Back when things were made well, with pride. German engineering, American engineering, etc. All of it was exponentially better than the crap we have today.
Not sure why this was in my recommended but it sent me down a three hour gun rabbit hole.
Just wait until you get to the Larry Potterfield gun smithing videos. That is a rabbit hole for days.
This is perfecly normal, please continue.
@@ColoradoStreaming I wish you didn't tell me about it😫
We need a firearm company strictly for exact replica remakes of all the guns through out the centuray expecially ww2
Groovy Panda and at a good price
Try buying an MP40 these days.
TheTyler701 I didn’t mean it in that way, sorry. I meant it as in the asking price for an mp40 is pretty high.
GSG is currently importing MP40 replicas although your forced to either have a stockless one (thus legally making it a pistol) or have one with a false suppressor that gives it a legal barrel length.
that's pretty cool, i'll have to check out if I can own one in California.
Finaly an American who pronounces "Gewehr" the right way :)
*Ahnold Shvazen-eggah voice* “Geveah dreiundvierzig”
Germans cannot pronouce "W". A "W" becomes a "V".
I'm not American, but I admit I used to pronounce it wrong. I used to say "goo-er"
Gewehr dreiundvierzig
AndiotiZ how do you mean it, germans cant pronounce a "w"?
Given that they Germans hadn't fought the Americans until about 1943, and there was a G41, it's much more likely that it was built to emulate the Soviet SVT-40 encountered during Barbarossa, rather than the Garand.
Yes this is true, the G43 copied the SVT-40's gas system. However Germany's ally, Japan, fought the Americans earlier, and the Japanese even tried to make a mechanical copy of the M1 Garand.
EDIT: Despite what the uninformed Wehraboo below me says, German and Japanese cooperation definitely did exist. And in fact the Japanese based many of their tactics on German doctrine. Which actually ironically kind of became a mistake most of the time. For instance Japan copied Germany's paratrooper tactics, which as we all know were pretty terrible at the time before the Germans revised it.
Japanese and German cooperation is much less in-depth than people think they actually did
Yeah, "japanese", of course
Some people can think literally of anyone just to give no credit to famous russian arms designers. Gew. 43 has a gas mechanism copied from SVT-40 to replace the unreliable one of the previous model - Gewehr 42
Germans started fighting the Americans in North Africa in 1942.
@@happybeingmiserable4668 Sure, in the middle of November, so sure, I'll grant you about +40 days in 1942. The first real fighting for the Americans was at Kasserine in Feb 1943.
And to put it in perspective, Kasserine saw the Americans and Brits with 30,000 men losing to a German/Italian force of 22,000 men. Around the same time the Red Army was fighting the Third Battle of Kharkhov, against 70,000-130,000 German forces, with the Red Army also losing despite deploying 210,000 men.
That should make you think about one thing - the crack German forces were on the Eastern Front at the time.

Hhhhhhh
No way. An hour ago I searched for G43 videos and was surprised that there wasn't a Hickok video on it. What sorcery is this!
+Toby Wood We try to monitor all our subscribers, so I saw that you were searching for a G43. We ran outside and quickly did a video on one and posted it. Anything for our viewers!

