  1. Ian I am really interested in how your career has gone from a clunky gun channel (though I do miss the old intro music) to becoming a globally renowned firearms expert. I wonder if one day you will be asked to advise on the creation of a weapon. I could see that if a military were to do something like the MG34 today, they would require someone with a broad and relatively specific knowledge like yourself who could assist with the selection of requirements or systems. I know you may think it silly to think you could design a firearm but part of design is not just metallurgy and contracting but also acting as a sort of neutral where you could say "no we should not pursue integrated bipods because of __ and historically they ___" Analysis is a very small field but can come in great value. God willing we will never see that kind of need for new weapons but consider how many firearms giants were commercial successes beforehand or even just in the press If it happens or not it has been a pleasure to see you go from the old videos taking apart guns in the desert to having the potential to be a subject matter expert analyst on these systems and their historical slotting together. Crozier as head of ordnance was an interesting fellow but imagine a world where Ian was. Very interesting time to be alive as these kind of global experts can exist now
