Apocrypha: Behind The Scenes March 5 - Midnight Brutality and my WWII American Book
Added 2023-03-05 23:35:26 +0000 UTCThere have been two major things for me this week: final preparations for Midnight Brutality, and working on my WWII American Small Arms book. We've got three great sponsors for the match: Tactical Night Vision Company, BE Meyers, and Q. Thanks to them we have an amazing prize table for our competitors - a bunch of people will be going home with a prize worth more than their entry fee, which was my goal.
As for the book, I have finished the handgun section, and am now working on the rifles. Once I get through the rest of this section, it will leave machine guns, SMGs, and miscellaneous other weapons (shotguns and bazookas). So far so good!
And, of course the periodic gun tinkering in preparation for filming. This week, the subject has been a Grendel P10 pistol, a gun truly designed to cause gunsmiths grief.

2023-03-06 16:55:17 +0000 UTCYep. Mine did not come with the loading tool; I'd like to find one to film with although they are not strictly necessary. The clips are actually just standard M16 clips, which fit the .380 ACP cartridge.

2023-03-05 23:48:17 +0000 UTCIn regard to the current book as well as Chasspot to Famas: would you open to doing a video describing how make your books? How do you find sources? How do you evaluate them to make sure it's a good and accurate source? How do you decide what material goes in? etc.
