As if life in a British tank in WWI wasn't bad enough, along comes Big Fritz with one of these to let some light in. Both a widow maker and a window maker, all in one gun.
@White Anglo Saxon Protestant Early WW1 tanks had relatively huge crews in very small, claustrophobic quarters, leading charges and taking fire. You're a target and it sucks being you. Though the armor is nice when the tank breaks down in no man's land. XD
@@planescaped Which did happen in that case of Fray Bentos. The tank broke down during the Battle of Passchendaele, right in front of German lines, and the crew fought off attacks for 3 days before they were able to escape back to their own trenches.
Interesting point. And a 100 years before WW1 there was the Napoleonic Wars. It seems we cant go 100 years without blowing each other up in a major war.
"The T-Gewehr could be fired twice per soldier. Once per shoulder." From what I've heard standing in a trench the gun is fine to shoot but prone you just might break your collarbone. C&Rsenal fired one without the hardened steal cores at a big steal target and each shot moved the weighted down frame and they also delved a bit into tactics with it.

Damn, all of the coolest stuff is way out of my budget range! Back when I was in high school, I did a project on WWI advancements and this was one of my favorites
I like how everything about this rifle is just hilariously over-sized, because it comes from a period where sometimes you really could solve your problems by just using a bigger gun.
Best old gun ever made in a game... I'm looking at you Battlefield 1... Thanks for reminding us of history so we can go watch documentaries like this...
Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that, or the dealing end for that matter. Wondering how much recoil the bipod would transfer and how badly a shooter could injure himself while operating this. Spotted an l-39 in the auction listings, hope you get to take a look at it. Quality content as always, cheers!
@@sisbox3785 Alternatively: steal a Cavalry from the enemy. If you're on the (currently) G, Desert Outpost in Sinai, overconfident cavalry riders come every so often, and it's very easy to just knock em out and steal the horse.
it's crazy how a video game (bf1) has brought interest in me to look up all the interest videos you have on the channel! pretty cool little history lesson and stuff 😎✊
+rjonzen34 how OP do you think it is going to be? I imagine getting hit with the bullet is going to be a one hit kill, although you probably won't get much ammo, makes you a lot slower, etc.
Connor McLernon Well to call an "anti-tank" rifle OP, well that answers itself to me, as it wasn't designed with personnel as it's main target. Believe the purpose will be to punch through armor and remove the threat inside, and still leaving the equipment usable, versus hitting it with a grenade or mine. Yes it is a single shot bolt gun, so the rate of fire and reloading will be drastically reduced/increased. My guess is, that it won't get used often, and when it does, it will be a one shot and drop it and go type of usage, but just my opinion.
+rjonzen34 just because it wasn't designed for anti-personnel work doesn't mean in the game it couldn't do that. After all, the M82 was designed as an anti-vehicle weapon but it's also been used as an ultra long distance anti personnel weapon
I cannot believe I was lucky enough to get to shoot one of these yesterday, I work at a range in Kansas, and indoor range! We are rated for up to 50 BMG and this sucker slides in just under! And just for reference I’m 57 about a buck 70 maybe less (F) I was seated and it was on a rubber block since we didn’t have the bipod. Just to pull the trigger was amazing and technically I pulled the trigger twice. The first round didn’t go off as they were re-man’d ammo. Shout out to the owner of the gun for the offer !!! Core memory unlocked and saved for all time!
imagine being in a tank and not knowing about this yet. you're just rolling around causing chaos and destruction while the enemy tries and fails to stop you with their rifles and next thing you know that thing starts punching holes in your seemingly indestructible tank.
+MadMetalheadMark A sharp pencil doesn't need to weigh 5 pounds when you use it to stab someone in the eye, ear(the ear canal, not lobe) or neck. Major damage ensues anyway.
Imagine lugging that thing around in the cold December snow of the eastern front, after dragging it through the October mud and being frostbitten starved and worked to exhaustion until one day you are in a cold, snow ridden trench and you see a large soviet tank cresting the hill within your sight range. You bring your heavy burdenous weapon to bear and fire a shot that pinks off the tank's frontal armor. It continues to drive forward unaware of your efforts. You remind yourself that it's late December, but your only Christmas present comes from the Soviet Union and it won't stop until after it smashes you into the ground.
Pretty cool piece I must say. I was artillery in the Marines so, I tend to like large weapons! Weighs about as much as my Bushmaster BA50 fully loaded with scope and all accessories. Thanks for the great video!!
one of those rifles rechambered in .50 bmg with a wooden checkered custom stock and classic heavy barrel and a classic muzzle break/flash hider would be a fun gun.
If you do a little math, calculating that this is a 795 grain bullet moving at 2650fps, you're gonna realize that this rifle will definitely fuck you up along with everything that you love. Seriously, it's meant to hunt tanks. LOL JK, great video as always, Ian.
I saw one of these in person at the French Military Museum at Les' Invalides. Your video does give it scale, but in person, it is even more.... HUGE. I cannot imagine pulling the trigger on one.
shoulder firing an M82 Barrett? thats rookie shit. Someone, somewhere, has HAD to have shoulder fired a 41 pound 1918 tank gewehr at least once. or more likely, only once.
Actaully the bipod was turned in the oposite direction and pressed into the ground(soil) to keep some of the recoil. Soldiers that shot the riffle a few times they got haedache and pain in the shoulder,arm so they were unable to shoot it onother time more. sry for my bad english but ithink you understood me-
The whole "destructive device" category in US law always sounds so odd to me. Aren't all weapons, from clubs to nukes by definition "destructive devices"?
I accidently stumbled on this video while looking for something else, its not really my thing - but i ended up watching all of it & really enjoyed it :) Thanks for putting it up.
Some criticism. Given my background in artillery, the bipod was 180 degrees off of how it would have been used. They would have wanted the mud or dirt to take some of the force from the recoil. Not the spikes.
Yeah you could definitely take down a chopper with this, even most aircraft. Basically anything that's "soft" or un-armored would get chewed up by this monster.
It's a shame no one realizes that it's an Anti-Tank rifle and can 4-5 shot a tank sometimes. It can be used against infantry, but like the K-Bullet it is not advised.
I believe the 13mm round ended up on planes like BF-109 F series (But not the G-series? which had 20mm main/gun pods ) and newer, and ground attack aircraft like Me-410 series. The Me-410 had remote control dual 13mm MG defensive armament if I could recall correctly. I don't think these were ever on tanks.
You have the coolest job! (and yes,I saw you drop it when you fired it! lmao) Damn! Santas sleigh is gonna have to be an 18 wheeler for my wish list this year,and it's not even February! Stay safe :)
Forgotten Weapons yeah. something very interesting, u probably already know this, though, is that a lot of tactics our current US military uses today are mainly tactics that the germans had. the germans were also the first military to really start using camp patterns. and a similarity everyone knows about, or one that really stands out, is the old nazi helmets, you know, how our current helmet, also in use by many other militaries around the world, is of course based off of the old nazi helmets. and everyone's like, "oh, they were associated with nazis, so they're evil", or something like that. but, you gotta admit, it is a great helmet design. it really protects your whole head, and ears, and neck. unlike the british helmets, which i would not take if i could go into combat. but who would have knew, our .50 BMG cartridge, currently in use today, was based off of a german cartridge, that they were working on a heavy machine gun to chamber it in. i find that very cool and extremely interesting
+Sandro Bruni a negative with the german helmets was that they could break the Germans neck if grabbed from the front rim and rapidly pulled back. the Allied spy operations taught that to their operatives who were to do field work.
+mike C I'm quite sceptical of the practicality of this technique due to the following concerns: A) How often would you actually be in a position to grab the front rim and pull it back? B) Could you reliably expect to be able to do it with enough force to snap the neck (which is a lot harder than Hollywood makes it look, btw)? C) How likely is it that the neck would break before the chin strap?
I'd imagine the best way to carry one of these would be like how you would carry a two-handed great sword(like Zweihander for example) that you would rest it on your shoulder or you would carry it with another soldier help.
I heard they were often found in crates alongside double barrel shotguns on the battlefield

