About Me
My name is Brandon Herrera. I'm the owner and operator of The AK Guy Inc, a 07 Firearm Manufacturer based out of Fayetteville, NC. I also co-own Stark Media Group, and designed the rifle known as the AK-50.
I've started to dedicate this RUclips channel above all to have fun, but also as a way to document my entrepreneurial journey for the next few years as I try to grow my companies. Hopefully, people can learn from my example, successes, and failures.
Either way, I'm having a lot of fun with it so far, and I hope it's just as fun to follow along!

Thanks for watching guys! We have a lot more stuff coming from our time with DriveTanks.com (next one will be some very rare machine guns...and they speak German). I'm also working on doing a giveaway for the #AKGNotificationSquad that includes getting to go shoot some tanks for yourself, so keep an eye out!

Dislikes come from king tiger crew that got destroyed by a t34 lol
Some Nazi bastards fisted by Stalin left em for that never ending ass pain since 1943.
Or maybe that this man has deemed himself "The AK Guy". Man, Brandon must have a crazy imagination, because my idea of "The AK Guy" would be someone who delivers on projects and sells products at reasonable prices instead of gouging the market with parts kit guns assembled with shitty nitride barrels and US receivers.
Well, the fact is that t-34 is a Soviet tank, designed and first build in Ukrainian USSR.. but Brandon keeps calling it a "russian" tank.. - made me wanna dislike the video 🤷
But I didn't )
@@pavelt5732 except the designer of T-34 was a Russian born in Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia. He could had designed this tank on the moon, it still will be a Russian tank.

What are you doing step Stalin
No joke, the Stalingrad counteroffensive was called Operation Uranus
PanzerMadels intensifies
Panzerfausted!
I know tanks aren’t your specialty, but I would like to point somethings out:
1. The early T-34s are also known as T-34/76s as they had the 76mm gun. There was also the T-34/57, but it was built in much smaller numbers.
2. “Panzer” is a very broad term. The most common German tank, the Panzer IV, could be killed by the 76s fairly easily. It was the Panzer V Panthers and the Panzer VI Tigers the Soviets were worried about, which is why they added the 85mm gun. However, the Tiger would be a pretty rare sight overall, and both the Panther and Tiger suffered from various issues due to being overweight.
3. The T-34/76 had a crew of four (driver, radio operator, commander/gunner, and loader), the 85 had a crew of five. Due to the larger turret, they could have a dedicated commander and gunner.
I have to correct some things you said.
1. The Soviets did not call the 76 mm T-34s the T-34/76. That was the German classification for those tanks, and the West began using it after WWII. The Soviets called them T-34 model [year it was made]. Also, when they actually put the gun’s size in the name, like the T-34-85 and T-34-57, they used a - instead of /.
I think the other two things you said were correct mostly.
@@T---ej2tq just identify himself
Move on folks
X Priest what do you mean
While yes the Panther and Tiger had had many malfunctions and technical problems, they were originally most abundant on the Eastern Front before the Western because for about 2 to 3 years the Soviet Union was the major enemy to the Third Reich. Yes the British and Americans in Africa was a problem but more resources went against the Soviets before the British and Americans
Trevor T yes, in fact, some panthers were pulled from the western front to fight in Kursk...
where half of them broke down and were unusable due to mechanical failures
also panzer is just the word for “tank” (actually a shortened version of panzerkampfwagen) so any tank is a panzer
_"My Russian - and even worse, my Cyrillic - not that good."_
Russian is understandable, but Cyrillic? Comrade, you make us sad.
Cyrillic is easy; it's just like the Latin alphabet. With a few extra letters. That don't look the same.
@@jarink1 да, всё точно так как ты говоришь.
@@jarink1 funny thing is, this extra letters are the same as the Greek alphabet from which the Latin was derived.

I fully support more Brandon Herrera tank reviews.
I'm 8 minutes through this video and just got a notification from Spotify about listening to more Sabaton. Haven't listened to any Sabaton in months. What a coincidence....
The summers on the russian steppe are just as hot as the winters cold. Heatsroke machine go BOOOOOM
I believe these things did not have heaters so the winters weren't all that cozy either.
Denis Kozlowski I wouldn’t assume you’d need it. That motor is bound to heat the inside of the tank.
@@PostalPatriot556 the engine is in the rest of the tank do it wouldn't provide much hest while on the move. Plus they're are contrmptorary accounts from Russian tankers about preferring inferior lend lease Sherman or British Cromwell tanks in the winter because of their heaters.

