  • Well he certainly didn't sit on the fence - "Without doubt the BEST machine gun on the planet" - or does he know something about space aliens that we don't.

  • No sheep were hurt during the making of this film. : D

  • Comment removed

  • 24 people got shot up by the GPMG.

  • this is how andy gets his lamb for boxing day dinner :D

  • Andy McFag.

  • youre scaring the sheeps you fool

  • @ma77yc hmm how do we know hes tougher then you he spent weeks in a fucking cell no idea what was going on and getting the shit beaten out of him nearly every day and before then most of his patrol had died so not getting pissy but i think that settles the arguement and before you say yeah well how many tours have you done blah blah blah i havent done any because the war at the moment has fuck all to do with our country its becuase of politicians trying to kiss eachothers arse's nuf said

  • @bullyboy1122 Only three members of his patrol died. Bob Consiglio, "Legs" Lane and Vince Phillips; but you're right nevertheless, Andy McNab would beat the shit out of this faggot.

  • @DefencificationHD yeah i just couldnt remember the names thanks :)

  • ile take the advice from the sas guy, you guys pick whatever gun you want, dont care if it makes more noise or is lighter. ile have this one thanks.

  • Im in the Royal navy, and i had great fun with this.. i did the "light role" army course down in cornwall for 5 days

  • "The GPMG is, without a doubt, the best machine gun ever made."

    That's all you need to know.

  • god save the queen

  • NOOOOO WATCH OUT FOR THE SHEEEP!

  • theeeeeeeeeeeeee GENERAL!

  • pause at 0:25 you can see his face :O

  • @ma77yc not much-im 12 now lets stop this fighting and enjoy people shooting stuff, M'KAY

  • @ma77yc fuck you your the freak he's tougher than you and im just sayin that you shouldnt insult warriors that have served for there country, i mean what have you done?

  • @ma77yc im from good old England ya pric, you dont know nothing about our special forces who have helped save the world in ways you cant imagine so next time you come on a video and call a great ex special forces operative a fag think twice, he might just be coming to get you!

  • @ma77yc an ex SAS special forces troop...do some research

  • o man o man just gotta love the GPMG when its used in the SF mode, I used to love carrying it, even though it so bloody heavy.

  • What is the General Purpose of a GPMG?

    Oh yeah, to fuck shit up

  • Sorry ur right

  • Thats one way to carve your lamb.

  • Typical modified fn mag clone.

  • oh ya were just gonna open fire on a field of lambs and sheep. what of it?

  • The song is sex pistols Antichrist

  • @djvinslick1 No, it's god save the queen by the sex pistols.

  • Best explanation ever haha.

  • @VulfII Agreed! What else is there to say? (other than its a bugger to lug round Brecon at night!)

  • @kneeslider47 Or all the belt rounds for it. Being pally with the spt gunner has its ups and downs haha.

  • Being an ex MG-3 gunner, I´d take that one over the GPMG any day of the week. It´s lighter, higher rate of fire, and a sound that´ll scare the shit out of anybody on the receiving end. (Just ask any allied veterans from ww2) ..

    And just in case you´re wondering; Yes I am biased! :P

  • @RickyboyH lol yeah but it burns up the ammo too quickly. still good German engineering though

  • @MrH1tler belgian

  • @youkilledkenny2341 are you talking about the gpmg or the mg3? cuz i thought th mg3 was of german design

  • @MrH1tler gpmg is an almost carbon copy of the belgian FN MAG, but i dont know about the mg3

  • @youkilledkenny2341 yeah but thats because belgian guns are so good, so theres no need to design a new one

  • @MrH1tler true true

  • @youkilledkenny2341 That's because it's a licence built FN MAG with some minor modifications. Essentially it is an FN MAG, we also used a licence built FN FAL as the L1A1 SLR...

  • @RickyboyH The GPMG is based on the MG42... With the wrong gas setting you can make it fire like the MG42. why would you? It eats ammo like it was going out of style... :)

  • @RickyboyH However! Lighter doesn't mean better, it will have more recoil. Just I thought, not trying to be a dick or anything :)

  • @RyedaleAirsoft bipod stops a lot of recoil and you may have someone helping stabilize , what do you think? 

  • @Sturm580 I know. But it still helps to have a heavy weapon to reduce recoil.

