I'm Heavy Weapons Guy... and this is my weapon: she weighs one hundred fifty kilograms and fires two hundred dollar, custom-tooled cartridges at the ten thousand rounds per minute... it costs four hundred thousand dollars to fire this weapon for twelve seconds.
When I was in Boot Camp they still used oversized M-16s as punishment. If a private would lose or leave their rifle behind, they would then have to carry one of the oversized rifles around for a few days. They always looked absolutely miserable lugging those monstrosities around everywhere.
@@longiusaescius2537I can imagine it depends on the teacher and how much the recruits need to know- teaching them up to the tiny inner parts like springs, extractors etc. would presumably be easier with an oversize model, but I learned how to use the l98 and l86 with cadets just fine for range use handling the real but unloaded weapons
The British had an option to replace the hull machine-gun with the Boys anti-tank rifle on their universal carriers, and also gave the Soviets 1000's of them through lend-lease. And don't forget the Eargishplttenlauderboomer for oversized guns, lol.
I love that they had attention to detail, like look at 6:14 when the soldier takes a bullet out of the box on the gun, they didn't have to do that but they did. ❤simple history for doing small stuff like this
As a guy from Northern Ireland, I was curious if you would ever consider doing a video discussing the Troubles in NI, from the 60s to the 90s. Could make a good long video or series. There’s honestly plenty of material for discussion.
In France we had some kind of Punt gun too, it was called "La canardière" it was illegal after an accident where a cow had a Bowling sized hole after a missed shot.
This might not be a popular fact, but the Persians also used the Jezail muskets and later Musket rifles during the Russo-Persian wars. Even though the Persians ultimately lost their possessions in Northern Iraq to the Ottomans, and the Caucasus ranges, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan to Russia in 1722, the Persians did inflict massive casualties on the Russians because of the Jezail "rifled" muskets.
Thank you for this. Not sure it's the right niche but if anyone's interested in all round warfare I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series. Keep up with the great content
Some history of Jezail: This weapon dated back at least to early 18th century in Iran(known as Persia back then) It was called Jezayer or Jazayer And it was one Nadershah's favourite weapons as the jezayerchi(infantry welding Jezayer) was his elite force
8:10 A matchlock muskets range was often just over 600 metres Flintlocks like the brown Bess are closer to 800 and the jesail was most likely able to shoot another 50-150 meters past that The accurate range of a flintlock musket in which 90 percent or more hitrates are found on single targets it is around 80 metres so the jesail could most likely hit most rounds at around 100 metres, both nearly always used past the accurate range I am surprised early muskets werent mentioned, arquebusses start popping tf off around 1510 and with little way to increase strength of the iron muskets got massive, often given a fork rest to increase precision when aiming
2:01 .. Canada Geese were at one time said to be totally extinct due to flocks not seen migrating! Well they made a come back and are a nuisance bird now. The meat is not very desired, people using it for food often mix it with pork, to make sausages, just to use the birds up. It is illegal to let even legally hunted game meat spoil ,in anyway. .
There's also a wall gun, an extremely oversized gigantic musket either mounted on a wall or carried by 2 men. It's used to repel attacks and could be used as a makeshift punt gun if the enemy are close enough. "What's this?" "Its a wall gun" "Is it supposed to be mounted on a wall or to destroy walls?" "good question" Anyway: here's the wall gun firing: ua-cam.com/video/UEyHZUW9LFE/v-deo.htmlsi=4W58QViipLfsQOEz
My favourite ridiculous ammunition is the Eargesplitten Loudenboomer, which is a .378 Weatherby cartridge necked down to .22LR. It fires at up to 4600f/s, a .50 BMG is only 3000f/s. It was only an experimental cartridge but set the .22 world speed record.
7:10 don't forget that the Barrett is also used by EOD technicians to safely detonate a bomb during bomb disposal missions. Sad you didn't mention the 700 Nitro Express elephant gun, and I'm sad that you are sponsored by something that will destroy your job

When I was station in South Korea I was tasked with cleaning a warehouse where they still had some of those WW2 training aid guns. I remember the M22 most significantly as it had rounds that could be loaded into it. I always hoped they would end up in a museum or something. They were just there gathering dust and forgotten by anyone with authority.
My favorite example is the tank. When you wield a gun the size of several SUV's, on a turret so heavy that it's mounted on an oversized tractor tread, you know you've got a big gun. A damn mobile cannon.
The Ukrainian military has apparently armed squads with what can be described as modern day anti-tank rifles. They can't actually pierce the armor of tanks or even most armored vehicles. Instead, they're used to punch holes in logistics trucks, damage radar equipment, and on rare occasion eliminate infantry. All this while upwards of a mile or even two miles away. It takes two men to carry them. They hit their target then swiftly stow the gun in the back of a truck and drive away.
With the amount of research that goes in these videos and the amount of subscribers and views it would be really nice to also give the sizes in metric. even just in text in the video.
I remember about a year ago, i was looking for a Deactivated M1 Garand to have as a neat thing to own, and i saw one of those massive training guns, with the side cut out, i thought it was hilarious
I think the oversized for training guns were meant as demonstration not for the soldiers to train with them. Their numbers do not collaborate on any use during training. I believe it was oversized soo the instructor could show the thing to multiple people at once in groups.
I was looking forward to seeing Finland's Lahti L-39 20mm anti-tank rifle. It is a rather epic weapon and was widely used, successfully, during the Winter War.

The punt gun is basically a cannon-sized shotgun.
Bf1 can have some huge guns wielded by the player
Surprised SH didn't mention the Tankgewher as the grandpappy of AT-rifles.
0:26 IS THAT HEAVY TF2-
How does lower recoil improve accuracy with a muzzle loaded weapon?
The punt gun on the boat its like a military ship😊
I seen the oversized BAR in a naval museum of all places
You really got to hit that p sound on punt gun.

I’ve seen an enlarged m2 machine gun for training in the Kelowna Veterans Museum
can punt guns also be anti tank guns if there was a single round bullet?
Poland had Kb. ur. wz. 35
Ive seen an oversized BAR and an oversized Garand in the museum at Fort Harrison
Also, anti material rifles are also sometimes used to destroy the sensors of a tank, making it useless.
