​@@highjumpstudios2384Pretending to manufacture barrels while actually producing shiny batons.

Wearing latex gloves suggests there is oil involved. But then, around a lathe, avoiding wearing gloves or long sleeves is preferable. Reaching over or anything while it's spinning. . Then again latex gloves rip so easily. It's not a piece of cloth, that will get you sucked in. Interesting.

You're quite correct. People seem to forget just because someone doesn't have the same wherewithal to build something that someone in a technology advance area does doesn't mean they can't build something.

@@Srfs777 so why would they attempt to fool anybody into thinking they're making these? it's weird how easy arabs fall for propaganda, they just really dont know any better and they have a weird thirst for watching these videos.

I've worked in shops making barrels as well, but everything was done with coolant. Depends on the inserts you're using (ceramics you don't want coolant) but usually turning without a coolant or cutting oil, you risk deformation or work hardening. With the short section you said you were turning it may not have been an issue. But yeah, it certainly wouldn't be down the entire barrel. It would warp the bore. And Scotch Brite is definitely a staple in machine shops for polishing lol

where not crimped either.

Not just you. Case lengths seem extremely inconsistent.

I noticed this too some looked too tall

That's cause those are incendiary bullets............. So, like Ian said, lower quality controls. Lol

missed that..

I saw that. It looked very clean like factory new ammunition would appear.

I did notice that the range ammo looked very nice and uniform, the cartridges all having the same blackish colour, rather than the hodgepodge of lacquer and bare steel from inside the "factory".

And the primers were staked etc etc

dont be stupid . do you want them to show all the details !

probably filmed in a studio in Qatar.

no DRO, worn out lathtes, and they claim high precision rifles ? ah ah...

Totally agree that those are not skilled lathe workers.

the sleeves and gloves for sure tell me they are acting and not actually machinists. Will they release the video of them being sucked into the lathes?

As a manual machinists I can verify that what is in the video complete fake. You do not wear long sleeve clothes when running manual machines. You do not stay nearly that clean when running manual machines. And as a side note US Pro 2nd channels are under constant attack for being pulled down, but Hamas posts anti Semitic videos and they stay up. Just saying.

And that was supposed to be sniper quality. I wouldn't trust it for weekend at the range testing.

@@disistheway2679 yeah, yeah, not arguing that point. *THIS* video, though, is a fake - that *is* the point here.

Difficult but not impossible. I know a machinist that made several rifles of various sizes. He said the most labor intensive part of a rifle was the trigger mechanism. He would normally just tear apart a junked rifle for those parts.

It does not. Outside of a really long barrel you can rifle pistol to rifle sized barrels with a 20 ton harbor freight press and a $28 dollar Ali-express bullet button. If you want 1000 yard accuracy it requires a few thousand dollars in tooling that maybe you can not afford but a gov sponsored terror org like hamas can.

@@jw-hy5nq Those weren't 1 MOA rifles for sure. Most companies that make precision rifles cold forge the rifling by inserting a tungsten carbide rod with the correct profile into the bore and then crimp-hammer the blank around it so it has to be screwed out. Drilling and reaming a barrel blank to within a few micons is outside the capabilities of most shops that don't have ambient temperature control. Long-boring a rifling pattern into it afterwards, without screwing it up to the point it becomes essentially just a somewhat poor hunting rifle, is even harder. So that you knew a machinist who made ghetto rifles really doesn't tell anyone much until we see a 1000m grouping shot from a gun rest, as Hamas is claiming to be making sniper rifles. Not bullet hoses.

doubting that they can learn the skill is insane and frankly borders on racist. do you really think these people aren't capable of using the tools they just showed you they have? no. the actor on the screen didn't know what the fuck they where doing.. but they aren't going o show the actual people who do the work on video.. their enemy actively hunts any specialist down. so any skilled worker woudl be highly protected.

@@KuK137 Except Ian has done extensive videos on Polish resistance fire arms production. And they made sub machine guns. Not sniper rifles. Because making a simple blowback sub machine gun that will reasonably reliably hit at ranges a 9mm Parabellum can realistically do is a far cry from making a sniper rifle that can hit something so far away you need a scope the size of a roll of biscuits to see it. The Poles weren't idiots. They knew the limitation of their production means and produced firearms accordingly. They knew you can't produce to micrometer precision with determination alone, so they simply didn't bother.

It may be honest but certainly not apolitical, right from the start he uses word terrorist which no violent group would choose to describe itself. Its more kind of broad cultural thing than Ian doing smthng wrong, nobody is immune to ideology.

@@robertkalinic335 You have a brain dysfunction or something? You are accusing him saying Terrorist? Literally, He didnt say it.

He may try but the concept of "apoliticism" does not exist. If you take no stands on an issue, you only reaffirms the status quo.

@@bigsmoke8816 not saying that he is apolitical, just that he only talked about his expertise. that's all.

Nasty politics...I'm going to take this to mean focuses on the specific subject matter to accurately understand this limited aspect. Politics is not nasty. Killing almost 10,000 kids is nasty. There is a real disconnect between venerating firearms and obsessing over politeness.

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.” (2:136 / Translated by Community) Salam (Peace) ---

If you're an Australian who watches Forgotten Weapons I cannot recommend this museum enough.

And not just regular machines. Specialized machines and tooling to do specific jobs.

The original equipment and tooling was purchased from Pratt & Whitney just before WWI. At the time it was the most advanced available in the world. Pratt & Whitney saw this as an opportunity to showcase their wares internationally. There were over 2250 operations to produce an SMLE, and Pratt & Whitney's setup reduced the man-hours required from 48 or more to 23.5 hours per rifle. Another fun fact: the LSAF Museum also has the first off SMLE rifle made on the P&W equipment, by P&W, to prove their tooling and tolerancing.

This is a video produced by Hamas' propaganda department. Of course they're not going to show you anything other than what they want you to see. I think the reason for it is plausible deniability.

AL GHOUL is just his last name, but al ghoul would also mean "the boogie man" in Arabic rather than the ghost. But anyway, yeah, it's just Adnan's last name.

@@abadran8174 interesting, it's not following the naming conventions I'm familiar with, I had assumed it was a nickname/code name or 'warrior moniker', which some in Al-Qaeda were fond of, but you're quite right, it seems to be his given name... very odd... Thanks! that would definitely change the context of it, and therefore the translation. "the Adnan Algol Rifle" 'ghost' was how we were expected to translate it, as a known euphemism, but, if I were to pick a mythical creature westerners are familiar with that most closely resembles a Ghoul, it'd be a 'zombie', except it's got agency and sentience like a vampire... (and "Adnan's Zombie Rifle" surely has a nice ring to it!) But that would've upset the sensibilities of my Arabic teachers, I think! 🤣 I learned the hard way not to liken or compare mythologies with several of them, especially our elderly Egyptian teacher! 🤣 but we're diverging into mythology which, while an other favorite topic, is off topic😅

You learned Arabic well I can say

@@abadran8174Correct.

Weird, where you in an mos that was put into a terp role or where you a part of an ngo?

It's the same as the reason for the video. To give the impression they're a competent and able military body instead of what they really are

I wonder if all or at least the line of Arabic words were added in editing. The video paused too long when they did the close up of the markings.

These video are shot before the conflict

Competent enough to hold off and still be inflicting serious damage to one the worlds most sophisticated armies with mainly old AK47's and RPG's in a extremely confined battle zone though, while being totally out gunned in every single way...not to sure how many Western troops would still be coming out to fight at this point...not many I suspect. @@kektaro

@@adrianthornton8288 when your enemy is more concerned with not causing an international incident and you are hiding behind civilians its not as hard as you make it sound.
