  1. How I read the title: Tonight: Hammond crashes a car, James talks about stuff, and Croatia builds a modern pistol.
    365
  2. Arbitrary and nonsensical arguments made to justify something. That sounds exactly like most politicians.
    226
  3. These are correctable, and if it's as fantastic as he makes it sound. it might be worthwhile to buy the patents/plans and set some modern engineering at it.

  4. Yeah, Ian... This platform isn't going to cut the mustard, unless it makes some substantial changes. When you look through your video feed and unlike youtube you see a mass of locked videos and you can't filter by unlocked videos it just makes people want to turn around and leave. You can't make finding your free content a hassle or you turn away new viewers. Having it all on one platform is great, and makes signing up for extras very accessible, but it needs to be less prominent, on the side or in a different tab. Really it needs to be re-examined from a number of marketing and visual perspectives. But for the moment it is at least an alternative to patreon and in that sense it may well succeed.

  5. The irony, Pylon operated like a 'new kid' who had never made their contracted product before.
    126
  6. Ian sees an embarassingly bizzare, 'unique' gun he wants... "hmmm yes, Elbonia would buy that"
    125
  7. "did you dull the blade of that sword before you put it on display?" "That's not enough you can still swing it, did you cut off the hilt?" "did you snap that bow in half?" "Did you file down that fork?"
    98
  8. I am not even obsessed with guns like some people, I just like mechanical things. You make the content interesting Ian thank you.
    98
  9. I have a feeling you could chamber it, firing seems slightly sketchy. I hope Ian gives you an answer.
    84
  10. Ian's wife when out in public: 🤦‍♀️
    61
  11. Q: Does Ian prefer French toast, or regular toast? Audience: That's not even a question.
    50
  12. He just doesn't know how good they make eyes in Switzerland.
    49
  13. The key to free labour and an ad.
    44
  14. ​ @GeorgiaBoy1961  Just because it outlasted doesn't inherently mean it's superior. It just means it was a US weapon pushed by a nation the size of the US. Which is also why the moronic cartridge preference wasn't just immediately ignored.
    40
  15. Also their level incompetence/negligence itself says yes.
    29
  16. fundamentally you don't even need a gun if you can make IEDs
    29
  17. I suspect that may have been the source of malfunctions. Or people doing it improperly like that one instance.
    24
  18. 'We are pinned down by Kevins!" "Okay... Enjoy I guess"
    22
  19.  Brotato Chip  As the series went on they stopped animating them. Which was sad.
    20
  20. And they're afraid of 3D printers....
    17
  21. Then they waste more time (and money) repeating the process.
    17
  22. Let's be honest, he looks more like hippie Col. Sanders. Except instead of chicken he serves buckets of hot lead.
    16
  23. Historical episodes are the most interesting.
    16
  24.  @heckleypanes4988  It's doing an automated emergency alert.
    16
  25. To the town of Agua Fria drove a stranger one fine day...
    14
  26. I mean they were both sold to American companies....
    14
  27. You can have garbage for $10 or top of the line for $11. "We'll take garbage for $10 and spend $15 doing it"
    14
  28. "Deploying smug face"
    14
  29. "hahahaha do you think this is the real Quaid? ...It is."
    14
  30. I think it's rule 47
    13
  31. I can, with 85% certainty, confirm: green
    12
  32. Another browning style action. Cool trigger, and good workmanship no doubt. But it's a bit like spending millions calibrating a mechanical clock, rather than building an atomic clock.
    12
  33.  @worldtraveler930  Teeth? no, they could come back to life and eat someone.
    11
  34. When I saw this gun about a decade ago, I immediately wanted one... it's now illegal here so that's not so much of an option. But I just wanted it because it was cool anyway, so that's a disappointment, but not worth being upset over. (The money spent on a buyback, and the way the law came into place however...)
    11
  35. No one likes the sound of door closing.
    10
  36. just think of what a lovely grenade launcher this would make.
    9
  37. As he buys every mp5 on the market.
    9
  38. I would always find these around the house expecting there to be cookies inside... Here they were just full of lies and ammunition.
    9
  39. They need to be sued via class action. They are trying to enforce an ever changing (unilateral) contract while also trying to say no contract exists with creators and the obligations they have. And it's for YT sake as well, because the path they are on will have people abandon the platform.
    9
  40. well the person or people who have made an stl file.
    9
  41.  @davehopkin9502  Exactly. They basically wasted that entire round of firearms development, by making a Full auto capable rifle that you couldn't aim.
    9
  42. I am glad others also noticed this. I bet the creator didn't expect his/her work to be appreciated by so many people
    8
  43. I would be interested to hear about more Mexican history revolving around these weapons (Similar to what you do with some weapons of the world wars).
    8
  44. Memely: bang quieter
    7
  45. Better to start with a better gun.
    7
  46. Would it be like Due South only with a Swiss engineer in a German machine shop?
    7
  47. It would be awesome if you could do a series of videos focusing on weapons trials, with all of the competitors, some range time and just side by side comparisons as as well as history surrounding the process and of course the findings/results.
    6
  48.  @GunRoastShorts  I don't think he's a nazi, but unquestionably an @$$#0l3, though the same could be said about me lol.
    6
  49.  @chapiit08  "ugh rural peasants"
    6
  50. BAR: "But I'm me" (unintelligible arnold noises)
    6
  51.  @tommyfred6180  at least not above the sound of a prop, the unmuffled engine, and all of the other whistling on an open cockpit aircraft. hahaha
    6
  52.  @darransmith32  lol that's definitely common to SO MANY THINGS. People are bad at diagnostics.
    6
  53. Sorry, I am not downloading a hyperspecific app. There are already too many apps. I would rather watch through the master app... the browser. But I am assuming you aren't dropping the other platforms so I am not worried.
    6
  54. But probably not the laser dragon from FC3-BD. That thing was the epitome of gratuitous destruction.
    5
  55. Well duh, everyone knows lasers are cooler than guns and 100% the future weapon that we'll have before the new Millennium.
    5
  56.  Echoes  do you often get weird amalgamated sentences composed of words from three different languages? I feel like that is how I would talk most of the time. I already do it to some extent only knowing bits of several languages.
    5
  57.  @Scruffy72  Still cheaper than a 2x4
    5
  58. "I'm a lead farmer M0%#3R F@#%3r!"
    5
  59. At that point in time it was basically regarded like an artillery piece so I guess the price was more justifiable?
    5
  60. Debating opening a shooting range and gun storage facility on international waters off the coast.
    5
  61. I thought it almost looked like they wanted to increase the effectiveness of a punch (via bullets) rather than making a usable ranged backup weapon for melee fighters. *Still... if it had a trigger locking safety (and a stronger trigger), it would be a lot more usable.
    5
  62. Still better than Patreon. Patreon has pulled some seriously questionable stuff, even by YouTube standards.
    5
  63. Can you make a huge fake book to fit all the other books, etc.?
    5
  64.  @zacheurittz9865  A top gear reference inside of a Stargate reference?
    5
  65. In the next Croatian gun video. Can you tell us more about the homeland war? I didn't really follow it at the time.
    5
  66. I am going to put Ultima ratio deus on an asteroid.
    5
  67. Now they just need to shoot fire, and anyone could burninate all the people.
    5
  68. Well, considering the cheapest running & driving, used car now costs $4000 where I live. ...And cell phones cost up to like $3000 (let alone desktop computers and laptops). $7000 or even $10,000 is in the ballpark of so called premium pricing. Though it is about the same as the cheapest new motorcycle.
    5
  69. A Japanese MG based on a French MG, A gun both Ian and his father can appreciate.
    5
  70.  Jonathan Greenblatt  Except gameplay does not have to be the same for every game. a ww1 game that plays exactly like a ww2 game or a modern shooter, might as well be a texture/map pack. That said no game has to be realistic. However, that was supposed to be more of the draw of Battlefield rather than the more arcade shooters.
    5
  71. Could be, but typically humans last better than machines in the cold.
    5
  72. If it shoots nicely and is unique, I can understand why. ...But it is unfortunate for anyone who wants one.
    5
  73. It's not as interesting as you'd think. Basically either modelling the US or the UK, but with minor adaptations along the way.
    4
  74. Watch as Ian pulls something else out of his hat.
    4
  75. So all that endowment goes to... the owners after the museum is sold??
    4
  76. Some old pistols are really weird. But you can still see how they came from revolvers. Interesting to think how some of the norms would be different if we went down a different path earlier on.
    4
  77. Remove the magazine well and suddenly it's a blaster rifle.
    4
  78. "Check out our new gun called, the perfection " Consumers: (Skepticism)
    4
  79. "These garbage rifles made in haste are valuable now" I guess it's true what they say about one man's trash.
    4
  80.  @lairdcummings9092  it is probably a bit louder than some others, but mics tend to pick up certain tones far better than others. That may have played a roll as well?
    4
  81. I never liked this gun's appearance, but having seen its components I appreciate it more
    4
  82. What?👂
    4
  83. At a cost of 30% ...other things.
    4
  84. It looks a fair bit like the pistol from halo 2. (the other way around but you knew what I meant)
    4
  85. This needs more likes.
    4
  86. Given most who survive get sent home with their weapons, and those who don't leave their weapons on the battlefield (a grave offence I know...), and so long as it isn't impairing the weapon... This should have almost been encouraged. Especially if they buy it. Entirely hypocritical that they put it in a museum after.
    4
  87. mmmmm das panzer gebräu. Schaumig und lecker.
    4
  88. Yeah it is, and just seeing the disassembly videos is interesting as well.
    4
  89. Things I did not expect him to say: 1. "Today I'm taking a look at a Shotgun "
    4
  90. They don't need to justify it, it was long done. But understanding the rationale from their perspective and the current sentiment would be educational.
    4
  91.  @eddydiaz2609  Even the early to mid '90s lol
    4
  92. 9-hole Reviews you say...
    4
  93. lol stand-shootzen
    4
  94. So make it like the old jackie Chan movies lol everything is over the top haha
    3
  95.  @InvidiousIgnoramus  User generated captions lol. Also all those random tags/buttons hahaha. But I miss the star ratings system almost as much as the annotations and creator links. Then they could link whatever at any point in their video.
    3
  96. I believe it's referred to as a Burger Mediterranean. *someone had the same thought already lol
    3
  97. Wowsers! I'll get you next time gadget.
    3
  98. Seems like an endeavor worth pursuing long term.
    3
  99. I want one, but I really would have no use for it, even if my country didn't ban them. A lightsaber however would be very useful, but doesn't exist.
    3
  100. It still amazes me, these guns look like they were built yesterday.
    3
  101. When you build a gun specifically for Ian.
    3
  102. "No grenades"
    3
  103. Did some of the names get mixed around during the events, or was it myself?
    3
  104. I have an idea(s) for an expensive but easily reusable method for evaluating MGs in a competition. I also think that having one pool of weapons to share for the competition would allow much more competition, and better competition.
    3
  105. Watching because you said it's the revolver you'd carry.
    3
  106. Have your views warmed somewhat these days? It seemed like it from the videos. Mine certainly have from watching.
    3
  107. To be fair though those F35s are over a decade behind schedule. We all should have ordered something else.
    3
  108. I miss when you used to show your accuracy results with the various components.
    3
  109.  @maosama3695  Not sure how many people caught the Fate Zero reference. But those damned mages. *two in a row lol, nice!
    3
  110.  @damiangrouse4564  Stoner was involved with flying high? huh, who would have guessed.
    3
  111.  @AshleyPomeroy  It was just the excuse the British government made for selling arms to Atlantis.
    3
  112. Yes then he will share it with all of us.
    3
  113. lol. Reminds me of the laptop gun from perfect dark.
    3
  114. Think of how handy it would be during a sword fight. Shoot or stab, or shoot and stab.
    3
  115. That's some sandy mud. I can mail you some better mud.
    3
  116. The timing of this episode seems to coincide with the release of a certain series featuring said weapon. Combine that with Ian's comments on Hecate II, it's almost as if... Ian is also a man of exquisite taste👌
    3
  117. interesting.
    3
  118. People were more bothered by that issue with online stores but it used to happen almost as often with regular Brick & Mortar comparisons. If you don't want it to happen offer price matching.
    3
  119. I would rather own one of these than an m1 garand.
    3
  120. Ain't we just.
    3
  121. I like these comparison/testing videos.
    3
  122. G-wax

