The folding chair. A lightweight, compact, yet sturdy design for a growing demand of a reliable portable seating item. Founded by Joseph Beverly Fenby, the fold-able chair was design around 1855. And patented by the British engineer in 1877. The chair was use to combat the needs of a portable, cheap seating item. Most commonly use for camping, holding large parties, and on the go it was one the remarkable weapon suitable for transportation. And sturdy enough to leave huge bruises on wrestling champions. The chair are typically made of aluminum for its phenomenal strength-to-weight ratio, and by today it is made out of hard plastic, metal or wood. Coated rip-stop nylon is the fabric of choice for the seating material durability, water resistance, and comfort. It usefulness in combat mark it stages as a unchallenged vanity weapon and tool. Can be wield one or two handed, it can be a effective blunt weapon, most commonly use as the weapon of choice among World Wrestling Entertainment players. In 1947, Fredric Arnold created the first aluminum folding chair with fabric strapping for the seat and back. By 1957, Fredric Arnold Company of Brooklyn, New York, was manufacturing more than 14,000 chairs per day. Today, the folding chair is mostly made of hard plastic or metal or wood.

Our stories began, in a time were words were not even invented yet. Caves, paleolithic and of course... primitive. At that time period, survival was a game of the fittest. Wild beasts wield claws, strong bodies and thick fur. The man, had none. It wasn't that long until humans realize they need a way to increase their lethality, or they'll be at the brink of extinction. Fortunately, the humans were pretty innovative. They quickly realized that with a simple stone, it almost doubles the lethal power of their fists, increasing material damage and can ensure a killing blow when struck correctly.

He took a break after season 3 ended. This is now the first Iconic Arms video of what I assume to be season 4. So, we should be expecting a whole bunch more of these to come out soon enough. :)
Ahoy's videos are made so far apart. Either he is putting a LOT of time into these videos (it shows) or some other reason. But whatever reason that is, i hope Ahoy is ok
If I had to guess he works in the industry (whether that’s video game, video production, etc...) so this is a passion project. On top of that, a “The first video game” video is totally going to be a deep dive. While I’d love a new video now, I know it’ll be worth the wait.

Very nice video Ahoy and it nice to see iconic arms return with a worthy weapon to kick it off.

@@Mit852 It's used for long distance roles that standard rifles like the M40 can't reach; It has more than twice the range. Rarely are anti-material rifles used for anti-material roles today.
The first* If you're gonna say the Fedorov Avtomat is the first, don't. It's not chambered in an intermediate round, and thus is disqualified to be an assault rifle.
@@brooksman10 That's not how that works... It was a full rifle caliber round back then and it is now. Just because it wasn't as big as the normal rounds of the era doesn't make it an intermediate round.
@Juan Sanchez Again, it wasnt really used that massively outside of the US, but it sure as hell is an iconic firearm of the US military that almost HAS to be the topic of one of his videos in the future ^^

@@Breakaway-ic5gj That's all you really need from Stuart. That man has the default voice of narration. When he speaks, the crowd shuts up and listens carefully.
Another great video. You're really good at making these videos. From the visuals, to the references, to voice work. It all just gives it that amazing feeling. I enjoy the references in movies and games and the history of the weapons shown. The little color pallets used to show the guns at times is also pretty neat and original to you. And your voice used to narrate it just fits so well with these weapons. On-top of that you give great narrations to go with that great voice. And last but not least the music that is played really fits well and sounds great. Cannot recommend this channel enough for how great these videos are made. Keep up the amazing work. Always look forward to seeing them in my subscription feed.
Rose Supreme Well he just uploaded one about the glock. As much as I do wish he would upload more, I understand that it takes time for him to really dig deep with his research which is what makes his content of such high quality. He doesn’t just google a gun and just read off the first website he comes across

@HentaiHistorian that set and the Gewehr 98 / Karabiner 98k would make two good videos. I'm thinking an SA80 (L85, L86) video could be alright, or maybe SCAR, P220 series, M249, Super 90 etc
Steven Bobby Bills I’d say the M249 and the P220 series are in good order. Personally, I’d like the Barrett M82, the Glock series, the G36, the Draugonov (dunno if I spelled that right), or a personal favorite- the Walther PPK or the Makarov. Come to think of it, the pump-action shotgun deserves some love as well.

Nope, only you read video descriptions.
I never, EVER thought that this would return, please keep this going
Ahoy is without a doubt making THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST quality content in youtube. He genuinely needs more than 50M subs
He needs to start uploading xaxaxa
@@windex1613 I mean yeah but he makes everything by hand. All his animations, script, game play,editing. Trust me as an editor that takes wayy longer than a few months
Momo Bobo why doesn’t he use others gameplay? I don’t have to cringe at his csgo crosshairs, he gets more videos done. Easy
tell pewdiepie to review his channel.
can somebody please tell me the name of the intro music please?
I wonder if he will return, sad the algorithm doesn't give more attention to these well liked, entertaining, informative, high quality videos.
It has over a million views..
I don't think child friendly censorship helps this channel out when the subject matter is killing machines
Just made a video yesterday
He could try googling the subject for a few minutes to be sure he doesn't come out with mis-information, this is my first of his videos and, well, he could use a fact-checker, and needs to be clearer when what he is saying is his subjective opinion and not a fact.
It feels like RUclips's algorithms give all attention to garbage clickbait videos that waste everyones time.

i like how this went from history to video games
Stuart Brown began his channel as a video game review & commentary space. The "Iconic Arms" series is rooted in this, but expands to talk about the real world origins and history.
The first scene of this video is basically a fucking video game
His name used to be “XboxAhoy” and his channel was gaming focused. Pretty sure he still plays them, he just make gaming videos anymore.
are videogames not part of history?
That's how he does ALL his weapon-related documentaries.
I love the smell of an Ahoy video in the morning. Smells like... Perfection
no thats what I smell like. but the perfection bit is more like fucking horrifically depressed heap of shit.

