Don't believe this stuff, lad. These are extreme myths spread about the first world war.

MG has a range advantage.

Any opponent you would have on the battlefield are canons that would have simular range. So you would be able to clear the field before they could get to you until they shot at you with their cannons

We freeing the Enslaved people with this one
If this video is anything to go by it’s more like we’re keeping our farm tools with this one.
@@My10thAccountGLORY TO DA SOUT!!!
David Attenborough really said " gun go brrrrrrrrrrttttttt "
"Hi guys , and in todays video , we will be recreating D-day in 1861"
''what if you had an F-16 in the civil war''💀
Everyone Starts Aiming at THE biggest threat
Then you free up the rest of your army because now the Enemy army is focused elsewhere.
@@silverhawkscape2677for what? 30 seconds before someone throws a grenade? Or you had to stop firing for cover?
@@kv4648
Before someone throws a grenade my ass the enemy won't even get close enough to shoot their guns before being absolutely ripped apart by the MG42.
Also the moment an MG42 starts firing it will scare the living daylights out of the enemy.
Because you can't even see the enemy yet and your men are just dying around you.
THAT'S LITERALLY WHY AN MG42 WILL WIN IN ANY CIVIL WAR BATTLE.

“The sharps rifle is peak technology!we can fire 20 shots a minute!”
*a goddamn mg42*:i can fire 20 shots a second
*confused rebel whimper*
Then they hear that metalic click of an empty gun then charge that machine gunner making ground beef out of him

What game is this from?
I'm asking the same question!
@@freddyfazbear1949same question
I need an answer!
Rising Front
Counter Strike 2
it's definitely telling about who and what you are by looking at the video seeing which side you gave the gun to
Well yeah, we can't show them gunning down bad guys.
"because guns go BBBRRRRRRRRRRR"
Time traveler stepped on a twig 😂
There are so many voice recordings of this man that even a bad AI can make it sound right.
I just spit out and somehow sneezed out chunks of a peanut butter sandwich... cleaning it up snd still laughing.
"David Attenborough": - Gun go BRRRRRR
My beard: *Grows its own beard*
A-10: brrrrrrrt
Hitlers buzzsaw, very appropriately named with that rate of fire.
One of those machine guns would be devastating… at first, but then union artillery would just focus fire on you until you were a smear on the ground
Next video: “what happens if you have a MQ-9 Reaper Drone in the Civil War?”
“because gun go brrrrrrtttttt”
Bro is David Attenborough💀
Bro that me thinking a machine gun be “BRHHHHHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
Fun fact, this kind of scenario often happen after world War 2 when allied forces trying to retake colony that Japan taken from them. A lot of those colony often don't have a lot of weapons, so a lot of them are making sharp stick and makeshift weapon.
Bro that's like asking "what if Napoleon had 2 B-52s at Waterloo?"
An author named Harry Turtledove wrote a book series I think called, “guns of the south” about a time traveller who somehow got machine guns back to the civil war.
The David Attenborough voice fits perfectly.
Having a David Attenborough impersonator or AI read this was too funny 😂😂😂
This is better than his usual documentaries.
“what if you had an ICBM during the Civil War”
May as well carry a large neon sign that says “aim artillery here”
MG42 even change the tide of war in it's invention, civil war stand no chance 🤠
"Because gun go BRRRRRTTTTT!"
I love how you fought on the right side
i love it when me gun go
BRRRRRRRRRRR for 9 seconds and run out because i was using an smg with a drum mag
It's pretty simplistic. The logistics aside it would change the face of warfare as armies adjusted to this new way of waging war.
lmao i'd love to see a take on the a10 warthog in the civil war
What would happen if one MG42 vs 300 Spartans ' gun go brrrr 😅
Brrrrrrrrr is like the funniest part about the video😂😂😂
Imagine Picket's Charge.
Now imagine Picket's Charge if the Union troops had a Gatling Gun nearby.
"Objective has been changed"
"Raid and take down that one Behemoth immediately"
