Germany's L26 Silencer for the K98k, G43, and StG44 (ad-free)
Added 2023-01-09 12:00:07 +0000 UTCPatented in Germany as System Schätzle, the L26 was a departure from the copies of the Russian wipe-based silencer designs. The L26 used a set of six identical cone-shaped metal baffles inside a simple tube. It attached to a rifle by clamping around the front sight, just like the rifle grenade launcher developed for the K98k.
The basic design was used for several different models; basically everything in the Wehrmacht arsenal that was 8mm in diameter (although not the antitank rifle...). This example is for rifles, but a model was also made for the MG42, and about 200 of them were actually fielded. Total rifle pattern production was supposed to be 1000 units, but manufacturing problems led to production ending early (we don't know exactly how early).

YouTube recently rolled out some incredibly ambiguous and sweeping policy regarding content and monetization, even very mildly harsh language somewhere within the first five minutes can have someone arbitrarily demonetized, for instance. Might be worth checking out to see what seems to trigger these things, given how YouTube really hates guns and gun channels, there may be specific ones regarding them. Naturally, YouTube never TELLS anyone when they do things like this, and they never actually give any kind of full or proper explanation of what kind of content is actually covered by changes, so people have to piece together a puzzle after falling victim to it.

2023-01-11 17:06:21 +0000 UTCI thought the policies had changed, but the thumbnail for the trials G41 video (https://youtu.be/RtY1e4gJqzc) was unilaterally deleted by YouTube. So I'm back to this type.

2023-01-09 16:18:29 +0000 UTCWhy is the swastika blurred in the flag on the thumbnail in this video but not in others?!?
