+preparedDUDE The Enrichment Center is required to remind you that you will be baked, and _then_ there will be cake. You'll just be dead from all the baking first.
When I was in the USAF in the late 70s, we were issued ballistic nylon flak vests. We were told they were only good for stopping fragments but we had to wear 'em anyway.
Ok I realize its early body armor. But I cant help but think it looks more like a tactical apron. You should get a set of tongs for it and get a catchy phrase printed, Then wear it at you next BBQ. LOL
+Pitch lock It does, but some modern body armor uses a flap like that at the bottom as well. It's pretty good; most of the time you don't even notice it and it manages to catch all the food that leaks out of your made-in-1942-food-container-thing (guaranteed army vintage, uh, we mean newest of the new! - Regards, SA-int) so it doesn't fall on the ground and go to waste. Even better, if you're lucky the food sticks and you can keep munching through the next guard shift because, let's face it, they didn't give you time to eat anyway.
The way the mighty midget works is you pull the pin then insert the grenade in the launcher plunger first. pressure from the blank activates the grenade as it is launched. They came in a kit of six grenades six launching blanks a launcher in a formed plastic box. I have seen them made by LECO and Smith & Wesson. They where made from about 1965 until Def-Tech bought out LECO/S&W agent line. And Def-Tech dropped them from there line. The Israeli maker Ispera made it in a Maxie to launch off a shotgun and a M16 but not seen much in the U.S. .
Thanks for the historical perspective, I recall in the 60s and early 70s, there were lots of 30 carbine based guns, specifically on the paratroopers model, but with the wire stock removed and often a vertical grip as well as pistol grip, these were often featured in the TV shows of the day.
Prior to WW1 and during, I am told, officers might avail themselves of calf length capes having up to 30 or more layers of silk. These had a remarkable similarity to modern bulletproofing materials, capturing and shredding the bullets. It was said that after a while, the surplus weight of lead would have to be pulled/cut out of the cape lest it weigh down the wearer to a state of incapacity.
Silk vests, not lingery, had been thick and stiff. Could protect against cuts, low velocity lead bullets and shrapnell , but was expensive and could not be produced in large numbers.
I hope you get a chance to make a video on the early bullet-resistant vests made using silk back in the first years of the 20th century. There has got to be one somewhere in your network and they are nearly as forgotten a part of firearmshistory as many of the guns you show.
S&W later made a single shot 37mm launcher on a revolver frame and grip. My old PD had a couple, along with regular 37mm launchers. I put a go kit together in a pelican type case with one, CS and muzzleblast rounds for it, some hand thrown CS grenades and some sting ball grenades. Never had to use it (fairly small town), but good to have. I remember seeing ballistic nylon. Better than nothing. Had other uses too, such as belts and pouches
I have to say there are tons and tons of UA-cam channels that do stuff on guns but yours is definitely the most unique I've found. Always see and learn something new when I watch your videos. Keep em' coming!
andy craig -Actually 30 Carbine fmj will go through almost all modern body armor, incl 3a. In the late 80's or early 90's 2 Richmond, CA cops were killed on a barricaded domestic by one. One round went through an officer, both sides of vest, and broke the wrist of an officer standing behind. Scary. I remember seeing a training video about it many years ago. The 30 Carbine is nothing to laugh at. With exposed lead hollow or soft points or Cor-Bon DPX, it is excellent for self defense
I just really can''t get enough of Ian's marvellous vids. Every one's a pure gem, chokka (that's a UK English term meaning "stuffed to the gills") with absolutely loads of very useful information and (sometimes quite) obscure details that no-one else seems to cover. May our "Gun Jesus" live forever and continue to supply his many followers with extremely interesting gun-stuff. MsG
Holy shoes! I found some of those grenades once but had no idea what they were. my buddies thought they were cover smoke then we ran through it, with our noses running and coughing fits.
.38 S&W 158 gr likely does refer to .38 Special. That's the standard weight for the .38 RNL, which was still almost universal in the early 70s. .38 S&W was available commercially only with a 146 grain bullet. Remember that .38 Special is really .38 S&W Special.
Wasn't the 38 S&W a lower power 38 cartridge of slight larger diameter and shorter case than the 38 Special? I believe it was called the 38/200, as original loadings used a 200gr bullet at 600 fps or so. Later loads used 146 gr bullets.
You were right that is bad ass. Imagine a couple cops setting up outside a house firing tear gas into all the windows while their buddies breach and clear.
+Dave Hetrick Sorry, but those aren't mine. This video was filmed during my visit to Movie gun Services - it's their shop. If you want to see machining, I suggest checking out the GunLab channel.
Forgotten Weapons Thanks for the quick response. I actually think the more "gunsmith" oriented videos were sometimes more interesting than your normal content. Both are excellent.
What's up with the level III woven polymer body armor? I've seen it for sale and was surprised. Back when I was wearing issued body armor, it was all kevlar.
