I met Paul at a pizzeria back a couple of years ago during one of his early meet and greets. Like people have said, he's essentially the same as who you see in the videos: humble, plainspoken, and respectful. You can quickly tell he's just genuinely who he portrays himself to be at face value.

Army training stander operating procedure is to continually retrain & retest the ignorant & or unskilled until they get it or until the get out of the Army.
During the developmental stage in the womb when we're all just a small blob of cells, the first hole that develops is what eventually becomes an anus. At this stage, we're all just assholes. Some never grow up from that.
The nature of what you share in your videos involves lethal force and deserves ALL of the explanations that you feel are appropriate for safety. Since you do not know if a viewer is watching you for the first time, repetition is essential for clarity. People can always fast forward a "long winded" explanation if they wish and get to the main point of your topic. Too bad hateful and judgmental people feel justified in making inane comments on a superb channel.
Summary: Paul speaks a bit about topics that internet people have 'corrected him on'. Meanwhile, the rest of us Zen out and learn a few things we didn't know that we didn't know.
You are precisely right! Most of us would do well to just learn what he has forgotten about firearms. And…it doesn’t appear he has forgotten too much lol
Me: "Paul, what time is it?" Paul: "Well, to answer this question, we have to first understand the different methods by which time is kept. Some timepieces keep a steady pace through a combination of spring tension and carefully calibrated gear assemblies, while atomic clocks keep time according to the known rate of decay of a radioactive isotope. I have with me my chronometer which is calibrated to match the current international atomic time. Let's measure these two clocks and see which one is more accurate..."
The lesson for today is 'don't make the nice man angry'. People who have seen shit and done shit tend to be humble guys. They know what they can do. They don't need to walk through life proving it to everyone. Quiet competence is the mark of a professional.

Sometimes when I feel I've done something wrong and miss my deceased dad, I come to watch one of Paul's videos just to get yelled at. Thank you for the wonderful content, Sir, as always.
Wanderlust... I totally agree. I wanted some background noise so I'm playing video games on my phone I made the mistake of going to his TH-cam channel I stopped playing the game on my phone which was my main objective for the day. But I stopped playing the game to watch my background noise. Love his videos and simplified long winded explanations that a nuclear physicist could understand or a kid who just learned how to read.
I never thought that I’d hear Paul Harrell ranting about Modern Warfare trolls, this is so weird, it’s like a hallucination. I actually starting laughing really loud when he said the quote and said something about a watermelon.
I saw that same thing on a CheyTac Intervention vid by Forgotten Weapons. Comments was filled with a bunch of people ignoring the interesting stuff about the rifle and making stupid comments.
I remember as a teacher getting taught that if enough people give you the wrong feedback/error on a test etc than something was wrong with the instructor or the test etc. So if enough of these morons are saying the same wrong thing he definitely needs to "clarify" for them their errors, its his duty!
1: Paul reads the comments 2: He’s what you call a professional 3: if you think you know more than he does about HIS guns & gear, you’re probably wrong
@@stevenlabrousse2275 Check Midway. They may not have them this time of year and they may not be exactly like Paul's. It's an inexpensive field jacket in tan or olive. I have both colors. Well made too.
I'd consider myself as a basement dwelling gamer type-viewer. However, that is exactly why I watch Paul Harrel and/or Forgotten Weapons: because I enjoy learning from clearly experienced people.
Same here and my advise to Paul is that he needs to keep his ego in check. listen Paul, your content stands for itself and no matter what you do you will be trolled, that's what people do on social media. You need to do one of two things, 1) Stop reading comments (I would suggest this, I never read comments) 2) ignore the trolls. Your content is great but you just spent 7 minutes at the start dealing with trolls that you really didn't need to. In my eyes you are an expert, one of many I listen to and like most things, they can be done correctly many different ways and I always take your opinion in high regard and don't always agree and don't need to when I feel you are correct most the time. Stop allowing the trolls to get you triggered like this. Also, calling out people as basement dwelling kids is common for people who get triggered emotionally by internet trolls and actually insults a lot of normal people, especially younger generations which which is a normal in life. Stick to the facts and science and most your viewers will also ignore trolls.
