    Welcome to our new content. As the Weapon Detective, we investigate modern weapon systems of the Second Cold War. The Weapon Legends is about the older weapon systems. In our videos, we tell their epic stories, which made them a legend. The Weapon Legends investigates these stories, reads between the lines, analyse, and tells the untold. In our videos, you can find technical information, historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. Let the wisdom of history show us what the future would be like. Let’s investigate the veteran weapons of the past together.

      They are good for 5000 rounds, made of good Swedish steel, just like a high-powered rifle, do not lie upon me. The lifetime of a barrel is closely related to the steel composition and the burning temperature of the powder. Swedes have allways had a good knowledge of both, since the 1600's
      Gunpowder and barrels.
      Our Licenced 1898 Mauser Rifles were way better than the Germans dito as well.

      Unlike the FH-70, this is self propelled. Its not fast but can move on its own for shoot-snd-scoot.
      It also has a mechanical loading assist system, an arm which can carry upto 3 projectiles at a time.
      Late, India has converted some of the howitzers to a 45 calibre standard rather than the original 39 caliber.
