That fact that you’ve been able to make three videos on this topic is impressive, can’t wait for part four where we see Ukrainian soldiers using needle guns from Halo.
It’s all fun and games till you see Ivan charging towards you with an energy sword
Needler gang gang
Im still awaiting the appearance of the MA5B AR
More like 1886 Dreyse needle guns
@@j.robertsergertson4513 Or an 1860s rifled musket?
And all of a sudden, the guy with the Mosin looks really well armed compared to the guy with the air gun
lmao
I would pick the scoped mosin over the rusty AKs anyday.
The guy with the air gun was probably eating better than anyone else in his squad. It's for feeding himself in the field, not combat.

Imagine if someone attacked the US. The video of weapons used would range from .22lr to tannerite
why did this guy make a propaganda video?
@@darkhorse29-yx8qh Propaganda?
And the guy with the bowling ball mortar.
Military aged men coming through the US southern border by the hundreds of thousands isn't an invasion? Nobody's doing jack sh*t about it. America needs people like WW2's greatest generation to fix things.
@@darkhorse29-yx8qh what do you mean this is a video about guns
Those are actually _Ukraine's_ Thompsons.
They were stored, unused in their original packaging, in the salt mine Russia captured.
Thousands of them.
What's really crazy about the FN F2000 is that this rifle was one of the higher tier weapons featured in the Ukrainian video game series S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in 2007. How would such an expensive western made weapon end up in the hands of fighters in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone in 2015? (the time setting of the game's story). Now 16 years later, here it is.
i was just supossed to talk about this lol
Follow the money
Life imitates art, it seems
But it’s weird , it looks like a gun from the 22 nd century
I'm guessing slovenia sent it. Our military uses it
When it comes to the mortar RPG, it is a legit field modification aimed at producing RPG rockets that suck less in the anti personnel role. Regular RPG7 rounds being anti tank shaped charges really don't give off much in terms of fragmentation effects. Mortar shells are purpose designed as anti personnel fragmentation ordnance.
Rockets have something called flight characteristics and ballistics. That little rocket can't throw all that weight
@@tendiesoffmyplate9085 It throws it further than a hand grenade, has more boom juice than a rifle grenade, and works better at poking holes into people than an anti tank rocket, what's not to love ?
Hi Robert Smith
But we have a grenade(it's a grenade not a rocket) called "Oskolok" for this purpose
@@tendiesoffmyplate9085 sure the sights aren't accurate anymore, but I don't think that matters much at the distance these ammunitions are used at. Eyeballing it is also a thing, and if one doesn't hit, use three more until you hit 'em, those mortar rounds they have enough of
Maxims can still be pretty handy as AA-mounted versions against the drones because of their sustainable fire (watercooling). The Vickers MG was tested a few decades ago and could fire for a week OK.
If it ain't broke
Bro I've been so depressed lately and somehow came across you channel and haven't stopped laughing
It’s so weird to see how diverse the amount of guns is. Ak12s and f2000s, Mosins and Maxims. It’s like a CoD lobby if shotguns didn’t exist
Edit: Holy crap, I’ve never gotten more than ten likes on a comment. Thank you all, and Merry Christmas!
@@jayslomine4280Just to note: They have 8 women for every 2 men before the war. Ukraine might actually go exist by the time this is over. Don't understand what country they think they're saving because there's going to be no fathers left if they don't stop killing themselves.

About the RPG, on top of thinking green and recycling, from the information I have, regular round will detonate after traveling a set distance of 920 meters, so this could potentially extend this range and serve as a shoulder mortar launcher.
What I think is wild is that if, before the war, you went there to try to find these weapons you’d have an insane time trying. Yet now they are popping up all over the place. Makes me wonder how many old weapons are just laying around.
they're probably just sitting in warehouses mothballed and greased ready and waiting
@@jimbothegymbro7086 Russia(and, I'd presume, the rest of the former Eastern Bloc) has a habit of just drowning firearms in cosmoline, stacking them a hundred to a crate, and just....not doing anything with them for decades at a time. So basically the same thing the Aussies did when the Buy-Back happened. They're all just saving them for when Mad Max is a thing.
@@joshuamarvin7400 This, and too that point, they cycle gear from the west to the east as it gets old, so that's why there's a seemingly *infinite* out of 60's era gear.
In eastern europe, you've been able to get most of these weapons for decades.
The only real problem is getting them across the borders to western europe, because border security has been beefed up, due to migrants.
Warehouses and warehouses full id imagine. Russia gets rid of nothing that goes bang.
