Do you have the link to his personal channel that has the models?

[@KretinD]

I remember when I started watching mishaco. It took about three videos for me to realize Misha was blind. The delicate way he navigates firearms with his fingers is mesmerizing.

[@schrodingersgat4344]

Only took me, one. [I just thought he was hiding the effects of a blunt with the glasses.] Chilliest gun channel on earth.

[@texaspatriot9159]

His voice is so relaxing

[@ericfogle4965]

I thought he was just an awkward dude, then he mentioned something about being blind and I thought he was half joking then I thought about it an was like oh shit it all makes so much sense..

[@rdh5961]

Misha is my favorite historian and gun reviewer. I truly appreciate his content

[@johnqpublic2718]

When did he release a book or otherwise academic article?

[@allothecheekclapper]

[@9HPodcast]

I mean i can ask him if he ever did firearms publications, but his masters is in History and he used to be a history teacher/professor before he was doing any firearms stuff.

[@johnqpublic2718]

I'm just genuinely curious to check out anything he's written. I didn't know he was a historian. I didn't even know his government name before this video's upload. Lecturing about the development of a firearm from your kitchen table is one thing, publishing a book or article complete with citations, footnotes, annotated bibliography, et al. is another. I'd love to read a thesis, article, book, anything. Edit: He's got a masters; he's written at least something.

@@johnqpublic2718 Faraday is one of the most prolific scientists and the man that is solely responsible for most basic laws of electro magnetism such as faraday’s law of induction and more which paved the way for electric motors and generators didn’t even come up with the math for his observations … he had the facts but since he wasn’t academically trained he couldn’t put it into formulas … yet Einstein had a picture hanging on his wall for faraday… papers my friend are ONE way to package information it is very important too however not everything has to be published a reviewed by peers to be valuable and appreciated

[@KneeStrikes]

I didnt know Misha is blind?!?! I've been watching him for years lol..

[@T7_H3rbz]

Bro, same

[@9HPodcast]

we actually talk about that too, he rarely mentions it in his videos, so many find out half way through following him and end up realizing that he has a whole new "outlook" and appreciation for good and poor machining.

[@jimmyhoffa2816]

Ya missed a lot of q&as and the homescreen video, and a lot of mid video referances then lol. It comes up a fair amount. Never wondered why he taps the table to locate the peice, or sometimes the item isnt fully in frame. The dudes impressive for that alone, how he does his research with text to speech, thats got to take so much longer then scanning a page for relevant information. And yet hes amassed incredible knowledge and detail. The dudes seriously impressive even without the setbacks.

[@petesheppard1709]

He jokes about it regularly. 😎

[@T7_H3rbz]

@jimmyHoffa just shows how much I was paying attention 😅 also never watched one of his Q&As or seen the homescreen video. 😬

[@Chiller01]

I’ve been subbed to Mishaco for some years. He brings such a humble yet deeply knowledgeable affect to his channel.

[@ShootAUT]

I just love how he can tell you the tiniest little details about guns you have at home yourself, but never even noticed before, by _actually feeling_ the gun. I've "felt" the finger grooves of my M24/52-Č countless times, but, if it wasn't for Misha, I probably still wouldn't have realized that the ones on the lefthand side of the rifle go a bit further forward, like on all vz. 24 rifles. And the Q&A he did with WBP? Priceless, like so many other videos. Thank you, William, for sharing your knowledge!

[@ericlindholm7510]

Misha is outstanding. Saw a Clayco podcast recently where he played a Guns of the world video of a PPSH, & Misha knew a drum magazine's sound, which helped him i.d. the firearm. Thank u for the video!

[@BNatoAk]

Ya that was a cool podcast for sure!!

[@SlavicCelery]

Love Misha, he is even is active in the comments. He's followed up with questions on videos that I've thrown comments on. He's an impressive guy to follow on KZbin.

[@slowbutsure504]

I remember when i first discovered Misha, i even asked in the comments what was with glasses because i didn't know, Misha is such a gem in this industry.

[@jimmyhoffa2816]

"the history i like, the future i like, its the present im not always so sure about". Thats a phrase il have to remember.

[@podpindosnic]

I have been watching Mishaco's videos periodically for a few years but only this week I started to suspect that Mishaco was blind. That is why I searched and found this video Today. I learned a lot about him from this extreamly informative video. I started to respect this man even more then before. Thanks! 👏🤝

[@petesheppard1709]

BRAVO! The recognition is long overdue. I have often wondered what William perceives when he fires a gun with his highly developed touch and hearing, and not distracted by sight.

[@dragonstormdipro1013]

The actual AK jesus....and a person I legitimately view as an inspiration

[@TK-rz6hj]

Duuuuude, that intro was amazing, Henry. Honestly, that’s some great work. It’s great to see a spotlight put on Mishaco, he’s a wealth of knowledge and seems to be a really cool guy

[@pbbananas]

I am continually impressed by the content put out by 9hole. Compared to other content, I’m continually mentally engaged by both the media itself as well as the topics.

