We cant even compare the old issued Ka-bar with that new mushy heat treatment they're making today. As for the throwing the best half spin thrower is a Cold steel Jack dagger.Heavy,sharp tip and even the blade can be sharpened to hair shaving sharp level.
Maybe. I’ve never thought of that. If you throw the gel at the knife, one of two things can happen. The knife will penetrate straight through the gel, or the gel will completely miss from horrible accuracy, yet again it will more than likely not do nothing since you are throwing and object with more mass at an object with way less mass.
The only problem with this is that he is doing a spin throw, this type of throw is entirely unrealistic in a combat situation because you can only stick the knife at certain distances. A no-spin throw would be much better. To be fair he is REALLY good at the spin throw.
No spin throwing has hardly any power behind it, and quickly looses accuracy past 10feet. other than soft woods most "No Spin" throws won't stick into objects...it is very hard to keep any type of speed or power behind no spin throwing. The max distance I'm at in this video is 30feet, and I would LOVE to see any "No Spin" thrower try to even have 1/4 the power of these impacts. Lets just all be honest, THROWING your primary blade is LAST RESORT, I'd much rather run up on the target and go to work with it in my hands.
I agree! The spin actually adds force that causes a deeper penetration and a harder blow, but it's also less likely that you'll stick it in someone. And of course throwing your primary blade is a last resort! But you can have multiple knives, and sticking a knife in someone is a pretty good distraction so you can effectively get to them. Then again any knife flying at you would be a bit of a distraction, just one sticking in you would be quit a bit more.
Having thrown spin, no-spin, and combat many times. the combat throw is the best suited to a combat situation and personally a more accurate and more powerful throw, it is a choked half spin throw that the thrower instinctively holds the knife by the blade at the correct position to achieve a stick for the distance required. I have only tried this once to kill, it was over 30 years ago, whilst hunting It was very successful it was requested by my foreman for food, not fun, also a horizontal throw to the back of the neck was the chosen method to achieve an almost instant death and minimal suffering.
Yeah, no spin throws don't work well against vertical or horizontal grain wood targets as the knife tends to bullet spin because usually the knife sticks better when it hits within the grain, that's why you notice a lot of Russian No Spin throwers have these targets made up of blocks of wood with the End grains facing out, that way you can do no spin and spin throws at the target.
Theadore Lol. Its almost physically impossible for a person to throw a knife and stick it into you. Basic physics. Mass and velocity isn't enough to puncture through tissue and muscle and stay stuck in you. It will leave a puncture wound and the knife will fall to the ground
I'm a nitpicking asshole, but I can't find a single flaw in your video. Especially like the slow mo's of each throw so I CAN ACTUALLY SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING. Great video, one of the best.
Not trying to be a douche, but a couple things couple affect the outcome of the throws. 1. He can't throw all of them with the exact same arm strength every time, and 2. He's throwing all at the same ballistic gel, meaning previous wounds are prexisting. If you hit in the same place twice it will look far more deadly than it would be if it had to penetrate the exterior. This was overall a great video though, just a couple thoughts. I'm impressed by your throwing abilities!
This was a really well made vid. I had no idea just how devastating knife throwing was. Whenever I’ve seen knife throwing comps it never seems that bad going into wooden targets. Unreal.
when i was 7 i used to go down to my basement with three seperate kitchen knives and throw each one until i mastered throwing them, my target was a cardboard cutout of a man holding a sign and i practiced for years
i really like your videos too.. but i have a question... can you make a detailed video of how to throw tamahawks cause i seem to be having alot of issues with getting the blade to actually fully hit and i noticed the way you released yours
thank you.. i found it.. though i have another question.. does it matter whether the blade is heavier than the handle or whether the handle is heavier than the blade on knives?
i prefer to have blades where the handle is heavier myself.. i seem to cut myself alot with lighter knives or knives where the weight is all in the blade
um I played bo1 and when ever I threw a combat axe at the player they always died so this video is false. Disliked, report, unsubscribed, copyrighted jk
you never know , you might be in the woods out of bullets and have only some knives or a tomahawk , or in a dream in the woods with only knives , or let's say you went thru a time machine and they had no rifles back then. always be ready man.
