If someone were to make a super-cut of all the grunts and onomatopoeia exclaimed by Othias, I'd watch/listen to the entire thing.
Treblaine "Othias Grunts to 76 WW1 firearms"
It would be like the James Hetfield "YEA!" compilation LOL
I'd watch it.
yup. definitely would be appreciated.
Corey Stockdale what video is that?!
Between you, Mae and Ian from Forgotten Weapons you do a lot to satisfy this history nuts passion for understanding where we came from, and how we got here. Some people might not appreciate these longer videos, but sometimes that's necessary to fully explore a topic. Keep 'em coming.
Jim Vandemoter indeed
Agreed
It's our special Holy trinity.
Vojtěch Ptáček absolutely
Bloke on the Range is worth a watch too.
I've always interpreted the grunts as comical reference to the weapons' weights. 🤷♂️
I have begun to notice how frequently he grunts when moving the guns around but never posted a comment about it.
I was also thinking that he may need to buy a set of dumb bells because good lord are they over-much sometimes. XD
SonOfTheDawn515 I did to
To get across the actual weight of a gun, could you indicate this by wearing different sized hats? You can tell a lot about a man by his hat. Especially if you instigate some sort of hat size vs gun weight standardised measure.
the51project very 19th century, I like it
So if you have a backup weapon of a smaller size. Does that mean that one should wear a smaller hat under one's main hat?
Of course, the risk of having a failure with your main hat is to high to risk being hatless
Do pistols mean wearing a jamaka?
He'd need a ten-gallon hat for the Mauser Tankgewehr, and some of the heavier machine guns.
C&Rsenal... Civil War. Yes please!!
Nope
WWII is of more importance. But he'll most likely do weapons from countries that were neutral during the Great War next.
Jordan Wurz he said that doing WW2 would be difficult due to copyright and other issues. The plan (as said by Mae [if I am remembering correctly] by a reply to some comment on one video) was that once WW1 was cleared, guns would be covered with no particular period constraint.
Yes! That would be very fascinating.
A wonderful rifle. I just bought a Mauser Gewehr 71, got it 2 days ago in the mail. It's made in 1879 in Amberg, all matching numbers. Even the screws match. Everything is numbered. The rifle is in good condition with a good barrel. I have been looking for a Gewehr 71 for many years, finally found one. A great addition to my collection of Mauser's and other guns from pre-WW1 to WW2.
There needs to be a "War were declared" compilation video. A series of them.
I absolutely love your coverage of the lesser known pieces of the war, such as this 70s classic. Guns like the '98 Mauser and the SMLE might have been very common at the front, these older designs show not only the real development of firearms technology in the last decades of the 19th century, but also the sheer desperation of a war on the scale of WWI. While all of your deep dives are interesting, letting even experienced gun enthusiasts learn more about the history, these videos are perhaps my favorites, and really highlight just how great C&Rsenal is.
absolutely 110% agree with you i couldnt say so myself very well put! Shakes hands with you
Whoever does your CG animated gun models, does an amazing job. I'm amazed at the detail and all. Wow! Absolutely beautiful rifle too! I was blessed enough to disassemble, clean and fire my friend's 1871 Mauser.
I demand that you describe the scent of all of the guns from here on out.
I'd wear it as a perfume.
THIS IS FILTH!
@Mae
I can visualize the commercials for that style of perfume and cologne line!
"Eau d'Cosmoline by Estée Lauder. Now available at Macy's."
"Black Powder for Men by Ralph Lauren." (**cue artsy commercial-like video clip of Othias wearing Oakley sunglasses, and a uniform from The War of Southern Succession/War of Northern Agression with a Pattern 1853 Enfield in his hand**)
"Midnight Oil by Hoppe's №9 - A scent for men and women. Available exclusively at Dillard's."
I would think they'd all smell the same...
The polis has spoken!
Great episode as always. If any of you guys want to learn o bit more about the bayonet for the Mauser M/71 you can find a video on my small Channel. Thank you all
What an oddly specific channel, i'll check it out
Thanks my guy
Wahhh???? A channel dedicated to nothing but pokey things you attach to the business end of rifles??? I gotta check this out!
You have earned a sub
Thank you, Sir.
Panning down rifle: The scene from Spaceballs where Spaceball 1 is going past the camera. End of the stock says (in German) "We brake for no-one."
"Other than the Swiss. The Swiss are weird."
I think they already had semi-auto designs by that point.
but in a good way.
