Thanks for watching! Is there one of these you’d want a more detail breakdown on? What’s that? The MG-42? I mean ok, if I have to... Thanks again to DriveTanks.com for having us out! And thanks to SDI for sponsoring! Again, it’s SDI.edu for more info!

Can't deny that they had the most advanced and well-engineered firearms of their era, truly ahead of their time.

Nobody: The Germans: "Were running out of barrels to melt."

Imagine being a WW2 veteran living nearby hearing this.

As a german airborne soldier i really appreciate the background music

American soldier: “Hey, it’s a machine gun.” German soldier: “Haha OK.”

Brandon: is AKGUY Also Brandon: playes SS marschiert in Feindesland

In WW2 when allied soldiers heard that report ( MG-42) instantly the Fear factor kicked in and everybody was on the ground. A truely Magnificent and Devastating weapon of war.

High rate of fire of the MG-15 is because it’s an aircraft machine gun, adapted to a ground roll with the attachment of a bipod and buttstock.

Fun fact: the german army uses a modernised version of the MG42 to this day just as we still use the M2.

You just PTSD'd my grandpa and now he's asking me for orders and cursing to germans

You don’t want to be on the receiving end of a MG-42. This gun was infamously known for severing limb from body. Lots of allied forces lost limb and life to the mg-42 especially on Normandy Beach

I was a gunner on the M2 50 cal. in the Marine Corps back in the early 70's . The 50cal. can't hold a candle to MG42 on the rate of fire but I would say the size of the rounds of the 50 makes up the difference. The Germans did have some excellent guns without a doubt.

"no full auto in the building" Hans: mg42 goes brrrrrrrrrrr

I’m surprised Brandon’s body didn’t reject the non-Russian guns.

Gun: *malfunctions* Brandon: "The fatherland is very disappointed in her" Gun: *works*

"Cmon baby for the fatherland... the fatherland is very disappointed in her" I'm actually crying

*"this gonna be like a religious experience for me"* Says AK Jesus

Due to its high rate of fire, the MG15 was one of the first machineguns to be fitted to Luftwaffe bombers used during the Spanish Civil War and the early days of WWII. It was mostly phased out by 1942 (the advent of the MG42) but it remained in use on light bombers and some older aircraft. The MG42 was eventually replaced as well by the MG131, a larger and heavier 13mm machinegun, in most German aircraft by 1943. The MG15 saw continued use in the German Army mostly as a reserve weapon while the MG42 was the primary light machinegun for the remainder of the war.

Yeah my paw-paw was shot three times by a MG-42 on the Rhine river. That's after the bullets past threw three or four soldiers in front of him. Only two survivors out of a whole platoon. He was 18 years old and one of the two. Never forget, freedom ain't free.

I remember firing the MG3 (Modernized MG42) during wintertime. We had to use these thick gloves when switching barrels. This guy dropped the barrel and it instantly went 2 feet down in the snow.

Me: *literally every gun I see in this episode*: GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!

My Dad was in a Tank Brigade during WWII.. at the end of the war they found a gun manufacturing company and everything that the enemy was shooting they were just lined up on racks all brand new..My Dad was able to bring back his tank from WWII and had it in the driveway..But before it was shipped to the states he filled the inside of that tank with about 500 machine guns, helmets, German Ruger's, P38, Walther PPK's..I know another guy that was a fighter pilot after World War II his property is in Columbus New Jersey was about 20 acres and they were filled with every fighter plane you could think of including the 50 cal machine guns on Top and in the front he had his whole property surrounded by a 12 ft fence with barbed wire at the top..You name it he had it all..This guy had WW-2 on his property he had about 10 military Jeeps..In the back they had the radio and in the center a 50 cal machine gun about five half-tracks everything he had was America..Most were the size of a 747 commercial airplane.. My Dad he had the American Tank but he also had a lot of brand New German military machine guns and handguns.. my grandfather he was a World War one he had two old BAR's.. a couple other rifles and handguns..Then after Vietnam I was able to bring back a couple cool weapons that were mine or the enemies..To me I look at it as generations of great military fighter's..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸...You would be surprised how much German artifacts came back from WWII..So much was getting stolen I heard they had to put armed guards I guess to keep the GI's from stealing everything that wasn't nailed down..Why not they fought and they conquered..

Happy belated Father’s Day dad!

Brandon going to bed like: I am heavy weapons guy.

It’s crazy how the MG42 can fire so fast when it was ment to be a cheaper replacement for the MG34

As a German I can confirm these piece of our history is in good hands, and hey thanks for shouting out our Soldiers Anthem

Nobody: Brandon:let’s blast Erika in the background

I mean how can you not shoot WW2 German machine guns without having “Erika” play in the background?

King of Machine guns still use the design in the German military today. Known as the German MG 3

A frind of me has the MP40, the MP38, the Tommy gun and the PPSh. I personally love the WWII Tommy and the MP38 in her wood stock, it gives you as a sport shooter significant advantage in terms of gun control and precision. Also the mp38 has some features dealing with comfort and safety. But the MP40 is the more common and mass produced cheaper brother, it’s a real must have classic

Fun fact the mg 42 is the heavy blaster from star wars used by the galactic empire stormtroopers

"Hold it down", "Its a Machine gun" "Haha Ok" *German Warmachine intensifies*

Heard “Erika,” and I knew this was going to be glorious.

the fact that the 2nd song in the video (stg 44) is the "SS Marschiert in Feindesland" shows how incredibly based this guy is, and further proves that he has balls of fucking titanium.

