      @@Nyx_2142 Well it certainly was no good in full auto. I don't think it's a weight problem. Its weight is not too far off from other battle rifles of the era. From what I understand, the M1 Garand had an excellent short receiver that gave it a real advantage dimensionally. However, scale that down to the M14, and give it full auto, and you have a very fast and violently opening bolt traveling a very short distance before coming to a stop. This made recoil very snappy, violent, and fast (due to short bolt travel) which made it relatively uncontrollable and highly unpleasant to shoot full auto. Other weapons like the AR-10, FAL, and G3 gave the bolt plenty of length to travel to burn off energy before coming to a stop at the end of the receiver which made them much much more pleasant to shoot.

      @jfangm 3 года назад +2

      The BM59 is actually more closely related to the M1 than the M14, as it is literally just an M1 conversion. All the M14 has in common is the receiver and op rod.

      SVT40 beats M1 Garand in every possible way, same with the G43.

    • @Gewehr_3
      @Gewehr_3 10 лет назад +71

      The SVT40 was a piece of shit, unreliable rifle. These things frequently fell apart on soliders, most notably the magazine had a tedency to fall out of the rifle randomly.
      The G43 was a decent design, but they were horribly made. When these guns were introduced in service the Germans were already losing WW2 and were making these rifles as fast as possible to try to even the odds against the Soviet's and American's semi auto rifles. That meet crudely fitted parts (which means lower accuracy at distance) And many compromises to the design, like most of the rifles were made out of pressed sheet metal, instead of milled steel as orginally designed, which couldn't handle the 7mm cartridge very well.

    • @MultiNihilus
      @MultiNihilus 10 лет назад +1

      XavierJ61 American patriot much? SVT40. are reliable because of the gas operation and the magazine issue isn't common for SVTs made after 1941. G43 was the same G41 that took innovation from the SVT.

    • @Gewehr_3
      @Gewehr_3 10 лет назад +68

      American hater much? SVT40s were too complicated and clunky, hence why the Russian military stopped issuing them to regular soliders and instead for specialist roles. Here's a quote from a Russian veteran, "We didn’t have the self-loading rifles SVT in the school, they were hardly practical at the front: as soon as the tiniest portion of sand got into the SVT - it stuck and stopped working."
      english.iremember.ru/snipers/24-nikolai-nadolko.html?q=%2Fsnipers%2F24-nikolai-nadolko.html&start=1
      The G43 as I said, was a rushed to production rifle that was extremely crude. Relatively few examples of the G41 were made, but the ones that made it to service were disliked by soliders, I'll give you a quote.
      "In the field, the G41(M) proved unpopular with troops. In addition to being exceedingly complex and susceptible to fouling and malfunction, it was a long, heavy (11.5 pounds), and poorly balanced rifle. Captured SVT-40 Tokarev rifles were much preferred, and most of the G41(M)s ended up in the hands of second-line soldiers."

    1. Due to slow production not all branches were armed with the M1 at the beginning of the war, the marines had 1903 Springfield’s for the first few months of war
    2. “Besides WWII these are rarely seen”
    The M1 was still in use during the Korean War, I know this for a fact because of my grandfather

      I was going to applaud Ahoy for not stating this, because it is indeed a myth. You could look at it from a common sense perspective. First off combat is loud. You would likely be unable to hear the ping in the first place. Secondly, just because a GI might be out of ammo and need to reload, doesn't mean his buddies next to them need to as well. iccf.freeforums.org/m1-garand-myth-busted-t1022.html Here's a quick article read about the topic, btw.

      OK list, although the fact that you used 44 Magnum and Dragunov gives away where you got suggestions from. 44 Magnum is a caliber, not a gun and it is called the SVD, not Dragunov, outside of games.

      .44 Magnum is also just a more common term from S&W 29, the most common gun using the .44 Magnum cartridge. And its not that uncommon to call SVD a Dragunov, SVD stands for Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova

      The MP5 is practically a submachine variant gun of the G3. I don't see why Ahoy should make two episodes on almost the same gun. I'd say he should do the UZI, G36 or Mosin-Nagant instead.

    In high school I shot on a competitive 3p smallbore and air rifle team, and at the end of each year, we'd join the high power shooters for a casual match. After one match, this old fella randomly approached me and asked if I knew how to field strip and clean a Garand. I told him that I'd operated one before because my dad owned one, but I'd never taken one apart. He then took his own rifle and proceeded to disassemble and reassemble it before telling me to do the same. Even with arthritic hands he was still able to strip it down like it was second nature. He was a veteran of Korea and an ex-cop who was part of the last generation of law enforcement to be issued with a Thompson. Out of all the people on my team, he chose to give me an old time lesson, and for that I have always felt a sense of pride. I can't even imagine the love soldiers and marines had for that rifle. It's a mechanical wonder: a perfect marriage of wood and steel. Sturdy, reliable, accurate, and deadly like nothing of its time.

  • @hylianarmy0

    I love New Vegas' incarnation of the Garand. It's rather disappointing that you can't use it with the Grunt perk in the vanilla game, but the J. Sawyer mod fixes that. This Machine (and the non-unique Battle Rifle variant added in Gun Runners' Arsenal) are fine weapons by themselves, but Grunt pushes them into the field of excellence. And it even has the *ping*.
