@@33mavboy Well anyway things are going nuts and as some other video says about streaming and the movie and TV industry it's really a gamble and a disaster out there. Not doing anyone favors.
Oh yes Kowloon walled city from the mission numbers, pretty sure that's on everyone's favorite levels, fighting spetsnaz on the ramshackle makeshift Skyscrapers of the city in the middle of a rain storm is definitely a memory that will live free in my mind till I die.
The G11 may look like it's only made of 2 Squares, but just remember that it's made by German Engineers who were left unchecked. Open that thing up and it looks like a grandfather clock with a countless number of gears and leavers (a would be nightmare for a low ranking grunt to perform a field strip on).
If I recall correctly, that was one of the main reasons why it wasn’t adopted. In my opinion, I can easily see a revamped version where it uses a simpler loading mechanism and a better cooling system being made because caseless ammo is an incredible concept that needs more research.
An understandable downside, but if such a firearm was adopted, wouldn't most units have a reserve of the complex internals available? The G11 basically a plastic armature which holds the much smaller machinery part. If the mechanism breaks down, just collect the internals and ship them to a regiment or division level armorer to sort out, plug in a new one. Of course I have no idea how easy mass production of said complex internal might be, but since it never reached serial production we likely don't have an accurate number. I suppose as always, more complexity breeds more opportunities for failure, and the G11 would be ill-suited to something protracted and dirty like trench warfare or maintained offensives. Wasn't it originally planned for the weapon to equip special operation units who would likely be engaging in much shorter, more focused combat while the G36 would equip the standard 'line' units?
I find it funny how most bullpup designs draw the line at the action and magazine. Like: You already try to do something that is considered weird, and you HAVE to add the most generic action and mag?
just a lil fun fact, jackhammer magazines could be outfitted with a small, integrated explosive device, which could turn a spare mag into an imrovised anti-personnel mine, sending buckshot in the air, wounding the one who triggered it. it never saw combat usage, just like the pancor.
You know.....when he said that, he probably wasn't meaning that you can't kill a bull Moose with bullets, as he himself had killed many Bull Moose with bullets, I think he was inferring that it takes more then the revolver that was used to shoot him to kill a Bull Moose. It was a 38 cal Revolver, though I can't remember what caliber exactly. Though even the 38 special could be fairly weak, even in those days
Particularly because it has become an iconic weapon used by the Security Department and MTF Epsilon-11 designated "Nine-Tailed Fox" before, it was replaced with better assault rifles like the M4 and the HK-416.
Agreed. I have no idea why its here when they could have used the Chauchet machine gun, the Owen SMG(they may have covered this one already), the Le Redoutable revolver, or the BREN machine gun(Barley Rapid, Empty Now).
For the P90, the company that made it were working on a M2 heavy machine gun replacement that would have fired 0.60 caliber bullets instead of 0.50 caliber.
My most sincere congratulations Simple History, well done. These guns are not only unique, they're exquisite to look at as well especially the G11 that Ian of Forgotten Weapons even referred to it as "Kraut Space Magic". The thumbnail was amazing to look at and your Black Ops reference of the mission Numbers was pretty clever.
Some future video ideas 1.Armenian Genocide 2. Rise and fall of gaddafi 3. Assination attempt on south korean president by kim il sung 4. Barbary Pirates 5. Surrender of Robert e Lee 6. Crimea Slave Trade
One problem with the Pancor Jackhammer was that the casettes couldn't be reloaded in the field or back at base. The casettes had to be shipped back to the factory to be reused. The whole idea was kind of flawed.
The P90 is iconic but I think H&K should definitely have another look at the G11, especially with modern advancements in caseless ammo and polymers. Gotta love anything with hyperburst 😅
Because I was born in 1990, and grew up with Stargate SG1 while OG Modern Warfare was making waves, I've got it on my bucketlist to shoot a P90 or PS90 - the only conceivable reasons (apart from every possible gun from World War II) I'd drive down to an open gun range in the Nevada desert.
Seeing the BO1 mission "Numbers" at 3:56 and Woods in the thumbnail (this made me click on the vid) feels like this bloke (the creator) had played too much Call of Duty
The P90 was used by the colonial marines in Battle star Galactica. Which means in another universe the FN P90 was so good it was used even in space age 😂
The G11 was not killed because of its problems but because of the end of the Cold War. At that time every one thought that such a weapon would not be needed anymore.