The shock on the gun with the ballistics gel would probably move something inside the gun. And the weight would have drag through Air resistance would slow the whole gun down while it move through the air, And the weight of the gun would probably make the gun just fall and hit the ground
+Call me Smith Have you ever fired a Mosin? 7.62x54r is a pretty significant round. Every time I fire mine, a shockwave goes across the grass in front of the gun, a fireball comes out about 3 feet, and the leaves get rustled around. That's from firing 185-grain military surplus ammo in a standing position.
They aren't the most accurate guns in the world, but they are sturdy as hell. Look up IV8888's Mosin torture test. He even stabbed a cinder block with the bayonet.
N8THEGR8 It depends on the rifle and ammo, though. My rifle tends to hit within an inch of grouping at 100 yds. With light-ball, it's about 2-3 inches. I've seen some that aren't quite as accurate, but they tend to have corroded barrels.
Imagine this guy throwing a bayonet at you, missing, saying “oh woops hold on”, pulling it out of your shoulder, walking back 20 feet, throwing the bayonet, and hitting you right in the stomach What a way to go
I'm not a forensic scientist, but when he threw the Indian tomahawk at the dummy first try, it nearly took his left shoulder off. If that was a real person, you could see major artery damage and amputation of left ball and socket joint.
Carter Gonzalez well you'd most likely see hypovolemic shock from blood loss with that placement and Trauma that would happen. From a bio chemist and er nurse practitioner
@Xbus6 Gaming And the next thing you'll say is that it's a "personal choice" but I'll tell you it is not. What about all those animals that you enjoyed eating? Do they have a choice? No but if they did they would choose to live and not be eaten. And this is no place to discuss these topics so shut up for now you selfish person
WW2, German and American soldiers were shooting at each other, ran outta ammo. all of a sudden, a bayonet hits the German in the shoulder out of nowhere... all i can thinking of is what that soldier is going to be thinking like "OW!!! WTF?!?! WHO'S OUT HERE THROWING BAYONETS!?! FUCKING ASSHOLES!"
Not only that but the easiest way to consistently stick it in target is to figure out the ideal distance for a specific throw(velocity, rotation, etc) It's hard to throw a knife dynamically (moving targets, random distances, etc) Yeah if you hit them with the handle it will hurt but that is true for any item of similar mass. Might as well throw rocks.
I used to do straight-throws with knives... They're actually pretty reliable for about the first 3-4 meters. Then you can go to half-spin throws that cover twice that distance and are flying basically straight after the spin. Straight throws were a lot harder than spinning throws but would be useful if someone was charging you and you had an extra knife to chuck at them.
Rickey Bullington you're telling the truth.when i was about 11 i threw a machete at a tree and it bounced back and hit me dead in the chest,i only survived because it hit me with the pommel/handle of the blade so ace spade listen to this guy hes being for real
If you have a knife or hawk that were not designed for throwing, DO NOT THROW THEM on a regular basis. Throwing causes a lot of lateral stress that the tools were not designed to handle. It is a fast recipe to damage or break your tool. The Kabar bent after one throw, and that's exactly what will happen to a knife that was not designed for this. Throwing is a form of heavy abuse, especially with knives that have high hardness blade to maintain good edge performance. There is a reason why throwing knives are made of cheap soft steels--they can absorb shock and lateral stress way better.
obviously if your gonna throw a knife know that its original purpose probably is gone because of throwing it and trying to learn the exacts to it in general
respect for the throwing skills. I wonder if those weapons could penetrate cloth. you should try putting a shirt or a jacket over the dummy gel. it would be interesting to see what happens.
yes. what? it's not the same when you throw it and when you thrust it. and most knives are not razor sharp. or is it to much work to put an old jacket over the dummy gel?
Been training in throwing blades for over 8years...more focused and strict training over the last 2 years. They dont always stick, but you keep throwing and learn the rotation and wear to hold your blades at different distances over time and LOTS OF PRACTICE.
