Anything more than a muzzle loading black powder matchlock is an evil, military "style" (fashionable?) high powered assault rifle. Probably with those "double-barrel magazine assault clips"

David Sherburne
I think you missed his point. He meant you need to EXTENSIVELY know your ammo and the gun you're going to shoot it with.
I happened to read this word for word while he said it in the video. It was magical.
@Hidden Woodsman No, it's totally true. You need A LOT of learning. A LITTLE learning is a dangerous thing.
An example: taking 2 months of a say...6 year psychology course for whatever...
Those 2 months were spent absorbing building blocks to which are meant to gather future information. To take those building blocks and put together your own "knowledge" would be as destructive as it was productive.
Not only will that understanding lead to significant misunderstanding, it will create confusion that feels like confidence. Applying that to this, you have a clue but not an understanding; which leads you to blow your index finger off.
let me answer this question with a counterquestion, do you put benzine in a diesel engine?........... no! good! then dont run around useing the wrong ammo either!
Great spelling........
Yes. It's an organic solvent and can remove sludge. Drain the old engine oil and put the plug back in. Fill the engine with benzene and let it sit a few hours. Then drain the benzene, change the filter, and put new engine oil in.

+Steven Wheeler might be almost impossible at this point, unless someone is willing to try a modern day Gunpowder Plot.
Alex Moore I suggest taking freedom by whatever means necessary.
+Steven Wheeler It's just handguns we aren't allowed, we can still own high power rifles and shotguns which are far more dangerous than a lot of handguns, crazy, really. Although there seems to be a grey area when dealing with historical handguns (e.g. flintlock pistols).
Hickok says "mainly you just don't want to do anything stupid" This is the secret to success in most situations. LOL
Big thumbs up!
I remember as a little kid I asked, "Why don't the military load their assault rifles with shotgun shells!? That way they can fire 30 shotgun shells at full auto at the bad guys!"
DARPA/DOD Probably had that idea at least at some point during the SALVO/ACR program

That is not a bad idea tho good for close quarters

Coming in so late you'll probably never see this, but thank you so much for all you've taught me. You're not only an inspiration to a not so great shooter, but you have taught me things I have a genuine interest in. So yeah, thank you for being you!
You are so correct; I'm very unlikely to see this comment, but if I HAD seen it, I'd probably say "Thanks, and I appreciate you tuning in." :-) Hang in there and keep shooting; you'll get better at shooting. For one thing, you don't HAVE to be a "great" shooter to really enjoy the shooting hobby. There are lots of people who can shoot better than I do, but I enjoy shooting it just as much as they do, probably even more. Rob Leatham could outshoot me in his sleep weak-handed, but I'm confident that he does not enjoy firearms anymore than I do. :-)
I like your style, I like your humour, even when you're serious at a theme like this! Thank your for years of entertainment and education.

So any update on owing a gun? I own 5 myself
Good video Hickok, glad you put your input on this subject.
+Tim Robinson - I saw that too. The PPQ in 45 acp is one handgun that really interests me. Although I have to move out of California to own one.
+Toozman would you mind explaining why? I'm from germany and find the different gun laws in the states very confusing. Why is a .45 ppq not ok to own in cali?
+firebladeflow I'm from California and can explain. All new handguns sold in California have to be approved by the California government. Walther would have to submit the handgun to California government to be tested. But it would never pass California testing due to features California requires. One feature being double microstamping.
+firebladeflow Cali has laws regarding trigger pull weight, manual safeties, magazine capacity, caliber, safe storage, "bullet button" AR's, etc etc etc.
+jmans56 If you slow the video down to .5 speed under settings Hickok sounds drunk as hell LOL. Try it.
Good vid. May I second you on "Read the stamping on the barrel?" Some time ago I bought a gun which I understood to be a 44-40. I spent quite a while finding cartridges for it, and was thinking I'd most likely have to get into hand loading to feed it. Finally got it out the range and found 2 things. 1) it was very inaccurate, and 2) it jammed a lot. Took it to a more knowledgeable friend of mine, who was thinking the jams were maybe some roughness on the chamber walls. We examined the spend casings and what was wrong occurred to us at the same moment. A check of the barrel stampings revealed that it was a .44, not a 44-40.It chambered fine, but when fired the necked down 44-40 case was getting flattened out against the .44 chamber walls, making it stick. And the undersized round was bouncing down the barrel a bit, causing the inaccuracy. No harm was caused, but it was sure embarrassing to realize I could be so negligent.
It would be more than embarrassing if you got a 44 to go in a 44-40😢🍻
Its pretty common for gangsters to put the wrong ammo in their guns and get like one shot off and the gun jams up and they panic. Happens all the time.
+Crusader citation?
I'm seen that happen ...
how would you know that this is common? There are documented instances of this happening? Doubt it.

