When he held that 30-06 against the 50 cal bullet, I thought it was a .223. Dam that 50cal is a big ass round.
So basically you’re an incompetent soldier. Nice
If you have never had the pleasure of shooting the Barrett, it is like holding a quarter stick of dynamite arms length in front of you. Feels just like it sounds. Amazing.
We use the M240 in the British Army, although a slight variant named the GPMG, I absolutely love it. Nothing in an infantry platoon spits hate down range better
SlopedOtter once the Mark 48 came out (7.62 NATO version of the M249) for USSOCOM I thought for patrolling in the mountains of Afghanistan or built up areas aka cities where you are not shooting at longer ranges like on an open battlefield that the smaller size and weight would be effective. But due to a shorter barrel I wonder that effect when being in shot in comparison to the GPMG?
Does the UK still use the wooden stocks like we do in Canada?
You guys do a lot for only 321,542 subscribers. But Yeah I love this channel, I dont know why more people dont watch this.
I watch alot of videos in this genre, and have for years and years. Just found out about this channel today after letting the auto play run for a few videos.
It's funny to see some of these negative comments from guys who wouldn't be qualified to lace Mr Vickers boots in real combat. LOL
"Chinese tactics" lol
i wish you would have shown a little damage from the 50 cal. Maybe an engine block then and now lol
When I think about buying any type kit I always see what Vickers Tactical had to say. Much respect to him.
The M240 is my baby girl. Love that weapon system. It's easy to love the M2, but the 240 puts in work and she just runs.
Thank you for posting these! Haven't seen them in years.
As always, very educational video w professional production. Thanks
In case you think me an idiot, my father was with the 1st, in Korea, from Oct., 1950 until Feb, 1951. He was sent to hospital in Kobe. Sorry, no medals..... I didn't get many stories, but he did tell me he melted two M2 carbine barrels one night.

Top Dog video chocked full of valuable info and beautiful weapons of war. Thank you for making this possible and certainly look forward to more.
16:50 Talking about the battles of Monte Cassino and *Stalingrad* in the same sentence (plus shortly before, speaking about a weapon's impact on the D-Day landings before seemingly as a side note mentioning the eastern front) kind of seems to me as an extremely distorted view on the historical importance of some battles the western allies fought in relation to German/Soviet battles. 90 % of German casualties were incurred in the east, the huge scales of men and material there dwarf anything happening in the west. People from the US as well as the UK often underestimate what monumental battles were fought by the Soviets. Compared to Stalingrad, Monte-Cassino is a minor skirmish not even worth mentioning in the slightest. (not taking away from the sacrifices and courage of the individual US or UK soldier - I have the greatest respect for all who took up arms. But on a macroscopic level, come on....)
And it isn't really a surprise since the cold war came right after, which was the context which the narrative for those wars were being constructed under.
Similarly, it is not really known that the Emporer of Japan didn't surrender because of the two nukes dropped, but because he was terrified of the red army at his doorstep which he knew would execute him instantly, so he surrendered to the US. If the red army was not at his doorstep he would according to the generals, and the emperor's writing not have surrendered then.
To the victors/first to the flag go the spoils, also there is not as clean a narrative in the way the red army was used by the Stalin, including the infamous conscription fodder units, of people Stalin and his ideology, or just his political enemies were considered undesirables. And order NO. 227. Millions of them were sent to die as nothing more than fodder to find out where the German units were, or wear them down. So in some ways, despite there of course also being heroes in the red army at that time, it was a pretty ugly scene on the Eastern front with 30 million people dying, mostly civilians, families, etc, pretty ugly scar on the consciousness that must have left. Less about heroics when millions are dying around you, you have no supplies, and some soldiers were literally ordered to run at heavily fortified German positions with nothing but fake wood carved into the shape of a rifle.
