Considering most European households outside of the cities have guns, most people especially East of the former Iron Curtain have/had compulsory military service and sharpshooting is a well represented sport...I am really confused how you made that comparison. Then again PETA kills more animals than an average hunting club so I can't be certain what you mean.

As a Finnish guy I can definitely say that I love my guns! And the attitude towards guns will be significantly different once you get outside of the cities.
I live in a quite liberal city in Finland and I love guns and am planning on getting my hands on an ar-15 and a pistol pretty soon. But then again I do understand the mentality that noone should have a tool that could take away a life in a whim and people who are unfamiliar with firearms might feel this way. It's good that there are comprehensive background checks and proof of a hobby on who can own firearms. Just my two cents on the topic.
@@Anoneemus_NoenaymeIn a close quarter engagement an attacker with a knife is your worst enemy, the attacker can cover ground much faster than a normal person is able to unholster, aim and shoot. There's a few videos on youtube, I suggest checking the out.
@Anoneemus_Noenayme there's a reason you Americans have lower IQs than Scandinavians. Your first thought about sensible gun ownership was "bUt wHaT aBoUT hAmMeRS"
@@Anoneemus_Noenayme You wouldn't have a guy killing dozens to a hundred people at once with a knife like how he would be able to do so with a rifle. The difference is just the amount of ease it takes to take someones life from further distance. Staying afar from others will keep you pretty safe from all the melee attackers, but if they have a gun, then only way for you to be safe is to be behind cover or couple KMs away on a flat plane. You can't defend yourself from some manic person shooting at your group of people from some balcony. Nothing like that with knifes. A single manic person with a pistol can overwhelm a group of normal unarmed people. Meanwhile, if he had just a knife, there would have been bigger chances for a big unarmed group to gang up on him instead with like bricks or sticks.
Yeah helsinki is a real bad place to ask about gun ownership. It's basically california of finland. Where i live in the northern parts in finland people are quite open to guns and even talk about them at workplaces.
I Love finnish people, they are open minded, have a great sense of humour and their feeling of SISU is unmatched. Sisu is a special finnish term which cant be directly translated (much like the danish "hygge") but is pure awesome..... I wish my finnish brothers and sisters welcome in NATO.... Finland, you have been a member long before the official "NATO membership". As a Danish citizen i have always thought of Norway, Sweden and Finland as my brothers and sisters...
A true professional indeed, good sir! Tally Ho and God speed my brother in arms! May you continue to do the Lord's work as you've been doing so well thus far!!!
To the guy talking about guns not being a God given right. The God given right is the right to self defense, and using the best tools for that job. So far, the best tool mankind has made for this…is a gun.
Competing in a tactical competition in Europe must have been quite an adventure. Using a Car-15 and Glock 17 adds an extra level of excitement. I hope you had a great time in Finland and enjoyed both the competition and the country itself.
There are still some other great places in Europe to shoot guns. Another one is Poland where do I live, every thousands of people get their permits (sad part) and buy firearms. Competition shooting is growing here: IPSC, IDPA and many others. A lot of people carry their firearms too. There are competitions like „Lekka Piechota” (Light Infantry), I know there are a bunch of people who want to bring Tactical Games to Poland.
Hey Admin, as an european gun guy, I thank you for this great video. Fun fact Austria, Italy and some other countries have decent gun laws and gun owners are always happy to connect with each other. Visit Italy next, I'd suggest. :)
@@nils-atExactly, our barrels can be as long or as short as we want, there's no fiscal or legal difference. In fact we are really up to date with modern firearms, many high end firearms are available for purchase and the price difference between the US and the european market is mostly acceptable.
It's like that everywhere lol. People in cities who want to be protected from the 2 leg variety of animals and people in the countryside who need to protect themselves from the 2 and 4 legged variety sometimes 8 but I don't like to talk about it. I've seen some shit.

