WWI Weapons Still Used 2022

[Ura-Ki]

Some day, the History books might make mention of all the "Old" huntin Rifles those damn "Merican's used to win back their freedoms! Which of them will be the most highly sought after I wonder?

In Bosnia, we found cashe's of Mauser's as well as Mosin's, and lots of old arse AK's and SKS's!
Same as in Iraq and Asganastan!

The M2 machine gun or Browning .50 caliber machine gun (informally, "Ma Deuce"[11]​[12]​) is a heavy machine gun that was designed towards the end of World War I by John Browning

Seen in DAILY use in Ukraine!!!

Well, I've seen WW1 and 2 Maxim MGs with wheels and shields. As they are 7.52x54R like most other russian MGs and LSW they will do the job.

Why would you bring a sword to a F35 fight?

Headless pilots can't fly for beans

We have to use crayons and coloring books, as that is the only form of written communication the Army can understand.

I rest my case!

Germans used a similar system in WW2 - look up Tiger Fibel.

As a side note, I remember a game called "War". My friend had it in the early 70's. Seems pretty similar to the game being promoted at the start of the vid. Anyone else remember it?

May be picking nits, but he specifically mentions the SMLE No1 MKIII, but then shows a No4 MKI when illustrating the use of stripper clips and the Sniper (No4MK1T) most certainly was not a No1MKIII, then shows a 1911-A1 while saying M1911, only later to mention M1911-A1, and does something similar with the M1903/M1903-A3 and A4.

I get his point, but shouldn't he be more technically correct if trying to be technical?

Nice video, none the less.

I remember those VN-era comics... I may still have 1 or 2 in my library someplace... I thought that they were kinda stupid..

Uh, you do know those were Vietnam war era during the draft which ended decades ago?

On subject, my dad's .45-70 trapdoor Springfield had a prominent place of honor in our living room and the 30-06 Springfield kept us in Pokonos venison each winter.