The Swiss make good chocolate, guns, and pokey things... I'm willing to overlook their weirdness...
Well, wait for their Schmidt-Rubin!
festerallday a Swede did, but not the Swiss.
Mae's smiles with these old guns makes it tempting to buy and reload for them.
Don't feel guilty about not introducing them chronologically! I've watched every single primer episode y'all have and this is the most thorough summation of historical firearms I've seen on TH-cam. Keep it up!
Oh hell yes! Monday night and I get a notification this just dropped! Your Primer series on the SMLE and 98 made me grab a No4 MK1, No1 Mk3, and a 1944 Yugo captured K98. Y’all and “The Great War” have filled my House for weeks as I await my rifles to come in tomorrow!
Thanks to you and Mae for such incredible dedication and attention to detail giving us such long episodes of information! Don’t ever let critics tell you long episodes are boring. They’re absolutely, dead nuts wrong! You guys freaking rock!
Paper clips in the summer was friggin poetic.
Teeshirt idea on the front it says "Othais, Trench Ninja." "I've disappeared in a cloud of smoke!" on the back.
He's bigger than the cloud of smoke...
Brent Keller Don’t forget “The Last Samurai” with the Imperial soldiers!
I thought of the scene in "Last of the Mohicans" where Magwa fires, Hawkeye has to wait until the smoke clears for his shot.
And thus the seeds of a legend were planted.
Also, I would pay money for a TV show staring Othias the Mauser Ninja and Mae the Sea Cowboy. Maybe they could be hunting dinosaurs...
C&Rfly? :-D
dark heresy?
I have always had a fascination with the Mauser 1871, I found one recently, an Amberg gun, it's on order and I can't wait to shoot it. It's old, long and heavy, but there's just something about them, they have such a long history behind them.
I appreciate the 100% dedication on the smells. The nose on the rifle had me rolling.
It is interesting to see the beginning of such a long series in this episode. What was also awesome is to watch is Mae trying to picture Othias as a ninja.
He's surprisingly good at hide and seek, you think no, there's no way he can hide with his 6'2" build. But yes, yes he can. Asshole practices his ninja skills on me sometimes.
Mae Winchester I believe it. In the Army at one point I shared a room with a sniper that was 6'3.
I love how sarcastic you are Othais.
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the sound this beast makes when it fires.
Sweet Lord in Heaven, C&Rsenal have returned. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Poland.
Damn it Othais, you didn't say if it would go with white or red wine..or maybe just a good German beer...lol
BIER!!!!!
Deutsch Infantriegewehr und Deutsch bier!
You taking the piss there at the beginning had me rolling. Great show, as always
Pro tip: put the gun to the side as your pulling the bolt back to eject the spent case if needed. rather than waiting until after pulling the bolt to the rear as i see a lot of ppl do. Do it in 1 quick motion.
I just LOLed at the rifle smelling, just getting High on Ballistol.
I would like to cordially thank Othais and Mae for another outstanding show i use your shows in my profession as a professional Gunsmith i am NOT as smart as i thought I was . I enjoyed your series very much and I am a disabled veteran of the Navy with 21 yrs of service and recovering from a massive heart attack I wish i could donate to Patreon to help sorry guys but thanks for a job well done Mae reminds me of my deceased daughter she would have been 14 today if she would have lived Thanks for listening!
Well this explains why I don't feel tired, new primer episode
You're one of the only english-speaker who says "Liège" correctly. I'm impressed ^^
D.J. Netris Yup. As "Francs", perfect pronounciation.
Yes. It's only confirming what I already knew. Othais does a hell of a job for this show ^^
One of my favorite Mauser rifle and classic single shot rifle!
"I love the smell of Mauser gewehr 71 in the morning. It smells like . . . impending defeat."
In relation to 1916 Irish uprising the Mauser gets mentioned in songs about the incident. To quote "A Row in Twon -Erin Go Bragh"
"Now some of our leaders were down at Ringsend,
The honour of Ireland to hold and defend,
They had no veteran soldiers but volunteers raw,
Making sweet Mauser music for Erin go Bragh."
The Mauser 1871 was used by Korean Empire armed forces during 1897 until 1907.
I am loving the extra grunts Oats is giving us
Now I'm imagining a '71 Obrez with one of the experimental wraparound magazines from the episode Ian did a while back
I'm waiting for you guys to implement smell-o-vision.
SMELL, YES!
The great smell of old gun.
