The Most Produced Gun in WW2 

He’s a little confused but he’s got the spirit

Matt you should do a gun tour and show all of the guns that you have

Matt: M1 carbine is cost about $45 Airsoft M1 carbine: $302 take it or leave it

Everyone will get a gun, and Mere will cook breakfast, and we will start training. I love that plan.

I work at a factory that was owned by GM and produced M1's during the war. The rebar in the floor is leftover M1 barrels.

M1 carbine: "most produced gun in ww2" Mosin Nagant: "Hold my vodka, comrade."

When he said "Most produced gun in WW2" I thought he was going to review a Mosin Nagant.

I love how far your channel has come, and yet how these old videos are still entertaining. Easy to see how you grew to be so big.

11:39 “it’s obvious, I’m preparing for the apocalypse” *Agree’s with coronavirus*

Matt: I’m prepping for the apocalypse Everyone: *laughs* 2020: *laughs back*

Matt: they had lighter things, they had like Thompson machine guns. Me: THE THOMPSON IS HEAVIER THAN THE GARAND DAMMIT Edit: why is this my most liked comment?

Matt-“I just wanted to compare it with sonething you probably shot” European me-tears running down my face

People in 2017: laugh when preparing for apocalypse Mat in 2020: They called me a madman

Me: Wait Matt you sleep with your guns Matt: Wait you don't

"We'll save the world from the apocalypse" Me: Sounds good.

Seen an M1 garand at a gun show many years back that was from WWII and had never been shot. Still had the original packing grease. They wanted like $1,200 for it back then. Love your content Matt. My new favorite channel.

"The most produce gun in ww2" Me:wait what -look at the description Me:ohh

Factoid: Louisville Slugger, the baseball bat company had a large part of its bat factory in Louisville converted to make the wood stock for the M1 Carbine. Not that big of jump in production protocol as the company had (still has) lots and lots of wood lathes, which could make part of the wood stock. Learned this on a tour at the Louisville Slugger museum aways back.

Love your videos about guns . One of my favorite video is the FREAKIN Mosin Nagant !

4:31 "In WWII, they were going through trenches a lot." WWII, as opposed to WWI, was a mobile war, defined by its comparative *lack* of trenches.

“I did not have sexual relations with that firearm.” - Matt Carriker

I can't wait!!! I am back working again and I have promised myself a M1. Carbine for Christmas this year. Got two 30s loaded up and ready for her.

The apocalypse start I'm with you Matt. Demolition meeting

Mare is gonna need a bigger stove to cook for 4 million of us.

Pop carried a M1 Garand in WWII. Landed on Omaha Beach in Normandy a couple weeks after D-Day. Got through the Battle of the Bulge, and the Rheinland Campaign. Then went a little too far into Germany and was captured by the Germans. They took his M1.97 days in a POW camp before being liberated.Had a Battle of the Bulge replica made. It was a Winchester 70 featherweight. Chambered in .30-.06. Has the BOB emblem on the stock. I think they made 300 of them.He never got to fire it before he passed away. I still have it...

Props on the Steyr. Great pistols that don't get enough love

In 1944 my grandfather was given the M1A1 carbine, which If you didn’t know, that could have a folding stock. He told me about how it would almost never jam. He was around 19-20ish and was 6,1 and it was like a Mattel toy for him.

"I guess I should have specified it’s the most produced AMERICAN gun during WW2". Just leaving this here, a few people are missing it.

You should get metal targets with different pitches and play jingle bells with your guns :)

i own 3 pieces of GM M1 Carbine and 2 Inland :) had one more inland carbine but there was name and address carved on stock so i found the person (now 81yo man) and i have returned his rifle to him for free after i repaired the bolt (refinished moving parts so it goes slick and nice) he was happy to reunite with his rifle

love this guys energy

Now don’t get mad when 4 million people show up to your door😂😂

Matt: "I'm preparing for the apocalypse." Me watching in March 2020: "He's psychic, I wonder if they've started training yet."

My 1st back up rifle was that 30.cal M1/scoped with a 30 rd mag in my trunk as a county deputy in the 70s. One of those guns you wish you'd never let go. Got the Navy rifle Expert medal with the M14 . Somebody handed me a M1A1 Grande at the 1987 Pacific Fleet Matches held at Camp pendleton. I saw why it beat the crap outta Germany's bolt action 98. You had to love "Fast Follow up shots" doc.

The carbine was issued to platoon leaders sometimes a platoon sergeant or squad leader. The main Brattle rifle was the M1. It was considered last Converse for the NCO'S and officers that had more to do.