I've saw a lot of videos in which they say that throwing knives at someone has very little chance of injuring your target and zero chance of killing them, regardless of how much practice you put in or how good you get at it. They always say that you can't get enough force behind it to cause serious injury and that it would perhaps serve only as a small, momentary distraction at best and serve to give your weapon to your target at worst. Next time i come across such a video or argument i'll be directing them to this video. Great job. You really have your technique honed to incredible levels. Subscribed :)
John Marston wow really? I have been throwing knives and tomhwaks at tress for years BD I figured if they can go into a tree it's going inside a person lol
John Marston Agreed. We have performed test were hatchet style weapons show to have a higher kinetic force after being slung as opposed to swinging. People tend to sling harder than they swing due to not have to be concerned with following control of an object remaining in the hand. So, if you can generate enough energy to to cause injury by swinging, an object with enough mass will definitely have plenty of force when throne. When you see those videos, another option would be to refer them to baseball players being hit by pitches. A throw, round object with much less mass generally takes down those it strikes for what would be long enough to shift the balance of a hand to hand scenario.
Great points. I've seen someone being knocked on there ass by a pitch. I've also been at football/soccer games and watched players as well as fans being kocked out cold after being hit with the ball in the head. Soccer balls are extremely light and round and cause a reasonable amount of damage. I certainly wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of a knife or hatchet being thrown with even a FRACTION of the force of a baseball pitch/hit or a soccer kick!
I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream you must be 12 then. Calm down dude. He threw multiple knives and axes and got them all, he is skilled. Each knife and axe you have to throw differently.
He's good, but with a little bit of practice and repetition it's not particularly hard to stick it every time once you get feel for the same distance every throw. I speak from experience.
Dude you are awesome! You seem like a very humble nice guy. You aren't arrogant, you are very good at explaining things, and just make extremely enjoyable/well made videos.
Once you're good at throwing you'll eventually know how to adjust with the distance.... Your mind will automatically tells you how to make the rotation according to the distance....
Man, I don't know how many takes this video took but you're a pro thrower! I can consistently stick a knife into my thumbs and feet but not much else! I'd like to see similar tests with different types of throwing stars and shurikens although I know that neither would be as effective! Great video though!
UnknownGamer That’s what your supposed to do to make it look more professional cut the scenes, change camera angles and add transitions or it would look like a Vlog😂
you gotta learn the no spin throwing technique, its known to be the strongest impact for throwing anything, check out zombiegoboom with the throwing dude in it, he can kill people with things you wouldnt imagine lol
Is there any process you follow when throwing a tomahawk, etc, or are you going by instinct? How do you get the blade in the gel rather than the handle basically? Thanks for any replies and great informative video :)
Well done! Thanks for thinking this through and giving us such a clear exhibition of the science that supports the art of excellent throwing skills. I'm looking forward to more of your fun and informative videos.

Tuton25 Thank god I live in California I would really hate to defend I or my families life against a sword pommel. As long as it's illegal criminals won't have sword pommels.
I'm a big knife lover, ever since I was a kid. My grandpa, a Vietnam Marine, gave me a KABAR replica. It's only a replica but it's just like the one he has and I couldn't be happier since I always wanted one! Now I gotta get down throwing it XD
English is not my native language, and I know this video is a bit dated, but I would like to learn about GY6's accent. This is the English accent that I find to be the most clear to understand and the most enjoyable to listen to. By the way, incredible throwing skills, there 👏
+catabol It's an American "Teevee" accent. Very nondescript, not northern or southern, with some slight british influences. Though Andrew's isn't pure "teevee" accent, it's just a smidge Southern, so I'd guess he's from Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, or Iowa. Just a guess though, it's pure conjecture and I am not sure. So, yeah. Default American "teevee" accent. Easy to understand, difficult to imitate, but I speak from experience when I say that from a "teevee" accent it is very easy to imitate other accents.
Do you mean when he threw the axe into Magni's shoulder? One of Thor's sons? I don't recall Kratos throwing the axe into Baldur. He broke his neck to kill him.
Coach Lombardi used to say if you throw 300 balls at nothing you achieve nothing. You throw 300 balls through a tire and you achieve accuracy. Aim at nothing, and you're sure to hit it.
Hey Andrew, your knife throwing is exceptional and I also couldn't ignore the fact that you sound a lot like Chris Evans and you got the same built as him as well.
Figure out how fast your weapon spins considering its weight and count the distance with steps. Then just throw it correctly but not into stuff like live wood or it'll damage it.
Marley Murray I've been throwing knives and hawks for 25+ years. Practice. the longer and heavier the throwing implement, the slower the rotation. very easy to figure out with practice. hawks, especially the traditional style he was throwing spin very predictably. Also, with hawks you can reverse your grip, and throw them with the bit facing back and get twice the sticking potential. based on how close you are. I can reliably and repeatedly stick hawks and big throwing knives out to 60 feet.
