Tuning3434 What did Othais say about it?

Thanks for reference to Lindybeige. Been following Bloke (and Chap) on Range for a while as well as CapandBall for English language firearms channels giving European (Swiss and Hungarian respectively) perspectives.

I mean he'd dislike it for "French" but I don't think he'd care that it's "not a Spandau"

Yes. But does it fire Pommels?

You really cant end anyone rightly without a pommel

“Kidnap” He’d probably already have his bags packed when you got there.

Hey flak

R u a hacker man?

Ian should put a spook warning on this video, 2spoopy6me

Gun's inventor factchecking Ian from beyond the grave,

Owain richards Our military and mostly our generals come from officer schools and are trained to think in a certain way, and that makes them a little bit short-sighted when it is about anticipating and adapting to change. They are good in regular fights were we need strategy but when we need tactic on the battleground and quick adaptation to changing, they tend to be a bit too slow and conservative sadly. An age old problem we have in France.

Maxime Vincent think lots of countries were the same at this period being a bit slow to the new way of fighting

The development of a semi-automatic rifle for the French army was finalized in 1913 with the adoption of the Meunier, but was postponed in perpetuity by the Great War, cause that's not really the ideal time to change your entire supply of rifles and ammunition. After the war development resumed but on a different model, based on the experiences of the war, and in parallel with the development of a stopgap/rear echelon rifle that would replace the aging Lebel. This last part led to the MAS36, a very good bolt action rifle by any standards, and coupled with updated Berthiers it made up most of France's small arm reserve in WW2. The semi-automatic rifle was unfortunately barely finalized by 1940, and would only become France's standard rifle in 1949. Tl;dr the Meunier couldn;t be adopted, the RSC was not meant to replace anything, then the MAS 40 was cut just short of being issued by WW2. The Lebel wasn;t used that much by then.

Maxime Vincent aren't strategy and tactics basically the same thing?

KL no, strategy is more the grand scheme of things whilst tactics is the operations on the battlefield. Taking a bridge without damaging it so you can use it to move troops over a river is strategy. Flying in at night with silent gliders so as not to alert the enemy is tactics.

TheGoldenCaulk where did you see it at. If that isn't to private of course

TheGoldenCaulk IT BROKE NEW GROUNNDDD

kinda gives me SKS vibes in so far as the general look to it.

Toby Wood any considerations to add this to BF1? Perhaps in the medic class?

I have a video on it filmed that hasn't posted yet. Also one on the 1888 Madsen-Rasmussen.

Forgotten Weapons Excellent! Can’t wait to see that one.

Hi Ian! I have a question for you: What do you think about the Manurhin Mr 73? And do you wish test it? (I know it's 2 questions, my bad!!)

Hi Ian, when will you post these videos?

D’Artagnan, if you don’t mind…

The gods of history will strike you dead on the spot if you convert this to 7x57.

I bet that receiver cover could be modified to take some Weaver mounts.

Welp, Gun Jesus hath spoken, thou shalt not convert this rifle to use 7mm Mauser ammunition.

John Van Swearingen God forbid someone bubba this for deer.

Also, even if you wanted to convert it to 7mm Mauser, you'd have to re-engineer the entire rifle to get it to work. You'd be slapped around so hard by Murphy's Law, that you'd die of exhaustion before you got to even enjoy the thing.

I’m not.

I didn't here him say anything that suggested this gun wasn't in firing condition assuming you had ammo that was appropriate for the gun nor did I see any obvious defects.

The barrel stuck to the inside of the sleeve may be considered a hindrance when it comes to the operation of a long recoil gun...

piritskenyer just a bit

piritskenyer It's in perfectly fine condition as a single shot rifle!

The rifle does not need to be restored... it is in perfect working order. There was only a bit of dried grease sticking the barrel to the barrel guide.

DANNYonPC you think they'll add this thing into BF1?

Ah! An escapee from the Salt Mines breaks cover! :)

If they add this weapon I hope they add a Factory and Extended (15 rounds magazine)

They do

Superbouncybubble youtube doesn't pay gun youtubers anymore.

He's not mocking japanese corpses in the forest, so he doesn't meet KZfaq's payment plan guidelines. Because, marketing dead bodies to children is family friendly, but historical information on firearms and the art being marketed to adults? That's downright terrorism!

@@xmm-cf5eg To be fair to your gross exaggeration and oversimplification, people could use a lot of this info to hurt and kill people and KZfaq has every right as a private business to decide how they spend their money, just like I do. I like what Ian and Karl do so I give them my money, I don't whine that a private corporation or the state isn't giving them money, and I AM a fucking socialist/communist, defending goddamn capitalism. I feel unwell. They probably make more via Patreon than they ever did with KZfaq ads anyways, although I respect Karl's fight. Would be nice if they followed through with their own rules and got stopped paying that Logan guy though, and a few people that very clearly break the rules they have setup, regardless of how many fans they have. I don't expect companies to have principles, but to at least follow their own fucking rules.

I think "pioneer" is the word you were looking for =D Yes the French are often pioneers in many area.

Lakewood Ed I can see the gun owner having a fit at that point. :D

Yeah. Kind of surprised he'd make that mistake.

Yep. Noticed it too.

Probably Radium, if it is in fact luminescent, Happy late Birthday Mad. Curie!

It works for 5 rounds but not 30. You can try but it's not going to work

Both

No, it is short recoil operated. The most common long recoil long gun that comes to mind is the Browning Automatic 5.

Wd40 is TERRIBLE for firearms.. Long term it hardens to a varnish that gums up the works

Laird Cummings ..actually it has a gas tube with a "piston plug "that the tube with action bars impinges against..barrel blows forward pulling action bars forward..pivoting th bolt carrier lever stirrup that moves the bolt back in basically a half stroke..

Laird Cummings ..the B.C assembly and the barrel technically would only have to clear the next round in the mag ...splitting the feed/ extraction time basically in half ..Some H&K actions have a stirrup lever system in B.C. assembly...I do appreciate any input..twas just a mechanical pondering on my part..

Believe me, he was!

Stephen Forster upon reflection I know he was..whilst the camera was on the rifle

bDEREZZED I'm no expert but I doubt it, because the owner of this one believes it's the only privately owned meunier A6 in the world.

And German as well

Sks is post-ww2 and this Meunier A6 is pre-ww1 tho 😂 👍 sks in everyone heart !
