      @@FirstDagger I wouldn't say a M1 garand won the war lol regardless of what Patton said about it. It was a good rifle period. Germany had just as good of semi auto rifle designs the problem was they didn't have the resources the US had. And on top of that by 1943 the resources they did have were of very low quality thanks to not having acess to good iron and steel anymore. The real reason we won the war is not a rifle lol but we out produced them and Germany had to fight Russia in the east as well. Plus the STG44 is better than a M1 garand and the m2 in most ways that matter, hence why the design was copied by so many others and the m2 and m1 were not. I argue if d-day happened with a prepared German force that was not split in 2 fronts it would have been a utter failure.

      Der kann froh sein dass es den Lauf nicht zerstört hat. Beim ersten Winterschießen mit dem MG74 (Österreichs MG3) haben wir uns auf einem MG jeweils abgewechselt und jeder hat halt seine Schüsse abgefeuert. Kein Ausbildner hat irgendetwas bezüglich Laufwechechsel gesagt bis der Lauf schon leicht zu glühen angefangen hat (ich habs leider nicht gesehen war gerade etwas trinken weil ich meine Übungen schon durch hatte)
      Der Schütze der gerade am MG war wurde daraufhin von einem Unteroffizier angeschrien er solle den Lauf sofort wechseln und in dem Schreck ist ihm der Lauf in den Schnee gefallen.
      Zack, Lauf war unbrauchbar, er durfte zwei Wochen nicht übers Wochenende nach Hause, hat geschätzt 1000+ Liegestütze machen "dürfen". Aber auch der UO bekam eine aufn Deckl vom Waffenmeister weil er uns nie explizit befohlen hatte den Lauf zu wechseln.

      The MG3 is a medium machine gun, with the Browning .50 beeing the heavy machine gun and the MG4 beeing the light version.
      There is a MG5 in some troops now as well which in the long run will take over the MG3s place.
      But the MG3 which is the MG42 wich some modifications to the bolt and "Rückstüßverstärker" is considered a medium machinegun eventhough it is in the role of the LMG or section automatic rifle.

    Hugo Schmeisser and his team were decades ahead of everyone else. MG42, MP40, Stg44 could compete with most modern weapons if they improved them once. Most if not all other weapons of this type needed several generations to become good :-) It is great to see them shooting after 70+ years.

It is known design of revolutionary weapons like Stg44/AK47 requires a team of specialists, although all names are not known at the end. What's you favourite Browning design? I really like Schmeisser's Stg44 and Vollmer's MG34.

      @@fuckcommunist1340 Do you show love to your communist boyfriend like this? Anyway, it is true Schmeisser didn't design MP40. His creation (rest of the team also helped because one man can't make such improvements) was MP18 in 1918, first submachine gun in the world that made basis to most submachine guns until 60's. Then Stg44 which was first assault rifle, many patents and probably also worked on at least parts of AK47. Guess Russians wouldn't release him half a year later than other prominent German weapon designers, if he was not up to something important there. We also know one man couldn't make such weapon despite having example of Stg revisions.

      Allies may not have had the best weapons, but they did have the overall best concentration of effective weapons. For example, every infantryman in the US Army had an M1 Garand unless his job required something else (that usually had more firepower). Russians had SMGs to go around too, plus plenty of their own self-loading rifles. At the squad level, the only significant advantage for the Germans was the MG42, which they had quite a lot of and used well. And maybe the MP-40. Otherwise, it's Mauser bolt actions for them in overwhelming quantity.

    • @lovepeace9727
      @lovepeace9727 4 роки тому

      German infantry mostly was armed with bolt-action rifles and one SMG per squad. MG-34 and MG42 were their only saviours.
      Soviets (after 1942) and Americans (also after 1942) were armed significantly better. Soviets had highest percentage of using of full-auto guns (and #2 in terms of semi-auto usage) while USA was giving M1 Garand basically to everyone (USMC was fully rearmed only in 1943 but still), while also giving up to 5 (!!!) lmg's for squad.
      USA and USSR had hella more firepower even if german MG was up. And if german LMG gunner got smoked...
