Trent Lawrence fires H&K 91 308 semi automatic rifle

[Kickasss119]

i thought 91's had the SG1 handguard, or can they come with any handguard?

[jonnyjumpsalot]

Hey Trent, been a fan of your vids for some while now!

Recently got to fire the G3 in fullauto. Its orgasmic!

I have the video up. Check it out if you like.

[FOXnewsAlien]

correction, looks as if it does have a break on the front.

[FOXnewsAlien]

OUCH BRO> that thing is throwing you back. Crazy, Muzzle break would help a lot I am guuessing. But what a kick.

[starfre77]

i was in the norwegian army for abaout 11 yrs.the G3 is easy to take apart.but a little harder to assemble.but still the battlefiedking. next to ak 47.

[5h4d0w990]

Like a G3, like-like-like a G3, I'll make da brass fly baby like a G3!

[Seipcheyenne]

I have one of these... the kick isnt as bad as i thought . but when i recieved mine from a family member i was the happiest girl alive... i love guns and target shooting. i guess thats why i joined the army

[LawrenceTrent]

Video description fixed up.

[Klutt337h]

I always thought the G3 was 7.62, you learn something new every day.

[LawrenceTrent]

@Klutt337h The G3 is 7.62, this one isn't. :) This is a built 91 wearing original G3 furniture. The barrel was headspaced during the build to 308 chamber dimensions (using 308 Win go/nogo, not 7.62 go/nogo dimensions). The experiment was to see if 308 brass would survive to be reloadable. It's not. The violent action still stretches brass too much even when headspaced to SAAMI dimensions. It's still dangerous to attempt reloading fired casings from these rifles.

[Klutt337h]

@LawrenceTrent Thanks for clearing that up, kinda confounded there

[ekici123]

@LawrenceTrent WOOT! lol your so luckey to fşnd that :)

[supergoat343]

@LawrenceTrent

several companies make a metallic buffer that bolts onto the ejection port. Supposedly it saves the brass from massive dings and other deformities that complicate resizing.

[supergoat343]

@Klutt337h

7.62 is .30 caliber, .308 is also .30 caliber. Slightly different caliber, but the around same diameter none the less.

[Rambowookie]

is that .308?

[milvipes]

Kicks a bit more than FAL, but it costs 20% less.

[agricola]

@milvipes depends on the make. original german G3s cost a pretty penny, often more than a good DSA built FAL. also the greek made G3s imported by springfield 20 years ago are well over 1 grand too. i guess you could make a case for the PTR91s but they still hover around a grand or slightly more too. the only truly affordable option is buying one of those shitty century CETMEs and then modding it out like a G3.

[icankickflip]

The CETME is a Spanish clone of the G3, correct?

[hanskaltwasser]

@icankickflip No,the G3 is a clone of the cetme. The cetme's roller locking action was designed by a german at mauser factory,Vorgrimmler. Mauser engineers developed this rifle along with some spanish engineers after ww2. They had already made the stg45,then went to france to build another prototype,then on to spain with the final product of the CETME. The G3 is to CETME as the AK47 is to the Galil. Both the G3 and the Galil are better more refined versions of their former guns.

[evo8herrm]

One was at the range today and it threw the casings atleast 15 yards and did it very fast.

[nick122344]

just me or does what looks like a weaver rail on the top break loose after the 1st shot???

[forthashorteez]

lol all shots better be hits with the .308

[wilsonandbrent]

i like the FAL better nice gun doh

[jeremyandpappy]

god i wish i lived in the states, canada doesnt have G3's i looked around, believe me. if anyone knows any good gun sites plz reply, in canada

[fatoni698]

wolverine supplies, canada ammo, tradeexcanada, lever arms, firearms canada, armco-guns.

[eLoRiGiNaL650]

This rifle is very underestimated and gets no attention but het maybe thats a good thing

[krazygrrrl]

Where do I get one of these?

[TuscaniPassion071]

try gunbroker,,com

[YunGenda]

you can go to Oberndorf am Neckar in Germany and ask them wether they still produce them.

And by the way, the Mauser Factory is there too xD

[whokilledbambi09]

chicken winging =/ hurt shoulder afterword? however a beautifully accurate and controllable weapon..i prefer it over an AR, regardless of what most people think! nice rifle! :)

[youtoober19125]

i know what you mean man, id take a g3 over an AR anyday.

[tercioviejo100]

G3 is a copy from the Spanish CETME is not from Germany

[sk1rge]

lol the CETME is based on a protoype by Ludwig Vorgrimmler, which again was based on the Mauser Sturmgewehr 45. So don't be a tard and say it's Spanish.

