I was going to say that 16ga is probably older than both his parents combined and birdshot is unlikely to ever prove itself in combat unless you count meeting a particularly aggressive pheasant but I just paid for the box of shells and left feeling dumber for being in his presence.

I always forget that .22 isn't on par with .223, to be honest... I mean .22 LR is puny in comparison to a .223 anything. Caliber vs casing length is hard to remember. @BornToRun and Christopher: I don't know for sure, but I am 99.999% sure that a 9mm bullet with a casing length of 50mm would be stronger than a 10mm bullet with a casing length of 19mm. Granted, that is dependent upon the powder you use, but I highly doubt there is any powder that could level that playing field in the modern era. Just like a 9x18mm is ALWAYS going to be weaker than a 7.62x51mm. Not that they would use 9x50mm bullets or anything, it's just a hypothetical way to make the caliber stronger than the 10mm. Mmm, maybe for mounted weapons, but we already have 5.56x45mm, as well as 7.62, so maybe 9mm would be superfluous?

As a left handed person, I can confirm that the right hip is absolutely the only correct place to carry. Upon drawing, an expert southpaw will toss the weapon behind their back from the right hand to the left hand with a maximum of 3.75 and a minimum of 2.75 rotations to provide the correct orientation upon catching the weapon with the correct hand. This process is reversed with the addition of rotating ones body to hole-in-one the weapon to maximize efficiency and reduce risk of misfire from operator error. Everyone knows the less you handle your weapon, the less likely you are to have an accident. You have to store up that proficiency and use it sparingly, and less physical contact with the weapon means less proficiency drained from the tank. Anything except this method is not only incredibly dangerous, and proves you are a right-brainer who doesn't deserve to handle a firearm.

Couldn't you afford a real quality gun like a Smith?" Even then I knew what a fantastic firearm the Sig was (is), but because I was a rookie, I was ignorant in their eyes.

HMB isn't so much an expert as much as just grievously confident he'll perform whatever crazy shit's on the agenda. Others gladly hold the beer, simply because there's a decent chance something will go humorously wrong, and no one's gonna pass up on a good story. At least, that's what I think

[@noandno9144]

BS there's no such thing as a "hold my beer" guy. that's just a meme

[@RobertMilesAI]

Best response to "there's no such thing" is "Wanna bet?". If you're going to talk to someone annoying you may as well make some money doing it

[@PaulHarrell]

Easier to do now that we're in the era of the smart phone. There have been a few times where someone will make a claim and I've pulled out a $100 bill and said, "I've got a hundred that says there is such a thing..." No one has made the bet.

[@kurt5079]

Judging by the dislikes 838 people realised Paul was talking about them :)

[@RobinPillage.]

first thing that came to mind. we'll never know for sure, but if we could, I'd lay bets in a heartbeat that at least 75% minimum were inspired by just that. then I'd double down and bet at least 75% walked away never thinking twice, wondering if they were ever that guy and continue on absolutely confident they really are the expert they think they are.

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

How many of them do you think are fellow You Tubers?

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

Actually the vast majority of the people, no scratch that, I mean men because I've never heard women talk like that, so the majority of these guys would never recognize that he's describing them. So they go on to comment on the noobs and other fakes as if they are the equivalent of Paul Harrell.

[@Jazzman-bj9fq]

@Kurt, omg I don't think I've ever seen a PH video with that many dislikes!!!! Hahaha!!!!

[@nickd1961]

LOL awesome

[@luaist]

I completely forgot he said “I’m on the range right now” and thought the gunshots & steel clinking was a gavel after every killing statement he made

[@kamikaze4172]

So I wasn't the only one who thought it was a gavel on that first point!

I invented firearm expertise.

[@autoracer350]

Not to bash or anything like that. It does look like you try all sorts of interesting tests and trials. But, I feel the invention of firearms expertise would be more appropriately credited to the likes of John Browning and Samuel Colt.

[@TheFifthLight]

Mr. Harrell, Your way of speaking allows you to take mental stock and keep your thoughts collected. The unique traits that we have are our advantages, not our disadvantages. You, sir, are my FAVORITE resource to go to if I want to watch a no-nonsense factual video that gives me the information I need to understand guns and make sure I can keep my family safe. Honestly you earned my belated subscription years ago, you've given me the confidence to protect myself and mine if the need arose. Thank you.

