+TFB TV also I don't know about you but a rifle or any gun that can open bottles isn't weird its just the company acknowledging that people like to drink and shoot... it might not be a good idea to do it at the same time... but still it's pretty ingenious
+BigHairyFenian since it's an israeli rifle and jews don't drink a lot of alcohol i think the chance they opened water bottles is bigger than opening beer bottles.
+MrSkyl1ne they drink a lot of alcohol man. Although sodas throughout the middle east are pop top glass not all (they do have plastic but cheaper for glass) but most.
+BigHairyFenian My dad told me you got sent to the stockade for using Uzi mags to open bottles when he was in the Israeli service. Also - he only mentioned using them to open beer bottles, LOL.
Obviously because they thought you were going to open a beer with it. They didn't want the teachers to think you were drinking alcohol with them so they ran. You should have had your Coca-Cola bottle out so they knew what your actual intentions were.
No you have it all wrong the Mosin-Nagant is a club that shoots, you never run out of ammo, it's the nokia 3310 of guns so it doesn't break and the bayonet is used to poke the eyes out of your enemies from 50 lightyears away

You can also shoot enemy solder's... enemy soldier's what? OH you mean SOLDIERS, you just don't know how and when to use an apostrophe. Or not use it in this case.

Not only Valmet gun has a vire cutter on tip of his barrel. Wire cutting devices, that was used attaced to the tip of the barrel, was prodused in USSR during the WWII.
ATI just ran out of receivers, i have two Galils atm and I am trying to re-weld a IMI receiver for a third. I have everything measured out the 4 parts cleaned up. The jig is made but i just havn't turn the tig on yet.
Le Mat: Shotgun chamber in a revolver. Reichsrevolver: Manual safety on a single action revolver. Brown Bess Musket: A musket that can pack powder by smacking the butt on the ground to save time normally spent ramming. ZK383: A 9mm submachine gun with quick change barrel, different bolts for different firing rates and a bipod. PS90: The magazine holds ammunition in a perpendicular manner to increase capacity, which then rotates it 90 degrees. It also ejects downwards, is bullpup, and has both a fire selector and progressive trigger built in, making it one of the weirdest submachine guns ever.
Those of us who were issued M16s with the 3 prong flash hider, also used them as wire cutters. They worked great opening cases of C rations. Just snag the wire like you did with the Valmet, give it a twist, and the wire would pop. You didn't even have to fire a round.
Another great video guys! I have a question for you if you don't mind. I seem to remember a Civil War era firearm that could double as a coffee grinder. Have you guys heard of such a thing or did I dream it up. Thanks.
+TFB TV Hey me and some other fans REALLY want you to make a video about that last gun, its so weird and i get so confused everytime you talk about it lol, PLEASE?
You did not dream this i have seen it before but fucked if i remember what it was called ...im pretty sure forgotten weapons channel has a episode on it
Your mention of antiaircraft fire from infantry touched on a point much overlooked. In the 70's the U.S. Army taught antiaircraft volley fire in basic. It was/is a very effective deterrent to low flying aircraft.
I heard early spec ops guys would use the Mosin for pole vaulting, stilts, building tepees, improvised helicopter rotors, and rowing on Viking longboats. Very versatile design.
The Galil is not a WTF Feature , It was designed that way because The Israelian Army kept using the magazine lips as a bottle opener and it destroys the mag , rather than disciplining them they invented the Galil with that feature.
Fun fact most Russian manufactured guns have a bottle opener hidden somewhere. Morin nagant has it in the bolt, makarov and tokerev has it if u pull the slide back, 1895 nagant revolver has it with the thing that pushes out the casings, and the SVD has it next to the mag. This is just to name a few. And also some French guns have wine bottle openers.
Galils may be the oddest and most functional modern rifle. Their beautiful Israeli manufacturing guns that have the abuse tolerance of an AK platform but still somehow out perform an AK in every way.
Heckler & Koch 91 + 93 both had a small hook on the forearm with a hole in it so that you could drive a nail into a wooden wall and hang the firearm on a wall so that nations with not a lot of money for firearms could save money on storage in their armories. Those Firearms also had the aequitas bottle opener so that the aluminum magazine lips would not be damaged by guys opening their beer. Another unique aspect of the 762 model was that if you had a squib load that foul the barrel the instructions actually stated to fire the next round.
