To be fair, your average soldier in WW2 did A LOT MORE walking than your average modern US soldier "oh noes, I have to get out of this HMMWV and ride in LMTV and the ride in helicopter for an hour....". Things are hugely more mobile and mechanized now. Fighting was a lot more direct back then, so even though moving around is a bit easier, weapons shoot A LOT further now too (much more accurately nowadays also), so actual infantry combat outside of special operations isn't as common either "Should our platoon rush into that building full of enemies or make a phone call to HQ and have Paladin 25 miles away (Or drone launched from a base 200 miles away, or cruise missile from 500 miles away) make that building disappear? Hm.... decisions..". In WW2 they didn't have a choice, if they wanted to clear a building they had to rush face first into machine gun fire. Just saying that moving/shooting as an infantryman, and things like weight, were a lot more relevant back then.
Me: Was soldier, became ex-soldier because not very good soldier. The price of bullets / magazines never cross mind when bullets come other way from other side. That gets noisy.

Does not the Swiss Army rifle also fold out into a harpoon gun, a rocket launcher, a flame thrower and a device for getting stones out of horses' hooves?
The Swiss believed in "Aggressive Neutrality " they bought 12 Bf-109s from Germany before the war started and used them to keep their skies free of German and allied aircraft. Any allied aircraft were forced to land at swiss airfields and were interned but the fighters were repaired and used by the swiss to protect their airspace.

There's one more issue that people don't usually think of; reliability. Manufacturing reliable magazines on a mass scale is extremely difficult and a single magazine allows you to specially fit a magazine to a rifle and make sure it feeds properly.

Speaking of soldiers breaking things, my uncle who was in the US Marines said if you locked a group of Marine privates in a room with 3 anvils, an hour later one anvil would be broken, another missing. and the third would be pregnant. I've always loved the imagery of that.
I was going to say a lack of understanding must mean you're a Marine, but then every Marine knows that crayons are for eating. So you must be Army, then.
you forgot to mention - there were actually some clips which were made out of hardened cardboard. so they were easily disposable, very cheap AND any leftover remains was self degradable. i think during winters it was actually even harder to spot where the enemy would have been due to the nature of those cardboard clips. these were usually used for a sniper rifle during WW1 and WW2 from what i understand. with a metal clip you couldn't rely on your disposed clips to not be found by the enemy. and with a metal magazine you were actually in a disadvantage from the same reasons you stated: more weight, having to store them on your vest after use, longer rifle reload times etc.
I'm guessing you lot are like me and can replay that ping sound in your head perectly lol. I confess my experience is virtual and not real , but I still love that very distinctive sound.
My favorite thing about internal magazines is the fact that you can pretty much always top them off whenever you want to or need to. So you could have a couple of Clips but also a couple of loose rounds to top off.
Back when the primary modes of military transport were walking or horses, weight mattered a great deal more than it does today. Take an awkward rifle on a 50 mile hike and suddenly balance and weight is super important.
True, but weight is starting to matter again because of all of the weight your average grunt is carrying on him. On average, a grunt is carrying at least 40 lbs in body armor alone, then there's ammo, rations, water, batteries for all of the electronics on his rifle and for the radios and other gizmos, and maybe a bit of spare clothing, and who what else. By the end, the average grunt might be humping 60 or more pounds depending on the duration and nature of the mission which is why there's been a push by the military to find ways of shaving weight off of everything possible. Of course the joke (or sad truth) is that for every pound they manage to shave off, the brass will simply replace with another pound worth of gear and you wind up back at square one.
Weight is always a concern especially on unmounted patrols. When I was in the Corps i was a 0351 and in addition to my pack, carrier, MG, and ammo I also had to haul a CG rifle on occasion. Despite me rating a pistol I only took it out twice on patrol because I didn't need it and it was bulky and heavy.
Slavik Chukhlebov For the most part you'd be correct but a lot of us still have to hump it several kilometers when on patrol depending on where you are and what unit you're in. It also makes a difference what mos you are. As an 0372 we didnt do as much patrols as we did direct action missions, which granted can be pretty far away from our village or fob. Also from my experience most of the stuff we left behind was because it was broken and useless or we were going so far on foot we only wanted the bare essentials and shaved off everything we didnt need.
Slavik Chukhlebov Also the ammo thing is in my experience a pretty big myth. The weight difference between your standard 7.62 and 5.56 is inconsequential and doesnt make much of a difference. I was issued a mk17 for a while as an 0372 and carried almost the exact same amount of ammo in 7.62 as my buddies with M4s carrying 5.56. In fact I noticed I used up less of my ammo than them because I didnt need as many rounds to put someone down as they did so I could have carried less if I wanted to.
Part of that may have been the type of combat you were in. Soldiers like to forget that while their current equipment isn't quite as well suited to the way they use it as it could be, if it was made the way they wanted it would do poorly in another situation the army might be involved in later.
he’s talking about this cause magazines are annoying to have in your inventory dude, the clips are way faster to drop and you don’t have a long drop cooldown when dropping clips
@@safraeLeDragunov You might be in for a surprise over the next ten years or so.

