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

2021-11-10 16:23:26 +0000 UTCI blame COVID. The poor guy is still in recovery, after all...

2021-11-10 06:34:15 +0000 UTCThe rounds are 9mm Parabellum or 7.62 [7.65?] Parabellum, so it's not awkward at all...

2021-11-10 06:31:58 +0000 UTCAll handguns are pistols [because "Pistoia"] but not all pistols are revolvers [because Colt couldn't spell for sh!t?]

2021-11-10 06:30:51 +0000 UTCI 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.

2021-11-10 02:28:39 +0000 UTC30:18 you call it a revolver. For shame, Othais. For shame.

2021-11-10 01:48:41 +0000 UTCwell 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.

2021-11-09 19:22:34 +0000 UTCI noticed the same thing. Like it should be “even without smokeless powder” or “even with black powder”

2021-11-09 19:16:58 +0000 UTCShip 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.

2021-11-09 18:45:07 +0000 UTCToday 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

2021-11-09 17:56:46 +0000 UTCI noticed that the soldier with the C96 stock attached and slung around his neck has the pistol cocked as well. 1:00:08

2021-11-09 17:10:18 +0000 UTCNice 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!

2021-11-09 16:54:19 +0000 UTCAt 36:18 you describe the 1904 Luger as a revolver when mentioning the back strap markings.

2021-11-09 16:31:03 +0000 UTCAt 24:41 you say "9mm or 7.65 parabellum," which sounds awkward.

2021-11-09 12:24:58 +0000 UTC2:53 It looks like a revolver, but it's a pistol?

2021-11-09 11:47:14 +0000 UTCI think at 5:04 you say "smokeless powder" instead of "black powder" when referencing the swiss compressed black powdered cartridge.
