Q&A #37: FNs in Korea and Suomis in Denmark (and more)

Sounds like a job for Karl. Bonus points if he acts salty about having to do it.

Cheap Chinese shotgun challenge sounds like an InRange series, and it should happen

"Vodka is pointless" We are never getting to see the Korobov smorgasbord of weird rifles now.

The US was most outclassed during the Spanish-American War, as evidenced by our immediate adoption of the enemy's rifle.

Enjoyed the shout out to his wife for helping him make the transition to the full-time channel that we all love! (A good partner in life is a blessing!)

I’d love to see you run some el cheapo semi auto shotguns through the wringer

"The Japanese army and navy had more of a rivalry than in other nations." Well, that's an understatement if I've ever heard one. IJA even built their own aircraft carrier because they did't want to talk to the navy xD

"vodka is pointless" Hardbass in the distens intensefys

If you listen closely you can hear all Ians AK variants break in protest to his alcohol preference.

"Vodka is pointless. Use gin instead" The absolute madlad!

The Chinese Semi-Auto Shotguns? Do that on Inrange! YOu can probably get a lot of Videos out of it!

The shotgun idea sounds a little more InRangeTV than Forgotten Weapons. I'm more interested in seeing a comparison between the AWS Spets 12 and the K-USA Komrade-12.

Regarding "Are people biased in favor of their own nation's service rifle" : I'm Swiss and I HATE the SIG-550 (aka Stgw 90) - It's long and heavy (4.5 Kg with a 20round mag) - Get's issued with the small and flimsy 20round mag (they will fall appart when accidently dropped) - Does not like ingress of dirt or muck (very sensitive to these, jamms easely as the tolerances are perhaps too tight) - But most of all: Was designed for a shooting club instead for war. Way too overengineered, heavy and expensive, tiny mags because of the shooting community (true story!). I have fired AR-15s and AKs as well and I rather have those (especially AR-15)

Actually, the Luxembourg troops were the first platoon, co. A, Belgian bn. In Korea. They have the same equipments, uniforms, weapons and training. The only small detail is they have Granduchy badges and not the Royal Belgium ones on berets and the A "dress" uniform.

"Vodka is used to make things alcholic..." my thoughts were yeah, like the entirety of Eastern Europe.

2:53 Yay, my country gets mentioned^^ The contingent was 42 members big and a total of 85 were send. 2 died 17 were wounded Of the western nations, Luxembourg actually send the largest contingent in % (meaning they send like 10% of all their troops) and had also suffered the worst casualties overall, but also apparently fought like crazy having (among other things) withstood a wave attack that outnumber them like 30 to 1 (No, I did not mistype, it was 30 to 1) Fun Fact: Luxembourg (and a luxembourgish officer) featured in an episode of M*A*S*H in the episode "A Full Rich Day" (Season 3 episode 12)

As a Buckshee in one of the first units to get the SA80 in 1987 (pre mag release mod). Honestly, we where astounded at how it had a pretty much instant and huge improvement on marksmanship, loved the idea of full auto........................we also joked in that macabre Squaddie way that if you said so much as a rude word to it you would get a stoppage, it was fucking frightening how bad it really was.

i didn't expect the word luxembourg to be featured in this video ^^ yeah we sent like half of our army to korea! don't mess with us!

Big shout out to Ian's wife for making this channel possible with her commitment at the start. None of these videos would be here if not for her help.

"The Brits are the worst at this" Here comes the three Yorkshireman sketch of Monty Python 😂😂 But yeah. Having worked in engineering and manufacturing in a previous life alongside someone from ROF Enfield Lock and Nottingham, we both had extensive conversations about the god awful, design by committee, unfit for purpose L85 platform. If you want to know how good something is, look at how many people buy it... List of importers of the L85; Jamaica🇯🇲 End of list 😂 "If the SLR/FAL is the right arm of the free world, the L85 is the wrong'n" I agree on the Vodka sentiment as well, although my Polish friends might not be so happy with the assessment. #ILikeScotchScotchyScotchyScotch
