MAS 38 at the Range - Finally! 

Holy crap you’re spot on

Get ready for the reddit posts

Aaaaand he's famous on Reddit now.

@@Alihassan9193 thanks to me

@@bananasoup297 fucking awesome lmao

Well, if the area means the world

I bet there's lots of hot singles in his area. There always seems to be lots of them around me. So many, in fact, that they buy ads on web pages, telling me they're available and interested.

while chuffin' a fat dart

@@zendell37 he's in Arizona, everyone is hot there

Hahaha! 10/10. Ian is low key stealing all the girls.

And Gun Jesus spake saying, "for those who love 5.56 shall lose it, and likewise for 9mm; but whosoever uses the French Long with me, he shall retain constant supply."

Because only gun Jesus has the will to own one of this obscure French things that look like they have been bent...

@@Ealsante Highly quotable!

@@Ealsante AHh good thanks for the lulz

@@Ealsante Four Ian's of the apocalypse

I love seeing Ian happy.

It's a good day.

Happy to see Ian so happy too.

Machine gun compersion 😀

Nope I’m pissed to see him happy, it’s not right he gets to have that big cheesy grin and if I shoot a plastic BB gun outside I run the possibility of being shot and killed by armed response or go to jail for brandishing a plastic pellet gun

Gun Jesus can multiply bullets.

@@Viguier89 He can turn 9mm into .38 French long

He sounded like Po from kung-fu panda when he found the extra mag.

Hoah!

Ha! My fav comment.

Cool comment, and I'm French!!

Also, Frenchmen have high cheekbones.

😂👍Ian should have had a Gauloises hanging out of his mouth for this vid.

Gaulloise or Gitane?

You do know ian is like, 6'5" or so

Ian towers over Karl when they stand next to each other, I would put him at a healthy 180-190 build. Actually really close to the lean build previously preferred by the military.

With the magazine out, it almost looks like a pistol that's had a long barrel and shoulder stock fitted, doesn't it?

@@Kellanium ... Really.. Had no idea.

@@paspax Ian himself has said he’s 5’,10”

Instead of Wild Dog, we get Wild God.

Amm shortage?

LordVader1094 ammo shortage, yes. Where have you been?

Personally made an effort to stock up ammo over time. Now I got boxes of .45 ACP everywhere.

There are actually a lot of these guns out there, ive had 3 of them myself and know of at least 20 others. No one really shoots them though.

I'm sure there's a lot of Pedersen device ammo he could use instead . Practically the same round!

Also Ian,... no acknowledgement of the gunsmith by name.

@@hdtvcamera1 could've sworn he said at the beginning

@@chrislawson3418 Nope. Mentions ammo supplier not gunsmith. Probably an oversight due to extreme excitement.

Another name for military surplus I guess, plus if it’s from the 1930’s or 40’s like he often matches his attire with the time period then the only way to get it new would be a time machine (and currently all of those are being rented out to buy 9mm)

@@jakegarrett8109 Where, how, and current price to get on the standby list for one of the time machines. I am down to 2,000 rounds from nominal stock of 8,000.

he's a prince amongst men ;)

​@@stevecolley6750 Haha, it may be a while, those things are in such high demand from everything happening in 2020. We'll have to start shooting rocks soon** **sadly not even a joke! I almost resorted to shooting rocks today at some wasps (I can do it with either my air cannon or I could build a hydrogen powered cannon), I sometimes put rocks in a 12 oz drink cup like a shotgun wad and blast them out of its 3" diameter 6ft long barrel, haha, works pretty well. But since they made a nest in about a 2.5" steel pipe over the gate I decided to use a 12ga, and that worked spectacularly! But it really is getting down to the point of where I don't even want to use a skeet shell even though I can find those, because even those are disappearing and leaving shelves empty now, next will be BB and pellet (even some CO2 pistols are now selling out).

@@jakegarrett8109 The thumbs in the eyes bit usually always works. "Whack 'em in the skull and leave for the seagulls" does too so I hear.

Almost like they got it from a real ricochet. And then re used the sound in way to many movies

Pweewownnnn

I kept looking for a Red Rider label on the side of the gun.

@@wolfz2363 It said 'Cavalier Rouge'

@@ianvisser7899 well he IS a Francophile so yeah. Plus he has had that for years and never gotten to really shoot it.

le soyjack bugalu face

Looks like it would fit in TF2

@@hyattbusbey3563 looks like sniper's smg with a stock

@@ulasgursoy2838 lol i've always thought that

I like vintage weapons too. Mostly weapons that have strange designs, like this one. Most modern weapons are usually look the same, which is kinda boring.