  123. ...maybe I will register a new firearms company under that name.
    3
  124. right!?
    3
  125. I still don't like Patreon, so I am not going to go there. Utreon etc., sure.
    3
  126. Weird, I feel as If I have heard the same thing from someone else....
    3
  127. "Kyber Pass, the last gun you'll ever buy"
    2
  128. Isn't there also an older cutlass pistol?
    2
  129. Mauser, Bergmann, mannlicher, they all look basically identical.
    2
  130. It's a snow cone maker.
    2
  131. You say "a realistic game is not what the market wants" But a lot of people, like yourself, were really disappointed by it. EA really aggrivated the issue with BF 2.
    2
  132. I am most impressed that Ian digitized himself to make this episode.
    2
  133.  @shlamimk4664  It feels like undeserved self gratification to read this.
    2
  134. I wish you did a side by side of the different models using your other footage and or photos. Still good regardless.
    2
  135. This gun reminds me of the xm-8.
    2
  136. The impression I got was that Bushmaster was synonymous with low quality.
    2
  137. That's cool. Aside from the mechanism thats pretty close to what I imagined as the ideal handgun.
    2
  138. Though I do really like the self regulating nature of it.
    2
  139. I like the idea, we need sport-dueling.
    2
  140. 🤦‍♀️
    2
  141. This is also a thing I would not be allowed. I would like one but... silly laws...
    2
  142. The exterior looks great.
    2
  143. No mag dump? You didn't want to install a sun roof?

  144. "Wait why are there 6 pedals if there are only 4 directions" Pvt. Kaboose
    2
  145. That's just super.
    2
  146. Only suggestion I can make is to tell them it exists.
    2
  147. When someone's business is hurting these guns exemplify what I suggest as a behavioural/procedural remedy: Do the job so it works and you fulfill your obligation. THEN, when/if you have time, add in that extra effort. DO NOT, spend all your time trying to make the first thing perfect only to fall behind and get mad at the customer rushing you (or you have no money) because you misused your time, and finally delivering only 70% of your promise (let alone that ideal). These guns are a great example of getting 90% of the ideal for 50% of the effort. It's that last 10-15% that sales exponentially in time and money, the closer you try to get to perfection (and "wouldn't it be great if..."). This is why you don't have infinite colour options on your included TV remotes, or an AI in your deadbolt. Going above and beyond cannot be infinite, focus on one or two things your customer actually values (not what you value).
    2
  148. Go vote for Ian in the Gundies.
    2
  149.  @agentcrm  True they cost, but they're also what brings the viewers not the TV content. Were the alternative true people never would have given up tv for YouTube.
    2
  150. I like the logo. I assume it is a sword's hilt? (mostly pommel)
    2
  151. This would be good.
    2
  152. No safety... how bizarre for a military of that time.
    2
  153. YouTube won't let you link to a firearms auction, but they'll advertise cannabis.
    2
  154. Except the game would usually give you a bunch of funny lines at least.
    2
  155. Sorry viewers, I didn't mean to Boer you with history.
    2
  156. I feel like the exposed barrel may have been an attempt at blocking certain entrants or favouring others.
    2
  157. Yeah I was surprised by some of the stuff that is still being sold, and obviously there is a huge ammount now banned.
    2
  158. So that's the gun from Badboys 1.
    2
  159. indeed
    2
  160. lol
    2
  161. How high did your voice go when you said, "Ooh, French Lugers!"
    2
  162. hahaha
    2
  163. Ian staring at the hand waving the pistol with the finger in the trigger guard.
    2
  164. He looks vaguely similar to the import fellow. At a glance, that's who I assumed it was ...until he spoke.
    2
  165. What are your other pistols?
    2
  166. lol ...please don't, I don't want them blaming videogames again. (Yes, I know you are joking)
    2
  167. I bet the Chinese would be interested in this book as well.
    2
  168. or rediscovered.
    2
  169.  @zd-motion6688  I prefer the 210 but as far as I know, Sig just makes products all around. (Except for certain drop safety concerns).
    2
  170. I like the way you did this comparison
    2
  171. It does Magnitudes better than the desert eagle.
    2
  172. I really like that carbine-rifle, at first glance I passed it off as merely a shotgun.
    2
  173.  @zacharyrollick6169  But at what point does one recognize something as a different gun with merely a couple similarities (fundamental components or not)?
    2
  174. It looks cool at least...
    2
  175. Congratulations!
    2
  176. I also would have gone a different route but I don't dislike them.
    2
  177. You know, it has one major advantage. It doesn't look like a real, functional gun and looks like the important part is missing. This may afford you some benefit in espionage, or civil unrest, or crime?? Or maybe the enemy army will always leave your weapons in the field thinking they all broke, play into that stereotypical condescension of opposing forces.
    2
  178. 2 forgotten weapons videos?
    2
  179. Very nice looking 👌
    2
  180. I already put one of my channels on there after watching your first video.
    2
  181. I would prefer history.
    2
  182. "It's not a defect, it's an intermittent firing confirmation safety"
    2
  183. A flash hider not a compensator, interesting choice.
    2
  184. Gravity rifle... not as exciting as it sounds. But as interesting as expected in context.
    2
  185. I think they'd prefer a loud explosion as they are silent every other moment.
    2
  186. Still waiting for him to start some other history channel for everyone to enjoy and learn from.
    2
  187. I am unsure we can fully trust the positivity we are hearing from our news.
    2
  188. This is a perfect opportunity for a collab with the other Ian (Runkle of the Bailey). DO IT! 😀😀
    2
  189. I watched the bug match on Playuer/Utreon. It's a shame, Vector hadn't had the best luck with all of its models but it apparently did a good job here and the more fixed barrel pistols the better.
    2
  190. A news article that's hyperbolic and has caused huge misconceptions!? Nooo, that isn't common at all. That would be like, if their paycheck somehow depended on how attention grabbing the title, and outrageous the content was.
    2
  191. Ian's stuff is always great. ...Like if frosted flakes didn't get soggy.
    2
  192. 50 more years of the ak as it stands seems... unlikely for some reason, I feel like alternative combat will probably see a larger focus.
    2
  193. An investor does not have the authority to directly dictate the actions of a company that is a violation of the corporate veil.
    2
  194. The gun didn't need any changes for the tube?
    2
  195. When you are on a videocall but want to pretend you are on the phone... (Not that that's actually what happened, but it's definitely funnier to imagine it that way XD).
    2
  196. If the integral part is the fire control group then it doesn't make sense to limit what it can be... Unless you can simply update the registry. Like when you paint your car another colour.
    2
  197. I don't know how it performed but it doesn't look too bad.
    2
  198. It does seem to have better proportions now. Or at least is more comparable to other modern rifles which is what we are accustomed to seeing.
    2
  199. ...Or it's all just a coincidence.
    2
  200. it sounds like a browning being fired off in the distance lol.
    2
  201. You know... Back before the war broke out, I used to be a saucier down in San Antonio.
    2
  202.  @lucky_-1y  Yep because they just wanted a ww2 themed call of duty, instead of the trench warfare, period accurate battlefield 1916 we wanted. Babies be like, "aaaa, what is this slow firing garbage gun. I want a machine gun! uuuugh, so duuuumb" Battlefield was good because it wasn't Call of duty, now... You can't even fly planes properly, let alone take off and land, or skipper an aircraft carrier.

