Machine Gun Evolution - Machines of War

Wasn’t the stg 44 one of the first assault rifles?

[@MukiBlalock]

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE VIDEOS OF ALL TIME!!! VERY WELL PRODUCED, VERY INFORMATIVE, VERY ENTERTAINING!!! WELL DONE!😂😂😂 WELL DONE!!!😂😂😂❤🎉❤🎉

[@raymondyee2008]

Still remember seeing this on Nat Geo Australia. Eventually Singapore got the M-16S1 before replacing them with the SAR-21.

That rip from the A-10 must be terrifying for the enemy. It's such a short burst but lays down a devastating amount of 20mm projectiles at absolutely lethal speed.

[@Predator42ID]

The enemy wouldn't hear it as the rounds hit them unless they survive then yeah. Also it's a 30mm GAU-8 Cannon with 1200 rounds stored. The A-10 uses a combination of DU and HE munitions. The Arabs dubbed the A-10 the Devil's cross.

[@laernulienlaernulienlaernu8953]

@Predator42ID my bad, I was thinking of something else. But still, even if they survived I bet they'd be running pretty fast 😂

Nothing like the sound of an A-10 warthog. Unless you're on the receiving end. Then that Bbnrrrttttt is your call from St. Peter...

This Documentary gets points for originality but not very good for accuracy. Most notable is the Maxim gun. Firstly the Brit used it incorrectly and was using his training based on air-cooled machine guns. Thanks to the water jacket of the Maxim gun, all he had to do was hold the trigger for constant fire. Next, no, not one machine gun of today used anything related to Maxim's design. The barrel coming back before stopping causing the breach block to disengage and eject and reload wasn't a Maxim patent or design feature. In fact, in no way shape or form is the M2 Browning related to Maxim in the least, in fact, Maxim himself sued said inventor, only to lose. The Maxim gun uses a toggle lock mechanism to fire automatically. This Toggle lock is found on the C93 and the more famous P-08 Luger pistols. The M2 Browning uses a short recoil system, this system was patented and used in several of Browning's guns and is bar none the most common system around as it's used in nearly every single modern handgun. John Moses Browning, a Mormon, with 128 firearm patents, created many firsts and improved many others. This man single handily revolutionized modern arms as we know them today and was sued by Maxim and another German inventor, both lost. While Maxims are good, the army after three test comparisons had to relent to the fact Browning's M1917 was a better design overall.

They said MA Deuce in service since the 1950s wrong in service since the 1920s

[@jaredelizardo201]

​​@@JerryRedd-bs8xiwhat u expect from A bunch of misinformation idiots who have little too none firearms background history!#typical Republicans and the bullshit!

[@firstnamelastname6216]

They said that particular MG had been in service since the 1950's.​@@JerryRedd-bs8xi

[@kevinfidler8074]

The tommy gun John Thompson invented was available during ww1. Shipments actually arrived on Armistice Day, so they were not used

[@MartinNicol-bk7ny]

Awesome pure ❤thy 🙏 😮😮

[@davidkelly7459]

The A 10 warthog is the awesome ground support airplane

[@MukiBlalock]

5.5 MILLION?!!?!!!😮😢🫣😩💯🤔😱

[@JerryRedd-bs8xi]

True!

[@MukiBlalock]

Multiply the 1 machine gun by five, it's game 🎮 over for the advancing army!

[@jonwingfieldhill6143]

If you know f all about machine guns great documentary if you do this thing has more holes in it than a WW1 battalion against a maxim 😂😂

[@cindys1819]

There's nothing like a two squads with SHOTGUNS. Good luck facing scatterguns albeit with the right lenth barrels, chokes and shell ammo.

[@kevinfidler8074]

Unless you are further away, with a rifle

[@SDNRathaur]

Hindi episode pls upload

[@somethingelse4878]

I read a lot of Vietnam memoirs books In one of them they called the M16 shitty shitty bang jam after chitty chitty bang bang the film I don't know why I have never heard that more often because it's the perfect name for the early M16

[@cindys1819]

There's nothing lie a battalion of guys with SHOTGUNS....good luck facing scatter guns albeit with fitted proper size barrels, chokes and proper shell ammo.

[@MukiBlalock]

Problem with the m-16 was it would jam and get clogged up! Plus, it fed up n' to the right in each round fired! 😢 It was part of the U.S.'s undoing in Viet-Phukin'-Nam man!!!😂😮😢

[@Predator42ID]

M-16 jamming came from two things and two things only. First the Army as a cost-saving measuring used the wrong powder in the ammo that the gun wasn't designed for. Second, no cleaning kits were issued or taught on how to maintain the M-16. As for clogging, the M-16 and its later successors have all proven to be just as reliable and robust as the AK platform. AK is just easier to maintain.

[@JerryRedd-bs8xi]

Also chrome lined bore and chamber was deleted from production Stoner had designed it with chrome for cleanliness.​@Predator42ID

[@josevalenzuela7610]

on minute 15 of the video when proving the machine gun can cut down a fully grown tree. I see that the tree had been already pre_cut by chainsaw.

[@Litlogibear]

Noticed that too 😂

[@KevinN-df8eo]

Plus, they went for a top heavy pine, already leaning over. They kept the cut hidden as well. If you're going to cheat at least have the self respect to put some effort into it.

Sh!t!😂😂😂 The Gatling gun's rippin the target a new asshole!😂😂😂

[@JerryRedd-bs8xi]

The Gatling gun was an improved Puckel gun from the 1700s.

[@lusigijustus7274]

If I see nothing wrong with this video, am part of the problem. Weapons of war just benefit military industrial complex. Their children dont fight in wars. Its poor people who fight and die for them. A humongous amount of money on war machines. Yet no money for schools, hospitals and social amenities that can really help humanity. Profits in gold, losses in blood. In this game of thrones, where do you stand personally?

[@Predator42ID]

Okay, firstly that is a myth that has been proven wrong time and again. Many kings, presidents, nobles, and rich folk have fought and died in war. Drafts don't discriminate. Also, schools, hospitals, and social amenities have profited greatly from wartime development. Canned food, microwaves, advancements in aircraft, cars, computers, radios, medical tech. Half of everything people use today is a direct result of war. Why because necessity is the mother of invention. War promotes survival, survival promotes desperation, and desperation promotes innovation. For all the crap people like yourself say about war profiteering, fun fact, companies like Walmart, Amazon, and soda brands, make more money than the entire military and arms company combined. Then whenever Europe gets in trouble or complains about the US military-industrial complex, they always pull out their wallets begging for US weapons when they get attacked and that is how the US now owns half of the world's arms market. Guns don't promote war, it's the person who does.

Calm down Esmeralda..

[@vincedibona4687]

Found the bleeding heart liberal.

[@kevinfidler8074]

A quick look at history should tell you that the people who didn't have guns were "deleted" by governments who did have guns. 30-60 million people just under Soviet Russia, and another 100 million in China "deleted" if you get what I'm saying

[@TCWTitan50]

Oh fuck off your high horse

[@tanthiennguyen9308]

Mexico Filme Guns

[@jaredelizardo201]

Is just me or do others find it absolutely bullshit that the army's of WW1 in Europe would ues 1 & only 1 MG too defend there trenches against a hole ww1 infantry company please at the the battle of verdun in France in middle of 1915 the French Hochkiss MG was uesed in Pairs aka Groups of 5 too Ten for the entire defense of that city on the front lines 5 too ten Hotchkiss MG could easily kill a Entire Imperial German Army Company or more with continuous fire of 8×50mm aka French 8mm Leblle!

[@omarramirez8671]

Its really da same gun again and again
