Fun fact: the sawed-off 40 mm grenade launcher was used by MACVSOG during the Vietnam war in Laos and Cambodia. "The M-79 stock was trimmed and the barrel was cut back severely to make it lighter and less cumbersome in the field."(this is from the caption underneath an image of the author holding the sawed-off m-79)- Across the Fence by John Stryker Meyer
I think that's the book that talks about how he came into possession of a real China Lake launcher too. Excellent read to anyone interested in SF or that era!
7:14 This sawn off version was often carried by MACV-SOG guys in Vietnam. While doing ops in Laos and Cambodia, they devised it to use as a kinda sidearm. A beast to shoot they said.
The Critical Drinker send off at the end was just perfect to the stupid fun video. Nice touch Brandon. And as a Bulgarian muppet my self everything AK related with a curse image hurts my soul.
If you haven't figured it out by now Brandon, there's not a single Bethesda dev who has ever seen a functional firearm much less held or fired one. There are a number of youtube videos analyzing the guns of Fallout to show how bad they are. Most of them would probably make it on an episode of Cursed Gun Images if anyone tried to make them for real.
@@SwagCentralYTit’s one thing being retro futuristic, it’s another when NONE OF THEM WOULD WORK (ok not none, but there’s more than a few guns that literally would not function
I'm convinced that the CURRENT developers at Bethesda never held or fired a functional firearm, the guns in Fallout 3 however are pretty damn close to their real-world counterparts maybe a few creative freedoms here and there.
The chopped m79s were very popular with SF teams in Vietnam, often loaded with buck shot, they were an excellent counter-ambush or crowd control weapon.
Ian at Forgotten Weapons did a video on the glove gun, and really went over how useless it was. Starting with the fact they only issued one glove so you had to explain why you were wearing only one glove
@@The_Ballo If you were listening to Brandon, he mentioned a "punch to the back of the head".... on another note, I'll have to go search Ian's video on this.
I am always reminded of my grandads old "squirrel gun" when I see these episodes. He made a pistol grip, break breech, 8 gauge shotgun with a 14 inch barrel. We just called it the arm breaker. Still remembering him getting P.O.ed at a couple chipmunks nesting in his wood pile. Be sitting in the back yard and there'd be granddad sitting in his porch chair calm as can be. Glance away and the BOOOOM! The wood pile would toss a few logs around and there'd be a greasy smear on one of them. Chip and Dale stood no chance.
The MG34 thing was the XMG. It was originally meant to be for people who had full auto M16 lowers. They could attach it to the MG34 and now have a full auto belt fed. The ATF, shortly after approving it, decided that it was too spicy. They decided no one was allowed to attach a full auto lower, completely killing the whole point of it. My biggest concern about this one is why is the receiver so comically long?
@christopheryoung4394 - the mg34 and 42 receivers are generally pretty long- a little shy of 13" iirc. This one looks even longer because of being extended for the AR buffer tube? @@earlwyss520 There was TNW out of Oregon that had a semi auto 34 receiver as well, but that was a receiver based off the original, but also redesigned to be semi auto, iirc.
I’m so happy I’m not the only one who remembers the good old days of cheap mg parts kits. I remember m53 kits with two barrels selling for $400. People would make all this kind of stuff out of them since the parts were so cheap. I wanna say an MG 34 kit with a chopped receiver was $750ish around the time these were made. Plus the mg34 is a really nicely built gun. It would cost a ton of money to build one today.
You gotta love the fact that Brandon doesn't even have to produce half of his political advertising. Considering the let's go Brandon merch that's going around. Fucking genius.
I remember reading that the glove gun was meant to sit in ur palm so it would be more concealed. The book actually made a joke that it was the source of many lost fingers as u had to wrap ur fingers around/between the barrel/button.
Wendigoon would probably make a 1hour+ video about that horror AK including who designed it, the lore of the world it is in, and it's influence on pop culture
See, this is the worst part about Cursed Gun Images - It's not the guns being reviewed, it is the fact that you never know when Brandon is going to pull out the exact gun on screen
@@CorvusCorone68 yeah but where's the fun in that, turn making a cursed gun submission into a learning experience on metal working, gunsmithing, and evading the police
That was... actually a pretty dang good Critical Drinker impression. Though I suppose Brandon has plenty of experience getting into the proper state of mind for it.
