There's a very large chance that every type of gun possible has claimed a life, be it through war or someone being a dumbass and being unsafe with their firearms. While the MP40 was used specifically during WWII, and sure it probably took lives, but that doesn't eliminate the fact that to some people (myself included) it's a neat piece of history.

The MP 40 was really badly rusted .. Can you give us some backstory to these guns and what happened to make them this corroded?

[@michaeldhoore1178]

I'm not sure at all but... It looks like this one was dug up from underground, so it was probably buried for several decades in moist ground... maybe it was laying underwater but there would probably be even more corrosion, and not that orange looking dirt colour ( I think). Weapons like these, and even more dangerous unexploded 'Obusen', are still being found/dug up to this day by farmers f.e. in Belgium.

[@tomthompson7400]

he has a recipe for rust , every gun he half does is the same bright rust color and the rust comes off the same way , no pitting on screw heads or springs and every screw comes undone , but even the rusty plastic parts return to great condition ,,, fake fake fake.

[@hiokiryuuhei4714]

Could be found in some rivers sometimes, my grandpa was a boat driver cleaning the bottom of rivers when he was younger, he found several guns, and some were from WWII. He restored and shot with some of those. Unfortunatly, he had no permit to have a weapon so they were taken by the police 😓

[@f-5e126]

​@michaeldhoore1178 these videos are fake. If you want good historical weapon restoration videos check out backyard ballistics. Every video he makes the weapons he restores unique in how badly and the type of damage it has sustained and he narrates over it so you can understand he is doing. Usually if he can successfully restore the weapon he will fire it at the end of the video if deemed safe enough.

That is what you call restoring? 😂😂😂😂 This has nothing to to do with real restauration. Would you take one of thos guns to testing on the firering range ? Guess not. nwvofvthos3 "gibs"

[@FoundingYouTuber-2005]

Some of the comments in here are trollish and humorous. Reality: these rusted pieces of JUNK have no value. Fact is, there's thousands of excellent condition MP40s in the hands of private collectors. And there's even more available for purchase that are in good to fair condition. If any of those weapons have flaws, they are professionally repaired and restored to period condition by craftsmen gunsmiths. (Those guys are not typically on KZbin because they are professionals not entertainers.) Bottom line: this video is for your ENTERTAINMENT. It is not to show you how to professionally restore a WW II MP40 to 1940s condition. In my book what this video is: our host using "smoke, mirrors, and parlor tricks" to make a rusted piece of junk look pretty, nothing more, nothing less. At the end of the day there's a win/win. Our host realizes some income for his hard work; and KZbinrs have been entertained watching something looking grotesque being transformed into something pretty (as long as the lighting is correct, we don't get too close, OR ASK TOO MANY QUESTIONS!) Ask yourself, were you entertained? (I was.) Did you find the video relaxing (I did, that's a guy thing, getting voyeuristic pleasure from watching these kind of faux restoration videos). Do you like to browse hardware stores for an hour or two (I most definitely do)? Are you going to watch more of these? (I am.) If you answered "yes" to any of the above that makes it all worth it, don't you think. So let's all calm down, pop some corn, and enjoy the shows. Bonus Comment: Think of these rusted PsOS like ancient Roman coins dated 1800 years or older. A valuable coin is totally worthless if it is rusted, pitted, dented, chipped, and/or simply well-worn. Despite the coins decrepit condition, on fleabay there's sellers of "ancient Roman coins," guaranteed to be 2000 years old, priced from $5 to $30. You can even get a "big bag of ancient as-found Roman coins" for $20 to $50. Those coins are not restored. They have gone from the dirt to the collector (who pulls the valuable coins), and then sold on fleabay at junk prices. In contrast, check on fleabay for those same ancient Roman coins, in excellent condition, where the seller wants $10,000 for it.