  203. naiiiiisu
    2
  204. What if his first hand account was from an enemy? Anyway, I could definitely see prioritizing fire on a guy when you can see their clip fly out, or peaking out of cover when you hear a ping, because you know the other guy is reloading. You also have to consider tones when discussing destructive and constructive interference. But It does seem highly unlikely that it is an EXTREME detriment. The people who would have the most valuable opinion on the matter are either dead from the issue, or were the oposing force. This is the first time I have heard any of this, but myths are often not entirely based on nothing, even if it was merely an instance of one guy getting killed because the enemy could better time their shots or advances. As easy as it is to misattribute something because of the confusion of a situation it is also easy to wrongfully dismiss a concern due to the perception of that same confusion.
    2
  205. Jayne?
    2
  206. Well for one, had they been smart about the whole thing NATO would have had the .280 FAL. But If the US adopted the FAL would the M4 even exist??
    2
  207. This is why you failed that business writing course, you can make it more concise: Bullet Spray
    2
  208. They should, everyone else is doing it these days. "You STOLE, x,y, &z!". Re: "Spoils of war", "British funded historical preservation project", etc. "GIVE IT Back!"

  210. I hear he robbed from the rich and he, gave to the poor.

  213. The fact that so many claims were withdrawn, should be considered evidence of a frivolous lawsuit. But I don't know, that may just be something they can counter sue for should they win the rest.

  214. ugly gun but I like the concept.
    2
  215. I feel like this was inspiration for sci-fi weapons.
    2
  216. I like the grip panels on this but prefer the look of the standard shape. Of course, if it handles better this way then that's the way it ought to be.

  217. The muzzle area resembles the mauser.
    2
  218. Did they steal BFG from Doom? Lame
    2
  219. So, inducing twist and narrowing tolerances would likely substantially improve the accuracy. Specialized projectile construction with different ferromagnetic content distributions, should allow you to play with twist.

  220. Even I am interested in buying a book on the Chinese pistols. I hope you are able to find some detailed information relating to the craftsmen/women who have designed and manufactured these unique but impressive hand made oddities. They deserve some recognition (even if it is impossible to do so by name).

  223. I was hoping.

  224. Oh no YT a gun that fires in repeated succession without individual trigger pulls. Better yank all of your action movies you are selling.
    2
  225. Not just a matter of people but resources as well. Remember Ukraine didn't push back into Russia and take their territory as well, they are fighting from a weakened position while Russia operates as normal on the other side of the border (save for recent drone attacks). They lost a nuclear power plant, they lost their ports, farms, towns, Cities, industries... And they are dumping resources onto the front lines. The country is bleeding, in more ways than one. If they want to reduce Net losses, or dissuade Russia, and end the conflict sooner.... Ukraine probably needs to pull out every ounce of strategy, weaponry, and coordination they have, and push all out. Whatever needs to be done to take out the kergy(?) bridge and cut supply. Followed up with extra pressure. lines, board/capture russian Vessels. Before N. Korea gives them artillery ammunition (maybe it's too late). I know the world (Especially UN) failed Ukraine by letting it happen, (reminding countries everywhere they can actually get away with taking what they want and the rest of the world won't just stamp them out) and letting crimea happen before, but Ukraine may fail itself by allowing a war of attrition. I wish everyone the best of luck, I know it's not an eaay thing and I appreciate their constant sacrifices for their homeland. I pray that the war ends soon and everyone can go home (for whatever little my prayers and foreign support is worth to soldiers on the battlefield).

  228. After learning about all this, Colt may be a symbol of the American dream and ingenuity. But... He's just a charlatan, and represents the worst of that individualistic singleminded pursuit of wealth. His team made a working product, cool. But that's what happens when you take other people's work and pass it off as your own.

  229. Now you have to buy a FAL.

  230. Why do you think Great Britain didn't want to give them guns? lol
    2
  231. I think when/if we widely adopt non-projectile weapons, people will look back and make electro-mechanical pistols and wonder why the hell we didn't.
    2
  232. Are you... pumped about it?
    2
  233. Do these cost notably less than an AR-15, or do these function notably better than other good 9mm SMGs? I just don't see the appeal.
    2
  234. Well considering the circumstances...
    2
  235. Even non-gun enthusiasts should be interested in this.
    2
  236. A fixed front facing magazine under, or over, the barrel would make a lot of sense for firing prone... and it looks cool. (I know the p90 already does it)
    2
  237. There are a lot of those.
    2
  238. I don't know they should also have an extremely heavy rifle so that their troops are still reasonably uniform in build. Besides you don't want your riflemen getting AHEAD of your machine gunner, that's just asking to get shot in the back. No it should be slightly heavier than the machinegun, if anything.

  262. So, why do you think some of these approaches weren't incorporated into the No. 5 development?
    1
  263. For example, the use of alternate materials, action modifications, ...basically everything except the wood (Which I suspect, they could have reduced the amount of material removal to meet an agreeable strength). Do you think practical reasons? Personal disagreements, or just general negative British sentiment toward Canada at the time (given the political situation)?
    1
  264. The thing that I don't understand as an observing party, is why some people today still believe Argentina was in the right. They were a relatively newly formed nation. A colony becoming independent from what they viewed as an oppressive and distant government. ...Then their fairly autocratic leader, decided they would go and try to capture an island well off the coast. Currently populated by other people just like themselves but from another country of origin. Do those individuals not see the hypocrisy in trying to impose external rule by force without regard for the will of the inhabitants?? Do they just not care? (see island want island?) It objectively was just another instance of aggressive expansion in human history. They weren't liberating the people or something. Like if Canada took Alaska right after being founded. Or if the US took Cuba, or if any other nation decided that it liked the look of its neighbour's land.
    1
  265. Aside from the magazine release, I like pretty much everything about this gun's design.
    1
  266. Ooh, but if their claim is actually true they knew it was an issue. Perhaps before the civilian recall. (I don't know the timing for that issue).
    1
  267. I mean, without being there it's hard to say. Sometimes you have the engineers who are being too particular, and sometimes you have the bosses waving them off assuming that's how they are being, and assuming they are a nuissance when maybe it is an easier fix than they had imagined. Perhaps Williams had made a solution to the future problem and it would be brief to implement. For example recording measurements would help, but only take an extra moment per item. No question though, what they did was very impressive... provided some of the details haven't been exhagerated.
    1
  268. The dumbest arguments for .g(uh)-if are "do you pronounced it jate", to which one should reply "gel, geoff, ginger" The next is the argument, "the word it's short for is 'graphics' hence a hard G", to which one should reply, "you have abbreviations that are pronounced by the letter, read as an entirely new word, or a weird mix of both. As a result the pronunciation of individual letters often changes from the original terms. 'SWAughT' vs. 'SW@', ROM (as in CD-ROM), 'RawM' not 'ROhM' " When you create a thing you have the right to name it, if you respect entrepreneurship and invention, you should call it the way the inventor intended. In this case a .gif is a soft 'g' "jif".