0:52 *"We probably need to up our armour because we'd really like to kill panzers" so they upgraded to a 85mm gun.*
Yep, not even gonna question that. Makes perfect sense. Sounds exactly like something Brandon would say.
A great offense is a good defense?
Tanks are often referred to as a whole as "Amour" Armour divisions as an example. upping one's armour simply means upgrading your tanks (or other amoured vehicles) to meet the requirements desired.
@@nec4480 that might be what he meant. It's not like he is an actual expert at all things Russian, he just plays one on RUclips.
Think he meant to say Armament but messed up. But tanks aren't his main focus anyways.
@@nec4480 Perhaps. But I still believe it was the side-effect of too much vodka in Texas summer weather. Atleast if his pronunciation of Degterev & vivid thoughts about Stalin fisting Panzers is anything to go by.

“The most magical place on earth, not Disneyland”
This just in: all major battles of WW2 happened during the summer on the Eastern Front, when it was anything but cool, snowy or chilly
Many Americans kind of don't get that Russian summer is the opposite end of Russian winter, very dry and very hot.
"Something that's a little bit harder to get"
Says you, you could spit in a random direction in eastern Europe and hit a T34.
As an American seeing this up close would make me smile like a dummy. Yea for us its the Shermans that are kind of boring because there so common and randomly quite a few people own privates one that can even fire. Plus just seeing the tank that really fought and defeated the Nazi's is something else.

-A Comander who was behind the gun.

-A loader who was at the other side of the gun.
-A radio operator who also shoots the front machine gun.

Basic crew layout of a T34-76 is. Driver, Radio operator, gunner, and commander who doubles as a Loader for the main gun. 85 is the same unless it's late War with the different 85mm gun with a smaller breach, had 5 crew members, allowing the commander to command without having to load the gun
Soviets: we need a gun to be able to kill panzers
Soviet engineers: a gun able to kill tigers coming right up
IS-2 began its combat career in April 1944 in the Ukraine. The IS-1s that had entered the battle before them did not make a special impression on either their soldiers or the enemy: these machines suffered losses that did not correspond to their success. But the same could not be said about IS-2. Let's start with the fact that an unpleasant surprise was presented to the enemy by the survivability of new cars. Even the 88-mm guns of the "Tigers" did not always ensure the defeat of the IS-2.
In the summer of 1944, one of the isovs received 18 hits from 75-mm guns at once and survived. Invulnerable tanks do not exist, but the contrast with the T-34s vulnerable to fire was obvious. One of the marines later recalled that when he saw the damaged ics, his first reaction was surprise: "I thought that nothing would pass through them at all."The real benefit of the IS-2 was the battles of the summer of 1944. IS-2s did not replace medium tanks, they were thrown into battle as part of separate heavy regiments - later brigades - in key areas of the breakthrough. And in this capacity, they proved themselves brilliantly.
- Major battles for settlements often took place according to the same scenario. Ahead, our IS-2 tanks from the corps heavy tank regiment were launched, which broke through the German defenses. Then came, accompanied by motorized infantry, brigade tanks "Sherman" and T-34 tanks, which often immediately burned like matches, from the brigade that constantly accompanied us, " recalls Zakhar Friedman from the reconnaissance company of the mehbrigada.
The key difference between the" tiger " and the IS-2 is the complex of weapons. They differ not even in the level of technology, but conceptually. In the case of the Tiger, we see a gun with excellent ballistic characteristics, very good optics, high rate of fire and high armor penetration. This is a tank gun, the main function of which is to hunt enemy armored vehicles. However, the developers of the IS-2 could not set themselves the task of creating a perfect anti-tank gun. The main enemy of the IS-2 was not enemy tanks, but concrete pillboxes, machine-gun nests in strong stone houses, artillery batteries. And with this problem, the IS-2 gun was fine. Weighing 25 kilograms, the shells gave a sea of shrapnel, and the high-explosive action made it possible to simply "fold" the floors of the house together with the enemy who got inside.
With the task of shooting many enemy tanks, the IS-2 coped somewhat worse than the "Tiger": the low rate of fire interfered. However, the ISU cannot be called defenseless in a collision with tanks. The same 25-kilogram shells rained down on German tanks and self-propelled guns, causing terrible damage.
Heavy equipment under fire from the Iz did not expect anything good. Alexander Fadin recalled:
"Our two IS-2s appear out of nowhere. I saw them for the first time. They drew level with us and stood up. Two "tigers" diverge and go a little forward, as if in a duel. Our crews were ahead of them, simultaneously shot and tore off both towers from the hulls.
One thing is very important here. Repair units of the Wehrmacht were distinguished by excellent equipment and highly qualified personnel. Therefore, it was highly desirable not just to shoot down the German car, but to cause it such damage that there was nothing to repair in it. The 122 mm projectiles did an excellent job.
When used correctly, none of the enemy machine could not feel confident. Interestingly, the "Royal Tigers", first used in the summer of 1944 at the Sandomierz bridgehead, did not make any furor. The collision on the Vistula ended with the fiasco of the new armored vehicles of the Wehrmacht. The 501st heavy battalion of the Wehrmacht, just manned by the "Royal Tigers", was simply defeated by a "team" of several battered Red Army tank units operating from ambushes, only a part of which were Isas. 24 tanks, of which 13 were "Royal Tigers", were lost by the enemy.
The Sabaton Music in the background was a nice touch Brandon.
Agreed, INTO THE MOTHERLAND THE GERMAN ARMY MARCHED!!!
And it was the Radio Tapok cover making it more even more Russian.
YES!
Hey, Brandon! Thank you sooo much for that beautiful episode!
T-34 was a weapon of Victory! It's the most popular tank in Russia. Almost every city have a memorial with actual T-34 tank, on a concrete stand. More than that - many of thia memorial tanks are still operational! (But people aren't allowed to do it, of course)
You pronounced Degtyarev's name almost right. It's really good for an American guy, why didn't specially learn Russian.
If you want and have time, you can ask any of your sub's (including me... yep, i'm a bit selfish here) to teach you a few Russian words. You know, Russians just look brutal, but we're really like to help others to know our culture and our language. It's interesting and fun.
Even more, we can even teach you a Russian alphabet, and read Russian text (but not understand, most probably).
Since you're an AK Guy and loves Russian things, it'll be interesting and useful for you. :)

