Battlefield Revisited: 5 of The Rarest (Historical) Guns in Battlefield 1

[@devincoleman4105]

Can we just appreciate the fact that dice (at the time) not only added more maps and weapons in the dlc packs than what was promised, but a crew stayed after the apocalypse dlc to bring us more weapons and variants. ❤

[@guerilla_gorilla6267]

Which weapons were added after apocalypse?

[@devincoleman4105]

@@guerilla_gorilla6267 burton LMR. The Annihilator, both variants. The BFV preorder weapons and all the “patrol” variants of the scout weapons.

I remember rocking the "meme kit" by playing maining an RSC SMG and a kolibri.

Flakfire: “in no particular order.” Also flakfire:”first on my list.” Haha love you Flak

[@Henbot]

It was really fun after all these weapons in BF1, particularly the SMG and learning about real history in which people thought WW1 was going to carry on for another ten years and started making SMGs as the evolution of warfare for clearing trenches

[@caprise-music6722]

Yep. I followed forgotten weapons and The Great War KZbin channels at the same time, so it was just so much fun and interesting!

[@Fragmatic88]

@@caprise-music6722 The Great War team at that time also researched for the game's historical entries that you unlock in the game. They have a World War 2 youtube channel with the same name now.

[@Lomi311]

C&Rsenal is another great channel that started around then. They go over nearly every gun that was really used in the war.

[@danielflanard8274]

​@@caprise-music6722 I have been revisiting this era of KZbin recently, had nearly forgotten that it was such a significant part of my middle-school years. I didn't get to play Battlefield 1 back in the day but I used watch a lot of videos about it from channels like Flakfire's and got into channels that covered WW1 history like The Great War. 2016-2018 seemed like a renaissance for interest in WW1, facilitated by Battlefield 1. I wonder if we would have gotten 1917, They Shall Not Grow Old, and the Sabaton album The Great War without it. They Shall Not Pass by the channel Weebl's Stuff is fun. Bit juvenile for an older audience but I have a lot of nostalgia for it.

[@mr.randomperson9900]

Les go one of my favorite topics. One of the things that have alway interested me is the idea of making these guns in the modern world and getting them to work (if possible). Like, could someone in the modern world make a hellreigel that functions as it was intended all those years ago? Idk, it’s a neat idea.

[@Flakfire]

Probably. Someone built a Fliegerfaust recently. Certainly people out there with enough time and talent. Legally difficult though.

[@mr.randomperson9900]

@@Flakfire yeah and it’s not very useful considering how developed modern weapons technology is today. But, it’s still a neat thought.

[@alexwest6469]

Could in theory make it, suppose you'd just need the appropriate license in the US, i think its an FFL. Don't nuke me if im wrong

[@iamicognito4203]

The RSC was always my favorite weapon from BF1, it just looked so cool bc of the exposed parts

[@kleineb334]

There is a sole surviving hellriegel back in Russia. Close friends family worked for the tsar and brought it back before the revolution and has it stashed someplace

[@nyestember]

Sadly I missed the prime years of BF1 but I am playing it now to the fullest. Apart from the snipers and bombers it is the best multiplayer experience I have ever had after Bad Company 2. The battles and weapons are can't be described, only experienced.

[@namelessstranger1270]

It'd be neat if you could discuss the actual battles and explain who won & lost.

[@tommymaxey2665]

2:56 i would never think i would hear the words "balanced" and "hellriegel" in the same sentence

[@caprise-music6722]

One of the many reasons it became my favorite Battlefield game. So many juicy guns to unlock. And ofc service stars, which I still miss

[@marvd6454]

Great to hear you again Flak. Was thinking bout installing BFV again but now I wanna play around with the MachinePistol and RSC. Peace 😎

[@vkrs6048]

RSC SMG gang 🦾🦾🦾

[@grrlpurpleable]

BF1 was a masterpiece! There is a lesson for DICE to learn, develop a game from passion and not purely with profit in mind - the profit will follow the passion ;)

[@surebet7g]

I totally agree with this opinion. No way will EA will get my preorder following battlefield 1 as I was disappointed with games released after BF1, I will now wait until after release to make that decision. @flak- love your vids- enjoyed playing streaming marbles with you as well. Keep up the good work.

[@habromanic8684]

BF1 was an amazing history lesson about the great war, in all senses of the word. Another really immersive part of that was the stellar language work!

[@4thand3]

The hellriegel was the rarest but everybody and their momma had it.

[@Jimmy-3294]

Ahh battlefield 1, my favorite battlefield game.

[@Statix-]

the smgs in general had very little combat seen aside from the mp18! Fun video!

[@florianmartellozzo797]

It was the good old days.. Nice vid by the way!

[@Lomi311]

The pederson device was absurdly unreliable hence its scrapping. C&Rsenal have a great video on it and their longest streak without jamming was 12 rounds. Still a shame they’re gone tho

[@paradoxinraindrops141]

The inclusion of the lost weapons did a lot to expand the sandbox of BF1 & it showed off a lot more of the actual war effort. It helped to make BF1 one of my favorite games of all time.

[@edm240b9]

3:45 there’s a good reason the Pederson Devices were scrapped. C&Rsenal did a video on the Pederson Device and got one firing, and they had a bunch of malfunctions with the gun. After only being in storage years after the war, they tested them and they virtually all had problems. By the time they were scrapped, semi automatic rifle technology had been matured enough with the adoption of the M1 Garand in 1936. There was really no need for them anymore.

[@swancman]

Next Battlefield needs to be in a historical setting. I miss these historical weapons lists and breakdowns!

[@theawesomesausage]

We see how well that went last time.

[@vkrs6048]

A game set in the modern day can still have some historical additions, it's a shame barely any triple A titles have been doing that lately

[@swancman]

@@theawesomesausage Still better than 2042.

[@theawesomesausage]

@@swancman I'll take your word for it; I never played any of them.

[@denj4s]

man the gameplay is insane I can't believe you are on controller ^^

[@kempetsuper7934]

It's gonna be exciting if next battlefield they doing all multiverse when world war theme meets modern & futuristic

[@mikek7283]

Very cool info

[@jcameronferguson]

I've seen freight inventories that indicate around 20 9mm submachine guns, likely of the 08/18 pattern (battlefield captures, one surmises) were sent by the USSR as aid to the Republican forces in the Spanish Civil War. If there are any other extant examples of the elusive SMG 08/18, Spain would be the place to start looking!

[@ovisarker9888]

Bro can you help me??? Im not playing battlefield 1 my driver intel uhd 630 it’s update driver when im playing how to do any solution plz?

[@Paul_maistre]

Another on is the federov avtomat the first assault rifle made in 1913 and under went testing then adopted by the imperial Russian army but only around 5600 were produced as after the civil war russia began to stop producing weapons not using Russian rounds since the federov avtomat used an arisaka round

No, not Vietnam. Korean please... Not many games adapt the war. Import some weapons from BFV and add some others.
