Before I watched the video, just looking at the questions, I really like your choices.

Michael James Blum

Oooh, the Madsen ejects downward, and is short ... imagine a Madsen-system bullpup.

Guido Schriewer

better do MORE bullpups in 762 to take advantage of OAL.--- oh man gear for guns would be a bottomless hole for sure! impossible to get to all of it for sure.--- can't see much reason but sights to update an ak. still does what it was made to do. why change the furniture at all on one?---several "new" HP versions. cool. how about the VERY slim 1903 hammerless updated? that would be neat.---give say 6 of 10 guys some 203 sort of unterslung light simple shotgun thing. though I assume the issue is to see a drone rather than to shoot it.

Dana Arbeit

I really enjoyed this video and learned a lot. Thank you.

Ryan Thorne

Usage significantly effects barrel life. Blasting away until the barrel glows will trash a barrel in short order.

Oh! I was pleasantly surprised my question about ambi-bullpups was in. It's missing a time stamp between anti-drone and American proof houses. I phrased it badly as usual. Like with brass catchers, you couldn't kick the case to the side, then have something to funnel it down. But I guess it would widen the weapon, and increase the chances of the case just bouncing right back in the action?