When in doubt, I went to my local gun/hunting store, asked their gunsmith what would you recommend for ammo for this firearm? Then I went onto the gun manufacturer's website and sent an e-mail to their techs and matched the imfo. Nothing against your fav TH-cam celeb but get this kind of imfo from the people who make the ammo, and firearms. hickok45 even said it, ask your local hunting/firearm store or better yet a local certified gunsmith. Thumbs up for this vid. m/ ;)
my church pastor found a rifle very similar to the one your handling at a yard sale for $50 original was Al rusted he fixed it up it's a beauty
I always tell people to stay with factory guns and factory ammo, and if you reload?, only shoot your reloads. I don't trust other people's reloads. Short story, I once picked up a live round off the ground at a shooting range and fired it in my S&W model 15, I had to tap the cylinder out with a plastic hammer, and later I learned that the frame of the gun had been Stretched!!!. I got the gun back to where it would work but it never was the same ): I filed this under Mistakes I Have Made, it's a pretty large file too ): ?
This reminds me of a story I read on Gunboards, a guy was shooting his SVT and a mosin shooter offered him some ammo. The guy didn't know what issue could be had and so he did so. Both guns shoot the same ammo and so he thought it should be fine. Well, that round blew the gas well off the barrel, sent the bolt back with such force that it cracked the bolt carrier and bent back the metal of the area of the bolt carrier slides on. Moral of the story, don't trust foreign reloads.
My dad bought reloads at a gun show and the projectiles were getting stuck partway down the barrel. Scary stuff. Now that is what will make a gun explode and blow your fingers off.
@@plaguepandemic5651 Never buy reloaded ammo, because you don't know how it was reloaded, and by whom ): ?
can i load a nuclear missile in my ruger 10/22?
Of course!
No but I can chamber an ICBM in my slingshot.
No, but you can load a 15kt nuclear Artillery shell, chambered in 16inch naval gun...Go ask the uss Iowa or Missouri tour guides if they have a spare for souvenir purposes
Just dont shoot the nuclear shell, within 10 miles of any Populated area...And keep it downwind from any populated areas, because it tends to make people downwind get really sick, and lose there hair for some reason
Uhhh it has 666k views
I once went to the range to shoot my beautiful old Steyr SL in .222 Rem Magnum. I shot twice and felt that something wasn't quite right, but I wasn't sure what it was. I load both .223, and .222 Rem Mag. cartridges, and was putting them in the same blue ammo boxes. Even though they were clearly labeled as .223 for my AR's, I just grabbed the wrong ones.
The two extracted cases had almost no neck. I was tremendously embarrassed and felt very lucky that I hadn't damaged myself or the rifle. After that stupid move, I bought red cases for the Magnums, and haven't come close to making the same mistake again.
I think (and cringe) about it every time I reload, and I keep those two cases on my loading bench to be a constant reminder.
Great video and a very important one.
I know when I got my first 9mm, 9mm Parabellum, 9mm Luger, 9mm Makarov confused me to no end and really forced me to read up on what rounds I could actually use in my 9mm.
Another big one is the +P rounds. They are nearly identical to normal rounds but are more powerful and if you load them in a non +P chambered handgun they will fire but you could get hurt or worse.

+Ookie I hated the outfield.

