In 2019 the Peoples Liberation Army switched to a Next Generation QBZ 191 weapon system. This is a departure from the bullpup design that they had been using for the past twenty years. The old QBZ 95 was lacking in some major ways. Follow me on insta: https://www.instagram.com/cappyarmy/ In this video we'll learn about China's new military tactics and strategy surrounding this new system. Norinco developed and manufactures this 5.8 x 42mm primary rifle. It looks a little like an AR series clone.

From Bosnia to Iraq the Warrior IFV has served with distinction for many decades so its no surprise the British Army is having such a hard time finding a replacement. In this video find out why this historic troop carrier is such an outstanding vehicle. It has a 30mm autocannon on top and can drive 10 miles per hour faster than the American Military's M2 Bradley. It can also fit one extra dismounted soldier. Mechanized infantry love this armored military vehicle.

In 2008 Sadr City, the fate of Iraq hung in the balance of this final battle. If the insurgents won it would wipe out all the gains from the US Forces Surge. This was the final major combat operations in the Iraq War. The Siege of Sadr City in 2008 was two months of fierce close quarters combat. Baghdad was under attack from constant rocket and mortar fire. Something had to be done. The past few years of war were at stake here. Commander Hort of the 3rd Infantry Division came up with an clever plan to defeat the insurgency. He erected a 3 mile long span of 3 meter high t-walls to shut off the city. The enemy had their AK47's Rocket Propelled Grenades and Improvised Devices. The United States had their M2 Bradley Infantry fighting Vehicle and M1 Abrahams Main Battle Tank. Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cappyarmy/ This concrete T-wall prevented the insurgents from operating with any level of freedom. This final Iraqi War battle meant that the Iraqi Prime Minister was able to keep control of the country. It resulted in a drastically lower level of violence throughout Iraq and Baghdad. The "Green Zone" was safe from rocket attacks following this battle. Task & Purpose is a military news and culture oriented channel.

Follow me on Instagram for live updates: https://www.instagram.com/cappyarmy The QBZ 95 is part of military history. It's the smallest and most lightweight Bullpup out there. The QBZ 95 has distinct curved magazine and top carrying handle. This was a point of pride for the Peoples Liberation Army when they first showed it off in Hong Kong in 1997. The PLA has been using this as their primary weapon every since. But is it all it's cracked up to be? Why are they moving away from this bullpup in favor of a traditional firearm?

Get your Mini Replica here: https://bit.ly/3nVPNak Mechanized infantry will be replacing their old M2 Bradley with a new remote controlled Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle. The US Army will be spending a projected $4.5 billion in total on the program. 5 companies are in the competition including the usual suspects and a scrappy new face. 2028 is the project first year that units will get the new vehicle. Infantry will be transported to the battlefield either the Lynx KF 41, Griffin III, Redback IFV, or the CV 90. With companies like Raytheon, Rheinmetall, Textron, General Dynamics and Oshkosh it's exciting to see what they'll cook up in the defense industry. Each of these infantry fighting vehicles will have better armor, higher firepower and more mobility than its predecessor. Find out why the army is replacing the Bradley and what new vehicles are in the running. This will be a companion armored personnel carrier to the M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank.

The most iconic military vehicle that all light infantry and suburban dads recognize. It was originally meant as a behind the front lines transportation vehicle but the wars in middle east brought it out to the front lines of asymmetrical combat. We quickly realized it wasn't armored for the job and began upgrading its protection and engine to carry the added weight. Technology was taking off and engineers designed remote controlled weapon systems to keep the crew safe inside. One V shaped hull later and the Humvee was starting to become usable right before the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle finally replaced it. #HUMVEE #VEHICLE #INFANTRY Follow Justin Taylor's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/JustinTaylor144 https://www.instagram.com/formerlytalyor

Its an armored personnel carrier armed with a 30mm autocannon unmanned turret. The troop transport is a relic from the Cold War era and the war in Afghanistan. The German Military is working hard to get it ready by 2029 and hopes to export it to as many NATO countries as possible. It failed its combat test in 2020 so what's really gone on here?

