Forgotten Weapons

@yo1954111 Guess it's an unexpected @jjreeves cross over too

@ForgotWeapons That's a rally quote

Unexpected gun and dive channel crossover: "when you want to win, hire a Finn".

@UpdatingOnRome Hi - this is a clip from one of my videos, perhaps you would be good enough to include the link in your post? youtu.be/GPC7KiYDshw

Damn lmao.

KILL THEM ALL WITH FIRE

Evening shower thought: Spinning drum up to psychosis inducing speeds with curved tube running from base/hub to the outer rim. Microcontroller manages projectile release.....Chaos ensues. (could even maglev the projectile down the tube if you're feeling frisky). Calling on my weapon autist moots: @Wild_Arms_RandD @actualjib And lighting a candle for the one and only gun jesus himself @ForgotWeapons. Someone has done this right?

@Rebels_Raiders LAPD picks up the trail when Waingro uses his own credit card to order red anodized parts delivered to the depository.

Movie Pitch: HEAT, but gun culture 3.0 The crew doesn’t rob the bank. Instead, De Niro and Val Kilmer spend 2.5 hours in a garage arguing over their rifle setups. Al Pacino realizes they will never actually leave the house, so he spends the rest of the movie catfishing them as an anime waifu to sell them limited edition morale patches.

@RyanMcbeth @AJSovine But the same designation was also used by the Air Force in the 60s for the XM-177, the original Colt carbine version of the M16. So if you search for "GAU-5/A" you will find references to both, and they are not the same gun.

@RyanMcbeth @AJSovine Now I really wish I'd done a video on the modern GAU-5/A...but FYI for folks, the designation has been used twice. The current aircrew survival gun is basically a shortened M4 with a detachable barrel and folding grip for stowage. (con't)

@thefrog1192 Yes, if I knew anyone there.

「言語の壁なく日本中の人がここにいるようですが、豊和工業と関係のある方で、印刷物に使用できる64式小銃と89式小銃の非常に質の高いプロの写真を入手できる方はいらっしゃいますか?」 豊和工業に直接聞いたほうがいいんじゃないかな……

@y9c9cpJ2X8Wx6ls @hyperdouraku I need to contract for new photos that meet the requirements we have for using in print - not licensing existing photos (unfortunately; that would definitely be easier).

@ForgotWeapons For the Type64, this article has a very nice photo. motor-fan.jp/article/61101/ Unfortunately the author died in 2023, so I don't know who you would ask for the rights. For the Type89, @hyperdouraku hyperdouraku.com/colum/type89/ has a full article with descriptions and a lot of pictures.

Now that we appear to have all of Japan here without a language barrier, is there anyone with ties to Howa who might be able to get me really good professional photos of the Type 64 and Type 89 rifles to use in print?

@RickyLaFleurRX7 I need the real thing, not Airsoft.

@ForgotWeapons Gotcha 😏

Very non-professional-quality photo for attention ;)

@DuncanDoughnout @hoplopfheil 1) Yes, the same gun. 2) I said it ran without any problems, it was nice to have a fully ambi bullpup, and only gassed me out a bit. That's "glazing" now?

@hoplopfheil @ForgotWeapons Is that not the same gat Ian glazed in his recent night vision shoot-em-up video?

This is now officially the worst gun I have ever shot

@Tyler94Ed @Cpt_TAKAHASHI I only need one of each, really.

@Cpt_TAKAHASHI Yes, and either Brandon Herrera or Ian Mcollum would buy all of them.

If Howa's Type 64 and Type 89 rifles were put up for sale in the US after the export ban was lifted, would there be a bidding war with stacks of cash going on at auction?

@_Gun_Samurai @PhillyCh3zSt3ak There's only one good reference I am aware of in English; Shigeo Sugawa's book. I would be very interested in any other material you can recommend.

@ForgotWeapons @PhillyCh3zSt3ak Yeah he got a few things wrong 😅

In the workshop. As a shooting team we spend more time maintaining our guns than we do shooting them.

@_Gun_Samurai We've got to get Ian (Gun Jesus) of @ForgotWeapons out there to do an in-depth documentation of one of those beautiful rifles

I don't know what the solution to this is, but people treating AI bots as omniscient oracles is extremely dangerous.

It's one thing when people fabricate fake historical photos with AI because they put zero value on truth instead of clicks. But it's another whole issue when people depend on AI to tell them if things are real. AI does not know. Here is Grok insisting the real image is fake.