  289. I don't remember what it was, but it was a double action semi-auto handgun. The first rifle I shot was a C8. And The first shotgun was... a webley? That new cheap brand whatever it is called. And I fired some cool looking SMG that I could tell you the name of but I believe it started with T and probably wasn't actually legal here... or there was a loophole for servicemen...

  292. Can it be modified to prevent 'slam firing'? I don't really want to take that risk.
    1
  293. So you are saying it was Browning, NOT COLT that made this gun into anything resembling decent?

  294. It's not attractive, but wow. They did a great job designing it for simple disassembly.

    1
  314. With some relatively small changes this could be a pretty solid rifle.
    1
  315. I have to wonder if most of why the BAR was faster was just because of the familiarity. Not only with the BAR itself but also the comfort with the style of magazine from the use of modern rifles. That said it also could have been faster had they done the release with the right hand and the reload/charge with the left.

  329. That... Is a very ugly lower.
    1
  330. I think we would be all far better off ignoring the 1911 and dedicating that time on fixed barrel designs. ...But this is right next door to that so I am somewhat happy. Because tilting barrel is dumb (a functional idea at the time, cheap, but limiting in the long term). But the conversion causes complexity, (and resulting expense) and means less refinement. It is too bad it got pushed beyond a reasonable price though.

  331. 0:04 The face you make when a protoype weapon is made into an abomination.

  338. I recognize the sound
    1
  339. That gun flops around A LOT. It's basically a bullet hose.
    1
  340. By this point these guys can basically just copy every converted auto-bolt gun that came before. Even some of those that turned out to be good (relatively) but too late. As well as actual automatic rifles.

  349. A lot of this could be drastically improved now, and even then, had a slightly different approach been taken.

  350. When deciding whether or not to make something available online the question is, will the profit from increased accessibility outweight the cost of piracy. Typically the answer is yes. However this is a specialty book and if you can order a hard copy online typically you aren't going to get people in that niche market of reference materials who won't buy it because it isnt digital. However, now and then there are exceptions but when there is an exception in digital sales it often is not by a small margin. If it becomes popular outside the intended audience, everyone who can buy it, will buy it. Where as a physical book creates impediments. Anyway, hard copies are fine, just don't think it will prevent piracy entirely (which is why most opt for offering a digital option)

  351. It is cool but I expect there would be a lot of finger pinching.

  358. Glad it's better than you feared.

  359. Whenever people tell me it has to be expensive because of quality parts costs. ....yeah, that's often not how it works. Companies often price themselves out of their market, it may make short term gains but it's never a good long-term strategy.

  360. The slide release seems like a pain.

  363. Cool

  364. The more guns I see with the tilting barrel, the more I dislike it.
    1
  365. Basically the same situation as Cyberpunk. A real issue triggers sharing more issues than would otherwise (earnest or disingenuous) a sort of hate trend.
    1
  366. Colt probably stole that from someone else too.
    1
  367. I really like the idea of mountable and detachable guns in vehicles. It makes the mobile units much more adaptable.
    1
  368. I was surprised and pleased to see the barrel/chamber was monolithic. But I too would not buy the gun were I a target shooter at the time. I would opt for a revolver. The extra rounds make it more practical. Also, I would imagine a competitive shooter would participate in multiple categories. To create a design that would prevent use in any other category would be a nuisance in itself.

  372. How long did that take to get established?

  373. What's worse getting the same gun but now needing to supply an entirely different cartridge at the same time. Or getting a completely different weapon in the same cartridge but requiring different parts and training?

  374. This has some very cool design elements.
    1
  375. 'calibore' Let's be honest that word works better.

  378. The M1 Carbine? So Winchester was right, they could make a better gun than the m1 garand.
    1
  379. I hate in-text references they can be so abhorrently long that it ruins readability. It also wastes a huge amount of ink and paper. Footnotes is a better approach you are right. ...Though I think that it would be ideal to have abbreviated footnote references and a catalogue of references at the end. But Then you would run into the wasted paper/ink/space still. Digital references are vastly superior in that sense but reading from a screen is not ideal.

  383. that red dot is hideous.

  395. An excellent video, thank you. I don't think we have enough data to say concretely that 0.06 seconds isn't down to test variance. Only way to check is have a known adjustable tempo and try to start and stop the timer on the tempo and see what the standard deviation. But at the very least we can see there is no substantial advantage of slam fire (at least with this capacity). In exchange for some safety drawbacks.

  415.  @MrSumphora  I wouldn't say only, but if the evidence suggests it's a majority than it did work more against his point than for it. As he himself wouldn't want to arm criminals, that goes against everyone's interests (...except the criminals). But as others have mentioned there were other home made firearms even without his design.

  416. There was also that steel disk launcher the guy from (demolition ranch?) tested. That was different but pretty cool.
    1
  417. When you want to have a magazine, but you also want to only pull the trigger once.
    1
  418. It is a nice looking handgun. Though from what I have seen I have no interest in owning any pistol without a fixed barrel.
    1
  419. It's nice that Utreon exists, otherwise we would have no good way to watch when YT censors something. Be it demonetzation or other.
    1
  420. Not only did they destroy guns, they polluted the oceans. Good job guys, good job.
    1
  421. We could manufacture a left handed EM2 within a month probably. Rapid prototyping today is very rapid, and if you are merely taking an existing design and mirroring it... that's not even prototyping, that's just micro-manufacturing a reproduction.
    1
  422. I like it. Constraints breed creativity.
    1
  423. I do like it in white. But I would still probably go brown.
    1
  424. I think the Laugo did a lot better than those other pistols you ran, unless I am mistaken. The biggest issue seemed to be your reflex for higher bore-axis pistols.
    1
  425. I would love to see a disassembly.
    1
  426. I don't know how it is in terms of reliability/maintenance or cost, but it certainly seems like the best gun for everyone to adopt at the time.
    1
  427.  @KonradSeverinHilstad  Someone once argued about the Aztecs, but... something about human sacrifice, doesn't sound like having it together.
    1
  428. So if someone found the issue and informed the infantrymen then the chances of this happening would be fairly small. Also that rivet would definitely help.
    1
  429. I would enter if it were legal here.
    1
  430. It would be great to keep that as it is for history's sake. Then make a finished one by replicating its parts.
    1
  431. I am in the minority it would seem.
    1
  432.  @kommandantgalileo  doge fighting?
    1
  433. I could say, "the Johnson is a nice looking rifle". I will instead say, "That's a niice Johnson".
    1
  434. on the bottom face of the slide there?
    1
  435. The most gun-blade of gun-blades.
    1
  436. ...wait, can we Fundraise for Ian to get a musem, we can build a series of steel buildings then accept all of the firearms donated. Maybe raise money by having a range for visitors to try some of the guns with multiples in good condition. I bet we could do it. 2.56 million subscribers, $20+ each... Get some corporate donors... Then Ian gets a supply of arms to make videos without having to be constantly on an airplane. hmmm... tempting to build a business plan. If this gets enough likes and Ian okays it, I will do that.
    1
  437. I bet they would have been able to fine tune it ovet time. On another note, I find myself missing the comparative tests more and more. Could you make just a couple of standardized tests for something like functional accuracy, mechanical accuracy, or malfunction rate? Even if it's not everything, it would just add so much more information.
    1
  438. The slam fire system seems like a very poor concept.
    1
  439. Couldn't they just swap the barrel for a bit more weight?
    1
  440. For a weapon like this (where the weapon's disguise is fundamental to it's function) would you want to document it? Or would you want it's production to be done in secret? Couldn't you examine the metallurgy to date the piece? I mean anthropologists and archaeologisty have been using many thorough dating processes for years, it seems like a trivial question.
    1
  441. ... Have I watched an older version of this video? (Newer version?... I will just search)
    1
  442. LMAO guess how long it takes me to make and edit a video. Let me put it this way, for 20 minutes of video It takes over upwards of 10 hours of editing.
    1
  443. 3:50 Turns out not everything Ian says is canon.
    1
  444. How controllable do you think it would be in a bit larger of a calibre?
    1
  445. I am hoping Ian will one day re-enact pistol trials using replicas.
    1
  446. Man it would be embarrassing it the stemple were better than the Thompson.
    1
  447. I am trying to remember the gun you covered that either went from either a rifle to a machine gun or a machine gun to a rifle. But yesI would say the AK it has had so many divisions and iterations because it was used by so many divergent countries.
    1
  448. 'Asking for trouble' must be Ian's middle name.
    1
  449. More Stretch goals at 1,150,000 please. It's a decent stretch goal
    1
  450. I must be learning from these videos since this is the first time I understood the function of a component before Ian. (In film time)
    1
  451. Makes sense, though irrelevant to me. I appreciate the attempt to inform people.
    1
  452.  @flashfire201robloxlegosand8  hahaha
    1
  453. Or that Latin is a thing?
    1
  454. But it isn't a .44.
    1
  455. I miss when you used to test/compare the MOA.
    1
  456. YouTube's new policy is going to try to crack down on external links. That's not going to end well. Every social media platform (twitter included) needs to be able to allow users to effectively, share and curate the internet. If you can't share a useful link you go somewhere else, maybe it's text, maybe it's discord, Facebook, telegram. But rather than a link that leads you away and maybe you return. Now you don't even go to the site in the first place.
    1
  457. Given the reliability It is somewhat surprising more early guns weren't crank operated. I mean, Is your accuracy really going to be worse than a full auto BAR?
    1
  458. Police and security will want this, just wait. (so long as it works)
    1
  459. To be fair most long time mass produced guns have malfunctions as well. So long as the gun doesn't self-destruct.
    1
  460. When you first cut to the barrel I was like, "...Hmm we're talking about a Lee Enfield now. ok."
    1
  461. lmao
    1
  462. PSG vs W-2000?
    1
  463. Those ports may have merely been intended for observation and extraction. Though the multiple tubes undoubtedly crossed the builder's mind.
    1
  464. I don't know, that first one was still in essence accurate. It will only last a couple of years following the Pandemic. Whatever impact it will be relatively short lived in the broader context. In 4 years if things are still getting worse, that would be confirmation he is entirely wrong. But if not, other than the length of the pandemic (which was based on medical predictions at the time), he would be mostly correct.
    1
  465. Did you mean to say opossum, or skunk, instead of marmot?
    1
  466. Silverman certainly seems underutilized.
    1
  467. Isn't the P90 locked breech?
    1
  468. I can't support Patreon knowing how shady and unethical they have been to creators. I would rather donate directly through a payment processor. Plus they take an absurd amount off the top.
    1
  469. I think I need to be more weary of keys.
    1
  470. If it were still legal here, I would buy one. But I would much prefer if the Alien had this system.
    1
  471. Asding guns and making it harder on himself.