It was not that much of wonder why those people who you interviewed had mixed feeling about guns. You were middle of Helsinki. Of course biggest city have most of those people who arent exacly into guns. But when moving least little bit more north you will see that attitude to change much more supportive.
When I am in Helsinki, if I think about guns, I think about handguns. When I am visiting my parents or at our cottage in the north, if I think about guns, I think about hunting rifles or my service weapon RK62. If you ask me about firearms, my answer heavily depends on where I am. You dont really think about shooting ranges or hunting rifles when you are in the middle of the city, but you do think about "street gangs" and, if you're a bit older, MC's.
Difference attitudes about guns in Finland and in Europe in general is that guns are seen mostly on sports (hunting mainly) and warfare tools. Not for self protection.
Two things I enjoy regarding Europe and their approach on guns. 1. More Europeans are starting to open up to firearms. 2. A decent amount of Europeans that vacation to the US also check out shooting ranges.
We have been able to own ar15s in Sweden on target shooting license for long time, but since august this year we are now allowed them on hunting license, which is far easier way to get guns. 💪
@@nodaerT used to be until 1934 and the rich elite was afraid of communists arming themselves 😂….. so its all commies fault we have license requirements
Guns exist in Europe, you can own guns in Europe, which has always been the case, what is better is that in Europe they don’t have weekly mass shootings
@@xHDdjuTrAXx--XIIX- I’m not here for the political argument or criminal statistics you wish to pull. There are plenty of differences between the US and Europe when it comes to guns. Europe has more extensive restrictions on what guns can be owned, and what the requirements are to own a gun. Some countries restrict access to ammo, some ban weapons by name. The biggest difference is how the nations were established. The US was founded with a focus on individuality. Most other nations put more emphasis on community. The various nations have different approaches with how they treat crimes, mental health, and safety. Europe has its own problems. Don’t pull this “better than you” crap. I am from Europe, and I’ve witnessed my fair share.
Worst place to ask about private gun ownership in Finland. :D Altough the whole of Finland is very strict on guns, I think that most people are not for total restriction. As a Finn who has just started his own gun hobby, when I talk to people about it they rarely have strong opinions for or against. When I tell them how owning guns works in Finland, they often think that it's set up in a way that's okay. To own a pistol, one has to have 2 years of regular training at a licenced gun range. If one wants to have a long gun, the amount of time is reduced to 1 year, but only with 10 round capasity mags. If one does training in "tra" which is like "action range training" kinda similar to how the Finnish Brutality contest is held, they can get a permission for mags or guns with +10 round capacity, which is called an "erva"-licence. That stands for "erityisen vaarallinen" / "especially dangerous". There are hunting weapons ehich you can attain right after completing your hunting licence, (basically anneasy test to see whether you can reqognize animals and whether you know the hunting laws) but if you don't hunt, the way Inexplained earlier is the only way to get a licence to own firearms.
Thanks for explaining this. Now I’m even more convinced that here in Poland, we’re the Texas of Europe. In less than 3 months you can get a sport license allowing you to buy any semiautomatic gun up to 12mm caliber. And you can carry your pistol around concealed, loaded.
While they may not like personal Firearms ownership, I definitely respect that they will gladly pick up a rifle of it comes to it. That's still a great attitude to have.
And about that owning a firearm. Results will change quite lot when you are not asking those questions in biggest city which also happens to be a capital. While there are lot of gun owners just because more people but overall attitude is much more supportive when you arent surrounded by concrete.
Yeah but how are they supposed to pick up a rifle if they don't have one, and if they were issued one they would not have any practice with it? If war was at there doorstep, they would have very limited time to go through a military conscript marksmanship boot-camp and that's the best case scenario for a society that's unarmed.
@@Andrew_DominikFinland has general conscription, pretty much all men and some volunteer women have spent 6-12 months in the military + occasional refresher training.
@@banaana1234 still the majority of those people are in non combative logistical roles. Serving 1 year in your twenties doesn't make up for an unarmed society.
