Nah that didn’t sit well with me.

Charlie’s great and all, but when you’ve got to go you’ve got to go. A little pee isn’t going to hurt his driveway, and there didn’t seem to be any kiddos around that could have seen the one-eyed trouser snake spitting into the wind.

@@rondyreeves4772I mean he disrespected the man’s home I think scaring the guy was an appropriate response

Peeing outside keeps the coyotes away

@@dallasallad335 I don’t necessarily disagree with you, and I don’t suddenly dislike Charlie for his response; I just think that there’s some things worth fighting for and some things worth letting go. I wouldn’t curse at someone peeing on my property; heck, I’ve peed outside on my property before back when my dog was alive and I’ll take her out to potty when I got home for work in the morning. Some times I’d need to go and I’d pee while she was doing her business.

@@GarandThumbI loved the test and was laughing really hard when you were whining about the 5°F temperatures, while it’s -50 here…

I though the same things, good stuff.

I put my phone down but had the ear buds in and I was very confused why they were upset about the gun shooting.

My car got stuck in the street because I couldn't get it back up the hill I was sooo wishing I could have taken my AK out to the range

Yeah it was rough. I was one of the only ones that showed up to the office.

i dont know why but that was the funniest part of the whole video

He usually only does make good points.

Charlie for president! 💯🎉 To restore common sense, and unity in truth!

Last statement and scene needs memed. 💯

Had a supervisor in the Air Force that said you could do 9 things right, and people will only ever remember the 1 thing you did wrong

one barrel firing is only 50% reliable

You better make those 2 shots count

@@TheRoadhammer379 Think of it another way, you on all the other weapons, if the trigger froze the weapon was useless. On the coach gun, BOTH triggers have to freeze to make it completely useless.

Not a whole lot of pieces that can go wrong. Simplicity is often hard to break. With the coach, as long as the trigger pulls and the hammer drops, you get a bang. The rest of the guns had to contend with tube loading or magazines, actions that could jam, and shells that may not eject.

​@@TheRoadhammer379 And that barrel is 100% reliable.

Me in Washington State: 😭

Me in Arizona: I hope my shotgun does well.

You need a video like, "Which shotgun can best survive falling off and a boat and being eaten by a gator?"

Now that you have mentioned it I'm 100% certain it is going to snow in Louisiana in the near future

lmao

that is true for any gun any time you drop it.

You might want to specify to also at least empty the chamber first if you're going to do anything more involved than a quick flashlight inspection.

Yeah the barrel opens up like a banana.

You felt the need to warn subscribers of a Firearms channel that bore obstructions are bad?

@@johnqpublic2718 yes 👽

Lmao best part

I only saw two intervals of "unthaw"

Unthaw means to freeze.

@@Jeff.78 show me the definition

I was rolling on that one.

Except its pretty awful at everything else outside of this test. But you do you.@@roaringsteelmedia

I knew the Komrade would do well if it was a well running Komrade to begin with as I have seen some really unreliable Komrades. The surprise is the AR frozen. It would be like a AK doing well in a mud test which would also be a total surprise.

Until it didn't.

The heat makes you weak!!!

The heck is with our rain today? Shits weird :\

I mean as a Washington resident we take the cold way better up here than the heat lol.

I find weather funny, people claim Arizona is too hot and Idaho is too cold, where I live the winters are nearly as cold as Idaho and the summer are nearly as hot as Arizona. I remeber when we set a record low (-31 and a wind chill of -47) and a record string of days above 100 (101 days), i was living in a house without heat or A/C. Both records in the same year.

😂 its -20c here in Canada where I am

the neighbor slander cracked me tf up

I had to rewind, I was missing so much from laughing.

That was the dude that was pissing outside Charlie's place lol

The TriPerd

An easier solution: Just use a Saiga 12. :P

Based!

Spare gaitor with some handwarmers tossed in it wrapped around the action.

