He’s a little confused but he’s got the spirit

Matt you should do a gun tour and show all of the guns that you have

Matt: M1 carbine is cost about $45 Airsoft M1 carbine: $302 take it or leave it

Everyone will get a gun, and Mere will cook breakfast, and we will start training. I love that plan.

I work at a factory that was owned by GM and produced M1's during the war. The rebar in the floor is leftover M1 barrels.

People in 2017: laugh when preparing for apocalypse Mat in 2020: They called me a madman

When he said "Most produced gun in WW2" I thought he was going to review a Mosin Nagant.

Matt: they had lighter things, they had like Thompson machine guns. Me: THE THOMPSON IS HEAVIER THAN THE GARAND DAMMIT Edit: why is this my most liked comment?

11:39 “it’s obvious, I’m preparing for the apocalypse” *Agree’s with coronavirus*

M1 carbine: "most produced gun in ww2" Mosin Nagant: "Hold my vodka, comrade."

I love how far your channel has come, and yet how these old videos are still entertaining. Easy to see how you grew to be so big.

Matt-“I just wanted to compare it with sonething you probably shot” European me-tears running down my face

Me: Wait Matt you sleep with your guns Matt: Wait you don't

Matt: I’m prepping for the apocalypse Everyone: *laughs* 2020: *laughs back*

Factoid: Louisville Slugger, the baseball bat company had a large part of its bat factory in Louisville converted to make the wood stock for the M1 Carbine. Not that big of jump in production protocol as the company had (still has) lots and lots of wood lathes, which could make part of the wood stock. Learned this on a tour at the Louisville Slugger museum aways back.

"We'll save the world from the apocalypse" Me: Sounds good.

"The most produce gun in ww2" Me:wait what -look at the description Me:ohh

Seen an M1 garand at a gun show many years back that was from WWII and had never been shot. Still had the original packing grease. They wanted like $1,200 for it back then. Love your content Matt. My new favorite channel.

Thank you! I have one. It's a valid (and damn good) 250 yard whitetail cartridge. If it will drop a whitetail, it is also good on enemy soldiers. Never had a FTF, never had a malf of any kind. The standard ammo at 100 yards is equal to a .357 at the muzzle. One guess what is on top of my bug-out-bag.

Pop carried a M1 Garand in WWII. Landed on Omaha Beach in Normandy a couple weeks after D-Day. Got through the Battle of the Bulge, and the Rheinland Campaign. Then went a little too far into Germany and was captured by the Germans. They took his M1.97 days in a POW camp before being liberated.Had a Battle of the Bulge replica made. It was a Winchester 70 featherweight. Chambered in .30-.06. Has the BOB emblem on the stock. I think they made 300 of them.He never got to fire it before he passed away. I still have it...

Matt: "I'm preparing for the apocalypse." Me watching in March 2020: "He's psychic, I wonder if they've started training yet."

Matt’s neighbor: I’m so happy that the creek has so many good fish in it! Matt: 🔫🔫🔫🌊💦 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐠🐠☠️🪦

I can't wait!!! I am back working again and I have promised myself a M1. Carbine for Christmas this year. Got two 30s loaded up and ready for her.

4:31 "In WWII, they were going through trenches a lot." WWII, as opposed to WWI, was a mobile war, defined by its comparative *lack* of trenches.

I know this is an old video, but I just started following your channel! The M-1 carbine was more popular in the Pacific, it had trouble penetrating the heavy winter clothes in Europe. It was mostly carried by the guys in the rear and tank crews. In the Pacific they didn't wear the heavy heavy clothes and there was a lot more close up/cqb type fighting

My 1st back up rifle was that 30.cal M1/scoped with a 30 rd mag in my trunk as a county deputy in the 70s. One of those guns you wish you'd never let go. Got the Navy rifle Expert medal with the M14 . Somebody handed me a M1A1 Grande at the 1987 Pacific Fleet Matches held at Camp pendleton. I saw why it beat the crap outta Germany's bolt action 98. You had to love "Fast Follow up shots" doc.

I like history lessons personally. Im one who doesn’t know a lot about guns but I find them interesting so sometimes when gun guys rattle off numbers it ammo types I have no clue what they mean so a little breakdown is nice.

You should get metal targets with different pitches and play jingle bells with your guns :)

Love this video review. I inherited a mostly IBM m1 carbine with a saginaw receiver and winchester stock. Whats amazing to me is that there were so many manufacturers of parts for this carbine...IBM, Saginaw, Winchester, Rockola, Inland ...just to name a few..But the parts all perfectly interchanged. The carbine was intentionally made with loose tolerances. It was designed to give soldiers who werent on the front lines and alternative to the 1911 45colt. It was easier to shoot more accurate with the carbine vs the pistol and and easier to train the soldiers to shoot it. It was so easy to shoot, so light and handy that it found its way to the front lines and was popular with paratroopers and convoy caravans. There are several carbine reviews showing the 30 caliber carbine accurately shooting through 12x12 inch pine boards wrapped in wool (to sumulate North Korean regulars winter attire...and the carbine blows through this and a gallon jug of water at 200yds. Some of the issues with penetration was because many soldiers tried to engage the enema beyond 200 yds (in Europe) and the little carbine wasnt designed for that...it was designed as an intermediate or stop gay between the 1911 pistol and the Garand. The Carbine muzzle energy at 100 yds is the same as a 357 magnum at the muzzle. So you have to ask yourself....would you like to get hit with a 357 magnum at point blank range? Would a 357 in close quarters go through a thick winter coat? Some of the penetration issues with the 30 cal carbine had to do with extreme cold and the ammo powder not burning efficiently or completely, resulting in Weaver performance. I believe I read where they later corrected this problem in the Korean war. I love this rifle and its history... Great review sir!!

