10:35 is my question. I saw people asking some big "what if" questions so I figured I'd ask about the G11, since we know how it ended, but maybe where it could have gone. Thanks for the answer

Steven Taylor

I never gave much thought to it, but i guess the whole thing with the G11 and more importantly caseless ammo is very reminiscent of the NSGW program. Just call the M7 rifle the M17 and this new M-8 short version of the M7 the M5 Carbine since that would be correct

David T Klein

I have long wondered why the Vector. It always seemed bizarre to me. Now I understand, it’s for the Elbonians. Thank you, wise Historical Gun Jesus.

39:00 I've seen videos of 5.45 duplex and triplex ammo being manufactured in Ukraine by both sides as anti drone ammunition. So uses exist at least in niche roles.

Terry

Having the time stamps with links would be nice.

Terry

On YouTube they are. Here, the only hot links are to the various videos, not to the timestamps.

I imagine the best way to hobble military training is just the same as any other professional training: Replace all manuals, documentation, and any interactive or practical instruction with links to poorly narrated videos. Bonus Elboni-points if the content in the videos is several versions out-of-date because it's "still close enough" to cut yet more costs by not updating them.

10:00 A modern resource on the difference between the M2 and AN M2 might be the Soaring bythe Sea Foundation in Eugene Oregon. https://www.soaringbythesea.com/ They have a flyable P-40N with functional wing mounted 50's. I've seen the demonstration and it's pretty cool.

Ryan C.S.

lol I didn't consider that, but sure, though it may depend on exactly how your organization calculates costs.

Stuart Morrow

Duplex .22 TCM would be cool. Flechettes could be hollow tubes for shooting out tyres or self-sealing fuel tanks (a use for coil guns? You wouldn't need the sabot).

Guido S

on the risc repeating it to death and eternity. is the m7/m8 THE most scandolous lousiest poor turn they have ever took or... - elbonian handgun a blow FORWARD pistol. or a g18 with NO training - elbonian smg some subcompact ingram micro uzi thing with an even higher rate and a 15rd magazin because that is so compact.- if the commies would have had sks in korea.. maybe not the outcome of a war but you tell average joe on the ground again a rifle doesn't make any difference. facing a mosin or going against a sks with a m1 or no4 it seems it does. - guber would have brought shotguns. auto 5s and rather luger than c96s with stocks? snail drums weren't out in 1908 I'm afraid or hardly in numbers at least.

David Lane

Next obscure French question: The internet tells me that when the PAMAS slides started breaking because of the tellerium, they sourced replacement slides from Beretta. Have you ever seen this and/or have pictures of the markings? Thanks!
