@RedDeadAintDead Ya, but shooting a gun is the most fun you can have with your cloths on lol.......its just like sex, Loud Explosions, big kicks and recoil........lol, sounds like Hue Hefner in his hay day......
@ryanexsus well his name sounds German, his channel page says he's German and last time I checked the Russians never fought in Normandy.
but don't act like an asshole because his grandfathers where German soldiers. Soldiers are just soldiers, they follow orders and that's it. Please don't blame them for doing what they where told to do.
My grandfather's nephews where all killed in the defence of my country but he doesn't hold a grudge against the man who killed them
@l4mp13 Na the comment way down said his gramps fought in Stalingrad. Which is the Eastern front, which could only be Russian or German. It's not an insult in any way I was just curious.
Me, my dad,my uncles, my grandpa, and grand uncles do this every weekend my grandpa served with the marines in the pacific and korea so did his brothers his youngest brother served only in korea tho my dad and uncles are also vets we all love to shoot i have a m1 garand n a 1903 springfield love them both...nice shooting btw
I'm 55 and I just recently shot the M1 Garand and it was quite an experience. I teared up thinking about how my Grandpa (a 36 year old infantry Private in WWII) was under return fire when he was shooting this weapon. The young guys in his squad called him Gramps back then. Rest in peace Grampa Pepe, I'll see ya soon enough.
awesome grandad, my grandad was in the navy... marksman and i think he operated the big warship guns, i dont think he has any of the weapons or anything... not sure
@jrpeters5 if that guy was in WW2 then he probably shoots like a champ cuz he had to! but those guns are sweet. my pap has an M1 Carbine thats never been shot. i think he wsa int he national guard or something, but were planning on going out to shoot it sometime soon. its gonna be epic.
i hate to be one of those douchey kids who thinks they know more about guns than anyone else, but here is my advice, take it or leave it, when shooting in a standing position, lean farther forward, so it keeps the recoil lower, wont throw you off balance, and keeps your profile lower, i know your not in a combat situation, but like i always say, train like you fight.
Thats just one bullet at a time imagine like a whole army firing these jesus that would be so loud. and i imaging that pinging sound ment bad for americans good for germans to kill you.
That's the sound of the clip ejecting from the gun. It ejects automatically after the last round is fired, and when it bounces off a surface it makes a "ping" sound.
It was specifically made to do that so the GI knew he was out of rounds and needed a new mag in, the germans in ww2 used this to their advantage and listened for it. Howver, soldiers countered it by taking empty cartridges and throwing them on the ground. M1Garand= on of the best guns EVER. When i turn 18 in 3 years i want this to be my first gun.. altho i have my grandpas k98 mauser but its got bolt prblems :/
I love the M1 Garand. I remember watching old WW2 newsreels or WW2 movies and admiring the M1. I admired it so much that I now have one myself and it's fantastic to shoot. You have real authority with one of these in your hands. That .30-'06 round is a beast! Anything within 600 yards is a goner.
just joining in on the conversation with the m16 and what not....from what i've seen from the history channel the m16 got issued during vietnam to replace the m14 rifle...a stupid idea in my opinion...after the m16 got into use the amount of dead people to bullets expended went up dramatically if you ask me it sounds like we went from shooting accurately to just throwing enough rounds down range in the hopes that something or someone got killed in the process
The M16 jams if it gets dirty, that is, if it is used on a real battlefield. Ask your uncle!
The M16 is one of those ideas that looks good on paper but not in the real world. It shoots a small bullet at a very high velocity. The idea was to cut down on ammunition weight. Any Vietnam vet will tell you about the jamming problem.
@mrhnm True, however, tests conducted in 2006 with both the M16A4 and M4A1 and both consistently jammed 600+ times per every 10,000 Shots. the SCAR jammed slightly less than 500 times, and the XM8 jammed slightly more than 400 times.
@mrhnm The M14 hasn't recently been tested for reliability, but my great uncle (Who had one in 'Nam) would swear by it, even to this day. I know for a fact it jammed less than a M16
@Skeptic121 New sniper cartridges shoot a 72gr bullet that is reportedly lethal to 700 yards by Army testing. However, the M16 does jam significantly more, but is pinpoint accurate over just about any largely fielded assault rifle out there. The jamming problem, while still significant, isn't nearly as bad as it used to be.
The M16 2A jams? I thought they took care of that, but am not surprised. It didn't/doesn't use the usual mechanical rod and piston type correct? Just gas back-pressure? (disclaimer: as you can see I'm just learning about these rifles hehe, but still..)
@RattlerBK Oh yeah, it uses direct impingement. Gases are taken directly from the barrel and pushed to the bolt in the upper receiver. This eliminates most of the recoil, however, it also deposits alot of carbon and deposites from the burning gun powder directly in the mechanics of the gun, leading to a shitload of jams. But, it is extremely accurate and fast firing. Most other rifles use a piston, which is very reliable, but less accurate.
The M14 fires 7.62mm or .308 rounds (the same round in metric and English units).
BTW, the M14 is still used today by elite soldiers whose lives are valued by the military or whose mission is considered important. The average grunts are expected to die with the M16. Colt and its successor companies have given a LOT of money to politicians, a very good business practice. Not so good for our boys getting killed by the M16 but it's the way military procurement works.
@Skeptic121 A .308 has a thinner shell casing and thus handles more powder, and thus more pressure, while a 7.62 NATO has a thick case and is set to handle pressures of 50,000PSI , while most commercial .308's can handle anywhere from 40-70,000 psi, thus, they are not always interchangeable.
@aphsknight74 Regarding the M16: Col. David Hackworth, the most decorated officer of the Vietnam era, complained to his superiors that the M16 would kill many American boys, as it has done. They laughed at him for caring and told him to buy stock in Colt. He was universally recognized as the best battalion commander in Vietnam, but went public against the war. The man had a pair of balls, unlike officers today. Today, Hack would be lucky to make E5. See "About Face"
