saving private ryan = c r i n g e

Note: its not officially the M24 "Potato masher" its the M24 Stielhandgranate. The Potato Masher was British Army Slang similar to how the Italian SRCM Mod. 35 was nicked named "Red Devils"

Ummm it’s a movie bro

The actor in Saving private ryan is played by Ryan Hurst. You might know him from Sons of Anarchy or The Walking Dead. It blew my mind when i found out recently i watch this move so many times and i love SOA....

See? We germans are human in war

Makes the scene in Band of Brothers make sense as well

But the grenade can explode when the cannon shot😊

He was fighting at Ramelle

Would a grenade blow up an 88 barrel anyway?

That would be pretty horrifying. Imagine last time you saw your boys alive were in that uniformed or even dead in it then 50+ years later you see them all together in same uniform

Didn’t really explain how the concussion wave didn’t kill him if the nade’ went off right by his head

Totally not because military grade is the cheapest but still just barely usable or because the government doesn't actually care about their soldiers (referring to the cheap equipment)or because you know the politics they put into there kind of show they don't care as I said before (like the ads just showing trans and weirdo politics but when it's wartime they show straight white dudes buffed out of their mind and stuff).

💔💔

It's not a film it's a miniseries

Grande mans arw fucke. Cool

Actually never wondered about that.

just my opinion. i think another reason they did this was bcause a little bit earlier. over in Vietnam and other places. the enemies used rubberbands that eventually would rot away and the pins would randomly pop off, blowing up the wearer. "we just had to wait and they would blow up on their own".

That would be spooky.

*Military releases new grenades with tapes already attached* Soldiers proceed to tape it again LMAO

It only took 80 years for the American military to make grenades safer for their soldiers. Typical government bureaucracy. smh

Awesome, I am building dome reproductions with original contents minus the original morphine box. I had thought they used waxed white small bandages but see the original had a plastic wrapped one. I have a bunch of these I can use. I need to find more tourniquets which have become tough to find. I love your content. I would like to purchase a couple of empty versions of your first aid kit pouch as it is the best on the market!!

Why tf i see this short after a ulapool caber funny kills

Amazing! I would love to find an inert stick grenade. I have an inert pineapple .

Fun fact: that's Opie from SOA

Plot convenience

Things change I notice now all the Cav patches are in color and are authorized.

Love this content! Can we expect a future video on 82nd Airborne patch variants as well?

I might be reading too deep into this but at the end of the movie Fury, two Potato Mashers are tossed into the tank before Norman climbs out the bottom, leaving Don inside to die, and when Norman returns Don is relatively physically intact and unscathed with only some lighter damage to his face and body, this might be why, or just because they didn't want to show his character completely mulched, either way this is an interesting fact

Here In brazil drug traficers put hoberbands on hand granedes

I collect authentic WWII Schiffli embroidered SSI WWII but back to GWOT period. This is a well documented use of the making of reproduction 101st SSI and glad you put this video out. You have gone thru a lot of understanding and making sure these do not get confused as the real deal SSI. Seasoned collectors like myself can pick the difference between WWII and reproductions. I also collect Afghan and Iraq theatre made SSI which uses the same computer generated process but different eagle variations. I also collect US made 101st Helmet patches from 2003 to today all unauthorized but worn with local commanders authorization, all based on the WWII era Helmet patch designs plus there are new modern era designs. Congratulations well done.

You showned the film clip the actor Marshall Thompson goes right back to the 1960s when I used to watch Daktari?

I'm curious to know why the numbers go backwards instead of forwards

Correction: Tom Hanks M41 was made no different than the M41s of Jackson, Wade, Mellish, Reiben or Upham. It was however made different to that of Caparzo. Which is why you see such a drastic color difference when wet.

lol safe hand grenade

Back when I was in Afghanistan I kept a frag on me just in case I got captured I would take as many as I can with me…we all knew if captured there was no way you would make it back home with your head attached

What about the 327th/401st glider guys? I feel they are often overlooked.

The real Chilly Willy.

Yeah, we know - it’s called ‘the movies’ …. ffs !

Going off the thumbnail picture that's not even the same kind of soldiers, The Filthy Few are what you get when you have to break the glass to fight a war.

No one was actually paying attention

Only pointing this out as your short videos are very good, but theirs clear video footage of the 2nd infantry division clambering down the rope cargo nets with the dark green 'plastic' covers. Therefore, they were used in Normandy in 1944. Not Feb 45. Sorry.

Were these identical patches just changed because of different embroidery personnel

to be honest .. i realy really like and appreciate the effort good patch makers are far and between but still the Green Army Productions patches are still the very best out there absolutely indistinguishable from the real deal so much so that even "professional collectors " saw them as real and also sold en bought thos patches for way to much money this prompted Green Army Productions to mark there patches with GAP initials i personally know the maker and he will be back in the near future but if you are looking for the best ? 1. original 2. Green Army Productions 3. SITD 1944 the comes somes space in between 4.patch king and then an even waaaay bigger space in between 5. standard Repro good luck

Cool video my grandpa was with the 82 ABN on D-Day, he called the 101 ABN, The One O Worst Airborne.

Love it! Subscribed earlier today and need to get an order in with yourselves as we don’t have anyone making gear as accurately as yourselves here in the UK. Keep up the great work!!!

This was super intresting! Great work keeping your military historia alive. Cheers from Sweden!

While this is most important to understand when buying original uniforms. While the US was better about homogeneity than other countries, as reinacting goes, having an insignia that was generally available is fine. You don’t have to have the insignia that was most common. If you can chose when you are putting the impression together, chose then. If it passes the 10ft rule, then it is fine.

I went to bootcamp in 1982 and they had the safety clips then so I think your off in your date of 88

How about English made patches? Love to see a video on them.

One of my favorite things about collecting militaria is; the term "uniform" is a lie because nothing really is if you have any sort of detail eye.