Some people are speculating that gun control is a dead issue and the political system just hasn't realized it yet, and it's definitely one that's becoming increasingly difficult to enforce, because the gun-grabbers have to face, you know, people with guns.

It never fails that when I say I bought some new clips for my rifle...someone will start huffing "it's called magazines, not clips!" Then I have to explain that the rifle I have is a Mossin Nagant M44 and I need a clip to fill my magazine.
@Nicholas Bumgardner Late reply, but are you tilting the top bullet upwards and pushing down on the back of the casing when you charge the magazine? It helps with loading the rimmed casings of the 7.62x54r
To be fair, the removable magazines on older military rifles (eg Mausers & SMLEs) were detachable for cleaning/maintenance etc. They were not designed to be replaced quickly. They WERE designed to be quickly fed via clips.
@@Redneck322 While I commend you on your sluring skills, as German interested in politics I simply must know how Merkel could possibly seen as "Hitler-worshipping"? I mean that's about as close to her political views as Maoism or radical Buddhism.
@@Redneck322 I can see where you are coming from in regards to refugees and free speech as well as the lack of action against Antifa. Under Merkel herself the "right to defend yourself" hasn't really changed and I believe the number of weapon owners in Germany has even gone up. Not really sure what any of those (except for freedom of speech) has to do with Hitle though. The Nazis were very much liked and supported by German businessmen and allowed private companies to benefit from slave labour in the concentration camps. They actively encouraged every German man to own a gun and they certainyl didn't support "non-Arian" immigration to Europe. The third reich was also about as anti globalist as North Korea is today, leaving the league of nations and isolating their economy. Merkel should certainly be critizised, but she does pretty much the opposite of what the Nazis did and there really isn't any party in German politics that would do better were it in power.
dentistguba Other than that only being an issue for one gun, the M1 Garand, the risk of smashing your thumb is almost nonexistent. When the loaded clip latches in, the bolt still needs bumped forward a bit to start it closing, likewise proper loading technique- as taught to soldiers- eliminates any risk. The majority of thumb accidents are caused by non-trained persons pushing the follower of the empty gun down to allow the bolt to be close for storage. Again, only by being done incorrectly is there any risk. On the other side, the enbloc clip eliminates need to remove or release any magazine and can be reloaded much more quickly than with a magazine. Capacity is the only downside of the garand's design when compared to removable magazines
There is exactely one rifle that has the Danger of doing so but about 10.000 others that dont my friend. And even with the M1 you seriously got got to force it to get your thumb crushed.
i love how clumsy this guy is when it comes to magazines but with a clip he could throw it 150ft into the air do a triple front flip and land with the clip already in the weapon.
Fun Fact: Even today we don't usually throw away the magazines. Nobody gives a crap if you are under fire and let a magazine fall on the ground, but we carry little mag-bags at our Hips or train the motion to grab a fresh magazine and switch while reloading and put the old back in the pouch all with one hand. When you are actually under pressure to reload fast, you don't give a damn about the mag tho of course.
Exactly. I used to carry a mag bag, but I've dropped a few when maneuvering on the enemy. Frankly, my life is worth more to me and to the Army than some magazine.
Even from a pure tactical point of view one rifleman's life is worth a lot more than a magazine. So I'm sure most squad leaders and another front line commanders don't care if a soldier misplaced a magazine during a firefight. It's more the higher ups and supply people that would care and that's only if it has become a large scale problem.
at great mistakes, we were trained to let the magazine fall and reload. but that was handguns in a training environment so take it with a grain or two of salt
