  Oh, man, there's nothing more rewarding than coming home from work to sit on my PPSh-41 and have a freshly Sharps Carbine-ground coffee whilst listening to the radio on my Winchester M70

  Guns like swords do flex, it's the way of life and EVERYTHING either flexes or breaks

  50 years from now, "I am Ian with forgotten weapons and today we will be looking at this prototype energy rifle"

  Don&apos;t forget the most famous example of something built into the stock of a rifle:<br>the Official Red Ryder carbine-action two-hundred-shot range-model air-rifle with a compass in the stock and the thing that tells time. <br>(eye patch not included)

  I have no idea why i&apos;ve been subbed to this channel for years, and watch every video. Guns are illegal where im from, I dont really know anything about them outside games and movies, but I find it facinating listening to Ian talking about them with such passion.

  If you get a coffee grinder sharps you should make yourself a cup of coffee with it in the video.

  For the viewer that asked about fast powders, if you meant a faster burn rate, there is a counterintuitive thing that happens where the fastest projectile velocity is generally achieved by the slowest powder that can be used and still be mostly consumed by the time the bullet exits the barrel. &nbsp;This is because the limiting factor in a given gun is pressure. &nbsp;The faster powder will reach maximum pressure sooner, and then drop off. &nbsp;As such, the push will be of the same intensity, but lower duration, resulting in lower projectile velocity.

  Speaking of radios in rifles: there was the Ryan Model 529 rifle transceiver built for ARPA&apos;s Project Agile in the 1960s. It fit inside the M16 stock and was supposed to be used in counter-insurgency like Vietnam (although the radio pre-dates combat operations in Vietnam). It used the barrel as the antenna (and an aerial) and had push-to-talk function, and could talk to AN/PRC-25 as well as itself.
