  1. No, as they don’t exist. The vast majority of those deaths are of soldiers from both sides, with the majority of civilian casualties from the Russians.

  2. oldesertguy in most cases weapons used wooden stocks because wood was the only material available. We have better materials now. And beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

  3. leftnoname Dont have to be socialist to ban guns.

  4.  @NotDumbassable  it’s not just the bolt, the gun also relies on the suppressor to take recoil. And frankly the G3 is an outdated system, while the 6.8x51 is a solution looking for a problem that’s already been solved.

  5. Fun

  6. Not really, save for the on-matching part if it's still in military configuration. And where I'm at sporterized rifles aren't cheap either.

  7. CyberProto TikiHead Plenty of police forces around the world are armed with machine guns, so it’s not “only in America”.

  8. Because we don’t use muzzle loaders anymore.

  9. Cheapest route is to just find one that hasn’t been sporterized.

  10. Yah I don’t know or even buy the Hitler connection but combination guns were a thing that were fairly popular in Germany.

  11. Good. Mosins are getting expensive and people who sporterized them seem to think that their hack job makes the rifles more valuable.

  12. Many terms can describe the Donbas republics, but “free” isn’t one of them.

  13. That aged poorly for you.

  14. Fus 1: Slaves make a smaller portion of the population today that they did in the past 2: That’s not the only shitty thing found in the past.

  15. Evan Harrison No ones going to bother reading all of that in the YouTube comment section dude.

  16. Aaron's Gaming Show Cost, market didn’t fit it, etc.

  17. Good thing none of those are contrary to the other and can all be taught.

  18. Aaron Turner Thing is, if it’s just as reliable as the M16 and M4, why waste money buying new rifles?
    2
  19. And the confederates met theirs in Georgia and the Carolinas.

  20. Sheldon Robertson No.

  21. What?

  22. Rita the Hamstew Fuck off. That’s a terrible “compromise”, and it solves nothing other than restrict the the amount of collectors of NFA owners there are. It’d effectively kill the community.

  23. Paul Castro The AR is a plenty reliable rifle, and far more modular and adaptable. He’s got some videos about this subject on his other channel.

  24. They wanted soldiers to be able to volley fire out to like 2000 meters.
    2
  25. @ they can reach out to those ranges but few people could consistently shoot out that far. Thats why militaries ditched them. Also volley fire was something done by an entire unit.

  26. Poor baby

  27.  @TheOriginalShoneBoyOnYT  doesn’t really matter when the firearms companies bringing these kits in have to follow them.
    2
  28. Or you can buy whatever the fuck you want. And you’ve missed the point of why these modernizations exist in the first place; for militaries who already have a shit ton of G3’s they bought back during the Cold War but want a modern rifle. Civilians do it because it’s cool.

  29. Are we supposed to feel bad for the Nazis because some American soldiers brought home some guns?

  30. Battlefield pick ups aren’t an actual alternative to industry.

  31. Marketing is how you get people to buy your product. Good marketing can sell a bad product, bad marketing wont sell a good product.

  32. Ever heard of water power? It’s how factories where powered before electricity.

  33. To fool the Germans into thinking it’s a cat.

  34. Speak for yourself. This channel is just as much about the history of these work and as it is about their mechanics.

  35. Lol

  36. The Russians aren’t out of the fight but neither are the Ukrainians.

  37. Not really.

  38. Tomas Mood That literally not what sporterization was. Sporterization was to trim surplus (and already legal) rifles into hunting rifles. In that vast majority of cases this wasn’t done due to some appreciation of the rifles history or whatever, you don’t appreciate the history of something by cutting it up, but rather it’s because they where cheaper than brand new hunting rifles. That’s the major reason it was done. These guns where cheap and they wanted to make them look/feel like civilian hunting rifles. There is no bond between a soldier and his weapon there.

  39. Yah I severely doubt that. Sounds like you’ve already got it the worse and not allowing civilians to legally own arms isn’t making it any better.

  40. Mestre G I men’s European museums and collections are filled to the brim with stolen artifacts, so it’s not like the Europeans are innocent bystanders in this regard.

  41. Russia has directly threanted Finland and Sweden with invasion. Currently it’s looking like Finland might possibly join Russia.

  42. Huge Bartlett The M16 is already over 50 years old, I’m sure it’ll last another 50 and beyond.
    2
  43. It’s a handgun. 9mm has enough stopping power and you get significantly higher capacity with it.
    2
  44. Because there’s no machinery out there to make it, which means it would have to be reverse engineered and that costs a lot of money, and as such these rifles if newly manufactured would be extremely expensive and frankly very few people would actually buy them.

  45. Last I ch led you didn’t have to join the military to wear a helmet or own a gun.
    2
  46. Did you even watch the video? The bullet and powder are loaded from the muzzle.
    2
  47. HRB Most rifles are.
    2
  48. Assault weapons aren’t a real thing. Plenty of mass shootings have been down with guns that aren’t “assault weapons” that where just as deadly. If you think you’re any safer now than you where before you’re mistaken. Anyway why are you even here?
    2
  49. Christpher R Fritz it fits within the caliber selection. The only thing any of the guns share in common is that they fire calibers that are far larger than what you’re going to find in most gun shops, and nothing else.

  50.  @ragnarragnarsson3128  the alternative was white rails and turkeys almost went extinct in the wild so I’m not trusting unregistered hunting either.