No reason to stick very strictly to firearms, I'm very interested in all sorts of "forgotten" fighting equipment. I'm pretty sure I have a photograph somewhere of one of those tear gas canisters from Tony's collection (from our Urban Survivalcraft channel); now I'm curious enough to go back and dig it up to check...
"Blank projectile" Are you sure about that one :P. I think you mean either 'blank cartridge' or that you fire a 'blank and that makes the grenade a projectile'
***** Quite correct, though I usually refer to them as simply "blanks". You could argue that 'round' doesn't apply to any bullet anymore, given that the sphere is not used for anything other than those guys who love filling the range with smoke. So how does a 'round of ammunition' work? It's interesting how language develops.
In regards to soft body armor: is the Kevlar simply woven together, or is it built in a sandwich structure and impregnated with resin to become a composite plate? Or can it be used in both ways? I'm more familiar with composites than body armor, and I was just curious how much overlap there is between the two.
Typically just woven, when you hear about composite body armor plates they're typically referring to a plate which is half ceramic and half Kevlar. Rounds will hit the ceramic and shatter it, significantly reducing their velocity, then the Kevlar with catch the bullet.
See if you can find an old M69 or M1955 vest. Those could stop a 7.62x25 round at the muzzle using ballistic nylon or Nylon + Doron plate. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doron_Plate
i really like that workshop you're standing in! is it yours? looks like the kind of place i would like to have at some point in my life! pretty much everything you'd need to custom make parts is in the shot!
Hey Ian, great vid! 2 questions; what is the weight of the body armour, and how high is the flammability of the nylon fabric (since I remembered that nylon is highly flammable
+Roderick Van Hees I don't have a measure weight, but with the plates it was uncomfortable to wear. It's not flammable, though - nylon melts but does not burn.
Ian actually does have a career on the Deep Web. What else does this knowledge of firearms come in handy? " Yeah, use the Wesson & Leavitt revolver on him!" " No, beat him to death with the KE9 Carbine!"
+ToastyMozart It is thought that only criminals require body armour. If you want it you are up to no good. It's a prohibited weapon. I can get licenced to own a bolt action rifle and must report it's activities to police but armour as well as pepper spray is outright illegal. All you require is a phone to call the police.
s Can I mean I wouldn't consider wearing one worth the added weight, but banning them outright seems a bit dumb. Also no pepper spray either? Better get good and practised with knife fighting then, unless the australian PD has a response time of a few seconds :P
+ToastyMozart Sorry I should have phrased it better. Carrying anything on your person for the use of self defense is illegal. Knives, batons, or a lump of wood is premidated therefore you aimed to hurt an innocent rapist, murderer or thief. Basically it's accept that your a victim and wait for the police 40mins+ to take a statement.
That is very cool. Body armour has come a long way since then. The grenade launcher is interesting. I am curious about how far it will launch vs throwing a tear gas canister?
+banditone00 I tried calculating it, but I must have slipped up somewhere because it only came out to 1.76m max with a normal .38 S&W powder load. I'd be curious to know too.
the mongol would wear about 5 silk shirts as armor against arrows.it was lite enough that it didn't bother him and weigh down his horse like iron or bronze armor would. there doesnt seem to be anything new under the sun.
Seemed slightly more legit until you see the engravings, really just for the grains it will stop in 38 s&w hahaha sketchy! Thanks Ian and thanks movie gun services!
+SomethingDifferent It (the M1) wasn't select-fire and the role it filled was more along the lines of a PDW. It was used by tank and vehicle crewmen and artillery troops who needed something more powerful than a pistol, but handier than a Thompson or an M1 Garand. Also it was put into service in 1942 (the select-fire M2 Carbine came later still), so even if it was used like an assault rifle it would have been contemporary to the StG-44 (which has roots in the 1942 MKb-42).
this is a very significant video which answer our mutual question. Where all thoses weird guns mg carbin pistols come from? How are they possible? Can a human brain conceive so astonishing or crazy rifles revolver puntguns mg, bazooka? My answer is simple: fake or illusion. All those milling machines , lathes, and drillpresses make me thinking that here the evidence: He is actually working at them. We must admire His Genius.
I just remember not being able to breathe through my nose cause it was so stuffed up at boot camp from the second week until we did the gas chamber. Of course the next day we got had a cold front come through and I got sick again:)
Ian,I have another question.what is 30 caliber actually referring to because i have often heard the m1 carbine being of 223 caliber but the m1 garand was different yet they are both considered 30 caliber .why
+Tama Hawkins The m1 garand uses .30-06 Springfield (7.62×63mm) unlike the m1 carbine which used .30 Carbine (7.62×33mm) as you can see from the full measurement's the m1 garand used a longer round than the carbine. As for the m1 carbine being of 223 caliber, i think you've been misinformed it's the modem M4 carbine that uses 223 caliber (5.56x45mm).
+Tama Hawkins ".30 caliber" refers to the diameter of the bullet. It does not specify the weight of the bullet or its velocity, though, and there are many different cartridges which use .30 caliber bullets.
Unrelated to the video, I still really want to see some of your personal guns. You should show us your collection as a 200k subscriber video, that should happen quite soon :)
