Someone report that grandma, she was clearly using aimbot
I wish I had more than one thumbs up to give for your comment.
Nah , she just had a good gaming chair...
Or, she’s been practicing a *lot/has natural talent….*
Grandma was expelled for using an illegal program
Seems like a skill issue to me
Shoutout to the guy behind John at 2:52 Clearly has some experience with weapon control since he lowers it as John walks by then raises it again.
Experience in weapon control or not, if he weren't instructed to do that by the director, he singlehandedly saved this scene.
@@campfiresnlasguns I can believe it. For techies, it's the same as looking down or away without realizing it, whenever someone near you is entering their password.
My thoughts exactly
We get it. You're gay for guns
You've got to give it to Grandma too... she was getting center mass shots in rapid succession, on the move, with one hand.
That was the most incompetent special forces team I’ve ever seen😂getting quickscoped by an old lady with a revolver while standing out of cover
Facts. Plus special forces usually have a lot more coordination than that...
Feel like they were ordered to leave her alive as she was the man in the high castles weakness
If that were real life she would be long dead before she even flead
They are a "nazi" special forces team, so they have to be represented as incompetent on some level.
@@newellh I've had a look at it again and I have to agree. They literally shoot her leg. They've used accurate, lethal shots on the rest of the targets but her, they shoot the leg. Smith then moves in and interrogates her. They were definitely there to take her alive. Hence why they suffered casualties. Though her aim is questionably good.
@2:50 I’m surprised they bothered with small details like that. The trooper moves to not muzzle sweep Smith.
@@Walter_Stroud I was thinking the same, a lot of those guys moved like done it for real.
That is surprising considering the action is so bad and unrealistic
@@retingo7940 How would you know
@@retingo7940 Which parts specifically?
Actor knew what he was doing and didn't have to be told to do it. Production companies often farm out scenes like this to companies that provide advisors, along with both the prop weapons and extras who handle them, who are often veterans themselves.
This lady is a tremendous shot to tag guys at 25 yards away and more single handed with a snug nose revolver. Like...impossible shots.
Impossible nah improbable fuck yea for shure.
Yet they add a small accurate detail at 2:52 of the guy in the back not muzzle sweeping
I used to shoot with an old British serviceman in his 70's, many years ago, he would always hit inside a 6 inch circle at 25 yards with whatever handgun you gave him, except .44 magnums, he found those in a short barrel were too much for him, he was good but we also had a father and son team who shot competitively, with their custom revolvers they would hit the 10 ring almost every time at 50 meters, so yes difficult but not impossible
“Snug nose”?
@@FastEddy1959 *snub nose. Autocorrect.
John smith carries this series soooooo much
definitely my favorite character. every scene with him is riveting. He's noy physically large but his presence is so intimidating
Deliciously evil to the core.
@@UltimateBargains Efficiently evil
@@UltimateBargains survivalist evil
@@justinlee2300 it's a real shame they ruined his character at the end
fun fact: that VTOL is actually based on a real prototype produced by the Dornier company around the same time In reality.
Dornier Do 31
Do-31 was postwar, built in the 60s. The prototypes are in various museums
@@JGCR59 well, the series is set in the 1960's, so it is fitting, and I actually like that the show's producers used some real-world vehicle designs instead of making everything up.
@@Soundwave3591 What is not fitting, is to see a flawed design, advanced as some sort of "alternate reality as political commentary," as if the powers that be, quashed sound technology. The Do 31 got a fair run at development and like many early jump/jets, was just too weak. It's undoing were the lift pods and those would have had to go.
Seeing an image of that looming monster over their heads evokes the idea, "gawd, could a super Reich that defeated the Western powers, have been stupid enough to cram that design through?" Not a freaking chance. Some weird alternate reality where Nazi's won and those weak ass little RB-162's could lift more than their own weight...
So for me, it breaks the illusion, for a cheap shot at relevance.
@@aardque Reason for that development couldn't go further because of the dead weight of the lift engines like the other experimental VTOL projects. The dead weight leads to not economically worthwhile but if in the alternate world wouldn't have problem with oil price, why would they not interested to continue it.
For a scared geriatric, she's a phenomenal marksman...