In 1944 my grandfather was given the M1A1 carbine, which If you didn’t know, that could have a folding stock. He told me about how it would almost never jam. He was around 19-20ish and was 6,1 and it was like a Mattel toy for him.

The m1 carbine was actually produced to give artillery crews and vehicle crews an alternative to the 1911 sidearm

The M1 Carbine was designed to replace PISTOLS issued to rear echelon troops. Because it was so light and carried lighter ammo a soldier could carry more of it. It is effective up close and clearing a house was easier with a weapon you could maneuver easier and you can accurately fire quickly and hit a target with multiple rounds.

Love your videos about guns . One of my favorite video is the FREAKIN Mosin Nagant !

i own 3 pieces of GM M1 Carbine and 2 Inland :) had one more inland carbine but there was name and address carved on stock so i found the person (now 81yo man) and i have returned his rifle to him for free after i repaired the bolt (refinished moving parts so it goes slick and nice) he was happy to reunite with his rifle

Mare is gonna need a bigger stove to cook for 4 million of us.

"I guess I should have specified it’s the most produced AMERICAN gun during WW2". Just leaving this here, a few people are missing it.

Patton said the Garand was the gun that won the war. Having shot one several times, it's an absolute beast. .30-'06 is just a massive round, SO much power every time you pull the trigger. You can shoot through just about anything to hit your enemy. I love the ghost ring sights on them as well. And Tommy guns were never meant to shoot anything at 200 yds. They were city-clearing guns and great for trench warfare.

That's 30 cal is a really nice piece of hardware and my friend recovered his when it fell overboard and it's a good thing because it was made in 1942 and it shoots smooth but I think unfortunately he going fishing back at that same fishing hole and I hope he doesn't loose it again.Thank You Jake Bissel

Can we get some more Big Rock Tests in the future? I like the objective, and precise scientific data it produces.

Now don’t get mad when 4 million people show up to your door😂😂

The carbine was issued to platoon leaders sometimes a platoon sergeant or squad leader. The main Brattle rifle was the M1. It was considered last Converse for the NCO'S and officers that had more to do.

Hi Matt, I heard you saying this in other videos as well, that .30 is the same size of 9mm, but it's not true. .30in = 7.62mm the similarity is just in the fact that the .30 carbine is typically 110gr and the 9mm is typically 115gr. The closest inch equivalent to a 9mm is the .357.

Production of Mosins, 98 Mausers, Lee Enfields and Arisakas far exceeded the production of M1 Carbines during the war. The title would be correct if it was titled "The Most Produced US Service Weapon of WWII".

The m1 carbine was created not as a replacement for the m1 garand. It was developed as a pdw. Gun for tank crews and jeep jockeys, cooks and people behind the line. It was made so support troops had firepower. I have a singer m1 carbine.

Props on the Steyr. Great pistols that don't get enough love

I call dibbs on the Barrett when Matt's handing out weapons 🤣😂😁😅

The history nerd in me is losing my mind... 30 Carbine was designed for support troops, it ended up in the hands of officers and mortarmen and the like, it was eventually used by the paratroopers with a side folding stock. Also, trench warfare wasn't the most common sight, that was world war 1... Still love ya Matt, but go read some WW2 books.

Matt next video we wanna see ALL your guns laid out and just kinda talk about them. I wanna see the full armorment

Another note: the M1 Carbine was issued to a lot of guys who literally couldn't carry a Garand in their circumstances. A lot of vehicle crews, namely jeep and truck drivers, the very-weighed-down men who carried ammo for bazookas, a version with a folding wire stock was made for paratroopers, etc.

I'm not really a gun guy but this channel is funnier than expected so I guess I'll stick around for a bit.

My prediction for what the apocalypse will be: 1. Zombies 2. Canada attacking us 3. Matt choosing 1 (permanent) favorite gun

Could u do a video showing off ur entire gun collection ?

10/10 would assemble at Demo Ranch for the end of days. say the word Matt we will be there!

It was originally designed to replace needing a pistol. But they were so handy that the use was expanded a great deal.

I got you mat👍 when the apocalypse comes I’ll bring the pancake mix

I would join the *Demolitia*

First time watcher, LOL! Love this dude LOL! SUBSCRIBED!!

My dad gifted me my grandpa’s old carbine when I turned 16 and it’s great, a really great shooter, plus there’s tones of ammo for it👌🏻

Matt, a little bit of correction: "By the end of the war, approximately 13 million M91/30 rifles had been produced." that is the Mosin riffle count for the WW2.

