I find the Metal Gear Solid story fascinating, never really played it or got into it though. I see the references everywhere, the black sunglasses face in the darkness is so many people's here's pfp. Also the references of solid "x" liquid"x" like with Chris Chan: Solid Chris and Liquid Chris Dont know where the lore should have me start.
Dude the totally disinterested look while shooting the handguns was perfect. Absolutely summed up the teen angst of the grunge Era. "Everything sucks even shooting this gun is boring" fucking brilliant.
And before you say it yes disinterested is more commonly used to mean unbiased, the words are basically interchangeable and the context is what implies the meaning.
It's filmed. There are two new product releases next week, then a video that we need to run before NRAAM, then NRAAM. I'll try to get it live before NRAAM but it might be too tight a squeeze.
"This is SUPPOSED to be a stealth mission" Sounds a lot like "stealth IS an option for this mission" and that sounds a lot like "stealth is optional for this mission" Which sounds a lot like dual P90s running down the complex.
I used play games that had stealth options like this: I'd sneak past everybody then start shooting on the last guard, then work my way back to the beginning of the mission murdering everybody I avoided. If you don't turn the gravity up to a grillion you'll never beat Piccolo, Goku!
@@chrisloUSA Yeah that was the plan, but more gun control came up so I decided to wait on any NFA items. unfortunately it does look pretty ridiculous with the 16” barrel.
You must have had some horrible girlfriends in that decade. I still dream of them now and again. They're great dreams, the kind I don't like to wake from.
SO MUCH nostalgia in this video. No joke one of the best and funniest gun videos I have ever seen. This is why James is one of my favorite RUclips gun guys.
Top 5 things I liked about this video. 1. 0:36 Ewww drops 1911 had me dieing. 2. James singing over the glock ad was FAF 3. 3:07 HK mag loaded backwards was a nice touch. 4. James: "small package with a big punch" Pick up line maybe? 5. The real Solid snake is in James shorts
Someone else has already pointed it out, but the backwards round in the USP is gold, James! Fucking. Gold! Theres tons of little tiny [amazing] details in this video, but the backwards round is easily my favorite. So, so good. Perfection.
The 80’s were rad, but this was like a nostalgia time bomb. I honestly thought number one was going to be the Glock 26. I may be disappointed, but I can’t be mad at it. I mean after all, James can’t be wrong.
Dude your sense of humor and your skits are truly underrated you are the man you are so hilarious and I appreciate that I love the fact that you don't take yourself too serious and you're very knowledgeable
If you make it through the filming of the video with only headshots you unlock the tiger skin man purse. It makes you invisible to guard dogs and changes your character's in-game voice actor to a set of bonus lines recorded by famous rapper Tone Loc. That's a solid upgrade, James. Solid!
Solid Snake Reeves killed the intro! Grunge James and Slash James are the cherries on top. Great list. Figured Glock would be at the top, surprised to see Hi-Point up there. Loved all the 90's references & miss the age of the pager & pay phones. . .
James and TFB TV, I just want to say that you have absolutely come into your prime the last year or so and the ceiling just keeps getting raised! I feel like the Nike ad campaign with Lebron a few years back is very relevant. "We are all witnesses." In this case we are all witnesses to great content and James' painfully short shorts. Seriously though, the whole vibe - the level snark of without compromising on the quality of the information - and all of it flowing naturally and not feeling forced or "scripted" in the sense that James seems to just be being himself and unfiltered in the way guys are with their friends. It is very refreshing in the "corporatized" era of RUclips when being ad-friendly and sanitized has become the standard. So yea, keep doing you and I look forward for the things to come!
Fortunately (and surprisingly), HK still makes the USP (at least the Compact version). I was thrilled to find and buy a new USP-C 9mm in one of my local gun shops a month ago. It instantly became my, "If I could only keep one gun" gun. By the way, the USP was also used by the Tom Cruise character in "Collateral" and I'm told by Jack Bauer in 24 (but I think that's 2000's).
Back as a junior gun guy I wanted a USP in .45ACP, but the pre-ban high cap magazines where 150.00+ when you could find them. So I bought a Kimber 1911, before buying one was a lemon gun roulette game with 5 out of 6 chambers loaded. Thanks for the trip down memory lane James!
@@briankern6644 You know, I've heard of several people having issues with Kimbers but I haven't had a single issue with any that I've owned. I've had a GI stainless, Carry Pro, Ultra Ten, Ultra CDP, And Eclipse ultra. Now, I did have issues with certain magazines and a couple kinds of ammo with the Ultra models because of the feed angle. But I've never had a breakage or failure aside from mags and ammo.
@@DrewishAF Their QC seems to inconsistent. I've had friends with them that had reliable 1911's like mine, or the worst lemons that had multiple trips back to Kimber. WHEN Kimbers are good they are great, bit when you find a lemon they are terrible. I'm glad all of your work.
The 90s references were coming fast and it's much appreciated. Love the work put into this video. The Hi Point C9 is also the first commercial American made polymer frame, striker fired pistol. The more you know.

