2-Gun Match: New Inland M1 Carbine

This video features a range test of a World War II era M-1 Carbine, with a demonstration of its performance and accuracy. The presenter, in collaboration with Legacy Collectibles, highlights the firearm's tight grouping, albeit slightly to the right of the target. The adjustable rear sight is noted as an easy fix for this adjustment. The video also promotes their Patreon page and podcast, 'Flak & Fubar,' along with Legacy Collectibles' Instagram.

The M1 Carbine, an early archetype of a Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC), proves surprisingly effective on a challenging course of fire. Despite its age and iron sights, it successfully navigated steel targets including a dueling tree, a precision Mini-Mo, and a spinning Texas Star. Its lighter weight compared to many modern 9mm PCCs is noted, though its .30 Carbine round offers more power and range.

This video showcases a 1943 Inland M1 Carbine on Range 2, highlighting its historical significance and excellent condition. Hickok45 demonstrates its performance on various steel targets and cinder blocks, discussing its handling and accuracy. The segment also touches upon reloading procedures and the common characteristic of M1 Carbines not holding the bolt back on an empty magazine, along with potential magazine reliability issues.

Hickok45 demonstrates the M1 Carbine during a 'woods walk' on his range, engaging various targets like bottles and jugs. He also briefly uses a Colt 1911 .45 ACP for a close-range shot. The video highlights the M1 Carbine's history, handling, and effectiveness, concluding with a tactical reload and final target engagements.

This video features shooting a historical M1 Carbine chambered in .30 caliber, dating back to World War II. The content focuses on the operation and handling of this classic firearm, highlighting its historical significance and performance on the range.

This video captures the first range outing for a personal M1 Carbine, featuring Underwood ammunition. The reviewer expresses strong satisfaction with the firearm, likening its feel and recoil to a .22LR or PCC. Key highlights include the carbine's accuracy, its capability for fast follow-up shots, and its comfortable ergonomics. The reviewer also mentions plans for more focused accuracy testing in future sessions, indicating an ongoing engagement with the firearm.

This video details the unique 'French Finger Trap' issue with the MAS-36 rifle's bayonet, where two rifles can become unintentionally locked together. A 1951 French arsenal memorandum identified this problem, proposing a simple modification to the bayonet handle. Drilling a small hole allows a tool, like a firing pin, to depress the internal spring, enabling the separation of locked rifles.

The M134 Minigun is a scaled-down 7.62 NATO rotary cannon, requiring 24V DC power and consuming 1.5 kW. Its high rate of fire (3,000+ RPM) is essential for aircraft engagement windows. The complex delinker mechanism is critical for feeding ammunition, and practical hand-held use is impossible due to weight and recoil. Live fire demonstrates rapid ammunition consumption and the need for indirect aiming.

The H&K G11 is a revolutionary prototype assault rifle designed in the late 20th century, notable for its caseless ammunition and unique rotating drum bolt mechanism. Despite advanced features like a 2000 RPM burst fire rate and integrated optics, its development was ultimately halted by geopolitical shifts and cost concerns.

This video demonstrates the assembly and live-fire of the German 1936 pattern light mortar (L.Gr.W.36). It highlights the mortar's leveling mechanism for accuracy and the difficulty in visually tracking its 50mm projectiles after firing. The content showcases historical military hardware and its operational use.
