It is truly one of the most upgrades of all time.
Just put it into a machine easy and simple then ur weapon comes better

The difference is It's actually slower than drawing from a holster lol And God forbid your rifle gets knocked out of your hands or something.
@@asahearts1 What happens when your sidearm runs out of bullets?
A second sidearm is always faster than reloading your primary sidearm.
Not to mention a situation where an enemy thinks you've got your hands up and no visible sidearm, until one drops out of the stock of the rifle you're holding up

In 2004 I saw a pederson device for sale. Out of my 35+ years of collecting militaria it was the only one I've seen for sale in person. It was the rifle, device, magazines, magazine bag and tools. $80,000 in 2003. To say they are rare is an understatement. But side note, the magazine bags still show up from time to time for not to expensive.
The government destroyed most of them.
There's one in the NRA museum.
Super rare!

The 'Stinger' M1919 was an impressive field-expedient weapon system in the Pacific Campaign during WW2. Simple History did a video on it in the past.

Give this post more love guys! Simple History always ❤'s these posts if we make them see em lol.
During the Rhodesian Bush War, many unorthodox weapons were developed. The Bren in 7.62x51 had modified FAL mags welded together to make 35rd mags, The Rhoedesian SAS modified a Hispano 20mm auto cannon to be light enough to carry in a small helicopter and pushed on a specially-made bipod with wheels through the jungle to overlook a bridge at the Zambian border. Farmers would often make a wide variety of slam-fire shotguns arranged in rows or circular pinwheels around their vehicles to defend against a roadside ambush. Most designs had a series of pipes on either side of the vehicle loaded with 12gauge shotgun shells. When the driver pulled a lever, the barrels (pointed upwards) would drop down to hit a firing pin and discharge to fend off an attack.
Thats not even including the weapons modified for special forces. RPDs with chopped barrels, suppressed AM-180s, or AKMs with suppressors and subsonic ammo. One AK was heavily customized to include a variety of built-in survival features like a .22 flare launcher in a folding stock, a compass in the hand guard, and illuminated night sights, and a few other features.

Daaaaaamn, that’s fuckin sick…!
Use what you have.
Bren LMG + FAL = BrenFAL
RPD shorted barrel & AKMS with Suppressor
Love how you use sources
They even made FALs recoil downwards with the Halbek muzzle device.
The Pedersen device was a brilliant feat of engineering. The Rifles were ultimately sold as surplus, though they still were kept in service until the 1903 and 1903A3s were completely retired from service. They are safe to use as they aren't low serial numbers. The devices themselves were mostly gathered up and destroyed. Few examples survived, I've seen one for sale at a gun show.
I don't believe it was necessary to remove the standard rifle rounds from the rifle regular magazine since the device would take the space of the regular bolt and wouldn't be feeding rounds from it. The device also filled in the chamber so it's impossible to feed both cartridges at the same time. There was also a modified 1917 Enfield rifle that had its own Pedersen device made, but they're about as rare as hens teeth
Correct, you can leave rounds loaded in the chamber. All the device does is replace the bolt.
There was also a version for the Mosin Nagant. There was one remaining of the prototypes built. I had 900+ rounds of Pederson device ammo, but stupidly traded it off. The 1968 Gun Digest has an excellent article if you can find a copy.
Battlefield moment
im curious, what does a low serial number have to do with it?
@@Number1Irishlad numbers of how many rifled were made
Could've the Pedersen Device made an impact on the battlefield? Beside the really awkward magazine on the side, being able to fire semi-auto with lighter rounds sounds really ahead of its time.
I think Forgotten Weapons said it never worked very well, and for it to make a difference you'd have to supply tens or hundreds of thousands of troops, and to do that you gotta convince proto-boomer fudd generals that they need to swap out the old rifles they love and trust for a newfangled gun that barely works and shoots a way smaller casing. It's a tough sell to get thru all that mess so it would be hard to say if it would have made an impact.
Not to mention around the same time, the MP18 and BAR were created, which are both far superior in terms of function and reliability, so in reality the army probably would have just focused on those two types of new weaponry instead of conversions.
A good example in history is the .308 converted M1 Garands in the 60s. As soon as M14s were more readily available, all the converted M1s were dumped
The C&Rsenal video on them covers it well, basically it is a weapon that looks great on paper but would likely have faired poorly in real combat.
But the device requires a modified rifle to work properly.
If it was just the bolt that was necessary, then maybe it could've made a bigger impact.
The device was a compromise wherenone was needed: a simplified Win. M1907 in .351 SL would have been cheap and easy to produce.
A dedicated .32 APC carbine might have been just as easy to supply as Pedersons and Modified M1903s. Arriving at an enemy trench with a loaded semi-auto long gun woukd have been pretty hot.
Imagine being the first guy to pull out a gun while flying when the other pilot expects a salute