The Galil is a great rifle, I used the R4(South African Galil) when I did my national service. The bottle opener feature is just a bonus, that groove is what holds the bipod in place, no-one with military experience will go out on patrol or whatever with glass bottles, think about the first time you need to dive for cover and that bottle breaks and impales you....
I always enjoyed the helpful magazine unloading feature on the Steyr-Hahn piston, and the instant concussion feature on the Warner Infallible. At least for elderly pistols.
The Savage model 87A also functions both semi auto or bolt action and will shoot .22L or short. In semi auto the action stays back until you release the trigger. Very fun rifle.
My dad has a Japanese Sniper Rifle with an Anti-Aircraft Sight and the way they got it was because my Papa Served in WWII and there was a Jap Sniper killing off guards at the base so they had to kill him and they took the Rifle
I have a pre-ban Calico M-900 (circa 1988), Made in Bakersfield, CA. This is by far the best pistol caliber carbine I have ever shot. Zero malfunctions and surprisingly accurate out to 100 yards. It has a cool factor to it because people do not know what it is when they see it. Every now and then you run into someone who remembers them from the 1980's. The 1980's......when men were men and women had curly hair......LOL!
why the shit would you have an optional bolt action on a semi? the only reason to have a bolt action is accuracy and manufacture cost...both negated by also being semiauto. thats it...im inventing the laser sight for grenades. someone will buy it because yes.
Definitely interesting to see (and read) the impressions and concepts by civilian gun collectors or enthusiasts (saying that in a positive way) about certain non US firearms of military use, compared to the impressions of former soldiers who used such weapons at the time and place where they had their heyday. While the Galil as service infantry rifle at the IDF was appreciated it was quite quickly seen as TOO heavy (the rifle as well as its mag’s), notoriously rust sensitive and suffering from strong effects such as loosed stock (the noise caused by the stock ‘banging’ on the frame was often muffled by wrapping it with a bandana type of cloths when off duty … ), the bipods constantly getting loosed (almost all Galil rifles had those removed by the mid 80s as the bipods were always getting worn out faster than any other part. The ‘can opening’ ring was also replaced by one lacking the two edges that held the folded bipods). It was also seen as very much inaccurate due to the fact the two sights were not located on the same part of the rifle and the upper (removable) cover of the rifle-where the back sight was located-tended to get worn out quickly too and quite often was probably able to ‘shift’ a half millimeter either side - meaning that the back sight was not in reality fixed. Even though I know that the Galil non fixed sights were taking more than needed ‘blame’ for the marksmanship problems in the brigades… I still remember a short article in an army newspaper in the mid 90s describing an occasion when a mission of one west European army infantry (Dutch I believe) were on work visit to an IDF brigade. The end of the article said something like ‘The guests liked the fact that the Galil can be easily used when wearing winter gloves and at the range quickly proved to us in the IDF that our myth of the Galil being inaccurate is just a myth’. However - it was always seen as highly reliable and durable. Closing the stock was ordered to be done only by pressing and holding, simultaneously, the base of the stock and back of the rifle, so to release the lock of the stock and fold it. In reality many used to close the stock by hitting if from the side with your hip or hitting it with your shoulder. This action was the cause for the rapid worn out condition of the rifles stock. The can opening option was listed (as a picture) in a field manual from the 70s but this to had been deliberately designed to function as a bottle opener an urban (or maybe better said ‘basic training classroom’) myth. It was told by 1000s of boot camp NCO’s to 100000s of conscripts… and I guess many believed it… same people would occasionally tell you that the m-16 was also designed so to serve as an oar in Vietnam. 