[tercioviejo100]

Is true vorgrimmler came to spain,(1950)and stared to work in( Centro EstudiosTegnologicos Militares especiales)CETME. But the team developed 2 models,CETME A CETME B, in 1958 the West Germany Army buy the cetme,and after H&K made in Germany from license of cetme and developed togheter,the change to 7,62X51 whit the results of model c and G3

[restolo]

germans make the best things!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fulgore40]

is that body armer at the range? wow you wear that thing at the mall to

[madpaintbalerx]

It helps with the recoil. You won't end up woth a sore shoulder if you wear the vest

[shouavaj12]

If i were a soldier i would use this gun no Ak or M16.

[ILRRLM]

Chicken winging causes shoulders to get sore a lot quicker and reduce the ability to control the recoil by quite a bit. So civilian or not, Chicken winging=bad

[EwFreDDe]

yeah... u keep tellin urself that. mr tacticulz

[55SkorpOG]

3000 joule bohh deadly and caliber 7.62 x 51 mm

[Rodman4mhl]

thats power! i was at the german bundeswehr...great rifle

[EurekaTrustson42]

That's one loud soab.

[PAINTBALLPUNK98]

Germans shure know how to make a good rifle

[xfpsnoob]

Nice retracting stock. Want to trade for my crap CETME wood one?

[kjsh987]

how many times you hit the target?

[ILRRLM]

CHICKEN WINGER!!!!

[spartan17717]

how much would one of these cost there so nice ive got a 1944 world war 2 8mm turkish mauser im gonna sell to help pay for the g3 :)

[jettarulz]

Ok the CETME was first better known as the C91 germany lost the abillity to produce firearms because of wwII so the maker of the gun moved his plant to spain. for the ability to produce his master piece which would first be known as the c 91 than the hk 91. What people dont know is the only thing different betwee the 2 is the barrel nothing else. Not enough to worry about nothing to pay thousands of more dollars for either. However, if you were talking about the psg1 totally different

[rodlpz]

Nice gun! You ever try a Hensoldt scope?

I put one on mine and got a better trigger and it made for a real accurate, long range gun. I love the G-3 and it's clones.

[CrotalusKid]

Where did you pick up a trigger? Was it an msg/psg trigger group? I love my 91, but I feel it's trigger gets in the way of it's real potential!

[hanskaltwasser]

Check out Bill Springfields trigger adjustments.They are decently priced and reduce trigger pull down to 3-4lbs.

[CrotalusKid]

Awesome! Thanks for the tip.

[koxmi]

The G3 Assault Rifle is portuguese you retards.

you dont know what the fuck you say -.-

[fredmachine]

@koxmi The G3 is german, though based on the spanish CETME rifle (which was designed by a german). Nothing portugese about it.

[usmc1262]

@fredmachine that is true

[TheDudeReborn]

@koxmi Oh idiota, a G3 é Alemã, Portugal comprou a G3 à Alemanha.

[stjimy]

G3 nice german weapon!!!!!!

[LawrenceTrent]

G3 is real easy to take apart. Pop the pins, pull the stock off, pull the trigger assembly off, shake the bolt out and you're stripped. Takes all of 15 seconds. About the same as an AR except the stock holds the back of the trigger assembly in place. Semi auto has two pins in rear and a lip in the receiver the front the trigger group rests on. Full auto version has a pin in front where the paddle mag release is, and does not rest on a ledge like the semi-auto.

[woodss3]

interested to see a G3 field strip. I have fired a F.A.L. FN and fell in love with the power,reliability, AND ACCURACY!!!...but it is a bitch to pull it apart and completely clean...a gagillion little pieces. How is the G3?

[alejobola]

That shit kicks like a mule.

[rigoletto68]

Do you prefer the 308 to the 223 for civilian use? I see many more people buying the 223 even though I read the 308 is a more powerful. Thanks.

[LawrenceTrent]

Man I could write a thesis on that subject! Limited to 500 letters here.. Bottom line is with power comes compromise, namely weight. Not to mention applicability. The *average* soldier can pick up and use a lighter weapon and hump around more ammunition, as can the average civilian. Not to mention the economics of production - large scale production requires less powder and metal components. Lower recoil = easier training + better control = better soldiers on the line. I could go on...

[noeld08]

Is that a full auto G3 or just a clone?

[LawrenceTrent]

This one is a clone, FA91. I've got video of a full auto also loaded up, though.

[noeld08]

oh how much would those be worth?

[mkksal]

tren lawrence you should lower your elbow there chief

[LawrenceTrent]

You are correct! This video was shot three years ago. I now center the rifle on my chest, and square my shoulders instead of blading them off. Also changed the way I shoot pistol from weaver to a progressivly agressive square stance. Good observations though!

