Fun video. Shot or owned most of those at one time or another. I’m an SKS guy. Acquired cheap last century, I consider it my best utilitarian option. It can do a lot well. Built like a BSH. Doesn’t need babying. You’ll never wear it out in civilian use. Self-contained, and less frequently required, cleaning/maintenance equipment. No real need to carry spare parts. Trigger gets better with use, especially once you’ve learned your gun’s reset.

I concur..... especially on the Enfield. I too was a Mauser enthusias, the cartridge tucked deep in the action pinned by two strong locking lugs right behind. Aquired a No 4 Mk 1 and watched the end of the cartridge barley tuck out of sight and the locking lugs stay at the back. Two or three 10 shot magazines later, using the generous battle sight and precission peep sight I changed my tune. My dissatisfaction then was directed to its small spicky bayonet.

Loved the video. i cant say any of this was ground breaking insight but i suppose thats to be expected with the 10 most prolific rifles in the world. I gotta ask though. You would consider the Mini 14 an M1 Garand but an Arisaka is a completely different weapon system from a Mauser? Did you also include the BM59 in the numbers of the M1 Garand? Did you extend this broad interpretations to other rifles? Like Sig 550 series contributing to the AK or Taiwanese T91s contributing to the ARs numbers. This isnt so much a criticism but im more looking for some nerdy clarification
@Triangle26
Жыл бұрын
I love this question, thank you for asking. It's clear you have a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between these rifles, so I'll give you a fully nerdy response. I think what you are pointing to is that in defining these categories of patterns, I made a few subjective judgement calls that I didn't explicitly acknowledge. I think what it really comes down to is that I considered cultural factors in addition to mechanical factors, and cultural factors are inherently subjective. For example - I absolutely agree with you that from a mechanical perspective, the Arisaka actually belongs to a larger Mauser 95 pattern, in precisely the same way that I claimed the M14 and Ruger Mini belong to a larger Garand pattern. That said, I don't think this reflects the cultural reality that the Arisaka was developed and used in near total isolation from the other Mauser 95 patterns, whereas the Garand descendants maintained a much stronger cultural link. I do personally consider the BM59 to be a "Garand Pattern", however the total production numbers weren't big enough to affect the pattern total. I don't personally consider the 550 to be an AK or the T91 to be an AR, although I wouldn't be surprised if N.R. Jenzen-Jones considered the 550 to be an AK. Just to make things more complicated still, the category I am calling "AR Pattern" includes AR-15 and AR-10 rifles, but not AR-18's. I consider the AR-15 to essentially be a scaled down AR-10, whereas the AR-18 is meaningfully distinct. Also, AR production numbers are totally unknown, and I am leaning towards the theory that US civilian AR sales have been vastly under reported. I don't know if that helps or makes it worse, but that's my best attempt to honestly explain my thought process. The reality is much messier than I portrayed in the video, and there is plenty of room for healthy debate. This is by no means the only way to break things down, it's just the way that makes the most sense to me, most of the time.

I have a question I've posed to other content creators, have yet to receive a definitive answer. As I understand it, Arisaka only developed the type 30. Which was over complicated and quickly updated to the type 35, but not by Arisaka, but Nambu. By the time the type 35 was developed Arisaka had left the armory. With the type 38 and 99 following. As someone who delves into history to keep facts straight, why call the later Japanese rifles Arisaka's, not Nambu's? Am I completely wrong? Could you elaborate?
@Triangle26
Жыл бұрын
Thanks for reaching out, I always appreciate a well thought out question. Let me preface my response by saying that if you haven't already contacted Mishaco, I would strongly encourage you to do so. I would defer to his opinion on this subject. That said, here are my personal thoughts: I think your timeline is basically accurate, but missing a bit of nuance. While Arisaka's role as a lead engineer at the Tokyo Arsenal did end after the development of the Type 30, this did not mark the end of his involvement in developing his eponymous weapon line. He was promoted to the head of Army Technical Bureau, and among other things, directly oversaw Nambu's team in developing the Type 35 and Type 38. Arisaka was 17 years Nambu's senior, and I think there may have been a mentorship dynamic between them at this time. Either way, it's not like Arisaka was sipping cocktails on the beach while Nambu was developing his bolt action rifle line, he was very much still directly involved, albeit in a new capacity. As to the question of "why call the later Japanese rifle's Arisakas and not Nambus", I suppose the short answer would be because that's what the Japanese called them. Also, while there is a strong argument that Nambu may have made a greater long term contribution to the Type 38 and Type 99 than Arisaka himself did, there is also a strong argument that the most relevant engineering in either rifle should ultimately be credited to Paul Mauser. Nambu was a brilliant designer, but integrating Mauser features into an indigenous Japanese rifle line was far from his greatest accomplishment. Finally, I think there is well established precedent for naming rights to go to the first designer, not necessarily the most significant contributor. As another relevant example on this list - the No. 4 Mk. 1 is widely considered to be a "Lee-Enfield", and yet James Paris Lee died a quarter century before it was developed. I doubt that "solves" anything for you, but I hope it was helpful perspective all the same!

