382. Thanks!
    2
  13383. "It shits where it eats" is an excellent litmus test for a person's level of firearms knowledge. If they don't know what you are talking about, they are a novice. If they agree with the statement, they are clearly interested enough to read lots of gun stuff online. If they say the statement is wrong on several different levels, then you know they actually understand how AR-15s work.
    2
  13384. On InRange TV we discuss the intersection of firearms and computers from time to time. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeUNM9NqJqZXfRNeuW4_2sg
    2
  13385. I do indeed remember. Congrats!
    2
  13386. ;)
    2
  13387. There was some experimentation with longer box mags, but nothing went into production. Longer than 20 rounds become a problem shooting prone.
    2
  13388. It's a play on words.
    2
  13389. They really are pretty awesome folks.
    2
  13390. Yes, it is.
    2
  13391. Yes - if we sell enough copies to cover our production costs, we will split the excess.
    2
  13392. So is everything. But you don't give something like this to a trained person, because they don't need it.
    2
  13393. Blyat!
    2
  13394. I do, when people make purchases through my links.
    2
  13395. Yes.
    2
  13396. No, it's not. This is a DA pull every time. They may have changed that on later models, but not on this one.
    2
  13397. They looked at DARE and said Not Our Pistol Either.
    2
  13398. What vehicles?
    2
  13399. Russia purchased a number of Lewis guns in 7.62x54R...
    2
  13400. I've shot them both ways, and it makes no discernible difference.
    2
  13401. Nobody is actually on Rumble. They are all here on YouTube, talking about Rumble.
    2
  13402. Yes.
    2
  13403. This video is the reason the gun is BF1.
    2
  13404. Sure, in theory.
    2
  13405. The velocity is halfway decent, but remember that the projectile is only 3 grains... I didn't check to see if the barrel was rifled - sorry.
    2
  13406. It's a working office, not a studio. :)
    2
  13407. It's an original Armalite 2.75x scope and mount.
    2
  13408. No, the EM2 was a dead project long before 5.56mm existed.
    2
  13409. Good thing you didn't see that the safety wasn't engaged!
    2
  13410. Tempting, but no.
    2
  13411. +Lubos Soltes Yes, there is actually.
    2
  13412. +Pitt Brad Yeah, I misspoke.
    2
  13413. No, it was not.
    2
  13414. No.
    2
  13415. Yes, the Sjogren shotguns.
    2
  13416. They were live projectiles - solid rounds though, not HE.
    2
  13417. It is a registered Destructive Device.
    2
  13418. It's in direct contact with a massive and relatively cold steel breechblock. Same difference you see between a case ejected form a semiauto rifle and one left in a bolt action for a few seconds.
    2
  13419. IIRC, about 5 pounds.
    2
  13420. Nope.
    2
  13421. I have no input or control over the content of the ads.
    2
  13422. Gun shows or GunBroker (assuming you're in the US).
    2
  13423. It's an Edgertronic.
    2
  13424. No, not ear-safe with supersonic ammo.
    2
  13425. In the works.
    2
  13426. You do indeed...
    2
  13427. Only the clenched fist of adblockers can save you.
    2
  13428. Alexey Ovsienko I think is was because Scotti already had the system designed for other applications (aircraft cannon) and it was simpler to just scale it down than to change anything fundamental.
    2
  13429. Abdullah Saleh StG-45, of the ones I've fired.
    2
  13430. Kebab Removal Technician Yes.
    2
  13431. Wilhelm Studensteck No, the clip just falls out the bottom by gravity.
    2
  13432. We will get to that in the next video, on the MkII :)
    2
  13433. Yes, that is the only .455 that existed in 1896.
    2
  13434. Oops! We just fixed that.
    2
  13435. Yes, we will get one posted on the web site.
    2
  13436. Our inventory accounts for products being sold when they are ordered - so if the in-stock item shows as sold out, yours will still be held in the warehouse until the full order ships.
    2
  13437. If we somehow sell the entire printing before they physically arrive, we will close orders.
    2
  13438. Marstar is licensed to have prohibited items.
    2
  13439. It's not designed as a constant recoil system, but it does have a very long travel, and wasn't hitting the back of the receiver at all in this video. We were using FNM ammo, which is a bit underpowered. With original WWII or Prvi ammo, the buffer would actually contact the rear of the receiver.
    2
  13440. No.
    2
  13441. No, it is not.
    2
  13442. Yes, email me at admin@forgottenweapons.com
    2
  13443. Yes, it absolutely does help.
    2
  13444. Then there is a great opportunity for you to get into the business :)
    2
  13445. Nope, no blueprints exist for the clips. Also, given the number of existing rifles, there is no market to make them.
    2
  13446. Yes, they can. They are transferred to Morphy's before the auction, and Morphy's is the actual seller.
    2
  13447. Chilean OVS contract overrun.
    2
  13448. No, that makes you a wonderful human being. :)
    2
  13449. Spoiler: nothing happens.
    2
  13450. No, we correctly spelled lightening.
    2
  13451. We are considering lots of possibilities for the next one. :)
    2
  13452. Processing a credit card requires an address.
    2
  13453. It's actually a Chilean OVS overrun Mauser.
    2
  13454. It is a hoax.
    2
  13455. It's not true.
    2
  13456. Danner.

    2
  13458. +Nick Galbraith Well, there is the 1900 pattern semiauto in this video...
    2
  13459. +Matt Dickson Don;t worry about the money; I doubt any blueprints for the Mondragon exist anymore. I think that in practical terms, a newly-made Mondragon would have no advantage over an AR-10. As for WWI, I don't think any change in small arms would have made a substantial impact on the war's outcome. That was dictated by larger factors, from artillery and barbed wire to supply logistics.
    2
  13460. Rhodesian law.
    2
  13461. Avtomat Kalashnikova
    2
  13462. Thanks!
    2
  13463. Yes, although not exclusively. :)
    2
  13464. MAS 36 CR39
    2
  13465. Patreon is just fine. I can't rule out anything in the future, but for now there is nothing else that is remotely close to equalling Patreon for this type of creator support.
    2
  13466. Thanks!
    2
  13467. Once I figure out how to remove the broken sling winder and replace it, that rifle will get a video all for itself.
    2
  13468. +antiseen Thanks!
    2
  13469. +SgtStinger There is one in there that hasn't been posted anywhere yet... ;) I will add the others to the video description in a minute.
    2
  13470. +OgamerNL That is a Cosmi shotgun - I haven't posted its video yet because we had some trouble with it on the range.
    2
  13471. +minutemanqvs I don't have one; this is my day job. I worked in the solar power industry until about 2012.
    2
  13472. +Tony Shade Thank you!
    2
  13473. +GunFun ZS Third Saturday of every month, Pima Pistol Club, 8:30am. :)
    2
  13474. +GunFun ZS Thank you!
    2
  13475. A "worm" - basically a corkscrew on the end of a cleaning rod.
    2
  13476. Compressed air through the flash hole.
    2
  13477. Yes. Typically bore is used for rifled barrels and gauge for smooth ones.
    2
  13478. The old way was basically a corkscrew on a cleaning rod; screw it into the ball and pull it out. The modern way is a blast of compressed air into the percussion cap nipple.
    2
  13479. +Russell Karnes Typically with these sorts of guns, I see gauge used for smoothbores and bore used for rifles.
    2
  13480. +no name available Sorry that you found it unpleasant. I believe that this history surrounding this gun, and the ones it is a replica of, is better understood and put in context with the addition of those photos. Death is a part of life.
    2
  13481. Nope, I'm not aware of anyone who has shot one.
    2
  13482. No. It’s martial as in used by the military.
    2
  13483. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oNTKnYMfI8
    2
  13484. I have no idea what you are talking about. ;)
    2
  13485. Yep, the MG 08/15 - standard German "light" MG during the war, and their most widely produced machine gun as well. It was lighter than the MG08, but still weighed something like 38 pounds.
    2
  13486. Cool!
    2
  13487. Before the PKT, the vehicle machine gun was the Goryunov SGT.
    2
  13488. Fixed as in not quick-change; some inter-war SMGs had quick-change barrels.
    2
  13489. Sorry, I recorded this about a month ago and am no long in Europe.
    2
  13490. Awkwardly.
    2
  13491. I suspect that it was because the mainspring was prone to breaking.
    2
  13492. I have been to both. Unfortunately, it is not possible there to take items out from behind glass, so I can't really do good video in the museums. However, I can find almost everything they have in other collections. :)
    2
  13493. I'm working on it...
    2
  13494. Yes, a bunch of them did.
    2
  13495. You can watch ad-free at Utreon.com, or by subscribing to Patreon or Floatplane.
    2
  13496. I totally do...but I don't have a $100,000 for the camera. :)
    2
  13497. That's the difference between a $5000 high speed camera and a $100,000+ high speed camera.
    2
  13498. Yep, there will definitely be an AR-18 video eventually. I have access to both a Costa Mesa and a Sterling, it's just a matter of getting them into the video rotation.
    2
  13499. The WW1 MG15nA is a completely different gun than the inter-war MG15.
    2
  13500. Sure, as soon as the German government lifts the ban on their public display.
    2
  13501. Just simple blowback.
    2
  13502. He is alive and well, and would probably be happy to license it to a manufacturer who wanted to make them.
    2
  13503. Those were introduced in 1842, a couple decades after the Hall. They were the first mass-issued European military breechloader, though.
    2
  13504. Yeah, the needle-fire guns used rubber obturators.
    2
  13505. Both rifled and smoothbore versions of the Hall were made.
    2
  13506. Because the NFA is fundamentally a tax law - hence the tax stamps.
    2
  13507. https://youtu.be/6jGIKfcsa2g
    2
  13508. Tomorrow
    2
  13509. Yes, there was a version of the Suomi offered by Tikkakoski with a bipod. I have a video on it coming...
    2
  13510. Smoothbore is much less expensive.
    2
  13511. The fellow running the camera on this video (and the G43 one) is the rifle's owner, a vet who is running on about 1/3 of a lung. If I had realized that his breathing would be as noticeable, I would have used a different mic setup - but I didn't realize it when we were filming.
    2
  13512. The fellow running the camera on this video (and the G43 one) is the rifle's owner, a vet who is running on about 1/3 of a lung. If I had realized that his breathing would be as noticeable, I would have used a different mic setup - but I didn't realize it when we were filing.
    2
  13513. Nah, I would definitely take the Enfield over a Reichsrevolver.
    2
  13514. They won't accept ForgottenWeapons for Adsense because of my firearms content.
    2
  13515. Much obliged!
    2
  13516. ***** Scott Thiessen I had the wrong link - it's fixed now.
    2
  13517. Thank you!
    2
  13518. Awesome - thank you!
    2
  13519. I am very pleasantly surprised - you guys are awesome!
    2
  13520. It is, but I had the wrong link. It's fixed now.
    2
  13521. Thank you - please tell your friends! :)
    2
  13522. Huzzah! Thank you!
    2
  13523. Yep, we are doing great so far - thanks to folks like you!
    2
  13524. Thank you - what don't you like about the videos? I would like to improve, and feedback is always welcomed.
    2
  13525. Because I had not heard of it.
    2
  13526. If you want to send a paper check, please write to me at admin@forgottenweapons.com and I will provide you an address where it can go. Thanks!
    2
  13527. Thanks very much!
    2
  13528. Thank you!
    2
  13529. Should be fixed now.
    2
  13530. Thank you!
    2
  13531. A shirt, yes, but not a DVD (I have those drop-shipped, and they can't send to Russia).
    2
  13532. A good high-speed camera is the next thing on my list - this general gear will give a lot more general benefit, but the slow motion is something I will be saving up for as soon as I can.
    2
  13533. Thanks!
    2
  13534. I appreciate it - thanks!
    2
  13535. Thanks!
    2
  13536. Thanks!
    2
  13537. Thanks!
    2
  13538. Thank you!
    2
  13539. Yep, that's the mission - thank you for the help!
    2
  13540. I appreciate it!
    2
  13541. We'll see what we can do. :)
    2
  13542. I just fixed the link.
    2
  13543. Yep, that was a conscious choice based on the amount of money I thought it would be feasible to raise. A reasonably good high speed camera will cost $5500, which is pretty close to the cost of a complete set of standard video equipment - and the standard stuff will improve everything while the high-speed is a specialized tool. That being said, the campaign is going better than I could have imagined, being well over half funded withing the first 24 hours. If folks are willing to keep contributing and I can raise enough money, the high-speed camera is the next thing on my list to get.
    2
  13544. You know that eventually I will get the chance to do that with an authentic original one...and get it on video. ;)
    2
  13545. Thanks! I don't have any plans to expand GunLab for the time being - I just have too many other projects going on. Chuck has a list of planned projects a mile long, though, and he will continue to write about them intermittently.
    2
  13546. Thank you!
    2
  13547. The mount is used in a different configuration for AA fire.
    2
  13548. https://youtu.be/C0ehb2gQgWk
    2
  13549. Yep.
    2
  13550. Can't; YouTube rules.
    2
  13551. I tried; he wouldn't sell it...
    2
  13552. That is the DP12.
    2
  13553. Yes, it is.
    2
  13554. Yes! I think you are the first person to comment on that, despite it having been in several videos now. :)
    2
  13555. This is true.
    2
  13556. I hate to disappoint, but that project will probably never come to fruition. I no longer work in that shop, and have too many other things going on to work on it. Sorry!
    2
  13557. +54Simon54 Yes, it can be.
    2
  13558. No, it is derived from the Lewis Gun.
    2
  13559. To reduce the overall length.
    2
  13560. The SMG reproductions use a normal chamber - they spent the time to get the design working properly without needing a special one. As for originals, I don't know if reloading would be practical - but I also doubt it would be a major concern for someone planning to buy an original.
    2
  13561. Not in any major conflict.
    2
  13562. +Patrice Dubhshláine. Dubhshláine Nope, I keep it trimmed to about what you see.
    2
  13563. Did Hitler Cancel the Sturmgewehr? https://youtu.be/x0FCHyXKb1Y
    2
  13564. Ale7 No, video can only be uploaded by invited channels.
    2
  13565. +Osel Somar No, there is no way he can.
    2
  13566. No, it does not have good hard numbers.
    2
  13567. They can be made to fit, yes.
    2
  13568. Generally, the transfer from the seller to your instate dealer can be done electronically because they are both dealers, and go through in a few days.
    2
  13569. Lots of requests and only a few people processing them, with an antiquated computer system.
    2
  13570. Good catch! I missed that.
    2
  13571. Some elements look like an m/27, but it isn't one.
    2
  13572. Actually a number of revolvers did it decades before the C96...https://youtu.be/RZzIgy4DsKQ
    2
  13573. On a sling, in a bag, or in a holster.
    2
  13574. I suspect because the aircraft and armored vehicle threat wasn't significant until the early 30s.
    2
  13575. No.
    2
  13576. Carbine.
    2
  13577. You can swap ejection side quickly without any extra parts - it's an element in the original VHS-2 design.
    2
  13578. That's because there are none.
    2
  13579. Nobody; you are free to copy it.
    2
  13580. The estimates are at the bottom of each item description at Julia's site (which I link to in each video description).
    2
  13581. Frankly, it would be a ton of work to find or make dummy rounds for the variety of guns that I find at RIA and Julia. Some, like the Mars, are effectively impossible to get.
    2
  13582. https://youtu.be/UYDjQerI0M8
    2
  13583. Lol - I am not a marxist.
    2
  13584. These guns are grandfathered in their factory configuration. Converting them into machine guns is illegal and will get your door kicked in.
    2
  13585. Yes, you have watched Matt Larosiere and he is right.
    2
  13586. +RobertoDonatti NExt time I'm in England, yes.
    2
  13587. Absolutely: https://youtu.be/_hvgZ3qxzbw
    2
  13588. They come from a variety of places - private collections, museums, auction houses, and my own gun collection.
    2
  13589. The first one posts on Friday.
    2
  13590. Finnish M04, from Varusteleka
    2
  13591. It was in yesterday's video: https://youtu.be/M7x0FL2LrY8?t=17
    2
  13592. Yes. The bayonet sits above the barrel, and latches onto the front sight block.
    2
  13593. It's Finnish M04, from Varusteleka.
    2
  13594. It's Finnish M04 desert camo.
    2
  13595. Yes, all of them eventually.
    2
  13596. https://youtu.be/FAIyQ5yqVu8
    2
  13597. Just think about all the money it means Biden is giving to the channels...
    2
  13598. No
    2
  13599. https://youtu.be/KA0N2l9v27k
    2
  13600. Unfortunately, I don't know - I found it at a flea market in Paris.
    2
  13601. Approximately 1 gauge.
    2
  13602. Click the first link in the description.
    2
  13603. No, everyone in the UK does.
    2
  13604. British ones. The Australian versions never went beyond troop trials.
    2
  13605. A solution exists! :) https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-tst-pkm-ammo-can-pouch-100-rnd/33472
    2
  13606. It's your lucky day: https://youtu.be/B2zognbKYT8
    2
  13607. That's true; I should probably do it. :)
    2
  13608. The estimate is always published in the auction house catalog, which I link to in the video description.
    2
  13609. I accidentally published the one without the shooting footage and didn't realize it until just now. Oops!
    2
  13610. No. Phosphorus particles exposed to air produce a cloud of smoke.
    2
  13611. This is more powerflu, more accurate, and longer ranged.
    2
  13612. I wanted to give the 1911 every advantage, to show that even in that case the M1 Carbine comes out superior.
    2
  13613. They did try that. It was heavier (ammo, in an extended mag) and less effective than the M1 Carbine.
    2
  13614. https://youtu.be/smhTeK8T3rg
    2
  13615. Personally? No.
    2
  13616. I spent about 2 weeks on Guadalcanal last fall, and filmed a number of video there, which will be publishing over the next couple months.
    2
  13617. No, that was several months later on the southern perimeter of the airfield.
    2
  13618. Awesome!
    2
  13619. There is a small memorial to Ichiki's men in the field.
    2
  13620. It was hot and humid; the shirt is for sun protection (my pro-active malaria medication has a side effect of sunlight sensitivity as well)
    2
  13621. I would really like to go back specifically for diving...
    2
  13622. No, the length of the gas piston has no relationship to rate of fire.
    2
  13623. Projectile, not cartridge.
    2
  13624. Low velocity + large bore volume = muzzle brake not effective.
    2
  13625. No, it does not.
    2
  13626. A low velocity, large bore gun like this does not get much benefit from a muzzle brake.
    2
  13627. Nope. The round is relatively low pressure and has a large bore - it does not benefit substantially from a muzzle brake.
    2
  13628. PMP makes it, but does not advertise it for civilian sales.
    2
  13629. Excellent.
    2
  13630. It was until it got cancelled.
    2
  13631. Any optic with eye relief is a bad idea on this thing. :)
    2
  13632. Nope. That happens way faster than the time it takes for the recoil buffer to expand, and you can't fire again until that is finished.
    2
  13633. Yes
    2
  13634. This was filmed in South Africa.
    2
  13635. His family is from Greece.
    2
  13636. Not next, but I do have a video filmed on it.
    2
  13637. The 4-bore, by a lot.
    2
  13638. I'm pretty sure "German" isn't a race. Also that "Kraut" is a term of endearment, like Yank and Limey. And lastly, that you really ought to lighten up.
    2
  13639. If you send me some ammo for it, and point me to an example that is fireable (this one has a plugged barrel) I will.
    2
  13640. No, the Bern Lugers do not have stock attachment hardware.
    2
  13641. Yes.
    2
  13642. ostiariusalpha Yes, that is true. However, it seems very unlikely that any additional written account of the event will turn up at this point, so we really only have Earp's word to go on.
    2
  13643. TheDutyPaid Well, now you know not to watch anything that includes the word "InRange".
    2
  13644. trevorlongdentl What is the other half? I have no horse in this race, and any omission of important fact is unintentional...
    2
  13645. Yes, 7x57.
    2
  13646. No, I have not.
    2
  13647. If I can get my hands on one, absolutely. I do have an article with photos in the meantime: https://www.forgottenweapons.com/rifles/fusil-mexico/
    2
  13648. Sorry, I meant audible demarkations.
    2
  13649. The ATF mandates removal of the out-of-battery safety on the US semiauto ones because they consider it a full-auto part.
    2
  13650. It wasn't, actually - the one on the wall was welded up solid so they can display it without and security measures.
    2
  13651. I snuck the link into the end cards of yesterday's video for the folks who watched all the way to the end.
    2
  13652. Thanks - but I definitely need to work on my reloads!
    2
  13653. About 50 yards.
    2
  13654. +fhsreelfilms I don't recall what caused the malfunction - this match was a couple years ago. The scope is a Burris 2-7x32, on an AmegaRanges mount.
    2
  13655. Got a booster before I left for the South Pacific. :) Also yellow fever and a few others...
    2
  13656. There was a similar attitude in France around WWI, that was partially responsible for a lot of black Americans moving there in the 1920s. There was still discrimination, but it was based on class and origin, not skin color. A black American was an American, and generally treated as such.
    2
  13657. Yes. The buckle is not consider a safe holster for competition purposes. :)
    2
  13658. That can only mean that the course of fire was laughably easy.
    2
  13659. C96 Mausers with original stocks are exempt from the NFA.
    2
  13660. No, not yet.
    2
  13661. I had a chance to visit Havana and tried to get to the Museum of the Revolution to film some domestic Cuban small arms, but wasn't able to make it happen. :(
    2
  13662. The gods of history and collecting will smite you if you convert Bergmann pistols to any other caliber. If you want something to shoot in 9x19, there are plenty of options out there.
    2
  13663. Organ Farm No, they did not. It's not simple blowback; the toggle mechanism delays the breech opening until pressure has dropped.
    2
  13664. A Hunter Yes, they do. And yes, I will be doing some video on the P7 at some point here...
    2
  13665. Daniel Maguire It moves fast enough that you don't even notice it.
    2
  13666. ArmageddonArt That's what you will pay for single rounds, whole boxes are about half that.
    2
  13667. elektro3000 I posted this video on Full30 a while back. TFBTV posted their video on the Pedersen on YouTube around that same time, but our two videos are fairly different.
    2
  13668. Ze8us Not that I know of, and I wouldn't hold my breath waiting.
    2
  13669. ***** Good enough to get the job done.
    2
  13670. No. The FAL uses a short stroke piston.
    2
  13671. Of course
    2
  13672. They will happen, once publication time gets closer.
    2
  13673. I agree.
    2
  13674. Haha - I wish we could give away NFA stuff! Logistically it's just not practical though.
    2
  13675. No.
    2
  13676. No, he is not.
    2
  13677. No, it's not.
    2
  13678. No, I do not expect there to be electronic versions.
    2
  13679. It's a one-man operation.
    2
  13680. We can meet to discuss this at the end of a 10 mile hike in which I carry a PKM and you carry an FN MAG. :)
    2
  13681. If I can find one, yes.
    2
  13682. Nope, I have not yet done anything on the standard Argentine Mausers.
    2
  13683. Child, China, chives.
    2
  13684. Either
    2
  13685. No, no lead sleds.
    2
  13686. gebeme11 Cartridges are actually held quite firmly in the elevator. The two side arms are both under tension, and grab with enough strength that I don't think you would ever have a round fall out.
    2
  13687. .303 British
    2
  13688. Got proof?
    2
  13689. Nope, I'm a lefty.
    2
  13690. The rear sight goes up to 800, but 300 or so is probably the maximum practical range.
    2
  13691. Not even an inkling.
    2
  13692. Yes. It allows people to practice a draw from a variety of real-world carry positions that aren't safe for range use - pockets, ankles, shoulder holsters, etc.
    2
  13693. No, it was a limited time option. Sorry!
    2
  13694. Correct.
    2
  13695. A Maxim-Tokarev is on my list to find, but they are pretty scarce, especially outside Russia.
    2
  13696. Because it does not have a solid breech.
    2
  13697. Yes, but the gun would still have to be much heavier to contain the pressure.
    2
  13698. It had just been rebuilt and not fired before.
    2
  13699. Yup. That's Dangerous Bob.
    2
  13700. No. ATF considers open bolt guns to be easily converted into machine guns by default.
    2
  13701. FK Brno.
    2
  13702. Nope.
    2
  13703. FK-Brno 7.5mm.
    2
  13704. https://youtu.be/pf9_NPdNvA0
    2
  13705. No, cases do not need to be lubricated. Clearing malfs actually wouldn't be that much trouble, just a different process than with rifles we're used to.
    2
  13706. Probably wouldn't be hard, although it would have to compete with a lot of other 9mm carbines. If made for the civilian market in the US, it would also have to be redesigned for fire from a closed bolt and that would negate a lot of the cheap manufacturing benefits.
    2
  13707. Lakes.
    2
  13708. +commissarpistols 9mm
    2
  13709. +slowpokebr549 No, it's in 9x19.
    2
  13710. My mother made it for me.
    2
  13711. https://youtu.be/JMbCbAhwp_w
    2
  13712. Two years ago. Look for my Type 94 at the BUG match video.
    2
  13713. In South Africa, at a private collection.
    2
  13714. I have one filmed on the Mamba, but not the Jumbo.
    2
  13715. That's actually just the mounting bracket to held the gun on the wall by way of a rod in the barrel.
    2
  13716. It is magazine, because it is a magazine fed rifle.
    2
  13717. I'm sure you can figure out the conversion.
    2
  13718. There are none.
    2
  13719. An 02/07 SOT.
    2
  13720. That is why I do not have a direct link, but you would have to ask the auction house about its direct impact on them.
    2
  13721. No, it was developed in the US, from the .222 Remington. However, the SS109 62gr loading adopted by NATO later on was Belgian in origin.
    2
  13722. https://youtu.be/js4d8c7KzCQ
    2
  13723. Accuracy is the one area where is wasn't a serious disappointment, so that's what its supporters focussed on. In reality, it's not significantly more accurate than the AR family.
    2
  13724. I have seen one in 5.56, but not 5.8mm. As far as I can tell it's fine, but not exemplary in any way. Certainly better than an L85A1 though!
    2
  13725. If you hold it left handed, it will eject empty cases into the side of your face.
    2
  13726. It's not.
    2
  13727. Just picked up a semiautomatics M76 Valmet...and I am excited to have it. :)
    2
  13728. I have spoken in person with several British military veterans who have significant combat experience with the L85A1.
    2
  13729. Well, yes - I'm showing an A1 here, and describing the A1.
    2
  13730. Yep, you sure have me figured out!
    2
  13731. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF5iMuW2F5E
    2
  13732. They weren't used in the Falklands; that was done with SLRs.
    2
  13733. Here's the complete playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9e3UCcU00TTKZGYyt7empeySNqh-xJWb
    2
  13734. The No.9 rifle (the EM-2) was also a bullpup, but mechanically totally different from the L85. I will cover the L85 development in a future video.
    2
  13735. The piston is inside the bolt carrier. Here's how it works: https://youtu.be/4xlKgkwt6Ro
    2
  13736. No, that's the real gun in its carry case.
    2
  13737. Yes, C&R is a moving 50-year standard
    2
  13738. Yes, they became standard in Finnish service in fact
    2
  13739. It's a Varusteleka jacket with a CZ patch: https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-windproof-smock/34637?
    2
  13740. This was literally called "Skorpion 9x19" by CZ; it's the 1990s production of what was originally designated vz.68.
    2
  13741. We borrowed one from the vz.68.
    2
  13742. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-windproof-smock/34637?
    2
  13743. Yep.
    2
  13744. The contenders would be Owen, Beretta 38A, and ZK-383 in my opinion.
    2
  13745. This was filmed in January.
    2
  13746. January.
    2
  13747. @bebyrd I didn't rebarrel the rifle.
    2
  13748. +ratride1 Not yet...
    2
  13749. It’s the same video, the app version is longer
    2
  13750. I made a try at it, and failed. Permaculture is really hard in the high desert when you are not there all the time.
    2
  13751. Thanks!
    2
  13752. There isn't really more of it than normal, they are just a subject I prioritize because they are quite rare.
    2
  13753. Nope.
    2
  13754. No. I like that shirt.
    2
  13755. That video is coming ;)
    2
  13756. Yep.
    2
  13757. jeffxl12 That's the one - it's actually taking place over three days, though. This particular item will be sold on Saturday, the second day of the auction.
    2
  13758. The auction is run by Rock Island Auction Company, on September 13th - see the link at the very beginning of the description text.
    2
  13759. Yes, although I have been sidetracked with other things.
    2
  13760. Chapter 7. All assets will be sold to pay creditors.
    2
  13761. The first guns were produced in 1949, and the stamped receiver was dropped after about 2 years as being impractical. Two milled receiver types followed before the stamped receiver was finally perfected and introduced as the AKM in 1959.
    2
  13762. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittman–Robertson_Federal_Aid_in_Wildlife_Restoration_Act
    2
  13763. You should ask for a refund of your prepayment.
    2
  13764. Yes, I am.
    2
  13765. Thanks!
    2
  13766. The blog post has been up for 8 years :) https://www.forgottenweapons.com/browning-m2-anti-mechanization-weapon/
    2
  13767. Yes - I am transitioning to a new merch supplier. We should have things in a month or two.
    2
  13768. They are pretty much endlessly reusable as long as they don't damaged by rust, being stepped on, etc.
    2
  13769. https://youtu.be/3BZEu6cOFJs
    2
  13770. C'est un arme a feu interesante. Tout ce canal c'est armes a feu interesantes.
    2
  13771. Happened long ago. Note the picatinny rail on the shoulder stock assembly.
    2
  13772. It has one. You can see it on the stock assembly.
    2
  13773. 12.7
    2
  13774. They are just parroting a video game line.
    2
  13775. https://www.hkpro.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=63:p7m10&catid=6:the-pistols&Itemid=5
    2
  13776. https://youtu.be/fRLIYz8f58E?t=132
    2
  13777. We can only imagine the chaos that would ensue.
    2
  13778. Saturday, at Desert Brutality.
    2
  13779. I did in fact use it for PCC division. Video posts on Saturday…
    2
  13780. Desert Brutality! :)
    2
  13781. Crap, I thought I edited that out! ;)
    2
  13782. Saturday.
    2
  13783. That's the latch to release the stock.
    2
  13784. Email ModGuns; I'm sure they would be happy to do it for you
    2
  13785. Yes, B&T makes one
    2
  13786. Why would you not want to know how to do it?
    2
  13787. You are welcome to be annoyed, but both pronunciations are equally correct.
    2
  13788. That's the MAS-36/51, which replace the LG48.
    2
  13789. It was developed after WW1.
    2
  13790. No. The 42/59 has a heavy bolt and low rate of fire; the MG3 has a light bolt and high rate of fire.
    2
  13791. No, not quite.
    2
  13792. If you have moved, please email us with your order number and new address at info@headstamppublishing.com .
    2
  13793. Yes
    2
  13794. Hotchkiss Universal.
    2
  13795. MAS 36 CR39
    2
  13796. Yes, Johnston & Nelson's "The World's Assault Rifles".
    2
  13797. No.
    2
  13798. Yes.
    2
  13799. The match director here loves inflicting pain. :)
    2
  13800. Yeah, it was. I practice with 80-lb at home.
    2
  13801. 8.5 pounds naked, 11lb with mag and can, 14lb with mag, can, and optic.
    2
  13802. I am working on getting hands on those as well.
    2
  13803. I believe they released just 27 of them for sale.
    2
  13804. No. The law was changed in 1986 to prevent new registration of machine guns.
    2
  13805. No.
    2
  13806. Nothing. C&R status does not override NFA requirements. The only change is that if you have a C&R license and buy a C&R machine gun from someone in another state, after the NFA transfer is approved the gun can be shipped directly to you instead of having to go through a dealer in your state.
    2
  13807. Cameron Jenkins Hungariae.com claims it's in 8x21, and their info is usually very good - and I haven't been able to find any conflicting info. Could be wrong, though. You'd need to do a chamber cast on one to know for sure.
    2
  13808. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find any more information about the cartridge, except that it appears to be different from the 8mm Roth-Steyr used in the 1907 pistol.
    2
  13809. Not yet, but I anticipate that I will.
    2
  13810. He also shoots the safari rifle match at Ben Avery... :)
    2
  13811. It’s an old felt Stetson
    2
  13812. The man teaches shotgun technique; he's got recoil control DOWN.
    2
  13813. It' right in the description...https://polenartactical.com/shop/holsters/1363-tt-holster-bgs.html
    2
  13814. The hammer is down when its holstered.
    2
  13815. Tom made it himself.
    2
  13816. With a 24 inch barrel, it was really necessary.
    2
  13817. No, I am too. I put what I know in the description text.
    2
  13818. bowtie1969 Nope, you are correct. If that happened, you would have to open the bolt cover and manually move the bolt forward or back, or pull it out of the action.
    2
  13819. Concern that a gas port drilled in the barrel would cause accuracy problems and premature wear on the barrel.
    2
  13820. RyeOnHam No, they don't.
    2
  13821. 556deltawolf Not that I am aware of, although the G43 borrows heavily from it.
    2
  13822. Yup, it will be a few months but I have a source for one to film.
    2
  13823. +Jonas Kilian Lol...I should. :) Thanks!
    2
  13824. +SdKfz 2 No problem, every dollar helps. Thanks!
    2
  13825. +Muh Gunz It's my rifle for next month's 2-gun match...gonna see if I can regain some honor for the French. :)
    2
  13826. +Tim9999999991 I had a hard time just trying to find a photo of a real one...
    2
  13827. +Tyler Brown No, there were also reasons involving accuracy.
    2
  13828. +McBandit Hope No, the Walker was long out of production by this time.
    2
  13829. They were looking for a rifle caliber weapon, not pistol caliber.
    2
  13830. Not at Rock Island, no. Sorry.
    2
  13831. +HPBrowningBoy Yeah, I've seen that claim. I have not found any reputable source for it, though.
    2
  13832. J'apprends le français pour ces armes; c'est une bonne occasion pour vous d'apprendre l'anglais pour les vidéos... :)
    2
  13833. Drums usually don't work well.
    2
  13834. No, it is not an NFA item. Legally it is simply a rifle.
    2
  13835. No
    2
  13836. We will get to the A2; be patient. :)
    2
  13837. That is a fairly common thing in MAS 38s. The stock has shrunk around the metal tube housing the bolt and spring, and cracked as a result. It's not from recoil, and won't get worse or break from shooting.
    2
  13838. It's a hat with no insignia. Calm down.
    2
  13839. Yup.
    2
  13840. No, not yet.
    2
  13841. Yes, I think the FAL in .280 would have been much better than the 7.62 version.
    2
  13842. Doug Score 0/10; has no engine.
    2
  13843. It's audible.
    2
  13844. It is silent, except for the clack of the firing solenoid.
    2
  13845. No noise, far cheaper ammunition, and no use of lead are a few that come to mind offhand.
    2
  13846. It's the prototype of the commercially available model.
    2
  13847. They do not; coil guns don't work that way. Check out the interview we did on Wednesday; that's one of the things we discuss: https://youtu.be/NIl1XmEDdVY
    2
  13848. Video games have ruined peoples' expectations... :)
    2
  13849. Correct. Firearms, by legal definition, use combustion to propel a projectile. This does not; ergo it is not a firearm.
    2
  13850. Hard to say after only seeing the first two episodes. Could go either way at this point...
    2
  13851. Oh did I? 🧐
    2
  13852. When I find one, I certainly will.
    2
  13853. When I find access to one, I will!
    2
  13854. It vents every time the action cycles.
    2
  13855. He changed his mind, and you can now find them sold direct through Royal Tiger Imports.
    2
  13856. I'm aware of them, but haven't taken a close look at one myself.
    2
  13857. Yes, if you had one.
    2
  13858. No, their scheduling function has been having problems.
    2
  13859. No, recuasse the 1909 strips are made for .30-06 and will not fit 8mm Lebel. However, they did make the same sort of articulated belts for the 8mm Hotchkiss guns. They are quite rare, unfortunately.
    2
  13860. I have done several; just do a search for LeMat.
    2
  13861. About a week ago.
    2
  13862. Correct.
    2
  13863. It was the competition for Swedish adoption that led to the Arctic Warfare rifle being developed from the L96A1. The British would later adopt this as the L118 rifle, and I have a video coming about it (and the changes between the L96 and the AW).
    2
  13864. No, not quite.
    2
  13865. Yes.
    2
  13866. The Arctic Warfare model was developed from the PM, and will be covered in a later video.
    2
  13867. That's actually a different rifle, which I will cover in a separate video.
    2
  13868. I have videos on the M85, L115, and L118 coming.
    2
  13869. CircleofMadness It's a fairly common way for older pistol designs to work.
    2
  13870. The PPSh was used more during WWII, the PPS did not fully replace it until after the war.
    2
  13871. My skills increased drastically by having Othais edit this video. :)
    2
  13872. Anthropoid
    2
  13873. My French has a improved a lot in the 5 years since this was filmed.
    2
  13874. I'd love to, if I can get my hands on one.
    2
  13875. HK 416F.
    2
  13876. No, it’s not.
    2
  13877. They haven't decided yet.
    2
  13878. No.
    2
  13879. Otto Noizebarriers
    2
  13880. The big companies like Aimpoint and Trijicon do not yet have pistol optics in the RMS Shield footprint.
    2
  13881. 100gr American Eagle FMJ
    2
  13882. Otto Noizebarriers
    2
  13883. That's because it is. :)
    2
  13884. We just sent out an update email on Tuesday - paper arrived this week and the printing process is beginning. We are anticipating arrival in our warehouse at the end of February.
    2
  13885. Thanks!
    2
  13886. Some people juggle geese...*shrug*
    2
  13887. Camera audio always misrepresents loudness.
    2
  13888. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-tst-woolshell-jacket/59958
    2
  13889. There is probably a way to use a Terry carbine stock on it and register the thing as an SBR.
    2
  13890. As far as I know, they were only sold as semiautos.
    2
  13891. All the German military ones did, but not the commercial ones.
    2
  13892. +Lukegriz77 It varies by auction and by what guns I happen to do videos on.
    2
  13893. Thanks!
    2
  13894. If you really want to donate something, our PayPAl address is info@inrange.tv- but I'd rather you share the show with your friends!
    2
  13895. Yeah, I really should.
    2
  13896. Yes, the Mac is an open bolt gun both with and without the Lage conversion. Glad you enjoy the show! FYI, it looks like I'll be going back to Rock Island for their December auction, so you'll be getting a bunch more auction item videos in another month or two... :)
    2
  13897. Thanks!
    2
  13898. I got it from a gun show vendor, and have not been able to find it online since.
    2
  13899. EDSKaR Google advertising is what YouTube uses (YouTube is owned by Google). I have lots of experience with it from this channel, and it doesn't pay all that well - not anywhere near enough to finance a new show like this. If it was a viable option, we would have absolutely gone with it - it's a lot easier than PPV, and would help the show grow in viewership a lot faster.
    2
  13900. I don't blame him - they are really long.
    2
  13901. I was saying "moldy web gear".
    2
  13902. If you have the option between a closed-bolt submachine gun and a semiauto pistol caliber carbine, I don't see any reason to take the carbine, all else being equal.
    2
  13903. Either one is fine.
    2
  13904. This type is the best - the FAL, FNC, and Daewoo K2.
    2
  13905. Varusteleka.com
    2
  13906. I will post them once RIA posts them.
    2
  13907. They are Icelandic sweaters that we bought in Iceland.
    2
  13908. Before 1968, there was no law requiring guns to have serial numbers, so it really didn't matter.
    2
  13909. +Krato I do, occasionally.
    2
  13910. +William Cox Thanks!
    2
  13911. +ReDemoN Whoops - that one doesn't publish until next week.
    2
  13912. +Johannes Steinhelfer The Welrod and DeLisle are both guns I would like to do some video on, but both very scarce here in the US. I have shot both, but not at a time when I could do video.
    2
  13913. +Lori McGeary Not really.
    2
  13914. +Entropy Zero Yes, it can absolutely be fired while standing - you would use the sling and fire from the hip (like Othias does in that video).
    2
  13915. +Большой_Звезды _Протуберанец Yup.
    2
  13916. +Sharpknifesedge Yeah, Dan Carlin's work is outstanding.
    2
  13917. The most common - the only one really issued in quantity - was the French RSC 1917. Others used in small numbers include the RSC1918, Farquhar-hill, Mauser 1916, Mondragon, meunier A6, and probably a couple others I am forgetting about.
    2
  13918. Like the original AR-15, that is primarily a guard for the charging handle, and thus must be as long as the bolt carrier stroke. On the FAMAS, it's also a guard for the sights, and they are better when longer.
    2
  13919. That is the charging handle.
    2
  13920. I did a video on McCrae when I had a chance to visit the Essex dressing station, and saw his pistol later in Ottawa. Unfortunately, the video was on InRange, and Karl has removed it.
    2
  13921. Blatant Abuse Nope, only at Full30.
    2
  13922. I broke the SCAR new weeks ago on Instagram. ;)
    2
  13923. Send me one and I will happily do a video on it.
    2
  13924. It's an appealing-sounding concept that never does die.
    2
  13925. Lots of cool things are bad ideas. :)
    2
  13926. It's a very appealing idea, and everybody thinks they can do it right.
    2
  13927. What you mean is, Chinese drums will have the wrong tension 50% of the time and cause malfunctions, because people forget how much they already wound them and also how much they are supposed to wind them.
    2
  13928. Yes.
    2
  13929. A helical drum, yes. And it worked so well they replaced it with a stick mag version of the Vityaz. :)
    2
  13930. Too long to use the gun prone.
    2
  13931. I'm sorry if reality doesn't agree with your desires.
    2
  13932. If you consider them successful, you have an odd definition of success.
    2
  13933. In competition shooting, most of the drum problems are not relevant.
    2
  13934. Neil Peart may use as many drums as he likes!
    2
  13935. Like I said, the idea is really appealing and never dies.
    2
  13936. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C37OAHao9AA
    2
  13937. No, Oswald had a 6.5mm one.
    2
  13938. I don't write video scripts, and the Royal Armouries do not have any editorial control over my videos - they don't actually see them until I publish them.
    2
  13939. Guns are less effective in the dark, when you miss because you can't see the target.
    2
  13940. That would make it substantially more complex to build.
    2
  13941. Yes, the Brugger & Thomet VP9. I have a video on it which will publish at some point...
    2
  13942. One should never expect to find anything useful in the comments.
    2
  13943. So much so that I share that link at the end of the video. :)

    2
  13950. Occasionally, but not very often.
    2
  13951. It's "pawl"
    2
  13952. I would say that it is not likely, but it is possible.
    2
  13953. Shots Fired in Anger and Ordnance Went Up Front.
    2
  13954. Simple - you don't. :)
    2
  13955. An abundance of caution and liability.
    2
  13956. Oops.
    2
  13957. No, because the spring isn't actually in the gas piston itself. It's not exposed to all that much heat, relatively speaking.
    2
  13958. Yep
    2
  13959. Yeah, I forgot about that one
    2
  13960. Gas operated and gas delayed are different things…
    2
  13961. Correct
    2
  13962. Yes, heat can be an issue with all of them.
    2
  13963. It's not gas-delayed...
    2
  13964. +viking93ify Not all that common, but not unheard of. The ZB-30J was adjustable, as were some of the early Hotchkiss light guns.
    2
  13965. That video is coming later this month.
    2
  13966. Later this month.
    2
  13967. Yes.

    2
  13972. Nothing. It's probably still on a shelf in that shop just as it was at the end of the video.
    2
  13973. They have an actual example at the Cody Firearms Museum.
    2
  13974. Yes.

  13979. To protect nuclear material transportation
    2
  13980. It's in the description text - Low Powered Variable Optic. The name was coined when they were basically all 1-4 and 1-6 power.
    2
  13981. The DOE guards nuclear materials - they have very good reason to be armed.
    2
  13982. @jmantime Not yet...but we're always looking. :)
    2
  13983. Harold Weaver Smith No, the VP70 is plain blowback.
    2
  13984. Nope.
    2
  13985. Danners. I don't remember the specific model.
    2
  13986. That should say something about the current political climate.
    2
  13987. Usually it's because they are using ammo that is loaded light to save wear and tear on the brass, and does not have enough power to fully cycle the action.
    2
  13988. I didn't want to punch a hole in his drywall.
    2
  13989. My apologies on your unfortunate fun-ectomy.
    2
  13990. In the previous month's match, one stage starts with you drawing your pistol out of a pot of chili. They are meant to be fun, not necessarily practical scenarios.
    2
  13991. I didn't.
    2
  13992. This match is intended for backup CCW pistols, which are often carried in ways that are not safe on the range (shoulder, ankle, pocket, etc). The swap is done so people can go through the motions of drawing from whatever style of holster they normally use.
    2
  13993. We trust each other.
    2
  13994. As long as you learned more from my video than from that show, I am doing my job.
    2
  13995. Sorry! Got distracted by machine guns this morning and forgot to post it!
    2
  13996. We have a bunch of Albanian ones in the US. Uncommon, but not like the big three.
    2
  13997. The rimmed cartridge certainly doesn't help anything, but it was only a problem for me here insofar as the Enfield clips were more difficult to load into the rifle than the Mauser clips. As far as rifle designs, I think it's more of a tradeoff and choice of priorities than a matter of one being definitively better than the other.
    2
  13998. We will probably do some more matches this way, but haven't made any decision on what guns to use in the next one. Krag/Mauser would be interesting, but so would some more modern stuff.
    2
  13999. I've shot enough matches with Karl to be quite sure that the result would be no different if we swapped guns. If I was going to have a chance at this one, it would have been with the faster gun.
    2
  14000. Stage 4 required the handgun to be shot weak-hand-only at the steel through the windows (the Texas Star could be done any way you liked).
    2
  14001. It's from 1791 Apparel - very cool folks. And FYI, they offer a 10% discount to Forgotten Weapons Premium Members... :)
    2
  14002. Yep, I did have the clips loaded correctly. I think one of the magazine feed lips needs a little tweaking.
    2
  14003. No.
    2
  14004. The G36 is just fine. It alleged problems are overblown and misunderstood.
    2
  14005. +Abyssaljam One man can load and operate it by himself.
    2
  14006. United Defense M42.
    2
  14007. I believe one is .50 BMG and the other is a 37mm round.
    2
  14008. Yes, Dutch contract.
    2
  14009. Live.
    2
  14010. It's true.
    2
  14011. Yes.

  14012. No, it's private.
    2
  14013. Yes, I will.
    2
  14014. Dutch FN-D.
    2
  14015. Yes, I would be - can you email me at admin@forgottenweapons.com?
    2
  14016. It's a soviet boonie hat from their invasion of Afghanistan
    2
  14017. Probably, but that's several years away.
    2
  14018. Definitely!
    2
  14019. As you shoot, the screw holding on the lever starts to loosen, and the lever moves more.
    2
  14020. An extra cartridge used to top up a magazine after chambering the first round. It's named after the one round that Barney Fife got in the Andy Griffith Show.
    2
  14021. Thanks!
    2
  14022. It's a 6" barrel, plus suppressor.
    2
  14023. Not sure yet. This was my first time running this ammo in the Honey Badger; a much more substantive video on it is in the works.
    2
  14024. It is important to note that my suppressed shooting was all done with subsonic ammo - most suppressed shooting uses normal supersonic ammo, and the supersonic crack it creates is quite loud.
    2
  14025. I know!
    2
  14026. That's it's muzzle flash.
    2
  14027. Yup, proving my own point pretty well, I think. :)
    2
  14028. We tried; couldn't find a US printer that could do the elements we needed (gilding, spine hubs, embossing, etc) and was also willing to do it (our US printer from Chassepot to FAMAS wouldn't;t even quote the job).
    2
  14029. From their web site: "Easton Press editions are bound in the U.S.A. with imported materials". My guess is that they are printing in China and then binding here in the US.
    2
  14030. No, not this time. There will be a batch available from Varusteleka though.
    2

  14033. Probably not ideal.
    2

    2
  14035. Not applicable. That can't be imported into the US.
    2
  14036. 0; illegal.
    2
  14037. Seemed to work fine.
    2
  14038. +JACKSONLEWISOFCANADA This is not true. The US sold M14 tooling to Taiwan, but not the PRC.
    2
  14039. Yes, it has a cut for a shoulder stock. Given everything else about the gun, though, it's really an open question whether a stock was ever made to fit it.
    2
  14040. I didn't do a video before, but I have written about a couple of these guns on ForgottenWeapons.com
    2
  14041. Yes, that's correct. Sadly he passed away, and I don't know if the H&R book will be published at all.
    2
  14042. Yes, it is (although not in much depth).
    2
  14043. Gotta distinguish it from Paris, Texas!
    2
  14044. No, you don't need to be a citizen to buy property. Same in the US; you don't need to be a citizen here to buy/own property.
    2
  14045. Yep, it's intended for people who already know the creator(s) they want to support.
    2
  14046. At lower pledge levels, Patreon. At higher, they are equal.
    2
  14047. Was I not clear enough about that? Sorry.
    2
  14048. Honestly, they are effectively equal to me. Use the one you prefer - thanks!
    2
  14049. At a low tier, Patreon is better for me (because it doesn't have to pay for bandwidth).
    2
  14050. Yes, of course.
    2
  14051. Yes.
    2
  14052. Yes, you certainly can - thanks!
    2
  14053. Sorry, but no - I'm not tracking that. Just uploading videos as I see more people joining.
    2
  14054. Double stack means two column of cartridges in the body of the magazine. Double feed is indeed a term with two meanings.
    2
  14055. The C96 (and the Bergmann) barrel does move relative to the magazine. They are both recoil operated actions.
    2
  14056. Yes.
    2
  14057. They are fulfilling the last of the preorders right now.
    2
  14058. For moderate budgets, you can't beat the Holosun. If you have the coin, Aimpoint.
    2
  14059. It's listed as pre-order because they are fulfilling the last of the pre-orders right now, but rifle are arriving in quantity at Brownells every day.
    2
  14060. Don't worry, they are getting new batches in from KE regularly. You will get yours soon.
    2
  14061. badgervsturtle No, I will still do videos with shooting. But the auctions give me an opportunity to look at a bunch of different items I would not easily find elsewhere.
    2
  14062. It was machined from a single big piece of steel.
    2
  14063. Because a big group of the original South African immigrants were Dutch farmers. :)
    2
  14064. Yes, this was filmed in South Africa.
    2
  14065. Hate all you want, but every single person with any iota of responsibility for those events is dead.
    2
  14066. So the ejector has a place to slide through when you open the bolt.
    2
  14067. Yeah, I screwed that detail up. Dammit.
    2
  14068. Pretty much only in markings.
    2
  14069. No, my host uses padded rods in the bore to hang pistols on the wall.
    2
  14070. You also don't live in the ZAR...
    2
  14071. We considered that, but the revenue from the first episode will be instrumental in producing the second episode.
    2
  14072. I did. :)  But you're not the first person to complain about it, and I have a second trailer that is publishing tomorrow. It's about 15 minutes long, and will give you a pretty comprehensive idea of what the show is and what we're doing in it.
    2
  14073. Here you go: InRange TV - Extended Preview of Episode 1
    2
  14074. First line in the description text. This was pulled from the auction before sale.
    2
  14075. No, we took some time to make good renderings of the basic book before we started, and haven't had a chance to do new ones. We have pictures of the individual elements, but not the book with them integrated.
    2
  14076. Yes. It's expensive, but we can.
    2
  14077. You still can...
    2
  14078. $60.
    2
  14079. We tried to make that happen, and weren't able to find a good solution in time. I would still like to in the future...
    2
  14080. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it's in the white and very clean.
    2
  14081. Not sure - I didn't have a production reference to check the serial number against.
    2
  14082. I did.
    2
  14083. I will. Have, actually, it just hasn't posted yet.
    2
  14084. Not that I know of.
    2
  14085. The BXP yes; the Uzi no (at least not on this trip).
    2
  14086. The CR21 is a Galil action and uses standard Galil magazines.
    2
  14087. Nope, the South Africans never had any.
    2
  14088. I use the flag from the time and place where a gun was adopted. So my videos on South African guns use the old flag for pre-94 designs and the new flag for post-94 designs.
    2
  14089. The R2 was a folding stock FAL and the R3 was a semiauto only FAL carbine for police.
    2
  14090. I agree entirely, and I apologize for the ad. I wish I had a say in what ads were run.
    2
  14091. It is still in transfer.
    2
  14092. Ever shot a 1909 Benet-Mercie?
    2
  14093. They were obsolete, and we didn't have many of them anyway. Marlin did make some modifications to the design and made a lot of them during the war for aircraft and tanks, though.
    2
  14094. +Al Martin Ian. Glad you liked the video!
    2
  14095. +Nottoknow NT Yep.
    2
  14096. +Metaxas Nicolaides Nope, haven't done anything on the Sten yet.
    2
  14097. +MAMODMAN95 I will do a disassembly video on another one later on. I want to do that portion properly, but it would have dragged this video out the 40 or 45 minutes long.
    2
  14098. yes lol
    2
  14099. +Eric Morrison The magazine is a bit difficult to load at the end, but not too bad with practice. The bipod does not detach, but does fold up.
    2
  14100. +Miguel Ángel Simón Fernández Yes, the Spanish bought the ones from Polish inventory.
    2
  14101. The ATF's C&R list includes a list of guns which would be NFA items but have been exempted because they are historically collectible. These include most early pistols with shoulder stocks (including the C96), but only if both the gun and stock are original. Putting a repro stock on a C96 technically makes it an SBR. You can see the official list here: https://www.atf.gov/files/publications/firearms/curios-relics/p-5300-11-firearms-curios-or-relics-list.pdf
    2
  14102. I don't have one myself, but I do know a fellow with one. Not sure if we can shoot it or not, though.
    2
  14103. Too powerful for a blowback action.
    2
  14104. I stand by my assertion that the aperture sight on the 1903 is kinda useless (my exact words in the video). The 1903 has both a notch and an aperture, and the aperture is far to small to be practical for anything except the KD target range. Have you ever tried using one?
    2
  14105. It would be too powerful.
    2
  14106. Yes.
    2
  14107. We filmed several videos, and had different Bond actor elements in each one. No message about Lazenby here; just some neat paraphernalia.
    2
  14108. Nope.

    2
  14110. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvfABFaiBVo
    2
  14111. That's an American 180. I have a video on it coming in a week or two.
    2
  14112. Nope. That stopping being allowed in 1986.
    2
  14113. Yes.
    2
  14114. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvfABFaiBVo BTW, that is why the next issued carbine, the shortened M16, was given the designation M4.
    2
  14115. +gwgn02 I'll take your word for it; I've never watched either of them.
    2
  14116. +lawgiver1 So you can use either clips or new mags.
    2
  14117. It is not a technical term, but it is defined by law; it was formalized in the 1994 Omnibus Crime Bill.
    2
  14118. The Federal ban expired in 2004.
    2
  14119. You will get a followup email after the end of the kickstarter to provide shipping details.
    2
  14120. If you check out Desert Brutality 2018, you can see me run it through 8 stages and 2 days of competition...
    2
  14121. $95
    2
  14122. You will get a follow-up email after the campaign that will ask for shipping information.
    2
  14123. https://www.headstamppublishing.com/publications#thorneycroft
    2
  14124. Yes, YouTube. An email will go out to Kickstarter and Patrons when it starts.
    2
  14125. https://youtu.be/Jcyq6bxb4rU
    2
  14126. Yes, it is a registered destructive device.
    2
  14127. Practice makes perfect...also, the trigger lanyard is down at the base of the piece where it will be least likely to affect the aim.
    2
  14128. Nope. I've handled examples of the VG-1 and VG-2, but not the 3 or 4.
    2
  14129. With a heavy enough bolt, a blowback action will function safely in any caliber - there were a ton of 20mm Oerlikon AA cannons made that were just blowback actions during and after WWII. But for a shoulder-fired rifle, blowback quickly becomes a poor choice by virtue of weight and balance.
    2
  14130. Mike Foxtrot No reproduction that I know of, unfortunately. It really doesn't share anything in common with the AUG beyond the bullpup layout.
    2
  14131. Nope - to my knowledge there aren't any surviving examples.
    2
  14132. Geronimo989 Maybe, but it will never be as practical and controllable without the stock as with it.
    2
  14133. dan hardy No, I don't think it would be.
    2
  14134. +The-sneaky-skunk Yes, it is registered per the NFA.
    2
  14135. Boredout454 Keep in mind that if people knew about the nice parts of Texas (same with Arizona), a lot more of them might move there...and do you really want that? :)
    2
  14136. They are very thin, and breathe well. I want to have some type of long pants to protect my legs from underbrush when shooting from prone or kneeing positions, as well as when running through scrub (I don't think the actual competition course is open road like my practice runs have been).
    2
  14137. Boredout454 Is New Hampshire 10k wide? :)
    2
  14138. No, they cancelled it. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/pecos-run-n-gun-disappointment/
    2
  14139. It's the pistol I have the most experience with. I know it works, I have good gear for it, and I know where it shoots.
    2
  14140. Benjamin Reed Yes. The bolt sleeve and locking lugs are rotated into position by a cam, so that moving the bolt handle in a straight line is translated into rotary motion. The Schmidt-Rubin Swiss rifles, the Canadia Ross rifles, and the Steyr Mannlicher rifles are the main groups of straight-pulls out there (the US Lee Navy is similar in use, but mechanically quite different).
    2
  14141. Major was a reserve rank, he was reinstated to his proper rank of Captain when he rejoined active service.
    2
  14142. No, I don't.
    2
  14143. They are not regulated.
    2
  14144. I don't know - I would guess 10-15.
    2
  14145. Nyet.
    2
  14146. The English had better watch out.
    2
  14147. Eat 115mm, spinner...
    2
  14148. The whole set of fatigues came from Varusteleka :)
    2

    2
  14150. PX cask - it's only sold in duty-free travel shops.
    2
  14151. You know that isn't the point, right?
    2
  14152. Liquid fuel.
    2
  14153. It was diesel fuel.
    2
  14154. Yes, it has recoil like a pressure washer.
    2
  14155. +spottless Hopefully I will have that chance.
    2
  14156. +Dan's Hope After going through the safety checks and instruction, not nervous at all.
    2
  14157. +Unoriginal Username Desert Storm commemorative!
    2
  14158. Recoil was like a pressure washer. Reloading take a few minutes; faster if you snap on a prefilled pressure tank, slower if you recharge the one already mounted.
    2
  14159. +Jacques Benoit Yes, diesel.
    2
  14160. +Visconte Very carefully.
    2
  14161. +iota-09 Sorry. Guy with the flamethrower gets to choose the units of measurement. :)
    2
  14162. +DAM [20] I'm a historian. Never served in the military.
    2
  14163. +Motlow #1 Straight #2 diesel.
    2
  14164. Not really, because the fuel doesn't burn in the nozzle cap itself. Also, it is simply not intended to be reloaded like a firearm magazine; 5 flares is enough to handle a full tank of fuel.
    2
  14165. +TheStaticUnit Not loud enough to require earplugs. Hard to think of a good comparison, though.
    2
  14166. No, that's standard to all of them.
    2
  14167. That's Colt's logo.
    2
  14168. No.
    2
  14169. Probably really well.
    2
  14170. It's already en route toFinland so I had to use something else.
    2
  14171. The match designer this month is also going to Finnish Brutality, and so the stages were deliberately made awful.
    2
  14172. Anything up to 29 is just fine; 30 is unacceptable. Because....reasons?
    2
  14173. Yes. Thirty or more and they will demonetize your video.
    2
  14174. It's the upper I had available for the build. Do I think a forward assist is necessary? No. Am I a zealot about it? Also no.
    2
  14175. Finnish M04.
    2
  14176. It's already en route to Finland.
    2
  14177. Finnish M04
    2
  14178. No - it has already been shipped to Finland for Finnish Brutality; that's why I didn't have it here.
    2
  14179. Nope, it's already on its way to Finland, so I didn't have it available for this match.
    2
  14180. There should have been, but none of us noticed it at the time.
    2
  14181. Otto Noizebarriers
    2
  14182. I don't recall the belt brand; the fatigues are M04 Finnish desert camo form Varusteleka. Thanks!
    2
  14183. No, spalling is really easy to distinguish from bullet holes.
    2
  14184. I had already shipped my Alien to Finland, so I had to use an alternative...
    2
  14185. Edgertronic
    2
  14186. I've seen it! :)
    2
  14187. Ok.
    2
  14188. Because I knew I would complaints either way, but figured I would get fewer if I included subtitles for the people who perhaps don't speak English as their native language.
    2
  14189. Nope. This fires a shell double the weight of the Rodman and the gun itself is almost twice as massive as the biggest production Rodman.
    2
  14190. From Reynir's book, "Men of Terror: A Comprehensive Analysis of Viking Combat" - https://amzn.to/4d5nfSm
    2
  14191. There is debate over that question; I have not seen a conclusive answer.
    2
  14192. I have come to recognize that the HMG StG will never happen, sadly.
    2
  14193. That's because I welded it myself.
    2
  14194. Doug is the Ian McCollum of cars; I started first XD
    2
  14195. And yet ironically, FN has always been a private company.
    2
  14196. Yes, I did.
    2
  14197. I didn't look, but I would guess Korean War vet bringback.
    2
  14198. We had magazine problems with the gun, and were unable to film a shooting video. Sorry!
    2
  14199. Basically, because they cost more and provide no real benefit over traditional systems. Hunters and target shooters don't really care if the system can allow them to cycle the action 0.1sec faster.
    2
  14200. The 7.62 NATO examples of the EM2 weren't conversions of .280 rifles; they were made from the ground up in the NATO cartridge. The magazines for the two cartridges are different in length, as are the magazine wells in the receivers. Interestingly, there was one EM-2 converted to .30-06 as a test - the Pattern Room collection has it today. On it, both the receiver and magazine were sliced vertically and a spaced welded in to lengthen them. Really goofy looking. :)
    2
  14201. If I can get my hands on one, I would definitely take some video. I think the chances of that happening are pretty slim, though.
    2
  14202. Yes, but never put into production.
    2
  14203. It was cold and I like that pullover.
    2
  14204. We had a breeze going uprange all day :)
    2
  14205. Yes.
    2
  14206. Daniel Defense
    2
  14207. Daniel Defense, IIRC
    2
  14208. Daniel Defense.
    2
  14209. No, it does not.
    2
  14210. There's also the Chambers gun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCuVMx5h1x0
    2
  14211. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCuVMx5h1x0
    2
  14212. That's coming next month; I just filmed it a couple weeks ago.
    2
  14213. No, because the spade head attached to the opposite end of the handle in a totally different way.
    2
  14214. Yes.
    2
  14215. Actually, I have not served in the military.
    2
  14216. A few weeks.
    2
  14217. In this case it's because the 805 was adopted specifically to address military requirements that changed as a result of the post-communist era pivot to NATO.
    2
  14218. I haven't had a chance to film one yet.
    2
  14219. I bought ammunition in Finland.
    2
  14220. These are exempt.
    2
  14221. No parallels; all inaccuracies. :)
    2
  14222. No, this uses standard 9x19.
    2
  14223. Yes, that was standard for Luger magazines.
    2
  14224. Wasn't seen as effective because of the small cartridge. Only at the very end of the war was that notion changing, with the Pedersen Device and a couple early submachine guns.
    2
  14225. No, they are not.
    2
  14226. Tried; Nebula is not accepting new creators.
    2
  14227. Yes, from my perspective it is. Floatplane is a content backup, but without any discovery algorithm or way for non-subscribers to see video, it will never be a source of growth or a real competitor to YouTube.
    2
  14228. I did a video on a Lahti L39.
    2
  14229. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgrVdNqfDfA
    2
  14230. Going out on a limb, but you didn't watch all the way through, did you? :)
    2
  14231. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgrVdNqfDfA
    2
  14232. The M16 made no attempt to replace the light machine gun.
    2
  14233. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/short-how-to-pronounce-garand-and-why/
    2
  14234. It wan't really a company, just a single gunsmith, Richard McCann. Unfortunately, he died a few years ago.
    2
  14235. When this was made the M14 did not exist.
    2
  14236. The rifles poster is from C&Rsenal; the Finnish one is a painting given to me by a Finnish fan.
    2
  14237. Those indicate guns that need full-length photos.
    2
  14238. It's painted.
    2
  14239. Apocrypha is uploaded direct from my phone, and Full30 does not have a functionality to do that - so no. Sorry.
    2
  14240. There will be a pre-sale, and that may be done through Kickstarter - not 100% sure yet.
    2
  14241. This was scheduled a month ago.
    2
  14242. I have a written article on ForgottenWeapons.com, but no video. (yet)
    2
  14243. Or a plate of poutine.
    2
  14244. https://youtu.be/3VQjo3MhgVw
    2
  14245. The Browning M2 operates via a short recoil mechanism.
    2
  14246. Sons of Guns and Guns Stories with Joe Mantegna
    2
  14247. For current production stuff yes, but the market in collectible guns was not impacted the same way.
    2
  14248. https://youtu.be/8qP6Q9ZEsEo
    2
  14249. Alas, there are none. I know a collector who should write that book, but he doesn't want to publish his knowledge until he finishes his collection of them.
    2
  14250. Nope, smoothbore.
    2
  14251. Whoops - yes, it does.
    2
  14252. Nope, my friend and sometimes-cameraman.
    2
  14253. I plan to shoot this a bunch and mess up the finish anyway - I would rather pay less and have it in this condition to begin with. Besides, I prefer the used look over brand new.
    2
  14254. https://youtu.be/IIe-thE3LXY
    2
  14255. No, nobody has made reproductions of these.
    2
  14256. Gangsters would have used them for the same reasons (concealability, mainly) as anyone else, I expect.
    2
  14257. Jonathan Hughes Actually, the Borchardt is also a short recoil action. It was the Luger's predecessor in a very definite way; DWM tasked Georg Luger specifically with the job of making the Borchardt pistol more efficient and marketable.
    2
  14258. I have not yet done a video on the Unica-6...
    2
  14259. In this case, I deferred to the consignor and RIA - this isn't an area where I know enough to make a reliable assessment myself.
    2
  14260. +aserta That process typically uses acid to dissolve the compressed metal under the stamp and the uncompressed metal around it at slight different rates, thus making the marking visible. It is a temporary and destructive test; not something viable for a gun like this.
    2
  14261. Ministry of Defense
    2
  14262. It is all also available for free (as reduced video quality) on Playeur.
    2
  14263. They are awesome, and I am wearing it right now while writing this comment.
    2
  14264. Bipods are far superior to magazine monopods for stabilizing a rifle.
    2
  14265. No, there was not one in the auction.
    2
  14266. This was common in the 1930s and 40s. The ZB series and BAR had the same capacity, and the Nambus, Bren, Chatellerault, and a few others had 25-30 round magazines.
    2
  14267. No, it has to have the magazine to run more than one round.
    2
  14268. It's recoil operated; doesn't have a gas system.
    2
  14269. Yes, they imported this batch of pistols.
    2
  14270. There is no similar round that would work well
    2
  14271. Not at $1.70/case.
    2
  14272. Ian McCollum, PO Box 309, Rillito AZ 85654. Thanks!
    2
  14273. Yup. Probably came from reading the comments section.
    2
  14274. Yes, and there are some really excellent dry fire aids you can buy, like MantisX.
    2
  14275. Nope.
    2
  14276. Thanks!
    2
  14277. Nope.
    2
  14278. I understand what you mean, but am not aware of any in existence.
    2
  14279. No, I don't think it's likely. The 5.7 cartridges have to be completely straight-walled to stack properly, and they also need a case lubricant to extract, since they don't have any taper. The P90 magazine design has a lot of tradeoffs built in, and I don't see other designers making the same choices.