Yea that was a bit rediclious
But she didn't have the presence of mind to grab the machine gun on the ground in front of her just before she got to the barn.
For a Navy seal that would be good shooting
Takes a bullet to the leg pretty well, too!
The best pistol shooter in the world is 66 years old. Don't discount someone just because of their age.
The source material was great, but man, they really blew a lot in creating this series. The writing, direction - this scene shows it well. Kudos to the actors, costumes, etc.
Two words: Amazon Studios
I mean the source material, from a story perspective, was pretty good. The actual alternate history is absolute nonsense.
Oh sure@@gamm8939 but the material should've yielded more in better hands/with a good overall direction. It's a shame.
I'll never get tired of how smooth that barn-clearing was.
Agreed, smooth as hell.
tbh, it was kinda sloppy..? say we assume the direction of from the pointman's POV as forward (so using his right/left hand as opposed to the viewer's):
1st man did the right thing sweeping this blindspot to his right first
but 2nd man shouldnt assume that just because 1st man probably vision swept forward and left that its clear and instead he should've did what 1st man did but to his left. also his weapon should've been already raised and pointed just over the 1st man's shoulder even before he enters the barn, like 1st man. man 1 and 2 basically has to be almost mirroring each other.
man 1 and 2 should keep their sectors as the lady does not seem like an immediate threat in the time frame the entire team entered the barn so:
man 3 then could keep forward sector, disarm the lady while man 4 keeps his gun trained on the lady while 3 disarms.
or you can also have 1st man disarm if man 3 can take up 1's sector like what he did, but the fact that they have 2-3 man train their guns on the lady and not the sectors they're supposed to be watching is rather complacent. and complacency is what gets you killed in cqc.
but I just judged this based on what I can guess the rest of the out-of-shot parts of the barn looked like and I assume theres much more space and blindspots left of the door.
Was pretty bad followed by him reaching for the revolver with his hand
can we take a moment to appreciate that old lady just shot a guy one handed with a .38 at like, 50 yards.
Hollywood fetishizes firearms. Because no one in Hollywood really knows about small arms they ascribing way more power. Insanely accurate shots at absurd ranges, while running, people flying backwards when shot with small caliber pistol, unlimited ammo, etc. And it is a .32 not a .38
Well, lets say she poked Him into some Pattern Cover, the pure impact of the Bullet let him stumble;) on the other HAnd,m what do we know, not beeing in their Reality;)
I love these little details the show has, like the German Concorde, or this VTOL.
The vtol actually exists you know, it's the dornier do35 if i recall correctly
@@vicentecarmo1964 its the Dornier Do 31
@@vicentecarmo1964 I just read the Wiki article. Apparently it was actually a huge success from a technological standpoint, but the German Army (Air Force) changed it's requirements and didn't need a transport VTOL anymore. Neill Armstrong and NASA test flew the Do-31 and said it performed quite well in the air and was a pleasant aircraft to fly.
@@denishnathaniel7727 u stand corrected, i was indeed under the impression it was the wrong number
@@generalripper7528 yes, i am aware of its history, but thank you anyway
The first 2 seasons of this show are a damn masterpiece.
I agree, and then it turned into complete rubbish....
Story fell apart after that. Shame.
after that they were more concerned about pushing political and social ideologies
Really? The first two seasons were rubbish as well. As a Korean American I find the treatment of the Japanese as if they were in any way better or less murderous than the Nazis as repugnant. if they wanted any historical accuracy or even some believability, the Japanese would be mass murdering all the prisoners of war and dragging millions of girls between 12-50 off to be ra ped to death. and intentionally starving tens of millions as well
1:57 “ahh he said it, he said it!” - Peter Griffin
one of the scenes of all time
This show deserves more attention
And the last season deserved better writting..
the second season was so boring
4:15 Dornier Do 31 The transport jet which can do the VTOL but never went to mass production in real life.
Wasnt there an antena at the nose
@@user-jx4ek6jd7e That was just for prototypes, serial versions wouldnt have one
I thought it looked like a dornier plane with the really big engines
@@user-jx4ek6jd7e the needle at the front was for testing only, for like testing air pressure and all that
Stop larping
Despite the sharp shooting granny, theres just an ominous feeling when john smith turns up, a true feeling of dread, which i think the producers got spot on, an upto date SS feeling, of control, dominance, and very very careful planning. And some very good acting as well.