1990 I recall that it was already seen as too problematic in many aspects - mainly for its weight. In 1991 or 1992 one infantry brigade was issued (or ‘re issued’ considering the fact they already used it in the 70s…) the classic M-16. In my basic training in Brigade No. 1 in 1993 we were the first to receive the M-16 - in the middle of the 4 month basic training. Obviously the staff who praised the Galil a month before were now praising the merits of the M-16. Still it took a few years before people started trusting the M-16 as a better alternative (many of the M-16 issued for a start were old 1970s ones with old mags and too often worn out from years of service). Within a few years M-16s were issued even for the Armored and Artillery units and the Galil’s, and its very common short version, were passed to the reserves - from where they also disappeared at least 10 years ago. All in all the weapon was never considered as the default rifle for the entire army and treated as requiring much training and generally more dangerous than the M-16. In rear/non combat units who were armed the M-16 was the default and seen as the weapon ‘anyone can use’ and the Galil as requiring a whole day of intensive training before its issued to a rear soldier or a non combatant serving in a front unit. The fact that the safety pin needed to be changed to ‘single’ in order for the rifle to be loaded was seen as a major safety breach and indeed accidental discharge of rounds (in the range or on duty) quickly decreased once the M-16s were re issued in the front line units. The short M-16 were, and still are, the most beloved weapon of choice. My father had (among others... with the Mauser, Uzi, M-14) an M-16, I had (with Galil and M-14) an M-16 and my older son now has an M-16 as a service rifle in his unit. If any of his company know about the Galil (or Uzi…) its only from playing online games…
yeah too bad the measure units those nations use when doing science are the same measurements all non retarded nations use for everything the only difference is that nation uses retarded measurements for 90% of the things they do but when they need to do osme serious shit like get to the moon or just physics they use smart normal measurements :) (also nice moon landing with no stars in space i dont know how you guys did it to remove all those stars from the picture since there are so many they can be seen from anywhere)
The nickname in Alberta for that particular accessory on the Galil is a "church key." After seeing the Galil on Forgotten Weapons and here, I want to move someplace where I can own a Galil. A much as I love the VZ-58, that is just the ultimate uber-cool design feature. Galils are Prohibited class firearms in Canada, as they're considered an "AK Variant." I can buy a .50 BMG rifle but not a Galil - logic plays no part in it. When I was a kid (dinosaurs walked the Earth) there was an Army recruiting ad on the radio that went ....(singing) "There's no life like it..." Little did I know.
Hello tfb, I see you can add captions in your video (bipod not bayonet) which I didnt noticed on any other video of yours, just a feedback it would be really helpfull if you add the name of the gun when introducing it, also add a backdrop so the text would not be hard to read like some of your captions.
Oh cool, a valmet. One thing I'd like to mention about the muzzle wirecutter is that as one who served in the FDF, I find it odd that a finnish rifle would have such a wasteful thing. (dunno if it's truly meant to work by firing the rifle, my service rifle didn't have that feature) The doctrine we were taught was pretty conservative, no bursting and save ammo when you can, the idea of cutting a wire with a bullet seems strange to me. Suppose that is just a feature to be used as a last ditch effort. edit: Well, now that I think about it, firing at the enemy while cutting the wire makes more sense. But still a bit strange.
Back in the 80s there was this movie with Chevy Chase where he was an arms dealer. He was showing this guy all the features of this new assault rifle and pointed out that after a hard day on the battlefield it had a built-in bottle opener so you could pop open a refreshing beverage. I guess he wasn't kidding.

Some people just have a sort of irrational hatred of bullpups. At least that's what I'm guessing his main grievance is.
***** I've heard that because the barrel starts so far back, it makes the trigger more difficult to shoot. Just what I've heard.
FallaciousScotsman It didn't seem any worse than the average AR trigger to me. I would compare it to a plastic pistol like a glock or something. YMMV.
Yeah, I've heard the trigger pull argument too; but I imagine a well machined, high-quality rifle would minimize that to the point where the benefits would outweigh it. I've never really had problems myself the few times I've had the opportunity.

+pioltjose23 I know right
ATI just ran out of receivers, i have two Galils atm and I am trying to re-weld a IMI receiver for a third. I have everything measured out the 4 parts cleaned up. The jig is made but i just havn't turn the tig on yet.
Le Mat: Shotgun chamber in a revolver.
Reichsrevolver: Manual safety on a single action revolver.
Brown Bess Musket: A musket that can pack powder by smacking the butt on the ground to save time normally spent ramming.
ZK383: A 9mm submachine gun with quick change barrel, different bolts for different firing rates and a bipod.
PS90: The magazine holds ammunition in a perpendicular manner to increase capacity, which then rotates it 90 degrees. It also ejects downwards, is bullpup, and has both a fire selector and progressive trigger built in, making it one of the weirdest submachine guns ever.