Mr. Harrell, you continue to amaze me favorably. As an old man who served in the U. S. Army and qualified expert with both the M14 and M16 platforms, who grew up hunting and has continued into advanced years, who has carried concealed for well over 50 years, and who still shoots regularly and often, I find you refreshing, instructive and entertaining. Your knowledge, skill, and experience are evident and your self-control and patience must be nearly limitless. I often learn from your videos and I never fail to be entertained. Thank you for your service to our country and thank you for your continuing service to the shooting community through this channel.
I love Paul’s expositions. He is like the grandfather who is exasperated by idiots. Sort of like he asks his grandson for a socket wrench and a light and is handed a Phillips screw driver and a slice of salami.
Paul would probably sigh and say, “The word you’re looking for is ‘pendantic.’ Now, I realize that many of you did not have a proper education that included a plethora of educated vocabulary; however, I have. I find the quality of education, and thus the lack of educated people is in decline. The only suggestion I would offer would be to purchase a thesaurus and actually read it.”
@@MrKingArthurhk Oh c'mon man, Paul wouldn't be that elitist/snobby. I don't think he'd even bother calling himself pedantic when he can just call himself long winded. Either way tho, he should really make more "longwinded" videos, those are the most entertaining for me. So i concur with sigonsteele. Stay long winded Paul, stay long winded.
“Some people said I should use a two point sling, or a… one point sling” Lol, I see what you did there. Unfortunately some people need videos like this. What is also unfortunate is that those people will not accept the information presented that they need to hear.
My own experience. These "special kind of people" ARE USUALLY NOT FROM THE US. Since most of them are not from the USA they get their gun knowledge from video games, TV show or whatever and from Fuddlore on the internet. They DO NOT LIKE TO WATCH EDUCATIONAL content when come to firearms. They prefer channels like FPS Russia or channel that do a lot of shooting.
The true dedication to being a teacher on Paul's behalf comes from the clarification of every possible nuance possible. Making sure to put the effort into tying to have not a single soul is left behind no matter who they are puts this man's teaching ability to a realm I've never seen before. Truly a man of intellect, talent, and patience most of all. Major kudos.
I have never once watched a Paul Harrell video and thought "He was too long winded" or "I'm confused. He didn't explain that thoroughly enough." I think all the trolls need to take a long walk off a short pier. I also think this video is a great illustration of the Dunning Kruger effect in action (trolls thinking they know much more than Paul). P.S. I SWEAR I wrote the last line before I heard 46:30!
I've thought to myself "damn this guy talks a lot". The thing with Paul is that there's value to the words he speaks. A lot of people, such as the parrot-esque trolls, just spew bullshit endlessly.
@@taterprintsgats You're almost exactly right... There's a fine line between "TALKS a lot" and "SAYS a lot." As other commenters have mentioned already, Paul's "dawn of time" explanations are truly valuable Master classes.
I know right! I really feel his pain when he has to go into an hour-long rant about these idiot teenagers making stupid comments. But I think Paul is the only person that can make an hour long ass ripping video interesting!
We must endeavor in more concerted trolling campaigns against paul harrell in order to get the long winded winded from the beginning of time content that we came here for
I appreciate the fact that Paul is a professional, yet doesn’t talk about how professional he is. I get tired of the “Hi, I’m a former Navy Seal” at the beginning of many “other” gun channels.
This man has attained a level of responding to trolls in a witty, hilarious, and simultaneously respectful and condescending way that everyone else on the internet can only dream of.
I could see a younger version applying this careful, almost clinical, explanation of a screw-up (that, while avoiding shouting or profanity nonetheless leaves the screwer-upper feeling about three inches tall) to some hapless subordinate who managed to step on their male member in some fashion.
I enjoy Paul passive aggressively reloading without looking at the firearm instead staring at the camera, likely inadvertently to prove even more that he is knowledgeable in what he is talking about.
Literally every accomplished shooter looks at their firearm when reloading because it is faster. You are right though, it does display a level of knowledge… just not the way you interpret it.
@@primercast have you ever watched the Paul Harrell video titled "rebuttal"? The last guy that told Paul to look at his gun while reloading got his entire life dismantled over the course of a hour long verbal beat down. Side note: to quote Paul Harrell "how to spot a fake expert" fake experts use absolutes. "Literally every accomplished shooter" is a silly statement from a silly man
A couple of years ago Paul gave me advice that helped save my butt when a freak tried to harm me. His method of finding what works for you as a individual and training to that is some very valuable advice . IMHO this man knows his stuff. So Paul, just keep doing what you do best. Not all of your audience are morons.
