Where can I find a sniper rifle!!?

You Pretty Good !

Who's Josh? :^)

But ocelot never said that ...

Gotta close that gap

YCCCm7 obviously.

Oh fuckkkkkkkk

@@SonsOfLorgar would have to be a custom job as the fite lite has a proprietary handgaurd. But hey it would be cool if they made one I mean it'll be like a 7000 dollar gun but so cool!

With a Fostech Echo

@@thejerk4478 also one of the few platforms where the trigger makes sense

@@thejerk4478 Because it can't be the Franklin Armory stuff...

that'd be a truly magnificent day

@@gmh3 Mad Jack = Fearless

I’d pay to watch that movie.

I find this funnier than I probably should

It's probably worth noting that the MI suits fly most of the time. The kind of weapons they used and their ability to depend computer targeting makes them more like man shaped jet fighters than later depictions of power armor in military sci fi which tend to treat them as just a new, maybe more protected or maneuverable, gunfighters or infantry.

@@wikieditspam that explains the micronukes.

Flamer is what Brits call flame-throwers, although that has been on my to-read list for nearly 20 years, so I can't say how they describe it's use, maybe it is a "heat ray" thing.

@@wikieditspam actually they specifically refrnece in the opening why flying for too long is bad: you'll get sniped. The suits use their packs for boosting their jumps or avoiding a hazard, but theyre trained to use them sparingly. Unless you meant theyre in the air most of the time: drop pods and being picked up after the battle... but thats outside of combat.

I wonder is Ishvesk or Tula still has a full set of PPSh-41 or PPS-43 line in a mountain, ready to pick back up where it left off.

@@paulharveu526 I'm sure they switched over to the AK as soon as they could, but there's probably a salt mine somewhere with the machinery stowed in it.

TFB tv need not comment

A what? I really need to look that up, right? (No, I don't know what a "coaster" is supposed to be - sounds like something you'd take to the freaking beach!)

Easyyy!

If you can't make it out of spent ammunition it won't make an appearance...

He lives in Arizona. You don't need that stuff there.(joke) In all seriousness, it's probably just a drink without ice, which you don't need a coaster for.

@@bubba200874426 It's been wet and cold the last few days here is the AZ. A hot drink is not out of place when it's in the 40s (equal to being below freezing for the rest of you...).

So it does - thanks! I will watch that auction and buy it if the price doesn't go too high.

You heard it here folks, stay away from this auction.

Neat!

Context please?

Baker Tankersley what? Lol what context? Wtf you talking about lmao 😂

It's a smoking jacket

It’s a smoking jacket you uncultured swine! 😂

What if you fall inside a river or something while in armor tho

@@SonsOfLorgar If you really want you can make something float. Even if it's brick out of lead. I'd say some emergency floaters, maybe?

@@SerinaDeMadrigal well if the suits are armoured enough, why ride inside the vehicle. Add fold down running boards to the outside of your APCs and IFVs and use infantry desant tactics from your tanks; or maybe just use the flatbed cargo carrier variants of your APC.

SonsOfLorgar At first I thought you were going to talk about the engineers who designed the river.

that could easily be a whole video series for this channel. Love the idea

That would be a great weekend trip for anyone in New England. You could go to the Colt building in Hartford, then hit the Springfield Armory National Historic Site. Ending at the American Precision Museum. I bet there are other historic gun places along the Connecticut River that I can't think of right now. All that and Vermont beer!

And there are some left handed ones

Still a weapon that should be replaced by an M4 or LMT M4. It had its time. Controls are not the best and its heavy. The cost of the upgrades cant be much cheaper than a new weapon price.

@@wierdalien1 are you sure about that? I have tried to look for pictures or other proof of this and have only come up with anecdotes about left handed SA80s. I know that the British army trains lefties to fire right handed so to actually have left SA80s seems a bit pointless, and wasteful of money which we know the army needs elsewhere!

@@DavidLee-df888 there are a few, as opposed to being 50%. Maybe they made the pattern and went on further.

@@wierdalien1 They are only in the prototypes, the production guns were never made with left handed versions. Supposedly the final iteration of the prototypes had a kit that could convert the guns to fire left handed, but no idea how they did this and I have never seen one so may have only been on paper.

Not in the sense they are talking about though. He's referring to the era of manufacture when making a single gun took a mile long wearhouse, and each piece of the gun took a line of 20-30 single operation dedicated shapers pushing form tools over custom fixtures. The little ejector in a p08 might have taken 20 dedicated machines to produce. This is a very long sight from putting a VFD and a DRO on a bridgeport.

