I’m in Charleston next month - where should I eat??

K. D. Campbell

I was Bay State born and bred and I’ve never heard of a “Trenton” Massachusetts. Could it be Taunton?

H Norman Angell

Why a pix of a last ditch WWII weapon on a WWI era firearms story? Keep up the good work, esp Mae's demonstrations!

Bradwan

Have you ever wondered if you were Hugo Borchardt come back to life? If someone does a history of firearm videos In a century or so: "...and just as Othias was getting ready for a massive t-shirt campaign they all got Covid. Boy that man could not catch a break!"

Wayne Dygert

Happy to see you guys feeling better. To my eye the design is attractive in the same way an Italian sports car is. All the swoopy curves promise sexy performance... Whether or not the engineering can deliver on it ;)

Probably to signify that this is still sort of a rough version of the final product, since the patreon's get to help iron out any possible flaws they spot.

You usually don't get weird, sticky out, bits on Italian sports cars though. Apart from the mad FIAT Abarth 695 SS with it's permanently open hood!

I second investigating this. There's a possibility there's a town with an old village within the town limits (e.g. Newton Falls, Newton Corner, etc).

Wayne Dygert

What I was picturing was an Alfa Romeo (pretty much any model) or the Italian design of the Karmann Ghia body. The Fiat Abarth was sporty (ish) but not a sports car to my way of thinking.

H Norman Angell

If memory serves.... it is a Walther stamped sheet metal replacement for the P-38

Power?! .30 Luger is just under 300 foot pounds, early 9mm Luger was just over per your Red Nine episode. And both are above .38 Special. Or am I missing something?

The original was not a sports car, just an insanely dangerous bit of thin, cheap steel (bit like the man driven torpedos the Italians 'sunk' 2 British battleships with at Alexandria, which settled on the bottom, so the Axis thought they were OK. If either had heeled over the Allies could have lost the war. Sorry that's nowt to do with the FIAT, let alone the Luger).

Jason

Nice video. At 50:06 your say the Swiss P'00/29 served until after WWI. Don't you mean WWII? I thought the '29 Luger was the standard Swiss side arm until replaced by the SIG P-210 (as the Swiss military's P49)

Doug G

The only thing that I saw "wrong" was the fact that Mae seemed to have raided Othias' closet for the shirt. Either you need to separate a bit or joint together in the Voltro-esqce "Mae-thias" bot to take over gun videos. 😀

I think Bruno's animations need to be archived in the Library of Congress.

David Herman

I don't know if this is worth redoing, but Mae's voiceover in the animation sounds a bit robotic. The words she emphasizes just seem a bit off to me.

Heini Sauerkraut

at 50:00 Othais tells that the Luger 06/29 was further refined for cost saving and served until after world war 1 (ONE), and was then replaced by the SIG210 in 1948. He should have said world war 2 (TWO).

The P-38 replaced the Luger. The Luger was around nearly 40 years before the P-38 was invented. Or so i recall...

Minion

Didn't spot anything that hasn't been said above, but I must say I love the cut-aways in the animation. Ta muchly Bruno

Guido Schriewer

extremly well explains that action. good job.

Guido Schriewer

nope. somewhatless umph than 9mil luger. bit slower and less energy. would love to try a 30luger swiss model though. for sportive/range use,.... should be fun, assume the ammo cost even more than 9mm cause... who shoots 7,65? --love/hate relationship. always kind of liked the looks but actually owning one shooting one regularly.... not so sure about that.

Mae Responding: Depends on your taste, but Cod Father has decent fried fish, Phuong has some good Vietnamese, if you're looking for a place with standard food (burgers, pulled pork, potatoes the size of your face) go to Jim 'n Nicks.

Bruce Brodnax

@ roughly 34 minutes you talk about the "S-shaped spring" (s/b "strut" or "link") that connects one leg of the toggle-joint to the flat springs.
