"Go away from Switzerland, you... You German person!"
-Unknown Swiss Soldier, 1944.
Though he probably said it in German.

Me: Was soldier, became ex-soldier because not very good soldier. The price of bullets / magazines never cross mind when bullets come other way from other side. That gets noisy.

"You don’t want to burden your troops with more weight"
The U.S. military: I’d beg to differ
Marius: Yeah I don't understand why you'd want to do that either.
oh noes the body armor weight was the only real weight added. And it saved lives.
To be fair, your average soldier in WW2 did A LOT MORE walking than your average modern US soldier "oh noes, I have to get out of this HMMWV and ride in LMTV and the ride in helicopter for an hour....". Things are hugely more mobile and mechanized now. Fighting was a lot more direct back then, so even though moving around is a bit easier, weapons shoot A LOT further now too (much more accurately nowadays also), so actual infantry combat outside of special operations isn't as common either "Should our platoon rush into that building full of enemies or make a phone call to HQ and have Paladin 25 miles away (Or drone launched from a base 200 miles away, or cruise missile from 500 miles away) make that building disappear? Hm.... decisions..". In WW2 they didn't have a choice, if they wanted to clear a building they had to rush face first into machine gun fire. Just saying that moving/shooting as an infantryman, and things like weight, were a lot more relevant back then.
@@times05 there was a lot of building clearing done in Iraq and Afghan. And there was still fair amount of foot patrols.
@@times05 Yeah, and they carried about 80 pounds. So a lot.
"You do not want to burden your soldiers with more weight."
Fun Fact: During the Iraq War, Iraqi soldiers would call US soldiers donkeys in reference for how much stuff they are carrying
Or that they were just asses in the eyes of Iraqi soldiers
Roman legionnaires were mules for the same reason.
And it conditions soldiers to be strong, increase their stamina, and aid in combat. Otherwise, a capitol could be overrun...
@@zoch9797 not sure about that. After serving in the air force, my stepfather developed severe back problems and his body could hardly handle extreme levels of physical work.
Not sure how much physical activity he was doing in the air force, but he served in Afghanistan and he has a really bad back.
@@zoch9797 Conditions only make us stronger to a point. We are not finely tuned machines as humans, we are imperfect, and time only makes it worse.

Indeed, he does long 1 shot videos. I'd say a key part of doing so is his ability to recover from mistakes. Most people when they make a mistake will cut at that point and start a second shot. He however, turns the mistake into a bit of mild humor and then continues on.
"How many times have you gone to war with one of these, eh ?"
There's a point to be made here by asking a very similar question :
"How many times has the swiss army gone to war with one of these, eh ?"
Nonetheless a brilliant video as always !
Switzerland, despite never or rarely going to war (my memory is bad right now) have an awful lot of highly trained and elite soldiers due to the fact that Switzerland is the breeding ground for mercenary armies. So of course they would know about warfare.
@@nguyen-vuluu3150 cool
But experience is the key element here. Life and death is a bit different than training and theory. Though I do respect their army, in war I'm sure they would hold up very well, their problem is numbers for sure.

There's one more issue that people don't usually think of; reliability. Manufacturing reliable magazines on a mass scale is extremely difficult and a single magazine allows you to specially fit a magazine to a rifle and make sure it feeds properly.

Does not the Swiss Army rifle also fold out into a harpoon gun, a rocket launcher, a flame thrower and a device for getting stones out of horses' hooves?
don't forget the bottle opener and corkscrew, vital for troop morale.
Also has a katana and MG-42
Fold-out entrenching tool, cherry pie compartment, collapsible half-track, it's all there.
You forgot the katana bayonet, arrow- lightener, and Spandau magazine.
STEN GUN
FUCK THE SPANDAU/ MG42
you forgot to mention - there were actually some clips which were made out of hardened cardboard.
so they were easily disposable, very cheap AND any leftover remains was self degradable.
i think during winters it was actually even harder to spot where the enemy would have been due to the nature of those cardboard clips.
these were usually used for a sniper rifle during WW1 and WW2 from what i understand.
with a metal clip you couldn't rely on your disposed clips to not be found by the enemy.
and with a metal magazine you were actually in a disadvantage from the same reasons you stated: more weight, having to store them on your vest after use, longer rifle reload times etc.
Also, the bullets were made of toffee and the rifle was made of marzipan.

My favorite thing about internal magazines is the fact that you can pretty much always top them off whenever you want to or need to. So you could have a couple of Clips but also a couple of loose rounds to top off.
Another reason for stripper clips is so you can go see the corpsman after you've lacerated your hand using one of them.