He did seem to have poetry for being inside something beautiful 🤭😏
@@YugoslavGamer you took it to the next level
He needs to do the "oh no, the tank is on fire, drill". I've heard it was a little difficult on these tanks
Meanwhile the Sherman is laughing in spring loaded hatches
I feel like step one of the "fire" drill is to drill your forehead on the first hatch as you realize going fast in a T34 is extremely painful 😂
Fun fact: When the Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev visited Hollywood, he was so angry that he couldn't go to Disney Land that he immediately left.
Welp. I guess that wasn't magical....
To see and know a man appreciating not just the machine for what it is, but the history of it as well is a good feeling. To see a man sit inside a tank and empathize with the men who fought together is something to be honored. Bravo to you, Brandon. You're a good man.

Lots of T-34 tank gun loaders lost arms due to the recoil and confined space. Those boys deserve a hand.
Original T-34 had 4 crew and a 76mm gun able to destroy any early-war german tank frontally, although the late Panzer IIIs would give them trouble at range. When the Tigers rolled up in 1943 the lackluster penetration of the gun was noted and they upgraded to the early T-34-85 model with 4 crew (driver, radioman, gunner, loader), and then the late one with 5 crew.
My man Brandon is on a FBI list more than likely because he has searched "how to own a t34?"

The Mosin is referred to as the "three-line gun" because 2.54mm (0.1 inches) is an old Russian unit of length called a line. 7.62mm equals three lines, so your 76.2 there would be 30 lines.
Also, awesome pull of Radio Tapok there)
I doubt tank cannon's choice of caliber would have had anything to do with the by-then obsolete line unit anymore, but it does indeed fit in with it.
It's just 3 inch... British Imperial was a universal unit for military equipments back then

76.2 was simply 3 inches. The caliber went all the way to the end of 19th century, way before metric system was adopted in USSR.

@Graham Lopez It often gets called Papasha due to its abbreviation and that translates to Daddy in Russian
Thanks for sharing man, my one grandfather actually did serve in a T-34-85. He was a tank commander as was my other grandfather who served in the American army as a Sherman tank commander, he and his tank were the inspiration for the movie Fury. Which his Sherman tank was named. My grandfather who was a T-34 tank commander fled Germany bringing as many Jews as he possibly could to the Soviet Union, afterwards he enlisted with the Soviet army and eventually worked his way into becoming a tank commander for the Soviet Union. He actually fought in many of the most fierce battles of the eastern front and his T-34 was the first Soviet tank to enter Berlin near the end of WW2. He helped raise the flag of the Red Army atop of the city hall of Berlin 😎👍👍
Later both of my grandfathers made their way into Canada and became good friends. And my parents met when they were quite young and were friends during childhood and are still best friends in a happy marriage. So I guess that I and my siblings are the result of east meeting west in the best possible of ways 😎👍👍
Genuinely heartwarming story, thanks for sharing my man 👍

