Coooooool

I thought you said in your podcast that you were going to try spreading out eps that are the same topic. Y’all said a second parter never gets the numbers.

Wyatt Haywood

If I remember correctly they said they want to do that but they need to build up a backlog first

David Herman

It's not the size of the hammer; it's how you use it guys

33:45 Graphic shows a Red 9, but Othais's voice and figures on screen seem to reference the 7.63mm version.

Matteo Manino

A couple times you show a red 9 on screen speaking about other contracts/7,63 cal. As a sidenote, I hope to see a 9x25 on screen next time.

So many one liners that have merchandise potential… - Take a look, it's in a book - One gun per woman - This thing makes the Villar Perosa look sensible (subtitle: C96ed out for now) - (it still has good stopping power,) size doesn't mater - Science with Othais [While dual wielding stocked pistons, and voicing gun noises] - Somehow our Mae-versations are turning into the podcast - Oh boy, did it… Already excited for future C96 episodes. I would love to know if the 20 round fixed magazine makes a better carbine front grip, or how much a rate reducer or 3 round burst would effect full auto usability.

I get hammer bite when I use mine with the stock - Might be why it became a small ring? Both mine are 80s imports from China (C96, and 1930) relined to 9mm - Both have same issue with stocks as you described - but always fun to shoot.

9mm parabellum, the most difficult ammo to source in the last 1.5 years

The twenty-shot C96 doubles as a knuckleduster.

All hail the mighty Red 9. PS: Rittmeister is how a captain of the cavalry was called. PPS: NS = Neue Sicherung = New Safety

Alex

That composite video comparing the recoil of 7.65 vs 9mm is a great new feature.

Tim Brintnall

Another great video, I didn't see any errors that I know if and I have read several books on the subject. As always you do a fantastic job with your presentation and strike the right balance of history and demonstration. Thanks for all your hard work guys.

On this video I really noticed your range conditions in the background are a new level of accuracy in simulation for WW1 trench warfare !!!

Mr. Lee

Georg Luger had an odd habit of including pre-existing designs in his patents, and then suing to claim he was the original inventor. He spent 8 years fighting Browning over the patent of the cam ramp of the luger action, a design Browning had invented years earlier for a toggle-action automatic shotgun.

Planescaped

From all I have learned, the world of patents at the turn of the century sounded like a real moustache-twirling, Andrew Ryan-esque cutthroat nightmare. Industrialists seemed more catty than highschool girls.

“Complicated and dubiously helpful, nobody liked this.” That describes so many things I’ve done in my life.

Bruce Brodnax

I habitually upvoted the vid over on YT, but does that even *do* anything for the pre-release vids? Maybe make the official release get recommended more often by Al Gore's Rhythm section?

CandRsenal

We're trying to keep from having multiple sets on the same topic. The nature of researching episodes means couplets are always easier on us for streamlining. However, trying to do like... 8 episodes leading to the 1911 in one block is a bit much. So we're trying to break it up ahead of time... which is kinda crazy hard to do given the current schedule.

CandRsenal

In theory it could add to our subscriber satisfaction? I'm not sure what all YT even tracks or manipulates any more.