Yeah as the title of it says they are weird and really you can only wonder what those inventors will think of next.

Yep. It is definitely based off of that BO1 mission where you jump but they added a bridge instead.
The mission is titled 'Numbers'.
You don't say bud
That's just you
The p90 is a good example of nice ergonomics on a bullpup...
CSGO
That's saying something as even among bullpups, the P90 is enigmatic - its magazine being parallel to the barrel (like the G11).
I find it funny how most bullpup designs draw the line at the action and magazine.
Like: You already try to do something that is considered weird, and you HAVE to add the most generic action and mag?
@@TheCell-vx3pk I mean if it works why change it
Fun fact: The P90 is called the RCP90 in Goldeneye on the N64.They had to rename the guns to avoid having to pay licensing fees for every gun.

The G11 is awesome
@@azimisyauqieabdulwahab9401 Yes. But the Shipka is not weird, at all.
Since it was first and Zach Hazard’s loud sigh was stuck in my head i died laughing once more at the pancor jackhammer
I know about a bunch of these guns because of Zach Hazard, love his gun rants
I see you are men of culture as well.
The Pancor Jackhammer: used by Mike, hated by Zach.
The FN P90 is featured in many SCP games, most notably SCP Containment Breach.
Particularly because it has become an iconic weapon used by the Security Department and MTF Epsilon-11 designated "Nine-Tailed Fox" before, it was replaced with better assault rifles like the M4 and the HK-416.
3:56 "What about the Numbers, Clarke?"
The numbers, what do they mean?
Pancor jackhammer was sick gun in fallout
It almost gave Zach an aneurysm, lol
Jackhammer looks like a lazgun strait out of warhammer 40k
Might've been inspiration for it.
The sci-fi weapon it got me thinking of was the pulse rifle from aliens

Jakc o'neil: "this is a wepaon of War, its designed to kill the enemy"😎
Only way to describe the p90
Indeed
For the P90, the company that made it were working on a M2 heavy machine gun replacement that would have fired 0.60 caliber bullets instead of 0.50 caliber.
You mean the 15.5mm? Yeah, the problem is that information on that weapon is so scarce.
@@TheTrueAdept I usually like to say the weapon was to use 0.60 caliber. It is the basis for up gunning the Warthog in my reimagining for Halo.
The FN P90, the primary weapon of the SCP foundation
I was thought they'd use m4s for their penetration and cqb capabilities
And the SGC
I like the cod black ops woods on the thumbnail

Wooo. Starting strong with first one 😂.
Minor allied powers who made a major difference in WWII?
Japan's premiere assassination by hand made fallout double barrel gun 🤔
3:54 that’s literally from Black Ops 😂
The stargate franchise helped with the popularity of the fn p90

Indeed.
Not to mention video games like Far Cry 1 and F.E.A.R. 2, latter of which used the P90 as a base for its main SMG.

I still love the H&K G11 that's my favorite weapon back from black ops 1
We need a video on the Spas-12, Simple History...
The G11 is probably my favourite of these. Such an odd and memoral gun from Black Ops 1
YES! I was very surprised and happy to see the Jackhammer would be on the list. Let alone the first one to introduce

There are Two JackHammers left, one that was incomplete internally was found by the widow of the man who designed them
i love the pancor jackhammer so much, it's so fucking cool
Weapon animations got better yet again - love it.
The thumbnail got a job to do.
*brainwashing activated*
I love how Adler is in the thumbnail despite the G11 not being in Cold War
G11 isn't a weirdly shaped gun, it's a weird gun in general lol