TWO costume changes in one video? We're being spoiled, and I love it. The breadth of '90s references in this video was awesome. Quality content. I'm surprised I missed that 5.7x28mm was NATO standardized. A big story that didn't get much talk on the gun channels. So affordable 5.7x28mm ammo will probably be available to us civilians in a decade or two!
God I f****** love you man. I literally just got my wife to start watching Stargate, AND the original X-Men series. Great list, and I totally thought that was Slash for the first two seconds.
Ok. I take it all back. James has lost his motherfucking MIND with that #1 choice. Someone call Clint Smith and break the news that his protege is officially off the rails.
Literally my newest favorite channel…80’s baby, 90’s kid so this is a nostalgia magic school bus trip into the gun world. 💥 f**kin brilliant solid snake and slash lol
Wasn't the first Rainbow six game released in 98 or something? That game had the USP as the sidearm you'd start with also. That game and the JG sales ads in Shotfun News are what got me into guns in the early 2000s.
The static throughout the video had me wanting to go punch my VCR. And the 90s references n movie clips were fucking golden! Please don't ever leave us james.
Thank you James for not putting a Glock on this list, I loved the comment on the Beretta 92fs and the Steyr Aug, I was one of those people that mentioned the 92fs should've been on the 80s list
James: "I'm not some huge fucking nerd."
Also James: "Dude, we should open the video with me cosplaying as Solid Snake "
He only says that shit to confuse the normies.
On a funny side note, Autocorrect on my phone changes normies to Mormons

Snake has never been that fly before
It's actually..
Pretty good
I'm guessing he didn't have to buy that outfit for the video..
I see a movie in the future!
I’m sure David Hayter would approve.
The throwback to the HK ad with the ammo loaded backwards in the mag did not go unnoticed.
I still can’t believe you put Hi-Point all over that perfectly good pond mud.
Yup. I was ready to be pissy, but you can't argue with facts.
Disgusting smearing that disgusting thing all over those slimy frogs, slugs and dead fish. It just isn’t right.
pffft. so many people who cannot get past "it ain't sexy enough..." and understand they are legit and reliable guns.
Yeah, a real HK mention is nothing without the backwards cartridges at 3:15. I see you, TFB. Good one
I was so distracted by laughing at the backwards cartridge I missed what James was saying and had to rewatch it. Twice.
Noticed it immediately myself, what's the story? Either it's just funny on its own (which it is) or I'm missing some bit of context.
@@reshpeck A while back HK published a photo of the iconic USP and the cartridge was loaded backwards in the magazine.

We all liked Stargate in the 90s and early 2000s - James may have thought it was lame, but then he likes the Hi-Point.
Not gonna lie, I never thought I'd look back at the 90's with nostalgia
Really? Man i do it almost daily.
I bask in it daily between music, games, and movies.
Man I would have been awesome to be alive during the 80s and 90s before these communist and gays took everything over.
You must have had some horrible girlfriends in that decade. I still dream of them now and again. They're great dreams, the kind I don't like to wake from.
Why didn't he cover Courtney Love's shotgun?
No presentation of the HK USP is complete without the magazine loaded backwards, nice.
I literally LOL'd and yelled "you son of a bitch", before pausing the vid to look for a comment like this.
What's that Leonardo DiCaprio meme? I did that
DAMNIT. I definitely didn’t see this comment before I also commented 🤣😂
SO MUCH nostalgia in this video. No joke one of the best and funniest gun videos I have ever seen. This is why James is one of my favorite RUclips gun guys.

@@c3bhm was wondering if anyone else caught that!
Had to give a thumbs up after I spat my drink out when I saw James dressed as Slash! 😂
1. Why did James look that solid as Snake…
2. This right here. This is why I pay for that patreon right here. Better than any onlyfans sub out here.

Thank you for loading the mag backwards for the usp HK would be proud
Beretta 92 was the most popular 90s pistol. Every actionhero had one, both in movies and videogames. It was all over the place!! Love it!
this.
The backwards round in the USP mag floored me 😂
The attention to detail is amazing
Of all the little details in here, this is easily the best of them.
Its perfect!
This. So good
3:08 for those of us that missed it the first time. I wen't back. I'll never miss HK trolling.
I caught that and immediately thought "The fuck???". Hahaha
"Stargate" - The final door I close on my way to Amanda Tapping and NIrvana....lolololol
9:28 that chamber flame might be the most 90’s shot in this whole video. So sick.
I wondered if anyone else had commented on this. That made my day.