[mkksal]

sounds good

wat do u mean changed pistol from weavber to square. ive never fired a pistol

[LawrenceTrent]

The stance I use for pistols is different. With weaver you have one foot forward, one arm more bent than the other, with your off shoulder closer to the target. Now, I place my feet side by side, both arms extended, and neither shoulder is closer to the target. For competitive / defensive shooting matches I've found it a much faster way of shooting. Same stance with rifles allows you to control the recoil better as well. It's a remarkable difference.

[SnaKeEyez1337]

Do you have a video with that, rifle stance?

[LawrenceTrent]

Not online right now, I started using it over the winter in practice but haven't bothered to take any new video. IDPA and IPSC Matches start back up this month locally so I'll make another vid and post it at some point.

[SemperFidelis345]

that women kick like a bich eh?

[Faceless4Life]

Good gun really. My dad was in the army during the Portuguese colonial war and thats the gun he used.

[crowfang]

Turkey? the CETME G3 is made in Spain The H&K 91 is Germany Actually the H&K 91 is a clone of the CETME G3 Spain came out with it first then the Germans

[LawrenceTrent]

You're both wrong. The CETME was introduced to the west german army in 1951 as the gewehr 3. G3 is NOT a separate type of weapon as most people believe, it's simply the west german army's classification, much like the US armed forces changed the names of the M16 / M249 SAW / M60 etc.

[LawrenceTrent]

Sorry it was 1959 the G3 was introduced, not 1951. 1951 is when the german army wanted to adopt the FNFAL from Belgium as the G1, but were refused licensing rights to make their own rifles. That's when they turned to the Spanish. They slightly modified the design (costmetics / sights), but the internals remained interchangable.

[AnWaDeRo]

were you shooting a semi-auto G3? if so, where in the hell would you get one?

[LawrenceTrent]

There are still original G3's circulating here and there, imported prior to the import ban taking effect. Check Knob Creek machinegun shoot in April or October, there's always some for sale there (both semi and full auto, if you are in an NFA-friendly state). Semi-auto G3 rifles bring a premium - upwards of $5,000. Full auto transferrable G3's (converted to full auto prior to the manufacturing ban) run 20K+.

[AnWaDeRo]

man! thats a little much! i'll stick with a

LR308 Rifle!

[LawrenceTrent]

As a side note, you can also RENT a full auto G3 at Knob creek - see my other videos for full auto fun. $30 to burn through a magazine is much cheaper than 20K to own one yourself. :-)

[AnWaDeRo]

yeah, i love machine gun shoots. ever hear of Cheyanne Wells machine gun shoot, it was pretty cheap to empty a full auto FAL $5, glock 18 $10, ak-47 $10, even Browning .50 airplane gun- $200 for 200 round can!

[animalchn]

Do they still make these?

[LawrenceTrent]

They can't be imported any longer. Section 922R limits them, among other restrictions.

[OlDannyboy333]

German guns are always awesome, Ive wanted to get my hands and a H@K 91 for a while but there a bit pricey.

[trWOLF25]

g-3 is made in turkeyy

[trWOLF25]

g-3 is MADE İN TURKEY

[Kenny9596]

hey your shooting the ground

[LawrenceTrent]

Umm yeah, I know. That's where the cans were.

[LawrenceTrent]

Video is being processed by youtube right now of me firing full auto G3.. give it a bit, and it'll be up. Just check my profile for this, and other full auto fun. :-)

PS I handle recoil on the full auto version just fine, just tighten your stomach and lean in. Check the AK47 / BAR videos as well.

[hreutz]

You get used to it after a while.

I got a casing dropping on my head from a defecting ejection port, it's preferably going 45 deg forward/right to me. Shooting 5-10 round bursts really sets you off balance unless you are seriously waned.

Shooter: try not to lose your aim as you handle the recoil, lean more forward and maybe relax more.

[LawrenceTrent]

I agree, I've fired these on full auto at knob creek before. Part of why the shots are slow here is I was taking time to aim on cans - cans which were too small to make out on video, though. It's not that great of a video, I'll admit, but oh well, I'm just an amateur, and shooting stuff is fun. :-)

[Glaudge]

this is my favorite weapon, even though i aint fired it yet :(

[LawrenceTrent]

Yeah, I agree! I knicked the paint on my truck with brass from this rifle, and dented the truck's sheet metal. It also wears down the receiver's outer surface slowly, over time, where the brass flings off the right side behind the ejection port.

[BrynMawrYamBag]

THat is a pain in the ass when your in the next lane and catching someone else's hot brass shower

[bettinan1200]

ulan bu silaha bayılıyorum kodummu oturtuyor valla
