  9. the biggest take away I got from this channel is how smart people were in the old times
    39
  10. The German Sten gun copy was a single man hour as Ian mentioned in that video

  11. have you watched Lord of War? plenty of real ones exist in Africa with full auto ak47s.
    28
  12. 1800 rpm actually

  13. the most dated piece is probably the very old battery. Those cables look like regular consumer AV cables and won't last long either.

  15. Two people really wanted that rifle

  19. 6:00 Who would want to suppress the MG42? It's sound is great part of its overall effectiveness

  20. their arms designers must've been the best in the world by that point after decades of work before and during the war with top resources and funding.

  21.  @Pablo-dw3wd  Well, yes. 70% of the German army was in the USSR for most of the war.

  22. ​ @ThePonchoJoe  it must've been requested by the gun's owner as he never hides markings in other videos. It's hide the markings or don't show the gun at all deal probably
    11
  23.  @LisaAnn777  that's semi auto only
    11
  24. fake it until you make it. the company which created the original DOS operating system was called Intergalactic Digital Research

  25. I usually take 4.20 hours to load my magazines
    10
  26. Just keep it with me, I promise I won't lose it somehow 😅 (or, why not install it in an actual rifle? it's legally a machine gun, so it doesn't matter if you install it or not)

  27. There was nothing to watch really, all the information is in the audio.

  28. Similar to how the federal income tax was introduced to make up for the loss in alcohol sales due to that prohibition. After the alcohol prohibition was removed the income tax remained.

  29. One of the Titanic passengers had a battery powered flashlight in his cane that helped save his life. The technology existed at the time this rifle was being made.

  30. I always assumed guns were simple and all similar copied designs from one another. This channel made me understand and appreciate guns in a totally different way. Thank you, Ian.

    6
  47.  @beargillium2369  yup! there were more electric cars in NYC than gasoline ones for quite a while because of how difficult it was to start up a gasoline engine and how dirty and difficult to maintain it was.
