Zach's Gun Rants 3: Triple Threat-Army Combat Veteran REACTS!

48 Comments

1. Just realized Zac is wrong about his definition of single/double action. It is defined by trigger movement not hammer movement

2. Forgotten Weapons video on the P90 will tell you everything you need to know.

3. Man, you really like the sound of your own voice don't you?
   It's one thing to react to a video, but you keep going on 5-10 minutes of random talks in the middle of the video, watch maybe 30 seconds, and then start another loooooong talk about something uninteresting.

   To be clear, your video popped into my feed, i decided to give it a chance. Your format of long talks with 10-30 seconds of video in between rants is not for me.

4. Just imagine paul having a third of the world's gold supply as represented in the inset at 1:08…

6. A lot of the weird unrealistic guns (10mm pistol or 12.7mm pistol) are taken straight from the oldne fallouts from the 90's, so make sure to cut em some slack

7. Now, when he was talking about the colt revolver, and his buddy said "colt is a very reliable name" im assuming u have some experience with Colt rifle which in assuming were the infantry rifle, being…..well…..unreliable compared to the enemies AK's that they had.

8. Colt was actually bought by CZ. I wonder if it had any effects yet.

9. colt manufacturing ltd is currently owned by Česká zbrojovka Group and i think samuel colt would be rolling in his grave at the state of the guns that bear his name

10. on the guy that basically bullied Smith and Wesson (he did this with colt too, both finally got him to shut up the same way). His name is Elmer Kieth, and he's widely regarded as one of the last old school cowboys. He did a lot in firearms, and wanted to pop predators and rodents that threaten his herd. He LOVED his single action army revolvers, and kept up loading the powder charge until one of them blew up on him. There are videos on youtube about both his detonated single action army and the gun that would eventually become the Smith and Wesson model 29. As we all know, that's dirty harry's gun.

11. Paul, Re: the magazine functionality of the P90 — Arm & Gun just did a short on unusual mags, here the link (the visuals really help imho):

12. Paul's getting good with that photoshop 👌

13. Mario Party was never big among my group of friends growing up. We wrecked our hands during beam clashes in Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 on the PS2 as teens though lol fortunately the Dualshock 2's analog sticks have rubber craps so it's pretty hard to get a blister. until they rip off or wear away, then they'll make you bleed lol

    Edit and potential trigger warning sensitive subject incoming:

    I had a mental health crisis a few years sgo, first thing I did when I realized things were getting bad was get the guns out of the house, and I didn't bring them back for the five years I was getting treatment.
    During the beginning, getting the proper medication was difficult, more than once I was put on medications that either made my existing symptoms worse or introduced new symptoms, it took more than two years, multiple individual doctors, therapists, and the teaching hospital at the nearby university before I even got a correct diagnosis.
    Long story short, if there were guns in the house in that timeframe, I'd be dead, no doubts about it. I could always take my head out of the noose and climb off the stool I was gonna hang myself with, untie the bag around my head before I suffocated, put my hands back on the wheel and my foot off the gas before crashing my car, and puke the pills I took to OD out when the will to live overwhelmed the call of the void, but I could have never unpulled the trigger that expanded my mind across a wall.

14. So Triple action actually exist, it's just rare and only used on semiautomatics. So basically Triple action only really helps the trigger pull of the first shot of the gun. So on double action pistols, the trigger is often harder to squeeze because it's moving the hammer back. A Triple action gun let's you cock the gun, bring the hammer back down without firing, and now it's basically a double action gun with a single action trigger pull.

15. Honey Badger over here like: "OK. You just try and use anything short of an elephant rifle."

16. Not sure if anyone has said it but Colt was purchased by CZ and from what I heard quality dropped significantly worse then the bad it already was
    Edit your idea about the safety notch on a hammer mechanism is already a thing for single action revolvers

17. Hey sir I have a Walther ppk from the Vietnam war and it’s a pure black pistol

18. @5:10 I treat my old craftsman tools like gold, broke an old wrench years ago and had to tell myself it's fine

19. the double action/single action argument gave me cancer, he could have made easier by focusing on the trigger not the hammer. "what does the trigger do: single action it only releases the hammer, with double it pulls back and releases; 2 actions" the browning hi power, just also has a slide that is designed to push the hammer back automatically every time it fires.

20. 10:58 well yeah the SAA had been around since 1872, but the design for the single action revolver had been around since 1836 (Colt Paterson Revolver) had a folding trigger, and didn’t really sell well.

21. I think the 12.7mm was based off of one of the guns from Blade Runner.

22. How did i get economic lesson on a gun rant video?….

23. There is a video out there that explains the history and the mechanics of the FN P90 it is from a channel called Ahoy. You should react/watch it sometime to learn something new.

24. For detailed and entertaining information about the p90 I recommend a video simply called "p90" by Ahoy. Matter of fact he has an interesting collection of videos about other weapons too like Glock or Colt 1911 for his "Iconic arms" series.