Dude, you rock. Nice to see a friendly and informative video on products. I say informative because you have some things I never seen before. The "experts" who are slamming you are cheap entertainment. Strange how non of them have any videos to show all of us how it's "really done."

the problem with the wrong throw is you just gave someone your weapon...but whatever works. still a cool video.
Not only that but the easiest way to consistently stick it in target is to figure out the ideal distance for a specific throw(velocity, rotation, etc)

obviously if your gonna throw a knife know that its original purpose probably is gone because of throwing it and trying to learn the exacts to it in general
9SS94Cr Yeah I broke the tip on my western-style knife from a company that went out of business in the 1970s
not seen one of your vids before, but i have to say, that slowmo makes you look awesome. You're in infuriatingly impressive shape.
made ya moist didn't it
respect for the throwing skills. I wonder if those weapons could penetrate cloth. you should try putting a shirt or a jacket over the dummy gel. it would be interesting to see what happens.
You wonder if a knife can penetrate cloth?
yes. what? it's not the same when you throw it and when you thrust it. and most knives are not razor sharp. or is it to much work to put an old jacket over the dummy gel?
Chuck Norris lol it went through pork ribs and meat and still penetrated the dummy, I'm sure a little polyester and cotton won't make the difference
I tried it. it made a difference in my book.
I love watching your throwing technique in slow motion. It looks so smooth.
How many years did it take to be able to achieve all these throws nearly the first time?
Been training in throwing blades for over 8years...more focused and strict training over the last 2 years.
They dont always stick, but you keep throwing and learn the rotation and wear to hold your blades at different distances over time and LOTS OF PRACTICE.
GY6vids I bet, I throw knives myself, and knowing how tricky they are to stick, this was extremely impressive.
Is it only me or that white body jelly looking thing looks delicious
Its not
Bleach King I know it's a joke but ballistic gel doesn't really taste like anything it's bland
Thank u that made me laugh so hard
It does a little

Dude....you are a badass!
haha well thank you!
I've saw a lot of videos in which they say that throwing knives at someone has very little chance of injuring your target and zero chance of killing them, regardless of how much practice you put in or how good you get at it.
They always say that you can't get enough force behind it to cause serious injury and that it would perhaps serve only as a small, momentary distraction at best and serve to give your weapon to your target at worst.
Next time i come across such a video or argument i'll be directing them to this video. Great job. You really have your technique honed to incredible levels. Subscribed :)
John Marston wow really? I have been throwing knives and tomhwaks at tress for years BD I figured if they can go into a tree it's going inside a person lol
John Marston Agreed. We have performed test were hatchet style weapons show to have a higher kinetic force after being slung as opposed to swinging. People tend to sling harder than they swing due to not have to be concerned with following control of an object remaining in the hand. So, if you can generate enough energy to to cause injury by swinging, an object with enough mass will definitely have plenty of force when throne. When you see those videos, another option would be to refer them to baseball players being hit by pitches. A throw, round object with much less mass generally takes down those it strikes for what would be long enough to shift the balance of a hand to hand scenario.
Great points. I've seen someone being knocked on there ass by a pitch. I've also been at football/soccer games and watched players as well as fans being kocked out cold after being hit with the ball in the head. Soccer balls are extremely light and round and cause a reasonable amount of damage. I certainly wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of a knife or hatchet being thrown with even a FRACTION of the force of a baseball pitch/hit or a soccer kick!
Thanks for the video. I have always wondered if a thrown knife/tomahawak can kill a person. This info makes my purchase of a SOG tomahawak a good one.
Bill Loveless you wanna kill someone or something?
Chainhog IdkwhatToPutAsLastNameXD LOL, no. I'm just a curious fella.
***** no he was happy because he found out his weapon could kill someone, I know he doesn't wanna kill someone anyway , it was a joke
That was the way I took it. :) I' m a curious guy is all.
P
Another great video ~ great throwing skills. With the differences in weights and balance of each blade, I was quite impressed.
You should be in Americas got talent cause you are a very skilled knife thrower
Tino TheKid where.. where do you think he is? He's got an American accent
You don't get it kid... LOL
I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream you must be 12 then. Calm down dude. He threw multiple knives and axes and got them all, he is skilled. Each knife and axe you have to throw differently.
