American Machine Guns of WW2

what is up you sexy youtube mother lovers we are back out at drive tanks the last time we were here you might remember we did a video talking about german machine guns of world war ii super fun video to film but this time we thought we needed something with a little bit more americana just a little more red white and blue flare so today we're going to be doing american machine guns of world war ii starting with the thompson the model 1928 thompson is an open bolt 45 acp submachine gun now open bolt means that it actually fires when the bolt is locked back and slams forward it's kind of like slam fire action so when the bolt is closed which is how you normally fire a weapon nothing happens but if you pull the ball to the rear it stays back until you pull the trigger releasing it firing around and so you just keep that trigger held down and it cycles through until you are out of shootie shoots super iconic weapon system the ergonomics nice big fat american grip wonderful pistol grip the stock itself definitely much more of a chin weld because if you got a cheek weld on it you'd be staring through the middle of the receiver but all in all especially with being 45 acp very fun very controllable machine going to shoot let's just go shoot it all right so we got our two crowds way down range attempt to introduce them to a little bit of freedom here let's go [Music] i didn't hit a damn thing that gun is a lot of fun so much fun i brought a second magazine going hot let's just hit the camera real quick we want to give a thank you to the people who brought us out to drive tanks in the first place to be able to film this video that's war planet online war planet online is a strategy game with a military base building element and 3d graphics players from all over the world can get together hone their tactics and coordinate their attacks all the action in this game takes place on an accurately depicted world map and all the units like tanks and helicopters are inspired by real-life military units it's a really cool and challenging strategy game so if you're really into tanks then this is the game for you we really appreciate them helping us make this video possible and they're willing to give you 3 000 tanks if you sign up using the link in the description and in the pin comment again big thanks to war planet online back to machine guns so the thompson is a well-made well-thought-out sub-machine gun next up on our list let's move to something that absolutely isn't the m3 grease gun it's an open bolt direct blowback 45 ac piece of machine gun except as you can tell this one was kind of made on the cheap whole body of the gun is basically stamped sheet metal all welded together cheek weld is non-existent sights are present grip ergonomics yes this one doesn't even have a charging handle in fact you just open the dust cover and you stick a finger in and that is your charging handle so it's a very simple gun i for one love these little pieces of [ __ ] because my great-grandfather carried one in the pacific and always talked about how great these things were so i like them but got a little bit of ammo for it so let's go shoot it all right get some ah like a sewing machine oh it's one of the things that make this uh makes this gun a lot of fun is the slow cyclic rate this thing just chugs along at its own pace so you know what we have another magazine gonna go ahead and put another one through it just because i like it round two ah super slow super smooth so the first two machine guns that we talked about were submachine guns just really light pistol caliber stuff close quarter combat but now it's time to move up to something a little heavier first let me tell you a joke 1944 three nazis walk into a bar this bad boy right here is the bar or the browning automatic rifle this thing is chambered in 30 odd six so it has significantly more oomph than anything we've talked about so far not traditionally something you think of as a light machine gun you know typically you think of something that's you know belt fed or something but this is what was technically used for the squad automatic weapon roll at that time 30.6 is typically something that we consider these days to be more of like a deer hunting caliber that's not what they thought back then so this one is fully automatic with 20 round magazines so let's go ahead and lay down some hate with it all right let's let her rip that is a lot of fun better be even more fun if we shot it standing all right let's give this a shot oh it took me for a little bit of a ride not too shabby barrel's probably getting toasty so as we keep moving up the list the next machine gun you might be thinking of is this right here this is the 1919 30 caliber machine gun but why would we waste time talking about this when we could just move straight to its bigger brother so this is the m2 heavy machine gun probably the iconic heavy machine gun the americans had during world war ii this is a fully automatic 50 bmg big boy we put them on planes we put them on boats we put them on tanks we put them on jeeps if we could figure out a way to have people carry them we probably would put them on people as well it's another great design by john moses browning that made it to the list and now we're gonna shoot it now that we have the belt loaded just charge it and we are live in three two one that one doesn't really get old [Music] well guys that was a lot of fun and just a reminder everything that i did today you guys can actually do at drive tanks love those guys we love coming out and we love to keep coming out so if you guys don't mind showing them some love over on instagram drive tanks we'd really appreciate it the more love you guys go and show them the more cool stuff we're allowed to come out and do so we appreciate it we appreciate it from those guys and uh yeah i hope this video was educational for you if it wasn't educational i hope it was at least entertaining that's about all i've got for you guys today so as always i'll see you sexy youtube mother lovers in the next video thanks [Music] that's [ __ ] ladybug won't get off my arm so the next machine gun you might be thinking about on our list moving up and along moving up and along that makes no sense so the first two machine guns we talked about were just submachine guns but now it's time to move to something a little heavier something that might fill the squad automatic weapon roll let me just that sounded awful the whole thing 1944 three nazis walk into a bar yeah i didn't think it was very funny either anyway this is the browning automatic rifle
