Maybe the title should have been the most influential of WW2
Great minds think alike. I was going to say this.
@carlpaladino427 yes! I stopped the video after the intro.
Misleading video title, as it is about WWII guns, not all-time guns.
Actually the Soviets entered WWII with a semi auto. The SVT 38/40
Well nobody had it lol
@@jason200912 I think they had about half a million by the star of operation Barbarossa. But that was far from enough to arme anyone. But they were losing them fast.
Even before that was the AVS 36 and it was select fire for AA use😂
After the German invasion, production shifted back to the Mosin but correct the US was not the only army with a semi.
Sks too
M-1 Carbine's DID see front line service, I knew and know WWII Vet's that carried them as a front line weapon. It's was NOT meant to replace the M-1911A1, it was meant to supplement it.
Yeah, my father started in AAA then moved to a squad leader protecting forward artillery spotters. As a youngster, I saw one in a movie and asked if he carried one. I don't know which units carried them, but he said lots of front line officers carried them and some higher ranking NCOs.
@@TerryKeever the M1 carbine was issued to mortar units, machine gun teams, drivers, and were used by artillery spotters.
“Seven most influential guns of all time”
Kentucky long rifle - introduced sniping to the battlefield
Brown Bess - first with interchangeable standardised parts and in extensive use for almost 100 years
Martini Henry - first breach loader in extensive use - still used today in Afghanistan
Henry repeater - first workable multiple shot rifle from a magazine
Lee Enfield .303 - most widely used rifle (until the AK47) - from 1895 to present day.
M1 Garrand - first semi auto in extensive use
StG44 - first assault rifle in extensive use - all others, AK47, M16, HK etc, follow this.
Just my opinion.
I would go even further back and include the first hand gonnes and arquebuses, as these were the first personal firearms, that changed warfare for centuries to come.
The Brown Bess conquered an empire. The Dreyse needle gun - first issued breached loader and first bolt action.
The Lebel 8mm - smokeless powder.
The 98 Mauser action in all its variations.
@@erikschultz7166 Yes, I was deliberating over the Dreyse - but thought it was too basic - requiring a combination of powder cartridge, ball and percussion cap. No doubt it was influential though, and there was a lot of rifle development in the early 19th century which led from the needle gun - but I think the Martini Henry's .577/450 cartridge was a game-changer.
@@reality-cheque the Dreyse used a self contained cartridge. The primer was at the base of the cartridge so the needle was pushed through the cartridge on loading and struck the primer when fired. This was first issued in 1848. The Martini was obsolete the day it was adopted. The Brits used the Snyder with a centerfire cartridge before the Martini. The 1869 Swiss Vetterli was a breach loading, magazine fed rifle with a metallic cartridge. The French had the 1871 Gras, a metallic cartridge update of the Chassepot, while the Germans had the 1871 Mauser. The Spencer had far greater impact than the Henry.
I would argue the Gewehr 88 over the Lee Enfield as the Mauser action is probably the most widely used bolt action style ever
It's fascinating to see how these designs have shaped modern firearms.
German "Sturm" in a military context means "assault" in english. So the Sturmgewehr was literally an assault rifle. Any assault and battle rifle is called Sturmgewehr in german today.
Colt Paterson revolver. Truly revolutionary for it's time.
and this was immediately proven by john coffe hayes and his texas rangers against the commanche's, who ruled the southern plains untill each ranger armed with two colt pattersons matched their firepower and mobility, at last turning the tide on the texas plains.....................................
Germany and Russia had semiautomatic rifles in WWII with external box magazines, and even automatic rifles...
The garand already had a box mag kinda like a m14 but sadly army wanted clips only no mag.
Ordinance Corp being fudds for you
@@jason200912 Money talks I guess, the same everywhere in the world. Otoh, there might not have a been a way to produce cheap and consistent magazines.