AH HE SAID THE NAME OF THE MOVIE IN THE MOVIE
Roll credits

WE'RE IN THE BLACK, BOYS, WE CAN GO HOME
break 4th wall !
TITULAR REFERENCE
2:50 how is that guy cognizant of lowering his firearm to avoid friendly fire, but the rest of the team got blown off by a grandma? if they paid attention to the little detail here, they should've kept it throughout the whole scene.
John Smith character was destroyed. This could've went another way but nope. Game of thrones it
Maybe they want to Work on Star Wars, Like the Producers of GoT.
@America its fucking dumb. I hate this shit.
The people Loved Smith for who He was behind the Nazi. A father who Had done evrything to protect his Family.
They had destroyed many Things in this Last Episode. The NA Reich had full automoty but still was ordered to do things.
They had great Potential to fill a season with the requncquest of American and the Nazi ideolgy.
@@hypnofrezzefan I think they must have hired sjw from Netflix, like the day after the show was cancelled they burned all the nazi stuff and celebrated...
@@SentinalBais1
I distinctly remember just how proud they were of it.
I wonder how long until they remake the series, to make it completely cartoonish, to remove the tragedy of the John Smith character and make him a mustache twirling villain who "would have succeeded if it wasn't for those meddling kids!"
@@SentinalBais1 The irony, like most things, escapes them.
Wow, thats a lot of research
The VTOL german jet exsists. Its a failed german VTOL transport, it worked p, but did not meet the right standards.
you watch Mustard as well I assume?
@@emilianocardenas6602 Yes.
@@emilianocardenas6602 Best vehicle tech youtuber!
So many interesting videos
It's a Donier Do 31. Three aircraft were built with the first flight in February 1967. The project was cancelled in April 1970.
The Do-31 was so noisy it could kill you and the engines melts normal asphalt. If it would land like in this show here it would burn a giant hole into the meadow. :-D
2:52 that muzzle discipline though
I'll my rant about how the series ended here. The series could have ended with a cliffhanger instead of a dud, and fans all over the world would have loved the series all the same. John Smith should have found a way to escape to a parallel universe where he lives out his life as a reformed Nazi, maybe even loving his wife and his life. I would have liked a dialogue with Juliana, where Smith explained that he didn't want to do this anymore, that he had said a different version of his life and wanted to live that version instead.
This nonsense of people crossing universes at mass at large is nonsense. The man in the high castle also escaping to a parallel universe would have been nice. Then finally perhaps just destroying the parallel jumping portal. Then end.
From what I understand, Amazon pulled the plug prematurely and the writers weren't expecting that. They wrote the show to end properly in 5 seasons I think. Then, when Amazon said they weren't going to get renewed, they just scrambled to fit a season's worth of a finale into a handful of episodes.
It's an amazing and very interesting show. But they seriously dropped the ball with the final season, especially the finale. If the finale was at least okay, I think that would have improved season 4.
John Smith cannot escape. Escape where? This world and the portal are controlled by Nazis. They would have found him. Someone would have found him at the very end. Remember that Nazis are already killing scientists and people, and doing sabotage in the US-dominated world.
Wish I could go to the Man in the High Castle reality. Law and order remain.
At least there we wouldn't live in this terrible and shitty world dominated by SJW leftists and globalist oligarchs like Soros and Klaus.
I think the problem is like alot of the others you expect happy endings where the villain is redeemed but that is boring and predictable at this point.
Grandma is a HELL of a shot with a snub nosed revolver!
One the best series ever, wonderfully realised with a superb cast.
I agree
First 2 seasons yes, rest was complete rubbish....
Granny with a .357 has a higher KDR than an entire platoon of commandos!
To put the actions of the Hit squad into simple words
Krusty: What the hell was that?
The old lady should be part of the Special Forces, woman has good aim bro.
Gramma has the gamer glasses on and is rolling into a Multi Kill
This show looks like something to watch if you are into unintentionally funny movies
4:05 I need you to join me on the pokemon
Didn't you know? Smith was NYC's gym leader.