[@CheenusBoof]

This is a Book of Eli moment lol. I thought the glasses were just adding character

[@cajuncatfish5417]

Mishaco is a great guy. Great to see you and him collaborating.

[@phillipk1258]

Misha! Thanks for getting together. #NewsletterGang

[@StrangerOman]

I think I heard about Mishaco before, but never watched his videos. Definitely a highlight.

[@schrodingersgat4344]

Misha is great. Solid dude. Better informed than most people in the industry.

[@NoName-en9jp]

Misha, you bloody absolute legend! You will have my utmost respect forever for your enthuisiasm for firearms.

[@blackbird_actual]

Mishaco - "Arms Dealer" made me lol. Made me think of Misha as Nic Cage in Lord of War.

[@Arkeo36]

Misha is the best guntuber and nobody else is close

[@bukovacremodel2204]

Thank you 9 H. And Mishaco. The best questions for the best guntuber. I love you guys

[@lancekilkenny721]

Every time I've spoken to William, he has always been helpful. Awesome human!

[@tomchepey2999]

Great interview. You did a really good job and I appreciate Mishaco and admire his knowledge. I am visually impaired and he impresses the hell out of me.

[@brandonalmeida5493]

I've always watched him and was very pleasantly surprised how much knowledge he drops

[@dksix1905]

I've only watched a 3-5 of his videos while recently researching a Pioneer Arms 5.56. I thought the same thing about the glasses but did notice the way he felt of the gun and wondered if he had vision problems. I worked with a guy who drove but was "legally" blind in some aspect, so I was aware of there being a range within the term blind.

[@buildingglocks5797]

Mishaco is the GOAT he knows all about AKs

[@peterconnan5631]

I am in awe! Well done Mishaco.

[@mattmorrison9379]

Another great podcast Henry. Well done, great questions.

[@JellyMach]

I’ve seen a couple of his videos here and there and was always impressed with the quality. I had no idea he was blind.

[@44CoReY44]

Despite being legally blind his whole life, Mishako is still a better shot than Mark Hertling

[@9HPodcast]

oooofffff

[@pictish02]

A couple of great blokes .

[@texaspatriot9159]

I can listen to misha talk for hours

[@dragdragon23]

I just now know he's blind, I never knew and I thought the sun glasses was him trying to look cool! He's amazing and he has more and better guns than I do!

[@cheesenoodles8316]

I also did not know he was blind. Historic military firearms up to the sixties is my interest.

[@mrstampercn]

I think Mishaco is an American treasure

[@fireman305]

Yes! Great guest!

[@shooter-observer1]

wow I did not know he was blind! much respect!!

[@petesheppard1709]

He actually cracks jokes about it fairly often.

[@shooter-observer1]

@@petesheppard1709 Im only a couple years into the online gun community and have casually watched a few of his rifle comparison vids, inspiring to say the least!

[@petesheppard1709]

@@shooter-observer1 I agree completely. I may have to run out to Arkansas to visit his shop.

[@franzkoviakalak6981]

Misha is an extraordinary individual.

[@brianmessick5979]

Loved the opening tribute to Misha

[@sork23]

Great work in so many ways...

[@aragon2552]

Amazing episode.

[@mikepair9243]

Great video!

[@Mjdeben]

I like to think of him more as an Oracle than a blind man.

[@Mag_Aoidh]

I’ve watched him for years and I’ve always struggled to understand how he can understand something so much and not be able to see it

[@ElTejon47901]

"They don't give guns to 3 year olds, even in Arkansas." ***Indiana confused*** Why the heck not???

[@BNatoAk]

Excellent podcast!

[@MrKronikDeception]

History is the most interesting thing to ever happen.

[@johndaugherty4127]

Misha transcends eyes.

[@dan6163]

I been watching him for years and didn’t even know this

[@altairibnlaahad9348]

Literally “Zattoichi” with an AK!

[@Excalibur01]

Mishaco is awesome

[@felix4820]

Amazing

[@djdrack4681]

Never heard of a blind guy that was a gun enthusiast, let alone Mishaco's channel. Before clicking on this I was like "a blind dude that's a gun expert?...that'd be like a nun who's an expert at BJs" Sure its possible, just very unlikely. lol After watching this I've found that the dude seems pretty legit...Now I just have to debunk this nun myth somebody started ;P

[@donkeypunch5138]

holy shit is he really blind? I though he was going for the terminator look and I'm not even joking. I feel fucking horrible now.

[@devil5cry]

-Must be a Real good MGer-

[@Khanclansith]

I always wondered if he was blind in his videos

[@EvanDickersonM81]

We'll today I learned.

[@David-cj8wv]

Anyone else also just now finding out Misha is blind?

I just thought he had terrible vision not full on blind.
