Very nice! How long ago did you get it? My buddy has the other version of Russian 50mm, and I just got a 60mm firing. We are making our own ammo to keep from buying more of it, especially the expensive 50mm stuff
I like how the video said that "in the hands of experts", because almost 2/3 of the GI deploy in WWII was just average civilians that was tought how to load a gun and pull the trigger and nothing more. Most of them don't even know how to use half of the gear shown in this video and was thrown into the battlefield to die, let alone that they expect to know battle tactics.
Any soldier ever is a civilian given a weapon? The US soldiers had plenty of training state side and did pretty well against the Germans, Italians, and Japanese
@@diehard2705 Look up WW1&2 conscription before brain farting, they do not train them like how we trained our soldiers of today. Back then, they put them in a "camp" to dress them up, show them how to reload and how to point & pull the trigger and ship them out within a few days; they get a truck driving lesson if they have the time and that's what they called standard army training back then. Even the leading classes of the military of those days realized that all those soldiers are just cannon fobbers only there to burn up the other side's ammo to starve them out and win by out logi them. The truth was that WW2 was not won because the allies had a bigger stick, they won because of their back line logi and they had more than enough meat to clog and made the meat grinder's blades dull. True that they have the rangers/commandos with much more trainings back in WW2 but they made up less than 1% of the total army and they are not like how they were represented in video games where everyone is a bad @$$ rambo.
moonmoonbirdcpt Boot Camp for the marine corps was 12 weeks long at the start of ww2 (a week shorter than it is today) and was accelerated to 6 weeks of training after the attack on Pearl Harbor. 6 weeks is a lot more than a few days, as you just said. Soldiers were trained how to march, shoot, maneuver, use specialty weapons or do specialty tasks depending on their jobs, etc. Allied soldiers were trained pretty well for the duration of the war, both through their basic training camps and through the shared experience of older soldiers (who didn’t always share their wisdom with recruits). Soldiers in the Allied forces were trained significantly better than the German forces by the end of the war, who’s training consisted of learning through experience with little to no prior training. Yes the industrial might of the United States won the war in combination with many other things, but our soldiers were equally as trained and experienced as the Germans and Japanese. The largest factor in the continued fighting of axis forces post 1944 was fanaticism
its a special blank round. from wikipedia: Rifle Grenade Cartridges, M1, M2, and M3/E1: These cartridges are used in conjunction with the M1 (for the M1903 rifle), M2 (for the M1917 rifle), and the M7 series (for the M1 rifle) grenade launchers to propel rifle grenades. The cartridge has no bullet and the mouth is crimped. The differences between the three cartridges have to do with the powder charge and the subsequent range of the launched grenade. The M3E1 featured an extended case neck.[25][26] The Grenade Blanks were issued in double-rowed 10-round cartons, usually as part of a set with the M13 metal Grenade Launcher Assortment ammo can
Kirz94 - it depends on the Rifle Grenade. Most Rifle Grenades through history used a special high power blank designed for firing rifle grenades. the normal blanks don't have enough power for any real range (which is fine if your using practice or dummy rifle grenades) which is why us use a special blank [WARNING: NEVER EVER USE THE HOLLYWOOD/MOVIE BLANKS. THEY ARE FAR TO POWERFUL, AND WILL CAUSE DAMAGE, INJURY OR WORSE] Now originally, when you pulled the rifle grenade from it's shipping tube, you would find a cork in the bottom of the rifle grenade.. this way you could get rid of the shipping tubes to save weight, and when you wanted to fire one of the grenades, you pulled the cork out of the bottom, and you would find a rifle grenade launching blank. now rifles that have built in rifle grenade launchers, or the separate launchers that would simply attach to the M1 Garand (which would automatically shut off the gas system for max range) you will almost always find a series of rings on the launcher.. these rings allow you to adjust the distance the grenade traveled, starting at the end, and moving towards the butt stock until you run out of rings. You just placed the blank in the chamber of the rifle, and then place the grenade on the launcher. the farther you slide the grenade on the launcher, the longer the range the grenade will travel. for max distance, just slide the grenade on the launcher all the way until it stops, then place the butt of the rifle on the ground, with the rifle at a 45 degree angle.. aim...(using the attached launcher) and fire.... just as if it was a 60mm mortar or British 2 inch mortar. note: All current @22 from their flash hiders without the use of an adapter. Smaller rifle grenades can be fired from the shoulder, but they all have significant recoil especially the US M31 HEAT rifle grenade and the Energa anti-tank rifle grenade's. Starting with the FRENCH AC58 Anti-Armor rifle grenade and the APAV40 dual purpose, anti-personnel (AP) and anti-vehicle (AV), 40 mm rifle-grenade F1 Model's used Rifle Grenade Launching Blanks, but everything changed with the F2 model, which uses a bullet-trap that allows using live rounds to fire them. (DO NOT USE LIVE (BALL) AMMUNITION TO FIRE A RIFLE GRENADE THAT DOES NOT HAVE A BULLET TRAP !). On today's battlefield, if you open the shipping tube and there is a rifle grenade launching blank inside... you use it. if there is no blank inside, it should say something on the grenade to indicate the use of ball ammunition use to launch the grenade. if you were to find a rifle grenade laying on the ground... DON"T SCREW WITH IT... it's likely a booby trap.... Currently, most countries use bullet traps on their rifle grenades, but don't assume that all are bullet traps, because they could have been pulled from OLD STOCK. WHAT ABOUT PRACTICE RIFLE GRENADES? ALWAYS..... use rifle grenade launching blanks when using practice rifle grenades.. why? because they will last much longer... because they are not designed to be fired through or into a bullet trap more than once.... I have yet too cover rifle grenades on this channel, BUT it is something I'm intended on doing in the future, along with a whole video series on grenade and flare launchers and ammunition. I have some reusable 26.5mm and 37mm cartridges and projectiles. As for Rifle Grenades? I just happen to be an inert ordnance collector, with a small collection of inert practice rifle grenades. Being a disabled veteran, living on army disability pay, I no longer have the funds to purchase anything anymore. in fact, the only reason why we have not produced any more videos, is because my PC died. when a new PC can be obtained, I fully intend to produce videos again. I have a number of items waiting for a computer to do the video editing on... and the videos on this channel will be much better than before.... lol, I guess I should be collecting donations to make it happen much sooner. My health has been declining since I have not been able to shoot videos..... A number of operations, and recently told that I also have type 2 Diabetes as well as COPD (who knew that was fatal?) as well as the spinal injury's and chronic pain from the first gulf war. I would rather be producing videos, and sharing the knowledge I gained in my 16 years service as a master armorer, then sitting here waiting for and/or hoping for the funds to get back to shooting videos.
Well interesting to see what they taught the soldiers back then. I woulnt say that all is true what they say or in the case of the fosforus grenade, legal. Legal for smoke screen yes, but illegal to use on others. But no country tells its soldiers the truth, it must be instilled in them that just there training and weapons are the best.
240p? pffft what is this? 1943?
So fucking bad ass. "That German 75 isn't worth a damn without a crew!"
they meant pak p37mm
very good demonstration of what different weapons do

Great.. now I want the German edition!

This weapon can stop a tank @200 yards.No wonder we never stopped those Panzers.
What a mess, enemies have deadly weapons too !
Yeah well this is propaganda
Thanks for the vid very interesting
Cool video.
Probably produced in Hollywood.
It should be .45 cal pistol, not 45mm.
1940's can of whoop ass.
