Beige on the Range: Introducing Lindybeige To Four WW2 Rifles 

Get out of here stalker!

I was gonna comment the same thing

And he did that without looking when someone is giong to fire!

I cringed when I saw that XD

The kid isn't right beside the rifle, so it doesn't matter that much.

as a rule your head doesnt explode without hearing protection, your brains just leak out your nose a bit so im sure the kiddo would have survived

I was watching that too. Kid is a daredevil xD

TheGoldenCaulk as if an American could hear that over the sound of the garand pinging.

My favorite part of the video.

Where is this in the video?

@@98765zach if anyone can here the ping after their ears are vigorously screwed by a high velocity rifle round breaking the sound barrier.

I recognize you as a fellow follower of the gun christ. Please never change your avatar

I remember hearing about a massive issue with post war Israeli bought Czech made Mausers being absoutely awful for accuracy until it was discovered that the sights had been deliberately misaligned in the factory by the workers who were sabotaging the German war effort. The rifles were sold as surplus without anyone knowing about the sights being off.

lmao XD

Jairus The Adventurer! Tis true

The Germans in 1914 mistook SMLE fire for machine gun fire due to the speed that the british infantry could shoot. Plus you have 10 shots between reloading c.f. the 8 shot Garand. Both nice rifles though.

@@2bingtim the m1 garand has a much higher rate of fire than the Enfield. Not only is semi auto much faster than even the fastest bolt action, the en bloc is much faster than messing around with 2 stripper clips. The m1 outclasses every contemporary full power rifle fielded at the time

The semi auto. The quick loading of the 8 round clips. The fairly fast single cartridge loading. The accuracy. The excellent safety mechanism (fit for a suprise emergency) The muzzle velocity. Definitely my favorite weapon.

@@davecrupel2817 I like the Garand purely for the semi-auto, even if you don't need to rapid fire it the fact that there's no manual bolt to action between shots means your eyes never have to shift from the sights.

Thanks for clarifying.

Zack Shearer I've always pronsunced it as Garand, witch may sound funny.

Don't think I've ever heard it as Garand before.

The rifle was pronounced Garand, but the designer's name was pronounced Garand. Civilians would also say Garand instead sometimes.

The mans’ name is pronounced Gar-and, the rifle name is pronounced Ga-Rand.

Conner K Ward Seeing the Mauser that the bloke has got, I would t like it either. It's completely knackered. A better example would certainly be less awful.

Conner K Ward enfield is a better battlefield weapon

semi automatic lee enfield with k31 trigger and "beer keg" charging handle,chambered in 30-06 would be perfect

Honestly, the Enfield is a might fine rifle. And that's a beat-up Mauser, ach. I have an Enfield and used to have a Mauser - if I had to go into battle with either one, I'd take the Enfield every time. But I wouldn't turn down a Mauser in good condition.

The - Lee-Enfield No.4 is a british weapon, i guess the joke went over your head.

Please be a bojack reference

I see what you did here

It's a great deal better than the Skallagrim crossover.

That's too much, man!

Was unsure if he did not want to convey certain imagery or if a watermelon was a better size comparison. Still laughed.

" ici Jackal "

No, that's clearly Bloke in the Beige

MOOEYSMITH Blokebeige??

I'm gonna write something about this. G'day

I enjoy Lindybeige videos. But if there is a war, please dont put him in my squad. The fucky shooting I can tolerate, but the complaining between each round is horrific. Do the maths. If you put him on an automatic weapon it would be like having Ellen Degeneres next to you.

MOOEYSMITH you are so right.

Jeff Griffith gay

Nah Americans always say thirty-ODD-six.

Colton Regal If they're mentally handicapped, they do. Anybody who's spent 5 minutes around firearms knows it's aught.

UltimateMcNasty How does the rest of the world say it again.

@@nercksrule since us Americans came up with it we can call it whatever we please, and everyone I know here that uses and owns firearms says odd. Don't like the American way, oh well, you're wrong.. it's our round.