+hickok45 then im wondering where the gatling gun video is.
+hickok45 well it looks like you got quite a grocery list
+hickok45 lol
The rifle was issued with 3 magazines. One in the rifle and two in an Ammo pouch carried on the soldier's left side. On the soldier's right side was the standard K98K Ammo pouch carrying 30 rounds in 6 five round stripper clips. The soldier could then load a magazine into the rifle with the left hand, keeping the right hand on the stock, the release the bolt so it could go forward. Using the right hand one could load 2 five round stripper clips into the 10 round magazine using the stripper clip guides on the receiver.The rifle came with a scope rail and was also used as a sniper weapon. The STG-44 soon replaced the G-43 as a replacement to the K98K. Good rifle for sure.
Gene Garren The G43 did never replace the K98k, the Stg44 did't replace the G43. They didn't have the manufacturing capacities at the time
Wait so you could not only use magazines but also stripper clips aswell? German engineering truly is the best, Stroheim was right.
@@virgilio6349 The British Lee Enfield was capable of using magazines as well as stripper clips, but they decided to just make the magazine non-removable. Also, it had 10 rounds. Best gun 10/10
@@thepainkiller4939 the sad thing is Enfield clips were also 5 round so sometimes in the heat of the battle soldiers would just reload 1 clip and shoot back instead of taking their time to load 2 clips
Ambidextrous Combat regiments? Thats pretty damn smart.
One of the reasons that I love about Old Military Rifles over Modern Military Rifles is that they have wood. It kind of gives a soul to the gun unlike when it is fully metal.
Newsflash.....there are no rifles made completely out of metal. Polymer replaced the wood.
@@zoranhome That was kind of rude. Guy was just expressing his opinion. He never made a statement claiming any rifle was made completely out of metal so what you're saying doesn't even make sense.
Indeed, most modern weapons are now made of plastic with just the barrel, and bolt metal parts won't be long before they find a plastic capable of handling bullets
Exactly 💯...well said .. modern rifles have little to no character

As long as there are bolt action rifles, the Mauser action will live on.
Hey hey my my
Mauser actions will never die
@Corny Klassen Nearly no modern bolt action rifle uses the enfield system
Absolutely. Definately knocked it out of the park with the design of that action.
@Corny Klassen Well, of course not. But there's no denying the Mauser action.
I honestly love these videos not just for the shooting, but also for the history lessons of each of these weapons.
This guy is like the Bob Ross of guns - ‘there’s a happy little squirrel running around there, but we won’t hurt him’
Man that sound from the G43 is something you don’t hear often. It’s awesome.

Its so damn loud. Back then soldiers didnt use anykind of ear protection.
They still don't.

@@brandonbennett3082 Idiots don't use ear pro. I still use mine and standard issue ear pro have plugs in them that allows for more sound to reach your ears. Also, VA doesn't pay for ear damage so abusing your ears when it can be avoided is the dumbest thing a person can do.
yes and then listen to that rifle in cod world at war haha its a joke
To the "you dont need hearing protection" crowd... 115 DB is the highest safe sound and only for brief exposure. A gunshot is around 140 DB and the sound doubles for every increase of 10 DB so a gunshot is 2.5× the maximum safe noise and that is for an outdoor gunshot.

