HK G3 with Aimpoint

[tobitadagon]

Why the tactical scrotum, do you intend to shoot from a helicopter or open machinery?

[dopefish93]

@tobitadagon this is used in peace time in sweden. mostly for saving money by recycling the brass and secondly for keping the hot brass to hit your buddies on the range :P

[Noobpatty]

@tobitadagon it's for convenience at the range bitch, do you see a helicopter? why don't you pick up other peoples' brass for us if you don't like it

not like he's wearing a mich helmet, a microphone and multicam..

[FredDude27]

@tobitadagon

Its unofficially called "Elephant scrotum" by the troops here. ^_^

[crydepunkmuffin]

der hülsenfang sieht aus wie ein hodensack

[padz233]

Can some of the swedish guys here please tell me if it is possible to buy this brass catcher in sweden als a civilian?

Thank you

[JackWorm75]

@padz233

Hi. No we cant. Do You need one, I have a spare I think.

[lordofhyenas]

@padz233 i have a spare too

[NinjaToastMan]

is it me or was he falling asleep before the guy next to him shot

[MaartenOwnd]

0:08 I was like.. Huh, no recoil?

[JAYcovey706]

@ESCTASTEC LOL

[JAYcovey706]

That gun has a ballsack.

[jesuslovesmebetter]

@JAYcovey706 more like a diaper lol

[liquidmans05]

Thumbs up if you thought he did only 1 shot...and still think so

[thejurassicpark]

Titeln säger att det är en G3 och det är det då inte. Han fråga om det var en ak5 och du sa jag, pinsamt.

[JackWorm75]

@thejurassicpark Vill du utveckla detta? HK G3 och AK4 är samma vapen. AK5 är från början en FN FNC men utan 3-skotts burst. Sedan har vi i Sverige vidareutvecklat vapnet. Men så vitt jag vet är HK G3 och AK4 exakt samma vapen utan några förändringar. Bara det att vi döpt den till automatkarbin nr 4.

[thejurassicpark]

@JackWorm75

Finns inga korn på ak4'an, det finns ett sånt där railsystem på den, elefantpungen, andra mag osv. Det finns en anledning till att Husqvarna licens tillverkar ak4'an och inte köper direkt av HK.

[JackWorm75]

@thejurassicpark Tycker du är väl petig. Vi har SÅGAT av siktena och svetsat på rail:en, elefantpungen är ett tillbehör, och vad menar du med andra mag? Magget är inte vapnet.

[thejurassicpark]

@JackWorm75

Där missa du en sak till, om den har rails så är den en Ak4b. :P

[JackWorm75]

@thejurassicpark Och oavsett vilken svensk variant av AK4 det är så är det en HK G3. Sitt nu ned i båten och sluta trolla.

[thejurassicpark]

@JackWorm75

Nä jag står tack 

[Skalmans750]

@thejurassicpark AK4 har korn. AK4B har däremot inga. (AK4B =ombyggd AK4 med monterade rails och nedfilade korn)

[thejurassicpark]

@Skalmans750

O'rly

[laksemann]

@thejurassicpark Visst fan är det en G3. AK4an är ju en G3.

[armorersvault]

what is with his thumb it is a pistol grip and any one that know what they are doing would hold it as such

[JackWorm75]

@armorersvault

He conducted the drill as his superior wanted him to. He was asked to try that grip out.

[lundholm4]

Isn't this an Ak5 B?

[JackWorm75]

@lundholm4 Yepp it is.

[thejurassicpark]

@JackWorm75

Det är ju en ak4, är det du som har filmat? Pinsamt...

[JackWorm75]

@thejurassicpark Inget pinsamt alls. Jag vet att det är en AK4, titeln på klippet säger även detta. Jag läste frågan slarvigt och gav ett felaktigt svar.

[Skalmans750]

@JackWorm75 ??..... it´s a AK4B not AK5, ive got one so im able to tell.

[JackWorm75]

@lundholm4

I read the question badly and gave You the wrong answer, this is AK4.

[lundholm4]

@JackWorm75 Eftersom den saknar korn och har "rails" monterade så är det väl en Ak 4B eller ?

[darthlime101]

We hear three shots yet we only see one. Assuming there was someone else was there?

[JackWorm75]

@darthlime101 You are right itts a military firedrill, he wasnt alone.