25. Guy we get it you're jealous of Jeffery you don't have talk about him in a video about a rant about guns in a video game

26. I think i heard Triple acktion exist but i think it was a French Thing !

27. but The Wood Canon from Mythbusters have Work !

28. .40 Smith and Wesson, AKA .40 Short and Weak, is 10mm. .40 S&W is far more popular than regular 10mm, but it in itself IS 10mm. So yes. 10mm is popular.

29. 14:27 The Chinese and Japanese laugh at your science. They made functioning wooden cannons. The Chinese even made the first rocket launchers OUT OF WOOD.

    Of course they weren't very accurate and their range was lacking, but they worked…. sometimes.

    Oh God. That reminds me that someone made cannons out of leather. They were never massed produced, but I think they worked… sort of.

30. The most popular repeating firearm early post Civil War era was actually one that was manufactured during the war. The Spencer Repeating Rifle.

    I believe the reason was because it was cheaper than other lever action rifles of the time. The ammunition was also far less fragile than paper cartridges.

31. The precious metal and gemstone market relies entirely on one or two big companies hoarding all the metals and gemstones, thus keeping them rare. And only sprinkling a little bit out at a time.

32. 10:10 dude. I got blisters and tore off like a 1.5 square inch area of skin off my palm doing that, too.

33. Our suicide rates are nowhere near as high many other countries and even then alcohol and prescription medicine are more dangerous as they alter the brain chemistry.

34. Money isn't real because currency has no intrinsic value. It's just numbers associated with an account or pieces of cloth. This is a terrible way to base a society.

35. The reason Zank knows so much about guns is that he was in small arms repair for pretty much all of his military career, and he also works in a gun shop as well.

36. If you want a clear explanation of how the P90 works check out Ian's video on it, on his YouTube channel Forgotten Weapons.

37. "Jesus nuts" and "Jesus pins" are, depending on who ask, either called that because that's what you exclaim when they come loose, or because when they do that's the next person you're meeting. The Jesus nut, for example, is the one that holds the rotor blades onto a helicopter.

38. 1:34 Deflating the market by selling a bunch of gold? That sounds like a Mansa Musa moment.

39. Zach didn't do a very good job explaining the single action vs. double action concept. It's all about what pulling the trigger causes. If the trigger just drops the hammer to fire the cartridge, it's single action. If the trigger can cock the hammer and drop it in one smooth motion, then double action. The 9mm pistol shown is single action cause the trigger just releases the hammer/striker, while the slide recoiling re-cocks the hammer.

40. The 1911 is not that bad to take apart. There is one pin, it’s reasonably sized, once the slide is held in the right place it comes out relatively easy. The only difficulty I’ve had in disassembly and reassembly is the pin can be difficult to put back in place (this probably just because mine is older), and if your not careful you could accidentally launch the spring across the room. Which I have done at one point.

41. Might about the sight radius:

    It might come from the "sight radius difference/increment/delta" seen as from the pov of the shooter.
    Eye is radius 0
    First sight is whatever length as long as a arms length (70cm)
    Second sight is about the end of the gun (+20 cm more) so the sight radius in this case might be 20 and if it were 5 it would be crappy for aim mechanics

42. Is it the armadillo that is bulletproof or another animal but if you want to shoot it you need a 20 mm so round

43. You should react to this video : https://youtu.be/Ki4qTDJfT2M
    It's middle part definitely has a lot material that only a veteran could react to.

44. 22:07 My dad told me 'never climb a tree to escape a bear because a black bear will climb the tree and eat you and a brown bear will knock down the tree and eat you'.

45. While I never heard of anyone hurting their palm on Mario Party 1 & 2, the N64 controllers suffered because of those games. The spinning mini games wore out the joystick so badly that after a few months, all of my friend's controllers had weak springs, and the joystick just flopped around.

46. most six-shooter are actually 5 shooter, cause safety. you really wouldn't want to hammer to rest on live round. in order to shoot yourself in leg or your horse while carrying it.

47. Not sure I agree with your antigun points. The CDC has hard data on suicides, and while, yes, 75% of them are with firearms, I'd much rather someone does that, then jumps in front of traffic, causing massive injuries and possible loss of life to others, as well. Japan has a suicide stat higher than pretty much any other country, and they don't allow firearms at all.

    You can't fix a social issue by trying to red flag away pieces of metal. These are deep-seated issues, usually having to do with either gold diggers destroying the lives of men, or poverty (I almost became the victim of the latter). Those are the leading causes of suicide, and the stats support that. When a person believes they have no future and that the remainder of their life is meaningless and their suffering is all for naught, they will find a way. Ask Japan.

48. I think making bullets longer rather than wider is partly a matter of the physics for how much pressure is behind the round. If it's longer and narrower, there's a lot more pressure and force being focused to a smaller point.
