AK 47

eli dennison Most guns on the battlefield today are from WW2.

Kevin C of course they are remade into better weapons, like the AK-47, it’s been replaced with a lot of newer AK brand weapons, the M-16 is used a lot now, however the M2 Browning started being made in the early 1900s and is still being used today on the battlefield, usually it takes 3 people to hold it, 1 for ammo cause many boxes of 50. Caliber ammo is very difficult to carry with the gun, 1 carries the stock, barrel, and the tripod, the last guy carries some ammo and the rest of the gun assembly

yes yes yes

Some 3rd world rebels still do use this gun. Very rare, but they have been recovered from jihadis in the middles east

Ive heard that insurgents in the middle east are using them.

MG42 in it's modified version MG3 is still in service with today's german armed forces.

German engineering

That was a bad business, Doesn't count/

+Stephen N Because it weighs 10 pounds, More weight usually decreases weapon recoil to an extent. For example: an Ak variant weighs 8.5, and the Mosin-Nagant 91/30 weighs 9.5

+7.62 -39mm Weight was certainly a factor but the design of the recoil system was also part of that. The action is allowed to travel 3.5x the overall length of the cartridge. This allows the bolt carrier to run out on the recoil springs without striking the stop at the back of the buttstock. Even in semi-auto the recoil impulse feels like nothing else, but sounds similar to the AR15.

NavySturmGewehr nice to know, thanks.

What grouping have you had at fully auto and at what range?

+Herceg Bosna 90 it didn't change the outcome of the war though

+КОСОВСКИ ОСВЕТНИК Yes I understood that; my remark was partial ironic indicating that this (r)evolutionary weapon didn't have a big difference on the outcome of WW2. It couldn't beat the war production statistics of the Soviet Union.

+gast128 Quality and technology was beated by numbers and fucking piece of shit worthless garbage allies like the italians romanians hungarians and whoever else was on axis exept finland and Japan.(btw I am a romanian )

+VidandRico The fact of the matter stays that while Germany made good weaponry, they could never win it over the sheer numbers produced by the Soviet Union. In retrospect that was a good thing though, since otherwise the atomic bomb had fall on Berlin besides the other horrifying things the Nazi regime did to humanity. Please come up with arguments next time instead of childish name calling, or a you one of those brain dead gun enthusiast without any connection to reality?

Zenith, the U.S. and NATO, having won the war with 1930s technology small arms, were late to jump on the assault rifle bandwagon. Britain didn't declare the Lee-Enfield bolt-action obsolete until, get this - the 1990's! The U.S. jumped somewhat sooner, with the 1960s M16. Britain's SA80 bull-pup came into service in the 1980s. You are right about national pride; quality is quality, regardless of nation or origin.

Anton Kalashnikov more or less did that

@@GeorgiaBoy1961 You do realise that the British had the 7.62mm FN FAL as their service rifle by 1954 (L1A1 SLR), before the Americans had the M16? The British made the 'jump' to a modern polymer body self loading rifle a decade before the United States. The Lee-Enfield was kept in service only as a 7.62 sniper/marksman's rifle after the L1A1 was widely adopted. .

@@y0Milan - Yes, I am aware of all of those things. What's your point?

@@GeorgiaBoy1961 read your comment? You said that britain didnt replace the Lee-Enfield as its service rifle until the SA80, and America had the M16 while britain retained the Bolt action.

You must've been purposefully going for authoritarian

I agree!

I was just going to post that, but you got there before me!

Yup! Couldn't agree more!

That info is incorrect I believe, I can't remember where I found it, but there was a video (after WW1 I assume) which showed it being used in bursts kind of like a modern AR.

You're wrong. Fedorov is an individual weapon. It was used in exactly the same way as any modern assault rifle. The only difference was in the use of a rifle cartridge. But in this direction, Fedorov outlined the meaning of the modern assault rifle. He used a weaker Japanese cartridge, not a more powerful Russian one. The Germans did absolutely everything the same: they weakened the cartridge and added automatic fire. The difference between these weapons is only in age and the Russian Revolution that prevented Fedorov. And the meaning and purpose of these rifles is absolutely the same.

