My key question for Mae: Why is it that she's smiling when she's shooting rifles, but not when shooting pistols?

@erichvondonitz5325 2 года назад

pistols are inferior and doesnt hold the power than the rifle

@josephthomas8318 2 года назад

Bolt action military rifles are the most fun one fan have with a firearm. Working the action, the recoil, the sound and smell. These old rifles are an absolute blast to shoot. Literally

@jamesoverholt878 8 месяцев назад

I'm guessing because of the weight and the way the barrel was moving when she pulled the trigger, she bounced her shot off the ground 6 ft in front of her target. That would cause a wry smile from me. 🙃

Yay, Othais and Mae are back with more guns! Looking forward to seeing Britain, I've always loved the Enfield rifles, and as a Canadian, I'd love to see the Ross rifle as well. Please tell me you guys have access to some "classic" machine guns as well as the rifles, I'd love to see a breakdown of the Vickers and MG08, and I'd bet Mae wouldn't mind squeezing off a few rounds with either. :)

@edwardleachman7131 8 лет назад

I like her shooting smile. :-)

@Accostrophe 8 лет назад

+Edward Leachman Those rifles were throwing her around like crazy. She's still in that phase of shooting where she's like almost scared of the gun. She's not very deliberate or forceful with reloading or shooting, so she comes off rather clumsy and slow. It comes with experience, but it would have been nice to see someone who is really experienced with the mauser to show us how its done.

@edwardleachman7131 8 лет назад

+Accostrophe I enjoyed the video and do not complain about her skills and abilities. She did better than I would, and maybe not as good as you, but I leave it at that.

@Candrsenal 8 лет назад

+Accostrophe Mae has plenty of hours behind the bolt. She just doesn't have the upper body strength to reliably cycle EVERY old action so we settled on getting a standard shot of the ejection across all guns (except straight pulls) to standardize our setup. The 88's especially were binding on loading so she's applying roughly 30 lbs of force on those suckers as it is.

@Accostrophe 8 лет назад

+C&Rsenal Makes sense, forgive my criticisms then. I meant nothing mean by it, Mae looks to be a fine shooter. I know how much force it takes to load those things as I have a few 88's myself, not to mention it's a pretty stout cartridge. I just usually see that kind of reaction with newer shooters, or ones who aren't super comfortable around those big bore rifles, I just sometimes forget that not everyone has the upper body strength it takes to man-handle those things. It does take A LOT of times to get used to them, hell it took me at least a few years before I could properly handle big rifles like that. I love your videos and do enjoy watching Mae shoot. Keep up the great work.

@maewinchester2030 8 лет назад

+Accostrophe Fair enough, I'm still not satisfied with my performance either. My shooting skills have improved but I agree with Othais. My upper body strength is still lacking and I do plan on addressing this immediately.

@henerymag 8 лет назад

Mauser designed his 98 rifle to withstand a pressure of 100,000 lbs psi The bolt design is still used today on the more exspensive and powerfull rifles. Very accurate, but as with all German designs was built with very close fitting parts, which unlike the 10 rd Lee Enfields did not need much dirt and mud to jam it. It's cock on opening and long bolt made it's rate of fire also slower. It made a wonderful sniper rifle though.

@MrBigCookieCrumble 8 лет назад

So cool! History come alive, very interesting and it helps you visualise how the soldiers lived (and died :c) and the problems they faced. I'd love to see more of these!

The 98 Action and the 3rd "safety" lug was added to the read of the bolt. Seldom needed but if the bore was obstructed it may well save you from having the bolt come back and strike your face. My personal collection includes "commission 88/14" rifle is one of the Turkish. There is a debate between shooters of the commission rifles here in the US as to using full power 7.92x57 IS < the I means Infantry and the S means Spitzer >ammunition as the bore of the 88 was nominal diameter .318inch and the 98 .323inch. Due to this many american ammunition makers use a .320inch bullet for the 8mm Mauser. Hand loaders will often use a cast lead bullet as seen in the video (often .321inch) at a lower pressure. Indy since you are in Sweden it might interest you that the Mauser company designed the primary rifle for Sweden as well ,the Model of 1894 Carbine and Model 1896 Rifle. They were produced by Mauser as well as Carl Gustafs and Husqvarna Vapenfabriks they are excellent rifles. My "match" rifle is a 1914 production M-1896 with fully adjustable rear sight. 1896 and 1894 are chambered in the 6.5x55 cartridge and is still a popular round for hunting in Europe and to a lesser extent in the United States to this day.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Mauser I am really enjoying the series.