  • @RyedaleAirsoft true

  • nuff said XD

  • Awsome piece of kit fired it many times and eventually got use to lugging it around although it lay heavy at the best of times but when you needed firepower it was the piece to have for any section and as long as you kept it clean stoppages was very few

  • 0:02 That's the last time that sheep ever made a noise other than "CHHHK" as it was ripped to shreds by this gun.

  • Whats the song called?

  • Lol he is firing is between the damn sheeps. Is this a military range?

  • @kontknager at catterick training areas, there are a lot of sheep, trust me, i've been on them with the air cadets

  • Only pussies use the tri-pod.

  • i think the M2 may have something to say about that

  • Looks like it's Lamb for dinner. :)

  • Comment removed

  • @Luflandebrigade31 more kraut crap. The MG42/MG3 are RECOIL OPERATED the GPMG is GAS OPERATED.

    It is the FEED SYSTEM that is the same.

  • explains what? wanker

  • I like the bit when he fires the machine gun

  • It shoots a shit load of bullets, kills things and MacNab likes it. I think that's more than sufficient for an explanation.

  • MG42/MG3 is the best MG in 7.62x51 mm GPMG is just a later copy of that.

  • good explanation...

  • i love firing the pig

  • RUN SHEEP RUN AWAY

  • thats no turkey shoot its a sheep shoot !

  • The best? no they are all about the same.

  • He was shooting the sheep :(

  • LOL!! general purpose

  • what's understood...never has to be explained

  • He doesnt really explain it does he

  • The Browning .30 is a better machine gun.

    Typical British Army. Talk bollocks.

  • @UBIQUEROL the mg42 is way better then this or the 1919 30 cal

  • @101andrewj

    true dat.

  • @101andrewj

    Trudat nigga.

  • @UBIQUEROL The M1919? Thats very obsolete by now. I think the MG42/MG53/MG3 are the best MG's out there.

  • @TaZ101SAGA

    Strongly agree mate. The FN MAG mey be very popular in the NATO but nothing in the world tops the MG42 and it`s siblings.

  • @Phozz4 Agreed. Alot of machine guns of the modern day are copied in various ways from the MG42, especially the feeding mechanism. The MG42 may have some flaws, the barrel needs replacing every 250 rounds, but overall, it is probably the most celebrated and effective machine gun used in combat. The psychological damage it causes is another reason its so effective. Of course, Mcnab would say that the British army's machine gun's are the best. But the 'best MG on the planet', far from the truth.

  • would have been better if had shot at the sheep!

  • nice to see hes sat right behind the butt blate......real pro!!!! lol

  • Why cant my math teacher explain like this.

  • @draca1

    The GPMG is the British name for the FN MAG copy that they use.

  • GPMG IS NOT A SPECIFIC WEAPON, it is a weapon TYPE, and that one looks surprisingly enough like a Belgian FN MAG, but without the buttstock.. the FN MAG is the best GPMG in the world however.. i love how this video explains absolutely nothing about the weapon itself.

  • @draca1 oh big fucking deal, go make your own video then

  • @iRozc okay then.. no wait, whats this? oh gee, i guess i've already done that

  • @draca1 youre andy mcnab? ;) :o

  • @iRozc never said i was.. gee do i really have to spell it out? i have already made a video with a FN MAG,so i don't need to make another one.

  • @draca1 i'm only playing, sorry, i just don't like it when people become really pedantic. usually it's full of people that have no experience whatsoever and just google all the information to act as if they actually know what they're talking about

  • As a former member of the GPMG SF platoon, i fully agree with 'Andy' who i have met on a couple of occasions.... The GPMG is a versatile weapon and when used in the SF role with the C2 sight, can achieve a range upto 1800m when map predicted fired, thus hitting targets that cannot be seen by line of sight, by firing over objects.

  • Not surprising they didn't take the first part of "God Save the Queen" by the sex pistols. "God save the Queen, the fascist regime" may have been a bit... awkward playing while a soldier is explaining with what weapons his country uses .

  • Its cool that this firing range is right next to a sheep farm...

  • This makes your job a lot easier.

  • It's true.........nothing more needs to be said!

  • now thats what the farmers need

  • i used this gun mounted on my tank its awsome

  • If I had my way there would be pink sheep running about,

  • @Bibblebob

    Hmmm who should we believe, the guy who kills and fires guns for a living being the best or some guy sat behind his pc screen/iPhone?

  • More like "The best machine gun for politicians who make profitable deals with FN Herstal". There are far superior (and cheaper ) MGs available, most notably the MG3.

  • @bibblebob MG3 is a great gun. But it is also being phased out by the German army next year.

