Honestly, the enfield’s magazine was always interesting to me because this weapon was the standard issue for the British and it has a Magazine Capacity of 10 rounds, which is impressive when you look at other countries. The difference between this rifle and the others was still at a minimal when compared to its adversaries and allies but it’s still impressive nonetheless. Meanwhile, you have the United States that was entrenched in tradition and they held onto rules of thumb that should have been thrown away after they had their asses kicked by Spanish Mausers in the 1890’s, they held onto silly traditions like the Magazine cut off switch and the Rule of firing one round at a time and to only use the magazine in a heated situation. I believe The British had the hindsight and understood what was necessary to fight against modern small arms, they pulled every precaution they could that was affordable. As far as I understand, hardly any countries designed a double stack Magazine that worked well with Rimmed Cartridges and it takes a little bit of thought into it because of issues like Rim Lock, so pulling that off is pretty impressive, let alone for 10 rounds. Like you said, some troops wouldn’t have time to charge the weapon twice in a heated situation but it did give you the opportunity, which was capable of giving the troop a longer volume of fire.

Mac 11 cud be 9mm o 380 right think mac 10 45acp

The FN engineers behind the FAL would probably want to cry seeing one ruined like this. I had no idea Ireland had the same problems as the UK.

Thanks for sharing. It would be cool to see the magazines inside for a combat load.

Huh, absolutely nothing (say it again) Not true. My favourite rifle ever

Excuse me Irish but ten rounds sounds just about right for a charging polar bear!

Shooting video ?

Dont write blank firing in the title and not fire anything. Clickbait and misleading.

isn't 43 Egyptian identical to 43 Spanish?

Any way u can make another video with more details I love this

Does it have a safety on it most come with a safety

Very interesting

Man, look like you guys had fun doing this video, looking like a pair of Americans on the weekend in the countryside.

That's a nice revolver

That berthier rifle looks like it kicks pretty hard...you should of kept the adrian helmet on at the range....maybe not😅, cheers Jude 😊😊

...Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. COBRAY: hold my beer.

In case you want another potentially flimsy justification for taking your Mini 14 to the range for French day, Ruger is based out of New England which is the most French and most Irish part of America in terms of where people's ancestry comes from so from that point of view it's very appropriate to take a New England gun to the range for French day in Ireland

I reckon the wobbly table might of been putting your aim off 😊. When you cycle the L1A1 you do something to the sight....what is it you are doing and why?😊

I bet every time you manually charge your L1A1 to cycle each round you think of all the crimes that have been prevented by you not being allowed to own a self loading rifle. All 0 of them.

The one time I tried the full 10 round load on mine, it malfunctioned with every bolt rack. I tracked it down to the back of the magazine floor being pushed down further due to the rimed casings. The back of the floor would go up slower, then kick out with the rounds due to not being brand new. I guess there was a way around it that's lost to time, but it's just unreliable with more than 5 rounds.

I loved when I saw it. Of course it's got no practical purpose besides cos playing some dooms day scenario 😂

I don't know if you deleted my comment or if youtube automatically deleted it but I'll send it through again in case it'll get through this time I would much prefer my .44 magnum revolver over a double barrel shotgun (especially the kind Mad Max uses which would be an NFA item in America, maybe that phrase got my comment censored the first time) but it looks cool and not everyone needs to be exactly like me so I won't complain

I like your point of view on this. In Switzerland blank firing guns can be acquired by anyone over the age of 18. They're not really all that popular, as handguns are not difficult to acquire but I get why people would want some, mostly collecting without needing to do paperwork and just because people can think they're fun. They can also be used to shoot 15mm colored flares. Subbed ;)

Why not have 2 or more 10 round magazines?

If you have a friend in the US, he could purchase the Tech Sight and ship it to you.

That’s disappointing. I bought mine directly from Tech Sights too bad they won’t ship out of the US.

Look into Tech Sights. They make them for the 180 and 580 series Ruger rifles and they are excellent. They are about $67.00 US

Hahaha!

Lovely piece

I put my first bull moose in Timmins Ontario Canada down with at No.4 Mark 1 . I thought the mag design was genius. I managed to lay my hands on several magazines and carried a few loaded ones. The swap out very quickly, I'm sure they didn't mess with stripper clips that would negate the removable magazine.

I reckon it gives you a chance to get the feel of a type of weapon , legally, that otherwise one may not be able to use....again legally. Cheaper blank rounds has got to be good. Its the same with deacs etc....I couldn't lawfully own a live bren gun, but I've got a deac....what's the point?, I've got a bren gun....for historical purposes and research that's great for me. I've got a decent collection of guns, but none are 'live' firearms....replicas, air guns & deacs...I occasionally go to a range to use my target air rifle, the rest are used for display and research purposes and that suits my purposes exactly. I don't need any of the exotic live weapons that people have access to in the usa, sometimes deacs or replicas/blanks or all we can have in the uk and Ireland, so the point of them?....you used the example of zero alcohol beer, I'd say its like having an old or classic car in a garage, you can't take it on the road , but you've still got it....if you get me?....long answer but I get what you mean Jude 😊

Very good m8....yes it does look more 'civilian ' and I can see why the police would use it over a more 'assault rifle' looking weapon 😊😊

I own several Mini's in 5.56 and 7.62 and love them. Fun, reliable and light. I suspect that the number of hoops that you have to jump through to own that rifle in Ireland is extensive.

It works very well to hold .303 cartridges. I doubt a 10 round charger would function very well, so you can load five and load another five any time, you don’t have to empty the magazine first.

Fair comment about the second clip when you try and load, but a lot of infantrymen were very familiar with this rifle and it's idiosyncrasies I refer you to 'Exercise 22' otherwise known as the "mad minute". Most soldiers were expected to reach that standard

Ill tell you living in canada the 10 round magazine and rapid action of the lee enfeild is a pretty big comfort in grizzly bear country. Many a canadian outdoorsman has been saved by the trusty old lee

My great great grandfather got the money to Emigrate to canada by smuggling a bunch of guns into Ireland through his shop in Belfast.

There's no point having a blank gun.

Great video Jude m8....I've learnt something today 😊😊😊

I know it's just a glorified cap gun but I'm so used to shooting my .44 magnum revolver with 320 grain bullets that when I saw you holding your vaguely S&W 686-like blank firer with your arm almost completely straight I felt pain

Great stuff lads you know yourself them Luger pistol are always the same real jammers😅

Ah i see how your camera works....might not be able to buy one in my size!😅. Front and top venting blank firers?, what do you do with all the empty cases?...anyway thanks for showing the pistols....looked like a lot of fun 😊😊😊😊

I'd love to see the 9mm PAK MAC-11 for sure!

Nice examples of were the mosin nagant action came from. The Dutch rifles action looks huge against the cadet rifle....very clumsy looking. BTW stop talking 'b#llocks' when you do a video......your stealing my act!!!!😅😅😅😅

Thank you very much youtube dice thank you very much monkey thank you veroich

You can tell you have more journalistic integrity than journalists do because you're actually issuing a correction

Maybe I'll get a lot of hate from the early 20th century rifle enthusiasts but it seems to me that every notable bolt action rifle that wasn't a Mauser was a copy of a Mauser so it doesn't bother me too much if the Berthier was a bit suspiciously similar to the Mosin-Nagant

Good stuff Jude m8....good hobby to have I reckon 😊😊😊😊

Nice blank firer m8😊😊😊

Great demo
