Einstein said he thought WW4 would be fought with sticks and stones, but I find it hard to believe that an M2 Browning wouldn't still be knocking around there somewhere. Equally, the most believable part of Warhammer 40k for me is that in the grim-dark future of the 41st millenium, humanity has yet to find a better weapon to put on the pintle mount of a tank than the M2 Browning (aka the heavy stubber)

I have to point out that there is one movie where someone fires a minigun from the hip in a believable way. And that is Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2. But not because it's Arnold firing the minigun. It's because he's the Terminator. A Terminator is basically a walking weapons platform. When standing still, like in the movie, it's a 600-pound gun turret with built in actuators and recoil dampening mechanisms, so the Terminator firing a minigun is definitely within the realm of believability. So points to James Cameron for firearms accuracy, in a roundabout way, I guess ;)

@jonevansauthor 5 месяцев назад

Fair about him being a Terminator, but IIRC in the scene the bullets all hit where he wants and he's been ordered not to kill anyone so he blows up all those cars which errr... no.

@timbirch4999 Месяц назад

@wolfgangrecordings Месяц назад

if we're talking believability rather than accuracy of use, because they're different things, then i'd argue that blaine's "ol' painless" minigun in predator also works (first time it was done?). he's a hulking badass so it's fitting that his weapon of choice is also a hulking badass, and in the hyper-macho (and yes, completely recoilless) universe of the film it doesn't even seem particularly over the top. hell, even mac uses it after blaine gets killed, with no issues whatsoever. at no point have i watched predator and thought the minigun was too much. also worth mentioning is that in t2 that minigun is in sarah's cache of weapons in mexico, unmounted, meaning in jim cameron's mind a human could indeed fire one from the hip

@sproutpits 5 месяцев назад

Burt Gummer from Tremors has to be the best movie character for gun handling. At one point, he hands a kid an empty revolver to shut him up, and when the kid realizes it's empty and hands it back, Burt then double-checks if the gun is empty. This had to be something the actor (Michael Gross) brought to the table, because I can't imagine the script or director being such sticklers.

In regards to the realistic firearms handling in the movies, particularly "Heat": A friend of mine was in the USMC when the movie was released, and they had a viewing in the barracks. Apparently during the scene when Val Kilmer is suppressing the police, when he goes to cover and does a textbook rapid reload, my friend's Gunnery Sergeant paused the film and something to the effect of, "You see that? THAT is how I want to see you [fine gentlemen] reloading!"

I finally decided to watch Heat after the mentioning in this video and, wow, as someone who has never fired a gun before, the usage is bloody accurate. Like, it is so well thought out. Love the fact tha the police only use single shots during the shootout so as not to harm the civilians and the fact people wait to take shots just a moment so as to get a correct sight picture. Such small details that add so much to the film. Occsionally the police were not using proper trigger discipline when they should have been but that is peanuts. And could be explaned by the stress of the situation.

One of the firearm/tactics advisers brought on for Heat was ex SAS i believe. In an interview he talked about one tactic actually seen in the film towards the end where De Niro is after the bad guy that executed the cash in transit guard (resulting in the team having to kill the other guard as a witness) De Niro has traced the scumbag to a hotel that hes staying at and goes and kills him. The police are alerted and Pacino (i think?) actually comes up behind De Niro pointing a gun at him and asks him to turn around and face him. Instead De Niro backs into him so Pacino can`t shoot as he can`t ID the guy in front of him, De Niro then spins round at the last second knocking the gun away and escaping. The SAS advisor explained that this backing up was an IRA tactic they successfully used over the years to escape as the soldier can`t be sure the person in front of him is the target until he sees their face. This backing up causes hesitation and allows the target to get close to the soldier, so they can then spin round most likely with gun in hand.

Dear SA80, you looked amazing when you were new, futuristic and cool. Despite what people thought, you didn't copy the EM2. We had such high hopes for a new British gun, and you went to all our troops, but straight away you showed your true nature, and everyone said "oops" What a bitch you turned out to be, you broke our soldiers hearts, if it was hot or cold, sandy wet or dry, they'd have been better off throwing farts. When you refused to work (almost every day) they couldn't even use you to beat the enemy away. Your fragile plastic body, your wandering point of aim, no wonder you top the lists in the shit guns hall of fame. To add a final insult, to this tale of woe, it took the Germans to fix you, our historic wartime foe.

On aesthetics I wanted to interject on a great video Ian did on the Whitney Wolverine. That Atompunk swooping Space age pew pew belied it’s .22 calibre in my humble opinion.

This was truly excellent, but May I add a request for next year? Add Chieftain and Bloke in please. Q: “if you could design a muzzle loading tank canon, how would you go about it”

@RoyalArmouries 5 месяцев назад

We'll see what we can do

@nerd1000ify 5 месяцев назад

Your Q is easy to answer, the Churchill AVRE tank did have a muzzle loading gun (technically a mortar). The weapon in question fired a very large cylindrical explosive bomb, nicknamed the flying dustbin. Reloading was done by traversing the turret so the muzzle of the gun was over the bow gunner's hatch, he could then open the hatch, reach up and shove a round into the barrel without exposing his entire body. Obviously very awkward, but it was a dedicated bunker busting weapon so a rapid rate of fire wasn't a priority. With a longer gun we could mount the turret at the rear, and lower the gun into a recess in the front of the tank for loading.

@nerd1000ify 5 месяцев назад

Following up, I got this wrong- the AVRE gun actually folds in the middle so the shell can be loaded vertically through the hatch. So I suppose it's the world's only break action tank.

@roygardiner2229 5 месяцев назад

Even as one who is not a gun enthusiast I can certainly appreciate the aesthetics of guns. Some look just elegant, balanced, something that could almost be a fashion accessory. That was an interesting account of a dropped round igniting, particularly Ian's explanation that it was the case rather than the bullet that "flew". I suppose that follows from Newton's Second Law of Motion or Conservation of Momentum.

@mouldy9466 5 месяцев назад

Honestly the fact that it's even being discussed to openly here is refreshing to see, it's nice to finally talk about an aspect of firearms that goes without discussion because "it doesn't matter how it looks, just that it works!", even though looks definitely to matter and make an undeniable impact

You know that fuzzy feeling you had as a child when the house is calm, the light background noise of a stop-motion holiday flick echos around, the warm smell of freshly baked cookies fill your soul and there's not a single care in the world because your winter holiday is finally kicking off? Well this isn't that, but there is a fuzzy feeling of spiked egg nog and THE surprise of the year on my home page and there are just some things that are just as merry as an adult. This deserves only the best right-before-I-sleep viewership, cheers to you both!

Happy holidays to everyone from here in Canada. Oh and for me: cream on one half, jam on the other half, and eaten separately.
