Beige on the Range: Introducing Lindybeige To Four WW2 Rifles

[@ReconRookie]

"The recoil on my shoulder was fine, it's the recoil on my nose that I object to." The best thing ever said by this man besides having the Jagdpanther on his top five tanks list

[@arseniclullaby]

...I feel like Lloyd is one of those guys who would just somehow still be alive after the end of the war no matter how long it went or where they put him...he'd just somehow live through all of it...still talking and his disposition unchanged from before the being deployed in the first place. You see him in basic training and think "that guys as good as dead" and when your getting on the boat home four years later, up he'd walk to you and say "well, that certainly was something"

[@Richardwells3]

I would sincerely like to thank the QC guy from the Mauser factory for his efforts to aid the allies in the second World War.

[@MrGeorocks]

I remember hearing about a massive issue with post war Israeli bought Czech made Mausers being absoutely awful for accuracy until it was discovered that the sights had been deliberately misaligned in the factory by the workers who were sabotaging the German war effort. The rifles were sold as surplus without anyone knowing about the sights being off.

[@YungFudd1776]

Personally, if I had to go to war in the 1940's, I would take the M1 Garand because of the semi automatic fire. That advantage is extremely important in a fire fight.

[@2bingtim]

The Germans in 1914 mistook SMLE fire for machine gun fire due to the speed that the british infantry could shoot. Plus you have 10 shots between reloading c.f. the 8 shot Garand. Both nice rifles though.

[@ZackMarrs556NAT0]

@@2bingtim the m1 garand has a much higher rate of fire than the Enfield. Not only is semi auto much faster than even the fastest bolt action, the en bloc is much faster than messing around with 2 stripper clips. The m1 outclasses every contemporary full power rifle fielded at the time

[@davecrupel2817]

The semi auto. The quick loading of the 8 round clips. The fairly fast single cartridge loading. The accuracy. The excellent safety mechanism (fit for a suprise emergency) The muzzle velocity. Definitely my favorite weapon.

[@sw96]

@@davecrupel2817 I like the Garand purely for the semi-auto, even if you don't need to rapid fire it the fact that there's no manual bolt to action between shots means your eyes never have to shift from the sights.

[@davecrupel2817]

@@sw96 If the semi auto is all you prefer, then other weapons like the Mk-14 or the FN FaL might suit you better. Both high powered semi autos. Both have a larger per-mag/clip capacity than the garand. The MK-14 shoots the same round. 30.06 Not sure if the FAL shoots that too.

[@thekenneth3486]

Bloke, I'm envious of you getting to share your passion. It's obviously high time Lindybeige got to try shooting; he is a natural at it -- what a steady hand. As an American, I forget how complicated shooting is in England. It is a blast to introduce someone else to the fun of shooting!

[@66Rokers]

[@hunternewell5167]

[@spleespree5858]

I would think the advantage of a semi-auto is not just rapid fire at close range/during a charge (or when suppressing), but that it allows you to immediately focus on aiming again. In fact, you have to move neither your hand nor head, so you can basically never stop aiming in the first place.

[@Sir.suspicious]

Came home and got both notifications at the same time. My mind got blown, two amazing channels working together, loved it!

[@GetMeThere1]

I've said it on another of your videos, and I'll say it again here: You are truly a natural at shooting. You're shooting VERY WELL for a beginner -- using less than ideal sights, ungainly shooting position, and feeling unwarranted pain from recoil. Most beginners would be ready to give up at that point. You'd be very effective in a fight, Lindybeige.

Good to see you guys collaborating! I definitely agree with the whole sight protector thing. It is one of the reasons I like the SMLE sights over the sights on my M1903. It is easy to find the thin front sight because you have visual reference points on both the front and rear sights.

[@186product7]

[@void870]

When it comes to the rear sight aperture having two types on the Lee Enfield, I'd say it probably has the same purpose as the switchable rear sight aperture on the M4 and M16. The smaller diameter sight would be best for daytime shooting, and the larger diameter sight is for low light shooting. At least, that is what my old Drill Sergeant told us in Basic Training.

