roguetechie Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 I have now bought hard copies of all his books I "early adopted" heh... But I really do buy the hard copies to support authors who do good work... Or sometimes I just PayPal them donations. If your book sucks though I can become a little vocal about it's suckery I still desperately need a copy of Peter Stiff's Taming the landmine... I probably butchered his name there but I am on pain meds tonight lol. I'd love even a poor scan or digital copy or buy a copy if any of you own one. I have just got a big chunk of cash dropped in my lap last week and I'm taking the opportunity to buy at least $500 in books for my collection. Speaking of which, can you guys recommend specific Brassey's design books on firearms or etc? I also went a bit crazy building an epic shopping cart at both German manuals website that sells all manner of translated manuals in languages I don't speak! (Makarov and AK tool manual woohoo!) I actually have voluntarily instituted my own internet impulse buy cooling off period program because of such lists lol... If I reopen the tab in 3 days and no longer need it like AIR... I remove it from cart lol. I also bought a new phone today to bring on my road trip to Wyoming with my brother this summer. I am proud of this rationalization too... I "needed" a spare digital camera for the trip, and this one coincidentally has a phone attached to the camera.... *shrug* TBF it's a 20 megapixel kinda plenoptic camera though which is a massive upgrade and should help me make passable photos etc of the museum guns.

Less than 5 minutes in and he has made three major fundamental errors already. Here are my notes: Quote The chief engineer behind the AR-15 and AR-10 was Eugene Stoner - Nope, Stoner was only responsible for the AR-10. The AR-15 was developed by Arthur Miller and Jim Sullivan Springfield Armory - "Steel and Wood is what makes a true fighting rifle" WRONG. SA was definitely looking into aluminum and polymer - in fact the T25 rifle of 1951, a product of the Armory, was constructed partially of aluminum. Full power rifle cartridges were the order of the day - well, that was the standard, but remember that the Hall report was commissioned by none other than Colonel Studler himself, and the SPIW program was run via Springfield Armory. So, this matter is much more complicated than it first seems. So, I am not going to watch the rest of the video. And I recommend everyone else give it a pass, as well.

I don't know why, but it doesn't seem like there's anybody who can sit down in front of a monitor and work out a correct history of, well, anything firearms-related. Even Chris Bartocci's histories of the M16 and L85 have serious and fundamental factual issues (I think he even calls the L85 a derivative of the EM-2!).

EnsignExpendable Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Interesting article about a compensator for the Mauser C96 allegedly used by French policemen in Shanghai (in Russian) http://gunsforum.com/topic/1647-shanhayskiy-mauzer/ The compensator didn't really improve the precision of fire. Ulanov theorizes that it could be a fake planted by some guys who wanted a payoff or a personally tuned device that didn't really help anyone else or could even hinder them.
