World War 2 was almost 80 years ago but some WWII weapons are STILL being used on the battlefield today! Some things never go out of style, and that can definitely be said about the weapons in today's epic new video!

I wish they made non-military hardware as long-lasting as this stuff

The Lee-Enfield rifle was the primary weapon used by British and Commonwealth soldiers in World War II. Originally chambered in the .303 British cartridge, the Lee-Enfield was known for being both accurate and powerful.

Back when “military grade” actually meant something…

Jokes aside, the PPsh is such an awesome gun! ROF off the charts!

That’s not a PPS-43, that’s an MP-40 at 2:33

When I was in Iraq in the early 2000s our platoon had a few m2 machine guns that were made by General motors AC spark plug division. Definitely from WW2 but they functioned like new.

Lee-Enfield rifle is quite reliable, durable, and reasonably priced. It is extremely popular with shooters and hunters all over the world, including the United States.

The Maxim and PPSh-41 are my favorites, I also hope we see the T-34 in battle again. Those Soviet WW2 movies would never be the same without these three weapons

[buffbacon]

I always loved the PPSH-41. Didn't know it was actually being used! Amazing video!

[simple-commentator-not-rea]

Its still permanently stuck in my memory how op the PPSH was in call of duty

[hugosinclair]

2:36 notice the PPSH-43 is given the shape of the MP-40, XD

Wait wait wait My father was a World War 2 paratrooper. Are you guys telling me that the plane my father jumped out of in World War 2 could still be in military service today? That's incredible.

You left out Bopors 40 mm auto cannon, developed in Sweden in 1932. A true naval auto canon legend. It is used as standard anti-air gun of WW II navy ships and can be seen in many WWII era naval warfare footages. It is still used extensively by many navy ships around the world today as anti-air or naval gun and shows no sign of retiring. Oerlikon 20 mm auto cannon of WWII era is also being used in many small modern navy ships. It is developed in Swiss in 1937.

I love how the pps43 image was an German MP40 I hope I’m not the only person who noticed this lol😂😅

You’ll never forget the sound of a DSHK once an insurgent has sent a 3-5 round burst in your direction.

9:03 MacArthur: Nuke em
Truman: No!
MacArthur: NUKE EM!
Truman: NO!
MacArthur: AH COME ON!
Truman: You’re fired!

There are so many inaccuracies in this video that it hurts

[birb]

The ppsh is one of my favorite guns to use in tarkov
Simple build and not much customizations and super reliable

“The Lee-Enfield isn't the only piece of World War Two-era hardware that's still in use around the world in 2015. Here are some other examples.” AFTER 120 YEARS IN SERVICE, the venerable Lee-Enfield . 303 rifle's days may finally be numbered.

Can't believe that outdated weapons, if updated to suit modern needs, can last for a long long time in service

[goldenw]

Some of these guns from WWII are in use with military or insurgent forces in ongoing conflicts all over the world. Others are used by police forces and civilians for recreational shooting and hunting.
