@@VR-ym8ys Seconding what Karl said. It's great for the beginner, as it has absolutely no cost and barely any time commitment, but as you advance you need to find other sources. Listening to a language as much as you can is really really important for learning it. It's how babies learn, after all.
@@karlgoodman9194 Yeah, the problem with understanding native speakers of probably every language, is that they don't actually speak the official unified language, but their local dialect of it. The version of the language that you learn to speak will be understood by speakers of the language, but that doesn't guarantee you'll understand their "true native" version :P
Thanks for addressing the InRangeTV situation, Ian. Yep, it's not as though you don't have your hands full as is. However, I would like to acknowledge that yourself and Karl had a very good onscreen relationship which added to the overall enjoyment of the channel, and that will be missed.
A well trained body guard wouldn't have let him go out in an open topped car.

What I really miss is the Q&A content on InRangeTV with both of you. So many times you guys had different perspectives on stuff and while the Q&As on both channels continue to be excellent, I really wish you and Karl will have time (maybe at a brutality match?) to make a Q&A for InRangeTV.
One way to kind of simulate this, even with the time constraints, would be to do it in an asynchronous way. It's not as good as having a back and forth discussion in a live setting while recording, but having each maybe pick 2-3 questions from their submissions that they will be using in their monthly Q&A and forwarding them to the other ("Hey, this seems like an interesting question, what's your take on this?") could work. So we get both their answers in their own Q&A videos. There were a few examples this month (FB Radom, FRT) but I suspect those were just people asking both the same questions, not a deliberate coordination.
@@lptomtom Ian hasn't really been an active part of the channel for over a year now. As much as I'd love more content with the two of them together, he appears to be doing just fine on his own.
Ian's description of the Finnish soldiers "liberating" Nagant revolvers and TT33s is spot on... the estates of deceased WW II veterans still find captured handguns.
@@johnbacon4997 "Still"? It's questionable whether they were legally owned in the first place. That's of course not to say I disagree with you, it's a great Shane how so many countries just forgo a basic right like that.
We also went from "everything has to be full-powered rifle cartridge for a full-length rifle barrel" to "mostly intermediate cartridge and carbine-length barrels or even SBR". I hazard the guess that the emphasis in military (and military training) doctrine went from quality (marksmen) to quantity (infantry). Because if World War I showed one thing, it's that in the end you run out of good men and good opportunities to reliably hit far too quickly.
@@kevinwestermann1001 Once machine guns became commonplace, thinking WW1 here.. I'm not sure just how critical "marksmanship" became for the average soldier. As Ian has pointed out numerous times infantry rifles of that time were sighted for ridiculous ranges, ranges that were simply NOT fought at. So THAT concept of long range marksmanship was a complete blind alley.

I'm very sad to hear about you leaving InRange. The dialogue between you and Karl made that hands down, no questions asked, the best firearms content on the internet.
Kind of odd though. Carl has said that Ian is essentially a guest at InRangeTV because of his bonkers schedule while Ian in this video makes it seem as though he is completely done with InRangeTV in any form. Shame.
I can attest that the C&R is a bit expensive after the fact. I have become an addict to Gunbroker because of my C&R. But it is worth it to get one, if you are thinking of doing it, the $30 will save you on the cost of doing transfers through an FFL, which where I live is usually $25 per transfer.
Do you use your C&R just for acquiring stuff for your own collection or do you transfer things over to other people? I’m just curious if you’ve been able to make a little return on your $30 investment or if it was just for the ease of collecting. I’ve considered getting my FFL just so I could do transfers because i don’t want to sell guns or invest in my own inventory I’d rather just make $20 off of a transfer
Shooting through propeller: there was also a third option - to armor up the propeller so it would bounce off bullets. Yes, for real they did that. But this wasn't optimal, because it increased weight and thus decreased cycles per minute.
I've seen such propellers, usually the armored parts are angled in such a way that the bullet would be deflected away from the direction of rotation. Effectively the bullet hitting the propeller would speed the latter up, maybe to compensate for the lost propeller speed?
They discovered later that you just had to armor a small section of the propeller, where the bullet would hit it. They added a little armored "ramp" to deflect the bullet off the propeller, wich would have been probably terrifying when you think about it. And they were called "deflectors" because who need fancy names.
I think the terms where more, "Oh sh*t, my publishing company's taking off. Karl, I'm being swamped with old fashioned paper, I need to taper off my InRangeTV involvement."
Thanks for your work. This channel has brought a huge amount of information and knowledge to the firearms community. Looking forward to the next Forgotten Weapons.
I do miss your banter with Karl on InRange. On the other hand I like what Karl is doing on his own as well, especially the historical vignettes. I don't know where I was going with that comment honestly.
A Pole here: about FB Radom. Few years ago they made 100 Vis's, and gave them to the politicians. With plans to restart commercial serial production of it, but this idea got scraped.