The Stirling L1A2 SMG has an incredible 132 different ways to open a bottle of..... Soda.. (BEER!!!)
Those of us who were issued M16s with the 3 prong flash hider, also used them as wire cutters. They worked great opening cases of C rations. Just snag the wire like you did with the Valmet, give it a twist, and the wire would pop. You didn't even have to fire a round.
Another great video guys! I have a question for you if you don't mind. I seem to remember a Civil War era firearm that could double as a coffee grinder. Have you guys heard of such a thing or did I dream it up. Thanks.
+bigdaddydon1974 Thanks! But there were some Sharps rifles with grinders in them
+TFB TV Hey me and some other fans REALLY want you to make a video about that last gun, its so weird and i get so confused everytime you talk about it lol, PLEASE?
Stephanie Grodem
The Calico?
TFB TV I think thats what you called it lol
You did not dream this i have seen it before but fucked if i remember what it was called ...im pretty sure forgotten weapons channel has a episode on it
Ivan! This bottle opener doubles as AK! GENIUS!!! *heavy slavic accent*

Your mention of antiaircraft fire from infantry touched on a point much overlooked. In the 70's the U.S. Army taught antiaircraft volley fire in basic. It was/is a very effective deterrent to low flying aircraft.
That type 99 thingy be like:

I heard early spec ops guys would use the Mosin for pole vaulting, stilts, building tepees, improvised helicopter rotors, and rowing on Viking longboats. Very versatile design.
Topo Chico... I know a Texan when I see one
Me: *opens restaurant*
Customer: Yea could I have a bottle opener
Me: *its Show time*
The Galil is not a WTF Feature , It was designed that way because The Israelian Army kept using the magazine lips as a bottle opener and it destroys the mag , rather than disciplining them they invented the Galil with that feature.
Fun fact most Russian manufactured guns have a bottle opener hidden somewhere. Morin nagant has it in the bolt, makarov and tokerev has it if u pull the slide back, 1895 nagant revolver has it with the thing that pushes out the casings, and the SVD has it next to the mag. This is just to name a few. And also some French guns have wine bottle openers.
what about the Annihilator 2000 from beverly hills cop lol
Soldier: QUICK PASS ME A MAGAZINE
Guy with Galil: Wait..... Just gotta open this bottle
galil is the best rifle i have ever seen
What I want to know is...what the heck kind of video camera are you shooting with? That is awesome!
Galils may be the oddest and most functional modern rifle. Their beautiful Israeli manufacturing guns that have the abuse tolerance of an AK platform but still somehow out perform an AK in every way.
@morton christie Which caliber? They have multiple.
Heckler & Koch 91 + 93 both had a small hook on the forearm with a hole in it so that you could drive a nail into a wooden wall and hang the firearm on a wall so that nations with not a lot of money for firearms could save money on storage in their armories. Those Firearms also had the aequitas bottle opener so that the aluminum magazine lips would not be damaged by guys opening their beer. Another unique aspect of the 762 model was that if you had a squib load that foul the barrel the instructions actually stated to fire the next round.
heres one. the sa80 i had worked. very strange
+Jamie Grant If A1, congrats! You got the one that worked. If A2, yeah they are all fine
LoL
Props for showing first the feature thats on the thumbnail, not many youtubers do that.

Maybe your voice needs lubricating oil xD
The Galil is a great rifle, I used the R4(South African Galil) when I did my national service.
The bottle opener feature is just a bonus, that groove is what holds the bipod in place, no-one with military experience will go out on patrol or whatever with glass bottles, think about the first time you need to dive for cover and that bottle breaks and impales you....
Thr Valmet looks like a Galil that just came from vacation in Soviet Russia
nah galil is based on the Finnish RK 62 and the folding stock variant RK95. It will be my service rifle in one year :D
max Manninen good luck!
yes thanks. i need that lol
max Manninen I was going to serve too but Im still in high school so I had to delay it. here we use the IA2 rifle

With all the guns you show I would love if you showed a clip of it being shot please 😊😁😎
xd
I always enjoyed the helpful magazine unloading feature on the Steyr-Hahn piston, and the instant concussion feature on the Warner Infallible. At least for elderly pistols.
