You forgot to mention the Vickers 1.59inch light gun. It fired 40mm shells and weighed 90 pounds complete with its tripod. Its often mistakenly called the rocket gun but it didn't fire rockets but it's tracer left a trail of smoke and sparks that looked like a rocket.
It would be badass if we Americans had gun-welding elephants! Fun Fact: In 1861, King Mongkut offered Abraham Lincoln a bunch of elephants for the American Civil War which our president politely declined!
The rosenberg seems like it would have been the perfect weapon for eastern front partisans. It's small, nimble and if you remove the wheels you could hide it pretty much anywhere. Also the 37mm round would still be a decent match against any rear line axis armour like tankettes and light armoured cars.
As I understand it, the Austro-hungarian gun was designed the way it was because of the particular circumstances of their combat in the rough terrain along their border with Italy. I think they used an existing 37mm shell which had explosives they considered sufficient, but used a short case with a small charge of propellant so they could have a gun smaller gun to transport through mountains, where the anti-tank capabilities of the larger higher velocity French, German, and Russian wouldn't have been needed. In this situation it also compares favorably to mortars, as indirect fire becomes more complicated when there are differences in elevation.
Great video very interesting. I would assume that as light artillery these would be closer to the front... Would the crews carry sidearms or would they be carrying rifles as well as their share of the cannon? Found out my Great Grandfather was part of a gun crew for a Canon d'Infanterie de 37 modèle 1916 TRP with the 82nd Division.
That last one looks like it'd be the most practical! As for the Italians using them during WWII, I think you might be confusing it with the Italian Brixia mortar.
The gun pictured from around 15:05 until the end of the video is the Škoda M.15 3.7cm infantry gun. If you're asking about a different gun, it might be easier to find it with the timestamp of when it appears on-screen than a description of it.
France & antiquated guns. Like the other Allied nations, France ran into a logistics wall, called the Shell Crisis. In the UK and USA (whose munitions companies were on the hook to the British military), the solution was to make lathes with concrete beds, headstocks, and tailstocks, and to hire more people. France all of a sudden ran into an unacceptably high 'dangerous shell rate' for their new 75mm guns. The solution was to pull the Debange 90mm & other Debange guns out of storage to send to the front. The Debange guns were proven, had huge depots full of HE shells made in peacetime, & they worked well. Finland was using Debange 90mm & 155 mm guns through WWII as they needed everything they could get. Even the UK used significant numbers of the Debange guns bought from France in WWI. So maybe not quite as outdated in WWI as you might think.
Cool video, keep it up, can you do a video on French designed semi automatic pistols from World War I and Pre World War I designs please, not the ruby pistol.
And at min 8:27 you show a picture of WWII Soviet troops using one of the Rosenberg infantry support gun but at 9:54 you state that you don't have a picture of the Soviets using a Rosenberg infantry support gun.
Are you sure about the first one being translated as an Anti-Tank Cannon?, it translated to German as an Artillary Cannon (Leichte Artillerie-Kanone von 1918)
8:36 you've grown up in that time period all your relatives served in the army, the government bombards you with the propaganda of the mighty Russian army.. you are conscripted and you are placed in a light support field artillary division.. as you stare down at your pup gun.. not much bigger then the tin soldier toys once played with upon table tops. how unsure thoes soldiers must have felt.. looking at the dog and pony show around them.
Now we use missiles, same doctrine or idea i reckon. I still think little field guns like this would be massively useful and way less cheaper than missiles. These would go over well emplaced in Ukrainian trenches. Especially with beehive rounds. Im betting some of these guns ap rounds or an updated modern round made for use with these like an apfsds could knock out bmps and other small ifvs
@Bosco _ FPS I had a frontal lobe stroke stroke a couple of years ago. It gave me aphasia, so I can have trouble following sometimes. I didn't mean any offense. Just that you talk fast sometimes. I love your content
They are all really cool! I think I like the Russian gun the best..all would be effective against un armored vehicles ..light bunkers or troop concentrations.. especially if they made grape shot for them!... great video
Love the totes wrong pronunciation of Rheinmetall. No judgement from me. People who insist on correct cultural pronunciation all the time are frustrating. Especially when they bomb pronouncing anything in American English. It's all good.
Your ability to find these old pictures and videos to put together your presentations continues to amaze me. Good job!
All these tiny canons are just adorable.
It shoots
You bleed
ahaha lol dude ^^
@@IndianYouThoober90 You held it backwards then.