[@cymond]

I'm pretty sure that the standard M-16 rear sight also changes your zero when you flip it. IIRC, the larger ring is zeroed for 0-200, and the smaller is for 200+ yards

[@Comissar]

[@astrayadventurer4450]

Lol beginning was like something from Monty Python. Love it!

[@itsapittie]

I'm impressed! That's actually quite respectable shooting for a beginner.

[@walterzoomie]

Bloke: In my opinion, your buddy is straining and uncomfortable in his prone position on the table top because his rest is forcing him to hold the rifle much too high...subsequently, he's not putting the butt of the rifle into the meaty part of his shoulder pocket. (we called it "natural point of aim" in the USMC back in the day) I would think he'd be much more comfortable eliminating the rest you are using here and then supporting the rifle in his left hand with his elbows on the table top.

[@medicalman5495]

Yeah if he isn't comfortable with the kick he'd be better off just standing, his friend made the comment a certain gun wasn't built for a guy his size, but some 5'5 120 pound women can handle weapons like this just fine.

[@bronco5385]

Opposite problem, actually: the rest was too low, and Lloyd was trying too hard to get the rifle low enough to fit on the rest, resulting in him shouldering the rifle WAY too low on his shoulder (which is why he had the problem with the butt slipping under his shoulder under recoil). ....But then again, when he was handling the rifles during the "discussion" part at the end of the video, he was *STILL* shouldering it way, way too low on his shoulder, which forced him to do a weird goose-neck to get down to the sights, so maybe that's just how Lloyd thinks it's supposed to be shouldered? No offense, Lloyd, but your shooting position and body posture were all kinds of FUBAR. Did Bloke not give you any dry-fire pre-range instruction?

[@HitodamaKyrie]

MedicalMan Well, 5'5" lady is a bit different than Lindy's like 7ft or whatever body.

[@TheOlsonOutfit]

I couldn't tell, but his body probably wasn't angled either , which can help .

[@myparceltape1169]

I didn't need to use a rifle to realise that a butt in my shoulder could break my collarbone if I was prone and low. If it had ever come to it my best hope would be to ground the butt on a rock and lie on it.

You make it sound like having a semiautomatic weapon is not an enormous advantage in war. It absolutely is, unless somehow every single one of your rounds kills your enemy, which it won't.

[@nomdeplume798]

In fairness, he did say it was about accuracy for a novice on a range, not a trained infantryman in combat. Having said that, in WW2 the British were always concerned about cost as well as running out of ammo. My late father in law was in the 50th Infantry Division from 42-46 and was amazed by the amount of equipment US troops had when he came across them. After speaking to a US infantryman and being told that the BAR was sometimes used when advancing across open ground for suppressing fire he tried it with his Bren, with 2 magazines taped together. He lost a stripe for wasting ammunition. He soon got it back as his company was running short of experienced men.

[@bladeklinge2224]

Eh, he brought up his perceived downsides to the garand (large open hole leading into the receiver and other stuff like weight) without bringing up the advantages it had as a semi automatic rifle. Which is fine I suppose, I remember when I was first learning about guns and how I understated the importance of the m1 being semi auto where other wwii rifles usually weren’t. Ig it’s a thing you realize is important once you spend some time learning about the topic. Lindybiege isnt really a gun guy so I can’t blame him for not understanding.

Feroce or any normal German school until at least the beginning of the new millennia or even now. It is pretty normal in Germany , Austria and Switzerland to learn reading when you start school with 6 or 7.

[@tropicalfruit4571]

I was told that somehow I was able to read when I was 2 and I guess that's true because I can read since I can remember but even in kinder garden, in Poland, they taught us how to read and with each year, till the end of your education, they demand you to read more and more. And this gets boring after you can read fluently. Can't even read the book you want because there's so much shit that school wants you to read...