@@RuBearUSA mag production worked fine for the Thompson, mp40, 1911, bar, smle 1 mag + clips
I have a Springfield P-35
"Hi Power" clone on the way to a gunshop for my possesion. A friend of mine went from 'terrible shooter', to 'exellent shooter' with a Browning "Hi Power". I hope this purchase enables me to "cover all bases" , for the 24/7 all purpose carry weapon. My loopis- beaten body needs a break. ❤
I could’ve swore that the M1 grand was originally chambered in 276 Peterson to compete with the P Peterson rifle. Which is why it has an oddball number of rounds at eight. It was originally chambered in 10 rounds of the 276 and then when he was told that he was the forerunner, but it needed to be in 30 Calber he changed it to 30 odd six, which is why it’s only eight rounds.
No it never was , I was issued an M1 in basic training at Fort Dix NJ , there were many classes about the M1 and the subject your talking about never was mentioned. That was in 1962 and I also but not issued was the M15 which was a very good rifle also was fully automatic.
@@robertlosasso4222I believe you mean M14 not M15? I honestly don’t know what the M15 was? I’m sure Ian on Forgotten weapons has a video?
@@robertlosasso4222 the original design for the M1 Garand was in 276. But since the army had the Springfield 03 in 30-06 and stockpiles of 06 they required the change.
Thanks for doing these videos! I love learning about the history of firearms and you really do a great job of explaining and educating people about them
Thanks man
Arisaka t99 first chrome line bore as standard. Was amazing for using the standard salty corrosive ammo. Ak47 and ppsh43 also had chrome bores
Gun jesus said Hitler didn't like the mp43 only because he wanted only 2 calibers for the army and no more new calibers
Would be great to have a really modernized variant of the M1 carbine. I think the most significant improvement would be newly designed magazines as the originals were their weak link in functional reliability.
Correction:
Sturmgewehr correctly translates to Assault Rifle, NOT Storm Rifle.
"Sturm" means "storm", that is correct.
But not in this context.
"Eine feindliche Position >stürmenAssaulting< an enemy position."
Source: I'm German.
Nice to see the Hi-Power on this list. Odd it never shows up in WW2 games 😂
Awesome list.
The most unpleasant feature of the P35 Browning are the magazine safety. It is as vital a feature as a screen door in a submarine.
@@tonylam9548 a screen door IN a submarine? That could be useful
I believe MG34/MG42 is one of them. Concept of giving infantrymen belt fed MG, and belt feed mechanism itself, had a major influence on later designs.
My grandpa carried and used a M1 carbine in WW2 as a Marine fighting on Guadalcanal. In Korea he said he carried and used a M2 Carbine in combat.
As far as i know, german Bundeswehr still has a large number of P1 ( after war P38) in storage, even a number of PPK. Those PPK pistols had been up to early 90s used by pilots, and soldiers in civilian dress ( members of military police, military intelligence, couriers and socalled , Wallmeister '. This Wallmeister had to controll prepared positions, which they had to blastoff in a starrting war , to create obstacles of heavy concrete parts or flooded terrain.)
Can't imagine why you'd leave out the S.M.L.E Lee Enfield No1 Mk3. Over 17 million produced. In use from WWI to Korea with British Commonwealth countries. Still in use in some. And that's before you see the No 4 Mks 1 and 2. Perhaps the best and fastest bolt and action military rifle and with a standard 10 round magazine
It's interesting that the MP40 was, for many years during and after the war, called the Schmeisser. If you look at the photos of the Sturmgewehr(s) in this video, they are labeled Schmeisser. Hugo Schmeisser was a major German gun manufacturer responsible for both.
They need to bring the P5 back, with updates to make it even better.
They reason it took Russia so long to "copy" the STG-44 was that they didn't have the ability to reproduce the quality of components and mainly quality of alloys and quality control.
the idea of assault rifle (=automatic with lighter cartridge) came from WWI - see Fedorov Avtomat 1916 6.5 mm. No need to copy from losers. But the Germans' experience was certainly taken into account.
I would say AK was most influental gun of all time. In different form factors it has indeed substituted rifles, carbines, LMGs and SMGs. Super simple, super robust, super affordable, AK established and toplled more dictators and regimes than any other gun. It is THE MOST influental fun so far
i think britain spearheaded the development of suppressors and integerally suppressed weapons
@@tom33496 And many suppressed men with short guy complexes.
