Mauser K-98 vs. M1 Garand... 2.0 Ultra

[freefallin1970]

proud owner of the m1 garand same for the colt 1911

[nick21sammy]

while the US concentrated on making reasonably accurate rifles with a high rate of fire. the germans concentrated on making rifles with amazing accuracy. the aim (no pun) for the germans was to have their infantry be able to shoot accurately and let their mg teams do the surpressing

[shadow0imposter]

yea great job loading with the safeties off

[gogdee]

@shadow0imposter who loads with the safety on? LOL If you don't intend to shoot the gun for a while. you click the safety on after you load it, however we were shooting right then, so we didn't need the safety's.

[nick21sammy]

@shadow0imposter unless the K98 is already cocked, you cannot switch the gun to safety, and before you say i have no idea, i own a K98

[MovieMaker225]

haha, good job on the comparrison

[gogdee]

@MovieMaker225 thank ye! ;D

[TheSuperspudnik]

actually its called an enblock for the M1



[nick21sammy]

@TheSuperspudnik its called an Enbloc, its french

[deathbutt09]

Lol watch your thumb on that garand

[juggernogify]

The "ping" is what won the war

[shadow0imposter]

@juggernogify yea but the germans knew when they heard that ping we were fair game lol

[lookatthewholepictur]

M1 Garand = One of the finest Rifles ever designed

[actionjawa]

Germans don't shout oo-rah :p

[gogdee]

@actionjawa I ain't German..lol

[actionjawa]

@gogdee i know, i just thought you might have been in character :p

[zero48411]

i perfer my type 38 arisaka

[gogdee]

@zero48411 Not me.. :P

[juggernogify]

The M1 Garand is actually loaded with a box clip not a stripper clip. But still a very good film. I'd like to shake the shooters' hands.

[Rangerfull3]

I'd go with m1 garand, but if i were in the war, i'd go with Germany: mp40, stg44, g43, luger, and tiger tanks all the way!

[50TNCSA]

ill keep my mosin

[mumbleye]

i do love nazis but i gotta go with the the garand and the 1911

[bluebeast1000]

where can you get a mauser k98 and how much would one be?

[DragonSkin342]

@bluebeast1000 400,000 dollars.. for 12 seconds...

[yaaaay1]

k98 more stopping power and more accurate...... m1 garand lighter and faster firing less reliable and pings when mag pops out......... medium and close range=garand.......medium and long range 98k

[AGeekWithAShotgun]

@yaaaay1

How the hell is the K98 more accurate? The M1 Garand is by FAR much more accurate, being that the M1 Garand has a higher muzzle velocity and more advanced sights. Stopping power is irrelevant with high powered rifle cartridges; it doesn't matter if it's a 30-06 or a 8mm Mauser, the target will drop.

[gogdee]

@AGeekWithAShotgun it's all opinion really, I find it easier to target things with iron wedge sights over peephole sights but that's just me. :)

[AGeekWithAShotgun]

@gogdee

You have to give the edge to the peephole sight though, being that it is more accurate and has a longer sight radius.

[gogdee]

@AGeekWithAShotgun either way, I find the peephole is easier to use and faster to bring up in a hurry but for sniper work I prefer the 'wedge'.

[bgepp]

Looks like the mauser kicks more than the m1 - all around the Garand is a far superior weapon. I have a 4/45 Garand and it is pretty sweet! nice video!

[gogdee]

@bgepp Thanks Bud! :D

[untmortadela]

@bgepp You cant compare the K-98 with the Garand, of course the Garand is superior, its a far more modern design, its like comparing a piston airplane with an early Jet, but the G-43 would be a nice comparison, and the STG 44 would be a comparison with a m-16

[gogdee]

@untmortadela Yes you can compare them, true the K-98 is only a bolt action, but they were the 2 main weapons pitted against each other in the European part of WWII. The G-43 vs. the M1 would be very awesome, but I don't own one yet. :( The STG would not compare to the M-16 even the original M-16 is still much newer, I would compare the STG 44 to it's descendant, the Ak-47 instead.

[untmortadela]

@gogdee Am talking about the technology factor, not the age one.Of course the two battle against each other on the fields of europe, but then you will have a huge unbalance, its like compare the Tiger with a Sherman.... Or a Heinkel with a B-17....You just cant do it.And yeah, i exagerated the Ak would fit much better for the STG, but again, the americans wouldnt have a counterpart (unless its the M1) and this comparison would be unballanced.Awsome vid by the way!

[gogdee]

@untmortadela Thanks bro! I was just having fun with what I have. :) Maybe some day I'll get a '43. :)

[rssdeltaforce64]

its an en bloc clip for the m1 not a stripper clip

[TheAlexander8898]

How many rounds does the Colt M1911 .45 pistol hold? Is it 7 rounds or 8 rounds?

[gogdee]

@TheAlexander8898 In WWII the pistols were supplied with 7rd. mag.s but now most 1911's have 8rd.s same size mag. but reconfigured to hold another rd. :)

[TheAlexander8898]

@gogdee Okay thank you I understand now thanks a lot!

[Atreides1GDI]

@TheAlexander8898 colt M1911 have 7 rounds

[RenegadeAssaultSquad]

Where did you happen to get either of those rifles? Preferably the Mauser.

[gogdee]

@RenegadeAssaultSquad From Mitchell's Mausers, great gun! :D

[RenegadeAssaultSquad]

@gogdee I was looking at that site earlier, haha. Which version did you get, the cheapest one?

[gogdee]

@RenegadeAssaultSquad I got my gun about 3 years ago on sale for Christmas. It is the 'German K98k Rifle, Collector Grade with German Markings from WWII' that is now $599. But I paid $399 for mine. :)

[RenegadeAssaultSquad]

@gogdee Awww, man. Wish I couldve had that deal! Would you ever recommend anything below that grade? Like the cheap one? Cause I could spare $300, but not $600

[gogdee]

@RenegadeAssaultSquad As long as it's stock isn't cracked and the bolt and barrel are good adn clean, Then you should be fine, I've seen nice looking K-98s sold for $300. Just choose carefully, look at the years and were they were made. The German ones have the highest re-sell value. :)

[bsrman36]

question about the 98K, if you load a stripper clip, will it pop out when the bolt is pushed forward? or does you have to pull the clip out manually every time?

thanks and good shooting!!!

[gogdee]

@bsrman36 Nah you have to pull it out by hand. Also when you push the rounds in, make sure you push on the rounds because if you push on the clip it can get wedged in there and it's a pain in the butt to get it out.

[something01992]

@bsrman36 No, you can close the bolt and the clip will pop out. That's what I do everytime and that's how it was meant to be done. Sometimes you need to give it a hard shove though.

[freedumnevafree]

I NEED AN M1 lol i love this vid



[gogdee]

@freedumnevafree Everyone needs one...... only a few get one.. LOL
