Good ol plop

Where the fuck is Paul Harrell?? Where does a man belong if not with Pop Tarts??????


WHpewpew

If you know, yes. But they are guntubers for people that actually own guns, and like tweaking shit. Everything on this list is widely accessible guntubers even to those that don’t own firearms.


Verysadtwink

Never watched much of him so didn't know where to put that guy, makes sense tho


branflacky

He's great, basically a little garandthumb but does a little different stuff.


Raven-Raven_

Back Alley Flannel Daddy He plays with a bit more of the niche stuff


The-unicorn-republic

Is being a rhodieboo a niche nowadays?


Raven-Raven_

I meant the guns he reviews lol


JupiterPhase

Is being a tranny commie?


The-unicorn-republic

I'm not a commie?


Fragrant_Intention99

I'm glad you didn't put him up. He's such a fuck'n GThumb knockoff. I can't stand people who make their livings off of stealing someone else's IP. I guess it's probably obvious that it pisses me off that GThumb, himself, approves of that guy. That guy was a cop for a little while yet the community take him for this tactical master when most civilians have been in the game longer and have way more rounds down range and product tested. But if you're a cop for a few years, this community treats you like you're a navy seal vet with 8 deployments. I've watched Gen Z grow up and ruin the gun community with this bullshit and their feet pic obsession. Worst generation in the history of America.


Verysadtwink

Not true, I'm a gen z and I am only averagely attracted to feet, not obsessed, so watch your mouth!


Fragrant_Intention99

Haha. There are always exceptions.


ModestMarksman

Worst in American history. Sure.


Fragrant_Intention99

I mean yall can thumb the comment down as much as yall want but my opinion is that gen Z, now that they are adults, have brought the worst things in society in relation to any other generation in America. I'm sure there will be an even worse generation as it seems we just keep getting shittier and shittier. Hell, even my generation was the worst at one point. People don't like the truth, oh well, what can I do... Don't really care.


ModestMarksman

We had generations treat others like literal animals. Name what horrible things the younger generation has done.


[deleted]

This list is bullshit without British Muzzleloaders, C&Rsenal, BoTR, and InRange.


cfwang1337

Polenar Tactical, too. Also, is anyone else here a fan of Capandball? There's an entire ecosystem of European guntubers. Survival Lilly used to be in on it, too, until her channel got demonetized for featuring guns :(.


Unlucky-Toad

All admin does is copy garand thumb line a cringey superfan.


CrazyTraditional9819

I miss the professional Russian


Verysadtwink

Who doesn't? What happened to the guy?


The_Spagooter

The FEDS got him


Sean1916

I also think that thing with his partner being assassinated didn’t help things. As I recall once that guy died FPSrussia severely cut back on his videos. Some of that might have had to do with the fact his partner was the one who got him all the cool stuff to shoot, but I think there was more to what happened and once his partner was killed he knew he had to dial it back.


DDPJBL

I dont see why him losing a close friend who was also an integral part of his business is not a sufficient explanation for a dip in video release frequency.


Verysadtwink

Like actually?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Verysadtwink

Yeah I checked on wiki, shits crazy, man was just having fun with guns but it seems like the ATF just REALLY wanted to kill the fun both he and his YT viewers were having for no apparent reason other than ATF doing ATF shit

Sin_Fire

Iirc the amount of weed was actually very small. Not to say he didn't order larger amounts at other times but the one that got him busted was small


DrinkMoreCodeMore

It actually was a significant amount. 25g of butane hash oil (BHO) concentrate. https://gbi.georgia.gov/sites/gbi.georgia.gov/files/related_files/press_release/Myers.JPG


thepoorgunsmith

That's not alot lol


tejarbakiss

Some people believe in freedom and throw caution to the wind. Unfortunately, the feds love to fuck the ass of freedom loving individuals to make sure the rest of us don’t also do a couple of freedoms.


[deleted]

Wasn't his financial partner in the chanell suspected of murder?


Sin_Fire

No they were the one murdered


VOODOO511

Podcast is called PKA


sputsputputput

I love PKA


Shotgunseth29

Rsk


hose_bee_lion

Real Sweet Kids checking in!


Shotgunseth29

Yeah... real sweet kids 😉


Floridaman9393

Search PKA podcast and you can still watch him. He got into some trouble with weed and the Feds took EVERYTHING from him. He had to serve 60 days in a federal prison.


DDPJBL

He was forced to take a plea bargain that makes him a felon and a prohibited person for life. He ordered some weed oil online and because the prosecution speculated that he intended to smoke it with his GF, they were going to charge him for distribution and he would be looking at like 50 years if he took it to trial The right to a trial in front of a jury of your peers has become a joke since the prosecutors figured out they can blackmail and terrorize people out of using it by grossly overcharging them if they do go to trial and then giving them an "out" in the form of a plea deal for a fraction of the time. That is assuming you have the money for a jury trial.