Interesting video...why the Marlin Model 60 instead of either the Swiss K31 or Austrian Steyr?...just a question. That one really stands out as an unusual choice since it isn't a service rifle. It might've been interesting to add in the Ruger 10/22 just as a separate class competitor. As for the bolt guns...Enfield #4, Arisaka & Mauser, and then the Mosin was my expectation. I love the Mosin, but they have their issues which Mauser East and Mauser West just don't have. I will say the whole rimlock thing seems to be more of an issue in theory than in practice. I own a number of Mosins and more than a few Enfields, and rimlock has never been a major issue. Sticky bolt is by far a bigger problem with the Mosin, followed closely by a lack of consistency from one to the next. I have some that are awesome, and others that have been a constant source of aggravation. Triggers, at least on mine, have not been a major point of consternation. Gotta agree to disagree on the "ugly and uninspired" comment. That's a deeply subjective assessment. I personally like the aesthetics, but certainly the safety should've been redesigned in 1930. The sights, on the other hand, I find to be superior to those of the Mauser or the Enfield No 1 Mk III.

The intent with the video was to showcase the 10 most-produced rifle patterns in history. No other criteria were considered. As sorely as it sticks out compared to the others, the Marlin Model 60 has outproduced the other rifles you mention. For example, there were more than 20 Marlin model 60's produced for every K31. I agree that there is a great degree of subjectivity with categorizations like "ugly and uninspired". For whatever it's worth, I did not intend that as an insult. The Mosin is a weapon of war, and I would also describe war as an ugly and uninspired endeavor. One thing I've always admired about the Russians is that they seem to design their weapons with the reality of war close in mind.

Funny coincidence about the Lee Enfield pattern is that if WWI had not happened, the Lee Enfield would have probably been replaced by the Pattern 14 rifles in development. A Mauser influenced design.

I’ve only used 6 of the rifles in this video, but have some opinions, lol. It’s hard for me to put bolt actions like the .303, K98, etc in the same group as semiautomatics. And I have a strong preference for semiautomatic carbines over bolt action. That said, I do have a great respect for the .303. I owned one for years and was very impressed with it. The bolt was very smooth, the rifle very reliable, accurate and powerful. You absolutely do not want to get shot with that rifle. The K98…I had two issues with. The bolt was kind of “catchy” and not smooth. And once it even locked up, due to design and age. There’s a metal plate inside the receiver that starts to curl with extended use. The thing I like most about AK’s and SKS’s over AR’s is durability. These days AK’s and SKS’s can be modified to use attachments much like the AR’s if anyone so chose. One could argue the AR’s have an advantage ballistically to a point. Milspec ammos for Ak’s and SKS’s aren’t noted for their accuracy or consistency. But in recent years, 3 types of ammo have drastically improved on this. Those are Hornaday Black, American Eagle and Golden Bear.

Under the criteria used for defining the Garand pattern, shouldn’t you have also included the M1 carbine? I guess it really wouldn’t have changed your outcome, but I have often believed that the Ruger mini 14 is as much a variant of the M1 carbine as it is a miniaturized M 14. I think it falls squarely between those two designs in function, if not in physical appearance.
@Triangle26
Жыл бұрын
There is certainly room for healthy debate as to where that line should be drawn, I think in reality it's all a little blurred together. My perspective is this: I have trouble considering the M1 Rifle and the M1 Carbine to belong to the same pattern, because they were contemporaries which exhibited significant mechanical differences. While it's true that the carbine's bolt/bolt carrier/op rod interface of the carbine was clearly borrowed from the Garand, the fire control group and gas system are totally original. With that in mind, the question really becomes "does the M14 belong to the Garand Pattern, the Carbine pattern, or is it an entirely new beast?" Once again there is room for debate here, but I see the M14 as preserving more of the "genetics" of the Garand than of the Carbine. I see how the introduction of a tappet-esque piston could be seen as the influence of the Carbine, but aside from that it strikes me overall as a more direct descendant of the Garand, both in mechanics and of course in military application. As for the Mini-14, I personally think the fact that Ruger reverted to a simplified long stroke piston (while maintaining the original Garand FCG) creates an even stronger argument that it's a Garand derivative rather than a Carbine derivative. That's just my 2 cents though. All things considered, it was a rather "incestuous" developmental trajectory, and the M1 Carbine was definitely in that mix. At the end of the day if you've taken all of them apart and understand how they work, you have exactly the same qualifications that I do in order to draw those lines.