*HE SAID BIZZARE, IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE*
Shut
Shut the fuck up
Good video, straight to the point.
"It's for Water and Sodas"
Me an intellectual: *BEER*
I don' t know about Valmet with strange features , I was on the floor laughing when you comment : don't cut wires around the house with it .
Topo chico ,Viva México
"Soda or water or whatever" that's adorable.
Imagine having guests for dinner, they need a bottle opener, and you take out the Galil 😂😂

The Savage model 87A also functions both semi auto or bolt action and will shoot .22L or short. In semi auto the action stays back until you release the trigger. Very fun rifle.
My dad has a Japanese Sniper Rifle with an Anti-Aircraft Sight and the way they got it was because my Papa Served in WWII and there was a Jap Sniper killing off guards at the base so they had to kill him and they took the Rifle
I have a pre-ban Calico M-900 (circa 1988), Made in Bakersfield, CA. This is by far the best pistol caliber carbine I have ever shot. Zero malfunctions and surprisingly accurate out to 100 yards.
It has a cool factor to it because people do not know what it is when they see it. Every now and then you run into someone who remembers them from the 1980's.
The 1980's......when men were men and women had curly hair......LOL!
Suomi mainittu, torilla tavataan.
Every rifle needs a bottle opener! lol nice video!
why the shit would you have an optional bolt action on a semi? the only reason to have a bolt action is accuracy and manufacture cost...both negated by also being semiauto. thats it...im inventing the laser sight for grenades. someone will buy it because yes.
The requirements according to which the G41 was made demanded a semi auto with optional bolt action in case the semi auto mechanism failed.
Definitely interesting to see (and read) the impressions and concepts by civilian gun collectors or enthusiasts (saying that in a positive way) about certain non US firearms of military use, compared to the impressions of former soldiers who used such weapons at the time and place where they had their heyday. While the Galil as service infantry rifle at the IDF was appreciated it was quite quickly seen as TOO heavy (the rifle as well as its mag’s), notoriously rust sensitive and suffering from strong effects such as loosed stock (the noise caused by the stock ‘banging’ on the frame was often muffled by wrapping it with a bandana type of cloths when off duty … ), the bipods constantly getting loosed (almost all Galil rifles had those removed by the mid 80s as the bipods were always getting worn out faster than any other part. The ‘can opening’ ring was also replaced by one lacking the two edges that held the folded bipods).
It was also seen as very much inaccurate due to the fact the two sights were not located on the same part of the rifle and the upper (removable) cover of the rifle-where the back sight was located-tended to get worn out quickly too and quite often was probably able to ‘shift’ a half millimeter either side - meaning that the back sight was not in reality fixed. Even though I know that the Galil non fixed sights were taking more than needed ‘blame’ for the marksmanship problems in the brigades… I still remember a short article in an army newspaper in the mid 90s describing an occasion when a mission of one west European army infantry (Dutch I believe) were on work visit to an IDF brigade. The end of the article said something like ‘The guests liked the fact that the Galil can be easily used when wearing winter gloves and at the range quickly proved to us in the IDF that our myth of the Galil being inaccurate is just a myth’. However - it was always seen as highly reliable and durable.
Closing the stock was ordered to be done only by pressing and holding, simultaneously, the base of the stock and back of the rifle, so to release the lock of the stock and fold it. In reality many used to close the stock by hitting if from the side with your hip or hitting it with your shoulder. This action was the cause for the rapid worn out condition of the rifles stock. The can opening option was listed (as a picture) in a field manual from the 70s but this to had been deliberately designed to function as a bottle opener an urban (or maybe better said ‘basic training classroom’) myth. It was told by 1000s of boot camp NCO’s to 100000s of conscripts… and I guess many believed it… same people would occasionally tell you that the m-16 was also designed so to serve as an oar in Vietnam.
1990 I recall that it was already seen as too problematic in many aspects - mainly for its weight. In 1991 or 1992 one infantry brigade was issued (or ‘re issued’ considering the fact they already used it in the 70s…) the classic M-16. In my basic training in Brigade No. 1 in 1993 we were the first to receive the M-16 - in the middle of the 4 month basic training. Obviously the staff who praised the Galil a month before were now praising the merits of the M-16. Still it took a few years before people started trusting the M-16 as a better alternative (many of the M-16 issued for a start were old 1970s ones with old mags and too often worn out from years of service). Within a few years M-16s were issued even for the Armored and Artillery units and the Galil’s, and its very common short version, were passed to the reserves - from where they also disappeared at least 10 years ago.