    2
  14281. The only source I know of is Apfeltor.
    2
  14282. No, no payment taken. I like H&K and I like the MP5 and I was excited to get a first look at this.
    2
  14283. Karl and I are filming a shooting video tomorrow, actually. The gun only arrived a few days ago, and family visiting for Thanksgiving limited my opportunities to go to the range.
    2
  14284. No, because it was never converted to Imperial dimensions. The American guns were made by the same Gladiator factory that made French ones.
    2
  14285. My Vickers is actually selling in the Julia auction next month.
    2
  14286. Eventually you will. :)
    2
  14287. They moved.

    2
  14289. Which I explain at the end of the video.
    2
  14290. Watch the the end.
    2
  14291. No, watch to the end.
    2
  14292. Talk to YouTube.
    2
  14293. No.
    2
  14294. I have one right now to film, actually...
    2
  14295. Yes.
    2
  14296. Suomi.
    2
  14297. The 11.25x43 is identical to .45 ACP, just described in metric instead of inch.
    2
  14298. Blaser brass.
    2
  14299. I own this.
    2
  14300. It's filmed; no publication date scheduled yet.

  14301. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_d%27Infanterie_de_37_modèle_1916_TRP
    2
  14302. No, they are different.
    2
  14303. If/when I find one...
    2
  14304. You can contact us through Kickstarter if you have specific questions, need to change a mailing address, etc.
    2
  14305. My last update was here: https://youtu.be/qaZOuXLpH7Q
    2
  14306. ;)
    2
  14307. Competition is one of many factors.
    2
  14308. I use the new flag for guns developed after 1994.
    2
  14309. It was really too powerful for pistol action of the era, and most people didn't want different ammo for their handguns and SMGs.
    2
  14310. Got some documentation of that?
    2
  14311. No, why would they?
    2
  14312. What are your sources on that?
    2
  14313. The build was commissioned by a Canadian TV show.
    2
  14314. No, it was a total coincidence at least as far as I know.
    2
  14315. Keep in mind that the M1919A6 post-dates the Stinger.
    2
  14316. You basically prevent overheating by having a limited ammo supply. Dump a couple belts through quickly and it definitely will overheat.
    2
  14317. No. But it's not a GI helmet. :)
    2
  14318. Sorry, but no.
    2
  14319. Yes, it has a 2-groove barrel. That doesn't impede accuracy; your brother had some other problem with his setup.
    2
  14320. It's a tripod.
    2
  14321. In Valve's imagination.
    2
  14322. We have added Portugal; it should be there now
    2
  14323. Shipping from the US is expensive, but it can cover multiple books
    2
  14324. That's a good point.
    2
  14325. The Federov was intended as an automatic rifle, along the lines of the BAR and Chauchat, not so much as an LMG.
    2
  14326. For the purposes of this video, those don't matter.
    2
  14327. No, it means the rifle was rechambered for thew 1932N cartridge. I will discuss that in a later video.
    2
  14328. The full video is no more than a single click away: https://www.full30.com/video/5968e95ab5647908f5a6d7ec708ecfa8
    2
  14329. Link right at the top of the description.
    2
  14330. The rifle is authentic, but the scope and mount are reproductions.
    2
  14331. This is a model made specifically for export.
    2
  14332. Tape to seal the muzzles, to prevent mud from plugging the bores. That could cause potentially dangerous conditions.
    2
  14333. I try to keep things clean on video, but that kinda slipped out. :)
    2
  14334. It wouldn't have been nearly as fun though. :)
    2
  14335. That will be in Part II...
    2
  14336. Yes, but it takes some looking.
    2
  14337. It counts as credit in both chemistry and biology.
    2
  14338. I would love to!
    2
  14339. It's in .32 ACP (aka 7.65mm Browning)
    2
  14340. +Shawn Gates they are a bit, yes. Not sure if that's typical of the design or just a quirk of this example.
    2
  14341. BenjiMan .32 ACP
    2
  14342. It was a US concept produced by an Austrian company. I made the executive decision that the concept was more relevant than the factory, so I used the American flag. It was arbitrary and subjective. :)
    2
  14343. I have a separate video on the sling coming in a couple days.
    2
  14344. +games i'm shit at Grains are a much better unit than grams for measuring powder and bullet weight.
    2
  14345. Tomorrow.
    2
  14346. The sling setup on the Scout is not for a 3-point sling, despite having 3 attachment points. Counterintuitive I know. :)
    2
  14347. Mostly just .308, but they did also make them in 243, 223, and 376 Steyr (plus 7mm-08 for Europe).
    2
  14348. GoredonTheDestroyer In my experience and understanding, Chinese-made AK and SKS rifles are excellent.
    2
  14349. We have a book coming from headstamp on the history of the Russian Avtomat, from the Federal to the present day. It's being written by Max Popenker, who knows much more about them than I do.
    2
  14350. Email me directly at ian@headstamppublishing.com and we will get you a replacement copy.
    2
  14351. I like the hoodie too, but this is a higher quality piece of clothing.
    2
  14352. Sorry, but that's a custom piece my mother made for me.
    2
  14353. Yes, I am working on arranging it for next year.
    2
  14354. They will be back in stock in a few days.
    2
  14355. It's a gorgeous place!

    2
  14357. Yes.
    2
  14358. You can certainly enter for free; it's described in the rules, viewable at the link I provided.
    2
  14359. Oof - consolations on the AG3F2. I filmed one of them during this trip; definitely would not be my first choice. I did also have a chance to handle one of the M4 Carl Gustafs (though not film it), and that things was incredibly light and handy.
    2
  14360. Before the Holosun, a batch of Vortex Sparqs was purchased.

    2
  14362. If we hit that goal, yes.
    2
  14363. Yes - I was thinking of just self-loaders for this video.
    2
  14364. Yes.
    2
  14365. Indefinite delay due to war.
    2
  14366. Not yet - we need to finish writing it.
    2
  14367. I have completely ad-free videos available on Patreon, Utreon, and Floatplane.
    2
  14368. We have double bundles so you can do that! :)
    2
  14369. If it's something I can arrange, I will.
    2
  14370. Actually, no. It's the same gun, but the Vice footage was filmed when we did the InRange spinner video on a different day.
    2
  14371. Ian is the editor. I wear all the hats! :) Actually, I only went about 30 seconds beyond that cut, and I kinda wandered into a verbal dead end. So the cut really didn't remove anything useful.
    2
  14372. It's captive.
    2
  14373. No.
    2
  14374. Not yet.
    2
  14375. An M38.
    2
  14376. Belgium is not, but Netherlands, France, and Germany all are.
    2
  14377. Yup, I concur on all points. I would love to find a shop willing to be a distributor for us in Asia. We tried making some inquiries over the past few months, but nothing has worked out so far. I suspect it is largely because we are asking someone to make a much more significant investment in purchasing a batch of books, without being able to look at one and without having any track record of the market for them in Asia.
    2
  14378. I mean, what is a trip to Europe without a stop at Varusteleka?
    2
  14379. Yes, that is an option for both the Grey and Purple covers in the Kickstarter.
    2
  14380. Yup!
    2
  14381. Well, if there is a lot of it, I would have to ship it - US customer put a limit of 2L per person coming into the US...
    2
  14382. Arizonan. :)
    2
  14383. littlegrabbiZZ9PZA My bad; misread your post. It's an S18/1000.

  14386. Pipes.
    2
  14387. That was just a borrowed gun, which has since been returned.
    2
  14388. Yeah, the Alpini hat is stashed away an inaccessible right now.
    2
  14389. I was able to visit Cuba during the window when it was legal as an American.
    2
  14390. Machine guns are not subject to barrel length restrictions.
    2
  14391. Machine guns are not subject to barrel length restrictions
    2
  14392. Machine guns are not subject to barrel length restrictions
    2
  14393. Machine guns do not have barrel length restrictions, so the MG stamp trumps an SBR stamp.
    2
  14394. Barrel length is not restricted on machine guns.
    2
  14395. No; registered machine guns do not have barrel length restriction.
    2
  14396. Machine guns are not subject to barrel length regulations
    2
  14397. No, they are only included free with the Collector Editions.
    2
  14398. There's one in the last stage.
    2
  14399. It's a Finnish M39 bayonet.
    2
  14400. It's not a sample, it's transferrable: https://youtu.be/qmt_KRXTU40
    2
  14401. A chamber flag to show that it's empty.
    2
  14402. You can buy one from BRP. All the tubes were registered pre-86 and are transferrable, but they have not all been sold.
    2
  14403. I do what I want.
    2
  14404. munkSWE88 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hT38XH97FM
    2
  14405. I'm not Finnish...
    2
  14406. "Was that all?"
    2
  14407. Otto Noizebarriers
    2
  14408. I was wearing wool socks from Varusteleka. I have no complaints about the boots.
    2
  14409. No, they did not.
    2
  14410. No, that is incorrect.
    2
  14411. Protip: Don't have carpet in the gun room.
    2
  14412. Dead Air Wolfman
    2
  14413. Trilug QD
    2
  14414. Heavier than 150gr?
    2
  14415. Never handled one, sorry.
    2
  14416. The top rail is a single piece that attaches to both the receiver and the handguard.
    2
  14417. Better, the Fix can just use a standard Magpul 20- or 25-rounder, or a D50 if you want to be really nuts.
    2
  14418. IT would work fine. The frame does not need to move, only the slide.
    2
  14419. I don't believe there was any intent of malice, and that if Hudson had survived they would have made the improvements to the gun to solve the problems.
    2
  14420. Yes, I discuss that in some detail in the video.
    2
  14421. Hugo Borchardt has enter thé chat
    2
  14422. I’ve learned enough to know better 😆
    2
  14423. https://youtu.be/lU8puzcGOOs
    2
  14424. It's actually the exact same heavy-barrel :)
    2
  14425. Actually, the "tractor cap" was a field modification started by the Finns and copied by some Russians. Lots of Russian guns do not have it. Also, of course, those are Maxim guns and this is a Vickers. Similar, but not the same thing.
    2
  14426. .303 British.
    2
  14427. +scipio10000 It's visually a bit similar, but not mechanically.
    2
  14428. +Samuel Neese Nope, sorry.
    2
  14429. Actually, it is far from an MP38 copy. The Hotchkiss is hammer-fired from a closed bolt, which is completely different form the MP38's open bolt mechanism.
    2
  14430. I don't think there is any chance of it folding up while shooting. Don't know how reliable they are, though.
    2
  14431. That video is coming later...
    2
  14432. AK53.
    2
  14433. This was pre-2013, so it would have been (if I understand correctly) category 5.
    2
  14434. As soon as my crate arrives, absolutely.
    2
  14435. No, it was in .38ACP, not .380 Auto. The .38ACP was a hot new pistol cartridge at the time (it was also used in the Webley-Fosbery automatic revolver with moon clips). It has a 23mm long case, and will send a 130gr bullet out at between 1050 and 1100 fps. The .38 Super was developed from it later on.
    2
  14436. Thanks!
    2
  14437. They cancelled the project, that's how ;)
    2
  14438. If you'd like to do your own research, I would suggest "US M14 Rifle:The Last Steel Warrior" by Frank Iannamico and "US Rifle M14: from John Garand to the M21" by R. Blake Stevens. If you watched the video, I think you would find my assessment fair, considering the M14 was the shortest-serving standard infantry rifle in US history. On the other hand, the saying "never meet your heroes" does have some truth to it.
    2
  14439. You can usually tell.
    2
  14440. https://youtu.be/RYWkuV5FbJM
    2
  14441. No, I don't have an ambi safety in the Ballester. I just disengage the safety with my left index finger before taking a firing grip...it's a slow and definitely non-ideal solution, but I haven't gotten around to adapting an ambi safety to the gun. With most other early automatics, I carry in condition 3 (loaded mag, empty chamber) and rack the slide after drawing.
    2
  14442. RazorBeast I found it in stock as SGAmmo.com.
    2
  14443. Prvi Partisan 7.5 ammo, new production.
    2
  14444. 1791 Apparel - great folks.
    2
  14445. My trigger control needed some work - that was the biggest reason for misses. Also, while I was missing high do keep in mind that the target was moving in the vertical plane from my perspective, so it was not just an issue of zero.
    2
  14446. Standard Vickers K guns, yes - not these conversions
    2
  14447. Yes, although the SAS used them in standard aircraft configuration, not these conversions.
    2
  14448. https://youtu.be/USpjAIcdcEk
    2
  14449. Standard Vickers K guns, yes - not these conversions
    2
  14450. The SAS raiders used standard Vickers K guns on their Jeeps, but not this conversion.
    2
  14451. +Tyler Young No, but they don't have another auction until February.
    2
  14452. +The_New_IKB 4472 I haven't posted that video yet.
    2
  14453. I think it would be really neat to have a Reising with a Maxim Silencer... :)
    2
  14454. I would use some penetrating oil on the screw and give it some time to soak. It will come apart, it just will take more time than I had available for filming.
    2
  14455. Nope. It went from 20 to 12 and was then replaced by things like the M1 Carbine.
    2
  14456. Yes; they were Marines.
    2
  14457. None. There would basically never have been enough loaded magazines in one place to get it hot enough to cook off.
    2
  14458. When I use modern, proper kit I am usually in the top third. I'm quite happy with that as a guy who spends a lot more time researching and making videos than practicing at the range. :)
    2
  14459. Actually, these can be purchased by anyone with a collector's license, which isn't too difficult to get. Belgium is far better than France or England in terms of gun laws. Unfortunately, it's really hard to actually go shooting in Belgium, as there just isn't much open space to make into ranges.
    2
  14460. I don't, sorry - it wasn't something I was looking for details on at the time.
    2
  14461. Nah, 1906 Selbstladers are easier to find.
    2
  14462. I have seen three worldwide, and two were in museums.
    2
  14463. I have a whole series of videos I filmed there, actually.
    2
  14464. The publisher has it: https://gunandswordcollector.com/product/tokarev-pistols/
    2
  14465. Yeah, I realized right as I said it.
    2
  14466. Start by determining which model it is, then Google can find you lots of info. https://youtu.be/46ZP9XH8bZs
    2
  14467. ?
    2
  14468. Nothing, but lots of AKs were made without side rails.
    2
  14469. That's pretty normal, actually.
    2
  14470. Virtually all guns do that when you are able to see them in slow motion.
    2
  14471. Some are legit; some are fake.
    2
  14472. This Astra book has a couple pages on them. :)
    2
  14473. I do.
    2
  14474. No, it's just a random map of China I found for the thumbnail.
    2
  14475. .30-06
    2
  14476. Yes, we can ship up to six books for the same single rate.
    2
  14477. We will ship internationally, but it will be expensive. If pebble, I would like to get a distributor in France to reduce that cost...
    2
  14478. Initially just English, but I will definitely consider a French translation if there is enough demand. I don't anticipate it being practical to translate into any other language.
    2
  14479. There is a form on the web site.
    2
  14480. The hard part was remembering all the names, dates, and pronunciations. :)
    2
  14481. It's not true.
    2
  14482. 8mm Lebel.
    2
  14483. Running ForgottenWeapons is my full-time job.
    2
  14484. 8mm Lebel.
    2
  14485. Without actually loading it, I don't know. Since it wasn't a factory option, it was done custom and there is no documentation on it.
    2
  14486. You forgot 1876 and 1886. :)
    2
  14487. This one was smooth fitting, but not too tight - I just removed the screw and slide the plate off. If it was too tight to do that, some oil and soft taps with a polymer punch would be the next step.
    2
  14488. No, I think that by 1900 the bolt action system was clearly superior to lever actions for full power military cartridges.
    2
  14489. No - it only covers FN production guns and not copies.
    2
  14490. Should work just fine...
    2
  14491. There are a bunch of books on it, but I don't know much detail myself.
    2
  14492. +Seamus no, because it's not chambered for 8mm Lebel
    2
  14493. @666Vertigo Not that I'm aware of...they weren't exactly made in large numbers, you know.
    2
  14494. Poorly.
    2
  14495. How do you feel about the Lewis Gun?
    2
  14496. Nope.
    2
  14497. +Christian Labor I travel to RIA and Julia for filming.
    2
  14498. No, I don't have a written source - just what the rifle's owner told me. He was a pretty knowledgeable guy, and I would be willing to take his word on something like this...but it would be nice to find some documentation confirming it.
    2
  14499. +MCG55555 When I have good blooper material from a video, I include it at the end.
    2
  14500. Japanese military arms are numbered by either calendar year (not Gregorian) or year of the rein of the emperor in power at the time.
    2
  14501. Yep. The second magazine is an emergency thing, and once its empty you just swap out magazines in the front spot.
    2
  14502. I can pretty much guarantee that no video (or film) has ever been made of one of these shooting. I suspect none of them have been fired at all since about 1930.
    2
  14503. Yes, they do.
    2
  14504. End of the video. If you are on mobile, your app is nerfed and you can't see them.
    2
  14505. No, because its in Japanese and I can't read it. :(
    2
  14506. It’s simply two separate sear notches on the operating rod/piston.
    2
  14507. It's a reproduction made in the US.
    2
  14508. It's a widely-held piece of lore, but it's not true at all.
    2
  14509. It's my PO Box number from the contact address in the description. YouTube is now interpreting it as a hashtag, and I'm loath to go back and edit 500+ descriptions.
    2
  14510. Those are brass tabs to keep the belt properly aligned.
    2
  14511. Just a way to distinguish him from the competitors at the match.
    2
  14512. Those are brass spacer tabs to keep the belt properly aligned.
    2
  14513. I do - thanks!
    2
  14514. Those are brass tabs built into the belt to keep it properly aligned.
    2
  14515. Original. There are no reproduction Vickers guns.
    2
  14516. Those are brass tabs to keep the belt properly aligned.
    2
  14517. A person helping to feed the belt is not strictly necessary, but does help prevent things like the belt getting twisted.
    2
  14518. I have not; just have a range video we did at SHOT a couple years ago: https://youtu.be/QchMPzevEGU
    2
  14519. No, it's a Savage 1915.
    2
  14520. You didn't actually watch any of their content.
    2
  14521. Yeah, probably should have included that one. :)
    2
  14522. I was running from spot to spot to get my filming done in a very limited window of time. :)
    2
  14523. The bunks were for 2 or 4 men at a time, I believe.
    2
  14524. Where would they get the water?
    2
  14525. Correct.
    2
  14526. Yup.
    2
  14527. +kyle white https://www.forgottenweapons.com/how-to-become-a-professional-gun-nerd/
    2
  14528. It's a (reproduction) Gerat 06H, aka StG45.
    2
  14529. You have to show that you run a business that has a need for one.
    2
  14530. Dealer sample guns can only be owned by dealers.
    2
  14531. No, they can only be owned by dealers.
    2
  14532. I have 9 months to figure out a source...
    2
  14533. It failed to meet reserve, and didn't sell.
    2
  14534. The magazine body is polymer; it doesn't really need any sort of padding.
    2
  14535. Actually, that was when I went to visit TFBTV.
    2
  14536. Jorn Soer Got a photo of it? Because I've seen the first Stoner guns, and I know what they look like. I suspect what is in the museum is the first prototype made under license by AI.
    2
  14537. Robin Glijn Yes, it was. I was visiting him and Alex C primarily to do a video on a Pedersen rifle, which will be publishing in a few days on TFB and Full30...
    2
  14538. Nope - I am nowhere near that good.
    2
  14539. Yup. Had excellent experience with them.
    2
  14540. We do have at least one head-to-head match planned that will involve a black powder cartridge gun.
    2
  14541. No.
    2
  14542. For bayonet fighting, plus preventing heat mirage on the sights.
    2
  14543. No.
    2
  14544. It’s because the Skorpion has a very short receiver. Short bolt travel generally means a high rate of fire.
    2
  14545. Yes.
    2
  14546. It's true.
    2
  14547. German law prohibited display of the swastika back in the 50s. So go complain to them.
    2
  14548. They ran out of time and got nuked.
    2
  14549. +Ballsack Teebaghard Common belief propagated at many a gun store counter, but not actually true.
    2
  14550. No, because there is no en bloc clip.
    2
  14551. The VP70 would be terrible to try to use. Proper SMGs on the other hand... https://youtu.be/pm8T6uxS-34?t=996
    2
  14552. You certainly can, but in my experience that more often throws off your timing and you are worse off for it. In addition, chances to hit the back side of a plate usually come when it's moving very slowly or not at all, and the hits don't do as much as when you hit the front of a moving plate.
    2
  14553. From the front.
    2
  14554. Fusee spring tension adjustment. It's the same on all Maxim variants.
    2
  14555. The shield is easily detached.
    2
  14556. Hides the flash generated by the muzzle booster.
    2
  14557. My PayPal address is admin@forgottenweapons.com if you would prefer that.
    2
  14558. If you read their T&C, SubscribeStar is a really bad option. There is no viable alternative to Patreon at this time.
    2
  14559. I did, but the setup has taken a lot longer than planned. I really need to be able to devote more of my own time to it...which I will be doing in 2022.
    2
  14560. Some things can certainly be done by volunteers, but the person running the site needs to be paid.
    2
  14561. My PayPal address is admin@forgottenweapons.com - thanks!
    2
  14562. I'm considering my own web site separately form the YouTube channel. The channel is monetized, and that is a secondary but helpful part of my income, and I think people just expect ads on YouTube. The web site has a chance to really differentiate itself by being ad-free.
    2
  14563. Sorry, but not this time.
    2
  14564. +SkyWriter25 "Musket" was a holdover term used to describe a military configuration of a rifle, typically with a full-length stock out to the muzzle and with a cleaning rod and/or bayonet lug.
    2
  14565. +Richard Lathrop Yeah, I did.
    2
  14566. +Merle Morrison I think you know what I was getting at - the last of its era. There was the 1860, 66, 73, 76, 86, 92, 94, and 95.
    2
  14567. Yes, that's correct.
    2
  14568. Cameron Jenkins IMO, both pronunciations are just fine.
    2
  14569. David James Not in this current auction, but they do show up from time to time.
    2
  14570. ultimentra I find the Chinese guns more interesting.
    2
  14571. Polaritypictures Yes, they are Lugers.
    2
  14572. Yes, I did a couple years ago.
    2
  14573. You will.
    2
  14574. Nope, not yt.
    2
  14575. Yes, it is mine.
    2
  14576. It's based on the MAS-36, but uses its own larger receiver.
    2
  14577. Yes, it uses standard .308 bullets.
    2
  14578. Je ne parle pas francais...encore.
    2
  14579. Also an FR-F2.
    2
  14580. Nope. I like this arrangement, even if it's not the current Instagram hotness. ;)
    2
  14581. The M1 Carbine magazine is not very good.
    2
  14582. No, .30 Carbine is 7.62x33mm.
    2
  14583. Here's a video on the CB-51: https://youtu.be/j8ZP0z0Vccc
    2
  14584. "Full Circle" by Blake Stevens.
    2
  14585. Not presentation embellished ones like this.
    2
  14586. They are scarce, but not quite to the level of rarest guns in the world. If you watch my Dutch collection tour, you will see one in there.
    2
  14587. The magazine is mounted in the center, and the sights are offset to the left.
    2
  14588. Having the bolt disassemble out the front of the gun requires a detachable ejector, so it does make sense to put it in the magazine.
    2
  14589. It was in a private collection.
    2
  14590. The magazine is centrally mounted, and the sights are offset to the left.
    2
  14591. Nope, the mag catch is on the receiver, not the magazine itself.
    2
  14592. It belonged to a pretty advanced collector friend, who passed away about a year ago. Unfortunately his collection is going to be auctioned off, so I don't have access to the gun any longer.
    2
  14593. +Will Marsden No, the Sten is built differently.
    2
  14594. +GeckoNovice Yes, much better. They were fully interchangeable and much handier to carry than drums. They had half the capacity of the drums, but the PPS fired at about half the rate of the PPSh, so the duration of fire available from both guns per magazine was basically the same.
    2
  14595. +GeckoNovice The problems with the PPSh-41 were the rate of fire being too high and the drums being not entirely interchangeable between guns. These issues were solved with the adoption of the PPS-43 (which was also much cheaper to make).
    2
  14596. When I have another chance to shoot an Owen, I plan to do a new and expanded video.
    2
  14597. Hard to say, really
    2
  14598. The width is there to provide crush space so rough handling does not damage the book
    2
  14599. Those are anti-material rifles used for shooting at light armored vehicles, where pinpoint accuracy is not so important but armor penetration is.
    2
  14600. A good point.
    2
  14601. Those are anti-material rifles used for shooting at light armored vehicles, where pinpoint accuracy is not so important but armor penetration is.
    2
  14602. Not surprising, since these were also made by SIG...
    2
  14603. +Robert Thomas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnXecn1tqGI
    2
  14604. +patrick crosley Yes.
    2
  14605. +phileas007 I doubt it - the Swiss adopted the 1889 straight pull well before these were made.
    2
  14606. A lot of Arisakas came into Finnish possession because they were issued to Russian soldiers in Finland. Russia got them from the British circa 1915, and used them in quiet areas like Finland to free up Mosins for the front line units.
    2
  14607. It can use GI mags, and most Gen 2 Pmags work fine. When they don't it's just occasional failures to lock open when empty because of follower/holdopen tolerances.
    2
  14608. A cable lock, so the rifle doesn't walk off in the show.
    2
  14609. Only a few countries still do that.
    2
  14610. The correct version of something per Dragon Man is not the correct anything.
    2
  14611. Yes - saguaro cacti.
    2
  14612. The room is secured.
    2
  14613. Howa 180
    2
  14614. Yes.
    2
  14615. I think 1500 is a good price for a 5.56mm one. They bring substantially more in 7.62x39.
    2
  14616. I like to live dangerously.
    2
  14617. No, that's a No2MkI Enfield.

  14618. The Imperial mark is a chrysanthemum flower on the receiver, and yes but of these have that marking intact.
    2
  14619. Once the auction is over and the all prices posted, I'll have a brief followup video listing what each of these video'd items sold for.
    2
  14620. Clearly I am not a lepidopterist. :) I was thinking biologist, but botanist came out of my mouth.
    2
  14621. https://youtu.be/nMOnXaTbh_U
    2
  14622. The Tirmax, for one. That video is coming later. :)

    2
  14625. It might have been a semiauto - there are some folks making semi MG-42s for about that price.
    2
  14626. The weight of the reciprocating parts (bolt and bolt carrier) is really high (relative to other gun designs) and they're moving a fairly long distance, so it takes a long time for each shot to cycle.
    2
  14627. It does have overheating issues. After 200-300 rounds of rapid fire, the bolt assembly will have heated up and expanded enough to stick in the receiver tube until it cools down.
    2
  14628. Any chance you could send me a scan or copy of the photo? MY email address is admin at forgottenweapons...
    2
  14629. Couldn't have said it better myself. FWIW, one day I will get myself a Chauchat, and practice a bunch with it so I can beat BAR shooters in practical/tactical courses of fire. :)
    2
  14630. Long recoil, actually - one of a fairly small number of production guns to do so.
    2
  14631. It can be switched from left to right ejection in about 60 seconds.
    2
  14632. Modern French desert camo.
    2
  14633. https://shop.forgottenweapons.com/collections/shop-all/products/new-forgotten-weapons-logo-patch
    2
  14634. Steel and brass both work.
    2
  14635. The slow motion was filmed separately from the regular video, and I had it in unlimited auto for the slow motion.
    2
  14636. That video is coming... ;)
    2
  14637. Thanks! Here's the G2: https://youtu.be/sDDrB_1Sjuo
    2
  14638. Oui, j'apprends français...mais très lentement.
    2
  14639. North of Helsinki
    2
  14640. I just turned 40 this summer.
    2
  14641. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-tst-cp10-mini-combat-pack-w-flat-shoulder-straps/75035
    2
  14642. More than a few...
    2
  14643. That would have been a lot easier, as it would have ended a lot sooner :)
    2
  14644. Always!
    2
  14645. https://youtu.be/_hvgZ3qxzbw
    2
  14646. I did, and it was fantastic.
    2
  14647. Yep, we did make one. I still need to edit it together, though.
    2
  14648. Yes, it would work fine that way.
    2
  14649. https://youtu.be/gJp7a_muHs0
    2
  14650. The PM-63 is terrible.
    2
  14651. https://youtu.be/QchMPzevEGU
    2
  14652. In this case, I just ordered it off the shelf from Palmetto State Armory. :) http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/ammunition/handgun-ammunition/8mm-rast-gasser.html
    2
  14653. I'm not clear on the details, but at least some of the 1870 Gasser revolvers used the same 11.2x36mm cartridge as the Fruhwirth carbine. That carbine was meant for police and guard type duty, though, and it's cartridge was deliberately made lighter than a proper military rifle round.
    2
  14654. I've never tried this myself, but here's a place to start: http://hlebooks.com/pinfire/pin01.htm
    2
  14655. No, none of them are.
    2
  14656. The shooting video publishes tomorrow.
    2
  14657. No, that would be the Curtis: https://youtu.be/HcIG5OqQjlw
    2
  14658. It wasn't.
    2
  14659. +George No, I don't think so. If someone did make a reproduction, it would be in a caliber similar to the original 280. Perhaps 7mm-08? Probably a moot point, as I would be pretty surprised to see anyone make any reproduction of the EM2 at all.
    2
  14660. Because I'm the one running the camera in those scenes, and someone else is shooting. :)
    2
  14661. No, these were not deployed to Ireland or any other combat zone.
    2
  14662. It has not been made in many decades.
    2
  14663. Two lugs on the barrel. It uses a socket-type bayonet like the No4 Enfield.
    2
  14664. No glitch; I wanted to make a better video on it.
    2
  14665. Thanks!
    2
  14666. Yes, it will.
    2
  14667. My mother made it for me.
    2
  14668. You can't - my mother made it for me.
    2
  14669. They are waiving the tax for registering braced pistols.
    2
  14670. No.
    2
  14671. No, completely unrelated.
    2
  14672. Thanks!
    2
  14673. It is being auctioned off in about 2 weeks.
    2
  14674. His gun was never manufactured.
    2
  14675. https://youtu.be/rCIoNzuO7a8
    2
  14676. It didn't occur to me until I was editing the video together, and then I felt like a moron. :)
    2
  14677. Yup. But I didn't think of that at the time.
    2
  14678. I used a Tortort receiver and an Israeli ARM kit, with R5 sights bought in South Africa. It's not a perfect copy, but close enough.
    2
  14679. It sounds like the noise you make involuntarily when someone hands you one.
    2
  14680. Thanks!
    2
  14681. Nothing directly, but they are a strong predictor of problems elsewhere.
    2
  14682. Nothing directly, but they are a strong predictor of problems elsewhere.
    2
  14683. Nothing, really, but they are a strong predictor of problems elsewhere.
    2
  14684. +Eric Walla Yep.
    2
  14685. +Jon H Yes, that's correct. The alteration to the safety and the change in grip panels were both very simple and required no change to the frame.
    2
  14686. The Browning was really a better gun - I will cover this more in my upcoming video on the .45 Savages
    2
  14687. Yes
    2
  14688. It would if a bunch of us are wearing it in a group...
    2
  14689. No fee, just come on in.
    2
  14690. No, but the MG15 was, and it was basically a magazine-fed version of the same gun.
    2
  14691. When using a large pistol in this match, you are only allowed to start with 5 rounds, since it’s meant for small backup guns.
    2
  14692. Grayman & Co
    2
  14693. Rule #1!
    2
  14694. Correct.
    2
  14695. It's coming in about 2 weeks, actually.
    2
  14696. It is not a safety, it is a fixed stud - I'm not sure of its purpose. Possibly for mounting a shoulder stock that was never produced?
    2
  14697. A million bazillion dollars. It's owned by the Cody Museum, and not for sale.
    2
  14698. Lighter and slower bolt, yes.
    2
  14699. Got 4 different ones scheduled up for next week. If you've heard of all of them, I will personally refund your money.
    2
  14700. Correct. This one is a registered SBR.
    2
  14701. The 19s are shorter, and will not fit in the grip of a Glock 17 pistol.
    2
  14702. No. :(
    2
  14703. They should, but I haven't tried one.
    2
  14704. It's set up for a lefty, which means on the right - I was just thinking about the left-handed utility.
    2
  14705. Nope.
    2
  14706. Danner hiking boots.
    2
  14707. Yes, you had to choose before the timer started.
    2
  14708. Not yet - we are still waiting for the paper to print it on.
    2
  14709. I have never been to Russia. I have done some filming in Sweden, but not at a museum there.
    2
  14710. I have a pair of videos on the EM2 next week, so you will be able to see...
    2
  14711. They wanted to get as much velocity as possible out of the cartridge as part of the effort to have it accepted by NATO over the T65/7.62x51.
    2
  14712. Tough call - but I actually filmed this a couple days before I started messing with the AN94.
    2
  14713. That's the standard tangent sight. By stocked pistol standard it's conservative; most of the C96s had 1000-m sights.
    2
  14714. They are NFA exempt because someone specifically petitioned for them to be exempt, and ATF agreed. It has nothing to do with manufacturing status.
    2
  14715. I have seen some accounts of DIY cartridges, but most Volcanic owners are not particularly interested in risking damage to the guns by shooting them.
    2
  14716. Planning to, but the opportunity has not presented itself yet.
    2
  14717. Yep - I'm really excited about the new possibilities!
    2
  14718. I would yes, absolutely. I consider the M1 Carbine a PDW too.
    2
  14719. Colombia
    2
  14720. Bogota
    2
  14721. Me too!
    2
  14722. Yes, I did see them - pretty cool!
    2
  14723. Yes, it is.
    2
  14724. Yes.
    2
  14725. 7.62x54R
    2
  14726. greg Bilotta Slow motion will come if and when I find someone who owns one that they are willing to shoot.
    2
  14727. I have that video filmed; just haven't published it yet. :)
    2
  14728. Edward Ross I do have a really good article on them as a guest post on my web site: http://www.forgottenweapons.com/anti-tank-riflescannon/japanese-type-97/
    2
  14729. Pitt Brad Some day...
    2
  14730. Yeah, I realized that after I had finished editing the video. Oops!
    2
  14731. The change in transfer times is huge for anyone who wants suppressor or SBR/SBS.
    2
  14732. In the video, I describe how I looked at a similar - but different - pair several years ago.
    2
  14733. Wonderful!
    2
  14734. A 1914 model Madsen
    2
  14735. Those were training aids made by the US military.
    2
  14736. Ack, sorry! I meant to copy the video link and YouTube gave me the link to the ad it ran. I just fixed it.
    2
  14737. Yeah, stage 1 prone was a bit tricky - although that was partly being left handed and partly because the optic was high enough that I had some trouble getting a good sight picture on the last target,
    2
  14738. I do understand the role of the ZF-41. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oNTKnYMfI8
    2
  14739. We're not of equal skill - Karl is significantly better than I am - so if one gun offers an advantage I usually take it to balance things out a bit. Beyond that, it's just personal preference. Note that I made him lug the BAR through our FG42/BAR match... :)
    2
  14740. What actually happened there is that the chalk part disintegrated right at the muzzle, and the base of the projectile went high (like a shotgun wad).
    2
  14741. Occluded Eye Gunsight
    2
  14742. Finnish M04 desert.
    2
  14743. Yup, it does. The US Son Tay prison raid used carbines with this style of sight in the 60s.
    2
  14744. Poor QC on the chalk round, or it was cracked in transit/handling somewhere.
    2
  14745. Not hot at all.
    2
  14746. No, that's Finnish M04 Desert camo.
    2
  14747. I deliberately overexpose it a bit to get better detail of the gun.
    2
  14748. Sounds good to me!
    2
  14749. No, they are less potent than the Mk19 ones.
    2
  14750. +Mattebubben Yes, the helmet is much thicker than the chest armor.
    2
  14751. Yup, it definitely needed more light. It was filmed 7 years ago, with a much older camera than I currently have.
    2
  14752. Yes.
    2
  14753. Except that what they adopted instead (the M60) was directly based on another different German gun.
    2
  14754. The M60 is not based on the MG42.
    2
  14755. I have all 5, yes. They are largely reference books, and I would say they all stand alone unless you need the overlapping information.
    2
  14756. Then you can certainly use Utreon or Floatplane...
    2
  14757. Yes.
    2
  14758. The subtitled are generously provided by a viewer, and typically trail publication by a day or two.
    2
  14759. No, different one.
    2
  14760. Not really.
    2
  14761. I've been doing collaborations with Jonathan since 2012. :)
    2
  14762. The cartridge may have been heavily taken from the wz.35, but the guns themselves bear almost no similarities.
    2
  14763. Exploatores No, not since 1945.
    2
  14764. If you shoot it left handed the bolt handle will hit you in the face.
    2
  14765. The No4 Lee was designed in the 30s. Nobody involved in that was still there in the 70s.
    2
  14766. Yes, it publishes on the 24th.
    2
  14767. They get to shoot right-handed.
    2
  14768. Short answer, no - it's not possible.
    2
  14769. Seemed excellent, but I don't have nearly enough time with one to make any sort of educated assessment.
    2
  14770. It has been sneakily viewable although unpublished.
    2
  14771. No, it never entered production. Just a prototype.
    2
  14772. Technically, yes. The owner is the Beretta company, and this was filmed in the reference collection/museum in Brescia.
    2
  14773. My mother made it for me.
    2
  14774. I did shoot this match a second time, with my custom P365 - and took 6th with that run.
    2
  14775. Daewoo DP51
    2
  14776. Irish Army. :)
    2
  14777. Go to 3:06.
    2
  14778. The FAMAS can be configured for left- or right-handed shooting without any extra parts.
    2
  14779. My own experience says otherwise.
    2
  14780. I never joined the military or served it in any capacity.
    2
  14781. +Jonathan Nazari You mean from the comments? I don't hate the AK by any means.
    2
  14782. InRange has higher standards for commenters than I do here.
    2
  14783. +Cold Weather Survivor Probably skepticism.
    2
  14784. +RyeOnHam I just finished editing the next one; it's 48 minutes long. Will publish on Wednesday the 13th (the 11th on Full30).
    2
  14785. +Felix Freidrick Archery I just happen to have more of it than anything else.
    2
  14786. +Corey Udelhofen I'm not using a suppressor or a really short barrel, so I'll pass.
    2
  14787. Once mud gets in, you're screwed with either gun.
    2
  14788. +Bob Reznov I own way more AKs than I do ARs.
    2
  14789. +David M. AR-15. If they can figure out how to run Maxims, 1907 St Etiennes, BARs, Chauchats, and Lewis guns, they can figure our ARs.
    2
  14790. +loahnuh It's an M1913 US cavalry saber, the last saber adopted by the US military. It was actually designed by George Patton, when he was a young cavalry officer and Olympic fencer, and I found that historical detail compelling enough that I found one to buy.
    2
  14791. They did: https://youtu.be/lHuNo2XU57g
    2
  14792. Thanks!
    2
  14793. Really no way to know at this point, unfortunately.
    2
  14794. We have a GB video at home: https://youtu.be/li9WbNKCwZM
    2
  14795. Factory option.
    2
  14796. The rim of a cartridge would probably work just fine to open it.
    2
  14797. It's all automated. YouTube never talks to anyone.
    2
  14798. YouTube policies.
    2
  14799. Yes, that's a perk for $3 Patrons.
    2
  14800. A few were imported by PTR - we did a video on them.
    2
  14801. The one I shot was in 8mm, but SMG makes them in both calibers (.308 guns use M1A magazines).
    2
  14802. I believe it is a modified MAS36 bayonet, but I'm not 100% sure.
    2
  14803. You mean the first variant with the steeply-raked-back grip? They don't make that version at this time (it also has a bunch of other differences from the more refined second variant).
    2
  14804. Gahlok12 There were models from A all the way through, but the two mass-produced ones were the E and G.
    2
  14805. $5000
    2
  14806. They are too expensive to make, and the market for them isn't big enough.
    2
  14807. +Ben M I am left-handed, and it's fine.
    2
  14808. Yep, they are working on the first model repros right now.
    2
  14809. Good point - I didn't think about the case head similarity between 6.5 and 8x63!
    2
  14810. Forgotten Weapons is not demonetized; only InRange.
    2
  14811. Realistically? No.
    2
  14812. +bobbzor Yup.
    2
  14813. +David Stegman That was not a significant problem with the Lebel, because of the taper of the case and the groove in the case head.
    2
  14814. +Simon Stoll Eventually, yes
    2
  14815. +Trenton Bushnell I check everything repeatedly before the camera even turns on.
    2
  14816. They disabled the ejectors to prolong case life.
    2
  14817. They disabled the ejectors to prolong case life.
    2
  14818. No, they did it to prevent damage to the brass.
    2
  14819. The ejector has been disabled to keep the shell casings from being damaged, because it's a lot harder for the owner today to get shells than it was for the Soviet Army.
    2
  14820. They disabled the ejectors to prolong case life.
    2
  14821. They disabled the ejectors to prolong case life.
    2
  14822. They disabled the ejectors to prolong case life.
    2
  14823. Spartac
    2
  14824. Croatian.
    2
  14825. It's attached to the barrel, and recoils backward.
    2
  14826. 9mm Parabellum and 9mm Luger are the exact same thing.
    2
  14827. I am just an enthusiast, and am not an employee of any company. I do consulting work, but not actual employment.
    2
  14828. YouTube rules say no. Go to the link to ForgottenWeapons in the description, and there is a link there.
    2
  14829. The pan covers just need ye olde Punisher skulls on them. :)

    2
  14831. https://youtu.be/58ij_tjb0YY
    2
  14832. I have ordered from them several times, and there are not duties or anything else. I have sometimes had delays in customs, but only about one in 3 times or so.
    2
  14833. Too experimental and not widely enough known.
    2
  14834. Pedersen.
    2
  14835. Because there wasn't a place for the spring to extend back in line with the bolt's direction of travel.
    2
  14836. Yes, I've done a bunch there.
    2
  14837. I've never really gotten into cachaca, but not for any specific reason. What I've tried, I liked - caipirinhas are very nice drinks!
    2
  14838. No, but it was just recently recommended to me...
    2
  14839. They are not legally considered machine guns.
    2
  14840. +jeff4952 Probably (I don't recall exactly).
    2
  14841. celestialfix The M&H is on my list to do...
    2
  14842. Because it's a high-quality book printed in the US.
    2
  14843. No, we will have signed books available for regular sale. Thanks!
    2
  14844. It's not for sale.
    2
  14845. Thanks!

    2
  14851. +Anglo Spanish Racing Yes, I actually met him at a museum several years ago.
    2
  14852. theoroinvictus Star 30M
    2
  14853. It's really not.
    2
  14854. Given the choice (and having shot both), I would also prefer an NTW-20 over a Barrett.

  14866. There's no significant difference in trigger feel.

  14869. It actually did, much to my surprise. The loafers did not, though - the soles started coming off.
    2
  14870. There were three divisions: Iron Sight, Armored, and Open.
    2
  14871. There were a couple military and LEO folks, but it was mostly civilian shooters.
    2
  14872. Otto Noizebarriers
    2
  14873. No, I did not. I said the French Army decided to issue steel case, but not that it's required for the rifle to run.
    2
  14874. There were three equipment divisions - Irons, Armored, and Open. Open was basically everyone with optics but no body armor.
    2
  14875. More than a few did...BM59, SIG 540, SIG 550, some G3s, some HK33s, some FALs, some AR-10s
    2
  14876. Congo is complicated - really, really complicated. The movie only shows the Irish point of view, but there were valid reasons to support Katangan independence.
    2
  14877. The two differences were that the M2 had an optic, and it is a closed-bolt action.
    2
  14878. Thanks for the comment! It's really cool to have some firsthand information from the production :)
    2
  14879. The No4 Enfield has a slightly longer barrel than the Bren; the difference it pretty minor but the Enfield will give more velocity than the Bren.
    2
  14880. No, not yet.
    2
  14881. No, it's not.
    2
  14882. A competition for homemade guns.
    2
  14883. Yes, the FG was developed from the Lewis. The bolt and gas system are basically the same.
    2
  14884. The bolt and gas systems are basically the same.
    2
  14885. Very comfortable.
    2
  14886. I have articles on both of those over at ForgottenWeapons.com.
    2
  14887. I haven't filmed a full-length piece on this one, but I will be.
    2
  14888. Alexander Inghram Typically $600-$800
    2
  14889. Yes.
    2
  14890. I think a big part of it was the practicality of carrying ammo. It's much easier to carry box mags or feed strips than belted ammunition, or at least it was at that time.
    2
  14891. https://auctions.morphyauctions.com/_C__RARE_LUFTWAFFE_1939_STEYR_660_CODE_G_29_O__BOL-LOT624074.aspx
    2
  14892. Yep, I will definitely be running a match with one of the new VG1-5s when they're ready.
    2
  14893. Yup, standard AK mags.
    2
  14894. No changes; I accidentally posted it prematurely

    2
  14900. Glad you're enjoying them!
    2
  14901. YouTube sets the ads, I have no say in their content.
    2
  14902. I know he did.
    2
  14903. There are plenty of fully automatic AR15s.
    2
  14904. The SKS is just a semiauto military rifle or carbine (depending on how you define "carbine", which is another whole rabbit warren...)
    2
  14905. Not meant to be fired from the shoulder, and not chambered for a full-power rifle round - it's chambered for an anti-material round. Not a battle rifle.
    2
  14906. Yes.
    2
  14907. Yes.
    2
  14908. Of all the issues in the Falklands War, I think the full-auto option on the Argentine FALs was pretty much irrelevant. It almost certainly didn't help the Argentines, but I doubt it had any truly significant negative impact on their performance.
    2
  14909. The original, pre-military-contract AR-15 was available either in semiauto only or selective fire models.
    2
  14910. Well, have I got some great videos for you to watch then!
    2
  14911. Ljungman in 6.5x55mm doesn't qualify?
    2
  14912. https://youtu.be/RYWkuV5FbJM
    2
  14913. The BAR as originally designed and used didn't have a bipod - it was intended for fire from the hip. That's a weird outlier.
    2
  14914. This sort of thing: https://www.browning.com/products/firearms/rifles/bar.html
    2
  14915. Riggs, in Missouri. It's shipping out today, and I'm posting his photo this afternoon.
    2
  14916. Forgotten Weapons has never been demonetized; only InRange. YouTube has ramped up their ads recently, which I only have partial control over.

  14936. They don't allow porn anymore, so what's the point?
    2
  14937. Just want to say that I read this, and I appreciate the input!
    2
  14938. FYI, I do also use Floatplane, which is completely independent of both Patreon and YouTube.
    2
  14939. I do post all the Q&A videos as audio only, for the $3 Patrons.
    2
  14940. +thni1703 I said rimmed cartridges, as opposed to rimless.
    2
  14941. I don't disagree.
    2
  14942. They use magnets to detect armor-piercing ammo, which can really damage backstops. ammo with mild steel jackets isn't a problem, but its very hard for a range to differentiate it from AP easily so they just prohibit anything magnetic.
    2
  14943. Berdan
    2
  14944. Sorry - they changed the name of the factory when he was overthrown, which I didn't mention. The head stamp characters changed as well, which I didn't realize because I can't actually read them myself.
    2
  14945. Yes.
    2
  14946. Next week.
    2
  14947. I will cover that next week.
    2
  14948. It creates a slightly longer delay before the bolt starts moving and also less time under pressure, reducing bolt velocity.
    2
  14949. Thanks!
    2
  14950. I will cover that next week...
    2
  14951. We will discuss that next week...
    2
  14952. They did not, actually, because both countries found that writing with a pencil in space caused little shards of (conductive) graphite to shear off the pencil tip, float around the spacecraft, and potentially cause electrical problems.
    2
  14953. No, it is substantially different because it has to eject cases while cycling.
    2
  14954. The factory built it that way for sale to organizations that don't want or can't have live rifles. Like this British museum.
    2
  14955. No, it does not.
    2
  14956. .30-06
    2
  14957. Got one in the works already...I'm going to blow it up. :)
    2
  14958. Yes, I am. It's so we can get good views of both sides of the gun while firing.
    2
  14959. The Madsen was the last bolt action design, not necessarily the last actual guns made.
    2
  14960. +Poet 628 Last one designed, not the last one manufactured.
    2
  14961. Those were older existing guns rebuilt to new specs, not brand new guns.
    2
  14962. You didn't see him when we let him loose driving the Nasu...
    2
  14963. Hold my vodka!
    2
  14964. I can, just out of practice...
    2
  14965. Pornainen, in February.
    2
  14966. It's an underground room that belongs to a friend. The shooting tunnel is a piece of smokestack pipe (IIRC) that was laid down in a long trench and then backfilled. It's pretty loud in there, but it makes a good test-firing range and it not recognizable as gunfire from outside.
    2
  14967. Yes, it does.
    2
  14968. Hope your flight went smoothly! ;)
    2
  14969. When I find one...
    2
  14970. Just FYI, all Patrons get completely ad-free videos.
    2
  14971. Pima Pistol Club.
    2
  14972. That is filmed, but doesn't have a publishing date yet. Two videos, actually - one on the MkI and one on the MkII.
    2
  14973. https://beckettsstore.com/products/byreman-chunky-knit-shawl-collar-sweater-with-harris-tweed-patches-1
    2
  14974. Yes, they were made, for both the AKM and AK74. But I don't know how widely they were actually used.
    2
  14975. camerl2009 Both rimmed and rimless rounds were used. IIRC, a number of them were bough in South America chambered in 7x57.
    2
  14976. All design choice are compromises.
    2
  14977. From a viewer in the Legion.
    2
  14978. https://youtu.be/7r49h0iBO9g
    2
  14979. Yes, there is a semiauto disconnector.
    2
  14980. Haven't filmed it yet.
    2
  14981. It expired in 2004.
    2
  14982. That video is coming later.
    2
  14983. Je parle un petit français...mais j'apprend plus toujours!
    2
  14984. +Edmond Kwan The downside is that you need some additional mechanical thing to hold the rounds in the magazine, like the big flat spring on the side of the Madsen mags. You'll see the same thing on Johnson LMG magazines. However, that retention spring does re-engage when you pull a partially loaded mag out of the gun, and it doesn't dump any ammo.
    2
  14985. +evan wain The recoil spring is in the buttstock - I didn't take it out.
    2
  14986. +medford briggs Nope, not yet.
    2
  14987. If I was in the military I wouldn't get to do any of this.
    2
  14988. No, the magazine is held quite securely.
    2
  14989. https://youtu.be/M637KpEP1_E
    2
  14990. Different ammo than the M1 Carbine.
    2
  14991. The auction doesn't happen for about 3 weeks.
    2
  14992. Prototypes only.
    2
  14993. My best guess would be that about 200 of them still exist.
    2
  14994. Originals (there are no reproductions).
    2
  14995. "Rock or something"
    2
  14996. The WW1 uniform was not meant to be tucked in.
    2
  14997. Nope.
    2
  14998. It doesn't; it's a 7.62mm pistol cartridge.
    2
  14999. No.
    2
  15000. That's one of the stretch goals... ;)
    2
  15001. Sorry - if it helps, we can ship up to 6 copies for a single shipping charge. If you have one or two people you know who are interested, the shipping splits out nicely.
    2
  15002. Once the books arrive from the printer in a few months, we will have individual extras available at HeadstampPublishing.com
    2
  15003. It's the exact same height as our other books, but wider to better fit big photos of pistols. It fit right in with Chassepot and Thorneycroft on a shelf.
    2
  15004. You can grab a copy of Ferguson's book as an add-on to a pledge for a copy of this book... :)
    2
  15005. It has not come up, but we are predisposed to be very liberal in allowing that sort of thing.
    2
  15006. After you make a pledge, Kickstarter gives you a list of add-ons to choose from.
    2
  15007. Yes! We ship worldwide.
    2
  15008. Sorry - if it helps, we can ship up to 6 copies for a single shipping charge. If you have one or two people you know who are interested, the shipping splits out nicely.
    2
  15009. Handled one, but not shot it.
    2
  15010. *lever.
    2
  15011. By many peoples' standard, no - we don't. But this video was filmed a while back.
    2
  15012. No idea - I didn't try shooting for a group.
    2
  15013. Yes, that is true. We could be better with a single gun if we practiced with something exclusively.
    2
  15014. That's a Grayman & Co feature; an elasticized gap in the shoulder to allow full range of motion in a fitted jacket.
    2
  15015. Yup, took 4th overall the next month with it. https://youtu.be/Y1AgCeCwk1c
    2

    2
  15017. +James Chalmers YOU MUST HAVE MISSED IT WHEN I POSTED IT. HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VKGhqIl4Gw
    2
  15018. It's actually a 7.62x39 M14, with a 5.45 magazine in it.
    2
  15019. The M11A1 this is built on was registered prior to 1986.
    2
  15020. Change in schedule after I finished filming :)
    2
  15021. Otto Noizebarriers
    2
  15022. Nope. Today is the last of this batch of Rock Island videos, and then I will go back to my regular schedule (which is one regular video, one slow motion, and one InRange per week).
    2
  15023. Patreon is more direct support, because the money doesn't have to play for a product to be manufactured.
    2
  15024. I got it from IMA.
    2
  15025. Yeah, I realized that after the video published. :)
    2
  15026. Via San Francisco and Fiji
    2
  15027. At some of the sites on Guadalcanal (like Bloody Ridge) cartridge cases and other war debris are still readily visible on the ground without any need for a metal detector.
    2
  15028. Just because it's illegal doesn't mean people won't try it and get away with it.
    2
  15029. Almost certainly all new, handmade parts.
    2
  15030. +VxNemesis No, the 7.65mm and 9mm Lugers are identical in size, other than the bore diameter.
    2
  15031. +keith moore Not many people buying expensive things in 1929 Germany...
    2
  15032. Something like $50-$150. They aren't very interesting to most collectors.
    2
  15033. +Guds777 No.
    2
  15034. Not really - it's an ongoing issue as more Soviet documentation is dug up by researchers in Russia.
    2
  15035. I made a few small but important corrections to dating and nomenclature.
    2
  15036. They are; AEA Arms has them.
    2
  15037. (1) it's an edited video, I'm not going to include extraneous chamber checking on the finished product and (2) it's pointed in a safe direction on a hot range then entire time.
    2
  15038. I didn't even realize it had happened until I started editing the footage.
    2
  15039. Much increased chance of ND'ing when you reload. I've seen it myself twice.
    2
  15040. Probably, but the BAD lever is a bad idea.
    2
  15041. They are available right now from AEA Arms.
    2
  15042. AEA Arms has them.
    2
  15043. AEA Arms has them in the US.
    2
  15044. AEA Arms has them in a variety of configurations.
    2
  15045. AEA Arms has them in the US.
    2
  15046. AEA Arms has them in the US
    2
  15047. It already is, through AEA Arms.
    2
  15048. The table was very squeaky.
    2
  15049. The book is written, and fortunately there is no engineering development required for bookbinding at this point. :)
    2
  15050. When the AK was adopted, the RPD was the light machine gun. I would consider the RPK to be distinct from the AKM for purposes of this question.
    2
  15051. The breech would recoil much too fast and damage the gun.
    2
  15052. None, they are aircraft armament.
    2
  15053. No, different names for the same thing.
    2
  15054. That's the next video in this series...
    2
  15055. That's not really true. The Vickers is an improved development of the Maxim gun, done after Maxim's patents had expired.
    2
  15056. That's part of a substantial side project I'm working on that will hopefully be completed this year.
    2
  15057. Depends on the army.
    2
  15058. It isn't published; side project I hope to finish in 2018.
    2
  15059. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dZLeEUE940
    2
  15060. That, or full magazine and empty chamber. Could also be carrier with a round chambered, hammer cocked, and safety on.
    2
  15061. +whitesites I cover that (and more) in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgOicEVA4u8
    2
  15062. That was Karl and I, with InRangeTV.
    2
  15063. I like Floatplane, but they do not have a way for people to watch for free and that really limits how many people will move form a free platform like YouTube. It also means that there is basically no cross-channel growth on the site.
    2
  15064. I will continue to use Floatplane as well.
    2
  15065. That sucks - you should consider posting it on Utreon. You have some really good material.
    2
  15066. It is now - I forgot to set the publication date (the perils of posting on multiple platforms). Sorry!
    2
  15067. It's impossible to abide by rules that aren't published and change regularly without notice. YouTube is not a good faith partner.
    2
  15068. Not here in 'Murica it ain't!
    2
  15069. I used the same microphone, but the room I had available to film in was small and echo-y.
    2
  15070. To be fair, the designers of the Carbon-15 were not concerned with fragility.
    2
  15071. Yeah, hence my note in the description text.
    2
  15072. You can buy a WWSD from Brownells right now for literally less than the MSRP of all its parts put together.
    2
  15073. Rio Salado
    2
  15074. I would say 3.
    2
  15075. Quality material and European manufacture cost money.
    2
  15076. Cplblue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-2iy81k9DM
    2
  15077. Jesse Sisolack Indeed.
    2
  15078. Wax Pragmatic I share your opinion about shooting guns I own. I'd shoot this one if I could afford to buy it. :)
    2
  15079. https://youtu.be/E6LrYNZOBHk
    2
  15080. The US has a blanket ban on importation of Norinco rifles, put in place for political reasons.
    2
  15081. Canada.
    2
  15082. Our importation ban is on all Norinco rifles, regardless of the immediate country of import.
    2
  15083. 我的理解是中国军队用QBZ 03迅速取代QBZ 95，这是一种更好的步枪。 （对不起语法;用谷歌翻译写的）
    2
  15084. BitChute is too much extra work for a minuscule number of viewers. I post everything to YouTube, Full30, Facebook, and Gunstreamer. I suggest one of them if you want an alternative to YouTube.
    2
  15085. I really don't know what you mean.
    2
  15086. You will :)
    2
  15087. The Patton Excuse? :) Yes, possible, but generally not an actual issue.
    2
  15088. It was a limited release form Varusteleka. The shirts are gone, but a few pants remain: https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/forgotten-weapons-l4-field-pants-ianpat/77418
    2
  15089. We had a number of Range Officers from Moons Out Goons Out who were able to come to Lynx this year and basically fill a complete squad. We kept referring to them as Team America, so I made a Team America patch for everyone. :)
    2
  15090. I did, with Ziga - it posts Sunday.
    2
  15091. Yes, an M38 short rifle.
    2
  15092. Not that I am aware of.
    2
  15093. No.
    2
  15094. A few were converted to 8mm for the Volkssturm; the vast majority were converted commercial for sale to the Middle East in the 1950s.
    2
  15095. No, standard rifling.
    2
  15096. Steinel makes it in both calibers.