The "Glove Gun" was originally given to C.B.'s in WWII. For equipment operators, ie bulldozer, steam roller , etc. Since the confined space of the equipment made it a bit snug to carry or have a full size rifle. Yes, the OSS and SOE did employ them as well. Came in .38spl.
@@stevee8318belt buckle pistols, glove guns and ring guns were all used. The idea was to use it on someone who isn't suspecting it. Usually point blank In the head.
I have a great deal of difficulty in accepting that statement. CBs are engineers, construction workers, not direct combatants. That 'glove gun' would be a hazard as they worked. As for a light, compact weapon, the M1 carbine would be a good fit.
@@JM-lk6wo It was DESIGNED to be used BY heavy equipment operators. The .30 Carbine was NOT adapted by the military until late 42, early 43. This was a STOPGAP for them.
Am I the only one who noticed the hole in that glove... indicating that someone put the glove on with the gun in their palm, then apparently pulled the trigger with their ring finger... which would have basically amputated their middle finger...?
Hey I've shot one of those ungodly 1911 pcc uppers before when I was in gunsmithing school in Kalispell MT. They're made there by Mectec and they're honestly fun to shoot when they don't jam.
I'll throw in another fun fact: sawn off thumper (M79) was not only used by SOG in Vietnam (although I have also seen photos of LRRPs with sawn off stocks and regular barrels), but also by SEALs in late 2000s-early 2010s with a Docter red dot mounted to it. How? Well I have no idea. But just imagine firing a 40mm buckshot out of this thing...
10:39 that same idea would be inspired by the in-game design referred to as the ballistic fist from fallout new vegas which was a modified and manufactured punchy fist that shot shotgun slugs, and or pellets depending on the desired destruction you would have wanted.
The Vollmer "Fullauto Beltfed G3" around 12:15 or so was offered by HK as the "HK21" The funny thing is, that the originals are able to be fed from normal G3 Mags, as well as the belt feed option. The german Border guard (Bundespolizei, former Bundesgrenzschutz) still sometimes (very seldom) uses these on top of MRAP-type vehicles, they are designated "G8".
He really should try one...They are really nice to shoot. It failed mainly because they were trying to sell them to dictators outside Germany and it was too expansive. Its like a rolls royce it was so nicely machined.
Yep, Vollmer and others took ones that got chopped or torched up and remade them using hk91 receivers or others like them. They are much more fun cut down really short though. ruclips.net/video/MUHrKFErAIU/видео.html
The pistol grip with the 12,7 mm cartrigde at 10:00 is a part of the hungarian "Bátori Épszol M1" anti materiel rifle. To reaload, basically you have to remove the grip, remove the shell casing, put a new cartigde on the front of the grip and push in the grip and turn like a bolt action rifle. You can see the vertical 2 locking lugs behind the cartridge.
I am a gunsmith. the first 2 are mech tech ccu conversions that are very cheap accurate and have nice triggers unlike most modern pccs. Granted they were set up in the most homely way possible. I recommend the 460 Rowland ccu for 1911. First make the conversion into a 10 inch pistol and keep your gun as a pistol don't install it as a rifle length. If you want something better than what everybody else has. Like a 44 magnum uzi with a 1911 trigger
I haven't checked the laws in a bit but I believe you can convert a pistol frame or receiver into a rifle and back into a pistol but if it leaves the factory as a rifle it must remain one. It's why other conversions like some of the ronis come with a 16 inch barrel
I have one of those Mech Tech uppers for a Glock 23. I got it on Gunbroker for around $150, and a Glock 23 lower for $125. The upper came with the MP5 style collapsible stock. It looks like a cheap tube but quickly became my favorite PCC. It eats EVERY kind of ammo and spits it out. Reloads, steel case, aluminum case, +p, hollow points, etc. I've literally never jammed it. It's accurate too. Really the only downside is that it looks a little cheap. I'd trust it with my life way before I would my MPA.
Hey Brandon this is the first message I've ever written on RUclips. I watch Kentucky, demo, donut, all of you guys and I've never sent a message, I love you all but like I said have never sent any of you guys a message. I just watches a video of you dealing with 2 Australians who all though seemed to have fun on the range, still don't get the really picture of the USA, your tolerance and professionalism, amazed me, but I also expect no less from you. If I lived in Texas you'd have my vote in a heart beat. I know I sound long winded due to white claw, but I love your content and let's go brandon.
