I've had this idea in my head for a while but can never think of an actual plot.

... It was a long time sinse I played New Vegas but was all guns in? I know the High power was in called the 9mm pistol. 1911 some version was in one of the expansion packs and was there a unique 1911 or a unique High power? (Bennys custom ivory pistol) the french 7.65 pistol (I need close caption on numbers) not in the game im sure of it. the M16 (some version of it. gamedevs are/was notorious poor whit getting them correctly together whit the full AK tree) Service rifle (semi auto only... I think). the level action was for sure in. not sure what name it had. the german Rifle... Im sure it was not in in any capacity... in fact I done think there was any side loaded gun in the game at all.

@@Zack_Wester For what it's worth, the 1911 was in with an expansion, and it had a unique variant as well. The hi-power was the base game's 9mm. And the service Rifle is *pretty* close but it's gonna few changes. Probably for royalties or something.

This is the perfect comment

@@Zack_Wester the assault carbine was quite a bit closer to an M16 than the service rifle. The cowboy repeater was lever action, so were the brush gun and trail carbine.

@@Zack_Wester The service rifle was some weird AR 10/AR 15 hybrid thing in 556 with wooden furniture that I still want to build IRL some day to pair with a BHP. The 1911 was just called the 45 auto pistol iirc and it was added with the honest hearts DLC with a whole group of mormons who all carry 1911s and practically worship JMB. You get a special commander model from Joshua Graham at the end of the DLC call a Light Shining in Darkness. Benny's pistol Maria was a BHP with a ivory gripped with the virgin Mary engraved on it.

Ian's excitement over finally getting ammo for his pistol is a level of joy I aspire to achieve in life.

It does!

Hard tie for me, but ladies love the classic beret+aviator combo

If only Karl had a coach gun tucked under that magnificent coat... absolute perfection.

Seriously, I want that whole rig.

@@SlavicCelery thatd be 3 gun though ... *vomits*

Also, I love manual actions and a majority of my collection is stuff like Savage 99s, I just suck at planning and never make it to DB.

Let's set the scene for that: Ian's town has been captured and occupied. Enemy forces are holed up in the local church, city hall, and anywhere else that offers a decent field of view in case Allied troops arrive. Ian's wife walks up to a small group of soldiers offering "aid" in the form of wine, a baguette, and "companionship" ... The enemy are preoccupied and don't notice Ian creeping up behind them with an old shotgun until he opens fire and his wife pulls a Liberator out from under her jacket.

@@AM-hf9kk please continue I must hear more.

That's cannon now

@@Hubert_Cumberdale_ continue the story if no one else does... pretty please.

@@AM-hf9kk Ian shoots the oldest looking soldier right in the back severing his spine, theres 2 left, one desperately trying to get to his STG suffers the same faith as his comrade, Ian with his shotgun barrels smoking that smell like rebellion, guves the signal to his wife, his wife pulls her just found dusty liberator, and manages to put a shot in the third soldier's chest, as he's agonizing in the floor Ian quickly disarms the two soldiers bodies, and goes to finish off the third soldier, they see each other eye to eye, the 17 yr old scared soldier, thinks of his familly as he shouts "Bitte erbarme dich", Ian grabs the soldiers just recently manufactures FG 42, with conflicting toughs going trough his mind, as he sees the wounded soldier slowly closing his eyes, calling for his mom, Ian and his wife vanish from the scene, but that scared soldier is still on Ians head, to this day...

I was in the jungle near Chiang Mai, Thailand once. It was winter and freezing, didn’t know that was possible in the tropics. I wish I had a sweater.

@@johnyricco1220 As somebody from the region (Malaysia specifically), yes, it can get quite cold, but that's an exception, not a rule (in fact 70 degrees F is "cold" for significantly many of us). Otherwise, hot and humid interspersed with lots of rain, so a jacket is not beyond the realm of the imagination and enough to keep you warm. In fact, it's so warm in Malaysia that British residents during the Empire days seeked to settle at higher altitudes to get away from the heat. This why there are places called Fraser's Hill and Cameron Highlands, and continued to be referenced as such. That being said, Chiang Mai is quite further north and deeper inside the Asian mainland. It makes sense that a cold front would form.

To me, the most annoying thing about the kit as a whole is not having any headgear.

@@randymagnum143 True, but I gotta say, watching him take 2nd in Irons at Finnish Brutality with God's boomstick was pretty awesome

@@sjoormen1 XD

Quelle museum? Le 1er Armee ont capture quelques uns a toute fin de la guerre, mais je serais tres supris si la resistance en attrapait. Pardon mon manque de marcques d'accent, je ne suis pas francais.

I bet he was glad he didn't go with the Mirbat shorts and webbing combo!!

Fact.

Just need to get SinistralRifleman in the picture.

@@Lowlandlord he shot retro and armored last year iirc

@@InrangeTv I see what I did there; I think I must've googled an old DB rules/divisions document where classic did allow for more modern setups than current retro. Yup 2018 Classic was up to 1986...

Apparently they also make 8mm Nambu for about the same price per round, which is great because that used to be at least $1 per shot from anywhere else. EDIT: I took a look at Steinel's site. I was reading the price for the 20 rd box thinking it was the 50 rd box. 8mm Nambu is still well over a $1 per round. I regret the error.

That sounds like modern Alberta hipster kit

This post is an encyclopedia entry for *real* small arms history.

@@12ealDealOfficial Not really, I mean anecdotal history, from someone that loves the High Power, and has been shooting for decades, but not like these 3 guys. Not even close.

@@Psiberzerker This comment was sarcastic but acknowledging the influence Hollywood has on public interest in firearms.

There are lots of videos/matches here of Ian using his Israeli Hi Power as his pistol. I could not tell you which exact videos, but it always performed just fine.

Tell you what, though: I'd love to see Karl do a '30s version, where he replaced the '73 with one of those Peace Officers Equipment Company Remington Model 8s with the detachable 20-round magazines...

@@jic1 I don't even want to think about how hard it would be to find a rifle with enough matching magazines, but it would be cool to see. Alternately, he could use a standard Model 8 with stripper clips, assuming you could find a few correct or at least usable clips.

Knew a guy in the 80s using one, from Arkansas

1 gun! I'm no where near ready to compete yet, but i hope it happens.

On active duty army in the mid 80's 1911 were issued to M60 gunners and some motar men. Company Commander, Platoon leaders and NCO'S carried M16 a1 rifles. FYI my rifle was essentially the same as Bloke on the Range carries. (Full Auto excluded) Thanks for the info Evan
