@HighlandLaddie Well since you're being a twat about it, allow me to retort: @Antillicus did not specify in which respect he thinks Ian is the most pioneering. And "interesting" is an absolutely subjective term. But if the premiss of pioneering is reaching out to people outside the traditional gun enthusiast circles I think he is absolutely right. I wasn't interested in guns in the slightest, despite having done military service. But one day Youtube suggested me some hippie looking dude talking about the rifle I was issued (HK G3), so I figured why the heck not... And that's when I learned that Ian is a really good presenter, so I stuck around. I also happen to like books, and whatdoyaknow.
So what I personally think Ian is absolutely pioneering is: Presenting firearms history in an interesting and politically neutral neutral light, with a good balance between observations on mechanical, practical and logistical developments along with anecdotes about the people who made these things happen.
Mostly every other channel/source I've come across is slathered in either national pride, political agenda, that weird tin-foil-hat tactical-preperation-for-dooms-day vibe that just puts me off right away, or all of the above.