    As for the GPMG is it solid, reliable, easy to use, has a track record dating back to the 1950s and is well liked by the people who use it. In addition it is used by the Sas and the way I see it if there was a better machine-gun they would be using it today given they would be able to use just about any weapon that gets the job done.

  • @cardinal6100

    The MG3 has a track record dating back to 1942 and is a very simple, reliable and easy to operate piece of equipment. There exist very few militaries who have the "best" equipment possible, because it comes down which deal with which arms manufacturer can earn a politician the most money. The GPMG might be a great weapon, but at the end of the day as I said before, there do exist better.

  • DOSH

  • glad to see that they use the MG 34 style tripod to reduce the recoil

  • hell even us americans use that baby! its just called the M240

  • The best antistress!!!

  • I once had officer check mine at the end of an excercise. No round in the chamber, but one had gone through the slide. The officer opened the lid, nothing in there, cocked it, and, with the muzzle pointing at another officer, not the ground, pulled the trigger. It went off! Lucky for them it was a blank for the excercise.

  • okay, so why exactly are there sheep running around on the "firing range"

  • AHHH the art of sheep bouncing :-)

  • pretty sure the best is the browning m2?

  • @fanofCOH please elaborate on how Browning m2 is the best

  • @JustFromage basicly it has the longest and most extensive service record around the globe

  • @fanofCOH yeh but are you gonna argue with andy mcnab that has prob used many diff machine guns

  • Best machinegun on the planet? i doubt that...

  • @VpR81

    and what do you know about machine guns?

  • @mignaultj I was a automatic weapons trainer in the military for 8 years. There are a lot of great ones, but not realy a best one. I have met soldiers from every NATO country during my service time, and everyone said, that the german MG3 is the best machinegun they've ever fired. accurate, high ROF, barrel change within 3 seconds and reliable as hell. And those guys fired a lot of different machineguns.

  • nuff said

  • thats all the sheep dead.

  • Spray N Pray

  • Now of course it is standard British army practice to shoot a farmer, his landrover and all his sheep.

  • lol i bet all them sheep were like arghhh fuck i dont want to be andy's dinner tonight

  • not just the best machine gun, one of the best to operate it!

  • Bang bang bang, 'The GPMG is the best MG in the world' bang bang bang.

  • love it " the best machine gun on the planet" then razzes the fuck out of the pig.

    what else do you need to know.

    i agree with him too. though its a bitch to carry well not the gun but a thousand link in ya day sack will make you weep all the way up your third hill and thats even in the light role never mind SF.

  • i assume u were a squaddie

  • @airsoftmecrazy do a quick google search 'andy mcnab'

    

  • @FCbisleybob weak body

  • @FCbisleybob Question-Is there a handguard for this machine gun?

  • @owner8515 Yea the bipod when folded.

  • @SniffyAndWelly Thanks

  • @FCbisleybob I carried around on that bastard in the army for miles, fucking torture it was.

  • @0:02 MOO LOL thumps up :)

  • Nightmare to clean..!!

  • Great weapon, I've used it many times in the Canadian forces. Just one problem, Live rounds are fine, it just doesnt like blank rounds. They tend to give it the "bolt action" effect. But for everyone else, best way to fix this is have the gas regulator on highest and put a coin in the BFA, causes more carbon but makes 'er work better.

  • the GPMG on S/F role is music to me lugholes!!!!

  • The French Chauchat is the best machine gun in the world!

  • @TaZ101SAGA you are takin the piss son the frog chauchat was a pice ww 1 shit not even the americans would use that on the worst of worst days the french would be ashamed to use that on germans in world war 2 .

    please have a little pridewhen it comes to light automatic weapons my frend.

  • @willobi Im joking you idiot, i know its shit.

  • Comment removed

  • fail. shooting that gun in the SF Role you don't use your right hand because it is used to traverse the gun with your bearing dial. secondly, his trigger control was garbage. who is this guy? and why is he making a fool of himeself? haha

  • @bassblair11 He used to be in the SAS you knobhead. Keep quiet you mug.

  • @bassblair11 He is Andy McNab, former SAS Sergeant, 20 years service, Counter Terroism specialist, and a part of the failed SAS mission "Bravo Two Zero"

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say he may have a bit more experience with SF stuff than you....