  472. わたしはきた！

  473. How many hours were you at Morphy that day??
    1
  474. It's nice to know this museum takes Czechs.
    1
  475. Sounds good!
    1
  476. I love the brass fountain.
    1
  477. hmmm we should make trigger finger exercising tools. Not grip strength... only trigger fingers lol.
    1
  478. Czech guns👌
    1
  479. It bothers me that the trigger is the bolt release, I would prefer a separate one. Because of weird failure paranoia.
    1
  480. I assume this is a reference to something, and I don't know it.
    1
  481. It's relatively easy to have a tension maxed spring, so you could just crank it until the sound changes (or it just doesn't crank). Perhaps whoever bought their rights can do that?
    1
  482. I don't know why but I am invested in the trials of Calico.
    1
  483. You know... It's a firearm that's legal in my country (for now).
    1
  484. Better than Siberia.
    1
  485. I like the LED idea, I am surprised more guns haven't incorporated it.
    1
  486. But why would you not put the pump action out front like a shotgun?
    1
  487. I shall buy two, name one Aeren and one Meister.
    1
  488. If they end up mounting a bunch of formerly Russian machine guns all over the country👍
    1
  489. More interesting than a regular 1911.
    1
  490. "continue" oops, time to find the first video.
    1
  491. So you're saying this gun can go the whole 9 yards?
    1
  492. Also a box while on a weapon, because it's more compact, can be easily handled on a rest (like laying down) rather than a bulky wobbly drum.
    1
  493. It was a good video! Thank you! Let's all try to convince everyone to move over. It may not be perfect. It may not stay how we want it. But at least, for now, it is a better option.
    1
  494. Wait don't just give money to the petition service not knowing what they do with the money, if he did a kickstarter with all the money you gave he could probably buy his way in.
    1
  495. I see you optid not to get the lager sight.
    1
  496. Looks a lot like that early automatic . but with a ring trigger.
    1
  497. I like the rotary stripper thing.
    1
  498. I don't know,it is less substantial, but a more comforting sound.
    1
  499. so very close to a magazine feed and a belt feed.
    1
  500. cool video.
    1
  501. No, you're not excited at all. 😂
    1
  502. I like this magazine.
    1
  503. As an aside, if you could get some 'gun' cams I think that would really add to the competition videos. 🤔 Helmet or wrist/forearm might be most practical.
    1
  504. Ok Ian, once more. What gun are you holding? 😂
    1
  505. Yeah, it's at least ok.
    1
  506. In Greece they apologize to people by telling them they don't have a SIG.
    1
  507. I wish he had some paper to shoot.
    1
  508. let's play lahti or nanbu
    1
  509. So the real lesson for all these mud/sand tests are to clean your gun as best you can before attempting to fire.
    1
  510. it's ugly and bad, the worst combination.
    1
  511. Now we need it with all of these plus the kurnka plus the Steyr (Steyer?)
    1
  512. This kind of highlights what bothers me about how you say, (roughly) "Guns and ideas that fail, fail for a reason. There's a reason we have what we have: Because it's better". However, there are many cases where you say "this is the exception", enough that in that respect alone the initial concept may not be as good a rule as stated. In those other cases generally by your own telling it isn't because this unique idea is hugely flawed but because of all the other complications surrounding a new product launch. For example as in the case of the pin-fire, a firmly established competitor or norm can hold back a new idea. "dead ideas, should stay dead, they're dead for a reason" is a dangerous generalization to make, and often impedes progress as much as focusing too much on a lost cause (the hard part is always determining which is which). There are an astoundingly large number of more modern technologies now recognized (or in the intermediate) to be vastly superior, but had been proposed much earlier and failed. If each technology was given the same development cycle as the ones currently used many, many, more abandoned paths would be the accepted way now. "This gun just wasn't reliable", well was it the core concept, or the execution? Look at the Auto-Mag. So obviously I am not saying we should go out and re-do everything. However, to say it isn't even worth investigating is probably a mistake (for firearms or more broadly) lest we miss an apex technology. Especially now that manufacturing/design precision has vastly improved.
    1
  513. Armature seems like a poor term to adopt for the projectile/mass/round.
    1
  514. So who wants to start a gofund me, and go get a license to reproduce the BAR with all of Ians changes? We can cal it the McCollum... I would also rechamber the thing for a more popular/modern military round. Merely for sales reasons.
    1
  515. From watching your videos therr are a whole lot of similar weapons, probably cheaper than H&K as well. As far as games go more variety would be good. As far as law enforcement (etc.) I would hope they are testing them on their unique useages and buying the best one based on that. But... I am sure more than we think are just selected based on recognition.
    1
  516. I would not mind having a revolving rifle in Canada, we are mag-cap limited anyway. But I want one in .303 British. Big cylinder 👌 Might even be able to get away with it being semi-auto because it would not look like an "assault weapon".
    1
  517. hahaha We may need more Henry.
    1
  518. Gamer's Nexus has made a video of this too. LOL. YouTube has all this garbage to enable fraudulent copyright claims, but no real effort for all these scams.
    1
  519. A comparison video. Excellent!
    1
  520.  @ForgottenWeapons  Maybe it was a joke? Otherwise a troll of the original online definition? ...or Someone who has a 'news' blog looking to make outrage bait with completely unreasonable interpretations.
    1
  521. Cost and ease of maintenance and construction for weapons of war should be a priority, minor usability modifications can be made easilty, but a gun that's not designed for fixing malfunctions in battle is more of a detriment than an uncomfortable cheek. But I know very well, people will go for a presentation with more polish than practicality.
    1
  522. That comes apart very nicely.
    1
  523. Should've known the FAL dissassembly video would be the lone paratrooper FAL video.
    1
  524. You Tube and google are really pushing for a competitor to take over their market share.
    1
  525. you say LMG I say space gun
    1
  526. It would be amusing if this was the thing that triggered China's disregard for IP.
    1
  527. I don't like AKs.... I don't know why. And while I like the SVD, I don't like this for some reason. 🤷‍♀️ (if it is more accurate or better built, I would probably change my stance).
    1
  528. It's a good day when Ian posts a video on something weird
    1
  529. This video seems.... earlier than usual.
    1
  530. I would want to mandate all ceremonial weapons be functional (and all ceremonial troops must carry live ammo, in painted spare magazines). That way should a terrorist attack, coup attempt, or act of war, occur they are able to defend the citizenry while help arrives.
    1
  531. lol type 95
    1
  532. I have always found this RPG design very displeasing to look at. I don't know why. It just makes me not want to see or be around it. Or to throw it in the nearet trash bin. I don't think it's ugly, there is something else about it.
    1
  533. I miss your tests for some vague comparative purposes.
    1
  534. I cannot differentiate between this and the maxim-silverman.
    1
  535. ...I never got the full bore thing. Every rifle is bored fully to its appropriate calibre.
    1
  536. That action looks sweet.
    1
  537. I want to see you fire it.
    1
  538. I feel like, once you start allowing any variation in the guns the attachments and the cartridges, it's no longer a pure competition of skill. Now do I think there should be a gun competition where the manufacturers hire shooters and then all these things can come into play, yes. But then it is clearly a competition of both the gun and the user.
    1
  539. Seems like it would be more of a danger to oneself than a target.
    1
  540. Did you use a different camera, or doesthe type of light make the difference?
    1
