Germany's WW1 "Kurz" Model Tankgewehr 

ääähm- was ist los, Doktor?

You win the internet for today!

Musik in meinen Ohren

@@davetheelasticgoose4838 You took wrong turn at Cambrai.

😂😂😂🤣

probably took the extra metal they had from the barrel shortening and made the bipods out of it

you could hang 50,000lbs on each of those legs, the nut&bolt on a ball hitch is not even that thick *edit* oh tubular.. maybe not

You know that the rifle weighs 35lbs empty, right?

@@ScottKenny1978 what's that in not-american?

@@Wolvenworks 15.9kg empty, 18.5kg loaded (edit: and with bipod attached)

Technically, they’re all limited edition now.

Special edition one per customer pre order. Only delivers in Germany. Cannot be resold on the sellers market. No Scalpers. Also includes cleaning kit and Mauser mascot.

Or passing Amazons!

Silent assasin

Kurds: I'll take your entire stock!

I mean, the M82 CQB exists.

Or, *Fully-Autonomous Trash Bins…* (Which, while fictional, are not much easier to deal with compared to WW1 tanks)

“Short” is a relative term

@@KPen3750 ya know, I say that exact phrase all the time but your mom never seems to agree

@@Ezekiel_Allium lmao

@@Ezekiel_Allium Well. Reality isn't a consensus..

"Aren't you a bit short for a Stoßtruppe?"

I miss the times when bf1 was new

MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE!

This and the infiltrator were the most fun. Truly an elite class.

@@Kikker861 agreed

Fucking elite kit campers man

2 shots only, one per shoulder

Robert Rodriguez cut the stock off aswell

Add a fin grip so they can't even get a proper hold of the thing

may as well make it some high-low system

Id run it

Hold me weisswurst sausage

Probably made some poor guys shoulder/life hurt

And its presence would hurt your ears. 😉

TBF, the whole concept of a 'muzzle brake' wouldn't be a thing for another 30+ years... ...but, true to form (IIRC), the Germans would think of it first.

Especially with a bayonet on the end

Wait, you didnt get the obrez model? Or even the bulpup one? Those are way shorter, and the obrez is quite effective on trenches ive heard

@@WingMaster562 Ah, the flash bang of the great war.

13mm shorty

13mm midget

!3mm short therefore looks a fatty.

Daniel D'alessandro considering you could probably work out using one of these asa weight that would be impressive

@@jmjedi923 I'm not opposed to it. Gyms are closed due to a lock down so I'm willing to use anything at this point lol

@@jmjedi923 Good point. If it's exercise equipment I should call my health insurance company and see if they'll let me use HSA funds to buy a Tankgewehr!

@@jmjedi923 I am recalling the c&arsenal video and have the comical image of Ian flying backwards after firing both at once.

How to instantly dislocated both of your shoulders at once

Mae has already done this with a standard model. Her shoulder has recovered by this time.

Well yea, 2A friendly people gotta stick together.

@@bigredwolf6 "2A" and "Friendly" don't always go well...

Warm inside? What are ya? Gay?

And considering Ian has been a part of the C&Rsenal crew. It makes sense.

Imagine if this was an Obrez.

For best results, tape a sandbag onto your shoulder to maybe absorb some recoil

That's not a word. O.o

Each man was expected to fire it twice and tthen on to the next man.

"Schulterbrecher" would be a real German word by the way.

They probably get they it’s not right they were just making a joke.

kurz always means short

@@creepyendy Haha not in this case Creep

@@creepyendy It also means some guy whose way too into poetry played by Marlon Brando

I would’ve called it the kürzer

You really thought you would see a soldier casually shooting a big gun like that?

@@mirage7487 No I thought it was a video on a standard size infantry rifle. A glimpse of the thumbnail doesn't really give scale.

Gotta upvote an Army of Darkness reference.

Probably has some kind of interlocking dove tail like cut that was glued.

@@curiousentertainment3008 Or pegs? But yeah too simple...too simple.

It uses intersecting hollow mono-helical screws to bind them. The screws have to be driven simultaneously to engage each other. /s

They keep using that word. I don't think it means what they think it means.

Prepare to be surprised by the Maus tank, then.

I think they put shortened guns on pocket battleships. For concealed carry, of course.

@@TammoKorsai The Maus is considerably smaller than the Ratte. So there is no surpise to be prepared for.

