      @greg schweng a sharp good size blade is best for that if it’s personal, but yes for defense a firearm is better depending on distance. Even in predator mode a good sharp blade is still the best it’s always more personal and savage which is why it’s the number one killing method around the world. Killing someone with a gun is cowardly unless it’s self defense.

    • @philp8872
      @philp8872 3 года назад +2

      @greg schweng Yes the primary purpose of a handgun is for self defence. But there´s so much more:
      Taking a handgun to the range is often for practicing self defence. BUT it´s not only for that, it can be a pure sport. Think of it as a fun sport like maybe billiard or dart. Have you ever been on a range or out in a remote area matching yourself with your friends shooting paper or steel targets? Have you ever watched biathlon were people do nordic skiing and shooting as an olympic sport?
      It can be a secondary hunting tool for killing wounded game as quickly as possible. In some countries handguns are even legal as a primary hunting gun.
      AND I think for most of us watching this channel it is primarily for the historic significance and the technical achievements of the era before and around WWI. The craftmannship that went into this guns has to be appreciated, especially in a time when most new guns are made of polymer and CNC parts.

The gun is fascinating, and you clearly showcased how it works with a thorough take down that demonstrated your love and respect for the piece. This show really is a passion project and, despite maintaining professional detachment, you bring you passion across.

    I can see Ian sipping a fine brandy while watching this intently in his most holiest bathrobe, waiting to point out any errors, which he shall quietly point out to Othias via email, albeit in French, and using such words that'd make the saltiest sailor blush.

    I am flabbergasted. I have been a firearms enthusiast since childhood and I also grew up in the Aschaffenburg area. Specifically I have worked in Sailauf (which essentially is a village on the outskirts of the Spessart forrest) for 12 years and I never knew that Bergmann originated from there. My mind is blown.

    FORGOTTEN BERGMANNS

  • @salvadorsempere1701
    @salvadorsempere1701 3 года назад +1

    As far as I know, the hability of being able to reload by striper clip or by magazine (both) was one of the factors mentioned by the Spanish comision on the adoption of the Bergman.
    God of algorithm pacified.

  • @philp8872
    @philp8872 3 года назад +4

    One of your greatest episodes, the Bergmann is really a complicated topic, spot on with some good jokes!
    I would say Mannlicher was one of the greatest names throughout the 1890´s regarding rifles, but on the pistol side he was quite compareable to Bergmann/Schmeisser, he only got that moderate success with the M1903/M1905, compareable to Bergmanns spanish and danish contracts.
    The Mannlicher M1896 and M1896/03 are maybe compareable in terms of commercial success to the Bergmann Mars, if at all. No match for Mausers C96, Lugers Parabellum or Brownings Colt and F.N. designs.
    And the Mannlicher M1894 was more or less a dead end prototype that was offered commercially, similar to all of the Bergmann Models before the Mars (with the exception of the Bergmann Simplex).
    The Roth-Steyr and the Steyr 1912 as the other Austrian pistols were the successfull ones, both commercial and technical, the M1912 was even one of the better pistols used in WWII. And while maybe connected to Mannlichers name through the Steyr gun factory, he was not responsible in any way for their design.
    Don´t get me wrong, I´m the biggest fan of Mannlicher rifles, especially Mannlicher-Schönauers.
    An episode on the Mannlicher M1896 pistol and it´s variants would be great!
    Love your style of going deep into the topic with the right appreciation for the era we´re looking at. Love the humor of both of you! Mae, you´re so cute, btw, is your last name really WInchester?

    So on my example I don't have a problem with stripping the magazine after pressing and not holding the release. It's possible the spring is just more worn on mine, it's quite strong regardless.
