  1.  @amartolo8782  handguns in the military aren't used in that fashion. You rarely get into speed loading handgun fights. They tend to be holstered a lot more than fired. With maybe one or two spare mags.

  2. ​ @alexcarbery8189 Uh, Wake Island preceded the fall of Corregidor. And they were Marine units still in China with the 4th Marines at the beginning of the war that had to surrender.

  3. And today, a very rare collectible .22LR. You don't see them for sale very often.

  4. He has a valid concern. You have a already overtaxed Logistics chain being burdened with a non-standard caliber. You are also revamping infantry tactics of the last 50 years at the same time.

  5.  @beargillium2369  it seems to be a running joke in the gun community. It had to start someplace?

  6. Hebrew is read backwards? Fun fact I never knew.

  7. Speaking of failed pistols, have you reviewed the Browning BDM?👨🏽‍💻

  8.  @donovanchilton5817  Debatable. And "Non violent" is a broad crime brush value judgment.

  9. However keeping it with that mindset of long-range Firepower led to them keeping single shot trapdoor Springfields long into the repeating era.

  10. LOOK for the Movie "Rough Riders (1997)." At about 2 hours, you can see it in action.

  11.  @scinto23  Springfield has two types of stock. Straight stocks are traditional for centuries.

  12. Sorry, but no family relations at all....

  13.  Lassi Kinnunen  To your last point, technology moved faster than tactics. In the lifetime of many of these guys, the rules changed. When Eisenhower graduated in the West Point class of 1915, the text books were based the Civil War.

  14. At least you can drink the water on US Army bases.🙄🥤

  15. Did Fabrique Nationale or Mister Browning ever file any sort of legal challenges involving the production of unlicensed copies?

  16. 🙋🏽‍♂️ditto

  17.  @neoasura  CCW and war are not the same.

  18.  @briansmithwins  But the French are buying guns from every place. There is nothing to say this a Tank Corps only weapon.

  19. JMB is in the same league of extraordinary names like Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Alexander Bell, etc. Yet, is the least known or understood.

  20. Mr. Saivé really deserves more props than he does. He sort of gets lost a little bit in the great firearms designer mix.

  21.  @jic1  That doesn't mean they have to stay in Hartford though. Smith & Wesson finally wised up and is leaving Massachusetts.

  22.  @shawnr771  The stories were just that. Stories.....

  23.  DH  A lighter weapon is always desirable.

  24.  @ivareskesner2019  it's interesting you put it that way. I was just on another Channel looking at the sales pitch given to Russian prisoners to join the Wagner group in the fight for Ukraine.https://youtu.be/W2Okpg9KkgA

  25. Does everything in this world have to be tacticool?

  26. ​ @z0phi3l  You should say, CZ-USA. They run Colt now.

  27.  @M4V3R1CK_13  actually in this case it would be. First of all Browning's design prototype has nothing to do with the final gun. Second, Browning died in 1926. He contributed basically his name and the tilting barrel lock. That's about it.

  28. Barney Fife going tactical... 😏

  29. Not really. The war was not won or lost on rifle fire.

  30. 😂

  31. Very Interesting weapon. Always kind of liked bullpup rifles. Never have been a AR or AK fan club member.

  32. They would probably build something a lot better than your average Hi-Point.
    7
  33. Greatest is kind of a stretch.

  34.  @geodkyt  well the US Civil War is one of those really strange events when you think about it command-wise. Everybody on both sides went to the same school. It was West Pointer versus West Pointer...

  35. You must be joking?

  36.  @МихайлоРостов  You keep saying common as if they grow on trees. While millions were made, there are no more stocks of surplus. These guns from S. Korea and such are the last stockpile. And while you lowball the value, the market is what it is?

  37.  @First-Name_Last-Name FN was in occupied Belgium. And UK makers like Webley had no extra supply. So, buy from Colt in Neutral America.

  38. Less Volvo, more Plymouth/ Chrysler.

  39. You already have speed loaders for action sports for tube fed shotguns.

  40.  @luisnunes3863  No one is doing fast draw, with a service pistol.

  41. For 1949, 10 rounds is pretty high capacity.

  42. What is there to hate?

  43. Any chance we might get a video on aircrew weapons in general? Various countries have some interesting variations. Also is the revolver perhaps better in the survival situation? I know many US Navy and Marine pilots were issued wheel guns over automatic.

  44. That didn't even sound right as a theory.

  45. It's close to 20 pounds.

  46. Oh God , you had the same thought I did. "Holman come down! Holman come down!"

  47. If you want a tactical pistol, that's what they have a 509 for.
    6
  48.  @RedHuntsman  that is a change in production marking that happened in the '50s. The original designation was Hi-Power.
    6
  49. It's a handful of ideas for a service rifle. It's kind of hard to imagine doing a leap from a straight pull bolt action to this thing?
    6
  50. Worst mistake? Hmmmm, testing Nuclear weapons with live troops seems a lot bigger.