The small arms guns that change everything were the 1851 colt navy . And the 1849 pocket . Look at the numbers on the 1849
13:40 more so, there wasn’t enough 1911 pistols for them and many felt the 1911 was inadequate , but the M1 Rifle was too much. Thus the carbine.
Great video highlighting their impact!
They didnt exclude the external box magazine from the design because of the fear of dirt and debris clogging up anything, they did it because the us army ordinance corps for the longest time had held onto the misconception that more ammo meant more ammo to waste because soldiers would just spray and pray instead of aim which not only wasted money ammo but time in a battle.
@@amdneels False. They did it because a detachable magazine would old be something more to lose. The Enfield had a detachable magazine but the soldiers did not carry extra magazines. Carried five round stripper clips. An army worried about ammo waste wouldn’t issue a sub machine guns and machine gun in mass. The waste ammunition comes from the army not adopting the Henry rifle in the Civil War. It was BS then as well as they purchased and issued 89,000 Spencer’s.
@@erikschultz7166 it’s not 😂 just look into it
The m1 was a good and revolutionary rifle, but I'm just getting so f****** tired of people glazing the s*** out of it.
I go with the last ditch German rifle the "Volksgewehr. Very cheap to produce, suitable for mass production, could be produced with the limited resources Germany had at the time. but very effective.
As for the M1 Garand, every nation worth mentioning was developing semi-auto rifles for standard issue, before the Garand saw combat. Germany, imperial Russia, the Soviet Union, France and Mexico, all used semi-auto rifles in combat before the M1 Garand. Technically the M1 Garand was a simplified Mondragon rifle and the part that was innovative (the clips) was a dead end. As for the High Power the lockwork was highly influential, but the twin stack magazine (that wasn't an innovation that originated with the High Power) didn't take of until 30 years after the war. As for the M1 Carbine, it was far from the first PDW (France and Italy designed and fielded PDW's before the war, and many nations had PDW's during the first world war in the form av carbines, and stocked pistols) and the concept chosen with a dedicated PDW-cartridge died out with the M1 Carbine, never to resurrected, as the intermediate cartridge, made a dedicated PDW-cartridge redundant. The SKS was far from the first semi-auto rifles, it included no technical innovations, and characteristics like a tilting bolt, and feed via stripper clips, rather makes it a dated and unmodern design, even when it was introduced.
Well if all these nations had all these guns ready why did they not see any action during the ww2? Let´s take France you say that they where developing a semi-auto as a standard issue. If you are correct why where it´s soldiers fighting with old useless wepons? I mean it took the germans only 6 weeks to conquer France witch is a quit large country. Sorry but the French where a shamble and where in evry single regard caught sleeping. The arrogance of the French almost ended up costing the allied the war. Had Hitler listent to his generals and pressed on at Dunkirk the war would have turned out very differently.
The hardware the french army was useing was useless against the Germans and I do not for a second belive that they had or almost had any form of semi auto wepon
@@bogisimonsen471 And yet the french army did hade RSC 1917 semi-autorifles left in service in 1940, as well as the first MAS-40's straight of the production line. The reason why france hadn't equipped all their soldiers with semi-autorifles in 1940 is the same as to why the USMC landed on Guadalcanal with bolt action rifles. It took time to rearm a multi million man army. And much like Mexico, the french had realised that the semi-auto was the future for rifles back in the 1890 (back when the US Army still had black powder single shots and hadn't adopted their forst bolt action rifle yet) And much like Mexico with the forefather of the M1 Garand (Mondragon with US patent number No. 557,079) war interupted production for the french, as production of the Meunier rifle was ramping up, just as the germans invaded in 1914. In the end only about 1000 Meunier rifles where made before the first world war, and most of them were lost in the trenches. As for usage of semi-auto rifles in war, France, Germany, UK, Italy, Russian (imperial), the USSR, Finland all used them before the M1 Garand. Most of them in the first world war.
both the M-1' C &
the M-1' D saw service in south east asia ( the nam to those that were their ) attached with the M-84' scope , ho'ho'7' carried the Walter ppk in 7:65mm , not the pp model , the us M-9' ( beretta-92' ) originates from the 1951' eye'talian bertta brigadier
This guy came a long way since building gaudy motorcycles with his choleric dad.