@@gregb6469 That bulk of that discussion will stay between me and Paul. However in my previous reply there is one very valuable point that would apply to most people....train for what works properly for you and your situation.
Personally as a novice gun user/owner I enjoy the in depth discussions you do. I have found them very helpful in my firearm learning experience and they have even given me things to think about when considering my firearm choices in terms of purchasing and deployment. Also I appreciate the commentary as it pertains to those that comment without insight into what they are commenting on. Keep up the great work and awesome videos!
Who would of thought a meme comment on TH-cam would get a video taken down out of being upset at said comment. I like the videos and the memes. I found it to be a great blend of both. Learned and laughed.
Thank you Mr Harrell for all that you do. It is valued and appreciated. Even and sometimes especially your "long winded" descriptions. Many has been the day I have watched and rewatched your presentations to soak up details.
Gee. Deleting a video based on negative comments? Paul, most people who love your videos just like each one of them and don't comment, and the most upvoted comments are always the positive ones. Failure of others to understand your presentations -- given how thorough they are -- is their failure, not yours. Thank you for all your hard work.
I can't tell if he gets the modern warfare reference "switching to your pistol is faster than reloading" and is making a bit of a joke or if he just actually thinks we're stupid. Which, to be fair, we are.
@@microwavetechnician7493 ; The thing is that meme are simply used the wrong way, memetics is supposed to be used to convey information, it turned into spouting bullshit however. Also if you wouldn't be familiar with they subject one might surmise that such a meme was actually the truth.
@@microwavetechnician7493 What Paul stumbled upon here, is what I call 'The Chinese Room Experiment of the Internet.' Since I also don't particularly feel like going into a 'dawn of time' explanation, just google 'Chinese room thought experiment,' and then, with that bit of knowledge under your belt, you should be able to see how people are firing off pre-programmed responses to given conditions or stimuli. That's what the 'switching to your pistol is faster than reloading' meme-spam was about. It's not that they were communicating anything that carried meaning, that was just the programmed response. It only looks meaningful to an observer outside the room because we infer meaning based on our context. They aren't aware of even the existence of any meaning of the phrase, they're just spouting random words that they happened to get programmed to respond with given the stimuli. It's just an input-response system. There's no thinking, and it perfectly describes people on the internet who 'communicate' in nothing but memes and stupid South Park references.
@@stupidanon5941 Calling it "The Chinese Room" makes it seem much fancier than it is. It's just Pavlov's Dog: - Bell rings, dog drools. - Paul says 'transition to handgun', dog references _Modern Warfare_ meme.
i was really confused when i clicked this without looking at the date and i thought the system glitched and gave me an unlisted video with 1 view. i actually just got recommended it on the exact second that it was uploaded
Paul: I'm gonna have to explain transitioning to your secondary weapon, starting at the dawn of time, from a middleschooler's point of view. Me: very interesting please continue...
Especially the sheer amount of ammo and accoutrements that get pulled out of the pockets of that thing! Watch his spending an unexpected night out alone video and I can well imagine what he though of how much better his experience would’ve been with such a jacket, later!
As a seasoned shooter and an old man safety and informational lessons and reminders are always welcome. Besides informational your videos are very entertaining. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos!
I got to meet Paul at the gun show,people named Paul are always good souls,nice collection he has and a warm greeting.....had a chat about 357 Sig,I bought a shirt...
It never ceases to amaze me that people try to have a “gotcha” moment with an expert like Mr. Harrell. 99 times out of 100 they end up looking like a 3rd grader trying to school their scoutmaster. 🤣
"1500 years ago everybody KNEW the the Earth was the center of the Universe. 500 years ago everybody KNEW the Earth was flat and 15 minutes ago you KNEW that people were alone on this planet." "Imagine what you'll "know" tomorrow."
@@UncleWermus That one's actually incorrect. 2500 years ago, or thereabouts, everybody knew the Earth was roughly spherical and some people even managed to measure it pretty accurately more than 500 years ago. Eratosthenes of Cyrene (born c. 276 bce, Cyrene, Libya-died c. 194 bce, Alexandria, Egypt) and Abu Rayhan al-Biruni /ælbɪˈruːni/ (973 - after 1050), Eratosthenes with shadow angles and al-Biruni with the angle between the horizon and eye-level are two examples.
