  1. I feel like the fact that "they" are blocking FOIA requests means that there must have been some use, or at least they gave some to someone. If they just never actually got used then I don't see why they would reject a FOIA request.

  2. Just imagine what these smiths could do if they had some training and understanding of the weapons.
    476
  3. Is there anything not at RIA this auction?
    441
  4. "And that's why I have no money left ammunition to shoot at the match"

  5. HAL hopefully it isn't even a suggestion.

  6. Anonymous collector is such a nice person.

  7. TheGoldenCaulk approximately zero, when used against me
    183
  8. I would love for you to revisit this, even if just with a higher quality camera. Shooting, especially showing how that hopper works, would also be great!
    182
  9. No sir. One failure which was the gun's fault. The remainder (an unspecified amount) were due to bad ammo or belts.
    120
  10. Well it's called back*blast* for a reason
    57
  11. I know he's so pretty
    56
  12. Honestly, this seems like all the negatives of both automatics and revolvers
    54
  13. Can't torture POWs if you don't have POWs *Taps forehead
    53
  14. When you're less than 30 seconds into the close up and you're already "WHY?"
    52
  15. SV8812 Please do not have sex with this rifle.
    49
  16. Sometimes the fact that it "hasn't been done before" is because it is actually a bad idea
    48
  17. Doubtful
    47
  18. More "double action to the back of the head for everyone"
    46
  19. Paul Shayter When the Brits were leaving 303 they decided to expend their reserves at a particular base in an extreme stress test of a Vicker's. Something like 5 million rounds over several days, alternating crews. Gun was completely in spec afterwards.
    46
  20. +Grim Reaper you have no idea how Europe works, do you?
    44
  21. Trevor Long technically they were still projectile weapons
    44
  22. I don't see why you would need to reload all 15 before firing again, after all 15 shots you could just load the next chamber and it would be basically a muzzleloader.
    43
  23. 12:55 They are going to meme that
    42
  24. phileas007 except several things, magazine at least
    41
  25. The comment's MVP
    38
  26. Definitely makes sense if you're expecting your troops to be less trained
    37
  27. There are some things that don't work in any timeline
    36
  28.  @chadf9630  Because while they don't tend to work, they still hurt legal gun owners?
    34
  29. Great way to describe the Glock. "No character"
    33
  30. And utterly useless because people can either: Make larger magazines Have more magazines.
    32
  31.  @brokenspine66  Can't tell if trolling or just very stupid
    32
  32. The only other one was the calico(? The helix magazine thing). I saw some reviews and gave up that dream real quick
    32
  33. I thought "rocket ball" was what the Volcanic used, where the powder was inside the projectile.
    31
  34.  @JoramTriesGaming  No, NFA supercedes C&R
    31
  35. Nuubi We should make it dank
    30
  36. I missed something here
    29
  37. Gabriele Ciciriello Not sure what you mean there about overseas sales meaning a lack of support for at home ownership and use, but since Fiocchi makes some odd ball cartridges that basically no one else makes I doubt that will be completely possible.
    28
  38. Ayuka Boldyrev whatever boats your float
    27
  39. Jeff Bangle And now Helsing abridged
    27
  40. Jay Massengill The fact that I can believe that
    27
  41. Some guy at a range I was at was spouting some nonsense about guys "pretending to fire" so that way they'd have rounds while the rest were reloading. I didn't say anything at the time because I thought "at least it's not the ping thing".
    27
  42. Ah Joel's the reason we got checked trigger guards
    26
  43. That stock actually looks a lot more solid than some of the others I've seen.
    26
  44. We have given Ian chances to reveal that he has been captured by the french, and he has not taken them. This leaves only one option:. The French have brainwashed him.
    25
  45. You can always add more pieces
    25
  46. Sheesh, by the time they got them they might as well have just waited for M16's
    24
  47. DerM ann unlike normal rounds which contain only reloadium
    24
  48. You ARE crazy, just not for this
    23
  49. Try breaking the videos into chunks and rewatching if you need to, but there's no shame in saying you don't care for it, even if you bring shame on your entire family for thinking so
    23
  50. Vaasref Yes.
    22
  51. Everything Ian has fun with is meme material
    21
  52. Oh no, is this the one where I have to watch it like a hawk for when Othias bothers you off camera?
    20
  53. We'll hope Ian is perpetually "on the case", since Holmes's other vices were quite destructive.
    20
  54.  @surplusdivision2461  heck, most of the smgs are specifically designed to cost as little as possible
    20
  55. rolf ski But demonstrate that a "stab proof" vest isn't and...
    20
  56. Verbatim So?
    19
  57. thgreatandini oh hush
    19
  58. another thread seems to have worked out that they meant opening the cylinder/ removing the magazine. The 1907 had a heel release, not a button
    19
  59. Some, some, of the single shot to bolt action conversions were worth it
    18
  60. david Kealey Some say he is still looking for the ruler to this day
    18
  61. Michael Berthelsen A lot of people forget how bad black powder is.
    18
  62. Deep South because it fell directly from the cow's tuchas
    18
  63. It was odd enough when Lindy and Skall crossed over
    18
  64. jakekillify Simple answer to the original question: Humans are fragile, animals less so. Slightly less simple: Rounds perfectly suited to maybe/maybe not killing a human are going to leave many game animals (including deer) in pain for far longer than strictly necessary. A single 5.56 NATO round likely will not even kill a deer. Many states have outlawed the use of smaller, weaker rounds for certain game due to this fact. I actually have 30-06 ammo specifically stating that it is not for large game.
    17
  65. I? Don't? Know?
    17
  66. Many of them have
    16
  67. If he can find one I bet he'd love to do a video on it
    16
  68. Only even less usable
    16
  69. He said he would, patience.
    15
  70. I just wear inner ear plugs anyways
    15
  71. I ain't gonna pay for it though, not at 12k
    14
  72. Yeah Ian is mysterious
    14
  73. Same
    14
  74. Ian, why is this an ad?
    14
  75. Hopefully people see this. The two handed comment stemmed from two points: 1 putting a revolver under a leg 2 the heel release and racking the slide
    14
  76. I'm actually glad it didn't work because how in the world was Ian going to source that ammo?
    14
  77.  @missfire9480  The one thing the Brits have right about guns is that suppressors are basically just a check box on their forms.
    13
  78.  @LOUDcarBOMB  And not have to self flagellate every night in penance.
    13
  79. Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh I actually reference MGS3
    12
  80. I mean the PM was available commercially
    12
  81. A Very Disappointed Red Engineer not terribly challenging when all you need is the exterior
    12
  82. Halinspark Because its job was "Shoot once. If you hit, grab enemy's gun. If you miss, run, if you haven't been shot yet."
    12
  83. Doug Bolster "it's a Jennings!"
    12
  84. I'm sorry, it's a nervous tick. *not have
    12
  85.  @1r0zz  Nah, we'd just mostly just ignore it like most government spending.
    12
  86. Anthony Williams He did say it may have had more to do with the ammunition having a hard primer
    11
  87. I mean, you don't have to... If you don't want to
    11
  88. Ian letting his hair down.
    11
  89. Magazines are not actually all that related to the action, as far as reliability is concerned. If a magazine fails but the action is perfect? It's still a failure, but not of the action. This is why internal magazines were so common for so long. It's cheaper to make one good magazine and a whole bunch of good enough stripper clips than a whole bunch of good magazines.
    11
  90. Ola Justin because the deafening noise of the gun wasn't enough
    11
  91.  @snakeeyes941  I assume it's still at least an arm Yup, $1099 list price
    11
  92. Paul Shayter I wasn't trying to correct your story, I was telling a different one.
    11
  93. AHHHHHHH THE COLORS AND SHAPES!!!
    11
  94. Stefan B Mostly ergonomics. Pistol grip is more comfortable than a "rifle" grip. A "barrel shroud" (handguard) keeps you from burning yourself on the hot barrel. A couple of things might have actual battlefield effect but don't actually make the rifle fire more powerful rounds or anything like that. The flash hider is as much for your eyes as the enemy's.
    11
  95. I forgot I was dealing with a community entirely made up of pedants.
    11
  96. "oh it's the United States, let's just go buy some"
    10
  97. Yeah, the shotguns are more an InRange project I feel.
    10
  98. For sure
    10
  99. andrew w I mean if British Officers don't even duck...
    10
  100. KenCab117 *URRRRPPPP
    10
  101. The magazine issue is why internal box magazines were a thing. Poor magazines are a way of getting into trouble even with a decent action.
    10
  102. I'd buy one. especially with barrels in 44/5 or even 32
    10
  103. Hussar The Americans kinda goofed
    10
  104. I mean technically, but since Logistics officers shouldn't design weapons?
    10
  105. Where's my Irish whiskey? Tullamore. Why not both?
    10
  106. I mean he'd dislike it for "French" but I don't think he'd care that it's "not a Spandau"
    10
  107. Doug Bolster so long as they work. I need to find better ones, the ones I have (different gun) don't work well regularly.
    10
  108.  @CaptainCiph3r  They generally don't make unsafe ammo, what with the liability. Far better to make an underpowered round than somebody gets hurt or dead.
    9
  109. I mean she was saying how that was a hard decision and how they want a shootable collection.
    9
  110. RealLuckless Yes, look musical guns/targets up
    9
  111. I'm sorry, is Ian requiring all of us to submit a design or something? I sure didn't get that from the video. It's almost like only the people who want to submit will submit or something. Even worse, I'd wager they understand exactly what they are getting into too.

