- During WWII, spider trenches, bunkers dug into the jungle, provided battle cover for the Japanese. These holes were highly effective in protecting soldiers from most U.S. weapons... except one.

Goddamnit I was expecting a spider-infested trench
I was too.
Yup
Same my dude
SunlightWalrus I was also Damn shame.
Same
Am I the only one who came here thinking it was a flamethrower vs a trench filled with spiders?
Edit. Thanks for the likes guys!
+Hefty Guy Yes.
+Hefty Guy lol yeah, was kinda disappointed that it wasn't.
+Hefty Guy no, i came here exactly for that. I'm not shitting you.
LOL. No I did too.
Lets ask them to make this happen.
ohh, i thought they were going to kill a big nest of spiders.
S.A. B omg same
Me too wow
You're not alone pal
S.A. B lol same as you
Omg Same!!
A spider trench sounds like Australia’s most advanced military technology.
lol
I thought it was a trench made by spiders to bait large prey in....
yeah fr bro and i wouldn’t be surprised if it was a real thing too
Wrong spiders, I was hoping for the real sort. Google AI got it wrong again.
leokimvideo ayyy... love your channel!
I was watching this video because i thought they would burn a bunch of spiders like you do XD only on bigger scale
Ayy
same
I love your red back vids!
That ain't a spider hole, it's a hole with branches on it!
Spider trench is a term used in the world wars meaning trench
You expected a username but it was I, meaning what trench lmao
"What do you mean its a sherman? It looks nothing like the man!" Thats how you sound
Branch hole

*branch* *hole*
My Dad fought in the Philippines during WW2. I remember him telling me that they also used the flamethrowers to flush out the Japanese soldiers hiding in caves. They would find an entrance to a cave with suspected Japanese soldiers in it and shoot the flamethrower in the entrance literally frying whatever was inside. He told me sometimes the poor Japanese soldiers would come running out of the cave completely on fire. He said it was awful, but he also said using the flamethrower beat having send troops into the cave to look for them.
Huh? Poor Japanese soldiers?
@@colderbeer the Japanese soldiers were just pawns for the elite and following orders. Same as any other soldier. I don't believe any living thing deserves to go through being lit on fire and burned to death. But, like my Dad used to say, it stopped the American soldiers from having to enter the caves themselves looking for them...
@DarkestSpyrro soldiers take orders regardless of the country, it was the people in charge that were f’d up
@DarkestSpyrro that's pretty messed up my dude. You're talking about real people, not some video game NPC. Death by fire is no way to go enemy or not.
bro and then they found no japanese soldiers, just burnt philippine villagers in here 💀
Smithsonian "it's brighter here" hahaha! It got a whole lot brighter in there too :D hahaha
One of the few times the outro music actually matched the content.
Haha flammenwerfer goes pshhhhhhhhh
The Smithsonian has and is actively suppressing archaeological sites everywhere. The collaborate with the Vatican to erase evidence of our true history. The nephalim lived among us.
Lol
And I gave you a like to 1k likes
I love how the Smithsonian shows more actual history shows than the HISTORY channel! Thanks Smithsonian:)
Are you saying you don't believe that everything was done for us by aliens!!!???
Kandi Klover we are not real
Acc0rd79 I swear that the History Channel had _Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides_ once. Madness.
complete with US TV-style over dramatisation!
To be honest TV documentaries whilst good for showing and spreading general information it is not good for deep learning check out Military History Visualised video on it
Disliked. I though this was about burning spiders
Spiders like this?

haha same
Ha me too!
That would make it better
Omer Gaming94 same but still enjoyable
I thought he was gonna burn a bunch of spiders. 😔
Just disliked it
Poor spiders

This just shows how lame the Flamethrowers in video games are!!
Ash Angel I have never heard "lame" and "flamethrower" in the same sentence before.
U mean flame
Well, trouble is, implementing the effects that make IRL flamethrowers so dangerous in a video game would make them extremely broken weapons. But yeah, vidya flamethrowers usually suck pretty badly. Short range, bad damage, and the enemies still charging at you full speed, despite being completely on fire. Probably the only such weapon I enjoy using is the heavy incinerator in Fallout, but then, that's more of a napalm launcher than a proper flamethrower (which also exists in the game, and predictably enough, it sucks). Funny thing is, FEAR 2 had a weapon that was almost exactly the same concept, and it was probably the single worst weapon in the entire game, it barely tickled enemies.
