    I was in infantry training in South Africa in 1990 and one of my platoon friends was killed by the first shot he fired with the same type of launcher because of as they said faulty ammunition . It happened about 100m away from me and needless to say what he looked liked . Sad as we never used our training afterwards

    The original request from the army for a grenade launcher was that it would be a three-round semi-automatic launcher. They got one to work but the M79 was so simple and easy to use, just like a break-open shotgun, that everybody who tried it loved it. That's where it all began--sort of. Before WWII, there were light mortars in use, usually of about 50mm, in France, Germany, Russia, and Japan. Few remained in use by the end of the war. In contrast, everybody uses something like the 40mm grenade launcher.

    • @GTLandser
      @GTLandser 3 роки тому

      I agree 100% that it is an over-used and frequently mis-applied term, but it's still true that a weapon is a system: any weapon design reflects a certain employment or training philosophy. It also reflects the capabilities or limitations of a maintenance or spare parts organization behind that. And the basis of issue also reflects certain budgetary realities: there is a reason that a weapon such as the M32 is primarily issued to SOF. They have the hand-selected personnel and other resources (prime among them being budget for training time and ammo) that conventional units simply do not have.
      To the extent that sales people over-apply the term, or gun enthusiasts (in uniform or without) misuse use the term, yes, it is a very dumb term. Even a dangerous term. But it is also one of the critical differences between militaries that perform to a high level, and those that do not.
      It is the archer, not the arrow, that makes all the difference.

    Hey Larry, any chance on doing a video with the FAMAS? I saw you recently posted some pictures of what I assume is one of the few Century FAMAS imported in the country. Personally, I was fortunate enough to handle one in person but the gun had never been fired so obviously I did not get the opportunity to shoot it, but I was also not able to get an answer on whether any of the FAMAS variants have a bolt last round hold open. Maybe you could give us some input on the gun as well as how it compares to the evolutions today in the French military. Kind of one of those guns that's pretty interesting just because it's so different. Obviously with pretty much every Special Operations world-wide using M4 variants, I think it's safe to say we got it pretty good in the U.S, but nevertheless the FAMAS is one cool and interesting looking gun. Thanks for the cool content, LAV!

    • @andro7862
      @andro7862 5 років тому

      @morton christie No, they lived in slums under the firm heel of the SA police. The problem is that they were deliberately held in townships and bantustans while the ruling minority lived very comfortably. They may have lived marginally better than their neighbours but they were still very poor and were not free in their own country. Their living conditions and freedoms are incomparable to life in eastern Europe. My mother grew up in the USSR and even though they were poor, they were all well educated and not bound by any apartheid like system.

    • @andro7862
      @andro7862 5 років тому +1

      @morton christie Ah yes the old excuse "They would fall apart without an oppressive regime". Tell me, how many black south africans would now go back to the time of apartheid? Do they not practically worship Nelson Mandela?
      You say a black man could buy these things if he had the money, but where in the world would he get the money? Compared to the whites, they were dirt poor. No oppurtunities in life at all, just because of the colour of their skin. Life in the USSR was no fairytale, but at least my mother had a flat and didn't live in an overcrowded slum. They didn't discriminate for something you can never choose and everyone was educated. If I had to choose I would pick living in the USSR anyday over being a black man in South Africa during the 70s or 80s. Because I'd rather be poor than poor and beaten up.