  15100. No. Mauser was able to buy an almost complete technical package (drawing, tooling, test fixtures, etc) from the Swiss when they reintroduced the Luger, and was still a horrifically expensive project that fell flat.
    2
  15101. Never handled a PKP...
    2
  15102. I would love to - hopefully some day!
    2
  15103. In the right orientation, it could certainly go off.
    2
  15104. Nintendiano I'm not sure what it is, but I've seen it on a couple Jarre pistols.
    2
  15105. No, we went over there to see it, among other things.
    2
  15106. Yes, towards the end.
    2
  15107. I tried both flat and curved MSHs, and found that I prefer the curved.
    2
  15108. You can single-load cartridges, but you need the clip to hold more than one at a time.
    2
  15109. Yes, we have one in our reference collection.
    2
  15110. +Antique Arms Review No they aren't; I see them come up fairly regularly. Going price is $250-$300, at least here in the US.
    2
  15111. +commissarpistols I can't speak for other brands, but Prvi Partisan is safe to use in N and non-N marked guns; it pretty much duplicates the WWI loading of 8mm Lebel.
    2
  15112. Yes, all stainless.

  15113. Myth and Reality of the Ross MkIII Rifle
    2
  15114. Unfortunately, I don't have any video on them; just a couple photos.
    2
  15115. We have firing footage over on InRangeTV...
    2
  15116. Yep, you are correct. I didn't realize until I went back to edit the video that I kept calling them locking lugs instead of cams.
    2
  15117. My pleasure - hope I didn't get anything wrong! :)
    2
  15118. That is a Darne machine gun.
    2
  15119. Tastes change over time. Just look at the Tiffany Colts from the late 1800s...
    2
  15120. I will definitely be reviewing my own book. ;)
    2
  15121. 'Murica.
    2
  15122. Patton believed in reincarnation. If he was right, he's a soldier today, using an M4 carbine.
    2
  15123. It could use a better safety catch, although that's a minor issue. A modern rail on top of the receiver would be a necessity, in place of the proprietary ZF-4 mounting points. Going to a polymer stock wouldn't actually cut much weight - the stock is mostly hollow to accommodate the recoil buffer system.
    2
  15124. Sorry. :)
    2
  15125. A little - but it's not significant at close range.
    2
  15126. Yes, it is a crippling disability of mine... :)
    2
  15127. MrSven3000 Actually, all three of those statements are wrong. It's easy to eject a partial clip, easy to load a partial clip, and the ping when an empty clip ejects has no negative effects.
    2
  15128. In addition to the K98k, the M1 will wipe the floor with an MP38/MP40 at anything over 30 yards or so.
    2
  15129. Yeah, pretty hopeless.
    2
  15130. I think you are mixing up a couple different guns. There were many prototype iteration of the Garand, from about 1920 until its final adoption in 1936. Along the way were versions in .276 Pedersen, and intermediate round that showed a lot of promise, but .30-06 was used instead because it was already in the Army logistical system. The other gun you are thinking of is the Pedersen Device, which was a conversion of a 1903 Springfield rifle into a semiauto rifle in the .30 Pedersen pistol cartridge (very similar to 7.65mm French Long). I would love to have the chance to use either of them in a practical type match, but they are both very rare and very expensive. I might be able to pull it off some day, but I couldn't predict when.
    2
  15131. Weight.
    2
  15132. Can you explain what experience you have that led you to this conclusion? Because I have shot both Mausers and Garand on the clock in competition, and found the Garand to be much better. Really, the jump from bolt action to semiauto is so substantial as to make up for a significant amount of shooter skill, akin to the difference between muzzle loading and breech loading rifles.
    2
  15133. The M1 is a far superior combat weapon to the K98k, and anyone who claims otherwise has not shot both rifles in a stressful and timed situation.
    2
  15134. It's a live public match; we don't have the logistic ability to run both shooters with both guns (although it would be interesting to do so). I can attest that Karl (with the FG) is a significantly better than I am. If you think the so called test (actually I called it a 2-gun match because that's what it is) is null and void, I would encourage you to do a better comparison yourself... The reason the FG wasn't mass produced is due to both inter-service politics (it was an air force weapon, and the army was concentrating on StG44 type weapons), and the exceptional complexity and expense of manufacturing the FG.
    2
  15135. AKs are cheap. Transferrable NFA paperwork is expensive.
    2
  15136. Yes - that video is coming...
    2
  15137. Yes. That video is coming.
    2
  15138. It rotates, just like a regular Galil.
    2
  15139. Easier than most other places; Australia might be the next best bet.
    2
  15140. I expect the M1 trigger group was a new feature when the mid-war 420 became the post-war 420S, although the M! was adopted in 1936 and it is conceivable that someone from Brno could have examined one before 1942.
    2
  15141. Yes.
    2
  15142. I do not, but I am always looking.
    2
  15143. +Mikołaj Lewicki 1) Presumably they would be more talented in its use than me. :) 2) Either one would work.

  15147. +Ballsack Teebaghard I don't know where Wikipedia got that number, but the actual loading was a 180r bullet at 695 fps (230 m/s)
    2
  15148. +IzNoGuD Surfer Military revolvers of the late 1800s were a lot like today's polymer-framed duty pistols - there is a whole lot of overlap in their design features.
    2
  15149. +LittleCabinOnTheHill I plan to, yes.
    2
  15150. It's extruded, but still Swiss.
    2
  15151. Thank you!
    2
  15152. Nope.
    2
  15153. Yup, that was me.
    2
  15154. Very perceptive. :) I'm going through everything I still had pre-filmed, as I am now starting too use a 4K camera for History of Weapons and War.
    2

    2
  15159. Yes, I will be doing the Gras and MAS semi autos eventually.
    2
  15160. Have you looked at a Farquhar-Hill? Those things are definitely not ready for combat use.
    2
  15161. I already have that one filmed, just not published yet. :)
    2
  15162. I know exactly where the phrase comes from, and the shirt twists the meaning around the other way. "Only dropped once" signifies the sacrifice of the hundreds of thousands of French soldiers who fell in combat, only then dropping their weapons.
    2
  15163. PPU makes it, and it is usually in stock at various online sellers.
    2
  15164. Yes, standing three rifles up in a tripod so they don't lie on the ground.
    2
  15165. Including, apparently, the part where I explained why they were introducing a bolt action rifle. in 1936. :)
    2
  15166. Thanks!
    2
  15167. Yes, they were used extensively.
    2
  15168. In a word (well, two), submachine guns.
    2
  15169. Whatever it was, the Soviets captured it and the result was the RPD.
    2
  15170. Both pronunciations are fine.
    2
  15171. Yes, I've had him on the channel a number of times, and helped edit his upcoming book on British bullpup rifles.
    2
  15172. I gave the nod to the WA2000 because it was offered directly to my house, whereas I had to travel to the Pancor. :)
    2
  15173. I have not shot a MAT-49, but would like to. And yes, I will absolutely shoot the MAS 38, assuming I can source some ammo.
    2
  15174. A Vickers.
    2
  15175. Many 1892 carbines were updated to M16 pattern after WW1.
    2
  15176. Modification Desaleux, probably. The sights are calibrated for Balle 1886D.
    2
  15177. Sure, I guess I did.
    2
  15178. Just French nomenclature. "Carabines" are for cavalry, and "mousquetons" are for foot troops.
    2
  15179. Well, if you ever want to get rid of it...or something like an 1890 Gendarmerie, 1902 Indochina, 1907 Senegalese, or Daudeteau bayonet, let me know! :)
    2
  15180. Demo only. I believe the transparent plastic is much weaker than the proper receiver material.
    2
  15181. Instead of cutaways, HK has transparent receivers for showing how guns work.
    2
  15182. Yes, in a way.
    2
  15183. This may be surprising, but it actually weighs exactly the same as one box of triple-tube Henry rifle.
    2
  15184. https://youtu.be/VSPBIHRLYr4
    2
  15185. After.
    2
  15186. I know they are doing well simply by the fact that they still control Kyiv a month after the invasion.
    2
  15187. Not really. Some basic things are, but for example the requirements to get a permit for the different categories of arms are determined at the national level. Countries can make it simple and easy if they want to.
    2
  15188. That was my initial assumption, but it is not the case.
    2
  15189. That was my first assumption, but no.
    2
  15190. That was my first thought, but it's not the case.
    2
  15191. They did; Mauser introduced one in 1932.
    2
  15192. High quality manufacture, comfortable, and reliable - as long as your ammo isn't complete crap.
    2
  15193. This uses the same diameter bullets as several common cartridges, so those are easy to find.
    2
  15194. There are no other loading commercially available.
    2
  15195. The French issue ammo, at least after WWII, was steel cased.
    2
  15196. That would be wildly impractical, even if it did work.
    2
  15197. I've been on the list for one for several months already :)
    2
  15198. I wish I had bought this 5 years ago...https://youtu.be/HsRUMLE9ZQ8
    2
  15199. Making a semiauto as light as a bolt action was a very difficult proposition in the 1920s and 30s.
    2
  15200. Ohio Ordnance made them fairly recently under the name M1918A3.
    2
  15201. And the photos are pretty bad.
    2
  15202. Yes.
    2
  15203. I've been looking for one for years, and certainly will when I find one.
    2
  15204. He did all three of these (the second two on commission), and we have every intention of continuing to work with him as long as he is interested!
    2
  15205. Yes - but if you want to be sure, sign up for our email notifications: https://www.headstamppublishing.com/newsletter
    2
  15206. Yup :)
    2
  15207. Croatian, from SparTac
    2
  15208. That's the Czech ZB-47, on which I have a video coming...
    2
  15209. The reproduction does not use this special chamber.
    2
  15210. A flyer is a round that hits outside the general grouping made by the other rounds. It could be due to an imperfection in the bullet that causes it to fly slightly off target, or from the shooter making a poor shot, or other factors.
    2
  15211. +Jonathon Hurley 7.5x55
    2
  15212. Much shorter range.
    2
  15213. Guns sold by Sears were made by other companies (gun-specific companies) and just branded for Sears.
    2
  15214. I'm up for it, if there's something I can contribute. But I'd be equally happy to just listen to him lecture. :)
    2
  15215. No, they have been exempted from the NFA.
    2
  15216. In the UK yes, but not for the US cities.
    2
  15217. They work fine with single stack magazines. Other like this include the Ross and Mosin Nagant.
    2
  15218. It is for Norwich CT and Norwich NH.
    2
  15219. Almost there!
    2
  15220. Otte Gear.
    2
  15221. Touche.
    2
  15222. Oof, that would be a truly brutal gun to use in Brutality.
    2
  15223. They're called "segments", not clips. ;)
    2
  15224. https://youtu.be/sPWJOJZQCs8
    2
  15225. Yes, the civilian semiauto version is the PE90.
    2
  15226. With the proper background check, yes.
    2
  15227. I would have to have a chance to actually try firing both before I could make that decision :)
    2
  15228. Nope. They all had scope mounting rails, but not that any were actually issued with scopes.
    2
  15229. Glad you enjoyed it!
    2
  15230. MRMcLobster Nah, someone with an AR pretty much always wins, because they really are outstanding guns and the really good shooters are generally most experienced with ARs. We use other guns to have fun and build skills.
    2
  15231. MRMcLobster We aren't the only ones, but we tend to be at the extreme end of the curve. :) This match often has a nice smattering of FALs, vz58s, AKs, FN P90s, and other non-AR rifles. Most people don't bring guns they know to be explicitly uncompetitive like we do.
    2
  15232. Karl has run an SVT-40 a couple times, and it does pretty well. I think we will probably be taking a break from WWII stuff for the next couple months, though - I want to keep some variety to it.
    2
  15233. +thepunisher236169 Prvi Partisan makes a wide variety of obsolete or uncommon military calibers - things like 8mm Lebel, 6.5 Carcano, and others. The 8mm Mauser round isn't really all that hard to find here in the US, but almost all of it is either expensive soft-point hunting ammo or corrosive old military surplus. Prvi makes a line of standard ball 8mm Mauser that is a good compromise when you don't want to put surplus ammo through a rifle.
    2
  15234. It looks that way because the gun has a magwell sized for 8mm Mauser, and this one was made in .308 instead.
    2
  15235. So that it's on the outside in a right-handed holster.
    2
  15236. When your normal projectile is a round ball and you need to know how much ammo a given amount of lead will get you, gauge makes sense.
    2
  15237. +wrtltable That is interesting - it appears to be a ZB-26 magazine.
    2
  15238. This one is in 5.2mm. I have a much more detailed video discussing both patterns here: https://youtu.be/maou636x9Hg
    2
  15239. Seamus Pretty much equivalent.
    2
  15240. Jesse Sisolack Yep, I do.
    2
  15241. sotijas Not during a video, but I did break a reproduction FG-42 buttstock once.
    2
  15242. Later this month.
    2
  15243. They are printing and shipping now; should arrive any day.
    2
  15244. So the shirts match the guns, of course.
    2
  15245. No, I did that every time.
    2
  15246. Not much; I have more shooting time on the KP9 than either of the other two, and more time on MARs and AsK than HK platforms in general.
    2
  15247. No.
    2
  15248. Nope.
    2
  15249. Sorry, it's only open to US residents.
    2
  15250. Safety. On those guns, a parts failure would send the slide right back into the shooter's face. With the final design, the frame prevent this from happening even in the case of a catastrophic failure.
    2
  15251. Yes, the Tokarev uses the same locking mechanism as the 1911.
    2
  15252. Nope, never brought up as an issue. I don't see it being a problem with gloves, and if it was a problem and you didn't have gloves, handling the pistol would only be one of many problems.
    2
  15253. xXxBlackwaterXxX I don't have any particular knowledge of that type of memorabilia (or an interest in developing the knowledge) - I'm not a good person to be evaluating it.
    2
  15254. Oliie23 Yes, more or less.
    2
  15255. It's thirty ought six. The cartridge is caliber .30 model of 1906, aka "06", and pronounced as "ought six". There was also a thirty ought three, FWIW.
    2
  15256. +pfootball6363 It does not, because what fires the gun is the bolt moving forward over the trip. If the bolt is forward on a chambered round, it will not move as a result of flipping the selector, so it doesn't fire.
    2
  15257. +stinkiekiller declerck I think by not having any substantial gun-making experience.
    2
  15258. Nope, the British used the Bren for the sort of mobile firepower that the Germans has the 34 and 42 for. The US sort of tried to copy the German GPMG concept with the M1919A6. The US also made a very half-hearted attempt to adapt the MG42 to .30-06, which failed.
    2
  15259. You'd have to ask him...

    2
  15262. You can use the suppressor they make for it, or you can use it somewhere other than a dry, dusty desert. Or you can cover the area under the ,muzzle with a blanket, or wet down the dirt.
    2
  15263. Good.
    2
  15264. No, it doesn't.
    2
  15265. That and coordinating fields of fire with other guns.
    2
  15266. Yes - and I have a video on it coming.
    2
  15267. +Alex Trygg For good reason; the systems are very similar.
    2
  15268. Tomorrow.
    2
  15269. They had not yet arrived in-country when I was there, unfortunately.
    2
  15270. Welcome!
    2
  15271. They are completely interchangeable.
    2
  15272. Nope, they were never issued to infantry. Too heavy and cumbersome, and without enough practical benefit over box mags for infantry use. AA use really can make better use of increased capacity, and the weight and bulk aren't a big deal when the gun is mounted on a vehicle.
    2
  15273. We don't have a definite schedule for it yet; we still have to finish writing it.
    2
  15274. Awesome, thanks!
    2
  15275. Cool - congrats!
    2
  15276. It was standardized as 5.56mm NATO until 1977.
    2
  15277. Disintegrating.
    2
  15278. Its predecessor was, FWIW.
    2
  15279. Christmas.
    2
  15280. Yes, 16"
    2
  15281. No. Long eye relief only changes where the scope is mounted, not the size of the eye box.
    2
  15282. The zero is done with the red dot, which never comes off. Removing the magnifier doesn't impact the zero.
    2
  15283. We looked at one back in 2017 with plans to review it, but it broke and Karl hated it. Way too small of an eye box and field of view.
    2
  15284. We got really lucky with several days of beautiful sunny weather up north. It went back to constant rain when we came back down to Reykjavik.
    2
  15285. How dare I have fun!
    2
  15286. They are working on it, but it's a big island.
    2
  15287. Smoked fish and cucumber on rye rounds excellent.
    2
  15288. No, those aren't interchangeable either.
    2
  15289. No, there was not.
    2
  15290. No.
    2
  15291. Really? That's weird.
    2
  15292. No.
    2
  15293. Yes, the Sten was a bit infamous for it.
    2
  15294. Not misspelled, just the old way they wrote it. You will see that spelling on lots of old SIG arms.
    2
  15295. Clifford Bryan john Wilson No, they did not use the element in these pistols.
    2
  15296. They used it in the FAMAS and the AA52/F1 machine guns.
    2
  15297. The vz58 is a short stroke gas piston gun. Although its locking wedge does look similar to the FAMAS lever.
    2
  15298. Yes, it's a clip from that video.
    2
  15299. It's a semiauto lower, as I explain in the video.
    2
  15300. FU
    2
  15301. Diemaco used a different style of buffer tube nut. This is correct.
    2
  15302. It would be - I misspoke in the video; the shooting here was all done at 200 yards.
    2
  15303. My shooting here was 2.5 MOA; 5" at 200 yards.
    2
  15304. No, not really (IMO) assuming neither is badly designed. The thumbhole type is potentially stronger, actually...
    2
  15305. That's an M27; the Lebel converted to 7.5mm.
    2
  15306. A fine rifle will work when not reasonably clean, and does not have malfunctions, even easily cleared ones. The expectations of most British soldiers who were issued the A1 were based on a complete lack of contextual experience combined by what they were told by drill instructors. There is a reason none of the British special operations units who could choose their weapons chose the L85A1.
    2
  15307. That is really just a problem with the Radway Green mags, which are essentially made out of tin foil.
    2
  15308. No.
    2
  15309. I have no problem calling it out when I see it, like with the M1C Garand snipers.
    2
  15310. "Bbl" generally means just "barrel"
    2
  15311. 38 Cartridge; it means .38 Special.
    2
  15312. 16" is the minimum now, but it was originally 18".
    2
  15313. First one, then 2 or 3, then 10.
    2
  15314. Handguns of the World, by Edward Ezell. It's excellent and cheap. :
    2
  15315. No idea; I found out via news articles myself.

  15316. C&Rsenal is welcome any time they would like to join
    2
  15317. You might have. They were unpublished, but available.
    2
  15318. Always seems to come down to that, doesn't it?
    2
  15319. 7.62x54 and 7.62x53 are different names for the same cartridge.
    2
  15320. 7.62x53 and 7.62x54 re the same cartridge. While a 75 round magazine for the LS26 was designed, it was never put into military service.
    2
  15321. He wrote and ran world.guns.ru .
    2
  15322. At the end he briefly covers the replacement of the SKS by the AKM as an infantry rifle.
    2
  15323. John Jones That's just how it is for now.
    2
  15324. French ranger boots.
    2
  15325. Yes. Throwing from the side has resulted in injuries in previous matches.
    2
  15326. The tire was taller/deeper than the bipod legs.
    2
  15327. I don't have one...
    2
  15328. Expensive, but excellent.
    2
  15329. Otto Noizebarriers.
    2
  15330. French Army rangers.
    2
  15331. It was specified by the stage rules in the match.
    2
  15332. It's not hard at all...and yes, I was shooting GP11.
    2
  15333. P-Mags are loved because they are cheap, reliable, and more durable than the aluminum military mags.
    2
  15334. They are doing that by buying or building new receivers. In the US, such a conversion requires the original receiver to be destroyed and then the pieces (which, having been destroyed, are not legally a gun) rebuilt into a semiauto receiver.
    2
  15335. No, I have not been in the military.
    2
  15336. Well, get ready for more French rifles then! :)
    2
  15337. Sure, I'd be willing to try that...my mailing address is Ian McCollum, PO Box 87647 Tucson, AZ 85754 USA. Thanks! :)
    2
  15338. I have not seen that one, but I would be very interested if it does exist...
    2
  15339. Yes, there is a whole chapter on the FAMAS. It covers the F1, MAS-223, and G2 models.
    2
  15340. I use only brass-cased ammo and have yet to experience any problems with it.
    2
  15341. What's worse is that the Chinese government will force you to change your manuscript if they don't like it.
    2
  15342. The 8mm ammo is more expensive than .30-06, but .30-06 magazines are much more expensive than 8mm magazines. Balancing the two, it is less expensive to shoot the 8mm than procure enough magazines to properly use the .30-06.
    2
  15343. +Mrjohnnymoo1 No, on the 1895 the lever was an operating rod directly connected to the bolt, rather like in a lever action rifle.
    2
  15344. Some of the experimental Mk4 ones had folding stocks, but nothing that went into production
    2
  15345. They wanted the magazine to be side mounted so the gun can be better used prone. If they didn't want it like that, they would have changed it in the Patchett/Sterling, and they didn't.
    2
  15346. Makes the gun easier to use prone
    2
  15347. 7.62
    2
  15348. I made a couple mistakes in it - I will be refilming it properly later this summer, I hope.
    2
  15349. https://youtu.be/U5eKWnZx6RE
    2
  15350. No. And using .45ACP in Webleys is unsafe and should never be done. The .45ACP runs at the same pressure as .455 Webley proof loads.
    2
  15351. +Zod McStuffins The US used tank-mounted flamethrowers as well - Mr. Hobson's book includes a chapter specifically on the M#, which fit the standard Browning .30 mount in vehicles.
    2
  15352. +Jason Fedeli He doesn't want to sell one to someone he doesn't think ought to have it. His sale, his decision.
    2
  15353. +chedca Yes, his flamethrowers were used in Windtalkers, and he trained the operators.
    2
  15354. It was brilliant until I realized I would have to sell the collection to make it work.
    2
  15355. The Micron is only 5.56.
    2
  15356. No.
    2
  15357. Yes, but not shooting this year.
    2
  15358. Oakleys. They're really nice, but one tore at the thumb during the match.
    2
  15359. Not the way I use it it's not.
    2
  15360. No, it would just hurt.
    2
  15361. Cold Weather Survivor Nopt a .357 that I am aware of, but the Owen Gun started out as a .38 S&W subgun.
    2
  15362. ***** I don't have access to one now, but it is a gun on my list to do video on.
    2
  15363. claus christensen Both, I think.
    2
  15364. Yes.
    2
  15365. It was not armor, it was a flash hider. My early description was mistaken.
    2
  15366. They would have been available to order as soon as they were in production; Mauser was happy to sell them to Americans and there were no laws that would prevent it.
    2
  15367. I did; it;'s linked in the end cards.
    2
  15368. Sorry, I don't have a reference for the Baynard serial numbers. You can find a history and disassembly instructions at unblinkingeye (sorry, Youtube doesn't allow links in comments).
    2
  15369. Standard 8mm Mauser.
    2
  15370. I am working on my first one right now.
    2
  15371. 8mm Mauser.
    2
  15372. http://www.a-human-right.com/jewsfight.html
    2
  15373. Correct.
    2

    2
  15375. You can read it here: http://www.a-human-right.com/jewsfight.html
    2
  15376. Nope, I just had a bunch of different material to use after attending Cody's 2019 Arsenals of History symposium.
    2
  15377. People often say this, but it's really not true. The US WW1 ammo was M1906; a 150gr bullet at 2700 fps. The French WW1 ammo was Balle D; a 198gr bullet at 2400 fps. In terms of both kinetic energy and momentum, the French round is actually more powerful.
    2
  15378. The flag is that of the United Arab Republic (a union of Egypt and Syria under which this rifle was made) and it's the same as the current Syrian government flag.
    2
  15379. The flag is that of the United Arab Republic (a union of Egypt and Syria under which this rifle was made) and it's the same as the current Syrian government flag.

  15381. A wildcat is a cartridge made on a small scale (usually by hobbyists) that is not formally standardized by an organization like SAAMI.
    2
  15382. https://youtu.be/pMGq2hFTnvM
    2
  15383. This video was specifically for cartridges with "9mm" in their names. I have a whole video on the .356 TSW and the S&W 3566: https://youtu.be/P2jU5cp4WCg
    2
  15384. That would be the 7.65 French Long, actually...
    2
  15385. I talk about it at the end, since it wasn't developed until just a few decades ago.
    2
  15386. https://youtu.be/P2jU5cp4WCg
    2
  15387. https://youtu.be/pMGq2hFTnvM
    2
  15388. No, the chamber is cut for a 19mm case and so 9x21 will not fit.
    2
  15389. https://youtu.be/P2jU5cp4WCg
    2
  15390. No, it's an FN 1910.
    2

    2
  15392. https://youtu.be/pMGq2hFTnvM
    2
  15393. Not that I am aware of.
    2
  15394. It's smooth, and what most folks would consider to be too heavy - but I think it's a pretty good trigger for a service pistol.
    2
  15395. They were added on - generally riveted, but on rare occasions welded.
    2
  15396. It's legit.
    2
  15397. Well, there is a whole chapter on the AK-55 in the book...
    2
  15398. Yup, that incident is discussed in the book. :)
    2
  15399. Unfortunately, I haven't found a good example to film yet.
    2
  15400. Yeah, I filmed this several years ago.
    2
  15401. I agree, but the semi-rim is a dealbreaker.
    2
  15402. At the start of WW2 the Marines were still issuing 1903A3 Springfields. A lot of Marines landing on Guadalcanal still had 1903s.
    2
  15403. I will demote myself immediately.
    2
  15404. Found them from a private seller online.
    2
  15405. Well, obviously!
    2
  15406. Generally pretty difficult. There are a couple on gunbroker right now, though.
    2
  15407. Korth PRS, Calico.
    2
  15408. There is a difference between a patent troll and a legitimate enforcement of a legitimate patent. Colt revolutionized small arms, and we have patent law to incentivize exactly that sort of innovation.
    2
  15409. It's actually not a lightweight gun at all. A break-action is better than the Terminator in every way - weight, cost, speed of reloading, etc.
    2
  15410. Utreon is better for me, yes - but it is also a newly growing platform. If you are willing to move there it would be better for me, but please realise that you may still find bugs here and there, and a few of the Patreon perks are not yet set up there.
    2
  15411. I would love to, but they are not taking new creators right now (I asked).
    2
  15412. Thank you!
    2
  15413. I bought two of them when RSR blew them out cheap. InRange got one from Hudson; Karl has it.
    2
  15414. Its a reproduction one
    2
  15415. They already are...
    2
  15416. DVDs are impractical - a complete set would require literally hundreds.
    2
  15417. I talked to them, but they are not accepting new creators.
    2
  15418. FinalCutProX
    2
  15419. Yup, early access - same as Patreon subscribers get via Patreon. The book reviews, however, will remain supporter exclusives.
    2
  15420. I have, and I reached out to them about joining - unfortunately they are not taking new creators right now. :(
    2
  15421. Yes; I have always found SubscribeStar to be sketchy and I don't really like it. It also offers none of the benefits that Utreon does.
    2
  15422. My mother made it for me.
    2
  15423. That kepi blanc was a gift from the Foreign Legion museum, so I'm not too concerned about wearing it in.a video...
    2
  15424. Well... https://youtu.be/XLdZuFo6HFo https://youtu.be/67tUMc__xHc
    2
  15425. The MP43, MP44, and StG44 are all the same gun with different names at different times.
    2
  15426. The same gun was renamed twice. It was the MP43, then the MP44, then the StG44.
    2
  15427. There are actually a lot more StGs on the registry than people think, and that AK was a Vietnam bringback that two people both decided they really wanted...
    2
  15428. Not yet.
    2
  15429. I think Julia's estimate is accurate.
    2
  15430. Nope, I have heard nothing new. Wish I had!

  15433. Actually, I deleted several of his comments and then banned him.
    2
  15434. Yep.
    2
  15435. Yes, that's correct. We have some video and manual on the Vickers-Berthier which will be posted over on Forgotten Weapons as time allows.
    2
  15436. It kinda is the obvious question, right? I certainly don't claim to be right all the time, but you should at least have some reasoning if you want to make a claim. The Bren was replaced by a belt-fed GPMG to satisfy different tactics, not because of any problem with the gun itself. How many successful side-magazine machine guns have ever been fielded? Not many - the Johnson and the Swiss LMG-25, maybe a few others. It just isn't as effective as a top magazine design.
    2
  15437. There are some similarities with the Bren, but the MAG58 is a direct descendent of the BAR.
    2
  15438. The Bren is better than the Lewis in almost every way. Cheaper, simpler, lighter, and more reliable.
    2
  15439. When was the last time you shot a Bren (or other top-mag LMG, like a Madsen, Nambu, or Vickers-Berthier)?
    2
  15440. Why do you say that?
    2
  15441. Yeah, it really is cheaper and easier. Not sure how you jump from that to all things British. Do you not like British guns? Or guns designed with efficient production in mind? Do you have some particular beef with the Bren? You seem really argumentative about this stuff, while simultaneously not having actually tried using the guns in question.
    2
  15442. In that case...your opinion is wrong. The magazine does not present a significant visual obstruction.
    2
  15443. Sure, there are transferrable Brens out there.
    2
  15444. That footage was almost totally ruined by wind noise, so I never put it together into a published video. Just had enough to salvage for the old intro segment.
    2
  15445. I don't know...
    2
  15446. It means that HK lost the lawsuit after first calling it the HK M4.
    2
  15447. Just download an electronic copy for free.
    2
  15448. The Browning is anything but light. It was a medium machine gun pushed into the role despite not fitting it.
    2
  15449. +Alexander Marinin Drums are problematic for military applications, and pretty much always get dropped before long. For example, the PPD/PPSh-41, M31 Suomi, Thompson, and RPK all had their drums replaced with box magazines. Drums are just too bulky, expensive, and unreliable compared to normal box mags.
    2
  15450. +Yeung Man Kiu It doesn't have ejectors, only extractors.
    2
  15451. Keep practicing. Think of it like Pai Mei's training in Kill Bill. When you can load the 33rd rounds as easily as the first, you are ready.
    2
  15452. To clarify, the guns were purchased from a dealer in Hamburg, but shipped from Kiel into the Baltic. Why they did not take a shorter route into the North Sea I don't know.
    2
  15453. To clarify, the guns were purchased from a dealer in Hamburg, but shipped from Kiel into the Baltic. Why they did not take a shorter route into the North Sea I don't know.
    2
  15454. I struck me as quite unusual that the ship would have that name...
    2
  15455. Indeed I do! :)
    2
  15456. The 1917 a fair bit; the 1918 virtually none (in WW1).
    2
  15457. No.
    2
  15458. They needed to get rid of the 8mm Lebel cartridge and replace it with a modern rimless round.
    2
  15459. Yes.
    2
  15460. "Non-sporting" rifles cannot be imported, and GIAT (the manufacturer) stopped making small arms about 20 years ago.
    2
  15461. In the US, if a receiver is ever a machine gun, it is always legally a machine gun. Where you can convert to semiauto by changing the fire control parts, we must make a new semiauto-only receiver.
    2
  15462. H&K 416F
    2
  15463. About 200 came in the in the 80s. They tend to sell for $25-$30 thousand these days.
    2
  15464. I filmed this last year.
    2
  15465. Air guns create recoil just like firearms. If they have less, it is because they are pushing a lighter projectile at a lower velocity.
    2
  15466. That's because the auction has already happened.
    2
  15467. It's my PO Box. number form the address in the description. Because of the symbol, YouTube now interprets that as a hashtag.
    2
  15468. I have posted 18 videos in a row without anything Finnish.
    2
  15469. Those are normal guns in wall mounts.
    2
  15470. Wait until you see the Sanna-77...
    2
  15471. This was filmed with a private collector in South Africa.
    2
  15472. If it were in the US, it would be.
    2
  15473. It was fun to watch - nice job!
    2
  15474. No, a Suomi m/31.
    2
  15475. If I can be so bold as to link to one of my other videos... Direct Gas Impingement and the AR Bolt
    2
  15476. I'm not concerned about politics there, but the two rifles are basically identical in practical terms. I don't think a competition between them would reveal anything new about the guns.
    2
  15477. I used the Enfield revolver in my Mauser vs Enfield competition, which you can see here: 2-Gun Action Match: England Versus Germany
    2
  15478. Zeroing is one example. Also firing ranging shots, and if you want to shoot slowly to not disclose the fact that you have a machine gun before best time. And, of course, Carlos Hathcock made his record-breaking long range shot in Vietnam with a .50 M2.
    2
  15479. diasirea None at all.
    2
  15480. +rav ravensdale The screw that holds the mainspring in place inside the frame.
    2
  15481. +RabidMortal1 Expensive and fragile.
    2
  15482. +TiglathPileser3 Keltec P32.
    2
  15483. +vtfirearms I don't think so.
    2
  15484. +Magnus Nilsen The screw that holds the mainspring in place inside the grip - it's not threaded all the way in on this one.
    2
  15485. Potentiually on this example, although the other two models do not have the sights directly on the barrel.
    2
  15486. It would be limited the same way as blowback. Technically any cartridge can be done, but you quickly get into multi-pound slides necessary to run safely.
    2
  15487. It's exempt from the NFA.
    2
  15488. Correct.
    2
  15489. Nope, that's not anything I've seen before. Very cool though - I'm looking forward to seeing your video.
    2
  15490. To some extent. Some of that information was destroyed by US bombing raids, but when it's available it is included.
    2
  15491. The Benelli pistol? Yes - it's a bit down the road, but I'll be doing a video on all 4 versions.
    2
  15492. Yes - Thomas Dugelby's "EM2: Concept and Design", published by Collector Grade. It's out of print, of course, but some copies should be floating around.
    2
  15493. The name doesn't sound familiar, but I have seen a Japanese copy of the ZH-29. Perhaps that is the same thing?
    2
  15494. I haven't done any yet, but they're coming...
    2
  15495. Yeah, the site appears to be down at the moment.
    2
  15496. No; the MC58 was specifically bought as an M14 trainer.
    2
  15497. In .22 rimfire pistols, that sort of thing has been around for a long time. It's much easier because the amount of reciprocating mass is much lighter than in service-caliber pistols.
    2
  15498. Varusteleka
    2
  15499. "Deringer" was a specific company name, which did not exist when these were made. "Derringer" is the common-use misspelling of the original name.
    2
  15500. My audio engineer set the levels wrong.
    2
  15501. Sorry, I do not have any of that data.
    2
  15502. I have a video on the Steyr ACR coming soon...
    2
  15503. +666Vertigo Couldn't say exactly, without pulling to bolt out.
    2
  15504. Normal war is when two (or more) countries try to become one. Civil war is when one country tries to become two (or more).
    2
  15505. Not really much difference that I can see. The .35 Remington will (probably) be the easier gun to find, though.
    2
  15506. I would suggest .300 Savage or .35 Remington. All the others are really hard to find.
    2
  15507. It's a GoPro Hero 3+ Black.
    2
  15508. Yup, that's true. But when they release the 81 in .300, Remington also offered to rebarrel customers' Model 8 rifle for the new cartridge. Mine is one that was sent back to the factory by its owner to be converted to the slick new .300 Savage cartridge.
    2
  15509. I'll check that out, thanks!
    2
  15510. The Model 8 I used for the previous video was borrowed. I would like to get a tang site for this one; I think it would be an improvement, at least at longer ranges. Up close, buckhorns are actually pretty good.  FWIW, all Model 8 rifles came form the factory with the tapped mounting hole for the tang sight.
    2
  15511. TheRealSchifty It was simpler to put away a couple boxes of factory ammo than to buy brass and work up a load for the Model 8. Now that I have the brass, I will definitely reload for the rifle's future use.
    2
  15512. I have been putting it aside for a while with this match in mind...
    2
  15513. Well, can't really turn that down, can I? Drop me a line at admin@forgottenweapons.com- thanks!
    2
  15514. I was shooting my Ballester-Molina, an Argentine variation on the 1911. You can see my previous video on the Model 8 here: Remington Model 8 (in .25 Remington)
    2
  15515. It is!
    2
  15516. Yep.
    2
  15517. Yep, fixed the flag
    2
  15518. I see them typically sell for $450-$600.
    2
  15519. It is the GPMG.
    2
  15520. Yes, definitely.
    2
  15521. There was a, ah, management error scheduling the video a few weeks ago and it went live for a short time.
    2
  15522. No, the replacement for guns like this was the 57mm AT gun.
    2
  15523. That's 5.56, not 7.62.
    2
  15524. Terminator does not have a human body.
    2
  15525. Yes, it can be changed.
    2
  15526. Mounted to aircraft, in 20mm, like I explain in the video.
    2
  15527. I don't know where people come up with that number. It fires ~50 rounds/second, and 7.62 NATO is not more than $0.50/round.
    2
  15528. Each barrel only fires 600rpm or so, so they heat up just like typical machine gun barrels.
    2
  15529. Sure, firing blanks makes that possible.
    2
  15530. Standard M60 links, and they are flexible enough to not be damaged.
    2
  15531. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeyVrLK03mc
    2
  15532. The weight doesn't really matter, though, for a vehicle-mounted gun.

  15533. They are reusable.
    2
  15534. It sounds no loud (subjectively) than a regular .308, but that the noise goes longer. :)
    2
  15535. You don't. In real-world applications, all your ammo is loaded as a single belt, and you reload when you get back to base.
    2
  15536. Stoeger imported and sold Lugers, but did not manufacture them.
    2
  15537. Yup.
    2
  15538. American.
    2
  15539. In the 1920s a lot of guns were assembled by DWM on a mishmash of leftover parts that were available. Germany was in a huge economic depression, and it didn't make sense to manufacture a lot of new parts if you could use stuff still lying around.
    2
  15540. The owner did not want the serial number shown. I don't think it's a big deal, but I am happy to accommodate the owner's wishes on something like that.
    2
  15541. The owner didn't want the whole serial number showing.
    2
  15542. Yes, basically.
    2
  15543. The ordering link is in the description text :)
    2
  15544. Yes, it would be.
    2
  15545. There is an open section in the gas piston that lines up with the ejection port when empty cases are ejected. Similar to the trigger in the 1911 straddling around both sides of the magazine.
    2
  15546. Later versions added that capability.
    2
  15547. The same, although with a few minor variations.
    2
  15548. I would say RPD/M249, RPK/M27 IAR, and PKM/M240.
    2
  15549. As a dealer-only gun (albeit pre-86) I believe it is on a Form 3.
    2
  15550. If the gun gets really dirty and there is a lot of friction in the moving parts, more gas can give it the power to continue cycling when it would otherwise short stroke. All else being equal though, you want the least ammount of gas necessary so the gun doesn't beat itself up.
    2
  15551. Shooting video (of an M240G) is linked at the end.
    2
  15552. If I don't post this video, you won't have a basis for comparison when the Madsen-Saetter video posts in a couple weeks. :)
    2
  15553. I was busy being in Italy.
    2
  15554. If you check out my main blog Forgotten Weapons, you can see the whole post I did on the relationship between the AK and StG...
    2
  15555. So that there is enough barrel for the front projectiles.
    2
  15556. No. Chain guns are multi-barrel designs which have a literal chain controlling rotation.
    2
  15557. Rijksmuseum, apparently.
    2
  15558. Rock Island estimates $1500-$2500, for what that's worth.
    2
  15559. I would guess it was made because it was a fun project for the guy doing it.
    2
  15560. It will be incorporated into the mold.
    2
  15561. https://youtu.be/YQ451lbKW0o?t=631
    2
  15562. Yes! :)
    2
  15563. Granted.
    2
  15564. Thanks! Yours will come... :)
    2
  15565. Thanks!
    2
  15566. It's the PO Box in the description text. YouTube started treating it like a hashtag later on.
    2
  15567. Correct.
    2
  15568. Considering that we have falling plates and spinners and such, an under-powered pistol is really not an advantage...
    2
  15569. The second model (like this one) has a brass deflector; the first pattern did not.
    2
  15570. Many of the ideas came from Croft's custom guns before Keith had this one made.
    2
  15571. It hasn't sold yet - the auction is on the 15th & 16th. Julia estimates it will bring $30k-$50k.
    2
  15572. Yes, it is. The screw needs to be tightened.
    2
  15573. As I say in the description, the consigner opted to pull it form the auction (I don't know why).
    2
  15574. Yeah, a lot of the imported guns were fitted with aftermarket 9mm barrels.
    1
  15575. Yes, until I find a buyer for it.
    1
  15576. It does not.
    1
  15577. There is a full video coming in a couple days.
    1
  15578. The full video in a couple days will show the target.
    1
  15579. Metallic belts (disintegrating links, actually) were generally only used in aircraft guns in WWI. Infantry guns used cloth belts. There are no reproduction belts.
    1
  15580. Well, I would be happy to sell you this Vickers...
    1
  15581. Well, that would actually be the Browning M1917, but they do look similar.
    1
  15582. Yes, absolutely.
    1
  15583. It's a Vickers, but I have a set of modified bits so it will run 7.62x54R right now.

  15586. Sorry; YouTube no longer allows it.
    1
  15587. YouTube doesn't allow links to sites that sell guns.
    1
  15588. The .22 Long is the same length cartridge case as the Long Rifle, just with a lighter bullet. That won't chamber in this revolver, as both the case and the OAL are too long for the cylinder.
    1
  15589. The .22 Long is the same length cartridge case as the Long Rifle, just with a lighter bullet. That won't chamber in this revolver, as both the case and the OAL are too long for the cylinder.

    1
  15591. It was lent to me for the video, and I don't know what the owner paid. I do know that I wouldn't pay more than about $50 for on myself.
    1
  15592. The name of the guy who made it, like I said in the video.
    1
  15593. For some reason, YouTube isn't notifying anyone about today's video - I have no idea why.
    1
  15594. I did not mean to suggest it isn't; just that pain is not what makes it work.
    1
  15595. Because once the shells are in the gun you can't see them. The idea of dedicated less-lethal guns being brightly colored is not unique to taser.
    1
  15596. What better time could there be for this sort of information?
    1
  15597. Why?Is relevant non-partisan information a bad thing?
    1
  15598. Sure, they could also just buy a normal shotgun. The point here is to prevent accidental mixing of lethal and less-lethal ammunition.
    1

    1
  15600. They will post over the next 6 months or so.
    1
  15601. Not quite. For carbines, there was the M1, then the fully automatic M2, the night vision equipped M3, and then the 5.56mm M4. Submachine guns ended at the M3/M3A1.
    1
  15602. Because Thompson mags were too expensive to make.
    1
  15603. There are a bunch of 1903s, but no 1900s. I will do videos on both of these designs eventually, but I will do them with guns I can shoot (neither one is very rare).
    1
  15604. Eventually, yes.
    1
  15605. Sorry, but I didn't have enough tome to do that one. Another day...and hopefully with one I can shoot on camera as well.
    1
  15606. No, not really any similarity to the Nambu besides the cocking knob.
    1
  15607. IIRC, that allows you to empty the rounds out of the magazine.
    1
  15608. Atlas, I believe.
    1
  15609. Because constant recoil is only useful in a machine gun, and nobody makes machine guns for the civilian market because of the NFA.
    1
  15610. It's coming next month.
    1
  15611. Yeah, I had a limited amount of ammunition to use and wanted to make sure I had enough left for the match. It's slowly getting cheaper and more available, but at the time of filming my supply was pretty limited.
    1
  15612. I think it would be great.
    1
  15613. Yes. It is offered as a 12" SBR in 8.6mm, and a 16" regular rifle in 6.5 CM and .308 Win.
    1
  15614. Yes. It is offered as a 12" SBR in 8.6mm, and a 16" regular rifle in 6.5 CM and .308 Win. There's really no good reason to use 8.6 in a 16" long barrel or unsuppressed.
    1
  15615. Apparently at 1.3:1 the bullet will spin supersonic.
    1
  15616. If I were a Buddhist, I would rather be reincarnated as a deer that gets shot in the forest one day than as a cow that lives its whole life on a feed lot.
    1
  15617. The Fix is a hunting rifle (IMO), but the cartridge was designed for military semi autos.
    1
  15618. It's a Finnish M91 hat
    1
  15619. AGM Rattler TS35-640
    1
  15620. I am only interested in the subsonic loadings, so the short barrel is fine. It could probably be even shorter without any problem.
    1
  15621. Yes, I use amplified in-ear plugs as my regular hearing protection. But I would much rather not use anything.
    1
  15622. +Damian Grouse I would not consider an FR-7 or FR-8 to be a last ditch sort of gun.

    1
  15626. +JohnYCannuck It's a quite strong action, in large part because it was designed around a quite hot cartridge - the .280 Ross. Replace that with the .303, and you will have an action with a really high margin of safety.

    1
  15632. +Jeffrey Wacker Nah, it's just a kit-built Romanian AKM.
    1
  15633. +X_Fox How often are you shooting through brush, and yet still able to aim at a target that is far enough beyond the brush that any bullet deflection will actually cause you to miss?
    1
  15634. +X_Fox The assertion that .223 ammo is easily deflected it not true. The .223 allows for more ammo to be carried, faster recoil recovery and followup shots, and is somewhat more practical in full auto. The tradeoff is reduced barrier penetration, but I don't think that tradeoff makes the 7.62 NATO a better choice.
    1
  15635. +X_Fox In my opinion? No.
    1
  15636. +lkkjkkkkkkk I have noticed it, but that's a subject for it's own whole discussion.
    1
  15637. +alasdair livingston Can't help you then. Sorry.
    1
  15638. +alasdair livingston Is it a bolt action Mauser?
    1

    1
  15640. +Patrick Takada 6.5mm
    1
  15641. +Samuel Corry I have handled them, but in their original form they really don't qualify as an SMG because they have to be used from a mount. They were rebuilt as proper shoulder-fired SMGs right at the end of WWI, and saw combat within a week or two of the first German MP-18s (people argue over which was technically first, and there doesn't seem to be any real proof either way).
    1
  15642. +Muzzle Brake http://www.1791apparel.com/collections/store/products/garand
    1
  15643. A license plate outside the window.
    1
  15644. Sorry. :(
    1
  15645. Yes.
    1
  15646. A lot of South American countries used Madsen designs. Brazil did a lot with the Madsen SMG (their own copy, designated INA), and you see reference to the Rio drug police still using Madsen LMGs. Colombia was the only major purchaser of the M47 bolt action Madsen, and so on. Swedish make you think of camels because Egypt copied the Swedish Ljungman rifle and m/45 SMG as the Hakim/Rashid and Port Said.
    1
  15647. Yeah, we were using it to load the mags.
    1
  15648. Keep in mind that open bolt subguns have an endemic safety issue - lock the bolt open with a mag inserted, and a hard knock will jar the sear enough to let the bolt run forward and fire. Same thing can happen with the bolt closed over a loaded mag - drop the gun on the butt and the bolt may bounce down far enough to strip out a round and fire it. The grip safety is a very effective way to solve that problem; it just brings other issues along with it.
    1
  15649. Robert hoefkens Not me personally, but someone certainly could in theory. In practice, it would be very far from cost-effective. For a gun like this to be practical to manufacture, you need to sell a lot of them (making stampings is really, really expensive for the first one, and only becomes cheap once you've been able to use the same set of stamping dies to make a few tens of thousands of units). There simply isn't a market for tens of thousands of Madsen SMGs today.
    1
  15650. Whenever I can get my hands on one. I do like the Sterling, and would love to have more opportunities to shoot them...
    1
  15651. Very reliable.
    1
  15652. Interesting - I've never handled a Krieger conversion, so I can't say why it would only be able to hold 4 rounds. The standard gun does hold 5 just fine, though.
    1
  15653. Yes, it is.
    1
  15654. ZZANG1847 Very nice - thanks!
    1
  15655. None that I am aware of.

  15656. The is an example in 12ga.
    1
  15657. They are great to shoot.
    1
  15658. These are not NFA regulated because they do not use fixed (cartridge) ammunition.
    1
  15659. No, because they do not used fixed ammunition (ie, cartridges).
    1
  15660. We are still working on it.
    1
  15661. Your powers are useless here, old man.
    1
  15662. No, most of these were photographed at the Springfield Armory National Historic Site. My own US collection is pretty paltry.
    1
  15663. It is being printed in China. We continue to look for other alternatives, but that is our best option for both cost and quality right now.

  15705. It's worth pointing out that there were no active patents on the C96 or FN 1900 when these were being made. This sort of copying was endemic in Europe as well - for example, there is an entire book on European-made fake Colt revolvers (which were actually patent infringements): https://youtu.be/BzRQ2l5N_K0

    1
  15712. Sorry, but no. The logistics dictate that we can only have one standardized European shipping package.
    1
  15713. We can ship anything to Europe, but the European pledge is the only one that ships from within the EU to avoid customs fees.
    1
  15714. Yes. Our shipping cost form the EU is still less than the US, but you will probably have customs fees, which we cannot predict or control.
    1

  15723. Just waiting to get a demo gun and ammo to do it with...
    1
  15724. Yes, several different versions.
    1
  15725. The MP7 fits very nicely into Gen 3, as it is basically a scaled-down G36. The P90 is a bit more of an oddball.
    1
  15726. The Vector and P90 are outliers, but the MP7 is a solid Gen 3 design as I see it; essentially a scaled-down G36.
    1
  15727. The MP38/40 was often called a Schmeisser by American troops, but was not actually designed by Schmeisser.
    1
  15728. The gun designed like the P90 is the FN F2000. Not in all aspects, but they share layout and controls, which IMO makes the P90 a Gen 3 SMG.

    1
  15740. Correct.
    1
  15741. The British did have a 20-round trench magazine for the Lee Enfield in WW1. They are extremely rare today because most were used and worn out in machine gun development and testing in the 1920s.

    1
  15746. Right now, no - but we are working on it, and will hopefully have something in a few months
    1
  15747. Correct, or you can manually hold the bolt open while you load the second batch of rounds. There is a technique for pushing up on the hammer to hold the bolt open, but it's a bit tricky and definitely a pain in the butt.  It's a forgotten weapon for good reason. :)

  15757. I've heard of them, but never handled one.
    1
  15758. The sight picture under the rail is really tight; it might have been a bit easier to make the hits but finding the targets would have been much harder.
    1
  15759. Yes, Desert Brutality.

  15764. I have an AR video like this coming shortly...
    1
  15765. I have a video on that question coming shortly.
    1
  15766. Because of the way the parts are nested, any residual gas blows forward, not back.
    1
  15767. Here in the US, at least, those do not meet the definition of submachine gun because they do not use pistol cartridges.
    1
  15768. In my opinion, that would be a Gen 2 design. Like the UMP, for example.
    1
  15769. It could be argued that the P90 is a 2nd Gen SMG, with a simply blowback mechanism and economical polymer shell manufacturing.
    1
  15770. If by "rifle pattern bullets" you mean cases with shoulders, and bullet smaller than the case head diameter, then there are a lot of older SMGs that also meet your definition. All the Soviet ones in 7.62x25mm Tokarev, for starters.
    1
  15771. You are so welcome!
    1
  15772. Because that way it looks more interesting for the reloading animation.
    1
  15773. Early in handgun development, there were no fully automatic pistols. You had manually operated guns (like the Volcanic, Bittner, etc) and then guns that operated automatically - aka automatics.
    1
  15774. Yes.
    1
  15775. Yes, as long as the gun is in good working order.

    1
  15817. I will do a more detailed series on each model in the future.
    1
  15818. It is uncommon, but not surprising to find. The first batch of Russian Mosins were made under contract by Chatellerault, and those early guns would have been spread among the guns captured and purchased by the Finns.
    1
  15819. When I find one, it will get a video all to itself. :)
    1
  15820. It was made in 1913, so it was originally an M91. It is probably a 91/24 if it was modified by the Finns but still has the Russian barrel.
    1
  15821. Well, the most appropriate choice would be a Lahti M40.

    1
  15841. +Michael Hildebrand .45 Colt is a higher pressure round today only because of more modern revolver designs. The SAA is not a very strong action, comparatively.

  15852. No. Paid my own train fare to visit them, too.
    1
  15853. I go where the guns are to get material for filming. I can't change RTI/IO's prices and I can't change the conditions - but I do show the guns honestly. If you want to know what to expect from and RTI/IO purchase, I believe my videos (for instance, the Carcano series) will show you what you are likely to get.
    1
  15854. The difference is that a ratty condition firearm can still be an interesting collectible.

  15865. Here’s the whole story: French NATO Standardization: the MAS 49-56 in 7.62mm https://youtu.be/e8FRzvI9GWo
    1
  15866. There is a section on development of the Borchardt that is about 30 pages long, and the Borchardt is also covered in the sections on serial numbers, manuals, accessories, magazines, and ammunition. Unfortunately, I don't know of any good book (or even a poor book) on the Bergmann pistols. I wrote a series of articles on them at ForgottenWeapons.com, and referenced all the sources I'm aware of there (Ezell & Wilson, mostly).
    1
  15867. The firearms division of James Julia was sold to Morphys.
    1
  15868. No, they are mine. I wish they were his!
    1
  15869. That is very generous, and I would totally take you up on the offer if I had not already made arrangements to ship my M39 over. If anything going wrong with the shipping and import/export though I will let you know. Thanks!
    1
  15870. Ah! Thanks - I had thought the rather late serial number was unusual.
    1
  15871. Semiauto vs full auto.
    1
  15872. The trigger are bad in different ways. The Angstadt trigger is heavy, the HK trigger is long and squishy.

    1
  15882. It is a Hotchkiss Universal.
    1
  15883. I did not.
    1
  15884. It's a semiauto conversion with a 16" barrel that I have not yet registered as an SBR.

    1
  15920. You are correct in the case of an AR, where the barrel is separate from the receiver. On an HK roller-delayed gun, the barrel is permanently attached to the receiver, and so if it is less than 16" long it is an NFA item unless it is a pistol.

  15926. No, the Rollin White patent was only in force in the United States. One of the arguments used against it in US court, BTW, was that the concept was in common usage in Europe prior to White's patent application.

    1
  15938. You can have multiple people authorized in the gun.
    1
  15939. d) Buy a .44 Magnum revolver for bear country; this pistol is intended for bedside home defense.
    1
  15940. Why would they not skip the whole smart gun step and just tell people to turn in their guns? And would people turn them in? Would that change if people had smart guns?
    1
  15941. Almost certainly
    1
  15942. The camera works in the dark. It's a near-IR camera with an IR flash.
    1
  15943. Masks and gloves were an immediate source of skepticism to me, but this is not being marketed as a carry gun. They have knowingly made a number of design choices that clearly make it worse as a carry gun. For home defense, masks and gloves aren't really an issue, are they?
    1
  15944. Based on what they told me, I think they have gone way above and beyond the security needed for the primary role the gun is intended for. I will be very interested to see what it actually takes for someone to hack one of them in real life...
    1
  15945. I'm not an electrical engineer, but based on what they showed me (which is still under NDA until the production models are released) it would be significantly harder to convert this to full auto than a regular gun.
    1
  15946. I have tried to ask for updates, and not gotten any answers. I would never recommend prepaying for a gun in development.
    1
  15947. It's an excellent book.
    1
  15948. Since posting the video, it has been suggest to me that this was a testbed for the mechanism (prior to building on in 8x57), and that sounds like a more plausible explanation.
    1
  15949. You cannot create blueprints by reverse engineering a single example.
    1
  15950. It's a pre-1898 antique.
    1
  15951. I filmed this back in January.
    1
  15952. Yes, but I have a lot of other material in the queue before it.
    1
  15953. There is no such thing as an M1A adjustable gas block. It’s a self-adjusting gas system
    1
  15954. No, it's attached to the stock and does not contact the working parts.
    1
  15955. I really dislike these sort of 180 traps, and they are ubiquitous in USPSA matches around here.

    1
  15983. It is a registered post-sample machine gun.
    1
  15984. Maybe they left the barrel pinned into the trunnion to turn it down, and then couldn't center the trunnion in the lathe chuck? That would fit...