  112. The Party is All Comrade. But seriously, the Communists didn't exactly like the Imperials.

  113. Roundabouts are generally more efficient than 4 way stops. It's only when there are more than one lane that confusion starts.

  115. It's also a town in the northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan. Possibly some connection?

  121. jakekillify BTW, thanks for asking. Many people would just continue in ignorance, or worse yet make an erroneous assumption and spread it.
    8
  122.  @0115Heather  I don't question any other videos, but this one. Is it actually a joke?
    8
  123. jeemiaas Not to mention that this requires basically normal ammunition, meaning that you don't have to carry it with you "on holiday".
    8
  124. Asking the real questions

  131.  @derekbrogan4241  Or a decom like the AN94 he found
    7
  132. There's an episode of dirty jobs where Mike Rowe helps out a butcher who makes house calls. They shot the cow on location but didn't film the act (went around the corner and recorded the shot). And with Europe having a largely different view of suppressors and a close-in kind of landscape it makes sense to me for them to have it as a "veterinary" pistol. It's also an assassination tool that leaves no casings and is actually quiet. Many benefits.
    7
  133. Sounds like there weren't that many to me?
    7
  134. Don't look directly at the bugs
    7
  135. Matheus Falango The training men received should have been more than adequate to not get bit by the bolt. The forward motion of the bolt handle can be used to keep you safe. Dennis Hakkie Except we didn't get the M14 "a few years after the war", unless you mean Korea. Which is odd because detatchable magazine Garands were heavily experimented with during the war. The thing is that magazines require good manufacturing in a way clips don't. The Garand clip has advantages too, like being able to top off a clip inside the rifle, and not having to worry about retaining magazines like you would with any other detachable magazines. I'd highly recommend Bloke on the Range's videos on the M1. They are quite enjoyable and informative.

  140. anter176 Just because I can 200 hours 5000 kills 2 hours 50 kills 1 hour 25 kills 12 minutes 5 kills ~1/2 kill per minute. That's actually not terrible. Especially from me.
    7
  141. We shall need some information of this exploding bullet. Would the basic idea be that the time from impact to sound heard could be converted to distance?
    7
  142. look alterno No, you really don't. This is a wear issue, not a factory one. And you shouldn't have ammo involved when cleaning anyways, nor should you be pointing it at anything you don't mind a hole in.
    7
  143. This is actually the kludge solution

  144. Thorstein Wolfgangson it might have already

  160. Maybe 25?
    5
  161.  @Laenthal  Dunno why, the 1903 uses a 5 round mag, so that's a little off.

  166. Hey Ian, how often do you yourself buy the guns you profile?
    5
  167.  @milamber319  I believe the insinuation is that the sizing system mentioned earlier would filter out a large number of "imperfect" balls made en mass, which could be either sent to another station or possibly recycled. I can already think of a system that would be mostly accurate by having the balls roll a distance and then fall through several perforated sheets with holes the right size. Misshaped ones would not want to go down (deeper holes would help too), then a sheet with too small holes that makes sure undersized bearings fall through but not the right size ones. Rinse and repeat a few times for better results. Wouldn't be too hard to work out back then either.

  169. Guess Karl is just a friend now.
    5
  170. LordRaa You got it. It will mess with your aim a little bit, unless you actively account for it. The reason it is used is because it's way simpler and cheaper than a closed bolt system.
    5
  171. with a lighter pull
    5
  172. And especially when simply "being armed" is the whole reason the thing exists
    5
  173. Sure.... Umm maybe.... Umm what?

