Doughboy Bringback MP-18,I on the Range 

I foresee no negative consequences coming out of this.

When I heard him say that I knew there was a joke there somewhere. I raced to the comment section to find out what it was.

When was the last time the Italians won a war??? The year BC???

@@VRichardsn Same with ignoring the Japanese...

That would be because the Italians WERE Allies at Versailles. Italy in WW1 fought on the same side as the British and the French.

Soldiers in the civil war SOMEHOW managed to bring back gatling guns

Just don't expect to find 9mm ammo in your sleepy midwestern gun store to feed it.

This is a very late reply but this happened in Britain as well. A Methodist church minister brought back an MP18 to the Isle of Man, of all places, and ended up donating it to a museum as he didn't know what to do with it. It even got brought out into service during WWII when military guns were in short demand on the island!

To be fair, that was the ONLY magazine they could find.

@@arvidfrykman9850 They could have developed one, but for the Luger magazine the production facilities were already there.

@@lbbrock8219 And from what I understand, they already had a lot of magazines waiting to be used, so the Germans wanted to be cost efficient and made the gun use the existing magazine... regardless of its many drawbacks.

@@Paludion A case of penny-wise and pound-foolish. Or maybe landser-foolish?

@@Assassinus2 Honestly for the time period it was smart, this way they actually got some use out of them. The snail mags for the Luger was a good choice, it works well enough and they didn't have to tool up to make another mag. Hindsight being 20/20 it would have been a waste of money to build a factor or tool one up to make new mags considering they lost.

That sounds like a gay porn plot.

Isn't that a reference to the Henry repeater?

Me too, although when considering the differnence in the Trommel/Drum mag and the standard 8 round magazine for the luger im not sure it'd fit, as the luger mag has the fairly prominent knurled button on the side to assist in feeding, while the trommel mag has a completely flat body in terms of the walls of the mag itself.

Update, it fits, probably wont work after 2 or 3 shots but thr normal luger mag does fit

@Eye Patch Guy exactly the same here

I need to start playing it again

Or buy Beyond the Wire which releases today

yes, yes you do haha! BF1 is the only FPS game I play since it came out 4 years ago

Why would you uninstall it in the first place?

You make it sound like we are idiots 😟

@@Betterhose, nope. Only that your tech can be really complex and overly expensive.

@@Betterhose if anything he’s implying the opposite. That y’all are smart as hell

I dont think an mp5 mag is complicated neither is a g3 mag. Both are export schlagers.

@@Betterhose no, that your engineers missed the lesson about how perfection is not reached when you can't add any more things to the design, rather it is achieved when you cannot remove anything more from the design. Of course, removing and simplifying things takes time. Like the quote goes, "I would have written you a shorter letter, but I was out of time. The CETME/HK roller delayed blowback is probably the optimum of simplicity. Yes, the bolt carrier group takes some precision machining, and you need to flute the chamber for ease of extraction. But you could make 90% of the receiver from polymer and it'd still work. If you made the front trunnion have the locking angles for the bolt, you could make the entire receiver from polymer. And operationally, those are damn good guns. It says a lot that the MP5 is still the best subgun in the world, 60 years after it was designed.

admit it you just want to tell Ian "you shoot worse than a girl" :D

To be fair Ian is kind of lanky and Mae is kind of burley. lol

Project lighting demonstrated Ian was the better shot

This is probably the saddest thing I'll read today

@Jerrol Hale not possible

@Jerrol Hale Yeah you guys keep clutching your pearls over imagined threats. I don't see the US disarming, ever. It's just too ingrained in our culture.

How did he manage to own one? Full auto guns were never obtainable by private citizens in germany at any time.

@@BlazingCyclone1337 same

To be honest, that rate reducer is brilliantly simple, and works like the Kriss Vector to reduce muzzle climb.

@@ScottKenny1978 They don't share any mechanical resemblance to each other. The Škorpion Vz.61 has no significant muzzle climb because it's in .32 ACP and has the rate reduction system, the Kriss Vector has a counter balancing recoil absorption system, not a rate reducer, it fires at 1200rpm, it's not reducing the RoF.

@@CaptainGrief66 the mechanical similarity is that both have a large weight that goes up and down.

Me squishing my cat now "Ka-chunk!"

Brrrrrrrrrt why? - 1st. in the mag dump speed trials, what more could you want, eh . . . ? : )

even Ian hates the Automatico

The MAB1918 is still cooler than the MP-18 and less clunky, though you can count the 1200 rounds per minute rate of fire as a disadvantage

Yeah the snaildrum is realy a drawback but on the otherhand not the one it was designed with at first. They just decided to use it because they allready had a ton of them in the supply line due to the artillery lugers and honestly that was propably the smarter idea rather than wait for the magazine production to meet demands.

_Nous mangeons vos escargots au petit déjeuner!_

Un magazine d' escargot?