The Thompsons were fitted inside the lend lease US tanks that were sent over but were little used, and most of the ones that survived are in mint condition, the firm I used to work for in the UK imported loads of mint 1928 and later thompsons and drum mags in the early 2000's.
Too bad you missed a few
Why was a UK firm importing Thompson's?
@@ScottKenny1978 For the deactivation market, they couldn't be exported to the USA as they were lend lease and would be confiscated and probably destroyed as the US government still has all the serial no's of the guns they are still owed, they tried with a couple as they were worth a lot more in the USA working than deactivated over here but they were confiscated in the US.
@@silverfingerthesilverstack5062 ah, makes sense. Even if it seems criminal to deactivate a Thompson...
I've been a USCCA member for close to a decade. You're absolutely right. I have 3 I carry depending. P365 most days, P80 Glock 19 I built or a 357 special for quick milk runs in my Lulu Lemons.
I cc a Cz Ts2, and have a full-auto capability cz scorpion in my car. Also, I’ve got a deagle for open carry if I’m going into a sketchy area (nobody wants to fuck with me that way)
@@shadowcobragaming5364I’m sure you do
Video Games about this war are gonna be wild as fuck
man, I didn't even think about that lol.
Can you just do an entire series of weird guns appearing in warzones? Iraq and Afghanistan had a ton of interesting gems pop up
Just imagine the kind of soul crushing mind melting headaches the logistics staff has been going through from the beginning of the conflict up until now 😆
Just think about the Ukrainian logistic guys having to deal with new shipments everyday of a variety small arms, parts, ammo, rations, field gear, vehicles, ect. I have a feeling they're pulling their hair out so much that most of them are bald by this point, hell, just the number of different types of anti tank missiles has to be bothersome!
@@robertharper3754 THEN factor in the Russian Logistics staff 🤣
@@Pfletch83 the Russian just pick up whatever is in the shelves and hand them to the conscripts

@@davidriadi7999 Nah, Russian logistics guys pick the stuff off the shelf and put it in their pockets.
I carry and rotate between budget, mid and high. G3C/M&P 2.0/staccato Mostly the Taurus and the S&W however
poor little Nagant, from prior experience with the 60 mm mortar we used packets to change the range
Fun fact: Mortar shells have the same threads as the rpg rockets - they were literally designed for that purpose
For a simple and cost effective anti personnel round?
@@loganblanton843 That, or what was pointed out in the video- aim up and you have a discount (shorter range and less accurate) mobile mortar piece.
The rpg is partially a grenade and rocket launcher thats why it's rockets are extremely fast almost invisible in the air i believe
I have seen the mortars put on RPG-7 rockets since the invasion of iraq.
So shouldn't RPGs be called RPM, rocket propelled mortars
I saw that pellet gun on Reddit, a theory some of the guys there thought it might’ve been used for either “quickly diffusing” butterfly mines and or shooting actually using it for shooting squirrels and other small rodents for extra food
thats the only two reasons that popped into my head thanks for validating me lol
@@zachmoyer1849 What you think the Ukrainians wouldnt just grab that trash out of a landfill to make a propaganda vid?
@@neempata3274 just 4 more billion to zelensky to change russian diet
I can definitely see the second one, but the Ukrainians don't use butterfly mines as they are easily mistaken as toys by children, and because they are defending rather than invading the Ukrainians don't utilize them for that exact reason. The Extra food idea is a really good one, as the Russians have repeatedly been seen hungry and without much to eat. Even some reports of a man giving up a BMP for the food Ukrainians were offering to POWs!
@@neempata3274 they are eating whatever they can get.
Shit supply, especially at the front and especially specially for conscripts.
Lol that at that old school Czech RPG poster. Good one.
Late to the party, but my EDC is a Bersa TPR9C. Never had issues with it, always works at the range. Great reliable DA/SA for a great price.
I love that he already owns 90% of the "weird" old guns popping up over there.
We’re gonna have 6 more episodes of these weird guns considering Yuri Orlov is back in Russia
I won't be very surprised if I find out about active guntrade between opposite sides
They let him out to feed the war
Referring to the USCCA you said “they are one of the sponsors of the channel I like”. Which sponsor last do you not like 😂 great video, thanks
Using old Maxims that are likely still in inventory doesn't surprise me, not in this situation. As you said, "All hands on deck."
At least they're not using Chauchats.🤪🤪
5:12 I literally have had dreams of being handed a pellet gun to go to war. It is unfathomable that this is happening in real life.
