- As far as weapon systems are concerned, having the best available can be key to success on the battlefield. But with rapid changes in technology, some weapons come and go rather quickly. Other times, weapons are so well designed and so effective, they stay in service for decades.

The B-52: The only time you, your Grandfather and Father could have flown the exact same aircraft...Legendary.
I though there is a case now of 4 gen now flying the same aircraft.
Say that for the Herc too.
@@geographyinaction7814 I'm a bit surprised that he didn't mention the grand old C-130. Subject of song and story. I realize that, technically, it's a cargo plane, but it IS used to deploy airborne troops and equipment.
And the Tu-95 too technically
Don't forget the Douglass DC-3. It's older than the B-52, and it is still in day-to-day use in places like Alaska. Short takeoff, short landing, decent payload for the size, and those old radials just never quit if you keep them regularly overhauled. Not still in military service, but it's entirely possible three or four generations could have flown the same exact airplane of that model, just like it is with the B-52.
(Unrelated: I also think the DC-3 is a much nicer plane to look at than a B-52, but that of course has nothing to do with effectiveness at their respective roles.)
That legendary saying:
"If it aint broke......"
True. I posted the same before reading yours 👍
if it aint broke its still working
where the hell is the ak
I was about to say.
Of course
"It's a machine gun!"
So happy that was included.
The poor German kid was used to having to file a requisition form (in triplicate) for each bullet fired.
*Uncomfortable haha*
@@benn454 cringe
I guess the German (was it?) Private (I think I can't tell his rank) was a bit timid firing such a weapon... Might've been his very first time firing a Machine gun. Then again maybe he was a machine Gunner and it's just the gun itself. I mean it's a 50.Calibre
@@mileselon1339 No they are trained to shoot in bursts because their machine guns like the mg3 fire very fast and it costs alot
While on deployment outside of Fallujah 2007, my platoon was issued a 50 cal with a tripod date stamped "1942". We couldn't believe it! Maybe that tripod was in Guadalcanal?? Definitely saw wood handled 50 cal machine guns from 2003-2007 in the USMC.
thanks for sharing :)
Should never have been in iraq
How was fallujah in that time ?
Thank you for your service!!
@@Ollie121299OnPC saddam shouldn’t have invaded Kuwait either, But you’re right. We shouldn’t have let saddam off the hook the first time around. When you destroy a military in a matter of days, I can see why we didn’t push into Baghdad the first time around :)
@@goinhot9133 couldve been better if Saddam was not executed . They should've exiled him or keep him stricted of his power over Iraq.
In summary: John Browning is a legend
Amen.
Yes exactly
There are no bad Brownings
Browning the god
@@realmofrandom3696 except the HP
in Germany, we still use the mg42 in essence, as our MG3. It's an insane weapon that packs some serious punch while being nearly indestructible.
You're helmets have also become the global standard which Is crazy because the modern helmet is just an update of the WW1/WW2 stahlhelm which is itself is just an industrialized _medieval_ helmet with only a few alterations
MG3 is just a modernize with low rate of fire version of MG42 so yeah in essence Germany still use 42 as their machine gun
@@bullettime8760 I wouldn't trade it for any other medium machine gun. It can do it all, it's portable, it's powerful, its got good range, 7.62x51 NATO is a mean caliber for a machhine gun and its rate of fire is absolutely amazing. I had the priviledge to shoot that gun quite a few times during military service and - except for carrying its 23-ish pounds (11+Kg) around - this was by far my favorite gun to shoot.
@@arthas640 true that, yet our helmets today are made out of kevlar composite, so the materials changed. But this gives credit to the guys in the middle ages, their helmets did their job quite well. And whereas a gun is something very different to a sword, a helmet in essence didn't change by a large margin. I gotta note though that the one thing I'm most proud of is german body armor, which undergoes intense testing before getting its rating. Our body armor needs to withstand three hits in the same place with the same round to get the rating for that specific round. But to be fair - if you only got a handful of soldiers, you really need to make sure that they won't die xD
@@arthas640 Kunde gij zeggen just a joke btw XD
Can confirm. I'm in the Coast Guard, and we still shoot a 1903 Springfield onboard out cutter. It's been modified to be used as a line throwing gun. It's awesome to shoot!
