When invented these AA shells for the 18" were designed to go after Bi Planes with wood frame and fabric covering. Like most Japanese weapons of the war they were designed in the late 1920's to early 1930's for the smaller 15 armed battle ships. Had they simply made a "shot shell" and left out the phosphorus etc they might of had something. At the very least 3 gun 18" direct fire canister rounds would break up any torpedo plane attack. If they could have fired depressed they probably would be able to defeat the actual torpedo as well. It was simply another case of Japan armed to fight the last war.

These PBR Sailors were unsung Heroes. I served on Destroyers but these guys didn't have luxury of a mess deck for meals. I Salute them. ❤

I always wonder if any of the people shooting these weapons had hearing protection. Can't find any evidence that they did. Several times, including at 5:09 they look like they aren't even wearing earplugs.

Well, I'm cross I hadn't seen this one yet. Catch ya for another one, Johnny. Take care.

I appreciate your commentary on smart guns. Such discussions have the potential to be quite emotional or dramatic and yours was neither. You raised some good points about the usefulness of such technology. In particular, your point about how the statistic about guns in a home are more likely to harm those who live there is skewed by those who commit suicide whereas many would interpret the statistic as being due to accidental discharges or the gun being used to harm a non-owner of the gun. My only quibble is the utility of police cameras. They may not directly lower the rate of excessive police violence, but I would argue that having documentation of such acts is important so that such acts cannot be denied and so that police can learn how to prevent such incidents in the future.

We used to call it the “mixmaster “ like a stand mixer.

I like noise engine 9 cilynders

Why are most of the Russian troops in this Mongolian?

Because fake despotic nations love their shiny showy things.

If you put aside the propaganda, Goring lived a rather tragic life. Wounded in the Putsch, which saw him addicted to morphine. His wife was ill. And while he was penniless trying to kick morphine and hold down a job, they would beg relatives for money. Pawning furniture and heirlooms. He finally won a seat in thr Reichstag after the 28' election...when the NSDAP won 7 seats. A year or so later, hid wife died. Which left Hermann a broken man.

The portuguse-angolan horsemen of the Dragões de Angola used them during the Ultramar War (1961-1974). Although mounted infantry, they sometimes had to react at close bush while mounted or charge against ambushes. The horse at speed with a confident rider firing his Walther was an efficient morale breaker beacuse the invading "liberators" of the UPA, MPLA and UNITA were of mediocre quality.

A video on the Close Combat Clasp and the various Infantry and Panzer Assault badges in all their grades would be very interesting.

Would you ever do a video on the Japanese Type 38/99?

I like the thumbnail. A revolver that is a cap and ball pistol and the belt has cartridges' in it lol....prop people are stoopid!

To this day, 99 out of 100 actors leave folding or collapsible stocks in their storage position for no reason.

It was primarily to counter an enemy only using cavalry, and to protect the artillery. Basically when an infantryman isn't fighting in formation, he's a skirmisher, and they have a lot of advantages against infantry in a line formation. They can flank them more easily, and the army being scattered makes them much harder to hit. But they're more disorganized, are more likely to flee, and are almost impossible to give orders to if the army is large. They're also more easily cut down by cavalry. Cavalry would dominate the battlefield if it weren't for the line formation. Line formation can form a square to prevent being flanked, and are better defensively. This also allows artillery to be protected behind an infantry line. If all infantry were skirmishers, the artillery would have no protection, and would likely get cut down by fast moving cavalry. It's also easier to give orders to an infantry line, officers can more easily keep track of who is under them, and their orders are more easily heard, understood, and followed.

...the original barrel twist was 1 in 14 which just barely stabilized the 55 grain bullet and when it his flesh the rapid deceleration coupled with its instability, caused devastating wounds...later when the Army decided to standardize the M16, it found that a twist of 1 in 12 was necessary to stabilized the slightly heavier tracer round...and this faster twist reduced the previous 'spectacular wounding properties of the round,leading to further criticism of the rifle/round - especially frtom GIs who'd been trained with - and used the M14...

I was issued an XM-16E1 when I was at Camp Pendleton in 1977. I never knew the significance of that until years later.

One of, if not the best navy movie, Flight of the Intruder. :)

The PIAT was described by Canadians after action reports in Normandy as “outstandingly effective”. In “Theirs is the Glory” a British Para leaves cooking for his officer to knock out a Panther. The actors were veterans of the actual battle.

Dolph Lundgren in tha thumbnail yo!

Hanging around war does that..

The Russian kid in "Come and See" had a truck load off Make-up on him to make him 50 years older.

The old “Batman” clip was hysterical the first time I saw it as a kid. Still is.

The word calliope is a slang word for toilet in Greek, especially in the military. 😅 And Calliope is also one of the nine Muses.

This seems like a fetish-video. Zulu Shield were dried, poop-infused animal hides with a handle laced into it… That’s it. You took a tough piece of animal hide, dried it in the sun, buried it in animal poop, then laced a handle into it, et voila- a Zulu Shield. If you want to hype up non-Western Militarism, go to the Middle East or Asia- plenty impressive to be explored. Applauding literal stone-age tech that all of Eurasia passed thousands & thousands of years ago seems infantilizing. Spoiler alert: the English liked to hype up their weak enemies so that their victory over them seemed more impressive (while downplaying their capable foes).

The MG3 & M60 both have there design flaws so it wouldn't have mattered if the United States Of America went with the M60 or a modified MG42.

Really takes the enjoyment out of movies when they do this. When they do this they are CHEAP and LAZY.

Milf bomb

You HAD to include the holy handgranade

Russian Tanks use an autoloader, perhaps the auto breech system makes it vulnerable

Way back in 1969 I watched 4 c-119s shit gun start at FT. Benning, Georgia during jump school. I will never forget the experience as no one told us about it. That is how they were started

In battlefield that shot was lit you got an itchy Tigger finger you slappin people up lol

The mighty MO was used in Desert Storm, they did a couple of billion dollars in upgrades then after Desert Storm they decommissioned the Missouri, what a shame

Now I may be wrong about this because I don't know everything about guns however I used to think that Owen gun was really cool as a kid and yes I'm sure there was weapons that were inspired by it but I just think it would be cool if they just kept that whole thing going and just modernized it. However I may be wrong and they may have already done it so take it with a grain of salt.

As a mondo SVT nerd, I’ve never clicked faster

Alrighr, just put this shit to bed. In vietnam we tapped the magazines because we only had 20 rounders and they would often have failure to feeds when loaded with a full 20 rounds because of the follower, plus we wanted to clear jungle dirt out of it.

These existed in ww2 japanese mutant battleships

Loved this weapon in COD

2:31 lol

You forgot to mention 'ACES HIGH', .....

They did a very good job of detail in the series unlike the movie pearl harbor where they used perry class frigates in it.

The Zulu were such incredible warriors. They were once great conquerors and colonizers before Europeans came