[@gingerhaggis8679]

@alex very well said my friend, I live in Scotland in the United Kingdom and even though I served in HM Armed Forces many years ago I am far from an expert, it would actually be hard to become an expert as the chances of getting your hands on any or the fire arms on this channel even just to hold is near on impossible, the gun laws across the water here are ......well........you can imagine so for information I like to come here and for fun I enjoy watching “Demolition Ranch”

[@kleenexbox974]

You wrote this like you were sending an email to your boss

[@ThanksforcensoringmeYoutube]

As a lefty, I have to thank you for standing up for us. The lack of acknowledgement of left-handed shooters by some major manufacturers is a cancer in the modern firearm industry. Don’t want to leave a percentage of potential shooters in the wind from birth if the goal is to arm as many individuals as you can.

[@308dad8]

That is an issue for y’all but I think the reason is because they would spend as much designing the guns to eject out the left and for a micro fraction of the potential population as what will buy the right handed versions. There are some guns though that naturally lend themselves to being ambidextrous shooters. Winchester Model 94 for example, Browning Pump Shotguns bottom feed and bottom eject. In fact you can still find them and Ithaca shotguns that bottom eject in pawn shops and used gun counters. Plus every model of break action rifle or shotgun.

[@ThanksforcensoringmeYoutube]

@@308dad8 it would cost a ton to tool up exclusively left-handed guns, but a lot more truly ambidextrous options are popping up. So that definitely solves a lot of it.

[@anthonyminarik1962]

Are you also Canadian? (Maybe with the recent spike in boat accidents?)

[@matthewphenix7952]

Having just recently started purchasing guns I’ve heard this happens quite a bit. I have been putting floaties on all of mine so I don’t lose them when I go out boat hunting for deer this fall. I was making a KZbin video to show how my floaties worked but dang if they didn’t all sink.

[@matthewphenix7952]

Robert Slackware Rookie mistake on my part I suppose. I’d tested them unloaded but didn’t think loading them would make that much of a difference. I’ll make sure that if and when I buy more I prep them for loaded floating. I have never done self loads before. I’ve always gone with manufacturers rounds. I’ve seen it done but haven’t got the budget for it since I have to repurchase all my guns again and none of the local store are well stocked.

[@xerwill]

My dog ate my guns...

[@TheMaineSurveyor]

I've had chats with most of these guys. The fifth guy stumped me the most. I mentioned shooting a .44 Magnum rifle. He said, "No such thing." I said, "I'm no expert, but this is a .44 Mag rifle right here."

[@CorePathway]

Well, he is right. There is no such thing as a .44 mag rifle. There are lever action rifles, bolt action rifles, auto, semi-auto and selectable fire rifles. There are also a few pump action rifles and double guns. Some of which may be available chambered in .44 mag

[@TheMaineSurveyor]

@@CorePathway Except that it is common vernacular to refer to a weapon by its caliber. Think of it as a type of spoken shorthand, or even slang, if that makes it clearer.

[@JM-dy4ty]

@@CorePathway so a 44 magnum rifle is just a rifle chambered in 44 magnum. It’s not really rocket science pal.

[@matthewjones39]

[@ben41281]

The words "I don't know" and "it depends" and "I'm not sure" and "let's look it up" are words that you actually want to hear from an expert. Because those words suggest they don't know it all, but are curious enough to research a question before answering.

[@bikerdude923]

I used to work in a gun shop and an by no means an expert, but I am pretty knowledgeable, I did my best to help customers, and yeah, when I didn't know something I would tell them then try and find the answer, not just to help them but so I could learn as well. It is always a good day to learn!

[@sethherron313]

If you don't want to learn you should stop living.

[@microwavedlunchbox4321]

Experts aren't machines that know everything on hand every single time you ask them something, Jeremy.

[@frysebox1]

Thoroughly understanding the mechanisms and concepts of whatever field you're an "expert" in, and remembering all the details are two different things. In most cases you'd probably be able to make an educated guess, and of course the more experience you have the more likely is it that you've been in touch with whatever the guy is asking you about. Smart people don't try memorizing everything, they make sure they understand whatever it is they're trying to learn, very specific details is something you look up in books or on the internet. So no, you're wrong. I'd rather hear an expert say "I don't know that for sure, but my guess is x based on what I know of y. I'd have to look it up to be sure though" in stead of making up bullshit because they're afraid you'd fault them for not being a high functioning autist.

[@jeremyjames1659]

Lunchbox. That means everyone can be an expert; just google the answers.

[@johannesherrmann2676]

There are people who are thankful to learn something they didn't know and are glad to be proved wrong. And there are people offended by new information, hating the fact that they didn't know better. Your clear language is a pleasure to listen, thank You!