As soon as you said interruptors and synchronisers I could have cried with happiness. Then you said you would like to do a video on it, and I did a little dance :-) I know you should't rely too much on flight sims but in IL2, they have managed to replicate the synchronisers so you get a lovely sweet spot in engine RPM where the Vickers guns go onto overtime.
On #5 the Mk22 by S&W was a semi-auto pistol used by the SEALs. It utilized a slide lock that when initiated prevented the slide from cycling after a shot was fired. As long as you prevent any action from cycling you would get the same results from most if not all semi-autos.
Im disappointed and it's unfortunate that you are no longer intimately involved at Inrange, however I feel its in good hands, and if not for you, I probably wouldn't have found the gem of a channel Karl has made it. The historical vignettes, for example, are extremely fascinating, and its kinda a shame they're not as popular as other content over there.
I love the vignettes and I have a suggestion for him to do one that's a small event but lead to something that's still used today. That it took place locally is a cool side benefit.

The issue is that I think they need to either ban or regulate this stuff, but the law says its legal. The break down is they can't get congress to pass new laws to regulate stupid shit while leaving normal guns alone. Just pass a NFA 2021 addition saying bumpstocks, binary triggers, and other triggers like the FRT-15 are regulated items, need a background check and a normal $200 NFA tax stamp. Maybe please the zomg no gun law people by adding that you *can* register 1:1 scale machineguns that are pre-ww2 and over a certain weight no matter current status or manufacture date. No one's going to roll into 7-11 and rob it with a 37mm maxim.
@@derekp2674 they can petition to have that right restored after having been convicted of a felony, but that's most often granted to non-violent felons. That having been said, the standard of what is a "felony" is often simply nonsense. That term encompasses murderers and rapists, but also repeat minor drug possesion offenses and financial crimes like insider trading. The revocation of rights is a pretty questionable in my opinion; no one, who has been determined to be safe enough to release back into the general public, should be denied their natural rights. If you think someone can't be trusted to own a firearm or vote, then they probably can't be trusted among the populace either.
Both Karl and Ian have stated that it was a time issue and nothing else. If there was something going on between them, who knows, but I'm not sure how one would read into anything else. Ian literally just laid out everything he was working on. Karl is definitely into promoting guns for all walks of life, but I've never heard him say you shouldn't be able to own any particular kind of gun save that Thunderstruck POS, but that was because it sucked.
52:50 Theoretically you could call the Desert Eagle a direct impingement system because the gas acts directly on a component attached to the bolt carrier (which is the slide)... but in reality the components are probably a *little* too divorced to call it that.