The RPG-lava lamp is something I want to have since the childhood days of playing San Andreas. In the mission where you need to burn the weed farm, in the end you need to use an RPG to shoot down a police helicopter. When CJ asks the Trutth why he has an RPG (being a pacifist and all that) he says he wanted to turn it into a lamp (not sure if regular or lava lamp, been a while). Even back then I found that idea fascinating.
I suffer from a tooth extraction to come back home and watch Brandon suffer in cursed gun images....pretty much makes the day go on the upturn, also love the drinker reference! Have a great day dude!
The shorty M79 was actually adapted in the field by SOG in Vietnam. They wanted something that could fit in a rucksack but had more range than a hand thrown grenade.
During your commentary about the p90 conversion you turned into Kevin Kline in a fish called Wanda!.. yes I am old and have a lot of time on my hands 🙌
Before the whole situation was explained with the "signal gun" was I was thinking "Well, if they don't fully locate you by the sound of the round going off, your screams of agony should get them the rest of the way."
The swan off M79 was used a lot by Green Berets in MACV-SOG. According to some vets like John Stryker Meyer and Lynne Black Jr. They did have a kick but were very useful against the NVA in Laos, Cambodia and North Vietnam.
It's probably more well-known on RUclips for being a signature weapon of the Far Cry series of video games... where it is classed as a PISTOL. Meaning it can be fired one-handed while ziplining. Because why the hell not? I suspect the creators were watching documentaries for inspiration, saw the SOG guys with one, thought "if Rambo was a gunsmith, he'd make this", and felt obligated to put it in their game.
@@henryrodgers7386 Possible yeah, SOG operators took hacksaws to almost everything in their arsenal. Sawn off RPDs and M60s were common. Hell one guy sawed off the pistol grip of a Car-15 and attached it to the handguard of his own and Boom you have a decent front grip. There's a book called SOG a Photo visual History that has a lot of pictures of weapons and equipment used. I highly recommend it
The MG34/AR combo is rather cool. It turns an old surplus parts-kit LMG into something actually usable without needing the traditional proprietary trigger housing section. Very neat and nifty.
I'm split because I'm an absolute WWII gun nerd, and it hurts my soul to see an MG-34 cut up like that, but it's also really cool because now you can own legally legally.
they were actually made commercially as the XMG by BRP guns, who are the same people who made things like the Stemple Takedown Guns which are pretty cool as well they can fire 308 and 8mm mauser, and ive seen some people put binary triggers in the lowers, it seems to work pretty well with it and ideally it was made for people who had full auto lowers so you could basically get an MG34 or full auto belt fed in general for an affordable price
Brandon: Yes, my sweet gun enjoyers, I have come to save you! Us: Yay, it's Brandon Herrera! Brandon: With cursed guns! Us: Oh no, it's Brandon Herrera....
11:05 - *"You might remember it from assassination scene in Inglorious Basterds."* I most certainly do. When I saw that first image I immediately thought of the Bear Jew using it to take out one of the guards.
I’d love to see Brandon start a Cursed Gun Pawn Shop American Tour where he goes to pawn shops and gun stores across the country saving cursed guns and restoring them to their original glory.
9:53 Died on “Du Hwot?” Much funnier that what it actually is to me. 😂😂😂😂😂 Also, I SAW THAT CURSED GUN AT THE END!!! Jims pawn and gun on Yadkin. Sweeeeet!
About the belt fed G3, it does exist as one of HK’s weapons (albeit not the cursed one). It’s the HK21. It most recently made an appearance in CoD MWII (Rapp H). I think it’s an interesting gun.
It was Bill Fleming, the guy who decided he wanted a G3 shortened down to MP5 form factor, into the 'HK51,' who also decided he wanted to do that with a HK21 as well, making the belt-fed 'HK51B' or 'MC51.' Hilariously loud guns.
The sawed off M79 was a common sidearm carried by MACV-SOG guys across the fence. Usually the first round was loaded with buckshot, and then they'd yeet out HE after that.
Brandon is very much relatable to most of his audience, he rather often mentiones other youtube channels (from top of my head, he mentioned russian badger and count dankula)
The slow realization for Brandon is that though these are cursed. He is slowly gaining a morbid curiosity that makes him have to look inward at his own fascination with such curses. For as they say, "When you stare too long into the abyss, the abyss compels you to make a kalashniglock." Or some shit like that, I never finished college.