Skeptic121, let me put this to you BRITIAN had NO duty to defend ANY country other than itself. NONE. Not Belguin in 1914 nor Poland in 1939, however she did.
@zaybxcwd12 That's right and that's why Britain lost her empire and is a third world hell-hole today. Giving Poland a war guarantee was the stupidest thing Britain could have done.
But don't listen to me, Pat Buchanan has said it much better than I ever could. So we entered WWII (the one with Hitler in charge of Germany) and instead of Hitler we end up with Stalin and Mao Zedong. BIG improvement for my country? NOT !
god people like jeedo need to go die or at least stop talking shit about americans i bet if america wasnt here the world we be a much worse place. nazi germany woulda destroyed great britian it makes you think what would the world be like today...
Dude, you're not doing much for our reputation by misspelling Britain. I wish the US had stayed out of World War ONE. For those who don't know, Hitler served in WWI as a corporal. The German Head of State at the time was called the Kaiser. Had Germany and Britain agreed to a cease fire with no punitive terms, there would have been no Nazi Germany and no Communism. What's not to like?
@MrBdobb Yes, and the USA could have stayed out of World War ONE, which would have forced Britain and Germany to accept an armistice that punished neither side. With no punitive peace treaty, there would have been little or no support for the Nazis, no Hitler, and no holocaust.
Versailles treaty was hardly punative, and France would have been the big loser in your scenario. After all the damage that Germany did to France (and Belgium) the reparations were very moderate. Consider that Germany had imposed reparations on France in 1870, even when such occupation of Germany had not happened.
Hitler rose to power because he promised his Nation so much, They would have been in a depression either way, And they would have needed money, And arms. As for the German empire and Britain coming to a treaty... No chance. There is a reason why the U.S. got involved. The German Empire, Just as Nazi Germany, Would have CRUSHED the allies without a significant amount of support. The Brits needed us just as much as we needed them. The war would have been lost had not the allies been that strong.
@aphsknight74 Let me put it another way: the USA has NO duty to defend ANY country other than itself. NONE. Not Britain in 1917 and not Israel, Europe, Japan, or South Korea today. Until we get that right we will continue down the path to dictatorship and economic collapse.
Let's get down to the nasty: did the USA have a duty to protect the Jews from Hitler? NO.
It would have been nice to let them leave Europe and come the the US, but whether to be nice in that way would have been OUR CHOICE.
Had the U.S. Never gotten involved in either war, The world would be ruled by Germans. Woodrow Wilson, And Roosevelt(FDR) Both understood that. The U.S. has every right to step in and defend itself. The Germans would have take Britain, Then the U.S. It's called early intervention, Same way to fight cancer.
The Germans and the Brits fought to a standstill before the US entered WWI (the one in which Adolf Hitler was a corporal). If the Germans couldn't defeat the Brits how the hell were they going to invade North America? The communists were no improvement over the Kaiser. Again, the Kaiser was NOT a Nazi, because the Nazis were in WWII not WWI.
Sorry to belabor WWI versus WWII but a surprising percentage of public high school grads don't know the difference.
Believe me, I know the difference. Also the Nazi's weren't communist, They were Fascist, To conflicting forms of government. As for the stand still, They wouldn't have stayed that way, Germany was constantly, And rapidly expanding it's military might. The German Empire, And the Nazi's were both excellent weapons producers.
We are all entitled to our own opinions but not to our own facts. It is a fact that Germany and Britain had fought to a standstill in World War One before the US entered. If the war had been settled without the US, Germany would have been in no condition to start a war with the USA. Germany has never been a great naval power and certainly was not one in WWI. WWII vets loved to mouth the platitude "we'd all be speaking German" but repetition does not make it so.
You're kidding me right? Germany had U-boats, When no one else did, And had the ability to use them against the allies. Had they stayed at the stand still, The Brilliant German Tacticians would have broken the lines, And pushed through with their superior tactical skills, And equipment. Either way, Both countries would have been financially screwed, And Hitler still would have had a leg to stand on.
You need to do more research on War technology, Weapons, And Tactics. The first country to use the U-Boats=Germany, Year invented 1850, Year first achieved by an Allied nation, 1922. Germans had more Machine guns, Better tactics, And better technology. Fewer numbers sure, But in the end, Those numbers would have meant nothing. And besides, I am a military tactician for the U.S. Army. I have a Masters in Military Arts from Valley Forge Army College. I know my war history and technology.
E-5...Haha. I haven't been called Sarge in years kid. After I went through OCS and spent a few years in Valley Forge, People call me Colonel now, You're close, Except you have to switch the E for an O, And swap the 5 for a 6. I'm probably old enough to be your dad kid.
@aphsknight74: I am 56 and literate. You are a semi-literate government bureaucrat. It is alarming to me that someone of your limited intellect could have reached O6. That is one reason I want to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, then radically downsize our military: standards are being destroyed. Hint: "job" is not capitalized and "poof" means a queer. You meant "proof" but you don't read what you write.
The same fools who gave us the M16 are still killing our boys for nothing.
As for Illiteracy, I am quite literate. In order to graduate from Valley forge military College, You need to be literate. As for the job thing, I just type that way. And no, I meant Poof. You know, signifying how quickly it happened. You're misinterpretation lead to you being the illiterate one. As for the M16, Not only is it lighter than the M14, and has more ammo per magazine, but has a faster traveling round, and significantly lower recoil, Making it easier to train soldiers with.
thats a pretty arrogant post youre right about iraq and afghanistan but are you seriously making that idiotic comment about u.s. soldiers not holding respect or having anything good to say about foreign troops? youre high.....
wtf is wrong with u guys. WHY DO U CARE WHAT COUNTRY IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER. We r not in war with canada so stop bragging about ur country and putting other countries down

