Comments by "Anders Juel Jensen" (@andersjjensen) on "Argentine Brass Maxim: A Machine Gun of the Steampunk Age" video.

The only thing wrong with brass is the weight. It looks cool, it machines gorgeously, it is very corrosion resistant and it spit shines to a mirror finish with very little effort. If it had been the weight of aluminium the entire world would be made out of it.

Dont worry. The second he gets access to them he's going to break out the camera. What Ian films is pretty much just depending on someone giving him access to it. In a perfect world Ian should be an eccentric billionaire who just absolutely had to own one of every firearm ever made so he could make a video about it. But if you know of a museum who might be willing (with a little convincing about Ian's provenance?) to give Ian hands-on time with those guns, don't hesitate to contact them and see if they would extend an invitation.

@crackerjack3287 Then you break out the Brasso and have a fun afternoon. And when you're done you coat everything in a thin layer of bees wax (personally I dissolve 2% bees wax in 98% acetone (by weight) as that makes it super easy to distribute evenly) so it doesn't turn green in a week.

@crackerjack3287 In the trenches it doesn't matter if it turns green.

With a built in tea cooker you'd thing the British would have been AAALLL over this...