  174.  @barrbrown12  yes, he's spoken on this in the last 5 years lol
    5
  175. Maximo665 so long as the target is only five feet away
    5
  176. Stripper clips are "easy" and cheap, require approximately zero maintenance, and are basically immune to damage in a way detachable magazines weren't at the time. Basically, better to only have to make one intricate and precise set of parts than dozens, if not hundreds.
    5
  177.  @TheRealColBosch  Isn't that really the point? To make you think?
    5
  178. Paul Passat Sure. Not that big a difference anyways, you're hurt either way. Don't touch it.

  179.  @yevenlu3243  Like Montenegro, too much trouble for what you get out of conquering them. Though I fully admit to never caring about that in my strategy games, I like neat border lines too much.

  183. It's been relatively tame

  184. Scott Pochini How long have you been with us? Watch any video of Ian shooting a bolt action.
    4
  185. TheWarloo, Chaine Gaming Hey, no worries. I figured it was a language difference, sorry if I sounded insulting. Basically both the 1918 above and the Berthier use a "follower" to push on the cartridges which then lift the clip. The clip simply holds the cartridges together in a row. Because the five round Berthier rifle was designed to be compatible with the three round clips already in use and the five round clip designed for this purpose;. The 1918's use of the five round clip would at least insinuate or imply that you could use the three round clip as well, but without testing we won't know. What follows is the above Google translated into French, hopefully between the two it makes sense. Hey, pas de soucis. Je me suis dit que c'était une différence de langue, désolé si j'avais l'air insultant. Fondamentalement les deux 1918 ci-dessus et le Berthier utilisent un "suiveur" pour pousser sur les cartouches qui soulèvent alors le clip. Le clip tient simplement les cartouches ensemble dans une rangée. Parce que le fusil Berthier à cinq coups a été conçu pour être compatible avec les trois clips ronds déjà utilisés et le clip à cinq coups conçu à cet effet. L'utilisation du clip de cinq tours en 1918 pourrait au moins insinuer ou impliquer que vous pourriez utiliser le clip à trois tours, mais sans test, nous ne le saurons pas.

  186.  @rztrzt  I'm trying to imagine my old pastor saying it He is a bear of a man, former SA special forces if I remember correctly.

  191. Add to this that there are at least four major dialects of American English (Southern, New English, Midwestern, and West Coast) and it really makes it complex.

  192. He hadn't shot the liberator yet

  193. Not this one specifically, but he has looked at the mk III in the past

  195. Henbot Pardon?
    4
  196.  @T0mN7  I mean he said so himself
    4
  197.  @carterh794  so it's a subcompact 9?
    4
  198. Mongo63a It really depends, but safe sustained firing could be had as long as the barrel remained under water. I'm honestly surprised that flat bottomed water jackets weren't used, though that may be a good indication that they were a bad idea. Edit. I actually looked at the 1917 after reading this and the placement of the barrel at the bottom of the jacket is basically what my mind had meant and also keeps the extra step of flattening the bottom out.

  206. wbbh Tom is and will be missed.
    3
  207. The more I try to find about it, the clearer it becomes that that figure is not useful for developing an entirely new rifle or ammunition, as so many situations call for a weapon to be fired without intending for the shot to actually kill.
    3
  208. You got one for him to look at?
    3
  209. Ian? No. IIRC he shot competition pistol in school.
    3
  210. "yeah, I run the museum"
    3
  211. And then three comments later one about spitting on wood
    3
  212. TheWarloo, Chaine Gaming Actually they are very similar. Neither one has the clip "fixed in the rifle". After that either your translation use or poor English grammar makes your point and meaning kinda hard to understand. I think you mean the "follower" attached to the round piece of metal that swings out from the bottom of the rifle? The Berthier also has that, but it's hidden inside and not seen during normal reloading. This pushes the bullets and therefore the clip up into the rifle and it's why the later Berthiers could accept either the three or five round clips. Watch Ian's videos on the Berthiers for more information.
    3
  213. TheWarloo, Chaine Gaming but so were the later Berthiers and the three round clips worked in that

  223. In my mind just extending the leather out and around the metal should improve the comfort when using it as a carbine, and this thing's rigidity is almost unparalleled in holster stocks.

  251. Odysseus​ apologies, my mind slipped as at the time I was dealing with a couple issues if I recall properly. The truth is that an AR-15 is rarely used in mass-shootings in America, all rifles less than 30% of the time. I have no idea about overseas terrorism, but with the relative simplicity and cheapness of the AK-47 there is a reason it is the "typical bad guy gun". However, the .223 round is a standard NATO round, found in the 5.56. My Ruger fires both (pressure difference, the 5.56 has a higher pressure). I wouldn't find it that strange for them to use it.

  269. The Japanese used sailors as landing troops during WW2 if I recall properly.

  300. farmerboy916 I did read you comment, I didn't agree with it. None of that matters. Patents work a certain way, and we can argue the efficiency of that system. But to say that someone abused that system for gain and then have that person literally die destitute is a little confusing.

    2
  306. There does seem to be a large misunderstanding in the other replies, so I'm going to try to sort some things out and see if it helps. 1. Hunters, of all sorts, are one of the largest sources of conservation funds today. Hunters like hunting, and will pay to keep doing it. 2. Legal big game hunting costs a lot of money these days. The tag alone can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, let alone the costs incurred with travel, such as transportation, hospitality, food, guides, etc. Many of these parties are quite large too, as legal hunts are somewhat rare. If we refer to Africa, most countries require the donation of the meat to local villages. 3. The tags for animals chosen have their cost put almost directly into conservation efforts. From both a capitalistic and hunting standpoint this is good. More animals mean more hunts and more tags. 4. The animals selected for legal hunts are often selected by the local conservation group. They will select the older or weaker animals so that the younger animals can move up. To put it another way, there is a semi-recent example of a rhino hunt in which the animal being hunted was an old male. He was "shooting blanks" so his females were not getting pregnant, but he was still viciously defending his harem, preventing younger and more virile males from mating with them. His removal directly benefited the herd. 4b. This directly relates to smaller game hunters, such as in Michigan, where dear population is at dangerously high levels with some frequency. The animals will literally eat so much during the summer that they don't have enough during winter and many will starve to death. During these times the state will sell "unlimited tags" which allow hunters to kill as many dear as they want so as to control the population. I hope these points have helped to clarify the conversation.