The FN FAL/L1A! also known as the right arm of the free world, Also the HK G3
Have all of those except the last one. I might of added the Glock.
@brent, well USA did win WWII
Would HAVE
Had Germany gone with the STG in '42, earlier, when they had field-able prototypes or focused on making more, sooner, they could've fielded 750K+/- STGs and there, likely, would've been a different outcome in WWII and Germany may have been able to "hold out." The German Army already had STG units devised, but not enough arms. Their Mk IV tanks were fine, but always building stronger, bigger... More to add, but... Thank God "the leader" was an idiot!
My dad's service pistol 9mm browning hipower cdn navy Korea era.
Absolutely awesome how the AR10/15 has now became the most prolific and influential small arm in the Western world. Eugene Stoner and Jim Sullivan created the best combat rifle/carbine series in the world.
Just a bit of nitpicking, Sturm, depending on the context and word combination, can mean either storm, or assault. The German army at the time used the definition as an assault rifle. Obviously though the propaganda opted to use both definitions.
Like, bro! From Russia- with love!
My understanding is the M1 Carbine was designed to effectively replace the 1911 for use by rear area troops. Hitting any enemy with a pistol required lots of training and practice.
A rifle or carbine is more effective for use by rear area troops than a pistol.
That is my understanding, too. It was never meant to be a front line infantry weapon.
The M1 carbine was and is still In police use in so many nations.
So many weapons use a short stroke piston with a rotating bolt..
The hi-power was in service well into the 2010s with the British military.
The MG42, alot was copied from it but the German tech of steel stampings. Steel case ammo and cold hammer forged barrels is still used and CHF outside the US is the standard way to produce a barrel.
MB42 was one of the first di guns and I forgot the name but some rifles used AR15 type barrel extensions and bolts.
The M2 machine gun has changed very little.
A roller delayed version of the STG that never made it to front line service pretty much started H&K
I think one overlooked gun is the arisaka bolt action rifle especially the type 99 as it was the first mass produced rifle to have a chrome lined bore (now a standard)
But also it used a Mauser style system with a push feed so alot of hunting rifles use this type of action and the howa 1500 sporting rifle made in Japan, they used to produce them.
Alot of Japanese company's like mitsubishi made weapons and such.
I feel if they made the M1 carbine in a more powerful caliber ranging from 6 - 7.62mm with a bottle necked case with the same or more power than 8mm kutz with a 20 - 30 round mag and an assault rifle layout it would have been the best for the average soldier.
The AK is mostly just an amaligmation of US semi auto rifles using German tech for its stampings. CHF barrels and a cartridge based on 8mm kutz then eventually chrome lining.
The magazine was overbuild and I think it took alot of inspiration from the ZB / bren MG.
It would have been cool to see an SKS with a 10 round en block M1 garland style system. Would be great in ban states.
They had all of the tech to make pretty much modern firearms before WW2 it's just they did not know how to optimise everything.
Honestly the best invention that came out of WW2 was the mass production of penicillin. Sure penicillin was discovered long before that but mass producing it was a nightmare.
Amps of allied produced penicillin where highly suaght after by the axis.
I would say the worst thing to come out of WW2 was methamphetamine but that was discovered sndbordiuced in Japan long before WW2 I think maybe even before WW1
So I would say the worst thing to come out of WW2 medication wise is methadone as Germany had very limited access to opium (morphine) and it was cheaper to produce than pethidine (demerol the first man made Opiod) but it's totally not suitable for anything in modern medicine apart from if someone has an allergy to every other painkiller.
Apart from radar the best mechanical invention to come out of WW2 was the Jet engine and technically it was invented and first produced in the UK but they did not make use of it, but after the war they did.
