REFLECTS WHY THIS COUNTRY IS A FAILURE TODAY! OR LACKING SUBSTANCE!

Dude, what are you aiming at? That huge target is like 5 yards away and it looks like you got maybe 3 hits.

One bullet can kill. Thank God my father 100 Infantry sons of b i t c h e made it home alive. Named after a town of France that they liberated. By the way my grandfather's name is German and my great-grandmother's name was French .

Gotta keep the morale of these troops high lol, only real point of such a film =D

The war that the US lsot.

I was given a Nylon 66 earlier this year. I've done some limited research, and I think this one is from the very first batch manufactured. My Uncle Larry told me he bought it in spring of 1959, most likely at a sears near Manhattan beach (west Los Angeles). While I was cleaning it prior to it's first use in 60 years +/-, I found a number stamped in bright orange paint (4399) under the receiver cover on the outside of the receiver. Based on the manufacturing data I found I think it's from a batch made in late 1958, of just over 4400.

''Keep an eye on your squad leader, he's tangled with this weapon before and depending on the situation will be the lucky bastard who lived''

despite being an old video is more instructive than 99% of tutorials out there

Gott sei Dank musste mein Vater sich nicht damit beschäftigen

Trying so hard to play down the mg42. Just shows how terrifying it really was.

Will the entire point of this video is them literally saying yeah German weapons are good but we're sending you with stuff that's better the entire point of them in the mg42 did come around to bite Germany in the ass because they chewed through ammo way too quickly

supposedly needed 8 guys on one lmg then shows only two guys chilling with it 😂😂

This film did a great disservice to the army.

What happened to khe San part 2?

Remington needs to watch this video and realize that they need to get back to their roots.

The propaganda fools US soldiers to face MG 42,

This was the typical school film back in the mid 1960 when I grew up.

And yet there are still deniers out here.

America and Europe wrote the history as they like. But simple fact is this , all new world technology is based on german technology and scientists

Woooooooooooooooow😬

7:38 that is a strange logic. the german machine gun fire 3 times faster. the american unit has the same amount of guns. so 3 times more chances to hit for the germans.

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