@RattlerBK Oh yeah, it uses direct impingement. Gases are taken directly from the barrel and pushed to the bolt in the upper receiver. This eliminates most of the recoil, however, it also deposits alot of carbon and deposites from the burning gun powder directly in the mechanics of the gun, leading to a shitload of jams. But, it is extremely accurate and fast firing. Most other rifles use a piston, which is very reliable, but less accurate.

@Justincase8696
The M14 fires 7.62mm or .308 rounds (the same round in metric and English units).
BTW, the M14 is still used today by elite soldiers whose lives are valued by the military or whose mission is considered important. The average grunts are expected to die with the M16. Colt and its successor companies have given a LOT of money to politicians, a very good business practice. Not so good for our boys getting killed by the M16 but it's the way military procurement works.

@Skeptic121 A .308 has a thinner shell casing and thus handles more powder, and thus more pressure, while a 7.62 NATO has a thick case and is set to handle pressures of 50,000PSI , while most commercial .308's can handle anywhere from 40-70,000 psi, thus, they are not always interchangeable.

@aphsknight74 Regarding the M16: Col. David Hackworth, the most decorated officer of the Vietnam era, complained to his superiors that the M16 would kill many American boys, as it has done. They laughed at him for caring and told him to buy stock in Colt. He was universally recognized as the best battalion commander in Vietnam, but went public against the war. The man had a pair of balls, unlike officers today. Today, Hack would be lucky to make E5. See "About Face"

Skeptic121, let me put this to you BRITIAN had NO duty to defend ANY country other than itself. NONE. Not Belguin in 1914 nor Poland in 1939, however she did.
zaybxcwd12 2 years ago
@zaybxcwd12 That's right and that's why Britain lost her empire and is a third world hell-hole today. Giving Poland a war guarantee was the stupidest thing Britain could have done.
But don't listen to me, Pat Buchanan has said it much better than I ever could. So we entered WWII (the one with Hitler in charge of Germany) and instead of Hitler we end up with Stalin and Mao Zedong. BIG improvement for my country? NOT !

