Yeah, loud audio hiss around 19:14 as he says

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

Matt Haught

Yep, brain fog from a bad case does last a while. Ask me how I know.

Probably Satan

I blame COVID. The poor guy is still in recovery, after all...

Bruce Brodnax

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

Bruce Brodnax

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

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.

Quinn Monnin

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

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.

Guido Schriewer

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

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.

Joel Mullan

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

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

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!

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

Hunter Compton

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

Ronald Carrier

Still out of my price range. Dammit!

Wayne Dygert

19:14ish Clapboard bleed into audio

Minion

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

Minion

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

Martin Koski

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