  541. I saw a Firefly reference in the title and clicked.
    1
  542. There is always history, it is just a question of if it is known.
    1
  543. Maybe it's a special forces unit and the date is commemorative of a mission?
    1
  544. partner implies two ways also a contractual agreement. Youtube unilaterally changes the terms of that agreement constantly, that legally would constitution a breech of contract. Which should thereby entitle creators to compensation for any subsequent losses.
    1
  545. I like the colouring a lot. Though if every gun was that colour I would probably prefer the standard black/blued.
    1
  546. But I am not a big fan of the reloading mechanism
    1
  547. Lol the man had quite the Pederson collection.
    1
  548. I think I would have preferred lock be behind safe, but maybe it wasn't possible.
    1
  549. I think the public would have quite liked that.
    1
  550. Lewis Gun seems like he would have been a cool dude. ...And I have no idea how that M1918 managed to fly.
    1
  551. They seem nice.
    1
  552. I see they forgot to manually disable the automatic delivery function.
    1
  553. Me: a .45 Ruby? Coo- oh its just a 1911.
    1
  554. I definitely feel like these are substantial improvements.
    1
  555. 3:55 I have to disagree... well I don't know what the museums you have been to are like, But every museum I have been to has more detail on a single display than a useless wikipedia article. Then if you want precise information you see the archives or a library. I have to say though. Without question the accessibility of detailed information has suffered because of poor or a failure to properly transition the information to digital. What was indexed physically largely is completely free of indexing digitally, and nearly impossible to navigate. Old staff are long gone (so new staff aren't aware of the existence, even if they did they likely wouldn't know the interface) and the new staff can't find it because, the documents are an unsorted database unless you know the title ...maybe. But I agree that because of the access to information on the internet (as a whole) it supplants museums and libraries to a significant extent. You also make an excellent point about the loss of understanding through the prevention of interaction/experience. Which is a historical tragedy.
    1
  556. very cool.
    1
  557. amusing
    1
  558. Do you have a video on the Valmet Hunter? You reference it in another video.
    1
  559. "What was that!?" "...Must have been my imagination."
    1
  560. :(
    1
  561. I didn't even know you launched it until just this moment 17h after this video was posted.
    1
  562. You mean the hi-power could not handle the power? That's almost... false advertising. (Except you know reality)
    1
  563. I know nothing, I see nothing.
    1
  564. Can you do this again with a fixed barrel?
    1
  565. so the best way to refine something is to run it through large scale trial during production 🤔
    1
  566.  @Youllneverfindmeniggaboi  people don't like to aim they just want to run through the doors full auto and kill or die and respawn instantly and repeat.
    1
  567. That approach works until you find yourself owing someone else even more.
    1
  568. In the US they would probably just buy private rifles. lol
    1
  569. *her ... possibly 'er
    1
  570. I just had an idea. I will be back to actually watch the video.
    1
  571. yes "impossible"... (shifty glances) I definitely can't cut it and drill a new hole... (more shifty glances).
    1
  572. So..if you don't close the bolt fully it will fly straight out of the gun?
    1
  573. I think the patents would largely be expired anyway.
    1
  574. Is it pronounced 'Hay-gen', or should I tell someone they're pronouncing their name wrong? (Supposedly Norwegian)
    1
  575. 1:04:30 this is why we don't see many things. It's the "if it works why change it" and the answer is to see if there is an even better way. But as you get more and more guns using the same system it seems more and more preposterous. That is a shame.
    1
  576. That scope
    1
  577. How do you rate it compared to the BAR?
    1
  578. I like the combination! Is there a nickel plated barrel?
    1
  579. At that point should you just have a blow dart?
    1
  580. Cool. Thanks for showing us this one.
    1
  581. Of the GameCube era bond games, Nightfire had the best multiplayer by a mile, and I think Agent Under Fire may have had the best campaign.
    1
  582. Is anyone considering doing this with the FAL? Let's say... Canada? How might you modify a FAL to make it suitable for modern employment.
    1
  583. Just me or does anyone else suspect it was modeled after han solo's blaster lol
    1
  584. So one thing is, the carbon will slow heat transfer but it will still absorb the heat over time. So it may well be that firing at a lower rate or fewer rounds would result in a more substantially cool barrel. At what point the two meet or the carbon surpasses the steel or aluminum... I don't know. But it would make sense that it would. Less heat transfer means less absorbtion, but also less bleed to atmosphere (cooling).
    1
  585. To be fair you are not practiced with the thumb trigger so, the different grouping could merely come down to that. *Ah good you mentioned that.
    1
  586. I enjoyed this history lesson, thank you.
    1
  587. so... I have to ask Why not merely have the gun seal / open a valve when it is locked into the port, and re-load it by removing the gun? It would simplify things greatly, and you could sill have safeties. Insert- twist- fire. Twist, pull out, reload, insert, twist, fire. Sure there is a slight process delay, but these things aren't rapid fire, and cost and complexity are reduced immensely.
    1
  588. To be fair. That is a much larger gun made by a person who knew what a gun was, and likely had more tools.
    1
  589. Do you still take your Alien to matches?
    1
  590. What's the firearm in the thumbnail?
    1
  591. I thought you concluded the lewis gun was better than the BAR? Or is that just in the context of this specific circumstance or this unique model?
    1
  592. ...Has never worked on any aircraft let alone a merlin engine lol
    1
  593. Yeah, YouTube's BS is why I really appreciate you showing me Utreon. My one channel gets more views there than here.
    1
  594. You have now opened it up for all of us to make this comment/joke on EVERY SINGLE ONE of your videos haha
    1
  595. I would but currently illegal to transfer.
    1
  596. If nothing else it should bring the cost down.
    1
  597. Weirdly, not the worst gun we have seen. lol
    1
  598. Marlin seems an appropriate manufacturer given the odd design/shape
    1
  599. Nifty but terrible. It definitely looks very WWI (Even though it's not the right period)
    1
  600. Such gasholes.
    1
  601. Yessssssssss
    1
  602. People talk about Star Wars looking guns. Well, this is a Firefly looking gun.
    1
  603. exactly.
    1
  604. Very cool, both in appearance and design.
    1
  605. This gun looks insanely familiar and I have no idea why....
    1
  606. I like her voice, she sounds like the cool kid.
    1
  607. I think you may be over atteibuting to the obvious potential fault. Lots of good firearms have been made by people without experience in firearms design. It of course plays a role but its significance is likely smaller. General engineering ineptitude or poor leadership may be the core issue. If you see a problem and your boss says "no it's fine, we've already finished with that", that's kind of the end of the discussion.
    1
  608. Just as a hypothetical, would this be more or less unacceptable than discarding the weapon if it was incomplete or damage to the parts replaced?
    1
  609. why is it capped at 480p? (bad connection?)
    1
  610. The oddity is why I clicked. It looks good, I give props to the designer.
    1
  611. Was this pistol the reason guns were banned in Australia?
    1
  612. Side by side range comparison????
    1
  613. So Britain ordered just a few then? lol
    1
  614. We celebrate it tomorrow.
    1
  615. It would be a very long video lol
    1
  616. I too would not have ordered the wobbly gun.
    1
  617. Well there's Playeur
    1
  618. But... Can you use both rear sights simultaneously?
    1
  619. non-lethals make a lot more sense on an aircraft.
    1
  620. I don't want it.
    1
  621. No link?
    1
  622. Such a bizzare bolt handle