I’ve never heard this before. Is this standard issue on vessels in the coast guard? Either way that’s awesome.
@@johnw3736 I'm not sure of the ratio, but the CG uses modified M16s as well. I'm not sure about M4s or anything else. The 1903 that I shot was made in 1933. Absolutely insane that we still use them, and I love it.
Yes. The Navy used them as well back in the 80s.
We still use the Lee Enfield for the same task. We bought a shtload after WWII from the British and even built them ourselves. They were eventually replaced by the FN FAL in the army. The FAL is now replacing the existing inventory of the Enfield in secundaire tasks, so those WWI weapons were built to last.
The M1903 bolt action rifle saw a lot of service in the first two years of fighting during WWII. My father carried one on Guadalcanal as a Marine in 1942 all the way through the Solomon Islands campaign up until about 1944.
I always wondered why the Marines got stuck with the older generation Springfield 03, while the army infantry was mainly issued the Garand..?
@@ryanellis5902 Probably because the Marines were fighting in the Pacific Theater for two years before the bulk of the Army got involved on D-Day in '44. Dad did get a Garand after the Solomon Islands campaign sometime late it '43 or early '44.
The M1 was still new in production when the Pacific Theater opened, so the brass had to priorities who would get the new rifle first. The Army was chosen. My guess is that it was seen as them who had to do the bulk of the fighting after the marines had opened a beach head for them. But I could be wrong, I can't find much about the thought behind the Island Hopping tactic they used
@@ryanellis5902 the Marines always get the old shit.
It is a modified Mauser ,that is also still in use .
No one can deny the fact that John Browning made a huge impact in today's modern weapon designs.
Same with Hugo Schmeisser. He’s got the MP-18 and the StG-44 under his belt. First SMG fielded and first „assault rifle“ fielded.
@@kadenvolan3557 The BAR could be considered for the first "assault rifle" as well. They called it an MG, but it really wasn't.
@@benn454
Fedorov Avtomat was the first select-fire full-auto capable infantry rifle, which was adopted by military forces.
MP-44/STG-44 was the first Assault Rifle by the modern definition.
In fact, the class was named after it in English. (By Hungarian terminology AR is Machine Carbine (Gép-karabély), for example. )
Both AK-47 and MP-44 were orginally designed as more powerful SMG replacements.
Browning weapons are so well designed even Mario can be seen using one here 2:48
@Prime Artemis two different fire rates
Love that you added in the “it’s a machine gun!” part lolol
*erika plays in the background*
The M2. I was a 50 gunner in iraq in the 2000s. You can imagine my shock when i get back from deployment to find they finally added a safety to the weapon for the first time sense its adoption into the army. Really messed with the old soldiers.
For those not in the know, the only safety on an M2 from adoption till 2008 was to take a loose 50 round and slide it behind the butterfly trigger.
Seems fitting. It’s a .50bmg machine gun, there’s no such thing as safety. The only safe part just depends which end of the weapon you are at
I was there going to armory school when the safety was adopted. I was also shocked to learn the the receiver for my 50 was made by a typewriting company in 1942.
In addition to the m1919, m1911 and M2 browning mentioned on this list, John Browning also invented the Browning Hi Power, The Winchester 1897, The BAR. Those are just the big ones too, he had dozens of designs.
Browning submachine gun, mostly used by USMC. Also pump shotguns and rifles.
John Browing was long dead when the hi power was developed , same w/the Siuperposed ( his son had a hand in this shotgun
He also developed the first successful semi-auto shotgun.
2:46 Apparently, Super Mario serves in the US Navy
made me smile xD
Quiet You..
Of course, he's part of the damage control party in charge of repairing pipes.
2:47 Never knew Mario was in the navy
Edit: thank you for making this the most liked comment on the vid!
Also edit: Good times go.
heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee also second like
underrated comment
Actually it is cannon that Mario did serve and was also a deep sea diver at one point.
he joined because the spaghetti is the reward
LOL 😂😂🤣🤣
During my time in the Canadian Armed Forces, I fired the .30 cal Browning GPMG and the .50 cal Browning HMG, both of which you showed in this video. I also trained with the Browning 9mm semi-auto pistol, the Sterling 9mm SMG (the Star Wars stormtrooper blaster rifle!) and the FN C1 7.62mm semi- and full auto rifles. All of them were very reliable weapons.
