Germany Adopts the PPSh in 9mm: the MP-41(r) (ad-free)
Added 2023-02-20 12:00:01 +0000 UTCDuring World War Two, both he German and Russian soldiers often thought that the other side's weapons were better than their own. In particular, both sides often preferred their opponents' SMGs. In late 1941, a group of German officers formally requested that Germany simply copy and produce the PPSh-41. This led to the HWA formally studying the question of PPSh-41 vs MP-40...and they found that the German gun was better, but the Russian magazine was better.
Naturally, as a result of this finding, the German military chose to convert captured Russian PPSh-41s to use MP-40 magazines . The conversion used standard MP40 magazines, and required magazine well adapters and new 9mm barrels. Some 10,000 such conversions were made in total. Some used cast magwell adapters and some were stamped, and the barrels were made from standard MP40 barrels turned down to fit PPSh trunnions.
The standard 7.62mm PPSh-41 in German service was designated MP-717(r), while the ones changed to 9x19mm like this were designated MP-41(r). Many thanks to Limex for giving me access to film this one for you!

would take that rather than a mp40 I assume. IF one could get one.

2023-02-21 20:43:36 +0000 UTCYouTube, in its infinite wisdom, decided to age-restrict this copy, but not the public one. And they rejected my appeal. Sorry, but I can't do anything to fix it. It should be ab one-time thing, I hope.

2023-02-21 10:13:34 +0000 UTCWhy is it my Patreon free no ads viewing pops up with an age restriction and then forces me to watch ads on regular YouTube?!? 🤔

2023-02-20 20:53:23 +0000 UTCMe too. I got a half dozen or so videos age-restricted a few weeks ago, but they seem to have stopped doing it now.

2023-02-20 20:34:25 +0000 UTCNope, YouTube flagged this video (but not the public one) and then rejected my appeal. Sorry - nothing I can do about it.

2023-02-20 20:28:34 +0000 UTCThe age restriction is because the gun is now a 'digitally' cursed Nazi-Soviet hybrid gun.

2023-02-20 18:15:10 +0000 UTCIan probably clicked a settings button on the video that he didn't mean to, and now isn't around to fix it immediately.

2023-02-20 17:33:58 +0000 UTCI just watched it on YouTube, where no age restriction message shows up.

2023-02-20 16:43:05 +0000 UTCAge restriction? I found a copy of "Small Arms of the World" at my local public library (what we had before the Internet) at the tender age of 11. That book obviously traumatized me sixty years ago and turned me into the dangerous person I am today.

2023-02-20 14:48:29 +0000 UTCWhat the ...!
2023-02-20 14:46:45 +0000 UTCas I understand, the 7.63 mauser cartidge could stand in for the 7.62x25 cartidge. Im not sure how prevelant Mauser C96s were in the German army of WWII but I would assume the supply of 7.63 mauser was small enough that it would be easier to convert to 9mm Luger.

2023-02-20 14:33:57 +0000 UTCYou guys realize the videos on Pateron are still being hosted on YouTube, it is just the ad free version. I am sure Ian somehow angered the algorithm and it was age restricted.

2023-02-20 12:40:23 +0000 UTCAge restriction? This video cannot be seen on Patreon. I don't know what is the point of paying an annual subscription to end up seeing everything on YouTube.
2023-02-20 12:31:24 +0000 UTCGod i love that German logic on the magazines