@@Andrew_DominikNo, we are not. Your assumptions have very little to do with reality. The core of the Finnish defense forces are the reserve. It's the main combat element and you get called to refreshment training occasionally. Some have their own guns to keep their skills up to date even outside such exercises, voluntary or mandatory. "Our" guns exist in the military storages, enough of them to arm the population. Don't confuse our reserve for your reserve, systems differ. Just like a Finnish conscript is not the same in either training, motivation or quality as a Russian conscript. Readiness goes far beyond having a rifle in your closet, you'd be shocked if you knew what lengths this country goes to.
That is a very good type of shooting competition. It puts a lot of physical and mental pressure on your shooting ability. Pro tip: there’s a actual rope climbing technique than just using your arms only.
I'm glad US guntubers are giving more attention to Europe, as many European countries still have very good gun laws (despite the EU's best efforts), so raising awareness is very important for keeping them. I'm from Estonia, and a lot more people in my country have recently started to realize the importance of firearms. Unfortunately we don't have the right to bear arms like Czechia or Switzerland, but we are allowed to own AR-15s and concealed carry. Also, members of the Defense League (militia) can privately own assault rifles. We are lucky to have slightly better gun laws than Finland, but the Finns (especially Varusteleka) have definitely done a better job of promoting gun culture internationally.
@@evs251The vast majority of gun crimes in Europe are committed with guns stolen from military stockpiles. After the fall of the USSR and the yugoslav wars lots of illegal guns went onto the black market. Criminals don't go get a permit etc just to get a gun and the people that have a permit won't give them to criminals.
Until I saw the shot of your jacket with “AR” written on it, I didn’t know AR stood for Administrative Results. All this time I’ve been told it stood for Assault Rifle 15. Mind blown! I have to rest now.
Awesome video! I had the chance to visit Finland this year and work with their military. They are just as patriotic as we are and a lot of the Finns that I met do love guns. The food was incredible and Long Drink is the shit!
@admin, talk to Polenar Tactical about the light infantry competition ;) It is organized in Poland and it is one of the heaviest competition of this type in Europe using weapons. Generally, I invite you to Poland, currently this country and the Czech Republic are the two most liberal EU (looking from a European perspective) countries with access to weapons. Switzerland ofc is more liberal but it is outside EU.
I may be pagan, but I did read the Bible when I was younger (raised Catholic) and it does say in there that “if a man does not have a sword, he should sell his tunic and buy one”
@@AdministrativeResults I must've misunderstood the instructions. Threw the xbox in the dumpster, and built 4 ar's. Oh well. Also, god didn't intend for everyone to default into being good people. He gave people free will and allowed them the choice between being good or evil. Telling them the outcome of both choices. He knew there would always be evil in the world. And despite what the godless heathens say, we are not required to love/forgive all our neighbors, never recognizing their wickedness as the blatant threat that it can sometimes be. Being religious does not mean you have to be an absolute pacifist until you're inevitable destroyed because of it. We are allowed to recognize evil when we see it.
When I got into USPSA, that was a huge change and ego check. I think all shooters who are serious about their skills should at least try a shooting competition
I believe that the only people not realizing the the benefits of shooting competitions are the ones that have never tried it. I have seen SF guys get their big ego crushed at a simple local match...
I'm convinced that British officer encouragement improved Bloke's score on the trench dig and made his mustache grow faster in real time... Well done ol chap, now order them into the wall of perfectly spotted and ranged Maxim fire!
Meanwhile in Poland, with a "sports shooting license" we can have just about anything... as long as it's less than 12mm (so no 50. BMG, .50 AE, or .50 Beowolf - unless you have a hunting license), and it has to be "semi-auto"... how that semi-auto functionality is accomplished, is not relevant. On my ZB LMG (precursor to the Bren), they literally just ground a little bit of material off the selector lever and called it semi-auto. On my MG42, they added some extra bits to the trigger group. Suppressors are just a thing you can buy, like any other thing, and magazines are magazines... There is also a tremendous number of shooting ranges throughout the country.