[darthlime101]

@JackWorm75 Ah. That clarifies things. So many videos say "friend' and the usual assumption is a bunch of gun enthusiasts going up shooting. This time "friend" is "brother-in-arms".

[singsam271]

0:07 he handled that recoil like a boss

[synthostyle]

Sweden!!!!!!!!!!

[IzzualYamakawa]

at first it looked like he was sitting on post about to fall asleep lol

[925salvador]

LIKE THAT BRASS CATCHER MAN... NO EVIDENCE....

[swertinge07]

@925salvador We call them "elephant sack"...

[carlosewm]

Let me be sincere, this video looks extremely fake, but the gun smoke says otherwise.

Did you for some reason implement this particular firing sound in the video? Because I seem to have heard it before.

[JackWorm75]

@carlosewm ?? Nothing fake about it, 100% unedited.

[carlosewm]

@JackWorm75 Ok, I hope I didn't sound offensive, I was just curious.

[JackWorm75]

@carlosewm NP

[Bodacious468]

@JackWorm75 I think this dude is just a really experienced/disciplined shooter that makes the kick on a .308 look like nothing.

[barerobert]

@carlosewm Can you say why you thaught this looked fake? Because i only saw a guy fire one round of a rifle... Hmmm...

[smenezes11]

Let me save you all some trouble... The video starts at 0:10

[Andre232323232332323]

where does the shell goes to?._.

[TheJonte165]

Hur i helvete har han lagt tummen?

[JackWorm75]

@TheJonte165

Befälet ville vi skulle prova detta sätt.

[TheJonte165]

@JackWorm75 Är ni Hemvärnssoldater eller HVU/FBU?

[perto1970]

I do prefer the aimpoint

[TheMadMontageUS]

i think the sights of some german weapons such as the g3 or mp5 are kind of intrusive. they really block your target out. i like the aimpoint a lot

[Kickasss119]

i don't really like the little RIS claw. much prefer a classic STANAG claw mount

[bboynicchi]

音ズレw

[hardwear10]

AK4B nice =)

[bad2dbone624]

why is there no sights on the FAL

[streetsurf194]

@bad2dbone624 What FAL? There is no FAL in this video. There is no iron sight becuase the swedish army standard issue only has aimpoint.

[bad2dbone624]

@streetsurf194 the swedish army doesny use g3s

[streetsurf194]

@bad2dbone624 They dont use the FN FAL either, they use the FN FNC. If your so fucking bad to the bone you should know that the gun shot in the video is "ak 4" which is the sweedish armys adoptive name for g3.

[Kickasss119]

@streetsurf194 cut him some slack, he probably plays CoD and thought it was an FAL, since they looks so "similar"

[streetsurf194]

@Kickasss119 CoD players are ok, they'r just funny, but I don't cut this guy or people like him slack - Visit his channel, and you'l see what i mean.

[Kickasss119]

@streetsurf194 well yah, there's nothing wrong with CoD players (i happen to be one) but it get anoying when they try to claim themselves as experts on guns just cause they've played a video game. I dont think of myself as an expert, but I atlleast look up info on the different rifles before I type anything.

[streetsurf194]

@Kickasss119 Exactly! Even military personel play CoD (at least Norwegian ones do, haha). And even people that have never touched a gun, but are interested, can just use google, wikipedia or read a book :)

[Kickasss119]

@streetsurf194 i checkout his channel... scary shit

[megrune94]

Seriously, why use aimpoint on 100m?

I am in the Home Guard Youth (Heimeverns Ungdommen) in Norway and we shoot the AG3 (G3A5) at 300m with the iron sights on 2.. You dont need the aimpoint..

[JackWorm75]

@megrune94

I suppose we all do here in Sweden. They mounted the aimpoint and removed the iron sights so using them is very hard ;)

[jozeaphe]

@JackWorm75 And why do you keep blinking with the eye you are aiming with?

[99364375287629482837]

@megrune94 hvilket distrikt hører du til?

[megrune94]

@99364375287629482837 HV-05, er du med i HVU du også?

[99364375287629482837]

@megrune94 okey.. ja stemmer, er i HV-02.

