Bloke takes a friend's P14 out for a spin, and this is the result! Fast in the shooting, horrible on the reload.

Bloke brings you a no-expense-spared method to powder coat cast bullets.

In the interests of serious historical research, The Bloke takes a number of bolt-action rifles up-close and personal, at about 10m, to illustrate an often completely forgotten aspect of bolt-action rifle shooting: what do you do between normal ranges and use of the bayonet? Was the middle finge...

The Chap gets his teeth into a non-functioning Umarex Jericho 6mm airsoft BB pistol, showing you how it works, why this one doesn't, and a solution for fixing it.

Moving onwards with the Mad Minute series, here's another one that went faster than the Bloke thought realistic, even though compared to the No.4 and the K31 it was quite a bit slower. It was effing hard work though working the bolt on that Mauser 98k that quickly, since it's not really optimised...

Mike and Rob take a look at the British early WW2 close quarter battle (CQB) drills from Weapons Training Memorandum 1 of 1940, to see how they work. This memorandum can be found here: https://vickersmg.blog/manual/small-arms-training-manuals/

The Bloke takes his Hungarian Mosin-Nagant PU sniper out to 300m, and shares his experiences on working with the piece in question. This rifle is identical to the WW2 Russian / Soviet sniper rifles, and actually working with them in a vaguely "precision" environment shows up some of the drawbacks...

The Chap shoots some combustible paper cartridges he made to the original pattern in his French M1866 Chassepot Needle Rifle!

The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada Museum gave me the honour of unboxing their latest acquisition - but what could it be?

Continuing the Mad Minutes series, Bloke takes an 8x50R M95 Mannlicher Straight Pull rifle for a mad minute spin. How well will it do?

Apparently not as well in real life as in Battlefield 1 I

Rowan shot the InRange 2GAC two gun action challenge WW1 centennial match in Tucson, Arizona, USA in October 2019. He won the WW1 category by absolutely miles. Here's his appearance on InRange: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBt31q7diQ0

THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is how you run a Lee-Enfiel...

Bloke takes his Beretta M1 Garand in 7.62 NATO (.308 Win) for a good ragging on the Mad Minute range, in what has to be the fastest yet least eventful episode of this series so far.

In an earlier vid on the Früwirth carbine, many people remarked the offset firing pin. Here's the reason for it... Hint: it's in the original 11.5x36R ammo.

Alternative clickbait title - You'll Never Believe How Fast This .308 Win German Plastic Training Ammo Goes! :D :D :D

As a followup to an earlier video, Bloke wrestles his M1 to demonstrate how the primary extraction doesn't work. Cos that's not really what's going on with that little helical movement of the bolt as it opens - it's actually doing something else entirely :)

Also contains a small diversion into...

The Chap takes his camera around the rather well-appointed 300m rifle club in Reichenbach

Bloke takes a look at a Canadian C1A1 in 7.62x51 NATO made by Long Branch, including a cutaway model! Of course, this leads to a geeky primary extraction discussion...

Onwards and upwards with the seventh (!) episode in the Swiss Straight-Pulls series. This time, it's the Schmidt Rubin 1905 Cavalry Carbine's turn. Still with the old GP90 and GP90/03 7.5x53.5 ammunition (NOT 7.5x55 GP11), this was the replacement for the 1893 Mannlicher carbine. They seem to hav...

Bloke takes his .303" British Lee-Enfield SMLE and sees how many he can fire through it in a mad minute.

Bloke takes Frankenrifle, his customised Australian International Arms AIA M10A1 in 7.62x39 to the 300m range to zero it and see how it does with iron sights and Wolf steel-cased ammo.

No Lee Enfield SMLE or No.4 rifles were harmed in the making of this film.

Starting back in 2003, the Swiss shooting federation approved certain go-faster modifications for 7.5x55mm Stgw 57 rifles in 300m competition. Here's two particularly nice examples of rifles with various permitted ad-ons, including one with a freefloat tube!

The Bloke presents a K31/43 sniper rifle, the second of two designated marksman / sniper rifles the Swiss army adopted in WW2 in order to provide long-range capability to its infantry. Naturally, this rifle is in 7.5x55 GP11 calibre, is a straight pull, and has a funky periscope telescopic sight....

The Chap takes you through disassembling and reassembling his Finnish Lahti L35, which is mechanically NOT AT ALL A LUGER-DERIVATIVE! Also, he explains how it works.

loke takes his STEN Mk.II, which was blocked at semiauto with two blobs of weld on the selector (which means he can shoot it on any range rather than just at permitted events as would be the case if it were not permanently blocked), shooting it "precision" (lolz) offhand at 25m.
