as an American I really appreciate that this video about guns from Europe isn't condescending or judgmental like so many others are. thank you
The gun is one of my favorite inventions. Collecting them is interesting and entertaining at the same time.
For more history on any of the firearms, Forgotten Weapons is a awesome resource.
Reminds me of the Futurama episode with their version of the Twilight zone.. "I have combined every single one of the best and most evils of monsters into one and now I shall release it!" And a man pops out and says "it is I man!"
Guns are not killing. Its the user.
Turns out the megaproject was creating this video. This is a BEAST of an episode
Ian from Forgotten Weapons has entered the chat
Petition for all megaprojects videos to be 1-2 hours long
This is the kind of guy you avoid at all costs in real life.
Credit for briefly mentioning the M4 survival rifle. Not a common firearm that people know about.
The brass case is also a disposable heat sink. When you are fireing a large volume of ammunition, having a way of dumping some of the heat you are generating is useful.
As a Gunsmith this was a very well collected history. Each of these tidbits I knew but it was great to have it all laied out in one video. Theres still so much more to guns, like Simon said, dig deeper. There are some very fascinating stories to learn. Well done, Sir!
Well done sir, i am what many consider to be a gun nut, been fascinated with them my entire life and even touted it as a desired career choice when i was a kid and everyone wanted to be an astronaut… i wanted to design and repair firearms. I learned a good deal from this in a subject matter I consider myself to be more competent than most. Being an American i also appreciate you not craping on us about it. I enjoy you shows, thank you for your efforts.
From what I’ve heard the G11’s caseless ammo was also prone to splitting and moisture absorption. Also the rotating bolt mechanism made it impossible for field repairs, thing looks like a clock inside lol. And I don’t know if this was a factor, but the 3 round burst made it so you only felt the recoil once, which means all 3 rounds of recoil even with a buffer are hitting you at once. Probably kicked like a mule😂
You did it! When I started into shooting for more than hunting I thought that no one could know all there is to firearms. There are just so many years of development to back up everything that has happened and is still happening.
I'm a gun nerd but I watched this video to listen to Simon mispronouncing non-english names... I don't know why but I find it entertaining haha
I hope this didn’t get demonetized. This is awesome.
I would have added some mention about Browning's tilting-barrel handgun design. It's not as flashy as magazine and action developments, but it truly revolutionized handguns, with nearly all modern designs utilizing it. It vastly improved the reliability of handguns over the blowback-operated designs that were being made when the tilting barrel was invented. Of the early, Great War-era, self-loading pistol designs, the 1911 was at the top of the heap.
Considering the (admittedly surface level) detail gone into about bullet expansion and rifling, I'm surprised there was no mention about the brass cases, their benefits, and why that's largely what is still used all these years later. Eg the fact that when fired the brass is able to stretch outwards slightly to the walls of the chamber giving you a perfect seal, preventing gases coming backwards even if there's some varience in chamber sizes between firearms. They've experimented with ceramic cases recently, though I remember seeing a video of someone trying some out and they couldn't get a single one to extract in one piece after firing and not break in half, presumably because his rifle while being the same caliber had a slightly different size chamber and they couldn't expand enough.
Excellent video. No politics, just facts and it is well researched. You and the team did a great job. I felt I learned a lot about a subject I have studied most of my life.
