Bolt action military rifles are the most fun one fan have with a firearm. Working the action, the recoil, the sound and smell. These old rifles are an absolute blast to shoot. Literally

@jamesoverholt878

I'm guessing because of the weight and the way the barrel was moving when she pulled the trigger, she bounced her shot off the ground 6 ft in front of her target. That would cause a wry smile from me. 🙃

There is something I love about Bolt action Rifles.

+Accostrophe Mae has plenty of hours behind the bolt. She just doesn't have the upper body strength to reliably cycle EVERY old action so we settled on getting a standard shot of the ejection across all guns (except straight pulls) to standardize our setup. The 88's especially were binding on loading so she's applying roughly 30 lbs of force on those suckers as it is.

+C&Rsenal Makes sense, forgive my criticisms then. I meant nothing mean by it, Mae looks to be a fine shooter. I know how much force it takes to load those things as I have a few 88's myself, not to mention it's a pretty stout cartridge. I just usually see that kind of reaction with newer shooters, or ones who aren't super comfortable around those big bore rifles, I just sometimes forget that not everyone has the upper body strength it takes to man-handle those things. It does take A LOT of times to get used to them, hell it took me at least a few years before I could properly handle big rifles like that. I love your videos and do enjoy watching Mae shoot. Keep up the great work.

As a side note on the 98AZ, after the war when Poland gained its independence from Russia and Germany the Polish Govt copied the Mauser 98AZ at their armories.

Yay, Othais and Mae are back with more guns! Looking forward to seeing Britain, I've always loved the Enfield rifles, and as a Canadian, I'd love to see the Ross rifle as well.

that's right, but you would still pronounce the word "gewehr" as ge-ver

Mauser designed his 98 rifle to withstand a pressure of 100,000 lbs psi The bolt design is still used today on the more exspensive and powerfull rifles. Very accurate, but as with all German designs was built with very close fitting parts, which unlike the 10 rd Lee Enfields did not need much dirt and mud to jam it. It's cock on opening and long bolt made it's rate of fire also slower. It made a wonderful sniper rifle though.

The 98 Action and the 3rd "safety" lug was added to the read of the bolt. Seldom needed but if the bore was obstructed it may well save you from having the bolt come back and strike your face. My personal collection includes "commission 88/14" rifle is one of the Turkish. There is a debate between shooters of the commission rifles here in the US as to using full power 7.92x57 IS ammunition as the bore of the 88 was nominal diameter .318inch and the 98 .323inch. Due to this many american ammunition makers use a .320inch bullet for the 8mm Mauser. Hand loaders will often use a cast lead bullet as seen in the video (often .321inch) at a lower pressure. Indy since you are in Sweden it might interest you that the Mauser company designed the primary rifle for Sweden as well ,the Model of 1894 Carbine and Model 1896 Rifle. They were produced by Mauser as well as Carl Gustafs and Husqvarna Vapenfabriks they are excellent rifles. My "match" rifle is a 1914 production M-1896 with fully adjustable rear sight. 1896 and 1894 are chambered in the 6.5x55 cartridge and is still a popular round for hunting in Europe and to a lesser extent in the United States to this day.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Mauser I am really enjoying the series.

I have a Erfurt 1917 Kar98az. It is a truly amazing rifle! Mine has a unit disc that is now illegible however I was told that they were never issued with one. Only with the hole through the stock to allow for disassembly of the bolt. I was told mine was slapped on later by somebody who didnt know any better and plugged up the hole. Makes sense because it was also modified to take a Lee enfield butt plate which I am not very happy about and on the the hunt for the plate that belongs to the rifle. Its a shame that its the only part that does not match, everything else is numbered and matched right down to the firing pin. Love your shows, keep them coming!

You would have to commission a gunsmith to make or adapt a left-handed weapon for you. In WW1, British officers purchased their own personal weapons, but the cost was normally a bit high for other ranks. I think, for trench warfare, a sawn-off shotgun would have been the most useful firearm to have! Perhaps some other ranks from bank-robbing backgrounds did so equip themselves. Had I been their officer, I would not have prevented it, I would have asked if they could get me one! However, although you might be left-handed, you might not be left-eyed. If this is the case, you may get better results shooting in the same way as a right-handed person. As a left-hander, if likely to need to fire prone, you would always be placed on the right of the unit: your legs would stick out the wrong way.

+Michael Black Actually, no, these are much quicker to load than modern guns are. You only have to load 5 cartridges (10 when it comes to the Enfield), into the magazine. Not 30+ like an AK or M4/16 variant. And chambering and cartridge, and firing can be even quicker, since there's one less step in motions you have to do with your hand, than an AK or M4/M16.

