None of this video talks about design. It's all just "neat features this gun and that gun has" when true design lies in the internals and how they affect performance.

On the MP90, it’s most interesting trait is the way that it operates. It’s ammo goes into the weapon sideways, and then turns the proper orientation to chamber. It also ejects from the bottom.

Almost all guns can be trusted. The problem is the familiarity of the gun and some imperfections of the gun which is usually not intentional. I wouldn't want a loose mag socket no matter which gun it is.

It makes a"Pew pew" sound.

17:12 Right. But the SAW has that "capability" only as a last resort. Anyone who has ever had to rely on magazines to feed the M249 will know just how "good" an idea these things were...lol

I find it interesting how different armies utilize different stances, despite each countries soldiers having the same anatomy. When I was in the german army in a recon batallion, our prone position would often have one leg pulled closer to the torso than the other for added bracing particularly on uneven surfaces, or we would dig holes for the front part of the feet to be put in, for more comfort and additional support if we knew we would be lying there eventually. Shooting while standing would often times happen from a pose effectively called "pooping deer stance" which is a half ducked-half standing pose with legs and arms being close to each other and the torso, that attempts to minimize the profile towards the enemy while still being able to move at an accelerated pace (rather than ducking completely or standing wide open), reducing their chances to hit you, or a vital organ (by having your arms partially in front of your torso acting as a meatshield if you happen to be lucky). Its largest drawback would be that it can get quite uncomfortable when exhausted or over prolonged times, as the pose is pretty unnatural to the body.

rifle bayonets werent used for combat but to give fallen soldier that were seriously injured a grace strike

For a light machine gun, what if the mag was on the bottom but the gun could be rotated 90°. Like give it sights along the side and the top and fold out stand and maybe even a trigger and grip that rotates or is duplicated.