  623. I get that having some small degree of access restrictions impedes the ability of picking up a gun impulsively or while in a state of mental instability. Also that by making it inconvenient makes it less likely for criminals (who largely, but not exclusively) operate based on convenience (as most people in general do). But it is also true that if someone is motivated enough (particularly terrorists and criminal organizations) they will find a way however inconvenient, to make or obtain guns. Now, that unfortunately doesn't in itself justify having a gun. But it is a decently strong argument against the rationale for making them illegal.
    1
  624. I like that you got the quote right. "Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle".
    1
  625. Yeah, I get the other guy every action hero at the time had a big revolver for a hero gun. But they were a bit antiquated and not as suave or cutting edge as Flemming was making the character. I think he definitely made the right choice heavily favouring automatics. So Bond wasn't just some cowboy with a gun, he was sophisticated.
    1
  626. This reminds me of a FAL
    1
  627. What is a weapon?
    1
  628. I bet looking back at this, Ian feels slightly embarassed about the pronunciation.
    1
  629. I am not a big fan of the grip design but it looks really well done.
    1
  630. Is the Nvidea .30-30 next week?
    1
  631. This is a cool and intricate gun, but also needlessly so.
    1
  632. So, would you say this model was SIGnificant?
    1
  633. Did anyone hear about the confiscation and NOT suspect sabotage?
    1
  634. Yeah I was interrsted because of the name, the design looks lame now. *Lame may be a bit hyperbolic. It looks uninspired and mundane.
    1
  635. Reminds me of the 80s remote controls for an RC car (but with a barrel on the front rather than a steering wheel on the side)
    1
  636. It looks really well made compared to what else was made at the time.
    1
  637. That Elbonia T-shirt.
    1
  638. The dumbest arguments for .g(uh)-if are "do you pronounced it jate", to which one should reply "gel, geoff, ginger" The next is the argument, "the word it's short for is 'graphics' hence a hard G", to which one should reply, "you have abbreviations that are pronounced by the letter, read as an entirely new word, or a weird mix of both. As a result the pronunciation of individual letters often changes from the original terms. 'SWAughT' vs. 'SW@', ROM (as in CD-ROM), 'RawM' not 'ROhM' " When you create a thing you have the right to name it, if you respect entrepreneurship and invention, you should call it the way the inventor intended. In this case a .gif is a "jif".
    1
  639. Yes, but I want to hear you cover the history of it.
    1
  640. Imagine not abandoning military equipment in the middle east...
    1
  641. Nice
    1
  642. It definitely seems like quite a nuisance to operate. Though... Disassembly isn't too bad.
    1
  643. ...and then the other design has the opposite problem lol
    1
  644. (click buy)
    1
  645. Can you guys take one of these to the range and test what 800m would be like? lol
    1
  646. I think more firearms should use this system, or one like it. It's compact, easy to go prone, high capacity, and still fairly simple.
    1
  647. You mean like the Torkevii Bros. Carpet Co. ?
    1
  648. 27,000 wow
    1
  649. woops I guess not allowed to link to firearms auctions for pictures, I wanted to show everyone this messed up "no.5" I just saw.
    1
  650. Rich people: Giant house - Always Cold Phones for their kids - pay by the minute (Rage when they go over their tiny limit slightly) Most expensive devices - Crappy internet plan (didn't even get a deal) Outdoor toys - barely use them because of the expense Why create such undue stress, just shift the way you spend your money, A HAIR, and life will be so much better. Save $20,000 on your $2 mil + house and you can pay to heat your home, and fuel your boat for years.
    1
  651. I just want to see a military version Alien Adopted.
    1
  652. I wish to see the grouping of a full mag dump.
    1
  653. I think we should convince the Creator of New Grounds to partner with the creators of YouTube to create a propper platform.
    1
  654. "political reasons"? or 'strategic reasons'?
    1
  655. This is the problem, software is decades ahead of adoption and yet few to none make specialized software for companies who need it, meanwhile there are many companies going out of business trying to sell software everyone else makes. This Isn't even difficult to make, it is objecively nne of the most simple software one can build. And if there is software, typically it is really expensive and was made 30 years ago and is somehow still very buggy.
    1
  656. ...Are there stripper clips for the no.5?
    1
  657. ...Now was it just me, or did he default to an Arnold Schwarzenegger "c'maan!"? (When the casings were stuck)
    1
  658. "I have a really cool pistol to show you" Sure jan. *Interesting
    1
  659. I always appreciate your game references.
    1
  660. I could be wrong but... I think the mag for the prototype would fit.
    1
  661. 23:30 is why I was thinking it would have been nice to see each one on paper its own paper to see the standard deviation. Individualy each would be a bit better because you don't have that variation... theoretically.
    1
  662. Hipsters ruined the world.
    1
  663. ?
    1
  664. Is it a drum, or is it a cartridge tin?
    1
  665. It's a cool rifle
    1
  666. 'rifle'
    1
  667. I mean... A fundraiser campaign for Ukraine with excess food and money could put the funds toward weapons.
    1
  668. You are forgetting IP for manufacturing techniques/parts. But If it was provided with the purchase of the equipment then it was already paid for.
    1
  669. hahahahahaha
    1
  670. hahaha
    1
  671. ...what wasn't supposed to happen?
    1
  672. It is a very cool collection. If hope the next owner adds to it, like that Japanese Pederson type rifle.
    1
  673. Their decision to effectively hide old videos is a great way to tank the site and make people look elsewhere for reference material.
    1
  674. I like the title lol.
    1
  675. Is heat mirage the reason for the 'wandering zero' of the no.5 mk1? I don't think you ever told us or tested and confirmed that.
    1
  676. fek
    1
  677. Machining is machining
    1
  678. If it were some sort of handheld singularity cannon, then I would say it's justified.
    1
  679. It looks well made. Too bad about the ammo. I suspect many weapons that failed in trials could be as good or better than the ones that succeeded, were they to have recieved the same development if they continued to the later stages of the trials.

  680. 54:12 Cyberpunk 2077
    1
  681. Once you finish the archive for firearms please expand it to cover other fields, the world is sorely lacking such things.
    1
  682.  @OldSkoolWax  When we said it was made at/by bsa my immediate thought was. "...Might it just be named after the maker as well as the designer? as is typical in common parlance"
    1
  683. I assume there is another video with disassembly and that I have already seen it, lol.
    1
  684. Knowing nothing about guns I always thought of the m16 as 'the' iconic assault rifle. The AK-47 was definitely familiar to me, though I don't know if I associated it with the term assault rifle 🤔. I was never really a fan of them either. Although, I did really respect what I heard in regard to its reliability.
    1
  685. Even now my only familiarity with ther sturmgewehr is what Ian has covered. Though I presume I used it in Battlefield 1942? sterm
    1
  686. It is from the tv series Firefly, Episode 6(?). The episode where Mal gets 'married' I forgot the title. *Our Mrs. Reynolds. That really should have been obvious to me lol.
    1
  687. It looks kind of futuristic
    1
  688. I can only imagine a final version would have more furniture.
    1
  689. How else would they defeat Gandhi the warlord?
    1
  690. I was going to replace it with something that actually fits. *and squishes.
    1
  691. I wish we adopted this rifle in my country. I am not a big fan of the rifle we have.
    1
  692. Yes, yes. Good. Goooood.
    1
  693. cool
    1
  694. I mean... I think it's technically pronounced vauser hahaha

  695. S&W: "Assuming direct control"

  696. Thank you for making the full video free on Utreon. It is good.
    1
  697. is there a machine pistol that would work with this? (basically is there a way to make bad ideas work well).
    1
  698. A nylOn receiver? So if you leave it in the sun it becomes a plasticy grenade?
    1
  699. This HK33 looks very muck like a cetme... though I don't know why it would.
    1
  700. It gets points for looking cool.
    1
  701. This is a 'sub-machine gun' that fires rifle ammunition. ...Either I didn't understand Ian's explaination of what an SMG is, or the conversion made it something else (Like an LMG).
    1
  702. Poor Mendoza, lost to the flood.
    1
  703. The videos with lots of stories are the best.
    1
  704. how much is this experiment costing you?? (Well... ammo is cheaper there, but still)
    1
  705. Sounds like the test had bad scope mounts. *Ah Ian said that was the conclusion. I should stop commenting while watching.
    1
  706. Trying to figure out what the april fools joke is...