The m1 carbine was actually produced to give artillery crews and vehicle crews an alternative to the 1911 sidearm

The M1 Carbine was designed to replace PISTOLS issued to rear echelon troops. Because it was so light and carried lighter ammo a soldier could carry more of it. It is effective up close and clearing a house was easier with a weapon you could maneuver easier and you can accurately fire quickly and hit a target with multiple rounds.

I know this is an old video, but I just started following your channel! The M-1 carbine was more popular in the Pacific, it had trouble penetrating the heavy winter clothes in Europe. It was mostly carried by the guys in the rear and tank crews. In the Pacific they didn't wear the heavy heavy clothes and there was a lot more close up/cqb type fighting

Another note: the M1 Carbine was issued to a lot of guys who literally couldn't carry a Garand in their circumstances. A lot of vehicle crews, namely jeep and truck drivers, the very-weighed-down men who carried ammo for bazookas, a version with a folding wire stock was made for paratroopers, etc.

My prediction for what the apocalypse will be: 1. Zombies 2. Canada attacking us 3. Matt choosing 1 (permanent) favorite gun

Could u do a video showing off ur entire gun collection ?

Thank you! I have one. It's a valid (and damn good) 250 yard whitetail cartridge. If it will drop a whitetail, it is also good on enemy soldiers. Never had a FTF, never had a malf of any kind. The standard ammo at 100 yards is equal to a .357 at the muzzle. One guess what is on top of my bug-out-bag.

Love this video review. I inherited a mostly IBM m1 carbine with a saginaw receiver and winchester stock. Whats amazing to me is that there were so many manufacturers of parts for this carbine...IBM, Saginaw, Winchester, Rockola, Inland ...just to name a few..But the parts all perfectly interchanged. The carbine was intentionally made with loose tolerances. It was designed to give soldiers who werent on the front lines and alternative to the 1911 45colt. It was easier to shoot more accurate with the carbine vs the pistol and and easier to train the soldiers to shoot it. It was so easy to shoot, so light and handy that it found its way to the front lines and was popular with paratroopers and convoy caravans. There are several carbine reviews showing the 30 caliber carbine accurately shooting through 12x12 inch pine boards wrapped in wool (to sumulate North Korean regulars winter attire...and the carbine blows through this and a gallon jug of water at 200yds. Some of the issues with penetration was because many soldiers tried to engage the enema beyond 200 yds (in Europe) and the little carbine wasnt designed for that...it was designed as an intermediate or stop gay between the 1911 pistol and the Garand. The Carbine muzzle energy at 100 yds is the same as a 357 magnum at the muzzle. So you have to ask yourself....would you like to get hit with a 357 magnum at point blank range? Would a 357 in close quarters go through a thick winter coat? Some of the penetration issues with the 30 cal carbine had to do with extreme cold and the ammo powder not burning efficiently or completely, resulting in Weaver performance. I believe I read where they later corrected this problem in the Korean war. I love this rifle and its history... Great review sir!!

I like history lessons personally. Im one who doesn’t know a lot about guns but I find them interesting so sometimes when gun guys rattle off numbers it ammo types I have no clue what they mean so a little breakdown is nice.

The history nerd in me is losing my mind... 30 Carbine was designed for support troops, it ended up in the hands of officers and mortarmen and the like, it was eventually used by the paratroopers with a side folding stock. Also, trench warfare wasn't the most common sight, that was world war 1... Still love ya Matt, but go read some WW2 books.

10/10 would assemble at Demo Ranch for the end of days. say the word Matt we will be there!

First time watcher, LOL! Love this dude LOL! SUBSCRIBED!!

I would join the *Demolitia*

Matt next video we wanna see ALL your guns laid out and just kinda talk about them. I wanna see the full armorment

Matt’s neighbor: I’m so happy that the creek has so many good fish in it! Matt: 🔫🔫🔫🌊💦 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐠🐠☠️🪦

Two of the best right there.

Production of Mosins, 98 Mausers, Lee Enfields and Arisakas far exceeded the production of M1 Carbines during the war. The title would be correct if it was titled "The Most Produced US Service Weapon of WWII".

HOW MANY ROUNDS WOULD IT TAKE TO GO THROUGH THAT ROCK.

That's 30 cal is a really nice piece of hardware and my friend recovered his when it fell overboard and it's a good thing because it was made in 1942 and it shoots smooth but I think unfortunately he going fishing back at that same fishing hole and I hope he doesn't loose it again.Thank You Jake Bissel

It was originally designed to replace needing a pistol. But they were so handy that the use was expanded a great deal.

Can we get some more Big Rock Tests in the future? I like the objective, and precise scientific data it produces.

The m1 carbine was created not as a replacement for the m1 garand. It was developed as a pdw. Gun for tank crews and jeep jockeys, cooks and people behind the line. It was made so support troops had firepower. I have a singer m1 carbine.

