    I have a repro FG42, and it shoots extremely well. Recoil from the 8mm round is minimal: the muzzle brake is very effective; and the straight receiver/stock design helps. Years ago, when stationed in Germany I talked to FJ veterans and asked about this weapon. They said, pretty much what the video says: great weapon, not enough of them. Though they primarily used it as a semi-auto rifle as in full-auto it was difficult to control.

    • @MrDwarfpitcher
      @MrDwarfpitcher 2 роки тому +4

      Difficult in full auto?
      Also when prone using the bipod?
      I always figured that the Bipod was needed for such a heavy recoil on the light gun.
      But I never got the chance to ask if that was true or not.

    • @VertietRyper
      @VertietRyper 2 роки тому +4

      @@MrDwarfpitcher well the Bipod is because it was designed to replace some paratroopers' Kar98k. They used the semi-auto with it as they also issued scopes with them (at times).
      The angled grip and Bipod at the end of the barrel reflect that design consideration.
      However, these features were less favored because they made the full auto less comfortable as bipods on machineguns tend to be better slightly towards the receiver iirc

      SE4 mostly deals with German Paratroopers though and it would have been at the height of production since it deals with the invasion of Italy. It's still too many yes but at least they did try to make it a little more accurate. As example by 1943 almost 6000 FG42s were produced, 9000ish in total by the end of the war, huge drop off in production from the allies kicking the axies' arses. FG 42 is still the best battle rifle on the market though, less recoil than a G3, FAL and SCAR 17 at a higher rate of fire in 8 masuer. Although I do like the one InRange and Gun Jesus are trying to make more modern, I think that might be in 308 though.

    There was a pair of french pistols made by MAC both in 7.65 longue, the mac1935a and mac1935s, the a model was initially adopted because of higher quality than the other. However the s model was also adopted shortly after to increase the numbers of pistols they had. Then Germany invaded, and converted the french factories into German weapons factories to make walthers. Roughly 2000 of the S model were made, I personally don't know much about the a model but I have one of the s model handguns. It's sights are built into the slide and non adjustable, but its based on brownings 1911 recoil system, single stack magazine too but the ammo it uses is weaker than 9mm and closer to .380 app in power. Mine is currently inert and I'm in the process of repairing it. It fits surprisingly comfortably in the hand despite being a fairly compact pistol. I've been told that some pictures of nazis holding pistols where they're often thought to be carrying browning high powers they might actually have a Mac 1935 variant.

    I had the pleasure of using a De Lisle carbine at a local club some years ago chambered in .44. Was an interesting thing to shoot and was certainly not silent, had a very strange pop to it.

    I've come across an article about the mostly unknown Marlin submachine gun. I believe that article referenced a semiauto Winchester lever action carbine. John Browning saw the expelled gas moving the weeds in front of the gun and invented a system to make it cycle automatically. There was also an article how the trusty British revolver (Webley or Enfield) was converted to a semi auto. Canada ordered some thousands of Winchester 94s for their army; they had gum wood furniture instead of walnut. Strange stuff.
