Small Arms of WWI Primer 140: Danish Bergmann 1910

Love you guys! But I did want to say I think the magazine is a bit of red herring. In the day the manual of arms or whatever the Dane’s called it would have “always” used stripper clips and the extra magazine was a “replacement part” more than a combat option. Stripper clips would have been totally acceptable while magazines were pricey! Just a thought
I really like the animation segment for this episode. I think the more contrasting color-coded parts are nice to keep the focus where it needs to be with the narration along with the arrow pointing the critical moments. It seems exceptionally nice and improved on.
Yea I love how those animations take all the complex moving parts and let you see just how each works. It makes you appreciate the kind of genius that goes into making sure the parts move and stop when they need to. Anyone who wonders why most firearms take years to develop need only consider the trouble shooting that goes into getting it right.
As you mentioned reading by Google Translate, when applicable do you recommend OCR then Google Translate or Yandex upload image and one step OCR & Translate?
We use ABBYY scans and then copy paste from there
in german though but.. schweizer waffen magazin. my favorite throughout my teens when one could get them here as standalone. 10issues/year from 2/86 well into the 90s.
but it sure looks WAAAY better than a broomhandle. actually it makes those being a crude insulting bad copie of that dane bergmann. triggerpull sounds an issue with the gripwidth but it seems to group very well. wonder about the feel of a 9x23. offers better mass than standart 124 or 115 9luger.
Even though they may have been going for a thin, revolver like grip on the Bergman, you can tell by Mae's slow-mo video that they missed it. Her finger is curling around the trigger like it was a cheap .22 Derringer because the proportions are all wrong on the gun. The C96 is bad enough, but this is worse.
Wink, wink! "Feels like chocolate to me." This is the best pistol/handgun production yet. Thank you! I like the Bergmann 1908 and 1912 best. More, please and thank you.
Very cool! These pistols are fascinating.
I just love these strange early auto loading pistols. There’s something magic about how steampunk / dieselpunk they are
Same with the early machine guns, just the look of them is striking.
Noticed an odd YouTube thing, thought I'd share it here so you see it more easily. Ordinarily, YouTube doesn't suggest your videos for me to watch. I have to go find them myself. It suggests Forgotten Weapons videos, but not yours. But once I've watched one of your videos, *on that page only,* at least half of the recommended videos are yours. I haven't tried watching Ian's video on a weapon you've covered and checking the on-page recommendations to see if you show up there, but given how many of your videos I've repeatedly sought out and repeatedly watched, I'm a bit disappointed in the algorithm that it doesn't ever suggest your videos unless I've already gone out of my way to find one.
The YouTube algorithm is like a company policy book, you know there is some order to it but good luck sorting it out of madness.
This is the first video I'm watching as a Patron and it's definitely worth it
Mae Responding: Happy to have you aboard!
This is the way. But like a later version of the way.
Hell yeah!
The Bergmann pistols are so sexy. Thank you for finally getting around to this one.
I kind of screams Star Wars to me. Or steampunk. or both.
A Bergmann? A wild Ian might appear...
Mae Responding: The number of videos he put out on the Bergmanns is impressive.
I'm on it like a hobo on a ham sandwich!