The Thompson was actually a little bit heavier than the garand.

The 30 carbine was developed to give non front line troops something more accurate and more powerful than just a 1911 A1. Truck drivers, mechanics, officers etc. I have the 30 M2A2 version. It was given to many foreign paratrooper personal. It is an A2, select fire version with a collapsible wire stock. I acquired mine on a battle-field in Vietnam in 1967. The Vietnamese paratrooper that had it no longer needed it and I did. it is also very controllable in full auto.

The apocalypse start I'm with you Matt. Demolition meeting

actually the m1 carbine came about because they needed a gun for people who were not on the frontline but needed to be armed but didnt need a full size battle rifle, and needed more than a pistol, they eventually found their way onto the frontline were they were well liked by the men who carried them, also, ww1 was when they dug the trenches, they did have them in ww2, but were not as popular.

This intro makes me believe that Matt really wanted to be a rockstar when he was young. (He said that in a Vlog) lol.

love this guys energy

Everyone: M1 Carbine Matt: The M1 Carbene

The Tommy gun wasn´t any lighter than the Garand. In fact, it was a pound heavier. The carbine was intended to replace the M1911 pistol for rear echelon units, and to equip paratroops. Although in the end it ended up being used by first line troops who prefered the lightweight, light recoil and high capacity, specially in Korea.

Ok the way you were stroking that rifle don't be surprised if Mere beats it up against a tree that fluzzy rifle lol

I actually have an m1 carbine both a real one and a replica that’s chambered in .22 they’re both fun to shoot

out of all my guns my 30 carbine is the most favorite in my collection. its old and still holds up to a lot of shooting still to this day

mosin rifle - 37 000 000 mauser 98 - 15 000 000 m1 carabine - 6 500 000

The thompson was most certainly NOT lighter. Unloaded that thing weighs like 10 to 11 pounds. Almost 2 times as heavy as a basic ar15

Don’t forget the grease gun 45 acp, we have one of those in our collection such a cool iconic gun from ww2. They’re super rare and expensive these days

"The whimpy .30 carbine cartridge" - Keep in mind for defense that you are not limited to military ball (FMJ) ammo. There are a variety of soft point or hollow point .30 carbine loadings out there, which will inflict big damage in a compact 5lb rifle out well beyond pistol range. Test first to ensure they feed well. Love my carbine.

The Thompson wasn’t exactly light tho.

The intro, that's totally me with my .30 carbine. Fine little home defense weapon, especially for us in occupied California.

Two of the best right there.

This man has the greatest intro's in the world i swear😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💙

Can you please please please see up some metal plates and play Jingle bells

The M1 Carbine was made for Auxiliary Troops, but most importantly Radiomen. Up to that point they were only given a 1911, and that wasn’t such a great idea. Also, the Thompson M1A1 was freaking heavy man, almost up there with the Garand.

Most satisfying thing about M1 Garand is that iconic sound when run out of ammo

I gots 5 of em… one type 53 carbine brimg back was throphy bring back of my “magicial mystery tour of 68’’! little ruff on the schoulder! I now reload for this cartdrigde!

HOW MANY ROUNDS WOULD IT TAKE TO GO THROUGH THAT ROCK.

You need a Canadian chapter for the Demolitia. I volunteer, as I have the Demo Ranch AR 15 and I have a hunting property...

I have owned a M1 Carbine. It's basically a pistol caliber carbine. Notice Officers used it a lot. I was told by my grandfather that it was issued to those who couldn't shoot very well.

Seeing matt being funny is always entertaining

Can you shoot the rock with the 50 cal

You gotta do more "history" videos! very interesting

That's actually a post-WWII M1 Carbine. You can tell with the addition of a bayonet lug, which the WWII ones did not have, alongside the adjustable rear sights.

One thing to note here, DR, is that if you start getting failure to feed issues it is because the magazine is getting worn. Riflemen of WWII consistently used new magazines and the rifle performed flawlessly. It wasn't until after the war that FtF started to be seen because the magazines were getting worn out. Keep new magazines available in your stock-of-stuff.

the *Plink* from an M1 garand mag is probably the best sound any gun has ever made

I don’t need a gun, but can I just come over for breakfast?

I use m1garand natoammo in my 30-06 , handles them fine , very accurate in a lightweight savage model 110

When your buying a new gun get a Rock Island 1911 in 22 tcm and do a review, it's an interesting cartridge, I think it's the 10 mm case necked down to 22 and in the excellent m1911 platform

@DemolitionRanch Matt, I'm a medically retired army ranger from 2ND Ranger BN and I'm a huge fan, but one of my many guns is a Thompson machine gun in .45 acp and it's one of the heaviest guns I've ever held. I love it, but it's miserable to shoulder for a full drum.

I used to have a M1 Garand and M1 Carbine. Gone yrs ago but my wife said she’s gifting me a CMP M1 Garand this March 2019 lucky me.

Best opening of a video yet!!!

Legend has it it’s still Raining over there today

Dad" really Taylor Swift?" Me" it's the intro to a gun video" Dad"mhm"
