Beautiful, yet unsettling. One can’t help but imagine the untold numbers of young men who were ripped to pieces by these pieces of ingenuity. The duality of man; One part creator. One part destroyer.
No duality there. There are no two parts, but a single part with two sides, like two faces on a coin. The very same ingenuity is one face of which destruction is the other. Creation and destruction are, thus, the same, the only difference is that one begins where the other ends, but if you could watch them happening backards, they'd look identical.
Does anyone else find this eerie and sad? It’s unsettling to see machines made to kill preform to such elegant music. I also imagine the pain that these pieces of history brought to soldiers and their families. It’s a wonderful video and I’m glad these guns are still functional.

When i saw this so many things passed in my mind... Just think being a soldier on ww1 and for the First time on your life you see one of those beasts slashing trought the flesh of the friend that you make some days ago, the fear and pain that those soldiers had to presence in their lifes.
In the other hand, we have the Very intresting and clever designs of engeneering that are facinating to me, and the importance of those weapons on the human history.
There’s two kinds of killers in the world. The ones that will do it in a fit of rage with a metal scream in their heads. And the ones who will do it with a smile humming Beethoven. One of these killers is far, far scarier than the other.
Halfway through this I think my eyes glazed over and I was remembering end of the old Gallipoli movie where the Australian lighthorse men were going up and over after the navy stopped their bombardment several minutes early. 😢🇦🇺 main character ditched his rifle and ran as fast as he could to see how far he could get. He wanted to be a runner before the war.
Disappointed by the fact the guns themselves aren’t the instruments. My only criticism here. This does capture the unseen beauty of these weapons though, I think. Yes, tools made for war, but there’s something so god damn satisfying about seeing it all work.

@@FranzAntonMesmer Cash Register (n) a machine used in places of business for regulating money transactions with customers.

Etymology: cash - late 16th century (denoting a box for money): from Old French casse or Italian cassa ‘box’, from Latin capsa Register - late Middle English: from Old French regestre or medieval Latin regestrum, registrum, alteration of regestum, singular of late Latin regesta ‘things recorded’, from regerere ‘enter, record’.

Pov: your a ww1 soldier pinned down in a ditch in no man's land during a massive advance, observing all the chaos that's happening around you as your too shocked and scared to do anything.
More like, you're actually bleeding out, feeling the burn as your open stomach finishes you off, in your ears there is no screaming, no bullets, no hell, just the music you listened every night, back on different times
In my long sojourn on this planet, I’ve borne witness to many of the greatest works of man and nature. I’ve seen sunsets dance across the tops of clouds and mountains. I’ve watched thousands execute the flawless coordinated fruits of their years of training and passion. I’ve observed sights that overwhelm all of man’s faculties at once. But in all my years I’ve never seen anything as beautiful as this. Bravo!
That was the best way to wake up too. Awesome video I really liked the close up shots of the feeding and moving parts. It's cool to see the arms pulling in new rounds then spit out the empty.

What a wonderful 5:53 minutes of mechanical beauty, made all the more entertaining and educational in that one never normally sees these machines in operation this way. What struck me as almost comical, was how 99% of them looked as if they were about to shake themselves to pieces ! A massive thank you to C&Rsenal for creating and making this video available.

You took two of my favourite things (historical firearms and classical music) and made this video. Thank you for all the time and effort that you've put in it.
What a triumph of editing perseverance! I love the contrast between L. v B.'s piece and the muck and gore in which these pieces operated. Poignant and entertaining at the same time. Plus, as has been pointed out, I could identify each piece thanks to y'all's efforts.
I loved watching this beautiful video! I especially love seeing the wacky and cool mechanics of the Hotchkiss Portative. Thanks Othais, Mae, Bruno, and everyone else involved with making some of the best historical content on the internet!
Chilling. Mad respect to the effort that went into this video, and to the untold engineering that went into these antiques, but the fact that they are all weapons of war designed by humans to slay humans, and whose designs have done so in the thousands, always strikes me as chilling.
This took a fair bit of time to edit, so worth it.
Very nicely done :)

And the answer I come up with is always "One too many."

Thats deep dude. But theres no denying these are beatifully engineered machines even if they are instruments of death.
I don't get it, why was it okay for the BAR to be used during the turkish invasion of cyprus, but then during the third indochina war it wasn't okay.
Now that's a thinker... I respect that comment fully
