The Hague Convention of 1899 regulates exploding or expanding bullets. A lot of it is based on a document Abraham Lincoln wrote regulating the rules of war followed by the Union Army during the American Civil War. The British Dum Dum Arsenal in India made "Dum Dum" bullets which had an "X" engraved in their tip to make them expand when they hit their target. The Hague convention attendees thought that soft nose or hollowpoint (Dum Dum) bullets (like hunters use) were inhumane to use in warfare, so they outlawed them. The US and Great Britain didn't agree, so they didn't sign off on that part, but they still follow the rules, assuming that other countries they fight against will follow them, too. Of course police and citizens can use any ammo they want to and military police organizations can use hollowpoints, just not in warfare. And there are certain designs of bullets like Open Tip Match rounds used by snipers, which are technically hollowpoint, but designed for better accuracy, not greater lethality. The US has some really good lawyers. :) A lot of the Hague Convention and following Geneva Convention rules were violated during WW1, like outlawing poisonous gas and other stuff about prisoners of war and medics.
YES, you definitely need to check out his part 1 "US Spent $$$$$$$$$ to make a new assault rifle only to find out putting a scope on the rifle works better"
Our anti-air missile also target the cockpit. Like specifically they’re designed to hit the pilot, so you either eject and get a telephone pole sized enema traveling at Mach Jesus, or you explode into meaty burning giblets anyways.
Think the work around for that is the missile is actually zeroing in on the highest concentration of electrical energy. That would be the avionics section of any aircraft…outside of a thunderstorm. Given this, it is easily understood that chaff and flare throw off certain missile guidance systems. Targeting the highest source of electricity and possibly radio waves is much less complicated. It just happens to be where the pilot Is sitting lol.
The irony is they could have saved this whole thing, because the new slightly upsized grenades would have only needed to be made a little bit bigger to reach the cutoff to qualify as ordinance. Yes, it was a warcrime from it's inception, but they could have retired it and made a version with slightly bigger grenades. Instead, they killed the very idea of it because they were terrified of backlash. There's still a totally valid weapon platform design here, but it will probably never see the light of day. A lot of R&D is like that.
No they couldn't, the grenade would be like 3 inches wide. Even the 40mm is too small, the kick would knock you on your ass. The 40mm is low velocity which is why the recoil is minimal and explodes on impact which is why it is ordinance. There is no way to make it technically legal
@@Dave-lh6ws maybe make it so that a impact overrides the air burst so that it can't go through things(or in the case of why this is a warcrime people)? not sure if that is actually possible but that's the only way i see this working. Far as i know as long as it can't go into someone before exploding its legal(as im typing i just had a thought about what happens if the round is a dud so depending on if the law takes into account duds or not this will or will not work).
One of the guys on Unsubscribe (where FE is also a host) was involved in a firefight in Kuwait (I think) and their guy with the grenade launcher hit the gunman with a grenade. Instant bologna mist (and one hell of a shot!). Grenades are technically anti-structure, not meant to be used against single live targets but whatever. It ended a bad situation and likely saved lives. Funny story when Eli tells it, though. Brandon Herrara has a gun video that features the one Nick referenced that has a "grandfather clock" inside it. If I can find it again, I'll link it for you. It's a pretty wild (and impractical for several reasons) design.
In the forgotten weapons vid of the gun, one of the comments stated that the gun's mechanism is not meant to be repaired. The weapon system is related to the German's doctrine of holding the line 'til the allies get in. That means fire rounds to oncoming Russians in the fulda gap fast and aggressive enough. That's why the burst fire feature, which needed that grandfather clock mechanism to make that ridiculously fast three round burst. Yeah, the idea is use the gun' til it wears out, then get another one & do it again. A disposable gun, in a sense Leopard 2s are also included in their doctrine, as stated in that comment. Shoot & scoot fast and aggressive enough P. S. : pls don't quote me on that, that's what I read in the comment section
@jehoiakimelidoronila5450 that would make sense (from a politician's POV anyway, not a soldier's) since I also heard they employed clockmakers to create that mechanism. In other words, unless you're a watch/clock maker, you'd have no idea how to repair the mechanism if it did break and you'd need watchmaker's tools to repair it. Overall impractical in battle as anything but a throwaway gun.
@@JaxMerrickI believe so. Haven't found the video I mentioned. Not that watching a bunch of Brandon Herrera gun vids is a hardship, lol. I'll come across it eventually.
@@Nitehawke Well, I don't remember when Brandon did a video on the G11, but I distinctly remember it from both Forgotten Weapons and MikeBurnFire's Zach's Gun Rants.
The coolest part of the OICW program is the optic that has all the bells and whistles and definitely inspired half the stuff they put in the new scope they're fielding for the M-5/7 and M-250. It has laser range finding, programmable target designation (up to ten different targets at different ranges), video feed, built in thermal, built in night vision, IR laser sight, and can send a signal to everyone up and down the chain of command, and automatically adjusts for temperature and barometric pressure.