Look up the police version with the wire stock it looks even weirder.

In 2020 a cheaper alternative to 9x19.

now, chauchat that doesnt suck

He has already covered the Belgian Chauchat: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0RtTck6tLIU.html It's still not amazing, but at least it doesn't suck.

@@CssHDmonster the .3006 ones

Do we move on to the quest for total French firearm dominance from here, now that Ian has unlocked the power of the MAS 38 and .32 French Longue?

Oh my lord I really laughed at this

Where did i put my tactical snack?

This is so great!

Yaayyyyy🇨🇵🇨🇵

Amen.

Yea he's shooting a gun that works and spun a spinner! It was a good day

I am not.

@@johnkelinske1449 Wow, good for you John, very cool!

Gabriel Shaw As a swede i have to say that that is disgustingly cheap, 100 rounds is $10 am i correct? That is absolutely mental

@Jay Slomine Let's be real my guy, you're not going to be laying waste to any SWAT teams with your pump-action 12 gauge and the budding beer gut that will soon obscure your view of your genitalia.

I have legitimately considered getting an AK-74 because my local Sportsman's Warehouse has an entire shelf of 5.45. LIke, who the hell even uses 5.45 in Oregon? What commie larpers are here that aren't using bog standard AKs or SKSes?

Quasimodo predicted all of this

The French Ministry of the Interior approves.

He's part of the French brotherhood at this point. I mean c'mon, we even gave him the keys to our national Famas depot.

as every frenchmen i am required by law to open my door at any time to gun jesus and provide baguette and 7,5 × 54 mm ammo in case he want to do a shooting session in my garden

So no one told you life was gonna be this way, BANGBANGBANGBANG!

IIRC he wore one during a match where he shoot a famas.

In South Africa the Parabats wore those color berets! Greeting from South Africa I was an Operational Orderly or refer to as an Ops Medic in the Bush war 1983. With a FAL

"Today on Forgotten Military Hats, we're going to look at my gun collection. I like to have period appropriate guns to go with my hats..."

SELF control !!!

Superintendent Chalmers: "Spinnerrrrr!"

😂 was I the only person who thought Karl would be there?

@@PrototypeSpaceMonkey I feel like your comment will go underappreciated

I wondered if it was too fast for the audio recording to pick up and it was actually doubles, but if you look in the ejection port you can see the magazine feed side alternating so those are either singles or triples.

Thank you for explaining it. Was wondering if the mic was clipping or something because I thought those were definitely solitary supersonic cracks. Is it something to do with being an open bolt?

Yeah you can slow down the playback speed. Only one case is coming out of the port

@@Snootypriss Yep, bolt is so heavy that when it locks back, the "kick" is almost exactly like when shot is fired.

@@DeusGladiorum you can also tell by looking at the placement of the next bullet in the mag.

Agreed, that confused me too. I even slowed down to quarter speed and you can clearly see a single case eject both times...

I scrolled a long way for this. I think i know why. When you shoot an open bolt gun. You hear the bolt going forward and fire the round. And then you hear the bolt smack the rear and it feels like you shoot twice. (At least i felt like that shooting the Swedish m45)

@@luckygunner8089 I thought similar, but also: Ian has shot pretty much every firearm that has a working example in the world, surely he'd know this? I put it down to heat of the moment confusion.

@@chrisburn7178 Maybe his excitement got in the way of logic. Wouldn't be the first time that's happened to a man, heh. And come on, he finally got a WWII era submachinegun running after years of trying, who wouldn't be excited! It also looks like a nice little shooter.

It is the open bolt... it tricks you.. it feels like it fires 2 rounds. In Denmark we had a submachinegun where that would happend to.... you shoot one round but feel two recoils.... it is very weird.

Ikr, it's so weird, it looks like the barrel is bent down like something out of a cartoon.

I know, right? 😄

Have you ever seen a Jatimatic, now that is angled weirdly.

Oh good, it's not just me.

It makes sense when you see how the gun works but looking at it on paper does seem off.

It's an odd geometry, isn't it? That was my first thought too.

It's a pre-JaTiMatic.

I was thinking about that, the barrel looks like it is pointing down a bit

It looks oddly bent, it messes with my mind.

