Handles the M60 like a carbine. Knows his weapons, for sure.
Anyone know why Shotguns were so popular ?
This is a great post on historically important US firearms. Well done.
Belt fed sounds like Stephen Paddock in Vegas.
Great video glad to see a son and father have the same passion and fun
The m14 rifle is uncontrollable when full auto
Thank you for these videos. I love the history behind them.
his dad has better accuracy
What about the swedish K
Every video is the same! Lol
Fantastic. I want to be a machine gunner when I grow up. 😀
ขอกระบอก1🇹🇭🇹🇭👍
A couple of the first weapons that I was introduced to when I joined the US Army in 1994… the M16A1 and the M60..
When I got to my 1st duty station I was assigned a M16A2 w/M203…
Had a lot of range time with those weapons.
During a training exercise, I won’t ever forget running through the desert near Ft Bliss and carrying the M60. Fricken sucked..
Beautiful,I really enjoyed this .
Also, definitely should have more videos with John in front of the camera
You lost the war!!
The A-1 model of the m-16, was vastly improved over the earlier models, and the CAR -15.
I still posses the 1911 A-1 I carried in Vietnam, ( also a Remington -Rand ) which was manufactured in 1944, and carried before me in Europe during WWII. Currently in retirement. I have fired each one of these guns or variants of them in combat.
I have owned two Ithica’s as a civilian and they were a popular choice among UDT/SEAL’s.
Perfection
1911 is such a beautiful gun. Just as an object it is a delight to look at.
A whole lot of talking.
I"ve used only Federal ammo since forever.
Never once had a dud. Never once had a stove-pipe in my 1911 .45
Remington and Hornaday were the only ones that failed me.
Didn’t recognize you at first with the fresh buzz haha, great video!
When roaming perimeter we carried the M14 but when assigned to the tower we had the M60 and M16. Thanks to the Army guys who was supporting us never had to use mine.
Too cool for school 👍
I don’t have a bucket list, but if I did, shooting a M60 would be on it…
That M60 is beautiful!😁👍
Great video!
Johns best video. The camerawork needs a little improvement though.
I love every single firearm shown in this video and own some but not all.
NICE !! M-60 really ends the show.
FULL METAL JACKET
I clicked so fast
Small Arms Solutions has a great video about why the M16 had problems early in Vietnam. The videos called why I despise the M14 absolutely awesome video
Awesome!! How many firearms do you own in total, Sir?
I gotta get me one of them m60’s to mount on top of my Prius.
He can’t even hit a pot at what, 10ft?
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. The legacy continues on. Thank you.
I like M410
Happy birthday Marine Corps, I like the idea of having the Model 37, the buckshot must of been effective, Thank You
him with a shotgun reminds me of me, clueless
Absolutely fantastic video, I do like the M14 just wish I could have one in the uk.
I can’t imagine having to fight in Vietnam. Traps everywhere, NVA disguised as citizens ready to ambush you and kill all your friends, deep tunnel systems that had to be cleared out personally by tunnel rats, those guys went thru hell and came back to get treated like garbage for it. They deserve so much more respect
Did he just 1-Handed the M60 while holding the Belt-Feed with the other hand while disintegrating those Soda Bottles? Yes he Fcking did and has just achieved Badass Mode!!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
They made a new one but full auto
The M60 is the new Sig 365 after Ckyleritt
He didn’t shoot the Dong 😭
I got Vietnam videos of US, Vietcong, NVA, my US stuff is legit but my Vietcong loadouts are better, I’m the bad guy
When I was in Vietnam in 1967 & 68 I qualified with the M-16, carried the M-14, the M-60 and one you did not have there ,the M-79 grenade launcher. I never cared for full auto, because once you burn up all the ammo, all you have is a club. LOL you have to carry all that ammo with you, at least with the M-60 you usually had a crew to carry your ammo. Funny , way back then I could disassemble them and put them back together, blindfolded. Now I don’t know, it has been a long time.
Wow…….this brought back some memories.
