It's really impressive, if you look at it on the historical side. We went from using a flintlock to an AR-15 in one century and a half.
Imagine what we, we will be using in another 150 years

Would bet my life on a gun that shoots one bullet and takes 3 years to reload
info, the rifles before the 1850/60s minie rifles toom around 2 minutes or less to load if you were a professional, the lead ball had to be rammed until the rifling cut into it, smoothbore weapons with smooth barrels were making up at least 92% of weapons, possibly more, full length ones had an effective range of 55 metres and took around 20 seconds or a bit less if you were skilled, early rifles did have the advantage of being able to hit quite consistently to 100 metres with light experience and could hit a few hundred past that if you were extremely talented, rifles almost completely replaced muskets after the minie system as if you couldnt compete with the minie system your army would either have to use older rifles with 1/6th the firate or muskets with less than 1/4 the effective range so fast loading rifles had pretty much completely replaced smoothbores aftern then
Not even a bullet.
AR-15 shouldnt even be on that list. Ima say that right now... (Edit: Im going off of years actively used in service)
why?
@@thegruntgoober2507 The US never adopted the AR-15 into service, meaning it’s not a rifle of the US military.
@@thegruntgoober2507because ar 15 it's civilian version of m16/m4
Oh, ok.
Wait, AR's were used in Vietnam. Right?
You did NOT just forget about the Spencer Repeating Carbine/Rifle like that
I was waiting for it too and was surprised when they didn't show it.
Those aren't military weapons.
@@jeffreygao3956yes the fuck they are
@@lifelesstutorialbuilder1not realleeeh
@@Nsodnoajdjkslin the 1860s/1870s it sure as hell was
No mention of the M-21. That was an M-14 based, semi-auto, sniper rifle effective out to 800m. It was used primarily in the mid 1970s until late 1980s. It had 20 round magazines and could be used full auto if one needed to. One heck of a weapon. If I had to defend a position today, that is the weapon I would want.
This isn't a very good list, but it also didn't mention the sniper variants of any weapons other than the mdoern ones. Older guns like the Sharps rifle, Springfield 1903, Enfield 1917, M1 Garand, or M14 didn't mention the sniper versions
What about the M110A1? It’s essentially an HK G28 / HK417 design to replace the M110 SASS as the US new 7.62 DMR. It was accepted into the US Army and US Marine Corp in 2016.
It’s in the video m110sass
@@HWG-wm8ldthat was the M110, not the M110A1, which replaced the M110
lol the AR10 did not see its first prototype until 1955 and the patent was not even made until 1952, we certainly were not using the AR10 in Korea
something to note, until the springfield 1860s minie rifle, rifles were quite rare to see as they took about 1-2 minuites to load if you were very skilled and the accuracy deteriouarted after firing a few times, most men before 1850 used smoothbore flintlock weapons, the us got one of the first caplocks adopted, a smoothbore, smoothbore weapons have no grooves so when you are ramming a bullet down the front one that is small into a wide barrel is easier to load than a ball you have to ram until the rifling cuts into it and it can be violently shoved down, the minie bullet was longer with a hollow base, it was smaller than the rifled barrel so was lubed to slide down at similar rate to smoothbores before it, when fired the explosion would push the hollow rear of the bullet into the rifling, after the minie raifles of france britain and a few others anything that wasnt alright 200 metres away was considered a downside
ps smoothbore weapons used a smooth tube as a barrel so at full length were only mostly effective to around 55 metres and took around 20 secs to load
Thank you for giving more information
a soldier could load a flintlock in under 30 seconds, 10-15 seconds if they real good.
@@aaronjanderson1942 that is true for muskets, in the field and after a few shots the rpm dropped from 4-5 to 1-2
Rifled cut into the lead ball so needed quite a bit more time to load
@@theprancingprussian 2 shots per minute was reasonable for a veteran rifleman.
not true,
soldiers could load the Springfield 1842, Mississippi 1841, palmetto 1842, enfield 1853, Lorenz 1855, Springfield 1855, Harper's Ferry 1855 rifles in 15 to 20 seconds. All of these were cap and ball systems (the successor to flintlocks). The 1840's guns were muskets (smoothbores) but most were converted to rifled barrels as the war progressed. The 1850's guns were rifled barrels, all could fire the Minie ball
nice to see the comments mentioning important guns not included in the video. pretty informative
The Harper's Ferry m1803, was the first mass produced factory long gun for standard military issue to troops.
I would love to see a video on Police Sidearms of the largest cities across the 50 United States
Hello bro ❤uS rifle's are very good thanks
Thanks bro
@@dataillusion Bro which city are you from?
Love the Colt M16A3(Picatinny-Rail Removable Handguard)
Should have mentioned the XM177/CAR-15 and MK18
The XM8 is so terrible that not even JSOC wants to touch it.
I attended U.S. Army BCT at Fort Leonard Wood in 1980. We trained with the M16, M60 and M203 (among others). The M16 issued to us had three firing modes. Those being 1. semi-automatic, 2. three round burst and 3. fully automatic. Again, this was in 1980, not 1983.
Just about all of the equipment used was Vietnam War era surplus. Including field C-rations packaged in 1972 (yuk!), no MREs back then.
You forgot a bunch of rifles from the 1860's through the 1890's...
Its intresting to know back in 1898 we used a norweigen gun which I feel like needs more light shed on it
Can you do germany to pls?
Am working on it
@@dataillusion thanks bro
Y el Winchester de palanca?
You forgot the Matchlock Musket.
Bro, do you think America became a country in the 1400s? It was the seventeen hundreds
I love the sig mcx
wow, you actually included the M1941!
Yeah, hope you enjoyed the video
@@dataillusionbut not the Spencer Repeating Rifle/Carbine
Some missed, some overlooked and some very odd specialized service rifles u picked
during medieval times
america has already a gun