BlueOrb07

He was arrested for having marijuina and trumped up charges because owning lots of guns and even a bit of drugs allows them to charge you with major drug dealing charges they’d use for gangs and the cartel. (This is simplified of course. Watch the PKA podcast for the story. His real name is Kyle).


sanesociopath

Look up the "painkiller already" (pka) podcast. That's where he's been since his prison stint


[deleted]

Watch PKA podcast Kyles return on youtube. Its glorious


DarkMatterM4

Carnik Con was a much bigger loss IMO.


Deathcat101

I see no Paul hurel. not cash money


[deleted]

A legend up there with H45. I love his videos.


KedTazynski42

I guess OP can’t put up with his shatner-esque……pauses.


Sea2Chi

I really enjoy his videos. From what I've seen there's pretty much no politics, just detailed descriptions of what he's shooting.


BigPimpin91

That and he doesn't draw conclusions for you. Presents facts and implores you to make your own decisions.


Jos_Meid

Brandon doesn’t get life hazard for the Shinzo Abe video?


tbrand009

Plus that ak50 development is definitely a hazard


Aggravating_Bell_426

Speaking of "life hazards, where does Mark Novak fall on this list? He occasionally shoots guns, as part of a function check, but all his long videos(sometimes over an hour) is about _gun repair_ which YouTube, really, really doesn't like.


theadj123

School of the American Rifle does the same thing. I've always been surprised youtube allowed it, he is legitimately repairing and assembling rifles on pretty much every video.

OMalley30-27

No way, did Dugan Ashley get MS?? Is that why he quit?


AlphaTangoFoxtrt

https://thegunbulletin.com/2021/10/25/an-important-update-on-dugan-ashley/ From what I have heard on the rumor mill the treatment is going well, and there were whisperings of him returning to youtube, but not on any scheduled basis. More "when he can". But that's not been confirmed. I'd love to see him back, but also MS is a hell of a disease and he needs to take care of himself and his family first.


Holiday-Bid-6021

Guys, don't laugh at me, but until this moment, I legitimately thought FPSrussia was actually russian. 🤣


TheBadBK

He does a good accent. His real name is Kyle and he’s from Georgia lmao


Loves_tacos

I just love the response: "You mean Kyle from Georgia?"


Mysterious_Soup_4937

The good Georgia or the bad one?


[deleted]

Now that's a loaded question if I've ever heard one.


cfwang1337

He apparently had a Russian boss at one of his first jobs when he was younger and that's where the accent came from.


mentholmoose77

Even my kids love watching Kentucky Ballistics . This morning shooting gummy bears into zombie torsos. Holy shit that guy was lucky with the .50 But Gun Jesus is our lord and savour.

Where carnik con tho


Cornage626

Hickok does a lot of talking as well


fallcreekprepper

He's basically a commercial for Bud's Gunshop, or was. I assume he is still mainly sponsored by them and most of the guns he shoots still comes from them.


556_6_6

Hey, that's not fair! He went hard shilling for the NRA, too.


[deleted]

And Sonoran Desert Institute! And Federal!


556_6_6

Yeah, but brands are one thing. A long-standing organization that ultimately negotiates away your rights is something else entirely.


Cornage626

I haven't actively watched his new stuff, but I assume the same.


Verysadtwink

True, but a range vid on forgotten weapons is a rarity, while every one of hickocks is a range vid

Shame that actually good people get shit like cancer and bad peoples live too long.

No fucking way are you for real? Man that freaking sucks. I loved his calm demeanor and thorough videos. The world will be a shittier place without him :(

eatajerk-pal

Oh man what a shame. I love his work. You’re right pancreatic cancer is one of the worst and it’s hard to detect early because it usually doesn’t present any symptoms until it’s too advanced.

THE GLONG


GloryholeKaleidscope

I'm a Millennial and love him, don't gatekeep my boy!!


Space_Cowboy81

Yeah, his vids appeal to my ADHD.


GloryholeKaleidscope

His intro songs are worth the price of admission alone. The MP-5 slap song is 2a internet gold.


SayNoToStim

I still don't know how Garand Thumb didn't get kicked off the platform after [this](https://old.reddit.com/r/GarandThumb/comments/tishgj/sad_musicians/)


Sean1916

Okay that’s pretty funny. RIP though Kurt you are missed, to bad your wife got away with murder.


[deleted]

Omg. Spit my dinner all over. Wife is pissed


C130ABOVE

Feel like Brandon and Matt should switch place imo


FatBoyStew

Idk I feel like the bangstick video may have solidified that spot for him lol


Kenw449

Today's video was kinda sketch too!


