    Same. We get about one last go before it's all apples and butternut squash in PA until winter, so I was just sucking down cantaloupes and red/yellow watermelons. They make great drinks as well. Between horror stories about Bolsheviks and "re-assignments" in the old country, my Ukrainian babysitters used to feed us this stuff they called Vareniki (lived in a neighborhood of displaced Central and Eastern European families). They were sort of like pierogies. They probably weren't as tasty as I remember, but whenever I see pierogies, I get nostalgic for vareniki.

    I'll make the obvious joke, but you know those holsters have to be re-adjusted to fit a much larger circumference of body+stretched-out XXXL T-shirt.

    I liked that video because it was the first time I'd seen an Carry video not made by a total fucking lunatic.

    I told you guys the G11 will come back I told you dog.

    The 34 seems so much more practical as an lmg in almost every way besides barrel changes.

    Polish stuff is pretty cool to me. They have an interesting habit of taking someone else's concept and toying with it a bit. I especially dig the Browning wz. 1928 for some reason.

    I'm kind of spoiled, working in the same building as a bakery. I'll usually cut down a focaccia, throw on some avocado, tomato, and queso fresco (basic milk cheese, like every lactose culture has a version of this), and some lime juice. Meat if I have it, but that's usually a random choice.

    Wasn't it always Ambrose who liked to jerk off about the sons of democracy innovating ways to achieve orders?

    I want this as the MG in the next Rise of the Triad game.

    I've seen enough Bubba'd Mosins to the point where it doesn't bother me as much anymore.

    I don't think they got to Europe until early 1915.

    Enfield for practical purposes, but that second-from-bottom Mosin has some really nice-looking wood.

    Didn't the Auto-5 work like that? I seem to remember them having an odd-looking ejection.

    A Ronson to surpass Metal Gear.

    I guess anyone who can check my Steam history knows I'm a little too hooked to even really talk about the game.

    We've had that fight more than once on another board, and it's one of my favorite myths (and one of the most common ones when I give museum tours). It's just such an impressive gap in deduction on the part of the believer: "Clip goes ping. Ping means reload. Reload means open to attack. Can use ping to trick." It assumes so much on the part of the opposing soldier's lack of intelligence, or assumes that so many engagements were one-on-one close-range battles enough for these people to believe that it was a commonplace sight. I guess I should be thankful that some of these people break the mold of the "Aryan Superman Soldier" that they believe a German would genuinely be that dumb.

    I hear <allied country> feared <comparable weapon with cooler appearance> so much that they <unbelievable story, seriously it was war, they just shot at each other> Particularly long nicknames have also been kind of suspicious to me. to me. Just imagine soldiers going: "There's a Hitler's Buzzsaw set up across that field!" "There was a Grave for Seven Brothers that provided support. Unfortunately the Grave For Seven Brothers hit a land mine and..." And so forth. Maybe some of these were joke names they'd come up with and use offhand, but I usually smell bullshit when an author implies that it was some kind of common, widespread usage. Given militaries' propensities for shortening language for easier identification and sake of brevity, I don't think soldiers "commonly referred to these weapons as..." whatever.

    Speaking from personal experience, but if a video is about just seeing a gun fire, I'm just gonna watch a gun fire until I don't want to see it fire any more. I don't think I've watched a Hickock45 video where I didn't just skip to him shooting the thing, then closing it when he was done shooting the thing. In your sit and chat videos, I'm watching to hear you guys sit and chat. The whole "list" thing is also a draw-in because I can see the video is ten minutes long, and a "top 5" or something is going to mean around two minutes per gun and I won't see it fire. This means I have an idea of what I'm getting into and when I'm going to get out of it. That's at least how I see it, anyway.

    Usually seems to be a center-of-balance sort of deal, and sort of knowing which parts of your body absorb shock the best, kind of like a worker who can use all parts of their body to lift and hold heavy objectives without necessarily being all that physically strong. Center of gravity is a big thing as well. It's why a lot of shorter guys are good at hand-to-hand martial arts type stuff. A different build can have a different balance. That's just observance more than anything, though. I've only ever fired two different FA guns in my life.

    Any reason to use my new air compressor (another gift from gramps) is a good idea. It's mostly seen action blowing moths away from the workbench light.

    Now that we've been able to get all the useless shit out of my grandparents' house (they were Wal-Mart bin junkies), we're starting to get to the good stuff. I finally found the High Standard .22 I've been trying to find in that mess forever. It's the only pistol I've ever really been able to shoot with any accuracy, but it jams about every fourth shot.

    Always forget to include this guy, my most-used rifle: It's a Savage 4C my grandpa bought in the '50s and my dad gave to me. This is the guy I always take on my hikes and camping trips. It's the only gun I have that's actually fed me. I really like it because it's one of the few .22s I've handled that feels comfortable for a grown man to fire and I've had no problem pegging rabbits and frogs at 100 feet with it.

    Still my favorite shitpost on the WoT Forums.

    I got to admit, the reasons above are why I don't really get into most gun channels. The amount of times I've clicked away as some shaky video with a mush-mouthed hick in an iron lung starts with "Uhhhhhh this is uhhh the uh Sturm-Gyooer 44 and uhh fun fact actually it was uhhh actually Adolf Hitler himself actually who actually uhhh." It's not really always action that grabs me. What usually grabs me by your videos is clear, un-obscured views of the guns, occasional action, and good conversation between you and Patrick. Likewise, for Forgotten Weapons, I know he's going to give me good views of the interesting and moving parts, and a massive dump of information without any sort of politics or hyperbole. Setting a tone of what's to come instead of just mumbling with no direction can help at least someone like me pay attention.
