It instantly reminded me of that little knob at the end of MP-40 barrels that allowed soldiers to brace the gun on/against something when firing.

This gun was so cool in BF1. And, yes, happy to learn more about.

Yeah, that's the only reason I even recognized it. Favorite medic gun fore shore.

It's also a rifle in Battlefield V! It is an infantry rifle for Assault class.

@@VertietRyper Bruh, I forgot the assault and medic switched guns

@@VoidySan That, and along with Support's Carbine pistols, they went to Recon in BFV as well.

Old style AR-10 handle would look epic ngl

Like that one in .338-06 that was painted white?

@@ScottKenny1978 i cant remember if its the same one or not, but someone put a m16esque carry handle on it and painted it white and brown camo

@@megachimp2537 that's an abomination.

Wait, it's bad now? Just asking, as I haven't played BF1 in long time.

@@paleoph6168 It's still great. The person above probably hasn't played it in a long time

@@vlotex yup I haven’t

It was mid. Completely filled with nothing but hackers after six months like every battlefield game on PC.

@(düzenlendi) Agreed, 5 was a much much better game.

Makes you wonder what the old legends could have done with modern design tech like autocad and computer simulation instead of spending years on development through trial and error.

@@Indylimburg you're right, I'm into solidworks and fusion 360 ya'll, still mistakes happens and sometimes materials doesn't handle stress on long terms, here comes how amazing those engineers who didn't had CAD/CAM consepts, no R&D which we've today but they could do things that could work flawlessly 100 years ya'll..

It's weird how such older guns can feel "better" that way. Maybe it's machining not being miles better as we may think, or maybe it's the guns being old yet still sturdy and tight. I can't ever pin it for sure, but it feels like a cheat code they used back then in my left brain. It could literally just be the quality standards were higher because much more of a gun was handmade or tailored.

I'm sitting in a machine shop right now after a day of work thinking that the machine work on this rifle is impeccable. However, I can't help but to think... Why? This gun had to cost a fortune to make considering materials, tooling, and some hellacious labor time. The best things are simple and easy to service. Those are the parts people want. The simple things are the things that last longest and are easiest to use. They're cheap and reproducible as well, and on the quick. Startup costs and times are better too. Manufacturing revolves around the individually simple things.

I hope you finde one to hold one day

The Farquar-Hill was developed into a light machine gun. It lost out the Vickers-Berthier and ZB26, evolved into the Bren.

EQG Enjoyer I approve 👍

I imagine that there were also lot of hand fitting to make a rifle work.

@@2stroke438 didn't he say they tried it out in the trenches 😏

@@jackdarbyshire5888 With or without a plane?

A sealed up, tightly-toleranced gun is usually much better at surviving mud than a firearm with poor tolerances. The classic examples are the AR-15, the AK, the Luger and the 1911. Which of those do you think perform better in a mud test? The answer (by a country mile) is the AR-15 and the Luger. The AK and the 1911 will get mud into the action, or behind the hammer, and then all bets are off. Rattle is bad! Looser tolerances don't translate into reliability when exposed to adverse conditions, they (at best) provide a place for carbon to build up that isn't going to gum up the action. Dumping this rifle into mud will probably render it inoperable, but the same would be true of the AK, or nearly any rifle. A very tightly-toleranced rifle will not get mud into the action, and so will be much better at surving the kind of mud bath that you can reasonably expect a rifle to survive (that is to say, not a particularly long one). The reason why automatic rifles fare worse in the trenches (and why they might not want them there) is because trench-rifles don't need to survive a mud-bath and keep on shooting, they need to survive ten thousand mud baths, ten thousand and one water rinses, and then keep on shooting. Particularly complicated guns like this rifle will not handle that kind of experience as well as simpler firearms.

@@2stroke438 Yeah...that was my first thought....little mud on a plane.

Broom is ok but i dont like the balance, P08 would be the right time match, maybe with the longer navy barrel

Ian actually helped with BF1’s development! He is thanked in the credits.

@@c.m.hahnebaum753 i know i also discowered "The Great War" channel after trailer and they helped with BF1 too i don't know if C&Rsenal helped with BF1 but they helped the devs of Verdun/Tannenberg/Isonzo

German Machinist employment preservation. Can't go to the front, gotta make these overly complicated rifles!

So you can afford one now?

@@tikalthewhimsicott2736 Not yet, most Mondragon's start between 20 & 30 thousand dollars anyways. Had that 9/10 thousand Mondragon shown up last year when I had money, I would've taken it & ditch the French FR-F2

Well put, applies to guns and cars.

@@justinbarton247 I'm on my second Audi. I agree.

Germans prefer the term: uberdimensional.

Have you ever studied german grammar? From the standpoint of other European languages, it is totally backwards and requires you to build the entire sentence in your head before you start speaking. I always wondered what it does to the mind of a native german speaker.

I was thinking along the same lines as you with the S an K. But I was thinking the S might have stood for the newer 7.9 mm Spitzer bullet ammunition. There was a redesign of the 7.9 mm (8 mm Mauser) cartridge in 1898 designated the Patron 88 (Cartridge 88), The Bullet diameter was .318" (8.08 mm). But the new French designed 8 mm Le Belle had started a military rifle ammunition revolution. Because of this, the German military and ammo manufacturers further refined their 8 mm bullet around 1903 and increased the diameter to .323" (8.20 mm) and higher chamber pressure. This became the S Patron. The rifles chambered and barreled for the older cartridge could not use the this new ammunition without devastating results. Some of them with receivers that could handle the higher pressures, were re-barreled for the new larger diameter ammo and were stamped with an "S" on the barrel. However the new rifles that were chambered for the new 7.92 mm ammo were also stamped on the barrels with an S to show they were chambered for the new 7.92 ammo. Though the older ammo with the smaller .218" bullet could be fired from the new chambering, the accuracy was terrible. I've seen several German rifles from WWI and WWII that had that "S" and "K" marked somewhere on the barrel. Some like this one with the serial number and others with the "S" stamped on the barrel and the "K" in the model number or somewhere on the receiver if it was a long rifle that was re-barreled to the carbine standard, usually with the SN on the receiver.

FSK is only used for movies, not for games.

@@jort93z right forgot, that USK and FSK are not the same

... or to buy a semiautomatic antiair Rifle

One military joke more!

Things will change when you look at the inside.

@@clothar23 There are also the Swiss rifles...

@@FreeOfFantasy Ya mean the shameless AK copies that are somehow worse than a '47 model despite costing more and looking uglier ? Or something worse ?

@@clothar23 you mean RUBE GOLDBERG? An overly complexed mechanism designed to perform a very simple task!

At least the didn't go full G11 on it yet.

Maybe Mauser got a look at fedorov's avtomat?

Noice! I hope that gets on the table at some point. I wonder if there was a loading tool to load 5 at the same time and then flip it over.

... but how about this question; how much does it cost to purchase 10 of those rifles, and how much did the plane itself cost? lol

@@normanmccollum6082 All you would need is one plane dude. I don't think the Germans would mind that this one plane loaded up with these rifles costs at much as the Ardennes offensive.

@@TheDragonGamerTV Just saying, if those rifles are particularly expensive, I dunno, might have almost as much money worth in rifles on that plane as the cost of the plane itself lol One downed plane, potentially twice the supply/money lost, plus a likely-dead pilot. Sure, one can be tried as an experiment, but it just doesn't seem feasible to me.

@@normanmccollum6082 It's mainly a joke my guy. I sure wouldn't want 10 8mm Mauser rounds being fired at me while I'm flying a canvas and wood plane.