[Quartz91]

@megrune94

Well, maybe it's because you cant get the aimpoints :D same with the home guard here i denmark, they only get the gun :)

[megrune94]

@Quartz91 The regular norwegian Home Guard Task Force uses the aimpoint though, just as every other unit in the norwegian military ;)

[MGL40]

@megrune94 Acctually: The main advantage with the aimpoint, and most heads- up style red dot, non magnifying sights is not for long range engagements. The main reason to use it is for fast aiming in short distances in situations such as CQB. Other advantages include quicker multiple target engagements and also it gives you a better ability to shoot from your reaction- side shoulder (aka weak shoulder).

[aaron4820]

@MGL40 The purpose of his comment wasn't to find out the answer to his "why", but to draw attention to the fact that he is able to engage at 300m with iron sight, so we should all give them plenty of attention and pat him on the back saying "well done, here's your sticker".

[jointenn]

@megrune94 it's for fast targeting.

[Nater245689]

@megrune94 Because the Aimpoint is a CQB sight, not a long range sight. It's not even magnified. It's 2 MOA dot isn't very precise past 300m but I'm sure you could stretch that out to 400m if you had to. In case you hadn't noticed, iron sights are rapidly becoming obsolete on combat rifles except as a backup to an optic. A non-magnified optic like the M4 allows faster target acquisition, must easier shooting with both eyes open, and generally improved accuracy. I

[Nater245689]

Why the brass catcher on the G3? Sanitary purposes? Every roller-delayed blowback rifle I've shot has beaten the brass up so badly that it can't be reloaded.

[megrune94]

@Nater245689 This film is from the swedes.. They mount it to catch the shells because they dont want to go out picking up shells. We do not use this in Norway.

[BlackLightStar]

@megrune94

Because it doesn't require tools to adjust, it can be used as a great advantage with nightvision, and it has better visuality in dusk and dawn.

[iJantsa]

@megrune94 for fast target acquisition, useful in built area combat

[megrune94]

@iJantsa But this is downrange ^^

There is a reason we use iron sights for training mostly in Norway. So that you know how to use them correctly in case the batteries in the aimpoint fails.

[Skalmans750]

@megrune94 The lifetime of an aimpoint battery is 10 years, once it´s drained you have to ge a new aimpoint as the batterys aint replaceable.

[megrune94]

@Skalmans750 It can still fail. It can get techincal difficulties, the way you set it correctly can fail so that it wont be on target. A EMP might inflict, causing the aimpoint to fail. You never know what can happen.

[Skalmans750]

@megrune94 yes sure it can, but the advantages still overruns the disadvantages by far.

On the top of the Aimpoint you got a "iron sight" to use when fighting close combat using pure reflexes, its accurate enough fighting on shortrange. But i have to admit that it took some time to get used to the Aimpoint, now i can´t manage without it :)

[megrune94]

@Skalmans750 hehe :P

In Norway, you get tought to shoot close combat with the front lid of the aimpoint closed and the back open. So that the red dot is on the target. I've only heard about it though, but I am probably testing out the aimpoint on the HK416 after christmas. Maybe I'll find it better than the regular ironsights :P

[Aenonar]

@megrune94 The Swedish aimpoint sight has a small clear window on the rear lid, so you don't even have to flip that one open (actually, you never really do unless it's fogged up). It's definitely better to have the front one open, but one day during training the weather was so horrible that we had to close the front lid between each shooting and sometimes we forgot to open it again.. Worked just fine even on ~50 meters since you use both eyes to shoot, and the red dot never moves.

[iJantsa]

@megrune94 damn nice point ! here in finland most conscripts dont even get to see an aimpoint... like me ;D

[megrune94]

@iJantsa Neither in Norway. You need to be a regular soldier, hired soldier (grenader) or be on a 3 year contract with the Home Guard Task Force to get a aimpoint or even a HK416.

[Skalmans750]

@megrune94 The aimpoint improves your rate of fire dramaticly as you just fire where the "red dot" is.

it improves the targeting and hit ratio ALOT!

Ive been using the "ironsights" for years but once i got the aimpoint....halleluja! :)

[guitarrmasta]

oh my god you think too much to pull the trigger... if i had that rifle id be wasting ammo like a motherfucker all day

[andromedarr]

@guitarrmasta And then have a broken shoudler, and 2000 Shots on 1 killes Enemy.

[guitarrmasta]

@andromedarr i believe for what i see on the video that HE IS NOT SHOOTING PEOPLE... you should've realized that... its a completely different story if you are trying to hit a target but if i were in a range id still waste ammo like crazy just to have fun... and no my shoulder wouldnt break because im a fucking badass

[andromedarr]

@guitarrmasta But he is practising for shooting people.