As a 25 year old that lives in his mom's basement... I resent the first 8 min of this video. lol But I always defer to your experience and knowledge Mr. Harrell, and I appreciate how much you've taught me. Thanks man, I'm always taking notes.
Remember, it's always faster to listen to Paul's presentations the first time than get absolutely fucking roasted in a reply video later on down the line.
I say, thank god for idiots and trolls. If not we wouldn't have Paul's dissertation explaining to them why they are idiots and trolls. Keep up the good work Paul!
When Harry Callahan said "a man's got to know his limitations" what he was really talking about was how old men's rotator cuffs can call the tune on holster placement.
@@Griffo34 I had to good fortune to break my tailbone jumping off the New River Gorge bridge in my early 20's. Because of that lesson I still have knees and shoulders. I'm sure the military didn't give Paul any choices in the matter and he carries the damage.
For those who do not like what Mr. Harrell is doing, please change the channel, and leave the rest of us who come here to learn and be entertained alone. To you Mr. Harrell I say you are doing a great job by informing us on different topics and maintaining a honest and unbiased opinion. Also always reminding what works best for you may be different than what works best for the individual. Keep up the great work.👍
But if they did that, we wouldn’t get gems like this video. Don’t misunderstand, Paul’s feathers seem genuinely ruffled by some of those comments, so I don’t want it to happen that often. Once every couple of months.
I dont think Paul realizes that the reason his double barreled shotgun is defective is because it can fire one barrel at a time and everyone knows that the only advantage of a double barreled shotgun is to dump two loads of buckshot into a charging demon or some other reprobate in one volley.
Many moderately priced, side by side double barreled shotguns do have selective fire. Mine allows to fire both barrels by pulling both triggers at once. The one at time option is great for more fragile targets. It also reduces reloading per blast significantly.
Been watching a LONG time, Paul, and never found a fault or problem in your delivery or content. Just plain helpful, educational and humorous in some very appropriate ways. Your true motives show in your flexibility and diligence in dealing with those who misunderstand, or ferociously and arrogantly engage their keyboards before their brains. Keep up the good work. You're obviously a well-trained, well-rounded professional.
He's definitely not required to explain all this mundane information that anyone who has spent any significant time around firearms probably already knows, but lord knows hes going to spend nearly an hour explaining himself.
He didn’t me anything fascinating about a side by side. I have been a fan I still have a Stevens that was put to legal length and was my wife’s first weapon when I was at work, working rotating shifts doing and experiencing things she didn’t and still doesn’t want to know about. Hell, it took years for the nightmares to end. They still happen on rare occasion. There is crap that you can’t unsee.
Please don't stop giving long winded explanations because of a few idiots, Paul. You're an amazing content creator and firearms teacher. You have taught me more than any paid course could, you got my girlfriend into firearms despite her previously being afraid of them, and the same can be said for many former anti gun friends because of your calm verbose presentation style. My point being, you don't have a stammer, you don't have strange pauses, you are an intelligent witty man, and those love your content love it just as it is. We love you Paul :)♥️
I live in a basement, it is not my Mom's (she died last year of Parkinson's and Covid). I play with a Keyboard and Trackball (Blood elf DK). Occasionally a welder. Occasionally = daily.
Man, I feel like he didn't like how I, along with a whole bunch of people, liked how he literally made a video about whether reloading is slower than switching to sidearm. Especially sad since his fruit killing skills are remarkable.
Your "dawn of time" explanations are typically enlightening and frequently entertaining. Keep doing what you do, the way you see fit. You obviously know what you're doing.
I like single point setups on a plate carrier, setup on the shoulder to avoid the nut racking. We set up wolf-hooks on our kit overseas for general use. Other than that, they’re pointless. Two points are the way to go lol
26:06. Caught the camera operator during a moment of weakness. Absolutely priceless. Paul, your gift for combining technical real world objectivity juxtaposed with deadpan sarcasm where appropriate is on a level that can not be described and I doubt will ever be superseded. Kudos to you and your team. Keep 'em coming!
