@@santamanone Yeah but a lot of soldiers preferred the M1 Carbine over the heavier calibers because they can carry more ammo. Trust me as a Marine myself that was in from 2000 until 06 I always had 21 magazines with me of 5.56 on my belt & carrier
@@-RONNIE exactly. It was popular and I wish I had one. But they really noticed its shortcomings in Korea when the heavy winter clothing the enemy wore reduced (and in some cases stopped) it. If you wanted 21 magazines of 5.56 imagine how much you’d need of 30 carbine. 5.56 is really a decent caliber but it’s not the “high power” that the media claims.
@@santamanone no I carried it 21 mags sometimes 22 or 23 I never wanted to run out of ammunition I hardly ever took my rifle off of semi-automatic maybe three round burst if I want to lay down some suppress a fire I never put it on fully automatic. I agree I would like to have one too or a newer version of it. I do have a Springfield M14 Sage EBR that I absolutely love that's 1 of 3 rifles I have in 308
David carbinewilliams had little do with the m1 carbine apart Ron be ING in the employ of the company wh o came up with it. He worked on the war rifle which was never adopted.
Correct, it is the M18 57mm recoilless rifle, developed because the bazooka was not effective against medium and heavy armor. One of the projectiles shown was a rifle grenade, not a bazooka round. Careless mistakes can cause one to doubt the validity of what can otherwise be a good source of information.
Very well done 😮salute to the ww2 vets thanks for service 😮, I remember knowing a former submariner 😮a very nice 👍🏻 person , I would always make time to listen to his stories 😮out respect 😮the golden generation
1:58 The two small machetes on the right are from aircraft survival kits. I have both of them and the medics knife on the left. Really good steel and razor sharp.
My Dad fought in the Korean War and he swore by it. The M-1 Garand would fire in any weather under any condition; that is in dirt, mud or snow. However, the United States Military went to Korea with the WWII 2.36 Bazooka and it was worthless against the T-34 tank and the US Army did not learn this lesson because the 2.36 Bazooka was worthless against heavier German tanks in late WWII. Is sad that the Army did not learn it's lesson from late war experiences.
Isn't it strange that according to 'See U in History...' these American weapons had so few drawbacks or faults compared to the weapons of Britain, Germany. Italy etc. If I were a sceptic I might think that the channel was American.
These were all good weapons. Nothing wrong with any of them. Other Nations used different weapons - but that's what they were - different - not better. An example would be the MG-42. This weapon, as described by a German WWII MG-42 Gunner, was intended to be a like a long range shot gun. It was intentionally a little bit inaccurate - so that if you fired a 3 round burst - it would spread the rounds out a little - to giver you a better chance of getting a hit. To do that - it had a high cyclic rate. This led to it running through it's ammunition rapidly. It had a Quick Change Barrel - but - because it was a light barrel you HAD to change it. The M1919 - had the rate of fire that the Army WANTED it to have. The version of this weapon that was used as a tail gun on dive bombers had a much higher rate of fire. Here - you had an Airplane to carry the ammunition for it whereas you had to have people carry the Ammunition for an MG-42 - and several of them. The M1919 could have the barrel changed in about a minute - so it's not like it took a really long time - but it wasn't in seconds like the Quick Change Barrels. The thing was - it had a Heavy Barrel - that didn't heat up as much so it didn't NEED to be changed as often as the Quick Change Barrels. Also - the M1919 came with this little tripod - instead of the monstrosity the Germans used for the MG-42 - or - a bipod. This little Tripod was better than either of these for flexibility and ease of use. You have a lot of people who think the MG-42 was better than the 1919 - but it wasn't. It was just different. .
The blades you show against the Kabar are machetes and bayonets not knives. The first knives were hunting knives of all makes and designs. Some were produced in army base workshops. The M1 carbine was approved October of 1941. The chief of infantry requested a light rifle in 1938 but had no formal requirements so it went nowhere. That came about in 1940.
The M1 Garand is the one weapon US soldiers had that was superior to any other combatant nation’s rifle simply because it was semi automatic and all the other nations had bolt action rifles
No way am I an arms or WWII expert but I'm pretty sure the weapon at 4:42 mark is NOT a bazooka but a recoiless rifle. Possibly the 57 mm variant. Two big give aways, the flare breech lock to the rear and perforated cartidge held by the loader.
It isn't a term used by gun manufacturers. It is however a term used regularly in political and legal discourse for over 30 years and generally refers to semi-automatic pistols, rifles or shotguns that are able to accept detachable magazines. According to US federal law and the laws of several states assault weapons exist.
@@davidkinsey8657 you missed my point. There’s no sauce thing as an “assault” weapon. We never used that term in the 21+ years I was in the military nor in the 13+ years I was a cop. It’s a made up word for the anti 2A jackasses. And my 40 year old deer rifle is a semi-auto with a detachable magazine. It’s also a much, much, much more powerful caliber than an AR-15. That’s been common for over a century.

