Armed in 1918

Three choices a person might have made in 1918. There were other good choices, not doubt, but these would have been viable choices and were likely some of the choices made by a number of citizens at the time.
Armed in 1876: • Armed in 1876
Armed in 1988: • Armed in 1988

It'd be hilarious, if you did an "armed in Australia" video, you'd have no guns on the table. Self defence is almost illegal here... You can get charged for fighting off a home invader and they get Asya with their crimes... Hell, if you even MENTION a gun in a self defence situation you can be charged for it. It's unjust and our government is keeping us from being able to defend ourselves... Means we're easier to control. I'm hoping once this pandemic ends I can visit the US, maybe even live there one day, because I would feel much safer being allowed to defend myself. I love Australia, but when it comes to self defence? The US is truly the best. 🇦🇺🇺🇸

I really like the "armed in specific-year" format. I had an excellent conversation once with a man that had been a police officer in California during the Manson family murders. Lots of people that could afford whatever they wanted were suddenly very interested in the best weapons they could get hold of. As some suggestions, I'd love to see 'armed in' 1969, 2000, and 1950 (or some other early-post war year).

In their books-Street Stoppers and Stopping Power, authors Sanow and Marshall state they had not intended to include the .32acp in their shooting findings but after taking a look at how effective it was there decided to include it due to it's efficiency in stopping the threat. Although the books are old(+20 years), they are great reads about the development of modern day ammo via various tests other than the FBI one. It has great self defense stories of use in each caliber. Do not forget to do a-Armed in America Today series!

Hey Hickok can you do a video on the model 1897 (I believe). The shotgun that was able to slam fire and the Germans said was unfair to use in ww1

[@Zach_D]

He already made one

In Japan, Colt M1903 is famous as a movie stage gun. It seems that a pistol of this size was just right for a small Japanese to swing around in a movie.

[@revmarcell6449]

Open Text in the years leading up to WW2 Japanese officers had to purchase their own handguns along with their other kit. The Colt 1903 in .32 was very popular as was the FN 1910 and the Mauser 1910 an 1914. Not every Japanese officer liked the T14 Nambu

[@RUNIFLAVOR76]

I like the Spas-12, The Bullets Spreads.

[@TooFunkToDrunction]

Er. All shotguns do that

[@GameChanger-qi1uo]