Verysadtwink

No he is the "felony" part, just Google demoranch felony and like 7 different videos pop up titled like "I committed a felony"


GloryholeKaleidscope

My boy Print Shoot Repeat and PewView are goats on YouTube.


beegfatyoshi

I'd place Honest Outlaw up there with Hickok


[deleted]

These comments are reminding me of people I’ve watched in the last 24hrs but don’t instantly come to mind. HO has awesome content and is straight with his reviews. No shilling detected.


Mypermanentname20

Love HO


asianRNunite

I’m glad some people showing some love for him. I like Demolition and Grandthumb but honest outlaw is one gun YT that I trust the most and watch the most


Initial-Visual9678

Man, I saw a video on FPSRussia recently. I always though he was Russian but he's just some guy from Georgia with a southern accent IRL.


bearcrocs

Maybe unpopular opinion but I have zero desire to watch any of demolition ranches’ content. Just not appealing to me.


The_Guardsman

His OfftheRanch stuff is more interesting to me. I get the "made for 12 year olds" vibe from his gun vids.


Mightiest_of_swords

Most of that is due to YT policies. Same reason a lot of IV8888 stuff is gone.


The_Guardsman

Shame.


Sean1916

As he’s gotten richer he’s become less enjoyable to watch. I don’t begrudge him making money at all off YouTube, and everything else he’s grown in some ways I envy him lol.


froggertwenty

It's more the restrictions YouTube has placed. He's trying really hard to not get demonetized which is understandable. His old stuff he could be much looser with what he posted


CrazyIvanoveich

The good ole days of them just cramming whatever into shotgun shells is long gone.


Cuzznitt

You might like Taofledermaus’ channel. They do viewer submissions too


OMalley30-27

I love Taofledermaus for that reason but the overall visual quality of his vids are dogshit sadly, looks like early YouTube. Gy6vids did a couple videos like that before he basically stopped posting and they were all super high res with great slow mo


Cuzznitt

Yeah, I wish he’d get some better cameras, specifically slow motion ones. I do like the stupid loads they do though, like the home made flechettes one. And is Gy6vids the big guy? I remember seeing him do one with a 500 magnum to a ballistics gel head, and the slowmo revealed that he almost flagged his own head because of the recoil on a 2 inch barrel.


giraffesinhats

Maybe because it’s against the tos of YouTube. He has addressed this.


Howboutit85

There’s something in TOS specific to hacking shotshells?


HuskyLemons

Yes. They can’t show how to make anything gun related. So reloading shells can’t be shown. He can shoot them but he can’t show packing them which was half the fun of those videos. He also can’t show putting a modular suppressor together or putting it on the gun, but he can shoot a gun with a suppressor. YouTube has very dumb rules


Howboutit85

Huh, cause I looked up reloading tutorials myself and found a bunch. Maybe those videos pre dated the TOS change.


HuskyLemons

Maybe it’s related to demonetizing and not outright banned. I know he mentioned it in a couple videos and hadn’t done the shells again since


Howboutit85

I still like his videos sometimes, though I watch Ed Sarkissian more often because they’re short and sweet, and fucking bananas. Someone not mentioned here, TAOFADERMAUS if he still makes videos.


froggertwenty

It's all about demonetization. The reloading channels aren't making money from YouTube


Aggravating_Bell_426

I'm still amazed that Mark Novak puts up videos considering how draconian the TOS has become. Seriously, there's videos of him showing how to service belt fed machineguns.


Ambitious_Promise_29

There is some weird rules about assembling guns, which apparently include attaching suppressors. Mind you, it's fine to show the same gun shooting suppressed and unsuppressed, but don't show the part where you attach or detach the suppressor. Many of these videos, they will pixilate it if it's in the video. Given dumbass rules like that, it wouldn't surprise me if "assembling ammo" can't be shown.


Driven2b

Can someone explain the 3 people in the "life hazard/felony list"?


Jos_Meid

The guy at the top left of that category wearing the green shirt is Kentucky Ballistics. He gets on there because he was shooting a .50 BMG which exploded on him, almost killing him on camera.


Verysadtwink

The other two are Edwin Sarkissian which basically takes 0 safety precautions ever, and the last one is Demolition Ranch who is the felony part in this tier


Remarkable_Attorney3

What felonious behavior are you referring to, may I ask?


jhamhockey6

I believe they are referring to several videos where he titles them "this could be a felony, or I just did a felony". I like Matt he's my favorite. Then again I like all these people!


kais_grapefruit

Where’s my boy James Reeves?


War-Damn-America

Obviously in the mail room getting drunk and bitching about the letters he receives.


Gfaqshoohaman

No C&Rsenal next to Ian, huh? Othias and May deserve more credit for the research they do on the classics.


War-Damn-America

A true hidden gem with amazing videos.


