"Tony Stein built this in a cave, with a box of scraps"

"Use a gun. If that don't work, use more guns." -Engineer

Since his name is Stein, FRANKGUNSTEIN would be a better homage to both Gunner and his gun.

The Stinger will forever be known as the Marine's Machinegun. Period.

Marines are probably the dictionary definition of "Built Different".

Ah yes, one of the most american moments in WW2, a man who combined 3 guns.

The USMC Stinger Machine Gun, the son of M2 MG, the M1 Garand and the BAR.

What Stein did for his marines was not just heroic but a duty to protect his brother in arms against all odds. Amazing soldier showing courage under fire and helping those wounded felt that they are family to him at home and in the battlefield.

Dude straight up crafting weapons before match starts

1:13 Oh yeah, the semi-automatic Arisaka rifle

“If a gun won’t do the job, just add more gun” I can taste the freedom already

*"Trust me, I'm an engineer!"*

Seriously brave actions, but as my instructor used to say: “The difference between being a hero or a total idiot is often just luck”.

Anytime you hear of someone doing something heroic at Iwo Jima you can assume they didn’t make it out alive….and once again this holds true here…

it's a miracle the guy could even walk with balls that big dragging him down

USMC Stinger. A legendary firearm.

This guy is awesome, but imagine the japanese soldiers seeing some barefoot dude coming towards you

Ah, they call it a Frankenstein's gun but i call it a masterpiece. It's a beautiful pice of weaponry and damn do I wish for one

"Stop hacking noob." -Some Japanese soldier.

He’s actually Tony stark that timed traveled and changed his name to Tony Stein XD Edit : love the vid its amazing and the animation is still amazing great job guys

Oh my God that shot sequence at 3:25 would make Monty Oum blush.

The stories about WW2 soldiers heroism are getting wilder with each episode, crazy to think they all actually happened and overshadow most of Hollywood "action scenes"

That moment when you already heard about this from simple history. Also the animators are even more powerful.

Stein is literally every main character in call of duty

"That guy buy battle pass I'm sure" - Japanese Soldier on Iwo Jima

Marine: *STEIN WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!?!* Tony Stein: A Gun I made, Just Watch.

.30 + M1+ BAR = much badassery

Damn the Japanese are so good they're shooting Bolt action rifle like Semi Auto

Pillboxes: *exist* Tony Stein and his Stinger MG: *I'm gonna end this man's whole career*

I haven’t even watched the video yet and I still know it’s going to be good.

barley anyone watched this and barley any comments and likes, exactly 7 hours later this video will die of epicness

As a sailor aboard USS STEIN (FF-1065) from 1982-1986, I was very proud to serve on a ship named for such an authentic hero. This video brings his story to life in such vivid detail! Our ship's motto was "Indomitable" from Tony's MOH citation.

Oh hells ye. The man who used a gun out of 3 guns. Now thats very American😎

I’ve always found it interesting how they were so creative to deal with these battles

So cool to see the ACTUAL guy in action

Our country has had some great heroes. John Basilone with a Browning M1917, Richard Bong in his P-38, Tony Stein with his Stinger, Audie Murphy with a burning M10 Tank Destroyer and Desmond Doss with his arms and legs and shoulders.

“…. Use a gun . If that don’t work , use more guns”

The legendary stinger!

The stinger, made from an ANM4 MG, a garand and a BAR

Man ima be long sleeping when the premiere happens I'm sad now

Im sure Tony Stein plays BFV cus hes using hipfire

This is gonna be amazing

Literally the 'Frankengun' this weapon was a scavenged ANM2 .30 cal machinegun from the tail section of an SVD Dauntless Dive Bomber (US Navy), combined with the stock of the M1 Garand, an improvised firing mechanism (as the machinegun typically had the dual thumb trigger thus to be used with the Garand's pull trigger a special piece of equipment was needed), the carry handle and bipod of the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) and had a fire rate that rivaled the German MG42 but was only used in the Pacific Theatre. To the best of my knowledge, only one photo exists of the weapon. The weapon itself was destroyed or lost sometime around the war's end but I believe there were some copies made (about six) that were likewise used by US Marines and destroyed/dismantled at war's end. This weapon has been mentioned numerous times on shows like Lock 'n Load with R. Lee Ermy, Triggers: Weapons That Changed the World with Wil Willis, and was actually replicated on the TV series The Weapon Hunter hosted by Paul Shull and has even been made an obtainable weapon in Call of Duty: WWII (exclusively for the Zombies mode and Attack of the Undead DLC event apparently...)

He's a Frankenstein with a gun...

The quality of this channel still amazes me, it's just really Amazing

Your gun models have improved. Nice. 👍

Funnily enough, Simple History had already done their version of this man but I enjoyed your depiction of this as well

The entire Japanese team: [ X ] Report.

What an amazing, brave and selfless young man he was.

