>>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.
>>64727144That is fine, it's the constant bitching about "too many hours" and "not enough money to hire help" that pisses me off.If he just started with all popular and mainstream guns of WW2, he would get a flock of normies views and patreon subscribers, which he could then leverage to hire the help needed to continue the show and focus his attention on the obscure shit.Then he can do * episodes to revisit them in more autistic depth when he frees up the time to get nitty gritty, and that would be bonus watch time which also means more Ballistol ads revenue.Plus he said he has other show ideas if only he had money to hire help. So any savvy business-minded dude would play the audience to get the bag.>instead he just bitches about it
>>64728408I mean, Ian started off the same, but he was smart enough to sprinkle in some more known and/or exotic gats that are at least somewhat present in the general collective consciousness of the firearm hobbyists or even that of the general public. Just look at the distribution of views in C&R vids, with the SKS, BAR or Lewis being disproportionatelly more popular. It's good to cover niches, but being overwhelmingly so, you'll never get going proper, comparatively speaking - like, look at Rob from Britishmuzzleloaders with his Elder-God-tier autism
>>64726266>>64727002I miss him posting hereWe only really got James left now
>Show is called This Week in Guns>Comes out once every other monthLe sigh
>>64726497Yes
>>64727102>>64727567I recall the original stated reason they opted to use Mae was her height is similar to that of a World War One soldier. My thoughts right from the beginning aligns to your thirst trap theory.
>>64728528This also reminds me of the bitching on the failure of "Project lightening".>They collab'd with Ian to get more viewers and it never delivered.Othais you nigger, your audience is the SAME as Ian's once you remove the normies and casual viewers.And since you refuse to pander to the normies and casuals, you are left with the segment that already watches both channel which means zero growth.Get your autistic head out of your southern ass and math the maths!
>>64728535*James is the only one that admits to it, many guntubers browse /k/
>>64719675>>64722653dear lord was othias the one autistically spamming about this months ago
8 whiskeys in, a Charleston 4 becomes a 6, Ian, Othias & Mae sit together on a couch,the air is thick with passion. An inebriated Mae’s chunky hand slips and falls into Ian’s lap, she starts to caress the throbbing cock meat in his Varusteleka trousers. Othias seeing this lets out a hearty chuckle, “I see she has taken a liking to you!” “I want your knowledge inside of me” Mae blurts to Ian. Ian not knowing what to think or do feels a spasm that makes his legs tremble. “I am going to have to say no” “no is not an option” shouts Othias as his demeanor changes pulling a C96 red 9 broom handle Mauser out & pointing it at Ian. “You will plap her flabby gash or I will fuck the hole in your skull that make with this Red 9!” During the encounter Ian thought about what Karl from inrange would do, for during his time at the Arizona Satanic temple he bedded many a landwhale. Ian thought of Karl as he planted his petrified phallus in Mae’s dumper, othias bellowed “yes yes” & and let out another hearty chuckle as Ian went to work on Mae like the bolt cycling on an old Hotchkiss.
>>64731509Othias then let his desire direct him, he spun Ian & Mae around so she was on top of him, her enormous girth and mass and pinning Ian onto the couch, then Othias dropped his drawers and slid his member into Mae’s sopping gash. “Looks like we’re going to have a double feed on our hands!” He chuckled as he pumped Mae vigorously. The whole scene looked like some Walruses splayed on top of a Mongoose. Ian then to his horror felt Othias’ thick butcher fingers pry into his rectum “I am going to see if we can load anything in your chamber.” Ian said “no” “no is not an option bitch, you will have my fecal fetus so Karl can abort it” Ian started crying and thought of his one true love, a French Berthier carbine.
>>64731538Ian felt Othias’s greasy ballistol coated chode stretch the walls of his recumbent, Mae suffocated Ian with her saggers, she directed her nipples into Ian’s Eyes, he felt his body go limp as he thought of the Berthier. Othias’ pumping grew in intensity as he let out a bellowing howl and yelled “War was declared!” As his chode spasmed a spoonful of spunk melded with the feces, blood and ballistol. Ian cried uncontrollably. Mae pivoted around and pushed her greasy minge into Ian’s face as she took his now flaccid cock into her mouth, she sucked it like the air cooling system on a Lewis gun passing air over the barrel. Othias leveling the Mauser at Ian’s head said “if you mention this to anyone, I will end your life.” Ian said he wouldNever mention it because truthfully all he wanted to do was forget.
>>64731509Was this assisted by artificial intelligence or the sole product of your particular mental illness?
>>64731849To quote Paul Harrell, you be the judge.
>>64731849Hi Othais
>>64731849it was a little disjointed and had spelling errors so i think we may have been graced by genuine artistry
>>64726336Thanks Othais
>>64731920Miss him like you wouldn't believe.Still kekking about his spergout vid on the CoD reload line.
>>64732542I'm not reading it to find out but that's so beautifulposting isn't dead
>>64730698And you can easily summon him here with amazing reliability and have some good shitpostan banter