Great video. One of the most important bits of information on firearms and shooting. I remember in my gun safety course when I was a kid they taught us about the dreaded 12-20 double fire. When 20 gauge shell gets mixed up with a 12 gauge shells. The 20 is small enough to slide into the barrel just past the chamber and then a 12 gauge gets loaded on top of it and when fired the gun barrel detonates. Several other scenarios where the wrong ammo is used and the end result is injury or death to the shooter. I really appreciate the old school good advice you give to young shooters.
Thanks for another great video. Went to WalMart the other day and asked for .357 Mag the guy gave me .357 sig. I opened the box to see the brass because I reload and discovered that was the wrong round. Beware of salesman who do not know guns!!!!!!
U actually made it as far as opening the box?? I dont care where Im buying ammo or whos selling it to me, the first thing I do is look at the box to make sure they actually handed me what I asked for. Then I open at least one of the boxes just to make sure visually. Even small differences, like if its WW 115gr when I asked for 147gr(my carry ammo). Hollow points vs ball. Brass vs aluminum case. A lot of ammo manufacturers' use identical looking boxes with the only difference being whats type printed regarding bullet weight and type and case material.
Your first mistake was buying anything gun related at walmart.
You make an excellent point here. The last time I was at the range the guy next to me just bought a new 40 cal and on his first shot the gun jammed up. When I saw he was having a problem I ask if I could help and he handed me his pistol and I took a look and sure enough the range had sold him 380 ammo and it did chamber and fired one round but I told him you have the wrong ammo for this gun. Take it back inside and tell them you need 40 cal ammo and get a credit for the box of 380 that you don't need. A few minutes later the range guy came back to the range with that guys gun and fired 7 rounds of 40 cal through his gun to make sure the 380 round had not damaged anything. Lucky for the guy that bought the new S & W 40 cal it was still ok and no damage had been done.
8mm Mauser is 7,92mm and 308 is 7,62mm
case is a bit different. ive used 30-06 thats been trimmed and necked down and it works fine. 30-06 works great for 8mm mauser blanks.
@@weaniebeaniebur5725 it's more then the case the bullets are different diameter also. 8mm mauser being .323 in diameter and .308 being well it's in the name lol. Stuff a 8mm in a .308 and if for some reason it chambered even well now you've got a bullet much to big for the barrel trying to squeeze it's fat body down it.
Isn't 7.62 caliber 30 and 308 is 7.82
@@LavitosExodius true, but im just talking the case. Always make sure your using the correct diameter bullets when reloading. Im just saying a 30-06 case works well for reloading if you take the right steps to prep it.
@@joeybanana839 .308 is .308 as is 7.62 nato. Unless you want to measure in mms then yes their both 7.82 mm. Unless your talking Russian 7.62 which can be .309 to .312
"A little learning is a dangerous thing" I love this guy's country wisdom and common sense. Such a true statement.
Good educational video, Hickok45, about using the correct ammunition for the firearm.
+john smith Come on John! We learn this stuff in the mom's womb in Tennessee :)
+ArtisanTony ... When I was a young'n, I took an NRA hunter safety course. The teacher was a Fish 'n Game employee, but also a member of the NRA. He wore his government uniform. ...... Plus, he had a table full of mostly rifles that had busted apart, when people used the wrong ammunition, or clogged the barrel with mud. A couple of the shotguns, had barrels, that were NOT only split apart, but also had a few squiggles in the steel barrels. ...... The NRA teacher said, most of the accidents occurred because the men were hunting with John BarleyCorn. (A famous man back in the hills of Tennessee.)
+john smith I remember hunting squirrels when I was 7 and never loaded the wrong ammo in my gun :)
ArtisanTony..... Hopefully, even though you be a Tennessean, you weren't hunting with John BarleyCorn, at seven years of age.
+Star Kicker >Sing that song back in the hills of Tennessee, and a man could become a 'flavoring' added to the mash cooking in a big copper kettle.

Better yet, put a 20 ga. in your Glock 19 and fire it off :)
Noooooo u put a 30mm auto cannon in a 12 gauge
I saw a TH-cam video of someone doing that.
I mistakenly put 7.62x54r Mosin Nagant ammunition into a British 303 en-field one time thinking it was the right round. This was when I didn't know much about rifle cartridges and firearms in general. It was my buddy's gun and after he saw that I put in the wrong round he flipped and said to never do that again. He said I was lucky the weapon didn't fire when I pulled the trigger because it's possible for guns to blow up in your face from simply using the wrong ammo. Hickok45 is very right here. Safety first. Use the right ammunition please. Don't die or maim yourself from your own ignorance.

