One Doomed Spacemarine i think u mean german engineering

That could be arranged!

There's two sides to that spectrum. You have these occasions, then you have the stuff most people haven't shot for a darn good reason. Anyone got a Jennings or a Bryco?

Please don't be reddit thanks!

I mean, they are not wrong...?

Taistelukalkkuna true. I have to say It does sound good

🤣🤣🤣... I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Music to my ears, at least.

I like that Ian's shot so much rare and oddball stuff that he's initially unsure if he's had a go on one before.

There is a fair bit that he hasn't fired. Now if he hadn't handled it before that would be surprising.

Im still amazed he managed to shoot a full auto original 2nd pattern fg42, their stupid rare and expensive

Ian’s the one person who wouldn’t be sure if they’d shot an extremely rare gun.

i need 10h of this

remeber they were shotting a steel target at 20

but mp 18 is pretty crappy it jams like every 10 shots

@@Soap.-- Still better than having to bolt every single shot. It is also shorter so soldiers can use this for close combat.

@@Soap.-- Tell that to the allied soldiers who got slaughtered when the elite german troops attacked with these. For its time its a great weapon.

"Hey guys we just made an awesome new gun/tank/aircraft..." *Surrender was declared*

@@martins.4240 Pretty much, guess we'll have to wait till WW3 for the new best thing.

@@FinishPlayer I rather not have the new best thing if that means there is no WW3 !

@@V-Lenzr i support that!

They made things earlier too, such as the interrupter gear developed by Anthony Fokker allowing aircraft to shoot through the arc of their propeller, making it much easier for the pilot to aim his guns. Arguably equally pivotal, but the difference it made was not in who one the war, but in how the war was fought as the allies quickly captured a working example and copied it. I think its fair to say that this weapons introduction earlier in the war would not have been an instant win for Germany, but would have accelerated weapons development by the allies to counter the threat. Maybe WWI would have finished with the development of the assault rifle instead of WWII? Interesting to think about at least.

You're technically not wrong :D

Indeed, like if it was a machine pistol

And sword bayonet

No, it looks German, as do their British copies...

@@trauko1388 You're missunderstanding. The changes the British made to make the Lanchester were very "quintessentially British", is what he is saying.

@@nialltomy15 You both clearly need a thesaurus since you dont get how wrong "quintessentially" is to describe a barely modified copy. German gun, German look, as British as a Domino's pizza from London...

@@trauko1388 You are still misunderstanding. No one will dispute the fact that the Lanchester was a copy of the MP28. The original comment was simply stating the interesting changes the British made to the design, such as the Lee Enfield style buttstock, brass magazine well and sword bayonet were 'quintessentially British'. No one is claiming it is a British design.

Hmmmm. I thought it was called the Chicago typewriter because gangs used it to send messages, but that certainly doesn't fit with modern folklore. I fired an old Thompson, full auto, years ago and it didn't sound like a typewriter to me. I didn't hear one echoing through the south side of Chicago back in the day, certainly before my time. But I've heard a number of full auto firings from various distances in cities and unfortunately I very much doubt that any were Thompsons, but they all sounded like echoing rapid fire to me. I'm skeptical. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ PS (edit) - I learned to type on an old Underwood (still have it) that is certainly similar to the typewriters of the day. The IBM Selectric didn't exist when the Thompson got its nickname.

A Schreibmaschine if you will! :)

@@Getpojke Well, actually the known Companys sometimes build typewriters too, i believe i´ve seen a Mauser typewriter (a true one!) oh bye the way, it´s correctly eine Schreibmaschine mit Schnellwechsel-Blei-Lettern Satz (aka typewriter with quick change lead types reservoir ;-)

From what I understand the weapon fires too fast for the snail mags to feed correctly

@@MongyBongy Ok I understand the problem. The trommels were made for the LP08. To be used in Mp18 you need a small adaptater.

Weak spring. And no.

And the BAR starts to disassemble itself 🙂

And the pic on the right is a reenactor from a 1990s machine gun book. That pic was changed to B&W and spread around the internet as a WWI photo. There are no pictures of these with front line units during the war, that’s how short a time they were used in action.

I think I clicked faster for the Pancor Jackhammer or the G11, but this one is up for the fastest click.

That plate was 70% of the noise.

Check out C&Rsenal, lots of history on the development and use in WW1

@@niel9612 I will rewatch that episode tonight. I do not recall them discussing a post-war conversion to stick mags.

@@Choobus7 I think they mention it quickly near the end. But they normally don't really go post war.

You're in luck, that's the topic of a future video!

InRangeTV sweet deal!! They are such amazing shooters.

Don't think that there's a semi on it, just like the Swedish kpist 45/b. Semi is how fast you can release the trigger.

Plus its a trillion kg so you dont have to worry about controllabolity whatsover5

Weak spring.

If I’m not mistaken, it’s a trade off between controllability, and rounds on target. I’m a combat situation, you only have a very short period of time where a target is actually presented to you, so it’s important to be able to dump as many rounds as you can into the target in the extremely short timeframe you have to do it. So it became a trade off between ammo consumption, controllability, and probability of hitting a target in a short amount of time

Sander van Duren That’s exactly what I was taught, especially from those who fought before the mass adoption of assault rifles. 8x33 and 7.62x39 changed things up tremendously, and I think 7.62x33 (.30 Carbine) helped as well, though the last would have benefitted from a different rifle. Light enough to be useful in short ranged automatic fire and heavy enough to reach out to normal combat distances. Things changed again thanks to a new generation of intermediate cartridges and then the proliferation of body armour and optics.

Rate of fire also depends on the weight of bolt. The heavier the bolt is, the longer it takes for the bolt to cycle between shots. As time passed, technology advanced, SMGs became a thing, and smaller calibers became more common, some guns adopted a rather light bolt. However, rate of fire can also be boosted or slowed down with the use of extra mechanisms. For example, the German MG42 featured a mix of blowback and gas operation to push rate of fire to 1200 RPM (20 shots per second), and HK UMP40 and 45 feature a mechanism which, instead, slows rate of fire down to keep the gun controllable because .40 and .45 caliber have quite a kick.

I also think it has a lot to do with manufacturing processes as well. With milled construction and expensive designed parts you can get exactly what you want, but if you're changing things like bolt weight, spring strength, overtravel distance etc. because it saves costs in some way, you often change the controllability of the weapon as well.

Since an action is purely mechanical, at full auto it will go as fast as it possibly can, depending on mass, travel distance of the bolt and so on. Cheap, light, simple, small parts will cycle extremely fast. Slowing it down can be quite difficult because you have to either slow down the bolt by adding mass to every part of the gun, make it travel longer with a longer action or adding often over engineered, complex parts that artificially slow everything down. It just so happened that cheaper, simpler, mass produced parts ended up being more successful. Pointedly, the decisions for which one to chose were not made by the people actually using the guns but by those paying for them.

This.

Was this a 7.63mm or 9mm version?

@@tombearclaw On the receiver or somewhere on the gun, I did see a 9MM on it. So I would suspect 9MM. Edit: Actual location of that 9MM marking was the magazine. My mistake.

So tired of people referencing that game, lol.
