Mae, what did you do to your glasses? They look like they got bent up before filming the assessment section.

2021-05-03 04:53:03 +0000 UTCTypical of most collector orgs, the membership is literally dying off and they're looking for ways to reach out to a younger demographic. I pointed them at the Tripple Lock ep and a couple of Unloaded eps where you discussed the exact problem they're facing. I think they'd be open to any ideas, and a collaberation with Roy Jinks would be awesome. Kind of the flip side of the R. L. Wilson story...

2021-05-02 17:08:57 +0000 UTCGotcha. I’ll miss the snarky Othais intro comments, but I think it does make for a nice clean opening!

2021-05-02 02:26:22 +0000 UTCSublime. Awful and sublime.

2021-05-02 02:20:19 +0000 UTCOh? Do you know what the project is?

2021-05-02 02:19:19 +0000 UTCThe usual intros had to go bc we can't always find images of the guns in action AND when we leave WWI we will lose public domain protections

2021-05-02 02:18:53 +0000 UTCYes, but also the punch sorta means I can hit it with anything.

2021-05-02 02:18:21 +0000 UTCThe worst handgun that you love... has is reached Kel Tec levels?

2021-04-30 14:20:25 +0000 UTCI find my Bodeo more interesting now. It is still the most unpleasant handgun to shoot that I own, but it’s more intersting.

2021-04-29 23:19:27 +0000 UTCNot related to this ep, but expect to be contacted by the Smith & Wesson Collector's Association for some form of collaboration. Probably initially by snail mail to dodge the inbox-from-hell. My bad. Sorry, but not sorry... just thought you'd see it here sooner. Oh, and enjoyed the deeper dive wheel gun episode!

2021-04-28 01:01:44 +0000 UTCsignore glisenti kind of looks like an oooold Ian that lost hair, doesn't he. I think revolvers are WAY simpler than autoloaders. the cheap as it looks. it is impressive how simple the mechanics are yet still DA/SA and abadie. nickname isn't broomhandle by chance? that grip looks like one! simplicity and mass issue on cheap... surprising the soviets didn't copied it as they needed just that.

2021-04-27 11:04:09 +0000 UTCI hope it will be the norm, I like how it gives us a glimpse of the gun in action as an opening.

2021-04-27 08:59:44 +0000 UTCWhile I can totally appreciate Othias' admiration for the economy of construction in both labor and materials in the Bodeo I've gotta go with Mae's perspective . The engineering triumph is an ergonometric nightmare

2021-04-27 07:29:53 +0000 UTCAh my first full primer episode watching as a patron! So awesome.

2021-04-27 07:27:53 +0000 UTCSo, question....will there be a return of the usual intros, or is the Mae shooting demo just for the reworked episodes?

2021-04-27 05:18:35 +0000 UTCNice job on the update. Just one question: Were the faces of those two hammers polished? Asking for a, umm, friend…

2021-04-27 04:58:04 +0000 UTCTotally stoked to see the Bodeo return! Not at all a rerun. As a career scientist, I love it when someone comes out with new info on an interesting subject.

2021-04-27 04:30:04 +0000 UTCsorry for the rerun then.

2021-04-27 03:08:01 +0000 UTCNever believe it but I've sent the weekend going through the entire Italian arms playlist and just cleared the Chamelot-Delvinge and Chamelobodeo mini episode.

2021-04-27 02:19:52 +0000 UTCI recently purchased a Bodeo last year dated 1916. Enlisted model. Still in good shape except for one of the orginal grips has gotten loose from wear. I think it can still shoot but finding ammo is hard as hell now.