Hickok, thank you for a no-frills explanation on caliber and the consequences of recklessly experimenting with cartridges.
I cannot tell you how many times I have had this very same conversation with customers at my store.
Good video! About the .38 special into .357 magnum revolver that works fine, don't fire a .357 mag thru a .38 spec for the power factor (might not fit). Be aware of +P ratings of your gun too. Maybe a small video on the +P world might be a good follow up! I can't help but wonder if this ammo shortage hasn't made shooters searching for other cheaper options in ammo?
Great video, thanks for making this. Newcomers like myself might not have known to check the barrel for the exact round your weapon is chambered in (I know I didn't).
Keep up the great work!
.50cal in my potato gun worked well for me
+Gut well yah, when you use a musket round
You should make an educational playlist where you put your videos about safety, gun basics and shooting technique. A playlist like that would be super useful for new people.
+Hugh Woatmeigh We have a "Shooting Tips" playlist and a "Basics" playlist. I think most of them are in there, but probably not.
Wow, this is giving me heartburn right now. I just picked up a 1920 Colt 38 Police Positive and am having grave doubts as to whether it's made for 38 Special, 38 Long Colt or maybe Short Colt, or 38 Smith and Wesson. It just says 38 on the barrel. And I can't find any of these at a LGS (except Special, of course) to just try chambering a round. Thanks, Colt.
The stuff you talked about towards the middle of the video is why I am glad that the "+p" label is starting to be used by the industry on super hot loads so consumers can better differentiate.
I'm glad you made this video, because this could be a serious issue with some people, myself included with regard to .223's and 5.56 rounds for different guns because I really don't know much about rifles. The golden rule is this: if you don't know, ask. Gun stores are a lot like gyms, in that you should always ask if you don't know, because if you do something though guesswork you could end up seriously hurt, and in both places people are a lot more friendly than you may initially think, and are happy to share info
Don't let them fool you. The 223 and the 5.56 NATO is the same round. The difference is 223 is the civilian moniker and 5.56 NATO is the military moniker. Ammo companies try to convince people there two different types of rounds to make more money. The only thing you really need to worry about is don't use any rounds that are marked +p in guns not rated for it. Especially older guns. The +p may Break the firing mechanism.
my best friend brought some guys out to the range one day and this one new shooter loaded a .308 in a mosin nigant luckily it didn't blow up in his face but it is an issue to be addressed so thank you Hickok for doing so. To anyone wanting to tack friends out to a range just load the gun for them and keep an eye on your guns so theirs no problems like this
"If it doesn't fit you must acquit" :)

Thank you for that video! Even though I’m in the military, I’m only limited to what we weapons-qual in our inventory. 5.56, 7.62, 9mm, 12 gage shotguns, .50 cal and 40mm grenade launchers.
Still learning every day. 🇺🇸
@hickok45 I apologize if I have missed it, but do you have a video on different types of cartridges cases (brass, steel, aluminum)? If not, I think it is something worth pointing out.
honestly Hickok people if the person does not realize what type of ammo to put it in there firearm they shouldn't even have it in their hands until someone properly teaches them how to use it and educate them on ammo and the different types loads etc thank you for your video I love them