[@jamesmaxwell4447]

I think Lindy would love to shoot a 6.5 Japanese or even a 7.7. The japanese rifles are some of the softest shooting fullsize rifles. My grandfather's war trophy 7.7 is a fantastic shooter. Hopefully the proliferation of youtube will bring back interest in the firearms and factory ammo could become more available as of right now... I have to cut down 30-06 cartridges and load my own.

[@Foche_T._Schitt]

I have yet to shoot my type 99 specifically because the ammo is so damn expensive. >:(

[@jamesmaxwell4447]

Yeah, its a painful thing. I don't really shoot much 30-06 but thankfully a lot of people with deep pockets do at some of the ranges I frequent and I snatch up all their left overs when they leave. I would say if there was any reason to learn reloading, owning a type 99 is totally the reason to do so. It's a great rifle and is criminally under appreciated. But i guess that's cause... all of what 2? whole guns used the ammo and most of the firearms were dumped into tokyo bay. *sigh*

[@Swarm509]

What year of rifle? I was looking at them just because of how soft shooting I have heard they are, but finding a nice example is hard... or I find "last ditch" rifles that I wouldn't really trust.

[@blackrat1228]

Funny complaint about the K31. It's actually got one of the most reliable ejection paths for the bolt actions I've shot and it's all depending on the speed you cycle the straight bolt. On a bench and with some practice you can lob it into the air into your waiting hand. Beige (understandably because he's new) gingerly cycled it which caused it to fall back into itself. If you rack it properly the casing is launched pretty far.

[@tubularfrog]

If you turn your right arm so that your elbow is about 90 degrees from where it was resting on the table top, your shoulder muscle flexes and provides a cushion to the recoil. The butt should rest between your collar bone and ball socket joint on that muscle. After firing an 8mm Mauser or 30-06 for several rounds you'll feel it in that area later. It's like a meat tenderizer. Oh. my mistake. I thought you were shooting from a table, but this prone. (I'm commenting as I watch). Some extra sandbags, or shotbags would be nice for resting the front end of the stock on. Excellent grouping of your shots for such a novice shooter. Really fun watching foreigners (I'm from the US) shooting at the range. Very nice selection of older military rifles. Replacing the trigger mechanisms with an after-market version would improve the precision some. I was able to do this with a Springfield A3-03 by using a Timney trigger group replacement, but then it wouldn't be stock military. It's all according to your preferences.

Lindy, for crissakes, STOP LIMP-WRISTING THE BOLT! Most bolt (and lever and pump) action guns function better when you work the action briskly and with a little bit of "oomph". If you gingerly baby it forward and back like that, you will induce additional failures. This is what caused the first jam with the Mauser: by slowly pushing the bolt forward, it allows the round to "pop" up out of the magazine well prematurely, and before the extractor claw can grab the rim.

[@blueband8114]

You two make a lovely couple.

[@Clarkecars]

As an American, that was issued an M16-A1 and never relied on these presented rifles in combat I can only go on my sporting experience and historical knowledge. My favorite would also be the No. 4. I have owned several and love their ergonomic advantages. Yes, the Garrand is semi-auto with 8 rounds, but the Enfield is 10 rounds with a very fast bolt that can be worked very quickly. As for accuracy, I would choose a rifle not included in your group, I presume because of age; though the Mauser is actually an older design. I would choose a Springfield 1903 A1 for accuracy. But I have seen MOA #4s. My friend has a Savage #4 that is the slickest action I have ever seen. Nice comparison video.

How on earth have the English won so many wars?

Bloke on the Range Fair. This was a very entertaining video to watch for some reason.

True. On the other hand, the English did sometime the oposite and lost. I.E. Hundred Years War -> They just start with a massive breakthrought, then they just muddle on through for a while, then they fought eachother and get their arse kicked.

Cunning; You get the French to help you beat the Germans, the Germans to help you beat the French, and the French and the Germans to help you beat the Russians..

Because they inhabit an island. They can afford making some failures, without being conpuered ;-)

they usually tend to muddle through, and this makes them unpredictable and dangerous
