2021-04-06 02:50:01 +0000 UTCGreat as always, Othais! I have a question about the WWI series. I realize you don't want to release the names of the guns you still want to cover, because basically people are dicks! I am wondering if you could tell us the approximate number of guns. Are we talking just like 20 or more than 50+? I realize there are guns you'd love to get, but will never happen because of their rarity. Just curious...

2021-03-31 18:00:32 +0000 UTCOh no! I actually started going back from episode one all over and I love those opening monologues too...but I get you need to do what you need to do. I'm willing to accept a lot if it keeps C&Rsenal afloat! Good luck guys!

2021-03-31 17:38:55 +0000 UTCThe old intros had that classy, well polished documentary feel. Missing that won't stop me from partaking in some of the best content on the interwebs. At least you're seeing a positive result.

2021-03-31 06:35:14 +0000 UTCWe were getting inundated with messages from new viewers saying "They didn't even shoot the gun." bc they just scrub through the episode. Since changing the intro we've had about 20% increase in traffic.

2021-03-31 05:46:03 +0000 UTCWe'll get it on the next pod.

2021-03-31 05:45:13 +0000 UTCSadly I'm just struggling to make it even happen.

2021-03-31 05:44:44 +0000 UTCOne thing Iβve been thinking of is the grips and difficulty with the hammer on some revolvers, and stiffness on other handguns and in this case with the slide. A point I heard on Military History Visualized* is that we need think about how βhardβ peopleβs hands used to be, and how strong they were, officers would also use gloves quite often which is a huge advantage. * The network of real history on YT is really impressive. Forgotten Weapons, The Chieftain, C&R etc. just stunning

2021-03-31 01:54:06 +0000 UTCI've noticed there haven't been Othias opening monologues recently. I love them. Any particular reason you haven't been doing them?
TankDestroyerSarge
2021-03-30 21:31:46 +0000 UTCis this the worst taskedown ever? that grip angle as far towards the back as it is... horrible handling by the looks of it. caliber seems fine though.

2021-03-30 10:57:12 +0000 UTClooking at that retaining block, if inserted backwards, would it hold the firing pin forwards, which would then detonate a cart upon chambering, cycling the slide, and repeating?

2021-03-30 10:54:45 +0000 UTCThis one , to me, scream 9 Glisenti or Corto, it will be soo much easy to shoot.

2021-03-30 04:17:10 +0000 UTCWhat I want to know, is how Mae can tell the gender of a firearm. all the handguns I have manipulated do not seem to have an obvious gender Identifier.

2021-03-30 03:21:25 +0000 UTCOkay, that was an ominous update at the end there. What's going on, Othias and Mae? π₯΄

2021-03-30 03:21:20 +0000 UTCOthais is so good at uncovering forgotten gems of history from the works of primary researches all over the world. That painstaking work is extremely appreciated here!

2021-03-30 03:02:57 +0000 UTCEpisode #138... in which long festering trauma of being denied food for pronouncing a foreign word correctly comes to light. I almost feel bad about commenting on russian patronymic pronunciation in Berdan II episode.... almost .

2021-03-30 02:51:16 +0000 UTCI'm pretty sure Othias is saving the 1911 for some sort of Grand Finale!
jeffere a fradsham
2021-03-30 02:47:18 +0000 UTCLove these C&Rsenal episodes. I always knew they were made with love, until I saw that C&Rsenal podcast where Othias admitted every episode is made of pain and agony. The C&Rsenal teams works damn hard and I appreciate it. Can't wait to watch this episode!

2021-03-30 02:42:29 +0000 UTCA 19-what? If it hasn't been on C&Rsenal, it didn't happen.

2021-03-30 02:26:10 +0000 UTCOne day we may learn about the 1911 or colt 1895...