Girrandoni air rifle
I do not believe any Russian soldier was handed a pellet rifle. Russia has plenty of stocks of Mosin-Nagants, Ak-47's, and SKS-45's, as well as AK-74's.
The things Ukraine can get the dull among us to believe...
From what i heard, this one is pretty much fake. Like, the bb-gun wasn't found on dead Russian or wasn't their primary. But yeah, don't believe to guy random guy on internet with cyrrilic in their profile
The propaganda is strong in this war!
Brandon, on the topic of antitank rifles: the Soviets would shoot at the area where the suspension is to either ruin suspension or punch the weaker armor. This is why the Germans are the only country to use sideskirt armor. History lesson over, very cool video!
They were also very effective at stopping rounds from the Bazooka and PIAT as well. Armor piercing rockets really don't like it when they're set off against shurtzen instead of the proper armor.
The Germans weren’t the only ones, multiple M4 variants had bazooka plates. They were abandoned after the Africa Campaign were the British found them annoying and removed them. The T-14 actually has the most comprehensive side skirts (the 1940s American prototype). The British Crusader tanks also used side skirts.
@@xtremekewii huh, didn’t know that. Learn something new every day
@@xtremekewii Yes, the thing with Germany was that they started with the Skirts because of the AT-rifles. Then by accident it was actually good vs HEAT. They then adopted other mesh variants for HEAT, not good vs AT-rifles which were non-existent on the Western front. Brandon do discard the AT-rifles as useful vs tanks. But if one read Otto Carius memoirs (mostly known as a Tiger commander) you find that when he was in a PzIII in the start of war the AT-rifles did damage. The pz III was around for quite a while even if never variants did come along.
@@kingoftheskies34 They are definitely rarer on the Western Front as large caliber AT rifles were not used as much as the Russians did. Side skirts would see a resurgence post-war as most countries other than Britain used HEAT rounds (the British focused on APDS and HESH). That’s why Sherman Fireflies and Comet’s don’t have them but Centurions do
8:16 Sometimes, old is gold more than people give credit for.
Great vid , thanks Brandon
4:39 that’s a pellet gun! I have the exact same one, modeled after the SKS. They were used by the Chinese army somewhere around the 80’s and before for initial infantry training. Some were imported to the US, and it’s actually a great camp plinker.
I thought it looked like a bullpup SKS at first, dang, it even (kinda loosely) is
Yes, that is correct! I also had one a long time ago, but I sold it. A friend of me still have his. I live in Norway, so they were sold here also.
Thought it was an L86 but like, more broken
Same here I still have the exact same air gun as that but customized a little
It's a chinese QB57
Welcome back to another episode of Brandon's totally not suspicious soon-to-aquire-of gun list, like he did with his AK12. Jokes aside, happy holidays!
Yeah I sense something coming in the future as well. Good Call
EDC: G19 woth apex trigger, holosun holographic, threaded barrel with flash hider, delta cut slide, and light/laser combo. Love my set up!
Thanks I’ll keep uscca in my mind for when I can carry one
RPG originally had an 82mm mortar with a booster motor. It was an anti-personnel round. They were called a B40 in Viet Nam.
That sounds nasty.
Let's just pray for our Russian brothers. May be our last hope against the WEF EU overlords
@@galvanizedgnome’m with you. I’m no commie but god only knows how the wools being pulled over this countries eyes by fully supporting Ukraine, the most corrupt country in the eastern block, probably much more so than Russia and that’s really saying something. They should have been left to sort out their own problems to themselves. Everybody who doesn’t want to stand up and fight, leave or don’t, that’s their issue. Nothing better than the massive influx on the black market of over a *billion* dollars in “stolen” aid that the ukr generals helped themselves to lol.
How bout davy crocketts?
@@pitchforkpeasant6219 lol those are mini NUCLEAR bombs.
Nowhere close to being comparable to anti personnel rocketts lol
Hey. I'm from Ukraine, and i want to make a little note to that RPG-Granade thing. Solider that holds the thing is russian, cause he have orange-black-orange ribbon on his leg. That's St. George ribbon, some kind of a reference to russian empire. The point is, ukrainian soliders don't wear them. They wear blue or yellow (no way, huh?) tapes on arms and legs. So look for that in future videos. Thanks for the content!
As well as map of Ukraine shown at 0:08 doesn't include Crimea, which worldwide is still considered to be part of Ukraine.
@@Noskilhsap man, i didn't even noticed that. but yeah, you're right
@@Noskilhsap based
Yep, the modified RPG must have an aerodynamic of a brick, can't imagine it being able to hit a barn door from further away than several meters, provided the tape will even hold in one piece. Ukrainians aren't that dumb.