:Doesn't see 1903a1 - a4:
I'm okay with that though.
Love the vid !
That is a pistol, gonna make pistols too
Pretty cool. So many experts in the comments…surprised they didn’t ask where the plasma rifle with 40 watt range was.
"Only what you see buddy."
You got the m16 and m16a1 mixed up. The m16 jammed a lot not the m16a1. It gets that name because of the xm16e1
do pistols that look like luger p08 pls ive been waiting for months days and week but you kept replacing pls make it pls
not really a viable toppic for a video. but yes luger's are cool as heck
the only pistols that look like the p08 would possibly be the c93 or finnish lahti l35
Only the c93,lahti, and nambu pistol look like the luger
@@dataillusion you could try different militaries primary weapon
Like Germany (starting with Prussia)
Or Britain
Thank your for your services (guns)
:salute:
M16A2 only had 2 firing mode options: Single & 3 Round Burst
By the 90s, most Vietnam vets had aged out of the military and the new recruits were not really disciplined when it came to ammo conservation with the full-auto M16A1
The army was all about more bullets shot, more people killed. That's why they changed to the M16. Lighter ammo so more could be carried.
What about XM8? Is it just an experimental rifle?
It is not yet in service
@@dataillusion And im sure that it wont be ever, XM8 was ALMOST accepted and almost entered service
@@dataillusion so much time have passed since its experiments
It alot of flaws and was never adopted.
Wrong timeline
Being technical, the XM7 is a carbine, not a rifle. That's why it's designation number is not above 16.
MX7 is so far pretty good
This list is all over the place lol
😩if only the ACR had made it to the US military Arsenal.
If only Remington hadn't ruined it.
@@bcmmike how did Remington ruin it?
1.3 mil likes and 92k views yeah makes sense
What the hell happened to the M1 Garands and the Winchester mod 1896 trench gun?
“US military RIFLES timeline”. The 1897 is a Shotgun
@CharlieFoxtrot128 I am well aware that the trench gun a 12 gage pump action shotgun.
@@billsanders5067 so why are you asking what happened to it? As if it belongs here? In a list of rifles? And the Garand was there, pay attention
Mk14 n M39 are simply modernised versions of the M14
M16A3 was issued to me in boot camp jul 1985
Guns are getting smaller and more powerful
Thats the real evolution, everything is getting smaller
Not more powerful. A .30-06 is still significantly more powerful than a 5.56, it’s just they realized they don’t need to give that to everyone.
The military does NOT use an ar15
Same weapon, different selector
Why are you putting armalite in front of AR? AR stands for armalite if you didn’t know.
I thought it was “assault” rifle
@@Beans_gt22 nah, it’s a common misconception. Armalite is the company that made the gun. Unless the creator was trying to put armalite assault rifle. If they did mean that then they should’ve just put armalite assault rifle instead of armalite ar.
Wrong about the m16a2 I think. Video claims it to have 3 firing modes. I presume safety does not classify as a firing mode, since it isn’t firing anything in safety. It has semi or 3 round burst, which is what I think it was trying to claim.
At least it's an iconic weapon
Yes, semi and burst…hopefully it doesn’t fire on safe.
Going by automaker standards? where as a 4 speed with reverse is called a 5 speed.😆
The barret sniper was used in gta5
What about the Henry 1860 ?
Wasn’t an officially adopted rifle. It was normally either captured from confederate soldiers or personally bought
@@CharlieFoxtrot128 Confederate? I don’t think so, they were manufactured in New Haven, CT. The Henry was adopted in small quantities by the Union in the American Civil War, favored for its greater firepower than the standard-issue carbine. Just 1,731 of the standard rifles were purchased by the government during the war, 6,000 to 7,000 saw use by the Union on the field through private purchases by soldiers who could afford it, 50 were bought by the commonwealth of Kentucky.
@@queensapphire7717 either way, that’s not a government issued weapon, so it doesn’t make sense to include it in the list.
The 1903 is an A3 .
The XM7 was designed to replace the M4 but whenever it gets fielded and used in actual warfare I don't think it will succeed.
Why not? It's a modernized design of the AR with a larger cartridge.
@@babycarrotz32 if you actually look at the specs of the xm7 it’s basically going back to the dmr style of weapons and we all know how that ended in vietnam
Not to mention the insane cost of the weapon, ammo and barrels that will burn out a lot faster. Bad idea, like the M14. Some O-7 trying to make a page in history and or get a seat on the board at sig.
@@HWG-wm8ldthat cost is civilian pricing, military prices will undoubtedly be significantly lower
❤ 👍
The M14 A1 came before the armalight M16 or M16 A1
Thats the m14 rifle
I swear if they don’t bring back the M4A1 Carbine to military standard firearm, I will make them
They still use m4a1s in limited service, they also got a semi auto sig XM7 called the MCX spear. Its probaboy not gonna be as popular as the ar15 tho. And d*m*c*a*ts already hate it
@@DiyingIntelCpu why did you censor the word?
2:07 “mulfunctions” (M16A1) 🙄
So like did we forget BAR on purpose or accident?
yuove put on a military list, the ar15, then gone, "iconic rifle although it was not used in the military" WTF is this
man you are missing a bunch of rifles in there
What about the Springfield 1842
You missed the lever action repeaters during the Civil War (such as the Henry). These gave Union troops huge advantages over the Confederates towards the end of the war.
yeah but those weren't standard issue - the maker of this video seems to be listing here what the standard army issue rifles were (for the most part). The lever action guns were mostly purchased by individual soldiers, or by wealthy entrepreneurs who then equipped certain troops on their own. That happened with many "off the beaten path" rifles. Rich industrialists would develop a new gun, and entrepreneurs would try and get the gun into use to show its worth (to try and get the army to buy them). Developers on both sides would do this. The Civil War was very much a breeding ground for better rifles, for salesmen to get their weapons into the market. The war began with smoothbore muskets, and through this quest ended up with lever action rapid fire guns using enclosed cartridge ammunition. If the war had lasted another couple of years we would have seen nothing but lever action rifles and gatling guns being used. Really crazy how fast guns technology jumped forward in only a few years....
How stupid am I to only realize now that MK14 EBR is the descendant of M1 Garand
They changed the gas system from long stroke to short stroke, so they are pretty different. Fun fact, the main inspiration to the AK was the M1 Garand
Wait doesn’t the M14 come before even the Armalite rifle 10.
It came into service later
No cause while im almost certain the military looked at the AR10 the military being conservative at the time and considering the Direct gas impingement system was new and not battle proven, it's no surprise the military overlook it in favor of the m14
Stg44 ???
The STG44 is from german my guy
i think he didnt mean it series@@dataillusion
and AR-15 platform is here to stay.
Where is the plasma cutter from dead space???