  16004. James River.

  16005. "Long rifle". There are several different types of .22 rimfire ammunition; primarily .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle. Virtually every .22 rimfire gun made today (except a few high-end competition pistols) is chambered for the Long Rifle type.
    1
  16006. That was me testing a Ross MkIII.
    1
  16007. Yes, when I find one I can film.
    1
  16008. Most submachine guns are...
    1
  16009. Haven't found one to film yet myself. https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2017/5/1/the-m2-submachine-gun/
    1
  16010. That would have required a complete redesign of the gun, which would have taken too much time.
    1
  16011. No.
    1
  16012. That's my tea, and I will have you know that it is absolutely whole milk. You doubting heathen.
    1
  16013. GunBroker, if you're in the US. Outside this country, I can't make any useful suggestions.
    1
  16014. Sure, it just doesn't have as much monetary value as a matching example.
    1
  16015. Prices on GunBroker are in the $500-$800 range at the moment, but that seems highly inflated to me. You should be able to find and original for $300-$400 if you look (there are no reproductions). Most of them will be mismatched, FWIW.
    1
  16016. That's true - this Lebel is also N marked.
    1
  16017. Yes, 1930 production.
    1
  16018. Almost certainly not, because the Lebel has a tube magazine under the barrel.
    1
  16019. TheHomingByrd Not much of the currently-available Lebel ammo is usable. The stuff I've found that works has had blue or black sealant; everything I've tried that had red sealant had been crap (duds and hangfires).
    1
  16020. It shouldn't be that picky about ammo - my best guess would be that you are cycling the action too violently, possibly because gunk in the elevator mechanism is preventing it from rising smoothly with less force applied to the bolt.
    1
  16021. It uses standard 7.62mm AK mags. The 5.56 Valmet mags are expensive, though.
    1
  16022. There is if they have ammo in them; no penalty if they are empty or caused a malfunction.
    1
  16023. Some Patrons get early access to videos.
    1
  16024. For removal of one of the pins.
    1
  16025. There is such a thing, actually. Politicians on one side misuse the term, and in reaction people on the other side decided to pretend that it doesn't actually exist.
    1
  16026. No, it's not.
    1
  16027. Where did you see that Bill Maher follows the channel?
    1
  16028. The M1918 had a safe/semi/full selector; the World War II M1918A2 iteration had safe/slow/fast.
    1
  16029. Yes, as far as I can tell.
    1
  16030. The M1918A2; the World War Two version.
    1
  16031. It's from Varusteleka.
    1
  16032. I brought my own.
    1
  16033. F, not C
    1
  16034. None at all.
    1
  16035. Yes.
    1
  16036. Varusteleka Woolshell
    1
  16037. Yes, except that it won’t fit it’s specialized holster with a can
    1
  16038. It took it off because it was unpleasantly loud and concussive,
    1
  16039. Varusteleka Woolshell
    1
  16040. It was too uncomfortably loud and concussive.
    1
  16041. It's the patch for completing Recon Division at Finnish Brutality this year. Also a play on the band Run DMC.
    1
  16042. Pistol is 9/40/45 and comparables. 5.56 is a rifle cartridge.
    1
  16043. Tilting bolt is generally used to describe a semiauto type of action...I don't know of a good label for this one. It's not quite a falling block or rolling block, but close in principle to both.
    1
  16044. Yes, you can see the irons through the scope mount.
    1
  16045. Yes. "Bbl" is an abbreviation for "barrel".
    1
  16046. I filmed it, but have not published it yet.
    1
  16047. Exactly.
    1
  16048. Custom-molded in-ear plugs. They are great.
    1
  16049. Long range accuracy and the option to convert to 14.5mm for AP use.
    1
  16050. I have - a search on YouTube will bring it up. Also the Solothurn S18-1000 and the PTRD (although no shooting of the PTRD).
    1
  16051. It's South African.
    1
  16052. MY WHAT?
    1
  16053. We only had a small number, and they have all been sold now. Sorry!
    1
  16054. No.
    1
  16055. I did ask them that today...no answer yet.
    1
  16056. No, it's not - there is a link in the description.
    1
  16057. Yes, and given the current rate of sales we expect to sell out in 6-12 months.
    1
  16058. Yup - link is in the description.
    1
  16059. Thanks!
    1
  16060. There was no 9mm Liberator.
    1
  16061. Yes.
    1
  16062. They were never dropped on France. The small numbers that were deployed were mostly in Greece, China, and the Philippines.
    1
  16063. +JohnIbizu Not that I am aware of.
    1
  16064. +RobertoDonatti They may have used the same basic raw material, but the bore diameter was carefully controlled on the Liberator. So if they used actual piston pins, they would have been re-boring the center to get a .450-.452 inch diameter.
    1
  16065. +Jaimy van der Horst Not if you're dropping the ammo with the gun anyway.
    1
  16066. +armlessgnome Nope. There is a storage compartment in the grip for loose cartridges, but no magazine.
    1
  16067. +Jim Fortune A little bit, yeah.
    1
  16068. +CuTThRoaTT G No, this is a new video. I did do one a couple years ago on a reproduction Liberator, though.
    1
  16069. +DoeJam13 Yes, that is correct (I forgot to point it out in the video).
    1
  16070. +BurnThePope0514 I did a video a few years ago on a reproduction Liberator; that's probably what you are thinking of.
    1
  16071. +Shootinputin “Dajkfakk” 185 I did a video on one of the Vintage Ordnance reproductions a few years ago.
    1
  16072. +SuperUncleRyan Simply forgot, sorry. It's not a magazine in the normal sense, just a compartment where you can stash extra cartridges.
    1
  16073. +Anthony Browning It is specifically exempted from the NFA. The reproduction ones have to use rifles barrels, though.
    1
  16074. +Paul McDonagh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dojZx82n73U :)
    1
  16075. +Terjay Yes, I would.
    1
  16076. It was dropped with ammunition, so the caliber really didn't matter.
    1
  16077. Yes.
    1
  16078. +GreyDevil I did a video on one of the Vintage Ordnance reproductions a couple years ago.
    1
  16079. +BushmasterXM15E2S Yes, Vintage Ordnance. And the originals are exempt from the NFA, FYI.
    1
  16080. +RaeSyngKane Yes, I would be willing to fire one in good mechanical condition, provided either I owned it or the owner was okay with me doing so.
    1
  16081. +Primarch359 Scrap, unfortunately.
    1
  16082. Yes.
    1
  16083. PC. Mac, actually (dual-boot).
    1
  16084. Yes, they appear to have mixed the graphics for a British plane with German machine guns.
    1
  16085. American.
    1
  16086. It's a Modele 1890 Berthier, made in 1891.
    1
  16087. Nope.
    1
  16088. Yes, I have played it.
    1
  16089. I'm sure they will be there.
    1
  16090. Yes, definitely.
    1
  16091. MP-18,I then MP-18,II then a bunch of contact-built stuff, then MP-38, then MP-40.
    1
  16092. Have not seen that bit of video.
    1
  16093. It's a US Army 1917 pattern.
    1
  16094. I see Cei Rigotti, I make video. It's that simple. :)
    1
  16095. Good point.
    1
  16096. Modele 1890 Berthier carbine. It will be in the game. :)
    1
  16097. The only appropriate semiauto shotgun would be the Browning Auto-5.
    1
  16098. I have played it, and worked with the developers a little bit.
    1
  16099. I considered that, and decided it was probably not. I'm sure the Fosbury will appear, though.
    1
  16100. A sight sort of like that did exist (it was British), but the gameplay version is pretty wildly exaggerated.
    1
  16101. It's a Winchester 1907 Self-Loader.
    1
  16102. I think so, but I've not seen anyone try it.
    1
  16103. The concept of headspace is the same for all of them. Where they differ is simply what data points are used to measure it.
    1
  16104. I would just make a Glock, because the most important aspects of a military handgun are cost and simplicity. Caliber doesn’t matter.
    1
  16105. That sounds like jacket fragments ricocheting off a steel target.
    1
  16106. Yes, the 52/57 comes from the same lineage (ZB-26).
    1
  16107. The PKM.
    1
  16108. Yes, I spent about 10 days in Finland last month.
    1
  16109. +Harrison Stewart Stay tuned and you will see it next week :)
    1
  16110. Frangibles existed much earlier. For example, frangible .30-06 was used by the US military for training gunners to shoot at aircraft.
    1
  16111. I did, but I sold it.
    1
  16112. The PM63 and the Johnson LMG come to mind...
    1
  16113. Somebody's one-off project.
    1
  16114. We will have them back in stock shortly!
    1
  16115. It's not a buffalo, it's an Elbonian wisent.

  16117. https://youtu.be/jupKqqqgBJM https://youtu.be/gWFX08ay-pE
    1
  16118. +Trey Westcot I seriously consider using the .410 Enfield there, but I don't think it would have been capable of knocking down some of the plates.
    1
  16119. +champimuros No, they do not.
    1
  16120. No.
    1
  16121. My tour was with a private guide (friend of a friend).
    1
  16122. Thanks!
    1
  16123. AR magazines.
    1
  16124. Semiauto.
    1
  16125. He was certainly there; this was filmed in what its now Polenar's retail shop.
    1
  16126. Yes.
    1
  16127. I have used it, and it’s excellent
    1
  16128. I still have a photo of JMB in my wallet.
    1
  16129. No, I don't.
    1
  16130. +GearCheck 101 Yes, it is.
    1
  16131. +Craptacular77 It had no factory serial number.
    1
  16132. +quarktron The Erma gun, yes. I have seen pictures, but not seen one in person.
    1
  16133. Almost certainly because of 922(r)
    1
  16134. I have a patch with that motto on it, because that was the motto for our Finnish Brutality 2-gun match. :)
    1
  16135. Yes, I know.
    1
  16136. No, not really.
    1
  16137. The first time I did it the video was not usable, so I did it again. :)
    1
  16138. Yes.
    1
  16139. No, smashing it against a post is. That's one shot snippet out of this full video: https://youtu.be/YQ451lbKW0o
    1
  16140. Yup! (well, not the rifle)
    1
  16141. Black right now, FDE will follow in about 2 weeks.
    1
  16142. Appreciate it!
    1
  16143. Working on it...
    1
  16144. "Musket" was Winchester's name for the long barrel and full length stock style, because it resembled the old muskets.
    1
  16145. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL9JKassTD4
    1
  16146. Just a model name. They are all rifled.
    1
  16147. Yes, starting in about a week and a half.
    1
  16148. Personal preference - Winchester offered a wide array of standard and custom configurations, so you could buy whatever you happened to like best.
    1
  16149. An original RP46 would be a C&R gun, but it would also be a machine gun, and regulated under the NFA as such.
    1
  16150. From C&Rsenal.
    1
  16151. I agree. I would point out, however, that the RP46 top cover works equally well on semiauto and full auto guns.
    1
  16152. The subtitles are generated automatically and also by viewers - I have no hand in them.
    1
  16153. Only Luty's SMG.
    1
  16154. It will, but I;'m not sure when. I was hoping it would be by the time I published this, but no dice.
    1
  16155. I do not know.
    1
  16156. It's probably Napoleon III. :)
    1
  16157. Dr. MJOLNIR Nobody; they entered the public domain long ago.
    1
  16158. +Willy Bee I have no idea, sorry...
    1
  16159. +ReNeyer That's fine, but I use Gau because that is the terminology used in all the original documentation describing the Volksgewehr manufacture.
    1
  16160. Price.
    1
  16161. It's right there in the description text...
    1
  16162. It was a way to lighten the gun. The fluting allows the jacket to be thinner without losing structural integrity.
    1
  16163. Thanks!
    1
  16164. The Americans used the Hotchkiss 1914 primarily.
    1
  16165. Hotchkiss was also started by an American, although he was dead by the time WW1 broke out.
    1
  16166. 556deltawolf For use in vehicles, a belt made of 3-round strip segments was made.
    1
  16167. +BLAZED ALIEN Correct, shit had been around long before Edison.
    1
  16168. +MakeMeThinkAgain Level ground is nice when you can find it.
    1
  16169. Wilbo Baggins It's not a heavy. Different effect on the war.
    1
  16170. HaakonTheViking I have been on the lookout for an affordable Norwegian Krag to add to my own collection, and when I find one, I will definitely do a video on it.
    1
  16171. Ronin T New look?
    1
  16172. knifeguy They didn't really have much impact on the war, given when they actually appeared on the battlefield.
    1
  16173. +Cory R They were shooting at nothing. That experiment was run when the British military had just adopted the 7.62 NATO cartridge, so stocks of .303 were considered obsolete and needed to be destroyed or used up.
    1
  16174. Oliver Gilkes It was from Dolf Goldsmith's "The Devil's Paintbrush"
    1
  16175. tg01millmorer Yes, it was.
    1
  16176. PANZERDRIVER1 Sounds like "Our World War" form the BBC.
    1
  16177. Dan Morgan Right about 100 pounds with mount.
    1
  16178. +Anonymous surfer Not forever, but the issue is not overheating. The friction of bullets passing down the rifling will wear on the inside of the barrel, and barrels do have limited lifespans. On these water-cooled guns, the barrel life was 10,000-20,000 rounds, depending on how fast they were being fired (even with water cooling, they will get hotter when fired fast than slow).
    1
  16179. petpeeves117 To extend that perspective, consider that the AR15 is older today than the Spencer was in 1914.
    1
  16180. Robert Thomas That's an American tripod; the French ones had only a limited traverse.
    1
  16181. "The Devil's Paintbrush" by Dolf Goldsmith.
    1
  16182. ***** No, not yet.
    1
  16183. Jon Beaulieu The problem is that I don't know the first thing about swords, so I wouldn't have anything useful to say about them.
    1
  16184. insertjjs It's in the description - "The Devil's Paintbrush" by Dolf Goldsmith.
    1
  16185. Dominatus Both sides used 37mm Maxim guns (usually called "pom-poms" because of their slower rate of fire).
    1
  16186. ted mans Dolf Goldsmith's "The Devil's Paintbrush" (it's in the description)
    1
  16187. Nard Wit Nat a specific video, although I did a 2-gun match recently pitting an SMLE against a K98 Mauser.
    1
  16188. chapmasi Yep. Fantastic place, and I look forward to a return visit.
    1
  16189. Check out the RIA video link in the description. It covers shooting this, a 4-bore, a .700 NE, and a .460 NE.
    1
  16190. But less powerful, as they are black powder cartridges and the .950 JDJ is designed for smokeless pressures.
    1
  16191. No.
    1
  16192. The A-10 Warthog II has a 30mm version of the minigun.
    1
  16193. I explain this in the video…
    1
  16194. It was already in production for the British.
    1
  16195. Nope
    1
  16196. Rock Island Auction Company (which I do not work for, FYI) is not associated with Rock Island the gun manufacturer - and neither are associated with the US Rock Island Arsenal.
    1
  16197. Nope, never happened.
    1
  16198. I recorded several videos at the Royal Armouries with poorly set gain on the mic, and this is the last of them to publish.
    1
  16199. It's because they were all filmed on the same day, with the same incorrect microphone settings.
    1
  16200. Nope.
    1
  16201. I recorded several videos at the Royal Armouries with poorly set gain on the mic, and this is the last of them to publish.
    1
  16202. I recorded several videos at the Royal Armouries with poorly set gain on the mic, and this is the last of them to publish.
    1
  16203. I recorded several videos at the Royal Armouries with poorly set gain, and this is the last of them to publish.
    1
  16204. This is owned by the Royal Armouries, not ARES.
    1
  16205. I recorded several videos at the Royal Armouries with poorly set gain on the mic, and this is the last of them to publish.
    1
  16206. With this design, the pressure is basically gone once the projectile leaves the cartridge case, so a longer barrel wouldn't provide any benefit.
    1
  16207. No, sintering is very different from metal-injection molding.
    1
  16208. I guess you'll find out tomorrow morning... ;)
    1
  16209. A modernized FAMAS.
    1
  16210. I have yet to have any problems with brass cased M193 in mine.
    1
  16211. Thank you, and yes.
    1
  16212. Last I looked, they were $40...they must have finally sold out.
    1
  16213. Apparently; last time I looked it was $40.
    1
  16214. Yes, they generally charge a fee for the transfer service.
    1
  16215. Same model; not the exact same gun.
    1
  16216. C&Rsenal.
    1
  16217. It is a single action only pistol.
    1
  16218. Yes, you will find it linked in the video description.
    1
  16219. It's a roller-delayed 1911. 'Nuff said.
    1
  16220. Thanks!
    1
  16221. Yes, that is how auction companies make money.
    1

  16223. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/french-f2-fleece-shirt-cce-surplus/65045
    1
  16224. In many cases, yes. But pistols were also issued as personal weapons to groups like artillery crews and machine gun crews.
    1
  16225. Yup, that's the word I was looking for.
    1
  16226. Yup, that's the word.
    1
  16227. Yup, that's the one.
    1
  16228. That would pretty much be a Sterling...
    1
  16229. None, it never left the prototype stage. The issued silent Stens were the MkII(S) and Mk5(S).
    1
  16230. They are very smooth, but do take a bit of force.
    1
  16231. Yeah, they definitely went the extra distance. The result is really a lot better than almost any other type of stripper clip.
    1
  16232. It's a shot timer.
    1
  16233. That's the trigger mechanism clicking around.
    1
  16234. Yup.
    1
  16235. It's 8mm Steyr.
    1
  16236. Can't eject a round without letting the bolt close, and I wouldn't push the now-full stank in the magazine down far enough to let the bolt close.
    1
  16237. My understanding it quite the opposite; that they are built like tanks. Russian or American tanks, anyway, not late-war German tanks.
    1
  16238. I believe so.
    1
  16239. It's a UM-84. It can be set up for either left or right handed use, and fits almost all service pistols - I'm really happy with it.
    1
  16240. Perun is outstanding.
    1
  16241. Yes, I have. It is very well done.
    1
  16242. +TheCoyote808 No, these are in a private collection. The SIG museum auctioned off a bunch of its duplicates years ago, and that's where these came from.
    1
  16243. +STB 1971 The charging handle assembly doesn't reciprocate when shooting.
    1

    1
  16246. 20mm.
    1
  16247. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
    1
  16248. Nope. :)
    1
  16249. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
    1
  16250. Yep.
    1
  16251. You can have the second one. I call dibs on the first one.
    1
  16252. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
    1
  16253. Thanks!
    1
  16254. That's an Inkunzi PAW, and it's a 20mm grenade launcher, not a shotgun.
    1
  16255. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
    1
  16256. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
    1
  16257. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
    1
  16258. Sorry, but not on this trip.
    1
  16259. NTW-20.
    1
  16260. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
    1
  16261. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.

  16263. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
    1
  16264. They begin later this month and will be spread across 6-8 months. I queue videos a month or more in advance.
    1
  16265. Yep, it is.
    1
  16266. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
    1
  16267. That's an Inkunzi PAW, aka Neopup. It's a 20mm shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
    1
  16268. I suspect they would be considered AOWs if live in the US, and probably nothings when deactivated or fired. But these are not in the US.
    1
  16269. Zero.
    1
  16270. The v-spring could be used in a blowback mechanism. Its problems are that it's a lot more expensive to make than a coil spring, and I suspect it has a shorter service life.
    1
  16271. No.
    1
  16272. Thanks!
    1
  16273. Combat? No.
    1
  16274. You have to click on the premier auction first, otherwise the search defaults to the upcoming online-only sale.
    1
  16275. The Bond/Boberg is bigger and semiauto.
    1
  16276. Nope - not yet, anyway.
    1
  16277. Do not use Tokarev in a C96.
    1
  16278. Inside the front cover.
    1
  16279. Some, but not all.
    1
  16280. No. I checked a while back, and there is no trademark registered for "Elbonia". Similarly, I think there is no chance of someone selling my Elbonia videos and thinking that I write Dilbert, nor that Scott Adams runs Forgotten Weapons. The name was not actually taken from Dilbert, but rather it has the characteristics of a realistic-sounding small fake European nation.
    1
  16281. +kartavya go swami It doesn't; it's a blowback design.
    1
  16282. You make it from .44 AMP
    1
  16283. Yes, the bolt was identical. The caliber change only required a different barrel.
    1
  16284. Using a cartridge not based on the .44 AMP would require a new bolt with different dimensions.
    1
  16285. Solid copper has to be much longer to get the same weight as lead. That reduces case capacity.
    1
  16286. Similar, but that was a Margolin .22
    1
  16287. No, it's not.
    1
  16288. Webley-Fosbery.
    1
  16289. No, the AA12 is totally different.
    1
  16290. +Grim821 The patents are expired, so you don't need to pay for them. The gun sold most recently for $135,000. The design documents are long gone.
    1
  16291. +shexdensmore The patents involved in this design are all expired, so anyone could make one if they wanted to.
    1
  16292. It fires semi auto without use of the pump handle.
    1
  16293. +karm42yn The drum isn't as heavy as it looks, because it's made of an aluminum alloy. I didn't get the exact weight, though.
    1
  16294. +OneTallOrder Unfortunately, I do not.
    1
  16295. +acr2121 Yes, it is a transferable machine gun. It was made before 1986, when you could still manufacture and register such things.
    1
  16296. +1959Edsel Yes, I think it would - but under recoil from firing it would be hard to do.
    1
  16297. +El Terrible SoCal The front handguard IS off an MP5SD...
    1
  16298. +Andrew McCarney Yeah, the patents are expired.
    1
  16299. +megaben99 Actually, I have a Q&A segment on it in Thursday's video.
    1
  16300. +Backtoast the outstanding Citizen Obviously, it stands for "Silent Death".
    1
  16301. +FiveTwoSevenTHR Not much market for them, I expect.
    1
  16302. +hawk6111 Well, you are welcome to try to buy it from the current owner and shoot it...
    1
  16303. +Dr. MJOLNIR Nobody, anymore - it has expired.
    1
  16304. +Tom Sefton Thanks! I have handled a Dardick, but not shot one. I have a handful of trounds in my ammo stash for when the opportunity arises, though.
    1
  16305. It is a prototype; tool room or not is a vague question of terminology.
    1
  16306. +kirkitiscool Albuquerque, IIRC.
    1
  16307. No, they are run by a city, county, or state, which gives them a budget to spend on all their expenses. They buy guns just like they buy vehicles, uniforms, or office supplies.
    1
  16308. Nope. Sorry. I would like to have one too, FWIW.
    1
  16309. That's a Russian PPS-43.
    1
  16310. Nope.
    1
  16311. I think we have too many gun laws already, and we should make sure none of the proposed new ones pass.
    1
  16312. No, they were not developed early enough to get in before the '89 import ban, and nobody has decided to build them in the US,
    1
  16313. Very small boxes. ;)
    1
  16314. No, you cannot buy them in the US (as a general rule). This particular one was purchased by a police department for testing.
    1
  16315. This one was purchased by a police department.
    1
  16316. The Johnson was also in development at the end of the war, FWIW.
    1
  16317. Not really.
    1
  16318. JägerLP The 1871 Mauser was an excellent rifle, just not the first of its kind.
    1
  16319. ...so don't watch?
    1
  16320. Nope.
    1
  16321. I explained this in the video, you know...
    1
  16322. Yes, it can. Not a delayed blowback system.
    1
  16323. Oh yes, there are a bunch more videos coming.
    1
  16324. Probably because Winchester made a zillion M1917 Enfields during WWI.
    1
  16325. This really not a particularly complex design.
    1
  16326. It actually sold for closer to $30k, IIRC.
    1
  16327. Sure, admin@forgottenweapons.com

  16328. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-tst-verikauha-field-cap/51288
    1
  16329. Nope, the front and rear sights match.
    1
  16330. In some places perhaps, but where I live we have a few places that are state-owned land used specifically for shooting (but without any formal infrastructure).

    1
  16333. They are; you can buy one right now (aside form this one being auctioned off): http://www.cheytac.com/shop/firearms/m200-intervention/
    1
  16334. Ikea :)
    1
  16335. No, it is much too heavy.
    1
  16336. No.
    1
  16337. No, the caliber is too small.
    1
  16338. 6.5 Creedmore
    1
  16339. Mine weighs 7.75 pounds with scope and sling, 8.1 pounds if you add 5 rounds of ammunition. Not including suppressor.
    1
  16340. What is your source for all this?
    1
  16341. It has no translation; it's the designers name.
    1
  16342. Yes, that video is filmed and coming.
    1
  16343. +not a cat Everyone does that; it's for seeing how many rounds are in the mag.
    1
  16344. +sadf fdsa Unfortunately, it is most likely all duds, like the vast majority of surplus in that caliber.
    1
  16345. The OSS was involved in the Liberator single shot .45; the 9mm Deer Gun was made by the CIA.
    1
  16346. The issue is that for every one person why can read Cyrillic and sees gibberish, there are 10 or 20 who see "Russian" and decide to watch the video because of it.
    1
  16347. Because that's the part that does the real work here.
    1
  16348. +AHCC Cerakote and Custom Firearms Nope, way over my budget.
    1
  16349. +Thomas Jackson Nope.
    1
  16350. +Muhammad Najmi No, the Schnellfeuer was actually inspired by the full-auto Spanish copies of the C96 being sold in China in the early 1930s.
    1
  16351. +Adam Campbell I don't know of any live-fire footage of a Mauser 06/08.
    1
  16352. skribzy1157 Correct, these are pistols.
    1
  16353. It's a long stroke piston.
    1
  16354. tillmannfischer Not to be too contrarian, but I would totally shoot this every day if it were mine. :)
    1
  16355. Well, because it's not actually an StG-44...
    1
  16356. They are the same caliber; 8x33mm.
    1
  16357. There are minor differences, but they are basically the same.
    1
  16358. Yes.
    1
  16359. Douilleur Lamagouille Yes, some of the same people were involved, and the external layout of the guns is the same. The locking mechanism came from some experiments with the G43, though, not further development of the StG series. As for being ahead of its time, I think that the early CETME variants (along with their rather interesting cartridge) are more innovative than the G3.
    1
  16360. That's exactly why I did a video on it - because very few of us will have the chance to see one in person.
    1
  16361. Not in my experience - the springs often need replacing today on original mags, but the bodies are just fine.
    1
  16362. Yes, but not for free.
    1
  16363. Send it to me!
    1
  16364. Yup!
    1
  16365. Because a weapon does not have to be flawless or even really good to be historically significant and worth understanding.
    1
  16366. Yep, very true.
    1
  16367. +Pål “Trønder” Lindsetmo I would prefer a DI rifle over a gas piston in an AR, personally. Just because that's how the system was initially designed.
    1

  16370. +ReconO7 Yes, and yes.
    1
  16371. +Aric Cartman I have an Ascaso, just haven't done a video on it yet.
    1
  16372. +Zachary Groves Yup.
    1
  16373. +leftcoaster67 Nope, I don't think so. Wouldn't help you cross No Man's Land, wouldn't get you through wire, etc. Being more effective once in enemy trenches is only a minor element in the grand scheme of things.
    1
  16374. +Nikolaj Kazakov admin@forgottenweapons.com
    1
  16375. +xmeda I do.
    1
  16376. Correct.
    1
  16377. Sadly, no.
    1
  16378. There's no cartridge case, so there is no headspace.
    1
  16379. Submachine guns generally don't get much benefit from them.
    1
  16380. Long before.
    1
  16381. +Mad Maxian You bought an import make, refurbished Russian one, as opposed to an unmarked, unrefurbished, Polish one.
    1
  16382. +Fat Bastard TV Military weapons from Russia are illegal to import here.
    1
  16383. +Fat Bastard TV Simple economics. Because they are not able to be imported anymore the supply is limited. The demand is high, so the prices rises to match.
    1
  16384. +Fat Bastard TV I suspect you are in Canada, and you bought an SVT-40.
    1
  16385. True - good point!
    1
  16386. Yeah, I will do that next time. I wasn't really thinking about the video during the presentation.
    1
  16387. Heh...no, there won't be a shop tour at RJF.
    1
  16388. Match requirement.
    1
  16389. It was brand new and untouched.
    1
  16390. It helped that the demo example at SHOT actually worked. And that I wasn't trying to do anything with it on the clock.
    1
  16391. In all honesty, I generally do not do anything to brand new guns except pull them out of the box and start shooting. For example, the CETME-L rifles and the FG-42 I have filmed in the past few months.
    1
  16392. The gun had a nice light coat of oil as it arrived in the box.
    1
  16393. I expect more expensive guns to work right out of the box too.
    1
  16394. I don't use a lot of brand new guns, but that is how I treat all of them. The ones that I can recall offhand are the Bul Armory M5 and Manurhin MR-73, but of which were zeroed and 100% functional right out of the box.
    1
  16395. I have no control over the content of the ads, sorry.
    1
  16396. People are inexorably drawn to cheap.
    1
  16397. Why do you hate granny?
    1
  16398. 380
    1
  16399. The original printing is sold out, but it is being reprinted now for 2017.
    1
  16400. The two cartridges are virtually identical. The first Spanish use was with the Bergmann-Mars pistol, which was definitely made for 9mm Bergmann.
    1
  16401. https://youtu.be/Vg2fSD2Vl58
    1
  16402. https://youtu.be/Vg2fSD2Vl58
    1
  16403. Yes, we have some over on InRange.
    1
  16404. Yep, he did.
    1
  16405. It is an export model.
    1
  16406. Yes.
    1
  16407. No, they only used standard 30-round mags.
    1
  16408. Correct. There are various regulations and limitations on what you can hunt and when, but no specific ban on scuba.
    1
  16409. I actually don't have any issues with my beard and the mask.
    1
  16410. No, it's only open to military personnel right now because of covid.
    1
  16411. No, not that I am aware of.
    1
  16412. Thanks!
    1
  16413. This is true - I am only looking at 1866 and newer.
    1
  16414. No, they sold out almost immediately.
    1
  16415. https://shop.bbtv.com/products/unisex-t-shirt-51
    1
  16416. Regular BAR mags are not very good mags. They work in the BAR, but not in actions with shorter bolt travel.
    1
  16417. Thanks :)
    1
  16418. If/when I get to Israel, I would like to.
    1
  16419. Thanks!
    1
  16420. The video is filmed, but has not published yet.
    1
  16421. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/machine-pistols/lercker-machine-pistol/
    1
  16422. That's the rate reducer working.
    1
  16423. That's...really not how it worked at all.
    1
  16424. Alas, neither of the ranges that host 2-Gun matches allow full auto. :(
    1
  16425. To make sure ATF doesn't decide the upper is a machine gun all by itself.
    1
  16426. itsconnorstime Chile.
    1
  16427. Yes, those were for poles, to allow two men to easily carry the gun and mount together.
    1
  16428. I don't have any data on production time, unfortunately. In theory, it should be possible to compare sale prices on the guns, since most of them were offered for commercial sale at one time or another. That would require a lot of currency adjustment though, to account for different decades and different buying and selling currencies.
    1
  16429. A Comp-Tac OWB that I bought over a decade ago.
    1
  16430. I can shoot reasonably well with either hand, but I'm better with my left.
    1
  16431. GJWD WWSD
    1
  16432. Nope.
    1
  16433. Nice!
    1
  16434. They are not in business anymore.
    1
  16435. The shorter length of pull of the Spuhr stock makes a big difference in the balance.
    1
  16436. Sorry, but no
    1
  16437. It would be fun - the geographical distance makes it a tricky proposition though.
    1
  16438. Most likely it was shipped to Russia in 1915 or thereabouts, then bought or captured by the Finns, and then surplussed by Finland and bought by an American importer.
    1
  16439. Nope.
    1
  16440. I would happy to do a collaboration; the geographical distance makes it problematic though.
    1
  16441. DSA. Nothing special.
    1
  16442. If you would like to contribute via PayPal, my address is admin@forgottenweapons.com . Thanks!
    1
  16443. As soon as I get one...
    1
  16444. The FG was designed specifically to be a weapon that could be jumped with, because separate weapons cannisters were a terrible idea.
    1
  16445. No, it belongs to a friend.

    1
  16448. The FG was designed specifically to be a weapon that could be jumped with, because separate weapons cannisters were a terrible idea.
    1
  16449. The FG was designed to make weapons containers unnecessary.

  16451. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-tst-l4-combat-shirt/51304
    1
  16452. Yup.
    1
  16453. The whole point of the FG-42 was to develop a rifle that the paratroops would drop with, because the weapons canisters were problematic.
    1
  16454. The whole point of the FG-42 was to develop a rifle that the paratroops would drop with, because the weapons canisters were problematic.
    1
  16455. FWIW, the original FG-42s have the same extremely stiff charging. It's because you are rechecking the firing pin spring and unlocking the bolt at the same time.
    1
  16456. Is the safety on? Never try to open the action with the safety engaged.
    1
  16457. Thanks!
    1
  16458. It also happens to be an indoor shooting range. :)
    1
  16459. Sure, until you forget which tube was buckshot and which was beanbags.
    1
  16460. It certainly could be.
    1
  16461. Same pace as always, one video each day.
    1
  16462. The shotgun was his first design, and the PAW one of his most recent. The shotgun was a big learning experience for him, which we discuss in the interview I am posting next week.
    1
  16463. The barrel moves with the hand guard, so your hand never actually gets any closer to the muzzle.
    1
  16464. Yes.
    1
  16465. It was filmed in South Africa.
    1
  16466. Yes, his family is Greek.
    1
  16467. You will enjoy the interview with him that I am posting next week. :)
    1
  16468. Not yet, but it's coming.
    1
  16469. It's Varusteleka woolshell.
    1
  16470. Yes.
    1
  16471. https://youtu.be/x8Nj3VAhNhM
    1
  16472. They will do the transfer to your dealer - they have an SOT themselves.
    1
  16473. Varusteleka woolshell.
    1
  16474. Don't pay attention to the estimates, pay attention to what the market price of the guns really are. Most of the ones I have watched are going at about retail, but there have been some good deals.
    1
  16475. I think that's more to remind you which way to put it in the case and which way to hold it. Consistency is important, lest you accidentally shoot yourself with it.
    1
  16476. WWSD, no question.
    1
  16477. Given that the .30 Carbine is more powerful than .357 Magnum, do you believe those stories?
    1
  16478. "Assault weapon" is a term created by legislation; "assault rifle" is a legitimate technical term.
    1
  16479. Yes.
    1
  16480. No, he said "man"
    1
  16481. Clearly you have never seen the inside of a Suomi.
    1
  16482. It's been there for a long time, because the seller wants about double the market value.
    1
  16483. Because we don't have a letter for "sh".
    1
  16484. The high rate of fire sounds like a burp.
    1
  16485. The Suomi, because its mags always work.
    1
  16486. It's the result of mediocre surplus ammunition.
    1
  16487. There are none.
    1
  16488. Yes.
    1
  16489. There is a disconnector; it's subtle and clever and I neglected to point it out in the video. http://www.forgottenweapons.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/sear-diagrams.jpg
    1
  16490. The difference is that a locked breech cannot be opened simply by pressure on the breechface (short of breaking something).
    1
  16491. I doubt that any other designers were aware of the Maxim/Silverman pistols, because they really never went past prototype stage.
    1
  16492. Tough decisions! :D
    1
  16493. Thanks!
    1
  16494. It's a day ending in "Y", so it's a work day. :)
    1
  16495. Thanks! I worked as a bartender for several years.
    1
  16496. Yes, it is.
    1
  16497. To make cocktails with, duh.
    1
  16498. None. The plate fell because after deflecting, the spalling from the bullet shredded the wooden support.
    1
  16499. It fell over because the spall from the deflected round shredded the wooden support holding it up.
    1
  16500. Well, he was the one who fired the first shot.
    1
  16501. You realize I made the Kolibri video years before BF1, and it's that video that DICE used to put the gun in the game, right?
    1
  16502. The plate I used was 1/2" (12.7mm); the original British tank armor was 12mm.
    1
  16503. No, they did not.
    1
  16504. He owns the rifle.
    1
  16505. None, actually.
    1
  16506. I just call it what Mauser and the German military called it.
    1
  16507. Didn't want to abuse my shoulder.
    1
  16508. I would happily do more if you want to provide some more ammunition.
    1
  16509. That's exactly what I did, considering that I only had two cartridges.
    1
  16510. Recoil is brutal when firing prone.
    1
  16511. I must some sort of moron.
    1
  16512. And I didn't use it for a reason.
    1
  16513. Nope.
    1
  16514. You ever shoot a Tankgewehr prone? It seriously sucks.
    1
  16515. Didn't want to abuse my shoulder.
    1
  16516. And the German word for the Mauser M1918 rifle was "tankgewehr".
    1
  16517. It works great with normal rifles.
    1
  16518. Shooting the tankgewehr prone really sucks for your shoulder.
    1
  16519. Pythagorean Theorem, on a right triangle with sides A and B of length 1. Hypotenuse is root 2 in length.
    1
  16520. Forward-facing flat.
    1
  16521. No, because it was only after the bullet was deflected that its fragments hit the wooden supports.
    1
  16522. Have you ever fired one prone?
    1
  16523. You misunderstand the sequence of events. The supports were only destroyed after the bullet had been deflected.
    1
  16524. First dude who shoots is the owner.
    1
  16525. Didn't want to abuse my shoulder.
    1
  16526. Didn't want to destroy my shoulder.
    1
  16527. If you say so...
    1
  16528. British tanks of WW1 did not have sloped armor.
    1
  16529. I had 2 rounds. If you want to supply me some more ammunition, I would be happy to do more testing.
    1
  16530. Why would you expect that a large cartridge would make a good precision weapon?
    1
  16531. They would have used the bipod.
    1
  16532. Recoil is brutal when shooting prone, and I didn't want to deal with it. The tripod works great with normal rifles, and we did not realize it would be a problem with this one until the first shot was fired.
    1
  16533. Clearly you have never shot one prone.
    1
  16534. Yes.
    1
  16535. The machine gun development was not finished by the time the war ended.
    1
  16536. I explain that in the video.
    1
  16537. The owner was the guy who fired the first shot.
    1
  16538. Well, they do occasionally show up at auctions like Rock Island and James Julia...I would expect to pay 8-10 grand.
    1
  16539. Yes, the Germans were working on a 13.2mm Maxim when the war ended.
    1
  16540. I take it you have fired one prone?
    1
  16541. I see you didn't actually watch the video.
    1
  16542. I suppose I should flattered that you actually thought I would have a real Mk IV tank...
    1
  16543. You misunderstand the timing of what happened. The plate stayed stationary until after the bullet deflected, at which time the fragments shredded the wooden supports, which allowed the plate to fall over from gravity.
    1
  16544. There were no long careers in WWI front lines...
    1
  16545. I wish! :)
    1
  16546. The semiauto Suomis are a huge disappointment if you have ever used a real one.
    1
  16547. 7.9375mm
    1
  16548. No.
    1
  16549. Sure
    1
  16550. One km/sec iss 3280 fps...a 20" AR15 will achieve that velocity...
    1
  16551. ArcFlash has details about this on their web site, FWIW.
    1
  16552. https://arcflashlabs.com/product/emg-02/
    1
  16553. No.
    1
  16554. None.
    1
  16555. Probably, but there's no need to - Starline has been making 7.65 French brass for a couple years now.
    1
  16556. Probably, but there's no need to - Starline has been making 7.65 French brass for a couple years now.
    1
  16557. No, it wouldn't feed in the magazines reliably.

    1
  16559. They hope not.
    1
  16560. Thanks for the sub!
    1
  16561. Interesting question...
    1
  16562. No need; Starline has been making 7.65 French brass for a couple years now.
    1
  16563. Probably, but there's no need to - Starline has been making 7.65 French brass for a couple years now.
    1
  16564. Nighthawk has 1911s in .30SC.
    1
  16565. Probably, but there's no need to - Starline has been making 7.65 French brass for a couple years now.
    1
  16566. Pressure and energy are not the same thing. They may have the same approximate peak pressure, but there is a massively larger case volume at that pressure in .50 BMG, which translates into vastly more actual energy.
    1
  16567. Nighthawk offers a 1911 in .30SC (12 round capacity).
    1
  16568. There's no need to - Starline has been making 7.65 French brass for a couple years now.
    1
  16569. James over at TFBTV did exactly that test today with a bunch of shooters.
    1
  16570. Probably, but there's no need to - Starline has been making 7.65 French brass for a couple years now.
    1
  16571. Probably, but there's no need to - Starline has been making 7.65 French brass for a couple years now.
    1
  16572. They sent me the gun, but did not pay me a dime.
    1
  16573. Lugerman.com - have a look.
    1
  16574. If you use a gun in self-defense, it will typically be confiscated as evidence. It will probably, but not necessarily, be returned when the investigation is complete.
    1
  16575. Yeah, it happens.
    1
  16576. It would be the Maxim.
    1
  16577. I like it a lot.
    1
  16578. The main requirements for becoming an arms manufacturing location historically were local access to high quality iron ore, fuel (coal), and water for power and transportation.
    1
  16579. It only works for monthly subscriptions, not annual.
    1
  16580. It works on any desktop browser, and on as many different devices as you would like to download the app onto.
    1
  16581. Othais and Mae have any open invitation to join us any time.
    1
  16582. It's only valid for monthly, not annual signups.
    1
  16583. The backend of our system is run by Vimeo, one of the best and largest streaming video providers. It runs smooth and fast.
    1
  16584. It's only valid for monthly, not annual signups.
    1
  16585. Thanks!
    1
  16586. It's only valid for monthly, not annual signups.
    1
  16587. There were two already announced in Patreon, depending on which tier you are in.
    1
  16588. As you can see at the end of this video, the .303 clearly does have the ability to do so.
    1
  16589. Yep, the bullet exited the muzzle.
    1
  16590. Ona properly designed cock-on-closing rifle, it would not be possible. If would be possible to design one in such a way that it would be fired unlocked - although there is no reason anyone would build a design like that.
    1
  16591. We had it set up in normal firing mode - I don't think that the difference between having the mag cutoff in use or not wouldn't have made a practical difference.
    1
  16592. That rear sight is normal military issue.
    1
  16593. No, there's no way that could happen.
    1
  16594. Goldmarble is correct. The early semiauto comversions of bolt action rifles pretty much all involved adding a gas piston to operate the bolt, and fired from a normal locked position.
    1
  16595. I have a manual for the ZfK55, but I haven't had the chance to put my hands on one or shoot one (yet). If and when I do, I will definitely put together a video in it.
    1
  16596. No, I haven't done a video on the Ross Mk II yet.
    1
  16597. The bolt stop would not be easy to accidentally flip, and if it did happen it would most likely just change from magazine fed to single loading. Even if it were left open, it would only allow the bolt to come out when the shooter cycled it, not when the gun fired.
    1
  16598. +NAFmunchausen Yes, it just needed a new bolt head. Well, and a new stock and hardware, but those were missing from when I first got it.
    1
  16599. +thelasthostage I have not.
    1
  16600. Nope, both 5 rounds.
    1
  16601. +William Huston Yes, it is.
    1
  16602. That's a Varusteleka Woolshell jacket: https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-tst-woolshell-jacket/59958
    1
  16603. Or about 8 Taurus pistols!
    1
  16604. If you really think I should "get a normal job" then you should stop watching my work . If I couldn't afford to do this full time, I would not be able to produce the content I produce, and you wouldn't be able to watch it.
    1
  16605. They got exactly what is posted in YouTube's FAQ, which is uselessly vague.
    1
  16606. I want as many people as possible to see it, so I monetized it. Ironic, no?
    1
  16607. English video is linked in the description.
    1
  16608. Its a French jacket.
    1
  16609. Nope.
    1
  16610. Double feed.
    1
  16611. 9mm Parabellum.
    1
  16612. Yes, 9mm Parabellum.
    1
  16613. Pretty high.
    1
  16614. Typically one or two other people do, but the vast majority are modern. Mostly ARs.
    1
  16615. Un petit peut...
    1
  16616. Good eye, but no. That was a folded piece of paper I had wedged inside to keep the crank handle in the rearward position. It would normally stay there, but without the lock in the gun the handle wanted to tip forward.
    1
  16617. In this case, it is exempt from the NFA.
    1
  16618. I suspect the elevation gearing mechanism was lost at some point, and this was a much simpler replacement for a display piece.
    1
  16619. Srs iz gr8
    1
  16620. They are cheaper.
    1
  16621. Really depends why you are buying it.
    1
  16622. Bought the Italian one; was given the Australian ones.
    1
  16623. Chassepot artillery musketoon.
    1
  16624. No.
    1
  16625. Yes, and I am on the lookout for a chance to film both a PTRD and a PTRS on the range. Hasn't happened yet, but I'm sure it will eventually.
    1
  16626. No, because I do not want to have Imperial entanglements over ITAR.
    1
  16627. https://youtu.be/OoIMw5oF_W0
    1
  16628. If the receiver is intact, it must be treated as a complete firearm.
    1
  16629. This requirement only applies to surplus military firearms.
    1
  16630. Generally speaking, no. They are not considered sporting arms.
    1
  16631. Gras rifles are antiques, so that's a start. The export process is basically the same, just reversing the permits. I have not done a US export permit myself, but Polaris could certainly handle it for you.
    1
  16632. If the airline allows it, yes. Still not a bad idea to have a customs broker meet you at your port of entry to smooth the customs process.
    1
  16633. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_of_War
    1
  16634. No - FR-G2.
    1
  16635. FR-G2 :)
    1
  16636. Yes, at some point. I promise.
    1
  16637. Sorry, but I don't know the answers to those questions. You might try asking Polaris...
    1
  16638. No, that is my FR-G2.
    1
  16639. Some countries are banned specifically.
    1
  16640. Not at the US end.
    1
  16641. Sorry - I have no control over the ads the YouTube runs.
    1
  16642. Fake "pin" - it's a Troy gun.
    1
  16643. Maybe because PSA didn't make it?
    1
  16644. Yes, definitely. The FG is fun and cool, but the StG is more practical.
    1
  16645. What if you lose a round clearing a malfunction, or reinsert a partially loaded magazine?
    1
  16646. SHOT is intended to be an industry show, for suppliers, wholesalers, and retailers to do business. It is not intended for the general public, and even media attendance is really a necessary inconvenience.
    1
  16647. No, I was not allowed to take photos or video there.

  16650. Not yet. You can sign up for the email notification list at www.FrenchRifleBook.com .
    1
  16651. No.
    1
  16652. Yes.
    1
  16653. This has a fixed magazine. The button you see is the floorplate release, just link in a Mauser 98 pattern rifle.
    1
  16654. Generally not, but it depends on the sales agreement. For example, if a consigner insists on a reserve price higher than the auctioneer thinks is reasonable, they may agree that the consigner will pay a fee is the item doesn't sell, to cover the expenses of photography, shipping, marketing, etc.
    1
  16655. A licensed manufacturer can make a full auto Sten, but they can only transfer it to someone with a demo letter. They would make it (presumably) because Sten parts kits are cheap and they wanted to have it to shoot.
    1
  16656. Just like a modern day one.
    1
  16657. Different angle to the rifle front sight because it has a longer barrel.
    1
  16658. The barrel length is different on the rifle and pistol settings, which means a different angle between the front and rear sights.
    1
  16659. Yes.
    1
  16660. A ZB-26.
    1
  16661. It's at the end of the video.
    1
  16662. Nope, they were really Danish.
    1
  16663. Thanks!
    1
  16664. No.
    1
  16665. Those claims are wrong.
    1
  16666. Only have one of those...
    1
  16667. I am starting my own publishing company and my book will be its first product - so a significant amount of the proceeds go to me.
    1
  16668. Yes.
    1
  16669. Sure, I would indeed be interested to talk to him. My email address is admin@forgottenweapons.com .
    1
  16670. Not yet.
    1
  16671. The Chinese-contract Brens were made by Inglis in Canada during WW2. Originally in 8mm Mauser.
    1
  16672. I bought it in France.
    1
  16673. Yup.
    1
  16674. Thanks!
    1
  16675. Yes, Karl and I split the InRange funds.
    1
  16676. Thanks!
    1
  16677. I have a good video filmed; part of the series I did at the Pattern Room that I mentioned. Not sure when it will publish.
    1
  16678. No, there were not.
    1
  16679. The Beretta museum in Gardone Val Trompia has at least one of them; they are on my list to film when I am able to get there again.
    1
  16680. This information is published in plenty of other places; I'm not revealing any big secrets here.
    1
  16681. One of the contractors that made M1 Carbines was National Postal Meter.
    1
  16682. It is not for sale.
    1
  16683. Yes, this one is real.
    1
  16684. Semiauto only.
    1
  16685. My wife. XD
    1
  16686. I think I was cycling the bolt a bit more energetically. The optics mount is the same one I have in this video.
    1
  16687. Yes.
    1
  16688. You would be British, right? It's simply one of those words that you pronounce different than we do.
    1
  16689. That would not be hot enough to ignite the fuel.
    1
  16690. .38 is 9mm; the Nagant barrel is 7.62mm. This is not a thing.
    1
  16691. That came about around the same time as this design, in the late 1800s.
    1
  16692. I did. Karl beat me with a Single Action Army.

    1
  16697. SR25/PMag
    1
  16698. Because the Alien does not have a positive manual safety.
    1
  16699. Yes, it almost certainly would have.
    1
  16700. 9mm Luger and 9mm Parabellum are the same thing.

  16704. No
    1
  16705. No, roller delay guns only
    1
  16706. No, roller-delayed guns only.
    1
  16707. No, neither.

    1
  16709. Any you even converted some Type 38 Arisakas to look and handle like M1 Carbines. :)
    1
  16710. Early configuration ones are harder to find because most were updated by the US. In general M1 Carbines are not at all hard to find, just expensive because so many people want them.
    1
  16711. There's a link to the merch shop in the video description...
    1
  16712. The M2 was a select-fire version of the M1, and the M3 was an M1 carbine with an infrared night sight fitted.
    1
  16713. Yup, that's correct.
    1
  16714. https://youtu.be/Vg2fSD2Vl58
    1
  16715. Not yet...
    1
  16716. Pretty similar, although the M1 is a locked breech and the 1907 was just blowback. The locked action allowed them to make the M1 significantly lighter.
    1
  16717. Yup.
    1
  16718. There are a few others as well... https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9e3UCcU00TRONUb1gJLS0h6dEgn6JgCj
    1
  16719. That was a late-war addition.
    1
  16720. No, it is not.
    1
  16721. Lol
    1
  16722. Awesome! Glad you like them :)

  16723. A couple hundred are specifically exempted by serial number.

  16724. The Diggers' Dismay: Austen Mk I SMG https://youtu.be/qf6XALbTnik
    1
  16725. Yes.
    1
  16726. I have not filmed one yet, but I plan to the next time I am able to get to the Pattern Room collection.
    1
  16727. Perhaps you could illuminate us as to what makes it Chinese?
    1
  16728. In Latin it means death.
    1
  16729. It's on the plan for my next visit to Poland.
    1
  16730. https://youtu.be/mSH9VvQAvog

    1
  16734. Each state is different and the fact that it is always in your RV does not matter.
    1
  16735. It is considered frame mounted. Laugo has a “Retro” kit for downgrading it to a reciprocating optic for USPSA.
    1
  16736. They are en route right now; we expect them in our warehouse and shipping out to buyers in early November.
    1
  16737. No, it's much more similar to the P7/CCP system.
    1
  16738. Sorry, but no.

  16739. Qian has plates for Trijicon and Acro: https://qianindustries.com/shop
    1
  16740. There was a version before the milled ones, which was not successful in mass production. https://youtu.be/zFagaHLuekQ
    1
  16741. Funny Farmer YouTube does not offer PPV video in Germany; I don't know why. Full30 is available worldwide, though.
    1
  16742. Nope.
    1
  16743. gumby 8888 This is not my hobby, it's my full time job.
    1
  16744. KingJackass Not sufficient to support the InRange project. Full30, OTOH, pays far better and makes things practical for us.
    1
  16745. Slaughtermaster81 Yes, I have looked into it. I don't think it would be an effective method to support InRange...I know it works for some people but I don't think it would work for us.
    1
  16746. TTMR1986 Good idea - done. Thanks!
    1
  16747. AGS363 What country are you in? I added an option for every country YouTube allows, but that's only about two dozen.
    1
  16748. MrGunman11 It's not on YouTube, but you can see my initial trial here: https://www.full30.com/video/abe03b9d294f4f9bfd63585380586167
    1
  16749. It's fairly heavy, and it requires a mount that's built into the stock - not ideal for the WWSD.
    1
  16750. Probably a Neostead.
    1
  16751. I filmed this series a couple months ago.
    1
  16752. Nope.
    1
  16753. Better lighting and camera angle.
    1
  16754. No mechanical skill required. You tap out a pin that holds the pistol backplate in place, put the stock on, and reinsert the pin.
    1
  16755. That would be the PTRS-41 :) https://youtu.be/MQrGqiyTttY
    1
  16756. No, I haven't.
    1
  16757. Not actually used in significant combat operations.
    1
  16758. I don't know...
    1
  16759. One supplied by HMG.
    1
  16760. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3j34rJytl8
    1
  16761. Can you send me a link?
    1
  16762. In the video, it's in the white. It's being blued and then painted this week.
    1
  16763. Yeah, the disassembly procedure (rotate the safety to disassembly position and then slide the whole fire control housing back a few millimeters) is clearly something designed by an engineer who had never really used rifles in the field. HMG tweaked some of the design in their receiver flats to fix a few of the problems in the original, like the magazine feed angle.
    1
  16764. Um...not if you are left handed.
    1
  16765. 5.56mm, roller-delayed blowback (same system as the HK91)
    1
  16766. The HMG flat is lightyears better. http://www.forgottenweapons.com/cetme-l-flats-hmg-vs-prexis/
    1
  16767. Stuff always sounds bigger in echo-y indoor ranges.
    1
  16768. Tulammo .223
    1
  16769. HMG (www.hmgunworks.com). The trigger pack is the original one, with a US-made disconnector and a cut up auto trip. I will be posting a full build tutorial video series on InRange TV shortly.
    1
  16770. The problems are much more significant (for me, IMO) in the CETME-C than the CETME-L.
    1
  16771. I can't say that I am aware of a group with that type of agenda - although I don't spend much time studying what political activism groups are out there. I kinda suspect that if there was a group like that, they would be small and not very influential. Most of the organizations with any clout tend towards the far ends of the spectrum.
    1
  16772. Yes, but still not great. Especially through the LV's rear sight tower.
    1
  16773. It's out until the bluing and painting is done.
    1
  16774. Yeah, it's growing on me.
    1
  16775. Actually, I rather like it. :)
    1
  16776. Legally speaking (at the Federal level; check your own state laws) if you can legally own it, you can legally build it. Building for resale requires a manufacturer's license, though. If I wanted an SBR, I could file the form to manufacture it myself, and then do so when the form was approved. Since new machine guns cannot be manufactured by non-licensees, I can't make it full auto.
    1
  16777. Pretty much...
    1
  16778. Pretty much, yeah.
    1
  16779. No.
    1
  16780. No.
    1
  16781. It's a dealer sample.
    1
  16782. Yep. :)
    1
  16783. No, it does not mention the SCAR at all.
    1
  16784. ***** I don't think many people would actually buy a $4000 VG1-5 repro in 7.62x39. If it were under $1k, probably - but these guns will never be anywhere near that inexpensive, because they will never have the necessary scale of production.
    1
  16785. Yup.
    1
  16786. Yeah, they are. I'd rather have an MP44 if I was going to a gunfight, but the VG1-5 is a neat piece in its own right.
    1
  16787. No, this post-dates the Thompson.
    1
  16788. It's not, although everyone seems to think so for some reason.
    1
  16789. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg2fSD2Vl58
    1
  16790. Yes, you can. Can't remove the bolt carrier with the recoil spring in place, though.
    1
  16791. Yes, the OA93 was sold as a carbine.
    1
  16792. No, because the AWB ended in 2004.
    1
  16793. He cannot; only the US Congress could do that.
    1
  16794. Sam Russell If I can get my hands on one, definitely. They're an interesting gun mechanically, and I would really like the chance to examine one up close.
    1
  16795. kenstr321 Mechanically it has no effect, but it certainly tends to make the shooter flinch, which will have a major impact on how well it can be shot.
    1
  16796. Thanks!
    1
  16797. If we can ship early we will, but I do not want to overpromise. Honestly, September is not likely - sorry!
    1
  16798. I appreciate the offer, but I'm only covering French-designed rifles. The K98ks made under French occupation and captured by the French are not included.
    1
  16799. Sorry, only the collector books are personalized (and they sold out in the first 2 days). With the number of orders we have, it's simply not possible for me to personalize them all.
    1
  16800. Depends how embarrassing it gets. :)
    1
  16801. That was my attempt at a test today, and not done right. The livestream link Friday will go out as a backer update on Kickstarter.
    1
  16802. Yes, it is: https://amzn.to/2W6lXn1
    1
  16803. I have no idea how to fix that - I would suggest first cancelling and re-subscribing, and contacting Patron help if that doesn't work. Sorry!

    1
  16805. "I'm an Adult Now" by Pursuit of Happiness
    1
  16806. Yes, it will.
    1
  16807. +North Florida Gun Guy Nope, that was from a bicycle incident.
    1
  16808. +William Richards 1.052", IIRC. Four-bore rifles all vary a bit, but are approximately 1 inch.
    1
  16809. +zehman11 Only for Harry Turtledove.
    1
  16810. +paintedsoul22 They have to be custom made to match each rifle, and this one was consigned to Julia's with several pieces of brass.
    1
  16811. +rolf ski When a thousand+ pound angry bull animal is 50 feet away and charging, you might wish you had something even bigger...
    1
  16812. +natrone23 No, it's bigger than Burt's double rifle form Tremors.
    1
  16813. +Joel Lopez Believe it or not, it didn't.
    1
  16814. +sergeantbigmac The high speed is from an Edgertronic at 500fps, which is basically 1080 resolution.
    1
  16815. +LT1derland Nope, that was a bicycle incident.
    1
  16816. +ItsCrisp Original ammo is over $100/round, but since all these rifles have slightly different chambers, you pretty much have to handload for shooting. You get cases custom turned on a lathe, mold your own bullets, and assemble. So the cost varies a lot - the bullets are just lead, and the cases are expensive to buy but reusable.
    1
  16817. +conner stines It's simple called 4 bore - it's a 1.05" bore (.700 NE is .7").
    1
  16818. +Manix Member By most technical descriptions, cannons are 20mm and larger...so yeah.
    1
  16819. No, but everyone attending the match gets that patch for free.
    1
  16820. Sorry, it will post Saturday.
    1
  16821. Sorry, it's exclusively for competitors.
    1
  16822. Desert Storm era night camo.
    1
  16823. IMO, there are different philosophies of use. Against opponents without NV, active systems are easy and advantageous- but they create a huge liability against someone who can see your wildly emanating lasers and floodlights.
    1
  16824. The M14 was ideal for left-handers in the first place...
    1
  16825. Sorry, I filmed this a couple weeks ago.
    1
  16826. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg2fSD2Vl58
    1
  16827. Could well be.
    1
  16828. I was referring to specific individual guns that were owned by particular people, not models.
    1
  16829. As I say in the video description: "In 1907, the British adopted the final major pattern in the evolution of the Short, Magazine, Lee Enfield. Designated the ShtLE MkIII (Short Lee Enfield) at the time, it would be retroactively renamed Rifle No1 MkIII in the 1920s."
    1
  16830. +Tom Snook No, but many were.
    1
  16831. +Salt Factory ATF requires the marking to be visible on the outside of the gun.
    1
  16832. Both Spencer and Bannerman versions, yes.
    1
  16833. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxdPbG2PXu4
    1
  16834. Yup.
    1
  16835. I didn't think to ask; sorry.
    1
  16836. No, it's .55 Boys.
    1
  16837. On the pistol version it is fixed in the closed position, per idiotic NFA regulation.
    1
  16838. Once per month.
    1
  16839. Correct.
    1
  16840. They're in the queue once this RIA series finishes. They will be spread over 6-8 months.
    1
  16841. It's in the queue. South Africa video will be spread out over probably 6-8 months.
    1
  16842. There was for a short time, but it has since been sold. I checked. :)
    1
  16843. They're in the queue once this RIA series finishes. They will be spread over 6-8 months.
    1
  16844. Thanks!

    1
  16848. The George Cross, yes.
    1
  16849. This site says it has them in stock: https://www.tacticalquartermaster.co.za/collections/books-1/products/copy-of-book-firearms-developed-manufactured-in-southern-africa-1949-2000-signed-by-contributors
    1
  16850. Bulky, but nice.
    1
  16851. It's in there.
    1
  16852. .455 Webley
    1
  16853. Colt also had a German patent.
    1
  16854. Yes, one for the gun and one for the can.
    1
  16855. If I can find a working one, I will. When they are turned off, you can't see anything through them.
    1
  16856. Cool - unfortunately, I really don't know anything about the Soviet NV gear.
    1
  16857. Yes, they could be damaged by bright light.
    1
  16858. Yup.
    1
  16859. I bought it direct from DK Productions
    1
  16860. You are welcome to join Patreon for $1/month and get all ad-free videos…
    1
  16861. I have never handled one of their FGs, so I can't really comment.
    1
  16862. Yes, bought as pistol and Form 1 to an SBR.
    1
  16863. Here's number 74,000 and change... http://www.sturmgewehr.com/bhinton/French_MAS/MAS_49_F74763.jpg
    1
  16864. https://youtu.be/0hmJXqHoxac https://youtu.be/FfeTsE4EDaM
    1
  16865. No, there was not.
    1
  16866. +david bradley That is a lug locking the barrel and axis pin together. It should lift out when you pull the barrel up, as it does on the Wesson & Leavitt Dragoons.
    1
  16867. Close, but not quite as quick as far as I can determine.
    1
  16868. Two; one for the machine gun and one for the suppressor. Machine guns are not subject to barrel length restrictions.
    1
  16869. No, we are not entirely sure.
    1
  16870. No
    1
  16871. As long as they are registered, yes.
    1
  16872. About 12 hours.
    1
  16873. I visited the manufacturer.
    1
  16874. Well, the Garand was the first standard-issue SLR.
    1
  16875. +KC9MDO No, I am not a Rock Island employee.
    1
  16876. +Chris Nixon Yes, but only in limited applications.
    1
  16877. Yes - but the Mondrgon never really saw any combat use.
    1
  16878. +Cameron Whinery 11 days.
    1
  16879. No idea; haven't seen one for sale before.I would be interested in it myself, though - drop me a line at admin@forgottenweapons.com if you don't end up buying it yourself.
    1
  16880. +commissarpistols No, you need the clip. You could single feed rounds directly into the chamber, but that's it.
    1
  16881. +slowpokebr549 There was a European company that made reproduction 1917 clips a bunch of years ago, but they are very difficult to find now, unfortunately. I have been told that at least a few 1917s were field-modified to use the standard Berthier clip, but I don't have any indication how to tell that by sight.
    1
  16882. +Nezara Well, the Swiss 1889 straight pull rifles would be a good option, chambered for 7.5x53.5.
    1
  16883. Yes, but it's not on YouTube: https://forgottenweapons.vhx.tv/videos/glock-18-range
    1
  16884. Nope, that was from when I whacked my thumb on the scope base of an EM-2 bullpup. :) (you can see the video from that range session on my channel as well...)
    1
  16885. Yeah - I had smacked it on an EM2 a while earlier, but it has since healed.
    1
  16886. What sort of evidence do you have to support that claim?
    1
  16887. The 240 and 249 are totally different guns, but yes - they are both much better than the 60.
    1
  16888. No, I begged its forgiveness for my clumsy handling. :) It was worth more than my whole gun collection...
    1
  16889. Of course - sooner or later I'll have a video on it to post.
    1
  16890. In a nutshell, the PKM is just a much better design than the M60.
    1
  16891. Thanks! I'll look into doing a video or two on cartridges...
    1
  16892. Sorry, but Madsen built a reliable, full-power (.30-06/8mm/.308 class) 20lb bipod-mounted machine gun before WWI and it works quite well. There is no good excuse for a 1960s design having as many problems as the M60 does.
    1
  16893. Probably different makes of ammo.
    1
  16894. Sort of - the M14 was supposed to replace the BAR (as well as the M1 Garand), but that plan didn't really work. The M60 was a replacement for the 1919A6, and it took up a lot of the workload of the BAR as well.
    1
  16895. It would have been pretty simple to lengthen the MG42 action to fit the .30-06 cartridge. That wasn't done when the US military tried converting a 42, but that was simply a really dumb oversight on someone's part - not a difficult technical issue.
    1
  16896. Mechanically, it is quite similar. Have you looked at both of them disassembled?
    1
  16897. By all accounts, she was pretty good with it.
    1
  16898. Even if it doesn't heat up too much, the front sight is going to give you a pretty unwieldy grip on the barrel. They should have just included a handle.
    1
  16899. No, I have not had an opportunity to.
    1
  16900. Better camera angles sometimes.
    1
  16901. Cool! You should get some video of it when it's finished! :)
    1
  16902. Yep, that would be people safety-wiring the gas regulator in place.
    1
  16903. Not going to argue that. But there is value to establishing a baseline for folks who may not have knowledge of guns like this outside of video games. It's necessary to understand them reasonably well before you can understand the guns that they competed against in trials, or that they were developed into or from. Happily, you don't need to watch if you already know all about the M60! :)
    1
  16904. https://youtu.be/mODfNOfwHkE
    1
  16905. No, the trigger is hidden by the stock.
    1
  16906. Yes, a bunch.
    1
  16907. No, the trigger is covered by the stock.
    1
  16908. No.
    1
  16909. I do - it's coming soon to the Merch Shop. :)
    1
  16910. It's coming in a few months.
    1
  16911. Just practice left-handed. Use your firing hand to support the rifle and your support hand to cycle the bolt.
    1
  16912. Coming soon to shop.forgottenweapons.com :)
    1
  16913. PPU makes it intermittently. I bought a bunch waaaaay back when I was expected to get an HMG Sturmgewehr.
    1
  16914. Yes, PPU makes it periodically.
    1
  16915. Nope. Just unload it.
    1
  16916. Indiana, for one.
    1
  16917. Prvi makes 6.5; Steinel does both 6.5 and 7.35.
    1
  16918. Same company, yes.
    1
  16919. Yep.
    1
  16920. Send me a photo of the case and the headstamp, at admin@forgottenweapons.com.
    1
  16921. That's an importer's mark, as required by US law.