I read somewhere that he is in the swedish army :)

[kingofthe40oz]

haha, what the fuck is he shooting with his hand like that for. fucking annoys the hell out of me, just like faggots who fire pistols with there fucking middle finger and keep there index on the slide.

[mikeymike4g63]

all this video time and only one shot fired..... what a waste of time.

[pilotbutterfly]

I always said this gun has the biggest ballsack.. AND THERE'S YOUR EVIDENCE!

[caligotspeerbomb]

this guy looked like he was bout to knock out just laying there...ahahha

[chevy9395]

hate to say it but 2 tips 1 get your thumb behind that grip you will shoot alot more stable improve accuracy i dont give a shit if you are using a bipod or bag dont matter if ya aint got ahold of that rifle i dont mean squeeze the hell outta it just get your hand around it and number 2 it looked like you were holding your breathe for the shot you wanna squeeze the trigger at the bottom or top of your breath if you focus on your breathing you will be able to slow it down and place amazing shots

[chevy9395]

[Dubaifreak]

A rifle designed to kill..not injure... 

[AGeekWithAShotgun]

@Dubaifreak

All rifles are designed to kill

[602Rocko]

can someone say i'm getting that?

[commybuster]

I never liked the idea of removing the integral iron sight of a weapon especially of this Hk Battle Rifle.

[JackWorm75]

@commybuster

I´m with You on that one. Dont know why they did it, if the aimpoint fails, or falls of...

[adobo777]

@JackWorm75 It's never a matter of IFs more so on a battery powered optics.

[perto1970]

@JackWorm75 There is a open sight on top of the aimpoint. And the force needed to knock off the aimpoint is considerble. Once you get used to the aimpoint it is rather nice.

[Nater245689]

@commybuster Removing the irons is a bad idea unless you're going to replace them with something else. That said, the CompM4 has a rail on top of it. I can't make it out very well, but it looks likes it's mounting some form of BUIS.

[commybuster]

@Nater245689 You can mount a reflex sight on G3 without removing the iron sight, remember that iron sights are not prone to breaking or coming loose. if the reflex sight is damaged, you have a back up iron sights.

[ZzRvXzZ]

@commybuster

hey dude!

whats that weird stuff on the right side of the rifle?

[JackWorm75]

@ZzRvXzZ

Collects spent casings.

[OrvarBecks]

@commybuster I'm issued this rifle, and I agree.

[RyanR3volution]

That aimpoint cap really makes me chuckle, he is not aiming, might as well be firing from the hip.

[JackWorm75]

@RyanR3volution

It´s a see-thru plastic cap, You can see the dot.

[RyanR3volution]

@JackWorm75

Ah, the camera angle makes it look like its non-translucent. My bad.

[alezatf]

@RyanR3volution hes roy xray vision

[DrPlatypusStarcraft]

There is a reason the G3's stock is called the meat tenderizer.

[junkrat1]

sexy gun :)

[JackWorm75]

No The forward end clamps on the reciver and rearward end grips on the reciver frame. It was used before the picatinny rail was mounted. Google "AK4" and You´ll find some pictures.

[ShadowsOfMisfortune]

I looked around online for this brass catcher and could not find anything... Is it held on by the rail?

[bulgogi1212]

This guy was trying so hard not to fall asleep before shootn his rifle....

[shepjw11]

nato rounds???

[SweStuff94]

@shepjw11 Yes 7.62x51 NATO

What caliber? :D

7.62x51

[DrMrAnimePants]

@JackWorm75 :o

[molanlabexm15]

@JackWorm75 Mr worm, Could explain the way you grip your rifle? Thank you.

[charlesaferg]

Where did you find that brass catch?

[JackWorm75]

@charlesaferg

Standard Swedish issue. It´s called the elephant sack ;)

[TheMedievalMan]

@JackWorm75 Is it true the men of your country are pussy whooped by your women?

[SweStuff94]

@TheMedievalMan what??

[TheMedievalMan]

@SweStuff94 Sweden has a reputation as the "feminist capital" of the world.

[SweStuff94]

@TheMedievalMan Thats new to me... and i live in sweden so i cant reely see how that could be true...

[atokombeled]

@JackWorm75

I can't find the post you replied to, but I suppose you were talking about that little baggy thing

that collects empty shells. Could you give us some info on it?