The standard in underslung grenade launchers and dedicated bloop toobs is 40mm. Colt made a primitive and relatively fragile underslung grenade launcher during the Vietnam war, mostly by the Special Forces and SEALs so they could have as much firepower in a small team that a full platoon would have. Regular squads had a dedicated grenadier who carried a single shot 40mm grenade launcher called the M-79. It looked a lot like a bigass sawed off shotgun. A safety feature built into the 40mm grenade is a delay mechanism where the shell doesn't arm itself until it's a certain distance away from the operator so they won't blow themselves up by accident if the shell hit a tree branch or something on the way to the target. Later, the M-79 was phased out and the grenadiers were armed with M-16's with the M-203 underslung. Now the Army uses a grenade launcher designed by H&K and the US Marine grenadiers use the MLKOR, a big ass revolver that shoots 40mm grenades. As a support weapon fired from tripods or vehicles, they have the Mark 19, which is a full auto (but slow rate of fire) 40mm grenade launcher that fires more powerful shells with a longer range. 40mm is bigger than 25mm, so it can hold more explosives, so the explosion is bigger, there's more shrapnel, 40mm is just better all around. In the US, a stand alone grenade launcher like an M-79 or MLKOR (or an M203 not mounted to a rifle) is regulated the same as a handgun. If you're 21 without a criminal record, you can buy one. The grenades are regulated a LOT more. If you have an explosive grenade, you have to have a special license and you have to pay a $200 tax for each grenade and there are strict requirements for storage, since it's explosive. Basically the same regulations as dynamite. They do have inert chalk practice rounds anyone can buy as long as the blank that propels the shell isn't installed. Blanks aren't regulated, either, because they're blanks.
Yo, you really should consider doing the Fat Electrician video about the horse Sargent Wreckless in the Korean War. That story needs to be a movie for real.
They also left out one of the best things about the M-16 design. It was a simple design. The average soldier could break it down and put it back together in under two minutes. Even qiicker in some cases. The design was intentional to have a reliable weapon that the average soldier could repair himself out in the field of battle of he had to. Plus all the parts were identical and interchangeable between guns.
The XM-29 was actually in the old school Ghost Recon games and was absolutely the greatest weapon in the game. Hands down, no contest. The programable smart grenades airburst made it almost impossible to lose without actively trying.
Wasn't the plan originally to outfit all infantry with the new scopes? Its basically an aimbot with new thermal technology, range finder, etc. XM-250 or something? Garand Thumb had a video on it.@@armandomunoz276
@9:00 we are fantastic at designing microchips but we get taiwan, japan or china to make almost all of them. They have built a few plants in the US but it would be insane to try and bring all of the manufacturing home.
@@ZeroTolerance-tk9ce yes, also because the factories that make these things cost an ungodly amount of money, so if you are building them from the ground up and not just retooling from an old setup your going to be running in the red for years. Like 5 years ago I think it cost skhynix (ram manufacturer) something around 5-10 billion to build a new facility
In my day of serving the M14 was the weapon of choice. Once the M16 came about, not impressed. So I found a WW 11 Ithaca Combat 37 12 gauge shotgun, 9 shot, of, 00 Buck-shot. Gold hunting scenes on each side. One side of Fowl hunting, other Big Game hunting. Loaded from the bottom, ejected from same. No more loading clips in the dark. Try that at night for the M14 or M16. Thats never in the movies!
This video reminded me of the noobtube in CoD4. I was a smart mobile camper with claymores. I used claymores for audible detection, because hardcore search and destroy is the best. I miss the late 2000s. Haha
There is a Xbox 360 Ghost Recon that has this weapon platform and I used this with the GL and the Rifle as a back up; but as soon as I saw an enemy hide behind something I just used the GL with the XM-29! And it was very successful with the GL! But the Gun portion became the XM-8!!!!
We've long had the grenadier issue figured out. The m-203 would be attached to the grenadiers rifle. Not as high tech but if you had a good grenadier still highly effective
Just a head's up , the m sixteen is no longer the go to for the military hasn't been since the eighties It's been the M4 for a long time Which is now become absolutely and we'll be getting a new main battle rifle soon.
The military has long moved away from the M16, our primary service weapon has been various versions of the M4 for years now. It's all I ever used when I served
That was a rumor. Used m-16' s in my early days in the 90's of you took proper care of it it worked fine. The same things that would cause any weapon to jam would cause your m-16 to jam. Those stories were overblown. Also, the m-4 is a direct derivative of the m-16 so it's not really that different a weapon system as a whole
I don't understand why they needed a new weapon. We already had a M16 M203 . That's literally an M16 with an M203 grande launcher mounted underneath the barrel. Used them many times. In the Vietnam era they only had a separate weapon that only launched grandes lovingly called a "Thumper".
The number one reason it failed was that 20mm grenades weren't lethal enough. The 40mm launcher under the M-16 was much more effective and already in service. I think it was a minimum of 25mm before the grenade was combat effective. See the XM25 CDTE. So far, they've stuck with the 40mm.
Stuff like this is why the US is so deeply in debt, and why the government is constantly pulling it's "we need to extend the debt limit, or we'll have to stop paying everyone but the politicians" BS.
