Today I have made the trek to the C&Rsenal studio to have a Q&A with Othais. Not familiar with his channel? It is a wonderfully in-depth look at firearms history, development, and use focusing on the weapons of World War One. Check it out here:
/ @candrsenal
And if you are looking for someone to support directly, I can think of few who are more deserving and who work harder than Othais, Mae, and the whole crew behind the scenes of C&Rsenal. I support them, and you should too:

I am a Dane - one comment about the Madsen, and why the Danes refused to sell them in larger numbers to (specifically) Germany. Denmark and Germany (or rather preussia/austria) were at war in 1864. Denmark lost the war - and a lot of territory. There were even speculations if Denmark could survive as a sovereign nation being that small (one of the reasons weapons development was a high priority in DK in the first place) ......BUT, In order to survive as a nation it was necessary to tread lightly on the international scene and remain neutral - and rule number one when your neighboring countries are slugging it out on the battlefield.. if you want to remain neutral DONT sell guns to nations at war - especially if its only to one side - and the side you absolutely dont like (anti german sentiment was strong in those years). Denmark did not want to lose favor with the Allied powers. They were the ones who mediated in the 1864 conflict and (this is speculation) Denmark knew if Germany lost they would have a better chance to get to lost territory back. And in fact - thats exactly what happened. The Danish/German border today is exactly where the British suggested it should be back in 1864. I know this is just a comma in the world history - but to the Danes its pretty important. Hope I didnt bore you... :o)

@dearbabette7368 5 лет назад

Perhaps the lessons from 1801 and 1807. Greedy Danish traders had broken the blockade of France / the european continent one time too many. The english fleet payed Copenhagen a visit in 1801, that we were able to fend of by breaking a alliance with Russia. Then they came again in 1807, surrounded Copenhagen, bombarded the city for three days, ruined 2500 houses and killed 250 people. Perhaps historys first terror bombardment of civilians. When we surrendered they stole our fleet and burned anything we had to build a new one. Denmark were able to stay out of WW1, but it were a close call - one of the very few successes of Danish foraign politics.

Gew 71 ammo: My great grandfather served in a rear echelon unit and was issued a gewehr 71 at some point. He notes in his diary that they were issued cartridges with lead flatnose bullets; this caused some controversy with the troops as they feared execution if the french caught them carrying these "inhumane" bullets. The flatnose ammo was intended for the tube-magazine 71/84 and would fit the chamber of a 71 but had the wrong ballistics for the sights. I've read somewhere that the entire stockpile of actual gew 71 ammo had been sent to the colonies in Africa, so when they needed ammo for gew 71s at home they had to issue flatnose 71/84 cartridges. My ancestors wwi diary seems to confirm this.

@elijahaitaok8624 5 лет назад

I wonder why the execution though, a bullet hole is a bullet hole and I'm sure the time to die from either a hollow point, flat nosed, Spitzer, or soft tipped is pretty much the same, and explosive ammo being pretty quick. I can understand gas attacks and flame throwers being an exicutional offence. It's odd how shrapnel artillery being widely accepted but the Germans saying it's a no-no for shotguns.

@Gustav_Kuriga 5 лет назад

@@elijahaitaok8624 You have to remember, both sides are using extensive propaganda efforts to paint the other side as "inhuman". The British in particular were extremely bad about this. The "Rape of Belgium" probably did occur, but only in isolated instances that were likely dealt with internally by the disciplining organs of the German army. If you'd believe what the British propaganda of the time said though, the Germans were slaughtering the Belgians in the streets, raping whole towns of women, and half the population was dead. That's not the case, but that's what is remembered and often recorded by historians. One could ask where was the outrage when the British or Belgians ACTUALLY did those things in the colonies without even the excuse of a war being on if we were to judge things evenly. The British for example overthrew the government of Greece solely to force Greece into the war, but we never hear about that do we?

I love Othias, Mae, and the C&Rseneal channel, but I 100% prefer Othias speaking in q&a form than his prepared speeches. He has such a deep knowledge and it lends himself so well to conversation and discussion with a partner so well. My favorite parts of C&Rsenal videos is at the end when he's talking practical fielding and stuff with Mae. I hope we see more casual-ish conversational videos from Othias in the future. Obviously the best would be him and Ian or him and Eric/Chad doing discussion videos all the time.