The .30 was rechambered for the 7.62 NATO round by the Canadian Army, you can tell these by the new cocking handle, the .50 serves on unchanged. The .30 has been replaced by the C6 which uses the 7.62 NATO as well. The full auto version of the FN was the C2, the semi auto was the FN C1A1.
You also had hueys to if im correct.
Imagine designing a gun so good, that it's seen battle in military and civilian use for over 100 years.
Imagine one man with at least three such designs.
The most expensive race guns you can buy (guns designed to shoot fast, accurate, and reliably during timed completions) are called 2011's. They are 1911's with a wider frame to accept double stack, higher capacity magazines. Hard to believe that a slightly tweaked, 100 year old design is the absolute best design money can buy today...
Rule 1 for guns
"If it ain't broke... it was probably made by John Browning."
XD
Lmao
I agree. Interestingly enough I don't own a single Browning firearm, I own glocks, bolt action hunting rifles, and AKM model rifles. Grew up shooting 1911s and other browning designed self loading firearms.
If it aint broke, it's a Rheinmetall xD
The gun version of Toyota
@@Hamsterlion683 xD
Note: A "garland" is a string of flowers.
The rifle is the Garand.
does seem that if you are going to make a deal about guns you should know their names
How could anyone make a mistake this big !
Well, he said MG42 and showed an MG34 so......
John Garand pronounced his name with the emphasis on the first syllable. The rifle is pronounced with the emphasis on the second syllable. No reason... Just a fact.
Note: you're not pronouncing Garand right if you don't emphasize the first syllable
The Browning M1919 , still going strong over 100 years now , that man was genius !
Love my M1A (semi-auto only version of the M14). It is also accurized and equipped with a scope, bipod, and cheek rest for long-range precision shooting. It's just such a beautiful, well made, sweet shooting, reliable rifle. I'm a retired Marine and I know how to use it very well.
@@c141988 war mongering guys like me?
What the hell is wrong with you?
This comment is totally out of left field, I hope you have a good reason for it.
Who said anything about the Gulf of Tonkin?
No one is ever going to conquer America w a vast population of trained, armed citizens
M1 Garand: “General Patton told me, I am the finest implement of battle ever devised.”
M14 EBR: “I’ll make you proud, Gramps.”
It did not
The whole M14 program was a brilliant display of ordnance department idiocy. The "battle rifle" concept was already pretty obsolescent (as a general issue weapon) by the time of development. The FAL and .280 Brit combination was a much better option at the time, though if it was actually adopted we might have never seen the AR take off.
@@copperlemon1 The M14 is a great rifle, just not great at what they were trying to use it for.
No idea if it's still true, but in 2003 I went aboard HMAS Adelaide and they had a wooden-bodied SLR for firing lines from ship to ship. Replaced in ground-service 1988-90. My father loved his SLR when he was a reservist.
M14 EBR is too heavy, hard to reliably mount optics on, requires a lot of tuning to suppress, not nearly as accurate as it looks.
The title should heve been: Top 10 oldest american weapons still in use
That is true that is just American propaganda lmao. There are so much other weapons in other countries. I was waiting for the MG42 aka MG3 the whole time.
@@realfusion501 well it is coming from a UA-cam channel called US military news, so what do you expect?
@@tactic34wot52 i expect weapons from all around the world when i read that title
@@realfusion501 I was expecting only US weapons because I read the YT channel name after reading the title
The first lines of the video "weapons made in America still is use today" - literally expecting something else is kinda odd.
1911! Love this iconic pistol. I have a Colt Traditional. My most favorite pistol ever!
Ditto my second would be CZ 75 B it's like God made it to be part of me.
Everybody should own one 👍
I worked at a sporting goods store in college and I remember working the gun counter and selling springfields. While certainly affordable, people would come in and buy them and the reliability and word of mouth did most of my job for me.
I thought the Cobra would be in this video next to the Huey. Its over 50 years old and still bringing the smoke.
Well cobra platform also based on huey. so huey can represent it also
I was attached to an AVCRAD and we found if very very hard to still get parts even within the U.S. Army Supply System didn't have them so we made parts for them.
