Yea, since the anti-tank weapon resembled Burns' 'bazooka' it was a lot cooler to yell to your buddy, "SHOOT THAT TANK WITH THE BAZOOKA" instead of shouting "FIRE THAT MAN-PORTABLE RECOILLESS ANTITANK SOLID FUEL ROCKER LAUNCHER WEAPON AT THAT TANK!" "HIT IT WITH THAT BAZOOKA" just sounded a whole lot cooler. During World War II, German armed forces captured several bazookas in early North African and Eastern Front encounters and soon reverse engineered their own version, increasing the warhead diameter to 8.8 cm (among other minor changes) and widely issuing it as the Raketenpanzerbüchse "Panzerschreck" ("Tank terror"). The term "bazooka" continues to be used informally as a genericized term to refer to any shoulder-fired missile weapon (mainly rocket propelled grenades).

They did, they captured some bazookas in North Africa and then made their own version called the Panzerschreck or tank-terror. I know this because I just bought the Osprey booklet on the weapon and they have page with Bob Burns on it with both bazooka and the namesake. It got named by Gen. Barnes who claimed it looked like Bob Burns Bazooka. I'm here because I just purchased that book.:)
Wow! A slide jug or variable volume Himholtz resonator. Tomorrow I'll be hitting the Redwood flea market looking for nice fitting thin wall tubing and an old galvanized funnel with lots of character..
I just read that the Bazooka (gun) was named for a home made musical instrument used in jazz and I wanted to hear what the bazooka instrument sounded like, so I found myself here. What it made me think of...you know that old joke (I think it was enacted in a "If you don't stop it, You'll go blind" movie), the punch line is "You woke me at 3 a.m. to hear some a__hole play Dixie?"
oh by the way, what does Burns says when he is asked about the size of Clementine's 2 and a half shoes? i can barely understand and it sounds like "2 cows and a calf high".
Oh, m'darlin', oh, m'darlin' Oh, m'daaaaaaaaaaarlin' Clementiiiiiiiiiiiiiine She is lost and gone ferever An' her shoooooooooooes were number niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine...
It’s incredible how much humor and general communication has transformed in the last 100 years. I’m listening to this guy speak English but he might as well be speaking another language. No clue what he’s saying.
This is the most Forgotten Weapon.
brazilians disagree
I wonder if Rock Island would auction off a bazooka
The Canada Dry joke made me laugh. Too funny.
Bob Burns describes his cousin Clemantine's shoe size as, "Two cow hides and a half a bushel of tacks."
Claude Thanks Claude I missed that. Comedy back then was sharp and fast just like good comedy today.

For such an upbeat song that Clementine song is pretty sad and dark.
This guy was born and raised in arkansas

AAAH good comedy!
I bet that lady had a hard time keeping her face straight when the guy starting blowing on that bazooka.

damn,that canada dry joke got me, good shit compared to fart jokes and fidget spinners
I know right? That was a for real L-O-L. I'll have to remember that one.
That instrument looks more like a Panzerfaust rather than a Bazooka.
It sure was a mouthful to yell to your buddy, "Hey! Hand me that shoulder fired recoilless anti-tank rocket launcher, M1!"

This is better than anything being produced today.
So she went from Bob Hope and "Thanks for the Memory" to this, huh?
Great stuff. Those were the fun days in entertainment.
gadzooks, he coined it?
oh by the way, what does Burns says when he is asked about the size of Clementine's 2 and a half shoes? i can barely understand and it sounds like "2 cows and a calf high".
Mikhel Barajas he says her shoe size is "Two cow hides and a half o' bushel of tacks" haha!
Oh, m'darlin', oh, m'darlin'
Oh, m'daaaaaaaaaaarlin' Clementiiiiiiiiiiiiiine
She is lost and gone ferever
An' her shoooooooooooes were number niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine...
I remember bon burns. A long time ago
Looks like they did the video and then a voice over separately?
This one just sort of worries you to death, ha!
i would like to see more vids on how to make one
We can only assume that the Nazis stole his design.
Well no, the American M1 Bazooka rocket launcher was what the germans used as a basis for the design of the panzerschreck
*woooosh*

What a pretty woman. Back when women were women.
