I'm laughing because as amazingly educational of a history channel as this is, it's the gunniest.

2019-08-28 09:02:28 +0000 UTCWell done as always. Thanks for going back and fleshing this one out.

2019-08-28 02:14:13 +0000 UTCI swear my annotations are off for the episode, but I keep seeing a floating head of Gun Jesus in the back smiling and nodding.

2019-08-27 23:42:06 +0000 UTCReally love the remake. Just try to avoid doing a whole run of just remakes.

2019-08-27 22:46:05 +0000 UTCNo rush to watch this since it's a redo. Looking forward to the added content, but can pace myself since it's not totally *NEW* new, just partly new... ;-)

2019-08-27 19:20:02 +0000 UTCYea! Good to see a redo to your current standards for such an important rifle.

2019-08-27 16:03:12 +0000 UTCImagine how the Germans felt - between the M.71 and the M.71/84 that's over 2 million rifles rendered kinda obsolete over a period of about 10 years. The appox 1.1 Million M.71/84 had a service life of, IIRC, about two years! There was a real risk in jumping first.

2019-08-27 14:34:47 +0000 UTC"Danger beans" - shamelessly stolen & added to my instructing lexicon. We'll have to see about "lifty-doodle" XD That's another gun that it's really interesting to ponder the economy and politics of. That whole period was defined by sinking MASSIVE amounts of money into the latest battle rifle and maybe finding it outdated next week. The Lebel may very well be the poster child for that - after hastily cranking out 3 million, it seems that they couldn't get rid of it or its goofy cartridge.

2019-08-27 11:54:06 +0000 UTCNow when Othais says "War were declared" I can say "Got the tee shirt" ;) and soon I'll add "And the book" Warm fuzzy feel kinda like a Guinea pig with a raspberry...

2019-08-27 07:22:11 +0000 UTCYeah they said awhile back they are redoing some of the first Primer videos..I believe one other will be on the Gewehr 98.

2019-08-27 04:52:58 +0000 UTCNo this one goes for 1:04 hours, I'd say we might be rediing some of the earlier episodes.
Peter Diven
2019-08-27 04:14:22 +0000 UTCIsnt this the same primer episode from June 6 2015?
2019-08-27 04:13:12 +0000 UTCOh man this is going to be good