  16932. The FAL is only slightly less useless in full auto than the M14. Enough so that the UK didn't even both to give it a full-auto capability in British service.
    1
  16933. The 1989 "assault weapon" import ban enacted by executive order by President Bush and left in place by every President since.
    1
  16934. Yes, that.
    1
  16935. In the next few months. I have the video filmed, just not edited yet.
    1
  16936. Nope.
    1
  16937. When I find one, I will...
    1
  16938. Eh?
    1
  16939. There is a distinct possibility that I'll be shooting one this summer.
    1
  16940. Nope, not a thing. Never even seen one in person.
    1
  16941. Yup, exactly. Although the Russians did continue to use AT rifles (14.5mm ones) to target things like treads and radio antennae throughout the war.
    1
  16942. Yes, they have a reputation for being pretty unpleasant to use.
    1
  16943. British.
    1
  16944. 7
    1
  16945. Merci!
    1
  16946. Lol...it's a mug of water. The wine bottle isn't open...
    1
  16947. A C&R holder is a licensed dealer.
    1
  16948. That wine bottle is unopened, and the mug is water.
    1
  16949. +Kenny VanCleave No, unfortunately.
    1
  16950. https://youtu.be/_fJwN0Vq7gM
    1
  16951. Normally yes, but there are a. number of older models that are exempted by ATF. This is one of them.
    1
  16952. Original artillery Lugers with original stocks are exempted from NFA registration.
    1
  16953. Yes.
    1
  16954. Like this? https://youtu.be/szlJ9qy_SCg
    1
  16955. Sorry, only in the US.
    1
  16956. Lots, but not so many that I have ready access to.
    1
  16957. Direct impingement does not have a sealed gas piston.
    1
  16958. Short.
    1
  16959. Once the bullet leaves it vent back out the gas port and muzzle.
    1
  16960. No, that's just a Century AK with East German furniture on it.
    1
  16961. It's in Russian, for a Russian-speaking audience. The English version came out more than a year ago, and is also linked in the description.
    1
  16962. Thanks!
    1
  16963. Correct.
    1

  16979. Perhaps, but the 4-digit serial number seems inappropriate for a toolroom gun.

  16980. All NFA rules apply to C&R machine guns. Once the NFA transfer clears, a C&R machine gun can ship interstate from the seller to a C&R license holder, where otherwise an interstate transfer must go through a licensed dealer.

  16981. No. The WW1 version was just semi or full. It was the WW2 A2 version that had slow and fast settings.

  16999. David M. Right - .455 Self-Loading.
    1
  17000. I should have been clearer in the video - Whiting early pistols (circa 1904) were designed for the standard .455 revolver round, but these later models used a modified version that was semi-rimmed, similar to a .32 ACP.

  17014. We have a ton of content about them on the InRangeTV channel - a YouTube search for "WWSD" will bring up a lot.
    1
  17015. This one is actually a prop from the TV series. They auctioned off the stuff after it was cancelled.
    1
  17016. I fumbled it - I said 14 when I meant 94.
    1
  17017. Lage Max11/15.
    1
  17018. It appears to be safe to shoot, as the damage is not deep.
    1
  17019. It was a prop from the TV series, sold off when the show was cancelled.
    1
  17020. Oui.
    1
  17021. One is a halfcock notch.
    1
  17022. It was a gift from a fan in Finland.
    1
  17023. If they had been given the time to make a proper modern rifle instead of the Lebel, the Berthier would almost certainly never have existed. Any rifle with a box magazine could have been adapted easily to carbine configuration.
    1
  17024. Remington made Berthiers, but not Lebels.
    1
  17025. No. Going to 7.62x39 would require changing the receiver, barrel support, and several other major parts. It wouldn't be cost effective - what you should do instead is modify an AK to look like a VG1-5 (I've seen this done by other folks).
    1
  17026. It is concentric, just an optical illusion between a shiny finish and angled crown that makes it look otherwise in the video.
    1
  17027. Technically, the M2 did not serve in WWI.
    1
  17028. It wasn't used by the US, and was replaced by domestic designs in most large countries fairly early on. Most of its extended use was with smaller countries that aren't widely recognized for military matters.
    1
  17029. I'm putting up a post on the blog tomorrow about the 1888 and 1896 rifles, so you can have a look at their internals. But yeah, the mechanism was conceptually identical.
    1
  17030. Gas operation is potentially more accurate, since the barrel isn't moving with each shot. It's also potentially lighter, since it doesn't require a full-length barrel shroud.
    1
  17031. Gravity would probably work in ideal conditions, but the magazine spring is necessary for proper military reliability. FWIW, the Type 11 Nambu did also use a spring loaded follower to keep pressure on the clips in its hopper.
    1
  17032. Yep. I have a post coming tomorrow on the Forgotten Weapons blog about the 1888 and 1896 Madsen rifles that were the basis for the Madsen LMG.
    1
  17033. I can't reference specific battles, but they were definitely used in WWI, the Russo-Japanese War, the Gran Chaco War, and WWII...just not usually in large numbers or by well-known forces.
    1
  17034. Never, really. Drums have always been a bit questionable for reliability - pretty much every country that adopts them winds up going back to sticks (PPSh-41, Thompson, RPK-47, etc)
    1
  17035. Yep, but I'm not sure exactly when.
    1
  17036. Ha! Yeah, you're right. :)
    1
  17037. Yeah, malfs can be pretty nasty. The problem is that the charging handle will only pull the action rearward, and there is no mechanical way to push it forward. So if the action partially extracts or partially chambers a round, you pretty much have to open the top cover and use a finger to force the breech assembly forward, or else open up the whole gun and remove the assembly (assuming it hasn't gotten stuck a in a position that prevents the gun from being broken open).
    1
  17038. If you have a better description, I'm open to suggestions.
    1
  17039. There is a blocking piece welded into the upper, FWIW. I didn't take apart the FCG, and since the gun was hammer-fired to begin with, I expect that's where most of the conversion work takes place. OAL and barrel length wouldn't be an issue, but I didn't see much in the way of US-made parts. By my quick count, it would comply with 922r as a rifle (using original mags) as long as all the FCG parts were US made.
    1
  17040. Really depends on what you are interested in.
    1
  17041. It's my PO Box number, which is in all the video descriptions. But now YouTube thinks it's a hashtag.
    1
  17042. Neat! Thanks for sharing that :)
    1
  17043. Yup, that's it. It is linked in the end cards of the video, but I don't think mobile viewers can see those.
    1
  17044. In the end screen links
    1
  17045. Yep.
    1
  17046. This one is chambered for 8x50R (not the French cartridge, but the Austrian one), and yes it used cloth belts. Not as heavy as the other watercooled guns of the time, though - about 40 pounds (plus mount). I have seen varied cyclic rates in different manuals, between 400 and 600 rpm.
    1
  17047. The ratio of case weight to bullet weight is much closer to equal for rifle rounds than for pistol rounds, which makes the case less likely to separate from the bullet..
    1
  17048. I made a mistake in the audio editing, so I fixed it and re-uploaded the video.

    1
  17063. I hear people say that, but IMO considering a CCW gun disposable in the event of self-defense use seems to me like a really, really good bargain. Are you really going to complain that you saved your life, but it cost you $1000 (at the high end)?
    1
  17064. A firearm projectile never rises above the line of the barrel. As soon as it leaves the muzzle it only slows down and drops. However, the sights may be configured to make it appear that the projectile rises.
    1
  17065. Not sure, but I don't think I'd try it. That would be the equivalent of resting a revolver firing pin on a primer - you're one accidental jolt away from it firing while your hands are messing with the ammo.
    1
  17066. Modifying the weapon in that way is not possible - a rocket requires no pressure-bearing parts, and a standard cartridge does. The designs of the two are fundamentally different, and one might as well design a new gun from scratch as modify one type into the other.
    1
  17067. Got any evidence for the assertion?

  17087. +Rovensaal Seifer It would actually increase the felt recoil, but I don't think it would be substantial enough to be an issue for the shooter.

  17096. I have not heard anything new from them, unfortunately. I'm just waiting like everyone else.

    1
  17148. Yeah, editing mistake that I didn't catch until it was published. Sorry!
    1
  17149. Yeah, sorry - editing goof on my part that left that detail out. The muzzle device screws onto the barrel and holds the gas block in place.

  17167. Fully automatic firearms are regulated by the Federal government in the US. They must be registered, and they are very expensive (for reasons more complicated than can be addressed in a YouTube comment). Some states regulate them more strictly, and a few states prohibit them.

    1
  17172. Yep

  17173. It's a close fit, but there is a hand stop at the back of the handguard to prevent that from happening. It's a bit hard to see in that particular angle.
    1
  17174. Not quite the same thing, but close...https://youtu.be/9--BX-AUK5g
    1
  17175. It is a unit of angle equal to 1/60th of a degree. The arc covered by 1 minute of angle at 100 yards is approximately 1 inch.
    1
  17176. A minute is a measurement of angle equal to 1/60 of an degree. The arc covered by one minute of angle at 100 yards is approximately 1 inch, so it makes a convenient measurement of group size.

  17184. Best bet would be the Collector Grade book "The Schmeisser Myth"
    1
  17185. Yes.
    1
  17186. Nobody has found a III.
    1
  17187. Yes.
    1
  17188. If that were the case, we would see other number as well - but we don't.
    1
  17189. Not that I am aware of.
    1
  17190. Sorry - I have zero control over the content of the ads that YouTube runs.
    1
  17191. I still need to get an opportunity to film the 1918 version, with just one barrel and a shoulder stock.
    1
  17192. The Luger drums may have been used that early (in Lugers), but not the submachine gun.
    1
  17193. Only that they are both sized based on ammo distribution in 16-round maxes, based on 8-round Luger magazines.
    1
  17194. Yes
    1
  17195. The video has been unlisted for a while prior to posting, and the link to it was available if you watched to the very end of one of my earlier videos. :)
    1
  17196. New Mexico
    1
  17197. No that I am aware of, no.
    1
  17198. Yep
    1
  17199. eForm 1 is already available, and has been for a while.
    1
  17200. CLEO signature has been gone for a few years now, thanks to 41F.
    1
  17201. The kiosks were designed to be a convenient way to print all the information out onto a paper form.
    1
  17202. It will only apply to newly-filed eForms.
    1
  17203. It's not very good yet.
    1
  17204. I don't think I could afford that. :)
    1
  17205. https://youtu.be/ObiEIIuhfnI
    1
  17206. I have used that a bunch. It's not very good yet.
    1
  17207. The live-view app is terrible.
    1
  17208. Cool!
    1
  17209. It's just you.
    1
  17210. Thanks!
    1
  17211. What would the correct one be?
    1
  17212. +Dh4v0c Without taking it apart (of digging up a patent drawing) I'm not sure.
    1
  17213. Yes, a French MAS-38.
    1
  17214. The recoil energy isn't transferred to the shooter until the bolt reaches the rear of the receiver and stops.
    1
  17215. Yes, almost certainly.
    1
  17216. No, I don't know.
    1
  17217. Sort of - on season 5, episode 9 of the TV show "Sons of Guns", they had one made and I fired it. Very underwhelming - pretty clear why the OSS dropped the idea.
    1
  17218. jeffxl12 FWIW, I have some friends who are hoping to bring the Bigot conversion to market. I don't know when it might happen, though, and there is some question as to how the ATF would classify the parts. If they deem the darts to actually be suppressors, it would be much more difficult to successfully market.
    1
  17219. I signed an NDA, so I'm not really at liberty to discuss the show. Unfortunately, I can pretty much guarantee that RJF will not be making these commercially available.
    1
  17220. To throw
    1
  17221. I saw a bunch of examples of 12-round magazines dug up on Guadalcanal.
    1
  17222. They are British; they can't help it.
    1
  17223. Second.
    1
  17224. This is also why you should never use a tumbler to "clean up" dirty ammo.
    1
  17225. That is possible, yes.
    1
  17226. Vetterli 1870/87/15 in 6.5 Carcano.
    1
  17227. Yep! :)
    1
  17228. That is one possible explanation for what happened, yes.
    1
  17229. The Mosin Nagant was designed for brass cased ammunition.
    1
  17230. About 8 years ago...https://youtu.be/EaSui_UqDX8
    1
  17231. Sometimes revolvers can handle this better, because the gap between barrel and cylinder gives the pressure a place to vent.
    1
  17232. No. This SLAP ammo was made in the 80s.
    1
  17233. You can indeed! :) https://shop.forgottenweapons.com/collections/apparel/products/carhartt-force-®-ridgefield-shirt
    1
  17234. +deathdragon1987 They never were 60fps; that was just a rendering artifact that said they were.
    1
  17235. +Plinkington Wildlife It's an auction, so sometimes things go for a lot more or a lot less than estimated.
    1
  17236. PPU makes it, and it's not hard to find.
    1
  17237. It happens regularly.
    1
  17238. I have a couple videos on Madsens already...
    1
  17239. As soon as you send me one to test.
    1
  17240. Yes indeed.
    1
  17241. He just didn't screw the recoil guide spring in all the way. This the same gun he had, I believe.
    1
  17242. I now have videos set to pre-scheduled publication, and YouTube doesn't allow you to see a scheduled video in advance. Sorry!
    1
  17243. Yes, I did :)
    1
  17244. Yes, it's in the description text. Thanks!
    1
  17245. No. The other guns were totally different designs created by Arcadia Machine & Tool and only shared the "Automag" name as a marketing tool.
    1
  17246. That would be appropriate, but no - the gun was always called the Model 180.
    1
  17247. Yes, I am getting a T&E gun and ammo from S&W to film.
    1
  17248. Sorry, that was the title from the Patreon version. I was a bit rushed prepping video for the trip I'm on now and I missed that.
    1
  17249. I have a new camera - on the HOWW app videos are now in 4K :)
    1
  17250. Sorry, that was the title from the Patreon version. I was a bit rushed prepping video for the trip I'm on now and I missed that.
    1
  17251. No.
    1
  17252. Not yet... :)
    1
  17253. Not the same gun.
    1
  17254. Thank you!
    1
  17255. Joona Jalopaasi  Can you provide any reference for that designation? Where did you see it used?
    1
  17256. Yes, I think you are. I've never heard the 91/31 designation used for a sniper.
    1
  17257. Yes: https://shop.bbtv.com/collections/forgotten-weapons
    1
  17258. Youtube does not let me have links anymore.
    1
  17259. +Hagge Bänke Thanks!
    1
  17260. That's a Sturmgewehr with Krummlauf.
    1
  17261. +webtoedman yep
    1

    1
  17267. Ask your local gun shop to order you one.
    1
  17268. Yes, the F1 and MR88 are both copies of Ruger revolvers.
    1
  17269. I have never heard of that...
    1
  17270. Are you sure you aren't thinking of the UD-42?
    1
  17271. The logistics and scheduling didn't work.
    1
  17272. These do have fluted chambers.
    1
  17273. Yes, a reproduction of one of these.
    1
  17274. I don't think that is actually German. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/caveat-emptor-stg45-prototype/
    1
  17275. It was purchased by a collector there.
    1
  17276. +BrassicaRappa Yeah, pretty much.
    1
  17277. You should be the test case in court for that theory, then.
    1
  17278. It would be fun to do some sort of collaboration with him some day. :)
    1
  17279. +Andy Wander That is a tool for disassembling the bolt.
    1
  17280. +Stoned Dog I can't recall ever seeing one for sale.
    1
  17281. Yup.
    1
  17282. The Springfield Armory today has nothing in common with the original US arsenal except the name.
    1
  17283. Springfield never told me it was coming. No idea why.
    1
  17284. That video is coming later.
    1
  17285. According to Fiocchi it's 215 m/s, or 705 fps. https://fiocchi.com/en/714550.html
    1
  17286. Over on InRange, we have a whole series from Desert Brutality 2018, which I shot with the FAMAS.
    1
  17287. Well, St. Etienne marked it ".223", so if you have a reason to suggest it's not please elaborate.
    1
  17288. I'm using Wolf.
    1
  17289. All FAMAS can be swapped between left and right handed without any extra parts.
    1
  17290. Every FAMAS can be swapped from left to right and back.
    1
  17291. Bipod.
    1
  17292. It's hard to say because optics are a very important part of a modern rifle and I haven't had the chance to handle the modernized FAMAS variants modified for optics mounting. What you see in the video is an early method of adding a rail to the hand guard; more modern military adaptations use a much lower hand guard and a few other changes. If I were to judge just by the iron sight versions, I would say the FAMAS is better than the L85.
    1
  17293. Nope.
    1
  17294. I just got a notification from YouTube that they received a legal complaint about it and blocked it in the UK. This is nonsense, and I am trying to get it fixed. Probably won't be able to, though, because eYouTube is pretty notoriously unhelpful with that sort of thing.
    1
  17295. That would make sense.
    1
  17296. I will get to that one eventually. Like the other, there are no existing examples of them.
    1
  17297. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcuDtW4T7Mk
    1
  17298. Awesome!
    1
  17299. Because virtually all modern electronics are hardened against EMP to at least some degree.
    1
  17300. Several Swiss ones, like the MP41/44 and LMG25
    1
  17301. +Rain Coast Auction staff do not clean guns prior to sale.
    1
  17302. Yes, two months ago: https://youtu.be/HLs_dEzyyOU
    1
  17303. What is your source for this?
    1
  17304. Yes, sorry.
    1
  17305. Izhevsk
    1
  17306. Because "sh" is not a letter in English.
    1
  17307. That's being fixed today.
    1
  17308. Brownells is fixing that today.
    1
  17309. One can hope!
    1
  17310. It's a hotel room.
    1
  17311. They are fixing that today.
    1
  17312. Yes, they were used through WWII until worn out.
    1
  17313. https://youtu.be/WLFA8VXVkRQ
    1
  17314. This belongs to a museum.
    1
  17315. No.
    1
  17316. ...which I link to in the description and mention in the video itself.
    1
  17317. Vektor CR-21
    1
  17318. Click the CC button on the bottom of the video player, that will turn them off
    1
  17319. Yes, OOB on a fixed firing pin SMG is real. I've had it happen to myself personally 3 or 4 times.
    1
  17320. No.
    1
  17321. No, I did not voice it myself.
    1
  17322. Patch box, for storing stuff.
    1
  17323. Sign up for the restock email - we are working on increasing the initial order right now, and should have more available in a day or two.
    1
  17324. The weight of the bag was too much for the shoulder strap friction buckle to hold.
    1
  17325. https://youtu.be/ZL9fnVtz_lc
    1
  17326. Good catch ;)
    1
  17327. There were three 733 clones in the video, and one of them had an A2 rear sight.
    1
  17328. Sign up for the notification email; we should have the stock increased in a day or two.
    1
  17329. Pacino's character had an FN FNC.
    1
  17330. Our driver is Dutch
    1
  17331. South Africa videos will start in June, and be spread over 6-8 months.
    1
  17332. Um, no.
    1
  17333. No.
    1
  17334. Probably...
    1
  17335. The hammer spring also serves as the trigger return spring, and doesn't function without a hammer being installed.
    1
  17336. No. The cocking lever doesn't;t come far enough back, and even if it did the slide would be fully open so it couldn't fire.
    1
  17337. Using the cocking lever does exactly the same thing as racking the slide by hand. If there is a round in the chamber, it would be ejected.
    1
  17338. Yeah, 1500 rounds. I misspoke.
    1

  17340. +Jonas Kilian Once they publish the final prices, yes.
    1
  17341. +curbs100 Gift from a retired British officer.
    1
  17342. +spiritof78 Yeah, 9x19.
    1
  17343. +Cult 9x19
    1
  17344. +Jimme John Nope, not yet.
    1
  17345. +Christopher “Stoffeman” Bergström They were all very high quality, as I understand it.
    1
  17346. +Giancarlo Wolfe Nope, I borrowed it form a big helmet collection being sold by the Poulin auction house.
    1
  17347. +ed l Not directly, but pretty much all of the submachine guns from the MP18 through the end of WWII (if not later) share all the same basic operating mechanisms and thus tend to look or work similarly in many ways.
    1
  17348. +allan fulton It will make the barrel heat up faster, but not enough to make any practical difference.
    1
  17349. +Owen St.Hilaire No, I have not.
    1
  17350. +j mcf Yes, 9x19
    1
  17351. +dahat42 It is a registered machine gun, and also a C&R. The upshot is that once your NFA paperwork goes through, it can ship directly to you if you have a C&R license. Otherwise it would have to ship to an NFA dealer in your state and then transfer to you.
    1
  17352. +jazzbo54 I don't, but I haven't tried looking for any.
    1
  17353. +littlerupert1111 Yes, the antlers are real.
    1
  17354. +AussieFanXCIV I can film typically 4 or 5 per day, so I spend about a week filming and then come home to do my editing and sleep. :)
    1
  17355. +hunting310 Well...no. Mostly military this time around.
    1
  17356. +DarkestVampire92 They are, the the very first line of the description is a link to RIA's page on them.
    1
  17357. +CopyCatCo Haven't yet, but it's on the list (well, "they" are on the list).
    1
  17358. It's been there since this morning...
    1
  17359. Most got new barrels when they were converted, but some were just done with a chamber insert. The bore diameters of the Gras and Chassepot are identical.
    1
  17360. Possibly even cooler than John Wick...
    1
  17361. No, it's not. The Bergmann in the Mandalorian is a No1 model, which is visibly different from the 1896/No3.
    1
  17362. "...and this is the magic transforming automatic revolver" :)
    1
  17363. https://www.bapty.co.uk
    1
  17364. The Chinese in the 20s and 30s treated the C96 as a front-line infantry weapon...
    1
  17365. Different movie :)
    1
  17366. My PO Box.
    1
  17367. https://youtu.be/sIhGCRIQnCA
    1
  17368. No.
    1
  17369. No, different Richardson.
    1
  17370. That's how it is supposed to work, yes. That's not what was happening.
    1
  17371. It's a drop safety.
    1
  17372. SIG plan to offer this in .308 for the civilian market.
    1
  17373. The implication that military adoption suggests any fundamental difference from sporting arms tell me that you don't know what you are talking about.
    1
  17374. Yes
    1
  17375. The back pressure means more gas still in the barrel, which comes out the ejection port after the empty case, irrespective of operating system.
    1
  17376. Because of the increased back pressure, it is common to get gas in the face from gas piston actions with suppressors.
    1
  17377. Better to beg forgiveness than ask permission. Also, they won't beg forgiveness.
    1
  17378. SIG is in New Hampshire. They are no longer Swiss.
    1
  17379. SIG Sauer is a US company. The R&D and manufacturing all take place in New Hampshire. It was originally Swiss, and then briefly German, but is now thoroughly American.
    1
  17380. No, the suppressor does nothing to reduce bullet velocity.
    1
  17381. Most likely nothing at all, same as Biden.
    1
  17382. At the end of every item description is an estimated price range.
    1
  17383. No, not at all.
    1
  17384. It is a converted semiauto Model A.
    1
  17385. It is a converted semiauto Model A.
    1
  17386. Different auction company.
    1
  17387. It's a registered conversion of a semiauto.
    1
  17388. French F1.
    1
  17389. Close - Maine.
    1
  17390. I don't know; never shot one in .41.
    1
  17391. Yes.
    1
  17392. Just their training doctrine...or at least it used to be. Not sure if they still do it that way.
    1
  17393. French F2.
    1
  17394. Probably a result of the blanks and blank adapter.
    1
  17395. I don't know, but I look forward to the day.
    1
  17396. Yes.
    1
  17397. It's posting later this week.
    1
  17398. Open bolt SMGs don't used API - take a look at something like a 20mm Oerlikon to see a true example of that concept.
    1
  17399. Yes.
    1
  17400. It's a converted semiauto Model A.
    1
  17401. There is a huge different between a child with a Mini-Uzi (or Micro? I don't recall) and a relatively experienced adult with a full size Uzi.
    1
  17402. Yes.
    1
  17403. They were already being used there back in 2014: https://sovietarmorer.wordpress.com/2014/10/13/ptrs-41-and-ptrs-41-rifles-in-action-at-the-conflict-in-ukraine/
    1
  17404. I don't think mounting it to the stock would hold zero.
    1
  17405. He died at the helicopter crash site that day.
    1
  17406. The base rifle is an early Springfield with a bunch of GI parts.
    1
  17407. My bad, sorry!
    1
  17408. The base rifle is an early Springfield M1A; just semiauto. The selector bar is a dummy I added on for looks.
    1
  17409. No, you can enter without any purchase. Click the link; the full rules are there.
    1
  17410. The base rifle is an M1A; it's semiauto. The selector bar is a dummy.
    1
  17411. No, this clone is built on an early Springfield M1A, with a dummy selector bar.
    1
  17412. I don't suppose you have any actual evidence to support this assertion?
    1
  17413. Double action.
    1
  17414. Actually, I just filmed an AVS-36 today...that video will be coming in a couple weeks.
    1
  17415. Yes.
    1

    1
  17417. Thanks!
    1
  17418. Why not?
    1
  17419. I re-uploaded it to fix an audio issue.
    1
  17420. The first model Thorneycroft was 1901, the year Victoria died.
    1
  17421. +SynonamessBotch Indeed.
    1
  17422. +PaperCake Yeah, I just did to fix the BAR entry for Kelly's Heroes. :)
    1
  17423. +Mat Ka Why are so many people asking about the wz.35? I would love to do a piece on one, but I never expected to get so many requests. Why are so many people familiar with the gun which really ought to be way more obscure?
    1
  17424. +ZoidFile Yup. It stands out in this video because of the lighting angles and the cold temperature.
    1
  17425. +m1994a3jagnew I've seen an FN experimental belted BAR in Liege, but wasn't able to take photos or video. Haven't ever had my hands on a Swedish belted version.
    1
  17426. +Minor Bob A fair amount, yes.
    1
  17427. As soon as I find one...
    1
  17428. +Desmaad It's a tilting bolt.
    1
  17429. +Thegauntlet04 admin@forgottenweapons.com
    1
  17430. +Mongo63a True; didn't think about that.
    1
  17431. +Hiram Escamilla Correct, to just switch between settings. But to remove it completely you have to pull the pin all the way out or it was hit against the barrel when you rotate the gas plug.
    1
  17432. +Dan Schneider I believe they were.
    1
  17433. +Mat D I think the changes made to this gun make is substantially better than the US M1918A2.

  17434. +theordinarytime Nope, no German production.
    1
  17435. +Lubos Soltes Yes, the colt temperature definitely makes it more visible.
    1
  17436. +Lubos Soltes Yup, venting from the end of the gas tube. It's normal.
    1
  17437. +Jersey Mike's Rail Videos Sure, for shooting. But I maintain that the wz.28 is actually quite rare in the US.
    1
  17438. The ivory trade is responsible for that, not trophy hunting.
    1
  17439. It slows down the acceleration of the bullet (compared to a smoothbore) which lengthens the time the bullet spends in the barrel which results in a higher muzzle velocity which creates greater recoil.
    1
  17440. +TomatheGreek Sleeved? No.
    1
  17441. +A. Jarvis (AJarvis09) I had a minor in history completed, but then I moved from the school of engineering to the school of technology, which didn't recognize that minor.
    1
  17442. +Daedricbob Yes, it is wrong. :)
    1
  17443. +raider762 Just the box of ammo is probably worth more than my car. :)
    1
  17444. +ashton a Yes; that's the only way I ever participate.
    1
  17445. +Captain Katawa Actually, the measurement of bore/gauge directly informs you of the projectile weight (and related things, like how much lead will be necessary to make a given number of projectiles), while a measurement using a standardized length-measuring system does not. There are usually reasons for things.
    1
  17446. +Wambi45 Yup.
    1
  17447. +The Emerald Apple I explain this in the video...
    1
  17448. This fires a bullet 3-4 times the mass of a .50 BMG bullet.
    1
  17449. +Verithiell Yes, it was layered steel - the term used is damascus barrel, and the process is similar but not identical to damascus as used in blades. This was a more feasible and precise process than deep-hole drilling at the time.
    1
  17450. +Longstick556 No.
    1
  17451. +Ivan Krylov Not any of these, but there is at least one Paradox in the auction.
    1
  17452. +Robert Brown Gift from a retired British naval officer. Warm, but itchy.
    1
  17453. +Ben D Nope, that was a bicycle accident.
    1
  17454. +oceannavagator Yep, you did.
    1
  17455. +Jeffrey Plum There is at least one Paradox in the sale, maybe two. Take a look at the catalog and you'll find them.
    1
  17456. +KingKiavash I think he's dead already...
    1
  17457. +Jeffrey Carpenter Not only do I know about it, I have a "Burt Gummer's Survival School" shirt from the TV show. :)
    1
  17458. +Jeffrey Carpenter No, Burt's was a puny 8-bore.
    1
  17459. +phileas007 Absolutely not. That would actual stand a serious chance of breaking bones or doing other damage.
    1
  17460. +Wilbo Baggins I actually have a MAG-7 video filmed that will publish in a month or so. Haven't ever seen a Neostead in real life, though.
    1
  17461. +M85FSLUVR It's fairly recent British Navy. Mine was a gift from a friend; but you can probably find them at surplus outlets.
    1
  17462. +mogimbo I have no idea. Might be some sort of EM interference, because the exact same setup works just fine on my range in AZ.
    1
  17463. +Mark Keogh No, believe it or not.
    1
  17464. +hornmonk3zit The are exempt because of having sporting purpose.
    1
  17465. +Meursault 鬱 I have no idea.
    1
  17466. +uncletigger Thanks guys!
    1
  17467. +tengu190 A heavy load would be 16 drams.
    1
  17468. +Matthew Edwards Each of the Julia links includes their estimated values.
    1
  17469. +Ben Smith The tigers would be in India.
    1
  17470. +Rahl F It is; check the catalog.
    1
  17471. +Phil Verhey Try "belted ball".
    1
  17472. No, the Danes adopted the Madsen-Rasmussen in small numbers in the 1880s and 1890s.
    1
  17473. "Assault weapon" is a made-up legal term. "Assault rifle" is a legitimate technical definition.
    1
  17474. Yes.
    1
  17475. The standard paratrooper rifle was the Type 2; this is an earlier trials version designated Type 100. There was also a Type 100 SMG, and a Type 100 grenade discharger, just like the US had an M1 rifle, M1 Carbine, and M1 SMG.
    1
  17476. No
    1
  17477. +Morinaka25 Much easier to make large numbers in a small space with the arabic numerals - the Japanese used these for serial numbers and sight increments on all their small arms. Using Japanese numerals would be like using Roman numerals.
    1
  17478. Once the kickstarter ends, the book will be available through HeadstampPublishing.com . The Kickstarter discount and the purple cover design are only available through the Kickstarter, though.
    1
  17479. We are working on a PayPal solution, but we don't know if it will be possible. Please email us at info@headstamppublishing.com and we put you a contact list and reach out if we can do it.
    1
  17480. Same height, but narrower.
    1
  17481. The LDP is substantially different; the South African copy of the vz.26 was the Sanna 77.
    1
  17482. Because I was the guy running the camera. Simpler that way.
    1
  17483. ReD MeNacE I've shot both; I would prefer the PPS43.
    1
  17484. That lug shape is standard
    1
  17485. The one shortcoming of the Universal Tool is screws...
    1
  17486. Long magazines can be a problem when taking a low prone position, which was considered more significant than having a large magazine in a semiauto rifle by pretty much every military at that time.
    1
  17487. No, the only Arisakas with bent bolt handles are the Type 97 and Type 99 snipers.
    1
  17488. jasonyama333 It's not really a big deal, you just roll your head a little farther over the stock than you would with a centered scope.
    1
  17489. +Marcel Hitoshi Neither 6.5 nor 7.7 Japanese tumble unless the rifles they are fired from are extremely worn.
    1
  17490. Yes, they are.
    1
  17491. Here is my more technical video, recorded a few years ago: https://youtu.be/d12AjvEsaHg
    1
  17492. You just replace the wipe with a new one. They are simply rubber disks.
    1
  17493. Yeah, they are collecting up a couple thousand rounds of 8x57 brass. I had no idea it would come through that much on camera or I would have asked them to stop.
    1
  17494. Yes.
    1
  17495. Some of them even have Welrods, I hear... ;)
    1
  17496. Yes.
    1
  17497. Doesn’t need an armorer. You just unscrew the front cap, pull out the used wipe and put in a new one. Takes a few seconds.
    1
  17498. It was owned by a different person.
    1
  17499. I can assure you that the table, while it sounds dramatic on camera, did not put any scratches on any of the guns. The pistol in Big Jake was a movie prop - a Walther P38 decorated to look like a Bergmann automatic.
    1
  17500. Y'know, I'm not sure what they were replaced with. Pretty sure they only issued one per aircraft, though.
    1
  17501. Yeah, the drillings are gorgeous guns, just a bit more than really necessary for the job. :) For terrible triggers, I would also nominate the H&K VP-70 and the Colt All-American 2000.
    1
  17502. Nope, it's just me.
    1
  17503. I don't have time to reply to every comment, but I do try to answer the ones that raise interesting and relevant points, even on older videos.
    1
  17504. Yes, that is me actually firing it.
    1
  17505. I haven't been to Rock Island in more than a year, and don't expect I will be going back again.
    1
  17506. I got it form Brother Alex, just like I said.
    1
  17507. https://youtu.be/eAHKS0nVlL4
    1
  17508. Nope. Belgian. Marked Gd and Rw.
    1
  17509. I have seen a 1954 dated , Gendarmerie marked M1 FAL.
    1
  17510. The legislation includes a list of what are considered "parts". Not all of them exist in any particular design (for instance, the G3 does not have a gas piston), and not all actual parts of any given gun are on that list (for instance, a gas plug is not considered a part).
    1
  17511. That's why I mentioned his company in the video ;)
    1
  17512. Yep.
    1
  17513. In Finland, this was probably never the sort of problem it is in the Arizona desert.
    1
  17514. Yes, some were used by the British in North Africa (they were originally sold to the Sudan).

    1
  17517. I think mirage is basically irrelevant at pistol ranges.
    1
  17518. 7.65mm Browning.
    1
  17519. I have no idea. They probably don't exist anymore.
    1
  17520. Deviant is a good friend of mine. :)

  17523. I have one filmed; it'll come out soon.
    1
  17524. I see what you did there :)
    1
  17525. No idea.
    1
  17526. Yes, I would definitely be interested in more background on this piece - my email address is admin@forgottenweapons.com.
    1
  17527. Yep.
    1
  17528. Yes, I have spoken to someone who fired a couple. He said "they don't work for shit".
    1
  17529. He was not at this match.
    1
  17530. I meant Mauser.

  17532. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-tst-woolshell-jacket/59958

    1
  17534. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-tst-woolshell-jacket/59958
    1
  17535. Pretty much.
    1
  17536. Yeah, I meant Mauser.
    1
  17537. CZ Bren 2 or now Bren 3.
    1
  17538. Yes, the same.
    1
  17539. My pleasure! :)
    1
  17540. +John Mc Completely different.
    1
  17541. +nezir çağlar I'm sure there are some around, but I have not encountered one myself yet.
    1
  17542. https://youtu.be/cNB_2hih31I
    1
  17543. Yup. The delayed shipping of Chassepot to FAMAS forced us to push this book back from when we originally planned to announce it.
    1
  17544. The standard blue book will be available after the Kickstarter ends, although not for a discount.
    1
  17545. Tentatively early spring next year. https://www.headstamppublishing.com/#avtomat
    1
  17546. I never met him, but his books are outstanding.
    1
  17547. No I didn't. Inconceivable. ;)
    1
  17548. We are keeping Chassepot to FAMAS shipping the same, because we will continue to cover the customs fees for it.
    1
  17549. The ones that are definite are posted here: https://www.headstamppublishing.com/
    1
  17550. Marine.
    1
  17551. Marine Corps; part of the Navy.
    1
  17552. Yes, I have. Good book.
    1
  17553. Yep
    1
  17554. Correct.
    1
  17555. The cartridges hold the links together.

  17556. ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEPwmYcCPFs
    1
  17557. +CoIdHeat I do add sale prices after they are published. This rifle doesn't go up for auction for another week.
    1
  17558. +mikedawgx01 Yes.
    1
  17559. +Crobular I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEPwmYcCPFs
    1
  17560. +megaben99 If I ever have access to one.
    1
  17561. +jadedengineer The FAMAS is lever-delayed, not roller delayed.
    1
  17562. It's right here: https://forgottenweapons.vhx.tv/videos/m98kf1-zf41 Top of the newest video carousel too.
    1
  17563. Because it's a great place and I have a bunch of friends there.
    1
  17564. M-W-F-Sa, plus a Patron-only video on Tuesday (as explained in my 2022 State of the Channel)
    1
  17565. They are really depressingly cheap in Finland.
    1
  17566. Full auto is fine.
    1
  17567. The closest real thing to this are the British Gallilean sights, like this: https://youtu.be/c5f--O2UQNc
    1
  17568. No, not yet.
    1
  17569. +C t g s l a y e r No, I am a lefty. I sometimes shoot right handed for better camera angles, though.
    1
  17570. No.
    1
  17571. Tough choice, but probably the Semmerling.
    1
  17572. Not enough time in my life! :)
    1
  17573. Definitely! More libraries should get reference books like this; it would be a huge boon to students.
    1
  17574. +Rebelbrand Nope.
    1
  17575. I have an update to that video coming soon. The gun in those photos is the same gun that was in my video. :)
    1
  17576. Nope.
    1
  17577. Me too.
    1
  17578. Military spec impact resistance, actually.
    1
  17579. Yes
    1
  17580. http://www.kearms.com/kp-9-ar
    1
  17581. Nope.
    1
  17582. You can engrave it anywhere you like. Only the serial number needs to be in metal.
    1
  17583. I happen to have one scheduled to post tomorrow...
    1
  17584. That's because it IS Taiwanese Marine camo. :)
    1
  17585. WhatPriceGlory.com
    1
  17586. +unnamedguy21 Yes, it can
    1
  17587. +Matthew Bozanich FCP X doesn't have one.
    1
  17588. +tsfcancerman Simply because that's the year they decided on the design.
    1
  17589. +Joel Coffey I don't have a particular unicorn gun, honestly.
    1
  17590. +geshbeddin Nope.
    1
  17591. +whynotanyting I am not an RIA employee; they let me in because they get lots of publicity from the videos. They get the guns from people selling guns off - often estates. I do some supplementary research for my videos, but I don't script them.
    1
  17592. +Rabennase3 No, I haven't.
    1
  17593. +BrotherhoodOfSpoons It's a 1911 shrug
    1
  17594. Considering one of the proof of concept rifles was an AR-180 kludged into a bullpup, I am confident in saying the copied it.
    1
  17595. +elektro3000 I think it's mainly that sights were only used at long range. Most shooting was done just by generally pointing the gun.
    1
  17596. VicariousReality7 Sure.
    1
  17597. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/t52e3-an-m60-prototype/
    1
  17598. Unfortunately, it was not filmed on an HD camera.
    1
  17599. Erik Adalbert von Silberer It's a simple German post - the same ZF4 scope used on G43 rifles.
    1
  17600. My friend Chuck Kramer is doing just that - you can follow his work at www.GunLab.net
    1
  17601. jwenting Actually, the FG was a completely separate development track. The basic design of the StG-44 was set by 1941, in the rifle that would enter production as the MKb42(H).
    1
  17602. I will film them sooner or later...
    1
  17603. They are free on YouTube and Playeur (Utreon).
    1
  17604. The problem is that YouTube wouldn't show something like that to hardly anyone - you would still not see it.
    1
  17605. I don't plan to leave YouTube until they kick me off. And yes, I do plan to visit Israel for filming, just don't know when.
    1
  17606. Rumble has generated a grand total of $0.00 for me in the six months or so that I've had videos posting there.
    1
  17607. If you are over there, there's no need to watch on YouTube.
    1
  17608. The channel is mirrored on Rumble already. Nobody actually watches there, or looks for it, they just come here to tell me to post there.
    1
  17609. No.
    1
  17610. I will continue to upload to Floatplane - all the same material as on Patreon
    1
  17611. No, sorry.
    1
  17612. +HM The Tsar of Russia Nope, it is Showa. My mistake.
    1
  17613. +tryston best No, the Japanese did not use military shotguns.
    1
  17614. Daniel Peterson There aren't any reproductions I am aware of, and even if there were they would not be exempt from the NFA.
    1
  17615. I do like the Mannlicher clip system, although it is generally inferior to detachable mags. And I did do one previous Thai gun: Type 45/66 Siamese Mauser
    1
  17616. You can see that one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abEq7bWROwA
    1
  17617. Tried; all the primers are dead. :(
    1
  17618. https://youtu.be/q1sbYHR0jxk
    1
  17619. No.
    1
  17620. That defunct project was for the first model FG42, with the swept-back grip and metal stock. The one I'm shooting here is made by SMG in Texas, and currently available new for $5k.
    1
  17621. I filmed it in January, before the 3+ was announced.

    1
  17626. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-windproof-smock/34637
    1
  17627. When I do a lot of video at a specific place, I make a point to spread it out over a long time so people don't feel like they are seeing the same thing over and over.
    1
  17628. It's Czechia, in January.
    1
  17629. Airflow.
    1
  17630. Yes, 8mm Mauser.
    1
  17631. Patreon videos don't have the raffle segments either.
    1
  17632. You can always join Patreon for $1/month and get a feed of ad-free videos.
    1
  17633. In the past 2 weeks, I have covered the FG42, Llama M87, CZ-38, Taiwanese T65, USMC Johnson 1941, Spanish AMELI, Croatian Pleter M91, and Romanian ZB30. Show me any other channel with that volume and variety...
    1
  17634. Probably, but I haven't looked.
    1
  17635. I did Desert Brutality with it in 2020.
    1
  17636. 100%, if you went to Desert Brutality 2002 :)
    1
  17637. Okay, but not great.
    1
  17638. There is one open to Patrons.
    1
  17639. No, neither. At least not to a significant degree.
    1
  17640. +zlatko vujevic I'm sure there is some in collectors' circles, but not in the shooting market.
    1
  17641. I don't have a specific ETA yet, but they are getting close - the pages are all printed, and we just need to bond them to the covers.
    1
  17642. https://youtu.be/cyIcPl7sQUg
    1
  17643. An elk antler, from the Ulm proof house.
    1
  17644. Definitely startling...
    1
  17645. FlipTheAngryAsian I don't know of any reproduction 1852 Sharps rifles being made - but if they were, they would have this problem. Most of the repro Sharps rifles out there are designed to use brass cartridges, and will not have this issue at all.
    1
  17646. I'm 5'10".
    1
  17647. Yeah, this is definitely worse. :)
    1
  17648. What? No I'm not.
    1
  17649. There will be, but not in the auction series. Sorry!
    1
  17650. No.
    1
  17651. Yes, the current iteration is the L98A2, which is basically just an L85A2 locked on semiauto mode.
    1
  17652. This is an A1; the Cadets now use the A2.
    1
  17653. I don't know.
    1
  17654. I put those links as suggested videos at the very end.
    1
  17655. Do you have any resources documenting this?
    1
  17656. To the best of my knowledge there was no long version.
    1
  17657. No.
    1
  17658. So you can zero it for whatever ammunition you are using.
    1
  17659. It's not for compensating for wind, it's for initially zeroing the pistol with your ammunition.
    1
  17660. No, I won't be able to make it this year.
    1
  17661. Some day I will get a fun cameo in something, hopefully. :)
    1
  17662. This prop was made from scratch, not from an original gun.
    1
  17663. I couldn't find anything definitive in the first episode to identify it.
    1
  17664. No, they made the prop from scratch.
    1
  17665. Here, let me just Google that for you. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0050959/
    1
  17666. I'm not sure, frankly.
    1
  17667. No, it's steel.
    1
  17668. Handguard to prevent you from burning your fingers on the barrel.
    1
  17669. No, because you can still buy originals for less than a reproduction would cost.
    1
  17670. Yes, but it's tricky.
    1
  17671. +ookiemand You mean like this? :) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9e3UCcU00TStxPreAQGbXjz4pyB1o0Xa
    1
  17672. +Michael King Yes, until it broke the gun.
    1
  17673. No.
    1
  17674. 7.62mm Tokarev and 7.63mm Mauser are dimensionally the same but not interchangeable. Do not use Tokarev ammo in C96 Mauser pistols!
    1
  17675. No, at least not in any significant quantity.
    1
  17676. With a rate reducer in the grip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgj3kRGknzM
    1
  17677. +lordchadmitchell The grip.
    1
  17678. +Diego Donlucas It should not be; these weren't introduced until 1930. I would not be surprised to see it in BF1 anyway, though.
    1
  17679. Legal, but still requiring NFA registration and the $200 transfer tax. Most people would prefer a semiauto only.
    1
  17680. What has been modified?
    1
  17681. Yes, regulated by the NFA just like today.
    1
  17682. I have done that, actually. Still didn't need the forward assist.
    1
  17683. I have one filmed, but until is posts, do a search for Howell Automatic Rifle. :)
    1
  17684. When the military adopted the AR-15, they designated it the M16.
    1
  17685. C&R status does apply to machine guns; it means that if you have a C&R license a machine gun can be shipped directly to you after the NFA transfer process is complete, instead of having to ship through a dealer in your state.
    1
  17686. C&R status only has relevance for people who have undergone a substantial background check to become licensed as firearms dealers (the C&R license is a subset of the Federal Firearms License).
    1
  17687. C&R status exists independent of the NFA. Machine guns can be C&R eligible, but they still must comply with NFA registration and transfer requirements.
    1
  17688. The spring is contained in a fixed buffer tube, which the stock slides on.
    1
  17689. Yes.
    1
  17690. +Matt Dickson Replacing the Thompson was a separate set of requirements and trials.
    1
  17691. Thanks!
    1
  17692. Yes; I own one.
    1
  17693. No.
    1
  17694. Glad you enjoy it!
    1
  17695. Yes.
    1
  17696. There are lots, but mostly from training. Not many were actually used in combat, and only right at the very end of the war, so there wasn't much opportunity to get photos of them in use.
    1
  17697. Sort of. We cannot print a French edition at the same time as the English one because they are completely different books.
    1
  17698. I have one filmed; not sure when it will publish.
    1
  17699. A Finnish M05 field cap from Varusteleka.
    1
  17700. Every one of them is being sold at this next Julia auction...
    1
  17701. I think that is probably from me over-controlling the gun, not from the comp alone.
    1
  17702. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-tst-verikauha-field-cap-m05-woodland-camo/51288
    1
  17703. Cuz guns are loud.
    1
  17704. The cap is actually Finnish M05.
    1
  17705. The compensator makes the blast much worse.
    1
  17706. If I can find one, I will.
    1
  17707. Colt was the licensed manufacturer of the BAR for North and South America.
    1
  17708. That is true of almost all guns.
    1
  17709. YouTube doesn’t like those videos. I will be doing one for this auction for Patreon and Utreon, though.
    1
  17710. Yes, it does.
    1
  17711. Unfortunately, no. We didn't have the opportunity to shoot it, and I doubt the owner would let us anyway, given its age and value.
    1
  17712. +LuckyShitZu Not that I am aware of.
    1
  17713. Yes.
    1
  17714. Since it's a reproduction, I doubt it.
    1
  17715. The US used 3 times as many M1917 Enfield rifles than M1903 Springfields in WW1. And they used puttees, too.
    1
  17716. He is a range officer, and he's holding an auditory timer.
    1
  17717. +JT Jensen That will never happen at a normal match, because it just takes too long to load. These stages all have 3-minute maximum times, and round counts of 10-30.
    1
  17718. +MrAstrojensen Yup, on the InRange TV channel.
    1
  17719. +bigglessy They absolutely are.
    1
  17720. +WoesiohanS It's in the description, I took 50th of 60. Bolt actions are tough to be competitive. :)
    1
  17721. +jrr6404116 They actually used more of the 1917s than 1903s.
    1
  17722. +random consumer Sure they are, I don't know what you are talking about.
    1
  17723. +William Wallace You might be able to find a Steyr M95M for that price, which would be a neat gun to have...
    1
  17724. +William Wallace Question is too general; it depends on what you are interested in.
    1
  17725. +Hassan Sarfraz Well, they are kinda used to me showing up with "different" things. :) Mostly the reaction was arched eyebrows at the amount of wool.
    1
  17726. +PlainSailingWeather That's a shot timer, for scoring.
    1
  17727. +Kyle Francis I had them wedged in my ammo belt pockets, because I didn't have a cavalry belt with pistol pouches. And then when I took of at a sprint they fell out.
    1
  17728. +Morkvonork They are basically microphones connected to stopwatches. They record the time of each shot.
    1
  17729. +Richard Lathrop That may happen one of these days...
    1
  17730. +FickZoRn007 I do play Verdun, but under a different screen name :)
    1
  17731. +Merle Morrison No, it sucked a lot.
    1
  17732. +P226nut Yes, it has a liner.
    1
  17733. +FenderTheDystopian 004 No, it's made of pretty thick steel.
    1
  17734. +jagx234 I hope to be able to do the Bergmann and Mannlicher systems later this year...
    1
  17735. +Tr4wnet Both pronunciations are correct; they are the same thing.
    1
  17736. No, I did not.
    1
  17737. Pump and slide action are the same thing.
    1
  17738. Nope.
    1
  17739. https://amzn.to/2IK2jBX
    1
  17740. Nope, not yet.
    1
  17741. +AmoebicMagician I said hammer because that's what it is called in the original Reising documentation.
    1
  17742. +GoredonTheDestroyer Yes, it was a crappy video with a couple mistakes in it. I have deleted it now that this much better one is up.
    1
  17743. +munkSWE88 At least a few did.
    1
  17744. +xorising Reising is better, in large part because it's in a pistol cartridge instead of 12ga.
    1
  17745. +이동연 Closed bolt, delayed blowback.
    1
  17746. +Hisoka2012 Not bad.
    1
  17747. +darrin goodbrand It's a submachine gun; accuracy is basically irrelevant.
    1
  17748. It means anyone can own it, not just machine gun dealers.
    1
  17749. The barrel was threaded for muzzle devices, and not with a silencer in mind - it's BARELY concentric enough for a PBS-1. I still haven't had the nerve to try the can and see if I get a destructive baffle strike on the first shot.
    1
  17750. 14x1 left; standard original AK.
    1
  17751. Yup, that's the one.
    1
  17752. https://www.patreon.com/SilahReport
    1
  17753. Sure, it's in the video description text.
    1
  17754. I use the flag from the time and place where a rifle was adopted or made. The Iraqi flag in the 1980s was different form the Iraqi flag today.
    1
  17755. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/group/m04-desert-camo/2660
    1
  17756. No, patents are typically 17 years (but can vary).
    1
  17757. That's actually a High Power. It's much too big to be an FN 1910.
    1
  17758. Yes, absolutely
    1
  17759. No, we are definitely not.
    1
  17760. None, but 4 of them use a Walther air pistol on the movie posters.

  17763. No, they are a notoriously inconsistent target.
    1
  17764. Machine guns.

    1
  17766. Oh noes! https://www.headstamppublishing.com/posters/poster-chassepot-to-famas
    1
  17767. I plan to, just don't know when.
    1
  17768. That would be a Springfield 1903.
    1
  17769. It's a New England Westinghouse M91.
    1
  17770. SPIW - Special Purpose Infantry Weapon. https://youtu.be/21qZpSJp5W0 https://youtu.be/qFANjlr4I9Q
    1
  17771. The rifle was originally developed commercially by Armalite, and named the AR-15. It was fully automatic, intended for military sales. The first small numbers purchased by the US military were commercial guns (by then made by Colt instead of Armalite, but still called the AR-15). When it was formally adopted as a military service rifle, it was given the designation M16, and commercial sales reverted to primarily semi automatic models for the civilian market.
    1
  17772. Originally, because Colt had no reason to make a separate line of unique upper receivers once all the military branches started using the forward assist. The companies that came after used the technical data package from Colt, so they also had the forward assist.
    1
  17773. Nope, this took place before the ammo issues began.
    1
  17774. No.
    1
  17775. Yeah, I know. The museum had some 7.7mm dummy rounds, but no 6.5mm. We tried the 7.7, but they just didn't fit well enough to show the function.
    1
  17776. Yes, it is similar to a belt-feed mechanism, but with pawls to hold 5 rounds simultaneously instead of just 2.
    1
  17777. Haven't done it yet, but it's on the list.
    1
  17778. Nope. I've seen Type 99 Nambus converted to 7.62x39 and .308, but never seen a converted Type 11. I suspect the feed system conversion would be too difficult to justify. And FWIW, I found the sights very usable left-handed, because the stock is actually in line with them. Granted that's from handling and not live fire.
    1
  17779. They will be once all four shirts are released.
    1
  17780. Awesome!
    1
  17781. Awesome!
    1
  17782. C&Rsenal do a bunch of shooting with one.
    1
  17783. Thanks!
    1
  17784. Wasn't planning on a new hoodie. What sort of design would you have in mind?
    1
  17785. It's uploading there right now. They take longer to post-process files than YouTube does.
    1
  17786. It is going well; my manuscript (without pictures) just passed 100 pages. I am hoping to have it available in the spring of 2019.
    1
  17787. Thanks! :)
    1
  17788. Someone didn't watch the whole video...
    1
  17789. Yes. I couldn't remember his name at the moment.
    1
  17790. IIRC, it's cock on opening, and it does have a half-cock notch. In fact, the striker goes to half-cock by default when you operate the bolt. It must be manually cocked for each shot.
    1
  17791. https://youtu.be/_hvgZ3qxzbw
    1
  17792. Amazon
    1
  17793. AKU boots
    1
  17794. A bunch.
    1
  17795. It's a Facta Non Verba Anthropoid, heavily inspired by the V42.
    1
  17796. Acta Non Verba Anthropoid
    1
  17797. Acta Non Verba Anthropoid
    1
  17798. It was cold out.
    1
  17799. Some machine guns in the US may be owned by anyone who can pass a background check, and these are called transferrable. Others can only be owned by licensed dealers, and those are called dealer samples. That's a bit of an oversimplification, but there you go.
    1
  17800. It's crazy how far and wide some things can travel...
    1
  17801. "Submachine gun" was a term coined by Thompson around 1920 to describe fully automatic arms firing pistol cartridges. The "sub" means less that a rifle-caliber machine gun.
    1
  17802. 100%
    1
  17803. Yeah, the rope lets you reset the plate rack from the shooting bench.
    1
  17804. Baffles.
    1
  17805. Yeah, it's really hard to accurately convey the sound of silenced firearms on video.
    1
  17806. To get better camera angles and lighting.
    1
  17807. Lots of people are better shooters than me…
    1
  17808. That should be done in Ukrainian to be properly useful.
    1
  17809. No.
    1
  17810. +phileas007 Because the breech is positively locked at the moment of firing.
    1
  17811. +Steve W. I did one on a Francotte .22 lookalike...
    1
  17812. +Steve W. I did one on a Francotte .22 lookalike...
    1
  17813. Yeah, just like an AK.
    1
  17814. The safety, which engages automatically between firings.
    1
  17815. The safety.
    1
  17816. People tried, but they never worked.
    1
  17817. There is not, alas.
    1
  17818. The standard holster prevents the safety from being accidentally disengaged.
    1
  17819. Right about $100,000.
    1
  17820. Yup.
    1
  17821. Yes - that is typical for AR type rifles.
    1
  17822. It is a semiauto new production rifle refitted with military parts and registered as a dealer sample.
    1
  17823. If I say that, it's because the rifle in question is fully automatic.
    1
  17824. https://youtu.be/J50N5lQoAFw
    1
  17825. And went out of business as a result.
    1
  17826. Karl would be faster than me with both guns.
    1
  17827. I interpreted the question as meaning original Armalite AR-10 pattern rifles.
    1
  17828. It's linked in the description. The English version published two years ago.
    1
  17829. Fantastic show.
    1
  17830. Do you watch Full30? Video publish there a couple days before YouTube.
    1
  17831. For mounting a sling.
    1
  17832. +McMacMastaMan I have no idea - when I got it, it was empty. It look neat, and at some point I will figure out some cool stuff to put inside it. :)
    1
  17833. Swiss medical chest.
    1
  17834. +Sweeny Just a neat empty box for decoration.
    1
  17835. No.
    1
  17836. +CMDR Sweeper Sure, you can make ammo without too much trouble.
    1
  17837. +michael johnson IIR, that was just grease.
    1
  17838. https://youtu.be/MSH0GwZj8BI https://youtu.be/NKxSkNxVVBE
    1
  17839. No, Morphys bought Julia.
    1
  17840. Bullpup.
    1
  17841. No connection I am aware of.
    1
  17842. The Hotchkiss Universal has a barrel that can be retracted into the receiver, but the MAT49 does not.
    1
  17843. Napoleon III, and I do look like him :)
    1
  17844. Dieudonne Apresdnepr Typically, the guns that gen Designer-Manufacturer names (like FN Browning, Roth-Steyr, etc) are the ones that are direct joint ventures with the two parties. Copies and modified copies, like Stars or Tokarevs, don't get that sort of name.
    1
  17845. Xerxes1688 Yep.
    1
  17846. Not to my knowledge.
    1
  17847. I didn't do an accuracy test - but the design certainly has a lot of potential accuracy if well made.
    1
  17848. Nope, just that the designer had plenty of experience shooting the FAL.
    1
  17849. Sorry, but no - I filmed this a month or two ago.
    1
  17850. Yes, probably.
    1
  17851. I haven't done one on the 1911 book.
    1
  17852. Maschinen Karabiner (Walther) or (Haenel).
    1
  17853. Everything got shorter with semi autos.
    1
  17854. @jmantime No, that particular Avtomat is not one we can shoot. I hope to find another that we can get to a range, though.
    1
  17855. Nope.
    1
  17856. TheCritisizingMelon Sure, if I can get my hands on one. The only ones I know of are in Germany.
    1
  17857. 1eyedude10 Ten time faster would be 0.1 seconds between shots. I doubt it. Also, I am left eye dominant. No matter how much faster it might be to operate the bolt right handed, aimed shooting would be slower because of the extra time it would take to make a good sight picture with my right eye. Besides, I pretty happy with my current speed.
    1
  17858. Taurevanime I could, because it would be a lot slower. The MAd Minute requires hits on target, and shooting offhand makes that more time consuming.
    1
  17859. F3LDK0CH First I've heard of it...
    1
  17860. https://youtu.be/W8Nyp-uwmIg
    1
  17861. No.
    1
  17862. Not yet.
    1
  17863. Yes.
    1
  17864. I prefer to compare it to Buffalo Bill Cody.
    1
  17865. Yes, I shot one.
    1
  17866. It doesn't work that way.
    1
  17867. Thanks!
    1
  17868. https://youtu.be/FuZmAtrRsN0
    1
  17869. No, I didn't do a video on it. I have one in the process of transferring to me, and I will be able to do much more detailed video on it than I could at an auction house. So I used the available time to cover other guns that I don't have myself.
    1
  17870. +Research Press Yeah, I realized that after it published. I will be recutting then video to fix it when I am able to.
    1
  17871. There is one in FN's collection in Liege. I've seen it, but wasn't allowed to photograph it at the time.
    1
  17872. We will, in time.
    1
  17873. I wouldn't use "light magnum" sort of stuff, but any reasonable .30-06 should be fine. It wasn't designed for the M2 ball that would be used with the Garand.
    1
  17874. No, I didn't do any work to it since the last video except clean up the magazines. The long time between videos was because I was waiting for it to clear NFA transfer.
    1
  17875. All machine guns are subject to the NFA, regardless of when they were made.
    1
  17876. I accidentally reversed the ftlb numbers. The joules figures are correct, and the ftlb ones are just swapped.
    1
  17877. French Army desert combat shirt.
    1
  17878. I'm not sure the 300 round issue is nearly as big of a deal as people think it is. Mag-dumping 15 magazines in a row is not something that would happen very often. Note that the M16 has a similar limit before you blow the gas tube. Granted, the M16 isn't intended to be a support weapon. As for my Chauchat, I'm not really looking to modify it but rather to learn about it as it existed in 1918.
    1
  17879. In wartime they were using brand new mags, not century-old rusty ones.
    1
  17880. The other match would be me with a 1918 BAR and Karl with an MP18. :) But we don't have either of those guns to use. :(
    1
  17881. Either a Gewehr 98 or an artillery Luger.
    1
  17882. I have no idea...
    1
  17883. In the French Army. :)
    1
  17884. Yes, indeed it will. :D
    1
  17885. if it has been recut, it was before I owned it.
    1
  17886. It's not hot enough for that to be an issue.
    1
  17887. Oops!
    1
  17888. To be honest, I don't know. I cleaned up the inside of the magazines, which may have made a difference, and I was using Wolf here instead of brass-cased PPU last time.
    1
  17889. The ftlb numbers are reversed.
    1
  17890. No, only for training in the US.
    1
  17891. These are original .30-06 Chauchat magazines.
    1
  17892. The Belgians, Poles, Yugoslavians, and Spanish - but only after WWI.
    1
  17893. Patience. Working with 100-year-old automatic weapons is a process.You don't do burnouts with a Model T on the first day you get it.
    1
  17894. It actually keeps water cool in the AZ summertime. :)
    1
  17895. The semicircular mags were the 8mm version; this is the .30-06 one.
    1
  17896. That shirt even has padding in the shoulders for armor. :)
    1
  17897. No, it has a semi/full selector lever.
    1
  17898. Yep.
    1
  17899. Nope. These have been C&R eligible for a long time - although being C&R doesn't really have much impact on a machine gun.
    1
  17900. I don't know of a book with a substantial amount of detail on the ZB26, at least not in English.
    1
  17901. That lever is not for locking, but to prevent bolt bounce. Without it, the G3 bolt will bounce open after it closes, and that could be a big problem in full-auto or very rapid fire if a second cartridge is touched off when the bolt isn't fully closed. Neither rifle is technically a locked breech; they are simply delayed blowback actions. I'll have a video out in a couple weeks showing a much earlier design that illustrates the bolt bounce phenomenon.
    1
  17902. Correct - it a roller-delayed blowback system, which is typically called "half locked" in German. The early Mauser prototypes shared this nameing convention. The gas operated, fully locked on was the Gerat 06, and the roller-delayed blowback adaptation was the Gerat 06H, with the H standing for halbverriegelt.
    1
  17903. The 510-4 muzzle brake is designed for NATO-standard rifle grenades, while the AMT's brake is not. That's the only difference I'm aware of.
    1
  17904. Bob Azadi Nope, I am not an employee (and I do work with the James Julia auction house as well) - but I do want to make the most of a great opportunity there!
    1
  17905. Thanks!
    1
  17906. Look to England; what actually happens is that they then decide the new solution is banning knives and pointy screwdrivers.
    1
  17907. 9x19
    1
  17908. Standard 9x19.
    1
  17909. Ryan Rountree The one I had access to was a Triple Threat, not a Triple Crown....Chiappa Triple Threat at the Range
    1
  17910. The 90 degree ones had sights and mounting hardware that are very clearly designed for armored vehicles, and cannot be removed to use on the rifle outside a vehicle. There are a couple examples at museums that you can look up photos of online and see for yourself.
    1
  17911. They firing (it's a repro StG45) is from this video: Last Ditch Innovation: The Development of the Gerat 06 and Gerat 06H Rifles and the out-of-battery detonation (a Ross MkIII) is from this one: Myth and Reality of the Ross MkIII Rifle
    1
  17912. I didn't have the tripod properly sandbagged down.
    1
  17913. Yes, I have and I really like it.
    1
  17914. This nomenclature changed after WW1.
    1
  17915. Cryptonomicon; one of my favorites.
    1
  17916. That's because it's one of the better royalty-free music tracks included with FinalCut Pro.
    1
  17917. No, dat not.
    1
  17918. It comes with FinalCut Pro.
    1
  17919. The original patent holder was Hiram Maxim, an American in the UK. The licensing agreement that provided rights for German production of the Maxim was signed in 1892, and only lasted 7 years. The Maxim patents had expired long before WW1 began, and there is no reason that Vickers would pay money to DWM for Maxim manufacture, much less the other way around.
    1
  17920. It does not circulate. Once it boils off, you pour more in.
    1
  17921. It is actually a prop shirt that was sold when the SciFi channel TV show Tremors ended.
    1
  17922. I got the shirt on eBay, when they sold off the props from the SciFi channel Tremors TV show.
    1
  17923. I speak a little Spanish and am working on learning French.
    1
  17924. There is no system; the can is just to condense the steam so you don't make a big visible cloud for the Germans to target with artillery.
    1
  17925. Doubt it all you like.
    1
  17926. No.
    1
  17927. The rims on the cartridges make reliably magazine design difficult, and there is no benefit to using rimmed cartridges rather than rimless ones.
    1
  17928. No, the bottom ov the V spring is fixed in place (pinned to the frame).
    1
  17929. +rolf ski Yes, I know
    1
  17930. No, not at all.
    1
  17931. I'm actually working on a whole book on that subject...
    1
  17932. Sorry, but I’m not in Slovenia any more
    1
  17933. Yeah, I know. But I don't speak German, and my pronunciation is going to be pretty bad regardless - so I just use the Anglicized pronunciation.
    1
  17934. +balood you can use paypal; to admin@forgottenweapons.com - thanks!

