WHAT'S IN THE BOX? Opening a Crate of Ethiopian Rifles 

Make sure to include a few oddball experimental designs just in case Carl told him to not take French antique rifles from strangers.

Didn't we see that when he went to Finland?

Like "Free French rifles"? 😜

You Most likely get him, If you say there is a otoman rechambered Lebel of 1915 with markings, changed sights and Well documented History. And don't forget with original sling.

I'm positive that Ian was a Legionnaire in a past life. Maybe several past lives. I bet he salivates whenever La Marseillaise starts playing...

he wasn't successful - ez to tell when one is thoroughly enjoying it.... wasn't that a Berthier near is feet at the end of the video? no coincidence!

I love his enthusiasm for historic military rifles

Chrismas come early

i still can't believe they weren't even given a quick wrap of cloth, before being moved half-way around the world.

Thinking the same thing

rum dripping from nose.. XD I must be more careful when scrolling comments that burns!

A dream come true for us all

Got any .32 French Long?

WHERE IS THE 32 FRENCH LONGUE

Supposedly he'll show up even immediately if you do that whilst holding a copy of his book on French rifles.

but you better have a french rifle for him to hold when he appears or else you'll anger him and you don't want that

Wonder how many of These French Rifles were dropped.. As their holders Ran away.

@@NoNo-fy3kr Now, you know that was a malicious rumor started by the Americans to hide their running away from the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge.

@@markfryer9880 Why were some French tanks made to be faster in reverse? That gets the noggin jogging.

HEYOOO, ZING!

Do vampires crack open a boy with the cold ones?

This comment is tremendous, sir! Thank you. You really are a lizard wizard.

@@willcollis5516 no that’s just catholic priests..... JK

To morticians this takes on a totally different meaning

That made Oi larf...:-)))

Free labor. Hell, Ian probably even paid him for the labor!

@@therake8897 That comment made my day

This is like the second video they have done together. They are getting less shady now but didn't sell cracked stocks versions of guns when I paid for one full price that was delaminating.

"A prize in every box" - what a Cracker Jack idea!

*that was 2 weeks before the shipment arrived....

​@@foedspaghetti3290Ian hibernated until his body sensed the presence of french firearms technology drawing closer

But he has the german accent of a 80s B-film villain!

You caught hin at work,he dresses like that at homelol 🤣🐊🥾👑

He hardly even looks like Nick Cage... I call BS

There’s less money-and far less cocaine-in the business of importing legal rifles.

Garlic ? 🤣

Did the smell of piss give it away?

You could smell the stale bagguettes

@@DaveHines1 onions.. fried in oil.. [French military song]

What are you going to do to appease him for summoning him without the chauchat???

he is the jesus of firearms. this why that guns magically appear because his miracles.

😂

Yeah hit me up Damn it

That'll be 15.99 pls

probably charge you less than these guys will for one rat eaten rifle.

@@jacksonlewis4365 LMAO Yea .. But you do understand. Just how costly it is to get them into the country right? Its Not cheep at all. And the bullshit you have to go though is.. Well to say RED taped up the ass.. Is like sayin Water is Damp.

I'll take two! make mine mostly Garands and M1s if you can, but I'll take anything!

The key to free labour and an ad.

One French rifle. That’s .5% French content.

@@john-paulsilke893 I've seen Uli's video of the Berthier rifles... with Ian. Kid meet Candy Store.

@@skoshman1 I think this would be true for most viewers of this kind of content.

*walks on water to get to Uli*

Yes, but only delivers the FAMAS.

There could be anything in the box! Even a BOAT!

Pretty sure this one actually came from Elbonia.

Jokes on him it's actually a crate full of Makarovs.

nothing mystery about it. the deliberately packed it so that Ian would make a video, giving them publicity.

Ian's pin up girl of the month- 90 year old woman holding rare rifle

Clearly Uli subscribes to the 'if it's so packed nothing can move, nothing can get damaged!' school of shipping.

After the life those guns have already had, i'm fairly sure they'd survive a few bumps in transit.

The longer you take to move on the more persons hear of of you as a person perfect for a bribe to get your stuff out of the country.

I wanted to get some more stuff from RTI but the extreme time they took to ship a couple of guns my dad ordered, nearly two months. And the fact that the carcano he got had a cracked stock. Even though he'd paid extra for hand select. Makes me really hesitant to do so. And this method of packing kind of explains that.

It's a variation of my Crash Packed Theory. If you throw everything in your vehicle in a mess, when you have a crash it should sort itself out nicely. Place rifles in crate with minimal effort and care and turbulence plus rough handling of the crate will ensure that the rifles sort themselves out and make it easier to remove them from the crate. Over think the packing and you end up taking longer to unpack for no real gain in protection.

Reminds me of a certain Apex Legends character...

Ian is just amazing!

Amen

Amen

Ave Nex alea.

Amen

Hallowed be thy name, Rabbi

Because Ethiopia was mostly Christian and had not been de jure colonized, merely occupied, it's clearly a part of Europe.

@@jevinliu4658 The Communists destroyed Ethiopia. Go figure.

@@redthunder238 They destroy everything, sooner or later. As soon as you have two bricks to put atop one another, someone starts thinking "I should have one of those bricks."

@@dansands8140 Herm..... Thats True .. Then you have the Capitalist way.. You need to pay (Me the Creator (Copyright), The Government(Tax's)) a fee for each brick you make. Also you are required to Make them a Certain way and only that way. You have to make sure they conform to all laws.. ETC ETC ETC You are Also subject to lawsuit if the brick you make ends up making someone mad. Moral of the Story.. Both Systems are inherently flawed.

