  2. RichCommander I too wish to patrol the Mojave.

  3. It’s because GWACS was bought out by an anti gunner who is suing KE Arms to “put an assault weapons maker out of business”.

  4. EdM240B Shit, probably the XM8.

  5. Weary Man Everything I’ve read and seen regarding the last ditch Arisakas has them being just as reliable and safe to shoot as the prewar ones, they just skipped out on everything that wasn’t the barrel or receiver. MAC actually has a video shooting a last ditch Arisaka rifle.

  6.  @jiggy6486  what nation? And if he gets a military pension I’d say he counts. Most soldiers even during WW2 weren’t on the frontlines.

  7. Removing that magazine hurt me.

  8. halo3odst I’ve seen enough shit gun designs to say designing a gun doesn’t make you an expert either.

  9. Well if you’re one person killing dozens of animals you can’t really eat the meat of all of them.

  10. Because his channel is non-political. If you can't clearly understand and state the otherside's argument you've failed at the argument. The dude literally owns machine guns, I doubt he's for UK style gun laws.

  11.  @BigLisaFan  might as well buy an airsoft gun at that point.

  12. Happy Haunter Well it’s a muzzleloader so in the US at least it legally isn’t.

  13. Jey I for one am glad to see greater species diversity in the firearms community.

  14. Mr.Chamalo But why even bother making that distinction.

  15. Benjamin Middaugh Big game cant kill you if the recoil does so first.

  16. Looks like we got ourselves a time theif here.

  17. Michael James You’d he lucky to find any full auto AK for $5K
    37
  18. Shawn R Civilization exists by the threat of force.
    36
  19. If the 19th century was what a civilized society looked like I’ll take barbarism.
    35
  20. That’s exactly what they were expecting, hence why Russian troops were issued parade uniforms and police units where also part of the invasion force.
    34
  21. But if your last name is Hitler I wouldn’t recommend that.

  22. ChriZ GaGuRo This weapon ain’t designed for metallic cartridges. And percussion replicas exist, if you’re willing to lay down a grand for one.

  23. I don’t know, haven’t seen a Mosin go for under $200 in a while.

  24. And yet Wilkes never fought for what he believed in.
    27
  25. Thing is Ukraine has multiple advantages over the Russians that the Fins didn’t have over the Soviets. But yes most people have an incorrect knowledge if the winter war.

  26. Michael Free Feeling like Fallout 4 Far Harbor gnomes would be at home with all the war crimes.
    24
  27. Neurofunke I don’t think it’s the artillery prices in civilian hands that have caused those millions of deaths.

  28.  @T_D_B_  if that makes you less of a man you weren’t one in the first place.

  29. I would donate, but I'm not exactly drowning in free cash myself unfortunately.
    19
  30.  @jamesgodwin4437  Finns developed a special 7.62x53 mm round for their Mosins.

  31. “Kidnap” He’d probably already have his bags packed when you got there.
    19
  32. I mean I can kinda see why, it’s not to terribly obsolete.

  33. Odin Vik The M2 may or may not have had several affairs while stationed in Italy.

  34. That receiver on the first one looks extremely similar to ones often seen on lever actions, which makes sense honestly.
    18
  35.  @pctotty and yet the southern plantation owners didn’t want compensation for their slaves, they wanted to own and expand slavery. Hence why they started a war over it.
    17
  36. Yes they under performed. The initial stages of the invasion were just awful. Thing is a lot of that is because everyone overestimated Russia’s war making abilities, msot of all the Russians themselves.
    17
  37. The Baltic states simply don’t have the population to build an army capable of stopping the Russians on their own. Hence why the joined NATO and the EU.
    16
  38.  @thomaslyons441 oh no he killed slavers, who were more than willing to kill thousands of their own country men so they could continue to own people.

  39.  @idk1848  Almost as if though I'm explicably talking about the American market or something. Find something valuable to add to the conversation before you post next time.

  40. Ian Macfarlane Lol

  41.  @ericborneo6592  you can’t just “buy a full auto M4” on America.

  42. betaich Which ever one is the most obscure, in the Forgotten Weapons theme. So probably Romansh.

  43. rwsthedemonking Cool story bro.
    13
  44.  @MrDmitriRavenoff  eh Mausers and Springfields are more common for that than Arisakas. Arisakas we’re often just left to rot in attics and basements.

  45. This is actually one of the coolest videos you’ve ever published. You can tell that the Professor is truly passionate about this.

  46. Restoration generally ruins a historical guns value.

  47. Rise, apostles of Gun Jesus! Gather your Berthiers, your custom made elephant guns, your prototype infantry trials rifles! Our savior, who made gun lubricant from olive oil, is in need of the holy legions! By the blessing of St. Browning upon us may we ride!

  48. If they were owned by the police into the 1990’s they likely weren’t registered with the feds so couldnt be transferred to civilian ownership.

  49. Philip Bossy The Ottoman empire was often referred too as Turkey by Europeans when it existed.

  50. Boondocker And yet it has become one of the most widely produced and adopted firearms in the world. Doesn’t change the fact that the M14 was a ticking clusterfuck of a gun.
