so, about the zip22.. It wasnt just that people didnt like it so they stopped making it, the gun was so poorly built that it nearly bankrupt the company trying to get it to work. Also, it was incredibly dangerous to handle and operate... Having to charge the gun by fiddling with the levers near the barrel of the loaded gun was just stupid and a lost finger waiting to happen.
Bows and crossbows at normal hunting distances (up to 100 yards) definitely require a LOT more work to get good with compared to rifles, even comparing optics (none, red dot, or magnified scope). In a lot of states, they allow single shot rifles to be used in "primitive" weapon seasons, which used to only be archery and blackpowder. If you're going to let a person use a centerfire rifle, you might as well allow a crossbow.
Regarding the Browning Buck, pistol carbines are super popular in the US for recreational shooting because it allows us to use really cheap ammo at better range and in rifle drills. Ammo price fluctuates a lot, but being able to use 9mm or .22 in a cheap gun or modified pistol is a huge selling point and great way to practice. The alternative would be to buy a high accuracy smg like the mp5, but they're way more expensive.
That first gun (the 22) broke the company developing it. They had a great line of single action pistols with hi energy cartridges, and put all their money into a 22 odball.
As someone with 5 target pistols, they most certainly can be super accurate. I almost never bring rifles to the range, the pistols are more than fun enough and the distances indoors are too short for the long barrel to matter.
"semi-auto submachine gun" I'll take two words that cannot go together for $1000, Alex. It can't really be a "submachine gun" if it isn't a machine gun...
The P320 can be switched between 9mm, .40S&W, and .357SIG. I know they'll do .45ACP, too, but I think that you have to have a different firearm body altogether. Sig's caliber xchange kits are quite expensive, though. Comes with barrel, mag, and slide. I feel like I'm leaving one caliber out... either way that's a nice selection of rounds. Love the new modular firearms.
The rocket pistol is wild! The weapon itself is useless, but after finishing the video, I i realized something.. the mini rockets could be used from drones.. and combine them with a sort of target lock ability..
The Gyro Jet pistol and rifles appeared in the James Bond film, You Only Live Twice. Bond carried a smaller launcher disguised as a cigarette. The second Swiss gun they showed was a Steyr TMP. It can be purchased as a stand alone pistol, or it can be kitted up with a fore grip and stock. They're nothing new or really that special. They've been around sine 1989.
Pistol/ carbine conversions are nothing new. Colt made the Cattleman Carbine in the 1850's. It was a revolver with a longer barrel and stock. The Beretta NEOS is similar in design to the Buck Mark, and can be had in either a pistol or carbine configuration
@@timmooney7528 cool thanks for that ill have to take a look at them. I've not really seen many of them around especially not here in uk anyway, the type ive seen are mainly the ones you can convert a standard glock with by clipping into an extended stock type conversion 👍🏼
@@WMW-82 The stock additions for the Glock are reminiscent of the Luger holsters which could act as stock. Another thing to look at is the Micro Roni. It's a chassis kit made for several brand pistols to convert them into carbines. Some countries do not allow their police to carry rifles or submachine guns, but allow the Micro Roni chassis (which pretty much has the same effect)
Most states in the US have minimum caliber restrictions for game hunting. A 9mm Parabellum would not meet the requirements. No elk hunter would even consider that. As for hunting with an English longbow, that would be rather impractical for most hunters. The heavy draw weights would take a great deal of training to become proficient. Bow hunters would find modern compound bows to be more practical for use in the field.
Correct! It was founded in wales and adopted by the English who dominated with it during the 100 year war. Although the longbow in general had been used for thousands of years. I actually don’t know much about the history of crossbows so I should look into it!
@@OriginalHuman With respect, the bow was an effective weapon that did allow the English and Welsh to dominate certain battles, but neither the English or the long bow dominated the war. Intensive logistics and the physical wear and tear on the bowman were major drawbacks to using the longbow in campaign according to period sources. Additionally early guns, pavise sheils, and barrier ranks of men with decent armor in the front of a formation could counter the advantage of even bringing bowen. Meaning all the resources spent on a large mass of bowmen reduced the number of Frontline infantrymen the Anglo-welsh forces could bring into battle. Ultimately, the English and Welsh lost the 100 years war to the French and Scotts. Sturring the English and Welsh to adapt their way of fighting wars.