I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream can you explain how so i am?
He's good, but with a little bit of practice and repetition it's not particularly hard to stick it every time once you get feel for the same distance every throw. I speak from experience.
Alright but can you throw a tomahawk with a bayonet on it?
😂
Can you throw the bayonet with the rifle attached would be my question. :)
@@johnprice5784 You *can*. The true question is, would it actually work?
John Price You could throw it like a spear, but it wouldn’t go very far
@Man Plan Excellent point!
That kabar rib throw satisfying af
Dude! That deadly business look on your face when throwing, SCARY!
Great video! Entertaining, and, educational! Who could ask for more?
great site! informative, professional presentation and enjoyable!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
"when you touch yourself" lol
lol giggled at that too

digital107 how do I make that face when I make comments on videos??? I've always wondered how people did that
***** THUNKS EMUHL GAMCRACKUR!
Dude you are awesome! You seem like a very humble nice guy. You aren't arrogant, you are very good at explaining things, and just make extremely enjoyable/well made videos.
How do you ensure that the front of the knife penetrates your target and not the back end
kahn lol u can't ensure you are the exact distance away from the knife hitting its target
Once you're good at throwing you'll eventually know how to adjust with the distance....
Your mind will automatically tells you how to make the rotation according to the distance....
dunga kholhrng Kind of like throwing a baseball or football. Your mind adjust to the thing your throwing
Fjorald Cacaj Like with a football to throw a spiral you gotta roll or hand a certain way
When you pull the trigger, the bullet always hits the target point first.
Man, I don't know how many takes this video took but you're a pro thrower! I can consistently stick a knife into my thumbs and feet but not much else! I'd like to see similar tests with different types of throwing stars and shurikens although I know that neither would be as effective! Great video though!
Blakehx you didn't see him cut the video till he got it so it looks like he got it first try your sad really
UnknownGamer That’s what your supposed to do to make it look more professional cut the scenes, change camera angles and add transitions or it would look like a Vlog😂
Knowing me, I'd probably have it hit the target with the hilt of the knife...
ElectroniKid same it keeps happening to me whenever I throw something. I've got about a 50/50 chance at actually sticking
ElectroniKid keep practicing you'll get it. Try holding it different or take a few steps back it takes time
you gotta learn the no spin throwing technique, its known to be the strongest impact for throwing anything, check out zombiegoboom with the throwing dude in it, he can kill people with things you wouldnt imagine lol
ElectroniKid then his end would be right
ElectroniKid you know as a kid Chris hemsworth's brother Liam threw a knife at him and the hilt hit him in the face ... we almost didn't have Thor...
Is there any process you follow when throwing a tomahawk, etc, or are you going by instinct? How do you get the blade in the gel rather than the handle basically? Thanks for any replies and great informative video :)
That's very odd that the ka bar bent. I'd definitely contact ka bar because mine never did that and I'm pretty hard on it.
Do u practice throwing knives and tomohawks?
Oh yeah!
GY6vids and
GooglyBanana what is a tomohawk
a lightweight axe where you throw it at high velocity and penetrates pretty easily with no protection
shush dont burst their bubble
Well done! Thanks for thinking this through and giving us such a clear exhibition of the science that supports the art of excellent throwing skills. I'm looking forward to more of your fun and informative videos.
I just broke a couple ribs last week. That last throw was a tough one to watch. Nice throwing.
that side of the internet again huh.... gotta say, now i wanna learn throwing knives....
SerjSongsROCK Ya me to fucking clowns
SerjSongsROCK lmao aye Same
SerjSongsROCK sammeee… but, then i dont… people would worry im planning for a Zombie Apocalypse… i already shoot arrows and have broadheads… "plannin a mass murder huh!!"
I misread the title and thought it said Throwing Knives & Tomahawks vs. Gerbils
Had a good laugh
Dakota Powell I laughed at this
Go to 13:04 and listen to the sound it makes when it slices the meat
Just sounds so painful 😖
This is the most aesthetically pleasing video I’ve seen in a while
Throw a sword pommel!
to END THEM... rightly so!
the explosion would kill millions though...
Tuton25 Thank god I live in California I would really hate to defend I or my families life against a sword pommel. As long as it's illegal criminals won't have sword pommels.