  17935. The Patreon perks are for active supporters.
    1
  17936. The same way as everyone else...
    1
  17937. The Stahlhelm came from Finland.
    1
  17938. +Chrzysztof I don't see why you couldn't...
    1
  17939. +May “A-T” Sparkle At least back to the 1890s Marlin was using that system. The Spencer uses a very similar system, too. Those are the two that come to mind off the bat...
    1
  17940. No, and there is no such thing as a “Class 3” license.
    1
  17941. If can only be legally reactivated if it is already a registered "dewat" (war trophy).
    1
  17942. Did it myself.
    1
  17943. Possibly - I will certainly try.
    1
  17944. I will.
    1
  17945. No.
    1
  17946. Yes.
    1
  17947. I use PPU.
    1
  17948. If you want to break the law on video, be my guest. I'm sure you will make a great test case.
    1
  17949. Two. :)
    1
  17950. Yes.
    1
  17951. +Cowmangii It didn't sell, meaning it probably failed to meet the seller's reserve price.
    1
  17952. +John Bonaros Yes.
    1
  17953. The French 1878 Navy rifle was a Kropatschek, made under license by Steyr.
    1
  17954. Yup, that.
    1
  17955. The Mosin has an interrupter so that you don't have to worry about rim orientation in the clips.
    1
  17956. It felt more like 80.
    1
  17957. +twiexcursori Percussion cap.
    1
  17958. 30 days.
    1
  17959. The PM-63 is an open bolt design: https://youtu.be/Ga4uoWmfEt4
    1
  17960. Matthew Moss Nope. That's outside the scope of this book.
    1
  17961. The ATF specifically exempts a number of historic pistols with stocks from the NFA. These include original artillery Lugers. You can see the whole list in this pdf: https://www.atf.gov/file/128116/download
    1
  17962. Yes.
    1
  17963. White is no-shoot.
    1
  17964. Lugers need full power ammunition to run reliably. Don't use +P, but also don't try to baby them with something underpowered.
    1
  17965. It's built into the glasses - www.aimcam.com
    1
  17966. +Andrew Duff Well if you do go, tell them you found out about them through Forgotten Weapons! :)
    1
  17967. +WV Mosineer Nope, those conversions were done in Yugoslavia in the mid 1920s.
    1
  17968. Yes, I could have set them all up there when I got to that point in the stage. Didn't think about doing that at the time.
    1
  17969. Yeah... 😬
    1
  17970. It is completely legal to build your own guns as long as they aren't NFA-regulated types.
    1
  17971. It is not in the US, and was not a US-assembled gun.
    1
  17972. Yes, 15%.
    1
  17973. It's not an AK.
    1
  17974. I have no control over the ads, unfortunately.
    1
  17975. Sometimes that is the only opportunity to be shooting.
    1
  17976. It was filmed at a big machine gun shoot.
    1
  17977. No, 8x57mm Mauser.
    1
  17978. 8x57.
    1
  17979. No, unless you were really good on the trigger.
    1
  17980. That's an StG45.
    1
  17981. A belt of 250 rounds would be fired in approximately 12 seconds if you just held the trigger down. People don't do that because it's not how one actually uses a machine gun. Proper use is controlled short bursts, to conserve ammunition and prevent overheating. Extended firing is almost never actually useful.
    1
  17982. Nope.
    1
  17983. With each belt. That keeps all the barrels relatively cool.
    1
  17984. +Kyle H98 This is not a replica, and they made tens of thousands of MG42s; there were tons of them not captured by Russians in Berlin.
    1
  17985. You mean the bipod? Because it's heavy and recoils a lot. You won't hit anything without using a support of some type, and the bipod is the natural one to use.
    1
  17986. Yes, that would work (in fact, that's the basic idea behind machine guns with water jackets, like the Maxim and Vickers) - but water is a lot heavier to carry around than a couple spare barrels.
    1
  17987. It is neither better nor worse; they both have different purposes.
    1
  17988. Sometimes I switch sides to get a better view with the camera.
    1
  17989. GoredonTheDestroyer Yes, the Spanish developed a 5.56mm version of the MG42, called the Ameli. Apparently it had some fragile parts, and wasn't considered very successful.
    1
  17990. Yes, there is an ATF-approved semiauto design for the 42 (and the 34, actually). Flem did build one, although he didn't design the conversion - they are quite a bit trickier to make than some of the other semiauto builds (AKs, Brownings, etc), but all the parts are commercially available for folks who want to take the plunge. Or you can spend the money to buy a semi already built by one of a couple different companies.
    1
  17991. +777scubadiver No, it didn't. Not at all.
    1
  17992. +Excurrahee Germans used a lot of steel cased ammo in WWII.
    1
  17993. If you can't the rifle when shooting at distance, your windage will be off.
    1
  17994. There are a couple, like the FG42
    1
  17995. Only in "advanced primer ignition" systems, which I will address in a separate video.
    1
  17996. Hotchkiss Universal.
    1
  17997. That's a Hotchkiss Universal.
    1
  17998. Open bolt, short recoil roller locked.
    1
  17999. These don't exist in 308, so I would consider it very uncommon.
    1
  18000. The catalog page has an estimate for each lot.
    1
  18001. The FS2000.
    1
  18002. All their Lugers are individually photographed; you can see exactly what you are getting.
    1
  18003. https://youtu.be/EPy_BdEDtzk
    1
  18004. Yes, that is a Puckle.
    1
  18005. Did one, a Darne Canardiere.
    1
  18006. Welcome!
    1
  18007. Colliers, not Puckle guns.
    1
  18008. The video channel was an outgrowth of the blog ForgottenWeapons.com, which I started as a hobby to preserve historical firearms information.
    1
  18009. I'm not interested in converting it to a different caliber. It's a historical piece, and I will either get it running in that configuration or not shoot it.
    1
  18010. When you pull the trigger, the bolt slams forward about 4 inches. If it's not counteracted by recoil from firing, the whole gun jerks forward as a result. It's not a flinch, it's just physics.
    1
  18011. The 922(r) US-made parts are receiver, barrel, muzzle device, disconnector, and magazine.
    1
  18012. It's listed there because I filmed and uploaded this a while back, and waited to publish it until now.
    1
  18013. It's there because the bolt carrier needs a certain amount of mass to work properly.
    1
  18014. They provided the gun, but did not pay me anything for the video.
    1
  18015. No, I did not talk to them about it - just my own prediction.
    1
  18016. No, those would need more delay than this system can provide within the limitations of the AR bolt carrier and receiver.
    1
  18017. Not enough gas pressure.
    1
  18018. Mean Arms
    1
  18019. I didn't pay any attention to them for a couple years, because I figured it just another of the same old blowback AR conversions.
    1
  18020. I really have no idea...
    1
  18021. Scope on the recoilless rifle.
    1
  18022. The benefit of the M8C is that it fires an exploding projectile so you can see the point of impact without giving away your own location. Without it, you would miss a lot by virtue of mis-estimating range.
    1
  18023. You don't want the gunner to have to move from his sight when observing fall of the spotter rounds and correcting aim.
    1
  18024. https://youtu.be/olLjXYKfUYA
    1
  18025. What did I get wrong?
    1
  18026. Already did ;) https://youtu.be/cTRKcT68uJI?t=445
    1
  18027. As you request: https://youtu.be/cTRKcT68uJI?t=445
    1
  18028. I was wondering how many people would make that connection :)
    1
  18029. There is no way of knowing who it was issued to.
    1
  18030. https://youtu.be/-g0YFJ24OTc
    1
  18031. Not yet, but it will be in a couple months.
    1
  18032. They provided the gun, but did not pay me.
    1
  18033. They are about the same size.
    1
  18034. Yep: http://www.dictionary.com/browse/schlepp
    1
  18035. She was one of the employees of the auction company.
    1
  18036. We had a couple rounds that failed to fully eject.
    1
  18037. Yiddish, but in common use in English.
    1
  18038. It is a Finnish M05 cap from Varusteleka.com
    1
  18039. .50 inch is 12.7mm.
    1
  18040. That's in the works ;)
    1
  18041. You can enter $1 as a manual pledge level, no problem.
    1
  18042. They are in the works.
    1
  18043. Can you please email me at admin@forgottenweapons.com?
    1
  18044. When they actually release them I certainly will.
    1
  18045. The MacBook is made in China; the Romeo9T is completely made in the US.
    1
  18046. We like guns
    1
  18047. Early 2020, although I continued to be in some collaborative content around WWSD and Brutality for a little while.
    1
  18048. Nope.
    1
  18049. Nope.
    1
  18050. Surprisingly, the most painful part was getting the IV line for the CT contrast fluid.
    1
  18051. https://youtu.be/DwkA8fSHOSw
    1
  18052. Yes, in 1866 they started using the King patent loading gate. :)
    1
  18053. Yes, a sheriff's deputy came out to investigate.
    1
  18054. Yes. Doesn't help much when you are sitting the dirt bleeding.
    1
  18055. We are working on it :)
    1
  18056. No. It's small enough that it has never set off a metal detector.
    1
  18057. No, my book only covers rifles. For the Chauchat, I suggest "Honor Bound": https://amzn.to/2Jdu5KK
    1
  18058. This is a much improved video with a lot more information.
    1
  18059. Probably film that was reversed.
    1
  18060. Oh, absolutely. :)
    1
  18061. Exactly.

  18062. There are some other Australians coordinating a group order to save on shipping: https://old.reddit.com/r/ForgottenWeapons/comments/bjixnc/coordinating_international_orders_for_ians_book/
    1
  18063. The Desert Eagle is available in .44 Magnum.
    1
  18064. No, the Wildey in Death Wish 3 is a Wildey, not an Auto Mag.
    1
  18065. And that's why he gets the big views... XD
    1
  18066. I have one myself, actually- just haven’t filmed it yet
    1
  18067. There was a version of the Pedersen Device designed for the Mosin, but never put into production.
    1
  18068. Grandpa was a badass. :)
    1
  18069. Yes, the cranks handle is spring loaded and will snap back around if you let go of it. I wanted to do it gently.
    1
  18070. Yes.
    1
  18071. Everyone who clicks the Julia catalog link and reads their description and price estimate does...
    1
  18072. No, it cannot be changed.
    1
  18073. Why would that be surprising? VKT was making both these and M39s at the same time.
    1
  18074. No, it always locks open.
    1
  18075. Yes, it has a rubber pad.
    1
  18076. Yes, these are less expensive than most people expect.
    1
  18077. The vents for the gas piston - all piston-operated rifles do this, but the size of this behemoth makes it more visible.
    1
  18078. Yes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9CZO3jFUz4
    1
  18079. Well, you can buy this one...
    1
  18080. Clearly you did not watch the video.
    1
  18081. The gun is a registered DD, non-explosive projectiles are not.
    1
  18082. He was on the Big Tex Ordnance podcast a few months ago: https://youtu.be/-PZh4fWSghQ
    1
  18083. We actually have a video coming specifically on the "one Chinese red dot factory"... :)
    1
  18084. Alternative facts. Both are the ultimate.
    1
  18085. Saguaros exist only in a small area of the desert southwest, and grow extremely slowly, living for centuries. Down here we take their protection very seriously, and enforce serious punishments on those who damage them.

    1
  18088. Nambu, every time.
    1
  18089. It's the equivalent of stepping on a rake.
    1
  18090. The standard magazine is a rotary type, with 10 rounds wound up inside. The extended magazine is just a single long stack of cartridges, but it has to be the same width to fit in the gun properly.
    1
  18091. 6.5 Swedish.
    1
  18092. No, a Swedish Mauser in 6.5x55 is easily a much better rifle than a Finnish Mosin in 7.62x54.
    1
  18093. Yes, eventually.
    1
  18094. You don’t want to unlock the bolt if you have a potential hangfire.
    1
  18095. No, just figured it would be the more normal way to have the gun start.
    1
  18096. Scoring for BUG is a maximum of 7 points per target. A is worth 5, C is 3, and D is 1. All hit count up to a max of 7. I did three fast shots instead of 2 slower ones because I figured I had enough ammo to do so safely and it would be a better scoring way to go.
    1
  18097. No. At least one company has talked about doing it, but nothing has been done.
    1
  18098. I had to remove all direct links when YouTube instituted new policies. Sorry.
    1
  18099. After WWI the German government confiscated all the guns in public circulation, and the ones it kept were restamped 1920.
    1
  18100. No, not yet.
    1
  18101. YouTube policies happened.
    1
  18102. Just for chewing on.
    1
  18103. Drinks globe is in a different room.
    1
  18104. .303.
    1
  18105. Wouldn't surprise me.
    1
  18106. It was made before the 1980s.
    1
  18107. Yes, .300 Savage was introduced in the Model 81.
    1
  18108. Tang sights like that were pretty common on rifles of that era and before.
    1
  18109. You get to see them as soon as I can get my hands on examples to shoot and/or disassemble! I do have articles about them over on ForgottenWeapons.com, though.
    1
  18110. Meh - ejection is nice and gentle. If you're a lefty and want to sell your Model 8 cheap, let me know. :)
    1
  18111. LiveToLose Whoops. :)
    1
  18112. Fairly rare, unless you count military rifles sold as surplus.
    1
  18113. Yes - I mention that in the video.
    1
  18114. It's illegal, and if you get caught you will be in trouble.
    1
  18115. Rifles are captured in significant numbers only when an army is advancing and taking ground. Germany captured lots of SVTs in the early phase of the war in the East. They were never in a position to take significant ground from American forces though. From the time Americans landed in France Germany was in basically constant retreat.
    1
  18116. Right next to the MAS-40 and the Type 5.
    1
  18117. Most of the German factories continued to operate right up to the moment of occupation.
    1
  18118. It goes to an FFL.
    1
  18119. They are very cool rifles, but had no impact on the war.
    1
  18120. Cleaning rod.
    1
  18121. That's a cleaning rod.
    1
  18122. Cleaning rod.
    1
  18123. Yes, that's how most mortars work.
    1
  18124. Illumination and signal flares.
    1
  18125. Signal and illumination flares.
    1
  18126. Illumination flares.
    1
  18127. Signal and illumination flares.
    1
  18128. Unit 2357 Yep, totally different guns. They just both happened to be named for the Roman god of war.
    1
  18129. NFA if it used rimfire ammo, maybe exempt it is used pinfire ammo.
    1
  18130. j0nthegreat Glue is sufficient if you only shoot a little bit; a concealed dowel or biscuit joint is the better was to repair them. It's not uncommon to find then completely loose, as souvenir guns were often simply trophies to hand on the wall.
    1
  18131. j0nthegreat Yes - common practice with American troops bringing back souvenir rifles. The standard Army duffel bag was too short to fit a rifle, so you would pull the stock off and cut the foreend off under the front band. The resulting pieces would then be short enough to fit.
    1
  18132. Yes, we will have it available by itself once the books are in from the printer.
    1
  18133. icrem
    1
  18134. Yup.
    1
  18135. No, it was pretty similar before 1994.
    1
  18136. New production guns cost about the same as in the US; collectibles are mostly cheaper. Machine guns are quite cheap, because few people can legally buy them (ie, not much demand).

    1
  18241. viking93ify The issue with roller-delayed blowback is that it is dependent on having the delaying angles calculated and cut just right. Different bullet weights and velocities change that calculation, and I think that's mostly responsible for the problems with it in .223. Too many widely varying loads being used by folks, whereas the 7.62x51 guns pretty much all use NATO spec ammo. FWIW, this was also the cause of problems in the lever-delayed FAMAS - it was engineered for 55gr ammo and has reliability problems with 62gr.
    1
  18242. Strictly speaking, the term "recoil operated" means that the bolt and barrel of the weapon are pushed rearward by the recoil energy from firing. This is different from delayed blowback, where the barrel is fixed in place.
    1
  18243. No - they reduced the spring weight at the same time that they removed the SA function.
    1
  18244. You are probably thinking of the Astra 900 series.
    1
  18245. Yes, the originals fired from an open bolt. The period photos showing it closed were either taken at the moment of firing or (more typically) posed shots in theater.
    1
  18246. Yes, because it is semi-auto only.
    1

  18302. I have seen them - in fact, I have a reproduction one on order to use on this DPM. :)
    1
  18303. A hold-open could probably be done, but would take a lot of redesign, since the magazines aren't designed to engage a hold-open. Considering the number of units that will sell, this would add a ton to the cost, and not be worthwhile. On the other note, I do have a couple LS26 mags, although I have not had a chance to shoot or disassemble one of the guns.

    1
  18331. Sorry - I have no control over the ads. :(
    1
  18332. It could be dangerous in the case of a particularly bad hangfire, if you kept cycling the action and the shell detonated while not lined up with the barrel. However, that's a potential issue in basically every DA revolver ever made, so I wouldn't call it a major concern special to the Striker/Streetsweeper.
    1
  18333. Yeah...there's actually a lot wrong with the Streetsweeper. It's a piece of junk. Everyone ought to be free to buy one if they want, but nobody should actually do it. :)
    1
  18334. I never said anything about approving of their designation as NFA weapons, or about being in favor of the NFA in the first place.
    1
  18335. They went to the manufacturer and the distributors and got customer lists. ATF has done the same thing many times with other items, including some CZ-24 parts kits a few years ago.

    1
  18337. Yes. I have a great article on the Błyskawica on my web site, though I haven't done the MP3008 yet.
    1
  18338. J H Well, in a nutshell I do think that the whole concept of a fixed-drum DA shotgun is a solution looking for a problem. I don't see much utility for a 15" long, 5" wide SBS with a 12-round capacity. If you like it, great! "Cuz it's fun" is a totally legit reason to own a gun - I certainly have plenty of totally impractical and unnecessary guns just because I think they're neat. But for any sort of practical application, I think that even the best-built shotgun of this configuration is going to be inferior to a quality pump or conventional autoloader, even if those guns have less magazine capacity.
    1
  18339. I thought I was fairly clear that the Streetsweeper was the el-cheapo version, and that the Striker and Protecta guns were better.
    1
  18340. No, it fires when the trigger is fully pulled back.
    1
  18341. Sure - if I can ever get my hands on one (which would be awesome) I'll get video of it.

  18354. The Vatican Swiss Guard has been in continuous operation since 1506…
    1
  18355. I think the desirability of the Walker has been blown rather out of proportion - I think there are a lot of other guns that deserve to be more highly valued than the Walker. In particular, looking at the massive difference in price between the early Dragoons and the Walkers shows that things are askew.
    1
  18356. +Ben M It's because muzzle energy is kinetic energy: mass times velocity squared. As such, an increase in velocity contributes a lot more energy than an increase in bullet mass. The .45 Colt is shooting a bullet nearly double the weight of the Walker's round ball, but at a lower velocity. So while the .45 Colt is the more effective round in most real-world applications, the Walker will have a similar or potentially higher muzzle energy. The takeaway here is to understand what different numbers actually represent, and determine which ones are most relevant to whatever you are trying to figure out.

  18377. Old Western Scrounger.
    1
  18378. Rails and optics cuts are coming on later releases.
    1
  18379. I got a T&E one to try; it malfed a lot and they said they would replace it with a new one. They never did.
    1
  18380. Still working out the France plan details. The 1950 pistols are quite scarce here in the US, and I have not yet had mine out to the range - it only arrives a couple days ago.
    1
  18381. It's a kit build.
    1
  18382. Thank you!
    1
  18383. Thanks!
    1
  18384. Yes.
    1
  18385. Nope.
    1
  18386. Some of each.
    1
  18387. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU_emAFbXGI
    1
  18388. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIGIBJeRfnQ
    1
  18389. No, I did that.
    1
  18390. Yep.
    1
  18391. Lucky, I had to buy this one. ;)
    1
  18392. CavArms/GWACS
    1
  18393. Nope.
    1
  18394. That is the Charlton. I have not done video on it, but I have information on them at ForgottenWeapons.com .
    1
  18395. Nope.
    1
  18396. Nope, not yet. It's on the list though.
    1
  18397. Yup
    1
  18398. My full match run was done with an M39. That video will post in a week or two.
    1
  18399. WWSD 2020, being sold by Brownells.
    1
  18400. We shoveled out the path for the kettlebell, but that left about an 18" snow berm to shoot over.
    1
  18401. No, there is not. We experimented with is in 2017 and decided against it.
    1
  18402. My main match run was done with a Mosin. :)
    1
  18403. No.
    1
  18404. No, just don't cycle the bolt until you are in the next firing position.
    1
  18405. Correct.
    1
  18406. All the details are in the description text.
    1
  18407. Yep
    1
  18408. The point is to exhaust you, and to reward strength - the farther you can throw it, the fewer times you have to go prone and get up.
    1
  18409. Nothing.
    1
  18410. I bought it from Varusteleka.
    1
  18411. Custom molded plugs. I can't really give you a direct link, because they have to be made in person, not ordered online.
    1
  18412. They are interchangeable.
    1
  18413. The silencer was invented in 1909.
    1
  18414. Yes.
    1
  18415. 6lb 3oz with a red dot and no mag.
    1
  18416. I used the online e-file system, and it took about 4 weeks to come back approved.
    1
  18417. You can get them with 16" barrels, or with short barrels and arm braces.
    1
  18418. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uoy14h6K5TY
    1
  18419. There was no NATO standard rifle. The 7.62x51mm cartridge was adopted as standard, but no rifle. The same thing happened again in the 1980, when the Belgian SS109 5.56mm cartridge was adopted, but once again no standard rifle was chosen.
    1
  18420. One typically interprets this as equality under the law.
    1
  18421. Yes!
    1
  18422. +Fishkiller 41 In the description.
    1
  18423. Working on it... :)
    1
  18424. Yeah, that's why nobody uses their membership system.
    1
  18425. Yes, they have an app.
    1
  18426. We could all leave and Youtube literally would not notice the drop in revenue. in fact, they would really appreciate it, because they would prefer not to have gun content on YouTube at all.
    1
  18427. No.
    1
  18428. As they have pointed out, the people who sold YouTube to Google back in 2006 should be kicking themselves for a stupid decision, because ethyl would have made massively more money by keeping it themselves.
    1
  18429. I had no hand in creating Utreon.
    1
  18430. Yes, YouTube does offer that. They take a 30% cut, and they still don't deign to give you any way to communicate with them about rules and policies and such.
    1
  18431. No, YouTube has a channel membership/subscription option that almost nobody uses, because it takes a 30% cut.
    1
  18432. Your viewership is best for me on Utreon.
    1
  18433. Yes.
    1
  18434. The minimum tier on Utreon is $4.99. And this is a universal issue based on payment processors. If you pledge $1 on Patreon, your creator will get something like 60 cents. They tried to shift the processing cost on top of pledges a few years back, and people absolutely freaked out at it.
    1
  18435. Yup, exactly.
    1
  18436. No.
    1
  18437. Wouldn't change anything. The problem is with the magazines themselves.
    1
  18438. No, it hasn't.
    1
  18439. The M1915 Chauchats had interchangeable parts; no reason these would not as well. I am not aware of anyone actually testing it, though - these are quite rare today.
    1
  18440. Different version of the gun using a different cartridge.
    1
  18441. By the end of this week, I will have posted videos on all four.
    1
  18442. I am shocked to hear that a movie managed to focus on gore and explosions and miss the intellectual nuance of a book.
    1
  18443. Basically, it doesn't do enough better than the M4 to justify the cost of changing over.
    1
  18444. They do not offer enough advantages over the M4/M16 to justify the cost of replacement.
    1
  18445. Indeed!
    1
  18446. Oh, we have several stretch goal still to go!
    1
  18447. https://youtu.be/C-hxiHJvjJs
    1
  18448. Yes, I would definitely like to do some more after this one. Not sure of the subject matter yet; I have a couple different ideas I'm considering.
    1
  18449. Awesome, thanks!
    1
  18450. No, just pledge the price of the two books plus one shipping fee.
    1
  18451. Yes - we can send up to six books for a single shipping fee.
    1
  18452. Thank you!
    1
  18453. Thanks!
    1
  18454. The regular retail book will have a red cover like you see in the thumbnail. The Kickstarter ones are blue.
    1
  18455. We can ship up to 6 books for the same rate; perhaps you can find someone local to split shipping with? https://old.reddit.com/r/ForgottenWeapons/comments/bjixnc/coordinating_international_orders_for_ians_book/
    1
  18456. Thank you!
    1
  18457. Thanks!
    1
  18458. Yes, it will. What's your serial number?
    1
  18459. No, and the MG42 is not an inaccurate weapon to begin with.
    1
  18460. It is a DefCon shirt - Karl and I gave a Skytalks presentation there this year.
    1
  18461. Very tough materials are correspondingly very difficult to machine to a high degree of precision.
    1
  18462. Thanks for the more detailed info!
    1
  18463. Yes.
    1
  18464. Yes it is.
    1
  18465. No, this doesn't have any aliens or ice road truckers.
    1
  18466. Shooting yourself in the leg during the draw is the fastest possible first shot, you know.
    1
  18467. That's an entirely valid option. Patrons get videos without any advertisements, including these giveaway segments.
    1
  18468. Found it at a gun show years ago.
    1
  18469. Keep in mind that only the first four issues were called the Wipers Times - after that they moved, and the later ones were the New Church Times, Kemmel Times, Somme Times, BEF Times, and Better Times.
    1
  18470. I have not read that, so I can't comment on it.
    1
  18471. Cool - thanks! I did not know about that edition.
    1
  18472. I am planning to be, yes.
    1
  18473. SDI doesn't do any in-person classes, so I don't think that would really work.
    1
  18474. Don't have to look it up; I already filmed one. :) https://youtu.be/FEIDJMs0aK0
    1
  18475. Because the Bren is substantially better than the Lewis
    1
  18476. No, not this one.
    1
  18477. It was on this channel before it was in BF1. If fact, it's only in BF1 because it was here on this channel.
    1
  18478. Ammunition is basically unavailable. And the guns are very rare.
    1
  18479. Old, really?
    1
  18480. This wasn't made for soldiers, it was made for dainty women who wanted a cute purse gun.
    1
  18481. You have not sent me the ammunition for it yet, that's the reason.
    1
  18482. When did Hungary get the exclusive license on the word?
    1
  18483. Andy Coakes I have no idea...
    1
  18484. It's very similar.
    1
  18485. Yes, because they adopted the SLR.
    1
  18486. It's pretty dirty inside too. ;)
    1
  18487. +Greg Miller It cam eup in the last Q&A video...
    1
  18488. Yes, I have one to two more from there. I only had one day to film there, so I only had time for a couple.
    1
  18489. The brand name, so to speak, would be Bergmann.
    1
  18490. https://youtu.be/YkOdwF1_E1A
    1
  18491. Yup, standard 9x19
    1
  18492. Shermans.
    1
  18493. Yes.
    1
  18494. The ejectors were deliberately deactivated to save wear and tear on the brass.
    1
  18495. It was a live shell (two, actually).
    1
  18496. No, but it would be able to take out APCs and lighter tanks.
    1
  18497. Yes, it is rifled. The primer is obviously larger than a rifle primer, and typically also uses an intermediate booster charge of fast-burning powder to ignite the main body of propellant. The 1-mile limit is an effective range, and it is set by accuracy and gravity. A 15-lb projectile will be pulled down to earth at the exact same rate as a rifle bullet, and eventually the elevation required to lob a projectile way out there is greater than the direct-fire sights will allow. Plus, of course, there is a limit to the distance at which you can reasonably expect to hit a tank-sized target.
    1
  18498. +Costantino Andruzzi Why do you think it is dangerous?
    1
  18499. No, I don't have any military experience. And yeah, I should do some videos with my hair down. :)
    1
  18500. 20mm
    1
  18501. Sterling used it later; that video is coming in a week or two.
    1
  18502. I have no idea.
    1
  18503. Yes, barrel diameter is identical.
    1
  18504. Nope.
    1
  18505. Yes.
    1
  18506. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/terava-jaakaripuukko-140-carbon-steel/63686
    1
  18507. Don't fire slugs.
    1
  18508. It is, and it is.
    1
  18509. Evdoku It has two legs, so to speak, that straddle the magazine well.
    1
  18510. Matthew Choquette Yes, I will be.
    1
  18511. marzcorp You're confusing open bolt with blowback. They are both used in the vast majority of SMGs, but are separate things. There can be closed-bolt blowback (like most small-caliber semiauto pistols) and locked open bolt guns (like this one, and many rifle-caliber machine guns)
    1
  18512. Antwon Jenkins Well, do give them the credit for not actually adopting it.
    1
  18513. No, basic SMGs aren't really using API. Take a look at the Oelikon 20mm guns to see an example of true API (which uses rebated-rim cartridges).
    1
  18514. Yes
    1
  18515. The plan is to print enough this time to actually have them in stock for a good while.
    1
  18516. Yes, absolutely (although it's expensive to do).
    1
  18517. We put it in a box and FedEx delivers it to you. :)
    1
  18518. The best I can offer is that we can ship up to 6 copies for the same shipping rate, so if you can find another person or two to join an order it will make the shipping much more reasonable. We are working on finding a European fulfillment center, but it will not be in place for these.
    1
  18519. Yes
    1
  18520. I have done two, on sniper variations.
    1
  18521. Feel free to send me some photos at admin@forgottenweapons.com and I will see what I can tell you.
    1
  18522. My degree is in mechanical engineering technology, which is reasonably relevant to the manufacturing side of firearms.
    1
  18523. It's not uncommon for a serial number plan to be something like double zero prefix for a first prototype batch, single zero prefix for trials guns, and then regular numbers for regular production.
    1
  18524. Sorry, typo - should be 1797.
    1
  18525. Sorry; I have no control over the ads.
    1
  18526. Nope. You are thinking of a similar, but different, gun.
    1
  18527. Nope.
    1
  18528. Someone ought to order one and see what (if anything) they get.
    1
  18529. You can order one from Brownells. They sold out when Karl's video posted, and they will order more to meet back orders.
    1
  18530. Ground Warfare Acoustic Combat Systems.
    1
  18531. That was S&W, and they actually just bought a license to the patent from the guy who was granted it, Rollin White.
    1
  18532. I believe they are the same company.
    1
  18533. What I understood from his deposition is that his stance has changed from 2011, and he no longer likes ARs.
    1
  18534. One might think they were not even in business.
    1
  18535. What I understood from his deposition is that his stance has changed from 2011, and he no longer likes ARs.
    1
  18536. There are two standard Pedersen clips, one for the T1 and PB models (which can only be inserted one direction) and one for the PA model (which can be loaded in either direction, like an M1 clip). However, both of those are made for .276 caliber cartridges. The GX clips would need to hold .30-06 cartridges, and thus be different from the previous types of clips.
    1
  18537. Thank you!
    1
  18538. Actually, the tour is full.
    1
  18539. Yes, that is correct. Very few people did because of the practical issues associated with carting around 8 foot long, 100+ pound guns with really expensive ammo, but they were available.
    1
  18540. It will be.
    1
  18541. +Trump Knows Best You're Fired! Not necessarily dirtier, but made to looser tolerances. Greater variation in powder charge, OAL, etc.
    1
  18542. +Viraqua I am always learning.
    1
  18543. +TheGuerillapatriot Treaty with whom?
    1
  18544. +Matt Dickson I read comments as much as I can and answer the ones that I can, but I have a lot of other things demanding time, and can't make any guarantees.
    1
  18545. +104jones I don't really know - I haven't seen enough examples to get a good notion of a trend.
    1
  18546. +Isaaxz123 They occasionally come up for sale; major auction houses are a good place to look.
    1
  18547. It was a good-condition Israeli mag.
    1
  18548. It became Zimbabwe in 1980-1982. South-eastern Africa.
    1
  18549. No, it's 9x19.
    1
  18550. It's about 13,000 miles outside ATF's jurisdiction. :)
    1
  18551. Yeah, I misinterpreted his name and his Israeli home. Mishmar Hayarden is where he lived; Balashnikov was his original name.
    1
  18552. It is literally the very first line in the description text.
    1
  18553. Depends how it goes. :)
    1
  18554. I'm just not a big fan of absinthe myself.
    1
  18555. They sold out in about the first 2 days.
    1
  18556. I really wish it were less, but that is what FedEx charges us.
    1
  18557. Yes, it will be.
    1
  18558. Thanks!
    1
  18559. September 2018.
    1
  18560. Glad you like it!
    1
  18561. I still need and RSC-1918. :)
    1
  18562. Actually, I was not planning to translate it into French. There are a number of references already published in French.
    1
  18563. Thanks!
    1
  18564. No, he doesn't.
    1
  18565. Yes, a bunch of them are coming over to join us in the Desert Brutality 2018 major 2-Gun match InRangeTV is running in February.
    1
  18566. Thanks!
    1
  18567. A semiauto one, yes.
    1
  18568. MAT-49 video posts in about 2 weeks.
    1
  18569. No, it's a semiauto from Midwest Metal.
    1
  18570. French F2 Daguet.
    1
  18571. Massive bandwidth cost.
    1
  18572. Thanks! :)
    1
  18573. Thanks!
    1
  18574. Yes, a CR39 variant.
    1
  18575. No, not the same one I did that video on early.
    1
  18576. Naturabuy.fr
    1
  18577. I have been to that ceremony, actually. Very moving!
    1
  18578. No.
    1
  18579. +Joe It does not reciprocate when you fire.
    1
  18580. +Peter Timowreef It is pretty cool. :)
    1
  18581. +Jim Hoover Thanks!
    1
  18582. It didn't run properly, and I decided to wait until I had proper shooting footage to use.
    1
  18583. +everett higginbotham That's a Cosmi shotgun.

  18624. The modern solution is a charge of compressed air through the breech.
    1
  18625. +Jonas Kilian I would rather eat an animal shot in a field than one raised in an industrial warehouse, for both ethical and nutritional reasons.
    1
  18626. +snowlothar I have typically seen gauge used in reference to smoothbore guns and bore for rifles ones when discussing this sort of gun. Could be wrong though; this is not my specialty.
    1
  18627. +Brandon Fisher If you have the money, you can always get something like this made, although I don't know a source offhand. You won't find something like this in the retail catalog of a mass production repro company though.

  18629. Absolutely :)
    1
  18630. No

  18633. Martial.
    1
  18634. Martial. As in, used by the military.

  18636. Yes…

  18637. Martial.
    1
  18638. I found that at a gun show, and the guy didn't have a web site.
    1
  18639. Awesome, thanks!
    1
  18640. Canon XA20
    1
  18641. Necessary with an MG34 belt - it wouldn't have been if we'd had a proper MG08 belt.
    1
  18642. I was wondering if anyone would ask about that... I cover it in the full video (which will be out in a week or two). It's to allow one-handed charging of the gun. Normally on a Maxim you have to pull the belt with one hand and run the handle with the other when loading or clearing a malfunction, but that isn't practical for an aviator to do.
    1
  18643. Assuming you mean the 1914 Hotchkiss, it's good but I would rather have a Maxim. The Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon isn't really directly comparable to the Maxim.
    1
  18644. I hope so too!
    1
  18645. No.
    1
  18646. Yes.
    1
  18647. Yes, it did.
    1
  18648. Interesting - I don't know!
    1
  18649. Once you chamber a round, you only have 7 in the magazine.
    1
  18650. No tour, sorry. And none of those videos have been published yet; I just got home from the trip this week.

    1
  18654. CMMG got their inspiration form the Reising SMG, actually.
    1
  18655. Not that I know of
    1
  18656. You're thinking of the VP-70, a different HK pistol (which we will be doing a video on later this year).
    1
  18657. I've shot a Mateba pistol, but never handled one of the carbines.
    1
  18658. Seen one, but not shot one (yet).
    1
  18659. Youtube blocked it for having a swastika in the thumbnail image.
    1
  18660. It's for leading aircraft.
    1
  18661. Yeah, they would.
    1
  18662. I would never blur a swastaca.
    1
  18663. The .223 barrel is compatible with .22LR, as long as you have a chamber adapter.
    1
  18664. You can watch a live video feed through Proxibid.
    1
  18665. Yes.
    1
  18666. Registration was free.
    1
  18667. I did; it's coming.
    1
  18668. At the time ATF was a part of Treasury, because the NFA is fundamentally a tax law (hence the tax stamps).
    1
  18669. It would still be an AOW because of the front grip.
    1
  18670. They are not.
    1
  18671. That's just grease.
    1
  18672. The Suomis were cut into kits for US import long before BRP got them.
    1
  18673. No, they are not (legally speaking).
    1
  18674. This rifle does not automatically open the pan when firing. Some do; not all.
    1
  18675. It's a reproduction British officer's cap from What Price Glory.
    1
  18676. stereomike111 Yeah, that would have been a good option. Johnson thought that bayonets were pretty much obsolete, though, and I don't think he was particularly interested in finding a way to mount one on the rifle.
    1
  18677. The fellow running the camera on this video (and the G43 one) is the rifle's owner, a vet who is running on about 1/3 of a lung. If I had realized that his breathing would be as noticeable, I would have used a different mic setup - but I didn't realize it when we were filming.
    1
  18678. No, the Steyr guns are the Austrian Army StG-58s.
    1
  18679. Leaving out stuff produced under German occupation during WW2, you are correct.
    1

  18681. +Sean Dali The auction is in about a week.
    1
  18682. I had a bit of a cold when I filmed this one.
    1
  18683. Thanks!
    1
  18684. Unfortunately, in the US we cannot have original machine guns blocked to semiauto only.
    1
  18685. Tea.
    1
  18686. No - the Borchardt is quite bulky and I would prefer a revolver to it.
    1
  18687. Smith Machine Group makes a modern reproduction in 8mm and 308 for $5k.
    1
  18688. +Vulf Almasy It is much easier to jump with than an MG34, and that's what it was primarily replacing.
    1
  18689. Gahlok12 Nope, I haven't. I have not had the chance to get my hands on a first model one yet.
    1
  18690. There are orders of magnitude more MG-42s in the NFA registry than FG-42s. 
    1
  18691. SMGGuns.com
    1
  18692. The cartridge is still headspacing on the shoulder, so it shouldn't affect accuracy.
    1
  18693. Gahlok12 Their fire-control groups don't meet ATF spec for being difficult to convert to full-auto. But the company is working on a US-compliant version.
    1
  18694. That's the cocking piece (same as the K31) .Pulling back and rotating 90 degrees engages the safety, and it also allows you to recock the rifle to make a second attempt to fire in case of a light primer strike.
    1
  18695. Class.
    1
  18696. Unquestionably.
    1
  18697. Here's one good reference: https://www.smallarmssurvey.org/resource/introductory-guide-identification-small-arms-light-weapons-and-associated-ammunition
    1
  18698. Jesse Sisolack Lage Mfg makes the upper.
    1
  18699. tmreb1 It's a MAC M11A1 with a Lage Max-11 Mk II upper.
    1
  18700. Skeetshooting7 It did, last weekend.
    1
  18701. +135th Darksword No. Machine guns cannot be imported.
    1
  18702. I don't know of any source that does have those numbers.
    1
  18703. Sure, I would like to see those articles - thanks! My email address is admin@forgottenweapons.com .
    1
  18704. No.
    1
  18705. Correct, they still require tax stamps and registration.
    1
  18706. It's a type of mount for the scope.
    1
  18707. Unfortunately, it is sold out. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/book-review-m9130-rifles-and-m38m44-carbines-in-1941-1945/
    1
  18708. Yes, but not in the early stages of the war. You don't capture much when retreating. Once they started pushing back westward, hey did use some German stuff. There is some record of Soviets preferring the MP40 over the PPSh-41, although it seems to be less common than German use of Soviet arms (especially SVT40s) early in the war.
    1
  18709. Yes.
    1
  18710. They are in stock at Brownells...
    1
  18711. Because it doesn't do anything that you can't do more simply and less expensively with other guns.
    1
  18712. Yes.
    1
  18713. Yup - it will ask you for shipping info at the end of the campaign (June 1)
    1
  18714. Because less than 100 were made, no ammunition exists, they are worth $50k or more each, and known to break parts when they were new.
    1
  18715. Smokeless
    1
  18716. Nope.
    1
  18717. +BigBoss Nick Then watch it on Full30 for free. Link is in the description.
    1
  18718. Nope.
    1
  18719. Nothing. I bought my SIGs myself.
    1
  18720. What I am seeing is that the same single law firm has files 65 different suits against SIG, and the single one they won was awarded not for any defect but simply for not having a trigger dingus safety.
    1
  18721. Sorry, no
    1
  18722. No. Pull the trigger all you want; if the safety is engaged the bolt is not going anywhere.
    1
  18723. It's an open bolt gun; it can't be left with a round chambered.
    1
  18724. In English, we don't have a letter equivalent to "Sh", so it gets spelled out as "S "H".
    1
  18725. In English we don't have a name for the letter "sh".
    1
  18726. "S" "H". There is no single letter in English for the "sh" sound.
    1
  18727. 7.62x25mm
    1
  18728. It's a Norinco M305A with a 5.45 mag in it.
    1
  18729. They are linked at the end of the video.
    1
  18730. You should just watch the one I already have.
    1
  18731. Phlster
    1
  18732. Congrats! Please drop me a line at admin@forgottenweapons.com :)
    1
  18733. They allow it to be smoothly holstered, without the front of the cylinder catching on the lip of the holster.
    1
  18734. ;)
    1
  18735. It's a French jacket; not sure of the vintage.
    1
  18736. Sorry. I will start referring to platinium immediately. :)
    1
  18737. Guns don't really require gloves as long as you follow some basic standards of cleanliness.
    1
  18738. Your foes' weapons have been legitimate plunder in war since approximately the beginning of humanity.
    1
  18739. There is none.
    1
  18740. https://akinak.com.ua/ua/
    1
  18741. Yes.
    1
  18742. We did one already. :)
    1
  18743. Already handled.
    1
  18744. It's actually a post-Hotchkiss Odkolek design.
    1
  18745. The mount was designed for the 1917 machine guns, and the recoilless rifles fit better reversed. If you look at pictures of them in the field, you'll see this being standard practice.
    1
  18746. It is supposed to be mounted that way, the reverse of the M1917 machine gun.
    1
  18747. Sorry - I have no control over the ads.
    1
  18748. Sorry - I have no control over the ads.
    1
  18749. It is mounted the opposite direction as the M1917 machine gun was.
    1
  18750. Once the KS ends (tomorrow), it will be available for preorder at retail price from our web site (www.headstamppublishing.com)
    1
  18751. Sorry. Probably had dust on my jump wings too. :)
    1
  18752. They did actually test that during the M! Carbine development. The stocked 1911 was less effective and actually heavier than the M1 Carbine.

    1
  18757. I have an interview coming where we will talk about this.
    1
  18758. Similar concept, but executed differently.
    1
  18759. Yes.
    1
  18760. Not common, but the Japanese did have bayonet lugs on the Type 96 and Type 99 Nambu guns
    1
  18761. It's true.
    1
  18762. http://www.defenceweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50332:inkunzi-strike-to-be-qualified-by-march&catid=50:Land&Itemid=105
    1
  18763. So what?
    1
  18764. It has a much longer range and delivers a larger payload than a 12ga.
    1
  18765. Next week.
    1
  18766. The longer flight time makes it more difficult to hit a moving target, for one thing.
    1
  18767. Just the projectile.
    1
  18768. I believe that would be correct. FWIW, the designer has also developed a belt-fed machine gun using the same cartridge. http://www.defenceweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50332:inkunzi-strike-to-be-qualified-by-march&catid=50:Land&Itemid=105
    1
  18769. No.
    1
  18770. About 6kg.
    1
  18771. You have to whisper dramatically when you say that.
    1
  18772. Not just the same manufacturer, but the same designer - Tony Neophytou.
    1
  18773. I was shooting inert solid projectiles for this video.
    1
  18774. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsBEQ-Pulvc
    1
  18775. It's on the list.
    1
  18776. Adjusting for inflation, that 1945 fuse would cost $640+ today.
    1
  18777. It is filmed; have not scheduled when it will post yet.
    1
  18778. His parents were Greek.
    1
  18779. It's a low pressure round with a large bore volume. A muzzle brake would not be useful or effective.
    1
  18780. There would be no point to scaling it down. If you want to fire 12ga shells, there are a plethora of perfectly good options out there.
    1
  18781. An appropriate name.
    1
  18782. Ok. :) https://youtu.be/-VKGhqIl4Gw

    1
  18785. Learning hurts my brain!
    1
  18786. Bits two.
    1
  18787. Just like the dummy rounds in the video.
    1
  18788. I already did one; just search for OICW.
    1
  18789. You are mistaken.
    1
  18790. +MomanSLM There will always be controversy about the Earps and the events surrounding them - this stuff still causes fistfights today in Tombstone. In reality, I am pretty sure neither side was entirely good or nefarious - they both did things both good and bad. However, the general perception of the average person who hasn't dug into the topic is that Wyatt Earp was some sort of Captain America-esqe heroic super-cop. In reality, he was not. He did his fair share of shady and clearly unjust things (and was the guy who brought enforced gun control to Tombstone, for what it's worth). Setting the record straight required talking more about the bad side of Earp and the good side of the Cowboys, simply because the general perception is so skewed to other direction.
    1
  18791. admin@forgottenweapons.com
    1
  18792. A folding shoulder rest. The M1918A2 BAR has one as well.
    1
  18793. Yes, same root.
    1
  18794. Generally with a ratcheting cam that iterates 3 times and then resets.
    1
  18795. Yes.
    1
  18796. I recorded this in January; the 3+ wasn't public.

  18800. Yes.
    1
  18801. https://youtu.be/YkOdwF1_E1A
    1
  18802. Heh...it may have looked fast, but I placed 32nd of 44 on that one. The trick in that stage was to shoot slowly enough to make good shots, because anything outside the A zone was a 1 or 3 second penalty - with 25 rounds total on paper it would be really easy to have more penalty time than time actually spent shooting. I had 9 seconds of penalty myself, which cost me 11 places in the scoring.
    1
  18803. I'll do a video on the Luger eventually, but it's not really high on my priority list - there are lots of other people who have some Luger videos.
    1
  18804. Nope, no offense at all - it was meant to be funny. :) And yeah, cartridge OAL could certainly be at fault for the malfs.
    1
  18805. Hmm...I don't really have a particular book I would recommend (other than the one I'm working on myself :) ), just because I learned myself mostly by taking things apart to figure them out. Perhaps someone else can recommend one? As for a favorite gun, there are far too many great guns out there for me to pick a single favorite.
    1
  18806. That clip at the end was me testing the possibility of shooting from my right shoulder but with my left hand. Didn't really work. Both the malfunctions I had were failures to load - the nose of the round would hit the back face of the barrel instead of going into the chamber. Not something I've had happen before; I need to look into what what's causing it.
    1
  18807. Nope, normal parts. It runs just fine on NATO-spec surplus ammo (I was using South African in this match).
    1
  18808. In the military? No.
    1
  18809. Yes, north of Tucson.
    1
  18810. Grant Noyes Yes.
    1
  18811. Yes.
    1
  18812. I am not, sorry.
    1
  18813. Yes - they still destroy about 10 tons of EOD each year on Guadalcanal.
    1
  18814. Yeah, but generally they were the ones handing out briefcases of cash, not getting them.
    1
  18815. https://youtu.be/jrp7QLSlKD4
    1
  18816. I would rather carry good pepper spray than this.
    1
  18817. That would be Uzi vs Mac, I think... ;)
    1
  18818. I do, I just didn't think to bring them to IO with me.
    1
  18819. Yes, it's good.
    1
  18820. No.
    1
  18821. Bayard was a trademark brand name of the Pieper company.
    1
  18822. No, it hasn't been made since the 1930s.
    1
  18823. Ben Aguilar Yes, they are.
    1
  18824. Too common. Better to give the Winchester 1911 some appreciation.
    1
  18825. Both are short recoil.
    1
  18826. The Chauchat, as you see in this video.
    1
  18827. Because all those parts come to an abrupt halt at the end of travel, instead of gradually decelerating.
    1
  18828. The term submachine gun was coined by Thompson, to describe a small handheld machine gun. It is not related to ammunition being subsonic or supersonic. The rate of fire is generally controlled by a combination of bolt weight and spring force. And submachine guns do not require special primers in their ammunition.
    1
  18829. I saw it at SHOT - it is not actually long recoil. They are using the same words to describe something different.
    1
  18830. Yes, but not until much farther along in the process.
    1
  18831. We've had a number of printing delays - updates are posted on Kickstarter, and there will be another one tomorrow.

    1
  18837. Unfortunately, antique machine guns are still subject to the NFA.
    1
  18838. It's the chain for a plug to seal the steam vent hose connection when not in use.
    1
  18839. No, but here is a playlist of them in order: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9e3UCcU00TQKA8n0JC5APQZlKIrOUK5g
    1
  18840. It's an AOW.
    1
  18841. The market demand for novelty guns is a relatively new phenomenon. Winchester didn't market this on the civilian market because it would have been a complete flop at the time, as it has no practical purpose for the civilian buyer.
    1
  18842. Chives, child, China
    1
  18843. As an American, I have a Constitutional right to make fun of the British.
    1
  18844. Industrially, yes. But in the field it's hard to carry a shot tower around. :)
    1
  18845. Machine, marine, vaccine, latrine, ravine. Both pronunciations are fine.
    1
  18846. I have two of them, actually - one carbine version and one short rifle version.
    1
  18847. The Australians experimented with a .308 version, but only about a hundred were made. A lot of them have been made commercially though, by cutting down 7.62mm Ishapore Enfields.
    1
  18848. Yep.
    1
  18849. Power factor is not muzzle energy.
    1
  18850. SWAT just means "Special Weapons And Tactics". It is not a specific unit; many police agencies have SWAT teams. HRT is the FBI's special direct action unit, and thus similar to GIGN.
    1
  18851. Reenactment?
    1
  18852. Thanks!
    1
  18853. This was the first time this one had been fired after being rebuilt.
    1
  18854. Yes.
    1
  18855. I did.
    1
  18856. Actually, Finnish magazines work fine in other AKs.
    1
  18857. The military version is designated Rk62; the semiauto civilian one is the M62/S. You can see it nice and clear on the rifle here: https://youtu.be/Ohnvp16-ab0?t=57

  18859. The Galil was based on this.
    1
  18860. I did. Just search for little tom.
    1
  18861. That's because the auction was several months ago, and YouTube now prohibits links to sites that sell guns.
    1
  18862. Not yet, but I will sooner or later.
    1
  18863. No, they just both use a tilting bolt.
    1
  18864. Yes, very true.
    1
  18865. Correct.
    1
  18866. Yup.
    1
  18867. Yup. Bore size is the number of round balls you can make form a pound of lead.
    1
  18868. My thumb is better now - that came from accidentally slamming it into the scope base on an EM-2 rifle.

    1
  18876. Yes.
    1
  18877. It has no specific significance.
    1
  18878. It's not wallpaper, it's canvas.
    1
  18879. Nope, not yet.
    1
  18880. While the trajectory changes, even the shortest carbine has more than enough muzzle velocity to be effective far beyond the range it can be aimed.
    1
  18881. K98 is just a shortening of Kar98, which is a shortening of Karabiner 98.
    1
  18882. C&Rsenal's WWII rifle poster.
    1
  18883. I have spent 4 or 5 years practicing shooting right-handed.
    1
  18884. Yes.
    1
  18885. I would love to! If I find myself with access to a setup like that I definitely will.
    1
  18886. That was his father - they were both named Eli.
    1
  18887. SA80 is the name of the family of small arms including the L85 rifle and L86 LSW.
    1
  18888. The whole story is very well documented in the book "The Last Enfield" by Steve Raw. https://amzn.to/2zZ4NwX
    1
  18889. No all bullpens are like this, but some are. You shoot it right handed.
    1
  18890. Sorry - I have no control over the ads.
    1
  18891. After HK's work, it was the A2.
    1
  18892. I'm not in the British military, so no.
    1
  18893. Thanks!
    1
  18894. That is the least wrong thing with this rifle.
    1
  18895. Just reload the page. Do that a few times when you get preroll ads, and YouTube will stop serving them to you.
    1
  18896. Fortunately, I am not in the British Army.
    1
  18897. None - but at the same time almost none were as bad as this one the first time out.
    1
  18898. Sooner or later, they will reach the end of their campaign and stop running it. But I have no control over any of the ad content that YouTube runs.
    1
  18899. That's why British special forces organizations all use it, right?
    1
  18900. If you've been in for 5 years, you would presumably have been using the A2.
    1
  18901. If you find an L85 for sale, let me know.
    1
  18902. My video on the A2 upgrade publishes on Saturday. If you had an A1 and actually fired it more than a magazine or two and it worked, you were lucky and unusual. Literally every armorer I have spoken with (including at the UK Defense Academy) has told me that the A1 was a stinking pile of garbage. If you think I'm biased against British weapons for some reason (like, for example, you have irrational national pride in the L85A1), then you will just have to wait for my video on the EM-2.
    1
  18903. I suspect you were not using the L85A1. Perhaps your rifle said "A2" on the receiver?
    1
  18904. Repetition.
    1
  18905. The stock, hand guard, and pistol grip.
    1
  18906. There is no such thing as the L85A3 yet.
    1
  18907. Yes.
    1
  18908. Yep.
    1
  18909. If you are curious, watch my videos on the XL60, XL70, and XL85 series rifles, where I discuss exactly how these got through testing.
    1
  18910. It is interesting how even the squaddies standing up for the L85 say that it malfunctioned as a matter of course. Most combat rifles actually don't do that until they have been in service for a couple decades and been neglected (the M16A1s still in US service, the FAMAS F1 still in French use, etc).
    1
  18911. I have never played COD, I like some other British guns, and dislike plenty of American ones. Perhaps you should not make rash assumptions?
    1
  18912. Pretty close. The Sterling is 27 inches long; the L85A1 is 30.9 inches long.
    1
  18913. I have a video coming next month on the L98...
    1
  18914. Out of curiosity, what other guns have you fired that would allow you to put the L85 in context?
    1
  18915. It wasn't a matter of changing; the government wanted both guns.
    1
  18916. No, but it will be available through HeadstampPublishing.com after the launch.
    1
  18917. No.
    1
  18918. 7.5x54mm
    1
  18919. It doesn't at all. All excess gas blows forward.
    1
  18920. Yeah, I have tried to fix that with YouTube and gotten nowhere. They claim that video violates UK law somehow, and I can't convince them otherwise. Just one of the little joys of dealing with YouTube...
    1
  18921. I would say it's not, because there is no attempt to seal the "piston"
    1
  18922. Yes.
    1
  18923. I would love to, but I need to find a PSG-1 that I can shoot.
    1
  18924. All of them, I believe.
    1
  18925. The Port Said is the licensed Egyptian version

    1
  18945. +drkjk If you watch a lot of guns in high speed, you'll find that most of them do that.
    1
  18946. +LWR II The ejector hits the case close enough to the base that I don't think that would be an issue. Not much moment being put on the case head.
    1
  18947. +Peter Dvornik It never got far enough for that concern to be brought up. I agree that carrying a second one would be awkward, though.
    1
  18948. +finalfantasy50 No, I didn't spend any more time trying. Didn't want to bend something!

  18949. +Confused Raccoon Light compared to machine guns, not to rifles.
    1
  18950. +charli0072003 The extractor is holding the top half of the rim, not the bottom half.
    1
  18951. +d0j0w0 No - DI is not a very common mechanism.
    1
  18952. It was initially, but no longer is. There will be no further collaborations. Sorry...
    1
  18953. Some do, some don't.
    1
  18954. Might have a problem with priorities when you use newly-acquired industrial capacity in the 1930s to make swords instead of submachine guns.
    1
  18955. De rien!
    1
  18956. Thanks!

  18958. Apocrypha will be entirely entertainment. That's not to say folks won't occasionally learn something new from it, but nothing in it would be content that could be considered educational.
    1
  18959. Yep.
    1

  18963. Have you seen the MG47?
    1
  18964. They do have it, but I didn't do a video. It is a completely standard, stock M1 Garand.
    1
  18965. I don't have time to do it.
    1
  18966. They will start running in June, and be spread over 6-8 months.
    1
  18967. I did not have enough time to make a video on it, sorry.

    1
  18991. No. I don't think an extra inch of barrel would make any difference.

    1
  18998. Thank you!
    1
  18999. Not until we have Clockwork Basilisk in stock, and we don't have an ETA on it yet (but it's at the stage where they just need to bind the covers to the page bundles). Sorry!
    1
  19000. Totally inexplicable.
    1
  19001. The L35 Lahti, for one.
    1
  19002. MAS 36 CR39.
    1
  19003. Yes.
    1
  19004. With and without optics.
    1
  19005. Yes, an SBR.
    1
  19006. Magtech 115gr.
    1
  19007. Probate would determine the legal inheritor, just like any other property.
    1
  19008. Correct. Unfortunately, the law does not allow new registration of machine guns since 1986.
    1
  19009. No, they don't do that.
    1
  19010. So you're saying you don't want people to know how to obey the law, should they choose to do so?
    1
  19011. There is no license required to own a machine gun. A transfer to an heir is done via ATF Form 5.
    1
  19012. No, unfortunately.
    1
  19013. Because the Hughes Amendment was specifically intended to prevent that.
    1
  19014. This video was specifically made for people who want to obey the law.
    1
  19015. Beats me...
    1
  19016. Random gun show bin. They are not actually made for Tokarev mags, as they are too short to close with Tok mags.
    1
  19017. Nope.
    1
  19018. Sorry, but no.
    1
  19019. Yes, it can be
    1
  19020. It used to be totally normal for kids to have guns (still it, in some places). My father bought his first .22 rifle from his pediatrician at age 13, and then took it home on the DC metro.
    1
  19021. It was the same gun. He didn't screw the recoil guide springs in all the way.
    1
  19022. Good!
    1
  19023. No, it's Pima Pistol Club.
    1
  19024. It's filmed; not sure when it will post.
    1
  19025. With the exception of 1952, which saw the adoption of the vz.52 rifle and the vz.52 pistol. Both of which are glaring exceptions to the standard of Czech quality in firearms design.
    1
  19026. The rear sight spring is missing on this one.
    1
  19027. It was only used on the vz.52 rifles and machine guns.
    1
  19028. Yeah, this example is missing the rear sight leaf spring.
    1
  19029. Makarovs are cheap and easy to find, as I say in the video. Stechkins, not so much.
    1
  19030. ***** Sure, but then you wouldn't have the same manual of operation as a K98k.
    1
  19031. MrDoctorCrow Yes.
    1
  19032. +PsychoBrad84 It hasn't yet; the auction is this coming weekend.
    1
  19033. Nikolaj Kazakov If it's in Finland, then I have no idea on value. Different countries, different markets.
    1
  19034. Nikolaj Kazakov RIA has estimated 6500-9500 for this one. What yours would be worth would depend on things like condition and whether or not it's matching.
    1
  19035. mcqueenfanman Yes, there is a safety mechanism to prevent firing out of battery. And the handle can't move back unless it's rotated 90 degrees up.
    1
  19036. tehgreatvak Nope.
    1
  19037. The MP40 was officially replaced by the MP44.

