This gun was so incredibly ahead of it's time. In line recoil system, rail for optics, fold down sights, pistol grip, light weight, controllable full auto fire with a full power battle rifle cartridge. Amazing rifle.
I always wondered how they got semiautomatic fire from an open bolt machine gun, the trigger just prevents the bolt from closing all the way until it's pulled. It's much simpler than I thought. Great animation you can see the similarities between this gun and the M60 machine gun it inspired.
You think it's complex when you haven't seen it, then you see it and think you know it and it's simple, and then some study later you actually understand it. I've just realised now it is actually meaningful that the upper receiver tube is so snug to the bolt that bolt travel is only possible in the lug-above-lug, unlocked orientation. If you think about it, if the bolt were moving in free space, then the yoke that holds the firing pin would be dragging it along by the *front* surface of the helical cut, and the firing pin would be in the fully protruded position already before lockup. But when the orientation is constrained, the bolt gets pushed along by about the middle part of the helical cut. The firing pin is held back. Looking at the Korsak EM-1 Forgotten Weapons video, it seems the part of the receiver the bolt travels in is also skinny on that one.
This would be the gun of WW2 i would choose to defend myself in a modern scenario. STG is cool and all but me personally i would rather be a DMR kinda guy than a "kicks in doors" kinda guy
STG is more controllable for sure... much weaker cartridge and lower ROF Unless is using weird operating systems like blowfoward which increases the felt recoil quite a bit there's no chance am intermediate cartridge is less controllable than a full power one
The animation is missing two elements. The selector lever on the original FG is two pieces. The safety is Fire or Safe. On semi-auto the fire control sear is rotated to one side and it engages a notch towards the end of the operating rod. Turn to full-auto and the sear swivels left to right to engage another notch that keeps the operating rod and bolt to the rear. The other fault is the gas in the gas chamber isn't showing going anywhere. From experience with an FG, if the shooter's left hand is in too far forward, the released gas will burn! That is why the FG were issued leather gloves.
"That is why the FG were issued leather gloves." >>> No. The FG42 was exclusively used by the Fallschirmjäger and no other units. Yet the Fallschirmjäger customarily kept on & wore their jump leather gloves in combat, as they kept on & wore their jumpsuit, their jump boots, and their jump helmet after having landed. There are though also photograpphs of Fallschirmjäger using the FG42 without wearing gloves. This could happen when they for a long time had not jumped and had been deployed as normal infantry.
actually all of the Internals of this weapon was literally copied from the Lewis gun, designed by an American in ww1. ruclips.net/video/oxbzMRVh6kg/видео.html
@@thegadsdenguru4368 The FG-42 feeds from a 20-round box magazine from the left side of the receiver, can switch between semi-auto (closed bolt) and full-auto (open bolt), has an air-cooled barrel a charging handle on the right side of the receiver, a folding bayonet and a scope mount while the Lewis Gun feeds from 47 or 94-round drums from the top of the receiver, only fires full-auto (open bolt), has a water-cooled barrel (some aircraft-mounted versions and Japanese copies had air-cooled barrels) and a charging handle on the left side of the receiver.
i wouldn’t expect someone who plays roblox to be smart but you’re a dumb one, you can’t say a gun is “fine” because it looks cool, it’s all about functionality.

Also you can choose between open/closed bolt which is rare in modern firearm
The Fallschirmjägergewehr..... beautiful

A german engineering miracle.

This gun will give you a lot more range than the STG as well
If you watch people firing it, it’s somehow even more controllable in full auto than the STG.
and that’s where your wrong, the stg 44 fires a smaller intermediate cartridge while the fg42 fires a huge 8mm mauser cartridge which is very very big
STG is more controllable for sure... much weaker cartridge and lower ROF
Unless is using weird operating systems like blowfoward which increases the felt recoil quite a bit there's no chance am intermediate cartridge is less controllable than a full power one
Next video p08?
"sir you want a light machine gun or a markman rifle?"
"yes"
Oww nice bro
return to castle wolfenstein sold this weapon for me
Same I use it on enemy territory aswell.
The wooden cross makes it so pretty.
Yeah I also like to semi-auto fire with the FG42 in Day of Defeat.
The scope on the gun in the thumbnail makes me think it’s an ww2 scar
How?
The scar even copied the sights

One thing I've wondered for a long time: is the double trigger pull, when switching from full auto to semi auto, correct?
@@kaaitj The double pull is the trigger needs to reset on semi. All semi autos have a disconnector.
it works good.
EPIC
the firing is supposed to reciprocate the receiver into the stock, that is why the spring goes back so far.
Fine German engineering

The gun or the song
Dat background music... pimp my gun
LOL
I want to get this gun
Unknow is coming back
A nice one
After watching this one understands why handguns also are guns...
👌👌👌👌👌👌👏👏
No reverse option.
I'm with Alekis. It's gun porn. Omg all that putting it in then firing. Then strip to clean. Yum.
Wow you got a free app and doing crap anyone that sees this just get gun disassembly 3D and you can have some fun yourself
How it work M1A4
M1A4? There's no such thing man. Maybe you mean M4A1?
