      More than 10 years of constant ( and retarded ) french bashing, with some rubbish still present today, and i can't even get ironical about that. Bloody hell, man.

It's so hard to even have anything regarding France with out someone meting the coward stereotype and it makes me feel as if I am drowning because of how inescapable it is haha
      I don't think it is that bad but does deserve some ridicule. People wouldn't have called it, "the best single shot rifle of ww1," if it didn't deserve it haha.

    The French are often the butt of military jokes but lest we forget, they're also one of a rather small handful of nations that came close to conquering all of Europe, and like at least one of those they made the bitter mistake of invading Russia, which was more or less the only thing that stopped them.

    Solid gun for its time even though it has its flaws; the Lebel was still reliable and accurate for French troops.
    If possible, I would like to see a video about the Berthier Modèle 1907/15 or Modèle 1907/16, the rifle that was designed to replace the Lebel in the French army during WW1. From what I could get, Berthier rifles and carbines served quite a long time for French military and police units.

    • @shashumgar235

      @MilsurpWorld 8 років тому +42

      That's not the case with every weapon. The M16/AR15 has been in service for 52 years and is still very relevant. The Lebel was surpassed in 2 years by the G88 and was obsolete in less than 20 years which is why the French developed the Berthier.

    • @MilsurpWorld
      @MilsurpWorld 8 років тому +14

      I hate to break it to you but the M1911A1 is not being reintroduced as the general issued sidearm. The Glock 19 however is seeing increased use by MARSOC and SOCOM and some say the Army might adopt it because of the other branches using it.

    • @MilsurpWorld
      @MilsurpWorld 8 років тому +5

      The Glock 19 is in 9mm. It is the Gen 3 version also. I doubt the United States will adopt a caliber outside of the NATO standard. Especially since the military is wanting 9mm hollow points now that makes very little reason to go to 45.

    • @MilsurpWorld
      @MilsurpWorld 8 років тому +2

      Glocks have been around for over 30 years and are used by thousands of police and militaries around the world. I would say that 9mm hollow points can outperform 45 FMJ. There's a reason why 9mm has been used to shoot people for over 100 years.

  • @0jutai
    @0jutai 8 років тому +49

    So, I know I'm gonna get blasted for being brought here by Battlefield, but I'm curious about something about the lebel in the game.
    When the character loads the last round into the gun, they do this weird thing where it looks like they pull the bolt twice, before locking it to the side. What exactly is that supposed to be doing? I didn't see you do anything similar in the video, and it looks really strange in the game.

    • @marshallperry2446
      @marshallperry2446 8 років тому +43

      They are causing a round to go come out of the magazine with the first bolt use, and when they slide it back and close it they are fully chambering it. That's the downside of tube magazine fed bolt actions.

    If I'm not mistaken, the British Lee-Enfield (or at least some early versions of them) also featured a magazine cut-off. The soldiers would load 5 or 10 rounds in the magazine as a reserve, and use single loading for long range fire exchange with entrenched forces. When the shit hit the fan and rapid, uninterrupted fire was necessary, the magazine cut-off was released and shots could be fired in rapid succession.

    • @tfbtv

    I always liked the Lebel, especially the shape of the bolt-handle. Also, there is something very Winchester-looking about the receiver being a box with exposed metal on the sides of the rifle, not nested down in the wood like Mausers, Springfields, & Mosins. Did it get outclassed by other rifles in short order? Yes. But the French, it should be noted, never surrendered in WWI. They & the Germans instead turned places like Verdun into massive slaughterhouses. Tragic as hell when you really think about it...

      Some dude bought it from a surplus shop back in the day, dipped into some shine while popping off some rounds, and left it while he stumbled back to his truck would be my guess.

    nice vid love the lebel but damb that bolt i have 3 and they cycle perfect, someday you guys should do a vid of the 1889 Nagant rifle, for those who dont know this gun it is not a mosin nagant just a nagant model 89. my grandfather has one and he got it from his grandfather who somehow acquired it in ww1 i been trying to talk him out of it so i could have it put on display at the local firearms museum i work at but he wont budge. it is a very cool gun and very rare never seen one in my life and i have seen just about everything in the gun world at one time or another.

    • @Pussilover56
      @Pussilover56 8 років тому

      It's simple. "Mauser" invented by Mauser , and "Mosin" invented by Nagant .
      Both rifles are quite good. "Mauser" little better, but the "Mosin-Nagant" also good.
      I have both, I know what I'm talking about.

    Would it ever be possible to get a hold of an L85A2 for review? It would be nice to dispel the myths a lot of people hear and believe about that rifle having never even seen one up close. I served with one, and i loved mine.It's silly accurate, silly reliable and very easy to handle, not having much metal in front of the supporting hand. If a bit heavy. Great video on a french legend btw.

    To the person who said only 2400 fps look at the velocity of a 8 mm mauser with a 196 grain bullet or a 3040 krag. In the same ballpark as well as 3003 with a 220 grain bullet. bullet.