Speaking of larger modern magazines. I was a US Army Infantry Officer for 23 years. While the standard 30 round M16 magazines where optimum for most situations, it was not uncommon for experienced vets to carry one of the smaller old style 20 round magazines, or even a commercial 10 round competition mag in their loadout expressly for situations that would require them to get as low to the ground as possible, like firing from the prone under a vehicle. One can cant the weapon sideways to clear the long 30 round mag, but this does effect the ability to shoot with accuracy. Modern armies also still issue bulk ammo loaded on 10 round clips. The magazines are loaded from clips. US Army soldiers are issued a standard compliment of 7 rifle magazines. Most combat arms troops will be issued or otherwise acquire more. My Infantry troops routinely carried 14 or more 30 rd. magazines on their person in combat, with satchels of additional loaded 30rd mags stowed in their vehicles, but we loaded those mags using stripper clips and clip guides back on base. This was when fighting from troop carriers. When fighting on foot, most Infantry soldiers would carry 13 loaded magazines (12 in the pouches, one in the rifle), and another 100-200 rounds of extra ammo was carried in the rucksack loaded on clips. Army soldiers are trained to retain empty magazines “when possible”. So it’s not a huge deal if a soldier reports to supply for more magazines, but if a soldier is constantly losing or ditching magazines, it would get noticed after a while (while in garrison) in combat theater, it was raining magazines, nobody cares. I was rotating back from Iraq we where supposed to give all of our excess magazines to our relief. But our relief had just been issued the fancy new Gen 5 polymer magazines, so they didn’t want our our Gen 4 aluminum magazines. I think I still have ~200 Gen 3 & 4 aluminum magazines in a box in my garage.
I can see the "raining magazines" point, especially in combat. I was just a dirty nasty POG in my time, but I was always told to never throw away a magazine if I was ever down range. We were all told about an instance where a magazine was left behind in a fight and someone had rigged an IED to it for an unsuspecting soldier to pick up on a later patrol. Also, we were told to never touch a single thing outside the wire, for any reason, ever.
@@nitrousable Soldiers, as far as I know are only issued magazines at the firing range or in the field for training exercises and such while in garrison. Infantry might be different where they may be responsible for all of their items all of the time. I was just a mechanic when I was in and we only got magazines at the firing range
The different experiences are interesting to read. As ABN Inf we typically carried 13 as above with more in our butt packs, 2-4 mags, as possible. Carrying extra ammo for the M60's, C4, Claymores and 60 mortar shells (no vehicles we carried everything & dropped rucks in combat asap) there wasn't a lot of extra room in a butt back even when it was extended. In training, mags were recovered after an exercise but our emphasis was on speed and movement (no body armor and little in the way of supporting fires) so mags lay were they fell which is how they get lost. That said, GIs can and will lose anything. I am intrigued and troubled that our mechanic friend was only issued mags as needed. Our support personnel always had a basic infantry load within reach at all times and Senior NCOs were always checking readiness. I watched the video and, honestly, it sounded like a logisticians take from 1910. Militaries are notoriously conservative and tactical load outs are too often made by those who've never been at the tip of the spear. If you look at pix and videos from WWI storm troopers you'll see them carrying as many grenades and other ammo as possible. Film from the last two years of WWII show front line soldiers carrying as much ammo as possible (the marines are often the exception on the film's I've seen) in Vietnam and with modern operators carrying 300 or 400 rounds is the norm. You need ammo and you need it fast. Picking up empty mags in a fire fight is a good way to get you or someone else killed. I envy folks like the officer above who had a vehicle on hand to provide resupply and fire suport. That said, we always considered vehicles to be huge and noisy targets which were to be avoided when possible altho catching a ride was always sweet