  309.  @clangerbasher  just teasing. Even with bullpups there were basically always carbine variants, if not built, intended. It would make some sense to use those, but that's not what a lot of European militaries did.
    2
  310. No, this ammo sucks for actually killing folks. That's why Ian mentioned the desire for 45 sub guns coming at about the same time.
    2

    2
  317. Jimmy De'Souza You have spent many hours arguing minute details about a gun you don't think is bad in such a way as to say "the Bren didn't have an anecdotal reputation for reliability", calling our support of the gun "lies" or "f*****g stupid" and that the gum had problems you "can't fix". Sounds like you don't think it's bad alright. Lindy said the Spandau was less accurate, not less reliable, though if he did get into it, it was likely the fact that the 42 needed a barrel change about every minute of a firefight. Yes, the only reliability problems came from... The desert troops (who merely had to clean more frequently). To everyone else they were considered reliable, to the point they served for 70 years. Now, I'm done. No use getting deeper into an argument where one side presents historical opinions and the other pretends it does not exist. Good night and I hope you find whatever it is that you're looking for.
    2
  318. Jimmy De'Souza just remember, they only person responsible for your decidedly hostile attitude is yourself. Okay, all I've got is you saying it's bad, could you use your little thinking box and rustle me up some sources? Cause I got you one. Now, ammunition is not just "rattling around" in a magazine. The feed lips and spring keep them in between each other. Maybe you've handled some modern magazines? Well this one works just like that. If the spring was so weak that firing the gun rattled the rounds to the point the rims slipped over each other, it's a bad follower and spring, not a failed magazine design. Really, you got that I copied from. Wikipedia from literally one sentence? I am actually impressed slightly. I admit he probably brought it up originally (I entered the actual discussion later), but that thinking stuff means that I know you don't have to be the one to bring something up to mention it. Now, if that big ol' text wall concerns ya, just one thing: gimme some sources that complain about the Bren that aren't you.
    2
  319. Jimmy De'Souza​​ Springs do degrade under stress, if left long term. My father is a marine, served in the eighties and they told him that too. Ian from forgotten weapons just did a video about an old rifle with a spring loaded battery safety and it no longer functions properly because it was stored long term under pressure. I'm sorry, but I am seeing numerous positive reviews of the Bren (direct from combat users) and very few negative (beyond yours) and it's seen service until very recently and I'm not sure if they quit even then. I could have typed that and not told you it was Wikipedia and you wouldn't have had that to throw at me, but it's my fault for telling you, I see! I posited that if the magazine failed to load rounds it would be corrected, which I would be on a mainline combat weapon. I read through most of the article and the "magazine shaking around during fire" was specifically stated as a problem for concealment, not ammunition feed, which one of us. Is spouting nonsense? You did mention firing in bursts, specifically and most recently "and f*****g shut the f*** up about burst fire you f***"
    2
  320. Randomizer Total methinks you don't quite understand what Ian's job here is lol. Anyone else remember getting dozens of child-themed educational videos in your recommendations on these videos?

  332.  @michalsoukup1021  it was definitely an ad, it had identical talking points to other videos on this gun that released at the time. Worse yet, the gun itself is neither modernized nor parts compatible with OG High Powers, making the gun fill a niche no one really has. The people wanting an original HP will still want an original and the people wanting a modern handgun will find this gun lacking features. Academically it may be better than the original though.
    2
  333. Also, many pistols operate on simple blow back while the pressures of a rifle cartridge prevents that from working out.
    2
  334. Clearly the video has jaundice
    2
  335. Yeah, that's my experience from back when I had an air soft M8. Mag changes were awful, those pegs would get caught up in the pouches. Nowadays, my "extra firepower" on my AR15 is a couple of 40 round mags.
    2
  336. Because you can now get pretty much the same capacity in a very competitive size in larger calibers, and since we exist in a market where stopping potential is valued. Put more bluntly, no one would actually buy them.
    2
  337. farmerboy916 It kinda just turns into a short, weak version of whatever caliber it is. Since modern ammo could use the same powder after all. I admit it'd be a cool novelty, just not a practical choice overall.