Surprisingly they are dumb.
my theory for the grenades turned into an RPG is that since RPG missiles have a minimum arming range that you could tie the pins and when you shoot the gun, it will pull the pins and you could shoot it anywhere with only a couple second delay before explosion
What do I carry? Well I carry groceries… maybe some maccas every once and a while…
You continue to be one of the most fun, educational gun-tubers(?) out there. I never knew how an rpg-7 actually functioned other than pull trigger, fwoosh, boom. If you do get the RPGs out to the range, maybe team up with the slo-mo guys or somebody with a phantom camera to see it in glorious slow motion.
Rocking a Glock 19, 17. Or staccato c2 daily Brandon 👊🏻
I fully support this idea. I would pay money to see an rpg evaporate a white claw at 80,000 fps
This. Do this!
@@swampfoxfpv exactly. I'd gladly throw a hundred into the pot to see this
(Shaped charge warheads do not work AT ALL like brandon said, the molten copper/melting through armour is just a common myth. In reality the copper just gets blasted so unimaginably physics bendingly hard that its starts behaving almost like a liquid, but it is still a solid, and it is not molten. It essentially forms a hypersonic solid copper fist that punches through the armour.)
It's crazy to think that this is a modern war being fought with some of the most modern weapons available, while also having some of the oldest functional weapons seeing combat still. Like seriously, Ivan gets a modern ak12 while Sergei gets the mosin his great grandfather probably fought with. Igor gets the old vintage maxim machine gun while chekhov gets the fancy new rpk16
The war is not so black and white, most of the strange weaponry originated as collectors weapons and have since been deployed in the conflict by various partisan and separatist groups; these are just everyday civilians using what they can scrounge up. Unless we are discussing some fragmented and poorly equipped Ukrainian army branches, nobody is being drafted by any major nation with fucking mosins.
Those are not RF soldiers though. Mostly they are DLNR militia from Donbass, who have been fighting for 8 years with whatever they could find. Same thing for the T62 seen on the Russian side, mostly being operated by militiamen.
I guess, it's the epitomy of the famous "The rifle is fine."
God, I hate this war...
It's more that bullets haven't changed much in over 100 years, if anything modern rifles are less lethal for improved mobility and fire rate.
So just like Syria pretty much
Or Afghan
Or Myanmar
etc
I carry a Ruger LCP .380. The perfect pocket pistol for me. I like keeping a double action trigger for my main EDC because I wear basketball shorts a lot so it’s nice to keep one in the chamber and safely have it holstered in my pocket and if I wear it on my hip it doesn’t poke out or anything. I’m all for the small handgun trend recently. I love small reliable handguns with a kick.
I knew that was a air rifle, my first thought when I saw that cocking handle was the bb gun you get at the start of fallout 3 😂
I've actually seen a QB57 before. They are collectable and pop on ebay once in awhile. They typically go for $200-$250 depending on the condition. I think they were made in the 90's.
quite amazing to see the FN F2000 actually see combat. always reminded me of the assault rifle from Halo
Hey man respect the flex, he was trying to complete the camo challenges on that BB gun
Hey Brandon, a more specific explanation for the lend-lease Thomson’s was that they were sent in pairs with Sherman tanks for the crew, but the problem was that they didn’t send them with any .45 ammo. They actually sent a lot of them back due to them being useless, but the ones that remained are probably the ones in those photos.
they did send ammo but not enough, and they sent .45 something only the US used had the US sent Tommy gun in 9mm it would had lasted longer because what happen it arrived in soviet soldier was given them and the ammo fired until they was out and then it was useless as Soviet could not make .45 or did not wish to clough down the logistic whit 1 more ammo type for just 1 gun.
A LOT of Thompson parts sets were available years ago that were sourced from Russia. Demilled and sold back to us.
My granddad returned back to Moscow with a fine collection- MP-40, Thompson, and PPSh. He was a special team squad-commander, and was very fond of technic stuff.
Anyway, he preferred mp-40 because it was light, and you can pick lots of ammo ;)
They actually didn't send that many guns... mostly trucks an stuff.
But think i have read somewhere, they produced mosin and ammo to the Russians
That's O.K., I'm sure Red Army or Wolf is making M1911 Ball ammo now!
A friend of mine was in the British Light Infantry in the 90's. During his battalion's deployment to the Balkans, they had an arms amnesty. A couple of the best things handed in were a Thompson submachine gun and an MG42. Plus a Dragunov with a night vision scope.