@@NoNo-fy3kr You think capitalism is a system that consists of government taking your money and telling you what to do? Thats 100% the exact opposite. Capitalism is the voluntary exchange of goods and/or services, from the supplier to the customer. Any government involvement is NOT capitalism. At all. Moral of the story, you don't actually understand what capitalism is. Taxes and regulations are absolutely NOT part of capitalism.

Nothing says a proper unboxing video like a crowbar.

@@Tallmios Should have done it Gordon Freeman Style

It's the only unboxing video I've seen that doesnt spend 5 minutes talking about the fucking box itself.

Amen on most others unboxing being most boring! This was Great Ian!!!👍 I usually don’t comment but you were spot on on your comment!

It's why this video doesn't have any dislikes RN

It made me a bit uncomfortable when Ian *didn't* check the chamber before waving it around.

I think his excitement got the better of his common sense tbh: I wouldn't put my life in the hands of some dude working for a state arsenal disposal service on another continent, what does he give a fuck about me for?

@@edwardbarton1680 Only thing thay made me uncomfortable was the extremely dangerous IO AK and the terrible customer service that man continues to provide.

Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, Iraki...good job 👍

Special speed cleaning powder, clean your rifles faster than ever!

Gunpowder? 🤔

Brown brown

Wrong direction, it'd be heroin!

@@MostlyPennyCat who needs heroin anymore? The ccp sends us fentanyl and carfentanyl for free!

Haha same 😂

Its definitely not the same as watching someone take their iphone out of a box, an instruction manual, and a charging cable. Unboxing of tech items is dumb. Old stuff is cool though, guns, cars, old computer stuff.

Better than a screw missing... 😉

I’d buy that for a dollar!

I hope the screw wasn't damaged when Ian took it out. 'Cause there's nothing better than a good screw.

@@Hrodn Roflmao 🤣

Underrated comment

no way did that have 200 rifles in it.

Good.

Through copious use of good old reliable capitalism. What the yanks don’t realise us those people then divert some of the profits towards making even more guns.

@@IRMentat "and business is good" in the horn of Africa once again.

@@astrophotos8368 they didn't make any of these. As mentioned they came from all over Europe,The US, and England. They were making ammo though from 1886. Had a Swiss advisor.

no violation here, he has been able to do that since the ascension. :-)

it's not a violation of laws of any kind, it's a yet another miracle from him.

love that movie

I'll take 1ton please lol

Only saw that clip recently thanks to An Guy: Brandon Herrera

I see you're a man of taste.

The funniest part of it is that they did sell firearms by the weight. Which I find hilarous. Must have been a ton of more expensive variants in the mix.

And Ian did respond like such “The answer dear brother is unchanged. “

That's okay, Ian can have his fancy French Marine rifle. Uli already wrote that one off as an advertising expense.

It's an antique, not a firearm. Uli should let it go as payment in kind for the unboxing.

@@mfree80286 And the advertising.

"OK guys, let's clear out the old surplus from our old foreign sponsors and make some room for the new surplus from our new foreign sponsors."

"we have five AK-47s for each person in the country. We can sell these ancient rifles."

@@ScottKenny1978 funnily enough Ethiopian made AKs are apparently so bad that these manlichers are probably the better choice in combat.

@@MyILoveMinecraft maybe if the Mannlichers had clips that fit x39 ammo...

Warriors unboxing videos: Showing off French antique rifles

And no stowaways either 🕸🕷🦂

I enjoy that both unboxings were actually positive and it wasn't some boys vs girls nonsense either.

Mine are like that, though not for fear of them being damaged as I shoot my rifles regularly. More because I am a Brit, and one of the stipulations behind getting an FAC is correct storage of your weapons in a properly fitted gun safe. Hell, one my my SMLE's was my Great Grandfathers, he carried it from 1916 - 1918. If he carried it through the Somme, Pascheandale and the battles of 1918 then I am pretty sure it can handle a bit of a beating.....

@@alganhar1 Having your great grandfathers' rifle is about as cool as it gets.

@@Qingeaton Yeah, especially one with that much history behind it.

Seems like someone in country is smugglers Ng these out. And I'd bet not legally

@@marzero116 lemme just upload my illigal gun smuggling operation to youtube real quick.... I'm sure Ethiopia is chomping at the bit to export ANYTHING, let alone a few ancient guns.

I dribbled white love wee when the opened it

@@peterclarke7240 the salty yoghurt slinger was having twinges

How are you so sure he isn't lol.

@@stefciok supported by "Patreon"

@@Snubrevolver It's all subterfuge. ;)

No bet. If I was Uli, I'd have already written that one off as an advertising expense.

No kidding , getting Ian interested like this when you have a shitload of new stock is like magic. I bet they put aside every oddball french rifle or obvious FW fodder.

In Ian's case I think it's more like "hold my scotch"

More like hold my Cognac.

This is definitely my favorite internet unboxing so far. If they get a couple crates of cold war era rifles and submachine guns I could definitely see myself acting like a kid opening his new Xbox.

I read the same, and now wondering what the difference would be between both boxes.

I definitely want to see the Elbonian crate video

Ethiopian spies occasionally self-identify as Elbonians in order to throw other Intelligence Agencies off their scent.

@@Wavemaninawe and elbonian spies identify as Ethiopian. The really clever ones identify as elbonian, and then you fall in their trap.