The crossbow could currently be bought in the UK but you will have to hurry as the government is considering putting limits on crossbows. As to semi automatic rifles if you get a gunsafe and a firearms certificate you could have a semi automatic rifle but only in .22 rimfire caliber. So designed for rabbits/gray squirells ect yet you would likely have to be a member of a gun club with a range to be approved for a semi automatic rifle.
Sako is a fantastic weapon but over priced for what you get. I also am not a fan of bolt guns. My favorite rifle was one i tested before getting out of the military. The LWRC Reaper in 308, patrol with the 18 inch upper, got to do some long distance work trade out the upper for the 22 or 24 inch with big boy scope, seconds to swap. My next long gun is gonna be an Aero Precision 30/06 or 338 lapua. Love a semi auto long gun.
I play airsoft and had a licenced gas blow back fully licensed b&t MP-9 also Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis are amazing shows had to buy a Replica MP5 and a P90 because of those shows lol
Gimmick guns!😆 Buckmarks were extremely accurate, and made/used strictly for target shooting, competitions, and small game hunting, though owner's can naturally use them anytime they want. Why use a large, high caliber, rifle if you're going to hunt rabbits, squirrels or doves (squab)? You're not a hunter I gather.😄 I'd rather have my squab without having to remove 410 shot from what little meat is already on them.😆 I've actually eaten gray-squirrel and rabbit shot by my grandfather with his 22 rifle.😉 (How's the lamb? Not bah-ah-ah-ad.😆) 8:18 That particular model of the Russian AGS-30 must be the one they use in the May Day parades because it doesn't look anything like the models seen in use by the Russians in the Ukraine War videos I've been seeing. No doubt following their AGS-17 and copying from the US Mk-18 (hand-cranked) grenade launcher developed in 1962/63, showing how effective the Soviets found the American version to be. The US Mk-19 (automatic) is a much better, more effective version. All are devastating weapons though. The Ruger Mini-14 was a highly popular model with law enforcement and the public for a while back in the day, chambered either for .223 or 5.56x45 NATO. I don't recall if I ever fired one but I probably have. I've fired a Heckler & Koch MP5 and a Colt-M4 in both semi-automatic and automatic settings. I can't recall half of the firearms I have fired. I did fire a Mauser Kar98k, a Springfield M1903, an M1911 A1, a Browning High-power, a CZ-75 and quite a few other firearms, not to mention the ones I was authorized to carry. My brother-in-law is a gun collector. 13:50 That Swiss B&T TP9 reminds somewhat of the Mac-10, don't you think, I mean outwardly? Peace to you.🕊
I like technology because were human and humans love technology because we make stuff for reasoning sense are ancestors like the spear thrower or a rock blades like different ores like obsidian and other sharp natural materials to now to guns to nukes crazy
@OriginalHuman - There are plenty of videos showing what happens when you put a .50 BMG round in a 12 gauge shotgun. (TL;DR: lots of wasted energy because there's no barrel contact.)
so, about the zip22.. It wasnt just that people didnt like it so they stopped making it, the gun was so poorly built that it nearly bankrupt the company trying to get it to work. Also, it was incredibly dangerous to handle and operate... Having to charge the gun by fiddling with the levers near the barrel of the loaded gun was just stupid and a lost finger waiting to happen.
And personal defense with a 22 is probably not great too
It isn't the best option, but out of a
good semi-auto it's hardly the worst.
Brandon Herrera has a video about the gyro jet you should check it out the rocket pistol
It's an awesome video with fantastic slow motion.
Id like to see that
He also had a video where they loaded a .50 BMG into a shotgun.
It worked slightly better than that flare gun.
I had a team member in the usaf who bow hunted with an english recurve. Dude was ripped.
America used hand crank grenade launchers in Vietnam and later we came out with the MK19 automatic grenade launcher which the soviets then copied
And made it lighter and faster so arguably worse. More portable but way less effective.
Of course is there in the world something what not copied from Americans and is it there something what Americans copied?
That first pistol is fucking JUNK!!!!
This is perhaps the only time I'll be willing to watch a not so good content farm narration video like this
Well thank god we didn’t care enough to ask you 💀
Cross bows are used by disabled hunters during archery season.
In many states they can be used by any hunters now.
and Id imagine using a crossbow is harder than a gun so theres a measure of skill still needed

