Wasn't the MG43 also called Hitler's buzzsaw due to the high rate of fire? And it became strictly illegal to fire it for more then a few seconds at a time due to waste of amunition. Not TO sure about the last part, but I do remember the first one well.
A friend of mine's Dad brought back a P38 from the war. He was a "belly gunner" in a B17 and flew his 25 missions, mostly out of Italy. I was a kid in the 60's and remember how cool that P38 was. Luger is a GREAT collector's item but kind of outdated by 1940's. I've carried a Glock on the job for about last 6 years after retiring my .357 "wheel gun" after 20+ years of carry. Luger's like American Revolver, comfortable and familiar.
WHY DOES EVERY FUKING PROGRAM NEVER NOTICE THE WELSH IN WWII. WE DID JUST AS MUCH AND IN SOME CASE MORE! THE AMERICANS CAME HERE 2. soz im in a bad mood.... 3 historican programs and not 1 mention.....
@xitbwx- While I respect the Welsh; most people don't even know where Wales is! Sorry buddy, but you're just another "Englishman" to the rest of the world...
in1941 the soviet russian army and stalin want it to take over europe the germans have attacked the soviets 1 week before they can't attack and inflirtate europe
the german and the hungaryan handweapons are the best in ww2
True. Although, it is possible that since it was a communist country at the time, they were willing to loose their soldiers to perhaps reduce the population.
But that's just a base-less assumption I'm making. I can never know for sure...
@VonCakeMaster 20 million total, from what my history teacher said, including civilians. (the figures I got...forgive me if my memory is screwed up) 12 million soldiers, 8 million civilians. They had more population to lose, and they could also fight in winter. Besides, the Germans attacked 6 weeks later than scheduled (due to the Greece campaign), 6 weeks closer to winter...so if the Germans had attacked on schedule, they would have taken Moscow. Dumb luck, perhaps?
The russian use of mass produced scoped bolt action sniper rifles and a cheap mass produced sub machine gun - blunted much of the german advantages. the germans only produced 1 million mp 40s! This was totally inadequate - the russian made 6 million ppsh-41's 1 and it is arguably a better weapon,
Everyone on youtube likes to expand the "It wasn't the Germans, it was the Nazis" to "it wasn't the Nazis, it was only the SS" and then "it wasn't the Nazis and SS, it was only Hitler".
After World War II, about one in three German citizens claimed that the extermination of all Jews was necessary and justified.
@VideosByRaymonD if your a shooter and your want a cheaper version of the p38 get the P1 the germans used it as a police pistol after the war, my uncle has one its extremely accurate.
A friend of mine who was a Marine Sgt. back in the 70's got a hold of one of those early German "Assault Rifles". It was not the downsized cartridge, but the full size 7.92 round (used in Mauser 98). It was cool to shoot, but in the large caliber it was impossible to control in rapid fire. Still, using it as a standard rifle it could be comparable to the M1 Garand in recoil and 2nd shot accuracy. I was lucky to get to fire it, there's not many around.
Yea, Luger jamed all the time, its part of the reason why they switched over to the Walther P-38. And despite what the guy in this vid tells you about the P-38 being the best pistol of the war, the handgun you really wanted was the Browning Hi-Power(what the guy at 2:44-2:50 has.) Its 13 round mag made it popular with motorcycle riders and paratroopers as well as with the SS. Its the only sidearm that was used by both sides during the war.
@SdM45 Hi-Power had a weird tendency to "bite" the hand of the shooter, though...personally, I kind of liked the (forgive me for saying this), M1911. After all, 9 mm rounds are rather underpowered, especially with the less powerful propellants of the WWI-WWII era, whereas the .45 ACP will just blow a hole in you. It might be my American bias, but I just like the M1911 more.
@KRAUTKICKER Oh don't get me wrong, I think the 1911 is the best handgun ever made, Im just saying that if I was going to be stuck with a 9mm, might as well get all the ammo you can. Mag capacity for a P-38:8+1 rounds. Mag capacity for a Hi-Power:13+1 rounds, and since the grip circumference is about the same, which one would you rather carry?
@SdM45 Also, one other plus point for the BHP, The mag release for the Browning is on the right side of the gun, beside the trigger guard(just like that other pistol John Browning made) so you can depress it with your thumb. The mag release for the P-38 is on the Heel(lowest part of the grip) of the gun and can only be manipulated with the other hand(Yea CoD doesn't bother with accurate reload techniques.) Ergo not only does the Hi-Power hold more ammo, but it can be reloaded faster!
@SdM45 1911 is the best handgun ever made? In terms of a classic design, I'll agree. However, what about today's H&K USP.45? Last I heard it had a 15 round capacity or so, plus the one in the chamber. You have to admit, 7 rounds a mag in the 1911 could be a bit better...then again, back in the days it was made, single stack was pretty much the only option for a .45 round.
@KRAUTKICKER I find the HK USP in .45 to be rather big for me. I also am not a big fan of the incorporated safety/decocker lever. Its possible to find 8 round flush fitting mags for a 1911 these days. Although I will admit 12 rounds(the actual capacity) is a lot better than 7 or 8. I'm still pissed that they didn't talk about the Hi-Power in this series though. (post continues)