its situational. Halftracks are lighter which means are excellent for getting through deep mud, where tanks will just sink in because of their massive weight. But tanks have big heavy guns and big heavy armor that are better for blowing thing up and killing people with. And jeeps are very light and fast, but they sink into mud just as easy as tanks because the weight is on 4 small points. Not to mention that the various vehicles have completely different roles on the battlefield. Its about using the right tool for the job.
Incorrect. The key variable is not weight, it's ground pressure. The reason German tanks had so much trouble in mud is because they used absurdly narrow tracks. Double the width of the track, halve the effective weight of your vehicle.
Well a clip can only hold so many pieces of paper together and can come apart easily. While a magazine has all your papers glued or stapled to a spine. For the casual user clips are all you really need. However if you are a professional the magazine is totally worth it in my opinion.
M1 Carbine magazines were often treated as semi-disposable by US troops in WWII because they became unreliable if you used them for a long time. The US produced a lot of those magazines and troops would often replace their magazines with new ones whenever they could.
A magazine is not disposable, unless of course you are the French and you decide to make disposable magazines. But then of course they are too expensive to dispose of so you keep them for later use. So you are reusing cheap disposable magazines that shortly thereafter break because of how cheap and disposable they are. Vive la France!
The chamber is where the cartridge is locked and confined for firing directly behind and integral with the barrel. If you're really so curious, google it.
Regarding your last point about the magazine getting in the way, I have heard that when going prone with an M16/AR-15-style rifle, it's much easier to aim while prone with a 20 round mag than it is with a 30 round one.
@@joshuathatcher8614 it's not as stable as your handguard/rail on something, or your elbow. Do we do it/teach it? Sure but that's because idiots like to magwell grip and move their elbow around a lot if it's slightly uncomfortable on the ground and mess up their shot placement post sight in.
@@asymsolutions I find any kind of monopod more stable than my elbow. I use a (knockoff) KAC vertical foregrip for this exact reason, it's long enough that with my fist under it I effectively have a monopod. AR-15s should run just fine if you use a magazine as the monopod, the only reason I bother with the foregrip is because old habits die hard and I was taught not to monopod off the magazine. Granted, I'm not the best rifle shot, so it might be a result of me doing something wrong, I suppose. With my skill level if I'm shooting at a head+torso target at 100m offhand, then it's a coin toss whether I get every shot of a ten round group in the target. Not exactly exemplary, I'd much rather show off my pistol shooting instead.
Being in the army I must say. You don't put your Magazines inside your belt if it's costing you vital seconds. You drop it on the ground and put it on your belt when the seconds are less vital.
siprus Correct for the modern era where magazines are mass produced at a cheep rate. During the first half of the 20th century, disposable magazines were illogical, especially during the world wars where every nation's production and recourses were being stretched to the limit.
Yep, people seem to forget that in the modern era we have machines that can stamp and weld metal with speed and precision, not to mention digital kilns that can heat treat just about any metal to exactly what you need for purpose but back in the days when these weapons where standard issue most of the work to make a magazine (or any part of a rifle) had to be done with manual labour on a mill, a process that is expensive and time consuming.
Unless you're the Arsenal of Democracy, in which case you can throw away as many magazines as you like cause there's plenty more where those came from.
But what if you need to retreat or push forward, will you then just first pick up the magizines or do you win the whole battle first and then pick them?
Also worth pointing out: today we use much smaller rounds in fully/semi automatic rifles that weigh less themselves. For today's weapons a clip makes no sense, but they were fine for their era. Also, many rifles back then had fixed, internal magazines, and could only use clips.
B Harnden Fair, but you usually aren't doing that in the middle of a fire fight. Better to slap a new mag in your rifle than try to reload the old one.
Full size cartridge or intermediate cartridge or even pistol cartridge, doesn't matter in terms "good for clips" or "bad for clips". That is to say, that it is not so direct. A box magazine will always give the advantage (the degree to which could be debatable depending on circumstance) when it comes to the reload. That and being able to double-stack the rounds (or even quad stack) offers advantages over the linear single stack you're limited to on most clips. Before intermediate cartridges were so widely adopted, there were plenty of rifles in use using larger cartridges fed by removable box magazines (M14 and FAL to name a couple). In the same post war era, rifles such as the SKS were clip fed while using an intermediate cartridge and it works just fine. Box magazines would be the standard today, regardless of cartridge size.
Bolt-action rifles just don't gain as much of an advantage in rate of fire with magazines beyond a certain (small) size (and you can't really even use their full rate of fire because you still have to aim each shot individually). Bigger magazines (which are awkward to reload using clips, especially in combat) are only a real advantage if your gun is at least semi-automatic (allowing for suppressing fire, followup shots/walking your fire onto the target which each takes multiple shots per engaged target in quick succession).
Trust is not word you use around firearms and expect to live or not accidentally kill someone. It would have been better if he had showed they were inert or dummy rounds.
I cringed. I assume it's a replica that can't actually fire real bullets (as opposed to just dummy rounds) but my firearm safety alarm kept going off every time he did it.
It's a real Firearm and empty Cases (or filled with Lead or something) but still, Lloyd, the Bloke probably flinches every time you pull that Trigger without meaning to actually shoot. The Point is made by just indicating Fire.
Agreed. I have been shooting for 35+ years & always wondered why they stuck with clips in WWII. Then I started getting into older guns, military surplus etc and the technology just wasn't there yet. With guns of that era, an internal magazine, loaded with a stripper clip or similar device just worked better. Detachable magazines of the era are heavy, they don't slide in easily like modern magazines & they weren't nearly as reliable as modern magazines. In the 30's/ early 40's we were just on the edge of that technology. Some magazine fed guns worked well, many didn't. After having the opportunity to play with some guns of that time period, it became obvious why they did things the way they did. It took just a few more years of development before magazine fed guns became truly practical.

