Blossom Russo if only the scope were closer to the cheek

DarkDove_ if only it costed less than a luxury brand new Rolls-Royce or Maibach🤣

Agreed. Has that retro futuristic appeal

I held a bring back( maybe a 44 not sure been a long time ) years ago. I do not know if it was registered or not I didn’t ask nor did I care . There was still a lot of cool stuff around back before the bastard Regan

The bolt has a sweet sound!

Hi great have you this exemplar?can send photo messenger?

@@josiderwilderer5757 Hi, i dont really use messenger. I can check through my photo archives- maybe i can find it, after all so many years have passed.

imagine someone gets into the room at1:41 :/ :D

Martymoar I thought the same thing lol. The floor buffer walks through the doors and sees a man sweeping the room with a historic rifle at a rapid pace, his eyes lock with Ian’s and both men observe a look of terror in the others. Ian blushes and in relief of the awkward tension both men burst out laughing at the absurdity of their situation. Just another day at the auction house.

I hope he was making "Pew pew pew!" sounds 😂

Joshua Kim He’s making money bro damn near advertising their guns for them and extra expertly I might add!!... K-9 0Ut...

The m16 is a flawed design

robert k sure is

robert k how?

ive had family members in the military that have used the m16 and they hated it it would jam alot it was a hassle to clean it was just something made to be made in mass numbers

robert k thats why the m16a1 was made.

The stock and the sights, yes.

It's like owning a classic car and not driving it

+Haphazardization that was true. it was officially released but too late bcos the allied forces were in the doorstep. from what i can understand, he refused to commission the mbk42's for no apparent reason.

+Jone Cuntapay I heard he refused it because he didn't like the look of it.

Flo Huber he is indeed, a military idiot.

+Jone Cuntapay On the other hand, he had good reasons for some of his wacky behavior in regards to military decisions. He'd learned in WW1 that the brass and rear escelon people were essentially in a different war than what was really going on. And, seeing himself as a frontline soldier, had issues with them and thought he knew the right way to go about things. The military command even in ww2 was for the most part filled with "veterans" from ww1 who had been artillery officers or aides to generals far behind the front. So he often overrode their decisions based on that or personal dislike and opinions; unfortunately for him, this was a much different kind of war.

farmerboy916 =i almost forgot that he was once a soldier in the previous war. your comment have validity and facts abouts hitler's military desicions.

Uraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

+Jack Finnigan HELLO

Yes, making it from 7.62 NATO is not a bad solution. Today, 8x33 is made by one or two companies - Prvi does it, and I think FNM in Portugal as well.

The ZF41 was not designed to be a sniper's optic, but rather a DMR (designated marksman) optic. It was meant to give you just that extra bit of capacity to take more precise shots. In that role, it's didn't fare too badly. However, because of the lack of larger scopes, it was pressed into service for snipers. They (predictably) hated it because it wasn't intended to do the job they needed it to.

Forgotten Weapons You discussed the optimistic 800m range on scope. While a precision hit with that rifle/scope may be extremely difficult, landing bullets in that area is not, and while optimistic for hitting anything specific, dumping bullets in general area helpful for suppressive and harassment firing, at least that's an old WW2 vet told me about max sight setting on M-1. ( He related an episode where Germans were out of practical rifle range, he said about 1/2 mile away, w/ US troops seeing them through binoculars, sunning on a wall. Several of his men set Garand sites, simultaneously emptying clips. Apparently some bullets landed near them since GIs watched them scatter.)

Forgotten Weapons Nice to get some extra info from you! :)

diasirea 800m might be somewhat feasible for the .30-06, 8mm Mauser, .303 British, or something like that, but for 8mm Kurz? We're talking about a round that's weaker than 7.62x39, and even THAT round would be considered vastly underpowered for reaching 800m. An SKS-45 would be very lucky to make hits at 500m on a perfectly still, standing, man-sized target. For 800m? You'd probably want to bring volley fire back lol That sounds like what the Americans did, except they had 150gr going 2800 ft/s. An SKS-45 would have something like 123gr going maybe 2400-2500 ft/s at best. The 8mm Kurz bullet would be going perhaps 2200-2300 ft/s. By the time they reached even 600m, they'd be going subsonic. 8mm Kurz might be as little as 800 ft/s at 600m, so at 800m it'd probably be ballistically weaker than .38 Special at the muzzle. Even M855 from a 20" M16A4 barrel would be lucky to maintain the ballistics of .22lr at 800m. M193 5.56 at 800m would be undoubtedly weaker than .22lr at the muzzle. M2 Ball .30-06 though... 150gr going around 1500 ft/s won't be a very good time, certainly a worse time than 123 or so grains going perhaps 700-800 ft/s.