Very nice video Ahoy and it nice to see iconic arms return with a worthy weapon to kick it off.
Also thanks for showing the similarities in the use of the mp-40 from the E-5 blaster in starwars and witch further recognizes George Lucas's inspiration from ww1-2 for arguably the most popular scifi movie ever created

Am I the only one that want the SA80 and the M1014?
I want to see the big daddy sniper rifle. The Barrett M82 .50 Cal Rifle, or what I personally like to call it, “The Penetrator”.
He has a video on AWM
If you don’t call it “The Penetrator” your not cool
It's not a sniper rifle
@@Mit852
It's used for long distance roles that standard rifles like the M40 can't reach; It has more than twice the range. Rarely are anti-material rifles used for anti-material roles today.
The Derp Chaos .50 Cal is actually nothing compared to ultimate rifle caliber, the PTRS 14.5x114mm
*HE'S BACK!*
He’s like John wick
Everything is deadly
Yes
Now we just need the STG 44, one of the first assault rifles.
The first* If you're gonna say the Fedorov Avtomat is the first, don't. It's not chambered in an intermediate round, and thus is disqualified to be an assault rifle.
@@nrverinder what was cartriges was it chambered in?
@@nrverinder Eh, at the time it was though. 6.5 Arisaka is quite a bit smaller than .30-06, .303, or 8x57 Mauser.

@@brooksman10 That's not how that works... It was a full rifle caliber round back then and it is now. Just because it wasn't as big as the normal rounds of the era doesn't make it an intermediate round.
The boy Ahoy returning from his trip to the past, back again to bring us excellent content.
To play some awesome games that aren't ass.
This didn't show in my sub box, and I'm pissed.
You haven't uploaded in like a year what happened
Completely agree actually. A fucking outrage honestly.
SAME!
Why do people care about a sub box? if you like the youtuber you will watch the videos eventually. No need to watch it instantly.
Same
I have suggestions/request for this series:
1- Glock 17
2- .50 Barrett
Barret hasnt achieved that legendary status, give it around 5-10 years and it'll be one.
Holly Crap he just did the Glock 17 yesterday
.50 isnt weil known outside of the US, only like 5 countries use it
@Juan Sanchez Again, it wasnt really used that massively outside of the US, but it sure as hell is an iconic firearm of the US military that almost HAS to be the topic of one of his videos in the future ^^

He was definitely saying that in the nicest possible way lol

Another great video. You're really good at making these videos. From the visuals, to the references, to voice work. It all just gives it that amazing feeling. I enjoy the references in movies and games and the history of the weapons shown. The little color pallets used to show the guns at times is also pretty neat and original to you. And your voice used to narrate it just fits so well with these weapons. On-top of that you give great narrations to go with that great voice. And last but not least the music that is played really fits well and sounds great. Cannot recommend this channel enough for how great these videos are made. Keep up the amazing work. Always look forward to seeing them in my subscription feed.
That's how the pros work.
First time watching this channel because of Recommended Tab and it seems like Im quite at the right time
Glad to see RUclips recommending good content
Do watch the older videos. Dude has some top quality content.

Rose Supreme Well he just uploaded one about the glock. As much as I do wish he would upload more, I understand that it takes time for him to really dig deep with his research which is what makes his content of such high quality. He doesn’t just google a gun and just read off the first website he comes across
@@NepSpoon He also has a family, children

Awesome video. It's like the series never left at all.
This weapon broke COD: World at War.
Imagine giving an SMG 42 damage without stopping power

Really? You're History class is based around German firearms? Lucky bastard
Now you have to make video about the STG-44
The mg42 should be next
I would like for him to make a video about the Dragunov Sniper Rifle, he hasn't made any sniper videos other than the Arctic Warfare Rifle, iirc.
He will, in about 3 years time.....
I always wondered what made the Kriss Vector popular and how its ammunition brought back relevance even after the discontinuation of the M1911 from US troops in the 80s/90s and the Thompson submachine gun even earlier
The legend is back, remember listening to this guy in the early bo1 days, what a throwback to hear this voice!!!!!!!!!

Awesome! I’m so happy to see the return of the series. (Kriss Vector or riot.)
I love the KRISS Vector but I’m not sure if it’s too “iconic” as it’s fairly recent design and hasn’t seen too much military or police use.
@HentaiHistorian that set and the Gewehr 98 / Karabiner 98k would make two good videos. I'm thinking an SA80 (L85, L86) video could be alright, or maybe SCAR, P220 series, M249, Super 90 etc
Steven Bobby Bills I’d say the M249 and the P220 series are in good order.
Personally, I’d like the Barrett M82, the Glock series, the G36, the Draugonov (dunno if I spelled that right), or a personal favorite- the Walther PPK or the Makarov.
Come to think of it, the pump-action shotgun deserves some love as well.
I really wish Ahoy still made videos. They're all straight bangers. Excellent sound editing, great voiceover, amazing visuals. Every 6 months or so I just let the whole-ass playlist go.