Things are hugely more mobile and mechanized now. Fighting was a lot more direct back then, so even though moving around is a bit easier, weapons shoot A LOT further now too (much more accurately nowadays also), so actual infantry combat outside of special operations isn't as common either "Should our platoon rush into that building full of enemies or make a phone call to HQ and have Paladin 25 miles away (Or drone launched from a base 200 miles away, or cruise missile from 500 miles away) make that building disappear?

The Swiss believed in "Aggressive Neutrality " they bought 12 Bf-109s from Germany before the war started and used them to keep their skies free of German and allied aircraft. Any allied aircraft were forced to land at swiss airfields and were interned but the fighters were repaired and used by the swiss to protect their airspace.

Speaking of soldiers breaking things, my uncle who was in the US Marines said if you locked a group of Marine privates in a room with 3 anvils, an hour later one anvil would be broken, another missing. and the third would be pregnant. I've always loved the imagery of that.
That is true you know the corps
My uncle told me if you left a marine in a room with a box of crayons for 30 seconds you'd find an empty box and a marine with a colourful mouth.
I don’t get it, please explain
Smartza Peple same I'm confused
I was going to say a lack of understanding must mean you're a Marine, but then every Marine knows that crayons are for eating. So you must be Army, then.
you forgot to mention - there were actually some clips which were made out of hardened cardboard.
so they were easily disposable, very cheap AND any leftover remains was self degradable.
i think during winters it was actually even harder to spot where the enemy would have been due to the nature of those cardboard clips.
these were usually used for a sniper rifle during WW1 and WW2 from what i understand.
with a metal clip you couldn't rely on your disposed clips to not be found by the enemy.
and with a metal magazine you were actually in a disadvantage from the same reasons you stated: more weight, having to store them on your vest after use, longer rifle reload times etc.
Also, the bullets were made of toffee and the rifle was made of marzipan.
One reason:
The M1 Garand uses a clip.

My favorite thing about internal magazines is the fact that you can pretty much always top them off whenever you want to or need to. So you could have a couple of Clips but also a couple of loose rounds to top off.
Back when the primary modes of military transport were walking or horses, weight mattered a great deal more than it does today. Take an awkward rifle on a 50 mile hike and suddenly balance and weight is super important.
True, but weight is starting to matter again because of all of the weight your average grunt is carrying on him. On average, a grunt is carrying at least 40 lbs in body armor alone, then there's ammo, rations, water, batteries for all of the electronics on his rifle and for the radios and other gizmos, and maybe a bit of spare clothing, and who what else. By the end, the average grunt might be humping 60 or more pounds depending on the duration and nature of the mission which is why there's been a push by the military to find ways of shaving weight off of everything possible. Of course the joke (or sad truth) is that for every pound they manage to shave off, the brass will simply replace with another pound worth of gear and you wind up back at square one.
Weight is always a concern especially on unmounted patrols. When I was in the Corps i was a 0351 and in addition to my pack, carrier, MG, and ammo I also had to haul a CG rifle on occasion. Despite me rating a pistol I only took it out twice on patrol because I didn't need it and it was bulky and heavy.
Slavik Chukhlebov For the most part you'd be correct but a lot of us still have to hump it several kilometers when on patrol depending on where you are and what unit you're in. It also makes a difference what mos you are. As an 0372 we didnt do as much patrols as we did direct action missions, which granted can be pretty far away from our village or fob. Also from my experience most of the stuff we left behind was because it was broken and useless or we were going so far on foot we only wanted the bare essentials and shaved off everything we didnt need.
Slavik Chukhlebov Also the ammo thing is in my experience a pretty big myth. The weight difference between your standard 7.62 and 5.56 is inconsequential and doesnt make much of a difference. I was issued a mk17 for a while as an 0372 and carried almost the exact same amount of ammo in 7.62 as my buddies with M4s carrying 5.56. In fact I noticed I used up less of my ammo than them because I didnt need as many rounds to put someone down as they did so I could have carried less if I wanted to.
Part of that may have been the type of combat you were in. Soldiers like to forget that while their current equipment isn't quite as well suited to the way they use it as it could be, if it was made the way they wanted it would do poorly in another situation the army might be involved in later.

I like that some ammo for SKS already comes on clips, pretty convenient.

@@Redneck322 I can see where you are coming from in regards to refugees and free speech as well as the lack of action against Antifa. Under Merkel herself the "right to defend yourself" hasn't really changed and I believe the number of weapon owners in Germany has even gone up.
Not really sure what any of those (except for freedom of speech) has to do with Hitle though. The Nazis were very much liked and supported by German businessmen and allowed private companies to benefit from slave labour in the concentration camps. They actively encouraged every German man to own a gun and they certainyl didn't support "non-Arian" immigration to Europe. The third reich was also about as anti globalist as North Korea is today, leaving the league of nations and isolating their economy.
Merkel should certainly be critizised, but she does pretty much the opposite of what the Nazis did and there really isn't any party in German politics that would do better were it in power.
At least it isn't prejudicial or random like "Kraut" or "N**i".