They're more like.... lamethrowers
PremierMilenkov The only good flamethrower in video games in my experience was the cod world at war flamethrower
My great granddad was a flamer. He used it overseas in WW2, he died when I was only like 8. He said he could never get the screaming and smell of burnt flesh out of his head, it just stuck with him up to the day he died. RIP Papaw Ed
thank you for your comment
Thank u for this comment my condolences go out to your grandfather
A flamer is a homosexual.😂 slang term
The Brits are just like:
"You call that a trench? that's barely a foxhole! gimme that shovel I'll show you how it's done."
Graphic shows a two-story bunker, with a 10 ft mound of coral sand, protecting 6 ft long firing ports, reinforced all around with logs.
Tractor digs a 4 foot deep hole, they throw some pine branches on top... "Nailed it!"
your trench and the diagram of the spider trench are very dissimilar...
+mangalores-x_x It takes time to make an exact replica and honestly it isn't necessary to show the effectiveness of the M2 flamethrower against spider trenches.
sure it does. one was a fortification covered by sand and reinforced with logs and intentionally small firing holes, this thing is a hole covered with dry wood.
It has nothing in common with each other to the point you can only conclude: Yes, a flame thrower throws flames! That could be handy for bunkers but we have none here so we randomly burn some wood over there.
I expect a bit more from something like the Smithonian Channel.
+mangalores-x_x Well when you got fresh wood, you're gonna need a second flamethrower
Yeah that was just to shade their trench.
The forgotten weapons video was much better and his flamethrower was entirely intact
Yeah! Original from WWII and Korean War, original pyrotechnics ignition and operated at real 380 psi. But it's still cool though firing any of these
And less obnoxious faux seriousness.
And here we are, reunited after 5 years, through the recommend tab.
One of the scariest things, is the distance it can reach.
I think everyone who clicked on this video thought that they will burn giant spiders in their nest.
Imagine waking up and being told “son put this portable bomb on your back and go walk through the jungle”
This is the most important reason why I don't consider these things "inhumane"; one good shot from distance and you're done. Risks are equal 50-50.
@@panagiotisg.6437 It's awkwardly big, makes you good target and one hit blows you up nevermind losing all chances of switching weapons in midfight. These things are good only to clean up the area after the battle. Never said it's a humane, I just said it's easy to counter.
"Did you ever strapped something highly explosive to your back?"
"No..."
"Do you want to?"
Yes
"So in gonna aim this at a 45° angle so no gasoline leeks on my hand..." *aims it -15°*
He actually held it correctly, at about a 45 degree angle. The idea is not to let it drip on your hands or on the system. Raising the flamethrower to a fixed 45 degree angle doesn't allow you to aim NOR does it stop the dripping. He had to turn the barrel 45 dg to the side so the dripping would not affect him. And he's shown doing that correctly.
THEY’RE COMIN’ OUT OF THE WALLS!”
“TORCH EM!”
2:00 "WHAT THE F-" *Tank explodes*
Absolutely appropriate for use against spiders as well.
Shout out to the camera man who risked his life to stay in the spider trench while the flamethrower was being shot at it ✌️
😂😂
99.99% of comments here about people who came here thinking it was gonna be a real trench of spiders.
I guess im part of the 99.99%
Make sure you yell "Flamethrower is now live!" before attacking an enemy position.
The U.S. Military need to bring back the flamethrower. The War in Afghanistan costed thousands of lives. The flamethrower would have saved so many Americans in Afghanistan.
for one thing i know even though i was never in the army, spider holes are cancer to deal with with normal weapons
Yup, I thought it was spiders for real. 😂
If the flames didn't get you, the oxygen depletion would.
This should be on Mythbusters.
Old Japanese Veteran: Ah yes, It is brighter when you're inside son.
titles are deceiving.....
