So I should sleep before work at 5am.... buttttt......

I think at 5:04 you say "smokeless powder" instead of "black powder" when referencing the swiss compressed black powdered cartridge.

2:53 It looks like a revolver, but it's a pistol?

19:14ish Clapboard bleed into audio

Wayne Dygert

Still out of my price range. Dammit!

Ronald Carrier

At 24:41 you say "9mm or 7.65 parabellum," which sounds awkward.

Hunter Compton

At 36:18 you describe the 1904 Luger as a revolver when mentioning the back strap markings.

Nice episode, I find the togglelock facinating. There were a couple of things I noticed. I believe acording to Ian on Forgotten weapons, in his video of the 27. october 2021, the coiled main spring was actually an invention of the Dutch arsenal system, for their trial pistols. Allso, one slightly funny detail, I believe a ship of the line (27:48) is a three masted sailing vessel with two full gun decks, I do not think the German navy was still sailing around in those by 1890s. As always, great episode!

Gerald King

I noticed that the soldier with the C96 stock attached and slung around his neck has the pistol cocked as well. 1:00:08

Today this is true, but in the 1890s-1920s the terms hadn't quite formalized yet. In Naval journals of the time, ironclad, ship of the line, line of battle ship, dreadnought, and just battleship were all used interchangeably. I think the Washington treaty and the legal definition of what a battleship was caused the terms to finally stick

Joel Mullan

Ship of the line is still occasionally used informally. Eg a destroyer is a ship of the line in a modern navy, a mine sweeper is not.

Brock Gouett

I noticed the same thing. Like it should be “even without smokeless powder” or “even with black powder”

Guido Schriewer

well if one's got the cash there are 45 lugers out there. hard to imagine that bolt in a 10mil though. maybe that extra line of sight length but the rear kind of ruins the look, doesn't it. the 50m group was kind of impressive argument there. and some think some plastic stock shoved up the grip of some glock would be some new idea I bet ya. lol.

30:18 you call it a revolver. For shame, Othais. For shame.

Quinn Monnin

I have a 1914 Erfurt LP.08 that’s been refinished but shoots fine. I also have a repro drum mag and stock, and I live in the Charleston area if you wanted to test it at the longer range. Soon enough I plan to get a P.04 pattern shooter, too.

Bruce Brodnax

All handguns are pistols [because "Pistoia"] but not all pistols are revolvers [because Colt couldn't spell for sh!t?]

Bruce Brodnax

The rounds are 9mm Parabellum or 7.62 [7.65?] Parabellum, so it's not awkward at all...

Mae: "It sounds too much like 'loser' is the problem" What I expected Othias to say: "Well, two world wars..."
