How many battles of the Isonzo River did he participate in?

@@Critical_Hit 5 if I recall correctly before he was wounded and sent home. He missed the breakthrough and the fall, thankfully

@@Jungles_of_Lustria this is one of the things I love watching videos of both WWs, hearing personal stories

@@Jungles_of_Lustria do you remember if it was the first 5, or more toward the latter end of the engagements?

@@thefuzzysheep3859 if I remember his stories correctly it would be from the 3rd to the 9th battles of the izonzo

Yeah, that's a keeper

Next action movie that comes out there'd better be a dude going postal while screaming SUCH KINESTHETIC JOY

yes

Seconded

I would buy that

Austrian Western is a vague description, I would call it a Drama/Revenge movie with the style of a western which takes place in the Austrian alps in the 1890s. But yeah I would also recommend watching it, especially if you're a gun nerd, there are some good (and to my astonishment somewhat technical) scenes.

Wait not everyone pronounces it that way ?

I thought _wunderbears_ were extinct...😊

That's actually a swear word in Quebec, lol

@@simoncleret Tabernac is the swear not tabernacle.

@@KeyserSoze23 that's just the difference between written vs spoken French.

Pardon my french

As someone who not has English as first language, what does "tabernacle" mean?

They are made off good materials. They will basically last forever if stored correctly. There are firearms from the 1500's that are still fully functional.

@@WhattAreYouSaying Also, to be fair, modern weapons have to accommodate for a hell of a lot more chamber pressure and have more complicated moving parts than the Werndl or the Martini-Henry. Once you get to the bolt actions, so many years tend to make them degrade faster.

@@MagizardInternet That is very true, but that depends on a lot of factors. Like storage, lubricants and so on. The two oldest bolt action rifles I have is an Italian Vetterli-Vitali M1870/87. It is made in 1887, it is as good as new. I also have a Steyr Kropatscheck rifle made in 1886, it is also as good as new. Those are the oldest bolt action rifles I have. The oldest gun I have is a Norwegian Kongsberg musket from 1769. Even that one works. It's quite remarkable when you think about their age. In 100 years from now, I don't think I would trust a modern gun like an AR-15 or a Glock. But I'm sure those rifles from the 1800's would still work perfectly in 100 years from now, even the old muzzleloaders.

@@WhattAreYouSaying I definitely agree. The principle of longevity was also more prominent in those days. If I remember correctly, it's entirely possible for AKs to live past 50 years or more using cosmoline storage. Although, I think it may even be possible with other guns.

​@@MagizardInternet Yes, the cosmoline thing is very effective. I have seen SKS rifles that has been soaking in cosmoline since the 1950's, just clean the rifle and they are good to go. Cosmoline is a very effective method to preserve a gun over time. I collect firearms from mostly WW1 and WW2, I have around 40-45 different guns. Many of them are from WW1 or older, 90% of them are in good condition. Some of them are a little bit rusty and dirty because of bad storage, but they still work. I live in Norway and I have a Krag Jørgensen rifle that was buried under ground during WW2, to hide it from the Germans. It was buried for 5 years. Apparently it was never cleaned after the war...I cleaned it last week, it was a total mess of 80 year old dirt and oil. Had to take everything apart. Laid the rifle and it's parts in hot water in the bathtub for several hours, then I soaked it in WD-40 several times and washed it off. I got it clean and the rifle still works. It has some deep pitting on it, on the outside, but nothing serious.

The rolling block was a better design, IMHO This seems closer to a Snider than a Remington Roller

@@ifitsfreeitsforme1852 Snider is more of a sideways trapdoor

@@TenaciousTrilobite Except for the way the breechblock swings open . The Snider and this are almost identical

@@ifitsfreeitsforme1852 That’s why I said “sideways” both times.

@@TenaciousTrilobite OK, understand

And with a stick shift like a baseball bat in a Home Depot bucket of peanut butter? Heck yeah it is

Lucky. How much did you get it for? I'd love to get one, but it have rechambered for 8mm or something so ammo is findable

@@antiquatedideas1107 $900ish. Rechambering is Haram though.

@@Gunsbeerfreedom87 hahaha, yeah it is. Good luck finding 11mm besides handloading

@@antiquatedideas1107 That's half the fun of collecting old guns is making the ammo for them.

@@Gunsbeerfreedom87 True, but unfortunately I am limited on space and can't. Otherwise I'd have made a whole business out of it haha

Same here, I use it all the time. Takes forever to reload, but it is worth it. It's the rifle in the game I have highest accuracy with, 68%.

The ejection isnt spring powered. It is the over-center stroke. You just hit it harder.

It should over travel and hit the ejector/extractor under its own momentum and kick the case right out before returning to neutral. That’s what mine did.

Yeah, I did a double take there, too!

If you can stuff a cartridge in you don't need to clean it, Unlike muzzleloaders with a clean chamber you dont need to wory about fouling until its literally impossible to get the ammo in the chamber. or after each range trip

You are likely thinking of the carbine / gasser round.
