Why the mg42 gun operator is sitting behind the thing Shouldn’t he aim down sight like the standard procedure and aiming technique? And the longer you hold the trigger , the more recoil you get This is totally a misleading video for soldiers back then 😄 Us guns are the best can’t argue with that But disapproving others to get more credit is not noble 🤨

They captured the film, do you expect me to believe that?

I wonder how many troops have seen this before they were deployed to WW2 ? I bet you every one that has seen it after a month of fighting was thinking that video was horse shit . Dam those Germans make good guns.. only the German ones are still used in war.

Have a small collection of old Remington on my farm in the south of scotland 1100 1187 870 700 love them but had 597 .22 lr didn't keep long always jamming replaced with ruger 10.22 night and day .old Remington are a work of art a masterpiece in true skilled craftsmanship ...sadly gone.😢

The MG42 is bark and bite... - Zach

Great video!

Mg42 is devastating ❤

I am a former A-6 driver and I watch this video and can't understand for the life of me why they shelled the aircraft. They boltered, big deal, shit happens. That is why you go to full power as soon as your mains touch the deck. When they ran out of steel they had a positive rate of climb. As soon as I was clear of the angle I also reached down and brought the gear up if it felt iffy. This action may have resulted in a FNAEB

So easy to understand. I think i can learn anything with this type of narration. Old yet informative. Strange

Why does the 707 look so sad

Granules and grains. The indivual bits of powder are called 'grains'. This leads to confusion as gunpowder (in the U. S.) are measured in 'grains', that being 7/7000th of a pound. However, each unit - bit - piece - of powder does NOT weigh one 'grain' (of weight). So a powder charge of "50 grains" is 50/7000ths of a pound, not 50 units (bits, pieces) of gunpowder. I would prefer the term 'granule' used for the tiny bits of powder. But I wasn't born early enough and no one listens to me.

You can definitely tell this was made fairly early in the war. Some troops were still wearing tin hats and the plane had the old insignia.

A crash is a crash but its always that damn fuel that creates havoc. Its like Nam Napalm if it gets loose.

ohhh man the new 5mm now we have 17 hornady

I still don’t understand why the Americans never used the MG42 in Korea

God the American propaganda.. BS .. a war they lost effectively.. but always glorify their position

Interesting place to visit Khe sanh and the huge war museum ..

だろうね😅

So optimistic. Honestly when you compare it to almost all AR10 rifles it’s still better. I’d rather have a rifle that works and gets consistent hits on target, than have a rifle that shoots smaller groups whenever it’s not jammed up or broken.

I’ll take that over an m16 anyway

In the modern eye, it sounds like propaganda, but picturing yourself as a new recruit, you can really tell how this video during briefing wants you to be motivated.

Fuck dupont, they had a mecca of firearms development and manufacturing and they decided to sell it to a cheap, greedy investment group. Imagine where remington could have been today. Also, I believe the model 1100 is the best "mass produced" semi-auto shotgun EVER made.

Every American shit their pants German soldiers where also way better trained and had way more combat experience then us soldiers it’s a FACT

The M14 is the worst Rifle ever made! A piece of junk! M16 anytime!! 😊

I'd love to read the Chinese after battle report on this 😄 Probably said they were attacked by an armoured division

I’m the eldest son of my beloved father who served there the entire year of 52. Cut com lines one night he went to repair numerous times, at the top of the stairs heading out his pard said that the coffee was done. He turned to get a cup of coffee, first step down he was assisted the rest of the way by a Chinese mortar round that left shrapnel in both calfs. Died with them and by his choice without a Purple Heart. Not reported army never told. Not even a scratch he said, that’s not wounded. Where have this country’s men gone. It’s not that they don’t it’s we don’t make them like they used to. Too damm busy trying to play in women’s sports. That’s why others don’t respect the USA glad he can’t see what they fought for turning into this. Shame on the people that have done this to our country

That’s about it.

Wehraboos in the comments 😂 America not only had the best weapons, they were able to produce them in amounts that actually mattered.

I think this man snapped that night in that trench lol

Good morning Vietnam

It's a pity the A-6F didn't go into production as it would no doubt still be in service today and instead the USN was stupid enough to choose the A-12 Avenger II instead which ended up being cancelled before the first prototype was built.

This is a great video about the horrific events that happened, it feels weird liking the video though

These men are sick. This is barbaric

Junk!

American propaganda

"This is the M14 rifle. It's pretty much obsolete now we issued it and neglected all the lessons we learned from WW2. All our NATO partners issued rifles that actually clever designed, but we tell you this is the best invention since sliced bread..."

They couldn't carry enough ammo for 42s..more ammo carriers than fighters

See which weapons the enemy swapped for theirs. .the M1 carbine

Im no expert but i think that F-80 got shot down

7:48 hoi4 superior firepower docterine

昨日NHKで放送された、「映像の世紀バタフライエフェクト　日米プロパガンダ戦」の冒頭部分でこの映像が紹介されており、存在を知りました。

:) :)

Yeeeaaaaahhhhh. Brought to you by the M3 Grease Gun Lobbyists. I was expecting like 3 hits...

Pretty good propaganda

When manly men didn't use hearing protection!

Footage of this crash test was shown as an in-flight movie during Trans American Flight 209 in the film, "Airplane!".

The German MP42 was even used in Vietnam by US soldiers.

Lightweight it is not.

Man this information is simple and easy to apply thank you. I’m a beginner but I will continue training to become skilled with any firearm I use. Thank you for sharing this!

Man this was so simple and educational. Thank you military industrial complex!