In Finland with sporting license it is pretty much same deal. But to my understanding there are some limitations what is acceptable conversion for semi-auto when orginal model is full-automatic. Had be be least little bit harder to make it work again than what is mentioned above. And when it comes to supressors you should have least couple to spare.
How does poland deal with the 10 round capacity limit for magazines? Here in Germany we cant own anything over 10 rounds for long guns. There are some ways to get 30rnd mags legally but you are still not allowed to use them only own them.
I've been to poland countless times(gf is polish) and they got some good gun ranges. Ive shot AKMs, mp40, Thompson, various shotguns and handguns. Fun stuff
looks like a helluva trip, and some good results... but you know I'm surprised I didn't see references to the Gladiator scene in that field at some point in the video... really expected it right around 13:30
You should compete in Lekka Piechota (Light Infantry), a competition in Poland which is 36 hours of constant "fight". Come over next year if WW3 wont kick off
You don't need to fly across the pond, come to Poland, we have private training companies that will let you shoot suppressed full-auto M4s with NODs...
Finland had the third most heavily armed citizenry behind the United States and Yemen. There are many gun lovers in Finland but not so many in Helsinki.
I think if you go outside of Helsinki, people are more accepting of guns, especially when it comes to hunting. Asking people in Helsinki what they think of guns is a bit like asking people in New York city or Los Angeles what they think of it.
Congrats on your improvement! Always a fun time to go to the range with friends; especially in a beautiful country. Even if they make you exercise to do it.
Here in Norway most people like guns, especisly here in my commune Os/Bjørnafjorden :) Norway has almost 1.5mill registerd firearms with only 5.5mill citizens :)
And in here Finland has OVER 1,5 million registered firearms whit 5,5 million population. And who know how many old WWII era guns whit out any paper trace. How people think guns, is City versus rural.

There are hunting weapons ehich you can attain right after completing your hunting licence, (basically anneasy test to see whether you can reqognize animals and whether you know the hunting laws) but if you don't hunt, the way Inexplained earlier is the only way to get a licence to own firearms.
Thanks for explaining this. Now I’m even more convinced that here in Poland, we’re the Texas of Europe. In less than 3 months you can get a sport license allowing you to buy any semiautomatic gun up to 12mm caliber. And you can carry your pistol around concealed, loaded.
This is big epic, I've been loving watching all the Guntoobers episodes on this. I really really wanna fly out there for one of these.
8:10 Finland. Where you can go into a field and find wild Ju-87 Stukas hibernating there
Quality content of gun Jesus telling Admin to fuck off, this is what I come here for
I have a Finnish Mosin Nagan. It’s a beautiful rifle. They know what they’re doing over there.
While they may not like personal Firearms ownership, I definitely respect that they will gladly pick up a rifle of it comes to it. That's still a great attitude to have.
And about that owning a firearm. Results will change quite lot when you are not asking those
questions in biggest city which also happens to be a capital.
While there are lot of gun owners just because more people but overall
attitude is much more supportive when you arent surrounded by concrete.
Yeah but how are they supposed to pick up a rifle if they don't have one, and if they were issued one they would not have any practice with it? If war was at there doorstep, they would have very limited time to go through a military conscript marksmanship boot-camp and that's the best case scenario for a society that's unarmed.
@@Andrew_DominikFinland has general conscription, pretty much all men and some volunteer women have spent 6-12 months in the military + occasional refresher training.
@@banaana1234 still the majority of those people are in non combative logistical roles. Serving 1 year in your twenties doesn't make up for an unarmed society.
@@Andrew_DominikNo, we are not. Your assumptions have very little to do with reality. The core of the Finnish defense forces are the reserve. It's the main combat element and you get called to refreshment training occasionally. Some have their own guns to keep their skills up to date even outside such exercises, voluntary or mandatory.
"Our" guns exist in the military storages, enough of them to arm the population.