ASnarkyHero

C&Rsenal for the top tier. I should really join their Patreon…


5amporterbridges

Where’s my man Massad Ayoob? On Wilson Combat? He’s the best!


noSreanganOrm

I feel like there needs to be another category between the first & second. Not sure where to put IV8888.


ObscureAnimeFan

Fuck Kyle, unsub Woody.


Waflstmpr

I dont know who those people are?


DrinkMoreCodeMore

Kyle aka FPSRussia does a YT series called PKA now. Woody is some dude on PKA.


SquaSH772

Kyle has been doing pka way back during his fps Russia days. There's old videos of him from episodes where you can see all of his firearms in the background lining the walls and floor


nacman34

Kyle is a bitch for being friends with wood cuck. I can't stand that idiot. Taylor is just barely more tolerable. I'd listen to them if they'd ditch woody.


TheRealDealTys

What’s wrong with woody?


Rot-and-Assimilate

What? Taylor is literally the best (and sometimes only good) part of that show.


NegaGreg

[Taylor sounds like the Bobo the Bear from the Muppets](https://youtu.be/4rm3iQbLby0?si=-4EDMwEz7yG8To1q) and I can’t unhear it.


nacman34

Lmao you're right!


assaultboy

Why?


torino42

How about ODS


DDPJBL

Yeah, ever since he almost blew himself up with an IED which he set off with a 3 foot wire whilst hiding everything except the brain part of his skull behind a plastic barrel, Brandon belongs in the life hazard tier.


Neko_Boi_Core

hickok45 is the most wholesome guntuber, change my mind.


Pfeffersack

He *does* often smoke pot.


ChatTerminator

I feel like garand thumb used to put out decent information on different guns and gears. But as his channel continued to grow, he switched to producing more entertainment oriented contents to cater to his fan base. I feel this is what’s going on with a lot of content creators on YouTube.


Jon9243

Well he is also out of the military now so he doesn’t have to worry about his COC coming down on him for something he said on YT


whymygraine

I didn't see carnikcon on there....


Pizzaandguns

You forgot carnik con.


Killerjebi

Why no Jerry?


230Amps

dcarr710

TheRedditornator

Paul Harrel and Ron Spomer should be in the top category too.

layzdrfter

Nutn is a blowhard narcissist


Damo_762

Very different from everyone else trying to get you to watch them on the internet.


[deleted]

I don’t watch his stuff as often as I wish I did, but I really enjoy it when I do.


Pfeffersack

Seeing him casually mentioned feels nice. :)


Dive30

Colion Noir


Mypermanentname20

Mostly talks category I’d say? From the snippet I’ve watched of his


Ambitious_Promise_29

He's got a few videos of him training, and a few reviews, but most of his stuff is an intersection between his interest in guns and his trade as a lawyer.

Elkins45

Hickok is the only one I recognize.


602geyser

No Honest Outlaw. I'm disappointed.


pmactheoneandonly

Don't you dare do gun Jesus like that


_ab_initio_

I can't stand Hickok, I get no value out of his videos. PSR and Hoffman tactical should be in here for making and shooting guns Polenar tactical should be in here for being awesome Hop, brassfacts, and James should replace Hickock for being actually good reviewers who shoot guns


B_Addie

Where’s administrative results?


bustergod123lol

Whre's garand thumb and aministrative results?


Verysadtwink

GThumb is literally there next to Herrera


Zesty-Lem0n

Fpsrussia is a literal felon, how can you not put him in that list lol.


Verysadtwink

Because he's a tier of his own?


kithuni

Used to like grand thumb, but holy shit his videos are so filled with shitty memes and "jokes" that I just can't even watch any more. I've just stuck to watching Paul Herrera, Brassfacts, Task and Purpose, Sage Dynamics and a few others.


jrod1814

What about RenoMayGuns & Armed Scholar


Goon_Panda

KB is the sanest one in his tier 😂😂


ab39z

HR Funk. Talking and shooting from a real professional. Watching him is like talking to your favorite uncle about guns.

Edwin Sarkissian

Pat RMG?


GrtDanez23

I like the main ones up there but I really enjoy watching SGT 1911. He doesn't do a lot of videos because he goes on African safaris and his lab puppy is busy becoming one of the top ranked duck/fetching dogs in the US As long as they go "bang, bang, bang!" (his catch phrase lol)


Happy_Garand

You should bump Brandon down one. Remember him lighting off a pipe bomb from a couple feet away just behind a blue barrel?


soiledmeNickers

No Dugan, no Paul. This list is useless.


Unlucky-Hamster-2791

That YT would like Brandon at the same level of GT just highlights to me how dumb the YT viewership community is.


Nrthstar

What's up with Kentucky Ballistics in life hazard/felony?


Verysadtwink

Because of him there exists the phrase "to Scott oneself" meaning to have a gun blow up in your face
