During the Civil war , did the Confederate have rifleman with a button R And were they sharpshooters

Just picked one up for $550 😁

I would love to have a replica of this.

Ask General Sedgwick....NOT used?

They had some experimental canteen pouches.

None of them were semi automatic?

No dual tube PVS-5s? Also Soviet have night vision devices.

Oh man those Ritchie boys where some hardcore dudes im sad they've let richie rot like it has but this presentation was awesome

What about the Applegate “Smatchet”?

USN Mark 1 and the Quartermasters cartugas 225Q would be cool additions. the Mark 1 was basically the M3 of the Navy and the 225Q was utility for none frontline army troops.

I've got a Smith & Wesson victory at my great-grandfather brought back from World War II. It was nickel-plated and from what I was told by my grandfather, the officer that gave it to my great grandfather said that it was his dress uniforms pistol. I'm not even sure it's ever been fired as the bluing is still on the hammer and I've always wondered what the value in it would be

Why the Gorilla tape?

I love my Saiga

The switch from 6.5 to 7.7 was due to the power but it is really an odd choice. The 6.5 was under pressured compared to all other rifle cartridges of the era. There’s little known as to why. Many speculate it was the propellant type or the heat exposure. There’s not a lot of evidence or information.

So when the Rough Riders went to Cuba, was wearing a blue top the result of supply issues or to identify easier as American troopers or both?

Threat was. the politically correct name for Soviet Union

Diana : 47, focus on the targets you don't have time to dancing around and compromising the mission. 47 : understood, continuing the mission.

Mine folds down on the side

The sound doesn't seem to be working right

For everyone wondering why they didn't mention certain Soviet kit it's because it's a secret and America didn't actually know about this stuff at the time!

Really great production, well filmed, written, maybe not the best acted, but they're not filming actors

Interesting design, a single vehicle could either transport or support troops.

That's not ERDL,that's what is referred to as Mitchell pattern.

But it's a public domain film why put water mark in the first place.

good video. feel free to drop some more knowledge on us!

From all that I have read, which has been extensive, I was under the impression the Liberator was made to air drop to villagers and others who had no guns to be a one-time use gun in case the enemy came into their village. That way they could kill an enemy soldier and acquire his much better gun. That was the reason for the stamped metal construction as they were not made to last past their one job. Love the videos!

SMLE stands for Short, Magazine Lee Enfield not short model lee Enfield Mk1 1904 Mk3 1907 Mk3* 1916 SMLE Mk2 and Mk 4 were conversions of the 1890s Lee Metford and Lee Enfield ( long lees)

Holy crap! Dude, keep your fricking fingers off the muzzle of the weapon! I can't even finish watching this.

Very nice bibliography on handguns, some of THE BEST authorities on the subject!! Thank you for sharing this compilation!!😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

Excellent reference examples for collectors here! I certainly learned a lot. Thanks again!

@History Collectors Forum Does anyone have any information of 1903 Springfield rifles with scrap bin barrels installed instead of a regular barrel?

Wow so nice

Awesome job!

My 1897 takedown was issued to the US Marshalls service, some time in the 1950s. When I was cleaning It I removed the butt plate and found an old onion skin paper letter, in an envelope dated dec 7 1961, with the department of justice letter head stamp. It has the heat shild and bayonet lug for the ww2 18" bayonets. And an origional leather millitary sling, which has got red leather rot, so I removed it, And replaced it with a new military leather sling but have kept the origional Anyone got any information on that?

Welp, looks like the T-62 is back in action... 60 years later lmfao

They ever have these shows in MN

As usual here, an incredible amount of otherwise hard-to-find and valuable information about an interesting niche topic of militaria collecting. Thanks!

My father was a staff sergeant in the 1st Special Service Force. I still have his V-42 stiletto, uniform & other items from his time with this group. He passed away 09/07/2001. He was proud to have been a part of Force.

6:55 In the context of scounting, it is extordinarily unlikely that the officer would know or be allowed to say or write the word “Spetsnaz.” At this point in history, the very EXISTENCE of Warsaw Pact special operators was highly classified, and their special operators were not allowed to wear anything like Western qualification badges. “Spetsnaz” is a very generic Russian-language acronym that simply means "special-purpose forces," conveying minimal information. This ambiguity means that the term can refer to various entities, ranging from military railway maintenance technicians to SWAT-like units, riot squads, and formations similar to the special response units and site security forces of US agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Department of State, Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of Prisons, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Marshals Service, Secret Service, Central Intelligence Agency, Drug Enforcement Administration, Department of Energy, National Security Agency, and others. For example, the special missions unit of the Russian tax police is considered a spetsnaz unit. Contrary to popular belief, the term is not limited to military commando formations and does not imply anything about the experience level of the operatives, nor the presence or absence of conscripts in the formation. Additionally, the term is often used for similar formations in former Soviet states. The use of the term does not indicate whether a unit is comparable to commando forces in the West and elsewhere - some are, while others are not.

Congratulations. On Soviet SKSs this guy guessed 10% of historical facts. 90% is made up horse crap.

I just stumbled across this video and I have a WW2 marine canteen that was marked up just like the canteen cup. Has the guys name, the ships he was on, the battles he was in, and a couple women's names.