Alot of useful stuff we take for granted was invented wartime as it seems that nations are more willing to fund science.
Heres a better list. 1.mg42, cause yknow. Badman's buzzsaw, known to be more humane than Badman's summer camp. but still terrifying. 2. maxim Machine gun, first automatic gun. sold to several countries making WW1 the bloodbath it became. still used over 100 years later. 3.stg44, the very first assault rifle. influenced a whole new method of weapon operating systems. 4. AK47, engineering marvel. cheap, hardy, easily obtained. the rifle of choice for many Countries and wars. 5. m16. created by the us for the us. made to whip commie ass. and many rifles still wanna be it. 6. m2 browning. over 100 years old. chambered in the notorious .50 BMG. goes through anything, cars, cinderblocks and terrorist Timmy 7. A-10 thunderbolt, NOT a plane but a Hell sent machine bestowed upon terrorist like an angel of death. made to crack tanks like a lobster. and the only thing Russia fears more is the democrat party. and maybe an effective economy
Hello there,
Just to amend a little inaccuracy - the AK-47 was pushed (and produced under licence) onto almost every Warsaw’s pact countries apart from Czechoslovakia which was using their own VZ-58. This rifle resembles the AK-47 however apart from the round it fires, no other part is exchangeable.
Brown Bess, Springfield 1855, Winchester 1866, Colt 1873, Mauser 98, Colt 1911, Stg 44, Ak47, M16, Glock 17.
@@user-xc8wf8xp1p like your list with the exception of the 1855 Springfield. A muzzle loaded rifle which was not noticeably different from the P53 Enfield or the French Minie rifle. Except for the Maynard priming system which was a military failure but is still and the core of every toy cap of gun.
Well done sir!
Ummm ma Duce. And mg42
Most influential handguns: Colt Gouverment 45, (first real functional combat handgun), FN High Power (first double stack), Walther P38 (first ordonance handgun with SA/DA trigger function), CZ 75 (first SA/DA doublestack), Glock 17 (polymer grip & safe action trigger system
@@vkfmgmbh7178 I would argue that the first real functional combat handgun was the Colt 1860 Army.
You can trace the entire arms race today to the 1841 Dreyse needle rifle
Europe was a leader in firearms innovation since the wheel lock, flintlock, the bolt action rifle,the semiautomatic pistol. Honestly,the matchlock musket and rifle are also European innovations as well,so are certain projectiles. Most notable would be the minne ball of the Civil war,and the bolt used in the Witworth rifle. Can't forget smokeless powder,the Lebell rifle was the first rifle to use smokeless powder.
Love the vid👍👍 very entertaining and informative. (As always) Great work.
i would replace some of these guns with the first gun ever built, whatever that is, the ak47, colt revolver, glock 17 and ar15.
I love the Garand, but it is sooooo heavy! I can’t imagine dragging that thing around.
The sights on the PP / PPK were of the period - small and shrunken compared to modern practice. At least they didn't catch on anything.
Nice P.38 you have - with the AC code, a Walther manufactured arm. I have an AC41, still shoots better than I can. The wedge unlocks by being pushed down by a small free-floating pin located in the block under the barrel, allowing the slide to continue to cycle whilst the barrel is now stopped.
Nice video! Cool.
Thank you for giving love to the Walther PP, you here so much about the PPK...
I'm remember seeing a video on UA-cam with Mikael Kalashnikov, he was in WW2 when he came home he said during the war Soviet weapons were shit. So that's why he went to work designing something better for his country, the result was the AK-47. Whitch lead to AKM, and AK-74 later.
The title is certainly misleading but also i think in my personal opinion that this list isn't remotely correct even for just WW2 (and stuff slightly before that) alone.
My top 7 would be M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, MG34/42, Sten, PPSH-41, PPS-43 and STG-44.
M1 Garand because it a successful semi auto
M1 Carbine because it a successful PDW
MG34 and 42 for introducing the concept of GPMG and also being a good system/gun
Sten because it was cheap and good enough, not a great gun but it was the right tools for that situation.