Magazines are too safe, you want your soldiers in constant fear of smashing their thumb; builds character.
insane but true
dentistguba Other than that only being an issue for one gun, the M1 Garand, the risk of smashing your thumb is almost nonexistent. When the loaded clip latches in, the bolt still needs bumped forward a bit to start it closing, likewise proper loading technique- as taught to soldiers- eliminates any risk. The majority of thumb accidents are caused by non-trained persons pushing the follower of the empty gun down to allow the bolt to be close for storage. Again, only by being done incorrectly is there any risk. On the other side, the enbloc clip eliminates need to remove or release any magazine and can be reloaded much more quickly than with a magazine. Capacity is the only downside of the garand's design when compared to removable magazines
There is exactely one rifle that has the Danger of doing so but about 10.000 others that dont my friend. And even with the M1 you seriously got got to force it to get your thumb crushed.
Right you are, old chap. Fingernails are for sissies.
Never injured my thumbs using stripper clips. A I loaded hundreds or thousands rounds. Practice practice practice.
i love how clumsy this guy is when it comes to magazines but with a clip he could throw it 150ft into the air do a triple front flip and land with the clip already in the weapon.
Fun Fact: Even today we don't usually throw away the magazines. Nobody gives a crap if you are under fire and let a magazine fall on the ground, but we carry little mag-bags at our Hips or train the motion to grab a fresh magazine and switch while reloading and put the old back in the pouch all with one hand. When you are actually under pressure to reload fast, you don't give a damn about the mag tho of course.
Exactly my thoughts, when he awkwardly changed mags ignoring a bag on his side.
Exactly. I used to carry a mag bag, but I've dropped a few when maneuvering on the enemy. Frankly, my life is worth more to me and to the Army than some magazine.
Even from a pure tactical point of view one rifleman's life is worth a lot more than a magazine. So I'm sure most squad leaders and another front line commanders don't care if a soldier misplaced a magazine during a firefight. It's more the higher ups and supply people that would care and that's only if it has become a large scale problem.
But afterwards there will be cleaning up to do.
at great mistakes, we were trained to let the magazine fall and reload. but that was handguns in a training environment so take it with a grain or two of salt
“They listened to some Experts. Not me. I’m just a bloke off youtube” 😂
Speaking of larger modern magazines.
I was a US Army Infantry Officer for 23 years.
While the standard 30 round M16 magazines where optimum for most situations, it was not uncommon for experienced vets to carry one of the smaller old style 20 round magazines, or even a commercial 10 round competition mag in their loadout expressly for situations that would require them to get as low to the ground as possible, like firing from the prone under a vehicle.
One can cant the weapon sideways to clear the long 30 round mag, but this does effect the ability to shoot with accuracy.
Modern armies also still issue bulk ammo loaded on 10 round clips. The magazines are loaded from clips.
US Army soldiers are issued a standard compliment of 7 rifle magazines. Most combat arms troops will be issued or otherwise acquire more. My Infantry troops routinely carried 14 or more 30 rd. magazines on their person in combat, with satchels of additional loaded 30rd mags stowed in their vehicles, but we loaded those mags using stripper clips and clip guides back on base.
This was when fighting from troop carriers.
When fighting on foot, most Infantry soldiers would carry 13 loaded magazines (12 in the pouches, one in the rifle), and another 100-200 rounds of extra ammo was carried in the rucksack loaded on clips.
Army soldiers are trained to retain empty magazines “when possible”. So it’s not a huge deal if a soldier reports to supply for more magazines, but if a soldier is constantly losing or ditching magazines, it would get noticed after a while (while in garrison) in combat theater, it was raining magazines, nobody cares. I was rotating back from Iraq we where supposed to give all of our excess magazines to our relief. But our relief had just been issued the fancy new Gen 5 polymer magazines, so they didn’t want our our Gen 4 aluminum magazines. I think I still have ~200 Gen 3 & 4 aluminum magazines in a box in my garage.
Now that's a lot of instructions there.
I can see the "raining magazines" point, especially in combat. I was just a dirty nasty POG in my time, but I was always told to never throw away a magazine if I was ever down range. We were all told about an instance where a magazine was left behind in a fight and someone had rigged an IED to it for an unsuspecting soldier to pick up on a later patrol. Also, we were told to never touch a single thing outside the wire, for any reason, ever.
A question: how does a soldier lose magazines outside of combat while garrisoned? Legit curious
@@nitrousable Soldiers, as far as I know are only issued magazines at the firing range or in the field for training exercises and such while in garrison. Infantry might be different where they may be responsible for all of their items all of the time. I was just a mechanic when I was in and we only got magazines at the firing range
The different experiences are interesting to read. As ABN Inf we typically carried 13 as above with more in our butt packs, 2-4 mags, as possible. Carrying extra ammo for the M60's, C4, Claymores and 60 mortar shells (no vehicles we carried everything & dropped rucks in combat asap) there wasn't a lot of extra room in a butt back even when it was extended.
In training, mags were recovered after an exercise but our emphasis was on speed and movement (no body armor and little in the way of supporting fires) so mags lay were they fell which is how they get lost. That said, GIs can and will lose anything.
I am intrigued and troubled that our mechanic friend was only issued mags as needed. Our support personnel always had a basic infantry load within reach at all times and Senior NCOs were always checking readiness.
I watched the video and, honestly, it sounded like a logisticians take from 1910. Militaries are notoriously conservative and tactical load outs are too often made by those who've never been at the tip of the spear. If you look at pix and videos from WWI storm troopers you'll see them carrying as many grenades and other ammo as possible. Film from the last two years of WWII show front line soldiers carrying as much ammo as possible (the marines are often the exception on the film's I've seen) in Vietnam and with modern operators carrying 300 or 400 rounds is the norm. You need ammo and you need it fast. Picking up empty mags in a fire fight is a good way to get you or someone else killed.
I envy folks like the officer above who had a vehicle on hand to provide resupply and fire suport. That said, we always considered vehicles to be huge and noisy targets which were to be avoided when possible altho catching a ride was always sweet