Love your channel, I apreciate your presentation, enthusiasm, and history.
"Let's don't and say we did." You're the best hickok!
Back in the early 70s I owned 3 of these jewels. The most remarkable thing I remember about mine was how far the rifle flung the spent case after firing. It must have been 30 feet or more! Every case I fired ended up bent at the mouth. I was fortunate enough to have an endless supply of WW2 German steel core ammo for it. What a power house those original cartridges were! The rifles all had a distinctive aroma to them too. Lucky you for being able to handle one now!
i dont even own a firearm but i love watching this guy.....love military history and weapons
This videos are timeless, as are his skills at shooting open sights. It is great getting so much information from real expert.
Being sort of a history geek I really appreciate the fact you show and shoot historical firearms.
Have you read tragedy and hope? If not you haven’t reached geek status yet
Thank you very much for the show Mr. Hickok . I just wanted to add a small detail, the G43 was also sometimes known as the K43. I do own one WITH the original scope.
I consider myself EXTREMELY lucky to own one of these ! Love the video 😁
Back in 1973 while stationed in Kenosa Wisconsin, I was shopping at Sears in the great days of Sears.
I went to the sporting goods where stood a Mauser, checking the price it was $65 stock was modified for a sportsman look, it was also re-chambered for a 30.06
so I bought it, one of the best rifles I ever bought, no complaints...
Thats interesting. I hear nowadays the guys in Kenosha all shoot AR-15s.
@@ColoradoStreaming This Comment aged well.
I started watching your reviews because I was interested in getting my CCW and I was looking for reviews on carry pistols. I grew up in the country and had fired a wide variety of shotguns and rifles. I even have spent some quality time with the M-16 and M-60, but I have very limited experience with handguns. I enjoyed the various carry gun reviews you have done, but I have to admit though I got hooked when you brought out the classic firearms. The history geek in me made me subscribe. Keep them coming.
Great videos you have here sir, I'm always interested in hearing about the history involved with the weapons as well. Keep up the good work.
John could easily have a tv show testing old guns and doing some history on them. He’s got the voice, likeable chilled guy and can shoot. And he loves guns.
I seriously love this channel.
Great video. Really enjoyed the historical commentary and your respect for military history. Thanks for another great video!
The best part is the slow motion at the end with our favorite uncle laughing and shooting lmao
What a Hoss of a weapon. Would love to get my hands on one to round out my WW2 collection!
Your a true pleasure to watch my friend..........Thanks for this vid and all the others we love to watch, I've learned so much, and I've been into guns my whole life. May God bless ya my brother!!
Man you wouldn't believe how fast a SWAT Team would take you down in my country for shooting your guns on your private property.
+Jackles G Doesn't sound as though it's really your "private property." :-)
Charles McCarron how can I describe? Heart of Europe, tiny state, horrible house prices. If you'd like to own a firearm, you'll need a reason. Either it's collecting (you have to say what exactly you'd like to collect), or sport (you have to join a shooting club!) or for hunting. It takes 3 month to get your first permission and one month for each new request. Oh and never use it for self defense. :-)
+Charles McCarron sounds like Austria.
NCaT Charles McCarron
Luxembourg.
+Charles McCarron Freedom doesn't equal owning a gun. Maybe you shouldn't comment on countries you've never been to and know nothing about it's culture or laws. Luxembourg is pretty much the safest country in Europe, and the smallest. As for me personally, while I am intrested in fire arms and can own them, i'd not feel safer with one in the house. Nor do I entertain the illusion that i'd need one to stop my government from oppressing me which seems to be the case with a lot of people in the USA. I think freedom means more then owning a gun, the freedom to think what you want. live how you want, say what you want. I don't see the need for weapons anywhere in there unless ofcourse the democratic process has failed and citizen have no say anymore.
What a rifle, I am very glad you showed it to us. Big like to it.
Dude, your shooting range is so sick. Nice work.
Thank you for a very interesting summary of an historic weapon.
490 more subs and Hickok45 hits 2 million subscribers! what a milestone!!!!
There is only one man who can make firing guns a wholesome thing to watch.
Ya know it is a sweet axe that rings when it smacks the log. Only my really old ones seem to sing like that. Thaks for shootin up the range again. Learned a bunch
It'd be so much fun spending a day with Hickock on his range.
You lucky dog!!! I've always wanted to own a G43. I've held them but never fired one. I agree they are a handsome looking rifle, just like the K98k is for the bolt action rifles. The history of military arms has always been very interesting also. Thanks for the video.
I love that gun! Especially reloading it and the sounds it makes is just amazing.
They always sound like pellet shooters in video games, so it’s refreshing to hear it actually sounds like a real gun irl.
Hickok probable sponsor armourer: "which guns are you gonna need for your next videos?" Kickok: "YES!"
you know how rare those are man you are really lucky to get your hands on this beauty
Congrats on 2 million subs Hickok
The G43 is my favorite rifle ..even over the stg 44 ...there's just something so beautiful about the wood stock and reciver..not to mention it's my go to infantry rifle on battle field 5 ..there's beauty in simplicity ❤
Even if it’s a rushed gun from the war it’s still got that Beautiful German craftsmanship
congratulations on 2 million subs Hickok!
Wow! What a beautiful history lesson you just gave...Thank you.
I always enjoy your content and your soft spoken approach. Thank you..
The gewehr 40 and 43 were direct responses to the Germans fighting the Soviets. They had captured many svt-38 and svt-40s and were impressed by how well they functioned in cold and dirty environments. The Germans hadn't had much experience to this point facing the Garand. So it would be inaccurate saying this rifle was designed due to the success of the m1 Garand.
You forgot to talk about the "thing" on the starboard side of the gun. It's a scope mounting rail for the ZF4 telescopic sight!
+Scotty519 Yep, the downside of unedited videos. I started to mention it once when I was about to shoot but did not get back to it.