I love your range set up.
great video Mr Hickok , always amused by your humorous style, but serious professionalism to get the point across, thank you for sharing.
This is a good video! My Local stores including gun stores as well as larger sporting goods stores both do not do good training for the staff who sells the guns- ive found that they never show you how to operate the gun, or show you basics such as loading and unloading it as well as ever discussing the ammo- ive purchased several guns both used and new and not once have i had a salesman even attempt to give me basic education. I had this issue with a classic Winchester lever action thats 30 30. And i nearly purchased 30-06 thinking it would work- and im now also dealing with this becasue i got a Ubertti colt clone thats a .45 and im wondering if i can use 45 long colt- and im wondering if 200 or slightly over 200 grain is too hot for it or can it handle it- i hate that there is a lack of educated salespeople as well as poorly illustrated operation manuals which seem to not discuss this subject of different ammo and especially the grain strength of the ammo the gun is designed for.
thanks for doing this video some people do not know about the ballistics of the bullet. chambers gauge bullet grain the force to fire.. i like this video. most informative thank you. for explaining it so well.
This is why firearms education is such a great idea...
For revolvers, at least, the basic questions are: (1) Will it headspace correctly, (2) will it fit in the chamber, (3) is the maximum pressure the round will generate less than or equal to the maximum pressure the gun is rated for, (4) is the bullet diameter less than or equal to the diameter of the bullet the barrel is designed for (equal is fine; less will be less accurate and maybe wear the barrel faster, but isn't going to blow up the gun), and (5) if the gun is intended for use with black powder, is the cartridge you're contemplating loading loaded with black powder (if the gun is intended for smokeless, either is fine)?
If all 5 answers are yes, then you should be fine, even with things like loading a 44 magnum with 44 S&W American. If any of them are no . . . not so much.
"Just say no, and don't do it" the words of a true thinking man.
Good class teach! Had newbie put a 223 in my 30 30. Case ruptured in the chamber,stuck big x. Got it out with dowelling n hammer. Point is if this was my only rifle I'd b screwed. Some shooters think a smaller round isn't a prob. No shortcuts, use correct ammo. Even with rite ammo you can get a buldge esp with reloads or cheap ammo. My .02
The intro was hilarious!!!
I have shot .45 ACP 185gr. match loads in my .455 Webley auto when I couldn't buy .455 Webley ammo. It works alright however, the ACP bullet diameter is .452". The .455 Webley Auto bullet diameter is .455" to .458" depending on barrel variations. Accuracy was not the best. I ended up making the proper size bullet mould for casting and re-making .45 Colt revolver into .455 Webley auto. Accuracy and functioning were superb after that.
I love ur channel Hick and so does my son. We discuss things u show all the time.
Great stuff as always. Thanks!
My old middle school had this outdoor ED class and at one point or few the teacher taught us about gun safety and the dangers in mishandling firearms. He even showed us a vid of one short barreled rifle exploding in the dude's hand. I don't know if the class exists anymore, but I'm sure happy to have had it. C:
I had a Cabela's sales person who wanted to add a box of .357 magnum 158 grain JHP to my Glock 31C purchase.
Nice video. I agree, this can be confusing. One other confusing thing is cartridges that are the same thing but called something different. Like .380 ACP is also called 9mm Browning Court. Good advice to check with a knowledgeable person at your local gun shop.
"If you blow yourself up.... you can't watch our videos".....love it!
Wish I'd seen this earlier this year. I almost ruined a single action revolver because I didn't check the type of .45 ammo the clerk at the shooting range sold me after I used all my cowboy action loads. Even though the rounds chambered fine, they were too powerful for that gun. A couple of cartridges got stuck in the cylinder after they were fired. Managed to get them out, but I learned my lesson. ALWAYS CHECK THE LOADS!
i was at walmart the other day picking up some 7.62x39. this guy is standing there staring at the ammo case. the walmart employee comes over and says to the guy can i help you? he looks at him and say yeah can i get some of this 22 ammo. the employee says thats .223 not .22. the guy looked at the employee with such a stupid and uneducated face, then replied "oh well will it fit in a .22?"
Good god I hope the employee refused service
Meh, let natural selection take its course.

@@ViktoriousDead It establishes him being in the ammo/weapon section.
I gave a buddy of mine a Mosin Nagant and he called me up about a week later asking what was wrong with the gun, I asked him what he was talking about and he said the shells were splitting down the side when he shot it, I asked what type of rounds was he shooting and he said 7.62. I said read the full description on the box, he was shooting 7.62x51 instead of 7.62x54r while the gun would chamber the round and shoot it because the 51 is slightly smaller than the 54r it would split the case. I told him what he needed and told him to stop shooting the other rounds luckily he didn't get injured.
8x57 Mauser is NOT a .30 caliber but a .323 caliber round.. :D I'm sure Mr. hickok45 knows this quite well but a somekind of brain short cirquit came about.. :)
Yes I insist especially because this video was and is for complete gun ignorants just like you said and as you know as a gun person, firearms are anal in the very core the way weapons and ammunition are made just like hickok45 explained on the video. Exact measurements and anal tolerances. Me personally made a mistake once loading a custom, Mosin-actioned hunting rifle, with a Sako .308 barrel, with .311 caliber 200gr old Finnish military warloads. Full house charge. The rifle fed them just fine but the recoil was a bit stout to say the least and I couldn't hit a broad side of a barn. I checked the brass and noticed the primers were cratering heavily and stopped. I KNEW the difference of a .308 and a .311 bullets but the fact simply didn't cross my mind that the barrel actually said .308 as Mosin's are typically between .310 and .312 except Finnish models M27 and M28. So even the tiniest measurements in high power rifles can make a world of difference. So I admit, I am anal.. :D Btw. nice word that "anal"..xD
+StPaul76 It's just a point of reference, and since nobody this video is targeting would know that, would care, and since that knowledge would not impact them in any way, it's pretty much irrelevant.
thanks for sharing though.