You know this video is not 'that perfect' as you were expecting them. As it turned out, the great glory and accuracy of 'all-qualifying' "still in use", oldest but not necessarily longest in duration of use, even for those non-combat roles such drills and ceremonies, and thus the title of the video did enticed viewers (like me.) With regret, I did not get a chance to work with the M-14s because I was in the U.S. Army, within the 10th Mountain Division, in the late 1980s so the M-16s were used, and among the weapons that killed the most people in the world are the M-16s beside the AK-47s.
I thought the MG42/MG3 and Lee enfield would be here but nope just everything American
I love that Gadsden flag profile and background.
2:48 Mario joined the U.S. Navy to take the battle to King Koopa's shores.
After this test, he will head to the mess hall for LOTS OF SPAGHETTI!
So I was not the only one who thought that.
I love how they said the M60 narrowed heavily from the MG42 (which it did) while showing a picture of an MG34
I wonder who uses M60s today. They surely don't use the Vietnam version. Perhaps an E3 shortened for Spec ops? I heard that they retired all of the M60s from service decades ago.
The mg42 is still in service today too, as mg3 in German and Austrian armies, it has a changed barrel so it keeps same fire rates not as the mg42 (rate depended on heat more heat more firerate more spray) but it is still a "new" mg42
@@Frankie2012channel Denmark is in the process of retiring the MG3's they've used for years and adopting the M60E6. A short search shows that dozens of countries today uses some generation of the M60
*Amazing vid. thanks for letting us know!!!*
Many of these are among my favorite from my service in the Marine Corps back in 79’-83’. I always liked the equipment and firearms that were issued to us. I served in the Air Wing and the Huey and the CH53E were the two main helicopters we worked from. I still prefer the M-14 over the M-16. I’m not knocking the M-16. I just found the M-14 to be an awesome platform. Because of my size the weight and size of the M-14 didn’t bother me. It was perfect for my large frame. What an awesome weapon.
my great nephew is flying a Huey in the Marines now, we used the M-14, and I like something that can reach out at touch someone at 500 meters unlike the M-16. We were transitioning to the M-16, but fortunately they never got around to my unit.
@@lestermount3287 Army basic training weapon M14, but around September 1969, the Army did a full transition to the M16A1; I was not happy.
The 1911 seems to be a timeless classic.
I can't practically own guns in my country, but I definitely would get one if I could.
Shooting them is also a massive treat. Their trigger is unique compared to most pistols. It's got a straight pull and most pistols tend to have a pull that angles at the same time as going back. A good 1911 trigger is better than any polymer glock style pistol. They're also thinner than people would expect.
I know you are in europe but i guess the country of either gernany or england
"inside every gook is an American trying to get out" 😂
This video should be named "Top 10 Oldest Weapons of US still in Use"
Maybe read the name of the UA-cam channel before complaining? It's pretty clear they mean the US in that context.
During the Gulf War, Canada contributed a support ship to the fleet. The rules stated every ship in the fleet had to be capable of self-defence, and the ship Canada sent had none -- so they borrowed a Second World War vintage Bofors deck gun from a nautical museum and bolted it to the deck of the ship. Presto, rules now technically followed.
The old Chicago piano
Ya I bet the Bofors would shred any PT/speed boat they may see as a hostile boat...
2:48 when Mario gets tired of bowsers shit

German soldier: hehe ok

thats exactly the moment i decided to check the comments

"it fires rounds of freedom"
I have an M1A and love it. You can shoot pretty accurate at long distance with those iron sights
My father worked for Pratt and Whitney in the 60's and 70's, in Experimental Assembly. He used to talk about going to Bradley Field and mounting experimental and prototype engines on the B52 that Pratt had there as a test bed. We used to see the thing from time to-time. Impressive.
"...borrowed from the MG42"
*shows picture of an MG34*
Genau. Wollte ich auch gerade schreiben XD
Thought I was the only one that noticed
And in how many other military videos have we seen them make that exact same mistake? Half a million! Lol!
Also talks about single engine Huey UH-1, shows clips from a Twinhuey
He said the FG42, and did in fact show an FG42, so you're wrong twice. It's a downsized version of the MG42 meant for the German paratrooper units during WWII. Ian from Forgotten Weapons did a great video on that design not that long ago.