Don’t forget gun Jesus, GunBlue390, Larry Potterfield, The Real Gunsmith, etc. Paul is great but he’s far from the only genuine expert. Speaking of experts.. Be sure to check out the vid how to spot a fake expert and fake expert part two that Paul did three and one year ago respectively. 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@sweetdrahthaar7951 PUAL, DEMO RANCH, Hickok45, & kentuckybalistics, ak guy, & forgotten weapons are all i need. I watch a few others but litterally... Paul is the best of them in my opinion... Excommunicated! (Joke from another comment from this video)
@@KurticeYZreacts Those guys are all great and I’m glad the Kentucky ballistics guy survived. If you don’t know about the ones I mentioned you should check them out. Ian McCollum is not called gun Jesus for nothing. I’m just amazed that a young guy like that is such a historian and author.
Paul, I come here to listen and watch your presentation because I like your personality, presentation style, and I think you provide excellent context for the premium knowledge you provide. I have had many great teachers in academia as well as in personal life, and you are a high quality orator and educator (regardless of whether you are too humble to admit it). Please don't change and keep up the great work! Thank you for what you do.

The nature of what you share in your videos involves lethal force and deserves ALL of the explanations that you feel are appropriate for safety. Since you do not know if a viewer is watching you for the first time, repetition is essential for clarity. People can always fast forward a "long winded" explanation if they wish and get to the main point of your topic. Too bad hateful and judgmental people feel justified in making inane comments on a superb channel.
Summary: Paul speaks a bit about topics that internet people have 'corrected him on'. Meanwhile, the rest of us Zen out and learn a few things we didn't know that we didn't know.
You are precisely right! Most of us would do well to just learn what he has forgotten about firearms. And…it doesn’t appear he has forgotten too much lol
Me: "Paul, what time is it?"
Paul: "Well, to answer this question, we have to first understand the different methods by which time is kept. Some timepieces keep a steady pace through a combination of spring tension and carefully calibrated gear assemblies, while atomic clocks keep time according to the known rate of decay of a radioactive isotope. I have with me my chronometer which is calibrated to match the current international atomic time. Let's measure these two clocks and see which one is more accurate..."
But at what altitude!??
Yep that’s today’s best comment
I needed this
It has to begin with the sundial.
Leave it to you to use his short explanation😁
The lesson for today is 'don't make the nice man angry'. People who have seen shit and done shit tend to be humble guys. They know what they can do. They don't need to walk through life proving it to everyone. Quiet competence is the mark of a professional.

Paul Harrell - “this is going to be a long winded explanation”
Me- *gets popcorn and a drink
I get a cup of coffee or an adult drink depending upon the time of day. Sit down and enjoy.
"This is gona be long winded" oh boy thats a sign that this is gona be good
Wanderlust... I totally agree. I wanted some background noise so I'm playing video games on my phone I made the mistake of going to his TH-cam channel I stopped playing the game on my phone which was my main objective for the day. But I stopped playing the game to watch my background noise. Love his videos and simplified long winded explanations that a nuclear physicist could understand or a kid who just learned how to read.
I never thought that I’d hear Paul Harrell ranting about Modern Warfare trolls, this is so weird, it’s like a hallucination. I actually starting laughing really loud when he said the quote and said something about a watermelon.
I always, always LOL watching his stuff.
I saw that same thing on a CheyTac Intervention vid by Forgotten Weapons. Comments was filled with a bunch of people ignoring the interesting stuff about the rifle and making stupid comments.
The watermelon thing cracked me up
@@xSupra I feel you man. Everyone just wants their 15 minutes of fame
I don't think all commenters merit a response, but I do enjoy Paul responding to them.
I remember as a teacher getting taught that if enough people give you the wrong feedback/error on a test etc than something was wrong with the instructor or the test etc. So if enough of these morons are saying the same wrong thing he definitely needs to "clarify" for them their errors, its his duty!
Sounds like Paul is getting a lot more new viewers. And that’s just great.
1: Paul reads the comments
2: He’s what you call a professional
3: if you think you know more than he does about HIS guns & gear, you’re probably wrong
As for #3, I would change it to "you're definitely wrong"
Don't speak too soon - I know a lot about cooking in Dutch cookers and cake mix....
@@PH_INFO_101 I stand corrected
@@warrenmargetson597 HAHAHAHAHAHAH! Those are some great episodes. I really enjoy his Thanksgiving presentations.
#3-there probably is somebody smarter than Paul about this stuff but if you’re sitting in your mothers basement playing video games it ain’t you.
The saying, "he doesn't suffer fools lightly" comes to mind.
“There’s people who don’t like my jacket”
Make fun of it all you want, but that’s a great vintage jacket. Paul, you have very nice jackets.