PPS-43 is the same as the sten except it was actually a good gun while still being very cheap.
PPSH-41 was very significant for soviet tactics moving forward, one of the many cog that help turn the tide of the war.
STG44 because it was the first successful assault rifle, pave the path for new assault rifle to be created.
Most bolt action rifle, pistol and smg during ww2 while good, wasn't significant enough or influential enough to really have a great impact on the war. A gun could have a vital from start to end of the war but that doesn't mean it really change the tide of warfare. Example being Mp38/40, Thompson,Bren, BAR....,all bolt action rifle of the war, all handgun.
Nice list. Surprised not to see the Mosin Nagant. Cool info thanks
I sonetimes carry my Hi-Power copy. I replaced the small thumb safety and grips, and thought about changing sights but haven't.
What is meant is a general issue weapon ! Of which the the US was well into and achieved !
Regarding the M1, Gen. George Patton went so far as to call it “the greatest battle implement ever devised.” Mic Drop!
Awesome video subbed !
The actions of the Mr Garand and the M-14 are very much alike. To say the M-14 action is an updated version with changes would be closer to the reality.
FN High Power. Dieudonne Saive was a close co-worker with Mr. Browning. He also worked for Fabrique Nationale (FN). In the position of designer Browning worked for FN, so I doubt the patent problem. Saive did in fact finish up the design of the HP (which refers to round count, not the power of the cartridge). Yes they are pretty decent pistols, but I have reservatopms regarding the caliber.
"M" stands for 'model'. The change in 1925 or so was to change from year of adoption (like M1911 or M1903) to a sequential numbering system.
Instead of continuing this, I will just encourage all parties involved in this video and a all viewers to read up on the subject if interested. It may seem boring but it has much to do with the development of both mechanical devices and how to operate a functional military.
I’ve wondered why Colt didn’t get the contract instead of Beretta? Unless the 3 round burst was patented so no one else could use it. And I know: 9mm like everyone else
I’m AK 47 and who are these nobodies??
7 Most Influential Guns Of All Time for American*
❤ I got most of the guns used in the European theater. I really enjoyed your video but from my point of view the grand daddy of the browning design is missing Colt 1911.❤ because the big fat slow still does the job
All my homies including my fiance refuse to ditch their M9 for the Sig M17/M18. The M9 is still very much in service, and we should have adopted the M9A3.
The best Beretta is now finally the X model where they went to the frame mounted safety decocker like the Taurus PT92AF which is all around a better design, Beretta may have a better finish but that's about it. The Taurus was years ahead of the Beretta. It has a 17+1 capacity versus the 15+1, has better three dot sights, better ergonomics especially when Hogue rubber grips are installed, the frame mounted safety/decocker versus the slide mounted, the light and laser mount, the second strike capability Taurus has introduced into many of their pistols is great for light primer strikes. As far as Sig goes, the only one I would consider is the Mk25 if it's good enough for the teams it's a viable weapon.
Didn’t see my left and right arm. You’re slipping bud.
These videos are always biased asf to American firearms
@matty, USA did win WWII
I don’t understand why the SKS was listed? How was it influential??? Who copied it??? I just don’t understand that one ditto for the SVT-40? Not the worst guns. However I don’t see what they influenced or inspired?
What about early Makarov pistols. Way to many Walter's
The TT33 should have been on the list, very powerful pistol. 7.62x25 Tok is very hot, almost like .357 sig, but a lighter projectile.
I own 2 Browning HPs. One from Canada and one from Belgium... Both will give you "Hammer Bite" If you chocke up too much... Other than that... Great hand gun.
The ARVN used M-1 Garands And mainly M-1 Carbines for most of the war, because of their small stature the Garand was just to big and heavy for most of their soldiers to use effectively same with M-14...
Wait you start with the high power abd not the forerunners like the iconic 1911? The Brownings set the standard for a full slide with a tilting locked breach design. It seems more influential to me???
