I remember a big advantage of the 40 was it was very easy to convert to 357sig. I remember back around 2000, this was a huge selling point for .40 guns. I bought a SW Sigma with the intention of converting. 357 SIG. It was supposed to be the cartridge of the future, but not many guns were chambered for it. Thus all the conversion kits, some of which were of dubious safety. 357 Sig never took off, and kinda faded though.

Hey Ian, 2 things that might be interesting to you. First, have you ever read about Lt. Gen. Mitch Werbell? He was the guy who developed the sionics suppressor for the Mac machine guns. He was an incredibly interesting guy, during WW2 he was in all over South Asia and Indochina with the OSS. He was involved in MACV SOG missions in Vietnam. He claims he was involved in the numerous subversion/anti communist covert action missions through the 60s. He was involved in Afghanistan providing security training for the afghan royal family and combatting communist influence pre soviet invasion. He was a huge personality and definitely made some enemies in the foreign policy elite but was close enough to the CIA because of his time in OSS that he was either tasked with, or undertook on his own initiative some really insane ops. He was also involved in training for Rhodesian and South African contractors which turned into a tactical training company. Just thought that he would be someone that you would be interested in reading or researching. The second thing is that the Hashemite kingdom does in fact have one of the most extensive small arms collections in the world. King Hussein was very much a student of history and small arms enthusiast and King Abdullah II is the same way. King Abdullah is also a huge supporter of special operations and has ran participated in classes/ drills with members of our special operations units. One of the most technologically advanced simulated battlefields in the world is located in Jordan called K.A.S.O.T.C

You (and others) have said that the MG34 and MG42 were head and shoulders above the rest the best GPMGs of WWII; how do they compare to their modern equivalents? I know many countries still use the MG3 to this day--how does that compare to say a MAG58/M240, or say the PKM? What pros and cons do they all bring to the table? Is there a next generation GPMG on the market or on the near horizon (like say the Knights Armament offerings) that could potentially supersede the current lineup?
@SnarkyPosters
6 жыл бұрын
Of the ones that you have mentioned, the MAG58/M240 is the heaviest at 26lb with the MG34/42/3 second at just over 23lb and the PKM at just under 17lb as the lightest. The MAG58/M240 is just an upside down BAR with a MG42 feed tray, the MG34/42/3 is a roller locked recoil operated gun and the PKM is more of a scaled up AK then anything else. For carrying the PKM is the current favorite of most of the SpecOps guys and Taliban approved. :D For a sustained fire role the MG34/42/3 is probably the best with no gas system to clean, just keep swapping barrels when you change belts and it will run until you are out of ammo. Col. George M. Chinn (the guy who literally wrote the book on The Machine Gun, all five volumes) thought very highly of it.
@riverstyxarmory9782

Alex Vogel the new knights armament is very nice, brings the GPMG back into the realm of shoulder fired, instead of just called over the shoulder and fired sometimes. I'm not sure how the KAC runs in continues fire, which is key. clearly the MG 34/42 was made for it without a doubt. Now, that is a comparison of a "SAW" from KAC to GPMGs, or a "light GPMG" because someone told me that once. I'd love to compare the KAC in. 308 and see how it does in supporting roles, such as vehicle mounts, very long periods of sustained fire, and just general overall long term use characteristics.

I heard several self proclaimed historians give specific numbers for how many arrows a English longbow archer could fire per minute. That always struck me as very dubious. We're talking about the 12th century here. Not only was that a time when most people still measured time by looking at the sun and by how fast candles burned down, but also, as far as I know, the concept of "a minute" as a unit of time measurement wasn't even a thing back then. Originally, a minute, like a second, are geometrical, mathematical units for the measurements of the circumference of a circle. We only use them as a measurement of time today, because we associate time the the round dial of mechanical clocks. Mechanical clocks were invented around the same time as the longbow, in the 12th century and it took centuries for them to become common and widespread enough for becoming a major means of measuring time. In the age of the longbow, mechanical dial clocks were still weird oddities, only known to a hand full of "wizzards" and about as rare as atomic clocks are today. The point being, even if they would have been able to segment a day and an hour into smaller units, using candles and hourglasses, they would have had no reason to use units associated with circles, like minutes and seconds. They would probably have divided an hour into 2, 3 or 4 smaller units, but why 60, even if they would have called it something else but minutes? Sure, there were sun dial clocks, but they were rare and unreliable in cold, cloudy northern Europe and you can't really derive the concept of minutes and seconds from them, despite being round, because the shadow doesn't move over the circle at a steady speed, so minutes and seconds would have been of different length, depending on what time it was. I guess they could first have normalized candles and hourglasses to a point where they could have gotten quarter hours relatively precise and then have an archer shoot for a whole quarter hour and record that number, so later historians would have been able to divide the number by 15 to get a "arrow per minute" number, but that seems very, very unlikely to me, especially considering that back then, even the average nobleman was barely able to read or count to high numbers, let alone some "chief archer", or whatever the leader of a unit of archers might have been called. Why would they have embarked on a big, scientific project, just to find out how many arrows one of their archers can shoot within a given unit of time? My guess is they had two speed settings: "Fast enough." and "Not fast enough." and which was which probably depended on the mood of whoever was giving the orders. Long story short, I get very dubious and skeptical when I hear one of those KZitem historians, or any historian for that matter, throw "stats" like that around.

I recently digitized a couple of old audio cassettes by simply hooking the 3.5mm jack of my $20 tape player into my computer. The quality was about as good as one might predict upon knowing the setup, but Auphonic fixed a LOT of the crackling, LFHs, normalization issues, and general "niceness" of the track. Its pretty sweet. Also it has a free trial version if you happen to have a .edu mail address.

