This is amazing, a lost skill that should be taught as a fallback (just like celestial navigation). What's the stigmatizer?

How do you get this rifle in the game?

Can't believe I missed that

Thank you. Looks like a well balanced primer.

This is a really decent series. Concise, informative and well presented. Thanks folks.

@vickersmg what is the source of 3D model used here? Is there an actual drawings of the loader?

What is the uniform was 2:28?

It is fascinating! It would be nice to see the Bren and its operation.

Never knew people can own a machine gun in U.K.

Great video.

Awesome video Dave.

I got my Sten MKII back in 1990. Mine is a Fazakerly with a wire stock. Great SMG!

Cheers Dave enjoyed that one

Shotgun such a the trench gun and the French had a semiautomatic

I would be very pleased if my coworkers presented me with a retirement Sten gun.

Just received my copy. Well written, good quality photographs, clear reproduction of original documents and high production standards. An excellent publication and certainly worth buying.

Awesome

ua-cam.com/video/VyZs-7lVPNU/v-deo.html have you ever checked about this one? this MG3 is at a very low rate-of-fire configuration almost as slow as an M60

Hi Richard, I just read your 2018 report on the 1 million rounds at High Wood 1916. Congratulations on this detailed, brilliant analysis! 👍👍👍 The question I was asking myself was: could a heavy MG34 have done the job of a Vickers? 16,600 rounds per MG34 in 12 hours? = 1400 rounds in 1 hour. That's 6 belt boxes. Each heavy MG34 had 6 barrels. So 10 minutes for a belt box and barrel change. So the answer is a resounding yes. A heavy MG34 could have easily replaced a Vickers and not even water would have been needed. Thank you for your brilliant analysis. Greetings from Germany!

Most interesting, I will keep an eye out for it.

You would have loved meeting my late dad who was a mine of information.Called up at the start of the war as he was in the Middlesex Reg TA.Being too young to go to France he was transferred to 6th Batt,Cheshire Reg in Stockport.Fought in N Africa and Italy until captured.Great tales of POW life that he lived to tell.Made Sgt without ever putting a man on a charge.A real legend to me.

nice one m8

I'm famous I'll be doing autographs at my next event ha ha.

I have been thoroughly enjoying my copy.

thats cool

I really hope I get to the UK some day. There is so much I would like to see.

My great grandfather was a Sergeant Major in the Machine Gun Corps. He trained WWI machine gunners at Grantham. He was a Vickers machine gunner but got shot four times by a MG42 at Passchendaele. He survived the war.

Respectfully you talk about disintegrating links but show non disintegrating Russian 7.62x54r links..............

Hi, great video, my dads oldest brother served in the machine gun corpse, he was awarded the Military Medal in an action at Delvile wood, I assume in Belgium, I am informed that the records were distroyed during the 2nd world war

What happened to bursts of three? 😂

Hi, I found on facebook marketplace 2 boxes on the other day and they were covered in paint so I couldn’t see what it was. As I wanted to restore them I put a paint stripper to clean them up and underneath I found the written names and it was this green one for ‘machine belts mark iii Maxim Vickers’ but unfortunately the green paint came off as I stripped. The smaller one for tools and spare parts I used a water base paint stripper and was able to keep the letters on. They look very nice and sturdy, I’ll keep them to store some tools. Good to see how it was originally. Thanks.

I wonder how the MG34/42 ammo boxes would work for the .303 since it’s shorter than 8mm so will fit. The case is much thicker tho so I’d be curious to know how many .303 could fit in the German boxes. Not for reenactment but for shooting/carry usage do to the offset handles.

007 ?

0:22 My late father was at Anzio he was in the diehards middlesex Regiment 2nd /7th c Company he was a colour sergeant with crown when hostilities ended ,wounded nr bologna by german sniper ,he would have been very familiar with the vickers in which he was in charge of three guns I think ,it was interesting about the chain cloth to stop rattle ,he had many stories of his time in italy, he was one of the lucky ones who survived alot didn't on both sides.

Maybe it's the Maxim gun?????

Good job

My Great Uncle was with the 43rd Wessex Division. Delighted to see this. He was a Sgt Major, Mortars, 5th Battalion Wiltshire Regiment. From Normandy into Holland and Germany till the end.

Thank you.

The indirect fire system using multiple parralled guns is exactly the same principle as that used today by artillery and mortars. My question is did it extend to fire control by a distant observer who could see the fall of shot and call for add/drop and left/right corrections? If so was there an equivalent of a plotter board, or similar equipment, to apply the observer's direction?

Very interesting. I wish this was allowed in Australia. Aside from being able to own handguns, your laws seem better than ours.

It's interesting just how much the technology of sewing machines coincides with guns. Bone needles and sinew thread along side bone arrowheads and bows started it of. Then through time technology advanced them both almost simultaneously. Now electronics and A.I. are advancing both.

how proud is that man rightly so !

Nope,that honour goes to the american m1903 Springfield bolt action rifle.

Australian Major Henry “Jo” Gullett, 2nd AIF went ashore at Gold Beach with the Green Howards carrying his Aussie issued Mark III Lee Enfield which he had with him throughout the war in several theatres. He was one of 13 AIF officers attached to the British Army for the landings. 💪🏻👌 🇦🇺🦘🇦🇺🦘🇦🇺🦘🇦🇺🦘🇦🇺🦘🇦🇺🦘🇦🇺🦘🇦🇺🦘🇦🇺

The Mk 1 Vickers had been in service since 1912 and was still just the Mk 1 in 1944, while all the other small arms we can identify that were there on 6 June landing on Normandy were much more recent introductions or variants. For example, the M1911 was actually the A1 by that point, introduced in 1924.

Give it a few more years and everything will be a section 5 firearm

Facing a Vickers or SMLE's? Lose, lose. Keep yer head down Jerry!!!

I'm trying to put together a 1:6 scale homage to the LRDG & SAS but getting the models for the vehicles and weapons at that scale is like rocking horse shit. So I'm now thinking of 3D printing, but that requires blueprints/diagrams to pull the sizes off. Of course no mechanism details just enough to make a good facsimile. Any help out there would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