  426. Gotta love only one corrosive round fired, just enough to be a bother, nowhere near enough to get data.
    1
  427. I didn't Awwwwww, you awwwwww'd
    1
  428. Did I hear that right, 50,000 rounds per single enemy casualty?
    1
  429. tjp353 I believe it comes from "naught" which means basically" nothing, and shortened nicely to "aught"
    1
  430. Matthew Player I wouldn't think so, in whatever capacity you meant.
    1
  431. Викентий Мадзин And so ridiculously unsafe as to be useless. You have to fire two rounds of you pull the trigger, basically no matter what.
    1
  432. Brains for Dinner As the joke is that he's drunk and seeing double, it would be "both*
    1
  433. +hammerhorde Which is a shame for some, but a blessing for others. Some guns just couldn't handle it anymore (obligatory old guy joke) and there is sometimes no way of knowing.
    1
  434. Aris Witty Naw, no worries mate
    1
  435. Sounds exactly like the FSSF he was talking about
    1
  436. +MrSnakedHD could you link it? It is sometimes hard to find certain videos.
    1
  437. When Ian wards off an assassination attempt during the middle of a video.
    1
  438. Detective John Kimble Naw, I still stink of gunpowder from my range trip earlier
    1
  439. +SgtKOnyx sorry, relistened, six times, as the pistol used a 1.8 gram
    1
  440. +jsm666 it's actually about 4 times the power of my airsoft sniper rifle. And that is mainly the weight, as my rifle has about the same speed, but a 0.3 gram "bullet" instead of a 1.2
    1
  441. correction, 1.8 grams, so six times
    1
  442. so... 1.2 grams at 500ish fps? That's only about 4x my airsoft sniper rifle which fires a 0.3 gram pellet at 475ish fps.
    1
  443. Argon Zavious There are a few dislike bots as I recall.
    1
  444. Dear goodness I had a fright when those crashes happened
    1
  445. I wonder why they call him "The Luger Guy"?
    1
  446. That's an interesting little noise I can hear at the end of a burst. Is that the link?
    1
  447.  @24680kong  You presume incorrectly I believe Ian's video on the Volcanic goes into more detail
    1
  448.  @devindunne  No sir. "Rocket ball" is almost a misnomer.
    1
  449.  @dj1NM3  Either that or the lack of space for powder means basically no power.
    1
  450. That dump pouch had its own ideas about the match.
    1
  451.  @vncube1  Alas, when you're not expecting to sell to many folks using a round it makes sense not to make a consideration for it. It wouldn't be too hard (to my mind at least) to manufacture a conversion kit.
    1
  452. Why would you use a commie round? In all seriousness, it was made for a different group of countries
    1
  453. I'm intrigued by this question as well
    1
  454. Something seemed off to me, does the barrel that fires stop behind the brass cross piece on the front?
    1
  455. Griffyn Pilcher dunno
    1
  456. John Smith dry firing center-fire isn't really an issue, at worst you break your firing pin. On something like this, you'd have that over engineered anyways.
    1
  457. Thomas Mobley that's what you get lol
    1
  458. Tuton25 I feel like some other militaries also have it, but I think American is within reason.
    1
  459. Jack Mcslay While I partially agree with you, that's gonna be hugely subjective.
    1
  460. I think the safety wouldn't be a problem for a right handed shooter using the left hand to rack the slide
    1
  461. Scribe Hammar and worse than a 1903 or SMLE
    1
  462. Just curious what the point of the "cooling test" was?
    1
  463.  @SeLeevi  the corrosion is due to the salts in the primers, if I understand correctly
    1
  464. TheWarloo, Chaine Gaming Here's Ian's video on the first Berthier. https://youtu.be/7g_r_WQfgrs Additionally here's his video on the five round upgrade https://youtu.be/iM0BCU7IAS8
    1
  465. Watch today as Ian maintains composure and delivers the video as he's being abducted.
    1
  466. it's not. I just bought that game and have been through most of the pistols in multi player. They have the browning 190 something and the "first self loading pistol" Ian has also done a video on.
    1
  467. Right up there with the Vox Repeater
    1
  468.  @BleedingUranium  I personally have a little more of a "probably should have been at least issued in the war" kind of thought process, but fair.
    1
  469. Honestly that's probably the only Glock I would buy
    1
  470. It's a shame the foil process is basically unwatchable on Recoil
    1
  471. Should we expect a restock of the patches?
    1
  472. Patches literally sold out within the day. I definitely want all three, but specifically the only dropped once one
    1
  473.  @ForgottenWeapons  Obligatory "Forgotten Ross" comment
    1
  474. Lol, the time between "bang" and "ping" even at 25 yards. .45 sure is a fat little friend
    1
  475. Wait, long bursts? Ian is growing up or has been replaced by a less stingy clone.
    1
  476. Oh my gosh the b-roll
    1
  477. Just scrolling comments and I hear Ian say "fencing sabers" and I clearly need to rewind a bit
    1
  478. Oof
    1
  479. It's been knocking for ten minutes
    1
  480. There are 87 dislikes. Let that sink in.
    1
  481. I felt that in my teeth
    1
  482. theG3guy When you are talking about using the gas meant to push a rifle bullet verses a purpose-built grenade cartridge?
    1
  483. DildoShwaggins So better to actually go out and shoot at other people instead of running a simulation where no one gets hurt? And just so we are clear, I own more than a half dozen firearms and am fluent in their operation and disassembly. I like video games too. No contradiction, I don't have to pay $0.20 a round for video game bullets and I get to mess around with conceptual weapons that do not yet exist.
    1
  484.  @tomaspabon2484  eh? Because reliable, repeatable round presentation isn't trivial, and doing so inside a rifle not originally designed for it can be tricky, that's why I say some were worth it
    1
  485. I know you have to find one first, but I am officially requesting the Smith carbine
    1
  486. Should be fine to just reverse the spring
    1
  487. Unless the round is a dud. Edit: that firing blade should significantly reduce misfires.
    1
  488. Can I just talk to the people who set up the auto dislike bots?
    1
  489. fleurdelispens​ And my brain says it as gah-leel. Don't know why.
    1
  490. Thought that magazine release looked a little hard to use, but it has some wings that extend beyond the trigger guard, doesn't it?
    1
  491. Ian has also penned this: The lesson is, of course, to visually confirm that a gun is unloaded before applying booger hook to bang switch
    1
  492. Hussar So it turns out maybe it was TFB? Ian has owned a Daewoo in the past though.
    1
  493. Hussar Do you mean he needs to do one? Because I think he has.
    1
  494. Remember your Bloke lessons
    1
  495. The ghosts are talking to us through the mic. Probably the sheer quantity of metal
    1
  496. A newbie
    1
  497. Certainly a possibility
    1
  498. I posted a comment to the effect of the last portion of yours, I admit to needing to take a few moments halfway through, and I'm not even actually there.
    1
  499. Since pretty much all of those are battlefield finds? Probably not.
    1
  500. And it does that without remembering that all the artifacts are from within three miles of the museum
    1
  501. The thought that everything there was found on a WW1 battlefield is intense, but then I remember that everything is from an incredibly tiny radius around the museum. Something about that makes the whole thing a bit less detached to me. It's not just "Here's a thousand shovels from WW1.", it's "Men bled and died for this strech of dirt. Here's the shovels they used to try and live a little longer, lower.". It's not just "Here's some old bent rifles from WW1.", it's "An artillery blast took that barrel and bent it. You pray it was on a rack, or stacked in some cute teepee, but you just know it was in some poor sod's hands when it happened.". It's not just "Here's some battle damaged canteens", it's "Dear God so many of these have bullet or shrapnel holes in them, how many of them were attached to men going up over the top?". It's not just "Here's some WW1 barbed wire.", it's "Imagine wading through the machine gun and artillery fire only to get to the other side and you've still got to get through this wire.".
    1
  502. Sometimes things are just in odd places. I mean if a Connecticut Yankee can find his way to King Arthur's Court?
    1
  503.  @planescaped  Could have alternately been shrapnel, but it's certainly sobering to remember that none of the helmets issued to general troops in that time were intended to be bulletproof.
    1
  504. To answer your question, Germany was heavily restricted by the treaties after the Great War, including in total number of rifles allowed. Basically, the Kar98K was the most advanced rifle they had at the time, so they elected to keep those and got rid of many of the older models, though not all of them obviously. I'd definitely recommend Othias's videos over at C&Rsenal
    1
  505. Oh? I'll watch this again and read the description
    1
  506. Wow, a FW video I haven't seen
    1
  507. I also find it dubious.
    1
  508. toomanyaccounts nothing that succeeded, what with modern revolvers using the bored through barrel.
    1
  509. farmerboy916 The man died destitute because he had to spend his own money fighting the court cases. He is not the bad guy. The person who gave him the patent in the first place is.
    1
  510. farmerboy916 Their agreement with White meant that they got almost all the money and he had to sue people who violated the patent. Sounds trolly to me.
    1
  511. +farmerboy916 I think S&W were the actual trolls