Don't confuse our reserve for your reserve, systems differ. Just like a Finnish conscript is not the same in either training, motivation or quality as a Russian conscript.
Readiness goes far beyond having a rifle in your closet, you'd be shocked if you knew what lengths this country goes to.
That is a very good type of shooting competition. It puts a lot of physical and mental pressure on your shooting ability.
Pro tip: there’s a actual rope climbing technique than just using your arms only.
Getting a FK off from Ian...priceless!
Perfection.
No u
Well, we got "Light Infrantry" competition in Poland. A pretty much just like Finnish Brutality lol.
I'm glad US guntubers are giving more attention to Europe, as many European countries still have very good gun laws (despite the EU's best efforts), so raising awareness is very important for keeping them. I'm from Estonia, and a lot more people in my country have recently started to realize the importance of firearms.
Unfortunately we don't have the right to bear arms like Czechia or Switzerland, but we are allowed to own AR-15s and concealed carry. Also, members of the Defense League (militia) can privately own assault rifles. We are lucky to have slightly better gun laws than Finland, but the Finns (especially Varusteleka) have definitely done a better job of promoting gun culture internationally.
Wow that's crazy liberal. Be glad.
And also Estonia has one of the highest homicide rates in Europe so it's absolutely no wonder you have conceal carry permits
Hey I hope to be in Estonia sometime soon so greetings from across the pond
@@evs251y'all talk tough but...
@@evs251The vast majority of gun crimes in Europe are committed with guns stolen from military stockpiles. After the fall of the USSR and the yugoslav wars lots of illegal guns went onto the black market.
Criminals don't go get a permit etc just to get a gun and the people that have a permit won't give them to criminals.
Bros content is immaculate, thats why i subbed!
Awesome format! Well edited to mix fast paced shooting with a few funny Admin moments! Love it
It's always nice to see someone visiting my hometown Helsinki. Awesome video again
Until I saw the shot of your jacket with “AR” written on it, I didn’t know AR stood for Administrative Results. All this time I’ve been told it stood for Assault Rifle 15. Mind blown! I have to rest now.
I saved guns from being controlled your welcome
I hope you know it doesn't stand for Assault Rifle...
@@Pienimusta Kamala Harris says that it does, and she's always 100% accurate in her claims.
”assault rifle 15” i know this is a joke but😂😂
Awesome video! I had the chance to visit Finland this year and work with their military. They are just as patriotic as we are and a lot of the Finns that I met do love guns. The food was incredible and Long Drink is the shit!
@admin, talk to Polenar Tactical about the light infantry competition ;) It is organized in Poland and it is one of the heaviest competition of this type in Europe using weapons. Generally, I invite you to Poland, currently this country and the Czech Republic are the two most liberal EU (looking from a European perspective) countries with access to weapons. Switzerland ofc is more liberal but it is outside EU.
I've traveled to Europe to shoot guns a couple of times. Good stuff ❤
Same now!
Exclamation of fun pastimes in the modern year, or admittance of terrible warcrimes during the Yugoslav Wars?
We're on to you, Mr. Moses!
@@Thomas-fz9xw I haven't done anything that cool. 😅😅
@@Thomas-fz9xwbro what?
@@Thomas-fz9xwboth
That was amazing! You are welcome back anytime! If you could bring Mike and Micah with you next time that would be perfect
I may be pagan, but I did read the Bible when I was younger (raised Catholic) and it does say in there that “if a man does not have a sword, he should sell his tunic and buy one”
He who does not have a AR-15, go and sell your XBOX and buy one.
@@AdministrativeResults I must've misunderstood the instructions. Threw the xbox in the dumpster, and built 4 ar's. Oh well.
Also, god didn't intend for everyone to default into being good people. He gave people free will and allowed them the choice between being good or evil. Telling them the outcome of both choices. He knew there would always be evil in the world. And despite what the godless heathens say, we are not required to love/forgive all our neighbors, never recognizing their wickedness as the blatant threat that it can sometimes be. Being religious does not mean you have to be an absolute pacifist until you're inevitable destroyed because of it. We are allowed to recognize evil when we see it.