That's what I was thinking. Really nicely put together.

They actually recorded the sounds of the gun fire from all of the weapons used in the game

I find that the sound a firearm makes varies quite a bit on what environment you're shooting in. Even just moving from shooting in a forest to a flat plain will make a highly noticable difference in report from your end.

@@leewenstien1819 So that means the developers had found someone else with a running MAS 38 with 7.65 Longue. Impressive!

@@chrisd8866 yup, I seen on a behind the scenes documentary that was on a special edition version of the game

I heard about that, but what always strikes me is how Italian partisans at the end of the war got their hands on (Vichy) French SMGs that were quite rare even back then?

@@thomaskole9881 probably captured by the axis and then stolen from a dead body by the partisans

Well to be fair, in the war we produced very little of these, and for the MAS36, it wasn't in sufficient quantities to be delivered to all troops so for infantry rifles and submachines guns, we had to still use 8mm lebel rifles and very little submachine guns therefore I am surprised this gun landed in the hands of an italian partisan.

@@thomaskole9881 Italians forces occupied south of france from 1942 (invasion of vichy france) to 1943 (italian armistice). I'm sure then found a way to acquire some MAS 38 during that period.

@@thomaskole9881 thats just one country to pass, so like few 100km. What strikes more is how did the taliban and syrian rebels get there hands on STG44 in the 2000/2010s and even more curious how the hell did they get ammo.

I loved using all the French weapons in that game. They just felt so different from the standard fair.

Man i was searching for a big red one coment

Same, I would normally take the mas then get the light mg, still would keep the M1 since it is the best gun in the game

I remember picking up the MAS 38 and deliberately emptying the M1 Garand just so that I can swap it with the Châtellerault M24/29. You rarely get to see and use French firearms in video games.

One of the few WW2 games where you fight the Vichy French and Italians.

That was my very first thought.

I think he's actually trying not to grab solely by the mag, in order not to induce feading problems

Damn thought I was the only smartass that commented on the Beret...

culshie well he could be channelling his inner Fumaco (Fusiliers Marins Commando) as they wear the beret a la anglais in honour of their forebears who stormed Arromanches (10 Commando French troops attached to 4 Commando). On the other hand could have just slipped his mind.

He also could be worried about damaging it

Just reminds me that no matter the circumstances you'll be told that you're wearing your beret the wrong way. 😋

Six o'clock hold is for fucking weird autistic savants. I'll point at what I want to hit, thank you very much xD

If Karl says it’s right, it’s wrong

Karl is the _Jamie_ to Ian's _Adam_

@@CrudeConduct666 I've not really messed with it but I think it makes sense for more dynamic shooting, at least with irons. For the most exaggerated example sporting shotguns always use what could be called a very heavy 6 o clock hold so you have full view of where the shot cloud will go and don't lose the target/bird behind the barrel.

6 o clock hold is for unknown distance shooting or machinegunnery when you don't know exactly where your first impact is going to be. It's not meant for the range. It's basically for using kentucky windage with low magnification Optics in situations where you don't have time to figure out your proper hold, the idea being worst case scenario you'll definitely see the first impact to adjust off.

It was a pretty fun gun to use in that game.

And italian Breda M30.

Seriously some of my most nostalgic memories are when I played the original Medal of Honor and Medal of Honor: Underground on PS1 during snow days. Which those games are a few years older than the Call of Duty games so the graphics haven't aged well, but what I remember most are the sound effects & music. Running through the French sewers hearing Gestapo shouting commands in German, german shepherds barking, and the stomping of jack boots. I remember as a kid thinking how realistic it was & that must have been exactly how it felt during WW2, lol.

I still have that game and a working PS2. Still play it sometimes. Good memories.

RIP Brooklyn

How do you think the Resistance managed to conceal them from German searches? By slitting open their baguettes and putting the guns inside, of course :P

@@yetanother9127 hence the mandated half-baguette rule in 1944. 🤣

Yeah. It's actually everything else besides the barrel that is at a downwards slope.

hard enough to have one working, imagine two

Why buy and refurbish one obscure French submachine gun when you could buy two... for twice the price!

You'd need 64 french long for that, highly unlikely.

1940 French commando pattern?

Next time, he's going commando!

Quite interesting french where first on alot of things. Smokeless ammo, smaller cartridge similar to NATO 762, barrel harmonics etc

It's the "Get out of my trench 3000".