The thompson is a submachine gun
Why dod you put ar adter armalite when ar stands for armalite?
None of the Stoner weapons were mentioned
What about the scar mk16 and mk17, which was tested, and i think still used by the seals?
Also forgot the HK416 made for SEALs and Delta Force.
@@sikderqais6151Thats the m27 iar
Not all seals and it’s just a piston AR.

No Springfield 1842?
Ar 15 and m16
As far as I know, the AR-15 was brought into service by the USAF in the early 1960's as a replacement for the M-2 carbine.
No it wasn't. The Air Force only used them for testing, since the CJCS opposed having a new caliber for them to worry about. However, some AR-15s were sent by DARPA to Vietnam and used
In thai we have HK33 too
The Ar 15. Looks like it is the m16
It's not. Not even sure why they included the AR-15 since it was never a military rifle.

Why is the Sig 516 on there???
SIG is currently a US firearm company, from 2017
m1 garand is a game changer....it kills 100+thousand people in ww2
No it didn't kill that many enemy soldiers. Even in heavy combat, riflemen don't kill that many people, if they kill anyone at all. Their role in combat is fire and maneuver. True in WW2 and true today.
At the infantry level, it's the machine gunners, mortarmen, and other heavy weapons who stack 70% of the bodies. That's before you get into the even more substantial body stacking done by artillery, air support, etc.
It's true in reverse. That's the main reason why, in the GWOT wars, US casualties were so low. If the Taliban were being backed and supplied to the hilt by China/Russia, providing them with a never ending supply of heavy infantry weapons (including systems that can mitigate against American air power), artillery, etc, US casualties could've been 10x higher. It'd have looked more like the Soviet Afghan war in the 1980s, or to an extent, Vietnam.