Although modern firearms are often tactically cool looking, there's something beautiful about the older rifles I have seen.
Othais' ironic gun-hefting grunts are what get me out of bed in the morning. I'm halfway through this series at the moment. If he stops at some point, I'm going to waste awayyy.
Awesome, Thank you for bringing mausers back
Meanwhile, he's smelling rare gats while I sit here and just go "wait whut" and wonders why some of these comments are so anal about the little things.
"This bearded son of a bitch is smelling rare antique gats and frankly, you are fucking stupid. How? Just watch the free video >"
Othias's little jokes like that just make my day
People will complain about receiving oral sex. So complaining about a free video with absolutely amazing content is nothing using that comparison.
A Civil War or WWII themed series on this would be amazing. Anywhere between 1500 to 1950 and you've got my attention.
Othias hasn’t really changed his style through out this series but Mae has really updated and upgraded hers.
that thing sounds, AWESOME!
It's very satisfying to smell old rifles.
A legend is born.
I appreciate the grunts, especially on the machine gun special on the Great War video. It gave me some small sense of its weight.
I had a Mauser 1871/84; the second version featuring the under barrel tube magazine (Alfred Von Kropatschek, designer) I believe.
As it happens, the store at which I found it also sold me what I suspect were the last two boxes (20 count) of ammunition (made by a Canadian company) loose in Christendom. Fired a few, it worked and shot well. Sold it off later in what I now recognize as a fit of stupid.
I started with an episode about the SMLE because I just purchased one, and I was hooked. I have watched each rifle show up to this one (so far) and a few out of order before going back to the beginning. My wife thinks I am a little nutty - but she gets it. I love that it is so accessible. I love that there is no politics. I especially love that Mae is such a good sport as well as a competent marks(wo)man. The technology description is awesome - I understand riles so much better now.
I thought I was done once I got my SMLE - but now thanks to you I want pretty much every amazing piece of history you have showcased.
You guys get my attention, and I will drop something on Patreon on payday.
We apologize to your wife for enabling

Damn... othias gave ya the hard truth lol.
Seriously guys, these guys are doing what we wish we could do... or atleast that's the truth for myself, these rifles and all rifles give you a feel, and as a collector that likes too use his collection, I understand what he means. I like handling older rifles, the new budget rifles of today are more accurate, lighter, and alot cheaper, but todays rifles dont give you the impression these do, and older rifles do, and that impression can be powerful. I'd much rather handle, shoot and talk about the older stuff than todays stuff.. well... for the most part. I would rather have 1of these rifles than 10 of todays sub $500 rifles... todays Winchester model 70, Sako 85 and rifles alike.. well thats a different thing. Truth be had I love all rifles, but I feel that rifles like the Savage Axis, Ruger American, Remington 783 or the 700ADL sold at Walmart and alike guns are great, but rifles like the ones mentioned above (win 70, sako 85 ) are just doing a better job at funtioning at what my idea is of what my perfect rifle shoud be.. but they have their place. I however own both, but i find myself shooting my sako, than i do my Ruger American, but i do like too use my Ruger for load development and then fine tune it too any of firearms of same caliber/cartridge. If im going hunting i find myself grabbing my model 70 or my sako, then my ruger or Remington 783. Not because they dont serve the purpose but because the 70 and 85 have a nicer feel. Every gun has a "feel" of it and some "feel" superior too others, but im a sucker for wood and blued steel
Mid night for me when this was posted, Sadly have to wait until tomorrow to watch it.
Keep at it Mr. M.
You and Ian need to have a screaming contest about a gun. It will be a blast to watch.
George: “Say good night, Gracie”.
Gracie: “Goodnight, Gracie”.
George:

I wish they did a little video about how the different rifle uses of different mechanisms to take advantage of primary extraction
Never noticed you can see the front of the table/desk in the close ups in this one. Kinda cool.
When I was making the CAD model, I noted a few additional alterations to the gun in the blueprints that you didn't mention; figured I'd put them here for completeness' sake:
1. Coil springs were added to the rear (flip-up) battle sight, straddling its screw, to apply a bit more friction and keep it from moving as much under recoil. This can be seen at 37:53 in the video.
2. There's a left-side lug on the striker which partially works to keep that piece aligned, and also keeps the firing pin from rotating. In the later models, this is a threaded piece with a hole that lines up with another hole on the striker; I'm unclear on what it was changed *from* but it seems to have been an integral part in the earlier version.
