Maybe he is trying to deny us sustenance by shutting the fuck up.

He did expand on the lore of his lack of father figure in the last Q&A - he bought a Lee Enfield and had no frame of reference, didn't even know how to use it.

You'd think a man that is so history oriented would have the right confederate flag. This is the Flag of the CSA, the flag that you see most often is the battle flag of the army of northern Virginia. A+ on the grizzled civil war reenactor look though. spot on.

This was recorded while he was at Atun-Shei's house, where they did their live grifting superchats session, so it's no wonder he has the wrong flag; he's the "I fucking love science"-tier history channel for the Civil War.

Atun-Shei is something else man. He's genuinely History Channel tier with how bad his content is.

Let alone the fact that Atun has argued for tearing down confederate monuments but apparently has one in his house.

Or his SS and Hitler uniforms. He and Karl have something in common though.

If they’re torn down and no longer public property he can snatch them.

It sounded like he was obtusely referring to the Farms & Reddit at 4:00. He completely avoids the question & immediately deflects towards arguing with internet randos.

His "observations" at 6;00 about reproductions aren't wrong, but the cognitive dissonance set up by his wearing a yankee uniform in front of that flag is intentional. Along with that, he obliquely throws shade at Confederate stans, knowing full well that it's riling up right-wing twits, redditards & chan denizens. Probably because his subs are dead/dying.

I really like Dan Carlin's podcasts; only they're long as shit, and are structured more like his listeners are part of class & discussion, and he doesn't really have a political stance.

After that is Epic History TV, and his Napoleonic series. The personalities interested me more than the battles (although the videos on that are outstanding as well).

And finally, The Histocrat, which my young daughter also enjoys. The hand-drawn artwork caught her attention enough to start listening, because so much is CGI now.

Dan carlin's Common sense is his semi-political podcast. he soft endorsed biden because of muh stability. I REALLY want to hear his thoughts on that choice now lol. To be clear i do not think he is a liberal democrat, he is clearly a libertarian but his other episodes in the past revealed that he is very fearful that the two sides in the US are no longer capable of living together anymore and hinted that he though a civil war might be possible in the coming years. IIRC this was right after the baseball shooting.

Good to know, I haven't gotten that far yet; his lengthy podcasts have kinda slowed down my progress through them.

He put common sense on a hiatus because of the political situation became too much to comment on. Mostly the podcast was looking at current issues with his historian eye. I think that was what concerned him the most. IIRC He said that the congressional baseball shooting seemed to be committed by a crazy person but that historically its the crazy people on both sides that "break" first.

Gun-related reddit reminds me of how bad /k/ got.
Someone posts a picture of their great grandpappy's generic single shot 12 gauge and people come out of the woodwork to say it's a 30 year old H&R 20 gauge because their cousin's uncle's brother had one or it's a bubba'd Sharps Rifle or it's actually a double barrel since you got the angle of the photo wrong and one shot is dumb because who would have designed a single shot shotgun?

Need to get my great grandfather's single shot. Forgot the name, but last time I checked, it was old enough to be worth putting up on auction. I'll edit this post when I get around pulling it out. Also, single shots are fucking fun.

History channel WAS cool. I remember waking up early before school, eating cereal or oatmeal, and I'd watch them play late 90's and early 2000 reruns of mini documentaries about the wild west. I don't know how right they were but it was fucking dope. Got me into older firearms and steered me away from being a tacticool dumb fuck.

Those single shot shotguns were made by dozens of companies over the last ~160 years. it was the shotgun for the poorest of the poor or people who didnt like spending money. they are all essentially the same design. Henry makes the nicest ones available right now but turkish ones can be very very cheap. in 2019 before the current covid panic Hatfield single shot's were ~90 dollars at Walmart. its $140 now.

The availability of different caliber barrels was/is a big selling point, and I used single-shots for working up handloads, or shooting sketchy/questionable ammunition.

At one point I had a used Sears-branded single & it totally wouldn't have been anything special.... except it came with 8 barrels in foreign & domestic military calibers, including one odd belted magnum that I never messed with. It came in handy for finding out how old surplus or handloads behaved, before running it through something scarce & expensive.

You should use a Mauser Geha to test all that weird/questionable ammo you find. It'll be fine trust me.

In all seriousness the Geha is an interesting shotgun which was a Mauser modified G98 bored out to 20/16/12 guage after WW1 to try to maintain German industries during the Versailles Treaty.

A common practice. The Swedes did this with their surplus. Husqvarna Hunting rifles built on military actions are great rifles and 1860's era Rolling blocks converted into shotguns. Their guns are high quality and are very affordable due to their relatively unknowness on the US market.

The Geha is very interesting. It relies on the "safety lug" of the Mauser bolt rather than the true locking lugs, which were removed to accommodate the larger diameter of the shotshell.
I say "safety lug" because it's less of a third locking lug and more of an early warning that if you see wear on that part it's letting you know you don't have a tight lockup due to either receiver stretch or deformed locking lugs.

I'm of two minds on the safety of shooting it. It's on-par with the locking surface of your average pump action but with the added anxiety of the bolt being in front of your eye.