What relevance would any numerical knowledge have in the internet where numbers are a matter of opinion anyway..? xD
StPaul76 It's only an opinion if you are wrong lol
You've got it! :D
I know they sell adapters that allow guns to shoot different ammos. For example with these adapters a 32 S&W can be shot out of a 30-06, a 7.62x25 can be shot out of 7.62x54r, and a .22lr can be shot out of a 223.
That thumbnail looks so awesome! Is there any bigger version? I want it as wallpaper. Thanks
+Fhilip79 I could take some pictures with that in mind; not sure how you could access them, though. Guess if I posted them on Facebook, you could get to them.
+hickok45Yea thanks! I realy love ammunition. But its still nothing against guns ;)

flickr.com is awesome for sharing Hi-Res pictures.
I used to work at Sturm, Ruger & Co.'s factory in Newport, NH and I guy I worked with there was telling me that he wanted to buy a Mini-30, which is 7.62x39, because you could also shoot
.308 Winchester (7.62x51) out of it. The best part was the person who told him that worked in the cell that made Mini's, he didn't believe me when I told him it wouldn't work so I told him to try it, since luckily for him it would never fit into the gun. All that from a guy that worked at a major gun manufacturer.

EVIL high capacity, he says later down the barrel, eeh, line
It specifically said 45-70 *+P* on the box, so no on the springfield
This is a very good video for new shooters, I however knew this but will share this with people it is a safety issue that you have properly addressed
"It becomes one with the chamber" - Hickok45
That's how his dad had "the talk" with him
@@leonidas14775 not the "birds and the bees" talk, but the "cartridge and the chamber" talk
Hatcher did experiments chambering 7.92x57mm into 1903 SPringfields. It will chamber, it will fire and it will usually take the gun apart like a grenade. BTW- the 8mm Mauser is a .323" dia bullet (.32 caliber), the .308 is a .308" dia. bullet (.30 caliber).
Can I put Glock boolits in a nindeen leben?
Oh ja. Make ser its glerk brand glerk boolets n noot hi poent brand glerk boolets tho
+no no lmfoa
+Kryptonyan you even did lmfao wrong.... did u put 5.56 in ur 223 again!!??
Bullets*
Colin Davis someone doesn't get the joke.
You were very wise to do such a video friend. I've seen and been asked by other shooters many of the same questions. If your not sure,.. ask !!!
17:43 watch the left hand side. There is a really creepy beast who sneaks in from the left hand side of screen. Watch at your own risk!
Nice
Fluff, just Fluff
Looks like a white tail
Nice PSA!...I can see all those questions have cost you a bit of sleep, a nice treatment of a subject that is at once a complicated and also a simple one.
Ah, I do love me a spot of hikock wit.
I mean... Some rounds that aren't meant to be interchangable can be. You can use .380 in a 9x18mm makerov. You can use 7.62x25mm tokerev in a broom handle chambered in 7.63 Mauser. As long as it doesn't generate more pressure than the chamber is meant for, you should be fine.
10:00 did anyone else see that dog
Yes he secretly goes there to smoke some pot
It is said that a 7.92x57 (8mm) will chamber in a US Model 1903 service rifle. American troops were said to have successfully done so during World War I-- until some of the '03 receivers failed. These incidents happened to coincide with with a production run of weak Springfield and Rock Island receivers.
So don't bore my .38 special to a .44 mag?
No that would be stupid. Make it a 500 magnum
30mm HVAP?
+littleike222 that one actually caught me. LOL
GLAD TO HAVE YOU BACK! I was pretty upset when I saw your channel went down
Always research your firearms before using them.
I have reloads that are 270 bullets on Winchester 30-06 cases that were necked down for 270. Which isn't a problem. They work well in my rifle, I've been making them for years. But, my dad didn't realize that. He looked at the rim around the primer and saw "win 30-06" and used the ammo in his 30-06. It didn't hurt him or his gun. But the moral of the story is don't trust ammo you didn't reload or buy yourself.
Watch these vids on .5 speed. He sounds drunk and it's amazing!
Put it on 1.25 he talks at a normal pace
Set it to 1.5x and he sounds like Clint.
Set it to .75 and it sounds like your drunk
Almost anyone at slow speed sounds like a drunk.
I tried it at 2X and he speaks clearly enough that I understand it
At 2x he sounds like Ben shapiro
I like hearing the technical information and details. I would watch that for 40 minutes!
