Highland Warriors, at the Canadian War Museum
bit.ly/2S7cjuZ
From the fierce Gaelic warriors of medieval Scotland to the proud traditions of Canada’s Highland regiments today, trace the history and culture of an enduring military icon.
In this video I talk about swords and other things I've encountered over the years that have failed to impress. Not all of these were inherently bad. Sometimes it was bad lack with an unusually negative personal experience (a lemon, perhaps?), sometimes it was something that simply didn't live up to my expectations for one reason or another. Either way I hope you find this entertaining. :)

Jack Churchill will forever be one of the most hilarious, and well-deserved of receiving praise soldiers I've ever come across. The man had courage very few men are able to match. I mean, storming entrenched MG42s with a basket-hilt broadsword, a longbow and bagpipes? And actually being effective? He's honestly legendary.

Never take tall tales like that from war times too seriously. You have to consider that everybody in the information chain had a interest in making stuff sound better than it was. The soldiers wanted to be heroes. The commanding officers and the politicians wanted to boost morale. The press wanted to sell newspapers. And anyone passing on the story after the war wanted to be respectful of their heroes or was raised believing the stories. There are tons of widely accepted war stories that make absolutely no sense when you apply any scrutiny to them and this is one of them.

Sorry folks, apparently my editing software has imploded... Vegas crashed so many times during the editing process and I had to re-render something like 6 times because I kept catching missing parts that were somehow chopped off despite being there in the edited file. And now I find that the final version has yet ANOTHER missing section (at 08:04). >_< I give up, this video is officially cursed. It is what it is now. -_- Does anyone have recommendations for better editing software? Might look into Premiere Pro, although depending on how time-consuming it is, having to relearn everything may be a problem.

Great video as usual. This is only really relevant to the very beginning, but I'm a Jack Churchill nerd, so I thought I'd clear up a couple of things. 1). He was not Scottish. He was English, though born in Ceylon. He was, however, undoubtedly a Scotophile. 2). He only joined the Seaforth Highlanders after WWII in 1946. All his previous military service was in the Manchester Regiment (technically the commandos, but as they were a temporary wartime unit, the men remained with their original regiments on paper). 3). The picture you used when you mentioned bagpipes is not Churchill. That's a screenshot from the film The Longest Day, and features Pipe Major Leslie de Laspee playing the role of Bill Millin, who skirled his way up the beaches at the Normandy landings as the piper of Lord Lovat. Churchill himself wasn't a dedicated piper, he merely brought his pipes with him for the hell of it. 4). The Fleming in his name is debatable. All his military papers (Sandhust documents, army lists, etc.) omit Fleming, as does at least one of the books written by his brother (I can't remember the others). There are, however, various reliable sources that do have Fleming in his name. This is less a correction, more an interesting point.

@mjfleming319 3 жыл бұрын

If he was half as awesome as they say he was, the Fleming in his name is certainly authentic.

@user-et8vm9cc3t 3 жыл бұрын

It is fascinating that it is not the fact that he wore a sabre in combat or killed a German Feldwebel with a longbow that are discussed here, but such menial technicalities such as the exact regiment he was in or why he played bagpipes. Amazing. Still, thanks for the info.

@ProjectSeventy 3 жыл бұрын

You are certainly welcome. I like to consider pedantry an art form. Speaking of, there are a few things to mention in regards to your comment, and my original comment - there is always more to learn. Firstly, he wore a basket-hilted broadsword in combat in the second world war. During his prior military service, there is a picture of him wearing a sabre, but it is unknown whether or not he carried this during service in the Burma rebellion. Secondly, it has come to my attention that at present, the weight of evidence is against him killing anyone with his longbow. The only primary account is his own, in which he denies it. The war diary for the 4th Infantry Brigade does emphatically refer to some bow-related incident in the Saar, but gives no specifics, and it doesn't actually seem that Churchill was in the Saar during the war. It was certainly widely believed contemporaneously that the event happened, evidenced by the amount of people who have mentioned that it happened, but there are no accounts I am aware of from anyone who was actually present. The primary account of the event comes form Donald Featherstone's 'Bowmen of England', which does not deign to cite a source. Thirdly, the answer to the Fleming debate. Fleming was not in his name by birth, but it was adopted by him at some time during his adult life, before the second world war. It is unknown if he ever had it officially changed.

