    3300
  3. "They build 20 tool room rifles... oh look, I have one right here next to me!" Oh Ian, casually just mentioning you have a 1 of 20 primordial FAL under the table
    2900
  4. apparently the best rifle for hitting a moving target from a book depository at least.
    2500
  5. "I like the walker but its not reliably breaking my wrists" "Hmmmmmmmm" -local gunsmith

  9. dear ATF please remove this gun from the machine gun classification my evidence is that nobody will ever ever be able to make one shoot fully automatic even if the weapon is technically capable of doing so.

  13. there's something entirely british about stubbornly refusing to adopt a self loading pistol this hard
    745
  14. Such a stark difference from the germans, not a single number on any of the nuts and bolts, let alone a proof mark. How will we know those bolts can hold the stock on if they haven't been numbered and checked!?
    700
  15. the germans use proof marks, the US uses imperials, and the swiss use complexity to keep people from copying their designs
    690
  16. "Theres activators that give you a limited time target" Absolutely sprays the limited time target
    667
  17. "And by 1945, dear lord the russians are coming!" best summery of 1945

  18. 12:28 This just gives me the image of some hogan's heroesesque comedy where every cave and bunker they go into already has its own secret wonder weapon program and they joke about how hard it is to setup a secret weapons program
    614
  19. "Shooter ready?!" Chunk, chunk, shloop, chunk, thunk "READY!"
    604
  20. "cartridge rifles are wasteful, soldiers will just fire too fast!" "lever rifles are bad because soldiers will burn up ammunition too fast!" "Double action revolvers are bad because they will fire off their shots wildly!" "Magazine bolt actions are wasteful because they will fire too fast!" "Self loading battle rifles are too wasteful!" "Automatic assault rifles are bad because they will spray and pray!" Times change, but the frugality of commanders never changes

  21. "welcome to ares, here's your safety glasses, your shoes, your beard and ponytail...
    498
  22. what's this, a US Military pistol development program that actually finished? quite forgotten
    485
  23. "Betcha wondering, did he fire five or six shots?" dirtbag notices the stump where harry's hand was "uh...."
    461
  24. the things machinists got away with before the invention of middle meddling management
    448
  25. germany, making a bazooka that kills the operator is just a feature.

  30. "Was that 4 jazails with one shot or 1 jazail with 4 shots!?" -A poor redcoat, probably
    363
  31. its like the designer decided to reinvent the wheel then the axle, then the cart, then the horse, the harness, ect ect...
    329
  32. "Its the 4th most popular breech-loading carbine of the civil war!" great thing to stick on the poster
    294
  33. "They concluded there are enough of you who watch ian, who also watch me and play world of tanks" ha, the obvious cross marketing
    290
  34. Russians: "Everyone, we built a new gun for everybody to use and defend communism everywhere!" Czechs: laughing in czechoslovakian
    282
  35. its like the ordinance guys sat around a table going "That's notta knife!" while pulling out increasingly dumber bayonets until one accidentally got stamped off for approval
    281
  36. "A cruder sten gun" so like an actual piece of plumbing with a magazine sticking out of it?
    280
  37. Its remarkably functional for what it is. Like who would bother to put a functional grip safety on a workshop gun like this, let alone a double trigger
    269
  38. crap or not, this thing is in astonishing shape for being over 100 years old
    249
  39. I think that's kind of funny that they're so proud of their new cartridge and then you go "Oh that's 7.65 french long!" and they're like "What's that?"
    247
  40. james bond's other problem is that everybody assumes anyone carrying a walther ppk is a british 00 spy even those hundreds of german police officers carrying them
    238
  41. absolutely pristine, this thing had to have sat in an armory somewhere instead of on the seas
    237

  43. one was Karl with...just go watch his exhaustive video, the other three...they must have been bad at shooting

  44. Hunting Rifle Ammunition sounds like a very reliable and sustainable supplier of hunting rifle ammunition that couldn't possibly go out of business
    184

    181
  46. "This pistol is sufficient for our requirements." -germans
