First time I seen this weapon was in Delta Force Land Warrior in 2000. The game made it seem like there was zero recoil

What battalion was this? I was 3d ID and was there in 2012 and none of us wore ISAF patches.

Cool gun, ugly as shit though.

That intermittent buzz in the middle part of the vid brings back memories. I believe it was from that big search radar on the boat. I remember that it would couple into my headset even when I wasn’t connected up to the comm systems one of our birds!

Didn't stick

wow that was just informative and helpful

Was stationed at Chu Lai RVN with MAG 12. Had 4 squadrons of A4’s during my tour of 1966- 1967 with the arresting gear and catapult. I really enjoyed my job and my tour having them take the cable on the medal runway.

Looks like it was designed by Minecraft

Narrator Mr Bob Crane was relentless in the pursuit to give back to his country doing many public service announcements and charitable work!!!

During my military service, my battalion had an open day for civilians and interested parties. The new Flecktarn (we had olive uniforms) and also this Star Wars rifle were exhibited there in our block. We all thought what kind of plastic thing is that?! Back then we still had the HK G3, ​​which I still love to this day.

I told my teacher that this ho is flat beyo.

0:24 it almost looks like a black hole

This and the AN-94 have got to be the most over engineered guns 😂

1:19 Regardless which side you fought on this is a horrible way to die. As mentioned in a WW2 game. Couldn’t agree more.

ew

Jesus loves you, turn to Him yall

Mg34 is so sweet. 42 is amazing to but the 34 is just perfect rpm

Army brat who lived in Pattonville Military Housing, near Stuttgart twice! 1957 and again in 1961.

Principle skinner talking about the G11

PURDIE BOI

That MG42 rate of fire is insane for the time.

Roblox old explosion ahh sound

Yea fuck that shit

this is way too cool

Here before it blows up because of war thunders "Storm Warning" update

未確認飛行物体みたいですね～

This seems like it was designed to shoot civilians not other military personnel…

what spot at WG is this? if you could send the coordinates i’d appreciate it.

Is it me, or does the 42 sound like the thompson smg

Syphon filter 2 weapon..old good memories 💪🏻💪🏻

People tend to fall into one of two camps on this: either it was all politics and really the rifle was great, or it was no good, overengineered but impractical junk. Really it was neither great or terrible, just too expensive for what it offered. You can get more (cost)effective recoil dampening with muzzle brakes or compensators, while retaining options for further attachments that wouldn't work well with the reciprocating action.

Fire rate is a merit but americans portrait that a demerit AH 😂

Brought back so many memories of the America and the Catapult Crew I was on. Not only seeing myself on my favorite stations Weight board and JBD safety but seeing shipmates some who are in the hands of God now. Thank you for posting this. RIP Bill Muller who is Topside Safety on Cat 2.

4/1ADA 91-94

You know after this video ended in the meeting with the US brass they just said “and you want to give this thing to fucking infantry” like I want to see the world where this was adopted just for the horror stories maintenance officers would have with the G11

one of the dumbest guns ever designed

Yk, even tho it didn't stick, at least when they fall, they still lock in on the floor instead of bouncing away like a normal gremade.

Who are those three men names?

Sticky granade just for name sake😂.

The mg42 has so much fire rate that it looks like it has no recoil

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢sorry

jackdfilms brought me here😂

I'm stationed in germany now (2022 to 2025). I find it a bit difficult to get a sense of what life was like back then from these stylized vintage reports. Everything is so perfect it seems. AFN (us military TV broadcast) still has a propaganda like reporting. All the soldiers say only positive things while off camera they are cussing and complaining.

Side ports? What are we, in the Navy now?

One guy I knew who was crew on these said that the last week before turning them in, they took a good portion of the ammo out on the range and burned through a lot of it just for fun.

Our f-18 squadron VFA-131 Wildcats did a med-cruise 87/88 with VFA-136 , VFA-137 on board the USS Coral Sea , All 3 squadrons were out of NAS Cecil Field fla , Those were the best of times and miss it , Thanks for sharing this gem and bravo-zulu !