Nothing wrong with giving credit to the people who fought the European arena, all the gratitude, and respect, nothing but thank-you for my life as it is. It would be nice also to once in awhile call properly out the sacrifice of all those millions of Russian's so as not to be forgotten, because, without their contribution, the war would have been a very different thing. The battle of Normandy doesn't play out the same if Germany had never tried to take on the Russians. If the 4.5 million Germans soldiers were in Germany when the allied forces landed, that would have been one hell of a force to contend with. And it is likely the UK would have fallen before the US got into the war had Hitler not made the error of attacking Russia. Can't blitzkrieg Russian in winter. Plus if the war took longer, Japan could have been in it while most of our forces were involved in Russia. So yea, Russian's do the heavy lifting, but because they had the majority of German's forces to fight, the Allies were able to get to Berlin faster. And thank god they did, saved how many lives of people in the camps, etc. But your right. Russians sacrifice should not be a side-note. In reality, the majority of the war happened on the eastern front.
Awesome video. This is becoming one of my favorite series on TH-cam
We did this.
When we were 7 years old.
...
And lived to tell the tale.
We were unbeatable.
We went everywhere.

I love the NEW series. Keep up great work.
great show I never seen before keep them coming
Lovin' this series LAV!
A perfect tutorial for swatting off mass waves of zombies or law enforcement
Well, it's not always a zombies that are attacking... massive attack usually starts with hell over the earth artillery barrage and airstrikes. And then when half of you are already dead you can start offering resistance to those who would attack on foot and supported by tanks and ATGM fire.
For those people who are watching this and saw the section on the Sturmgewehr and when he said how could this have changed the war and couldn't visualize it. Think of the Saving Private Ryan movie when they are in the town with the paratroopers in the rain and the sergeant says he needs to take "this hitchhiker out of my boot" and sits down knocking over the board that knocks over the brick wall that reviels the German squad in the room. there are 8 germans 5 with kar 98k's and 3 with MP-40s (thats 5 bolt actions and 3 full autos) and the Americans with a BAR, a Thompson, a springfield, 2 carbines and 2 m1 garands (aiming anyway) only 2 are fully automatic, yes I understand that the M1 garand and M1 carbine are fire as fast as you pull the trigger, but thats no the point. well anyway imagine the 5 Germans with the Kar 98k's vision them with select fire Stg-44's with 30 or 25 rounds and all they needed to do is pull the triggers and let the lead fly. (Oh and before someone says "well 2 guys with Thompsons killed them all (well killed 5 and wounded 2 or 3), thats not the point its just a realistic visualization to the Stg-44's impact. Hope this was helpful.
Loving this series!
love the longer videos LAV way to go DAWG
Great Pod Cast as always !!! , B.A.R what a timeless classic , what a pleasure to watch her at work !
I love this series! Keep 'em coming!
What scope is that on the M82?
Edit: Nevermind, figured it out. Barrett BORS on a Leupold Mark 4 4.5-14.
what an awesome presentation, or show, or shall i call it program? doesn't matter, larry that's rly great the way you bring it, thank you for your efforts.
The BAR. Steve McQueen and the last scene of the Sand Pebbles . Great movie and great scene.
Always a pleasure to watch Vickers. The videos are top quality, Informative, and unique in many aspects. I would like to see something I think only a couple of videos on youtube have... A review on the SA80 or L85a2. Thanks
What the hell are those BAR gunshots 😂😂😂
That .30 caliber BAR was Clyde Barrow's favorite gun.
Wish I owned the one Clyde used, it would be cool.
Time for some P.T! Larry!
I freakin love tac tv!!! Ur the man dog! Haha
My brother-in-law took me hiking outside of Seoul. There is still many bunkers and pill boxes hidden along the countryside. I was also lucky enough to set foot in the DPRK while there. I have pictures on Walper Photo Archives Facebook page. (there is also a lot of other Korean Pictures) lets never forget the Korean War. Lets never forget that socialism and Communism lead to some of the worst dictatorships. I hope for reunification.
Like how they clipped in the 240 firing after he forgot to rack it back after reloading.
The M16A2 does not fire in full-auto. It instead has a 3rd burst-fire mode.
Excellent guys!!!
If Hitler had been Sturmtrupp and not a ordely and stretcher carrier , he would have understood the concept with the Stg earlier . If they had them before Russia campaign , things would have been different.
Thanks! It was a very good one!
this series is dope
awesome!!!!
this is awesome thanks !!!
Awesome stuff guys!