Regarding syncronized machineguns in aircraft: The propeller speed of a WW1 era airplane was around of 1200RPM. So with a two bladed propeller, the rate of fire of the machinegun would need to exceed 2400RPM for it to fire twice between each blade, which is about 4-5 times faster than the actual rate of fire of machineguns of the time was. The propeller speed was quite a lot higher than the cyclic rate of the machinegun, so the engine speed has a minimal effect on the actual rate of fire. In fact, most syncronizer mechanisms only bothered to trigger the gun on one side of the propeller instead of both. I vaguely seem to recall some US tests in the interwar period using a machinegun which cycle was powered directly by the engine, which gave it a very high rate of fire (for it's time) as well as a natural syncronization with the propeller.
To add to the propeller question, the propeller also has a top speed, when the tip approaches the speed of sound. This can be wiggled around by changing the length of your prop, for instance, but I’d imagine it’d end up with an overall pretty similar rate of fire with either. That’s the ceiling for prop speed, so the gun would have to work with that constraint
This is the first Q&A I've watched since I joined the Patreon. Even though my questions didn't get answered, the Q&As are a lot more fun to watch somehow. I'm already looking forward to the next one.
I remember years ago thinking up essentially the FRT trigger concept as a way to skirt the NFA. It was entirely something that could be done mechanically, but the problem is that it ignores the spirit of the law, even while following the letter. The point of the NFA's section on machine guns was to make it so high ROF couldn't be achieved without some kind of repeated action from the user. So in the case of the FRT (and bump stocks), you just need to pull back, and keep pulling back. You don't have to oscillate your finger cause it does that for you. Essentially, it is a single function of the trigger, it's just the trigger pushes your finger forward so you don't have to. From a neurological perspective, you are only pulling back on the trigger once, a single function. So I could very much see a legal interpretation that bans both FRTs and bump stocks as full auto because "function" is defined very broadly.
Intent is quite the wall to hide behind while the 2nd amendment exists. The ATF doesn't have a leg to stand on except for use of force, legitimized by being a federal agency. It's essentially if there was a giant gang (well, 5000 people), but the government said "Omni domni, you're legit because I say so. Go forth."
@@dogboy0912 You don't have to agree with a law to understand it. I don't think we should be barred from registering new full auto weapons personally, but I have to agree that was the legislation's intent (because it was). There are plenty of laws I understand but vehemently disagree with both their intent and text. Also the main intent with the 2nd amendment was giving common citizens the ability to overthrow the government, something small arms can't do anymore, so that point is kinda moot. We would need to legalize tanks, drones, fighter jets etc to let people do that, and I shouldn't have to explain why that would be a bad idea. Modern military power has to be centralized and industrialized to be effective, which goes counter to the ideas behind the 2nd amendment (that of a populist revolution).
@@FumbleSquid touché, but to anyone reading, I for one do believe we should have civilian nuclear aircraft carriers and the like. I also don't believe small arms should be discounted as an effective means of force in this era. The mobilization and preparation it takes to employ more advanced weaponry as well as the implications (the government needs to win its own people, not simply beat them) plays to the advantage of the people. It takes a village to get an aircraft and tanks moving, at least with the way the U.S operates
@@dogboy0912 You know those aren't going to be "civilian" carriers right? They're gonna be Amazon, Musk, Koch, Petroleum industry, and/or banking conglomerate carriers. You need capital to fund such things, and almost all of that is not in the hands of your average revolutionary. And it wouldn't even be used as a check against US government force, it would actually be used in a neo-colonial expansion. The government would be ecstatic about such a thing because it would allow them to destabilize and occupy foreign territory while remaining "neutral." Those companies would never waste such a large expense on merely "keeping the government on it's toes," there's no money to be made in that, but there is money in taking over African nations for resources. Oh and just to make this really clear that this is a bad idea: you would get PRC funded para-military organizations which get their money through shell companies. You'd be handing over our country to rich foreign influences. Small arms can be effective, but not to win a war to depose an entire military. They can, at best, make occupation costly, which only really matters if it's a foreign occupation. Imo what would really be effective is a massive industrial strike which would shut down their ability to maintain the machines of war. But that would require nation wide labor unions, and I can already guess what you would think of those.
@@FumbleSquid I also wouldn't count on the entire military sticking around for the government to wage a civil war. I find many are in the service despite their hatred or distrust for the government, due to reasons resembling your previous point about the need for centralized military to protect a country. Despite its flaws, I think we agree it is still good enough to defend and live in, but who knows. In such extremis, I think many would find their enlistment or commission to be conditional and identify the country as the people rather than the government.
One very good reason to go to 9x19mm rather than .455 Webley Automatic would be that the 9x19mm uses about half the lead, brass, and copper. And, since you're talking about SMG ammo, primarily, you're already expecting this round to have high consumption rates compared to pistols. Keep in mind that this is about the same time the British Army decided that .380/200 (basically a heavy bullet .38S&W) was perfectly adequate in terminal effectiveness, with a benefit of better controllability. It seems likely that they'd accept the more powerful 9x19mm (that was already well combat tested by 1918/1919) as equally adequate. In fact, pushing 9x19mm into SMG service may well have pushed the British to adopt a 9x19mm pistol (probably a single stack, single action, likely of the Browning pattern) in lieu of the .380 Enfield revolvers.
As a non-native English speaker, a good thing to do in my experience, when you're watching something with subtitles, is to make a conscious effort to look away from them from time to time, and get your brain used to discerning the sounds alone
On the subject of FN P90 mag reliability. I have personally witnessed one issue at a winter ACTS match here in Michigan. (2-gun competition I believe you remember) It also may have been at one of Steve Fisher's carbine classes, but I think it was a match. In extreme cold, the mag shrinks enough to cause feeding issues. This was Battle Creek in Jan. or Feb. 10 years ago.