All in all the weapon was never considered as the default rifle for the entire army and treated as requiring much training and generally more dangerous than the M-16. In rear/non combat units who were armed the M-16 was the default and seen as the weapon ‘anyone can use’ and the Galil as requiring a whole day of intensive training before its issued to a rear soldier or a non combatant serving in a front unit. The fact that the safety pin needed to be changed to ‘single’ in order for the rifle to be loaded was seen as a major safety breach and indeed accidental discharge of rounds (in the range or on duty) quickly decreased once the M-16s were re issued in the front line units. The short M-16 were, and still are, the most beloved weapon of choice. My father had (among others... with the Mauser, Uzi, M-14) an M-16, I had (with Galil and M-14) an M-16 and my older son now has an M-16 as a service rifle in his unit. If any of his company know about the Galil (or Uzi…) its only from playing online games…
please use nonretard measurements :D
+Kai Gore
We prefer to use measurements employed by nations that have put a flag on the moon.
oh damn
Touchè
Kai Gore oooh damn coming back with some fire
yeah too bad the measure units those nations use when doing science are the same measurements all non retarded nations use for everything the only difference is that nation uses retarded measurements for 90% of the things they do but when they need to do osme serious shit like get to the moon or just physics they use smart normal measurements :)
(also nice moon landing with no stars in space i dont know how you guys did it to remove all those stars from the picture since there are so many they can be seen from anywhere)
The SLR(FN FAL)had a bottle opener on it as well,flip forward the cocking handle and you got a bottle opener,the toaster was in the but stock.
TFB - Video of you guys shooting the Galil!! :) Thank you.
Vat19: And yes, this Galil has a bottle opener.
The nickname in Alberta for that particular accessory on the Galil is a "church key." After seeing the Galil on Forgotten Weapons and here, I want to move someplace where I can own a Galil. A much as I love the VZ-58, that is just the ultimate uber-cool design feature. Galils are Prohibited class firearms in Canada, as they're considered an "AK Variant." I can buy a .50 BMG rifle but not a Galil - logic plays no part in it. When I was a kid (dinosaurs walked the Earth) there was an Army recruiting ad on the radio that went ....(singing) "There's no life like it..." Little did I know.
Never thought I’d see a Topo Chico cracked open on a gun channel👌
Not sure why, but I find "I believe this is the only time in history a bottle of Topo Chico has been opened by an IMI Galil" hilarious.
You just gave me a reason to love the Galil even more.
Hello tfb, I see you can add captions in your video (bipod not bayonet) which I didnt noticed on any other video of yours, just a feedback it would be really helpfull if you add the name of the gun when introducing it, also add a backdrop so the text would not be hard to read like some of your captions.
You can also use the swivel part of the bipod as a bottle opener... The part that can be used as a wire cutter
Oh cool, a valmet. One thing I'd like to mention about the muzzle wirecutter is that as one who served in the FDF, I find it odd that a finnish rifle would have such a wasteful thing. (dunno if it's truly meant to work by firing the rifle, my service rifle didn't have that feature) The doctrine we were taught was pretty conservative, no bursting and save ammo when you can, the idea of cutting a wire with a bullet seems strange to me. Suppose that is just a feature to be used as a last ditch effort.
edit: Well, now that I think about it, firing at the enemy while cutting the wire makes more sense. But still a bit strange.
Did you use the same footage of the Calico for this video? Im onto you Alex C
- Hey, I got a cool bottle opener
- Where, where? Lemme see......OH SHIT......
I glad you warned me about cutting wires around the house with a Valmet. 😆
Back in the 80s there was this movie with Chevy Chase where he was an arms dealer. He was showing this guy all the features of this new assault rifle and pointed out that after a hard day on the battlefield it had a built-in bottle opener so you could pop open a refreshing beverage. I guess he wasn't kidding.
when i need to open a bottle of suds i just shoot the cap off and enjoy