Good question. I think they are both reasonable choices, with pros and cons to each. The maximum potential capabilities of the Ruger are higher. Detachable magazines are a big deal. Factory optics mounting options are a big deal. Lighter faster cartridges like the 5.56 are a big deal. The factory iron sights are much better. The thing the SKS has going for it is durability. A Chinese SKS is manufactured to a *much* higher standard than a Ruger Mini. It’s not even close. They have far fewer failure points. Minimizing the potential maintenance burden is a big deal. Under most “normal” use-cases, I would give the edge to the Ruger. If we are specifically talking “bug out / SHTF”, I lean towards the SKS.

The No4 Enfield is a superiour bolt action, because of the smooth action and the really good sights. The Mauser is more rugged and durable. Arisakas are improved Mausers and some Mosins can archieve quite good precicison. If I want a bolt action as battle rifle, I take the Enfield. If I want to convert my bolt action to a scoped hunting rifle, I take a Mauser. (8mm and 7mm Mauser hunting rounds are very common and easy to get in Germany) If I want to compete with military bolt actions, I am torned back and forth between my No4 Mk1 Enfield, my Finish Mosin M28/30, my Swiss K31 and the Swedish G96 Mauser of my brother. The ranking of the military bolt action I own: 1.) No. 4 Enfield 2.) M28/30 Mosin 3.) Chilean Modello 1935 Mauser 4.) M44 Mosin (1953 Hungarian built) 5.) Swiss K31 6.) K98k (a force matched returned Soviet capture from Sauer & Sohn) PS: Of course, I would take my M1 Garand over all of them all day long.

In WW1 the Germans had a hunting rifle, yanks had a target rifle but the British had a battle rifle. As for the Garand scoring any kind of legitimate points, that is sad based on its WW1 French technology and the MASSIVE ship the design missed.

Nice list I could quibble on some of them but its your list and its a good list over all. That being said ;) quibble 6 million M1 carbines in WWII and many afterword, still in production. A primary reason the USSR lost so many men was that their was no ocean between them and there enemies and both had large populations allowed for massive numbers of troops on both sides. The terrifying (yes I used that world as double entrdre ) handing of the Red Army by Stalin and the Communist system in the 30's to include the disasters losses in the Winter war were in all likelihood a encouragement for t Hitter and the National Socialist German Workers' Party he was head of to invade the USSR, thinking it would be a short victorious war (see fall of France)

I am in agreement with you. It’s a distinctly American take on the Mauser, but it’s still a built around a purebred Mauser 98 action. There is absolutely no way the 1903 was developed without someone at some point taking apart a Gewehr 98 and saying: “make it like this”.

It's possible, but unlikely. The highest production estimates I have ever seen for the Ruger 10/22 (in all forms) is 7.6 million, which isn't quite enough to break onto this list.

Victory is on the tip of the bayonet, wars are fought at a distance of 200 to 500 meters, the world most modre armies were defeated in Afghanistan by small arms like AK-47 and RPG-7. In bolt action category Mauser 98k, in semi automatic category SKS and in automatic category AK are best choices. By race I'm Afghan, offer a starving Afghan food and a gun and ask him to choose one he will choose the gun. We batter understand guns and theirs use and we proved it in Afghanistan wars with USSR and NATO.

I guess the enfields never made popular among US collectors is because of relatively less actions they saw during WW2 since British were never as heavily involved as US, Kruts and Russians. Therefore less stories or legends behind it

That's a good point. That would also partly explain why they are so popular in Canada. As I understand it the Canadian presence was small but formidable, and overwhelmingly equipped with No. 4 Mk. 1 Lee-Enfields.

What's the purpose to make Mosin bolt to be smooth, commi warriors had 5 to 10 rounds to go with in the first place. Bolt action is only effective in defense, unfortunately commis won't even bother, defense was shame..... Russians stood ground and died at the first wave and Chinese ran as quick as possible, when communist counter attacked, they use PPS, much more effective toy, Mosin is spirit of hero as sniper rifles were more of a legend
