Weaponology- US Airborne Pt 2

[dutchboy4gun]

hi, is militairy channel on ziggo tv

[Sun6Tzu]

0:37 There is a advantage to being surrounded by the enemy? What the hell? Bullshit propaganda. Not that I am hating on Airborne soldiers but Operation Market Garden was considered a failure. Paratroopers face the most danger out of any infantry unit. Paratroopers do not have the same numbers to complete objectives. In truth, paratroopers need to have better ambush, hit and run, & terrain navigation tactics than other infantry units to survive.

[majungasaurusaaaa]

@Sun6Tzu

i think what he means is that they're already used to being surrounded so being surrounded at bastogne was nothing new or frightening, just another day in the office

[THESOVIETCRIMSON]

Never showed this in band of brothers.

[F22Raptorific]

loading used rounds in to the m2(1:52) ... Fail

[usnavysss]

Its a shame that marines get all the fame during the japan campaign remember 17 airborne division did recon guadalcanal making sure marines can even go there.

[TheNavysealsrock]

Go Airborne! Kicking butt since 1942. From the WW2 jumps in Africa to Iraq and Afghanistan, the US paratroopers have been serving America well along with all others men who've served.

[ausloverxo]

fuck that old guy has the best job in the world luckky basterd

[vamsterr]

"cures all head aches on the battle field" XD epic

[fleanx05]

I'm watching Band of Brothers...

[mozart4707]

@fleanx05 i have watched many times.. memories most of their lines.. like "That LT doesn't even have a weapon".. and "I don't know why I'm doing this.. Doing what? Hiding it in your footlocker. I'm a captain for Christ Sake"

[superunderpants123]

so...the browning was almost better then the MG42 but defently better then the MG34.so when the germans come acrose one...well pretend i was a german and i`ll make random lettors then die, nhfvgsjb fhdgfjsgfjdhnc fjghsnjb UHH!???! so theyd preety much say UH OH! then all of them would go... UH GOT TO FALL!!! when they die

[Nordex11]

@superunderpants123 are you retarded?

[superunderpants123]

yea the browning and thompson had last names and stuff

[dicksucker444]

i hate how instead of focusing on the airborne solely...the show knocks the subject to some gun they used...i mean if i really wanted to know how the guns are...i would watch a video on that...i want to know more about airborne

[ipwnu11b]

whoo hoo! wow tat looks fun! cant wait till i leave for my BCT! hope i get to shoot something like that one day! :D

[Kolashov]

how much smaller are the bullets from a SAW ?

also , how much less is the velocity of a SAW , compared to the 50. ? anyone knows? :)

[jeb1022]

@Kolashov alot lol the saw is a 5.56mm roughly a half inch long and about as big around as the flat part on a regular sized nail the bullet on the 50 is about an inch an a half long id say. about as big around as a penny. just kinda guestimating if anyone has a better description help him out

[Kolashov]

@jeb1022

dajum ! thanks for the info m8 :)

[DeltaHawk10001]

@Kolashov good question. The .50 round is a half inch in diameter and ranges(according to purpose) from 1-1.5 in. long. The 5.56 that the SAW fires is .203 inches in diameter (approx. 2/10 in.) and about 3/8 in. in length. Velocity wise, the 5.56 is around 3600 feet per second at the muzzle, while the fifty is at 2550 or so. The .50 is far more stable though, so even though it is slower to start with it maintains its velocity longer giving it about 4-5 times the range of the 5.56. Hope it helps!

[Gundog10mm]

@DeltaHawk10001 .203 FOR A .223 ROUND? Everyone knows everything on youtube. Its actually .224 caliber for the 5.56 mm.

[DeltaHawk10001]

@Gundog10mm my bad... you are correct. I did actually mean to say that, though the civillian version does use the .223 round.

[iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa]

Is it " Ma Deuce " or " Mod Deuce " ???

[shadowblade232]

@iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa The M-2 machine gun is the Ma Deuce

[iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa]

@shadowblade232 Got ya.

[virus922]

at 1:52 you can see the blank bullets.

[spartan132]

You know, seeing how large these guns are, its retarded how some games just allow you to carry them around like a small automatic rifle... Perfect example is COD5, you can carry all of the famous MG's around like they weigh 4 Pounds. And no, im not a whiny call of duty player...

[broed731]

id rather have a mg42

[MASTERCHIEF2434]

WOAH THE GUY AT 0:24 LOOKS LIKE FROM THE GUY ON Band of Brothers where there were at Bastogne!!!

[dunknG]

imao you too kid

[TheThinkTanksKid]

50cal HMG kick ass right there =D

[ThePhamine]

when i saw these guys reenacting as airborne troopers (on this video), i wz kinda like "where the hell's dick winters?"

[Dogmeat1950]

peoplecan survive a mg42 hit. nobody can live through a 50.cal,

[Dogmeat1950]

@dunknG um... the 50.cal is a amazing weapon reason why it's the longest serving weapon in modern military history 1921-present

[Hfajardo97]

@dunknG

guys he is saying this because all his family members were killed by the 50. CAL and he became an orphan

[dunknG]

@Hfajardo97 imao you try hard kid.

[Hfajardo97]

@dunknG

look who is talking.....you are stupid enough to say that 50. CAL weapons are gay but i understand why you said that (dont worry...someone will adopt you someday)

[dunknG]

@Hfajardo9 imao you too kid

[FlattusMaximusD]

@Hfajardo97 ouch..lmao

[Unit987654321]

@Hfajardo97 The thing about heavy machine guns, is that they are usually the first to die, in any combat. As soon as it starts firing, everyone know where it is, so the enemy immediately does whatever it can to stop it. Sure, in the battle of the Bulge, when it stats shooting, it'll knockout a German halftrack, but what follows, is a Panzer's 4's main gun shooting at it.