This video has the BEST background music of all of their kind.

german gun creators while making the mg42. "Hey how fast do you want this thing to fire?" The Fuher. " YES. "

Brandon talking about doing a video about STG44 vs AK... His fans: (Palpatine voice) "dew-it"

the way he said goodbye my butterfly

Honestly wish they still used the MG42 today, eeveeen though there is a modern variant in the MG3 but that firerate should not be neutered on that beautiful design.

Music: Erika Rammstein Our Anthem Grüner teufel A Fallschirmjäger remix Panzerlied Yep, this is an American video.

“Hey HEEEEY, ITS A MACHINE GUN.” German soldier: *giggles before shredding all the targets down range while Erika blares in the background* Oh wait is this the wrong video.

Whatever your opinion about Nazi, you just have to respect the MG42. This beast destroyed of lot of allies during the WW2 and i bet one of the scariest sound during the war.

1:42 Is this the Teufelslied? For those who ask: No it‘s a song called „Grüne Teufel“. It was rewritten for the Bundeswehr (the german army after WW2). To be able to sing the song, they changed things like „SS marschiert“ to „Ja wer marschiert“ or Wolgastrand (a polish river) to Oderstrand (a german river). Still a very critical song.

Why did my grandpa just trowed a grenade in the room hearing this

American: IT'S A MACHINE GUN! German: ok hehe

that was freeeeeeaking AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MG-42 even today is an incredible MG, as is the MP-40 and incredible SMG. The STG-44 is also a formidable, and very historic rifle. MG-34 also very good.

Nobody: Americans firing German machineguns: *Goodbye Schmetterling!*

That erika in background makes me fear Im Pole

1:00 “Goodbye my butterfly” I love it

*DRUMROLL* Brandon: "The MG4-" Ad: "Computer Science and Digital technologies degree"

*shoots mp40 from the shoulder Me a man whose played Cod and watched movies: "Wait, that's illegal"

*German march music playing in the background* KZfaq: REEEEEEEEEE

I actually love the mp40 it's just so satisfying

I was in the Bundeswehr for 3 years and I was a MG3 operator. Best time of my life love that gun.

Based, Red Pilled, Chad.

When i see the mp40 with its stock collapsed, I think it should be extended When I see the mp40 with its stock extended, i think it should be collapsed Either way, i am very conflicted..

German in the title... Germans: Dieser Kommentarbereich ist jetzt Deutsches Staatsgebiet

Crazy that it's been nearly 3 years since this vid dropped. Always been a favorite of mine

The MP40 - the quintessential weapon for the bad guys

The Germans had suppressive fire capabilities the world had never seen before

My grandpa here is having a stroke hearing those "kinda familiar" sounds

This is why the Germans are very good at making things most things.

The glee and the blush at the end says it all.

American soldiers: NOOO you can’t use MG42 to kill us all! German in bunker: Hehe, MG go BRRRRRRRRT #akgnotificationsquad

*brandon with tears in his eyes* “this is not an ak damnit”

that sound from the MG42 is scary

that MP-40 is a beauty.. and oddly steady. I didnt expect that

love the /pol/ theme song at 7:03

French teacher: Does anyone know who the first victor of the Tour de France was? The boys: the 7th panzer division

Grün ist unser Fallschirm

Greatest KZfaqr of all time !!!

The original firing rate was 1500 rpm and then reduced to 1200 for the sake of reliability. 25 bullets per second and it was designed 70-80 years ago for such an unreal rate of fire.

Brandon: The mp40 is brilliant *slaps it* But I like this stg44

Optic: Slate Reflector Muzzle: Recoil Booster Barrel: Krausnick 221mm O1B Underbarrel: Mark VI Skeletal Magazine: 9MM 64 Round Drums Rear Grip: Fabric Grip Stock: Krausnick 33M Folding Ammo Type: Hollow Point Proficiency: Momentum Kit: Fully Loaded Now you have a meta gun

Can’t imagine that MG 42 pointing straight down Omaha beach.. must be pure terror for those getting off that landing craft..

Germans: see title Also Germans: Diese komentarsektion ist hiermit Eigentum der Bundesrepublik Deutschland.

These weapons were so ahead of their time.

7:24 now imagine running at 6 of those holding an m1 garand while your friends are in pieces and theres possibilities of landmines everywhere.

"Well that was good for blood flow to the crotch" -Brandon Herrera, 2020

Brandon: shoots mg42. Deutscher Lmg Schütze: Dein erstes Mal Kamerad?

5:26 The gun after shooting hearing that rumble gives me chills

+ points for playing Rammstein

*sees gun drummer* Me: “A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one”

If Germany is the Fatherland and Russia is the Motherland does that make the entire eastern block of WW2 domestic violence?

If the STEN is the angry toob, the MG15 is the FURIOUS toob

bro livin the dream

Hippedie hoppedie diese Kommentar Sektion is now german property

FG-42 " cries softly "after not getting invited to the party

All I can think about is how these were used against our troops on that beach. Nonstop.

3 years later, tony gonzales is using this vid for his campaign

No one: Not a single soul: Brandon shoots the MG-42. Me: yeah he just nutted.

How to get demonetized and questioned by the ATF: part 1 #AKGnotificationsquad

The sounds of the mp40 firing is the best sound, prove me wrong

We even had the Horten 229. Worlds first Stealth Bomber.

As a german, i love when amys talk about german stuff

"Its a machine gun!" "Haha, OK." *goes A-10 warthog*

Songs (the ones without the title in the video): - Erika - Grüne Teufel (denazified version of "SS marschiert im Feindesland" [change Hitler to Freedom in the lyrics and you're good to go] and it was used not too long ago by the Fallschirmjäger) - Panzerlied - German National Anthem - Grün ist unser Fallschirm (Remix)

3:12 “for the fatherland” bro I can’t 😂