We would have tried to defend our country. We would have retreated into the alps and let Fritz come to us. It would have been a costly victory for the Axis. (Cuz have fun trying to shoot your rifle without tank support in 2 meter snow above a 100 Meter drop in the alps)
@@VelascoAnastasi Actually only Swiss Army had it but they were neutral so they never had to use it. Very good rifle too but also expensive.
@@Necroscat Like everything Swiss then
I thought that was a rather obvious case of humor but seems I was wrong.
Also, the Swiss actively guarded their borders and fortresses during the WWs so ... technically they went to war with them.
To be fair, the removable magazines on older military rifles (eg Mausers & SMLEs) were detachable for cleaning/maintenance etc. They were not designed to be replaced quickly. They WERE designed to be quickly fed via clips.
Regarding your last point about the magazine getting in the way, I have heard that when going prone with an M16/AR-15-style rifle, it's much easier to aim while prone with a 20 round mag than it is with a 30 round one.
Bench rest shooting is easier with a 10 than a 30.
Depends on terrain. Often you can rest your magazine on the ground to give yourself some added stability.
@@joshuathatcher8614 it's not as stable as your handguard/rail on something, or your elbow. Do we do it/teach it? Sure but that's because idiots like to magwell grip and move their elbow around a lot if it's slightly uncomfortable on the ground and mess up their shot placement post sight in.

Never lend anything to a marine. He'll either break it, lose it, or get it pregnant.
@@Ivan_I99999 And if it was weapon you would need to kill him to get it back. ^^
i love how clumsy this guy is when it comes to magazines but with a clip he could throw it 150ft into the air do a triple front flip and land with the clip already in the weapon.
M1 Carbine magazines were often treated as semi-disposable by US troops in WWII because they became unreliable if you used them for a long time. The US produced a lot of those magazines and troops would often replace their magazines with new ones whenever they could.

The Swiss believed in "Aggressive Neutrality " they bought 12 Bf-109s from Germany before the war started and used them to keep their skies free of German and allied aircraft.

Eventually, magazines could be duplicated to work in every rifle, unlike parts for the same rifle before that. In the beginning they were still considered expendable. The main opposition to them in WW1 was wasting ammo. Hence, magazine cut-offs, until the order was given to fire at will. A different time.

Speaking of soldiers breaking things, my uncle who was in the US Marines said if you locked a group of Marine privates in a room with 3 anvils, an hour later one anvil would be broken, another missing. and the third would be pregnant. I've always loved the imagery of that.

@@jacobgreengas7121 yeah thats what ive always known it as
The main reason it changed was the increase in rate of fire from bolt-action rifles to selective fire ones. Loading five rounds at a time with clips doesn't slow your ROF too much with a Lee-Enfield, it started to become an issue with an M-1 Garand, which was addressed by making them 8-round double-column clips, but trying to load a modern 5.56mm rifle with a 30-round magazine from stripper clips would be a colossal PITA and be a serious disadvantage when you needed to reload in a hurry and keep firing.

@@Redneck322 I can see where you are coming from in regards to refugees and free speech as well as the lack of action against Antifa. Under Merkel herself the "right to defend yourself" hasn't really changed and I believe the number of weapon owners in Germany has even gone up.
Not really sure what any of those (except for freedom of speech) has to do with Hitle though. The Nazis were very much liked and supported by German businessmen and allowed private companies to benefit from slave labour in the concentration camps. They actively encouraged every German man to own a gun and they certainyl didn't support "non-Arian" immigration to Europe. The third reich was also about as anti globalist as North Korea is today, leaving the league of nations and isolating their economy.
Merkel should certainly be critizised, but she does pretty much the opposite of what the Nazis did and there really isn't any party in German politics that would do better were it in power.
At least it isn't prejudicial or random like "Kraut" or "N**i".

Definitely someone I'd want in a merry band of post apocalyptic survivors.
An informative video, entertainingly presented.