Very nicely done. My two favorite channels collaborating. A couple of very rudimentary things that stand out here. First, before I say anything more, I understand this video is old so, no, I am not going to talk about the quality of the video feed. However, Indy, you called Othais’s channel C Arsenal. It’s actually C&Rsenal. And Othais, the Gevar is the Swedish pronunciation of the Mauser Gewehr 88 & 98. Sorry to be petty but I noticed both of these things so I just figured I would Point it out rather than gravel all day and every day about how great these two channels are. Even though they are.

@mickeydee3595 7 лет назад

I have a Erfurt 1917 Kar98az. It is a truly amazing rifle! Mine has a unit disc that is now illegible however I was told that they were never issued with one. Only with the hole through the stock to allow for disassembly of the bolt. I was told mine was slapped on later by somebody who didnt know any better and plugged up the hole. Makes sense because it was also modified to take a Lee enfield butt plate which I am not very happy about and on the the hunt for the plate that belongs to the rifle. Its a shame that its the only part that does not match, everything else is numbered and matched right down to the firing pin. Love your shows, keep them coming! Being that I have Portuguese descendants and heritage, could you please do an episode on Portuguese involvement and battles of the first world war :) Thank-you!

+C&Rsenal Yeah, most Enfield rifles look like they have been dragged through the muck and trenches of 2 world wars...oh wait they have! The Enfield seems to have been one of the favorite victims of DIY/Bubba gunsmith projects.

@Candrsenal 8 лет назад

commissarpistols mostly it's that we're holding for a proper Mk III with the volleys and cut off intact. So many were upgraded in WWII and those parts lost. Plus an MLM and Mk I *** would be cool

@BigPuddin 4 года назад

Military minds just before WW1: "Future conflicts will occur with infantrymen firing at one another from obscenely long distances, so rifles needs to be incredibly powerful and accurate." WW1: "Nah."

@edwinflores1697 8 лет назад

First off I just love your series and how big a commitment you guys are taking of going by WWI week by week! Secondly I'm wondering if the military academies tossed away most of the old pre-WWI military strategies tactics after they've been proven to be super costly in both time and men?

@Ksgamer103 8 лет назад

@sergeantbigmac 8 лет назад

The trick when using Gunbroker is look over listings that have ended, or at least remember that most bidding happens in the last hour of an auction. People that use Gunbroker for prices sometimes just scan current auctions, which means theyre always going to see lower prices than what most will actually sell for...

Did they made rifles for left handed people? ( bolt handle on the left side)

@austoful 7 лет назад

Jerome Villaflor if you were left handed you would probably keep it a secret as it was considered a negative trait.

@blubber608 7 лет назад

Jerome Villaflor a lot of the Time lefties can run the bolt quicker as they don have to remove their firing hand

@allenwilliams1306 6 лет назад

You would have to commission a gunsmith to make or adapt a left-handed weapon for you. In WW1, British officers purchased their own personal weapons, but the cost was normally a bit high for other ranks. I think, for trench warfare, a sawn-off shotgun would have been the most useful firearm to have! Perhaps some other ranks from bank-robbing backgrounds did so equip themselves. Had I been their officer, I would not have prevented it, I would have asked if they could get me one! However, although you might be left-handed, you might not be left-eyed. If this is the case, you may get better results shooting in the same way as a right-handed person. As a left-hander, if likely to need to fire prone, you would always be placed on the right of the unit: your legs would stick out the wrong way.

@michaelt.5672 8 лет назад

+Michael Black Compare it to muzzle loaders (or even single cartrage guns)and these things are rapid fire guns.

@corto4027 8 лет назад

+Michael Black Actually, no, these are much quicker to load than modern guns are. You only have to load 5 cartridges (10 when it comes to the Enfield), into the magazine. Not 30+ like an AK or M4/16 variant. And chambering and cartridge, and firing can be even quicker, since there's one less step in motions you have to do with your hand, than an AK or M4/M16.