Hell I'm just impressed by the experimental VTOL aircraft...i must watch this series now!
OOOOOOOH Dornier 31! An unexpected surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!
Imagine being on of the best shooters of the Reich only to get shot by some old woman in the woods 😂
So all along the man in the high castle was Sergeant William Fontaine de la Tour Dauterive! Pride of the U.S. army Barbers at Fort Blanda in Arlen, Texas.
Damn that ladies got some aim
I like the detail, that the Dornier Do 31 does not have the long nose pitot tube like the prototype had. It was meant for testing purpose.
She's not exactly a storm trooper.
If three older women were shooting like that, the Special Forces would have vanished.
The man in the high castle is the guy who sets company on fire in Office Space lol
That's Milton?!?! wow.
This would've been a great series if they put a little bit more effort in the last season.
Yes - it did turn a bit Castle Wolfenstein. But it wan't anywhere near as bad as the last season of Game of Thrones.
The plane you see is a VTOL plane called Dornier Do 3 and it was never put into production as not was trying to keep the program alive a struggle at the time the amount of jet engines needed make it consume too much fuel and it was still too weak where it didn't have a particularly high loading capacity or speed.
The MP5's are such a nice touch
That action sequence was pretty believable. Yep. Im convinced.
She aims and shoot better than a stormtrooper
man i love the look of that Do-31
I love how she has her ear covered with her hair and scarf and yet she can still hear something over the splitting wood. lol makes good sense.
great show but the last season deserved better writting.
such a shame
She's one hell of a shot with that little snubby.
Dornier 31; A VTOL prototype from the 60s
@4:20 - great to see the 1960s Dornier Do 31 is an experimental, jet-propelled, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) jet from the Munich Deutches Museum make a cameo. What could have been , eh Germany !, ;)
Hey! You also noticed that? I was watching and then that Dornier came flying and I thought, “I recognise that bird” 😂
Only thing I can see that is different is that they have removed the antenna that was normally fixed on the nose of the aircraft. Other then that it was hella cool getting to see it!
She's a pretty good shot for shooting one handed and moving.
I watched a couple of episodes of this show, and I could not see how this grim story could possibly have anything but a magical ending. I had to stop watching.
Ironic, how America currently appears to be moving in this direction?
How so
@@liquidsorrow Hail MAGA, vote one more Time, then you have never to vote again! Somethings tickling?
The 61 Chevy probably wouldnt of look like that if all this was going on
Dont remember the museum.. but i was inside this VTOL-plane. It is not huge... smaller than a CH-53 helicopter but to transport troops good enough. looks a bit star trek with the VTOL-engines at the end of the wings.
The Germans often start with a small prototype which continues to grow with each new model. That's how they went from the Panzer I to the "Maus".
The novel explained that The Man In The High Castle is a game master in the real world and the other characters are his friends who accidentally brainwashed themselves listening to him. They woke up in the end. So, he probably based the setting on things he saw in Popular Mechanics.
What novel is that? My copy is about jewelers and has very nothing to do with this show. I got it in the hope it would be similar
Maybe the real Man in the High Castle is the friends we made along the way
#bricked
Reichsmarschal , we’v got him.
Sounds familiar.....
This message has my consent
I have read the books and all of the authors alternative history stories which I thoroughly enjoyed and thought were well written.
I have not watched the show at all how closely does it follow the books?
The first season follows pretty close
Key word **First** season.
The alternate world is real in the TV series instead of a tabletop game.
From watching the clips , I need to watch this show!!!!!
It is so worth it !
They have MP5s too?
@zikkimeister nope, H&K was an amalgamation of various firearm companies in the post-war world. Thus, you'll see H&K weapons anyway, just under different companies.
@zikkimeister In this case, the DO-31 is also a failure because it was a development of west germany.
@zikkimeister HK was founded by Mauser engineers. The MP5 uses the same 9mm round the Germans adopted for the broom handle. The MP5 also uses the Roller delayed roller lock action that was developed by Mauser late war in the Stg45. In our timeline post war Mauser engineers went to Spain for CETME where they developed the rifle that became the basis of the G3 which was scaled down to MP5. In High castle it would probably be the Mauser MP5. With Germany adopting the STG45 in a more refined form closer to the G3 spin offs.