next do a video on halftracks! where they any good? why are they not used anymore? i know you like halftracks.
APCs are sort of the evolution of halftracks
Probably because the ability to steer with wheels is not worth the loss of traction. Half tracks got stuck in mud a lot
its situational. Halftracks are lighter which means are excellent for getting through deep mud, where tanks will just sink in because of their massive weight. But tanks have big heavy guns and big heavy armor that are better for blowing thing up and killing people with. And jeeps are very light and fast, but they sink into mud just as easy as tanks because the weight is on 4 small points. Not to mention that the various vehicles have completely different roles on the battlefield. Its about using the right tool for the job.
Because its a compromise and militaries don't need to compromise these days.
Incorrect. The key variable is not weight, it's ground pressure. The reason German tanks had so much trouble in mud is because they used absurdly narrow tracks. Double the width of the track, halve the effective weight of your vehicle.
Well a clip can only hold so many pieces of paper together and can come apart easily. While a magazine has all your papers glued or stapled to a spine. For the casual user clips are all you really need. However if you are a professional the magazine is totally worth it in my opinion.
Magazines are highly prized by professionals, and are reused forever. Anyone in a doctor's waiting room could tell you that.
This comment is funny
On the other hand, a clip can be bent straight and used to open a DVD drive in the field.
@schimmel72 True, but when the pages stick together soldiers don't want to use it as toilet paper for some reason.
M1 Carbine magazines were often treated as semi-disposable by US troops in WWII because they became unreliable if you used them for a long time. The US produced a lot of those magazines and troops would often replace their magazines with new ones whenever they could.
A magazine is not disposable, unless of course you are the French and you decide to make disposable magazines.
But then of course they are too expensive to dispose of so you keep them for later use.
So you are reusing cheap disposable magazines that shortly thereafter break because of how cheap and disposable they are.
Vive la France!

Clip feeds a magazine.
Magazine feeds the chamber.
Sometimes the magazine is built in, sometimes it's removable.
They will certainly save your thumb if you are reloading a bunch of magazines.
It is also quicker vs loading one round at a time into a magazine.
@Alexander Jenkins The chambers doesn't feed anything it shits rounds down the barrel.
few2many FEED ME CLIP
The chamber is where the cartridge is locked and confined for firing directly behind and integral with the barrel. If you're really so curious, google it.
Better yet, why use clips when you can use magazines AND call them clips? You get the best of both worlds and you get to piss everybody off.

