@uncletigger It strikes me that you aren't familiar with the game he is refering to, as the price of an item, and it is digital and pointless, I'll give you that, is not determined by a developer like in most others. Different items are more or less rare, and given Counter Stikes' status as an Esport, historically relevant, which dictates the price they are bought and sold for between players, collectors and traders. This price is, like most other things on the open market, directly linked to the worth and prestige people see in what they spend it on, which more than justifies the colloquial use of the word "worth". A player owning, say, an AK74 Case Hardened Scar pattern owns a digital item worth around 20,000 dollars of real money, not just a one-time purchase that goes up in smoke. Items from ten year old collections cannot simply be recreated, as the number of entities is artificially limited, and therefore owning them holds tremendous value to some, elevating them to status symbols worth as much as a rolex. It seems utterly bonkers, but given the history and place in the heart of many players of the game, the internal economy deals with similar principles as any other form of goods. There is no dictionary needed here, simply insight into the weird world of digital inventory being bought and sold for real money, making some people millionaires.

Five years later there is a change at the top, they still want the 5* service to the customer, they just want to make more money from it, so the pressure is on to save money. And instead of asking "What is the best material we can use for this" the question is "What is the most cost effective material we can use for this" For example, stopping using 302 Stainless and replacing it with 304

I've heard of cases where there ended up being production quality differences between first and second shift crews even, because one crew followed designs to the letter and the other decided they could run the production in a slightly different way and they failed to foresee how that would impact the process in full.

With the more effective guns they don't want to take the risk of any of them falling into the hands of terrorists or enemy militaries. A single one of these sniper rifles could lead to the deaths of dozens of British soldiers, and while they could just as well be using any other sniper rifle it's really not good to have your own guns being used to kill your soldiers. It is a shame that these guns were destroyed but their fear of it being used to kill British soldiers isn't unreasonable

I was an Armourer in Northern Ireland (1987) when we received 9 L96s to replace our L42s; we kept 3 and returned 6 as the quality was awful. I saw the threaded holes between the chassis and receiver that are mentioned, where the tip of the screw protruded into the bolt way causing gouges down the bolt! The bonding agent (Belzona Super Metal) that is supposed to sandwich between chassis and receiver was added later like a cosmetic feature, so the two parts were getting loose. When I first saw it, I thought it was utter crap. It was incredibly accurate though. Working on it was vastly different that the L42, which required considerable hand fitting of parts - a true 'craftsman's rifle' when you build one. I recall spending hours stoning parts to fit them... Interestingly, about 7 years later I was involved in a trial for a different kind of sniper rifle; I met Malcolm Cooper who told us the whole tale of AI's birth and the L96. He brought along a new product from AI - the AW. By comparison to the L96, the AW was mind-blowingly good. The quality was superb and it was incredibly easy to fire accurately, as was the L96. The 'design' would pave the way for the future AW-derived rifles and they were all excellent. When we saw the .338 Lapua Magnum AW rifle it blew away everything else and gave the Army a world class sniper rifle, which could reach out way beyond the capability of the 7.62mm.

I did a lot of shooting with the cadets in the early 2000s. I was sure that we had fired a 7.62 bolt action rifle with a later designation than the l42. It looks like we were (and cadets still are) firing the Parker Hale rifles with iron sights. It was great fun to shoot and spot out to 600m as a teenager in a country where access to firearms is otherwise so heavily restricted. I do wish I had been given the opportunity to shoot one of these just once though. Thank you for the video Ian, highly entertaining as usual.

Retired Royal Marine Commando/C Sqn SBS (1978-2008) lost track of the various firearms we used but this one was hoofing! Britain has a long history of producing incredible, often world beating engineering, with a a bloke or two working in a shed! Never underestimate the typical British bloke that enjoys tinkering with an idea he’s had especially when he has access to a shed (even a basic garden shed is often the place where great engineering starts to grow) but it can be occasionally derailed slightly whenever the Civil Service, Ministry of Defence, or a “proper” engineering company get involved, just as happened here. Its fascinating to recall that if it wasn’t for the profit chasing, penny pinching attitude of the “professional engineering company”, then the early rifles might not have caused the problems nor the injuries that colleagues might be affected by.

Ian, brilliant video. This is the first and will probably be the only time that I watch one of your videos and, after a few minutes, remember that I have fired the weapon you are describing. Late 1986, at the School of Infantry in Warminster, I was on the first platoon commanders' course issued with the SA80. We must have been doing a familiarisation shoot because we were on a 25m range. Next door were a bunch of trainee snipers* with this fancy looking new sniper rifle. Any other time they'd have had no interest in swapping rifles with a bunch of Ruperts, but they hadn't seen the SA80 either. So, under the supervision of our SASC instructors, we swapped weapons and fired a few rounds. 25m was not a very testing distance to fire a sniper rifle (frankly not much of a challenge for an SA80 either) but I can safely say I got my tightest ever group! A year later they were issued to my battalion. *I don't think that it's accurate to say that the RM delivered all sniper training. The Army would never have put up with that, and they certainly wouldn't have been at Warminster. They would have trained their own and I can quite imagine that they may have done some even more specialist courses. I did fire the No4-based L43 sniper rifle on a Battalion range day. I am sure that the NCO supervising that range took pleasure in letting me give myself a black eye when the scope hit me in the eye. Apparently they were usually fired with the aid of a sandbag or two.

One of my absolute favorite games is Space Engineers, and while it seems like there are just a few methods of doing something, you'll see something totally out of the box, and it's like a trillion lights in your brain suddenly flare, and you can't help going on a creative spree! I just love engineering, especially mechanical engineering, and I'm so thankful for Gun Jesus Ian and this wonderful channel! People who are anti-gun clearly don't appreciate engineering, and the symphony of mechanical purpose and timing that goes into even the most antiquated firearms. Even the engineering that goes into making an effective bow and arrows is truly magnificent. I'd be willing to bet a lot of advancements in military/warfare engineering has spilled over into every day use, be it the microwave, computer systems, advanced metals, and especially plastics. Weapons are only as evil as those who would wield them. Sure, one could argue they're engineered to end human life, but so what? Who's life? If you can end a mad man who's about to blow up a church or school with your precision rifle, isn't that worth the occasional maniac who shoots from a clock tower? Besides, the tool he's using can, in the hands of an honorable person, be used to stop him. Balance achieved. Well, I could rant forever about morality and human rights, but that's not what this is about; it's about engineering! Thank you again for providing such awesome content! I love this channel!

@@jamestarbet9608 The word 'gillie' isn't British, it's Scots Gaelic for 'boy'. It precedes Britain by centuries. Gillies became so called because they were simply referred to as 'boy' or servant in the Gaelic language. The reason the Lovat Scouts adopted the word is because many of them were Gaelic speakers and estate workers. The 'h' appears in some spellings of the word because people who don't speak Gaelic began using it and don't understand that the 'h' isn't part of the noun, it's a grammatical insert and is only used in certain cases, such as the dative and genitive. Using it in a noun on its own is basically a spelling mistake, which has stuck because most people don't know any better.