Kind of sad you guys didn't cover the most crazy ww2 custom gun: the M2 Stinger! Some Mad lad in the US marines took a AN/M2 aircraft machine gun and turned it into a frankenstein weapon. A mix of machine gun and rifle!
Actually they did on a separate video. I’m just surprised they didn’t include it on here.
They have a video on it

8:33 fun fact about this caliber: it was then adopted by france as the .32 long and has recently seen a resurgence thanks to our very own Ian McCollum
7:42 remember kids switching to a secondary is faster than reloading.
Seeing a gun having a gun is the most American thing I’ve seen 7:31
0:05 average day in european streets
One thing I always loved about this channel is the attention to detail in the animation on things like guns, it always makes me Google what the gun actually looked like then I dive into a rabbit hole of my own research and end up learning even more
0:29-0:36 I feel like you missed out on doing a jumpscare with the soldier who's taking cover trying to fix the weapon looks back up only to get shot by a German that got close up.
2:00 soon as the last guy came in, the dr livesly walk theme just popped in my head n made the animation so much better.
God I hope to see that brass catching cage on a Forgotten weapons video someday
I'd be surprised if it hasn't been on already
& the magazine.
It’ll only happen when Ian finds more .45 French long cartridges

Now I finally know wtf the M1903 experimental from Battlefield 1 is! Thanks Simple History
Next Call Of Duty
Wouldn't it be normal? Since he said some plane don't use gun but I guess that early in the war but still
Was sure the Alofs Magazine Loader was going to be in this.
A spring that triggers when a Box loader opens that placed the round in for you.
The Pedersen Device actually requires an ejection slot to be cut on the left side of the M1903 receiver to function. See C&Rsenal’s video on it.
I've seen at least one 1903 that had the modified receiver in person. I regret not buying it.
3:07 I love the attention to detail, putting the dimples on the struck primers in the cartridges like that. Keep up the good work.

1:36 why’s he stroking his pistol like that
What’s crazy to me is we go from shooting muskets than within 60 years sending people up to space
I think it should be barely flying a contraption of cloth and sticks to reaching the moon in 60 years. Muskets were out-of-phase since the 1870's

Weapons engineer 1: "so how many upgrades do you wanna add to this rifle"
Weapons engineer 2: "yes"
I would like my AR-15 upgraded with the M1 garand, M4, .308, 9mm, .45 cal, 12x zoom infrared scope, m40 grenade rotary grenade launcher attachment with the optional javelin missile system--extended mag, and the belt fed 12 gauge shotgun.
Also a large coke and side of fires to go.
I remember using the peterson rounds in battlefield 1 😂

Happy that the M1 got some glitter, wish the 1911 got a star for its AA capabilities.
The D cell battery in the Carl Gustaf m/45 is one of my favorites.
Carl Gustaf is a type Grease Gun or MP40
@@azimisyauqieabdulwahab9401 Very similar guns in that they are all open bolt, "tube" submachine guns but not the same guns.
@@azimisyauqieabdulwahab9401 No it is not. They are three different guns. Grease gun and MP40 are not related either. They share the same basic operating system but are not the same design or interchangeable in any way.
@@azimisyauqieabdulwahab9401 Maybe you are thinking of the smith and wesson m76.
Although this may be off topic, but one suggestion of a subject that I can... Well, suggest, is one about the Molotov Cocktail. Considering that its a well known (or Probably more infamous) "grenade"
A very effective upgrade was developed in New Zealand to provide machine guns for use for local defense when nearly all of our aromatic weapons had been sent overseas for use by forces in action there. It was the Charlton machine gun which was a modified .303 Lee Enfield bolt action rifle which when fitted with bren gun magazines made for an effective if odd looking weapon. As they were locally produced with local resources they filled a very real need.
A lot of community made Nerf designs employee modularity something like this. No I have yet to see a design which incorporated a mechanism like the Peterson device.
surprised the Charlton wasn’t on here. Fully automatic conversion with a detachable magazine for the Lee-Enfield bolt-action rifle that turned it into a light machine gun
The Pedersen Device in Battlefield 1 is really useful. It's my main weapon where I can alternate between assault and marksman roles.
It’s also ultra good in enlisted
9:35 again only real ones know what game that’s from
I always love watching these weird weapons videos
Can I praise Simple History how smooth your animation nowadays
Ai in CoD campaign be like 0:35
3:48 why france tho💀.
🤣
The AUG A3 can be equipped with a special barrel shroud made by Corvus Defensio (I think its Corvus Defensio anyway) which allows the user to attach the same underbarrel grenade launcher as what can be equipped to the G36.
Steyr Arms also makes an upgrade kit for the G36, and dubbed their version the G62. It replaces the polymer upper receiver with a metal one, an upgraded barrel is optional, and there are a few other things too.
Steyr would also provide an optional "NATO" stock for the civilian version of the AUG which makes it able to accept STANAG magazines rather than its usual proprietary ones. And yet aftermarket magazines for either version are made by Magpul as well.
Ratworx makes a metal sear to replace the plastic one for the civilian AUG to lighten the trigger.
When you put your gun in the pack-a-punch machine:
Lol
7:43 i had to re-watch that little shooting scene a few times, idk why but i thought it looked really cool lol.
and the audio is spot on, the clicks of the empty mag is a nice touch, that was a cool little animation.
I wouldn't hate seeing a short combat video made in that style , maybe a little extra gore ;)
Basically the thumbnail and the intro clip:
Upgrading an upgrade with an upgrade
That's if the one weapon on your hand just wasn't enough
The thumbnail is just when a soldier answers yes when they're asked what upgrades they want.
I'm surprised you missed the biggest cludge of all, the Stinger machine gun.
they didn't miss it. it has it's own dedicated video.