you sir are an excellent shot i have watched most of your vids different firearms keep up good work
best greetings from berlin germany for you hickok45 i love your videos especially when you present german weapons on the second world war. they are simply the best weapons ;)
I do so enjoy viewing the demonstration of any and all firearms. You and your son are a favorite of this citizen. I have a request that may not be so easily accomplished. A Sturm Gevehr 44 is what I think I saw Brad Pitt using in the WWII depiction of tank service and drama. It caught my eye immediately and I am interested in anything in the way you would present it.
such a nice and great gun to shoot definitely my weapon of choice for precise medium-long range shooting
When I got into collecting back in the mid 70s, these were $125 at the gun shows. I fell in love with the look of these things...all business, very military, kind of rough with a hint of desperation, but good looking at the same time. It was fun to note the variety in terms of markings, component changes, and general appearance between specimens. We pulled a fair amount of range time with them, sometimes in freezing weather. As long as the recoil springs weren't fatigued, the gas system was clean, and the bolt lubed, these guns ran pretty well. A Shotgun News editor, Pete Kokalis, called the G/K-43s "near pathetic". But to me, the damned things just ooze character and history. Picture what your favorite American gun would look like if it was mass produced by slaves, in a country that was losing the biggest war in history, and in industrial centers that were being bombed around the clock. They are kind of a metaphor for German war equipment of that era.
Guy has some good aim
There's just something satisfying about the sound of a brass cartridge :)
*_The Mosin-Nagant, Gewehr, MP40, Arisaka Type 99, Browning Automatic Rifle (B.A.R), M1 Garand, Springfield 1903, M1A1 Carabine, Thompson M1A1, PPSH (Round Drum Magazine) and Kar98 are my favorite weapons of the WWII._*
This is a good, informative video. I was aware of the StG-44, but not the G43. This was a good introduction.
man that's my dream gun ! I want that and the hmg stg44 and the mg32
There’s a squirrel running up that tree but I’m not gonna hurt em 😂😂😂😂
The G43 is often forgotten about when it comes to popular WW2 guns, and it ain't my favorite, but it just looks really nice.
I could watch these videos all day long!!! Nice shooting by the way!!!!
I would like to congratulate you on your 2,000,000 subs!
I love how this rifle looks when it fires.
Always wanted one and finally pulled the trigger on an AC45 a few days ago.
m1 carbine and the gewehr 43 are my favorite guns or all time, they look beautiful.
I had a M1 made in 44 once. I think this Gewer is the yin to its yang.
For some reason the 8mm Mauser really appeals to me even in rifles outside German surplus rifles. I think it might be the larger bullet to create a larger wound channel than 30-06 (in theory)? It just feels like a good caliber to me.
I like it, too. It never seems as loud to me as the .308 or .30-06.
The original German ammo I once had in the 70's were powerhouses! 195 grain steel core bullets in a steel case. It would penetrate into the water jacket of an engine. The hunting loads we found back then seemed a bit watered down compared the original 1943 loads.
Military rounds are frequently loaded hotter than their civilian counterparts. You could probably wring a bit more range out of a Garand than a G43 but both are good rifles.
Indifferent Centrist a
it does create a larger wound, used to have one for deer and they'd make holes the size of your fist lol
Great caliber for war use back then. Effective on short to mid range and also great on long distances.
I love your channel. I don't own any guns yet but I love learning about them so you channel is awesome!