  514. TroopperFoFo it's also unstable as crap
    1
  515. I know why BTW
    1
  516. Ian, minor spelling error in the description, FYI. "pistol" should be "piston" presumably. Otherwise great.
    1
  517. No1sonuk That may just be a side effect, useful as it may or may not be. I think it has to do with how the rounds are racked in the magazine, and the worm that moves them
    1
  518. +MrAlumni72 actually, the rounds peeking out looks to regular. it may be intentional
    1
  519. Douglas Fulmer There were a bunch of clicks in one of his segments
    1
  520. maybe we'll get it without the clicks?
    1
  521. That Danish food getting to you? Love the new venue, are we getting a lot of stuff or just a few here?
    1
  522. Wow, the suggestions on this video
    1
  523. That weird flyer though
    1
  524. commando552 Less drop, not necessarily more accurate.
    1
  525. this one is getting all kinds of recommendeds from the "A3"
    1
  526. 411.48 R yup, Ian implied that in a prior video
    1
  527. People complain about the backdrop?
    1
  528. Git em while they're down!
    1
  529. Goodness gracious that bouncing baby blue gun!
    1
  530. It's so chubby!
    1
  531. The pistol looks a little chunky in grip
    1
  532. and I want one now
    1
  533. I'm surprised YouTube doesn't have your other trench rifle as a recommended video. Maybe because you linked it in the video?
    1
  534. Shameless selling out to the dog lover's lobby.
    1
  535. I would personally say to have the safety engaged when removing the magazine on the AK
    1
  536. two recommendations 1: Many AR-15 family rifles cannot engage the safety unless the hammer is cocked. This may be worth mentioning. 2: It would have been nice to have at least one shot of a chamber with a round in it, so people who don't know what that looks like could have a point of reference.
    1
  537. The "3" is in the magazine. He expected to need both barrels per elephant
    1
  538. These are really cool

  542. SongBird because you aren't using the sword anyways

  543. Probably, as I am a stupid American lol

  547. Ammo that builds follow through
    1
  548. No more so than any operating component I suspect
    1
  549. I'll bet that front sight and protectors would be easy to mix up, especially at night
    1
  550. That's... pretty low capacity
    1
  551. +Forgotten Weapons ah. Having never used caps I was unaware
    1
  552. so you had to load it upside down to keep the caps on?
    1
  553. 3:45 Says you
    1
  554.  @clangerbasher   clangerbasher  Certainly a discussion to be had as a military arms procurement system. However, the issue I see is the idea of having personnel going armed. You say that vehicle and building based troops have space for a rifle, but that's not how that's been done generally. These troops tend to be issued (receiving is another issue) smaller weapons, a la the scorpion machine pistol. The MP7 would be basically in the same range. And while today we may have some weapons that make the difference far less distinct, we are referencing an issue that rather hasn't been for 20 years. Additionally, Ian has referenced the fact that bullpups don't seem to work out as well as we would like, even if we are getting there now, maybe. A slight knock, a folding stock on an M4?
    1
  555.  @clangerbasher  NP, some people are dumb though lol Having multiple ammunition streams is not ideal, I'll grant, but with the serious concern about body armor I get why they wanted armor piercing capabilities at home, and the full auto nature would allow for "good enough" when dealing with unarmored foes. Without that concern they'd probably just stick with pistols as rear echelon armaments. What I find interesting is the idea that if everyone has this on the rear lines, what happens after the first wave? When you've used most of your first magazine, maybe even your second? No one would have had much more than that on their person, obviously, so what do they do for resupply? Do the local armories have main line rifles and ammunition for those or just stacks and stacks of magazines for these PDWs?
    1
  556. Where/ how does it eject the links?
    1
  557. May your swords stay sharp! (mysss29) A couple of hooks on the magazine/ on the gun. A similar concept in rails. Or some similar thing
    1
  558. Christopher Schroeder adjustable

