Spencer lived till 1922!?! So as a boy he lived in a world of muzzleloading muskets and lived to see Browning's machine guns. Wow. From single shots to many, many shots.

@xXGatekeeper49Xx

Early gang all here?

@SasoriZert

I call all Hunt Showdown players to this masterpiece of a video 😍

@Tornado1861

I can't believe the shotgun series is finally starting!

@AbananaPEEl

I hate to say it but you did turn me on to Ballistol. Though you were more the straw on the back. Other channels built it up before yall came along, such as cap n ball and Bloke. Also sorry for unsubbing a few months back from the patreon. Lost my card linked to it. As an apology, I upped my sub by 5 :)

@remko1238

Being 60 i wonder if i’ll still being around enjoying this channel when the Stengun shows up

@ralphmills7322

Had to snicker when Othais and Mae talked on the problem on how to capture the clay hits for the video. I remembered on the DVD of the 2003 film "Second Hand Lions" in the behind the scene extras they told of the problem in the scene where Micheal Caine and Robert Duvall was suppose to shoot corn cobs out of the sky. Well corn cobs don't break when hit with shotgun pellets, so they had to rig the corn cobs with explosives to blow up dramatically to save the scene.

Wow! The Hunt Showdown (Spectre 1886) Says Hello!!

@wilhelm_iron2359

Awesome! I just inherited a Marlin Model No 30- G. Neither I nor anyone else knows a thing about them, so these episodes will be a personal help even beyond the usual entertainment!

@clazy8

Bruno is a great name for the mysterious entity entrusted with production magic.

@sokmalinowy6038

You must be reading my mind. A week ago or so i became interested in Spencer's work and found a wonderful 3-part article, and now THIS? you are spoiling me.

@pilgrimm23

Bruno's animation: The Complexity of Simplicity. Well done gang

@pavelvtyurin267

YES, finally a comprehensive documentary about a firearm much anticipated. Thank you C&Rsenal, you are the best

@VikOlliver

I got invited to a black powder shoot. Hadn't done it before, but Othias showed how Ballistol can clean my shiny "Fairy Dust" revolvers, so I gave it a go and enjoyed. I'm still not a regular BP shooter, but I'm still using the Ballistol. Thanks Othias!

@sangomasmith

I'm another one who found Ballistol through this channel, and have been using it for my muzzleloaders. It works wonderfully at keeping out rust, and doesn't seem to gum up like some other commercial gun oils.