NATH AN so much
Nah
How to survive in spider trench
1. Run away
2. Surrender
3. Be a camera
2:43
YEAH ITS A HELL OF A LOT BRIGHTER HERE
I was thinking that too
This is an accurate representation of me fighting a spider in my bathroom
Imagine being on a battlefield with basically an incendiary bomb strapped on your back while fighting the enemy and today people are upset about words hurting feelings.
people of back then and now still trying to ban video games calling them evil, just in a different way instead of it being satanic it's now if it's hateful or not
I just think it’s interesting how automatically my brain associated spider trench with flamethrower
*”Hans, Get Ze Flammenwerfer”*
Jawohl
Any one else when they see a spider: grabs shoe or paper towel
Me when I see a spider:
This is pretty creepy. I'm just imagining being in that trench.
Imagine the smells of half cook flesh
@@superkrazy9427 It would smell pretty good
@@moth8775 🤨
@@moth8775 it would smell like smoke
I was curious if anyone had taken a flamethrower to some pesky mosquito swarms, thought this was an actual trench full of spiders
My great grandpa did that he burned the japenese he didn't want to do it but he had to
Spider trench- "this deadly Japanese invention" - said guy with flamethrower
One problem though : It has an effective range of about 30 meters. While the Type 99 Arisaka rifle had an effective range of 400 meters and maximum of over 2 km.
And the Japanese targeted flame thrower teams if they could spot them in time.
It wasn’t to burn the Japanese soldiers’ but to suffocate them. Just remember the Japanese soldier was the most vicious enemy ever fought by the United States. Over One million Purple Hearts were made for the invasion of Japan.
2:22 I hope the camera was fine
I’d rather see this than thousands of spiders crawling out of the trench
Yeah my grandpa was in the Pacific
Part of the 32nd ID
He talked about how awful the Japanese bunkers were
He mentioned one day they were pinned down by one all day until he could successfully crawl all the way out of the bunkers field of fire behind some downed trees and eventually work his way crawling around the bunker until he could drop grenades in.
The flame thrower really changed things for our guys. Speeded up advances and saved lives.
guy in a bunker being in a flame: seriously?
jokes aside, war doesn't save life it harmed other's life imo
@@adiseagledostuff clearly War is not the ideal answer and often avoidable
@@StevenRecknagelMusic sad truth, hopefully no war is coming
Whose life? One being roasted alive is not human?
@@adiseagledostuff Well…..

also cartoon character: 2:17
Dis is me when I see a spider XD
Fuck off, asshole. Spiders are so amazing and cute.
They aren't cute, gonna hand it to ya, but they're hella useful.
I’m using that weapon in a zombie apocalypse.
Its so scary being a flamethrower person. One shot to the tank and you done
Actually, it doesn't explode like many believed. You'll still be a prime target carrying one, though.
Too much hollywood for you.
James Mackes but still even radiomen were a big Target
Henceforth, they made a backpack version. Every troop carries a standard kit on him.
When I read the title I thought the dude was taking a flamethrower to a spider, an actual spider and thought "little excessive buuuuuuut ok"
Hans GET ZE FLAMMENWERFER!
I like the part where the flamethrower was used.
actually the flame wasn't what killed people it was the carbon monoxide
Ken Nolan nope if they got out of the trench they got shot plus the troops can't avoid the flames except a few circumstances
Raziq Azrie Rohaimann no they could go lower into the spider trench that wasn't a accurate spider trench the could get into a situation where the wouldn't have to worry about flame but the carbon monoxide would kill you regardless
and then being burned to shit
RollOnToVictory but the flame would only go so far before being extinguished by lack of oxygen and that same lack of oxygen kills the soldiers
So if I'm running my ass around an open battlefield on fire, not getting shot or anything, I'm going to die from the carbon monoxide produced by the flames? You've got that somewhat wrong. If you're in an enclosed area like a building or a very compact spider hole/trench, you might die from the CO, but not in an open area. Your statement about the flames dying due to a lack of oxygen is the same even if you were to close the lid on a burning candle. But so long as their is oxygen and a source of fuel, the flames will keep going. Also, carbon monoxide is not heavier than air, so your statement about going deeper into the spider trench being useless is invalid because the CO doesn't go down to the ground. That's why during any fire inside a building, you want to stay low to the ground, because it's where the air is the most fresh and non-toxic.
Flamethrower guy gets home from a hard day throwing flame .
So , how was you day , Honey ?