@@DaleGribbleMDi have 3 xboxs and 3 guns so its all good
Yeah "there weren't guns during creation", well no shit. How dense do you have to be to not see it's about the concept not the tool itself.
@@AdministrativeResults I have 2 AR15s, an AR10, a 9mm PDW, and a Sig P320 M17….and a high end gaming PC
When I got into USPSA, that was a huge change and ego check. I think all shooters who are serious about their skills should at least try a shooting competition
I believe that the only people not realizing the the benefits of shooting competitions are the ones that have never tried it. I have seen SF guys get their big ego crushed at a simple local match...
"Are all Americans like you?"
Yes.
“He said to them, ‘But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.’”
I'm convinced that British officer encouragement improved Bloke's score on the trench dig and made his mustache grow faster in real time... Well done ol chap, now order them into the wall of perfectly spotted and ranged Maxim fire!
In light of current events you should revisit this. "Armed in (Euroland vs. USA)"
The wide open border and whatnot.
Meanwhile in Poland, with a "sports shooting license" we can have just about anything... as long as it's less than 12mm (so no 50. BMG, .50 AE, or .50 Beowolf - unless you have a hunting license), and it has to be "semi-auto"... how that semi-auto functionality is accomplished, is not relevant. On my ZB LMG (precursor to the Bren), they literally just ground a little bit of material off the selector lever and called it semi-auto. On my MG42, they added some extra bits to the trigger group. Suppressors are just a thing you can buy, like any other thing, and magazines are magazines...
There is also a tremendous number of shooting ranges throughout the country.
Same in Czech republic (though i don´t know about the semi auto part)
In Finland with sporting license it is pretty much same deal.
But to my understanding there are some limitations what is acceptable conversion for
semi-auto when orginal model is full-automatic. Had be be least little bit harder to
make it work again than what is mentioned above.
And when it comes to supressors you should have least couple to spare.
Jeszcze Polska nie zginela.
How does poland deal with the 10 round capacity limit for magazines? Here in Germany we cant own anything over 10 rounds for long guns. There are some ways to get 30rnd mags legally but you are still not allowed to use them only own them.
@@DUKEisALIVE No such thing was implemented, no magazine regulations at all.
Jenny nailed the American accent. OMG!
yeah, it's a good thing we didn't film in the sauna... 👀
8:18 “just needs fuel pump, will need tow”
Seeing you and my other favorites on thr Polenar Tactical video, in fact Ziga might be your brother from another mother...and father...
I've been to poland countless times(gf is polish) and they got some good gun ranges. Ive shot AKMs, mp40, Thompson, various shotguns and handguns. Fun stuff
Hell of a trip. Looks like so much fun
its the best way to do Europe lol
@@AdministrativeResultswe are glad you enjoyed it.
Great video, waiting for the one on the other channel. Would you ever consider going to Poland for "Light Infantry" event?
this is the definition of why you never skip cardio
I love it. I might have to visit Finland now.
7:21 GYATT
There are so many fun things about this video. I really like the soft close.
I can't think of a more fun reason to stay fit and shoot guns!!
We all need a good why, this isnt my total why, but its a good side reason.
looks like a helluva trip, and some good results... but you know I'm surprised I didn't see references to the Gladiator scene in that field at some point in the video... really expected it right around 13:30
I love your channel, and this competition is one of the best I've ever see... I'm speechless, it is in Europe... wow....
Flaming cars, high speed shooting , & a side of floor is lava
Its a palooza of good times
You have to come to Switzerland for the „Feldschiessen“ or some other traditional Swiss shooting events!
Car15 and a M9 combo would have been mentos
Everytime I see these brutality matches they look like so much fun.
