quite old it all depends on what makes something interesting what you will not find here is politics uh i have political views they're mine and i keep them off the channel so some of the guns that we look at are associated with some pretty divisive political events i will do my best to recite the facts and just the facts ma'am and leave the decision making and the politicking to you i am changing the schedule of the show slightly for NUMBER_TOKEN and we're in fact dropping from six videos a week down to five so that i can spend some time on a bunch of other projects that i have going on and i'll talk about all those in just a moment so for NUMBER_TOKEN you will get five videos a week although one of them is going to be exclusively for supporters of the show be they on patreon utreon or floatplane so you'll get on every monday a video about a particular interesting firearm on tuesday a book review video and that will be exclusively for channel and website supporters on wednesday a commentary video this is similar to what i've been doing on tuesdays and thursdays in previous years where it might be a q a it might be a commentary on current events or maybe a commentary on a generally misunderstood subject any number of things that i find interesting thursday will be a day off friday you will get another video about an interesting firearm and saturday will be a day out at the range where we'll actually do some shooting with something sometimes it'll be the gun that we took a look at on the proceeding friday sometimes it'll be something totally different i have two specific other endeavors that i'm working on which frankly both of which could be full-time jobs that i would like to dedicate more time to this year and that's part of the reason that i'm stepping down from six to five videos a week one of those is the archive project and i spoke about this last year but didn't have enough time to actually make it happen last year and that's something i would like to change for NUMBER_TOKEN. the archive project is an effort on on my part to go back to the roots of forgotten weapons a bit and rebuild a website archive for primary resources ideally original testing documents photographs and other information surrounding the whole world of interesting well forgotten weapons historic firearms so i am hoping to soft launch that in the next couple of weeks in the first month or two of NUMBER_TOKEN and hopefully it shouldn't be long after that that we're able to open it up to the general public and my goal is to be able to spend some time collecting tabulating and posting online as much as i possibly can in the way of first-hand primary source material for folks who are interested in firearm historical firearms research the other major project i have going on that's eating into some of my time is headstamp publishing uh if you watched last year's state of the channel video there was one book up there there are now two books up there uh including a reprint and my own second book is at the printer as i film this and that is pistols of the warlords domestic chinese handguns NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN which was a really fun project to write and i have found that i
START_SELFPROMO_TOKEN we're in fact dropping from six videos a week down to five END_SELFPROMO_TOKEN BETWEEN_SEGMENTS_TOKEN START_SELFPROMO_TOKEN so for NUMBER_TOKEN you will get five videos a week although one of them is going to be exclusively for supporters of the show be they on patreon utreon or floatplane END_SELFPROMO_TOKEN BETWEEN_SEGMENTS_TOKEN START_SELFPROMO_TOKEN on tuesday a book review video and that will be exclusively for channel and website supporters END_SELFPROMO_TOKEN BETWEEN_SEGMENTS_TOKEN START_SELFPROMO_TOKEN and that's part of the reason that i'm stepping down from six to five videos a END_SELFPROMO_TOKEN BETWEEN_SEGMENTS_TOKEN START_SELFPROMO_TOKEN the other major project i have going on that's eating into some of my time is headstamp publishing uh if you watched last year's state of the channel video there was one book up there there are now two books up there uh including a reprint and my own second book is at the printer as i film this and that is pistols of the warlords domestic chinese handguns NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN which was a really fun project to write and i have found that i END_SELFPROMO_TOKEN
