Would you mind divulging what bullet mold was used for the .450 adams?

Andrey Gardner

It seemed more practical from my limited match experience. Local club USPSA match, two stages, less than a box of ammo, no squads, and the whole event lasts less than 3 hours, in and out under an hour if I am early. The extent of training was a 3 hour introduction coarse on the count of being a complete novice. Still would not sufficiently solve the time and ammo problem. Perhaps one day there will be a C&Rsenal Range Day and a Primer on something that runs commercial ammo, so a course of fire would be manageable.

Unfortunately that would require training and ammo enough to miss a LOT of episode production. Working a 70 hour week doesn't leave much room.

Andrey Gardner

Now run in a match like USPSA/BUG/Steel Challenge. Seriously, would you accept a contribution/bribe to male this happen, and if so, how much?

Andrey Gardner

Would "Small Arms of the World" be better? I would love "Primer" on something that qualifies as a 'destructive device' though... Something in 14.5x 114mm...

Laz Capistrano

Very cool

I did have a problem during the loading and unloading animations, the gun being totally dark gray made it hard to make out anything but the outline of the gun for me.

Jeff Price

Really, anything? ;)

Sear engagement might just be an old spring. It is an old old hand made revolver...

37:30 "The British Army wanted a metric ton of them." Wrong, they wanted an Imperial Ton of course.

Lewis pan. Chuckle.

I hope nobody has a tamper tanterum when this goes live instead of the 1907. ;)

So if you're from Leicester (pronounced Lester, more or less) would you not like to find out who played at the Aston Cross football ground? All of the good references on google are to the Birmingham Local History whatever, and you cannot read their links to sources unless you join,

Jack Fairbrother

It’s so strange to see Leicester (where I was born) and Birmingham (a place I know extremely well thanks to partying in my late teens early twenties) on a map on C&Rsenal! Although at least I knew about the BSA history. I was super pissed to discover that Eskilstuna in Sweden (a place I very nearly moved to and have visited multiple times) is the home of the Carl Gustaf factory! I’d literally walked past it on multiple occasions! 🤦‍♂️

Jack Fairbrother

Wouldn’t you say ‘Villa are still a famous football club? I don’t support them, I’m from Leicester, still though? Lol.

Does the ejection rod seem like it would bend when used under stress? Looks fiddly and fragile.

Brock Gouett

Yes, more sweet revolving action

Mitch Hill

Well, I never expected but always kinda hoped to see a Tranter on here! I wonder if there will be an Adams at some point?

Guido Schriewer

yeah it is fragile maybe. today. back then the US still had cap and ball 1860s in 68, didn't they? at least cartridges even better ones than a 44 henry rimfire it seems.... trustworthy I don't know but those outline ingravings look really sharp.

I have a coworker that's had a Tranter since the 70s and never knew what it was. I helped him identify it and now (when this is in full release) I can send him some more info!

51:56 LOL

What year is the Aston Cross map? I am now trying to find who played at the large (for the time) football ground? It's seems it's not Aston Villa (a once famous club formed 1874). A have found references to 'The Lower Aston ground', as being separate from, and redeveloped 9 years before, Villa's ground, but none with clear reference to place.

Wayne Dygert

Yes! Early Christmas present!

Leslie Alexander

look at this little buthole! i hate him so much

Royeaux

/Joking That's a funny looking 1911

Alexander Hickman

Nice to see the local history! A couple of comments, there were a few ums and ers in the disassembly sequence, and the title still says Small arms of WW1. Following the podcast discussion, weren't you going to change that? Otherwise, great work.