I've been trying to find something similar that doesn't cost hundreds and/or isn't camo or orange. Only thing I can find are vests.
@@stevenlabrousse2275 look on eBay. I’ve found a couple with the search “vintage Sears hunting jacket”.
He does have some cool jackets and I don't know how he gets all that stuff in and out of the pockets LOL!
Maybe eBay has a complete section called the Paul Harrell Collection.. If they don't they should!!
@@stevenlabrousse2275 Check Midway. They may not have them this time of year and they may not be exactly like Paul's. It's an inexpensive field jacket in tan or olive. I have both colors. Well made too.
The opening gave me "rebuttal" flashbacks
I'd consider myself as a basement dwelling gamer type-viewer. However, that is exactly why I watch Paul Harrel and/or Forgotten Weapons: because I enjoy learning from clearly experienced people.
This, And even while Paul is berating stupid people I learn. I now know the difference between and A1 and A2 are platform rifles lol
@Dr. Ass such as?
@Dr. Ass What a bold claim with no substance or evidence to back it up.
Same here and my advise to Paul is that he needs to keep his ego in check. listen Paul, your content stands for itself and no matter what you do you will be trolled, that's what people do on social media. You need to do one of two things, 1) Stop reading comments (I would suggest this, I never read comments) 2) ignore the trolls. Your content is great but you just spent 7 minutes at the start dealing with trolls that you really didn't need to. In my eyes you are an expert, one of many I listen to and like most things, they can be done correctly many different ways and I always take your opinion in high regard and don't always agree and don't need to when I feel you are correct most the time. Stop allowing the trolls to get you triggered like this. Also, calling out people as basement dwelling kids is common for people who get triggered emotionally by internet trolls and actually insults a lot of normal people, especially younger generations which which is a normal in life. Stick to the facts and science and most your viewers will also ignore trolls.
@Dr. Ass perfect name
Paul is a professional and an intellectual person. Thats why many people cant relate
So true 🤣
yes
Mr. Harrell, you continue to amaze me favorably. As an old man who served in the U. S. Army and qualified expert with both the M14 and M16 platforms, who grew up hunting and has continued into advanced years, who has carried concealed for well over 50 years, and who still shoots regularly and often, I find you refreshing, instructive and entertaining. Your knowledge, skill, and experience are evident and your self-control and patience must be nearly limitless. I often learn from your videos and I never fail to be entertained. Thank you for your service to our country and thank you for your continuing service to the shooting community through this channel.
Well said! Ditto!
Amen, what he said
I'd love to see Mr Harrell explain to his significant other how to correctly load the dishwasher...
Lol

I love Paul’s expositions. He is like the grandfather who is exasperated by idiots. Sort of like he asks his grandson for a socket wrench and a light and is handed a Phillips screw driver and a slice of salami.
Everyone needs a quick snack every now and then.
The salami though, I've no idea what grandson was thinking.

Stay long winded Paul, stay long winded.
Paul would probably sigh and say, “The word you’re looking for is ‘pendantic.’ Now, I realize that many of you did not have a proper education that included a plethora of educated vocabulary; however, I have. I find the quality of education, and thus the lack of educated people is in decline. The only suggestion I would offer would be to purchase a thesaurus and actually read it.”
@@MrKingArthurhk Oh c'mon man, Paul wouldn't be that elitist/snobby. I don't think he'd even bother calling himself pedantic when he can just call himself long winded.
Either way tho, he should really make more "longwinded" videos, those are the most entertaining for me. So i concur with sigonsteele. Stay long winded Paul, stay long winded.
@@droganovic6879 That was the point. Being both correct and long winded.
@@MrKingArthurhk - That hurt my brain to read.
I never understood why someone would use a big word when a diminutive one would suffice.
@@MrKingArthurhk I have, I did. Your polysyllabic diction is as pedantic as what you just wrote about. ;-)
Paul, I don't care what anyone else says about you.... You're a gentleman and a scholar.
“Some people said I should use a two point sling, or a… one point sling”
Lol, I see what you did there. Unfortunately some people need videos like this. What is also unfortunate is that those people will not accept the information presented that they need to hear.
People who say Paul doesn't know what he's talking about are the reason the phrase "special kind of stupid" was coined.
Those people need to watch the "Rebuttal" video over and over until they get the point.
