Where/ how did u get the mp40?

[TheFirstFlip]

@museruls You need to buy from a Class III dealer. These dealers are specially licensed to buy, sell, and transfer fully automatic weapons. A good Class III dealer will help find the gun you want and help you file the necessary paperwork (it's an involved process that takes a few months). Ask around your area for a good dealer or search online. They are not difficult to find...it's a big business.

@TheFirstFlip

Man up 4kg ish or in your case 11 pounds is not much compared to the poor sucker who had to use and lug around the US Army BAR.

[TheFirstFlip]

@v8R580Scania Haha ok, but comparing the Stg44 and the American BAR is comparing apples to oranges. One is a personal assault rifle, and the other is a squad-level light machine gun. As squad support weapons go, the BAR was lighter than the British Bren or the German MG34.

hey do you have a sten or a type 100 I would love to see you fire one of those

[TheFirstFlip]

@rootbeerfilms1001 Yes on the Sten, although it's my only British automatic weapon. I'm not particularly interested in the Pacific theater, so I don't own any Japanese weapons. I will try to chalk up the Sten alongside the Thompson and PPsh41 for the next video.

@DrChrispocalypse This video is of German guns, but I have WW2 MGs from the US, UK, Soviet Union, and Italy. And asking why I only have "Nazi" guns would be like asking an American collector why they only have "Democratic" guns. These are political parties, not weapon manufacturers.

[adriandagangster]

Why would anyone ask to see a type100? They must be playing too much w@w. the type100 was a cheap clone of the first submachine gun the German MP18. The jap. version was poor quality and chambered in the 8mm nambu pistol round, instead of the 9mm Luger round, which is still the most widely used pistol round in the world.

It's like comparing the Motorola Razr to the iPhone

[Armystrong501st]

how much does the MP40 weigh?

[Armystrong501st]

aka the black market jk

[spyderc85]

the MG42 could be the most gorgeous machine gun ever created, the only other MG that comes close is the Ma Deuce

[BloodandGore4evah]

@DJxMaTTz There are firearms that came out before the Stg.44 that has features which puts it in the same category as an "Assault rifle". Altough most of these never entered production.

[shadowvowed187]

its very impressive that many of the guns in WW2 are amazingly effective even my todays standards

[Tommytuffnuttz]

MG42 was a terrifying weapon. STG44 was a big improvement over the Kar98k. More accurate than an MP40 and 30 rounds without reloading. Need good upper body strength/control. Use semi auto for long range and full auto for close action.

I believe the MP40 and STG44 go for over 20,000 grand now, not sure on the Mg42.

[unrealassasination]

@DJxMaTTz yes it is the first assault rifle

[marinesusarule]

absolutely terrifying is an understatement for the mg-42 hell every german wanted to use it because they always said the more rounds you put down range the more you kill
