The CETME L is famous for the unreliability. At first it was amazing, even considered the best most precise 5,56 rifle in NATO when it went out of the factory, but it was expensive, so CETME (the company that manifactured it) decided to make it dirt cheap, and screw it big time.

This video doesn´t tell the whole story: Marcolmar builds are quality, and they have put great attention to detail giving new life to what was a shitty rifle. ALSO, hot 5.56 has to be used with CETME L to work properly, since they were designed to work with the SUPAH HOT Santa Bárbara 5.56 ammo from back in the day. Last, but not least, the manual states that there is a break-in period where jams can happen, typical with some stamped guns. Give it some love for a couple hundred rounds and it will be very reliable.

@@IrishThunder2020 Close. The Steyr-Mannlicher rifle ejected the clip out the bottom when the fifth and final round was chambered, but you could eject the current clip at any time by pulling back the bolt and hitting the button to eject the clip out the top of the rifle at any time to insert a fresh 5-round clip.

If it jams once after a few hundred rounds, eh, okay. Keep an eye on it. If it jams multiple times within a few hundred rounds, I don't wanna EDC it. That's why I'm on my second 9mm shield. It's not the highest capacity pistol, it's not easiest to modify, it's a little jumpy... But damned if it hasn't had a single malfunction in over 5,000 rounds spread over both guns. Even my glocks have an occasional stove pipe. But the little Shield 9 that I can go buy for like 350 bucks out the door hasn't jammed or had any sort of malfunction once. That's shooting steel ammo, all sorts of hollow point, shooting with a 12 dollar promag magazine, and even with a RDS it's not really designed to have. It'd be nice to have 15 rounds but then again the shield is so small it really is incredibly easy to IWB carry and barely notice it which is nice. And way more important... It shoots. Every time. I know when I pull my gun out and squeeze the trigger that 124 grains of Federal HST will exit that barrel at around 1,000 FPS. And you know what? For a 300 dollar gun, it's actually pretty damned accurate. I can reliably pull off head shots in roughly the center of the head at 10, 15, even 20 yards. I wouldn't care to start trying to get crazy at over 50 yards, but I have full confidence that if I needed to I could get hits on a man sized target at anything less.

The same happened with the AMELI, the UK was interested on it, but they rejected it after they saw how cheaply made (and because of this, unreliable) they were. On the other hand, the CETME C, the original one which the German G3 is based on, is known to be a great gun, sturdy and reliable.

The CETME is a G3/HK91 (HK-93 for 5.56). The G3 (7.62 x 51) does hammer your shoulder. Its accuracy is reliable to 300 yds or so in its vanilla form. It's a battle rifle and not a tack driver. I have a G3 but really just as a collection piece. The G3 has it's place among the AR/M16, FN FAL and AK-47 platforms as 20th Century modern battle rifles. The G-3 ejection port is fine.

The Mauser Gewehr 1888 and Bertier Mle 1890 are two of the more famous ones. Many of the rifles used in World war I started with this system, but all were eventually modified into the stripper clips we're more familiar with today, since I think we all know what having a small opening in the bottom of your gun that can't be effectively closed up or covered will do the action, internal magazine and chamber of the weapon when you're just carrying it out around in the field, much less once you actually get into combat, and worse, if you're unlucky enough be fighting in one of the locales that people most think of with mud, muck and trenches in France.

Hey Matt, I have been thinking of an item that would give you trouble to shoot through, and I think I have a challenge for you a Church Bell. When I was a kid, I had the job of going to the bell tower and cleaning the bell once a month. I remember how thick it was, and when the church removed the bell, it took 2 cranes to get it down safely. Just an idea. What do you think.... maybe???

C'mon then Matt, we need to know; is the Cetme finally going to beat the Hi-Point for the title of 'worst gun ever'?

[@michaeltheoret3842]

I would rather have a Hi-Point . Sure, Hi-Points are about the UGLIEST Guns out there ,but ugly doesn't matter if the thing works well and saves Your Family from a Methed -out intruder bent on murdering the whole lot just to rob Y'all .

The UFSA ZiP .22, Cobray Terminator and FP-45 Liberator are all worse than the Hi-Point and CETME Model L.

I can always assume that I'll be absolutely entertained watching your videos. Best stuff there is.

So besides 70% of service rifles from the late 1800's, the Garand is the only rifle to use an en-bloc clip that ejects automatically, though most do so as they load the last round. But semi-automatic rifles that use en-bloc clips are few. I can only think of the RSC and Pedersen rifle, and the RSC needed you to manually eject it.

[@unclebmcc6848]

French Canadian design. But you probably never taught that.

[@ourichie]

Italian Carcano used an enbloc clip that ejected out of the bottom of the magazine

I'm impressed with that glass, I've seen WW2 surplus black tip 30-06 go through a nearly inch thick steel I beam that came from a railroad bridge. Tough stuff!

[@jacobstallcup8648]

well you also gotta think thats not a full power 3006 as the m1 garand cant take the pressure of modern rounds so if you get that back tip and put it in a new case and reload it to now days pressure for 3006 is about 65,782psi for modern day and max of 55k for m1 you can get about 568 fps more or about 890 ftlbs more energy

[@Lukronius]

@@jacobstallcup8648 Nothing you said is relevant to what NOLA_Ken said. He specifically referenced military issued WWII black tip ammo, which was commonly and safely shot in M1 Garands, doing specific damage to something. Snipers using M1-D configurations commonly used black tip as their ammo of choice. Military 30-06 is “full power” by caliber and military standards, and by no means underpowered or anemic. You can always load hotter cartridges in a bolt action than you safely can in an auto-loading gun, as there is no pressure/timing used to cycle the action in a bolt gun, and no mechanisms set in motion by gas pressure. The Garand was simply designed to reliably run off of the timing and (still very high) pressure of M2 ball without damaging moving parts. There is also a difference in the burn rate and potential energy of the powder used in military 30-06 compared to modern hunting ammo, which makes a huge difference in the pressure spike exerted on the moving parts of a Garand. With minimal modifications, you can run the HOT loads you’re referring to in a Garand. However, since it’s not a hunting rifle, it’s usually not all that important to most owners. Point is, that window got hit with full-fledged 30-06. No reason to act like it was just lucky it only got shot by a Garand.