Regarding your last point about the magazine getting in the way, I have heard that when going prone with an M16/AR-15-style rifle, it's much easier to aim while prone with a 20 round mag than it is with a 30 round one.
Bench rest shooting is easier with a 10 than a 30.
Depends on terrain. Often you can rest your magazine on the ground to give yourself some added stability.
@@joshuathatcher8614 it's not as stable as your handguard/rail on something, or your elbow. Do we do it/teach it? Sure but that's because idiots like to magwell grip and move their elbow around a lot if it's slightly uncomfortable on the ground and mess up their shot placement post sight in.
@@asymsolutions I find any kind of monopod more stable than my elbow. I use a (knockoff) KAC vertical foregrip for this exact reason, it's long enough that with my fist under it I effectively have a monopod. AR-15s should run just fine if you use a magazine as the monopod, the only reason I bother with the foregrip is because old habits die hard and I was taught not to monopod off the magazine.
Granted, I'm not the best rifle shot, so it might be a result of me doing something wrong, I suppose. With my skill level if I'm shooting at a head+torso target at 100m offhand, then it's a coin toss whether I get every shot of a ten round group in the target. Not exactly exemplary, I'd much rather show off my pistol shooting instead.
@@wurfyy I never said they didn't run well, just that it messes up your shot placement because of the wiggle
Being in the army I must say. You don't put your Magazines inside your belt if it's costing you vital seconds. You drop it on the ground and put it on your belt when the seconds are less vital.
siprus Correct for the modern era where magazines are mass produced at a cheep rate. During the first half of the 20th century, disposable magazines were illogical, especially during the world wars where every nation's production and recourses were being stretched to the limit.
Yep, people seem to forget that in the modern era we have machines that can stamp and weld metal with speed and precision, not to mention digital kilns that can heat treat just about any metal to exactly what you need for purpose but back in the days when these weapons where standard issue most of the work to make a magazine (or any part of a rifle) had to be done with manual labour on a mill, a process that is expensive and time consuming.
Unless you're the Arsenal of Democracy, in which case you can throw away as many magazines as you like cause there's plenty more where those came from.
cb430sbro he literally said "put it back in when the seconds are less vital" can you guys not read?
But what if you need to retreat or push forward, will you then just first pick up the magizines or do you win the whole battle first and then pick them?
I want to know why some people still buy magazines when there's so much free porn on the internet.

If you cant decide: Clipazines

Also worth pointing out: today we use much smaller rounds in fully/semi automatic rifles that weigh less themselves. For today's weapons a clip makes no sense, but they were fine for their era. Also, many rifles back then had fixed, internal magazines, and could only use clips.
Sawed Off Laser You still load an AR mag with stripper clips, and "spoons".
B Harnden Fair, but you usually aren't doing that in the middle of a fire fight. Better to slap a new mag in your rifle than try to reload the old one.
Yep, technology and new military doctrines simply made clips obsolete in war.
Full size cartridge or intermediate cartridge or even pistol cartridge, doesn't matter in terms "good for clips" or "bad for clips". That is to say, that it is not so direct. A box magazine will always give the advantage (the degree to which could be debatable depending on circumstance) when it comes to the reload. That and being able to double-stack the rounds (or even quad stack) offers advantages over the linear single stack you're limited to on most clips.
Before intermediate cartridges were so widely adopted, there were plenty of rifles in use using larger cartridges fed by removable box magazines (M14 and FAL to name a couple). In the same post war era, rifles such as the SKS were clip fed while using an intermediate cartridge and it works just fine. Box magazines would be the standard today, regardless of cartridge size.
Bolt-action rifles just don't gain as much of an advantage in rate of fire with magazines beyond a certain (small) size (and you can't really even use their full rate of fire because you still have to aim each shot individually). Bigger magazines (which are awkward to reload using clips, especially in combat) are only a real advantage if your gun is at least semi-automatic (allowing for suppressing fire, followup shots/walking your fire onto the target which each takes multiple shots per engaged target in quick succession).

Trust is not word you use around firearms and expect to live or not accidentally kill someone. It would have been better if he had showed they were inert or dummy rounds.

It's a real Firearm and empty Cases (or filled with Lead or something) but still, Lloyd, the Bloke probably flinches every time you pull that Trigger without meaning to actually shoot.
The Point is made by just indicating Fire.
Agreed. I have been shooting for 35+ years & always wondered why they stuck with clips in WWII. Then I started getting into older guns, military surplus etc and the technology just wasn't there yet. With guns of that era, an internal magazine, loaded with a stripper clip or similar device just worked better. Detachable magazines of the era are heavy, they don't slide in easily like modern magazines & they weren't nearly as reliable as modern magazines.
In the 30's/ early 40's we were just on the edge of that technology. Some magazine fed guns worked well, many didn't. After having the opportunity to play with some guns of that time period, it became obvious why they did things the way they did. It took just a few more years of development before magazine fed guns became truly practical.
If i remember currently then at beginning of 20th century it was selling point to have weapons with interchangeable parts.
