that quote went on with "Or very incompetent ones that favour complexities over simplicity" and he's right the AK and it's family Mikhail created were simple in design and ergonomics. the AR family are complex and was built to tight tolerances. stress testing between the two systems have confirmed this. and price points match the Simplicity vs. complexity between them. with the former being very much a cheap gun but reliable.

@@112-DavidLI’m not sure the AR family of guns are really “complex” - innovative and a departure from prior norms, certainly, but mechanically the AR isn’t THAT complex. An AK has about 70 parts, an AR about 120. Sure it has more bits and pieces, but the operation of the device is not by any means convoluted - gas pressure moves the bolt back into a tube with a spring in it. That’s not all that complicated, surely!

think about though, they didn't need to change piston length for instance, the bolt didn't suddenly has 5 lugs, and they didn't need to add more springs. Changing the material, surface treatment, and tolerance support Johnatan's view that the changes was minor albeit they were done to most components.

I simply LOVE the fact that even though they're both nerding out to an epic degree, neither of them has a gap in muzzle or trigger discipline. Even though they're pulling guns that are clearly unloaded (hell, some of them don't even have available ammunition anymore), they are both such consummate professionals that there's never any lapse of safety. Gotta say, I'm enamored.

Back in the early 1990's as part of my job in a theatre as an armourer, I used to hire from BAPTY &Co. One day, wandering the warehouse, I came across crate loads of cool Star Wars guns!! Many were rubber moulded copies but there were several full metal versions converted from the original weapons. When I got to the office, to fill in the paperwork for a truck load of Martini Henri rifles I was hiring, they took out a 'blaster' and handed it to me, telling me it was the actual one used by Harrison Ford! I have no idea if there were several of these, or it was indeed the only one, but it was seriously cool to hold it!! They had a couple of those BSA type converted blasters too, which I also saw, but didn't get to play with. What an amazing place it was to visit back then. Times have very much changed now and I'm not sure you can just phone up with an order and rock up with a van anymore!! 😉

I can't imagine it's easy to get the two of you gentlemen together due to location and scheduling, but...I mean this is the discerning youtuber firearms enthusiast wet dream and all I want is more. You two have an easy and fun social chemistry, mixed with both a shared respect for both each others historical knowledge and familiarity with the saner aspects of modern gun culture. The genius here is making a competition! While you two would be incredible podcast hosts, having a lightly adversarial dynamic at play feeds my deeply culturally ingrained Yank mind in cheering for a hometown boy to stick one to the Brits (a feeling that has pervaded British/American military sensibilities for neigh on centuries now). I'm sure the Brits watching this are rooting for the ineffable Ferguson to take our brash American to task. I've committed the venial sin of UKposts comments by leaving this having only watched about 6 minutes in, but this is great content already and I'll be sharing this with all my buddies.

The quality of editing, sound, filming etc has been just constantly increasing here thanks to ol Fergy and his series (and of course the amazing team behind the camera). Id love to see you try and find ways to shoot these old wierd weapons. Especially if you're able to re-make one-off shooting models for weapons you dare not even consider dry firing.

The Schwarzlose 1898 is great. Had the honor to shoot one once & it was quite ergonomic (for my hands) and dead on accurate after 120 years. That for itself is awesome. PLus: We hadn't had a misfire the whole afternoon with it. NOt one.

Andreas Schwarzlose seems to have invented a few quite remarkable guns. (The main MG Austria-Hungary used in WW1 was a Schwarzlose gun. And the blow forward pistols he invented also are strange and would have fit their criteria apart from adoption)

Presumably this means there was no H&K G11 avaliable. It looks like a camera bolted to a particle beam accelerator, functions like a pocketwatch, entirely deadended two entire concepts of military development, and got accepted by the Bundeswehr before the initial order was canned. It's like the rules of the game were built for it.
