At a gun show in Buffalo, NY, we had two different quasi-militias with table setups, one Left and one Right. The Right one was a "neighorhood defense" type and the Left was Antifa-esque. I both agreed on the 2nd Amendment?

Othias doesn't want to answer your questions and he sure will go into great detail telling you why. y'all know what to do when the next Q&A comes up.
Guido Schriewer
for language fun there was a vid named history of the english language on youtube. actually that was a nice one. I know you keep the channel clean of politics. bet people have more pressing issues stateside than the civil war. all I'm saying. heartsick sorry that is even a thing.

As an Australian, hearing about the comments regarding mispronunciation is kinda funny. It made me think I should get some popcorn and watch the comments section explode after a video on a British firearm drops. As for the "how did you find us", it was partly the great war, partly project lightning, partly forgotten weapons. What made me a full-time viewer was the sample unloaded episode you dropped. After hearing y'all (I'm in the southern hemisphere, can't get much more deep south than that lol) talk about your challenges and what made you passionate about what you do, I couldn't help but see the effort that goes into each and every episode.

Well we didn't make it this far by being cowards! I'm going to talk about the damned guns. They're cool!

Technically being hot on it is better but YT honestly comes through and crushes us whenever we go viral anyway. No rush!

Dear God it is suicide to take on the Civil War. As much as I want to experience your level of academic research on the subject in terms of firearms, you're asking for months of downvoting that equates to "that's racist!!!!!" All over an event that happened. If you make it, I will upvote it. But prepare yourself.

Hello - I'm wondering if the time between posting a video and a person viewing a video affects the statistics. I save the large episodes for Saturday. I only view the shorts on the day they are posted.

My life, lived in the corner, hoarding our viewers.

Really like the "Clips" segments, and the "Minute of Mae" is "Fun" to watch/absorb. The "It's A Trap" segments were just a "it's fun to watch" type of thing. Over all I've really enjoyed all of your submissions and have learned a from ya'll. Keep up the great work.

That dam YT algorithm. I only found Dracinifle through my interest in ww2 aviation. And he's awesome. The Great War did a collaboration with Sabaton digging out the historic events behind there songs. I never found out about until I went looking for it. Its called Sabaton History.

Just for fun, I did a little (totally unscientific) YouTube algorithm test just now. 1. Opened up YouTube in a private browsing window, so no account/cookie history. 2. Searched for Drachinifel and started clicking on some of his videos. Eventually saw The Chieftain pop up in the recommendations. 3. Clicked on a couple of Chieftain videos and eventually got recommended some Forgotten Weapons videos. 4. Clicked on the Forgotten Weapons videos and...still no C&RSenal. Even when I clicked on one of Ian's videos (e.g. the T-Gewehr) that was about a gun that there's a C&RSenal video on, it doesn't recommend the C&RSenal video. Whiskey tango foxtrot.... I'm starting to see what you mean about YouTube "sitting on" your channel for some reason.

I would love you to write a revolver book for headstamp publication

If by marking fluid you mean something like Dykem layout fluid they sell “dykem remover” and it’s a combination of acetone, ethanol, n-propyl acetate, and isopropyl alcohol. I don’t think it would effect parkerizing because to my understanding that’s basically an etching/forced oxidation and not a coating

Mae Responding: Check out the end of the second part of the podcast, we talk about what to do for it in detail.
Sean Morrison
Sootch is a shill, he has never reviewed a gun he hasn't loved, regardless how bad a firearm it is.
Sean Morrison
Nice to hear you mention Drachinifel. He's on my playlist.

I had watched Extra Credit’s video on the development of Battlefield 1 and then got directed to The Great War where the first video I watched was a collab with you and I’ve been here for about three years now

Westerner here, yes federalism is s complicated and gray. A lot of our families came out here with the explicit intent of being left the hell alone.

I found you guys looking for “Tales of the Gun” when I ought my first Luger in January 2018. Your P.08 and LP.08 episodes showed up right after it and I half-recognized you from an old Great War video I had seen once before.
Old Man Winter
My first episode was the t gewer(?) after watching Ian

I recently read a really enjoyable book about the Fenian raids called "When the Irish Invaded Canada" by Christopher Klein. It's not the deepest book historically, but it was well written.
Brock Gouett
Hey othias. Remind me what did you want out of the first gun story and crayon drawings. It was just that right or was their more to the idea?
Absolute Chaos
I caught the bulldog song. Thought it was a nice touch. Liked the Irish song too. Most people forget the Irish were closer to a British conquest than a British state.

I personally love the shop talk of the ins and out of running a YouTube channel.

Does Othais mean constable as in police? I remember hearing it on youtube and thinking "hmm no idea what that fancy word is: that's why he's smart"
Josh Karpoff
Othais, there's always trash everywhere in NYC. It's because NYC Dept of Sanitation refuses to let people and businesses use trash cans or dumpsters, because they exist in an alternate dimension where these things haven't been invented. All of the trash has to be in bags, piled on the curb, which frequently split open, spilling trash everywhere. Sanitation doesn't bother picking up the loose trash if the bag splits open as they throw it in the truck. Some of the trash might be picked up later by the street sweeper. Maybe. It is also why NYC smells horrible all the time and has so many rats. They're finally discussing whether they will run a pilot program, involving overpaid consultants, to see if trash containers are possibly a good idea.
Josh Karpoff
To do the "Hot/Cold" cycle test, you could rent a 20ft freezer shipping container dropped off at the range. I don't remember the weekly rental costs, but its not unreasonable (though I do know that you have tight budget issues). But someone else could do it.

So what I am hearing is you need to bug the mustachioed visitor to test the cold thing. Just have him carry them with him while he hikes thru the snow to do amazing mountainous range days with a Mauser, a mosin, and a to be on brand a Lee.

Algorithm fun: If I am watching InrangeTV, the autoplay after each episode is always C&Rsenal, and it is always either the trench gun, the 1903 Springfield, or the Mosin-Nagant.

LTE *is* VOIP, as I understand it. Voice-over-LTE, anyway. Sample at 16kHz and send digitally. Compression artifacts on low-quality samples sound like Decepticons, imo.
Zack Nunns
Also im glad Verdun actually paid you guys cuz Id have to stop playing if I found out they ripped yall off
Zack Nunns
Stop being a pussy, just accept you’ll never know everything and make my day by doing the goddamn pick one with nine-hole. Nobody cares AT ALL about the lubricant othias😂

It's odd when you talk about the BAR. While the external form was outdated by the 1930's, the FN MAG is basically an upside down BAR mechanically. The form factor dies, but the mechanism lives on.
Shaun Keckler
I have to say, its thanks to you guys I found drachinifel, dont be so humble!