Thanks for info. You are very well read. Kudos
@@zulubeatz1 ukarine sucks slava Russia
The French Hotchkiss M1916 was also used by the US Army in the Philippines, 1941-42,
Can confirm, we still have some of them in our museums and navy museums.
In late 18th-pre 19th century we mounted krupp artilllery (mountain gun) on an elephant for ours first marine corp
It would be badass if we Americans had gun-welding elephants!

18th century 1701- 1800. Krupp company was founded later.

would be a blast tofire it from the elephant
Awesome stuff, man! Keep them coming.
5:12- looks li8ke tip of projectile protrudes from muzzle before firing ??

France and Russia: we produce a gun
Germany: captured
Very well observed. Reason: 1916 Germany had almost won the 1st WW. Only with the US deliveries and interventions this was turned around.
@@fizoblong9506 yeah totally agree with you
Some fantastic photographs in this presentation. Really enjoyed this video which covers a unique part of WW1 armoury.

Very well narrated
Love your work J.
That Austrian 37 mm was amazing! Thanks for making this video
Great video!!
Excellent job. I had only heard of a couple of the weapons before.
13:06 looks like family friendly fun
Especially with the dog carrying it around
excellent video as expected never a bad one
The last scenes of one in museums really bring them to life.
Cool Information, some really cool weapon never dreamed of before.
That last one looks like it'd be the most practical! As for the Italians using them during WWII, I think you might be confusing it with the Italian Brixia mortar.
There was al *lot* of stuff in there that I've never clapped eyes on. Awesome work!
I think the photograph you use at 8:27 of the Rosenberg 1915 is from ww2
Looks like reenacting
What was the gun being demonstrated - it appeared to be 'in the white' & of a small calibre, had the elevation wheel cranked up before the clip ended?

Hey Bro, what about the grasshoper?
I have 1 grenade from Skoda 3.7 cm M. 15
You do? Nice! I've got a Styer M95 round.
I have 122 ap shell made in 1951
Cool video 😁👍👍👍
Blockhouse gun is actually a fortifications defence gun. Hence Blockhouse (bunker)
Love this video

#1 AWESOME Czech made Skoda 3.7 I got to see one in a Brno Czechoslovakia museum in 1972 ... yes Im old lol :-)
I liked the reinmettal one ---it's cool...But they are all so cute ! I want one !
Finland used a few ww1 Russian 37mm guns during the winter war, I assume it was this one mentioned here.
And at min 8:27 you show a picture of WWII Soviet troops using one of the Rosenberg infantry support gun but at 9:54 you state that you don't have a picture of the Soviets using a Rosenberg infantry support gun.
Charles Adams that was a re-enactment photo that colored black and white.
No 1.😁😁😁
My dad has a shell cutaway that looks very similar to the Skoda round.
T92 HMC shows up "oh I'm in the wrong group"
"15mm at 500yrds" most people wouldn't understand on of them.
The german 13.2mm heavy machine was never actually produced, I don't even think they made a prototype. If they did there isn't a surviving example.
Are you sure about the first one being translated as an Anti-Tank Cannon?, it translated to German as an Artillary Cannon (Leichte Artillerie-Kanone von 1918)
The Škoda being pulled by dogs. Wow.
Some of these small cannons look medieval.
I want the last one I could spend all day and money shooting that

That 8 mill gun shield is about 5/16 thick and doesnt even weigh 100lbs

Almost like punt guns except without the boat.
Thank you,the. Average ww1 gi weight was probably less than 130 pounds..
Pictures and Data are excellent. But the music and the talk destroys it.
Essentially early variants of grenade launchers.
What QUIRKY weapons did the British have during WW1??
You talk really fast. It can be difficult to hear what you're saying sometimes.

The designers of these, tiny guns… unlike meny where certainly not compensating for something.

Calls it a "FT-17" smh, can't even call it by the right name.

I dub them baby berthas
why is an american saying stuff in imperial things about german things

Does a WW 1 video, uses a WW 2 marches...
Well, fuck me sideways! Why did you do this? Also too many mistakes to count...
agine not too bad history but I am not saying my pronunciation is good but your is really bad