That was very entertaining & informative
Love the old west point art alphin clip of the bar Larry u know what I'm saying
Fallujah 2 Gleaming the Cube
All that action with it laying all over the place. Just pack a 6.5 Grendel with piggyback clips and a vest to carry clips and a side arm. Simlpe clean light weight and it gets the job done with out all the ammo boxes in 308 and 556. The 50 cal was a nice touch though.
There hasn't been a full auto M16 since the A1, the A3 isn't really used by any infantry units I know of. Didn't you spend episode 1 talking about the limitations of the M16 in room clearing?
Also, what about the M4? It is perfect for CBQ and was available to troops at the time.
at the time the m4 wasn't a common weapon issued to marines, and marines were the ones doing the fighting there, with the m16a2. that rifle was not perfect for room clearing and urban combat but it was best widely available option to the Marines at the time.
The situation present was If you had to choice which weapon. Meaning, what was available at the time. The M4 was available at the time so if you had the choice...that's the point.
I've seen plenty of Marines issued with M4s, not a lot and the M16A4 was already phasing out the A2s, even though it's pretty much the same weapon and still sucking in cqb.

You're a funny guy.
The M82 is NOT a sniper rifle, it is an anti material rifle adopted for removing IEDs and damaging light vehicles, not shooting precision shots at extreme distances because it is a semi automatic weapon and not a bolt action, a real sniper rifle would be the L115 AWM
Oorahhh
Marine Corps
helps to have you're scope cover off when shooting the .50 lmao
Then: an MG-42 and a good assistant gunner. Now: an MG-42 and a good assistant gunner. Lots of ammo in both cases.
I don’t have a .50 caliber or claymores. Lol
I like that full size M16 instead of popular short AR-15 like M4. It's like old good rock versus pop culture.
RaptorGP M4's are carbines you can still get 20" barrelled and rifle stock AR's but shorter rifles have become popular.
lefty lefty lefty!
Sturmgewehr would have not made a big change how things went down in WW2. Much more Tiger tanks with better quality, better and more anti-tank weapons and much more field artillery > some real change.
tiger tanks were a total waste of resources. how in the world can you possibly say that the sturmgewehr wouldn't have had a significant impact!? LOL!! the M1 garand enjoyed a massive impact with it's only advantage at the time being it was semi auto. the STG44 was leaps and bounds ahead of any other ww2 small arms. not to mention the change in tactics it would have brought, another overlooked game changer. I don't think you have any real combat experience if you don't understand the massive game changer that weapon would have been if implemented fully in 1942. the STG44 was the model for every infantry weapon to follow, and we still utilize all of it's new technology it introduced today.
indeed, no one can deny ww2 Germany revolutionized warfare and its still felt to this day. they were excellent warriors in all aspects. only to be defeated by significantly superior numbers, and even with those numbers were still an insanely tough nut to crack all the way to the bitter end of the war.
Tiger and panther tanks were a waste of resources, they cost too much time and resources to build. The mk4 was all the Germans needed.
had germany of fully implemented the MP43/44. they would of found the shortcomings early on fixed them and had a better rifle. a unit was completely surround by russian troops. they air dropped the sturmgewehrs and they shot their way out
That was a cool show!
8:16 "Battle Rifle" .-.
BAR!
that 20" love
interesting mix of weapons, an M16A1 and BAR
I'm with you guys. tell me what to do.
We had the GPMG for years you had the rubbish PIG M60 , you finally got the better gpmg 7.62mm .We don't call it the M240 , its the gimpy ..AMMO ..love it .1 in 5 tracer all day ..
well for all those who are wondering this aired in 2008 on FOX sports network so this channel has so few views and subs because most people who have seen this saw it before TH-cam was the mega Giant it is in 2016 when this was posted. Mind you when I type this its 2020 So while this was a quality program for its day. (I even watched this on FOX around the origional air dates) Finding it on youtube is pretty good Nastalgia for me. But something that has been viewed for years before being posted on TH-cam kinda hurts the view count. It does however expose this video to younger people or people who dont watch FOX Sports. So there is a purpose to this and stop being negative. Also this information is still good today and the only thing really dated is the video quality and how it was shot but then again my vids suck super hard and arent as good as this so who am I to critique?
