[@no-legjohnny3691]

One incredibly unique fact that I think you missed when talking about the FG42 was its dual mode operating system that I don't think has been done on any other (at least well-known) weapon. If you were firing the gun on semi-auto, the gun fired in a closed bolt configuration for superior single shot accuracy. But when you switched it to full-auto, it would start shooting from an open bolt like a typical LMG. Very weird fact about it that is often forgotten about the weapon itself in my opinion.

[@DarthBrandybuck]

@no-legjohnny3691 ah man I totally forgot to mention that! I absolutely read that in my research though. Good point

[@Watchdog_McCoy_5.7x28]

The Armalite AR100, CETME Model A, FN HAMR, Johnson LMG, LWRC IAR all fire from open and closed bolt like the FG42.

[@Jazpazzaz]

For anyone wondering about the VR game he's playing for showing off a lot of these, it's a game called Hotdogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades. It's a fantastic game with over 500 perfectly modeled firearms (and counting) and plenty of high-quality mods for weapons and maps. The hidden gem of this game is Take and Hold, a fantastic game mode that I have personally played literal HUNDREDS of hours of, it's endless fun. Plus there are tons of other game modes and plenty of sandbox levels. The devs are constantly adding new things, even 8 years after the game's original release. All this for only 20 bucks. BUY IT! (VR is required). P.S this video was fantastic.

[@DarthBrandybuck]

thanks! Take and Hold is fantastic. it took me far too long to learn how to spawn lock magazines 😂

My Dad had a gun shop when I was growing up and had an SAAS system with a 12" barrel in 7mm-08. It was one of the greatest hunting pistols I've ever seen in action. I really wish he wouldn't have gotten rid of it. It was a little hot on the hand, but after putting a muzzle brake on it, it really smoothed out. Really great woods pistol.

[@avtips4779]

Hey, if you haven't already completely planned all of the guns you will feature in this series, you should seriously consider featuring the "Obrez pistol". It's a strange modification some people did on Mosin Nagant Rifles, by removing the stock and cutting off most of the barrel.

[@Joker-ny7jh]

I'm honestly surprised I haven't seen an iceberg video about firearms, let alone the odd ones. Very interesting, you earned a sub lol. Here's a suggestion if it wasn't included, check out the "Cripple Shotgun", I believe Forgotten Weapons has a video covering it

[@HairyHarpy]

This is great inspiration for fictional weapon concepts

[@AsbestosEnjoyer]

I've never really understood the consept of a proggressive trigger for weapons intended for military use, because one of the big things that adrenaline does to you is it almost completely removes your fine motor functions, meaning unless you're extremely skilled, it's difficult to pop off single shots. That is unless I've understood the order of the firing modes copmletely wrong and pressing the trigger all the way down causes the gun to fire in semi auto.

[@DarthBrandybuck]

nope, light press is semi,full press is auto. a wierd idea for sure

[@rvanhees89]

Thats why you train, train, train up to the point of failure. So it becomes a drill, and in the muscle memory, so you dont lose your sh*t when it gets real

[@DSlyde]

If these are only level 1, I'm hyped for the rest. Many of these would be level 3 of most non-enthusiasts lists, so I'm excited to see things I've never even heard of later on. That and the accuracy and slick presentation definitely earned a sub and a comment for the algorithm

[@DarthBrandybuck]

@DSlyde I appreciate it! there are definitely some wacko ones out there that I hadn't even heard of before I started researching for this project.

[@Legitpenguins99]

The Sharps wasn't the "standard issue rifle" at the time, hell it wasn't even the standard issue breach loader (which were generally only given to calvary). The standard issue rifle was the muzzle loading 1861 Springfield rifle musket, loaded just like the brown bess from the revolutionary war only much, much more accurate. The closest thing to "standard issue" breach loader was the Spencer repeating rifle. The army standardized this as the standard issue calvary carbine after the war

[@DarthBrandybuck]

@@Legitpenguins99 Sure, it wasn't the only rifle being used, but it saw heavier use than even the Spencer for a good chunk of the latter part of the Civil War, especially among cavalrymen

[@Karlsson-dm4oy]

Love the use of H3VR footage, great way to showcase guns

[@NorthEevee]

I never thought I'd see an iceberg chart made specifically around one of my stupid autistic hyperfixations, but I am sooooo not complaining :3 Also another successor for Wendigoon's conspiracy and Dino Diego's fringe palaeontology icebergs. Can't wait for the other parts :333

[@DarthBrandybuck]

@NorthEevee I figured instead of waiting around for someone else to make the video I might as well do it myself!

[@e.eriksson8191]

Suggestion for your next parts: Groza and PSS pistols. Both were obscure Soviet assassination guns, using ammunition that traps the gas in the casing after a round is fired. This means that the gun is near perfectly silent and doesn't need a supressor. PSS is self loading and you'll hear the action cycle, but the Groza is scarily quiet.

[@DarthBrandybuck]

Those are both on lower levels! I actually have some vr footage using the groza. How the h3vr devs got detailed access to something like that is the biggest mystery at all.