Most satisfying thing about M1 Garand is that iconic sound when run out of ammo

My dad gifted me my grandpa’s old carbine when I turned 16 and it’s great, a really great shooter, plus there’s tones of ammo for it👌🏻

I got you mat👍 when the apocalypse comes I’ll bring the pancake mix

actually the m1 carbine came about because they needed a gun for people who were not on the frontline but needed to be armed but didnt need a full size battle rifle, and needed more than a pistol, they eventually found their way onto the frontline were they were well liked by the men who carried them, also, ww1 was when they dug the trenches, they did have them in ww2, but were not as popular.

I call dibbs on the Barrett when Matt's handing out weapons 🤣😂😁😅

When he pulled that slide back whewwww dang that’s real nice!!!!!

This intro makes me believe that Matt really wanted to be a rockstar when he was young. (He said that in a Vlog) lol.

mosin rifle - 37 000 000 mauser 98 - 15 000 000 m1 carabine - 6 500 000

Just bought one and love it.

Patton said the Garand was the gun that won the war. Having shot one several times, it's an absolute beast. .30-'06 is just a massive round, SO much power every time you pull the trigger. You can shoot through just about anything to hit your enemy. I love the ghost ring sights on them as well. And Tommy guns were never meant to shoot anything at 200 yds. They were city-clearing guns and great for trench warfare.

this wasn't even the most AMERICAN produced gun of the war, the M1 Garand was produced in higher numbers during WWII. After the war, in the Korean era, the Carbine was produced in higher numbers, sure. But the most produced US weapon of the war was the Garand, and the overall most produced weapon of the war was the Mosin Nagant.

Matt, a little bit of correction: "By the end of the war, approximately 13 million M91/30 rifles had been produced." that is the Mosin riffle count for the WW2.

Seeing matt being funny is always entertaining

I gots 5 of em… one type 53 carbine brimg back was throphy bring back of my “magicial mystery tour of 68’’! little ruff on the schoulder! I now reload for this cartdrigde!

Most produced weapon used by the United States in WW2, to be specific. The Soviets produced 60 million Mosin Nagants

The Thompson was actually a little bit heavier than the garand.

I'm not really a gun guy but this channel is funnier than expected so I guess I'll stick around for a bit.

out of all my guns my 30 carbine is the most favorite in my collection. its old and still holds up to a lot of shooting still to this day

I don’t need a gun, but can I just come over for breakfast?

Can you please please please see up some metal plates and play Jingle bells

Best opening of a video yet!!!

Don’t forget the grease gun 45 acp, we have one of those in our collection such a cool iconic gun from ww2. They’re super rare and expensive these days

You need a Canadian chapter for the Demolitia. I volunteer, as I have the Demo Ranch AR 15 and I have a hunting property...

The Tommy gun wasn´t any lighter than the Garand. In fact, it was a pound heavier. The carbine was intended to replace the M1911 pistol for rear echelon units, and to equip paratroops. Although in the end it ended up being used by first line troops who prefered the lightweight, light recoil and high capacity, specially in Korea.

I actually have an m1 carbine both a real one and a replica that’s chambered in .22 they’re both fun to shoot

This man has the greatest intro's in the world i swear😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💙

Can you shoot the rock with the 50 cal

Next video idea: guns vs big rock

LMAO @ INTRO HERE. Your a legend!

I use m1garand natoammo in my 30-06 , handles them fine , very accurate in a lightweight savage model 110

the *Plink* from an M1 garand mag is probably the best sound any gun has ever made

The Thompson wasn’t exactly light tho.

Legend has it it’s still Raining over there today

That's actually a post-WWII M1 Carbine. You can tell with the addition of a bayonet lug, which the WWII ones did not have, alongside the adjustable rear sights.

The Russians made 37 million Mosin Nagants. Granted, not all in WWII, but I *know* more Nagants were made during WWII than this rifle.

Dad" really Taylor Swift?" Me" it's the intro to a gun video" Dad"mhm"

By far the best opening

Didnt come for the history but stayed because of it. Alway love little history.

You gotta do more "history" videos! very interesting

You should do Jingle Bells with guns

9:09 what? dollashave club ships the entire wall to your house? Awesome!

The 30 carbine was developed to give non front line troops something more accurate and more powerful than just a 1911 A1. Truck drivers, mechanics, officers etc. I have the 30 M2A2 version. It was given to many foreign paratrooper personal. It is an A2, select fire version with a collapsible wire stock. I acquired mine on a battle-field in Vietnam in 1967. The Vietnamese paratrooper that had it no longer needed it and I did. it is also very controllable in full auto.

First time I've ever heard someone call a tompson light weight haha
