I really like all of the context you give to each gun design. The company history, designer bio, military trials and adoption, etc.. It's one thing to just make a "review" of the gun, and many gun channels stop there, but you guys really go the extra mile and teach the history of firearms. Reminds me of the old "tales of the gun" documentary series I used to watch as a kid, back when history channel was a channel about history.

@TitusCastiglione1503

That time seems like a distant memory now

What I really like about these rifles is the magazine system. While it was a compromise from what Mannlicher originally wanted, it works. Also when the clip falls from the magazine. it acts as a warning to the shooter that they are on the last cartridge BEFORE you pull the trigger. In the chaos of war things like this helps you keep your composure for continuing to fire and replace magazines. It also doesn't fly up with a loud "ping" like the M1 Garand, which can alert nearby enemies that you are changing magazines. Great video as always.

@ItsBodin

7 жыл бұрын

Robert Neal seeing a silent clip falling from your rifle during a battle isnt going to happen due to the fact your aiming down sight and the rifle will block that view. During the time of the M1 war was so chaotic that that little ping sound would be the last thing you hear because you know screaming gun shots artillery.

Discovered your channel a few days ago. As an Austrian who is mostly into hunting with classic rifles (especially Mannlicher-Schönauers) but also has great interest in history of firearms and WWI, I must say your research and knowledge is awesome. I knew about all these guns and names but not in that depth and context. Thank you for doing this, keep up the great work. Not sure if you knew this, "Schritt" means "step" or "pace", in this particular case it means "footstep". An Austrian Schritt equals to 0,8 meter, I don´t think it has anything to do with the anglo-american imperial system. It´s an old unit mostly used by the military. (And up to this day sometimes hunters use it to describe an estimated distance, for example saying: "I shot that deer at a distance of about 100 steps".)

These have been my favorite looking rifles and I've wanted to learn much more about them. Thank you for putting this out.

You two are a great team! Also treated the country where I was born with respect (not everyone does) ....you didn't mention that the Austrian K.u.K army was considered an "operetta army" by the huns to the north. Anyway, I watched the whole thing beginning to end and never felt bored! At some points in my life I was sniffing around the thought of acquiring a Steyr Mannlicher rifle...but then what? having it hanging there? I was in the Austrian military and didn't like it that much.... By the way you might perhaps mention that the Steiermark....the province where they were made has a steel making tradition that reaches back into ..well the iron age. The first higher quantity steel production for swords, tools and armor in the middle ages took place there due to the local very suitable iron ore deposits. Thanks again! Great video!!!

It is interesting that the original Mannlicher straight-pull was a wedge lock. Did James Paris Lee use the same idea in his Winchester-Lee straight pull? His wedge lock was extremely strong, being able to with-stand cartridges of 60,000 psi.