Use code: PURPOSE for 10% off your order -- https://bit.ly/3DpPOsH I tested out a real life BFG. What would you do if the the enemy is in a fortified position? A concrete house where your bullets are bouncing right off. Meet SIG's MG338. Designed specifically to eliminate any of those pesky hiding places. Follow the Host: @cappyarmy https://www.instagram.com/cappyarmy Andrew Tucker: @tucker_visuals https://www.instagram.com/tucker_visuals Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/vW4KMgA We found that in Afghanistan the enemy liked to entrench in buildings and fire harassing shots. They liked to find elevated fighting positions that were out of US Forces firing range. This weapon would address any capability gap within the US Forces. It can chew through a building’s walls thanks to its higher kinetic energy. The MG338 is one step down from the 50 caliber machine gun while being the same weight and length as the M240. Around 27 lbs and 47 inches with a 24 inch barrel. If you’re on a patrol in some open mountain terrain your maximum effective range is 800 meters with the M240 and the accuracy starts to drift at that range. You don’t want to have the same range as the enemy you want twice the range. The MG338 has been proven to engage targets at 2,000 meters. But is this machine gun necessary and what new features would it give the next generation of infantry? It’s a real life BFG from doom. The gun that lays waste to every enemy in your path. The MG338 is a big fucking gun and I could feel the power of the round while going full auto on it. The engineers at SIG gave the machine gun a recoil mitigation system so the free floating barrel moves backwards with each shot. The consequence is a smoother ride, lower rate of fire, higher accuracy especially at long range. Reloading belt feds was once a chore but thanks to quality of life improvements it’s much easier with the next generation of machine guns. The feed tray breaks away in the smallest way possible which makes reloading from the prone a snap. Its fascinating when real life future weapons technology appears in culture. We see it in the form of video games and movies. Call of Duty included the MG338 briefly then removed it. The video game version is a lot like its real life counterpart with a high damage profile and low rate of fire. The only difference is in the game our operator has no problem shoulder and hip firing from the standing position. I can confirm that would be impossible in real life. If you were one of the soldiers who was able to fire the M240 standing I would love to see you try that with the MG338. Shooting from the prone dust was kicked up everywhere and the rounds slamming into the berm 50 meters away were like mini explosions. The hybrid steel brass ammo allows this machine gun to fire at higher velocities and with greater kinetic energy. You’re looking at around 6,300 Joules of muzzle energy which is twice the legacy weapons. #NGSW #USARMY #MILITARY

Use code: PURPOSE for 10% off your order -- https://bit.ly/3j0DcQv I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to test fire the SIG Sauer prototype machine gun at SIG Sauer's headquarters in New Hampshire. It shoots a new type of unique ammunition unlike anything anyone has seen before. When I got behind the trigger and fired the new hybrid ammo I could tell what a game changer the MG68 would be for the world of belt fed machine guns. This machine gun will close the capability gap that soldiers witnessed during long range mountain combat in Afghanistan.

From balloons over ancient cities in 1850 to the USAF MQ-9 Reaper UAV: humans have always been fascinated with autonomous war machines. The US is developing a five kilowatt laser Mobile High Energy Laser gun which can shoot down UAVs from miles away. It also has electronic warfare equipment that can jam a UAVs signal and crash it.

In the 60s there was a large gap between the capabilities of spy planes, satellites, and low echelon ground reconnaissance. The answer to this dilemma was the Ryan 147b drone. The pentagon expressed a need for Unmanned aerial vehicles after a series of fatalities involving U.S spy planes, and wanted a way to collect ground data without risking the lives of U2 pilots, which were hard to train, and incredibly expensive to replace. It was the first unmanned aerial vehicle capable of flying over a disputed or dangerous area, gathering information with it’s built in cameras, and safely making its way back to friendly territory to be collected. While collecting information, it could also serve as a decoy against enemy AA, drop munitions on fixed targets, or drop leaflets on enemies for psychological warfare Task & Purpose is a military news and culture oriented channel.

There is a problem with using Infrared laser beams and strobes during night time operations on a modern battlefield. Today's combat zones require ground forces to use a new Enhanced Night Vision Goggles system. The old PVS-14 NVG's and nods gave away their position every time they turn their PEQ15 on.

Did they tip the scales in favor of the Steyr AUG instead of the M16A2 because Colt wouldn't get Australia the license to manufacture? Was the test biased? The fact that none of the Australia Special Forces community use the Steyr makes me suspicious. I'm always cynical about tests but maybe its telling the truth lets look at the data in this video! In this video we investigate the pros and cons of this weapon. It was the first Bullpup rifle to ever be adopted into main stream service as a major country's primary rifle.