Convertible firearms, a few points: For the price of a conversion kit I can just buy another firearm in the new caliber. It's a PITA to convert when you want to fire the other caliber or in the case of Glock .40 S&W calibers. It's usually a one way conversion to a more practical 9mm pistol that leaves you with a useless .40 S&W caliber barrel and magazines. The same for .40 S&W to .357 SIG conversions. Having said that I do own a Thompson Contender and it tends to stay configured in one caliber while other calibers languish. I also have the rifle version, but the cost of barrels approaches the price of a Thompson Compass bolt gun that is more accurate anyway.

To remark on Cody's question: to quote Joseph Stalin " quantity has a quality all of its own". This was the model followed by both the Russians and the Americans. The T-26 and the Sherman tank were both vastly outclassed by the Tiger tanks in 1 one on 1 combat. The Sherman tank had a nickname by the tanker crews and was known as the Ronson. The slogan for the Ronson lighter was lights first every time. But the tanks could be massed produced so they vastly outnumbered the Tiger tanks which were how they won. The interesting thing is was how close the Germans were to developing the Hydrogen bomb and their early adoption of Goddard's rocket theories that the extension of the war might have yielded different results. But Adolph's mental state deteriorating would have also been a factor there. Without the Slovic hate that made him attack the eastern front, this would have been a very different war.

On the subject of overview books for X nation: the reason you never see these is exactly the reason Ian gives. It's almost impossible (and highly undesirable for a publisher) to make a book that will cover all this stuff in sufficient detail. Narrow it down to specific fields and start looking from there. In history there is no such thing as "the one book that answers all the questions. There are simply too many questions and too much information for one person (or even a group) to process to such a vast extent. Historical research still is something that requires a lot of time and expense. The reason someone like Ian knows what he knows comes not just from him being Gun Jesus, but from what's on those shelves on the background: thousands of dollars in purchased value (and not likely to retain it very well outside of collector circles) in information gathered by other people. Even in the days of the internet, there is still little in the way of shortcuts to this info and ironically its people like Ian and Othias who are providing those through the means of visual media.

40 SW got popular because of cheap guns to shoot the cartridge. Companies like Glock give Police Departments great deals on their products. It also helped that you had companies like Smith and Glock having large marketing budgets that the makers of the 41AE never had. It also helped that many gun writers made the 40SW sound like the solution to everything it would stop the bad guy and the weapon was 9 sized so it solved your retraining issues etc.

I think that Russian bullpup is the Korobov TKB-022M with a U shaped bolt. The main concern was the durability of the AG4 ("bakelite") chassis.

In reference to the stripper clip discussion and the US in WWII, was the M1, BAR, and the belt fed all gassed for the M2 ball round? I was under the impression that only the M1 used the downloaded cartridge.

The conversion concept is mostly right. I don't care to convert my Glock 34 to .41AE just for the sake of conversion. If a caliber is truly worth it, I'll buy a new gun myself. But it is nice that .40SW drops into a 9mm frame, so I'll be looking for an aftermarket .40SW/.357Sig upper assembly only because it's convenient. If .40 took more work than that I wouldn't bother. But the same thing with the .300 BLKOUT. People were excited that they could use the same bolt and carrier, and that's great and all, but it's a hit or miss on proper headspace without mating the bolt and barrel, and it sounded like they planned to regularly swap barrels depending on their mood. If I do a non-5.56 Cal upper on my AR, it'll be Cal marked and I'll just build a new one, new bolt and all.

For some reason the p38 is a squib magnet ....I've been shooting them since I can remember and it was the first gun I ever saw with a squib, not the last but out of all the squibs I've seen the Walther seems to more than others even with decent ammo

I'm sure I speak for many subscribers when I say we'd all love to see a fully functioning Flak 88, demonstrated in a live fire test on some steel plate at 1000 meters.

49:45 "I have a standing policy of I do not pay for guns in advance of when they're ready" Everyone needs to have this policy Ian. I had to learn that lesson the hard way when I dropped $300 in a bullpup 10/22 kit from The-Louisiana-Company-That-Must-Not-Be-Named thinking I would actually receive it. Since then I just look with sadness at every company's new Whiz-Bang gun/accessories at SHOT Show and them saying to the reviewers: "Yea, we're taking pre-orders and will have them out by the end of the year" only for them to repeat the exact same thing next SHOT Show...

Sight ranges around 1000m+ on rifles are good when troops are firing at some car, building, bunker etc..

I have a few more general firearms books are "The Complete Encyclopedia of Pistols and Revolvers" by A.E. Hartink and "Military small arms of the 20th century" by Ian V. Hogg and John S. Weeks. They are not just American firearms but still they are good. If you want a video on it then I recommend "Tales Of The Gun U.S. Guns of World War 2"

Every time I hear 6.5x55SE I am imagining AKM or M4 in 6.5x45 - just cut 10 mm of the case and it will be marvelous!

49:10 I would also add to Ian's answer that if the box mag was invented (by Lee) 10 years earlier, it still wouldn't help since you would have loaded those box mags by hand (Brits with Lee Metford) singularly as well as tube mags (which would have been slow). The box mag in that time was made weak since the idea would be to carry 1 in the gun and another for 1 quick emergency reload. If Mauser's stripper clips were also made way earlier and were to work with the box mag, like the Lee Enfield, then I could definitely could see people going to stripper clip red box mags since you can shoot more bullets down range faster instead of slowly reloading a tube loader, like a Swiss Vetterli.

Bear in mind that at the time virtually all military bolt action magazine fed rifles had a Magazine Cut Off. The magazine was loaded earlier at lesuire, in battle you still stood in a line and fired on command, so the magazine was not considered the primary feed. The end game was still fix bayonets and charge!
