Lol glad to see people are still happy to see them going up. I guess I best start focusing on a few more of my projects so I can finish them and get them on video.
@@Stray03 you're really one of the only channels that covers how these things actually work in depth, sure historical military equipment channels exist but they either don't tear down the equipment or just explain on paper how it worked. it's far more interesting to see someone actually physically have the equipment and then also be brave enough to take it apart and explain the mechanics and engineering. I guess you do have a somewhat niche corner of TH-cam but important historically and entertaining none the less, good luck with your projects man
@notthecia4486 thanks. Yeah I find al lot of the channels want to focus on the usage of the system, and the people using them rather than how they work. Getting "technical" bores people which, when channels create content for money, it doesn't get enough interest to fill the bank.
@@Stray03 oh pretty good man I can't complain. Just staying busy with life. I've actually been thinking about starting to collect old antiques and devices as a hobby too. I've been influenced by your channel haha.
Yup I know how you feel. I don't make videos often because work and vehicles keep me busy, and the energy just isn't there. Hopefully with a schedule change that might change. Lol expect to spend a bunch of money and be considered crazy by your friends. Doesn't matter though, worth it.
@@Stray03 lol yeah I am usually very selective when I tell people my hobbies. Even saying you own a gun nowadays is enough to get you in trouble in some places. Speaking of which I'd say my first adventure into older devices/firearms would be a pristine mosin nagant that was gifted to me aswell as one of your videos that was posted some time ago. I appreciate you recording this stuff by the way man I just find it all incredibly interesting
@flamegator3251 was my main goal when starting the channel. Found that the community was buying up stuff and leaving it on a shelf or in a safe to gather dust instead of sharing it with people who don't usually get a chance to see the things except in museums behind glass. Hope I keep being able to keep everyone interested in this stuff.
As someone interested in preety much everything mechanical thank you for this video! Firearms are my favorite ,especially pre ww2 and ww2.Back then everything needed to be made manually ,not a single cnc machine in sight.Yet its amazing how they made complicated things with nothing but pen and paper and brilliant minds .
@@Stray03 Indeed, and I comment often on X, besides having all his books and any other info I could find. You, Stray, are a treasure to inert ord studies!
@chiphailstone589 yeah I bought 2 of his books also. Thanks for the kind words. There are a bunch of people with cool ordnance out there that sadly don't share it with people. Lots of things that should be taught about sit hidden away.
Thanks, I appreciate it even though there are a bunch of people much better than I am at explaining on camera. I'll have to start putting more effort into not rambling on.
Yeah it is pretty sad when educational things get removed but you can see videos of someone harassing people on the street and then calling it a "prank" as though it was OK after that.
The sight being part of the safety mechanism is clever. However having to press the fire button as part of the disarm process is not. Is there anything interesting in the head? Assuming it's a shaped charge is there any kind of detonator on the tip or how does it go off when striking a target?
Yeah I'm guessing it could cause accidental firings if they are not paying attention. I have a video on the fuze for it which explains how that works it is behind the explosive and shaped charge.
No purely gas formed by the burning powder. Had they used counterweight they could have used less powder, like a few of the systems out there including the improvised weapon the "PRIG".
Every video is a masterpiece and worth learning
Thank you.
Honey wake up, stray03 posted a new video

Yeah they designed with sliderules and pencils. Incredible to see.

Lol with any luck they won't but who knows now a days with their BS
@@Stray03 on god brother… I had posted a video of my robuck &sears shotgun and I got flagged for “self harm encouragement”
Lol they will try anything to give a reason.
@@Stray03 they tried to do it with a video of my truck because some one got mad it’s not a Chevy
Thank you, Thank You, Thank you, Stray03! Forever and always interested in all things Panzerfaust.
Glad you liked it, have you watched the videos from wild R&D? The guy who makes live models of recoilless weapons?

TH-cam took one of my videos down for showing patent drawings. Crazy.

Did the recoilless mechanism have any sort of counter-weight shot out the back?
No purely gas formed by the burning powder. Had they used counterweight they could have used less powder, like a few of the systems out there including the improvised weapon the "PRIG".
👍