  19080. It is only cost-effective for the auction house if the lot prices are around $1000 or higher, so the batch multiple less valuable guns together.
    1
  19081. No, it is two stamps for two guns.
    1
  19082. All destructive devices are transferrable; the Hughes Amendment only applies to machine guns.
    1
  19083. It's on my list to find...
    1
  19084. That’s all in yesterday’s video
    1
  19085. Nope.
    1
  19086. Unfortunately, SA80 turned out to be delayed, over budget, and wrong.
    1
  19087. They are just custom molded solid plugs. You can get them made at most gun shows.
    1
  19088. I don't have your email address - can you contact me at admin@forgottenweapons.com?
    1
  19089. MAS 36 CR39
    1
  19090. This is not regulated by the GCA because it is not a firearm.
    1
  19091. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-merino-wool-hoodie/30651
    1
  19092. Because it's not a rail gun. Rail guns work differently. https://youtu.be/NIl1XmEDdVY
    1
  19093. Sorry, I meant 3300 mAh
    1
  19094. Yeah, 3300 mAh - I misspoke.
    1
  19095. No, amps.
    1
  19096. These new "fire-arms" will never be practical either. Look how slow they are to load, and how woefully inaccurate. Any proper longbowman could annihilate a whole team of "musketeers". Also, machine guns are totally dumb because you'll just use up all your ammunition right away.
    1
  19097. Yes, as long as they haven't deformed from hitting something hard.
    1
  19098. When you turn the switch off, it proactively discharges the capacitors to heat if they have any charge.
    1
  19099. That's because it's not a rail gun.
    1
  19100. When you turn the main switch off, it discharges the capacitors to heat if they are charged.
    1
  19101. https://youtu.be/NIl1XmEDdVY
    1
  19102. It's commercially available because you can buy one, right off Arcflash's web site.
    1
  19103. Yeah, 3300 mAh.
    1
  19104. You used diameter instead of radius.
    1
  19105. No, coil guns don't work that way. The designer and I discussed this in our interview video on Wednesday.
    1
  19106. I think it's simply because they are spending their time working on the gun itself. These projectiles are very simple to make, and they work just fine for the time being.
    1
  19107. Coil guns don't work that way. The maximum velocity is limited by the coil architecture, and so the way to increase muzzle energy is to increase projectile mass.
    1
  19108. Gauss Rifle, I expect.
    1
  19109. C, not F.

  19115. Yep, it is
    1
  19116. Yes, the working attempt went into the main PTRD video.
    1
  19117. Camera angle. We got it done on the last try which is the version in the full-length video.
    1
  19118. That change was retrofitted onto the early guns for consistency.
    1
  19119. In the US, A1 is the first modification after the original. In the UK, the first adopted version is the A1.
    1
  19120. Gun Sense (drmaudio) No, there wasn't any significant movement in the barrel.
    1
  19121. "Instructions unclear. Sent bolt actions."
    1
  19122. Hi Neil - Utreon gives the highest percentage to me, but I am not sure how well they are set up for non-US payments at the moment.
    1
  19123. Yes, it is linked at the end of this video.
    1
  19124. Sorry, but I filmed this about 2 months ago and am back in the US now. I appreciate the offer though!
    1
  19125. Can you email me at admin@forgottenweapons.com?

  19126. No, I bought mine privately.
    1
  19127. No, they don't cause problems for reloading.
    1
  19128. Yes, they use the same bayonet.
    1
  19129. They are transitioning from the FAMAS F1 to the H&K 416F.
    1
  19130. No, it is not.
    1
  19131. No, France will destroy them, not sell them as surplus.
    1
  19132. They haven't decided yet.
    1
  19133. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Umfn__lVA_I
    1
  19134. It is unusable unless swapped to the other side (which the FAMAS can do).
    1
  19135. Actually, fluting does nothing to inhibit reloading.
    1
  19136. Same style, but not interchangeable.
    1
  19137. Because that is also the best way to remove mags that may not always drop free.
    1
  19138. Merci!
    1
  19139. Yes, that's correct.
    1
  19140. Reverse the two extractors and the receiver cover. I explain this in the video...
    1
  19141. Nope. They will destroy them, not sell them.
    1
  19142. The vast majority of machine gun owners, including Mr. Hackathorn, would be thrilled to have the Hughes amendment repealed, regardless of the financial loss it would mean for them.
    1
  19143. No optics compatibility, for starters. Also, open bolt.
    1
  19144. Yes, that is correct.
    1
  19145. Gucci.
    1
  19146. Open cylinder, drop hammer.
    1
  19147. Yup.
    1
  19148. I will, when I visit Australia.
    1
  19149. I've been pondering this; what would the appropriate rifle be?
    1
  19150. We were supposed to shoot the targets on that stage in a specific order, and I didn't.
    1
  19151. From the ATF's NFA exemption list: "Luger, DWM Pistol, model 1900, 1902, or 1906, in 7.65 Luger or 9mm parabellum cal., having the American Eagle chamber crest, and barrel lengths of either 4" or 4-3/4", with original detachable Ideal shoulder stocks and Ideal frame grips."
    1
  19152. +Lubos Soltes The shots I fired were modern handloads on modern brass; not worth anything like this original ammo.
    1
  19153. +Tizer Chief End of April.
    1
  19154. Thanks!
    1
  19155. brenton adams I have heard of those, but never handled one (I'm not as knowledgeable or experienced with bayonets as with rifles). That said, it's a really cool piece to have! I expect you could pretty easily sell it for enough to buy a 1906 or 1914 and have some extra cash left over (although if it were me, I'd keep it and save to get the additional one).
    1
  19156. Glad you like it! What question(s) do you have about the bayonet? I'll answer as best I can.
    1
  19157. ***** Well, a Swiss K31 would be an excellent option, although they were never actually used in combat. If you want a Mosin, I would suggest a Finnish M39 - they are much nicer than the typical Russian one. Really, any WWII rifle will do the job, as long as you practice enough to be proficient with it. So the question is, which one do you like the most?
    1
  19158. 1791Apparel.com . Good folks with some cool shirt designs.
    1
  19159. I really don't have one.

    1
  19161. You really want to know? My mother made it for me. :)
    1
  19162. New England Westinghouse.
    1
  19163. Next week...
    1
  19164. Yes.
    1
  19165. The ladder is centered, the actual aperture you look through is offset.
    1
  19166. Next week.
    1
  19167. Yes, they do.
    1
  19168. The same differences between the type 2 and type 3 fixed stock guns exist between type 2 and type 3 folding stocked ones.
    1
  19169. +Whiteleghorn It failed to sell. Dunno what the reserve was, but it was a re-welded gun.
    1
  19170. Yes, that author is clearly wrong.

  19172. Mikes Militaria. You can get one too. :)
    1
  19173. +PrimyFritzellz AKA MrThewowplayer Never played any of them. But approximately everyone has been asking about this new one.
    1
  19174. +TechNWRO TE Nope, not yet.
    1
  19175. +Simon Wissel Yes, it's apparently pretty popular.
    1
  19176. +Bob Gentar The cost involved in reproducing one-off guns is immense - the people who have the money to do that typically have the money to get an original. There is also the issue of getting access to completely detail-strip an original in someone else's collection, which many owners would not be particularly eager to do for fear of scratching or breaking something.
    1
  19177. +DobeliusDobbe I really am just tired of people asking. :)
    1
  19178. +767ACooper Indeed.
    1
  19179. Whatever one I happen to have available, I suppose. Seems like a bit of a goofy rationale for a gun.
    1
  19180. +Kuro Oh, I have very low expectations for BF1.
    1
  19181. +Drew Metzger Nope.
    1
  19182. That's the charging handle
    1
  19183. No, because these were never accepted into military service so the CMP doesn't have any.
    1
  19184. Yep!
    1
  19185. Merci!
    1
  19186. https://youtu.be/tCSzq52ekLE
    1
  19187. There is a fairly widely held and plausible theory that those aren't even functional magazines; just props. :)
    1
  19188. When Yugoslavia was choosing a magazine for their M72 PRK, their testing found that Russian made drums produced almost double the number of malfunctions as 30-round box magazines.
    1
  19189. Both the Finnish and Russian examples were done before having any combat experience with said drums. I don't know enough about the Chinese example to comment on it, though.
    1
  19190. A bit easier to carry, but worse mechanically.
    1
  19191. There is a lot of friction inherent in a quad-stack magazine because it has either two or three places where two stacks of cartridges narrow to one.
    1
  19192. The same but even more so. Helical mags are significantly less reliable than regular drums.
    1
  19193. As a drummer, nobody cares how you feel. :D
    1
  19194. Sorry; I have no input or control over the ads.
    1
  19195. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7tP9s4mm5I

  19196. It would remove the need for the shooter to were er protection, and it also makes it difficult to determine the source of the gunshot.

  19200. Helpfully, the man wrote a letter to American Rifleman magazine in 1943 explaining how he pronounced his name: https://www.forgottenweapons.com/garand-pronunciation/
    1
  19201. +Graham Larson The bolt will drop as soon as the follower is depressed even when it is fully locked open. When you are loading a clip, however, the clip itself holds the bolt back until it's fully inserted, at which point the friction of stripping the first round often forces you to give it a helping nudge forward. Totally different situation from when you close the bolt on an empty gun.
    1
  19202. +exolinx Friction of stripping the first round out of the clip. If it stays open when you push the follower down when it's empty, something is broken.
    1
  19203. That vidoe is coming in about 10 days
    1
  19204. Yes.
    1
  19205. It's a function of the primer, not the powder.
    1
  19206. I would love to - tell him to have me on! :)
    1
  19207. The biggest was a 115mm tank cannon, which I fired once. Biggest from the shoulder standing was a 4-bore rifle, which I fired twice.
    1
  19208. The US military specifically wanted a clip-fed rifle.
    1
  19209. Just a mixup on my part with video compilation, sorry. There are one or two more at 720, but that's all.
    1
  19210. Yep, there is.
    1
  19211. MAS is the name of the arsenal (Manufacture d'Armes de St Etienne). FAMAS is simple the automatic rifle made by MAS.
    1
  19212. It seems to have been popular and successful enough on the MP5...
    1
  19213. Yes, it does.
    1
  19214. I would love to! :)
    1
  19215. It looks like a mechanic's grease gun.
    1
  19216. I will, for sure.
    1
  19217. I hope so!
    1
  19218. Roughly equivalent to buying a Category B gun in most of Europe.
    1
  19219. The auction is in a couple weeks. There are no commercial producers of this.
    1
  19220. They may look the same, but they do not operate the same way at all.
    1
  19221. No.
    1
  19222. No. The GB uses gas do delay opening while the S&W uses is to accelerate opening.
    1
  19223. Why? It’s a raffle and it’s completely aboveboard. If you’re not interested, skip past the segment (or watch via an ad-free platform like Patreon, Playeur, Floatplane, or History of Weapons and War).
    1
  19224. No such thing, sorry.
    1
  19225. +Dom Jacobs That is a GPMG's role. A light machine gun needs to be mobile and flexible. An LMG is used to pin down a position while other units flank and destroy it.
    1
  19226. That video is coming later this month.
    1
  19227. The Israeli armed forces used a lot of German arms in the early days.
    1
  19228. No.

    1
  19238. Basically training at deflection shooting against moving targets. It was practice for aerial gunnery, for both pilots and bomber gun crews.
    1
  19239. Push-pull works great on it.
    1
  19240. Dammit, I should have.
    1
  19241. The heat shield is so you can grab around the barrel itself for bayonet fighting. Since this doesn't fit a bayonet, a heat shield is not useful.
    1
  19242. For guarding nuclear materials.
    1
  19243. No - 9mm Makarov is larger in diameter. It's actually 9.2mm.
    1
  19244. You would have to ask Holiday Inn Express. :)
    1
  19245. They were shooting reduced loads because it prolongs the life of the brass, which is expensive and hard to get.
    1
  19246. That is a totally different gun.
    1
  19247. Nope. This beast has plenty of recoil to spare.
    1
  19248. In that video they were shooting underpowered ammo (deliberately done to reduce wear and tear on the brass).
    1
  19249. They were using ammo deliberately loaded light to extend the life of the brass.
    1
  19250. They used to, but did not when I was there.
    1
  19251. Pima Pistol Club, north of Tucson.
    1
  19252. Yes, I do.
    1
  19253. It's real.
    1
  19254. Usually, that happens when a museum goes out of business.
    1
  19255. Black powder.
    1
  19256. Ammunition is only treated as a destructive device if it contains and explosive charge. Solid ammunition is not regulated on the basis of bore size.
    1
  19257. Sorry! Got distracted by machine guns this morning and forgot to post it!
    1
  19258. Ammunition is only regulated as a destructive device if it contains an explosive charge, not by bore diameter.
    1
  19259. You misunderstand. This is not a test, it is a 2-gun competition being shot with old guns.
    1
  19260. She is very tolerant - and also a shooter herself. And this hobby of mine is why we don't share our finances. :)
    1
  19261. I'm well aware of the bolt issue - I did a whole video about that, including deliberately blowing one up. However, I think the Ross is a quite good rifle, just not really optimum for dirty battlefield conditions.
    1
  19262. I had intermittent trouble with the bolt riding partially over a cartridge - possibly a weak mag spring. Then in stage 3 I gunked it up with sand.
    1
  19263. It's from 1791 Apparel - great folks, who also offer a 10% discount to Forgotten Weapons Premium Members.
    1
  19264. If I remember correctly, he was using Fiocchi.
    1
  19265. The translucent material is often weaker than solid color.
    1
  19266. Unfortunately, no.
    1
  19267. Short, Magazine, Lee Enfield
    1
  19268. Magic.
    1
  19269. I would recommend this book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JinPxuObUTw
    1
  19270. Sorry, but not on this trip.
    1
  19271. An MP28, IIRC.
    1
  19272. No, that's an FNC. I would have jumped at the chance for a video if it were a Type 89, though. :)
    1
  19273. Yup.
    1
  19274. That;'s a Winchester with a water jacket.
    1
  19275. I'm pretty sure it wasn't just luck. :)
    1
  19276. No, they are live.

  19278.  @RobinP556  Order are still shipping every day, and you will get an email with tracking info when yours goes out. The order of shipping priority is Collector editions first, then signed copies, then standard Kickstarter editions, and then retail editions.
    1
  19279. The plan is to do volumes on the UK, Germany, Italy and Japan - and probably one combining several of the smaller powers.
    1
  19280. Thanks!
    1
  19281. That would be awesome.
    1
  19282. Yup.
    1
  19283. Didn't meet reserve, although I don't know what the reserve was.

  19307. Ever seen something with a Chinese tattoo?
    1
  19308. Good guess, but no.
    1
  19309. Yep, that's it.
    1
  19310. Good for parachute jumps.
    1
  19311. In my experience, they do not dislike Americans at all. However, there are a number of things considered rude in France that Americans don't anticipate. Simple stuff like starting an interaction by saying "good morning, excuse me" in French instead of just launching straight into a question in English can make all the difference in how you are treated. Be polite by local standards, and people treat you great.
    1
  19312. None that I am aware of.
    1
  19313. At lower levels, Patreon - but it's close enough that you should use whichever you prefer. Thanks!
    1
  19314. Correct.
    1
  19315. You create an account for free, and then afterwards can pay and subscribe to one or more channels.
    1
  19316. Yes, I will still upload everything to YouTube, just the same as before.
    1
  19317. They never managed to get the web site formatting that I would need going, and so I eventually dropped out of it. Sad, because I think the idea had great potential.
    1
  19318. All of my content will continue to be posted, for free, on YouTube.
    1
  19319. At the lower tiers Patreon is slightly better, at the higher tiers it's equal.
    1
  19320. I expect InRange will also join Floatplane, once they are farther along in the Beta.
    1
  19321. If enough people subscribe on Floatplane, yes.
    1
  19322. Hopefully I never will be!
    1

    1
  19325. Bergmann 1910/21
    1
  19326. So you can see how many rounds are in them. Primarily so you know when they are fully loaded.
    1
  19327. Yes, quad stack single feed. They were pretty decent, but not perfect. The Finn replaced them with the 71-round drums and eventually with basic 36-round double-feed box magazines.
    1
  19328. Like the Suomi 50-round "coffin" mags.
    1
  19329. Not that I've ever seen. There have been multiple magazines stacked together, but in a true triple-feed deign there would be no feed lips to hold the center round in place.
    1
  19330. Laugo Alien, left handed, .30 Super Carry, double feed magazines. Let's go!
    1
  19331. yep.
    1
  19332. Whenever I can find one...
    1
  19333. The MAT 49 barrel is fixed. It's not like the Hotchkiss Universal.
    1
  19334. 1.5x ACOG
    1
  19335. The original muzzleloading pattern was .42 caliber.
    1
  19336. With these auction items, I don't have the opportunity to fire them.
    1
  19337. Well, first I have to find a good OVS rifle and carbine to film...
    1
  19338. I do not - yet.
    1
  19339. Yes, two videos posted. Do a search for mag-7 or techno arms and you'll find them.
    1
  19340. The Mauser bolt action system began in 1889 (not counting the early black powder versions) and was iterated constantly up to 1898. These are 1893/1895 pattern Mausers.
    1
  19341. Thanks!
    1
  19342. We have a ton of awesome stuff planned and in the works - we won't run out of material for a long, long time. :) And yes, we will definitely include my Vickers in one of the episodes!
    1
  19343. Nope, there won't be a change in the content on Forgotten Weapons. If anything, it will be better, if I am able to start travelling for InRange. For example, I went to film an interview segment a week or two with Jim Sullivan (one of the designers of the AR15) for InRange, and had the opportunity while there to also do a video on a prototype .22 rifle he designed for John Wayne - which will be on the FW channel. Wouldn't have been able to do that without the InRange connection.
    1
  19344. Thanks, Hrachya!
    1
  19345. Lathes are good at that.
    1
  19346. Whether I wear gloves depends on the location where I am filming, and not the guns I am handling.
    1
  19347. It has been pulled form the auction, as the description says.
    1
  19348. Merci!
    1
  19349. No. After launch, it will be available direct from HeadstampPublishing.com .
    1
  19350. Not at this point - sorry.
    1
  19351. We can ship several books for the same rate, so if you find a second person interested you can order together and split the shipping - that's the best I can offer.
    1
  19352. It will be available at HeadstampPublishing.com after the launch.
    1
  19353. Thank you!

  19356. No, it's integral to the bolt carrier.
    1
  19357. I always use the flag from the time and place where a gun originated - so I use the old flag for pre-1994 guns and the current one for post-94 designs. In many cases (Italy, Spain, Germany, South Africa, etc) it means using a flag that does not reflect the current government, and I'm sorry that you find it uncomfortable.
    1
  19358. Thanks!
    1
  19359. For thumbnails, I use the flag from the time and place where the gun was created. I use the current SA flag for post-1994 designs.

  19361. There is a series of videos from Finnish Brutality coming next month over on InRange, where Karl and I both used an Rk92 through 6 stages of match.

  19363. I'm not bidding on these, as I already have one.
    1
  19364. The whole "common usage" is wildly misunderstood. As used by the court, it only applies to how something cannot be considered unusually dangerous if it is in common use - it does't mean something can't be banned (again, according to the court).
    1
  19365. I plan to.
    1
  19366. My French has improved in the couple years since eI made this video, I hope!
    1
  19367. So the assistant gunner could see how much ammunition was left.
    1
  19368. No.
    1
  19369. Belgian.
    1
  19370. Chauchat, Sutter, Ribeyrolle, Gladiator.
    1
  19371. The interference is between the aluminum cooling shroud and the steel receiver tube which it is inside. The barrel isn't directly relevant to this issue.
    1
  19372. Probably not, because of the rim and taper of the 8mm Lebel cartridge. A double stack magazine using that round would be pretty difficult to make reliable.
    1
  19373. +Rik Raptor That works too. :)
    1
  19374. +TheRomanRuler Probably a German. ;)
    1
  19375. +CrazyFikus No, definitely not lefty friendly.
    1
  19376. +Rich T Yes indeed!
    1
  19377. +MrGeorocks They were made by two factories, but the parts were interchangeable without issues.
    1
  19378. +"Marky Mark" Markus Gaming/LurkingFan4 I believe Julia is estimating $3000-$5000 for this one.
    1
  19379. +Rave Biscuits It's the very first line in the description...
    1
  19380. +Andrew Marchetta My Paypal address is admin@forgottenweapons.com, if that would be preferable for you. Thanks!
    1
  19381. They were only introduced in the final couple months of the war.
    1
  19382. +ShadowNetBG For better or worse, I already have a bunch of videos edited and uploaded without it...
    1
  19383. +Minute Man I will do a Chauchat disassembly video later - it would have made this video too long.
    1
  19384. Yeah, bolt actions don't have much to offer in high speed. But a 49/56 would be interesting to see, among others.
    1
  19385. Shouldn't be too hard to get my hands on one, and it would definitely make for good slow-mo.
    1
  19386. Too powerful for a blowback action.
    1
  19387. https://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2006/08/open-sights-part-2/
    1
  19388. Too powerful for a blowback action.
    1
  19389. Bannerman Castle
    1
  19390. Rate reduction and recoil compensation aren't quite the same things...
    1
  19391. Too powerful for a blowback action.
    1
  19392. Not really.
    1
  19393. Too powerful for a blowback action.
    1
  19394. Too hot for a blowback action.
    1
  19395. Yes, of course.
    1
  19396. No, it would hinder controllability. The M1A1 stock sucks.
    1
  19397. Yes.
    1
  19398. Basically, it means that anyone who can pass a background check can buy it.
    1
  19399. Yes.
    1
  19400. The PPSh is more controllable.
    1
  19401. Because this weighs half as much as a Thompson.
    1
  19402. A machine pistol.
    1
  19403. "Assault weapon" was created by the 1994 crime bill. "Assault rifle" is a legitimate term, generally understood to be an intermediate-caliber, select-fire rifle.
    1
  19404. Both are fine.
    1
  19405. .30 Carbine
    1
  19406. Not military ones. Just 15 and 30.
    1
  19407. That was an FNC.
    1
  19408. I'm not sure - email War Historian and ask.
    1
  19409. I plan to!
    1
  19410. Yes: https://www.headstamppublishing.com/french-rifle-book
    1
  19411. I haven't put photos up on the site yet, but I will be. We took a whole bunch.
    1
  19412. ***** No, it would not do either. Since the barrel is fixed to the receiver, a muzzle booster would literally do nothing.
    1
  19413. Actually...it is really nothing at all like a Remington 8. This is gas-delayed blowback, while the Model 8 has a rotating bolt and a long recoil system. Remington Model 8 (in .25 Remington)
    1
  19414.  @fredtuturo1793  Green.
    1
  19415. I don't remember.
    1
  19416. Teddy Rex Try it yourself, and I bet you'll start doing it that way too. :)
    1
  19417. You could definitely do decently at 100 yards, maybe 200 or even a bit more if you were prone with the stock.
    1
  19418. Kalash Loy Honestly, I'm not sure. It's not my gun, and I didn't ask.
    1
  19419. I didn't organize it, I'm just showing up to shoot... :)
    1
  19420. ***** The tanker would have been a rational choice, but also a non-historic one. I have a blog post today at ForgottenWeapons.com discussing why I chose the 1911.
    1
  19421. None that I'm aware of on types of guns - but no bipods or shooting sticks are allowed. Slings and optics are fine.
    1
  19422. It's for any guns - I don't know if they actually divide the results into categories at all.
    1
  19423. Heh...you have the wrong impression of Karl. He's not doing the Pecos match because he was already signed up for the Tiger Valley 2-man team match. We have a few photos posted on the InRange FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/inrangetv?hc_location=timeline
    1
  19424. Schmidt-Rubin, yes. That's the generic name for the action, as the guns were designed by Schmidt and Rubin.
    1
  19425. Here's the whole course of fire: http://pecosrunandgun.com/COF/2014/
    1
  19426. It's fantastic - and the trigger is just as good.
    1
  19427. It's a machine gun, so it doesn't matter if it has a stock or not.
    1
  19428. Major was his reserve rank; when he reentered active service he was reinstated at his proper rank of Captain.
    1
  19429. Was I gone?
    1
  19430. 37mm is 1.5 inch.
    1
  19431. That's tomorrow :)
    1
  19432. No, it doesn't, beyond the use of a gas piston.
    1
  19433. It was initially delivered to Syria, then went to Lebanon, Israel, Britain, and finally into the US.
    1
  19434. It's original Russian.

  19435. I am not aware of those assertions...

  19438. Pretty much like an M1 Garand.
    1
  19439. No. This was Melvin Johnson, Iver Johnson was...Iver Johnson. That was his first name. :)
    1
  19440. RIA regional auctions have about 10,000 guns each. It's not feasible for them to clean each one.
    1
  19441. Every Patron down to the $1 level gets completely ad-free videos from me...can't speak for any other channel though.
    1
  19442. Very nice!
    1
  19443. More like 8-10 seconds, but yes.

  19444. https://youtu.be/cMDJ-I1-o6E
    1
  19445. It is.
    1
  19446. About 8 seconds, yes.
    1
  19447. No.
    1
  19448. If I can get my hands on some examples I will.
    1
  19449. +John Silver Diesel.
    1
  19450. +Whitpusmc By that time you will almost certainly be out of fuel.
    1
  19451. +Willy Bee I think that tint is actually the heat messing with the camera's color balance detection.
    1
  19452. +Minku Kang No, I experienced nothing like that.
    1
  19453. I don't know offhand, but I'm sure Google does.
    1
  19454. +snowgrumbler My formal education is in engineering.
    1
  19455. +Markyboypnoy No, there are not. I opened up a can left over from 1967.
    1
  19456. Boys A-T rifle.
    1
  19457. +SuperBugTube No :(
    1
  19458. In this case, no. It's called hammerless but it actually has a hammer shrouded under the slide.
    1
  19459. No.
    1
  19460. That's the one.

    1
  19470. Nope. Don't got none of that here in Arizona :)

  19471. Videos that show 30 round or larger magazines are demonetized.
    1
  19472. +LastCaress7 .45-70
    1
  19473. +marvincz3 Eugene Myszkowski's book "the Remington Lee Rifle" is fairly short, but a good information-dense resource. That's the best one I know of, although there may be good chapters in some bigger books about Remington in general (which I haven't read).
    1
  19474. +marvincz3 Sources of what?
    1
  19475. About 1350 rpm.
    1
  19476. It's an older picture when the gun had a different paint job.
    1
  19477. Quiet in the peanut gallery!
    1
  19478. If any are, they are intact at the bottom of the Mediterranean.
    1
  19479. I take it you didn't watch the video?
    1
  19480. They were not black powder guns.
    1
  19481. Too bright outside.
    1
  19482. The thumbnail is the same gun, just a photo taken earlier when the gun was painted differently.
    1
  19483. Friction primer.
    1
  19484. It's the same gun, with a paint job from when the museum was first opened.
    1
  19485. Correct.
    1
  19486. You have to make it spin a complete 360 degree rotation. The scoring is binary; you either succeed or fail.
    1
  19487. It's a bullet hole sticker.
    1
  19488. No idea, sorry.
    1
  19489. That's a pistol, not a rifle.
    1
  19490. The heavy-barreled LMG version of the M14. It was dropped before seeing any significant use.
    1
  19491. The M2 Carbine was - that's not the same as the M2 Rifle.
    1
  19492. Nope, it's the same as always.
    1
  19493. There is no manual safety on these...
    1
  19494. No.
    1
  19495. Yes.
    1
  19496. The one magazine we had didn't feed.
    1
  19497. I will remember that - thanks!
    1
  19498. I didn't get a photo of the sight picture, but there is a good picture of it in the EM2 manual you can download from my main web site (Forgotten Weapons).
    1
  19499. I'm a lefty as well, actually. Being as this was from Britain in the 50s, the solution was simply that everyone would shoot right-handed.
    1
  19500. The camera doesn't capture sound in slow-motion recording.
    1
  19501. Tiny. Probably not too bad by 1950 standards, but they don't hold a candle to today's combat rifle optics.
    1
  19502. There were so few EM-2 rifles made, much less imported into the US, that I really don't know what the value would be. It would depend quite a bit on what country you are in, and how much machine gun ownership is allowed by law. If people can't legally buy it, the value drops a lot.
    1
  19503. I have no idea of the market value, really. It depends a lot on legal issues - it couldn't be legally imported into the US because of the NFA, so where would that leave it's value? I don't know. Same with European ownership - how many people could legally own it? Too few, and the price drops as a result.
    1
  19504. No, they were designed by different people several decades apart.
    1
  19505. Sure, Brownells has a variety of KP15 lowers available, from stripped to the complete WWSD2021 lower with the Rekluse trigger and full ambi controls. Just go to their site and search "WWSD".
    1
  19506. We Plead the 2nd sells a grip fin for them.
    1
  19507. It doesn't need the pan filled; the burning fuse is enough to light a charge through the touch hole.
    1
  19508. No, we don't.
    1
  19509. Boom.
    1
  19510. No, it's a standard Mauser stripper clip (the 308/8x57 case head is almost identical to .45 ACP)
    1
  19511. Often the range specifically prohibits it, because they make money recycling peoples' brass.
    1
  19512. Norwegian Home Guard cap.
    1
  19513. Yes, I expect it is.
    1
  19514. De rien!
    1
  19515. Les was.
    1
  19516. Only after.
    1
  19517. It is exempt because ATF has deemed that it should be - that's not directly because of age.
    1
  19518. Nope, same camera...
    1
  19519. No, they were high end commercial sporting guns. Artillery Lugers were different.
    1
  19520. It is a C&R gun, and also specifically exempted from the NFA, so it is not an SBR by law.
    1
  19521. This gun was never used in combat; it's a sporting and recreational weapon.
    1
  19522. It is not, but not because of age.
    1
  19523. Here's a start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrrMe_Y9zy8
    1
  19524. The P04 Navy had a 6" barrel and the lP.08 Artillery had an 8" barrel.
    1
  19525. You may be thinking of InRange; I have not demonetized Forgotten Weapons.
    1
  19526. What other channels would you like to see on Utreon?
    1
  19527. https://shop.bbtv.com/collections/forgotten-weapons/products/forgotten-weapons-black-hoodie
    1
  19528. They are both true, like a Zen koan.
    1
  19529. Ha! No.
    1
  19530. It's a bullpup, meaning that you can have a short overall length with a 26 inch barrel.
    1
  19531. It was on loan.
    1
  19532. I just don't have the time to continue that project with the amount of travel I am doing these days.
    1
  19533. Only if I want to pony up and make the highest bid on them at auction. :(
    1
  19534. No, it is not. That sort of thing was not kept in records.
    1
  19535. It will be available in a few months, hopefully. I'll post updates here.
    1
  19536. Well it's true, isn't it?
    1
  19537. Not this one - it still has a clearing rod slot, which the French removed in 1927. It's also not "N" marked, which the French did ~1932.
    1
  19538. I do.
    1
  19539. Yes, it was. :)
    1
  19540. That's a standard one, albeit a very rare one.
    1
  19541. Once it's a bit closed to being ready (ie, when the layout and editing are done), we will be doing a preorder.
    1
  19542. One of the best parts of writing a book is the tremendous amount you learn in the process. It's easy to think you know a subject until you try to write it all down! :)
    1
  19543. I would definitely be interested - can you email me at admin@forgottenweapons.com ?
    1
  19544. I have a C and a D; I will cover them sooner or later!
    1
  19545. Nope.
    1
  19546. "a thousand"
    1
  19547. There were some made experimentally.
    1
  19548. InRange is demonetized; Forgotten Weapons is not.
    1
  19549. The globe is the good stuff - the others are Ardbeg Corryvreckan, Laphroig Quarter Cask, and Glenlivet Nadurra.
    1
  19550. Yep, it would.
    1
  19551. https://youtu.be/8qP6Q9ZEsEo
    1
  19552. https://amzn.to/2NV9idV
    1
  19553. No, because the original .410 rounds used the same .303 casehead.
    1
  19554. Nice!
    1
  19555. admin@forgottenweapons.com
    1
  19556. Video is filmed; not sure when it will publish.
    1
  19557. No, that was a standard style revolver.
    1
  19558. Aside from the novelty aspect, I don't think there would be much market for them today. They lost popularity because of the advent of small traditional-style handguns, and I don't think they offer any substantial advantage over something like a Keltec P32.
    1
  19559. I think that gas would be pretty thoroughly contained inside the action, and not pose any sort of hazard to the shooter. It would get the mechanism fair dirty, though.
    1
  19560. Reproduction Gerat 06H (aka StG-45H). Last Ditch Innovation: The Development of the Gerat 06 and Gerat 06H Rifles
    1
  19561. No, Reagan was shot at with a Rohm .22 revolver. You may be thinking of McKinley, but the gun in that incident was an Iver Johnson.
    1
  19562. I don't have any hard numbers, but I would speculate a bullet of about 80gr moving at about 400 fps from a Protector-length barrel.
    1
  19563. Cascademenace The stock is in his right shoulder, and he's only holding the gun with one hand (for a better video view) - so the recoil naturally pushes the gun left.
    1
  19564. I don't have a specific date from the publisher yet, but it should be early November.
    1
  19565. +Mark Hayward I would like to - I have handled a Thorneycroft but didn't have the opportunity to do video on it at the time.
    1
  19566. Yes, of course. I ship the guns out each month myself. I usually post the winners on my IG account.
    1
  19567. Very cool!
    1
  19568. No, I did not have any problems with malfunctions.
    1
  19569. The KelTec RDB works that way.
    1
  19570. It was not a gun being sold; it belongs to a private collector.
    1
  19571. Standard 1903 ones
    1
  19572. Yes.
    1
  19573. Heh...it was a big echo-y room, and I wanted to avoid speaking loudly and then getting comments about the echo. So instead, I get comments about speaking quietly. :)
    1
  19574. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTsVD1G1xwM
    1
  19575. Import mark.
    1
  19576. I was there for a week, but I'm back home now. It takes a while to edit and upload everything once the footage is taken, so I tend to do these types of videos 6-8 weeks prior to an auction.
    1
  19577. Yes, my audience spans the whole spectrum of political opinions.
    1
  19578. There is no good alternative that will fit the action and the magazines.
    1
  19579. It is a work in progress. All good things take time. :)
    1
  19580. It fires, but does not cycle them.
    1
  19581. Honestly, I was expected it to run unreliably - a few rounds at a time between feed problems or ruptured cases. So a complete bust was not expected, but not too far from my expectations.
    1
  19582. Yep.
    1
  19583. Yep.
    1
  19584. Yes.
    1
  19585. MAB PA-15.
    1
  19586. It is only available through our website, headstamppublishing.com - but we can ship to Mexico.
    1
  19587. It was not damaged, and that's typical. Generally speaking, the brass case ruptures, but nothing happens to the gun.
    1
  19588. It's coming.
    1
  19589. Thanks!
    1
  19590. slowpokebr549 Yeah, if I had a staff I've have definitely sold them to bid on some of these guns. :)
    1
  19591. Yeah, the videos are going to drop back to one per week. :( RIA does have regional and online-only auctions as well, and those have plenty of very common guns in them.
    1
  19592. +Riot Weekend He died a long time ago. I did videos on all three rifles because they are one-of-a-kind pieces, and I don't expect I will get another chance to examine them later.
    1
  19593. Really depends on what you are interested in seeing...
    1
  19594. Nope.
    1
  19595. I see you aren't left handed....
    1
  19596. I have one filmed; not sure yet when it will post.
    1
  19597. Not actually a hoodie: https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/french-f2-fleece-shirt-cce-surplus/65045
    1
  19598. Only if trendy means saying that a stamped design from 1964 is better than today's new hotness... ;)
    1
  19599. No, because it does not have a full auto disconnector.
    1
  19600. Because the Chauchat is harder to find and more historical interesting to me.
    1
  19601. When I actually get it, yes.
    1
  19602. I am have published several already; I am spreading them out a bit as I do with all my trips. Helps keep things from getting too uniform.
    1
  19603. I actually did that for the 1918 Chauchat.

    1
  19606. Yes, he's my father.
    1
  19607. No. Watch to the end.
    1
  19608. And I explain why at the end of the video.
    1
  19609. Yes, that is a coincidence.
    1
  19610. Which I explain at the end of the video.
    1
  19611. Watch to the end.
    1
  19612. Because you didn't watch to the end.
    1

    1
  19614. No. Watch to the end.
    1
  19615. Which I explain at the end of the video.
    1
  19616. It was for bracing the gun against the door of a Kubelwagen, so recoil didn't push the muzzle back into the vehicle.
    1
  19617. Not yet...
    1
  19618. I don't know of any source of parts aside from buying a whole extra gun.
    1
  19619. Nope.
    1
  19620. Some day, I hope...
    1
  19621. Ran short of time and didn't do a concluding segment.
    1
  19622. They were in difference collections at different places.
    1
  19623. +nickycoley1 No.
    1
  19624. The 9mm Largo guns were simple blowback, with heavy slides and strong springs (much like the Astra 400). I assume the .45 was also blowback - everything I've read suggests that, although I have not actually handled one.
    1
  19625. That's from my Ross rifle video: Myth and Reality of the Ross MkIII Rifle
    1
  19626. Looks like it would be a problem, but it isn't. The lever doesn't come far enough back to hit your fingers.
    1
  19627. It’s not a Beretta derivative.
    1
  19628. Well, obviously... :)
    1
  19629. There are one or two Luger rifles in museums still; hopefully some day I will be able to film one of them.
    1
  19630. The boiling temperature will go up, and the inside will be less likely to corrode, because of the additives in automotive coolants.
    1
  19631. No reason for it to fire from an open bolt if its water cooled.
    1
  19632. ...it's just you. Sorry.
    1
  19633. Most of the weight reduction came from a lighter barrel profile (since the air cooling in a plane would be much more effective than on a ground gun) and lightening the bolt components to increase the rate of fire.
    1
  19634. .30-06
    1
  19635. It's a reproduction commissioned by a TV show.
    1
  19636. They were not regulation weapons.
    1
  19637. That's an M1919A6.
    1
  19638. https://youtu.be/8kO867TRAwQ
    1
  19639. Less-lethal ammunition that would not cycle it in semiauto.
    1
  19640. https://youtu.be/HQpMpWYefyw
    1
  19641. +MadnerKami No, I don't think the hook is really of any actual use.
    1
  19642. +Yfr28 I'm sure you could do that, but it doesn't sound practical or helpful to me...
    1
  19643. +Brian Savage Hence the bit at the very end...
    1
  19644. Yup, SMG's trigger on the semiauto DP is excellent.
    1
  19645. Yep. It's filmed, I just don't have a publication date set yet.
    1
  19646. Our information came from Richard Law's book "Backbone of the Wehrmacht Vol. II: Sniper Variations of the German K98k Rifle, published by Collector Grade.
    1
  19647. Numrich.
    1
  19648. We have entire companies that exist only because of this...
    1
  19649. The barrel revolves.
    1
  19650. Jonathan Hughes Funny you guys should mention the Owen - some footage of Owen testing is what gave me the idea to do this (and a send testing video that hasn't published yet). The original footage is copyrighted so I can't use it myself (alas), but you can see it here: http://www.t3licensing.com/license/clip/48050209_2200.do
    1
  19651. Sorry you feel that way.
    1
  19652. I did. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/event/finnish-brutality-october-23-24-2021/61118#history
    1
  19653. Well, the entire nation of Finland appears to disagree :)
    1
  19654. I also got vaccinated before I took the trip.
    1
  19655. Like many distilleries, they started making hand sanitizer during the pandemic.
    1
  19656. I took the train :)
    1
  19657. Good eye! It does slightly blow out the brass on one side. I don't know if it's characteristic of the design, or just this particular example.
    1
  19658. We will be signing books at the Arsenal booth on Wednesday the 23rd starting at 2pm.
    1
  19659. Excellent!
    1
  19660. No need. The sling can be set up for either left or right hand use.
    1
  19661. The problem is that the first thing Cooper would not do is use a surplus military action.
    1
  19662. I suspect it's because of the depth of the gas tube hole in the bolt carrier. I think the gas has enough time to slowly expand that we don't see a puff.
    1
  19663. It's plastic of some type, and appears to be very sturdy.
    1
  19664. Not really, but still better than you can cut with the spike bayonet.
    1
  19665. Yes, until we sell out.
    1
  19666. $95
    1
  19667. Yup!
    1
  19668. Thanks!
    1
  19669. Just a few sets left...https://candrsenal.com/product/limited-edition-project-lightening-patches-set-of-3/

  19670. I expect they will have the restocked in a couple days.

  19673. It was published today, not uploaded.

  19674. This is definitely not a "need" sort of thing.
    1
  19675. https://youtu.be/yaBZC9t9Q3o
    1
  19676. It's the AU-Sten.
    1
  19677. Cost.
    1
  19678. No, the bolt locks into a recess in the receiver. The parts look toggle-like, though.
    1
  19679. Full30 just overhauled their whole site, and are still working out some new bugs.
    1
  19680. Thanks!
    1
  19681. Yes, the Bren fires form an open bolt.
    1
  19682. https://shop.bbtv.com/collections/forgotten-weapons/products/unisex-t-shirt-51
    1
  19683. Excellent :)
    1
  19684. Yes, you can pledge in Euros. Price starts at $98 US.
    1
  19685. We will make an exception for you. :)
    1
  19686. Malfunctions, mostly ammo related. The Frankfort Arsenal ammo provided for the trial was kinda crap, and caused problems in all the guns. The ammo DWM made works a lot better, but the FA ammo was what counted.
    1
  19687. If the sear gets worn, it can fire when you close the action.
    1
  19688. Search is your friend. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-aEWZrTibE

  19693. Coil - they switched to that in 1906.
    1
  19694. No, not yet.
    1
  19695. If I find one, I will.
    1
  19696. +F3LDK0CH Yeah, I goofed the editing.
    1
  19697. +diasirea Yep, you should be fine with Prvi. As a bonus, it actually fired when you hit the primer on it, unlike 8x50R surplus. :) If you need more clips, you can find them on eBay for about $10 each, made new by some cool guys in Australia.
    1
  19698. +diasirea Yes, I was using Prvi Partisan. It has the groove in the case to make it safe in Lebel rifles, and it duplicates (more or less) the WWI loading. It is safe to use in both "N" converted guns and unconverted guns.
    1
  19699. They do work reasonably well. A small number were purchased by the Mexican Army (they also used Nagant-style gas seal revolvers).
    1
  19700. motosheep Yup, even them.
    1
  19701. The Colt revolving rifle (and shotgun) was also a commercial failure, although they did manage to get a small military contract before everyone realized that they were impractical.
    1
  19702. At the moment, we have only 4 pledges from Russia.
    1
  19703. Approximately 4% of both Thorneycroft and Chassepot.
    1
  19704. Denmark squeaks in at 10th place right now. :)
    1
  19705. Also, the tour will include at least 5 stops on Islay.
    1
  19706. They are at the printer now, and we expect to be shipping the preorders in 8-10 weeks.
    1
  19707. Temporary situation, daily posting will return in about 2 weeks.
    1
  19708. That would be very cool! My hat size is 59, and address is Forgotten Weapons 6281 N. Oracle #36270 Tucson, AZ 85740 Thanks!
    1
  19709. Sure, that would be cool - thanks! I have a mailing address in the video description...
    1
  19710. Good to know, thanks!
    1
  19711. Nope, not me...
    1
  19712. True, but mine does not.
    1
  19713. It would, but I don't have one.
    1
  19714. Haha - no, it is definitely not. :)
    1
  19715. Yes, as a safety consideration because they are live ammunition. Just in case one gets into the cylinder through improper manipulation, it can't fire if it's in backwards.
    1
  19716. Yes, it is a C&R gun. Anything more than 50 years old is, automatically.
    1
  19717. Machine guns do not have barrel length restrictions.
    1
  19718. Machine guns have no barrel length restriction.
    1
  19719. The standard book is $85 in the Kickstarter; will be $95 retail once the Kickstarter ends.
    1
  19720. The greatest thing about them is that you can issue your own!
    1
  19721. Yes!
    1
  19722. I have never been in the military.
    1
  19723. Ticket price was 170 Euro / $192.
    1

  19725. He is welcome to come if he wants to.
    1

    1
  19729. Heh - I have no idea. It's something I got in a batch of webbing year ago, and never was able to identify.
    1
  19730. 8.6 Blackout
    1
  19731. Congrats!
    1
  19732. No, because the frame doesn't have to move - only the slide.
    1
  19733. Yes, they are proprietary because of the mag catch location. Daniel Defense sells them really cheap, though.
    1
  19734. That's Wurttemburg.
    1
  19735. Nope. The Berthiers were fielded for cavalry and special troops, and the Lebel for infantry.
    1
  19736. Not a standalone video, but I cover one here: https://youtu.be/8FXt5md6jPk
    1
  19737. No hablo español
    1
  19738. +Rogue Trader Nope, not yet.
    1
  19739. +Zellio2011 No, it's not something I have planned to do. Maybe eventually, but not in the near future.
    1
  19740. Yes they are - I wear them all the time
    1
  19741. We have some photos on the web site, but haven't gotten out hands on one for a video or range test...yet. :)
    1
  19742. I don't know of any others offhand, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's something else out there...
    1
  19743. We don't have videos of any others yet, but we do have extensive photos of a couple more on the web site.
    1
  19744. Sorry, all I have on it is the photo I posted on the blog.
    1
  19745. No, it uses a proprietary mag.
    1
  19746. It's not going to win any ergonomics awards, but it's not too bad.
    1
  19747. Yes, the next auction series starts in about 2 weeks.
    1
  19748. I spent most of a week there filming. There's now only one video left to post form the trip...
    1
  19749. Yes.
    1
  19750. Nobody actually uses 10mm today.
    1
  19751. You're right. I should have said Accuracy Destroyer.
    1
  19752. And yet somehow it had the shortest service life of any US infantry rifle; even shorter than its own development cycle. And it not only got dropped form service, but the entire design team was fired and their base closed down. The only other people to use it are the ones we gave it to. People will say it was politics, but these are not the hallmarks of a successful rifle...

  19757. +JAK0723 It's not posted yet.
    1
  19758. Nope.
    1
  19759. H&R made one; the Model 60. Semiauto, 16" barrel, same magazines.
    1
  19760. I was referring to the Musee d'Armee in Paris.
    1
  19761. It's not for sale.
    1
  19762. On the WWII floor...I don't recall exactly which display case.
    1
  19763. I do whatever it takes. :)
    1
  19764. Nope, not me.
    1
  19765. Anyone thinking that is Swiss.
    1
  19766. An interesting idea, but completely untrue.
    1
  19767. I did - thank you!
    1
  19768. If it had survived the red dot process, that would have been my next step.
    1
  19769. At a gun show many years ago.
    1
  19770. Creedmoor Shooting Sports
    1

    1
  19775. Varusteleka
    1
  19776. I don't think it would.
    1
  19777. It did actually come unlatched with other shooters later, after we were done filming.
    1
  19778. South African R1.
    1
  19779. If you find them for sale anywhere, let me know...
    1
  19780. So...I shouldn't label the next one ULTIMATE CHAUCHAT MELTDOWN? :)
    1
  19781. Just seemed like a fun diversion. :)
    1
  19782. Yes, the Kickstarter will run until June 18th.
    1
  19783. It is .30-06.
    1
  19784. Yeah, it ran more slowly than I expected, and I don't know exactly why.
    1
  19785. Because I filmed and uploaded both videos before I realized that I'd made the mistake.
    1
  19786. I got it from a guy on M14Forum.com named forceman. He sells them as kits.
    1
  19787. Correct! XD
    1
  19788. The retail version is blue; the Kickstarter edition(which is what my copy here is) is red. The content is the same, just different color covers.
    1
  19789. No, those are quite different.
    1
  19790. Yes, a polo available in the merch shop...
    1
  19791. We will, although if we can't find a French distributor it will be expensive. I would certainly consider a French translation if there is sufficient interest to justify it.
    1
  19792. PO Box 87647Tucson, AZ 85745Thanks!
    1
  19793. Yes.
    1
  19794. Only the very small ones.
    1
  19795. 8mm Lebel.
    1
  19796. Yes.
    1
  19797. If I find one, definitely.
    1
  19798. About 25 kilos for the gun and another 25 for the tripod.
    1
  19799. Remember that the Henry and 1866 Winchester both used rimfire cartridges, so there was nothing in the center for the bullet to hit.
    1
  19800. No, not yet.
    1
  19801. +Buzz Bombs Gaming and guns I just posted some photos on the Forgotten Weapons Facebook page
    1
  19802. Get the two. The civilian two has several of the most relevant improvements already, and there is no plan to release the three commercially at this point.
    1
  19803. So the measure of a gun is how many countries use it, not counting all the ones that aren't the US?
    1
  19804. What makes you say that?
    1
  19805. Brandon Cowan Topping off an M1 is no different than any other magazine-fed semiauto, except that the bolt has to be held open manually while you load individual rounds.
    1
  19806. Working in the SIG Neuhausen factory makes it simpler, I suspect.
    1
  19807. Yes.
    1
  19808. None I am aware of.
    1
  19809. Those are brass spacer tabs to keep the belt aligned.
    1
  19810. Those are brass tabs built into the belt to keep it properly aligned.
    1
  19811. I did!
    1
  19812. Leave it to BF1 to make up an imaginary type of malfunction...
    1
  19813. I have several; use the YouTube search.
    1
  19814. This is not true.
    1
  19815. Nope.
    1
  19816. I used to own a Vickers; I've done that before. :)
    1
  19817. Those are brass spacer tabs built into the belt.
    1
  19818. No, but I have everything I need to start loading for my Chassepot.
    1
  19819. Remarkably, I did not. I managed to come in right as a big group was leaving.
    1
  19820. Give me 6 months... :)
    1
  19821. They took about 3000 casualties storming the fort.
    1
  19822. Not this time, unfortunately.
    1
  19823. Two stamps - MG and suppressor. Machine guns do not have barrel length restrictions, so the SBR stamp is not needed.
    1
  19824. The semiauto only version imported into the US was designated K1A1.
    1
  19825. K1A1 is the designation used on the semiauto ones exported to the US.
    1
  19826. +golfnstuf http://www.forgottenweapons.com/1907-us-pistol-revolver-trials/
    1

    1
  19828. Sometimes they do; sometimes not.
    1
  19829. Not yet...
    1
  19830. Whoops! Thanks.
    1
  19831. Yes, I did a video on each gun in this conclusion.
    1
  19832. Danners.
    1
  19833. Sorry, I mixed up the first name. It was George who invented the gun; no relation to the Morse code guy, Samuel.
    1
  19834. There are no big gun companies in the US, not by the standard of actually large corporations.
    1
  19835. It failed to meet reserve, and didn't sell.
    1
  19836. It came form MGM Targets.
    1
  19837. IMadeChuckNorris That's just the camera.
    1
  19838. SheldonWylieShooter It's supposed to, but this particular Sudanese rifle has a weak detent spring that allowed the handle to bounce back slightly.
    1
  19839. dgott7726 It doesn't normally move; this particular rifle has a weak detent spring.
    1
  19840. RnD Media I doubt it.
    1
  19841. Unfortunately, no - they closed up recently.
    1
  19842. patrislumumba07 Yup!
    1
  19843. It was total luck. :)
    1
  19844. I was 25th of 51 shooters.
    1
  19845. GunFun ZS Yep, I just haven't messed with one in close to 10 years.
    1
  19846. There is a shotgun chapter.
    1
  19847. Used car.
    1
  19848. It was a gift from an Irish viewer.
    1
  19849. https://youtu.be/HiDVKCVkFDM
    1
  19850. None, at least none noticeable.
    1
  19851. German law dating back to the 1950s is the reason.
    1
  19852. The $200 tax to register it would also have been very expensive in the 1940s and 50s.
    1
  19853. That was a solid dummy round, and doesn't show any of the details of real ammo.
    1
  19854. YouTube will demonetize the video if I don't blur it. Complain to them, not me.
    1
  19855. Not even close.
    1
  19856. Nope.
    1
  19857. Late 1930s, actually.

  19858. +John Kelley Brown Nope, they had the G41 and then G43.
    1
  19859. The Japanese made these to use their standard Type 99 stripper clips rather than trying to copy the US en bloc clip.
    1
  19860. +John Nissen As far as I can tell, that rear sight is typical.
    1
  19861. +Molo9000 Not to my knowledge. They experimented with Pedersen and ZH-29 copies before the war, and Koishikawa made an experimental semiauto rifle of their own design during the war, but I don't know of any copies of other designs.
    1
  19862. +Danny Groom It doesn't sell until the end of this month.
    1
  19863. +wikikomoto No ping.
    1
  19864. +nmag The follower engages the holdopen, but the oprod doesn't drop forward until you pull it back slightly and then release.
    1
  19865. It was, thanks :)
    1
  19866. Yes.
    1
  19867. 9mm Makarov is subsonic to begin with.
    1
  19868. Obviously.
    1
  19869. Literally the first thing I say in the video is where I found the gun...
    1
  19870. 104 years old.

    1
  19872. We have no idea.
    1
  19873. Original Henry rifles are really expensive.
    1
  19874. Yes, because the RK62 was developed form the Galil.
    1
  19875. Those "tractor cap" jackets were introduced in WW2, copied form the Finns. They didn't exist in WW1.
    1
  19876. Right here: https://youtu.be/S0YfOPrE3u0
    1
  19877. It does, thank you!
    1
  19878. Thank you!
    1
  19879. I have done about 1800 videos, which are all available on YouTube. At an average of about 12 minutes long each, that would fill more than 150 DVDs - making it an impractical thing to do. Sorry!
    1
  19880. Yup, for sure.
    1
  19881. One does not yet exist.
    1
  19882. Thanks!
    1
  19883. Thank you!
    1
  19884. November.
    1
  19885. Can you send me an email (admin@forgottenweapons.com) so I can keep in contact?
    1
  19886. You can reach me at admin@forgottenweapons.com - I would like to do a video on an FNAB 43, if the logistics are feasible.
    1

    1
  19888. +fhsreelfilms I'd love to!
    1
  19889. +SacoreyRugger That's why Bannerman converted a lot of them to .30-06.
    1
  19890. +keith moore Slip of the tongue.
    1
  19891. +Danny Newmanny You can see the estimated value at the auction house's site - I don't want to get into giving dollar values because they fluctuate and are often affected by small details that a lot of people don't notice. I don't want people taking my estimates, which might be high or low because of details, and applying them to other guns that are actually substantially different in value.
    1
  19892. +Tim Knapper No, they are not.
    1
  19893. +Molentik Yes.
    1
  19894. +sergeantbigmac It was a slip of the tongue.
    1
  19895. +Hugh Woatmeigh Early Austro-Hungarian M95s have sights marked in schritt (close to the same as an arshin).
    1
  19896. +iknowmy3table Neither - they are new videos, and they post on Full30 two days before they post here.
    1
  19897. +Moose https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKpeHHpo_FE
    1
  19898. Yes, 20 rounds single stack.
    1
  19899. I am quite sure that it doesn't.
    1
  19900. Please provide evidence of this.
    1
  19901. It was designed for a 2-man team, where one fired and the other reloaded.
    1
  19902. The Beretta 38 SMG, the Beretta 34/35 pistols, and the M38 Carcano. And the Breda Model 38 heavy MG.
    1
  19903. They made it up.
    1
  19904. Noted! Thanks! :)
    1
  19905. Thanks!
    1
  19906. Correct.
    1
  19907. I grew up playing piobaireachd, and can pronounce a bit of Gaelic. :)
    1
  19908. No.
    1
  19909. It's very similar to the rear sight on the Pattern 1914 Enfield.
    1
  19910. Yes.
    1
  19911. Nope, I mean obturator.
    1
  19912. This rifle version is .40 caliber.
    1
  19913. Yep.
    1
  19914. 3.85
    1
  19915. Fingertip vs knuckle is a question where either answer is fine.
    1
  19916. Three shot groups are not indicative of accuracy, but they are fine for checking zero.
    1
  19917. It's the French issue sniper rifle based on the MAS-36. https://youtu.be/7qFAWsqdP14
    1
  19918. It is an APX-L806.
    1
  19919. It's a removable sunshade.
    1
  19920. That's the original APX-L806 scope.
    1
  19921. It's only held on by spring tension, and was tilting forward there (oops).
    1
  19922. Colombian digital

  19924. Battle Gnome Solutions
    1
  19925. Later than the scope of this video.
    1
  19926. Just the 7.63mm Mauser, which is still made by Fiocchi and Prvi Partisan (and maybe a few others).
    1
  19927. Bergmanns are very cool. I have a series coming on all of them, from the first 1894 prototypes to the last 1920s trials guns. That will change your mind. :)
    1
  19928. No.
    1
  19929. That guy knows nothing about what he owns and has dangerous range safety practices.
    1
  19930. Yes, the museum was put together after WW2.
    1
  19931. It's a sticker :)
    1
  19932. Just a sticker :)

    1
  19934. It's linked in the description.
    1
  19935. Yes, it was.
    1
  19936. I'll try, but I don't have a line on one at the moment.

  19940. They are not smoothbore.
    1
  19941. Didn't think I needed to - open tube, insert battery.
    1
  19942. Thanks!
    1
  19943. They have been talking about that for years now.
    1
  19944. Who knew that glorious katana steel can't handle a bit of plastic...
    1
  19945. It's a commercial M76 Valmet.
    1
  19946. Email me photos at admin@forgottenweapons.com .
    1
  19947. No. Dealing with music copyrights is a nightmare of epic proportions that I am not going to get into.
    1
  19948. Yes.
    1
  19949. Yes.
    1
  19950. They are in no way affiliated with each other.
    1
  19951. Hopefully it will be a long time before I can prove every last requirement for such a title. ;)
    1
  19952. Yes, computer brand choice is certainly a good measure of character.
    1
  19953. It's no formal model; I put it together myself.
    1
  19954. That's a Chassepot bayonet (but many others from the mid 1800s look pretty similar).
    1
  19955. Yes, there is nothing to latch it in the folded position. I presume it would be in a bag or pouch that would keep it from flopping around.
    1
  19956. Nope, there doesn't appear to have been any reinforcement added, although the hinge itself may fill that function.
    1
  19957. jsm666 Space for tracer and AP components was an argument raised in favor of the .30 cal projectiles, although in hindsight it wasn't actually all that legit. As for the Bren and Vickers, examples were made in .280 of both guns, and the plan was to use that cartridge in everything.
    1
  19958. These were not import marked, but I doubt they were used by the Chinese.
    1
  19959. Agreed!
    1
  19960. Varusteleka.
    1
  19961. It's not a mistake, just an old fashioned spelling.
    1
  19962. No, it is not.
    1
  19963. The BAR was also designated M1918, as was the much less commonly known M1918 CSRG in .30-06. Just like there being a rifle, carbine, and SMG all designated the M1 in WWII. And FWIW, I think the BAR was a fairly mediocre squad automatic. It was a good choice in WWI, but by the 1940s it was totally outclassed by the Bren. The European adaptation of the Browning were pretty nice (FN-D, et al), but the US kept the obsolete WWI version to its detriment.
    1
  19964. Yeah, really really bad designs usually don't get made in that quantity. Maybe that suggests the CSRG wasn't as bad as popular opinion (held by people who have never shot one) would have you believe?
    1
  19965. Sure, but this is not necessarily a problem. The "slow" setting on the BAR was around the same speed. For assault fire, a slow rate of fire makes the magazine last longer and improves controllability. Walking assault fire may have been a bad idea, but they didn't realize that when the early automatic rifles like the CSRG and BAR were being designed.
    1
  19966. For WWI, the BAR was pretty good. But by WWII standards it was too heavy, didn't have quick-change barrels, and had mediocre ergonomics. It comes up short when compared to the Bren, ZB, Chatellerault 24/29, or Nambu. FN proved that it could be a great contender with those other guns, but the US military ignored the improvements that other countries made to the gun.
    1
  19967. Yes, several. It was reliable when clean and much lighter and more portable than anything else in the French or German arsenals.
    1
  19968. No problem - no offense meant.
    1
  19969. They aren't going to win any design awards, but it's not the piece of junk most people think. It was largely the incorrectly made ,30-06 version that gave it such a bad reputation.
    1
  19970. No, it wasn't anywhere near as bad as popular myth would have you believe. Not an award-winning design, but not too bad for its day. The biggest problem was the open magazines getting gunked up.
    1
  19971. Ever used a Benet-Mercie?
    1
  19972. The slow motion was filmed separately from the regular video, and I had it in unlimited auto for the slow motion.
    1
  19973. It can be swapped to left or right side ejection in about 60 seconds. No extra parts needed.
    1
  19974. You also flip the extractor to the other side. I'll post a video showing the process shortly.
    1
  19975. You can swap it from left to right in about 60 seconds, with practice. Doesn't require any extra parts.
    1
  19976. It is just a grenade sight
    1
  19977. The reason was that if the barrel is plugged and you fire a round, a brass case will rupture but a steel case will not. Since I'm not planning to plug the bore, it's not a big deal to use brass.
    1
  19978. The slow motion segments were filmed separately, in standard automatic mode.
    1
  19979. Malheureusement non. Nous ne pouvons plus les importer légalement.
    1
  19980. The slow motion shots were filmed separately, with the selector on plain automatic.
    1
  19981. Better; there was long drink and sauna.
    1
  19982. One of these: https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/forgotten-weapons-jaakaripuukko-110-carbon-steel/74336

  19984. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hvgZ3qxzbw
    1
  19985. The G41(M) is a much different design, but I haven't had a chance to make a video on one yet (they are also much more rare than the G41W).
    1
  19986. Yes, that's correct.
    1
  19987. I plan to do very few.
    1
  19988. Just the 9mm version.
    1
  19989. It would have been #5 if not for the Skorpion.
    1
  19990. Nope. Those are pretty mediocre guns.