Dude, you're not doing much for our reputation by misspelling Britain. I wish the US had stayed out of World War ONE. For those who don't know, Hitler served in WWI as a corporal. The German Head of State at the time was called the Kaiser. Had Germany and Britain agreed to a cease fire with no punitive terms, there would have been no Nazi Germany and no Communism. What's not to like?
Skeptic121 2 years ago
WW1 and WW2 was going on way before the U.S joined.
MrBdobb 2 years ago
@MrBdobb Yes, and the USA could have stayed out of World War ONE, which would have forced Britain and Germany to accept an armistice that punished neither side. With no punitive peace treaty, there would have been little or no support for the Nazis, no Hitler, and no holocaust.
Skeptic121 2 years ago
Versailles treaty was hardly punative, and France would have been the big loser in your scenario. After all the damage that Germany did to France (and Belgium) the reparations were very moderate. Consider that Germany had imposed reparations on France in 1870, even when such occupation of Germany had not happened.
DonMeaker 2 years ago
Hitler rose to power because he promised his Nation so much, They would have been in a depression either way, And they would have needed money, And arms. As for the German empire and Britain coming to a treaty... No chance. There is a reason why the U.S. got involved. The German Empire, Just as Nazi Germany, Would have CRUSHED the allies without a significant amount of support. The Brits needed us just as much as we needed them. The war would have been lost had not the allies been that strong.
aphsknight74 2 years ago
@aphsknight74 Let me put it another way: the USA has NO duty to defend ANY country other than itself. NONE. Not Britain in 1917 and not Israel, Europe, Japan, or South Korea today. Until we get that right we will continue down the path to dictatorship and economic collapse.
Let's get down to the nasty: did the USA have a duty to protect the Jews from Hitler? NO.
It would have been nice to let them leave Europe and come the the US, but whether to be nice in that way would have been OUR CHOICE.
Skeptic121 2 years ago
Had the U.S. Never gotten involved in either war, The world would be ruled by Germans. Woodrow Wilson, And Roosevelt(FDR) Both understood that. The U.S. has every right to step in and defend itself. The Germans would have take Britain, Then the U.S. It's called early intervention, Same way to fight cancer.

@aphsknight74
The Germans and the Brits fought to a standstill before the US entered WWI (the one in which Adolf Hitler was a corporal). If the Germans couldn't defeat the Brits how the hell were they going to invade North America? The communists were no improvement over the Kaiser. Again, the Kaiser was NOT a Nazi, because the Nazis were in WWII not WWI.
Sorry to belabor WWI versus WWII but a surprising percentage of public high school grads don't know the difference.
Skeptic121 2 years ago
Believe me, I know the difference. Also the Nazi's weren't communist, They were Fascist, To conflicting forms of government. As for the stand still, They wouldn't have stayed that way, Germany was constantly, And rapidly expanding it's military might. The German Empire, And the Nazi's were both excellent weapons producers.
aphsknight74 2 years ago
@aphsknight74
We are all entitled to our own opinions but not to our own facts. It is a fact that Germany and Britain had fought to a standstill in World War One before the US entered. If the war had been settled without the US, Germany would have been in no condition to start a war with the USA. Germany has never been a great naval power and certainly was not one in WWI. WWII vets loved to mouth the platitude "we'd all be speaking German" but repetition does not make it so.
Skeptic121 2 years ago
You're kidding me right? Germany had U-boats, When no one else did, And had the ability to use them against the allies. Had they stayed at the stand still, The Brilliant German Tacticians would have broken the lines, And pushed through with their superior tactical skills, And equipment. Either way, Both countries would have been financially screwed, And Hitler still would have had a leg to stand on.

Sorry, but you need to read up. Not your fault...American public schools are a crime against humanity.
Skeptic121 2 years ago
You need to do more research on War technology, Weapons, And Tactics. The first country to use the U-Boats=Germany, Year invented 1850, Year first achieved by an Allied nation, 1922. Germans had more Machine guns, Better tactics, And better technology. Fewer numbers sure, But in the end, Those numbers would have meant nothing. And besides, I am a military tactician for the U.S. Army. I have a Masters in Military Arts from Valley Forge Army College. I know my war history and technology.

@aphsknight74: I am 56 and literate. You are a semi-literate government bureaucrat. It is alarming to me that someone of your limited intellect could have reached O6. That is one reason I want to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, then radically downsize our military: standards are being destroyed. Hint: "job" is not capitalized and "poof" means a queer. You meant "proof" but you don't read what you write.
The same fools who gave us the M16 are still killing our boys for nothing.
Skeptic121 2 years ago
As for Illiteracy, I am quite literate. In order to graduate from Valley forge military College, You need to be literate. As for the job thing, I just type that way. And no, I meant Poof. You know, signifying how quickly it happened. You're misinterpretation lead to you being the illiterate one. As for the M16, Not only is it lighter than the M14, and has more ammo per magazine, but has a faster traveling round, and significantly lower recoil, Making it easier to train soldiers with.