@@GunFunZS 20 dedicated milling machines lined up on a factory floor, each with a tool for one specific operation and an operator, or mechanical linkage running a specific single pass program does not change the facts that pre CNC machine tools are commonly just known as machine tools, and ubiquitous in most places that would have machine tools. I dont see what youre trying to contradict here. If the viewer wants to see a specific machine tool that has been used in some specific assembly line, sure, they can go look for factories that still have them, such as the case with FN as Ian brought up, but there is nothing fundamentally special about "machines that produced guns pre cnc" besides the fact that they may at one point have been in a gun factory. The question was phrased in such a way that there appeared to be a belief that such machines were different in some way from those used to produce any other metal product at the time, and those machines, are still all over the world, doing the exact same thing they did back then.

@@SigneOtter I agreed that old tools are good. Also I don't disagree that machine tools are machine tools. What I was trying to convey is that the kind of tools you are describing as widely in general use aren't what most of the guns were produced with at the big arsenals. They had machines specialized for mass production rather than a one off part. You aren't going to find shapers and huge rifling lathes at your local fabrication shop. You will find a small universal lathe, and an end mill. Sure they are period machine tools, but they won't recreate the methods of production used for mass production in that era. I would love to have any of the above though. My current tooling is very limited.

@@GunFunZS The only gun specific tooling I think you could possibly be referring to is stamping machines, or stamping presses, possibly forging machines with gun specific dies? Even those are universal machines though, that would require only the replacement of a die in order to produce any other given product that requires that machining operation. Guns are not special.

+Geeky Whether you use universal or specialized machine depends on the number of units you're pushing what is cheaper and makes more sense. If it's a small batch,after which you plan to re-tool, universal machine all the way. If you set up a production line in the millions, it is probably a lot more productive to use specialized machines. Also CNC isn't the only thing there was. NC was also a thing.

Quiet, the man is talking

Anon Nymous They used m16s aswell

As far as I know they have never used Hk416s, or even technically "M4s" for that matter. The standard rifle they use is the L119A2 which is a custom Colt Canada C8 IUR, and before that it was the L119A1 which is a custom Diemaco C8 SFW/CQB. They have used standard M16s in the past (mainly A1s but some A2s) but they also used a lot of Diemaco C7s and in the early says commercial AR-15s. Either way, it is not a simple argument to claim that they use the AR over the L85, as the thing is they adopted the AR as their standard platform before the L85 even existed as an alternative to the SLR.

The Royal Marines don't use the L85 anymore either.

@@Vulf_Faolan The Royal Marines are classified as an elite force but not as special forces. In essence they are the Navy infantry but are highly specialised. Perhaps like UKSF they are able to select equipment themselves. Anyone know?

@@Vulf_Faolan That is mostly untrue. The majority of the Royal Marines are equipped with standard infantry weapons. The only exceptions are the Royal Marines Police close protection teams, the Brigade Patrol Troop, and most significantly in terms of numbers some of 43 Commando (what was the Fleet Protection Group). The last of these is a bit scandelous in my opinion, as it seems that there motives for using the L119A1 were more political rather than practical just wanting to be seen as more "special" than other RM units. The reason they gave for why they had to switch was that the L119A1 could more reliably use low velocity frangible ammunition which seems like a good idea for a unit that is designed to fight on ships and protect nuclear assets, but the problem is that as far as i know they have never used frangible ammo so that is clearly just an excuse. Regardless, I imagine that if that was the desired intent the L85 and L22 would actually be a better option as they have adjustable gas blocks with an open setting for adverse condition which would allow them to cycle lower powered ammo. Regardless of all of that, the vast majority of the Royal Marines are still issued L85s, probably somewhere in the region of 95%+.

Isn't 9x39mm already sub sonic? Why make a sub sonic round of an already sub sonic round?

Yep I've already built one. Have to use Unimags and load them to only 5 rounds until they figure out that side of things, but I built a custom suppressor specifically for the caliber, and out of a 7.5 barrel with a 12 inch can, it is quieter in the AR platform cycling than .300 BLK with a can of the same length and design (all legal form 1's). Dialed the gas down with an adjustable gas block and light buffer so it requires only a little force to cycle the action. As long as it catches on, the ammo prices will drop, .300 BLK used to be more expensive than the current Wolf offering.

Just like 300BO there’s super sonic and sub sonic

lol lolo who doesn’t?

Or iron maiden

I think he will like the MG08-15. It's a more functional machinegun, just less functional as a 'rifle'

Dudes, everybody knows the Madsen utterly spanks every other portable firearm available in WWI.