Amazing sponsor, mate! That’s really impressive- what an honor! I remember that Fëanor sword- it was heartbreaking to hear how bad it actually was. For what it represented, and what it was meant to be, it was just so disappointing- it made me sad. And I have to say- I appreciate you being honest about your relationship with Glock. While most people are afraid to speak their true opinions when everyone else is in opposition to it, it’s important to be honest, and it shows courage and character when you do. Especially in such a public arena. I never liked Glocks, and had a lot of disdain and abuse thrown my way when I said so. I am a diehard Sig Sauer shooter, and will always sing their well-deserved praises. Glocks feel cheap and plastic-ky to me- I never became comfortable with the trigger safety, grip shape, or slide solidity- it always felt as if it were about to be shaken apart. Thanks for giving your honest opinions.

A 10mm wins more. :D

Glocks can be fussy about their ammo they like to feed. I have a G19 and it fucking hates alluminum casings. one in every five or so shots will fail to load the round if I am using alluminum. Anything else it will feed with litterally no issue. Shot about 600 rounds through it and the only time it failed to feed was with the cheap ammo

@seandlax9 3 жыл бұрын

@@sebastianriz4703 That's not the Glock. That's the actual casing causing the problem and it will do so in other firearms. Brass is the preference because it expands better than aluminum and steel and creates a seal so you aren't losing gas and therefore pressure+velocity. Basically you are losing back pressure with the aluminum casing which is causing the slide to not function the way it should.

The survival hatchet still has potential; perhaps make the knive bit slightly longer, with a diffent profile, and grind ... Likewise the axe bit could again would, with a slight tweak to the grind. Another tweak is what metal it was made up off; perhaps the reason why it failed was (perhaps ... maybe ...) poor edge retention, such as it it was made of D2, or similar, it coulda been better. Likewise -- and this I am pulling outta my own butt -- forge-welding 1080, 1094, and 15N20, but skipping the acid etch stage, would produce a 'clean-looking' blade, but with the associated toughness and edge-retention that -- I think -- blades made that way have. Also, and again, this maybe out if my butt again, but prototypes often have to go through mutiple iterations before was can be considered 'successful' ... I am sure there are knife makers out there whom will take one look at the design, see the potentials, and the flaws, and would be willing/able, to iron out (pun intended ...) the problems you had to reach the tool you imagined ... Likewise, there is a sword I have in mind, that has the blade, and edge, geometry of a side-sword, but has the length, guard, grip, and pommel, of a small-sword, purely because, at 5'2", I would imagine carrying a long-ish sword would be rather awkward, especially as my hips have gotten bad in old age ... trouble is, I know it will take a decent swordsmith to pull it off, as designing something is one thing; building the bloody thing is very much another ...

@cbyrne9703 5 жыл бұрын

If the knife part had a sheath it would allow you to hold it lower down which should make it easier to use as a hatchet. The sheath itself might be suitable for storing a flint stick or something akin to the mechanism of a flint lighter at the end so it could help with starting a fire and maybe wrapped with cord that could be unraveled if needed. And of course it would also be helpful as it would give you something to attach a loop to so you could hang the thing from a belt or put it around your wrist.

For the G34 switching to an aftermarket barrel has helped with the failure to feed issue with the few I have worked on with that problem. The barrel/slide geometry during the compression of the recoil spring can sometimes be the culprit.

My first suspicion regarding the Glock would be the caliber of the ammo. The Glock was originally designed for 9x19 mm Parabellum rounds. And when you have a weapon development history like that, having the model chambered in a different caliber is almost always invariably an afterthought, which might create a decreased function.

Nose diving in Glocks is usually indicative of old or weak magazine springs. I’ve had it happen in a G19, which is a known workhorse. A good friend of mine was a huge glocktard and was in shock to see an otherwise pristine 9mm model failing. Switched to magpul mags and the problems went away.

Here's a weapon that won't disappoint - the sharpened stick-spear! Just find a straight sapling, or branch, that's 1 to 2 inches thick, and anywheres from five to ten feet long, cut it down/off, figure out how long you want it, shorten it, and then sharpen it. Nothing fancy, and while I doubt it will do any good against someone wearing armor or an exceptionally angry bear/boar, you still have something that's got a point that can poke someone's eyes out!

@@CMG78 to be honest, I never fired an other pistol than an usp (P8) but as far as my experience with the P8 goes (that's the military variant of the USP used by the German military) it's pretty reliable. I can't remember that I saw one jam on a fellow recruit during my basic training and with so many first time shooters around minor "errors" like limpwristing or not holding it perfectly straight are to be expected. Also the weapons used in basic training units are probably heavily used, not exactly treated gently, parts might end up on the ground next to the mat used for disassembly drills rather that on the mat at times and during the very first drills without ammo or with dummy rounds magazines are dropped constantly. None of the superiors ever complained about the weapon and its easy to disable and reasamble. I also like it's look and the safety and decocking lever system on it (if you look it up on Wikipedia it's the variant 1 or 2).