  710. What they didn't want to call it the sht wrap? hahaha
    1
  711. More pu-psh videos, excellent!
    1
  712. ....You know very well they were using the same things before.
    1
  713. Probably a case of not getting officers to adopt it in proper usage. If they don't take it seriously you will never see benefits.
    1
  714. Sounds like he took some in the team.
    1
  715. It would have been really cool to see what this might have turned into.
    1
  716. The biggest concern would be extended use in the cold and snow over a campaign or even overnight. If you have a somewhat warm day (or just from a hot gun, I suppose) and you get any moisture in a mechanism. Come nightfall it will be frozen if you didn't dry it in a warm place or disassemble it and wipe it down. If you are using it constantly you might be ok (depending on how much the temperature drops). But overtime you may find that your magazine won't have full capacity. Spring snapping. Bolt jamming. Stuck triggers... who knows. Cold makes for short work of any inadequately built devices. ...Like a certain power grid, lmao.
    1
  717. As much kick as it had, it seems a lot more stable than the garand.
    1
  718. I was wondering which comment would reference GGO, but here it is... at the top.
    1
  719. "This one has gone on quite long enough already." Confirmed, Ian Is wrong.
    1
  720. It might be just the times, but I would rather have a nice wood grip than ivory, bone, or jeweled. I just think it's a nicer looking material and more pleasant to hold.... wait that's not what I meant.
    1
  721. Can you load/feed it through the ejection port?
    1
  722. I enjoyed this style of video. More please.
    1
  723. Seems like a very nice rifle.
    1
  724. I feel like that company name is better suited as a company that sells gardening equipment and razors.
    1
  725. I have such tiny channels, I deleted mine a couple times. ...Then there was the Google buyout change over.
    1
  726. It was a good idea.
    1
  727. I am glad you are doing this, because just like with google, old results are not a priority for YouTube, even if it is still the best video on the block.
    1
  728. If my country allowed pistols still. The only one I would buy is a Laugo Alien.
    1
  729. I hate kick starter. this is one of their more popular campaigns and yet because they have made themselves 'curators' it is nowhere to be found without the link, or a direct search.
    1
  730. * Wait, if you search by popularity and scroll past a whole lot of other less popular ones. You find... this campaign. But they really do have a huge problem with favouring certain things and not others.
    1
  731. How is the accuracy? (from a non-control perspective)
    1
  732. Meanwhile everyone will be shouting at you that you're doing it wrong.
    1
  733. Deja vu
    1
  734. Is there something else you have a passion for that you want to teach all of us? That would be great.
    1
  735. the dog is such an attention whore hahaha
    1
  736. This 1907 is not a pistol it is a mini cannon hidden in pistol clothing.
    1
  737. I am curious to know their general effectiveness.
    1
  738. Sounds like a cool series.
    1
  739. Is that your Jeep TJ? regardless, I feel like that vehicle suits your persona perfectly lol.
    1
  740. It looked cooler from further away.
    1
  741. I like that it's green.
    1
  742. It's a cool internal design.
    1
  743. Apparently Runckle of The Bailey is also up for a Gundie Award. Soon the world will be run by Ians.
    1
  744. Holidays are a thing? I vaguely remember something like that.
    1
  745. I would rather have that than a 1911.
    1
  746. What was that circle of glare when the pistol was being fired? ~4:18 Was that a reflection off a casing or something? Was the camera glitching when it got the muzzle flash?
    1
  747. hahahaha
    1
  748.  @hughjasse7636  which is stupid
    1
  749. I don't like tilting barrels, it's an idea that was useful at the time but it is an approach we have devoted far too much time and money on.
    1
  750. how does the Bern feel? Should it become president or should we opt for a newer model?
    1
  751. I thought about this briefly while watching your video on Bolo/bowie bayonets. I immediately dismissed this idea because a bladed shovel or a trowel bayonet would be blunted whenever used as a trowel. But I briefly entertained the notion of multiple compact attatchments for your rifle to serve multiple roles in a modular way. However, constantly in your videos you explain how fragile guns are (which makes sense, especially if you want light weight or precision). so using a gun for digging/prying seems like a fast and expensive way to disarm your own soldiers. So this trowel bayonet is literally the culmonation of the downsides to all of those ideas. Aka, the worst idea. *Though I guess using the trowel off the gun would be ok...
    1
  752. I really like this rifle. It's like the japanese pederson rifle but with many more complexities.
    1
  753. I can't remember where I saw these in a film....
    1
  754. Ian.... did you just call a turbine a turbin?
    1
  755. You have done it again Ian... for shame. (hahaha)
    1
  756. What if the guy was given the task using the existing frame and this was what he miraculously created to do the job despite the contraints?
    1
  757. Wouldn't a gun smith be the best profession to assemble and disassemble guns?
    1
  758. I hate monthly subscriptions.
    1
  759. sub $200
    1
  760. If I had to guess, they just wanted the cool shot of the mechanical motion.
    1
  761. Is it just that one part that failed?
    1
  762. I like the golfballed look.
    1
  763. Yeah they were definitely giving him the run around. I would have been very suspicious also. Maybe it was that army general coming up with excuses to delay so he could field a rifle for testing.
    1
  764. I can hardly wait for the Markiplier review. Perhaps if there is a version with a shovel bayonet.
    1
  765. I like this gun, the modularity reminds me of the XM-8.
    1
  766. I actually like the brown best.
    1
  767. So, if you got a fixed barrel pistol in .30 super, you could get slightly more out of it.
    1
  768. Basically aerospace companies need to learn to account for the imprecision of the firearms industry.
    1
  769. I assume it would be more helpful with exceptionally powerful pistols. Sights notwithstanding....
    1
  770. It's a nifty little gun, if the accuracy were better it could be quite effective.
    1
  771. That would be interesting.
    1
  772. He's been outside in daylight too many times for this to be true. Must be a werewolf, or Van Helsing.
    1
  773. End of line.
    1
  774. It's like a miniature light machine gun.
    1
  775. Almost at 2
    1
  776. :( I like the long videos.
    1
  777. I don't dislike this either though. It is just no longer something I can sit and listen to for a long period.
    1
  778. I think I will just save them all and watch these more detailed responses all at once.
    1
  779. I miss the Q&A videos, but these new ones seem cool.
    1
  780. Looking back, a gun that isn't an AR15 (even if not quite as good) has value in that it is a more secure investment given the sentiment surrounding guns of that appearance. That is in addition to the fact that different has a value in itself (so long as there isn't a substantial negative sentiment as well), as same becomes boring even if it is the best. That is my professional opinion as someone with a business background, rather than a firearms background. But as always, there are a lot of other factors that come into play when you want to evaluate if something could be successful.
    1
  781. You ought to be.
    1
  782. It seems like there would be a YouTuber event at Shot Show these days.
    1
  783. Well this is the export model, maybe they have better ones in active service.
    1
  784. I wish you used Indiegogo I really don't like supporting Kickstarter.
    1
  785. H9 is cool, but if I ever have a pistol, it would be a laugo alien.
    1
  786. I still think Johnson's design is what people should have gone with.
    1
  787. I feel like Zoe carried the bottom one.
    1
  788. It looks nice at least.
    1
  789. I keep wondering when there will be a cross-over with Runkle of the Bailey. Sooner or later it's bound to happen possibly by accident.
    1
  790. If I were standardizing with someone I would at least make a shared barrel even if the sights don't match, a shared magazine, then any other part I could make interchangable but suitably unique would be.
    1
  791. 6th like 👊
    1
  792. I would rather own this than a 1911 original or reproduction.
    1
  793. I have to disagree with you about your first gun being a .22. You make a good rationale for why the first gun you should learn on should be a .22. However, it fundamentally doesn't matter in the big picture. You can easily learn handling and safety on nearly any firearm. Moreover, the rationale for buying it just because it's your first gun is even lower when you consider how quickly you learn those things. Therefore if getting something else is the ultimate goal, it's really an unnecessary expense. So rent one or go to a range if you want. But do whatever one wants. That said a full auto... may not be the safest starter.
    1
  794. The problem with On-Demand April fools videos is you don't know when people will watch and YouTube doesn't post the upload date, it posts the age (1day ago, 1 week ago, 6 years ago). So people expect it before noon on April first, but don't expect it a day or sometimes evening later (and time zones are an issue as well at that point).
    1
  795. Rare to see such elegant and congruent bayonet storage.
    1
  796. You have to think of it this way (correct or incorrect in reality if pursued), not only "will this gun make a profit?", but, "will it make more profit than some other gun you might make?".
    1
  797. maybe if it were a 2 man weapon that would be fine.
    1
  798. So if it has no barrel it's not a firearm hey? ....
    1
  799. I agree, that is cool.
    1
  800. This entire subject is baffling.
    1
  801. *was at least I am not confident it still is.
    1
  802. If the Kickstarter is doing this well with 6000 people, Imagine how it would do with even 1/10th of the subscribers!
    1
  803. Unique collections are probably more worthwhile at this point as the more stereotypical have been done many times.
    1
  804. Stuff like this is a lot easier to edit and film than some other kinds of content. He mentioned he films several guns in one session. Where as eric the car guy might make 1 video out of 3 days of work. Conversely some news or opinion stuff might get filmed in one sitting with basically no editing or setup.
    1
  805. I wonder if he has a video on that sniper rifle.
    1
  806. You might want to create a paypal donation system on your website rather than patreon so that you don't have to worry about their gatekeeping expanding to "patreon can't support guns! How dare you offend us in such a way Ian"

  807. not mostly everything, but a lot.