+The Devil They're only "faster" to reload if you're using loose ammunition to load the box magazine, empty it, then reload it again using loose ammunition. Generally speaking, for a battle load out soldiers usually have 10 or so pre-loaded magazines on hand and aren't spending their time in the middle of a firefight reloading empty mags. And it's quicker to use a pre-loaded box mag than a stripper clip. Also, you can load box magazines using stripper clips, or stripper clip-like tools.

I'm assuming Mae's shots are fantastic as always! Great vids!

Jay Ray Finding them in WW1 condition (not refitted for later service) is actually quite a challenge. And you need to remember that he needs them all at the same time for filming and doesn't want to go bankrupt in the process. So have some mercy with us, there will be an episode in the future. Besides, if you are interested in the ross rifle, Othais covered that extensively on his channel. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZKl7u7WKj5Cserg.html

The Great War thank you for your reply. i look forward to that episode. that being said, i still do not believe that collecting british weapons, ww1 condition or not, is harder than collecting the weapons of the other major powers. lee enfield 303. webley revolver. p14. I live in a rural town in Australia. we have very tight gun laws, yet i have seen all these guns on the range. othais has pistols that were from a production of less than 1000. the dude can but a 303, webley and p14 for less than $2000, but i can see from his videos he already has a lee enfield and p14 on his wall. a webley would not be that hard to get.

The real problem is that Britain effectively destroyed most of their WW1-era Enfields and Webleys during WW2 by retrofitting them for continued service. Both of those weapons were used through to the 1950s. (Heck, you can still find "new" ones being made today for active service in some parts of the world, notably former colonies.) Unmodified early models can be hard to find and are sometimes necessary to show "features" that were replaced later. Also, remember that you're in Australia, which used Webleys and Enfields for years. Here in America, it's much easier to find Colts and Garands. It's the same reason M16-style and AK47-style rifles are common in different parts of the world.

Great channel theme!

I have 2 of these. one feom 1917 and one from 1918. Things shoot amazingly for being 100 years old. And kick pretty hard too.

Funny comparing this to the battlefield 1 weapons xD

is that the rifle that killed Harambe?

@iamtotallynotanenemyspy1200

6 жыл бұрын

They probably were hand guns, or American submachine guns. R.I.P. Harambe.

Rommel in his book "Infantry Battles", mentions the carbine carried by his mountain troops in the Italian campaign. He notes that the muzzle blast is substantial and the recoil sharp. But the men liked the carbine.

That lady seems to be having A LOT of fun. Always shooting with a big smile on her face

I'd like to see some videos showing play-by-plays of battles! You could have graphics and such showing the lines, the tactics used, etc. That'd be really awesome, I think.

I understand that C&Rsenal are trying to organize getting in touch and film with a collector of WW1 era machine-guns and that's proving quite expensive and difficult, but I look forward to it! My only request is that these videos be a bit more of a to-and-fro between Indy & Flo and Lothias and May. I don't know how much of a Q&A it can realistically be, but I enjoyed the episode about French pistols and watching Indy and Flo's reaction to the ridiculousness of problems involved.

+Rockyblack smith A big part of that is the over thick reproduction clip unfortunately.

Mauser weapons are still one of the main hunting rifles in Austria besides Steyr weapons. Sometimes even such historical ones like those in the videos. They kind of had to use every kind of weapon after WW II since most of them got confiscated by the allies. So those kind of hunting rifles are still mostly used out of tradition. (new designs mostly look very similar to the old war weapons, besides carvings to make them a bit more beautiful)

Hi, great show ! Could you guys shoot the various guns at balistic gel so we can get an idea of how powerfull/destructive they were? thanks

@Candrsenal

+xavier barnouin Unfortunately gel isn't a good fit for these rifles as we are not using original ammunition. Changes in powder, bullet material, shape, etc... they all factor more than just the measurements. Since we can't recreate identical jacketed rounds etc. a comparison would be for show only with little substance. We're trying to avoid anything misleading.

#The Great War Thanks for the show really enjoy it, I have 1 Question can you do a South America special? (Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Brazi etc, etc.)

Someone please tell Indy: it's C-and-R-senal. C-and-Arsenal. C&R stands for Curio and Relic, and American legal classification of firearms.

Hello! Having a personal interest in studying The Great War, I saw this video and heard of some very unique rifles used by the Swiss army throughout the war. The one I saw specifically online being called as Schmitt and Rubin with a pull action. Could you please if possible look into it with a video like with your ones on French and German rifles. Thanks for reading!