Ak 50 yet?
Back in the 90s you could book a "tourist package" to former Yugoslavia. Once there, the tourist could fire a number of Cold War weapons, heavy machine, mortar, etc. including a RPG. ..Back when the world was fun.
...love the sarcasm @ 11:02!! 😆
I've got an old 1920 J. Stevens lever-action 22. long-rifle. It still works and is completely functional. Very reliable.
Everyday, everywhere I carry a Sig P365. This has changed my life. I was scared of guns for over 30 yrs. My grown son encouraged me to learn more about them due to some very dangerous situations my job put me in. Between my son, my husband and my father-in-law I have learned a lot about how safe they are nowadays, I have learned how to handle them safely, and I have learned to shoot them very well. I can shoot a 6-in square target from 100 ft away with my Sig p365. I am now confident in my ability to protect myself and my loved ones and I do not live in fear any longer. If the men in my life could get me to change my mind on the necessity of carrying a gun then there is hope for all of you to get the women in your life to carry. Sad but true when my children were little I wouldn't even let them use sticks as pretend guns.
Glad to hear you opened up your mind and have the means and capability now to defend yourself and your family. Always good to see people utilizing their 2nd amendment right
Great gun love how small and concealable it is and still packs a huge punch with a double stack mag
@@exspertgames7784 It's really the perfect purse gun if you carry said purse
Thank you very much for sharing your story. I grew up with firearms and spent 8 years as an 11B in the 82nd 1st/504th. I’m very pro-gun but have many friends who aren’t, I respect their opinions but stories like yours solidify the need for firearm education and how ignorance which often turns into fear can be the root cause.
@@user-yy7tw9hv9n I do own a carry purse but I have only used it twice. I do not like off-body carry when there are so many amazing choices out there for women today to keep the gun on you and very accessible with no printing.
In Afghanistan the ANP had what seemed like an endless supply of OG-7V rounds for the RPG-7. Other soldiers speculated they were the normal rockets without the shape charge attached. That was incorrect. It's a fragmentary round specifically designed for anti-personnel. I saw few of the normal shaped charge anti-vehicle bulbous rockets we think of when it comes to the RPG. When I asked why that had so many anti personnel rockets versus vehicle ones, they literally said "this is what we have". So, like Brandon said "necessity" is us8ng what you have.
Seems like there you'd be shooting at people or unarmored vehicles way more than tanks, so probably appropriate for that theater?
@MalikCarr yes sir, 100% applicable for the mission anyway. Plus having so many meant you could use them often!
sig sauer p365 xl is the first ever gun i’ve owned, she still works like a beauty after all these years
I agree having resourceful mates in the battle field are best
It's been really neat to see the arms related things coming out of the Ukraine

@@Monkeybrain6260 That's what he said.
It took me 2 and a half years to get the permit to carry here in Mexico, but I carry my Grandfathers 1911. The same one he used in WWII and I carried in the Gulf War. It has never let me down, and I have put through A LOT of rounds with it. Also use a Walther 6rd in a boot holster.

There is literally a youtube channel with a couple of guys shooting RPG's and capturing it on slowmo. They actually had a incident recently of a rpg malfunction blowing up in their face and living.
About that MG42... When being trained to field strip our MG3 in the German army back in the early 2000s we discovered some parts of these had "1942" stamped on them. We then learned that those MG3s we got were just modified MG42s with the "NATO brake" installed, otherwise not much changed. Due to the MG3 still being used a lot (just like the US M2) this is not such a great surprise to find one there.
Isn't the only thing they changed the firerate? I know the MG42 fires at 1600 rounds a minute, the MG3 is like 1000 or something like that. I think that's what the nato brake thing does
@@DiscoBallGaming yes, exactly! It is a modified locking mechanism and another kind of spring, I looked that up.
Original fire rate of the MG42 (MG1 in the Bundeswehr) was 1500rds/minute, new fire rate is 1200rds/minute. But you'll have to change the barrel or let it cool down after 150 live rounds, so this doesn't make that much of a difference anyway. You get something like an oven mitt for doing that and it's quite annoying to do this all the time.