Its hard to believe the M61 Vulcan cannon entered service as far back as 1959 and the M-2 in 1933. I don't see any of these going away soon.
The Majasty of the BUFF is a wonderful sight. I love the sound of a MA Duece in the morning. Some othe great platforms showcased here.
great video
With all due respect to the Springfield, if its only use is for ceremonies, then personally I wouldn't include it, but that's just me.
Agreed. We still use the USS Constitution for ceremony but she’s not a combat vessel
There should also be mention of Model 1902 Army Officers Sword then, maybe other branches have even older cutlery still in use...
I agree. But I was SAC our B-52' been delivering 60 years without a day off.
Old snipers still swear by it.
@@indrekkelder7937 True. The title of the video is "...weapons still in use..."
I worked on and flew on the B-52's during the Vietnam War and also remember the KC-135's which was at every base I was assigned to. Those are great aircraft and the H model Buff was the first models I worked on and they was probably the best of them and good they are still in service.
Thank you for your service sir!
Thank you for your service!

Thank you for your service
My dad was stationed on Okinawa during the Vietnam war and said the loudest thing he ever heard was a near simultaneous take off of two B-52s and a KC-135 tanker (using a water injection system). He said it was louder and longer sustained noise than the 8" guns of a heavy cruiser he served on.
Thanks
Goes to show you that the stuff made back then lasts a hell of a lot longer than the stuff manufactured today for damns sure.
Garland? Really? Yeah I’m definitely shaking my head.
I think he pronounced it three different ways in this video.
@Shots Fired Shots Fired But people keep missing the fact he *got it right* first time and that deserves more comment. Easier to punch than caress, it seems.
@@KrillLiberator - It's more fun to dwell pointlessly on small mistakes than consider the overall value. I noticed that he pronounced it three different ways, and it jarred a little bit, but I've seen worse screwups, and on more important points, in other videos.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it
U. S. M1917 was the Main issue Rifle in U. S. Army use in WW1. When the U. S. entered WW1 the Springfield and Rock Island didn't have sufficient manufacturing capacity to arm the entire American Expeditionary Force. Winchester, Remington and the Remington Eddystone plant made over 3 times as many M1917 rifles as Gov't Arsenals made M1903 rifles.
More then 1,000,000 front line soldiers were armed with the M1917. Cpl Alvin C. York used one to win His Medal Of Honor.
The 1919 air cooled worked just fine on Higgins boats in nam... Thanks to Marine detatchments on my LPH; also had an M1 and 1911.felt secure approching any beach...
Good designs are timeless
the 50s seems to be an era when things were made most durable.
Sure was.
Interesting...regarding that the 3 most widely used electric guitars also stem from that era (Strat, Tele and Les Paul)
Forgot one on my favorites, the C-130. First flown 23 Aug 1956 and STILL IN PRODUCTION. Another classic from Kelly Johnson.

Surprising just long as the very great weapons performance perfectly on the fierce fighting battlefield! Have a great fabulous wonderful day.
Browning is to firearms, what Ford was to automobiles. Incredibly smart man, thank god he was on our side!
Great stuff! And here in England we had the Lee Enfield .303 rifle which also had quite a long service in the forces. Thanx for sharing.
Even longer in Canada. Rangers used the No.4 until 2015.
@@Crlarl Well I didn't know that!
The MA Deuce is also a ship board defense weapon on US Navy ships as well. And up until recently it was an aircraft crew served weapon (GAU-16 variant) onboard the HH-60H and MH-60R helicopters
I learned to shoot on a Winchester model 94 lever action rifle. As in 1894. Still in production today. So that's 127 years so far. Oh I was 6 years old, in the Yukon.
You missed the oldest weapon still in use. It is the 1859 Army Officer Saber now used as the Marine NCO sword since the Mameluke became standard issue Marine Officer sword.
Older than the Gurkha kukri, in use since the 7th century?
M60 was a PoS until the gas piston system was UF. I trained with the old & new series & the difference was important.
Gotta love the huey.
The Finnish Defence Force still uses Mosin-Nagants as sniper/marksman rifles, designated as 7.62 TKIV 85. They're heavily modified, but the receivers are unchanged. Some of the receivers are from older Mosins, some dating back to the 1890s.