[6246701]

Can the 50. cal kill Chuck Norris? Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope

[hawkboy06]

@6246701 No, but Chuck Norris can kill a .50 cal... by counting to 3...

[punkd76]

the .50 cal is amazing look what it did at the battle of mirbat with the sas

its firepower is incredible

[knifenut100]

50 cal aspirin lol

[Agomongo1235]

ha and ppl say that the mg42 is the best

[ToucanX]

@Agomongo1235 it is

[perryguy23]

of all the weaponology episodes they could have picked, why on earth did they talk about the 50 an episode about the airborne!? makes no sense at all... you can't exactly jump out of an airplane with one strapped to your leg.

[xXNorthWeapon74Xx]

planes drop food crates, ammunition crates and heavy arms crates along with paratroopers.

[skydiver1396]

@perryguy23 did you even pay attention to the video, they got them from veichles they were assigned

[robbykane]

@perryguy23 during the battle of the bulge they(101st) stopped an entire tank division with just 1 that was on a light tank that was para dropped into the battle with them...

[alcapone796]

@perryguy23 actually you can bit your body wont be happy

[alcapone796]

@perryguy23 oh and you can drop it in containers small cylinders ..

[hashsmoker123]

so if the mg42 was so great why is it an antiuqe now,when the browning 50.cal is still in use today.

i bet the browning is more durable to seeing as it's a solid block of metal.

[Taz418]

The Mg 42 is techinically still in use to this day. The modern day version is the MG3. The gun is essentially the same except it is chambered in the 7.62 x51 mm NATO round.

[LordAvgasror]

I don't think you can really compare the .50 cal to the MG42 since they are two completely different types of machine guns designed to do different things.

The MG42 is like an all-round gun and the .50 is originally for shooting big holes in tanks.

For instance, the MG42 was used as a section support-weapon. I don't think that anyone would use the .50 that way unless you're the terminator! And if you look at the ammo, you will soon see that it is like comparing a peanut to a bowling ball. :P

[Taz418]

Yes, they aren't the same ^_^ I was just stating that the MG42 was still in use. Yes, a M2 .50 cal is a weapon used for a different purpose than the MG42. They both have their merits.

[LordAvgasror]

I wasn't trying to flame.. Just pointing it out that you can't really compare two different types of weapons. If someone would compare say, the FN MAG 58 and the MG42 then fine. But the Browning .50 is way too different in my oppinion. :)

[HingerlAlois]

@hashsmoker123

The MG42 is not an antique, also nowadays the standard machine gun of the German military, the MG3 is a modified MG42 firing the standard 7.62 x 51 mm NATO ammunition instead of the 7.92 x 57 mm Mauser bullets.

[anttonoo]

MG42 was better than Browning 50 caliber.

[devilhunterred]

The German MG42 is much superior than 50. Browning.

In fact, almost all weapons expert would agree that the German MG42 was the best automatic machine gun in WWII.

Americans always make their own inventions sound and seem much better than it really is.

[funnyproductions456]

well then why isnt it in service then if i do recall the M2 still is

[devilhunterred]

Because weapons evolve.

[funnyproductions456]

no it just wasnt good enough to meet todays standards

[devilhunterred]

One of the reasons why some guns are still being used today is also because they can't afford anything better.

Like AK47.

[dazer09]

@funnyproductions456 The MG42 still is, called the MG3 now.

[Verwendel]

@funnyproductions456

It is still in service. It's name is now MG 3. It does have another caliber (NATO) and some other slight modifies. On the outside it still looks exactly like the MG 42.

[TomuxLT]

@funnyproductions456 What are you talking about they have talked only about M2 whole video. They haven't mentioned any other gun.

[gicole]

MG42 did a great job at anti personnel and scored high in fear factor

but Browning 50cal. can be used to knock out light vehicles and provides long range supressing fire for ground unites;

MG42 is a precise, delicate weapon even its successor, MG3 didn't made much changes on its design and it is still an effective killing machine

The M2 is reliable, easier to maintain and manufacture, therefore the M2 has a long service length in military history .Both weapons have their advantages.

[mrfishsticklover]

the comment of this video is so fuckin gay

[Arizonasnipe]

Airborne!!!!

Go GoGO

[spartan5536]

this is my favorite battle mostly because of, "nuts? What does that meen"? "it meens go to hell"!!! ROFL ROFL

[ng416]

its in the art of war that if your troops have no other choice but death they will fight much better

[LietuvaLietuviams1]

I hate this cool talking in these vieos it makes me so sick

[hansecheverria]

airborne ranger raving man he's got a tab i wish i had

[goldydog101]

kill tanks?

[loiho]

We can take out tank with our Delta vehical or javelin team. .50 use to take on armor but now enemy main battle tank armor is too thick and suffiticate so AT weapon have to be use.

[OlderG0ds]

Yes, WWI tanks were susceptible to heavy machine gun fire. They had very thin armor. It's a good weapon against light vehicles.

[kissmyassnowplease]

who will protect the right to be free?? who will protect the way of the American??? who will lay their life on the line from democracy???....i will..so any one who reads this help me join the ranks of these brave men and women to help secure our freedom...please support the dream act.

[Purifier1989]

the only bad thing with airborne is that they are put behind enemy lines, one mistake and they are all dead

[SilentStrike082]

not to insult the airborne, but their the weakest of all speacial forces

[kimmin1208]

yea and they're still special forces

[MercilessHunk]

lol there goes are money but its being put to good use to train people to extend their life and ours(sorta)

[aliensexgangchildren]