@SdM45 Seriously it had almost everything you could want: High accuracy, excellent ergonomics, a Hi-capacity 13 round magazine(made long before the hi-cap wondernines of the 80's mind you) and hell and back reliability. The only real drawbacks where the aforementioned hammer bite, and the magazine disconnect(which the Occupied version did not have) If the Wehrmacht had any sense, they should have made this their standard issue handgun. And quite a few countries did after the war. Some still do.
@SdM45 Hmm while I like the P38(it is my fav WW2 pistol and I own one :D), I wonder why the Browning Hi Power gets little to no recognition? I know it tended to "bite", but how would it compare in reliability to the P38?
@TeHGoodReverend The Germans(being Germans) tend to over-engineer damn near everything they make, meaning that while more complicated, it tends to work pretty damn well. Seriously its easier to name the German made guns that DON'T work than the ones that do. Continued in next post(seriously 500 word minimum is bullshit!)
@SdM45 As for why the BHP gets little recognition, I don't honestly know, but i do have a few theories:
1. It still wasn't the standard issue handgun for the German military, and the ones that primary used it where bomber crews and the Waffen SS, who for quite obvious reasons where the least popular of the German forces. Also due to its association, the Luger and P-38 are seen as a "villain's gun" while the BHP is seen as a "heroes gun."
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no not really, and they didn't kill more than 12 million people (and cause the death of at least 60 million in the process) just because of their race. I'd take Soviet Union over Nazi Germany ANY day. Fascism is far more evil. And even though the Soviets had an authoritarian regime, as the Nazis had one, their ideology was not founded on destroying other races.
let me correct you Fascism was in Italy, nazism in Germany, have you seen documantry film "soviet story"? there was shown everything. how SS and NKVD was friends before war. how stalin give back all jewish(who run from germany to soviet union) to hitller as act of friendship, i say soviet is more evil becouse socialist who kill people of same country is more evil than nacional socialist (nazi) who kill theyre countrys enemys (as they thined)
Nazis weren't socialist, even if their economy vaguely resembled a socialist style of one.
Also, there were plenty of Jews, Communists, and Socialists inside of Germany who were locked up, gassed, or shot. If you disagree with that last statement, explain Anne Frank, who was born German.
Furthermore, it was only a non aggression pact between the two nations. Hitler hated Stalin's guts, and vice versa.
You failed to correct me, I know how wrong your assessment is.
maby i failed to correct you but now i think soviet as evil as nazi, both ideologies was bad, nazi was socialist to (look a meaning of word nazi) and hittler jus modified therory, i read some books by russian disidents abuot life in soviet union, and all bad things that was made by soviets, look, russia said that ww2 was 1941-1945, becouse 1939-1941 russia was nazist germany allie and attacked poland, know that
nazis aren't socialist, no matter how much people say it. Nazism is right wing, socialism is left wing. Nazis claimed to be socialist, when they were really state capitalist. and they hated left wingers, and locked and shot or gassed communists, socialists, and anarchists.
@MAKER6450 To be honest I'd say the reds were probably worse. Though if Hitler won then he would have been worse. I guess this is where "to the victor go the spoils" should apply.
@MAKER6450 The Germans murdered 6 million Jews during Hitlers reign, Stallin murdered an estimated 60 million of his own countrymen during his reign. If you do the math that's 10x as evil.
@MAKER6450 Germany is a decent country still, and they still make awesome guns. however, I kind of dislike Germany's socialist economic system, and how COD games are censored there...(Yes, I know the Swastika is unconstitutional there...) Then again, at least you don't get lynched for killing video game Russians in Germany...unlike Russia...
@ipimees no, their ideology was based on eliminating social class and getting rid of exploiters who used people like they were pawns.
The nazis killed people because they happened to be a race other than german, while the soviets killed people because they exploited other people for profit an wasted their lives. I'm not debating that stalin was a tool, both him and hitler sucked, but both of them were seriously right wing fascists.
MP38 had these "canals" or "cuts" down the reciever of the gun. The MP38 had its cocking handle permenantly to the bolt, leading to an unsafe safety situation. The MP38 also was expensive to make since it used traditional gunsmithing methods. The MP40 fixed the safety by adding a safety knotch and by making the bolt and cocking piece seperate pieces.
Basically the MP40 was a lot less expensive to manufacture. Used stamped steel and plastic.

I don't know much about guns; what is the reciever?

All modern guns have a reciever. According to this online dictionary:
The basic metal unit housing the action and to which the barrel and other components are attached.

The FG42 shorter than the MP-38?
WRONG.
MP38 stock extended = 833mm
FG42 = 937 / 1060mm (first / second model)