If you can remember, let me know how that goes. Hickok got me interested in that but after some reading I seen quite a few people talk about how they're useless.. no real classes, and they apparently just send you youtube videos to learn from. Not at all what I was hoping it'd be.
I love this series, I finally get these jokes after going 32 years without owning a gun. LOL. I made up for lost time in the past 3 years of gun ownership.
Fun fact: HK has made G3 into belt-fed machine guns The HK21 And The GR-9 special forces Prototype And of course since it’s the Vollmer, HK51B, Belt-fed 7.62x51mm MP5 There’s also the HK25 proposal, which is basically HK21 chambered in .50 BMG
The thing that disturbs me the most about that KP-9 isn't the gas tube, or the handguard gap, or the stiple grip on the magazine (the part that I would not be holding) ... no, it's the $700 price tag that they decided they would attach to it.
14:52 the Mech-Tec uppers have been around for a long time and they're actually a hell of alot better then any of those snap on chassis gimmicks. Polenar Tactical interviewed an Irish guy that did PSD and hostage rescue work in Latin America (it's a good interview he was one of the people that responded to the westgate mall attack) they were only allowed to have handguns so he would go on leave in the US buy mech tec uppers, bring them down and they would use them on their registered glock pistol frames as the "MP5 we have at home" I remember seeing those MG34 uppers in SGN I thought they were a based way to utilize the 34 kits that were coming in, until the fun police that should be a convenience store not a federal agency decreed that they were illegal to use on transferable lowers.
I love how you got the Jims Pawn sticker in there 😂 13:33 I frequent them in Wilmington about once a month since their only about 30 mins from me. Havent been to the Fayetteville shop though, and now will never.
Few years back they made and marketed dedicated mg 34 style uppers that pinned on unmodified ar 15 lowers chambered for 7.92x57 and .308 they sold for about 3 or 4 thousand, but went out of business due to ATF chicannary. Customer reviews on the site suggested that they were decently reliable for a closed bolt semi auto beltfed.
I think one of the things they wanted was to let people use registered full-auto AR15 lowers with their uppers, but which the ATF said wasn't allowed. Shame.
The ATF declared the mg 34 uppers to be a firearm and not a dedicated part or parts kit. Registered nfa lowers didn't bother them. It was when people started putting fosstech echo triggers in the semi lowers that (pun intented) triggered them into making the unsanctioned rule. The dimes were a fun time to be alive in america, at least the first half was.
My dad would've shit seeing that massive scope mounting in one place. Dad was the greatest gunsmith in the country. Possibly in the world. He would've made his own mount for the AK. Love ya brother. Keep the videos coming brother. PEACE ✌️
It never ceases to amaze me that backwoods, hillbilly ingenuity can come up w/ unique stuff that leaves us speechless... not a bad thing, if it wasn't for moonshine, we wouldn't have Bourbon, I rest my case! Cool vid and as always, keep the content coming.❤
7:01 MACV-SOG were responsible for that. John Stryker Meyer talks about doing that hacksaw job because of weight savings, compactness, and in a firefight in triple canopy jungle the loss of any muzzle velocity isnt a problem because you're basically in knife fighting range.
Did Brandon quote the critical drinker with "that's all I got for today, go away now" line at us? Mad respect for that one. And doing a damn good accent. LMFAO 😂
I remember seeing photos of the punch gun in, Weapon: A Visual History of Arms and Armor when I was a little kid. I checked that thing out from the library way too many times
Brandon I don’t know if you’ll see this wanted to let you know on the 2nd of this month I was in a bad accident on my motorcycle a lady tboned me and I lost my leg anyways wanted to thank you for bringing me joy while I lay here best part of my day is when I watch your videos. love you bro keep doing what your doing

The chopped m79s were very popular with SF teams in Vietnam, often loaded with buck shot, they were an excellent counter-ambush or crowd control weapon.
And the high low pressure system meant they had little recoil
LRRP would chop em like that to reduce weight and called them Pirate Guns. Their portable artillery.

Chopped barrels on the M79 makes me wonder at which point does the spin not arm the grenade. Because a significant amount of rifling has been removed.