Yeah if he isn't comfortable with the kick he'd be better off just standing, his friend made the comment a certain gun wasn't built for a guy his size, but some 5'5 120 pound women can handle weapons like this just fine.

Opposite problem, actually: the rest was too low, and Lloyd was trying too hard to get the rifle low enough to fit on the rest, resulting in him shouldering the rifle WAY too low on his shoulder (which is why he had the problem with the butt slipping under his shoulder under recoil). ....But then again, when he was handling the rifles during the "discussion" part at the end of the video, he was *STILL* shouldering it way, way too low on his shoulder, which forced him to do a weird goose-neck to get down to the sights, so maybe that's just how Lloyd thinks it's supposed to be shouldered? No offense, Lloyd, but your shooting position and body posture were all kinds of FUBAR. Did Bloke not give you any dry-fire pre-range instruction?

MedicalMan Well, 5'5" lady is a bit different than Lindy's like 7ft or whatever body.

I couldn't tell, but his body probably wasn't angled either , which can help .

I didn't need to use a rifle to realise that a butt in my shoulder could break my collarbone if I was prone and low. If it had ever come to it my best hope would be to ground the butt on a rock and lie on it.

In fairness, he did say it was about accuracy for a novice on a range, not a trained infantryman in combat. Having said that, in WW2 the British were always concerned about cost as well as running out of ammo. My late father in law was in the 50th Infantry Division from 42-46 and was amazed by the amount of equipment US troops had when he came across them. After speaking to a US infantryman and being told that the BAR was sometimes used when advancing across open ground for suppressing fire he tried it with his Bren, with 2 magazines taped together. He lost a stripe for wasting ammunition. He soon got it back as his company was running short of experienced men.

Eh, he brought up his perceived downsides to the garand (large open hole leading into the receiver and other stuff like weight) without bringing up the advantages it had as a semi automatic rifle. Which is fine I suppose, I remember when I was first learning about guns and how I understated the importance of the m1 being semi auto where other wwii rifles usually weren’t. Ig it’s a thing you realize is important once you spend some time learning about the topic. Lindybiege isnt really a gun guy so I can’t blame him for not understanding.

Barry and Berry as soon as lindy said swizterland i knew

Two of my favorite youtubies on one video? Pinch me I must be dreaming. me 2 so good!

hot doug its real

Does this rule apply to the English language?If it does then you've got some problems,dear Septic.

Lols. You used Our language to name it so no you won't tell us how to pronounce it. I never got this either way, British '30-oh6' or US '30-ought6', surely it should '30-zero6' or '30-nought6'

Create your own language then you can tell us what to call it

@@dicky3340 win a war against us then tell us what we can and cant tell you

@@kain3991 you haven't won a war since 1945 😂😂

Rogerborg bren. Bren. Brenbrenbren. Brenbrenbrenbrenstupidspandaubrenbren huzzah!!!

PRIVATE PYLE! THERE YOU ARE!

TheGoldenCaulk Is this replacing Half in The Bag!?!

Is Lindybeige replacing Rich Evans?

PRIIIIIIVAAAAATE PYYYYLEEE GET THE FUCK OFF MY OBSTACLE

I'm pretty sure that the standard M-16 rear sight also changes your zero when you flip it. IIRC, the larger ring is zeroed for 0-200, and the smaller is for 200+ yards

Bloke on the Range I recommend a m39 mosin it's the best one

No need for Garbage Rods in that lineup...

Hes saving the worst for last Id imagine.

AlphaOmega An M39 is basically an uncut piece of wood versus those bolt guns and M1.

Andrew Ellis Uuhh, no? The Finns made the M39 into something akin to a K31 in quality. Hell, look at how they splice the stocks together with various styles of finger joints. The only thing Soviet on it is an antique receiver. The other nagants are basically junk, yes - but not the M39.

Then just put it in quotes to denote a colloquialism, Tommy.:p

Just think of it as a "naught" without the "n." And the Italian M1 isn't in .308 Winchester anyway, it's chambered in 7.62NATO [which is almost, but not quite, the same cartridge!] ;-D

yeah I always say o when I mean 0, something my grandmother taught me.