Baguette

@Rome wasn't RUINED a day. not really. I mean, the Calico is a freaking MP5 with a goofy magazine. And apparently, if you are trained (or RTFM) the magazine is reliable. I'm willing to bet that Ian's has a chipped firing pin that is causing the problems.

And scared the hell out of the others!

You say "like all normal submachine guns do" However, I think you forget that this is THE FIRST submachine gun. This was designed in 1917! There was nothing "normal" about them yet. This was literally the only one when it was made. Othias has pointed this out over on C&Rsenal - guns didn't start out "gun shaped" like we know them. The design has changed and evolved over time. The first goal is to make bullets go "that way" safety and reliably. Ergonomics, streamlining, cost reduction, and miniaturization all come later. We start with something that works, then figure a way to do them a little better, then cheaper, then faster, then smaller and so on and so on. Small changes every few years until you get where we are today.

@@colemanmoore9871 Yeah, I'm just playing a wiseguy here...I forgot to include the sarcasm alert on my comment. Sorry for that inconvenience. I was kind of referring to MP40 and the UZI.

I was gonna say this too. It looks like maybe yeah?

Yeah, I've seen this pattern in all of Ian's submachine gun videos. If the bolt doesn't hit the back of the receiver, Ian reports very mild recoil. If the bolt hits the back, he reports that the recoil is harsh. And of course the harder it hits, the worse the felt recoil. I suspect you could fix the bad recoiling subs by just replacing the bolt spring with a stiffer spring. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the older guns still have their original springs. The owners may be hesitant to replace them because they want to keep the guns all original.

I imagine it would be a bit tricky to get exactly the right spring tension. It has to be hard enough so the bolt doesn't hit the rear, but soft enough that the bolt moves back enough to strip the next round out of the mag. And to continue in this manner whether cold or hot, clean or dirty, when the action may be a little looser or tighter, and allowing for variances in how hot the available wartime ammunition was. And the distance the bolt moves rearwards has to be within about a 1/2 inch. Pretty impressive that it works this well for something that's over 100 years old.

I think a stiffer spring has some downsides, such as increased force/effort required to cock the gun, or malfunction clearance, and possibility of the bolt short stroking. Also, it increases the force of the bolt going forward, which for open bolt guns, can cause the gun to dip. It's finely balanced. Guns are great examples of "sensitive dependency on initial conditions" as changing one thing can cause a cascade of effects on the gun. But I do think you are correct that some sub guns could use a slightly stiffer spring, and some old sub guns could have out of spec springs due to age, which leads to poor shooting characteristics.

@@aussiebloke609 Most of these old submachinegun designs have plenty of overtravel. It doesn't have to cut it that close. And they aren't using them in combat now, they're just shooting them on the range. So they don't have to worry about extreme conditions.

Agreed

It's like a classic car. Timeless and cool no matter what era.

Brother prepare yourself for armenian genocide comments

@darkplace28 except for the fact that the Stormtroopers are going to be behind the trench by the time the artillery gets word of their position

@@andrewmoore7022 Only half the time. For example, the German spring (operation Michael) offensive only broke through in the southern half of the line, though the main effort was to the North. In the south thick fog helped the stormtroopers with their infiltration tactics, but in the north where there was no fog the Stormtroops were butchered. Something like 40,000 Stormtroopers fell on March 21st, so many evidentially didn't get behind the trenches. Then you have Operation Mars on March 28th where the stormtroopers failed to break through anywhere and the operation was shut down the next day. In reality the stormtroopers had mixed success, which is why the Germans failed to win the war in 1918.

'All because some cad, who cannot remain nameless, murdered & ate Speckled Jim . . . Murderer!'

I get that bringbacks are cool guns that you would probably not have been able to see otherwise, but having less worldwars to bring guns back from is a great thing in my opinion. Or do you mean that we know the guns everyone is using nowadays so it's not cool anymore?

@@thijsvandervoort8261 He means that you can't bring guns back at all.

What would they bring back thats worth having?

@@mlpeacecraft339 decent type 56 maybe...idk or a rare sks or something like that

@@mlpeacecraft339 might even still have ww2 guns in some war zones, there is definitely plenty to bring back

WERTARBEIT, even. ;)

Considering that the snail drum was designed to fit a standard Luger mag well, I don't see why not. But an 8 round mag In full auto would be allot of reloading

Are you implying *other games* are realistic?? FPS games in particular... At least they're historically accurate. In the first Indiana Jones movie the Germans have MP40's in 1936, have bazookas (the American model no less) and use American Deuce-and-a-half trucks first produced in 1942. Not to mention that there is an Afrika Korps in Egypt in 1936 when the British controlled Egypt at that time and there no Afrika Korps in the German army until 1941. Hollywood movies are increasingly "light" (that's putting it mildly) on realism and in games no normal rules ever apply. In a game in which you re-spawn endlessly your biggest complaint is going to be whether a smg was as common(!) as it is in a game(!!).