I'm always amazed at how RUclipsrs I watch are weirdly connected. If Brandon now says he is also a Mauler fan, I'll go completely nuts. :D
@@Sunrunner663 Hmm, Brandon does have a lot of _long_ guns... 🤔
The "Glove Gun" was originally given to C.B.'s in WWII. For equipment operators, ie bulldozer, steam roller , etc. Since the confined space of the equipment made it a bit snug to carry or have a full size rifle. Yes, the OSS and SOE did employ them as well. Came in .38spl.
No wonder they were probably never used, what a crackpot idea to issue this instead of a 1911 or a simple knife.
@@stevee8318belt buckle pistols, glove guns and ring guns were all used. The idea was to use it on someone who isn't suspecting it. Usually point blank In the head.
I have a great deal of difficulty in accepting that statement. CBs are engineers, construction workers, not direct combatants. That 'glove gun' would be a hazard as they worked. As for a light, compact weapon, the M1 carbine would be a good fit.
imagine moving around in cramped quarters and NOT bumping that plunger on everything
@@JM-lk6wo It was DESIGNED to be used BY heavy equipment operators. The .30 Carbine was NOT adapted by the military until late 42, early 43. This was a STOPGAP for them.
Now I begin patiently waiting for Donut to show up in the glove gun video and yelling “Congressman Herrera, get down!” while punching the dummy
I hope this happens... it MUST happen.😅
Am I the only one who noticed the hole in that glove... indicating that someone put the glove on with the gun in their palm, then apparently pulled the trigger with their ring finger... which would have basically amputated their middle finger...?
Hey I've shot one of those ungodly 1911 pcc uppers before when I was in gunsmithing school in Kalispell MT. They're made there by Mectec and they're honestly fun to shoot when they don't jam.
Does this mean that we're going to get Brandon as a guest on FNT or Open Bar?
Because it really needs to be a thing.
Please this would be funny
Man either one would be fucking amazing!
Would need a topic for brandon to cover. He doesnt seem like the movie/media pop culture kind of guy
@@braydoxastora5584have you seen his videos breaking down movies?
Well he loved th comment, so we can hope.
I'll throw in another fun fact: sawn off thumper (M79) was not only used by SOG in Vietnam (although I have also seen photos of LRRPs with sawn off stocks and regular barrels), but also by SEALs in late 2000s-early 2010s with a Docter red dot mounted to it. How? Well I have no idea. But just imagine firing a 40mm buckshot out of this thing...
Called it the Pirate Gun...
my brother in christ, that's a damn blunderbuss 😂
Seen one back in 1968 or 69. Never saw it fired though.
That shits in payday 2
Came here to point that out. That shit isn't cursed, it's *legit* and it slaps.
Always keen for another Critical Gunner videos.
Love the lore and breakdowns.
10:39 that same idea would be inspired by the in-game design referred to as the ballistic fist from fallout new vegas which was a modified and manufactured punchy fist that shot shotgun slugs, and or pellets depending on the desired destruction you would have wanted.
That critical drinker impersonation at the end killed me 😂
The Vollmer "Fullauto Beltfed G3" around 12:15 or so was offered by HK as the "HK21"
The funny thing is, that the originals are able to be fed from normal G3 Mags, as well as the belt feed option. The german Border guard (Bundespolizei, former Bundesgrenzschutz) still sometimes (very seldom) uses these on top of MRAP-type vehicles, they are designated "G8".
Yeah, it was also used in the Soccer War
He really should try one...They are really nice to shoot. It failed mainly because they were trying to sell them to dictators outside Germany and it was too expansive. Its like a rolls royce it was so nicely machined.
Yep, Vollmer and others took ones that got chopped or torched up and remade them using hk91 receivers or others like them. They are much more fun cut down really short though. ruclips.net/video/MUHrKFErAIU/видео.html
The pistol grip with the 12,7 mm cartrigde at 10:00 is a part of the hungarian "Bátori Épszol M1" anti materiel rifle. To reaload, basically you have to remove the grip, remove the shell casing, put a new cartigde on the front of the grip and push in the grip and turn like a bolt action rifle. You can see the vertical 2 locking lugs behind the cartridge.
11:55 I figured out how to fire it normally, the muzzle flash almost took off my knuckles and fingers
That critical drinker mimic was a thumbs-up moment for me. Well done.
I am a gunsmith. the first 2 are mech tech ccu conversions that are very cheap accurate and have nice triggers unlike most modern pccs. Granted they were set up in the most homely way possible. I recommend the 460 Rowland ccu for 1911. First make the conversion into a 10 inch pistol and keep your gun as a pistol don't install it as a rifle length. If you want something better than what everybody else has. Like a 44 magnum uzi with a 1911 trigger
I assumed they were Mech Tech uppers. I haven't heard anything about them in years. Thanks for confirming that.
