Yeah that is something that I can't wait for personally, especially all the guys who are gonna buy bubba'd Arisakas for six bills and then spend another six bills returning them to their as-issued state.

I can't wait to see spergs arguing over whether or not to restore the defaced imperial chrysanthemum. Because you can just bet someone will want to restore it.

Should we do a group buy on chrysanthemum punches? We could be like that asshole in the 70s that made some fake SS rune punches and stamped every WWII gun he could get his hands on.

As funny as that would be I don't actually care that much.

That is until Ian rewrites his dad's book and then all his fanboys will buy every non-bubba'd Arisaka on gunbroker.

Well there's that argument about guntubers influencing the market again.
I think Othais and Ian both have denied rocking the boat or at least plead ignorance on helping the market "correct itself" when they present a five-page dissertation on how a particular firearm is not actually dangerous junk while firing it in the same breath. Knowledge is all well and good until you introduce it to a fanbase that's been jerked around by time/supply-limited activities elsewhere in media, and, milsurp aside, parasocial relationships through gun purchases are a proven thing(see the WWSD saga).

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.

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.

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.

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.