Into the motherland
The German army march
In the Soviet Union summer 1943
Tanks line up in thousands as far the eye can see
Ready for the onslaught
Ready for the fight
Waiting for the axis to march into a trap
Mines are placed in darkness
In the cover of the night
Waiting to be triggered
When the time is right
Imminent invasion, imminent attack
Once the battle started
There's no turning back
The end of the third Reich draws near
It's time has come to an end
The end of an era is here
It's time to attack!
Into the motherland the German army march
Comrades stand side by side to stop the Nazi charge
Panzers on Russian soil a thunder in the east
One million men at war
Soviet wrath unleashed!
Fields of Prokhorovka
Where the heat of battle burned
Suffered heavy losses
And the tide of war was turned
Driving back the Germans
Fighting on four fronts
Hunt them out of Russia
Out of Soviet land
Reinforce the front line
Force the axis to retreat
Send in all the reserves
Securing their defeat
Soldiers of the Union
Broke the citadel
Ruins of an army
Axis rest in hell
The end of the third Reich draws near
Its time has come to an end
The end of an era is here
Its time to attack
Into the motherland the German army march
Comrades stand side by side to stop the Nazi charge
Panzers on Russian soil a thunder in the east
One million men at war
Soviet wrath unleashed!
Onward comrads! Onwards for the Soviet Union! Charge!
Ow mother Russia!
Union of lands
Will of the people
Strong in command
Ow mother Russia!
Union of lands
Once more victorious the red army stands!
The end of the third Reich is here
Its time has come to an end
The end of an era is here
Its time to attack!
Into the motherland the German army march
Comrades stand side by side to stop the Nazi charge
Panzers on Russian soil a thunder in the east
One million men at war
Soviet wrath unleashed!

Hello fellow Sabatard!
@@philippauli8162 epic 🤘
He is a man of pure dedication and sheer fucking will.
T-34/76 had a crew of 4: driver and radio operator (also bow MG operator) in the front compartment, gunner (also tank commander) and gun loader in the turret.
T-34/85 had a crew of 5: driver and radio operator (also bow MG operator) in the front compartment, gunner, tank commander and gun loader in the turret.
7,62 mm is 3 inch. This was most common caliber in Imperial Russian Army for field artillery and it was inherited by the Red Army. More over, the cartridge, that was used in T-34/76 gun was the same, as used by the divisional guns m1910/30, F-22, ZiS-3 and some other systems. Most contemporary tanks had much smaller caliber guns.
T-34/76 and T-34/57s had 4 man crews, the 85s had 5 men. The 76.2mm was actually partly because the Soviets chambered most of their early small arms in 7.62 caliber, with the Nagant revolver being 7.62x38, the Tokarev 7.62x25, Rifles and MGs in 7.62x54R, and then the intermediate 7.62x39 for the RPD, SKS and eventually the AK-47/AKM, with their heavier arms in 76.2mm. They had a lot of artillery from the Imperial era, into the Civil War, then kept in the Soviet period with guns in 76.2mm, be it howitzers or longer barreled guns for artillery, AT or AA roles later, and they outfitted the T-28 medium, T-35 heavy tanks using the howitzer, the KV-1 using a longer barrel 76.2 gun, and eventually 2 different 76.2mm guns for the T-34 with the A-11 and F-34 guns with the latter being the same one on the KV-1 tanks because it was more accurate, had more velocity, and handled better.
The earliest 3" or 76.2mm gun I found used by the Russians was the M1900 field gun used in the Russo-Japanese war, and considering how the Germans had a 77mm gun, some nations primarily used 75mm guns like the Japanese and French, and the Americans used both 75mm and 76.2mm/3 inch guns, its safe to assume that field guns around this caliber were considered acceptable as field guns due to their HE performance and since the M1900 was able to fire faster than the Japanese 75mm gun, I speculate that this was an intentional caliber of artillery for the sake of being able to fire rapidly and did not have anything like heavy concrete bunkers to come across that often which meant the HE was intended primarily to hit other artillery pieces, riflemen, later machinegun crew nests, and the 75mm, 76.2mm, and 77mm (7,7cm by Germans) was a perfectly capable caliber for these roles and proved to still be effective when faced with WW1 and even early WW2 tanks that had armor designed and produced throughout the prewar 1930s.
the reason we see these calibers for artillery while AT and some AA guns had ranged from 20mm to 37 and 45mm calibers was because of weight and the lower caliber AT guns were more than capable of penetrating the likes of Pz. Is, II,s Vz. 35 LTs, Vz. 38 LTs, British cruiser tanks, T-26s, BT series tanks, Renault FT tanks and their variants from WW1, and French tanks excluding the Char B1 heavy tank, the Soviet KV series tanks, the T-34 and later Pz. III and IV variants that needed the longer 45mm or long 57mm guns by the Soviets, the 57mm being a High Velocity gun used in about 370 T-34s in place of the F-34 76.2mm gun to serve as tank hunters.
I'm disappointed in my AKguy here, clearly his area of expertise of more Cold War era.
When you grow up on potatoes and sawdust bread you end up a little smaller.
Came for the tank, stayed for the sabaton background music