Soooo...could someone thread these uppers and run it suppressed safely?
I like the way you think
I haven't checked the laws in a bit but I believe you can convert a pistol frame or receiver into a rifle and back into a pistol but if it leaves the factory as a rifle it must remain one. It's why other conversions like some of the ronis come with a 16 inch barrel
I have one of those Mech Tech uppers for a Glock 23. I got it on Gunbroker for around $150, and a Glock 23 lower for $125. The upper came with the MP5 style collapsible stock. It looks like a cheap tube but quickly became my favorite PCC. It eats EVERY kind of ammo and spits it out. Reloads, steel case, aluminum case, +p, hollow points, etc. I've literally never jammed it. It's accurate too. Really the only downside is that it looks a little cheap. I'd trust it with my life way before I would my MPA.
Hey Brandon this is the first message I've ever written on RUclips. I watch Kentucky, demo, donut, all of you guys and I've never sent a message, I love you all but like I said have never sent any of you guys a message. I just watches a video of you dealing with 2 Australians who all though seemed to have fun on the range, still don't get the really picture of the USA, your tolerance and professionalism, amazed me, but I also expect no less from you. If I lived in Texas you'd have my vote in a heart beat. I know I sound long winded due to white claw, but I love your content and let's go brandon.
The RPG-lava lamp is something I want to have since the childhood days of playing San Andreas. In the mission where you need to burn the weed farm, in the end you need to use an RPG to shoot down a police helicopter. When CJ asks the Trutth why he has an RPG (being a pacifist and all that) he says he wanted to turn it into a lamp (not sure if regular or lava lamp, been a while). Even back then I found that idea fascinating.
as a hungarian, that revolver of self destruction gave me an anneurism for a moment until i read the plate.
btw, love the channel!
I suffer from a tooth extraction to come back home and watch Brandon suffer in cursed gun images....pretty much makes the day go on the upturn, also love the drinker reference! Have a great day dude!
Oh you suffer huh
@@daledoback9566 well yeah it kinda fucking sucked, and this video improved my mood, lol!
@@predatorking3131 Which one is it now, kinda fucking sucked, or you suffered?
@@predatorking3131 I’m just pulling your leg haha, all in good fun.
The shorty M79 was actually adapted in the field by SOG in Vietnam. They wanted something that could fit in a rucksack but had more range than a hand thrown grenade.
And carried well into the GWOT with SF and SEALs. Surprisingly Brandon didn't know this
Bro running a dodge build from payday 2
During your commentary about the p90 conversion you turned into Kevin Kline in a fish called Wanda!.. yes I am old and have a lot of time on my hands 🙌
Before the whole situation was explained with the "signal gun" was I was thinking "Well, if they don't fully locate you by the sound of the round going off, your screams of agony should get them the rest of the way."
Brandon’s cursed gun series being sponsored by SDI almost seems like a way to keep this series going lol #akgnotificationsquad
On the last day of every semester they get to slack off and make weird guns.
The swan off M79 was used a lot by Green Berets in MACV-SOG. According to some vets like John Stryker Meyer and Lynne Black Jr. They did have a kick but were very useful against the NVA in Laos, Cambodia and North Vietnam.
It's probably more well-known on RUclips for being a signature weapon of the Far Cry series of video games... where it is classed as a PISTOL. Meaning it can be fired one-handed while ziplining. Because why the hell not?
I suspect the creators were watching documentaries for inspiration, saw the SOG guys with one, thought "if Rambo was a gunsmith, he'd make this", and felt obligated to put it in their game.
You could also load them with buckshot rounds
@@TheGamingHellhound Buckshot rounds, CS Gas Rounds, and Flechette rounds.
@@henryrodgers7386 Possible yeah, SOG operators took hacksaws to almost everything in their arsenal. Sawn off RPDs and M60s were common. Hell one guy sawed off the pistol grip of a Car-15 and attached it to the handguard of his own and Boom you have a decent front grip. There's a book called SOG a Photo visual History that has a lot of pictures of weapons and equipment used. I highly recommend it
It's even used by some Special Forces teams today. Colloquially known as a "Pirate Gun".
