Bloke gets a rare chance to take a hands-on look at the super rare Swiss G150 subsonic precision rifle developed for the cold-war P-26 stay-behind resistance organisation. This rifle is in 10.4x33mm, aka .41 Magnum, but with a huge great 408gn bullet for quietly smashing up Soviet communications equipment, radars etc. from a safe distance of up to 200m. It's built on a commercial Sauer rear wedge-locked action and has a 3 shot box magazine, topped with an unmarked German scope with a BDC drum, and was made in extreme secrecy for P-26, partly by SIG, partly by gunsmiths in the organisation. More on P-26 here: en.wikipedia.o...
By the way, this video required not only the permission of RUAG, but also of the Swiss Army to be released for publication! Thanks so much to both of these organisations for allowing me to film and for allowing me to publish!
WARNING: a$$hattery in the comments by people who want to show off how ignorant they are of Switzerland in WW2 and the Cold War, or of the law of neutrality, will be at best laughed at, at worst deleted.

Just another thought, I'm sure that the ctg offers more than manageable recoil, important for follow up shots at a moving target, but I have to wonder if a modern version might be produced with either the 460 or 500 S&w magnums, or perhaps the 300 blackout subsonic 🧐 afterall, the "cold war" may be over, but those sorts of threats never go away...historically speaking!
@BlokeontheRange
@BlokeontheRange 2 года назад
Firstly, recoil for follow-up shots is less important for a bolt action, cos you disturb your position to work the bolt. It is important for watching the impact though. And it just so happens that B+T have made a very similar-looking (and clearly derivative) rifle in 300 BLK ;)

@BlokeontheRange
@BlokeontheRange 5 лет назад
OK, let's test your contention by looking at some literature. Smith and Smith, Small Arms of the World, 10th Edition, P.263 (an American book) says "silencer". The British Military uses the term "silencer" also (see, for instance, Laidler, The Sten Machine Carbine, ch.8, which cites War Department documents which designate the STEN Mk.II(S) as "silent" and provided with a "silencer". In any case, the British legal term from the Firearms Acts is a "moderator", not a suppressor. And a moderator which renders the firearm practically silent deserves the term "silencer" (I have reliable second-hand info that the G150 is indeed practically silent). But if you want to waste your time arguing on the internet that of the three commonly-used terms only 1 is correct due to some strange recent social marker thing amongst gun people in the US, you crack on son ;)

@Soff1859 5 лет назад
If its about antennas and such those might well not be guarded at all. Here in switzerland, the mountainous parts at least, you need relay antennas on mountain ridges to communicate with nearby valleys. Those probably wouldnt be guarded at all or just very lightly (at least until a bunch of them got taken out). Also the reprisals would most likely follow assasinations of generals and such, not some lone private guarding some antenna.
@Treblaine
@Treblaine 5 лет назад
​@@Soff1859 I wouldn't count on the Red Army tolerating even the lowest ranked soldier being shot at. It's hard to understand this contradiction, how the Red Army could on the one had do so little to protect their soldiers due to things like gas masks that contained asbestos yet they would care about lowly conscripts being sniped. The distinction is that the Red Army's propaganda can cover up that there's asbestos in the gas masks, they can cover up meningitis outbreaks, they can't cover up that soldiers are being shot in broad daylight and they'll be afraid to even walk outside. The whole point of snipers shooting at soldiers it to reduce the combat effectiveness of such infantry units, it forces them to do less effective soldiering. So this is why such armies will order reprisals in response to rank-and-file riflemen being sniped. It's a way to stop the sniping attacks by hurting what the snipers care about. The commanders who order these massacres are only trying to stop a mutiny by their men who refuse to stand at a guard position due to fear of sniper attacks. And the soldiers who have seen their colleagues be shot "in cold blood" will be hopped up wanting revenge on a scapegoat. The UK had similar stay-behind units and they had trained sharpshooters/snipers but apparently their main target was not any German or Axis soldiers. Their task was to assassinate collaborators. This was something that was not calculated to cause reprisals because these totalitarian regimes weren't assumed to be particularly riled up by "foreigners" (as they saw it) being killed. And equipment loss... come on, a conscript isn't going to be furious and want revenge over mere metal being destroyed. They won't be afraid of equipment being destroyed when they often don't even know what the equipment does. They will want revenge over seeing a 19 year old fellow soldier get their head blown off by a sniper who attacked suddenly and sneakily with no chance for anyone to fight back.

It's not that surprising that it is well balanced despite its length. I mean, a large component of a moderator/silencer/suppressor (whatever you want to call it!) is fresh air, after all!

Did the Swiss ever do any K31s or any of the other 7.5x55 guns converted to fire this cartridge? The rim of the .41 magnum is nearly the same as the 7.5x55; it fits well in a K31 bolt. It seems like a pretty natural fit to me, enough so that I got a spare K31 action to make my own 41 magnum carbine with.

I was wondering how they came up with a relatively uncommon US revolver cartridge for this thing. Your statement explains it to me.

@@oldesertguy9616 That and the 10.4 vetterli experience. When the swiss adopt a caliber they tested it. The STG 90 and GP 90 developpement was a ten millions of cartridges fired kind of deal. They had very good data on the 10.4 vetterli but wanted a straight case, smokeless powder and a bit more oomph. The .41 magnum was an easy choice.

For a few years the Rifles were given to the Military Police and since I was at the right time at the right place, we could test them out. They are really quiet your really hear the firing pin. After that you hear the bullet flying through the air like "schschschsch" and then of course the impact for its quite a hefty bullet. Lesser known fact: The Ammo was intentionally made from a combination of a Revolver casing and a rifle type bullet so if anyone would find the casing they would not think it would belong to the bullet fired in your russian commanders chest. Also you could collapse the stock and unscrew 2 sections of the silencer. Then you have a really small package to take with. Best regards from Switzerland HptfwO

Interesting, thanks! I'd just presumed that the .41 case was used cos it was available if obscure.

You mentioned that the whole P-26 thing turned into a scandal. Could you perhaps talk a little more about that? What was the concern of the people who brought it up and how much basis did their worries have in reality?

Because they were a treasonous bunch of weirdos who thought they were above the law. Working for Nato while pretending to belong to a neutral country. They should be prosecuted.

Soviet Officers wear clothing made of material, hence "anti material" rifle. Bullet weight could easily be driven by best possible terminal ballistics while remaining subsonic.