@@DiscoBallGaming the fire rate, and what ammo it takes. It went from 8mm Mauser, to 5.56 NATO
@@ntfoperative9432 The MG3 doesn't use 5.56 NATO. It's 7,62 x 51 mm NATO
@@warriorOFwalhall ah, my mistake
The detour into "once upon a time allies we armed to fight someone else" was a welcome addition
While he has a point there regarding the historical examples, is it a good comparison to the current situation really? I mean the Soviets where never friends of the west, they were the lesser evil, as was the mujahedin when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. Ukraine has it's problems, sure, but it is a struggling democracy that is on a western trajectory, being invaded by a country that views that development as threatening. There is also the geopolitical angle here as well, with Ukraine being a shield for Europe, since there will be little reason for Russia to stop there if they succeed, but is in no way the lesser of two evils - rather Ukraine is in the absolute moral right, a true ally and part of the free world in opposition to autocracy and in defence of an international rules based order. In that light, I can't see how a communist dictatorship or an islamist guerilla make for good points of comparison.
@@95spades I appreciate you spending time explaining this. Hello from Odessa!
@@JustAsPlanned1 Cheers from Sweden man! I feel like Americans tend to miss these things at times, having all that distance to obscure perspectives that are more obvious to the countries of Europe, especially those in Russia's vicinity.

My grandfather carries a Type 14 and a .380 while my dad carries a S&W Model 3 snub.
The mg-42 was never retired. Just renamed to the mg-3 and continues to be used regularly in germany to this day. It has been down calibered to nato rounds, but otherwise unchanged. They even have a test for marksmanship with it.
Brandon has said MG-3 in his arsenal, or he was lent one to shoot and show off, I don't remember which. "Kanye's buzzsaw," he calls it.
Mg-3 has some modifications
Spanish army uses it too, fired it during service at Guardia Real. A beautiful monster of a gun...
@@pexobestia spanish army also has the 5.56 CETME Ameli based on the prototype MG45 but scaled down to 5.56
Does that mean we’d be able to do D-Day re-enactments
Fun fact: the Thompson submachine gun dates back to around ww1, actually. The first prototype was produced just as ww1 ended, and the prototype was called the Anihiliator.
We was all in BF1 we know.
I can't remember the source, so I would consider this a bit dubious but - I read somewhere that most of the thompsons we sent to the USSR where included inside of sherman tanks. Just, you know, part of the package deal.
Edit - I also remember reading an account by a soviet tanker where he didn't think too much of them and implied the soviets just didn't like them. Hard to say if there was any actual validity to their line of thinking or not.

In stuart light tanks, we recently a few years ago got a bunch of parts kits back in America from Russia that were brand new never fired from in those tanks and the reason they didn't use them is they didn't have a lot of ammunition for them
Here's more surprising, the Thompson was used way back in Soviet Union before the lend lease program but in limited numbers.
Taping grenades to an RPG makes it an effective anti-personnel round but it screws up a balance of RPG rocket so badly you can't hit a side of a barn with it past 50m.
That horizontal lever gun is modified bulgarian airgun 5,5mm. They have same kind of thread and instalation point as ak so you need little drilling to get proper caliber.
So glad to see you've fully recovered from being killed in action in Ukraine Brandon! Keep up the good work!

@@obiwankenobaddie2734 there was rumour about him died in Ukraine, killed by wagner, but it's obviously a hoax spread by trolls.
@@MrHehaaw
I heard Wagner got hit hard and they mostly all died 🤷🏻♂️ could be also a lie
@@ghostlead6937 that's sadly a lie, same class as all of VDV getting killed etc.
These kind of stuff don't happen on modern warfare

Bonus points for the RPG-7 Mod 2 Fuck You round with grenades attached: the RPG-7 has a self-destruct timer. That timer runs out at about a thousand yards, meaning that little homemade round is not only potentially an anti-personnel air-burst round if you get the range right, it is also now an anti-air round. Again, provided you get the range right. Which you'll need quite a bit of luck for, the timer on the self-destruct is sort of like the timer on infantry grenades: not at all reliable if you want precision.
that thing looks like that wacky german grenades from WW1
also, why do you need precision if you gonna make meat pulp with a RPG 7 cluster homemade prototype
There's account's from the Australian Army in Vietnam during the late 60's of NVA (maybe VC need to find citation here) of RPG-2 AND RPG-7 been used both in their intended anti-armour role but also as anti-infantry role.
The later was without modification they just intentionally shot the fuckers into the large overhead tree cover of the digger's. Thus creating potentially lethal storms of sharpnel, keeping heads down and sometimes at the very least really angry bitey ass insects raining down.
This from memory was during a period they we're actively engaging large bunker systems where ammunition would be stockpiled allowing for even more indiscriminate use of rockets in such a fashion.
When you remove the RPG-7 warhead, you also remove the self destruct timer. Thus the ones with mortar grenades do not have this.
