Tactical Arms - German Assault Rifles (Part 2 of 2)

[Quinnstafer]

The PTR-91 GI & The G3 Are my first hand pick in any type of warfare. Those rifles are so damn sexy!

[Resondin]

G-36 dose have a littel butten poping up behind the trigger whene the bolt is lockt. whene you push it with a fresh magzin in your rifel chambers atomatic a new round without you puling the bolt on top so the relod is much faster.you get the extra secends in combat. I dont know if this is becouse he uses the export version or the k version.But I remeber it to 100% that there is in a G-36A. Speeds up the reloding.

From what I see, original and M16a1 fully/semi auto, a2 3rd burst/semi, a3 fully/semi auto, a4 has 3rd/semi and possibly fully aswell.

[Kekkon3n]

@boffinboy100 Yea, something like that. Also that the a3 was just a2 with fullauto and only adopted in small numbers by the navy, prolly for special operations teams. Wiki had no info if a4 is fully or burst or both..

Good Job! By far the most interesting and useful among the many weapons videos on the tube.

I want STG-44 very first assault rifle

[boffinboy100]

@WanganTune3DXPluDeaf

Technically the first assault rifle was a Russian design, by Federov, firing the Jap 6.5mm cartridge. But it wasn't liked for being uncontrollable, heavy, unreliable, & 'different'. It was developed between 1906-11, Tsarist russia. StG44 family (including prototypes like MKb42) were the first fielded ARs.

@boffinboy100 by Deffinition you're wrong....... an "assault-rifle" must chamber an inter-mediate round and be Select fire fully auto and semi.......

the Jap 6.5mm cartrage is not an intermediate rifle round, nor is it select fire.......

During the early 1900's im shure many weapons may have been considerd "assault " weapons

such as the "kar98k" which was considerd a "karbine" when in actuality its not very "karbine" like.....

so "technically" you're wrong.

[boffinboy100]

@Howie262

Yes but was planned for a different 6.5 round. As the Jap 6.5 was plentiful, the designer switched. Also, as the Russian standard round is/was 7.62x54, it can be argued that 6.5x50 could be considered intermediate between Russian rifle & pistol rounds.

The Mauser '98 started as a Gewehr (rifle), then they realised what was needed was considered a Cavalry carbine, & developed the Mauser Karabiner 98 Kurz (Kar98k). A carbine is a shortened rifle.

@Howie262

Also the term 'assault rifle', came about in 1944, thanks to one infamous A.Hitler.

But otherwise, you do have a point, in taking a standard rifle cartridge, the Federov is a battle rifle, but comparing it to the russian calibres, it can be argued that it is intermediate.

Another point, the M16 is an assault rifle, yet Early M16s didn't have full auto, but 3 round burst, so your "must...be Select fire fully auto and semi" is incorrect.

[Kekkon3n]

@boffinboy100 M16a1 full/semi but the versions after that were burst to my knowledge.

[boffinboy100]

@Kekkon3n

I thought it was the M16 hat was full/semi auto, and M6a1/a2 that were 3rd burst. I think it came back in the M16a4. I'll check, TY otherwise.

[Howie262]

@boffinboy100 Burst fire is still a form of automatic fire.... obviously thats what i meant though....

And im shure the Japanese 6.5x50 maybe could be considered an "intermediate round" to Russian or German standards but i assure you, it wasnt for the japanese....

Japanese weaponry was notoriously made shitty, so they obviously opted for a less powered round that would be more reliable/ easier to shoot with smaller soldiers...

i mean though, its hardly that "intermediate though..

[boffinboy100]

@Howie262

Yeah, jap weapons were pretty shoddy, but their main ariska was a decent rifle, low recoil, accurate.

Intermediate is a matter perspective. the standard russian was 7.62x54, and the jap 6.5x50. only 4 mm difference in length, modern 7.62/5.45x39mm, 15mm difference.

NATO standard is 7.62x51mm, their intermediate is 5.56x45, only 6mm difference,

German 7,92x57 & intermediate 7.92x33, 24mm difference. (length wise)
