Hickok45

[Nimsky]

I just had to share this YouTube channel I recently discovered with you guys. Hickock45, one of the coolest people on the internet. He loves guns, especially the classic ones, but he's fond of some of the newer designs such as the Glock as well. He cares about gun safety and freedom and he's fun to watch. Just a great guy with good character, he makes nice videos. Also, he owns a LOT of cool guns.

Hickok45's channel

Some of my favourites videos of his.

YouTube - Close Quarters Combat

YouTube - Tactical Zombie Training

YouTube - M1-A / M14 Blasting

YouTube - M1 Garand ( Close Up )

YouTube - 1911 WWII Colt Close-Up

As a European, these vids make me a little jealous, too.

I call guns "freedom sticks".

 

[Peter.Steele]

I call guns "freedom sticks".

I call them "the things that my closets are all full of."

 

[The Masta]

I call them "firearms".

 

[Lt_Kettch]

I call them "firearms".

There are lots of great channels on youtube (especially about vintage video gaming) prefer those videos over regular TV. It is just more fun seeing someone talk about things he likes than some random jabbering on TV

I call them "firearms".

I prefer "bangsticks" :IS2:

 

[SheepDip]

I'm a fan of "Boomstick" of course...

Those are really good vids.

Also, he said FOILage. I lolled.

This is a fun video, although I'm really curious how he did it. I just hope nobody was anywhere near the range when he pulled the trigger.

He also likes the rifles you see in RO.

YouTube - Mosin Nagant

YouTube - Mauser 8mm

Yeah this guy's got some good videos.

I like the one where he uses a WASR 10, proving it can actually hit targets.

 

[LemoN]

That guy is completely bonkers.

Look at this one, you can even see the bullets fly to the target. Without slow-motion even. Those are some big, slow chunks of lead.

The M1-A is a beauty.

YouTube - M1-A / M14 (chapter 2)

Couple of 19th century firearms.

YouTube - 1873

IMO every country needs a second amendment.

Yeah I love watching vapor trails. There's just something fascinating about them. Of course seeing the round itself is great too lol.

Look at this video in 720p HD fullscreen, it's cool. The tracers look badass. Beautiful rifle too.

YouTube - M14 vs Block Wall at 250 Yards

The video shows a couple of things that the Tripwire guys might be interested in. I think it can help with the visuals and sound effects for RO2.

• Tracers have a ball or oval shape, they're not like the 'laser streaks' you see in Ostfront and other games. I'm sure TWI knows that already but it's worth mentioning.
• You can clearly hear what bullet cracks sound like. They're LOUD! The more realistic these bullet cracks, the more effective suppressive fire can be.
• Big calibers kick up a lot of dust when it impacts on brick / cinder block. See the slow-motion at the end of the video, too.
• A bullet also kick up quite a bit of dirt, and when it does, you can hear the dirt raining down on the ground for a couple of seconds after that. Also, some of the kicked up dirt ends up on the cinder block wall.
• Bullet ricochets / fragments can still wound / be deadly.
• Muffled gunfire sound over distance and a slight echo effect.