Gun from 4:57 is air gun meant to shoot 4.5mm lead pellet. Pellet is shoot by compressed air, compression is created by piston attached to a spring that is released by trigger. It will have hard time to penetrate thick winter jacket from distance of 30meters.
Salt mines in soledar is how the thompson machine guns got handed out last year when wagner took over satmines
1:23 During WW2 Canadian Paratroopers who where outnumbered attacking a Villa turned Barracks for a German unit. They took out the main MG bunker by taking a mortor and planting it up against a tree to fire it horizontally into the bunker. Mortor’s seem to have many uses and applications to the crafty.
The Finnish AMOS mortar turret can be use in a direct-fire role if necessary. Sure, it's not a tank gun, but it's still a 120mm mortar, so it can certainly ruin your day.
@@nuclearmedicineman6270 I always imagined if it would be possible to have some madlad shoulder fire a mortar one day
The Japanese had a mortar that looked like it would fit on your leg and you could fire it off your knee. Of course, you would only do this exactly once (and Americans did try that), but it was a very light mortar that could be braced against a tree (or similar object) and fired directly at the enemy if needed.
You know whats funny? I know this exact story from an Alan Gratz book. Huh, didn't think it was real lmao
That's a seriously Canadian way to win!
(There's a joke Angry Cops did about Canadians a few months ago, totally spot-on. Stunningly polite and friendly until they're skull-f'ing you while ripping your throat out with a rusty can lid.)
Just to clarify, the copper lining inside a high explosive anti tank warhead doesn't become molten, even the explosion is still well bellow even copper's melting temperature. Its used because it is extremely soft which makes it very good for entering into a state known as superplasticity where a material stretches while maintaining a low stress. This causes the copper lining to become akin to a Lance of metal going extremely fast. It is essentially acts like modern sub caliber munitions in tanks except on a smaller scale and higher speed. The tradeoff however, is that the Lance has a much lower range as the velocity achieved from the explosion decreases rapidly. This is why spaces armor is so effective, it both slows down the projectile and forces it to travel a longer distance.
Yeahhhh, I think you may have heard that the copper doesn't melt through armor and taken that a little out of context. First of the copper does in fact become molten due to friction, so the temperature of the explosion has nothing to do the copper melting, however the copper works as an incendiary after penetrating the armor. Secondly the jet of copper actually penetrates armor the same way a high pressure water jet cuts. The copper is funneled into a long extremely thin stream of particles moving incredibly fast(remember that energy=m*V^2), essentially sand blasting a tiny hole which can then open to a larger size as the rest of the stream passes through(see "shaped charge" to learn more). Since the stream of copper breaks up into many particulates it by definition cannot enter a state of superplasticity. I hope this clarifies the mechanisms behind what makes a HEAT round work.
Also the melting point of copper is 1085C, while high explosives routinely produce temperatures an order of magnitude higher than that.
Why is this much scarier than molten metal
@@wonderfulwalrus5715 It's really not. the penetration is purely the result of kinetic impact, but the copper even in solid form is under so much pressure and is moving so fast, one may just as easily treat it as a liquid.
@@dakwha2686 you literally contradicted yourself. You're just wrong. Plus if you were right, a heat round wouldn't even work as the liner wouldn't form a jet correctly.
@@casematecardinal explain why I'm wrong. look it up the facts online. you have the internet. You can't just say I'm wrong without actually telling me how.

I remember seeing F2000 rifles on the news in the hands of Libyan rebels. I'm from Belgium so it was like a big thing because it was basically proof that the Belgian gov gave them or maybe some illegal arms dealer.
Or they could have seized them. Also, from the feedbacks of belgian soldiers that used them, it's better for the ennemy to have F2000 rather than more useful weapons.
God damn.
@@ildarion3367 Reasonable.
@@ildarion3367 not a single belgian soldier was lost or captured in Lybia. I think its most likely that they were sold by illegal arms dealers these rifles are expensive and high tech but i believe that civilians can buy them in the us so it can't be to hard to just make up a shadow company and ship them to Lybia.
Although they weren't very usefull in small numbers and small amounts of ammo they are great propaganda pieces.
Not only Libyan,even Palestinian terrorists r using F-2000
Quick heads up Brandon, thr RPG7 with taped frags is foe the trenches and woods. There are alot of trench lines running through woods over here and that allows them to target a tree or object near or above the trench and hit it. The resulting blast scatters the frags into the surrounding ding trenches. Basically a High Explosive trench gun.
Scuffed airburst
@@firstconsul7286 more like a cluster mutation
I would just be concerned that the rocket would fly out leaving the grenades at your feet.
