General GunTuber thread

Once again, I don't think this is really their "fault", but they should at least recognize that they can have this effect.

It takes me back to when SinistralRifleman first posted here stating that people have mentioned our bullshitting - this is one thread of the many on an internet gossip site, how the fuck do people find us - and informed us that we supposedly have reach when we have barely two handfuls of posters in the thread as a metric by which to measure.
Yet the people with thousands of subscribers, at one point, failed to understand their engagement and influence, even after speaking with industry professionals.

I don't think that it's necessarily their "fault" when that kinda shit happens, but I think that pleading total ignorance on the matter is at least slightly disingenuous. Sure it is ultimately the individual's responsibility to decide whether or not to make the purchase and buying something because the internet man said it was good is kinda dumb, but on the other hand the internet man has a dedicated audience of hundreds of thousands who greatly respect his opinions and who have an interest in weird niche things that he covers. If the internet man says that these are hidden gems then you can be assured that the flood gates are now open.

Once again, I don't think this is really their "fault", but they should at least recognize that they can have this effect.

And even still, the speculative effect would be more obnoxious than people actually buying them to shoot. People watch these guntubers and jump on the wave to try and sell high.

Oh absolutely, maybe the gun in question is a great buy at $300 and that's what makes them a hidden gem, after the video comes out that price doubles or triples, that's what I'm talking about.

I found this place when I did a search on why Karl was acting like an asshole after the whole Floyd/Beer bug crap happened. I did enjoy his whole Wild West and wish he just stayed with that and not going over the edge like he has.

Karl's wild west vignettes were/are great, it's a shame that they're such a pain to produce and they garner such little attention compared to the rest of his stuff because I really did love that content.

15 minutes in and he is talking about apple juice vs orange juice what the fuck I'm too drunk to get this

True, I found them really nice over some of the other stuff he did.

Active Self Protection video Paul mentions

Guy's a sperg that thinks the science of shooting at a chunk of meat and fruit is not a repeatable medium. Ballistics gelatin being made in some asshole's bathtub truly has killed the spectacle and enjoyment of shooting homunculi.

Ballistic gelatin also isn't an accurate representation of a body, it's just a repeatable medium. But even then ballistics gel testing is in no way the end all be all of ballistics testing since it's way too consistent to accurately represent a body.

To add in on the carcano autism, you have to aim it specifically. For 100m and lower, you have to aim the front sight way down into the rear. Past that its still kinda picky on how you look down the sights. I have no idea how to explain it correctly but that front sight has to be low as fuck with the rear. Also yes most ammo made for it is shit, i had some prvi rounds from the 90s that were long nose at exactly .268". Carcanos have a .257" bore and .268" grooves. I struggled to get 3 cases out after shooting them, the 4th over-pressured and blew out the primer, popped the casing off the extractor and was totally stuck. I have pictures of the casing somewhere. I think the bullet expanded or maybe was miss-sized. I've had good luck with the modern .139" ammo prvi makes today and I have yet to get steiniels LN ammo due to the shortages they've had. I enjoy the rifle, and wish ammo was more available.

Just buy a 10mm and learn to double tap.

BJ tests serve a use but, it's not a be all end all. Sadly like most hobby sports etc people over think a single test or number for quality. Some idiots think 500 Horse power is a better car, than 400 no matter.

I'm in camp hitting > math. a 32 ACP is way more dangerous into you than missing a 44 mag.

Bullet to body is the most chaotic and unpredictable situation anyone could investigate. A round that makes swirls and melon-sized cavities in gel could just as easily disintegrate or glance and ricochet off of bone, and enough people - more likely to be hunters - will tell you they've found bullets fully intact when they have been proven to mushroom in gel.
One thing to remember is that the ASP guy is a salesman/"trainer" so he's obligated to get mad at people dunking on gimmick ammunition.

That's the sort of thing I mean when I'm saying that BG tests really don't mean all that much and should never be taken as a be-all-end-all test. Honestly the guy who figures out how to ethically test on live animals and not get bruh'd by the algorithm/TOS is gonna be the guy with the best ballistics tests on youtube.

That Active Self Protection video was well over a year old. What prompted Paul to sperg about it now?

Like most unprompted Paul Harrell videos, autism.

Seriously, though: either someone linked it to him for the first time recently, or he got tired of people finding the video and linking it to him. Paul definitely strikes me as the kind of guy to wildly overreact when he runs out of patience.

If it was DMs he may have responded to the DMs but when it didn't slow down he figured it was time for a PSA and we're only catching him after god knows how long and his patience is well and truly at it's end. He could also just have a really nasty temper, I've never met the guy.

Pretty much. I have no idea on whether or not he has a temper, but considering his videos if he were in the farms he'd be the kind of poster who would normally keep things brief but on occasion writes an entire essay about a single sentence he disagreed with.
