Episode five of the series "Guns. The evolution of firearms" focuses largely on the U.S. weapons of World War I, a war in which American soldiers would first face the devastating Maxim machine gun, a weapon that used recoil to eject the spent casing and load the next round. Other machine guns highlighted are the crew-served German MG08, the .303 British Vickers gun, the Lewis gun with a 47-round drum magazine, the gas-operated Hotchkiss machine gun, and the Chauchat. Episode five also looks at the machine guns produced by John Moses Browning, including the M1917 and the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR).

Actually the German gun was called K98 and not G98 the G series was in WWII

The shosho was the biggest temperamental piece of shit for its category at the time dumbass French people left the magazine sides exposed so when it got dirty(((it's a fucking war it's most likely going to get dirty at the very least...HELLOOO?!?!))) it would jam a lot not to mention its shitty design made it jam a lot too. Funny how they don't mention any of that. And if there is people here because of battlefield one well whatever they're still retarded.

This narrator is a wanna be Morgan Freeman

Chauchat, pronounced "showsha", surely?
-
The amazing balls of the Germans protesting us using shotguns. Poison gas? That's okay. Bombing civilians? No problem but not shotguns!
Who doesn't love this guy from Kentucky? "I killed them Germans just like shooting wild turkeys back home." You gotta love a guy like that. -
The Chauchat was a colossal pile of shit. It jammed like no tomorrow owing to the open magazine and would often blow up in the gunner's face.

What about Thompsons?
-
Why do they sound american since america practically did nothing in ww1
-
Don't know about the G model Mauser, but the 98K is one hell of a good weapon, as is the 03 Springfield and the Enfield in 303 British.

I actually came here.......if u think it's BF1, then ur wrong, I came here to learn more about Weapons and world war one
-
was that a black guy on the WW1 battlefield? I know they were used behind the lines but I thought they were segregated from being able to participate in battle.
-
The Chauchat could fire how many rounds a minute?!? I was under the impression that it had an average of half a round per minute.
-
the Germans "protested" the shotgun?! WTF
-
Came here for Trench Shotgun.
I'm happy now. -
Did anyone else notice that in some of the scenes where they showed machine guns that the actors just shook the gun and moved it around instead of firing anything?
-
At 2:04 those are Viet cong troops
-
They had to use sound effects because the machine guns wouldn't cycle....wonder which idiot thought that was a good idea. Maybe just lazy af. In any case, kinda funny to watch, but bloody distracting.