@Regolith86 8 лет назад

+The Devil They're only "faster" to reload if you're using loose ammunition to load the box magazine, empty it, then reload it again using loose ammunition. Generally speaking, for a battle load out soldiers usually have 10 or so pre-loaded magazines on hand and aren't spending their time in the middle of a firefight reloading empty mags. And it's quicker to use a pre-loaded box mag than a stripper clip. Also, you can load box magazines using stripper clips, or stripper clip-like tools.

@franzlimit 8 лет назад

Mauser weapons are still one of the main hunting rifles in Austria besides Steyr weapons. Sometimes even such historical ones like those in the videos. They kind of had to use every kind of weapon after WW II since most of them got confiscated by the allies. So those kind of hunting rifles are still mostly used out of tradition. (new designs mostly look very similar to the old war weapons, besides carvings to make them a bit more beautiful)

@TheGreatWar 8 лет назад

+franzlimit Aren't there also new editions of the old rifles? Read something about an anniversary edition of the Gewehr98 for example.

@franzlimit 8 лет назад

Yes that's right, such rifles are quite popular for hunters here.

@jayray7230 7 лет назад

why no british pistol or rifle episodes?

@TheGreatWar 7 лет назад

Othais has to gather the corresponding weapons first.

@jayray7230 7 лет назад

lee enfield mkIII 303, p14 rifle, ross rifle (canada), lee metford, martini enfield, webley revolver - all of these are more available than obscure austro hungarian or french weapoins

@TheGreatWar 7 лет назад

Jay Ray Finding them in WW1 condition (not refitted for later service) is actually quite a challenge. And you need to remember that he needs them all at the same time for filming and doesn't want to go bankrupt in the process. So have some mercy with us, there will be an episode in the future. Besides, if you are interested in the ross rifle, Othais covered that extensively on his channel. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2uGYSQ_-FJU.html

@jayray7230 7 лет назад

The Great War thank you for your reply. i look forward to that episode. that being said, i still do not believe that collecting british weapons, ww1 condition or not, is harder than collecting the weapons of the other major powers. lee enfield 303. webley revolver. p14. I live in a rural town in Australia. we have very tight gun laws, yet i have seen all these guns on the range. othais has pistols that were from a production of less than 1000. the dude can but a 303, webley and p14 for less than $2000, but i can see from his videos he already has a lee enfield and p14 on his wall. a webley would not be that hard to get.

@ajjdgj6tmgedvnmtmek 7 лет назад

The real problem is that Britain effectively destroyed most of their WW1-era Enfields and Webleys during WW2 by retrofitting them for continued service. Both of those weapons were used through to the 1950s. (Heck, you can still find "new" ones being made today for active service in some parts of the world, notably former colonies.) Unmodified early models can be hard to find and are sometimes necessary to show "features" that were replaced later. Also, remember that you're in Australia, which used Webleys and Enfields for years. Here in America, it's much easier to find Colts and Garands. It's the same reason M16-style and AK47-style rifles are common in different parts of the world.

I understand that C&Rsenal are trying to organize getting in touch and film with a collector of WW1 era machine-guns and that's proving quite expensive and difficult, but I look forward to it! My only request is that these videos be a bit more of a to-and-fro between Indy & Flo and Lothias and May. I don't know how much of a Q&A it can realistically be, but I enjoyed the episode about French pistols and watching Indy and Flo's reaction to the ridiculousness of problems involved.

@patriciastauffer3278 8 лет назад

I've had 3 Gewehr 88 rifles (AKA 88 Commission Rifles), all of them were set up to take the Mauser type stripper clip. I believe this was a post WW1 mod, but am not sure. Some were re-bored to the 7.9mm"S" and others were re-chambered but not re-bored to the "S" diameter bullet. Apparently the bullet architecture was designed to pass through the smaller bore with out raising pressures enough to destroy the weapon.

+Ben Hanson If it is an 88/05 shouldn't be too hard. Original 88's require special ammo depending on the barrel markings.