That is not my convension when naming years. However, it was broadcast from London in what they decided to call the "naughties". Normal people said what they wrote, "twenty oh six" and so on.

No headphones.

Oh okay, I wasn't sure how old he is. I would have estimated his age somewhere between 6 and 9 so he could have gone to school already. Also the learn to read thing was/is similar in Germany, children here learned or are still learning reading when they enter school which is when they are 6 or 7 years old.

Feroce or any normal German school until at least the beginning of the new millennia or even now. It is pretty normal in Germany , Austria and Switzerland to learn reading when you start school with 6 or 7.

That's weird. I was told that somehow I was able to read when I was 2 and I guess that's true because I can read since I can remember but even in kinder garden, in Poland, they taught us how to read and with each year, till the end of your education, they demand you to read more and more. And this gets boring after you can read fluently. Can't even read the book you want because there's so much shit that school wants you to read... I started a book 1 week before the end of vacations last year and I can't finish it since then...

RUSSIAN SPY....

Nah, it's just bloody easy with the rifle sitting on a box, normly you would hold it bare hands

@AnPrime $100 for the rifle and $50 for a fuckton of ammo.

Ray Bingo in more ways than one!

@@madcowrebel4216 i think the sights plagued him more

@@osmacar5331 The way they were talking about the sights made me think of microscopy work.

@@myparceltape1169 lol

I have yet to shoot my type 99 specifically because the ammo is so damn expensive. >:(

Yeah, its a painful thing. I don't really shoot much 30-06 but thankfully a lot of people with deep pockets do at some of the ranges I frequent and I snatch up all their left overs when they leave. I would say if there was any reason to learn reloading, owning a type 99 is totally the reason to do so. It's a great rifle and is criminally under appreciated. But i guess that's cause... all of what 2? whole guns used the ammo and most of the firearms were dumped into tokyo bay. *sigh*

What year of rifle? I was looking at them just because of how soft shooting I have heard they are, but finding a nice example is hard... or I find "last ditch" rifles that I wouldn't really trust.

Bloke on the Range Fair. This was a very entertaining video to watch for some reason.

True. On the other hand, the English did sometime the oposite and lost. I.E. Hundred Years War -> They just start with a massive breakthrought, then they just muddle on through for a while, then they fought eachother and get their arse kicked.

Cunning; You get the French to help you beat the Germans, the Germans to help you beat the French, and the French and the Germans to help you beat the Russians..

Because they inhabit an island. They can afford making some failures, without being conpuered ;-)

they usually tend to muddle through, and this makes them unpredictable and dangerous

"Allies won the war, therefor all their weapons were superior! And if you reply with factually based arguments I'll just call you a fanboy and disregard your comment! Haha!" -Lindybeige, """"""historian"""""".

+The Juice Careful there, mate. Too much salt is bad for you.

The AK47 is inferior to ww1 weaponry because the Soviets lost the Afghan War.

Spandau is/was an industrial suburb of Berlin many weapons were made there over the years none of which were called Spandau.

Owen Major he could never be carried by a horse because horses in battle or stupid just to continue the meme

gonavygonavy They just had a bad rifle

THOTH Almost some kind of sacrilege isn't it?

That's not remotely ironic.

The young Israel used a host of Nazi gear. flew Messerschmdts, shot mousers, etc. In a fight to the death you don't get picky about where your tools come from.

Theyre saving the worst for last I suppose.

sergeantbigmac The early Type 99s are good and what about the m39?

Yes those are both good examples, it was honestly just a joke. Ive handled enough clunky wartime Mosins that I thought others would get a laugh too.

Some people really hate on the mosins unfairly. Yeah the majority are worn out and pretty useless. But that's like buying a Rolls Royce with 500,000 miles on it, and when it breaks down on the way home you declare that all Rolls Royces are shit.

@TheVisigoth Maybe. Arisaka aren too hard to find in Australia where we pretty much have the strictest rule sfor countries that allow civilians to have guns. but then again we fought the japanese too so maybe thats why we have them
