>>64719346Correct.
Context is for kings.
>>64719292He must have terrible business sense and poor networking with collectors.Or just an inability to accept that there are a lot of guns that he'll never get shooting footage for.The aesthetic rebrand to look like some educational VHS tape host is baffling, especially from him trying to explain that it was socially necessary in the South. As though most his viewers aren't fellow hicks that know he's just being weird and neurotic.His other issue is being unable to stagger interesting and boring vids well enough. Instead of going tick-tock between boring vids and cool ones, you'd get months at a time dedicated to the lamest guns mankind ever built before an interesting one would come from the aether like a light in the black.
>>64719361>is that a typo? >on MY screen?>I will give this butter fingered fellow a proper scalding answer!I’m sorry I let you down anon, I was typing too fast
>>64719393>GlockThe sks is covered but the kar98k isn’t. At this rate the beretta m93 will have an episode before the mp40 and you will defend thisAnd no, make your own show is not a valid answer to criticism, Othais
>>64719608>op complains about presentations covering the five billionth mauser version>this op complains that they haven't covered his specific mauser versionThe duality of retarded anons.Patience is a virtue.
>>64719617>Kar98k, one of the most famous small arms in history>Argentinian Mauser Your calling them the same thing makes you the retarded anon, friend
>>64719292Daily reminder that Othais owes a large portion of his research to /k/>This Spanish revolver episode is now obsolete because a Belgian patent proves the three screws location was copied from this Irish one-offThe nigga used to think the Bodeo and Lebel revolver used chamelot delvigne lockwork until i started spamming pic related on /k/ revolver threads
>>64719675Doing the lord’s work anon
>>64719675lmao fagnus
>>64719675>I definitely was the first one to realize this similarity and not the guy paying a network of researchers to dig through French, Belgian, Dutch and German patent archives
>>64719292Book smart. Business dumb. Simple as. Also what happened between him and Mark the gunsmith? The official story is his content was hurting their al-gore-rythm, but as other anons have pointed out Othias is too dumb or doesn't actually care about that. I heard there was some disagreement over a project or something.
>>64719292im so bothered by how like 90% of guntube is obese, unkempt and thoroughly out of shape dudes. i can tolerate it from the history buff types but i really get annoyed when some obese retard goes on about the tactical merits of different types of gear when they look like they'd gas themselves out trying to lift a cheeto off the floor. sort yourselves out
>>64719292Autism and disregard for the haters. The man does what he wants to and I'm here for it, even as much as I prefer the comfy confines of the old studio.>>64719608Almost all mainline Mausers from 1871 to Kar98b have been covered, unless I'm missing something. In other words, the 98k is likely to pop up some time soon. Chronologically they're in the perfect position to do that, especially considering they just covered the Type 99 and the 1891/30.>>6471998390% of /k/ is like that too, I'd wager.>t. guilty
>>64719675>C&RsenalOthias is one of us and one of the handful of based gun youtubers including capandball and britishmuzzleloaders duelist1954, thekoba49 and gunblue490 who loved guns long before youtube even existed and just wanted to share their autism as opposed to just being pro grifters.
>>64719840I went off anvil gunsmithing when I saw him associating with IV8888 and making him a 'tacatical' martini personally means the fat rude bastard part was not just an act. On the other hand Othias seem just like a decent blokeThe koba49 also comes accross as a cunt but he has massive autism to the point of being tarded with his entire brain just focused on ancient guns and making them go bang. On the other hand mark and eric just seem to be the sane enough to be actual cunts. Othias is autistic but mostly sane and the sane bit is probably fun to have a beer with. Its like bloke onn the range and the guyontherange, bloke on the range seems to be a twat while guyontherange just seems to be gun autist dad.
He should pivot to doing cowboy guns
>>64720179I wouldn’t hold my breath for the 98k, especially since he mentioned doing the M1 Garand soon, I doubt he’d do two major rifles of ww2 in close succession.He has that contrarian vibe to him “the normies want WW2? Royal Irish constabulary’s single shot it is! Please join our patreon, I’m working 900 hours per week and can’t afford to hire help”
>>64720424I agree, but I wouldn't say I'm holding my breath. Nor am I the kind of person to hype myself up for stuff, I'm more of the "expect nothing and be pleasantly surprised when you get something neat" camp. "Some time soon" in the C&Rsenal timescale would be within the next 6-9 months, but they could by all means put it off for three years. Although considering the sheer amount of depth and frills to the story of the Garand, I wouldn't be surprised if the 98k, for which they probably already likely have a lot of references on hand owing to the 98b, would be used as almost filler on either side of the Garand and whatever other major projects they have in the works.
>>64719983It’s pathetic and gross. Whenever someone on here starts talking shit I just imagine their gut hanging over their belt.
>>64720249>The koba49 also comes accross as a cunt but he has massive autism to the point of being tarded with his entire brainkoba49 literally has lead poisoning thoughif you watch his videos he has this a severe hand tremor, which is telltale sign of lead poisoning
>>64719721Don't get me started on Ian McShillem not understanding how revolvers work
>>64721110That's literally how it works though.