  • @kllr101 lol hes prob a know it all yank n doesnt know who hes dealing wiv on screen

  • @bassblair11

    There's always one angry Canadian or Yank isn't there...trying to offer us his expertise over SF soldiers who have actually used these weapons for real lol. Keep quiet and go back to Call of Duty where you belong lmao

  • Bullshit! Nice too see a gimp with a gimpi now who was hopeing for a lamb roast?

  • we are the best army trained in the world and what does it say on the back of a american soilders ID card ( dont drink, dont gamble, and dont fight with the britsh troops because you will lose iv seen it in iraq funny as fuk you fagets

  • @mikefenton24 steady on... u u guys are extremely weel trained... but that doesnt mean other armies arent... we Australians lay out 9 months of training just for our lowest rank troops... there is even more training for specialist roles... and our SASR have been complimented highly by ur SAS so much so that Australian AND British SAS are the same rank when it comes to their rating of performance on the worlds best....

  • @mikefenton24 and i will agree.... america needs to pull its socks up..... they allow idiots to join u dont even need schooling... its sad that they have to print "face toward enemy"and a directional arrow on all there explosive munitions... lol also if a "Marine"has been trained to be a fuel operator then thats all he knows how to do... sur ehe can shoot a weapon... but couldnt hit shit as his weapons training remains basic as his primary role is a fuel nozzle...

  • @Blandy086: "america needs to pull its socks up" Why the rant, Blandy? We Yanks too tough on you? I think it is you lot who'd better "pull your socks up," since the Muslims are poised to take over your nation one of these years. In other words, maybe you'd best worry about your own problems, and not ours - real or imagined. Pissing contests about whose forces are better, etc. serves no sueful purpose, except maybe to start a fight in a pub or bar somewhere. Aren't we on the same team?

  • @GeorgiaBoy1961 no...... just dont like that fact that when we serve in combat on the same field as americans we have to be more worried about friendly fire than the enemy..... do you know how many friendly fire incidents you "tough yanks" have inflicted on urselves and ally countries forces?  all im arguing is that america should stop focusing on numbers in their army and focus more on training and minimum schooling requirements. numbers dont mean shit if the kill themselves!

  • Actions speak louder than words. What a perfect example.

  • I think the gun explains itself tbh

  • I loved being a gunner in my section as you get to share with the section bits of the gun to clean. I always cleaned the stock.

  • Right..for all the B*** S****ers out there...... who have either never fired an SA-80 or certainly not the latest variants, the current issue of the weapon is a cracking piece of kit. With the SUSAT sight, I was able to consistently hit the centre of my target, even using the new short-barreled carbine version - and I am no great marksman. As for the right-shoulder only crap, I am left-handed and had no problems at all. Preferred it to the C8 SFW

  • @trenchofstench Haven't they fitted the L85 A2 with an ACOG, RIS handuard and foregrip now? Becuase that's what my brother is using at the momment with his tour in Afghanistan, he says that it's ugly as fuck but great.

  • @grobo11 i think its prety sexy :)

  • where all that pink smoke coming from? is he shooting simmunition?

  • Lol he doesn't even need to explain it, he just fires it!

  • God save the queen!!!

  • PKM

  • Andy McNab is a wanker

  • sex pistols ftw!!

  • MG3 is without a doubt the best machine gun on the planet, buddy ;)

  • Patsfanczar, you dont have a clue what you are on about. That was a GPMG (Aka MiniMi or sometimes called "Jimpy" The american eqivilant is the SAW, the SA-80 is the British Army standard assualt rifle, The LSW is pretty much identical, apart from it has a outrigger, a longer barrell (just) and a bipod, but pretty much has the same capabilities.

  • @scottjameswilson1987 The "Gimpy" is not the FN Minimi. The "Gimpy" is the L7A1/A2 General Purpose Machine Gun. The FN minimi is a different animal, and fires the NATO 5.56mm as opposed to the 7.62mm round the GPMG fires.

  • @scottjameswilson1987 You don't have a clue what YOU are talking about. Try doing some research or even better, serve in the armed forces before you form an opinion on something you know nothing about.

  • @scottjameswilson1987 the gpmg and minime are different guns

    the gmpg is a 7.62mm monster

    the minime/m429 saw/lmg (same just different names) is a 5.56mm smaller monster

  • @scottjameswilson1987 GPMG is NEVER called the Minimi, thats the LMG. The yank evivilent used to be the M60 although i think they have a americanised version of the FN MAG now,

  • wow He sure Explained alot..

  • @Banno22 haha yeah

  • @Banno22 He sure did, at about 800 rounds a minute too...