Then he would really end Casualty Carl rightly.
fellow skallagrim fans hello
That Tomahawk is one scary weapon! Nice video
I like how he don’t edit out his fails 👍🏼
I'm a big knife lover, ever since I was a kid. My grandpa, a Vietnam Marine, gave me a KABAR replica. It's only a replica but it's just like the one he has and I couldn't be happier since I always wanted one! Now I gotta get down throwing it XD
Hi how many steps from the throwing point to the target you are. thanks in advance.
in this video anywhere from 21-30feet depending on the blade being thrown.
Was that first time throws? Because if it was then that's some damn good skill ya got there. Good shit man.
This is why I subscribed
English is not my native language, and I know this video is a bit dated, but I would like to learn about GY6's accent. This is the English accent that I find to be the most clear to understand and the most enjoyable to listen to. By the way, incredible throwing skills, there 👏
+catabol It's an American "Teevee" accent. Very nondescript, not northern or southern, with some slight british influences. Though Andrew's isn't pure "teevee" accent, it's just a smidge Southern, so I'd guess he's from Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, or Iowa. Just a guess though, it's pure conjecture and I am not sure. So, yeah. Default American "teevee" accent. Easy to understand, difficult to imitate, but I speak from experience when I say that from a "teevee" accent it is very easy to imitate other accents.
@@noahgassler746 Thank you very much Mr Gassler. I really appreciate it.
Your throws are so perfectly accurate !
Report GY6 for aimbotting.
hahaha;-)
Lol
He dosentt even have a mod menu first of all
Ok
He is banned now
7:06 The Way Kratos Threw the Leviathan Axe at Baldur's Shoulder ,would be cool if he called the Axe back into his hand 😂
Do you mean when he threw the axe into Magni's shoulder? One of Thor's sons? I don't recall Kratos throwing the axe into Baldur. He broke his neck to kill him.
*causally tapes ribs to wood*
You should’ve Gone for the head
7:07
you little memster
Lol he practicing for those cross map kills for call of duty
Getting flashbacks of Spike's Deadliest Warrior tv show. I loved that show when they used all those different type of weapons on ballistic gels.
The new bo4 specialist🔫🔪
This just looks good to watch at 1am

You, sir, just earned yourself a new subscriber!
Welcome to GY6vids! Thanks for the support.
Rest In Peace Karl. You shall always be remembered in our hearts . 😢
Who teach you to throw? Those skills are awesome , seriously tho how did you learn
Studying/ Many Many Hours of Practice/ and all Self Taught. Thank you, Glad you enjoyed the video.
gerardo lopez flores do 2000 throws you start to get it figured out.
gerardo lopez flores a
Coach Lombardi used to say if you throw 300 balls at nothing you achieve nothing. You throw 300 balls through a tire and you achieve accuracy. Aim at nothing, and you're sure to hit it.
Who teach you English? That grammar is awesome!
Hey Andrew, your knife throwing is exceptional and I also couldn't ignore the fact that you sound a lot like Chris Evans and you got the same built as him as well.
this guy reminds me of Chris Hemsworth
FOXslip games he kinda looks like Yuri Boyka, but with no tattoos
More like Jason Mamoa
More like Mike tournabene
FOXslip games kinda
He reminds of Clove the girl from District 2 throwing knives from the Hunger Games.
Someone tell me how he hits it perfectly and not on the handle etc.
Jacob Mercer practice, he can probably tell how many spins the knife will do before it hits
Jacob Mercer same
Figure out how fast your weapon spins considering its weight and count the distance with steps. Then just throw it correctly but not into stuff like live wood or it'll damage it.
Marley Murray I've been throwing knives and hawks for 25+ years. Practice. the longer and heavier the throwing implement, the slower the rotation. very easy to figure out with practice. hawks, especially the traditional style he was throwing spin very predictably. Also, with hawks you can reverse your grip, and throw them with the bit facing back and get twice the sticking potential. based on how close you are. I can reliably and repeatedly stick hawks and big throwing knives out to 60 feet.
Tyson Lang Yeah i would guess after that long you would just know

Dude, you rock. Nice to see a friendly and informative video on products. I say informative because you have some things I never seen before. The "experts" who are slamming you are cheap entertainment. Strange how non of them have any videos to show all of us how it's "really done."