The M1 Garand was the best rifle of WW2. Having a semi automatic rifle compared to every one else with a bolt action was a big game changer.
Svt 40
und echt ein wirklicher Vorteil allen anderen gegenüber.
@alaindaubresse2161 The Russians made more of the Mosin-Nagant bolt action rifle when compared too the SVT 40 Friend Fact!#&uesed them!
SMLE or FN FAL
It shud had detachable 20 30 round magazine n then wud hv been deadly
Amazing Weapon's History as Always.
The Thompson M1A1, M1 Carbine, Colt 1911, Ka-Bar & The BAR are all great weapons
Kinda. The M1 Carbine is a bit anemic caliber.
@@santamanone Yeah but a lot of soldiers preferred the M1 Carbine over the heavier calibers because they can carry more ammo. Trust me as a Marine myself that was in from 2000 until 06 I always had 21 magazines with me of 5.56 on my belt & carrier

My grandfather was the the type of person who never threw anything away
He died in World war ll holding on to a hand grenade.
People don’t realize how heavy these weapons are to carry around.
Yeah, you literally mentioned all amo & weapons during the
WW II.
Thank q. 🌹🌻💙
M2 ?
@4:36 I believe this is a recoilless rifle shown, not a bazooka

The greater parts of American history
If you consider war crimes against civilian populations and disarmed POWs "great"
Fantastic!
I know of all these guns because I used to play a game called Day of Defeat, counter-strike's less popular brother. Games are educational 😅
What about the M3 Grease gun?
There are to many guns
Ironic to see the picture of the Germans using the M1919! They knew what agood machine gun it was as well
wow that's was amazing i love that this brother aye very very cool (this's war the survival is your responsibility) hahaha i go it remember that.
❤🤍💙 all your videos mate👍

Just enough wrong to seem right.
It’s not a on block clip. It’s a a enbloc clip
bloc
También fueron usados los fusibles Springfield y Johnson y la ametralladora Johnson, el revolver Colt .45 modelo 1917 y el subfusil M3 .
Not VAR. it’s the BAR.
The semiauto garrand should have been used by our Australians jungle combat where closerange fighting necessitated fast reload action.
My Dad fought in the Korean War and he swore by it. The M-1 Garand would fire in any weather under any condition; that is in dirt, mud or snow. However, the United States Military went to Korea with the WWII 2.36 Bazooka and it was worthless against the T-34 tank and the US Army did not learn this lesson because the 2.36 Bazooka was worthless against heavier German tanks in late WWII. Is sad that the Army did not learn it's lesson from late war experiences.
I think it's really crazy that amy had the M1 Grand so early, it was really pretty nice in its time, compared to what all other nations had.
Isn't it strange that according to 'See U in History...' these American weapons had so few drawbacks or faults compared to the weapons of Britain, Germany. Italy etc. If I were a sceptic I might think that the channel was American.

You left out the M2. It is still in use today!
VAR? Thats BAR!

Where's the M3A1 Grease Gun? We still had them in West Germany in the 1970s! I'd check one out when on driving duties.......Fun to shoot!
The M1 Garand is the one weapon US soldiers had that was superior to any other combatant nation’s rifle simply because it was semi automatic and all the other nations had bolt action rifles
Not all images pertain to the weapon being discussed, there was a recoiless gun used in the bazooka bit.
Le garand extra la Thompson nulle
La photo de paras allemands avec la mitrailleuse de calibre 30...

You are absolutely correct. A good quarter to 3rd of the photos aren’t historically accurate
Thompson was the best
M2 50bmg is still great
FTo hades with you
Actually there’s no such animal as an “assault weapon.”