I wouldn't really call the KC-135 a "weapon." It's a support system, yes, but not really a "weapon."
Dump the fuel and throw a zippo at it...
Logistics win wars.
that's what I said. I wouldn't call it a "weapon". Yes it's in the military but it doesn't actually attack anything.
2:30 That actually sounds like a literal saw
2:47: you know your in trouble when your boy Mario do be braking out the old m14
I thought this would be about OLD weapons. I expected them to talk about the knife, which is the oldest continuously used offensive weapon in existence, going back to pre-historic times. But they were interested in modern weapons, rather than old weapons.
Indeed! I was thinking about striking weapons,bayonets also,but what happened to the good old fashioned club(baton,stick,Baseball Bat,pickaxe handle,4x2)? which I believe is older even than the knife,f I were a soldier I think I would carry a clubbing type weapon as back up😁
Man wasn't around at the prehistoric era (over 2 million years ago).
i love that clip "its a machine gun"
The Huey is timeless
Yes
Only twenty years and can add my 1942 Enfield and Nagant. Love them Enfield my first hunting rifle. Now just fun to shoot. Son claimed the Nagant, good choice. Replaced by AR-10 308.
Remember see fist B-52 take off in 1959. Awe inspiring. C-130 fifty in three years. Was in facitlity in 1992 on sales visit. Amazing to see the plane in pieces during build. Then wondering if the C-130 circling a few months later was the test flight.
Old but gold

Ma Deuce, M60, and UH-1 💪🇺🇸 Great video! You missed the A10 though 🤔
A-10 was built in the same era as the F-15 and F-16 so it isn't quite there yet.
The a10 sucks lol. It’s ok for cas but it’s minigun is overplayed like it’s armor. It can’t survive any AAM or SAM, isn’t really that survivable and in desert storm most cas sorties where by the f-15. Its only real use is as COIN ops
You've forgotten the oldest of all : the USS Constitution.
She is fully re-commissioned as a Naval vessel. 👍
and USS Missouri?
@@MrCouchmen The Missouri was decommissioned 31 March ’92 and was stricken 12 January ‘95. Afterwards donated to a memorial association and is currently a museum ship in Pearl Harbor.
God bless America
It's fucking John the mother fucking king of guns Browning
When you've seen the video used in 7:09 so often you already laugh before the clip even plays xD 'Ha ha ha, OK'
little fun fact, as the M1903 Springfield is still considered the standard issue rifle of WW1 there were actually more 1917 Enfield rifles manufactured and issued to U.S Troops by a factor of 3 to 1
2:08 that BRRRTTTT was adorable.
It is cute, but the younger brother, the GAU-8 is more feared on the receiving end.
I smiled @7:14 when the US soldier reminded the German soldier that it was a machine gun. That was adorable.
anf after that the amecian reget this descision
Love them all, but especially the old .50 cal "Ma Deuce."
One man changed the course of history forever without nothing but his mind and his hands
I was surprised when the m60 was in this. I didn’t even know that was still in use
It's relegated to a secondary role, but in between then and now they've made some important improvements. The current production model is the M60E6. That model has been adopted by the Danish Army. It won the competition, amazingly enough, over a Heckler-Koch product!
They designed it in the 50's and they are still trying to sell the PIG. I think the mg42 was far better, as In the German type tends to go bang when you pull the trigger.
@@tomstevenson161 - One of the guys in the squad I led back in 1979 had a Silver Star from 'Nam. He got it for having single-handedly broken a VC ambush while on patrol, and he did it holding an M60. It definitely went bang when he pulled the trigger.
I always wondered if the voice on this channel is a computer. garland???? Now I’m convinced it is. No way this is a slip of the tongue.
@@stevesmith866 The "voice" is definitely not a computer. He has a few other UA-cam channels, and it's entirely possible to slip up the way you're talking about. He mispronounces it differently each time. Not what a computer generated voice would do.
My personal favorite is the 1911.
Such an iconic and truly remarkable feat of engineering that’s still holds well and looks so beautiful while doing so.
I can never unsee the KC 135 aka the Boeing 707 doing a barrel roll in an demonstration when it was first developed. That was 1955. I wish I was there. Just seen the plane and video in the Udvar Hazy center
The last B-52 pilot hasn't been born yet
