Apocrypha: Behind The Scenes March 28, 2023
🕑 Added 2023-03-28 23:45:06 +0000 UTCI've spent most of the week, once again, working on my book on US World War Two small arms. The plan is to have that in hand and available in time for Christmas; a much faster turnaround than some of our other works. Speaking of which, the 4th Headstamp book - Swords of the Emperor - has just this week arrived at our warehouse! I'll be doing an update video on it later this week, but it is now in hand and shipping. I'm very happy to have that done.
Coming up, a few highlights are a genuine 101st Airborne surplus M17 pistol, and a visit form Othais and Mae of C&Rsenal. So, what sort of thing should I make them do or ask them while they are here?

We will be having elk tenderloin at my place. :)

For dinner, you should pull an Othais and take them to as he calls it a “shitty buffet” and make sure you pregame and pay the tab for them. They’ll love that.

Ask Othais if he's going to stop by your favorite taco joint in NM on his return trip...

Question for Beardy, Mae and you to discuss seeing as you got to touch some of the actual hardware. What's the Austrian Dooplepistol story in English and how ludicrous did they seem to the testing agency?

I had a chance to buy a unit-logo marked M17 for 2-8 FA when I was with them in Iraq in 2019-20. I didn't have the $ before I rotated home, and I regret missing it. Maybe one day one of them will appear on the secondary market, and I can finally grab one.

Questions for Othias and Mae: How long have you been collecting that wall of guns in your yellow room? How long before you started doing videos on them?
Douglas Biegel
Are you doing a fundraiser for the WW2 small arms book??

Question for Othias: "What DOES Ballistol taste like?"

Q for Othias: On a recent podcast, he opined that your method of operation was more conducive to making episodes on the cheap. Is he really just jealous of your goatee and the amount you save by not having a full beard?

You should brainstorm about Project Heavening. Heavy Machine Guns of The Great War!

Take care of them; they won’t be used to the lack of humidity in the air.
Any day is a good day for forgotten weapons updates.