  19992. https://shop.bbtv.com/collections/forgotten-weapons
    1
  19993. Yes.
    1
  19994. Yep.
    1
  19995. I've never fired a 7.92x41, so I don't know.
    1
  19996. Pretty much normal.
    1
  19997. Not mechanically; the British just liked the bullpup layout.
    1
  19998. It was original production.
    1
  19999. Eventually, I promise.
    1
  20000. I know - unfortunately, I have no control over the ads.
    1
  20001. Unless you held it out of battery.
    1
  20002. No, that would just prevent it from cycling after it fired.
    1
  20003. PTR; it's a semiauto clone of an AG3, not a real one.
    1
  20004. The guys who built the rifle for me welded up the charging handle tube and re-cut a new slot in it prior to welding it onto the receiver.
    1
  20005. I will cover the modernized M14 variations when I have a good opportunity to do so...
    1
  20006. It's really not optics-friendly.
    1
  20007. I've come around on the G3...
    1
  20008. The Treaty of Versailles did not say anything about water-cooled guns versus air-cooled ones. You can read the complete text of it here: https://wwi.lib.byu.edu/index.php/Peace_Treaty_of_Versailles
    1
  20009. Can you email me at admin@forgottenweapons.com?
    1
  20010. They are not collecting the tax for new registrations of braced pistols.
    1
  20011. They are not collecting the tax for registrations don in the next 4 months, so it's clearly not a money issue.
    1
  20012. Yes.
    1
  20013. It doesn't matter - once its registered you can put any stock you like on it.
    1
  20014. The middle "a" is basically silent, for no good reason.
    1
  20015. No, that's Tucson AZ.
    1
  20016. It's PPC.
    1
  20017. It would not.
    1
  20018. I do, intentionally.
    1
  20019. There is nothing directly wrong with them, but they are a strong predictor of problems elsewhere.
    1
  20020. +BigBossManBBQ Yes.
    1
  20021. +Paul Lytle http://www.savagearms.com/history/
    1
  20022. Yes
    1
  20023. Pretty well, as long as the particular example is in good condition.
    1
  20024. I have separate videos coming on several of the scarce models.
    1
  20025. +GR46404 I mention that in the video...
    1
  20026. +David Stegman I have a separate video on the .45 Savages that is already filmed, and will publish in a few weeks.
    1
  20027. +Jeff Smith It was more durable, more reliable, and more soldier-proof.
    1
  20028. +Jeff Smith Because the Colt is a better gun.
    1
  20029. I mean, only if you aren't hiding on a couch...
    1
  20030. You might get a different opinion on that if you asked Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Tibet, Korea, or Myanmar about the Qing dynasty (among many others)...
    1
  20031. Yes.
    1
  20032. https://youtu.be/Z61y9BuRQOY?t=90
    1
  20033. Yeah, that helps
    1
  20034. Stetson. It's an old felt one.
    1
  20035. Yes; that is an Egyptian Port Said SMG.
    1
  20036. Cuz I screwed up.
    1
  20037. We will get to that one...
    1
  20038. As a formally accredited museum, they cannot shoot items in the collection.
    1
  20039. The Buffalo Bill Center of the West includes the Cody Firearms Museum as well as 4 other museums, including natural history, American history, plains Indians, and western art. And, of course, Yellowstone National Park is just a short drive away.
    1
  20040. Funny you should ask, I have a video coming on that very question. :)
    1
  20041. Semiauto only vs select-fire.
    1
  20042. There was an Indian or Pakistani company that talked about doing them, but nothing ever came of it.
    1
  20043. You are probably searching in their next online-only auction, not the premiere.
    1
  20044. No, not yet. On the list though!
    1
  20045. Zero. It's legit.
    1
  20046. Nope, wasn't me.
    1
  20047. No, because it doesn't have a locked breech.
    1
  20048. Nope.
    1
  20049. It's monsoon season - we get about half out annual rainfall in the 6 weeks or so of late summer.
    1
  20050. It's just sweat.
    1
  20051. The standard vz82 holster is ambidextrous.
    1
  20052. Nope. Closest thing would be the CZ75.
    1
  20053. I own this one myself.
    1
  20054. I don't have a left-handed AR upper.
    1
  20055. My comparison was based on price - the TOR and the WWSD lowers are approximately the same cost.
    1
  20056. I am left handed.
    1
  20057. Yes, but only 3 parts this time.
    1
  20058. They are two names for the same cartridge.
    1
  20059. Very true.
    1
  20060. Not that I'm aware of.
    1
  20061. Yes.
    1
  20062. In general, factory ammo in the past has cost the same amount as factory ammo today, relative to guns and other goods.
    1
  20063. No, those were mostly Vickers K guns.
    1
  20064. Sorry, but you only get to pick one perk per contribution.
    1
  20065. Thanks!
    1
  20066. Will do - thanks!
    1
  20067. Glad you enjoy it!
    1
  20068. Thank you!
    1
  20069. It's much appreciated - thanks!
    1
  20070. Thank you!
    1
  20071. My pleasure...I plan to go on doing this for many years to come.
    1
  20072. I wish I could! Sadly, the rifle's owner has died, and his guns are all in a messy estate situation that precludes me having any access to them. :(
    1
  20073. Thank you!
    1
  20074. Bogota ;)
    1
  20075. Colombian
    1
  20076. I think a front cocking handle would be a good addition.
    1
  20077. The piece that came loose was installed by Burris, not by me
    1
  20078. Otto Noizebarriers
    1
  20079. Arizona.
    1
  20080. Yesterday.
    1
  20081. I have.
    1
  20082. Not yet.
    1
  20083. Must be vodka or Gammel Dansk.
    1
  20084. My PayPal address is admin@forgottenweapons.com - thanks!
    1
  20085. Technically, it's an RPKS.
    1
  20086. Made in Germany, imported by a company in Maine.
    1
  20087. You are correct; I should be saying bolt thrust.
    1
  20088. This was not in the US.
    1
  20089. erebostd No, the term "panzer" was not in use during WWI. It came later.
    1
  20090. Emmet Harte No, neither.
    1
  20091. TShirtCannon No, I don't think there is any disadvantage.
    1
  20092. Correct, they do not.
    1
  20093. No, they are changing some guns that were already registered as pre-86 samples to fully transferrable status.
    1
  20094. A good theory, except that the transfer taxes go into the general and not to ATF.
    1
  20095. No, but it would certainly help.
    1
  20096. I don't think this will have a noticeable impact on prices. I think the transferrable market can easily accommodate 4,000 new guns at current prices.
    1
  20097. No, it is limited to guns imported pre-1986 specifically for police agencies.
    1
  20098. That is correct, they shot at each other.
    1
  20099. Nope.
    1
  20100. All credit for that goes to C&Rsenal...
    1
  20101. Well done.
    1
  20102. No, different example.
    1
  20103. whispers (February) Sorry.
    1
  20104. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5h3NnS8KBaE
    1
  20105. No - there are only one or two of those in existence, and they are in museums.
    1
  20106. It was Geoffrey Sturgess' collection.
    1
  20107. Me too!
    1
  20108. Ack, sorry! I meant to copy the video link and YouTube gave me the link to the ad it ran. I just fixed it.
    1
  20109. That's just the inventory tag for the collection it is currently in.
    1
  20110. No, most of the other shooters were using ARs.
    1
  20111. It's not intended to be science - no apology necessary.

  20112. I didn't have any problem with balance on the Enfield; the weight was all pretty much over the balance point. The ZF41 is light enough that I don't think it had a noticeable effect either. FWIW, I did use a Webley (well, a No2 Enfield revolver) in the previous UK vs Germany match.
    1
  20113. I took the time to zero this scope and rifle before the match, and it was working well until it got knocked down on the scope. Also, after re-zeroing is worked great. The No32 was known as a pretty darn good scope in military circles.
    1
  20114. The chalk round was damaged, and disintegrated at the muzzle, with the base (like a shotgun wad) taking off upward.
    1
  20115. It's a round full of chalk dust so you can see the impact. The weight and velocity are calibrated to duplicate the trajectory of a real HE grenade.
    1
  20116. They can be lethal. There was a training incident described to me where someone thought it would be a funny joke to shoot a teammate in the back point blank with "just a chalk round" and it killed him.
    1
  20117. Yup.
    1
  20118. It's actually relatively quiet, for a firearm.

    1
  20123. Well, the 249 takes both belts and box magazines.
    1
  20124. Yes.
    1
  20125. Where did you see these accounts?

  20131. Bullet Drop Compensator. Basically a cam cut to match the trajectory of a particular cartridge so you can easily adjust for elevation at any range (but only for that one cartridge).
    1
  20132. Cool!
    1
  20133. About a month ago, late May.
    1
  20134. Yes, you can go inside.

  20141. kbilsky As soon as I can find an example of one here.
    1
  20142. Werner Heisenberg I think people overestimate the practical utility of anti-material rifles a lot. They are great in video games because you don't see issues regarding weight, accuracy, and the likelihood of actually having the opportunity to make long-range precision shots in a real military skirmish or battle.

  20146. Approximately zero.
    1
  20147. Yes. I have a whole video series on development of the SA80.
    1
  20148. With proper working guns, this is not necessary. It is standard practice in the British military only because of the problems of the L85A1.
    1
  20149. The same plus some extra problems.
    1
  20150. Nobody working in the SA80 project had any personal experience.
    1
  20151. Well, all the guys who designed the SMLE in 1902 were dead by the 1970s.
    1
  20152. Because Army indoctrination about using the safety lever is designed for environments where the guns are often loaded, and far less relevant to museum settings.
    1
  20153. You simply don't shoot this left-handed.
    1
  20154. Everyone in the British Army gets to be right handed. :)
    1
  20155. Being left handed with an L85 is only a problem is you actually shoot it left handed. As long as you shoot like a righty, you will be fine. :)

  20156. Sorry, I don't recall.

    1
  20162. One the one hand, who knows? None of the standards are actually published anywhere. One the other hand, current best guess is that 30 round mags are what they don't like, and FAMAS mags hold 25. So in conclusion, who the hell knows?

    1
  20168. +juggaknot93 For a combat rifle, I would generally prefer a 5.56mm, because I think the advantages in capacity, weight, and recoil outweigh the reduced barrier penetration. Have you looked at the sights on a WWI rifle? You weren't going to make 700 yard hits with those in the first place. If you ever have the chance, get a friend to stand (or better yet, lie down on the ground) 700 yards away and see what a person looks like at that distance.
    1
  20169. +Steven Swingler Yes.
    1
  20170. +wastool I think the P14/M1917 was probably the best overall rifle of the war.
    1
  20171. +hippoace No, we have not done more sand testing.
    1
  20172. +Tommy Ohlrich Wait, you are saying 5.56 ammo would be a problem in WWI and suggesting a lightsaber instead?
    1
  20173. +redfernsoljah If we get one, we will find out.
    1
  20174. +Nasty McJackass The elements of the AR and AK designs relevant to this test have not substantially changed over the development of either design.

    1
  20181. +BTR Gaming The 7.62x39 cartridge was first developed in 1943, and was not used in any bolt action rifles. Its first service use was in the SKS.
    1
  20182. +Matt Campbell The M14 is about the worst possible rifle for use in the mud.
    1
  20183. +monkeyboy4746 Not really, I put it in there because I like it. :)
    1
  20184. +morganloy I think they are pretty much as good as they are going to get, and the progress we see will be in optics and targeting systems.

  20185. Thanks!
    1
  20186. +iotaje1 Actually, it's French.
    1
  20187. No, of course not. You have to pump it between shots.

  20188. Matt has been running shotguns since he was tall enough to hold them. His father was a shotgun trainer for the FBI HRT, alongside Ken Hackathorn and others.
    1
  20189. It only fires after the bolt is locked.
    1

    1
  20196. December. Gotta shoot an FG42 first.
    1
  20197. That grip lets you see the trigger pull.
    1
  20198. Yep.
    1
  20199. Not sure. It might work, but it might not drive the striker hard enough to reliable ignite primers. I'm not sure exactly how Colt engineered that change.
    1
  20200. No, that performance was not normal.
    1
  20201. No, it is not a backup weapon in any way. However, this match with its low round count was ideal for this gun with its expensive ammo and small (relatively) magazine capacity.
    1
  20202. Good question - I'm not sure.
    1
  20203. Just InRange.
    1
  20204. The box magazine was only invented in the late 1870s, and was patented by Lee at first.

    1
  20209. Yes, it is.

    1
  20224. +Hannibal of Carthage The Italians converted M1915 Villar Perosas into single-barrel guns with shoulder stocks at the end of the war, and as far as I can tell they were introduced within a week or two of the MP18. Nobody seems exactly sure which one actually saw combat first.
    1
  20225. +Justin Grainger I don't think so, because it cannot be fired from the folded position. Legally I think it would be the same as the various takedown models from the same era.

  20346. When Browning designed the .380 ACP cartridge there were a bunch of other .38 caliber rounds in use (Including the .38 Automatic, which was more powerful nd intended for locked-breech pistols). The extra "0" was added to differentiate this one from the others.
    1
  20347. The .38 ACP and .380 ACP are different cartridges, and the .38 ACP is very rarely used today.

    1
  20391. It's a reproduction.
    1
  20392. Fantastic! Please let me know when you have something ready that I can help promote!
    1
  20393. +Banana potpie Yes, and recently. One example would be the Remington XP-100.

  20394. Full30 has just moved to HD capacity (that's why you can see the resolution options now). It will take a couple days, as the database is reprocessed and then these will be in 1080 on Full30.

    1
  20397. It was sold right from the factory as a deac.

  20398. The side rail works really well, and has some advantages over picatinny.
    1
  20399. Meters.
    1
  20400. Yep, same Dansk Industri Syndikat that made the M50 SMG and the Madsen LMG.
    1
  20401. Unfortunately, none were ever made.
    1
  20402. I don't know, unfortunately. Pricing isn't in the manual we have, and in any case I'm sure it would depend on the quantity and configuration requested.
    1
  20403. .30-06

    1
  20409. The M93 costs 50% or less of what an FR-F1 costs.
    1
  20410. The end of the trench was built up a bit, so you can access it via trapdoor in the ground.
    1
  20411. I believe it was actually a Beretta M1934 pistol.
    1
  20412. The stock similarities are just coincidence. As for a repro T44, I would love to, but we'll have to see if it's a practical possibility.
    1
  20413. https://youtu.be/fRLIYz8f58E
    1
  20414. Yeah, we realized that and have fixed it on the book - can't change the video retroactively though.
    1
  20415. The Tobacco book is a part of our Kickstarter for Clockwork Basilisk. Take a look at the pledge options on the right side; there are two specifically for Japanese books.
    1
  20416. As opposed to lizard people.
    1
  20417. It's actually just pressed into place.

    1
  20425. +Dylan Kornberg I found the original source in a magazine from the 1850s, but I can't dig it up right now. However, you can find the tale repeated several places, including "Guns" magazine from 1965: http://www.gunsmagazine.com/1965issues/G0865.pdf
    1
  20426. +Jonny Gib Cool!
    1
  20427. +woLv yuLgang Nope, it's new. You are probably thinking of a piece I did on a Porter turret rifle.
    1
  20428. +Mikhael Beauparlant Sure, if I ever find out any detailed information on it.
    1
  20429. +Henrick Likesrabbits That was the DP-28, and it avoided the safety issue by using cartridges instead of being a muzzleloader.
    1
  20430. +zendell37 Possibly.
    1
  20431. Yes, I did and will.
    1
  20432. That is a separate video.
    1
  20433. No - the Madsen is mechanically completely different form the Bren.
    1
  20434. +Charlie Mods Nope, it's not. The receiver isn't even long enough to house a long-recoil system.
    1
  20435. +Reid Templeton I did a previous video on a semi auto rebuild, but not a live fallout Madsen.
    1
  20436. +The 4th V Same model, but not the exact same gun.
    1
  20437. +Jerry Addington Pretty much all military LMGs did have associated magazine loading tools, so I am sure the Madsen did - although I have not seen one myself.
    1
  20438. +Bobby Krbachian No, the retaining spring snaps back into place and holds the rounds in.

    1
  20440. +fu21fu Yep, live rounds eject fine.
    1
  20441. The big preview at the top of the screen shows the latest videos in chronological order
    1
  20442. That is exactly the point, and why the Pedersen Device was never fielded. The war ended.
    1
  20443. Yes, C&Rsenal has an outstanding video on the Pedersen Device including firing.
    1
  20444. It's .30 caliber, and there are 40 rounds in the box.
    1
  20445. Not really; they have two in the September auction.
    1
  20446. Actually, the war ending in 1918 is part of the point. The Pedersen Device was manufactured and stockpiled with the intention of being the secret weapon that would allow Allied victory in a spring 1919 campaign. When the war ended in 1918, the devices all went into warehouses, and were destroyed as scrap in the early 1920s.

  20447. Mikesmilitaria.com
    1
  20448. They cut an ejection port hole in the side of the 1903 receiver. You can still find those converted rifles; they are the 1903 Mark I.
    1
  20449. No.
    1
  20450. Worked quite well, as far as I can tell.
    1
  20451. The MkI 1903s do have an ejection port cut in the sidewall of the receiver.
    1
  20452. http://www.mikesmilitaria.com
    1
  20453. No, it is really a PITA to remove. Look more closely at that closeup - you have to push the whole magazine linearly backwards before you can pivot it out.
    1
  20454. That is correct.
    1
  20455. Because the war ended in 1918, before they were ready for use.
    1
  20456. Yup, just simple blowback.
    1
  20457. Nobody would have wanted them.
    1
  20458. Not easy at all - I guess it doesn't come through in the video, but the locking system is quite secure.
    1
  20459. Yes.
    1
  20460. No, the poster is an optional add-on.
    1
  20461. Thanks!
    1
  20462. Sorry - if it helps, we can ship up to 6 copies for a single shipping charge. If you have one or two people you know who are interested, the shipping splits out nicely.
    1
  20463. We are shipping them every day; you should get your tracking information within the next week or so.
    1
  20464. Just one of many very interesting pistols in the book...wait until you see their take on the Mauser 1910... ;)
    1
  20465. The Kickstarter can ship worldwide!
    1
  20466. It uses a milled receiver, so the trunnion is integrated into the receiver, not a separate part.
    1
  20467. You're right - thanks for catching that! I added a note to the video.
    1
  20468. 1987HTR There is no safe way to carry it loaded and not cocked. You can theoretically open the lever, hold the trigger down, and slowly close the lever...or just dry fire it.
    1
  20469. No, because the owner was me. (I have sold it since doing the video, though)
    1
  20470. Probably left.
    1
  20471. No gas leakage here, because it used brass cartridges.
    1
  20472. Because I owned the Martini.
    1
  20473. That was the rear sling swivel.
    1
  20474. There are a lot of them around in .303 British.
    1
  20475. Yes, but the Ferguson was not issued in large numbers, or made an official standard weapon.
    1
  20476. Better lighting for the camera.
    1
  20477. For shooting, or anything else that requires full range of motion.
    1
  20478. All good things will come in time.
    1
  20479. Yeah, they said that's their most popular jacket feature.
    1
  20480. Thanks to their 1920 Firearms Act, there has not been much significant civilian handgun production in the UK for a century.
    1
  20481. In the book, it had a suppressor and the suppressor snagged on Bond's waistband.
    1
  20482. Unfortunately, there is no such simple fix. All the shipping companies have problems, and while I know you got screwed by UPS, we have plenty of first-hand examples of people getting screwed by FedEx, USPS and DHL too. I really am sorry you had that experience, and if it was something we had any control over we would absolutely fix it, but we can't.
    1
  20483. +Chris Dooley You can see it right now over at Full30.com, and it will post to YouTube Saturday morning.
    1
  20484. +eklypse13 It publishes on YouTube on Saturday morning.
    1
  20485. +SuperMutie Not yet, no. Hopefully I will know in a few days.
    1
  20486. That is basically how machine guns work.
    1
  20487. You do not need an FFL to own a machine gun.
    1
  20488. I wear ear protection with everything, including .22LR. Hearing damage is permanent and incremental, and I work with lots of older folks who are stone deaf today from lots of shooting without ear protection. I would much rather be paranoid about it today than deaf in 30 years.
    1
  20489. Security through obscurity is not an effective plan.
    1
  20490. Why? What's wrong with the parties you go to?
    1
  20491. International Military Antiques.
    1
  20492. We are working on that. :)
    1
  20493. Browning invented the pistol slide in roughly 1899.
    1
  20494. No.
    1
  20495. Educational podcasts.
    1
  20496. No, they are identical.
    1
  20497. No, the bolt is not cut for it. But they did make a full-auto capable bolt; I cover this in the video.
    1
  20498. Yup, like a Russian ammo depot.
    1
  20499. The handguard would have to melt before the ammo would cook off - that is definitely not an issue.
    1
  20500. No, because I normally use JP Capture springs. They don't work with blowback PCC bolts, though.
    1
  20501. It's a reproduction that I got from a collector friend.
    1
  20502. Our pleasure!
    1
  20503. I discuss this in the video.
    1
  20504. Vegetable slicing incident. Derp.
    1
  20505. Why would it need to be real to be in BF1?
    1
  20506. 10 rounds.
    1
  20507. That would be unlikely, as the predated this by many years.
    1
  20508. It was expensive because it is legal and registered. There are very few original PPS-43s registered in the US and available to unlicensed folks.
    1
  20509. Because in English we do not have a single letter for that sound.
    1
  20510. A Berthier converted to use Chauchat mags. They made a small number of these on both 07/15 long rifles and 1890 cavalry carbines. I will have a video on them eventually...
    1
  20511. The gas tube.
    1
  20512. AEA Arms :)
    1
  20513. Ziga from Polenar Tactical.
    1
  20514. Right now; AEA Arms has them.
    1
  20515. It is, available thought AEA Arms.
    1
  20516. It can be removed, but doesn't need regular cleaning.
    1
  20517. They are; AEA Arms sells them.
    1
  20518. They do already; AEA Arms has the guns.
    1
  20519. Patents last, typically, 17 years. The AR was developed in the 1950s. Nothing on the original ARs, or the M16, or even anything developed before 2000 is under patent protection today.
    1
  20520. Later.
    1
  20521. They are available right now from AEA Arms.
    1
  20522. AEA Arms is doing it already.
    1
  20523. Right now; AEA Arms has them.
    1
  20524. They do already, thought AEA Arms.
    1
  20525. Yes, the day after the match. It was a great trip!
    1
  20526. It has to be REALLY hot for that to happen.
    1
  20527. He did? oh. damn.
    1
  20528. I have no idea, I borrowed them from guys at the range that day.
    1
  20529. The camera does not accurately reproduce the sound of suppressed gunshots, so don't make any assumptions about the suppressor performance from this video.
    1
  20530. It's an old Stetson; not sure of the specific name.
    1
  20531. Good news - they are imported already by AEA Arms. Bad news - they are a bit over 2k.
    1
  20532. AEA Arms has them available in the US.
    1
  20533. Yes, with a total production of essentially zero.
    1
  20534. CuTThRoaTT G No, definitely not.
    1
  20535. No, because the fancy one worked fine without a magazine and had the same internals.
    1
  20536. Weight and portability, I expect.
    1
  20537. Separate video.
    1
  20538. To be honest, probably not.
    1
  20539. Aircraft armament.
    1
  20540. Yes, I plan to.
    1
  20541. It's canvas.
    1
  20542. I'm pretty sure you're just wrong.
    1
  20543. Everything shown in this video was semiauto, and the 1919 I built myself about a decade ago.
    1
  20544. "Battle rifle" is a term that was invented on the internet simply to have a specific cool sounding name for 7.62x51mm rifles.
    1
  20545. The KPV would be a heavy machine gun, IMO.
    1
  20546. Considering that it never worked and wasn't produced, I don't think there is a need to fit it into a category.
    1
  20547. Aircraft armament.
    1
  20548. I would say light machine gun, with handy magazine compatibility.
    1
  20549. Separate video subject.
    1
  20550. FIX YOUR CAPSLOCK
    1
  20551. It's a submachine gun with extra bits.
    1
  20552. Yes, future video. SMGs, PDWs, and machine pistols.
    1
  20553. You are probably thinking of John Basilone.
    1
  20554. Yes.
    1
  20555. Gun, Machine, Purpose General?
    1
  20556. Generally I record a bunch of videos when traveling and space out their publication. I do spend about 50% of my time traveling, though.
    1
  20557. Can you post the link to that video?
    1
  20558. Because it was invented in 1936?
    1
  20559. Yes.
    1
  20560. I post shooting videos about once per week.
    1
  20561. Like this one? Steyr 1912 Disassembly‎
    1
  20562. Yes, it is.
    1
  20563. Yes, it is.
    1
  20564. There is no such thing as a Class 3 license.
    1
  20565. A collection in the Netherlands.
    1
  20566. They are usually found with the 1920s and 30s updates. The only ones that are in 7.5mm are the M34s, which are quite distinctive once you know what to look for. I have a video on the M34 as well, which will show you all of it.

  20573. Pay no attention to that! XD
    1
  20574. I found it at a gun show many years ago.
    1
  20575. It was a prop made from a P38.

    1
  20577. Perhaps both!
    1
  20578. It's better when I am shooting left handed, since I am left handed.
    1
  20579. Our government has specifically prohibited importation of rifles made by Norinco.
    1
  20580. The only age-related legal standard is that guns 50 years old or older are considered "curio and relic", and traded a little bit differently.
    1
  20581. They are pinned to only hold 5.
    1
  20582. Yes, this was filmed in Canada.
    1

    1
  20584. Just use proper Glisenti ammo.
    1
  20585. No, the hammer is held right in its cocked position and doesn't have any room for movement when the hammer safety is engaged.
    1
  20586. Yes.
    1
  20587. Yes.
    1
  20588. No.
    1
  20589. And here it is!

    1
  20597. Last week. https://youtu.be/XhULi9jmdGI
    1
  20598. Nope.
    1
  20599. Zero percent.
    1
  20600. It's quarantine; every day is Hawaiian Shirt Day.
    1
  20601. I'd love to, perhaps if I have another chance to visit Beretta. IIRC, they have a couple in their museum.
    1
  20602. Too much shooting footage for the normal schedule! :)
    1
  20603. Yeah, I think they did, unfortunately.
    1
  20604. Scotti X
    1
  20605. For a military weapon, modularity is rarely important (IMO). There is a specific role for the gun; build it to fit that role.
    1
  20606. Pretty sure I have not.
    1
  20607. There is no suitable cartridge. It would need to be a straight-wall .30 pistol cartridge. The .30 Carbine is too powerful and the .32ACP is too large in diameter.
    1
  20608. YouTube comments are not a suitable place to seek legal advice.
    1
  20609. None, sorry.
    1
  20610. It's quite safe, being unloaded.
    1
  20611. It did not have one when I got it; probably spent time in California where the bayonet was removed for legal reasons. It's a handmade Vietnamese rifle, and a standard factory bayonet doesn't fit.
    1
  20612. Nothing I can do about it.
    1
  20613. I was not taking into account the gas-delved designs (CCP, P7, Steyr GB, etc)
    1
  20614. That's a handmade North Vietnamese SKS. :)
    1
  20615. B-Patrone. :)
    1
  20616. Probably not. The Jager is a simple blowback action, which is generally not advisable in 9x19, unless you add a lot of mass to the slide.
    1
  20617. Ljungman.
    1
  20618. Yes.
    1
  20619. They are .22 and .38 both pinfire rounds. You can see the full details at RIA using the links in the video description.
    1
  20620. That is an M48 BO, they were made for export without markings.
    1
  20621. Rebarrel it for another caliber? No way - that would destroy all the historical interest. Brass and bullets for the 8mm Lebel are easily available, so it's simple enough to just handload to hunt with it.
    1
  20622. I don't think so, but I haven't tried.
    1
  20623. 9mm Largo.
    1
  20624. I mix it up a bit depending on camera angles, but I am left handed so I shoot that way when I'm trying for decent accuracy.
    1
  20625. Yep, Novaks. I also beveled the bottom of the magwell, opened it up just a hair so magazines drop freely, and made a relief cut under the trigger guard to allow it to sit a bit lower in the hand.
    1
  20626. Exaggerated or not, ceiling fans are in serious jeopardy if you walk around with a bayonet on a Berthier. :)
    1
  20627. Nicholas Alexandrides I've handled or seen photos of about a dozen of the Turk conversions, and mine is the only one of then not "N" converted.
    1
  20628. Yup, it should have been converted - I have no explanation for why it wasn't.
    1
  20629. That's coming. :)
    1
  20630. No, completely unrelated.
    1
  20631. Yes.
    1
  20632. Well, it was early in the morning.
    1
  20633. We had a Strike One for a little while, and weren't really impressed by it. It has been returned to its owner, and I doubt we will get another. Sorry!
    1
  20634. Well, let's ask Cy and Lauren, shall we? https://youtu.be/4ZTwdK0tU0M?t=2762
    1
  20635. IMO, it shoots very well and I really like it.
    1
  20636. I have not, because their terms are less than totally clear and they charge the exact same fee structure that Patreon does.
    1
  20637. Yes, we have showing footage over on InRangeTV.
    1
  20638. I did not intend to suggest that Maxim discovered the thermal capacity of water; just that he applied it to his gun.
    1
  20639. No.
    1
  20640. Dan Morgan I don't think I would want to lighten it...
    1
  20641. chrisloUSA FYI, Chris, we are doing an FG42/BAT matchup today at this month's 2-Gun match. Video should be posted tomorrow. :)
    1
  20642. IMO, the iron sights on the FG42 are quite good. Not quite as good as the M1's, but better than most other WWII rifles.
    1
  20643. He said it didn't cause any issues, and he really never noticed it being there (which is a good thing).
    1
  20644. Yep.
    1
  20645. CrazyBlackDragon Yup.
    1
  20646. This is a new reproduction, and it is made in both 8mm and .308 - this particular example was in .308. The scope is also a reproduction, not an original ZF4.
    1
  20647. An StG-44 is one rifle I would really like to have a chance to run in one of these matches. Unfortunately, being full auto makes it much more difficult to organize, since the rifle's owner would have to be present at the match with me.
    1
  20648. don't know if I'll have the chance to try it, but given the choice I would take an M1 over a Johnson.
    1
  20649. Still too slow - I need to practice more.
    1
  20650. Reproduction FG-42 by SMG Guns
    1
  20651. Our conclusion was that in practical terms, there was no significant difference between the P38 and 1911. They were both reliable, accurate enough, and presented no particular problems.
    1
  20652. Yep, that is one of its really strong points.
    1
  20653. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/headstamp/pistols-of-the-warlords/
    1
  20654. If you want to see the swastika, go watch on Full30.com .
    1
  20655. No, but Volume 1 (which covers pistols) does
    1
  20656. Yes, they are.
    1
  20657. I know what it means, I just can't pronounce it. :)
    1
  20658. I already did; try the search bar.
    1
  20659. First I need to actually receiver it (NFA transfer times...), and then I need to secure a source of ammunition. So it will be at least several more months.
    1
  20660. Unfortunately I cannot, because I do not have access to a MAT-49 at the moment.
    1
  20661. Nope.
    1
  20662. +Adoring Fan Arizona is best.
    1
  20663. +Sam Rudicel (Tags) No problem, it just struck me as funny. :) I do have a few items from my collection in the next Q&A video, which will be published next week.
    1
  20664. +Sam Rudicel (Tags) +1 point for ironic misspelling.
    1
  20665. +Uryendel The letter is a series prefix. They would make guns 1-99,999 and then the next gun would be A1, then A2, A3...A99,999, then B1, and so on.
    1
  20666. +SeanPwnery Not spares, no - just the hammer.
    1
  20667. +SeanPwnery Then I would be dealing with two non-fitting parts instead of just one.
    1
  20668. +Andrew Suryali No, the replacement hammer doesn't work in either my 1873 or 1874.
    1
  20669. +Brigand231's Videos Thanks!
    1
  20670. +Mauser Pauser No, I am not a gunsmith.
    1
  20671. +VicariousReality7 You are welcome to be unimpressed, but I (for one) definitely don't want to get shot with that cartridge.
    1
  20672. +Carrier Taiyo I plan to.
    1
  20673. Yes, I have.
    1
  20674. +RogerWilco Making a part with modern machine tools is a lot more involved that simply "CNCing" something.
    1
  20675. +grh angelone That's what I am going to do, as I say at the end of the video.
    1
  20676. I post a new video every day...
    1
  20677. The US never adopted the Madsen. The 1909 was America's first LMG.
    1
  20678. Later, when I have more time available to properly prep for the video. I didn't expect to be filming this one on this trip.
    1
  20679. It's coming.
    1
  20680. About 10 years ago, yes. I have much more information now.
    1
  20681. Greece got a bunch of Berthiers as military aid from France, and it sounds like you have one of them.
    1
  20682. Yep, that's not uncommon for a refurbish Mle 16 carbine.
    1
  20683. https://youtu.be/0_Iapo5GXVc
    1
  20684. I will, but scheduling didn't work out for me to be able to sign them for the release. They should be available for Christmas, though.
    1
  20685. Yes, but not successfully.
    1
  20686. Concrete and wood, basically.
    1
  20687. https://amzn.to/2Xwzc0N
    1
  20688. It really is.
    1
  20689. What about it?
    1
  20690. Some importers in the US did; the French did not.
    1
  20691. https://shop.bbtv.com/collections/forgotten-weapons :)
    1
  20692. Sounds like a rifle that Century imported, added a manual safety to, and rechambered for .308 Winchester.
    1
  20693. It is coming - I have one myself. In the leadup to my book coming out I will cover the semiauto MAS rifles (44, 49 French, 49 Syrian, 49/56, and 49/56 MSE).
    1
  20694. Even the .280 was not really an intermediate cartridge along the lines of the 8x33 and 7.62x39.
    1
  20695. Yes, it is.
    1
  20696. https://youtu.be/3BtY5N41q_E
    1
  20697. Welcome!
    1
  20698. Good question! https://youtu.be/mf7MezhQ6pw
    1
  20699. 11mm Gras used a plain lead flat nosed bullet.
    1
  20700. They are not demonetized.
    1
  20701. Because most people don't find logistics fun and exciting.
    1
  20702. Can you send me an email ad admin@forgottenweapons.com so I have your contact info?
    1
  20703. Not a lot, but periodically.
    1
  20704. The Chassepot is at the top, out of camera frame in this video.
    1
  20705. No, I do not plan to do any testing.
    1
  20706. That is InRangeTV.
    1
  20707. https://shop.bbtv.com/collections/forgotten-weapons/products/forgotten-weapons-texture-t-shirt
    1
  20708. The cadet rifle is not semi auto, it is manually operated.
    1
  20709. Assuming the gun is mechanically intact, Prvi Partisan will be your best option.
    1
  20710. No, not usually.
    1
  20711. They did.
    1
  20712. I think they wanted guys to clean with a pull-through, because the rod will damage the bore if not used properly.
    1
  20713. No, it's not that early. :(
    1
  20714. 1890 Gendarmerie Berthier bayonets are rare, that's what I was referring to.
    1
  20715. Does that author speak English by any chance?
    1
  20716. Yep.
    1
  20717. The Mauser is a Transvaal Boer carbine... ;)
    1
  20718. There's a link in the bottom of the video description.
    1
  20719. Only the tiniest bit. :)
    1
  20720. Maxim-Tokarev
    1
  20721. https://youtu.be/Jowv167KdbM
    1
  20722. The man knows what he I talking about.
    1
  20723. Just coincidence.
    1
  20724. Yes, it is.
    1
  20725. Aside from a failed Swedish experiment, there never was a belt-fed BAR until FN designed the MAG.
    1
  20726. Ad-free videos are available through Patreon, Utreon, and Floatplane...
    1
  20727. Not just any Chartreuse; VEP.
    1
  20728. We will. Nic is an Aussie himself. :)
    1
  20729. If we can justify the cost, yes.
    1
  20730. Nice!
    1
  20731. Yup, definitely.
    1
  20732. Thanks!
    1
  20733. It'll see dirt where I plan to take it...
    1
  20734. Jeez, and I thought I was sadistic...
    1
  20735. Croatian, from SparTac
    1
  20736. Not that I am aware of.
    1
  20737. Probably not.
    1
  20738. https://youtu.be/OT5ZTHD-Dc0
    1
  20739. It's in 8mm, as a proper FG42 ought to be. :)
    1
  20740. It's a flare pistol.
    1
  20741. Ironically, this was filmed in France.
    1
  20742. Minute Man I think the video makes it look like he is cranking steadily when he actually isn't.
    1
  20743. Omnihil777 It uses an early type of magazine - basically a block of 25 chambers that drop in behind the barrels when the action is open. The gun crew has several, and while one is being used the others can be emptied and reloaded.
    1
  20744. RebelFlag61 Metaphorically, you could say that's exactly what it is.
    1
  20745. No, it wasn't.
    1
  20746. They are exempted.
    1
  20747. A spring loaded feed lip, basically. You also see this on the Steyr Hahn and Roth Steyr pistols
    1
  20748. You bet!
    1
  20749. https://youtu.be/EPy_BdEDtzk
    1
  20750. It's called text messages. :)
    1
  20751. Yup.
    1
  20752. Fun?
    1
  20753. +piritskenyer Yes they did, and yes it was. The M1919A6 bipod is the same way.
    1
  20754. Bonnie didn't shoot a stock BAR - hers had the barrel and stock cut down - and didn't have the bipod, of course.
    1
  20755. +jon bush Yes.
    1
  20756. No. It runs just fine left handed.
    1
  20757. If it were my money, I would not spend it on an M1A. The M1 was the gold standard in its day, but the M1A failed to improve on it in a meaningful way. Check out these two videos Karl and I did more recently: https://www.full30.com/video/6618755f336970e55e6c50c1fe894ff8 https://www.full30.com/video/9eef6b3a4eb6c8846a4c8dc4b8968bc4
    1
  20758. +bug splat The M14 is terrible in mud like this (and was in no way derived or inspired by the FG-42, nor was the FAL).
    1
  20759. Yes.
    1
  20760. They both have pros and cons, but I would take the M1, largely because of its better sights.
    1
  20761. Modified M1A mags.
    1
  20762. +Dan Phariss The Johnson LMG was quite popular, and weighed 13 pounds. There's more to the equation than just weight.
    1
  20763. Yep, you did.
    1
  20764. +thepunisher236169 Yes.
    1
  20765. I'm not sure - could have been ammo, could have been me dragging my thumb on the slide, could have been something else related to the gun being made in 1945.
    1
  20766. Yup: OSS "Bigot" 1911 dart-firing pistol
    1
  20767. Not very far. The original ones had a listed effective range of 15 yards or less.
    1
  20768. It changed the point of impact significantly.
    1
  20769. They used the Trapdoor Springfield (and the Spencer, briefly). Those are not better than the Winchester lever actions.
    1
  20770. Yes, I already did.
    1
  20771. https://youtu.be/KyNvL-KP_IU
    1
  20772. +Peter Nissen They are aware of the problem and working on it...
    1
  20773. Yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Brown%27s_raid_on_Harpers_Ferry
    1
  20774. ***** We will find out in just a couple days...
    1
  20775. You won't likely find any stocking dealers in FNC parts. Your best bet is probably to keep an eye on auction sites like GunBroker.
    1
  20776. Yes, there are semiauto FNCs available. They're going for $2000-$3000 right now.
    1
  20777. This is an H&K demo gun, and H&K specifically told me that slapping the handle down is correct and appropriate.
    1
  20778. It's coming ;)
    1
  20779. They are.
    1
  20780. Varusteleka tactical jeans
    1
  20781. You clearly misspelled Calico.
    1
  20782. Sorry - I think it accidentally posted a couple weeks ago for Patrons.
    1
  20783. If you would prefer not to see them, you can join Patreon for $1/month and have all ad-free videos.
    1
  20784. No, absolutely not.
    1
  20785. Sorry, but no - US only.
    1
  20786. No, totally different actually.
    1
  20787. Yes, they were designed by the same person: John Browning.
    1
  20788. That's a reproduction StG-45(M) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEPwmYcCPFs
    1
  20789. They all have disconnectors.
    1
  20790. Yes the 1905 Colt/Browning was the first .45ACP pistol.
    1
  20791. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiVyT3TqS2c
    1
  20792. powaybob45 Nope, I haven't handled one yet.
    1
  20793. The unit only existed here for 4 years, 1940-1944. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramarines
    1
  20794. +Karpaneen I have not, because I'm very careful about what and how I disassemble things that are not mine. If you see me disassemble it on camera, I have already done it off-camera to ensure I have the proper process down, and I can practice without having to make it look smooth for video. If something is fragile or dubious, I simply don't go any farther.
    1
  20795. +Alistairm Kerr No, the rifle used stripper clips only, with a standard M1903 pattern web belt.
    1
  20796. +Flemme Werfer It's British Navy issue.
    1
  20797. +slowpokebr549 Tough to say, having not been able to fire a Johnson.
    1
  20798. +nomad8723 They are dummy rounds.
    1
  20799. +b. griffin Yes, dealer sample guns are not fully transferrable. I bring this up because at auction houses I am usually filming transferrable guns, and it is relevant for the seller that I point out that they can be owned by anyone.
    1
  20800. https://blog.delib.net/boaty-mcboatface-and-the-perils-or-otherwise-of-public-participation/
    1
  20801. A viewer gave that to me; said he got it at a museum in Beijing.
    1
  20802. There are two valves at the front of the jacket. One is a simple drain pug for emptying water, and the other is an mounting point for a condenser hose to allow you to redirect venting steam into a can partially full of liquid water. This will cause the steam to condense back into liquid rather than form a nice visible plume in the air to show the enemy where the gun is located.
    1
  20803. You drain the water when not in use. Today, most water-cooled shooters use an antifreeze solution instead of plain water, which reduces the risk of rusting.
    1
  20804. Open
    1
  20805. +Tomas Heavy, but I didn't measure it.
    1
  20806. +KarlBunker There was a period around the 1880s when there were a fair number of manual repeating pistols along these lines...
    1
  20807. +PierreDolphin Correct. The barrel is spring loaded and trying to go forward, so you have to exert your fingers to pull it all the way back and release the firing pin. You couldn't conceivably to that and also relax your hand before the bullet was long gone.
    1
  20808. +PierreDolphin You couldn't, so it's a non-issue.
    1
  20809. +VampireShogun I have another 2-finger-trigger piece publishing in two days... :)
    1
  20810. +Jeff Ward I don't think it has a mechanical locking system, although it is possible that I missed something inside the frame. However, I don't think it would be uncomfortable to shoot. The force acting on your hand would be the difference between a semiauto and a single shot handgun in the same caliber, basically - not very much, especially for the quite small cartridge this piece uses.
    1
  20811. +Minor Bob I would call it a manual repeating pistol.
    1
  20812. Funny you should ask...https://youtu.be/1wqlrr9d6TU
    1
  20813. Spring steel links.
    1
  20814. No.
    1
  20815. Nope, I haven't done a video on the LeMat (yet...)
    1
  20816. Probably about 3 weeks.
    1
  20817. I have one filmed; not sure when it will post yet.
    1
  20818. No, they did not.
    1
  20819. Thanks!
    1
  20820. Thanks!
    1
  20821. No, I am not aware of one.
    1
  20822. Coming!
    1
  20823. You cannot see targets beyond about 200 without magnification, unless the targets are giant static bullseyes.
    1
  20824. That concept works, but not nearly as well as being able to actually see through the optic.
    1
  20825. Yes, there is a spring loaded detent.
    1
  20826. I don't have the gun yet...
    1
  20827. The Elcan has all the problems of a variable power optic, plus a mount that doesn't hold zero well.
    1
  20828. I'm not on Bitchute, but you will find me on Utreon very soon.
    1
  20829. It's on the list; I just haven't gotten to it yet.
    1
  20830. Yup, the Frommer pistols gradually got more like other designs, as it became clear which features worked and which ones didn't.
    1
  20831. I did. Not a big fan, but not because of the smoke. It just seemed much too young and rough.
    1
  20832. Lamb, foal, and lots of seafood. All the food not deliberately made to be gross was delicious.
    1
  20833. I’ve had Rocky Mountain Oysters. They don’t taste bad; they’re only considered challenging food because of the notion of eating testicles.
    1
  20834. That would be fun - can you email me at admin@forgottenweapons.com?
    1
  20835. I did get a bottle of the dung-smoked to try. It wasn’t very good, but the smoking wasn’t the issue. It was just too young and rough.
    1
  20836. Yep.
    1
  20837. The á is pronounced "au", and doubled consonants do weird things in Icelandic: https://youtu.be/ivLPqkEaKOI
    1
  20838. Deal.
    1
  20839. There was nothing he could have bought that would fit those two scopes interchangeably.
    1
  20840. Basically because it's great for static competition shooting and terrible for field use.
    1
  20841. The US didn't have a scoped M1 in 1944.
    1
  20842. Because then part of plot wouldn't happen.
    1
  20843. They were all right-handed rifles. The US military did not have any left-handed rifles.
    1
  20844. Of course.
    1
  20845. We pick a winner within a couple days, and then announce them about a week after the last day (takes some time to get in touch, get an FFL, etc and confirm they are eligible). I post the winners on Instagram once they are confirmed.
    1
  20846. Maybe, but it still wouldn't fit on the rifle.
    1
  20847. No, you can't.
    1
  20848. Select fire means the option of semiauto or fully automatic.
    1
  20849. Intermediate cartridge, detachable magazine, select fire.
    1
  20850. If I could remove the Hughes Amendment right now with the stroke of a pen, I would do so without hesitation.
    1
  20851. Not a typo; that's how they spelled it at the time.
    1
  20852. Sure, the majority of 9mm submachine guns are simple blowback mechanisms firing supersonic projectiles.
    1
  20853. Kiraly 43M
    1
  20854. Danuvia 43M
    1
  20855. No. It's a unique part used by Colt Canada, not the standard castle nut.
    1
  20856. FN did the same thing, happily selling pistols to Allied soldiers after the war.
    1
  20857. Yeah, just a scheduling goof last week. Oops!
    1
  20858. I misspoke in the video; the shooting here was all done at 200 yards.
    1
  20859. 200 yards...
    1
  20860. Sorry.

    1
  20863. It really doesn't make any difference. It doesn't interfere with the SUSAT sight picture.
    1
  20864. Because it is.
    1
  20865. No, it is not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_relief
    1
  20866. Placement of the scope on the rifle is adjustable, eye relief is not. Eye relief is the distance from the scope to the eye.
    1
  20867. Moving the scope around does not change its eye relief.
    1
  20868. The Colt Boa.
    1
  20869. Yes.
    1
  20870. It is smoothbore.
    1
  20871. It will post on Christmas. :)
    1
  20872. Yes, and you can still heroically buy Chiquita bananas to this day.
    1
  20873. Yes it did; it's right here: https://forgottenweapons.vhx.tv/videos/patchett-mki
    1
  20874. Apex has them - there is a link in my blog post.
    1
  20875. The new rules specifically exempt games and movies.
    1
  20876. Could you please email me at admin@forgottenweapons.com with a description of the issue?
    1
  20877. Yes, I will.
    1
  20878. Nope, only right handed. They made some lefty prototypes, but they never went into production.
    1
  20879. I would say in a nutshell, the advantages they appeared to offer have not turned out to justify the tradeoffs that were not anticipated.
    1
  20880. Rimlock, not rimrock.
    1
  20881. Semiauto pistols had to drop the mag when grounding the gun, so I opened the cylinder.
    1
  20882. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-merino-wool-hoodie/30651?country=US
    1
  20883. Everyone who timed out had the same time - 180 sec. So there were 25 people who timed out at some point between the last rifle shot and the first of the second set of pistol shots.
    1
  20884. Stages 1 was 50yd rifle and about 20yd pistol. Stage 2 was 50yd rifle and 15yd pistol. Stage 3 had large targets at ~185yd, and small ones at something like 50, 80, and 120 from the starting position. Stage 4, the longest target was about 20 yd.
    1
  20885. Rules for that stage require that all shots be fired with the non-dominant shoulder touching the ground.
    1
  20886. My pleasure!
    1
  20887. No, that was normal ammo.
    1
  20888. The Army has a long tradition of giving the smallest guy the biggest gun.
    1
  20889. No.
    1
  20890. Yes - but there is a difference between individual soldiers using pick-up guns and armies collecting, sorting, and deliberately issuing foreign captured arms.
    1
  20891. I think there would be better options than toggle.
    1
  20892. "Supplemented" is a nice way of saying "abandoning them as fast as we can afford" :)
    1
  20893. Je practique souvent.
    1
  20894. I am sure the steel could be improved if someone was making new magazines.
    1
  20895. It is a MAS-223.
    1
  20896. It includes magnificent pictures.
    1
  20897. I ran a 2-day match with the F1-pattern iron sights. You can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=411Y8wQN7wY&list=PLj9u4Ts2NpEsdFwASqEYmTziZ3UFJzM_8
    1
  20898. You copy of Swords will ship with Basilisk.
    1
  20899. I do not own a BAR.
    1
  20900. I have seen that, and I don't think that is the issue here.
    1
  20901. No idea, sorry
    1
  20902. Yeah, "camel rifle" is a completely made-up name.
    1
  20903. +Nick Durso Correct, it does not require an FFL.
    1
  20904. They did: BESAL: Britain's Emergency Simplified Light Machine Gun https://youtu.be/pXz2g8F-Ccs
    1
  20905. PPS-43, no question.
    1
  20906. 😆🥸

    1
  20908. I did my filming about a month before the auction, and wasn't there during the actual event. I don't know how many different buyers there were, but expect that very few people bought more than a couple items each.
    1
  20909. No, it;'s where rocks were invented.
    1
  20910. Colt 1903s and Remington 51s always show class...
    1
  20911. +Michael Krause They are not NFA items.
    1
  20912. No, but we have Polish friends.
    1
  20913. That camera is in Poland, and I'm in the US.
    1
  20914. Because they were built for .308.
    1
  20915. Yes. :)
    1
  20916. Yes, he did.
    1
  20917. I will.
    1
  20918. Nope.
    1
  20919. Mitrailleuse - I do have a short video of one firing.
    1
  20920. claus christensen Yup, it's an Edgertronic.
    1
  20921. m1994a3jagnew Probably a Type 100.
    1
  20922. An Edgertronic.
    1
  20923. Yes, we will be covering it.
    1
  20924. +tuledude89 I think someone has tried to take the gun apart, and that's why the bolt damage doesn't line up with any of the holes in the receiver.
    1
  20925. +John Smith Nope
    1
  20926. +cr0cket01 No, actually that is what a bullet entrance hole looks like.
    1
  20927. +Daniel Crawshaw Yes, a dewat.
    1
  20928. Presumably the ammunition Hill designed it around is slightly shorter in overall length than my dummy rounds.
    1
  20929. Yes, Shansei Arsenal. I will cover those at some point...
    1
  20930. Yes, but not the long cartridge version.
    1
  20931. They will start in June, and be released over 6-8 months.
    1
  20932. It means if I buy something I can do a better video at home, when I have more time to do it.
    1
  20933. Why are there gas rings on the AR bolt but not on this system?
    1
  20934. I am not aware of any in production today.
    1
  20935. I talk about it at the end, since it's pretty recent.

    1
  20942. I stuck to just cartridge called 9mm for the video.
    1
  20943. Such a fascinating story that I already did a whole video on it: https://youtu.be/P2jU5cp4WCg :)

  20951. "Grain" is a unit of weight (7000 grains equal one pound). The weight used to describe a cartridge is virtually always the weight of the bullet (in 9x19, the standard weights are 115, 124, 147, and 150 grains).

    1
  20959. https://youtu.be/5Jh7OmBaHJg
    1
  20960. Thanks!
    1
  20961. Yes, it is.
    1
  20962. No, the M60 tanks used the M73 and M85 machine guns - both of which were basically failures.
    1
  20963. Sorry - those are no longer under my control, and Karl at InRange has hidden them out of pettiness.
    1
  20964. It was developed in 43, but it saw no significant combat use in the war.
    1
  20965. I did not consider that to be a WW2 cartridge.
    1
  20966. The .303 is better than 8mm Lebel, but that's about all is has going for it.
    1
  20967. https://youtu.be/sZ9IACssv2Y
    1
  20968. No, .276 Pedersen. https://youtu.be/AwntZVIoPpI
    1
  20969. The first one posts on Friday, and after that they will be spread over 6-8 months.
    1
  20970. This is worse.
    1
  20971. Yes, search for Mag 7...
    1
  20972. Can you show me an example, ever, of a hangfire in new-production American shotgun ammunition?
    1
  20973. Yes, it could be.
    1
  20974. Yes, it would.
    1
  20975. I made some inquiries; unfortunately they are not accepting new creators.
    1
  20976. Ce képi était un cadeau du musée de la légion étrangère.
    1
  20977. It will be open to $3 and up
    1
  20978. There will be a Kickstarter once it's ready.
    1
  20979. Yes!
    1
  20980. That was a French Mle 1887. :)
    1
  20981. We assume it's because they were mixed up by GIs.
    1
  20982. Not until it gets a whole lot hotter.
    1
  20983. You are paying for the legal registration status.
    1
  20984. Transferrable AKs are much scarcer than StGs in the US.
    1
  20985. The MP43, MP44, and StG44 are all essentially the same gun with different names.
    1
  20986. Thanks!
    1
  20987. The Sturmgewehr was designated the MP43/1, MP43, MP44, and StG44 at various times. Always the same gun, though.
    1
  20988. Tradition.
    1
  20989. No, they are two names for the same gun.
    1
  20990. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/ak-and-stg-kissing-cousins/
    1
  20991. Actually, the AK sold for substantially more.
    1
  20992. No, it's a Winchester ad poster, but no connection to Annie Oakley.
    1
  20993. Nope, haven't had the chance to play with one yet. :(
    1
  20994. Utter nonsense.
    1
  20995. What they kept in place of the Bren was the Vickers-Berthier, which is very different from the Vickers heavy MG.
    1
  20996. They might have some of this sort of thing in Oberndorf, but not in Virginia.
    1
  20997. No, because you use the nose of the grenade as the front sight.
    1
  20998. Yes, for free. Google it.
    1
  20999. He died of cancer.
    1
  21000. The museum is owned by the government.
    1
  21001. He is dead.
    1
  21002. No.
    1
  21003. Yes.
    1
  21004. It is available as a download.
    1
  21005. You can download the PDF for free.
    1
  21006. No - this one has an A1 handguard. The correct A2 handguard is shorter, and has no bipod cuts (the A2 bipod is shorter and mounted farther forward, and doesn't hit the handguard).
    1
  21007. I don't know where it came from - it was on the gun when the follow who loaned it to me got it.
    1
  21008. +TheSuburban15 No, but you must control the muzzle and keep your finger off the trigger while moving.
    1
  21009. +David Paddison This was at PRGC.
    1
  21010. +Diktator Alexander Yup.
    1
  21011. +TheJustin574 Yes, they are public.
    1
  21012. +Daniel Taylor No, that would be Cobray.
    1
  21013. +defconjuan1 Jesus carried a KelTec shotgun...
    1
  21014. Lol...you're far too late for that to be a surprise.
    1
  21015. To clarify, the guns were purchased from a dealer in Hamburg, but shipped from Kiel into the Baltic. Why they did not take a shorter route into the North Sea I don't know.

  21016. To clarify, the guns were purchased from a dealer in Hamburg, but shipped from Kiel into the Baltic. Why they did not take a shorter route into the North Sea I don't know.
    1
  21017. No. It's won't line up properly 99% of the time.
    1
  21018. Because the clips are old and worn out.
    1
  21019. 8mm Lebel
    1
  21020. 8mm Lebel
    1
  21021. Yes, powder flakes (and raindrops).
    1
  21022. I don't, but I am in the credits for it.
    1
  21023. No, I don't think so.
    1
  21024. No, it's hammer fired.
    1
  21025. They did do that. They just can't resell the F/A original lowers to the civilian market.
    1
  21026. https://www.forgottenweapons.com/warsaw-uprising-bergmann-191021/
    1
  21027. Hand pump, like a bicycle pump today.
    1
  21028. Yes, but is can also be loaded for right on top.
    1
  21029. Correct, but if you modified it to closed-bolt firing it would be legal to build as a pistol or SBR.
    1
  21030. I have not found good info on how many people converted them to full auto and what the repercussions were for doing so.
    1
  21031. Make it fire from a closed bolt and its perfectly legal to make at home in the US as long as you aren't prohibited from owning guns.
    1
  21032. No.
    1
  21033. Yes.
    1
  21034. No, none.
    1
  21035. It was so the bayonet didn't interfere with the cleaning rod under the barrel.
    1
  21036. Not, it is not.
    1
  21037. Yes, it is.
    1
  21038. DodgeDeora25 Interesting - that does have the same basic action. Thanks for pointing it out!
    1
  21039. +povmcdov It's the screw holing the mainspring to the frame, inside the grips.
    1
  21040. No, they were all semiauto only.
    1
  21041. It's at the end of the video, unless you are on mobile where YouTube doesn't show them.
    1
  21042. The one significant contract for the stocked version was for Russian gendarmes.
    1
  21043. Excellent!
    1
  21044. It functions fine upside down. The case is held by the clip's feed lips until the bullet has started into the chamber, so it's always controlled at one end or the other and has no opportunity to fall out.
    1
  21045. None of the parts on that rifle were taken from factory-produced guns.
    1
  21046. Yes, horribly.
    1
  21047. 7mm Mauser.
    1
  21048. There was not an M27 in this auction that I was aware of...
    1
  21049. Not that I am aware of.
    1
  21050. Sure: https://youtu.be/MxdGExIJntI
    1
  21051. Percussion - they abandoned the Maynard primers.
    1
  21052. http://amzn.to/2pVok8e
    1
  21053. Yep.
    1
  21054. I forgot to turn on power to the mic on the first two stages. I did have the GoPro running on stage 2, so I was able to use its audio track there, but stage 1 had no secondary coverage.
    1
  21055. They're just M14 clips, not actual Remington ones.
    1
  21056. Lee Mauser No others that I'm aware of, unfortunately.
    1
  21057. It's at the Pima Pistol Club north of Tucson, on the third Saturday of every month.
    1
  21058. No, .300 Savage.
    1
  21059. https://beckettsstore.com/products/byreman-chunky-knit-shawl-collar-sweater-with-harris-tweed-patches-1
    1
  21060. Unfortunately, no.
    1
  21061. So if it doesn't go into the mount, where does it go?
    1
  21062. Yes.
    1
  21063. It's easy (ish) to fire from the hip when you are firing blanks.
    1
  21064. Lots of other videos out there where you can just see them fire.
    1
  21065. It's an aircraft gun; in real-world use it gets loaded before you take off and reloaded when you land.
    1
  21066. A battery is much easier to carry alongside the gun than a compressed air tank or a small river.
    1
  21067. Those are blanks.
    1
  21068. It is "mini", because the original gun was 20mm.
    1
  21069. It's an aircraft gun. By the time you land to reload, it has cooled down completely.
    1
  21070. It is the miniature version of the 20mm aircraft rotary cannon.
    1
  21071. That was firing blanks, not live ammunition.
    1
  21072. This fires at about 3000 rpm using six barrels, which means each individual barrel is firing at 500 rpm (which is actually on the low end of typical machine gun rates of fire). So it heats up just a tad slower than a typical machine gun in terms of time spent firing. The feeder and barrels are connected by gears, so the motor turns both.
    1
  21073. "Galoot"? I snubbeth my nose at thee, sir.
    1
  21074. Sure, firing blanks.
    1
  21075. Patreon.com/forgottenweapons
    1
  21076. It's intended to be an aircraft weapon. That role calls for briefs bursts of fire that put as many projectiles downrange as possible. It's not meant to be reloaded in midair.
    1
  21077. It's absorbed by the fixed mounting pedestal.
    1
  21078. Sure, with blanks and a cord to a car battery.
    1
  21079. Easily reloadable.
    1
  21080. Thanks!
    1
  21081. Yes.
    1
  21082. Not that I am aware of.
    1
  21083. The shooter feels none - the tripod here is bolted to a trailer, and absorbs it all very effectively.
    1
  21084. No, I am not.
    1
  21085. No.
    1
  21086. Yes, electrically powered minions are legally considered machine guns.
    1
  21087. The cam does the locking.
    1
  21088. I have no idea where you heard me say "Derek"...
    1
  21089. They all have a last round hold-open.
    1
  21090. The Swiss adopted the new, updated versions and did some refinement on their own as well.
    1
  21091. No.
    1
  21092. Haven't gotten to the 37 yet...I do have a video on the 21 though.
    1
  21093. Interesting - I have not come across one of those...
    1
  21094. Yep, they sold a few months ago. Brought about $25k.
    1
  21095. No, I will not be. Sorry!

  21096. You betcha! :)

  21097. The first bullets sit at the position of the lock, so that they have some barrel to accelerate in.

  21098. Rijksmuseum, apparently. Have not directly confirmed it myself.

  21099. Sorry, I filmed this last month.

  21100. What would you call it, in no more than 3 words that will most accurate convey its effect?
    1
  21101. The Rijksmuseum, apparently.
    1
  21102. Yes.

  21103. Hard to say - I don't know enough about vintage American revolvers to be able to identify it exactly.
    1
  21104. The bore is .45 caliber, but I don't know what cartridge it was chambered for.
    1
  21105. Bore diameter is .45, but nobody has done a chamber cast to see which cartridge.

  21106. That link at the top of the description goes to the auction - you can place a sealed bid on it right now!

  21107. Prior to the 1968 Gun Control Act, things were different - and we know this predates 1968.

  21108. It was pretty clunky.
    1
  21109. Nope. US revolver are not one of my strong areas, and I don't know enough to ID the grip or trigger.
    1
  21110. Not yet, but eventually I will.
    1
  21111. The bore is .45 inch, and the 1958 GSA catalog claims .45 ACP, but I wouldn't be 100% sure of that.

  21117. The holster is right-handed, so yes.
    1
  21118. I'm wearing it with the insignia on the left so it doesn't interfere with my left-handed sight picture.
    1
  21119. I'm left-handed; the beret is there so it doesn't impede my sight picture.

  21121. Yes.