To quote John Wayne, “Life is hard. It’s harder when you’re stupid.”
It's not about stupid, it's about pride. Some people are too proud to consider that their knowledge/experience has limits.
My own experience. These "special kind of people" ARE USUALLY NOT FROM THE US. Since most of them are not from the USA they get their gun knowledge from video games, TV show or whatever and from Fuddlore on the internet. They DO NOT LIKE TO WATCH EDUCATIONAL content when come to firearms. They prefer channels like FPS Russia or channel that do a lot of shooting.
My criticism on Paul Harrel's presentations is about the fact that they end too soon
Absolutely Agree.
You’d think that a channel revolves around guns wouldn’t get flak for such remedial reasons. 48 minutes tells me elsewise
The true dedication to being a teacher on Paul's behalf comes from the clarification of every possible nuance possible. Making sure to put the effort into tying to have not a single soul is left behind no matter who they are puts this man's teaching ability to a realm I've never seen before. Truly a man of intellect, talent, and patience most of all. Major kudos.
I have never once watched a Paul Harrell video and thought "He was too long winded" or "I'm confused. He didn't explain that thoroughly enough." I think all the trolls need to take a long walk off a short pier. I also think this video is a great illustration of the Dunning Kruger effect in action (trolls thinking they know much more than Paul).
P.S. I SWEAR I wrote the last line before I heard 46:30!
Facts
I've thought to myself "damn this guy talks a lot". The thing with Paul is that there's value to the words he speaks. A lot of people, such as the parrot-esque trolls, just spew bullshit endlessly.
@@taterprintsgats You're almost exactly right... There's a fine line between "TALKS a lot" and "SAYS a lot."
As other commenters have mentioned already, Paul's "dawn of time" explanations are truly valuable Master classes.
I know this kind of shit causes Paul headaches, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I loved when Papa Paul gets pissed and makes a video about it. 😅
I know right! I really feel his pain when he has to go into an hour-long rant about these idiot teenagers making stupid comments. But I think Paul is the only person that can make an hour long ass ripping video interesting!
Like "sit in your mommas basement and play with your joystick". He is a mad lad under that jacket. Love it.
Ahh, he's having a good time with it.
He's having fun and making a little side cash.
We must endeavor in more concerted trolling campaigns against paul harrell in order to get the long winded winded from the beginning of time content that we came here for
100% agree!
Maybe next time we get a 2 hour video of explanations, disclaimers and demonstrations. And hopefully a lot of counter-roasting. I like those.
Hear hear! 🥳
I watch Paul's videos because the scenery is amazing, the style is top notch and knowledge is second to none. Thanks Paul, keep doing what you do bud!
I appreciate the fact that Paul is a professional, yet doesn’t talk about how professional he is. I get tired of the “Hi, I’m a former Navy Seal” at the beginning of many “other” gun channels.

Like the condensation waiting to drip on me, when I take a sip of my drink.
amen
I wonder if anyone else laughed as much as I did while enjoying the instruction ?
I enjoy Paul passive aggressively reloading without looking at the firearm instead staring at the camera, likely inadvertently to prove even more that he is knowledgeable in what he is talking about.
Literally every accomplished shooter looks at their firearm when reloading because it is faster. You are right though, it does display a level of knowledge… just not the way you interpret it.
@@primercast have you ever watched the Paul Harrell video titled "rebuttal"? The last guy that told Paul to look at his gun while reloading got his entire life dismantled over the course of a hour long verbal beat down.

Also I appreciate the commentary as it pertains to those that comment without insight into what they are commenting on. Keep up the great work and awesome videos!
Here I am trying to get some sleep & Paul uploads a video. Thankfully his voice is near ASMR quality.

@@microwavetechnician7493 ; The thing is that meme are simply used the wrong way, memetics is supposed to be used to convey information, it turned into spouting bullshit however. Also if you wouldn't be familiar with they subject one might surmise that such a meme was actually the truth.
@@FirstDagger the meme does convey information. being useful or correct information is not for the meme to decide.