There is a tank hunter kit near your location
SirBobRoss thats why im here

Phoburus being a pro in a game doesnt mean shit.

I know.
'Tank hunter kit has been located near your location'
Takes one single step gets sniped from the other side of the fucking world
First thought: "Hey that looks kinda like a .50 caliber anti-material rifle."
Turns out it's the anti-material rifle's granddaddy!
Let’s see this
Various World War Two anti tank rifles
Barrett M82
Yup, that checks out
Turns out the caliber is also a little stronger than a .50 cal lol
Don' t forget the wallguns of muzzleloader era.
13,2 mm. = cal.52.
crazy to think that WW1 happened 100 years ago
Lj 88 that actually is pretty crazy
Lj 88 Well, some of it. Some of it is still not 100 years old
Lj 88 it ended 97 years ago
wasn't the armistice signed in 1918?
Interesting point.
And a 100 years before WW1 there was the Napoleonic Wars.
It seems we cant go 100 years without blowing each other up in a major war.

Do you recommend this for concealed carry?
I got mine past security just last night. I just told them it was my willy.
caught me off-guard... I actually lol'ed. Not like fake lol. like real lol.
No but it works great for rabbit hunting

Blueswailer But a 5-pound pencil would be even worse.
Bet your channel is loving the overflow of people looking at WW1 weapons now.
FYI...You had the bipod backwards. The other way around and the ground spikes act as an anchor and transfer a lot of the recoil into the ground.
Sadly, I imagine several regular soldiers were probably shot by these on BOTH sides...
what would happen to a modern tank (like the abrams tank the US uses) if it got shot by this?
It would go "boink" and the Abrams crew might or might not notice.
Forgotten Weapons could it pierce an armored car?
It would be like throwing a marble at a battleship

something very interesting, u probably already know this, though, is that a lot of tactics our current US military uses today are mainly tactics that the germans had. the germans were also the first military to really start using camp patterns. and a similarity everyone knows about, or one that really stands out, is the old nazi helmets, you know, how our current helmet, also in use by many other militaries around the world, is of course based off of the old nazi helmets. and everyone's like, "oh, they were associated with nazis, so they're evil", or something like that. but, you gotta admit, it is a great helmet design. it really protects your whole head, and ears, and neck. unlike the british helmets, which i would not take if i could go into combat.

mike C oh. i did not know that, sir!
that actually makes sense though.
thnx for a little history
+mike C
I'm quite sceptical of the practicality of this technique due to the following concerns:
A) How often would you actually be in a position to grab the front rim and pull it back?
B) Could you reliably expect to be able to do it with enough force to snap the neck (which is a lot harder than Hollywood makes it look, btw)?
C) How likely is it that the neck would break before the chin strap?