Oh , you know ... the usual burning and screaming ... whats for dinner ?
What’s the whining about the title? If you didn’t knew what spider trenches are then it is you and you only to blame for your confusion.
What next - ‘head chef’ in video title and then expect to see a chef who cook heads?
They started a flame war
Who would win?
*>Big hole in the ground covered with strong branches and brush.*
*>One hot boi*
1:30 dude talking like he is going to drop an atomic bomb, its a flametrower, i can do that with a deodorant and a matchstick.
When I was-in graduate-school, one-of my roommates used-to go-after cockroaches with a can of deodorant and a cigarette-lighter.
When your disappointed that its not a flamethrower vs actual spiders
LOOK BOI I CAME HERE TO SEE SPIDERS GET MURDERED. REPORTED.
Hiden Iny xD
They flamethrower, went used in caves and tunnels, goes around corners. You wanna start a war?... then you get what you deserve.
What the police should have used defend the Minneapolis police station during the George Floyd protests on May 28th, 2020.
Sure bud, they should just use flamethrowers on civilians. You're not exactly making a good case for Blue Lives Matter folks not being proto-fascists.
People like my grandpa in the US Army destroy those spider traps in World War II they beat those B.O.W.'s
Mmmmm BBQ 🍗🍖
Tartendymion 54 Hanz, bring ze flammenwerfer
I eat ass
USS Iowa best american waifu :^)
Why was I expecting something straight outta the original King Kong. With soldiers fighting giant insects inside of a spider infested trench.
Charizard does it better, Yee
Who actually thought they were gonna see a trench full of spiders
Do you know what the M-97 Flamethrower sounds like, Ernie? It roars like a
dragon, a fiery god purging everything in it's path. Hold down the
trigger and the "woosh" drowns out everything else, focus on the noise
and you almost convince yourself you don't hear the screams. By the time
the tank is empty, everything is over, even the men are quiet. There's
nothing but the crackling of burning thatch.
You see Ernie, it's not the noise that keeps me awake at night, it's the silence.
Spiders: "Thank God They're Burning Each Other"
Japanese : Spider trench
Americans : 🎶Do you believe in magic....🎶
In this place, humans set fire to spiders. In Australia, spiders set you on fire
I swear, I thought this was a ditch or something filled with spiders, but then when I saw what it was, I thought it was a bunker filled with spiders.
I was expecting a cave full of spiders vs a Flamethrower.
I've now clicked this video 2 times thinking it was a video of a flamethrower vs a trench full of spiders
Oh yeah this is what i start building when I see a spider in my house
As disappointed as I am that I didn't see them burn a trench full of spiders, I am grateful that as far as I know, such a thing does not exist
I thought this was a flamethrower vs a spider home, but I leave this video happy that I learned something new!
I really thought those dislikes were from people pissed about you killing spiders
Very interesting, I just wish this was longer!
900+ dislikes from those who actually thought they were going to burn spiders.
I am but another wayward traveler brought here by the notion of a trench filled with spiders being incinerated via the great thrower of flames.......and was sorely misled.
I came here to watch spiders meet their demise by fire
Hefty Guy that's exactly what I thought I wasn't too disappointed with the video though.
People who use gas tanks and heavy gear:
Hahaha u can’t survive us
Me who mixes fire with hairspray:
Think again
Japanese dudes be pressing dislike button.
When you thought they were eradicating a bunch of spiders nest in the forest with fire
Elon musk: my flamethrowers are so GREAT!
Real flamethrower: pathetic
I thought at first it was going to be a KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS faceoff - man, that flamethrower go all out in slow-mo really is HOT!!!!
it's not the noise that keeps me awake at night. it's the silence.
I was expecting burning spiders but this is still kinda interesting
Loved that! need to see more WWII history here!
I was expecting burnt spiders
Alexa play despacito
Everybody: I thought they were going to burn a trench filled with spiders
I clicked on this expecting some guy melt a pit full of spiders with a flamethrower but this is cool as well I guess
The prerequisite is, that you have a flamethrower and are quicker than soldiers at detecting the spider trench than its residents are at detecting you. Since the flamethrower can only be used at short ranges, this method is essentially doomed to be ineffective against fortifications likewise to those.