Change the video title
I mean this is a list of influential guns of 20th centrury and fowards.
Surely the Brownbess, The Kentucky Long Rifle, and the Needle Gun should be considered for MOST influential of ALL time!
Dreyse Needle Gun should have definitely up there, along with the Maxim Machine Gun and the Henry-Martini
The Brown Bess was the weapon that was used in Great Britain's many conquests,it should be on the list. The Kentucky Rifle and matchlock(the grandfather of all guns) also deserve to be on the list. Tales of the gun,the ten guns that changed the world was much better. No Mauser either? This is a WWll list.
The Minie ball and the rifled musket.
Great pistols lol they really are.
NOT of ALL TIME...
very interesting, thanks!👍🇺🇸
I am subscribed to this channel, but when I click on the Hegshot87 link, it takes me to your gaming channel, which I’m not subscribed to. Not sure if this is happening to anyone else.
Which link are you clicking on?
In my list of subscribed channels, I’m clicking on “Hegshot87.” But when I click on that, it takes me directly to “Hegshot.” I’m not subscribed to “Hegshot,” only to “Hegshot87.” So in order to access the videos, I have to manually search for Hegshot87 and get into the channel that way. I haven’t tried unsubscribing and then resubscribing to see if that fixes it. But if this is happening to anyone else, it could affect your views.
Very interesting!
CZ 75??
Could the M1897 be considered an influential gun being one of the earliest and most successful pump actions?
Certainly the most successful, but not the earliest. For example, Bannerman Model 1890 is a pump-action/12ga shotgun designed earlier than the M1897.
Perhaps read some specialized literature? This video contains several incorrect things that have been circulating on the internet for years. But they are simply not correct.
The 7.62x39 was only developed in 1947 (end of WW2 was 1945), together with the AK47, hence the 47 in the AK. This 7.62x39 cartridge did not exist before that!! First produktion of 7.62x39 was 1948/49.
The SKS was built with the 7.62x41, which is logically not the same as the one in the AK47/AKM. Only after the introduction of the AK47 was the SKS converted to 7.62x39, and the 7.62x41 was discontinued. The SKS was originally developed for the 7.62x54R... before WW2! However, the design was rejected in favor of the SWT-38 and later the SWT-40. Consequently, the SKS was developed for the 7.62x41.
The Soviet SVT-38/40 were in production and use before the Garand. And there were more than 2 000 000 self-loading guns of this type produced in 30-40-th. And yes, there were hundreds of Garands in the times, when Red Army had tenths of thousands of SVT-38
Funny how most people even experienced in weapons pronounce Garand wrong, it's pronounced Gærənd. Canadians have to be special in the pronunciation of their names.
Probably because most everyone pronounces its, "Guh-rand" and that pronunciation gets absorbed into the fabric of speech, that the correct pronunciation seems odd.
a 1911 was hard to shoot for somebody
The m1 was not underpowered. this is a myth - I saw a ballistic gel demo that showed it had the same stopping power as todays 5.56 round - except it was not effective past 150 -200 meters - this represents about 95% of combat engagements so it would be at home on todays battlefields - much more useful than an SMG - with a higher capacity mag it would have been more than a match for the STG 44 - not to many people hit by one of these things would be around to continue the fight for long. In summary I believe the m1 was the equal to the STG 44 - the Ruger 5.56 today is considered to be an equal to the M15
The M1 carbine was comparable to .357 magnum,it just didn't have the range of a full sized rifle.
I genuinely think the M1 carbine needs to make a comeback especially in ban states like commiefornia. And I'm not talking about the ruger mini 14 or mini 30, I mean a faithful reproduction of these rifles that weigh exactly the same and handle the same. The mini 14 is a good ways heavier than the M1.
There are at least two companies currently making copies of the m1 Carbine . Auto ordnance and the new ( not the General Motors subsidiary) Inland Mfg. I have an Auto Ordance as well as original WWII M1 Carbines . The major issuer is finding ammo at a reasonable price . I wish Palmetto State Armory would produce it in their AAC LINE of ammo .