I'd just like to add an anecdote about the Finnish Nagants. My grandfathers cousin was serving on the front in the fall of 1941 and was pulling guard duty in a burning forest. A Soviet officer came riding towards him on a horse and was told to surrender but he tried to ride off and my grandpa's cousin shot him off his horse and took his scoped m91/30, nagant revolver and most importantly to him, the officer's horse. He went on to win a riding competition in his unit with that horse but then it was decided that an enlisted man can't have a horse that fine and it was taken from him. Later on the scoped mosin was hidden as part of the post-war Finnish underground gun hideouts and the the 1895 nagant was converted to .22 caliber I think in the 60s. Today my grandfather still has both the mosin and nagant in his possession.
My addition to Ian's response on the Archduke Ferdinand question: Find army officers that have proven themselves to be tactically exceptional, arm them with Remington 1908 rifles and 1911 pistols. Place them in the Duke's car as well as cars in front of and behind, and scatter some in the crowd also. Train them to look for potential threats. Have alternate/escape routes planned. He likely still won't survive but at least this way he'll have a fighting chance. Anyone considering an attack would know it would be the last thing they ever do.
About the underbarrel grenade launcher vs rifle grenades french troops in Afghanistan also saw the difference. Not only any soldier can be a mortar unit since you just have to put your grenade and shoot but the lethality was betetr against entrenched/barricaded ennies. The area of effect of a rifle grenade is bigger since it packs way more explosive and blast material. US soldiers had troubles to clean a room with 40x46mm low pressure grenades, while it wasn't an issue with a rifle grenade. On the main downside, the weight and size of those grenade limit the number you can bring with you far more than 40x46mm grenades.
Duolingo is horrifically bad. This isn’t a fringe opinion either. Even as a secondary learning tool, it’s derided by linguistics and casual learners, let alone as a primary language learning method. Unfortunately there’s no “balance” with it as Ian puts it. You could dedicate your entire life to Duolingo and still not speak another language, not even kidding.

What he stated is standard American jurisprudence. A lot of people for example confuse the Bill of Rights as the only rights you are allowed to have when its more of a Bill of Specific things the government can't and shouldn't interfere with (even if in reality it tends to swing whichever way). Asking the government for permission to be allowed to manufacture something is something that is simply unthinkable. Apple doesn't ask the government permissions everytime it builds a new Mac.
Question at 51:46 - a Desert Eagle does as you describe. The gas is vented from a fixed barrel into a piston head mounted/machined directly to the slide.
Desert Eagle is counted as a long stroke gas piston action. It just has near non existent piston rod due to the slide covering so much of the distance between the gas port and the rear where action lies. So all there is to the piston rod is the small stem of a rod, that is slotted to the front wall of the slides forward extension. Then again to me is it long stroke vs DI is kinda cosmetic. Both are long stroke actions. The gas directly pushes on a part that travels the full action travel. Instead of there being a middle man travel restricted "kicker" in between. Best I could run categorizing is "if it vents the gas out near at the chamber, magazine and action parts, it is usually counted as DI" and "if it vents and pushes at something far nearer to the front of the barrel, it is usually counted as long stroke piston". Since there is odd ball cases of both with DI's that have rod or nub or something, that goes into the gas port, but that kinda isn't full out cylinder. While some piston heads wrap around the head of the gas block port and thus are more of the traditional "cavity into which the DI tube wents" likes. However it is at the end of a long piston rod.... Sooo yeah tomatoe, tomato, long strokes both.
One of the greatest breakfasts I've ever had was two measures of Glenfiddich, neat, and a 16 ounce venison steak in Edinburgh back in 2009.