MOAR DAKKA
It takes only a few words to conjure the creatures of the darkness. Now they emerge from their hobby-cellars, lay down their brushes and look into the light of their screens to respond to a Dakka-Dakka comment.
It is certain. We will take over the world.
Magazines are too safe, you want your soldiers in constant fear of smashing their thumb; builds character.
insane but true
dentistguba Other than that only being an issue for one gun, the M1 Garand, the risk of smashing your thumb is almost nonexistent. When the loaded clip latches in, the bolt still needs bumped forward a bit to start it closing, likewise proper loading technique- as taught to soldiers- eliminates any risk. The majority of thumb accidents are caused by non-trained persons pushing the follower of the empty gun down to allow the bolt to be close for storage. Again, only by being done incorrectly is there any risk. On the other side, the enbloc clip eliminates need to remove or release any magazine and can be reloaded much more quickly than with a magazine. Capacity is the only downside of the garand's design when compared to removable magazines
There is exactely one rifle that has the Danger of doing so but about 10.000 others that dont my friend. And even with the M1 you seriously got got to force it to get your thumb crushed.
Right you are, old chap. Fingernails are for sissies.
Never injured my thumbs using stripper clips. A I loaded hundreds or thousands rounds. Practice practice practice.
this is actually very informative. thanks for the lesson mate
As an Airman in the USAF we were taught to throw the empty magazines into our undershirts. One reason was to save them of course, but the other is so we wouldn't be confused over whether the magazines were full or empty.
Lindy: "Thats how good I am! I can clear a jam!"
No lindy thats how good Swiss engineering is, even the Brits can figure it out.
The brits sure have figured out allot more than the swizz have though eh, saying that the swiss did master the art of hiding.

Damn Swiss engineering.
Better yet, why use clips when you can use magazines AND call them clips? You get the best of both worlds and you get to piss everybody off.

Psychological warfare.
Lol when you said PsyOps it reminded me of one of my fav childhood games Psi-Ops. That was a badass game, I'm nostalga-ing hard now.
I changed it cause i realized i wasn't 100% sure what psi-ops meant and i didn't feel like googling it.
trololololol
im not even interested in this kind of content, but this guy is so brilliant that i finally subbed. awesome content man.

I want to know why some people still buy magazines when there's so much free porn on the internet.
sarcasmo57 do people still buy them? I thought they were just used to decorate waiting rooms these days.
Some people just like the feel and smell of old magazines OK?
Because free porn is not very good at holding bullets, is it?
Porn clips?
Not all magazines are about porn.
"Have a beige point!" How does one earn 'beige points' may I ask?
By cringing loud enough
by saying “um, actually”
On most channels, the fans would just think, "Haha, now I want a _____ point!", but here, we ask what they actually are, how they are sent to us, and what they're good for!
There are many ways, though having a dedication to truth and decency will always be an aid.
Lindybeige I suppoe you could get them by insulting the French!
its a very well made presentation, never lost my focus
Wonderful explanation and humor!
Back when the primary modes of military transport were walking or horses, weight mattered a great deal more than it does today. Take an awkward rifle on a 50 mile hike and suddenly balance and weight is super important.
True, but weight is starting to matter again because of all of the weight your average grunt is carrying on him. On average, a grunt is carrying at least 40 lbs in body armor alone, then there's ammo, rations, water, batteries for all of the electronics on his rifle and for the radios and other gizmos, and maybe a bit of spare clothing, and who what else. By the end, the average grunt might be humping 60 or more pounds depending on the duration and nature of the mission which is why there's been a push by the military to find ways of shaving weight off of everything possible. Of course the joke (or sad truth) is that for every pound they manage to shave off, the brass will simply replace with another pound worth of gear and you wind up back at square one.
Weight is always a concern especially on unmounted patrols. When I was in the Corps i was a 0351 and in addition to my pack, carrier, MG, and ammo I also had to haul a CG rifle on occasion. Despite me rating a pistol I only took it out twice on patrol because I didn't need it and it was bulky and heavy.
Slavik Chukhlebov For the most part you'd be correct but a lot of us still have to hump it several kilometers when on patrol depending on where you are and what unit you're in. It also makes a difference what mos you are. As an 0372 we didnt do as much patrols as we did direct action missions, which granted can be pretty far away from our village or fob. Also from my experience most of the stuff we left behind was because it was broken and useless or we were going so far on foot we only wanted the bare essentials and shaved off everything we didnt need.
Slavik Chukhlebov Also the ammo thing is in my experience a pretty big myth. The weight difference between your standard 7.62 and 5.56 is inconsequential and doesnt make much of a difference. I was issued a mk17 for a while as an 0372 and carried almost the exact same amount of ammo in 7.62 as my buddies with M4s carrying 5.56. In fact I noticed I used up less of my ammo than them because I didnt need as many rounds to put someone down as they did so I could have carried less if I wanted to.
Part of that may have been the type of combat you were in. Soldiers like to forget that while their current equipment isn't quite as well suited to the way they use it as it could be, if it was made the way they wanted it would do poorly in another situation the army might be involved in later.