Some day I'll take a month long vacation to Finland in a secluded lodge with a sauna during snowy season
You should compete in Lekka Piechota (Light Infantry), a competition in Poland which is 36 hours of constant "fight". Come over next year if WW3 wont kick off
I will like to see American youtubers in lekka piechota
I as a European would love to travel to the US to shoot guns 🙂
Same, but I think the que to get in is...long..
Hell, come to Georgia. Plenty of ranges and people willing to instruct.
@overcastandhaze You mean the state right?
@@ls200076Noone means the state when they talking about Georgia
You don't need to fly across the pond, come to Poland, we have private training companies that will let you shoot suppressed full-auto M4s with NODs...
3:19; pride goeth before destruction. and a haughty spirit before a fall...
Did anyone notice that Finnish guy looked a lot like Blue Jean Operator?
There was another digging a trench that looked a lot like Ian McCollum
Crazy, sounded so Finnish huh?
5:28 never heard him so casual 😅
That lava bit was funny. Best of the day 🇫🇮 🤘
i really enjoy these formats. Great to watch.
1:34 The Finnish Birds work for the Finnish Bourgeoisie
Do tell more
Been watching forgotten weapons coverage of this event for years glad more Americans are catching on to it maybe next year get mike to come with you
I was ready for brother to say 18. Wow was I wrong
Finland had the third most heavily armed citizenry behind the United States and Yemen. There are many gun lovers in Finland but not so many in Helsinki.
I can't wait to Finnish this video.
The Forgotten Weapons, the Creed, the ambiance, everything. Its perfect.
If I were Slovenian I'd be playing Laibach for visitors. Every. Single. Time.
Nah, turbo folk all the way.
love the vlog-style video
You need to get the rest of the boys out here to do this next year. Matt, Kentucky, and Mike would make this triph hilarious.
That looks so awesome thank you for sharing with us, looking forward to managerial outcomes
As a Frenchmen i can also say that i love to own guns and train with them. :)
Bro literally went from hiding his face from the world, to showing face and showing the world how it’s done!
I think if you go outside of Helsinki, people are more accepting of guns, especially when it comes to hunting. Asking people in Helsinki what they think of guns is a bit like asking people in New York city or Los Angeles what they think of it.
"Forgotten Weapons!" "Fuck off"
Fun stuff. Cool to see Forgotten Weapons just lurking about.
I just love seeing Admin absolutely SENDING it at every stage! Speed and agility!
Truly remarkable guy and absolute beast! Hats off to you sir.
I thought the voice singing the barbie song in Ian’s video on Finnish Brutality sounded familiar 😂
Format was great! Loved the storytelling style and you made me add Finnish Brutality to the bucket list. That would be pimpppppppppppppppppppppp
Were those Canadian cobra chickens you were interviewing?They’re as scary as guns
Congrats on your improvement! Always a fun time to go to the range with friends; especially in a beautiful country.
Even if they make you exercise to do it.
Here in Norway most people like guns, especisly here in my commune Os/Bjørnafjorden :) Norway has almost 1.5mill registerd firearms with only 5.5mill citizens :)
Nice good on you Norwegians 🇳🇴
And in here Finland has OVER 1,5 million registered firearms whit 5,5 million population. And who know how many old WWII era guns whit out any paper trace.
How people think guns, is City versus rural.
We Have 2 milion in Sweden but we have almost twice the population. The gunlaws changed this year so hopefully there will be more guns soon. Now it's possible to have an AR on a hunting license.
@@ozzy8422 Damn, lucky😭 I realy want to be able to buy an ar quicker then I can now in norway🥲 It’s still 2 years untill I can buy an AR here, and I’m 21💀 I already have 5 other rifles and shotguns tho :)
@@SavolaxMitsu Yeah same in norway, we have around 200k-300k unregistered weapons from ww2 and illegaly imported
Dude you should come up to Winter Brutality in BC, Canada put on by CanadianMultigun. I think you'd like it!
this looks like an awesome time
Calling any country in Europe "Europe" is considered to be one of the worst insults known to man
