Being the smallest branch with the smallest budget of the DoD means we’ve gotta do more with less. Marines have a pretty innate ability to Frankenstein stuff to work. I remember my SGT telling a story about how he was in charge of 20 Humvees for his section, and all were deadlined (unable to operate) except for one. But that one couldn’t be driven cause it didn’t have a canvas (short explanation; it was like an essential piece to have for operating apparently) and the Motor T guys were dragging ass to get one ordered for him. So, being a skilled mechanic, he took all the parts he needed (headlights, belts, brake pads, wires, spark plugs, etc.) from the good truck to get all the other 19 trucks good. All the bad parts went into the previously good truck for appearance sake and it was known as the Frankenstein truck. He tried to get it to run once and it literally came on for like 5 seconds, blowing white and black smoke out the exhaust before dying immediately

Shoulder fire a fucking aircraft .50 cal made out of some of the most American guns available during the war. It’s as marines as it gets

“Grandpa what did you do in the war?” “I made possibly the best hate spewing object in the whole damn Marine Corps”

Marines know one thing: combat effectiveness. May it never change.

“Combat loss M1, BAR, and M1919” is how this was explained to the Armory. This is what happens when Marines are bored lol

Two years late (I don’t know how I missed this when it first dropped), but this firearm is the perfect example of why I subscribe to FW. We get the story of how a Franken-gun was somehow devised and assembled out of innovative need, and then its effectiveness is covered ably by accounts of its use. Splendid video.

My uncle was a Corpsman on Iwo Jima. The human carnage really affected him. He was never the same after. He was so emotionally torn that he couldn't help many wounded because of the severity of their wounds. It really got to him.

My late Grandfather was a machine-gunner in the 45th Inf in WW2. He said he shot his 1919 from the hip a bunch, but when they hit Sicily, the German 42's sounded like tearing a piece of cloth, and said his MG went "Putt-putt-putt". His words. He would have loved this thing for the fire rate alone, much less the carrying capability. Very cool.

Stein came up with the gun and a machinist helped him finished it. It was used pre Iwo in a very crudely made version for jungle patrol on Bouganville. When planes using them were shot up beyond repair they would take the gun and adapt it. Excellent in clearing an area of jungle quickly during ambushes. They improved it at Hawaii and displayed it to the brass. Stein Took out 4 or 5 pill boxes with it on Iwo. Everytime he ran out of ammo he would go back picking up a wounded man he found on the way with him. He was leading a 19 man squad later and was killed by a sniper. He won the medal of honor.

I have a dream: see the Stinger industrially produced

The name "stinger" comes from their use on the Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bomber. They were mounted facing the rear in the rear cockpit, hence the plane's stinger. Later models of the Dauntless had a twin mount of the 1919. Famous Japanese fighter ace Saburo Sakai was badly wounded by the stingers of some SBD's he pounced, and nearly killed, but lived to fight again and survived the war. I was not aware of the modification of salvaged stingers for ground use! Awesome post, very cool info on this unique mod. Thanx!

MACV-SOG had similar leeway and created (with the assistance/complicity of engineers) unique theater specific weapons....soldiers often know what works best for them, even if it wouldn't work large scale! Thanks for sharing this example of such ingenuity!

As a machinist in the military, I can confirm that that exactly how that transaction would’ve gone.

And the future doctrine of the 240 gunner is born

Iwo Jima Marines: *use Stinger and find it to be a great gun* Also Iwo Jima Marines: it's not you it's me

Tony Stein was from Dayton, OH. I went by his memorial on the street named after him almost every day on my way to work when I lived there.

This is incredible! I love the attitude Stein had, as well as the superiors who finally supported him. You *really* had to hate the Japanese during WWII to have spent so much time and effort to build 6 of these guns, to even come up with the idea and be willing to execute it. Ingenious and crazy, I love it! Stein just ripped the gun off of an airplane, said “that’s about right”, tacked a stock on and went to work in Iwo Jima. I’m amazed at the amount of ingenuity, courage and fearlessness Stein displayed, truly an American hero and a legend for designing this weapon!

As a Para Marine, Stien would have already been considered a bad ass Warrior. Useful mechanical knowledge was just icing on the cake.