James Xavier​ That's where they got the idea from supposedly. & People tend to think that this was the first Assault Rifle, but as larry explained, it was technically the Federov. Good luck finding one these lol.

@@FeatheringitBrother Lol the fedorov avtomat is the first assault rifle?! WTF stop deluding yourself. An assault rifle fires an intermediate cartridge and is select fire.

@@Wehraboo-fi9vm are u stupid?

@@Wehraboo-fi9vm , the Iron Cross and Swastika predates Nazi Germany!

Mrgunsngear Channel :D

I think if this weapon had been developed earlier in the war, the designers would have incorporated a wooden fore stock.

+SkyDogsGaming Actually, the M1 sights are pretty simple. And there's a reason that the vast majority of modern iron sights use a rear peep sight like the M1 and not a forward mounted V notch like the StG44 -- the peep sight is a better setup. You get a longer sight radius, it's easier to pickup quickly, and it's more precise. It's a better system.

Darren O'Connor how do I shoot with a V with a pencil in the middle, and a cheerio/fruit loop at the back, v notch sights are very natural, "peep sights" are shit, they have no feild of veiw.

Wow, then you are right, and the vast majority of armies in the world today are doing it wrong. You'd better hurry up and tell them.

That was sarcasm, in case you didn't get it. You solve the field of view problem by shooting with both eyes open, which is the correct way, BTW. Some sights also have a larger aperture for general use, and a smaller one for precision shots. If you use them PROPERLY, peep sights are better.

Really? I never had the slightest bit of problem with a peep sight, or shooting with both eyes open when I was shooting the M16A2, or the M4 as an infantryman in the army. I was in before they started putting optical sights on those things. Yes the rear aperture will be unfocused. You can still center the front post in it with no problem, and have a good field of view -- and I can do it, despite shooting right-handed and being left eye dominant.

Hill Mac Gunworks was supposed to release one like 4 years ago but they have been dark for two years, they have photos of it on their website.

PSA and Hillmac are releasing it this year.

Thanks

+Käseauflauf LOL. NO.

+xX Xx Absoluter Unfug, was du da laberst... "wieso deutschland" - vielleicht weil die Waffe in THÜRINGEN! entwickelt wurde unter Leitung von Herrn Schmeisser, einem THÜRINGER! "ist die waffe von steyr gemacht" - ne, von Walther und von Haenel wurde sie gefertigt. die fertige Waffenplattform wurde dann in anderen Firmen hergestellt, um die Stückzahl zu steigern, auch eben durch Steyr, aber wohl kaum primär. "und wurde für nazis gebaut" - du musst wohl Hauptschüler sein, oder? Selten dämliche Bezeichnung für eine staatlich geführte Armee. Die SS ist nicht die Wehrmacht, das weißt du aber natürlich mit deinem Halbwissen nicht. Stell dir mal vor, der Herr Rommel, Hitlers "Lieblingsgeneral", war nicht Mitglied der NSDAP (kennst du hoffentlich) und war auch nie überzeugter Anhänger derer Ideologie.

+Käseauflauf False.

+Kartoffel Not the first assault rifle in the world (that title goes to the Federov Rifle) however it was the first practical assault rifle (and the first mass produced).

+gooby pls The M2 Heavy Machine Gun is still in us since WW2 I believe.

+Paul Ak 47 is outdated but sill most used assault rifle in the world?

+Firmus Piett The "AK 47" is no longer in use by any military, the AK platform in general is. The original AK 47 was phased out after only two years and replaced with the AKM, which is what makes up most of the guns now referred to as the "AK 47". The original AK wasn't even called the AK47, it was just the Avtomat Kalashnikova, the 47 came later to distinguish it from other models. Nowadays, most militaries don't even use the AKM. Russia switched to the AK-74 in the 1970s, and are in the process of now switching to the AK-103 and AN-94.

