It's common knowledge that German weapons of WW2 were far superior to anything Allied. That's what I'd tell myself if I were caught in this situation. We hope you enjoy this sketch and thanks to Cloaked for sponsoring this one!

    It's lucky for the Allies that the Germans never thought to combine two StG 44s into an StG 88...

    Squire's MG-42 is so advanced, he even has magazine pouches for it.
  • @72Kraken
    We've come a long way from those carboard cut out weapons
  • @Andy-iq6rk
    "Our weapons are so good we're waiting for metal to catch up" is an incredible line.
  • I love how they just have every Allied gun on every front at their fingertips. WW2 was a lot more easier when you could materialize any gun into your hands..
  • i'm suprised they didn't make the joke"it costs 400000 reischmark to fire this weapon, for twelve seconds"
  • @edm240b9
    Ironic fact: when many of the Americans supply depots were being overrun during the Battle of the Bulge, one of the popular Americans guns they actually captured was the M1 Carbine.
  • @NolDragon
    "Barely Rapid, Empty Now" was such a great delivery.
  • I remember being at supply once. I asked, "why is everything an M2?" I was immediately kicked out of the supply room
  • @connorinacar9008
    The funniest part about the supposed “garand ping was a give away” thing is implying any German could hear the ping of an M1 over the constant storm of 30-6 and 7.92 Mauser they were flinging at each other.
  • @Scav271
    Not only are they funny they seem like they'd be an absolute pleasure to be around in real life too, By far my favourite channel
  • The Marine Raiders field report of the M1 carbine's performance is pretty succinct: "will penetrate Japanese helmets at 100 yards." Keyboard warriors don't seem to understand that a 30 carbine round performs just as well as a 357 magnum.
  • @BritWBrot
    Never disappoints Should be an entire film from this man
  • @deaddad6310
    The administrative results reference hit me like a truck
  • @Rona247
    "barely rapid empty now" That joke about the bren gun is funny and accurate in the same time
  • @Mr_Blonde-ru9kd
    They didn't know about the allied superweapon. The 1911 which won 3 wars. Jokes aside, lovely sketch as usual, I hope one day we'll have one about ww1 weapons as well. Plenty of fun stuff to pick there too!
  • @yuuzyerbrejn9603
    It wasn't well known that many B-17s were taken down by MG-42's, and it's thought the number must be simply staggering. I like the website idea, I'll be there. I remember your first WT vids, still funny, and look at you now. Brilliant!
  • @Highice007
    I read somewhere that Germans hated the MG-42, as it hemraged ammunition at such a high rate that each soldier was made a pack mule for extra machine gun ammo in addition to the rest of their kit. They would have much prefered a Vickers gun or a .30 calaber machine gun instead.
  • @murisbukvic2496
    now we just need a soviet weapons version and we'll come full circle.
  • @EllRiver
    the ending is just perfect. biggest issue of the allied riffle was catching your thumb in it.