3. Some of the thicknesses seem to have been changed on the trigger/sear spring, not sure if it was made thicker or thinner.
While the gas-deflection flange on the rear of the firing-pin nut *looks* like an add-on, and it definitely was on the Gewehr 88, it actually is original to the system on the 71, as far as I can tell.
Wow you're thinking of doing the civil war, that should be interesting. Can't wait to see you reviewing a matchlock. Was there much difference between the Roundhead and Cavalier weapons?
Cant keep everyone happy. I think he does a great job explaining ild school weapons ive never heard of.
Gunpowder on your cereal is more of a southern thing, really. In the north we put it in our Dunkins coffee
I mean, it's the only way to get that burnt swill to even be palatable
Fascinating episode. Love how you handled the history.
Othais Idea of using the M1871 in WW1 is very nice :D It could actually have worked, beside the Problem of the massive Recoil because dramatic shortened Barrel ^.^
I really like this show and appreciate the effort and information accuracy given. I've never actually held a gun. So i actually appreciate the smell information. I also like the trolling of the jerks. Keep up the great work.
Thanks another great episode
If y’all do the Civil War, you need to do the M1854 Lorenz Rifled Musket
New series idea, "Othais gets high huffing chemicals"
That made me laugh but realistically that series wouldn't last long before poor othais kicked the bucket.
in awe at the size of this lad, absolute unit.
I love shooting my 71/84. Its an amberg matching sporter version but very nice still. Reloaded with a special smokeless load and my own cast bullets. I can nail a plate at 600 yards pretty easily.
Well, a BIG improvement in rate of fire over muskets!!
"I love the smoke, I'm all about the smoke."
Never figured Mae for a toker.
This is just how it appears in “The Last Samurai” with the Imperial soldiers!
間違いない！
The 1871 mauser appears in non-shooting scenes, in scenes where the guns are fired the imperial soldiers use Mauser M1871/84 rifles modified to look like the Mauser 1871.
Great “ War were declared “...... masterful timing .
My new breakfast cereal, black powder O's! For that burst of energy to start the day!
Het again a really nice and informative vid. Thanks!
Really nice lookin mauser, love em all
GREAT !!!
Back in the late 60's early 70's the 71 was a $10.00 gun...and in much nicer cindition than the one in this episode. There was a Canadian company that sold the 11mm cartridge in smokless. Also reloading dies were available. I had the 71, 71/84 and a 71 Carbine at that time NONE cost more that $20.00@!
Outstanding!!
Again, Ms.Mae, Bless your heart, the recoil disease progresses. I note you have found a more than adequate enabler, whom you can.... NMB. Thank you , both.
also diggin the ambient music
These dudes honestly seem like really good guys.
I've been patiently waiting the past 2 hours lol
😀 this is the most fun episode I've seen so far on this channel! Ninja smoke away, guys! 😂
Wow my favorite rifle!
Only 12 dislikes, that HAS to be some kind of record for a firearms/constitutional liberty topic based video, congrats!
Dang that's a big boom when Mae is shooting it! awkward to load and eject, but pretty good power.
I love this show.
As usual, a wonderfully researched and fascinating episode. Thank you, Othias and Mae!
Can I take it from this episode that we can eventually look forward to a couple of episodes on the Martini-Henry and Martini-Enfield rifles, and their use in British and Colonial service during The Great War?
photos exist of these used by German police in some of the ghettos in Poland in 1939-40,pre war by some auxilliary services,and ,also by Volksturm at the end of the war
How much of a problem was ruptured cases? on a lot of this older guns it is a big sticking point in development. When today we really don't see it that often. Thanks, been watching since episode 6!
IIRC that was a problem with early smokeless rifles, not BP like this gun. Not saying it didn't happen, as a matter of fact it's mentioned in this video that the Mauser 1871 did have a few features to protect the user in the event of a ruptured case.
I do love it when the parents argue over historic firearms :P
Ehhh just before school I see this dang it have to watch later ohh well keep up the good work
Your man beard overwrites weak grunts. Keep up the great work!
General von Lettow-Vorbeck mentions these fairly often in his memoir about the East Africa campaign.
People: *complain about Othias groaning*
Othias: *turns groaning up to 11*
Yes. I love your videos.
I would love to see a little more humor at the end of your shows. Sometimes, when signing off, Othias, can say, "say goodbye to the folks, Mae." Mae would respond, "goodbye to the folks Mae." A bit of old Burns and Allen. Classic stuff. Of course Mae could turn it around.