***** Ah that's right. Well they change AK models so often it's hard to keep track of it all.

Colton Reeves When I was saying AK 47 I war also refering to its variants. Sorry for not pointing that out.

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"....

I would disagree, the AK has a similar long stroke gas piston that of the STG and people always talk about the M16 recoil spring and how is similar well the AK also has a spring that works in a similar fashion and the similarities in the disassembly process,well the AK46 also had a similar disassembly, and people say that the AK only got the looks of the STG, well my response to that is, coincidence?. My point here is that the STG has influenced most if not all assault rifles including the AK but that doesn't mean that the STG didn't had any external influences on its own design either, I'm sure it did.

Yes, that's true

Both are copies of STG 44.

I personally see elements from the FN series rifles copied from this design

M16: (sneaks past the two)

And yet they still lost. Twice.

Semantics, he also said "that's where HK got it", so it's a redundant statement.

no, the real predescessor from the modern assault rifles was the1917 Fedorov Avtomat (6.5mm arisaka)

The federov avtomat and the ribeyrolles 1918 both predate the stg 44 by like 30 years

The predecessors were the Madsen Rasmussen 1888 and the Fedorov Avtomat.

the ancestor of all assault rifles

Janky tilting bolt system, wobbly magazine, main spring in a fragile buttstock, ergonomics all over the place... ************PERFECTION************

Only the design

+zIVoorteX PSN The only similarities are the cartridge and the long stroke gas piston, thats about it.

marin khan finally, a normal comment, AK47 is totally different then,SG 44,they look simular, to a point M14 looks like AK and who caress anyway! AK 47 is the most successful weapon ever created, bar none!

I believe there were some prototype intermediate full auto rifles. But they were just obscure prototypes. STG44s were produced over 400 thousand, the name assault rifle comes from here. The looks and the controls come from here and the tactics and the concept comes from here. For all purposes this was the first assault rifle, even though some prototypes existed before it.

Some firearms historians - such as Tim Mullin, former U.S. Army infantryman and U.S. Marshall - consider the American M-1 Carbine, especially in its fully-automatic M-2 variant, as the first assault rifle. Whether one believes that probably revolves around whether one considers its pistol-derived .30 Carbine cartridge as a true intermediate or not. If memory serves, Larry Vickers himself calls the M-1 Carbine the world's first PDW - personal defense weapon. Obviously, the MP44 is the prototypical assault rifle from which all the modern days designs trace their heritage.

Naw man, the first Assault Rifle was obviously the 1860 Henry Rifle.

The ribeyrolles 1918 would like to have a word with you

full auto *fires in bursts with useless fucking slomo and cuts*

m16 has more things in common.... like the mag release, magwell, long recoil spring, slightly the position of the safety.... the only thing the ak has in common with the stg is the stamped construction and the sights. and the sights were kinda standard stuff. the cartridge you also could argue is similar, but yet different.

vinish shetty:not even close.

Same German designer (Hugo Schmeisser) the story of the Russian tanker gone weapon designer was pure propaganda.

evidence?

KEY EHEK Mikhail Kalashnikov himself, (though he just stated that Hugo "helped" him somewhat), and, in the fullness of time, documentation yet to have been made public.You could say, well as for the argument of documentation that is rather weak, perhaps, but my bet is that the documentation will prove this once and for all. It will take time though, because it would destroy the legacy of Mikhail Kalashnikov.

+Ostkreutz Rox Americans don't even try to pronounce these things...

+Ostkreutz Rox Well in order to pronounce it correctly as a non-German you would have to say it in a arbitrary "German accent".

***** No

Ostkreutz Rox No? I've studied several languages, one of the most basic things in every class is to learn pronouncing letters in a different tone, or an "accent" I guess you could say.

***** You're right but that's way too technical, the only thing you'd have to do is listen to it several times. It's not that hard. I'm not one who runs around and corrects people's pronounciation but when you're so in love with an assault rifle you might as well pronounce it correctly. Anyways who gives a fuck
