Got multiple cadet fifties and never finished outside the top ten, the l81 was a dream to shoot. Love bullpups despite the hate they get

Carried an SLR for seven years. Initially with wooden furniture and then synthetic. Reliable, accurate and more important squaddie proof. If well maintained stoppage free with the gas setting at 5/6. 7.62 x 51 velocity 2760 fps. Not touched one since 1987 but would instantly be proficient again as soon as I picked one up. One change though at 65 probably not a good a shot as I once was.

Especially at the first all finnish army troops didint have winter clothes, nor army suit at all either, not for everyone, so many use just ordinary home clothes or they use white sheet what they get from home. A little bit later they get more white winter suit clothes. Usually the model was big pocket on the chest on those winter suits. And many of finns troops didint have even guns, before they get them more from the russians.

Yeah, probably should have looked into the weapon a bit more for sure cause how he was reloading it should have put up some red flags. It's still a crap gun though for sure who though that this was a good Idea for a firearm 😂.

Hi Bloke. I see you still comment on your older videos so I thought I'd ask here. You mentioned in another video (I think it was an old q&a video you did with Ian) that you've found documentation from after the First World War that suggests the P14 was not particularly successful or suited for field service, which is why it was not considered for further development. Could you elaborate on this a little and/or correct anything I've got wrong? The P14 and M1917 rifles are often lauded as best in class, but I've always found it odd that they saw limited front-line service post-war and seemed to be dead end designs. I wonder if the US held similar sentiments regarding the m1917.
@BlokeontheRangeКүн бұрын
Cleaning it is a ballache compared to an SMLE was the main complaint IIRC. And the experience in WW1 had absolutely validated the SMLE concept. So they went back to development on that basis.

I was aware of the Pauly fire piston system, but always thought it was igniting a blackpowder paper cartridge like a capping breechloader, and it had me wondering why the fire piston wasn't more widely adopted as an ignition system. Now I know why: it was actually cooking off a priming compound.

@KableTdi2 күн бұрын
8 years late but here's my comment. All these M1 ping debunks assume that: Stealth killings never occurred during wars. No one was ever alone with his M1. No one was shooting through a window with concrete / tile flooring or asphalt. There was constantly weapons being shot, 6 years without a second of silence. No German ever cleared a building. In other words best case scenarios are always assumed when debunking the M1 ping which is ridiculous. Hell even bullets collided in mid-air were recorded let alone soldiers dying because of the reload signal. I love how during your debunking you actually proved the myth more plausible than busted. The fact you can hear the ping from 22m with earplugs if you are shooting from a window as a marksman clearly proves you are screwed. If you would actually assume this never happened you should go back and re-read the part with colliding bullets. Why we didn't hear about this vulnerability from the veterans? because those who had such experience didn't live to tell the tale.

My dude, that's all computer-game BS. The simple fact that neither German nor Japanese memoirs mention the ping is a good indication...

What are the pros and cons of the cylindrical bolt knob compared to a spherical one for mad minute speed shooting?
@BlokeontheRange3 күн бұрын
I tried both, the cylindrical one is a bit longer and easier to grab or hang on to as a result.
@phale4263 күн бұрын
@BlokeontheRange Ah, I see! So I'd imagine that a spherical one of the same length would be theoretically ideal? I tend to find the sphere more comfortable to hold in the mad minute position

My personal weapons were an SMG and, occasionally, a 9mm Browning HP, but I used to shoot an SLR in army competitions, so I had one assigned to me. As I was on friendly terms with the regimental armourer, he made sure I had 5 x 30 round LMG mags put aside, just in case the Warsaw Pact kicked off (sod the SMG). He modified the mags slightly so they engaged smoothly and fed the rounds easily.

"Remind me who won again?": An army of a global hegemon with the economy of empire behind them. An army that had to resort to scorched earth bullying by razing homesteads, starving people into submission and who eventually killed 27,000 non-combatants in hellish concentration camps. So bad were those camps the Brit citizenry at home were critical of how people were treated.
