Comments by "Neil of Longbeck" (@neiloflongbeck5705) on "Improving the AR-15: The HK416 A5 with firearms expert Jonathan Ferguson." video.

Probably because the channel got bored with responding to the experts mentioning poor handling of guns they know are empty.

@flatlander4527 I've always assumed that when it comes to museums, the guns they have in their collections are always empty, and that before filming, on any channel, they have been visually checked. But then I'm no expert.

@iosis2009 I think you've misunderstood me. I'm assuming that the person handling the gun and the film crewm I any, have done all the required safety checks before filming starts. I'm aware that you always assume a gun is loaded until you have checked it. Better to have 2 people doing checks independently than no-one. Remember the old story of Anybody, Somebody, Everybody and Nobody.

@EvieCorwell I know basic gun safety and can explain it clearly. But when you say a gun is loaded when you know a gun is unloaded then it shows you don't know how to explain things. If you meant that even when you know a gun is unloaded then you act like it is loaded so that others feel safe, then say than not some bollocks like you posted earlier, as the people around you may not know thatbthe gun is safe.

@EvieCorwell a more nonsensical comment I have yet to read. Bullets, unlike quantum particles cannot simply materialise out of nowhere.

@gilgamecha and your ignorance of what I've said is outstanding.

@karlanthonymargate7362 I understand that it's a normal part of the deactivation process in the UK for museums (we don't want criminals getting their hands on such weapons).

@bryanmcdermott4204 you mean you treat every gun as if I was loaded, even when it is locked open on firing the last round. I have limited range time, and it's what I was told.

@gilgamecha what? In assuming that all UK Health and Safety rules are being met? You do that whenever you enter any business place, even where firearms are not involved.
2
@gilgamecha and you worked that out all by yourself? And still got it wrong.

@dizzzzzzler of which he was cleared.

@dizzzzzzler noit doesn't, but nor does your previous comment come close to lininging up with what I said. Remember I said I assumed that those involvec in the handling of guns when filming for YT channels have, prior to filming, already confirmed that the gun is unloaded. In the case of Rust, Alex Baldwin was told it was unloaded but didn't confirm it himself. There is a world of difference between assuming that they did the checks and accepting the checks have been done.

@natespurgat6245 as a pattern room, no doubt they do.

@SonsOfLorgar and the UK's Health and Safety Act simply states that an employee who is properly trained to do a task can do that task should they wish to and it is the employer's duty to ensure that said employee has been correctly trained and is aware of the risk assessment for that task.

@RedTail1-1 stop talking bollocks. British museums have very strict rules about the handling of firearms, plus they are NEVER loaded with live ammunition (been there done that in more liberal times). Who in this day and age still thinks there is someone behind each camera? We take gun safety very seriously in the UK, having learnt our lessons the hard way and taken the never again attitude.

@6nosis to never have again a school shooting is more important than the right to bear arms.

@paulallen-01 I know.

@ifv2089 it's only an armoury by name these days.
