This is great because it shows how iron sights of this type work, which is what a lot of video games get EXREMELY wrong. When sighted in, the circle gets "wider" or even almost disappears due to effect of your vision, giving you very clear and easy to use sight picture. While in games they usually completely ignore this effect and make these sights completely block out your view, making them horrid to use... and making weapons with open sights easier to use, while in real life they're actually way worse. So it's good to have these videos to show people who don't shoot IRL, to visualise to them how this type of sights *actually* works.
@@rj4590 Believe me we all do, but sometimes guys from non-gun countries are genuinely wanting to learn more and all they can count on is books, video games and movies. When they want to know more instead of pretending they already know, it's good to have something to help them understand things
@@czwarty7878 Yes I understand,but I always recommend good books on the subject first so you can separate all the legitimate information from the garbage on the internet,movies and video games.Still there are those who don’t like to pick up books and read.And by the way,I’m referring to those who show up at the range with firearms.
It is very interesting that Korean is written in the ammunition pocket It was probably used in the Korean army a long time ago It says ‘구경 .30칼빈 보통탄 KM1 10발 클립’ Means ‘calliber .30 carbine ball ammunation KM1 10round clip
Lot's of US M1 Carbines went to South Korea but returned in a lend/lease. I believe some have been available through the CMP. The ammo is probably a part of that.
한국이 예비군용 무기에서 저 M1(M2)칼빈을 완전 도태후 보관중이던 30구경칼빈탄환을 대량으로 미국에 헐값으로 판매를 하였죠... 미국 현지에선 저 30구경 칼빈탄환의 수요가 그리없고 희소성때문에 다른 탄약보단 다소비싸다고 하는데 많은 매니아들이 저렴하지만 우수한 품질의 한국산탄환을 구입할수 있어 매우 만족해 하고 있다고 하며 한국내에서 도태 폐기되는 수만정의 M1개런드 M1.2칼빈소총의 상당수가 수리부속용도와 중고품으로 미국으로 수출되었다고 합니다.
@@user-ol8ii3fg1p M1개런드와 M1.2칼빈이 6.25전과 중.후에 도합 약 150만정이 무상공여되었고 1970년대 초반에 한국 국가조병창(현SNT)에서 복제카피한 국산 M1개런드.M1.2칼빈을 제작해서 향토예비군 무장에 쓰여지기도 하였으나 당시 한국내 부산기장 조병창부지내 M16A1공장이 세워지면서 더이상 구형의 M1.개런드와 M1.2칼빈을 생산하지 않게되었죠... 당시 국산M1개런드 소총은 기존의 8발클립 장전식이 아닌 20발 박스형 탄창결합식이 있었으며 총열에 양각대를 설치하여 경기관총으로도 사용하려 시도를 하였던 적이 있었습니다.
OMG That ammo & bandolier is a surplus from Korean War Manufactured by Poong-San Metalworks, I am Korean and instantly recognized that bandolier had Korean markings on it Love your contents btw
내가 예비군 훈련장에서 사용하던 총이네. 작고 정확하고 다루기 편했지. 하지만 ,내가 사격하는 중에 상판 덮게가 날아가는 일이 있었지. 나에게 배부된 총은 40년 정도 된 총으로 보관 상태가 좋지 않았어. 그래도 정말 소장하고 싶은 총이었어 // It's the gun I used at the reserve army training ground. It was small, accurate and easy to handle. However, while I was shooting, the top cover flew off. The gun distributed to me was about 40 years old and was in poor storage condition. Still, it was a gun I really wanted to own.
@@yarosslavv nope. letters written on ammunition pocket is Korean. I'd ever shot the gun in Republic of Korean army reserve force training session. Currently soldiers in active duty use K2 assault rifle series, but years ago, Reserve forces got the carbin during 1~3 days short traininig session. I even saw the rifle made by IBM
@@bigbake132 yeah ok mate i got it, it was my bad , beside that don't you see 2 other replies there I think it's enough answers to make me learn more about what I wrote
I love this weapon system. As far as I know it's been in service for ww2, Korea, and Vietnam but I sure wouldn't be surprised to see it applied in modern combat honestly.

Man, I’d love to have one of these. My grandpa talks about how common they were right after the war - you could have one mailed to you for five bucks. Everyone seemed to have one.
My grandpa served in vietnam from 1966 to 1969. He told me and my dad a few stories, but refused to talk about anything besides what he offered to tell us. He said Charlie used to build these false tunnels that were made to look real but were basically very short tunnels with mines inside. So whoever went in would trip the mines and cause a cave in. He said his unit lost a guy that way so after that they just blew the entrances whenever they found one.
