@ross512009 The Luger has problems feeding anything but normal FMJ rounds. It was designed only for round-nosed bullets, since expanding rounds like hollow-points had been banned under the Hague Convention of 1899 and St. Petersburg Declaration of 1868. Shooting hollow points will almost definite...

@koup1979 You have to know the right people or win one of the contests UP throws out every few years. Its mighty hard to get on there, believe me.

@PattayaBen Everyone who died within the hull is still there, with the exception of any bodies that were recovered during salvage operations. Any sailors who served on the Arizona has the right to have their ashes on the site as well, which some have done, and any sailors who survived the attack ...

Great video. I'm a Wehrmacht reenactor and have a 1916 Danzig G98 that was converted to K98 specs in the late '30s. I've been hoping to get my hands on a decent G98 in original condition, but haven't been able to scrounge up the cash. Its wonderful to see these pieces of history in the hands of p...

@m1garand44 Some P38s were made after the war while they still had that designation, before they converted over to P1s, so there are a decent number of P38 pistols without Waffenampts.

@16BrookeAnne General Grant owned exactly one slave, while Lee owned a number that were inherited and Jackson's family owned 5. Other than the fact that you're incorrect, your comparison is a poor once, since Lee and Jackson were very liberal by Confederate standards. There were many Northerners ...

@allenco65 M1 Garand rifles used .30-06. The M1 Carbine uses .30 Carbine, which is essentially a glorified pistol round. You would be seeing a lot more kick (especially with a light weapon like that) if it was in .30-06.

@dtmckellop I don't know where you heard that, but that's completely false. There is no "Luger Company" and there never was. The original manufacturer was Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken, and production was later contracted out to other companies as well, particularly Mauser and Krieghoff. ...

@OldsVistaCruiser Steamers with both a whistle and a horn were surprisingly common in the '40s and '50s. Apparently the horns were more commonly used back in the day, but the surviving ones today use the whistle rather than the comparatively ugly single-note horns. The first steamer so equipped t...

@xatomicxboyx Try Gunbroker online. It is essentially ebay for guns, and I've always had a good experience there.

Very nice! I have a 1938 S/42 that I bought last month and used in a reenactment, but I haven't had the chance to live-fire it yet. I'm glad to see you're enjoying yours!

@toddsmitts There was a book released in 1864 called "The Last Men of the Revolution", which contained the photographs and stories of the last seven Revolutionary War veterans. There are a couple of copies on Amazon at the moment going for around $200 a piece.

@spajdude What WhyAyeMann said, but a couple of other things as well. Trains at most museums don't typically go faster than 15MPH for safety (and because you don't need so much track to get a decent ride). Besides, 110 is a former logging engine, which means it was built for hauling ability and s...

Here is what the FRA has to say on the issue. Yes, you can indeed be arrested.

@rakis10 The old man doing the narration is Ron Masak, an actor who was only in his 60s when he recorded this. This game was released around the same time that Dick Winters stopped doing public appearances and responding to mail, so it couldn't have been him anyway.

@Bismarckisawesome I won't disagree that Bismarck was awesome, but I don't know where you got your facts on the gun, because they're out of synch with reality. The original spec C96s only held ten rounds, while later variants dating from the 1910s to the '30s had six or twenty-round magazines as...

@WaterAngel209 You're either trolling or didn't bother to check Google. The actors aren't terribly well-known, but they've been in quite a few other movies.

@carcano38 It looks weird because it was re-recorded off another screen. The same video is available on youtube in the original quality, and it was quite obviously recorded in 1938.

@ryantwiggsmith909 WWII Lugers are actually worth more than their WWI counterparts, for some reason. An original with matching serial numbers in good, shootable condition could easily cost around $1500, if not more. Some models can go for tens of thousands of dollars. The "frankenstein" Lugers co...

Quite an interesting old recording! Easy to imagine sailing off to Cuba to fight the Spanish while listening to this...

@Boxghost102 No, they would not have. There is no realistic amount of firepower that would have allowed the humans to win. The machines have them outnumbered literally 10,000 to 1. Besides, keep in mind the low rate of fire that your garden-variety 88mm Flak gun has. I bet that would really serve...

@cbs710 The shells are being shoved in by the ramming crew. The white bags are the powder charges that propel the projectile to the target. The powder bag is burned up upon firing, which is the reason why you see no casings ejected.

@crzyrpr That sounds like the most implausible death scenario I have heard of this year. Anyway, you never answered any of my other points. You must buy a hell of a lot of raffle tickets. :P None of what you are saying makes any sense.

@DerPanzerjager Murdoch didn't screw up at all. He was simply handed a terrible situation. The visibility of obstacles that night was about nil since there was no wind or moon to make any icebergs visible, not to mention the fact that the lookouts did not have access to their binoculars. Murdoch ...

@epilon497 The Hoover administration failed to aid the "ordinary folks" for the three years that he was in office after the stock market crash. After 1933, Roosevelt's efforts to aid the American people through programs such as the NRA and the CCC that attempted to provide jobs and stability real...