@@maxlutz3674 why does it being smaller than the Ratte mean it couldn't be surprising?

"So, explain again how you got hospitalized from being stabbed with a striker." "Well, you see, I was sneaking up on this kraut cleaning his rifle. I thought the size of the rifle was an optical illusion until I got real close and he lunged at me with the striker."

@@andrewsuryali8540 : Heh :-)

Did your school get cancelled?(mine did)

I was actually able to sleep in for once, and I still woke up early enough to catch a lesson from Gun Jesus

i still haven't gone to sleep. U.S CST

You sir are the laird of forgotten weapons! If I had one it would be yours. Via loch post.

You kinda look like discount santa claus

@@J0man1 you, Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

@@banan4990 nope. Father Christmas. Yes, I actually do 'Father Christmas' for a couple of churches. Although, to one particularly annoying jerk, I told him I was a Born Again French Lumberjack. I expect he's *still* scratching his head over that one.

Small Tank Gun

Arrow of Tank Slaying

@@dirrt5011 Short tank rifle. „Small tank gun“ would be „kleines Panzer Gewehr/Waffe“

"I cast horse explosion!"

Duncan fucking Fisher

To be fair, even when they found ways to counter it they were definitely still freaked out.

@@thetrippedup9322 How do you know? Are there tons of letters written by German soldiers telling their loved ones that they are freaked out over giant shoe boxes rolling around on the battlefield?

@@TrangleC No, but here I'm purely going off of the idea of me being a human, and how I would react in 1917 if a massive shoebox with guns started rolling across the muddy field, filled with dead that separates me from my enemy. I suppose I am rather entrenched in the classic narrative, though. It is the only perspective I've seen on tanks in world war one. What's the book or talk you got this information from? Even if it isn't specifically about this subject, it'd still be interesting

@@thetrippedup9322 As I mentioned, the recent "PAK" video from the British Tank Museum talks about the beginnings of anti tank gunnery. Unfortunately RU-vid doesn't allow me to put links in comments, but you should have no problem finding it, when looking for the RU-vid channel of the British Tank Museum. The channel is simply called: "The Tank Museum" I gave up on extrapolating from my own perspective on what those people back then were feeling and thinking when I actually did look into it more deeply and did read some letters. They were nuts. German soldiers were really pissed when the war ended. Not a sign of relief to be found with the vast majority of them. They were pretty much like the Japanese at the end of WW2. Super angry over "being stabbed in the back" by politicians and robbed of their shot at true glory. They also were pretty sure the tides had changed in their favor and they would win the war, which isn't actually all that crazy when you consider that their "Sturmtruppen" tactics really did work and they were on the advance at many fronts when Germany surrendered. I recommend you read (or listen to the audio book) "The Storm of Steel" by Ernst Junger. A very interesting account from the German perspective and full of dry upper crust humor of the kind you would expect from a British officer of the time, but which was pretty common on the German side too. The book is full of passages like: "Hans was a great lad. Unfortunately one day when we stormed a trench, he went one way and his face went another way. Shame, really. He was popular with the French girls and they often brought us wine and delicious food on his behalf." You know, this kind of stuff.

@@TrangleC I wouldnt be too sure about that, you can find plenty of testimony from confederate bitter enders trying to organise in Mexico, convinced after a bit of reorganisation they can restart the war and achieve victory. Theyd still lost the war. The Germans are the same, theres units still organised with high(ish) morale but theres a lot more who've collapsed, given up and surrendered or just hanging round in depots refusing to go back to the front. The fleet is in mutiny, the General staff has collapsed, the economy has vanished into the history books and the population is eating acorn coffee and sawdust bread. The Sturmtruppen had failed and everyone knew it, theyd taken the best of the troops in the east, the best weapons they could get by stripping their second and third tier troops of equipment and hurled them at the allied lines and been slaughtered by second tier units. When the British first tier units mounted an offensive the whole army collapsed. Most of that stab in the back myth comes weeks after the surrender when the survivors have had a chance to sleep, eat, reconstitute their unit discipline and the men who had deserted internally rejoin their units making up the numbers so units are getting back up to strength. Its these rebuilt units marching under discipline back into Germany to see the civil war and starvation that starts to create the myth of a functioning military stabbed in the back.

*Big tiddied police girl has entered the chat*

I think you were trying to say "squirrel atomization" but autocorrect got you
