  1. How I read the title: Tonight: Hammond crashes a car, James talks about stuff, and Croatia builds a modern pistol.

  2. Arbitrary and nonsensical arguments made to justify something. That sounds exactly like most politicians.

  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.

  6. Ian sees an embarassingly bizzare, 'unique' gun he wants... "hmmm yes, Elbonia would buy that"

  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?"

  8. I am not even obsessed with guns like some people, I just like mechanical things. You make the content interesting Ian thank you.

  9. I have a feeling you could chamber it, firing seems slightly sketchy. I hope Ian gives you an answer.

  10. Ian's wife when out in public: 🤦‍♀️

  11. Q: Does Ian prefer French toast, or regular toast? Audience: That's not even a question.

  12. He just doesn't know how good they make eyes in Switzerland.

  13. The key to free labour and an ad.

  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.

  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.

  18. 'We are pinned down by Kevins!" "Okay... Enjoy I guess"

  19.  Brotato Chip  As the series went on they stopped animating them. Which was sad.
    20
  20. And they're afraid of 3D printers....

  21. Then they waste more time (and money) repeating the process.

  22. Let's be honest, he looks more like hippie Col. Sanders. Except instead of chicken he serves buckets of hot lead.

  23. Historical episodes are the most interesting.

  24.  @heckleypanes4988  It's doing an automated emergency alert.

  25. To the town of Agua Fria drove a stranger one fine day...

  26. I mean they were both sold to American companies....

  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"

  28. "Deploying smug face"

  29. "hahahaha do you think this is the real Quaid? ...It is."

  30. I think it's rule 47
    13
  31. I can, with 85% certainty, confirm: green

  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.

  33.  @worldtraveler930  Teeth? no, they could come back to life and eat someone.

  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...)

  35. No one likes the sound of door closing.

  36. just think of what a lovely grenade launcher this would make.

  37. As he buys every mp5 on the market.

  38. I would always find these around the house expecting there to be cookies inside... Here they were just full of lies and ammunition.

  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.

  40. well the person or people who have made an stl file.

  41.  @davehopkin9502  Exactly. They basically wasted that entire round of firearms development, by making a Full auto capable rifle that you couldn't aim.

  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

  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).

  44. Memely: bang quieter
    7
  45. Better to start with a better gun.

  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.

  48.  @GunRoastShorts  I don't think he's a nazi, but unquestionably an @$$#0l3, though the same could be said about me lol.
