TheΒ defense overtook th offense, unfortunately it was a long stall, weapons killed millions of soldiers, a third died of disease and hardship, then millions of civilians and soldiers died with the Spanish epidemic, and still today the flu pandemics scare, and not a little.

Dannazione il Wechselapparat M1917 mette paura solo a vederlo D:

In effetti era un'arma piΓΉ psicologica che pratica, aggiungeva un nuovo orrore alla
lista giΓ lunga dei nuovi strumenti di uccisione sviluppati nel corse della grande guerra.

Se consideri i suoi cugini avanzati della guerra che Γ¨ venuta dopo questa come il famigerato Flammenwerfer o anche l'americano M2A1-7, pur venendo dopo la Prima Guerra Mondiale ovvio, il sangue gela lo stesso. Amo la meccanica, la dinamica, i principi fisici e il design delle armi ma ogni volta che le guardo mi fanno da vivo monito di quanto schifo faccia la guerra.

La guerra Γ¨ terribile,
io ero un'osservatore di artiglieria, la durata media statistica in battaglia
di uno specialista di artiglieria Γ¨ di 1 minuto e 15 secondi,
fortunatamente sono nato in un periodo di pace.

I wouldn't want to mess around with a german that has a Wechselapparat M1917.Β

Me too,Β not that a machine gun is better,
but to die charred is really horrible!

Another great series of yours! That yellow paper background adds some nice artistic touch to it. MP-18 bolt on safety catch? Hah, nice detail! BTW, do you following C&Rsenal on youtube?

No, I follow Ian, the Jesus of weapons on Forgotten Weapons, but thank you for the prompt, I didn't know it,
it looks very interseting!Β

You are welcome! They are definitely worth to check. Extremly well presented indepth series about WWI firearms with history of development, mechanical features and fire demonstrations. Also, they did Project Lightening about WWI LMGs in conjuction with Ian not so far ago. One of the best firearms documentary in a years!

I've just seen a documentary on the Ruby pistol, wow, very well done,Β I immediately registered.

Kugel grenade? that's one weird name to give a weapon, I know enough German to know that a Kugel is a sort of puddingΒ - Aunt Kat's jewish relatives used to make it.Β Fruit, cinnamon, sweetened curd cheese
π: 0 β©: 2
Surely this pudding is much more delicious than the kugel grenade.Β Β
Kugel means bullet and sphere too, it's famous the Nazi Kugel-Erlass orΒ Action Kugel, the secret "Bullet Decree"Β
which decreed the execution of POW fugitives.

p.s. will you ever do an illustration of the Warsaw Uprising? just been reading a book about the Polish fighters and how they built their own damn tank! and their own submachine guns.
They were incredibly inventive I'll say for definiteΒ

I don't know, may be, ars longa.....

ars longa vita brevis as my art teacher used to say, but it would be a pity if you never try publishing your pictures in a book.
God knows I would have liked to read something like that as a kid.

It's very kind of you,Β this is a beautiful compliment.

The details here are very nicely done, and you give adequate run downs of what each object is. Very good!

Andrea, as always amazing attention to detail, and to educating your viewers.
The Gewehr 98 was a very accurate rifle, and I am glad added the flip-up distance sight.
It has distance marked in 100's of meters, slide up, sight and shoot.
It is difficult for people today to appreciate the reality and horrors of trench warfare.
Force on force, miles of trenches, death, disease, maggots and flies.
The "Great" war was anything other than great.
A shame it never became the war to end all wars.

Thank you my dear friend, I agree with you, it's a shame, but it was a clash of empires,Β
we Europeans have been lucky, the M.A.D. and the N.A.T.O. shieldΒ assured us of 70 years of peace, after the imperial dreams ended we no
longer had to fight, apart from the senseless Falklands / Malvinas war, and the anachronistic French wars that tried to
oppose decolonization, unfortunately for you Americans there were Korea, Vietnam and Iraq, and Russian had the Afghanistan conflict,
imperial politics implies wars and conflicts.

No more room left on the plate, the only way to put it would be to cross it with the sturmmesser...

How different was weapons in Germany from WW1 to WW2?
π: 0 β©: 1
It had passed just 20 years,Β but the evolution was shocking.

It must have been the call to action.

Beautiful work, as always!
I found these items to be both scary and fascinating. I read somewhere that the sub-machine gun was one of the few weapons designed for a specific purpose (as you mentioned, trench raids). Well, automatic weapons have come a long way.
π: 0 β©: 1
I also feel the same way.
It'sΒ so, from the lathe and milling machine,
to profiled metal sheet since to synthetic material, a very long way.
π: 0 β©: 1
Indeed.Β
On the other hand, these modern automatic rifles are very reliable. In my studies, I am learning a great deal about how humans have found ingenious ways of killing each other. I often wonder what is our fascination with terrible weapons, even though we know how awful their impact is?

I don't know, I can feel the same passion for motorcycles too, the old ones are terrific,
surely the Indo-Europeans have known how to use the conquests of technology to produce
better and better weapons, now we are waiting for the Chinese plasma cannon, but these modern
weapons do not fascinate me that muchΒ

So it's more a period interest. I know what you mean!

German equipment was often first rate. I had never heard of extra plates being added to their helmets, but I can see why it could cause weight problems.Β And I'm sure that body armor was a beast to wear! Great work as always!Β Β

They were a hard burden indeed!Β Thank you

It may seem random, but can you show of the weapons from the Croatia's Homeland war?
π: 0 β©: 1
Mmmm, something like the Zastava M76 or the M70 B1....
I'm going to end the ww1 and ww2 tables, very little remain, then why not?

The US did use it this on a Springfield but it was an Air Service

Tank you for the hint, I've just found it, it has a 20 rounds magazine too.
π: 0 β©: 1
It also quite rare as well

I like the Gewehr 98 with the trench magazine.
π: 0 β©: 1
I wish I had one!
π: 0 β©: 1
Those things are rare as hell, although I believe the Gewehrs with trench magazines are sold in auctions or up for display in museums.

I wish I could use some of these weapons