NormanMatchem Still sounds pretty lethal to me.

what about the Fesorev Avtomat. I think I got that right

Wood stock, sheet metal front grip.

Mihalis Benko AK-47 a MILDLY upgraded version of the MKb42? Um, NO. The AK-47 design is different internally and superior is every way except in accuracy. Apples and Oranges. The AK-47 was developed seperately and later, and only the general arrangement of the gas piston and overall outward appearance are similar to the German assault rifles. I own both an AK-47 and an MP-44. They are years and worlds apart in many ways. The AK is far more reliable, lighter, shorter, and by far simpler, with a rotating bolt locking design instead of the German tipping block design. If you want to see other examples of the German bolt locking system, look at the SKS, and a variation of the same system in the Czeck vz 58. People often think that the StG-44 rifles led to directly to the AK-47. It's just not so. They share a few common features, but not much. The AK is an EXCEPTIONALLY clever mix of many features from several older guns combined with some new features, all carefully blended into a simple design. That's why it's so popular.

DARIVS ARCHITECTVS I think you misunderstand Mihalis' comment.What he means is that the MKb42 concept and philosophy of use has set the example in the way modern gun makers designed their own Assault Rifles.

What you say is true, but I think he could have been a bit more clear. He said it was a mildly upgraded version, which is not the same as saying both guns were designed to fulfill the same role.

Mikhail Kaleshnikov has always been rather transparent and earnest about his influences. In one interview he compares himself to Marconi "inventing" the radio. Which is to say he admits he didn't create anything brand-new he just put existing ideas together in a way that made them more usable/popular. He has always maintained that the operation on the AK is most closely borrowed from the M1 Garand. Which it looks nearly identical too, just flipped upside down. While the saftey comes from the Remington Model 8 and the cartridge was already standardized prior to his involvement. The intermediate cartridge is really the only thing that the AK shares with the STG/MKb designs, and again, that was already decided before Kalishnikov had any design approved.

Erik Frimann those were made to fit the test fire stand for Stg45. They were not meant for military use.

wait a minute. so was the mkb42 the first assault rifle and not the stg44? (not including the Russian ww1 assault rifle)

+Bananna They are all prototypes. The Russian AVT-40 was just a battle rifle (as they use rifle calibre cartridge) and the Mkb 42 is a prototype. The STG-44 is still the first true assault rifle.

I have....I was shaking

Actually, the MKb/MP/StG series of rifles used a much different locking system than the G3. I have a video on the origins of the G3, and how the StG-44 led to it: Last Ditch Innovation: The Development of the Gerat 06 and Gerat 06H Rifles

Forgotten Weapons But weren't some of the people who built the StG44 later working for Mauser on the Gerat 06, and then of course later on the G3 ? If you look at the part were the metal meets the stock, it is external identical on those 3 rifles, it looks identical on the Stg the Gerat and the G3, is what i meant. Not that the G3 had the same action as the StG 44, but that it was designed by (more or less) the same people. I'm sure you'll agree that the G3 was ahead of its time, it would have been a lot further ahead of its time if NATO hadn't forced the designers to use an outdated cartridge.

Douilleur Lamagouille Yes, some of the same people were involved, and the external layout of the guns is the same. The locking mechanism came from some experiments with the G43, though, not further development of the StG series. As for being ahead of its time, I think that the early CETME variants (along with their rather interesting cartridge) are more innovative than the G3.

If I could have any historical firearm to hang on my wall, it would be one of these. It just looks so interesting and different from anything else at the time, especially from the side.

Umut Yok I saw this video also because I love the Maschinenkarabiner 42 (H) (Mkb 42 (H)) from RO2! ;D