Some cling wrap doesn't seem enough to "cling" for dear life to that RPG.
Perhaps try Gorilla duct tape - you can tape water together with that stuff.
Oddly enough, te tape should be just wnough to keep the frags on the rpg7 until it detonated. The next question is if they use sympathetic detonation to instantly explode the frags or if the pins are pulled and the rpg just scatters them. If I run into one over here I'll test it out.
7:10 love me the good ole' dinner plate, something about that gun speaks to me
There are RPG high exsplosive fragmentation warheads, bit they are relatively rare. Using mortar bombs/bundling grenades onto a HEAT rocket seems to be an answer to the relative rarity and low acsess to purpose made HEF warheads, which would be of much higher utility in the conflict.
The Slovenians my unit ran into in Afghanistan carried FN2000s, and used them to great effect. We got to check them out while they looked over our M4s, M-16A4s and our muskets... I mean M-16A2s. (Combat engineers of the Engineer corps, what can I say we worked with what we were given) This was done to predictable results.
I mean, the F2K does kinda make the AR pattern rifle look like a musket. It's got all this sci-fi design shit going on, I just wish it could take more than just plain jane 30-round STANAGs.
@@twotailedavenger it actually makes me wish the ar15 platform wasn't so perfect, because the f2k seems like the perfect step up from the m4.
Everyone I know who actually has or has really used the fn2000 always speaks very highly of it. They say it looks weird AF but it feels great and comfortable and easy to aim. Super high cyclical rate and it's a long barrel for a compact frame. I'd consider buying one if I already owned a ton of other shit I already want lol. Like if I was really tryna have a full decent collection I think I'd need one
It seems like a rifle p90 but still i dont think it can compete with a aug or the x95
Weirdest part is how it ejects via a tube near the front of the chassis.
They speak highly of it, until they actually have to deal with a jam. It's thankfully infrequent. But, can take a firearm SERIOUSLY down. Moreso than average jams in a standard rifle pattern.
*Gun Jams*
"Well, lets see if this toilet bowl cover will give enough access to clear this.....no"
@@SlavicCelery Have you used it? Or are you just guessing? A jam is bad for any platform. At least its ejecting downwards and not to the side
@@tbrowniscool Dealt with a jam on the platform. It's bad. It's also a problem that is true of most of the older generation of bullpup.
The most recent rifles, I haven't gotten enough time on to say one way or the other. The FN2000 is a fantastic rifle until it jams. Then it's a nightmare. Thankfully, it's infrequent.

For the RPG mortar combo, the NuckingFuts aka the AT4 guy said they have so many captured RPGs from the Russians that they literally can't use them all even if they tried. This seems like a very great way of repurposing the RPG propellants for use in an anti-infantry role as the PG7 HEAT warheads aren't exactly optimized for fragmentation.
Side note: IIRC HEAT rounds don't necessarily melt the lining, they just use such insanely high pressures that the forces from overcoming the yield strength of solid copper is a rounding error compared to the inertial forces needed to accelerat it from 0 to 10km/s in something like a foot. It might not technically be a liquid, but you can pretend it is and nobody can see the difference.
I'll take one!

I love seeing the WW2 weapons. I was part of anti weapons operations in Bosnia and the german/Bosnian weapons that were picked up, oh my. I was lucky enough to help strip and rebuild an MG42 which. Later I was able mess with an M60 and the tech was the same. Thanks Brandon, lead is lead.

how to get rich go to ukrain get ww2 guns go back to us with guns sell guns get money
The MG42 shown in the video is propably an MG3 , still used by the bundeswehr today mounted on Tanks and trucks for example. It was still used as an Squad MG for training. Pretty good gun but propably only good use when mounted on a tank right now, some new squad MG´s are just lighter and easier to maintain.
A few months back I saw a picture of a few Ukrainian soldiers using M16A4s with M203s and a mix of Eotechs and Acogs, needless to say I got heavy early 2000s USMC vibes from them 😅
Now if only they were playing the Battlefield 2 lobby music.
Great rifle! Loved my A4 when I was in
@VanguardofFreedom20 you're right. I think I know the photo he's talking about. One of the soldiers had an Irish flag patch on his plate carrier which confirms that at least he was a foreign fighter. I'm not sure about the other guys in that photo though
Because they weren't Ukrainian, us forces and other nato forces are in ukraine both sides know it
@VanguardofFreedom20 correct, some are actual nato units in ukraine. The french foreign legion and some US got surrounded in azovstahl and russia let them leave.