@@microwavetechnician7493 What Paul stumbled upon here, is what I call 'The Chinese Room Experiment of the Internet.' Since I also don't particularly feel like going into a 'dawn of time' explanation, just google 'Chinese room thought experiment,' and then, with that bit of knowledge under your belt, you should be able to see how people are firing off pre-programmed responses to given conditions or stimuli. That's what the 'switching to your pistol is faster than reloading' meme-spam was about. It's not that they were communicating anything that carried meaning, that was just the programmed response. It only looks meaningful to an observer outside the room because we infer meaning based on our context. They aren't aware of even the existence of any meaning of the phrase, they're just spouting random words that they happened to get programmed to respond with given the stimuli. It's just an input-response system. There's no thinking, and it perfectly describes people on the internet who 'communicate' in nothing but memes and stupid South Park references.

But if they did that, we wouldn’t get gems like this video. Don’t misunderstand, Paul’s feathers seem genuinely ruffled by some of those comments, so I don’t want it to happen that often. Once every couple of months.
I dont think Paul realizes that the reason his double barreled shotgun is defective is because it can fire one barrel at a time and everyone knows that the only advantage of a double barreled shotgun is to dump two loads of buckshot into a charging demon or some other reprobate in one volley.
Or as a current politician would erroneously say, "fire two blasts" to "deal with a problem".
Rip and tear.
Many moderately priced, side by side double barreled shotguns do have selective fire. Mine allows to fire both barrels by pulling both triggers at once. The one at time option is great for more fragile targets. It also reduces reloading per blast significantly.
That game's old enough that it's entirely possible that Paul has actually played it.
Been watching a LONG time, Paul, and never found a fault or problem in your delivery or content. Just plain helpful, educational and humorous in some very appropriate ways. Your true motives show in your flexibility and diligence in dealing with those who misunderstand, or ferociously and arrogantly engage their keyboards before their brains. Keep up the good work. You're obviously a well-trained, well-rounded professional.
Paul's exasperated sighs just show how disappointed he is that he is required to explain/demonstrate everything in excruciating detail.
hes pretty much teaching first graders at this point
He's definitely not required to explain all this mundane information that anyone who has spent any significant time around firearms probably already knows, but lord knows hes going to spend nearly an hour explaining himself.
The upside of the idiots pissing Paul off in the comments is that we get a second video.
That was my thought _precisely,_ and a longer one to boot! :)

omg this. every single time. But, you know - everyone's an operator these days.
Maybe their balls are too small to be hit by a dangling 6 pound + rifle?
Don't you know, all "real" operators wear a cup...
I like single point setups on a plate carrier, setup on the shoulder to avoid the nut racking. We set up wolf-hooks on our kit overseas for general use.
Other than that, they’re pointless. Two points are the way to go lol
Two point all day
I for one appreciate your "dawn of time" format. just found your channel tonight and I have already learned so much.
26:06. Caught the camera operator during a moment of weakness. Absolutely priceless. Paul, your gift for combining technical real world objectivity juxtaposed with deadpan sarcasm where appropriate is on a level that can not be described and I doubt will ever be superseded. Kudos to you and your team. Keep 'em coming!
When you want gun knowledge it's Paul Harrel period.
YEP.
Gun Jesus is a good compliment to Paul's extensive knowledge.
Don’t forget gun Jesus, GunBlue390, Larry Potterfield, The Real Gunsmith, etc. Paul is great but he’s far from the only genuine expert. Speaking of experts.. Be sure to check out the vid how to spot a fake expert and fake expert part two that Paul did three and one year ago respectively. 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@sweetdrahthaar7951 PUAL, DEMO RANCH, Hickok45, & kentuckybalistics, ak guy, & forgotten weapons are all i need. I watch a few others but litterally... Paul is the best of them in my opinion... Excommunicated! (Joke from another comment from this video)
@@KurticeYZreacts Those guys are all great and I’m glad the Kentucky ballistics guy survived. If you don’t know about the ones I mentioned you should check them out. Ian McCollum is not called gun Jesus for nothing. I’m just amazed that a young guy like that is such a historian and author.
Some people are just parrots, Paul. Parrots who've learned to type in the comment section.
No kidding.
Some people are just parrots.
Some people are just parrots
They are just out to try to prove Emile Borel wrong!
That is an insult to parrots.
If you've ever laughed at a sitcom with a laugh track you've been brainwashed and didn't even know it
Paul, I come here to listen and watch your presentation because I like your personality, presentation style, and I think you provide excellent context for the premium knowledge you provide. I have had many great teachers in academia as well as in personal life, and you are a high quality orator and educator (regardless of whether you are too humble to admit it). Please don't change and keep up the great work! Thank you for what you do.