Would love to see you react to Garand Thumb's Halo BR55 functional rifle.

"Hey bro, you still got those two mags in your butt?"
"Yea bro just pull my finger"
As someone with 5 target pistols, they most certainly can be super accurate. I almost never bring rifles to the range, the pistols are more than fun enough and the distances indoors are too short for the long barrel to matter.
I was hoping the gyro jet made the list. Can confirm it’s awesome.
In the US crossbows are often used by hunters with medical issues who cannot draw a bow or sustain a drawn bow.
USA also made a nuclear bazooka called the Davy Crockett

Brandon Herrera did a slow motion video with that rocket pistol, Demolition Ranch did one also.
The Kriss Vector is one of the only guns to truely change the game when it comes to cocking and loading.
The rocket pistol is wild! The weapon itself is useless, but after finishing the video, I i realized something.. the mini rockets could be used from drones.. and combine them with a sort of target lock ability..
i hate when i forget my two mags in my butt

Dang, have to see if I can find one of those 22’s you like so well, for sale. That thing is cool!
Recurve deer hunting is quite common in the states. I hunt with one occasionally it is fun but takes a lot of practice
That auto grenade launcher is the russian's version of the MK 19 grenade launcher the US Marines are so fond of.
crossbow are usually only legal to hunt with during bow season if you're disabled.
The Browning buck looks like the Trench carbine off battlefield v, mini rocket bullets sounds the dogs dangley bits😮

The rocket bullet is essentially a bolter round from warhammer 40k
There's a good reason people dont know about the zip 22 -it's a piece of crap.
I have multiple shoulder injuries and surgeries, so I can't use regular bows anymore, so if I go hunting with a bow, I can use a crossbow.
Rocket launcher rifle. Fu#k me! That's like a Hand Cannon!.😮🤨🔥
the zip gun actually made that company go out of business. Before that dumb idea they actually made very nice replicas.
That first one looks like an office stapler
Don't know if anyone else mentioned this yet but Brandon Herrera TH-cam gun guy recently did a video on the rocket launch pistol it's quite revealing
300$ for being able to carry 2 xtra magazines in the butt 😂😂
The zip is the worst gun you could ever fire , be happy you never had to shoot one

Longbow is Welsh. And crossbows/shortbows have their own cultural relevance.
Correct! It was founded in wales and adopted by the English who dominated with it during the 100 year war. Although the longbow in general had been used for thousands of years. I actually don’t know much about the history of crossbows so I should look into it!

I think you answered your own question about when you get an actual rifle. Imagine having two 5.56 magazines in the butt.
Did you consider archery only areas and folks who are physically unable to shoot a standard bow.
Love Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis
for the rocket pistol you should react to Brandon Herrera, he made a video the other day using that pistol
2 stocks in the butt😂😂
I play airsoft and had a licenced gas blow back fully licensed b&t MP-9 also Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis are amazing shows had to buy a Replica MP5 and a P90 because of those shows lol
When SCP:CB part 3?
in the US you can really only use crossbows to hunt when your disabled in most states
Not anymore. In most states anyone can hunt with a crossbow now.
@@jonathanisgitt6893 no every state other than like Oregon have restrictions or limited uses for using crossbows for hunting
1st
Great video.
The crossbow is noice.
That first gun was utter shit. Idk how they ever let it go into production.

Love your videos sir. Good "conversation".
A lot of American guns can change calibers it is very common for us to have guns that can do at least 2 calibers. I have one that can do 5
WHO'S THE GUY IN THE CORNER?!
If you like the jet pistol Brandon Herrera as a good video on it that u could react to. Keep up the good work :D
Got the 2 magazines in my butt, can't confirm it made it any faster to reload though.
yall missing out on the Hotkiss universal SMG
Stargate SG-1 is a Legend
I want a p90, i love the rifle round. I love bullets for this gun.
We need a Swiss army combo. I need to contact them lol
Give a marine sniper a remington 700 and they will put in work and for less than a $1000
You should do video mrad Barrett
*Real men use the Scythian longbow on horseback*
the zip gun is the worst gun design ever
Well, shit that 50 BMG I trained with was $15000.
Brandon Herrera just did a whole video on the Gyrojet (The gun with the rocket bullet) they were garbage.
Welsh longbow
$11500 for the Sako, screw that. For $8k you can get the ultimate sniper rifle, thr Barrett 50 cal. Talk about fafo. The barrett is semi auto as well.
That smg is just a pistol. It's not automatic, it's semi, so it's a semi pistol, not an SMG.
the jet gun was meant to be used in space not on earth sadly nasa canceled the gun.