It makes my so happy that the exact DJ Blyatman song is recommended for me on this video haha.
Amazing content as always brother, stay awesome.

Not even gonna joke here like I normally do. F

The MG34/AR combo is rather cool. It turns an old surplus parts-kit LMG into something actually usable without needing the traditional proprietary trigger housing section. Very neat and nifty.
I love if it works without modifying the mg34 parts, hate it if it does require modification on the mg34 parts
I'm split because I'm an absolute WWII gun nerd, and it hurts my soul to see an MG-34 cut up like that, but it's also really cool because now you can own legally legally.
It looks like a Star Wars prop more than anything I feel.
I don't hate it but wouldn't own it either
they were actually made commercially as the XMG by BRP guns, who are the same people who made things like the Stemple Takedown Guns which are pretty cool as well
they can fire 308 and 8mm mauser, and ive seen some people put binary triggers in the lowers, it seems to work pretty well with it and ideally it was made for people who had full auto lowers so you could basically get an MG34 or full auto belt fed in general for an affordable price
Brandon: Yes, my sweet gun enjoyers, I have come to save you!
Us: Yay, it's Brandon Herrera!
Brandon: With cursed guns!
Us: Oh no, it's Brandon Herrera....

I most certainly do.
When I saw that first image I immediately thought of the Bear Jew using it to take out one of the guards.
I’d love to see Brandon start a Cursed Gun Pawn Shop American Tour where he goes to pawn shops and gun stores across the country saving cursed guns and restoring them to their original glory.
Don’t dis Nickelback or we can’t be friends
The Pawn shop in Fayetteville where he's from is infamous for such guns
Me: That's enough internet for Brandon.
Seconds later, Brandon: That's enough internet for me today.

Died on “Du Hwot?”
Much funnier that what it actually is to me. 😂😂😂😂😂
Also, I SAW THAT CURSED GUN AT THE END!!! Jims pawn and gun on Yadkin. Sweeeeet!
Near the end...what...what is that discount back ally Gucci weapon?
I find the RPG lava lamp to be very creative and would be interesting to own!
Atf: whats that!?
Me: lava lamp why?
Atf: oh.... ok then... (leaves)
Me: picks up rpg and loads rocket while giggling maniacally 😂😂😂
The RPG lava lamp is definitely a win.
I'm making one of those for the gun room.
That cutdown M79 is an actual modification used by some US military forces. It is more well known by Special Forces users as the "Pirate Gun".
Was not expecting a reference The Critical Drinker but I'm all for it
About the belt fed G3, it does exist as one of HK’s weapons (albeit not the cursed one). It’s the HK21. It most recently made an appearance in CoD MWII (Rapp H). I think it’s an interesting gun.
It was Bill Fleming, the guy who decided he wanted a G3 shortened down to MP5 form factor, into the 'HK51,' who also decided he wanted to do that with a HK21 as well, making the belt-fed 'HK51B' or 'MC51.'
Hilariously loud guns.
The HK21 was also in the old CoD Black Ops game but for some weird reason it was a normal mag feeded lmg in that game.
@@01souldragon23, Treyarch had reasons which i do not know. But i know that the HK21 can be feeded with box mags, drum mags and of course belts.
The hK11 was the original “light machine gun”. But yes. Bill was a legend
Nice to see Rep Herrera not forgetting where he comes from and why we love him!
The sawed off M79 was a common sidearm carried by MACV-SOG guys across the fence. Usually the first round was loaded with buckshot, and then they'd yeet out HE after that.
That AK honestly wouldn't have issues holding zero...because it couldn't even get there to start with.
I loved the critical drinker shout out! He really deserves more attention
Brandon is very much relatable to most of his audience, he rather often mentiones other youtube channels (from top of my head, he mentioned russian badger and count dankula)
The slow realization for Brandon is that though these are cursed. He is slowly gaining a morbid curiosity that makes him have to look inward at his own fascination with such curses. For as they say, "When you stare too long into the abyss, the abyss compels you to make a kalashniglock." Or some shit like that, I never finished college.
Kalashniglock 😂

😂 The Critical Drinker sign-off was perfect. #akgnotificationsquad
The punch glove gun should be mounted to a medieval knight's gauntlet. lol
Thanks to you, I am now enrolled in SDI and on my way to becoming a Gunsmith, Thanks Brandon
If you can remember, let me know how that goes. Hickok got me interested in that but after some reading I seen quite a few people talk about how they're useless.. no real classes, and they apparently just send you youtube videos to learn from. Not at all what I was hoping it'd be.