switching to your pistol is faster than reloading to the next bloody level
I’m glad you highlighted the flaw with the mule
I can literally hear the Pack-A-Punch machine going off while reading the video title
Was waiting for a video like this.
Maybe instead of pistols why not ammo or grenades? If the soldier ran out of ammunition or explosives he or she can open the stock to excess the ammo/explosive to suppress the enemy. It can also maybe have medicine or extra food and water if supplying troops is too difficult or just needed it.
In the first few seconds into the intro, you basically just summarized Warhammer 40k orks
The Pederson Device was a helluva good idea for it's time, but it was too novel to work and really overlooked the obvious: what was needed was a blowback carbine in an intermediate caliber deployed in vast numbers. Something similar to the later .30 Carbine... like a simplified Winchester M1907 in .351SL with 10 or 15 rd mags for instance.
I think the Springfield rife modification is the bases for the M1 grand.
no. they are way different mechanically.
The 1903 is my dream gun
A natural continuation of this would be attatchments to non gun weapons. Putting a sword sized bayonet on a pistol would of course be silly but a pistol attatchment to a sword where however experimented with. Apperantly the battleaxe/pistol combo where in use by renaissance age cavalry in some places.
"Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems, not problems like "What is beauty?" Because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems, for instance: how am I going to stop some mean mother Hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous be-hind? The answer, use a gun, and if that don't work... Use more gun. Take for instance this heavy caliber tripod mounted lil' old number designed by me, built by me, and you best hope... Not pointed at you."

Aaahh i see, simple history doing some daily December uploading😊😊very happy about it
I have a question, was that last scene of the Peterson device animated using a videogame as reference? The way it feels and how the sights flick over to the other guy just reminds me of so many different ww1 type games
I know WWI planes were glorified balsa wood and canvas but it's so surprising they could be littered with bullets and be fine but an ejected bullet case could bring one down.
It is crazy, canvas lined planes could easily take hits since the bullets would just tear through the canvas. Surprisingly, some of those types of planes were used to take on the Bismarck and managed survive a torpedo run and get a few hits on it, and make it back to the carrier safely. yet a damn shell casing in the engine could muck it all up
America: “ we need best guns “. Ukraine and Russia “ GUN IS GUN “

Imagine going from gentlemanly waves to immediately spinning the block with that stick. Truly innovative.
The airborne 1911 extended mag is amazing, he really got that thang on em.
You know what the M.U.L.E. reminds me of? The Magpul FMG-9.
The gimmick behind it was that it can be concealed by folding itself into a neat little, supposedly harmless box, and then unfolded into an SMG when in a combat zone. Only one problem: It was no more efficient or efficient than actually drawing a concealed pistol or some other compact SMG. Why would security personnel want to carry such an overly complex mechanism with them into battle when they can just as, if not more quickly draw their sidearm or compact weapon of their choice? It’s more practical that way.
Fortunately, it never left the prototype stage, and was more of a proof of concept that magpul did to show everyone what cool stuff that they could do with their guns.
And so, this weapon was banished to forever inhabit the servers of Modern Warfare 3, Rainbow Six: Siege, Payday 2, and the fields of Airsoft courses.
