  1. Down with colonialism, Elbonia forever! also terrible small arms

  2.  @rockbutcher  my uncle worked on helicopters in the vietnam era, even if he did have hearing protection, he probably didn't wear it. he's deaf as a rock worked with another vietnam vet who was on a destroyer and had a lot of hearing loss as well

  3. factory managers aren't exactly in ivory towers under a fascist government

  4.  @Dead_Pool_Rising  they had a corbray street sweeper in the one sequence where replicators took over the mountain, its funny because he had a chance to rid the world of one more of those by throwing it at them

  5.  Shoudday Cha  pretty sure following the rules is exactly what the ATF wants
    14
  6. i mean its also esoteric german machining at its best too. Every subtle change in the machining has seemingly been meticulously documented by collectors and assigned a group
    14
  7. germany circa early panzershrek: no faceplate needed!
    14
  8. depends if its a door you're trying to stop

  9. recently they purchased several large drones, upon arrival the airforce was suprised to find in the crates, several large sheets of craft paper and nothing else

  10.  @Reactordrone  how to nazi proof your magazine? use SAE measurements.

  11. seems a bit disingenuous, the technology was purposfully killed to prevent any actual development that might have made it reliable. these arguments about failure are almost exactly the same arguments m14 salesmen had about the ar15, or the bolt action guys had about self loading rifles, or the black powder guys had about bolt actions. this could have been developed into something but never got past the technology demonstrator. this is 2005 technology, we have much smaller much more robust electronics today that could make this work given time

  12. @Semechki for Putin  there's probably been more than a few made of just burning spirits, its still effective
    13
  13.  @MarvinCZ  na the US is right behind germany with our love of paperwork, the scale of the war time government is like on par with the size of the government today. The Pentagon back then didn't have enough office space
    13
  14. probably a sync issue, just like if you pointed a camera at a propeller
    13
  15.  @wierdalien1  open bolt semi auto makes sense as a cheap self loading carbine but that's where they ran out of sense
    13
  16. Very interesting fight, Browning was by far probably a better gunsmith, but Maxim was an incredibly clever guy too since he did build a black powder machinegun

  17. "sir, the uh pistols are uh almost ready to go, just need your signature." "hmmm..." "hey guys, colt's making a .22lr conversion for these pistols, isn't that neat?"
    12
  18.  @genericpersonx333  yes its all well and good to follow the system but what's easier to sell to congress, an m11a1 or a brand new m12!
    12
  19. the memes continue
    12
  20. Haven't you shown before though that the m1's magazine wasn't unreliable as much as it was semi-disposable
    12
  21.  @joshkamp7499  problem is these systems tended not to work all that well, and paradoxically had too much capacity so it was near impossible to reload it expediently
    12
  22. glass reinforced nylon, golden annodized aluminum, futuristic plastic metal construction, very squeeky spring...
    12
  23. Sean Henry to be fair, everybody's always after their picklehabs so they're justified
    12
  24. more like the David Koch of the day. I fail to see how pro democracy outreach by soros is similar to a private individual conspiring to create a war between two countries
    11
  25. could have been a compensator-to-be but not actually drilles depending on how finished this prototype was
    11
  26. ah yes, desert camo, quite useful for the hinterlands of Ukraine
    11
  27.  @unhippy1  the sa80 was margret thatcher corrution and privatization of government companies.
    11
  28. before they used p90s they used mp5s and a handful of m16s, and the odd streetsweeper (for some reason)
    11
  29. nothing worse than going to stab a guy and your bayonet flops down
    11
  30. that is exactly what this series is. he's done a similar video on several other common methods of action
    11
  31.  @loquat4440  hope you like your global economy because saying "Fuck europe" would very quickly fuck us in the states given that europe is a good third of the global economy also NATO pays a hell of a lot more than certain politicians insist they do, like free land practically wherever we want in europe for military use
    11
  32. this thing probably falls under SBR rules, but putting a bigger barrel on it probably wouldn't kill it
    11
  33. Scooby Doo and the mystery of the self-loading rifle, It was old man browning all along!
    11
  34. TheGoldenCaulk these guns weren't exactly expected to last the 10-20, let alone the 50 years guns in most arsenals have to endure. Stamped guns are really just a piece of wartime production, plus germans used really thin steel which made the guns subceptable to all sorts of stress problems
    11
  35. I'm not sure design and manufacture cost all that much, these were just cobbled together, and from spares no less
    11
  36. Stereotypical French Laughter
    11
  37. just funny how back then you could be a doctor and run a munitions factory
    11
  38. "That's nota cartridge, THIS is a cartridge!"
    11
  39. cavalry were some of the last guys to be galloping around in armor too
    11
  40. Thomas Schreiber he's crated up and shipped between auction houses
    10
  41. ​ @rubiconnn  the military always buys a custom loading for all its ammunition, its not just for grift, they have to know what their bullets are going to do

  43. Next Week... "And this looks like an M1 Bazooka but actually there's a Stemple in there!"
    10
  44. stuff and sometimes the odd vampire
    10
  45.  @johnanon6938  you can't even carry on 20 lbs of luggage today irregardless of its lethality
    10
  46. more like engineered pipe guns. The devs for Fallout 4 should have taken some note
    10
  47. s = safe, e = bullet d = all the bullets to translate to modern hk parlance
    10
  48. that or just pure shnadenfreud with the army insisting these are the guns he was sent to purchase, not those mausers
    10
  49.  @P943044S  that's kinda the point the mark 2 was "Oh god we only have the plumbers left!" gun
    10
  50. its failings are made worse because US ordinance boards wouldn't even look at a FAL unless it was 7.62, so they changed the FAL to fire the bigger round to get the US on board and then we didn't even do that. The FAL could have been in a modern caliber as adopted but the m14 screwed that up too