The Do31 is much more interesting as it used Rolls Royce Pegasus engines.
I wonder if they’re still called MP5s
Probably called MP-66
Probably. H&K is a German company, but it probably would be made by Mauser since H&K was the result of the Mauser company having all its assets confiscated at the end of WW2. I was surprised to learn that the MP-5 was designed in the 1960s. I always remember it being the quintessential 90s gun.
I wish they kept John Smith this way, he was best the character in the entire show and then they had to ruin his characters role. Such shame.
John Smith should have been the guy trying to free America from inside the sytem
came for the plane got like 3 seconds of it
That old lady Shirley was sf the way she handled herself, surely
lol there was the donier do 31 e 3(first vtol)
Wow! Dornier Do31!
That Do 31 is great
Is that a Dornier Do 31?
Yep
Thank God we won WWII so we can speculate how bad the alternative would be.
just move on like you do now, and you will go the same way our ancestors did. ALthough there werent an worldwide catastrophe War to warn them in History. Your doing great holding Education of the M
Is this lady the actress that played in clear and present danger 1994?
My mans literally could have accident shot himself before agreeing to john's terms just so they'd let her live
i mean i guess its 1 for 1 in realism. We get a guy not sweeping his officer as he walks in front of him, and in exchange we get granny smoking mfs in a dead sprint with a snub nose
Ooooh, cool! The Dornier do31
I don't know how confident the nazis must be in their empire, because these special forces units look like they were just given a MP5, shown how it works, and just told to run...
American specops. Should have flown in some original german Paratroopers,(google Monte Cassino)of that Time, they would have handled it different. But Hey, its an fantasy setting, so granny can multikill with an nearly penetrating Caliber. I did blend out reality quite soon in the Series, staying on the what if and how would i act Corner, and it gave me an great Flick, only last few Parts were an little bit too rushed and without any real Conclusion.
gradma got skills
You can watch this plane in Munich in museum
NEVER WATCHED, NEVER WILL!!!
What's that soundtrack in the background 👌🏿 soo dark I like it.
Imagine a grandma has better aim than a stormtrooper ,working for darth vader, the most feared man in space
Aw he say it
So if you go by aircraft shown this seems more like 1970s a retrofuturistic 1970s but still. But the cars are mostly late 50s early 60s models.
Well, the plane is a Dornier Do 31, which had it's real life maiden flight in 1967. If you take into account that in this series (Nazi) Germany won the war and didn't have to spent 5 years under occupation rebuilding it's infrastructure, it's plausible that they finished the development of the plane 5 years earlier, which would be exactly 1962, which is when the series takes place.

I still really enjoyed it.

Does anyone know that the vtol aircraft is really exists
It does exist. It is the Do 31 VTOL prototype
@@thatoneweeb-wehraboo2424 yes actually some 2 to 3 prototypes were built but due to few engineering defects the project was completely dropped
They could've used a helicopter but nooo lets Flex with a VTOL transport
that's a Dornier Do 31. Germany really produced them. Not in mass quantities. After the war the U.S. tested them and found them very favorable. Nice to see them used in the show.
@@bad74maverick1What do you mean after the war? The first flight was in 1967, it's a west german development, not Nazi german. Perhaps you mixed it up with the helicopter prototype Focke-Achgelis Fa 233, which was tested by the british air force, i believe.

01:28 - Dam Raymond Reddington...
This show would have been awesome if we didn’t have to waste time looking at resistance types and could focus more on the technologically advanced, well functioning society it is set in
So grandma took out at least four guys, two while running, with a revolver....I mean for a max of six shots, and it could be five guys, that is some fine shooting.
To bad we will never known how the series end really....
Wait why is there a do 31 the only reason the do 31 was invented is to respond to a soviet attack quickly not just a transport plane thats just waisting money
grandma is cracked on the sticks
Have to say, I quite like the idea of the SS-Einsatzgruppen evolving into a counter-"terrorism" special operations unit, like an evil FBI HRT or GSG 9
Hii may I ask which episode does this scene in ?
I wonder what Philip K. Dick would think of this series?
Probably confused
