    It's lucky for the Allies that the Germans never thought to combine two StG 44s into an StG 88...

      Do WW2 movies really show German weapons being superior to Allied weapons? Or Allied tanks being inferior to German tanks? Is that narrative really pushed so that the Allied characters have to rely on out-of-the-box strategies to win? I mean with all due respect, isn’t a gun just a gun?

      Okay but unironically this is what happened with the stg 44. Metallurgy wasn't good enough yet so most of them wouldn't work even new. The early AKs had the same problem. It was surprising how important the metal you use for a firearm is and how far metallurgy has come since even just the 1940s

      I've shot all the major rifles from WWII, and own (or have owned) most of them, and the Carbine is my favorite WWII rifle by a long way.

      The M1 Carbine was really ahead of it's time. It's short, lightweight, fires an intermediate round, and was the first mass produced military rifle that had detachable mags. It's very underrated and never gets the credit it deserves. People compare it to main battle rifles like the Garand, which is unfair. When you compare it to other rear line rifles like the M38 Mosin and Type 44 Arisaka, it is head and shoulders better than its piers.

  • @TheOz91
    @TheOz91 Рік тому +125

    One interesting thing about the earlier MG-42 is how it had the tendency to fire out of battery sometimes because bolt bounces on the breech face. Good thing in the late war that Germany started using steel cased ammunition so damage from OOB discharges were minimal. Later MG-42s and modifications made post-war introduced a spring to prevent bouncing, which carried over to the MG-3, naturally.
    Mind you, steel cased ammunition was terrible for the regular rifleman. If the Mauser gets heat up even a tiny bit, you will start getting stuck cases. Not that the typical German soldier was expected to shoot rapidly; they relied so much on the machine gun that the training for the rifleman involved mainly snap shooting and not quick follow up shots unlike the British.
    And the British and Commonwealth still trained their soldiers rapid fire despite the infantry became Bren gun magazine carriers. One way to get around that particular limitation--make everybody carry ammo and also have a device that can quickly load Bren gun magazines with standard Lee-Enfield chargers/stripper clips.
    Surprised that the BAR didn't take the mention, but the US Army did make a really bad decision with the M1918A2. It's still functioned as intended, of course, but the US military refused to modernized the BAR despite the Colt Monitor existed and FN in Europe had the D model, both the latter featured pistol grips. And oh, it should be noted that the FN MAG machine gun and thus the M240 is really a BAR on the inside turned upside down and made to be belt-fed.

      The M1918A2 was also a poor attempt at converting the original to an LMG, the overcomplicated rate of fire reducer, downgraded sights, weird superfluous features like the magazine guides, and retention of the light barrel while European BARs had adopted heavy quick change barrels, meant that it was poorly suited for light machine gun roles, and troops in the field tended to use it like browning originally intended, from the shoulder, where one can’t help but wonder if the original 8 pounds lighter semiauto capable model would’ve been more practical

    The M1 Carbine is a beautiful weapon. It is balanced very well and is extremely handy rifle. The recoil is essentially not there. The Garand is an excellent rifle, and Garand thumb is avoidable with practice. You guys need to cross the pond and come to US to get your hands on the real stuff. Some places have MG42s for rent (they are legal to own due to their age after a special background check, way more thorough than normal, but they are cost prohibitive for most people). Have a Merry Christmas!

    Chauchat was a crazy good weapon especialy for its Time , above everything else back then , americans just didnt use the right ammo for it which gave its Bad rep, while in the French's hands it worked better than anything else back then.

      30-06 was too heavy a round for it to handle. The aluminum parts of the gun would overheat, expand and choke the mechanism.
      Chauchat was definitely revolutionary for it's time, but it was still a product of its time, a point where small arms were rapidly advancing.

      @@timtheskeptic1147 I understand the French manufacturer got the dimensions of the .30-06 chamber wrong, also. A little too tight. That's a problem converting inch dimensions to metric. And the quality control overall was lacking. A well made Chauchat in 8mm Lebel worked reasonably well.