I don't believe our united states would do anything that wasn't in our best interest. What to our best interest is also in the best interests of our brothers Cross the pond as they say.....
Battlefield players know how convenient it is to remove 90% of the enemy’s cover without having to flank them. XM25 is a tactical masterpiece of a weapon. You no longer need enough firepower to obliterate a wall to deal with the threats behind it.
It's not a war-crime if you're the victor. I would just continue to develop the weapon and its systems despite the Geneva Convention because quite honestly, it's just the Geneva Checklist anyway.
Also, meanwhile now you know that although all these countries claim to have created new war tech, once in use they fail ie China and Russia. Because as we in the US know it takes decades and decades of development to get to the end product and even that is run in Cascade ie always in a cycle of testing, use and development. China is learning this the hard way because just because you can reverse engineer doesn't mean you know how to upgrade and fix it because if you aren't the one that created the tech you won't know all the tiny intricacies down to the exact metal composure of every single part individually.
Why are people complaining about 300 million? When are people going to realize that research and development of any new experimental Tech is very expensive there's no way around that.
I'm an American citizen, and I saddened by the waste our military keeps pushing crap onto our soldiers. I'm 'ok' with equipping our soldiers. But the waste is profound.
Microchips the higher level higher quality ones are made in Taiwan, the rest in China. That's why China wants Taiwan because China also isn't the best at making microchips they are subpar. As a matter of fact China has people who's jobs are to with there all day removing microchips from old things to reuse them in the factories. This is Taiwan needs to be protected by the world at all costs per many government's. That's what I learned after watching 2 different hour long documentaries.
Another stupid thing he said is "we're not good at making micro chips". When all the best micro processors are ALL AMERICAN companies. Intel, AMD, Radeon and Nvidia... Yes, all American companies. The production is being moved to America now but has been made in Taiwan under contract by these companies.
You would generally not point at I'm a glad to know good questions. Judges, that's the video grenade launcher at a human being. You'd point it at a tank or a vehicle something you're trying to disable. A rpg would fly right through a human being and wouldn't go off... We don't maintain that density that a steal tank does.
It's not a war crime the first time.
Words from only the wisest men

Not exactly an AR. The M4 is just a shorter, lighter variant of the M16. The AR15 has a different bolt carrier to make it semi-auto only.
Nope. They could have Lithium batteries like phones, and most rechargeable things do, with pocket re-chargers.

These things would have been perfect for WW1 trench warfare. Now a days, not so much but as an exception
Why are people complaining about 300 million? When are people going to realize that research and development of any new experimental Tech is very expensive there's no way around that.
I'm an American citizen, and I saddened by the waste our military keeps pushing crap onto our soldiers. I'm 'ok' with equipping our soldiers. But the waste is profound.
The idea of placing rules on warfare is absurd.
Ha haaaaaaa and the Germans flipped out about 12ga shot guns
We replaced the m16 years ago with the m4 what is this dude on about? Hahaha
Only America.
It’s not our future weapon the would be misleading. It is more or less just a prototype weapon to test a concept
BMM5K
The grenade launcher is in payday 2
Microchips the higher level higher quality ones are made in Taiwan, the rest in China. That's why China wants Taiwan because China also isn't the best at making microchips they are subpar. As a matter of fact China has people who's jobs are to with there all day removing microchips from old things to reuse them in the factories. This is Taiwan needs to be protected by the world at all costs per many government's. That's what I learned after watching 2 different hour long documentaries.
Another stupid thing he said is "we're not good at making micro chips". When all the best micro processors are ALL AMERICAN companies. Intel, AMD, Radeon and Nvidia... Yes, all American companies. The production is being moved to America now but has been made in Taiwan under contract by these companies.
Many people I follow get followed so its nice.
Fun fact: 😅 US retired military equipment goes into our police departments 😅
Hi George Floyd ☺️ 😅😂
The thing is the XM8 doesn’t even look cool. It just looks cursed af.
Why the USA doesn't have National healthcare.
You badly need to go look at the other video... yes, we were insane. Sorry.
Really? What situation doesn’t call for a grenade?
Outrageous stupid but believable
You would generally not point at I'm a glad to know good questions. Judges, that's the video grenade launcher at a human being. You'd point it at a tank or a vehicle something you're trying to disable. A rpg would fly right through a human being and wouldn't go off...
We don't maintain that density that a steal tank does.
Basically they wasted money to justify wasting money.
Who cares what Geneva thinks?
The M16 was used to injure instead of kill. The reason was, it took more enemy soldiers to care for a wounded soldier than a dead one.
3:42 this is why the US doesn't have socialized medicine tbh
Sadly the m16 is a shit gun, my uncle had many offers from yanks in Vietnam to swap his SLR rifle for the M16 5.56 mm versus 7.62mm no jamming .
I be using the m16 with a gernade launcher on cod 😅 add Bettywhite on activation 😂
Day 2 of asking for a reaction of the m50 ontos video from TFE 🥹
