@@i_willstealurloot273 well he was German but I don’t think he ever was at Stalingrad. To be honest I don’t know what battles he was in and now he’s dead so I can’t ask him.
@@jab2043 A stereotype that did happen, Order 227 made it clear : "no man steps back", due to the desperate situation of Stalingrad, this order was literally taken, and sometimes you were shot for making a step back
@MasterGalahad: So, I guess that Clint Eastwood would have needed about 800 magazines to kill as many Germans as he did in the film "Where Eagles Dare."
My great grandad picked up one of these during the war, he said it was the best gun he'd ever used, it was taken from him when he was on parade. Its one of the reasons I like this gun.
@UserName Whatever of course, but the problem isn’t really just its caliber, the Thompson feels like it hits harder than a PPSH-41 which fires a 7.62x25mm, it was more on par to me with an AK than other SMGs I’ve used. Though the PPSH and Thompson both enjoy climbing.
This would no doubt have sent shivers down my dad's spine. 101st Airborne parachuted on D Day. He didn't talk much of the war of which he volunteered at the age of 16 1/2 a few months shy of 17, told them he was 18. This was the German gun of choice for shooting at paratroopers as they descended. God bless you Dad. He died before seeing his 65th birthday, way too soon but had he not made it out of WWII me and my 4 siblings wouldn't be here today.
The recoil spring is housed in a telescoping recoil unit, and a device that doubles as a gas shock absorber (air buffer) when the bolt retracts and a dust/mudproof cover has been added. In addition to successfully suppressing the rate of fire to a minute, it was also effective in protecting the recoil spring from rust. The shooting mode is full auto (continuous) only, semi-auto (single shot) is not set.
Video games are played for hours and gun sounds are specifically made not to be painful to your ears. Unlike IRL, a gun is the loudest thing you'll hear probably ever @ approx 160 decibels. It is painful and very annoying. There's a bigger trend towards making painless gun sounds in recent times. Some old game guns sound like they'd shake your house down.
It's an every man's dream to shot every single gun from ww2, but mostly the most iconic one's which one of them is obviously the Machinenpistole40 (idk if i got it correctly)
@@abigcoI uhhh the MP40 is all metal with forward hand grip to keep the barrel on target and control recoil. The 9mm ammo only needs to hit hard enough to kill. The Navy Seals use the HK MP5 which uses the 9mm “pistol ammo”. Nobody ever said the Navy Seals don’t have enough fire power. For the intended mission the 9mm MP40 and MP5 were perfect.
The specific sound of an enemy's (superior) weapon. Resistance groups loved re-deploying them but of course you risked your life as a soldier using them as an opposing force.
Yo excellent weapon renders and model, the camera seems a little jumpy and the sound design is a little choppy and gritty but those graphics man, honestly cant wait for the release
Love how steady it is when on full auto . Imagine bursting into a room with a two man breaching team and both unloading you wouldn’t have much chance .
What a beautiful sound! As fast as the MP40 goes through ammo, could you imagine the weight? When I go to the range, my ammo bag is a bit much to carry from the car. I could just imagine hiking through the woods with as much ammo as you could carry? After all, there are no sporting goods store you could stop at and pick up a few boxes. In WWII my uncle was a BAR man. He was about 5'8". The weight of that monster had to have been something. And that was a full auto .30-06.
From what I heard from this guy who served in the military as a small arms repairman, the BAR A2, I believe was the variant he said, weighed about 15 pounds and that was cause it had a tripod that was part of the gun, so yeah. Imagine lugging that thing around with you, can't have been fun.
You see these in every WWII movie ever made, and it's cool to hear what it really sounds like, instead of whatever the Foley people think it should sound like.
It sound different from what you hear here as well. The gunshots sound passes the threshold of what the cameras microphone can handle. But it's also close as you can get. Im sure in person its alot more "boomy" and ofcourse louder.
later confrontations with Soviet troops such as the Battle of Stalingrad, where entire enemy units were armed with PPSh-41 submachine guns, the Germans found themselves out-gunned in short range urban combat which caused a shift in their tactics, and by the end of the war the MP 40 and its derivatives were sometimes issued to entire assault platoons. Starting in 1943, the German military moved to replace both the Karabiner 98k rifle and MP 40 with the new, revolutionary StG 44. By the end of World War II in 1945, an estimated 1.1 million MP 40s had been produced of all variants.
El MP40 (Maschinenpistole 40) fue un subfusil muy popular entre las tropas de la Alemania nazi durante la segunda guerra mundial.3 Diseñado por Heinrich Vollmer, con el fin de dotar a los soldados de un arma de asalto, principalmente a las unidades de infantería mecanizada y paracaidistas, se fabricó hasta el final del conflicto. Este subfusil destacaba en el combate a corta distancia pero era menos efectivo a campo abierto por su escaso alcance. Ésta fue una de las razones que motivaron el diseño del Stg-44, el predecesor de los modernos fusiles de asalto.
You all got to do something I have wanted to do for over 45 years. I know I never will, so I thank you for sharing this video with us. It is the closest I ever will get to fire one. Thanks again.
@@josipmusura9077 There are none in my state, or any state bordering mine. I would have to go quite far, and that is not possible at the moment (if it ever will be again).
