@@thickgirlsneedlove2190you maybe COULD, but in this case he purposely restored it to not fire, and showed a few things he did to ensure it would not fire.
Absolutely beautiful work. It was incredible to see this gun had a full drum of ammo still in it, as well as powder that still ignited! It makes me wonder if the soldier who carried it lost his life. I can’t imagine why else it would have been left behind (aside from a retreat).
The gravity of repairing a gun by a soldier who could have been KIA does mean that the music was almost disrespectful. But hey it is maybe better than Beethoven. But yes the work was good. Maybe a better choice of background music will be chosen next time. My grandfather fought in WWI and my father and his brothers fought in WW2 I researched both wars from a soldiers perspective and they were pretty dam awful. May they all rest in peace no matter which side they fought on.
Quite precise restoration of this heavily rusted submachine gun. Some activities can probably be performed using sandblasting, it would be more precise. However, the restorer's goal was to perform these activities by sanding and this should be respected. The purpose of clogging the barrel and firing pin is to remove the features that make it possible to shoot (!). Congratulations and best regards 💖👋😀.
@@daleburrell6273 I guess a better way of phrasing it is that I always thought the PPSh-41 was a awesome weapon. If I could marry a gun, it would be a Glock.
Damn, if you had of got anymore soil out of that thing you could have classed this as a gardening video lol, well done I just can't get enough of these restorations.
Maravilhoso trabalhado de restauração, mantendo a originalidade do desgaste pelo tempo e condições em que estava a peça, impedindo seu funcionando de forma definitiva e transformando algo destruído em algo histórico. Parabéns irmão.
Not bad. Definitely old school, dude needs a media blaster. Would have been more impressive if he had removed all the craters as others have mentioned. I think Rick Dale would have done better.
Very good work. It would be even better if you had soldered everything, then the weapon wouldn't look like a crater landscape on the moon. If you were to find used, original wooden parts for this weapon, it would certainly look even better. Still, thumbs up, congratulations! Good job.
Agree with the music suggestion. It definitely has to go. Just use the ambient sounds of the tools. You can then record room tone for 25 minutes and lay that “almost silent” sound underneath all your assembled edit clips on it’s own separate audio track. The audio will soften the room tone inconsistencies between your various clips and link them together audio wise.
To be qualified for a restoration like this one has to be familiar with every nut bolt spring every part of the fire arm in fact be able to construct one from scratch. Its really incredible how easy you make such a difficult task seem. You are an artist! Amazing
Those bullets look so cool, but its a bit sad because you know the person who had this didnt stand a chance, but at least shot off about 2/3rds of their drum
Am not so much a gun person myself but I really enjoyed this from a purely restoration of an antique standpoint. Amazing. Might not be such a good idea to test fire that weapon though.
Well done , fantastic job ! But if you could distress the stock, maybe hit it with chains or something so it's more in keeping with it then it would be perfect👍
I’d have a very long string attached to the trigger for at least the first dozen rounds. Nice clean up job, but that is one very rough condition weapon.
Some soldier failed. This could've capped at least 20 more enemies on the battlefield😅 Dude, phenomenal job though on the restore. I can't imagine how much time it took. Kudos.
I had to mute the audio. An incredible piece of work on the gun, excellent job editing. What caliber? 9MM? Also, how many total man hours to complete? Thank you for sharing.
Need to invest in a laser that removes rust. That would preserve more of the original metals of the gun as well as clean areas you can't easily access.