I bought one several years ago off the "gunsmith special" rack at a local gun and pawn shop. It was on the rack because they thought something internal was broken and had the action locked up. I looked at it and immediately recognized that it had been taken apart and incorrectly reassembled. Took a flat head screwdriver and five minutes to fix. Winchester 5xxx,xxx serial receiver.
I have one of these myself. It’s an Inland dated May of 1943. Unfortunately it’s one of those imported ones so it’s not as valuable, but it was imported out of South Korea which I personally find neat as it’s possible that it saw action in a couple wars. It’s a fun little toy. The bolt broke on me at one point and I had to get a new one, but it’s a fun piece of history
Sooooo crazy! I was watching all of your videos last week and wondering if you were going to shoot this one. Hey thanks for getting all the right angles of the loading, preparations, and shooting on your channel. I look forward to everything you post. Much love from Alaska!
Percussion faulty. Pull the trigger hard, but the biggest problem is pulling the trigger, letting go of the finger, This causes the bullet to pop to the left or right
That’s cool. Nice M1 and shooting. Appreciate you ADS for us viewers. My Grandpa on Dad’s side told me stories of what he did in Korean War. He was on frontlines firing this M1. I can’t believe my grandpa survived being on frontlines and coming home to us.
@@The_War_Pug AR means armalite rifle, not assault rifle. Also the MKB42 and STG44 came first, those were the first to Assault rifles (Since they had select fire). The M2 came in response to the MKB42 and STG44
@@GonzoPrice If you're talking about the first "Armalite Rifle", then it was not the AR of the day, since AR didn't exist. Ridiculous statement if you're that discerning.
I used google translator many M1 rifles in storage in Korea. So, I read an article about 10 years ago that they wanted to resell it to the US civilian market. I remember my dad using an M1 carbine. (Reservists, maybe 1995?) My cousin, old brother used the M16A1 rifle and I used a K-1 rifle. It has now been replaced by the K-2C1 rifle.
Una maravilla esta pequeña,la usé mucho y es muy cómoda y fiable,cuando dispara el retroceso es casi nada y el ruido es muchísimo menor que el de un fusil normal.
M1Carbines are so cool you can’t help watching these videos. I remember not having my first AR-15. My M1 carbine was my go to fun gun to blast and shoot. It still is.
0:04 that korean script meaning caliber 30 carbine universial ammo KM1 10 rounds clip Lot No. Poongsandong 85 Ma 110-055 that stuff was definitely south korean army auxiliary supply
A great friend of mine passed away a couple of years ago and he left one of these to me. I haven't shot it yet but as soon as I'm feeling better, I will take it to the range.
@@yarosslavv Normally we dont like being called Chinies. Korean and Chines are very different. Language and culture is very different each other. I dont think you are Russian just cuz of you use Cyrillc word. You could be Mongolians, Bulgarians, Ukrainians, Serbians or others.
In 1964 I could have bought these for about $20 and Garands for $30-$35. If I knew then what I know know...there was a gun shop in SF on 3rd St. I used to go in there on my lunch hour a couple of evenings a week. They had loafs of them. I almost bought a brit Enfield .303 for $15, but went for a flintlock rifle instead...it just looked cooler to my 18 yr old Last of the Mohicans loving self, lol
Wow, it's fun to reminisce about the old days when gun laws were reasonable and there were gun shops around. The gun shop you refer to in SF was the San Francisco Gun Exchange. It was located at Mission and 2nd Sts. Went out of business about twenty years ago. I was so sorry to see it go. SF politicians are not friendly towards the gun business. The gun shop out at 44th Ave. and Judah St. moved up to Santa Rosa years ago. The last shop in SF, Bob Chow's at 29th and Mission, got forced out of business a few years ago. The progressive politicians imposed onerous and expensive requirements on them and they just had to quit. No gun shops in SF now. ☹️
The M1 Carbine was designed primarily to offer noncombat and line-of-communications troops a better defensive weapon than a pistol or submachine gun, with greater accuracy and range, but without the recoil, cost, or weight of a full-power infantry rifle.
I used to shot with this during my service, just for consuming bullet rounds😂 Comparing my primary weapon K2, it was pretty shorter than my thought and suprisingly light. Very good gun indeed.
@@yarosslavv AR 15 is a good gun too. Little heavier and longer than my primary weapon but always hit where I wanted. I guess the heroes in your country would agree. Glory to heroes🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