  559. Michael Cuellar Was it about Japanese rifles?
    1
  560. +tman008 me neither
    1
  561.  @edwardwood6532  beat me to it
    1
  562. Why is there a forward assist? Secondly, I've thought of a question from this, maybe someone in the replies could help. Does suppressing an open bolt gun result in reduced effectiveness for the suppressor? I suspect it doesn't do much, but an informed opinion would be great.
    1
  563. Charles Adams Same thing, a plastic stick. Pens are multitaskers though, whereas once you use the chop sticks on a gun you probably shouldn't eat with them.
    1
  564. TFW you accidentally watch the whole video. And you needed to sleep.
    1
  565. I'm assuming that the legal issue is in places that have banned the FAL by name?
    1
  566.  @sethrich5998  At least that got going eventually.
    1
  567. Appletank8 true
    1
  568. +Jaey Bob the bullet or grenade version?
    1
  569. lol Ian being slightly pissed
    1
  570. Kinda like how they said?
    1
  571. I wanted to see one thing in my life and it was Ian and Othias fighting with patented plastic pokies but I guess I don't get that now
    1
  572. We never got into that other rifle, did we?
    1
  573. Wait, what are those things on the butt?
    1
  574. Ye Olde Ian
    1
  575. C'mon Ian you're better than this 😂 Did you do the FNC just before?
    1
  576. Several buckets even
    1
  577. Hey Ian, some housekeeping, but almost every recent episode is coming up with playback unavailable on RecoilTV
    1
  578. It's actually a bit of a myth that water is incompressible. It's just at a state such that small pressure changes don't compress it much more. Sort of like how adding a few feet to a thousand mile journey doesn't really matter.
    1
  579. That is pretty cool
    1
  580.  @TheOwenMajor  Yup, good job. Basic firearms safety is surely your forté. Clearly no gun should have a safety, per your requirements. In all seriousness, someone thinking a safety might be too easy to deactivate means they shouldn't own a firearm? That's just nonsense. I personally carry a pistol with no safety, I know to keep the booger hook off the bang switch, that's not the point. Now for the "regular" safety on this rifle. Looks kinda easy to disengage. That might be a negative to some folks.
    1
  581. I dunno about that "regular safety" bit. Seems really easy to push forward
    1
  582. Jimmy De'Souza So swearing and internet shouting and insults aren't hostile? Where did you grow up? You have just spent literally all day saying it was bad. Lindy never claimed that it was unstoppable, so you have also been arguing against a straw man. Alright then "you wouldn't load the magazine full because it would cause feeding problems because the spring was too strong" Yes, the second was a copy of the source from wiki, but is an accurate quote, and I honestly forgot I had sent it. First one is unreadable Second one says the Bren "gained a reputation for reliability" so probably not a good source of it being unreliable. Third is about the Vickers I won't continue, this is such a bad start it isn't worth it. Here's Neil Grant, author of The Bren Gun. “Almost all regarded it as a reliable and effective weapon, and it was striking that when discussing the Bren with veterans who had used it, their first response was almost always the same — a nostalgic smile, and the words ‘It was a great gun, the old Bren …’ or something similar,”.
    1
  583. Just a note on the Bren "...by general consent the finest light machine gun in the world of its period, and the most useful weapon provided to the (French) "maquis" .... accurate up to 1,000 meters, and (it) could withstand immense maltreatment and unskilled use. "Resistants" were constantly pleading for maximum drops of Brens."  Hastings, Max (2013) [1981]. Das Reich: The March of the 2nd SS Panzer Division through France, June 1944 (2 ed.). Minneapolis USA: Zenith Press. http://p.%C2%A0236.ISBN%C2%A0978-0-7603-4491-0.
    1
  584. Jimmy De'Souza​ From the Wikipedia page: The 30-round magazine was in practice usually filled with 27 or 28 rounds to prevent jams and avoid wearing out the magazine spring. The section on the magazine mentions nothing about gravity. Now, a difference of 3 rounds would likely only reduce the pressure a small amount, and if the full 30 rounds was causing jams, I have to assume it was not a weak spring, especially with it being able to support 500 rounds a minute (8 plus rounds a second). As for rimlock, if your magazine has that much spare space for the rounds to actually jump the rim of the next round as a regular fault, that would be corrected, especially since the Bren wasn't a desperation weapon, it was developed and that problem could be corrected. This is especially shown by it being known for reliability. Now, you seem extremely angry about this, and I don't know why. We've been basically cordial. You also disprove your own point when you say we admit Lindy can be incorrect, but then question us instead of yourself. As for the weapons, they occupied different combat roles and cannot be honestly directly compared, which Lindy also said at the beginning of his talk.
    1
  585. Jimmy De'Souza So it turns into fast firing and rather inaccurate or slow and accurate. Also, the MG42 needed to have it's barrel replaced rather often, around a minute of continuous fire.
    1
  586. TK TK​​​ And the ammunition was just carried by the rest of the squad anyways, as a Lee Enfield was not issued all that much ammunition weight. Also, Wikipedia lists the loaded weight of a period Bren as 25 lbs and the MG 42 as 25 as well
    1
  587. n0la Wasn't aware Lindy had made any arguments about German Sub machine guns
    1
  588. Per other commenters the ammunition may be to blame
    1
  589. fredo51 Yeah, maybe. You might be able to inspect the brass and see the evidence of that.
    1
  590. toomanyaccounts But that's kinda a weird thing to happen. I mean it would make more sense if any of them detonated. I have a suspicion that the firing pin may also be worn and not in tolerance, but without the thing in front of me and the tolerances too I'm not able to diagnose.
    1
  591. Was this done by Elmer Keith's grandpappy?
    1
  592. You know, I'm almost surprised little rifles like this never really showed up in the same role as the M1 Carbine, for guys who needed to be "armed". It seems like it would be more showy than a .32 pistol while not being terribly more complex, though admittedly they do use more metal
    1
  593. mo guns I just bought two decent single barrel ones for <150$+ transfer. I think asking ten times that for only one extra barrel and even fewer stocks is somewhat ridiculous
    1
  594. many days even

  595. "another website"

  596. lol that ending

  598. cptreech As far as I can tell that wasn't Remington, but third party companies.
    1
  599. Ah yes, I wanted clash of clans videos because of this.
    1
  600. Are you asking for the current standard issue rifle, or is there one in the background of the video I haven't noticed yet? The standard issue rifle appears to be an AKM.
    1
  601. Perhaps the comment section could aid me with an unfamiliar acronym? UXO?
    1
  602. Don't know exactly what the concern is?
    1
  603.  @fnym9rdsavsffdik9a25  now now
    1
  604.  @0ldFrittenfett  that clears it up, thanks
    1
  605. Whereas I thought it looked way chunky
    1
  606. I thought Patreon was only a few days preview?
    1
  607. I do Not appear to be having trouble with the link. Dunno if you fixed it.
    1
  608. I think even the worst of them would just use the ak
    1
  609. Bad Othias. Let Ian finish.
    1
  610. It is actually surprising how little use that bipod is
    1
  611. At least it was a new low budget ad?
    1
  612. huh, didn't get a notification yet
    1
  613. What was Othias shouting about? The first time, it was clear the second time.
    1
  614. They knew English well enough. It's just humorous now.
    1
  615. Add to this that there are at least four major dialects of American English (Southern, New English, Midwestern, and West Coast) and it really makes it complex.
    1
  616. I wanted realism :(
    1
  617. Alberto Amoruso The stated disdain for Mosins versus IV8888's love for them.CARAMELH0H0B0Y Maybe, but don't think so.
    1
  618. Pekka Rastas Nah, I think the oppositional positions on the qualities of the Mosin make it ironic.
    1
  619. So the loading forces the rims to work and would essentially eliminate rimlock if I'm seeing it correctly
    1
  620. Everyone talking about the related video list getting them here, but here I sit looking for the last one and it's not in that section :(
    1
  621. Hi
    1
  622. This may sound ridiculous, but Ian... You have always looked fat in this video's thumbnail. Which is odd for a thin man.
    1
  623. Ethan Johnson And that's it's real name too
    1
  624. Christopher Rives And we get the video about a month later. I'll take the cost of this being essentially audio only.

  627.  @shanenonwolfe4109  More than a year ago lol Though my points remain valid even if they had "good" reasons. The gun isn't modern and isn't vintage. It fills a niche that is very small.
    1
  628. It was my understanding that Drill Purpose rifles tend to be safer to assume as definitely unsafe for firing.

