Frequently Asked Questions Part 8 (800k Subscriber Special)

[@PaulHarrell]

Hey everyone; Don't get me wrong, video games can be fun. but like anything else, they become destructive for people who take it to extremes. Like the patient who had rampant decay due to poor dental hygiene and excessive drinking of mountain doo. He considered his decay a badge of honor because it showed his dedication to video gaming as he proudly proclaimed, "I'm a gamer!" Don't feel offended if you play video games. I'm not denigrating your character. But if you're one of those people who Really thinks that you're ready for the apocalypse because you played call of halo zombie duty, then perhaps you should reevaluate your training. Also, I misspoke about Nintendo 64. It was a different game system.

[@sasqetshenkley1190]

Video games are medium, like literature or film. There seems to be a (or several) non-dental underlying issue(s) with that patient.

One of the things that bugs me when I play videogames is putting half a clip of rifle ammo into center mass of a bad guy and they don't go down. Some designers have no clue.

Yes video games are fun, but even the most realistic ones don't hold a candle to real life experience.

And then those same channels have to talk to you in extreme closeup to tell you what they are going to talk about before they talk about it (the talking head routine). What's beautiful about a Paul Harrell video is it's zoomed out a bit and the scenery is just gorgeous.

What is criminal is YT demonetizing all of the gun-related videos so that guys like Paul have to seek out other forms of income on their channels. YT makes a ton of money off channels like this, yet they don't pass any on to those building the content.

[@Keiko_Kitsune]

Paul, no matter how obvious the subject matter may appear, I really appreciate your analytical approach to every situation. My personal favorites were you "engaging a soda bottle with and without a .22," Shooting from your bed out on the range, going to such a great length on recording .22 reliability, and demonstrating different situations with keeping a round chambered vs unchambered. You always put everything to the test and never act conceited when speaking to us. Your firearms knowledge experience and training is one thing that I like, but a huge thing that keeps me coming back to you is your personality. You hold my attention with your "this is the boring part where I talk" far more then any other gun youtuber. In my opinion, you've hard earned every subscriber and deserve more. I really do hope your situation gets better, because you're a great guy and its been a whole lotta fun listening to you. And even though you've had different experience education and training, youre my favorite source of information hands down. I'm happy for you!

I have learned a tremendous amount from Paul and his website. I am an educated person but no firearms expert, and I currently live in a very anti-gun state in the Northeast, where it is very difficult to even practice shooting skills and retaining memberships to gun ranges. I have had direct questions that I have pondered for long periods of time in many of Pauls quality productions answered. He should be congratulated for taking so much of his own personal time to produce so much great information in the often conflicting arena of firearm usuage. Thanks Paul!

[@johnm4010]

I'm guessing Massachusetts where LTC are subjectively approved. I recently came up from Texas where I had several choices of gun ranges w/o membership close by.

[@bravofighter]

As a New Yorker, I completely agree. People who live in more free states don’t have a clue how restrictive it is here, or why we stay here. Long story short, it’s really, REALLY beautiful here, we usually have family who are counting on us, and a career/home we can’t easily part with. I make $34 per hour breaking concrete, and in Florida or Texas that would be $12. I love both states, but I can’t provide for my family that way, we still own guns, they’re just a challenge to train with.

"I don't need any help in that category"- that is pure Paul gold there. Yes there are a wide variety of firearm types and operations, humans seem to be very good at making things complicated. For a good game I think a person could lay out a good variety of semi autos, get a stopwatch, then time each contestant trying to find the operating handle of each one. Or lay out a variety of autoloading handguns and have the person determine which ones have manual safeties and which ones do not. I notice that you are very tough on plastic tables.