Hey yarnhub you should do battle of yultong a battle where 1,000 Filipino soldiers defend against 40,000 north korea and chinese troops

What an absolute LEGEND!! Proud to say my grandfather served on the western front as a combat engineer. These men really were “the greatest generation”. Rest easy Marine, Semper Fidelis!

I love SimpleHistory, but Yarnhub just tells a story so much better

Stien stung with his stinger I love this channel so much

Eyy, I called it, knew it was Iwo jima, yet another spectacular video as well, great job

The most daring Marine and with his unique gun. Tony will always be remembers. Salutes

Thank you for not calling it the "Congressional" Medal of Honor. It's the Medal of Honor awarded by Congress and signed by the President, but that is the end of it.

This is the first time I've seen death in a yarnhub video.

Ah yes, the Stinger. A very Orkish shoota

I have a family member who was a machine gunner in the same Company as Stein, Able Co 1/28th Marines. Thanks for posting this video.

The Stinger was actually authorized by the USMC. They had heard about the few already made, including some made in .50 cal, and that they had been highly successful. So they were given official blessings. And official research. The Stinger was finalized into a design by a team put together to find the best design. Two of the Marines' best weapon specialists were even reassigned solely to develop Stinger. It took about a year to do so and build a number of them. USMC leaders were so impressed, they ordered further work and got the resources together to actually convert a factory to produce the Stinger design they now had on hand. Factory conversion was nearing completion when the war ended and so the Stinger was discontinued. The Stinger was the better answer to the Browning M1919A4 Medium Machine Gun and M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle. The Marines noted more work was needed, but it was superior to the other pair. The base weapon was the M1919AN2 .30 caliber Browning Machine Gun. It was the weapon used by Tail Gunners on US Dive Bombers and Torpedo Bombers. Some aircraft also used them in the wings and cowlings as main weapons before the switch over to the larger .50 caliber Browning Heavy Machine Gun variant. That was the chief issue for overheating. They were meant for use in high speed aircraft at altitude. Thus they were at risk of overheating on the ground.

Tony Stein (September 30, 1921 - March 1, 1945) was a United States Marine who posthumously received the U.S. military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his actions in World War II. He received the award for repeatedly making single-handed assaults against the enemy and for aiding wounded Marines during the initial assault on Iwo Jima on February 19, 1945. He was killed in action ten days later.

M1919 Browning MG+BAR+M1 Garand= Stinger MG USMC Innovation = 100

Unbelievable !!! What a hero !!! We owe so much to men like him

Raising the flag on Iwo Jima is such a beautiful photo.

This channel just keeps better and better

This story is incredible! Please make more animations like these!

A truly exceptional man, and just look how we say thank you.

Honor to Stein and the men that had fallen,Stein,The Stinger and the men will not be forgotten,Salute to honor Stein!

Amazing story and a great presentation. I can't imagine what it must have been like approaching a beach under fire in one of those landing craft. More great work on animating the guns, and I also like the look of the volcanic rock near the beginning of the video.

I WAD RIGHT! HUURAH! (I love your content Yarnhub, thanks a lot for the entertaining videos!)

One of the best ones yet. Amazing story, amazing narration, amazing animation. Yarnhub, you continue to wow me.

Wonderful video. Best wishes from Britain and as always don't forget to take a break!

Ps. Pilots were americans they flied on p 51 mustangs and that happened deep in german teritory. Im sorry i dont know theyr names

I think it could have some of the best animation yet 😀

A man that jumped on a wing of burning Lancaster he was from Whanganui Nz awarded the medal 🏅 of honor

Thank you for your service Corporal Tony Stein

YARNHUB you never fail to disappoint🖤❤

Thank you Yarnhub for sharing this story! It's certainly an interesting one!

Incredible story of courage. Iwo Jima was a hell on earth.

What a hero thank you for your service stein

[Radio Yarnhub to fan] Respectfully what I needed another video from my favorite history youtuber yarnhub Really cool animations say your the Best no regrets that this was a nice video [Radio end]

That was really great!

Rarely do these heroic stories have a happy ending. But we usually only hear the ones with happy endings. because they make the best movies. What an amazing guy and a true American hero. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

This man took 5 minutes craft to a whole new level

I don’t know how hard animating is, but when you are portraying these soldiers they usually have a lot more equipment on them. Right now they look sorta bland, but yet again i don’t know how it works. Also i love your videos so keep it up

Like Jesus Christ himself said, no greater love exists than that which gives its own life for its friends

You have outdone yourself! Now that I know how you guys make these videos. I appreciate your hard work doing these. Thank you for this beautiful content!!!

Courage and sacrifice for the marines an amanzing story great tribute

Heroes like Stein should never be forgotten. Greetings from Germany!!!!

An inovative and a brave man.... salute...

Strong Mind and Strong Spirit. RIP Corporal Stein. American Hero.

wow talk about an improvement! Both in subscribers and quality! Keep it up guys I really am proud of seeing one of the best channels in producing historical animations such as this!

Gruns and crafts projects can truly be a thing to behold.