I ain't saying you ain't right. But I carried a flintlock in a snowstorm using all the tricks in the book and got a hella delay when I cleared it that night. The next day in the rain storm I clacked it twice trying to get it to go.... (then my ramrod swelled and got stuck in the thimbles requiring significant effort to remedy). I'm certainly a flintlock newbie. But I do have 80-90 miles in the mountains with one. 4 whitetails, 1 mulie, and popped 2 javelinas last weekend. I love it.

@@danielschmidt123 What are you using for prime? 4fg isn't he best choice for hunting. Prime with the same powder as you are shooting helps a lot. Don't be stingy, dump and put new priming powder morning and lunch. There's not much you can do if the flint and frizzen gets wet other than dry it off.

I would've figured something like the mossy 940 which is a direct competitor to the a300 or the 1100 or 11-87 due to greater availability than something like the spas 12 would've made sense to include

Agreed. Just for shits and grins, throw in the Meta Tactical Apex conversion. It's just a pistol on the inside, but with the protection around it, who knows. It might work.

@@edmorris4103 Yes.

I want to see for the CX4 does

I think that hipoint carbine in 45acp might crush the test. It's a bulldozer, and sounds like a canon

@@2centsbear638 Ruger just released a 45. Carbine. It's like the 5.7 LC but scaled up

Which is also the *perfect* way of getting ice absolutely everywhere into the action.

@@fooanonymous I pity tha foo!

@@henrikchristensen6314ehhh let’s calm down buddy.

I want a Charlie in my life! I could be laughing all the time

After listening to that story about how he catfished one of his friends... Ehhhh, maybe not everyone.

Heh… “crack” 😂

I loved how he said "Japanese" when a charging enemy was mentioned. Especially since it had a bayonet on the gun they shog.

probably quite well especially with a large safety lever, the push button ones maybe not without hammering and if the firing pin freezes, internal mags would probably work better than box magazines and then the only other issue is firing pins freezing

From what I've heard, any of them with a fluted bolt will cycle just fine. I'd be more worried about the triggers freezing up.

Pretty much the same way they work when they're welded closed. Perfectly.

So smacking it against things like Bam Bam would, in your experienced opinion, be unwise?

@@DerivativeWorker You only do that when you're trying to improve accuracy, goof.

It’s a royal pain cleaning up after a frozen hunt

Bro what

You forgot Charlie's classic SDI intro.

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar

Lol where I live this is normal weather for a couple months every year lol

If you can’t build a fire and stay awake to keep it fueled in the bare elements, then definitely seek shelter. You can make one, but realize knots are hard with gloves or numb fingers. Snow is more insulated than anything below 25 Fahrenheit, but it is still 32 or colder, which is lethal. Good equipment isn’t always cheap. Your home is better than trying to hoof it in a shtf scenario unless you are in direct threat.

😭

Comedy gold, right there

Almost as funny as the "It's like trying to make a baby work, Dude..." at 17:50

He was at top form for this video.🤣

I’ve run Benelli’s, Franchi’s or Remington shotguns most of my life, in the last 2 years I’ve swapped to a Retay Masai Mara and been very impressed

The dreaded benelli click can be fixed with a spring kit but it pisses me off that my $1400 m2 I had to add a $35 spring kit and I am just a turkey hunter I picked up a Retay couple years ago and they fixed that damn issue

You can induce this malfunction on just about any rotating bolt shotgun by bumping the charging handle, taking the bolt slightly out of battery. I’ve done it on my A400 Extreme a couple times hunting and have seen it with browning gas and inertia guns as well.

@@dbuckner902010 yup for the money it should run flawlessly

Didnt know that

Funny thing, though, is the “ping” sound that the OG Halo shotgun is famous for is due to the SPAS-12’s bolt cycling in semi-auto (all semi autos will have that sound effect to some degree, but the SPAS-12’s bolt being so chunky makes it very audible), which wouldn’t be there for the Halo shotgun since it’s pump. That being said, the sound is absolutely iconic.
