This video delves into the history and specifics of the G24(t) rifle, a German adaptation of the Czechoslovakian vz24 rifle. Following Germany's occupation of Czechoslovakia, they acquired a controlling interest in Waffenwerke Brunn and modified the vz24. Key changes included German sling fittings, while retaining features like the full-length upper handguard and straight bolt handle. Production spanned two years (1941-1942) with approximately 255,000 units made before the factory was re-tooled for K98k production. The video highlights the rifle's lineage and its place in wartime firearms manufacturing.
This video examines the Czech ZK-391 semiautomatic rifle, a developmental firearm designed by Josef Koucký. Developed in 1939 and tested by the Italian military in 1943, it never entered production. The rifle, marked by Waffenwerke Brunn, exhibits mechanical similarities to the M1 Garand, including a rotating bolt and long stroke gas piston. Unique features include a trigger guard that recocks the hammer and an out-of-battery safety integrated with the receiver cover. The video highlights its significance as a Czech design produced under German occupation for foreign trials.
