  1. Solid content. My two cents: you had your fun. You can't take them with you. Scatter the collections so others can have the thrill of the hunt, as you did.

  2. plus non-interchangeable parts... peak elbonian.

  3. 1:37 keeping the range safety officer instructions and checks in the edit is appreciated and important. Many channels just leave it out of the cut. The "fun" part of shooting must be shown with the "responsible" part of gun handling. 👍 Respectfully

  4.  @markdavis180  A weapon like this, which is poorly suited for dirty conditions, would be ideal for police in small urban areas under threat by guerrillas. If the gun is captured or lost (ejem!), the rough life of insurgency would render them unusable quickly. The lack of interchangeable parts would also be a plus.. only in this sense. OTHER THAN THAT as a consideration... it is a very difficult sell. My 2 cents.... respectfully.

  5. Poor management is the most destructive weapon known to date.

  8. I have always believed that many cease fires were negotiated by a meaningful look and a desire to live. 👍

  9. There is no substitute for dakka....The only thing better than dakka itself is: MORE DAKKA 😀

  10. There are many angles to this question 1-If you fought against overwhelming odds as a resistance fighter... who dares doubt your "love of country"? 2-If you already demonstrated (1) ... what is the excuse to prevent you from doing so again in the future? 3- If the french government already failed to protect you, why would it now expect you to disarm and become helpless? 4- If the french government had already collaborated with foreign invaders...why would you trust them in the future? Governments only want their inhabitants armed when they are used as cannon fooder for their own designs

  11. This is great content It works on so many levels. Historical, firearms enthusiast, and a lightly threaded humane side

  12.  @MadNumForce  "peaceful" requires keeping the weapons Si vis pace, para bellum Farmers, workers, engineers all fine roles.. but you are leaving out the most important among all: CITIZEN

  15. As the battles come closer to dense urban areas, longer barrels are unnecessary I would submit that this reproduction is made with tolerances and fit way above of what could be done/expected in the closing days of the war. Solid content

  24. If I may be so bold Museums have now to compete in the space of mass entertainment In the past, scholarship and specialization were the entertainment for a reduced number of well paying patrons We had museums long before we had Disneyland. But crowds seek entertainment, not knowledge.

  25. 3:26 Where it says "Ballester - Molina" there is a letter h in parentesis (h) means "hijo". This is because, as said in the other video about the .45.... this was the SON of the original Ballester It would make sense that this happened at the high serial numbers, in the later years

  33. As a kid I would love to have a gun that the insides are on display But how wise is to expose parts to dirt and dirty fingers?

  34.  @AnthonyHandcock  If you hated murderous fascists you would rebel against any and all governments. You don't have to wait for foreign facists to prompt you. What you are saying is "MY facist government is better than THEIRS"... or you are benefiting from the status quo

  35.  @AnthonyHandcock  "little mouse inside your head" is an ad hominem attack. Is that your argument? Any government that wants me to die for it... and then wants to disarm me when it does not suit them anymore... is "facist" enough to me

  36.  @romainlapie6362  I don't care. Before going to exile they already failed to provide safety to their citizens Why would you surrender your weapon to the inept government that already failed?

  37. How did they forge the barrels while under siege? Were these barrels rifled? Proofed? Solid content

  40. Is it because of the mid-life as aircraft gun that sights are not particularly interesting for this weapon? Or is it because if you fire enough 0.50 rounds in the general direction of the target something is bound to be hurt?

  46. 3:40 Governments giving guns to people to go die in a meatgrinder ALSO SAME GOVERNMENT taking the guns away when they fear the meatgrinder will turn against them This is what they do not teach in government run schools... Thank you for your "patriotic" sacrifice.. now that you survived foreign tyrants you must submit and disarm to your fellow countrymen tyrants

  52. People that buy originals want to keep them pristine, going as far as not using them at all! People that buy replicas want to use them amd tinker with them. It's a replica, no biggie. The legal and liability issues of selling firearms to people that WILL modify them is unbearable.

  54. Ian researching saga manuscripts = cool👍 The team discovers unknown viking boom sticks = Extra cool 👍👍 They made a reproduction = You just had to show off 👑 They took it to the range and fired the effing thing = No way!!! Hitting a sheep 🐑 by blind luck... that is where the gig is up

  66. Solid content 0:46 "mistake" 🤷 I see this as part of the History itself 😁. These entrenched kernels of half truths, and the later corrections, are the story of the History . They are little windows into the personal, bureaucratic, organizational, archival, and political situation along the years. Historians are falible. Recording these inaccuracies makes for happy little accidents that remind us of that. Authors and readers alike will benefit from this remainder.
