World War Two
Published 12 Jan 2022Even the best sniper needed a reliable and accurate rifle. During the Second World War, all warring nations fielded designated sniper and marksman rifles, but different manufacturers had different ideas, from optical sights to breech-loading mechanisms, to gas-piston systems. Some preferred traditional bolt-action, others favored the new semi-automatic approach.

A lot of WW2 weaponry is found fascinating by many. This is not without reason, much of it is an impressive feat of design and engineering. That being said, we make these videos to understand why and how these weapons were developed, and their place in history. We do not do this to celebrate this hardware, as these are ultimately death machines.Join the TimeGhost Army: https://bit.ly/HARDWARE_019_PI
