Browning 1917 

Easily on of the best gun designers ever

His genius is just amazing. Firearms still being produced today. Unchanged from the original design. Browning was definitely the best gunmaker ever

I would love to get a replica BAR (Browning M1918) one day. Such a huge gun, and they were giving it to 16-18 year old guys! Sixteen pounds! (7.3Kg) And the M1922 variant was TWENTY FOUR POUNDS! (11Kg) It was also a whopping 47 inches long, almost four goddamn feet (1200mm).

Even to this day our military is still rocking one of his original designs, how amazing does ones design have to be to still be in use by an entity who won't even use the same company for their underwear the next year

You probably dont give a damn but does anybody know a way to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my login password. I would love any tips you can give me!

It is impressive how people in 1800s and 1900s were good inventors John Browning is clever

Then it would be the opposite. A heating device.

@@GPDusty I believe you meant to say bacon cooker

@@lunchbox1553 Ah yes, the american way.

That could’ve worked yet I doubt that was on anyone’s mind during the First World War. Were you to get your hand on one of these and turn that cylinder into a silencer, you’d have a nightmare on your hands

Want if hear me out we use the water jacket as a big tea kettle

I could be wrong but I was under the impression that air-cooled .30 cals were being used extensively in ww2.

Considering how complex the Bofors 40 mm's basic mechanism is, even without over engineering, that would take a lot of time and effort (and donations) by vbbsmyt: maritime.org/doc/boforstm252/part2.htm The gun is so powerful that it needs its own hydraulic recoil cylinder, the design of which (the Schneider recoil/buffer mechanism) was used on Schneider-designed French, US, and Russian artillery in WWI and WWII. That part alone would be complex enough to be the subject of a short video.

@@conorclimo8534 Just watch the video on the maxim gun and imagine it many times bigger.

boy do i have news for you

For what it's worth (and I know that's not much), the "Sir" goes with the person's given/first name, not with the family name/last name/surname. So, in the case of Sir Isaac Newton, you can say "Sir Isaac" alone, but you can't say "Sir Newton". Knighthoods go back farther in history than real last names do. (To be really, really pedantic, the knighthood dies with the knight, so Isaac Newton ceased being a "Sir" when he ceased being alive... but, to be fair, almost nobody follows that rule anymore. It feels like taking an accomplishment away from the person you're talking about.)

The cartridge itself stops it from falling. It pulls it into the groove on the bolt head that holds the rim. The new cartridge will push the old one out the bottom. If there was no cartridge it would most likely just fall down into the groove and do nothing. Note the horizontal spring loaded pin ensures the extractor is on a one way path when it has a cartridge and is at the end of its travel.

Ok, I figured it out from this video: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cpm_VxIM3-I.html There's a small ledge at the top of the track that prevents it from falling down. This is another reason why the peg on the extractor is springy and compressible. When the bolt goes forward the peg spring compresses so the peg can get above the ledge, and when the bolt is going back the peg is extended, so the ledge blocks it.

At least three. One for the gun, one for the tri-pod, and at least one ammo bearer.

The steam chest (water can) would only have a little water in it to start. You filled the water jacket with the rear plug. As the water in the jacket boiled steam would exit via the top tube then down the hose to the chest. There it would condense back to water. This water could then be poured back in to the jacket. There were no pumps or suction device on the gun to circulate the water

Me and Me to prevent the gun from overheating, its a water cooled machine gun

Its American machine gun!

@@vojnanaoruzanja9901, Yes,and?

@@obemass its From America with love!

Daniel: The example I examined had such a safety feature, but I did not include it in this animation since Dolf Goldsmith's reference book suggested that they were rare. Perhaps I shall modify the animation to add it. Rob

pretty much, the M2 is essentially a scaled up version of the air-cooled variant of this gun, the M1919.

I believe there are old US Army training films that show the M1917 being set up for indirect fire. I don't know if it was used much in actual operations.

Water cooling jacket.

@@JohnSmith-fd5un oh thanks for the info didnt know that old machine guns need a water cooler since they freeze water

I believe you refer to the cocking lever, pivoting at the rear of the bolt. It cams the firing pin back to engage the sear, and is actuated by the angled notch in the receiver top plate.

The water boils off as steam. With the barrel in the centre, when half the water has boiled away, the barrel would overheat and melt.

Historically ignorant post. In 1917 there were NO Nazis, and the Browning was not deployed to Europe until 1918.

@@vbbsmyt there were NAZIS since 1875, and I was one of the first ones to have one since 1916 by UPS .

Thank you! 😃

too?

Most heavy machine guns of WW1 used a water jacket to keep the barrel cool during sustained fire. The heat from the cartridges caused the water in the jacket to boil, and the steam was piped off into a condenser can. Without water cooling the barrels would rapidly over heat and be written off. If the gunners allowed the steam to vent into the atmosphere, the plume of steam would quickly identify their position to enemy gunners. Also every can of water had to be carried by soldiers several miles up to the front, so conserving water was very important. A good example of the condenser can be seen in my animation the Vickers MG ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gG2YfcAJrtU.html

@@vbbsmyt hi V... ' big thank about water in the barrel with a machine gun.. almost same as coolant radiator grill in the vehicle

There is a Gast gun (specifically a GSh-23) video that you can see right now. ;) But not from RU-vid... www.bilibili.com/video/av4606406/