Maybe a link or something? I've seen some "shell bags" before, but neither of them looked like this.

This G3 is interesting too. I see they screwed picattiny rails on the scope mounting holes.

The whole weapon is interesting, and it looks like a nifty heck of a good gun! ;)

You Swedish guys know how to live! :)

[xxxCRAZYLOVExxx]

@JackWorm75 why would u collect shells?

[perto1970]

@xxxCRAZYLOVExxx Recycling in peace time, in war the collecting bag goes off

[xxxCRAZYLOVExxx]

@perto1970 ok thanks, i was wondering if they used this in war, didnt make much sense :)

[salamine153]

this sound.......

[laksemann]

AK-4 är en bra och pålitlig bössa, men den är svår att handskas med när man skjuter helautomat! ;-)

[deltaalpha21074]

waste of time to play sniper with G3 awesome spraying heavy assault rifle and if you want to switch from a Bandam weight to heavy weight>>> kick out the good old Great Grandpa BAR ...30.06 full auto !

[sirwestiethe7th]

@deltaalpha21074 what.

[kLB92651]

one powerful accurate work of craftmanship. one of the best guns ever produced.

[ThroatSlitta]

@kLB92651 amen

[Lobos222]

The casing catcher was cool.

About not holding the pistol grip.Cant say I ever heard about that trick, but everything that might twist the weapon a bit would affect accuracy. So did the heating of the barrel compared to a 5.56 weapon.I always wore glows on my left hand because when you went passed 40 rounds the plastic started to heat up to the point of it slightly burning your hand. That and we used to take a small branch of fir tree between the front plastic and the barrel to absorb some heat.

[JackWorm75]

@tjalolx

Yes.

[MrErjavec]

g3 is some uggly gun!

[cartuner555]

why is there a pouch on the ejection port?

[JackWorm75]

@cartuner555

Brasscollection :)

[82skinhead]

@cartuner555 you most have pouch if its not war

[thetabbots]

@cartuner555 Looks like a sand bag or maybe just a pouch filled with a few stones to weight it down a little bit and help reduce recoil and increase accuracy.

[rubberwoody]

lotsa kick

[JensTwn]

Hatar hyllsfångar påsen.

Ett jäkla bök när man övar strid och måste tömma den.

[BlackTiger112]

Va fan en svensk där från ingenstans xD. Men han använder den ju inte i en strid där eller hur?... Det är ju bra att ha dom till prov skjutning så det inte ligger hyllsor överallt

[JensTwn]

Nja man använder den under alla övningar men i skarp strid så används den inte.

När den börjar bli full så får man ofta eldavbrott då hylsorna studsar tillbaka in i hyls utkastet.

[BlackTiger112]

Jo det är sant men jag tror inte dom låter den fyllas helt väl? Jag vet inte riktigt för jag har aldrig skjutit, jag visste inte ens det fanns sånna här hyllsfångare för att vara ärlig. Rätt så onödigt.

[iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa]

G3's will fuck you up .. fires a .308 .... fucking amazing gun

[0612Devil]

Euro Military. Not American. Too bad they removed the irons to accommodate the Aimpoint.

[JackWorm75]

I agree, I dont know why they removed the ironsights.

[MrKyleSchick]

@JackWorm75 to put the rail on top? im not sure if that would get in the way but maybe

[LosBerkos]

@0612Devil Considering how high the aimpoint is, there really was no reason to remove the original sights. But all that money for "modernizing" the rifles had to go somewhere, I suppose

[priapus512]

That is a strange place to put your thumb.

[kack28]

Where do you get one of those brass catchers? I like the baggy style on this one.

[medugo2205]

I like it too, it really sucks picking up hot brass. then when your done you realize that you lost ten of them.

[FredDude27]

Its not-so-affectionally called "elephant scrotum" in some armed forces. :)

If I have to guess I'd say you can order it from an official Heckler Koch retailer somewhere.

[alinbjj]

maaaan, i woul like to live in America or any country who let you to have firearms like this, here in Romania you can have only pistols or hunting rifles, but very hard you get them, you need a lot of papers,etc you are not allowed to fire it in public, even if you are in a threat situation

[dgl1962]

In Romania you do not need many guns,your population has big balls and lots of bravery.

Look at what you did to Ceausescu!

Good job.