  629. Just waiting on parts and I'll have a hybrid 2017 WWSD rifle, with a KP-15 lower. Looks like I shan't regret it.
    1
  630. I'm not that familiar with the M14. I legitimately blanched at the fire selector.
    1
  631. Honestly a large amount of the problems with the M16 stemmed from the lack of cleaning the soldiers did... lol of course that wasn't the case. It was largely from the use of sub par powder in the ammunition.

    1
  640.  @warriorwolf77  No, we've put the question forward in a fashion similar to "how would the world change if we never figured out sailing ships" and you've kinda just said "people would just figure out how to do the exact same things anyways, no major differences". The technology, which is "smokeless powder" doesn't ever happen in this example. Suddenly the very propellent used to throw the projectile is working against us. Long term use of either the same barrel or action becomes impossible. Even with modern changeable barrels the barrels must cool before they could be cleaned, making the concept of sustained fire an impossibility with reasonable material requirements. It basically would never pass military muster, just like it historically didn't. I'm not saying people would stop having ideas, I am saying that they likely would have had the exact same ideas they did in real life, and determined that it would be prohibitively expensive for decades past our missed invention.
    1
  641.  @warriorwolf77  Mate, without smokeless you don't get reasonably weighted automatic small arms, beyond multi-barrel things. You just don't get them. "Tech wasn't that far behind" isn't a question of metals, or manufacturing processes, but of it literally being impossible to have a single barrel firearm function after not even 100 rounds without serious cleaning, not just of the bore but also of any action used. Additionally, this would have to happen while the barrel was hot from firing. It's just never going to pass military muster over a relatively cheap manual action rifle or potentially a multi barrel firearm, like a Nordenfeld or Gatling. And notice how long the Gatling had been around and yet was basically unadopted.
    1
  642.  @warriorwolf77  "Automatics are always better than manual actions" This is just incorrect, especially considering the time frame and technology level we are discussing.
    1
  643.  @warriorwolf77  I mean it seriously. It was bad enough getting machine guns adopted with smokeless powder, I don't know as it would have happened without.
    1
  644.  @warriorwolf77  This is true, but remember we aren't talking about today's tactics and tech. Watch C&Rsnal's video on the Maxim if you haven't.
    1
  645. I am less sure, as the logistics of this in a man portable firearm seem... strange. And then it turns into the same question as it was before WW1, would you rather have another artillery piece or a Gatling gun?
    1
  646. For the question put to us at about the 40:00 mark, I think there would be very little that could be pushed through. The best bet would have to be something like the M1 Garand. It's not much of an advancement of time, but I think you could actually convince someone of its value.
    1
  647.  @Dja05  Sure, but the capacity in the same space is maybe one extra round? And the recoil argument is only going to matter to a relative few people.
    1

  673. I can't see why you'd want to still have the side handle if you have the top handle
    1
  674. If they did put this in a leg bag, why not just put the barrel section under the bolt handle?

  689. +SarionFetecuse The difference is rather different. The difference is Americans pay for their own health care, and a lot use "insurance", or paying a monthly fee and shoving the expenses back to the insurer. In Canada and Europe, you pay taxes, and then the government pays for medical care. The issue arises in that government is inherently inefficient, so costs go up or care goes down.

  690. Flemme Werfer I think the idea is to use the "grip" as the stock, and therefore reduce weight and length, but honestly the thing is irredeemable

  712. Seth Rich Well, it really plays into some interesting doctrines. At least for American Military, all men must go armed around an FOB. A limited number of side arms are sent to the base. Officers snatch them up because they can be armed without a heavy, unwieldy rifle to hump around and they get first pick anyways. I do have to yell at CoD for copying Halo and giving everyone 2 weapons in a current day context and then exploding in popularity.

    1
  779.  @thatguy3428  I don't know, it would seem that the crucial hammer cock is the first one, before any recoil has a chance to roll the pistol. As for the latter reason, I feel like a slightly longer hammer face could do the same thing. There's more for the higher hammer that I've thought of though, and that is that the hammer would have more energy, pivoting further from the center. Obviously they went with the high hammer, so it must have been the one that made more sense at the time.
    1
  780. Why was a higher hammer beneficial?
    1
  781.  @PetrHosek  I gotta be honest, that explanation was better than this one, specifically in the explanation that in a roller delay system force can be applied to the rollers and they will unlock, whereas in a roller locked system the rollers cannot unlock from force applied to them.
    1
  782. No, I did still have some confusion after watching both of these, fortunately someone in the replies to a comment shared an old video of yours (the HK P9S I believe) and that video contains the part I was missing. Specifically in the explanation that in a roller delay system force can be applied to the rollers and they will unlock, whereas in a roller locked system the rollers cannot unlock from force applied to them. Thanks @Petr Hošek

  799. Danilo Nakazone They could be for show, the first pistol Ian showed was likely very safe, but the environment of 1920-30's China was not exactly one of personal safety per se
    1
  800. Danilo Nakazone You'd be surprised. Ever watched "Cops"? Ever see them take a suspect after having pointed their gun at them, but not shoot them? Same basic idea.

    1
  805. Dunno if I asked this before, but how is the seal maintained between the pistol opening and the exterior seal coming into place? From the outside it looks like there's some significant time spent with both ends unsealed.

  808. rotgertesla exactly, and other weapons may be developed long before we get useful caseless ammunition. As Ian has said in other videos, conventional firearms are basically done. We are just eking out the last few percent as far as overall efficiency.
    1
  809. Riley Powell I can agree. I like the idea of caseless, but I don't think it will even really work. I think rail guns/ magnetic acceleration cannons would be made practical before caseless ammunition
    1
  810. Riley Powell I'm not saying they act as a practical heat sink, but that the small amount they contain will influence the amount the chamber absorbs.
    1
  811. Riley Powell Actually he's right. The casing absorbs some of the heat and is ejected. That's why casings are hot. Caseless ammunition does not have this benefit and the chamber must be built to withstand the extra heat.
    1
  812. +Riley Powell Its acceptance has been hampered by problems with production expenses, heat sensitivity, sealing, and fragility. Its use to date has been limited to prototypes and low-powered firearms. Wikipedia caseless ammunition.
    1
  813. +Riley Powell Sorry, I misread. The propellant itself will sometimes explode
    1
  814. +Riley Powell some are not, but others are unstable enough to be set off
    1
  815. +Riley Powell The heat from prior explosions can cause the propellant of unfired rounds to ignite.
    1
  816. The rounds can fire from the heat prematurely... Like before they're chambered
    1