>>64721681Protip: the cylinder stop is not a cam, otherwise you would see blueing wear on the cylinder stop notchesExtra pro tip: the cylinder will still move forward even if you remove the breechblock
>>64721750The hand is the cam. It's mounted to the trigger in the bottom of the frame.
>>64721750conveniently, Othias made a short showing this like a week ago https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8fpjFYsJduU
>>64721763The hand is the only part that pushes the cylinder forward on both the 1895 nagant and the Toz 36 anon...
>>64720330He did and the vids actually did alright, but he dropped the reprocussion series.
>>64721110Ian is a fucking retard and gets shit wrong constantly
>>64722252he follows quantity over quality, from what people said his first book was littered with spelling and information errors
>>64719675Oh so you're the retard who cannot comprehend design convergence
>>64719668
>>64722510>design convergenceyes, because suddenly pivoting in 1898 - and abandoning all the frames and tooling you have to set up for your old cylinder rotation direction and frame/sideplate milling - to copy a then-20 year old european design is "design convergence"hint: look up how long patents lasted in the 1870s>inb4 othais is pretending to be a retard to fish for research info again ITT
>>64722616Missing the extremely rare and expensive Swedish Gevär m/40 and m/40b.Purchased from Nazi-Germany in the middle of the war and instantly re-chambered for the hot-as-fuck 8x63mm heavy machine gun cartridge before being issued, so that machine gun crews didn't have to carry separate supplies of 6.5mm ammo for their rifles.Only used in limited numbers for a couple years before everyone realized that these things were borderline useless in the hands of regular conscripts because they recoiled too harshly.
>>64719292>You guys thought the hour long video on the Type 99 was exhausting?>Here is another hour long video about the EXACT same gun but a couple inches longer.
>>64719292The only reason to watch the show is Mae. I want to impregnate her
>>64722122Did they say legit there won't be any more reprocussion? That was my favorite series
>>64722669BASED average-girl enjoying connoisseur.
>>64719292I hate their rebrand into a schoolroom instead of their comfy original setup. The original setup was simple but straightforward, literally just a pair of gun autists in a room filled with guns autistically talking about guns. The last thing the channel needed was Othais in an ugly suit chiding the viewer about an upcoming quiz regarding 5.63mm Mexican Long Rifle or whatever the fuck.
>>64719292Oh, noes my favorite shitty flavor of the week AR-15 doesn't get covered. OP is faggot. Very zesty individual. One that dances at other end of ballroom, bats for the other team and all that other bullshit.One with misplaced ego and endless stupidity is (you).>>64719361Typo or not, OP is fruity as always.
>>64719292>extremely niche subject for obnoxious turboautists>not profitable or popularwow what a fucking surprise
>>64722122sure about that?
>>64725585The whiplash of reading the first anons post, thinking "aw man Ive waited years for the episode on the 1860" and then seeing this was a roller coaster
>>64719292he's a trust fund kiddie with autism, leave him be
Reminder that Othais hates all of you.I can't find it now but years ago he uploaded a video to his personal youtube where he talks about "the letter "k"" and how it's full of basement dwelling losers who jerk off to anime and he's better than that. Ultimately he's right but still.
>>64720249>bloke on the range and the guyontherangeAre they 2 different channels, or did you mean Bloke and Chap from Bloke On The Range? Because out of those two, the Bloke seems to be more outgoing and social, but still pretty gun-autistic, and Chap being the quiet kid that really likes to tinker with guns...
>>64726129hope you aren't waiting for more handtrap episodes, cause they're never coming out.Blame Kevinalso: YT 9aA0o5vBWDYif you want that ep now instead of next week
Cousin Harry ser you bes gun.
>>64726356I weirdly find that accent he does very calming, I could listen to it like ASMR
>>64726266Othais is for sure far less "nice" than his public persona implies. He knows it, he knows that a good chunk of his audience work on the parasocial connection (because that's how youtube works) and he has not hidden he's not exactly fond of it. I do not doubt he considers /k/ (and even more, the contemporary post-2022 sorry state of /k/) nothing but a bunch of degenerates. He also dislikes anime, as much as his parasocial Patrons tried to play the card with him.I do suspect his political views are probably not completely family-friendly, but it's just a suspicion because he's extremely good at avoiding drama. Smart move, than one.
>>64720239Don’t forget Paper Cartridges. He deserves way more attention.
>>64726454>I do suspect his political views are probably not completely family-friendlyWhat do you mean? That he’s not MAGA?
>>64719292I enjoy the slow pace of his videos and the pedantic approach. He strikes me as a gun nerd that just really wants to make gun nerd videos that you can learn a lot from, and I can respect that.
>>64719668>Kar98k>just another sub-variant of a widely used riflePick two.
>>64726266https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7UPz3_QOgAIt's literally a joke based on the "this ugly son of a bitch is fucking super hot girls and basically you're fucking stupid" ads you'd get on porn sites
>>64719292LOLMinute of Mae segments will be a thirst trap for the next 10 years if she doesn't get fat.
>>64719292He does what he wants, like all true men.
>>64727102> if she doesn't get fat.She's already like doubled in size, I mean I absolutely would but let's just be honest here.