Especially for the price they charge for tuition.. absurd
That one based off a g3 is actually very similar to a factory produced version called the hk21, and from what I hear was well liked
I love this series, I finally get these jokes after going 32 years without owning a gun. LOL. I made up for lost time in the past 3 years of gun ownership.
I have a new favorite quote from Brandon “ah war we make some wacky things.”
@RealBradonHerrera-_ the fact you have real in your name is a dead giveaway that it’s not the real Brandon
Fun fact: HK has made G3 into belt-fed machine guns
The HK21
And
The GR-9 special forces Prototype
And of course since it’s the Vollmer, HK51B, Belt-fed 7.62x51mm MP5
There’s also the HK25 proposal, which is basically HK21 chambered in .50 BMG
Love the callout to The Critical Drinker. Keep making the great content, Brandon!
The thing that disturbs me the most about that KP-9 isn't the gas tube, or the handguard gap, or the stiple grip on the magazine (the part that I would not be holding) ... no, it's the $700 price tag that they decided they would attach to it.
3:00 this made me wanna fall asleep to my own screams every single night for 10 nights ever since seeing this
You’re such a busy man, I am just happy I’m still receiving content at all, keep up the amazing work you’re doing!!
14:52 the Mech-Tec uppers have been around for a long time and they're actually a hell of alot better then any of those snap on chassis gimmicks. Polenar Tactical interviewed an Irish guy that did PSD and hostage rescue work in Latin America (it's a good interview he was one of the people that responded to the westgate mall attack) they were only allowed to have handguns so he would go on leave in the US buy mech tec uppers, bring them down and they would use them on their registered glock pistol frames as the "MP5 we have at home"
I remember seeing those MG34 uppers in SGN I thought they were a based way to utilize the 34 kits that were coming in, until the fun police that should be a convenience store not a federal agency decreed that they were illegal to use on transferable lowers.
Him not know what the Mectec uppers are is definitive proof of him being a game nerd as his entry into guns
Glad to see a cursed gun images video! Thanks, AK Guy!
I love how you got the Jims Pawn sticker in there 😂 13:33
I frequent them in Wilmington about once a month since their only about 30 mins from me. Havent been to the Fayetteville shop though, and now will never.
I've frequented the one here in Fayetteville. It's not always so bad...just on days that end in y
@@Chronoscvb158 noted 💯
Few years back they made and marketed dedicated mg 34 style uppers that pinned on unmodified ar 15 lowers chambered for 7.92x57 and .308 they sold for about 3 or 4 thousand, but went out of business due to ATF chicannary. Customer reviews on the site suggested that they were decently reliable for a closed bolt semi auto beltfed.
I think one of the things they wanted was to let people use registered full-auto AR15 lowers with their uppers, but which the ATF said wasn't allowed. Shame.
The ATF declared the mg 34 uppers to be a firearm and not a dedicated part or parts kit.
Registered nfa lowers didn't bother them.
It was when people started putting fosstech echo triggers in the semi lowers that (pun intented) triggered them into making the unsanctioned rule.
The dimes were a fun time to be alive in america, at least the first half was.
Them uppers were like $3k a piece too
My dad would've shit seeing that massive scope mounting in one place. Dad was the greatest gunsmith in the country. Possibly in the world. He would've made his own mount for the AK. Love ya brother. Keep the videos coming brother. PEACE ✌️
It never ceases to amaze me that backwoods, hillbilly ingenuity can come up w/ unique stuff that leaves us speechless... not a bad thing, if it wasn't for moonshine, we wouldn't have Bourbon, I rest my case! Cool vid and as always, keep the content coming.❤
7:01 MACV-SOG were responsible for that. John Stryker Meyer talks about doing that hacksaw job because of weight savings, compactness, and in a firefight in triple canopy jungle the loss of any muzzle velocity isnt a problem because you're basically in knife fighting range.
4:46 when you're happy to finally put your Tarkov experience to use irl
Did Brandon quote the critical drinker with "that's all I got for today, go away now" line at us? Mad respect for that one. And doing a damn good accent. LMFAO 😂
Yes, yes he did.
I gotta say it Brandon… congratulations on that awesome elk hunt! He’s a biiiiiig boy! 😮