Tactical slugs to gain range on the shotty.
Wish they had a love it button
This is for all the haters last episode!!! keep em going LAV! great series!
that moment when the gun sounds are fake as all fuck smh
does it matter? Nothing seems to record and playback gun sounds accurately anyways
M16 a2 iron sights as in video if I had only one choice for all around.
I would like to know your thoughts on the different DMR's that were used in the past M21/M25, SR25 and DMR,s of today MK14, M110, SCAR 17, etc. basically semi auto 30 cal DMR.
Thank you for your videos they are very interesting to watch.
these two guys look like as they were defending their beers and burgers against an invasion from of wholegrain cereals and dietary advisers. - do not use fire clean for cooking!
Terence Larry spent his full career in US Army Special Operations. Like many he occurred various injuries. Hard to stay in shape if you have back and joint issues plus aging makes it harder to do. Larry actual did a video where he explains how he put on weight.
He could put on another 50 lbs and still wup your ass in a gunfight, or a fist fight anyways, so fuck you and show some respect. I am sure you are an "ex Scout Sniper in Delta Ranger Team 6" or something but Larry Vickers has more training, experience and skills than you hands down and he is making a great living doing the things he loves to do. Dont hate him cause u ain't him...
The guy was in SFOD-D
Have they ever developed a drum magazine for the BAR???
Were did you get the A10s ?
4500 vs 113 in 9 days.. wtf
Siick
he's so young in this.
Damn im early! Great vid vic
you can't even have watched it, how do you know it's good?
Obviously you haven't discovered the secret of time travelling yet, LikeA
You make a pretty good point there m8.
Well this episode's like 8 years old now, and up on youtube somewhere else.
SGT Vickers .... you are a NO-GO this station .... that was an awful defense ..... SGM Cupitt please give SGT Vickers remedial training.
I like the glasses at 10:34 does anyone know brand and/or model?
Is Ak 47 design taken from stg German
You have what at your rear?
Just my two cents worth, although this is a great video, I highly doubt that a two man team can repel a "mass attack" of say, 40 people with just a few claymores, two assault rifles and a .50 cal anti-material rifle.
The two man team could be easily out gunned and out flanked by the enemy, IF they know basic fire-and-maneuver tactics.
The chances of survival would be increased if you have a third and fourth person manning a 81mm mortar and you position two machine guns, ambush-style, v-shape formation, which will basically create a wall of lead and mow down the enemy faster.
The claymores are good, but it would even be better if you have several C4 wired up at the designated kill zone.
Also, it would certainly more helpful if you have anti-armor weapons such as SMAW, AT-4 or JAVELIN.
Now for all the comments regarding the automatic fire of the M16A2
which episode of Walking Dead was this featured?
Any sensible opponent would have reconnaissance units, and would see where these two were, and their HQ would simply drop a few mortar rounds on their position, or radio their artillery to drop a handful of rounds on them, as for the vehicles, a .50 wouldn't be much good against amour, and you shoot at them with a .50, and they reply with a cannon. Either way Larry and his buddy would be toast and then dead. And as for the BAR, the Bren is a better weapon.
M16A2 is full-auto? Thought it had a 3-round burst.
I wonder what earpro Vickers wearing?
Ayeee
all these guns are in the original modern warfare
m16 a2 is semi or 3 round burst
the m16a2 did not have select fire it had 3 round burst the a3 went back to select fire
The barrett is the only successful semi automatic .50 sniper rifle ? What about the Accuracy international AS50 ?
this show was aired 6 years ago the as50 was only barely being produced at the time. and it still hasn't reached anywhere near the success of the barret
Ok, good to know, but why ? Because the AS50 Is far more expensive or because of a lack of perfomance compare to the barret ?
I can't say for sure but my best guess would be reputation cost would be another big one
Is everybody left handed?
rly a Bar xD
Ww1 and 2 man
12 year old spotted
no i commented at the begining and there i didn't knew that they take weapons from different timeperiods :D
I want to shoot a Barret!!! Best regards from France!
Cartoon movie?
Id drag that BAR out before I would my girlfriend. Of course I'd let her carry it if she was able...