One interesting conversion of Maxim 08 and 08/15 guns can be found in Australia. There were thousands of these guns dragged back post WW1 as "trophies". Many "intact' guns ended up hanging above the "Honour Rolls" in Ex-services clubs. See also the German 77mm field pieces that can still be seen rotting away out front of many halls and memorials, Come the Second Great Unpleasantness, there was a dire need for MGs for training, as Lithgow was desperately trying to turn out No1 rifles, Brens and Vickers guns. Some clever chaps recognized the basic similarity (lock inversion excepted) between a Maxim and a Vickers and experimented with a conversion of trophy Maxims to .303. They worked around the differences and eventually came up with a conversion "package" and then the recall of wall-hanger Maxims for "rebirthing" commenced. By all accounts, they worked and provided basic training guns as well as firepower for the Volunteer Defence Corps, a sort of Australian "Dad's Army" . The story of the VDC "home production" of perfectly-functional 3" mortars AND ammo is a good story as well. Post WW2, most of the .303 Maxims were "put in storage" and discretely destroyed. Few, if any made it back to once again guard the Honour Rolls, recently updated to include the latest toll.

@patriot17764th 4 года назад

@gwimbus4399 8 месяцев назад

They did this in New Zealand as well. Is a few MG08’s still around converted to 303 in private collections since the Service clubs had to get rid of them in the 80’s, so they mostly ended up in private hands.

@turbogerbil2935 5 лет назад

Prior to WW1, none of the Dominions or colonies had any particular need for modern service rifles - most territories didn't even have any armed force beyond a police force. Despite the myth, the Empire wasn't a particularly warlike or unstable entity, so even Britain itself didn't maintain significant weapons stocks. Of the Dominions, Canada wasn't under any particular threat, nor Australia, India or South Africa. After the Boer War, most of the participating territories went home with British Long Lees, which was a modern rifle. India, the only country with a substantial standing army, had an arsenal system since the 18th century, but received its rifles from Britain. Following the introduction of the No1 Mk1, India and Australia set up rifle factories. By the end of WW1, the whole Empire had No1 rifles from one factory or another anyway.

There is very little detailed information on what happened though but that's just what I've heard from Ian and Karl and I think Othias on one occasion, that that's what went down. Which is really unfortunate because it would've been a really amazing project. And actually Flo from the original Great War channel that indy was in before he left and made the WWII channel basically did what indy wanted to do and did a massive military history collaboration with a bunch of other youtube channels (including Forgotten Weapons and many others) and created the 16 Days In Berlin project and that went really well apparently. Although I haven't seen it yet because you can only see it if you buy it from Real Time History's (formerly The Great War) website.

Having shot several of the WW1 rifles you have talked about my personal favorite cartridge was the 7X57 Mauser. It was much more pleasant to shoot that a similar gun in 8X57, 30.06, .303 or Russian 7.62X54 and on the plus side it was a very flat shooting cartridge out to 300 yards. Having only shot some of the late war Japanese 6.5 Arisaka rifles that were a little crude I never put too much practice in on them and never even bought one back in the day when you could pick one up for $25.00 at gun shows in the 1970's.

@Estinus 5 лет назад

The First World War is covered in modern day high school in a couple hours at best.... the war that changed the face of the planet... so many died.... much respect for those who keep their honor alive

@robashton8606 5 лет назад

In most UK schools, several weeks are spent covering the First World War in some detail, from the political shenanigans that led up to it's breaking out, to the aftermath and the injustice that was the Versailles Treaty. The Soviet revolution is also covered, as are important events between the wars (Wall St crash/ New Deal and the rise of fascism in Europe etc.). There is an emphasis on 20th century history in general, which gives people a decent insight into how the world they now live in came to be, something far more useful to be aware of than five hundred year old squabbles over royal succession in my opinion.

@travishenty1113 5 лет назад

If you're dishing of US schools is because the First World War is only important because it leads to the Roaring Twenties and is basically was step one to the Second World War which was a much bigger deal to the United States.

@robashton8606 5 лет назад

@@travishenty1113 I wasn't remarking on US schools at all.

@planescaped 5 лет назад

This was the same when I was in high school in the early 00's as well. But then again, they never even mentioned the great migration period, despite it being crucial to the understanding of the *entirety of ensuing European history* >__> 'Oh Rome went away I guess...? then the crusades happened i dunno.'

@travishenty1113 5 лет назад

@@robashton8606 that's why I said if. Because your concern is one I have. The Great War changed the world completely. It destroyed empires that had been around for centuries and it's little more than a a single day discussion. And sadly it's because they're want a really big American moment in the war. We didn't have a Gallipoli or Verdun so it's just not part of our cultural zeitgeist. It's just the war Over There.
