I have the opposite issue. FW and C&R always show up (along with a lot of other folks I don't care to watch but that's another issue) for me. Another oddity is C&R came up for me even before I was subscribed to them.

That explains it

That's because Ian picks what to put on the recommended cards, not YouTube.

Ian just posted a video on a Portuguese Abadie 1886, I noticed something odd. Your video on the gun pops up as one the recommended ones on the cards linked in the video but not the recommended ones on the side. I am on #14 before a C&R video, and that is the MP18 but no others of yours are there.

Yea I love how those animations take all the complex moving parts and let you see just how each works. It makes you appreciate the kind of genius that goes into making sure the parts move and stop when they need to. Anyone who wonders why most firearms take years to develop need only consider the trouble shooting that goes into getting it right.

Love you guys! But I did want to say I think the magazine is a bit of red herring. In the day the manual of arms or whatever the Dane’s called it would have “always” used stripper clips and the extra magazine was a “replacement part” more than a combat option. Stripper clips would have been totally acceptable while magazines were pricey! Just a thought

We use ABBYY scans and then copy paste from there

I really like the animation segment for this episode. I think the more contrasting color-coded parts are nice to keep the focus where it needs to be with the narration along with the arrow pointing the critical moments. It seems exceptionally nice and improved on.

As you mentioned reading by Google Translate, when applicable do you recommend OCR then Google Translate or Yandex upload image and one step OCR & Translate?

in german though but.. schweizer waffen magazin. my favorite throughout my teens when one could get them here as standalone. 10issues/year from 2/86 well into the 90s.

but it sure looks WAAAY better than a broomhandle. actually it makes those being a crude insulting bad copie of that dane bergmann. triggerpull sounds an issue with the gripwidth but it seems to group very well. wonder about the feel of a 9x23. offers better mass than standart 124 or 115 9luger.

Yeah I've done some testing and it's pretty rare to get a recommendation for C&R. Usually if you're watching one of our "Part 1" videos there will be several FW suggestions before the "Part 2"

Same with the early machine guns, just the look of them is striking.

The YouTube algorithm is like a company policy book, you know there is some order to it but good luck sorting it out of madness.

Even though they may have been going for a thin, revolver like grip on the Bergman, you can tell by Mae's slow-mo video that they missed it. Her finger is curling around the trigger like it was a cheap .22 Derringer because the proportions are all wrong on the gun. The C96 is bad enough, but this is worse.

Wink, wink! "Feels like chocolate to me." This is the best pistol/handgun production yet. Thank you! I like the Bergmann 1908 and 1912 best. More, please and thank you.

K. D. Campbell

Very cool! These pistols are fascinating.

Petter Bøckman

I kind of screams Star Wars to me. Or steampunk. or both.

Drew Rebhorn

I just love these strange early auto loading pistols. There’s something magic about how steampunk / dieselpunk they are

Noticed an odd YouTube thing, thought I'd share it here so you see it more easily. Ordinarily, YouTube doesn't suggest your videos for me to watch. I have to go find them myself. It suggests Forgotten Weapons videos, but not yours. But once I've watched one of your videos, *on that page only,* at least half of the recommended videos are yours. I haven't tried watching Ian's video on a weapon you've covered and checking the on-page recommendations to see if you show up there, but given how many of your videos I've repeatedly sought out and repeatedly watched, I'm a bit disappointed in the algorithm that it doesn't ever suggest your videos unless I've already gone out of my way to find one.
