Video Description

They told him it was illegal to build. They said it would explode in his hands. But on Iwo Jima, Corporal Tony Stein took a wrecked aircraft gun, modified it into a hip-fired monster called the "Stinger," and single-handedly destroyed a Japanese bunker complex. : In this 50-minute full documentary, we uncover the declassified true story of the "Stinger" machine gun—the most lethal homemade weapon of World War II. While other Marines carried standard M1 Garands, Tony Stein, a former toolmaker from Ohio, engineered a franken-gun capable of firing 1,350 rounds per minute. Join us as we break down the forensic engineering behind the AN/M2 Stinger modification, the tactical insanity of Stein’s barefoot charge across the black sands of Iwo Jima, and the tragic mystery of what happened to the six Stinger guns after the war. This is not just a battle story; it is a masterclass in survival, innovation, and the forgotten "Death Machines" of the Pacific War.