I am sure more than a few Germans learned that the hard way.
Yeah they were kinky

3:30 The T-34 originally had a crew of 4: driver, hull machine-gunner, main gunner, and a commander who had to do double duty as a loader, only the main gunner and commander/loader were in the turret. In the T-34-85, they add a loader position to the turret, bringing the number to 5 total, 3 in the turret.
I thought in the T-34/76 the commander was also the gunner?
@@1111kila no the commander was the loader on the 76 model
In the early versions of the T34 the command was the gunner at same time, in the 85 version with a larger turret, they added the gunner seat so the commander could focus more in spotting and guiding the driver while the gunner operates the main gun and coax
4:25 I like how you said a couple of months. They were built because they knew that they would only last a couple of battles before being taken out, so there’s no need for extra things like comfort.
I appreciate this look at the vehicle that will help Brandon's Journey to Babushka #akgnotificationsquad

me: impossible
I a PPSH-41 junkie too, I can't get enough of that shit, but love the P-90 too, but it's kind of a modern gun in a similar role, coincidence?
What’s cool about this is that there is a T-54 brought back from the Middle East (?) on the military base near my house. Couldn’t see the inside or climb on top, but definitely got to touch it.

I immediately clicked off the vid I was watching when I saw “t34 ww2 tank” pop up
So jealous. Always been a HUGE fan of the T-34. I MUST GO HERE BEFORE I DIE
His edditor is a man of culture
He puts in a lot of iconic songs either during the vids or at the end of a video
This time, he chose "Panzerkampf" by Sabaton in the beginning.
I really appreciate it, man
"He feels more safe in the t34th than outside it"

He actually right, outside you'd be rekt by artillery barrage

Hello comrade
M22 37 m against t 34s and panzer 4- hehe I’m in danger
@State of Wyoming But how many infantry would have rather been inside?
Hell yea sabaton in the beginning
As you asked about the 4th guy - usually you‘d have a driver, some type of tank crew chief, a guy to operate and aim the main gun and a guy to load it.
Т-34-85 had actually 5 man crew: driver-mechanic, radio man/forward machine gunner, gunner, loader and commander (original T-34 didn't have a loader). But sometimes a crew could only have 4 men in case of manpower shortage (in that case radio man seat was vacant)
Ok this is epic. But I really want a “how it works” TT-33, or anything on the TT-33. A mud test would be EPIC.
You know inRange did one?
TT-33 how it works=colt 1908 how it works.
SovietSniper45 what do you mean? You think their mud test was unfair?
it just brings joy to me seeing Brandon beeing the kid in the candystore, sitting in and talking about his passion
In my stay out at camp Wilson last month, I got the best cellphone service on top of the Marine Corps’ collection of two T-55’s, a 2S1 Gvozdika, a T65, and two soviet AA Guns with 4 DShK’s each
Love the use of Sabaton in the beginning.
Keep that going man!
On this episode of “Inside the AK Guy’s Hatch”....
The crossover I didn't know I needed.
*Nicholas Moran* would like to know your location
btw if you want to learn more about tanks like that search "the chieftain" on youtube, he has an amazing series where he exlains all the things about tanks
From what I understand about the T-34 is there was 5 crew members: A Driver, a forward MG gunner, a loader, a gunner (for the main gun), and the commander.
There was a t34 beside the Russian schoolhouse at the Defense Language Institute in Monterrey back in the 90s. We used to crank the gun around to point at people walking by and see if they noticed.
