Not a bad shift, but the current content focused around retro video games (with the rare iconic arms drop) is quite different from his earlier technical breakdowns of in-game weapons and load out performance for the latest COD title.

@@bucketsss.12.v43 notice how it wasn't dollars they donated in, it was "NOK", i.e. Norwegian Krone. 100 NOK equals $9.62 American dollars, at the moment. Though it's still a generous donation, any donation at all is, Ahoy is definitely one of the people who deserves a lot of patreon supporters, since he's putting out world class documentaries, some of the best documentaries about any subject ever made, and doing it all by himself. He even spends a long time doing all the custom animations for the videos, which is not easy in the slightest, and is probably what takes the longest to create by a long long way. The reason animation videos died on KZread is because making a video longer than 10 minutes meant youtuber could put a midroll ad into the middle of the video and earn more money that way. But for animation youtubers, it'd take months of work to create a 10 minute animation video on their own, their videos were always like 2-3 mins because that was the only way they could keep a somewhat regular upload schedule. So for Ahoy, who's videos are chock full of custom animation despite most of them being over an hour long, it's no wonder it takes him many months to finish. It's gruelling work. If he could get to a point where this could be his full time job, youtubing, and even employ an animator to help out with that part of each video on top of that, he could pump them out a lot quicker probably. The research and script writing and voice recording take a much shorter time than the animation does. So that'd be good. Although I feel like eventually, the best youtubers are gonna start being picked up by major TV and movie studios in a few decades, as millenials start occupying every big position in the industry and they know how good people like Ahoy are, how rare that level of talent is. And people like Jon Bois because of his sports documentaries on the channel Secret Base, which are the best sports documentaries ever made. And BobbyBroccoli for his Boisian style documentaries about physics that even a complete lay person can easily understand because he explains it so well, and EmpLemon for his documentaries about any sort of weird or strange topic that turns out to be incredibly interesting because of how well he presents them e.g. the story of New Coke in the 80s, or the video about who actually climbed mount Everest first because there's a possibility it was climbed decades before edmund hillary and tenzig norgay, climbed by a veteran of the Battle of the Somme, George Mallory. And so on. So yeah, with full support of a dedicated animation team (and research team too), making these Ahoy documentaries but with an actual budget and team, so that they come out quicker, would be amazing. And someone like the BBC or ITV would probably love to have him, just as a voice acting/narrating talent, not just for his own documentaries about video games. He's exactly the kind of guy with a distinct soothing and incredibly easy to understand voice that is just a gorgeous voice to listen to just like the voices of other people such as David Attenborough, Ahoy is exactly the kind of guy that these TV studios/channels would love to employ as a voice actor to record a narration about a number of different things and not only for his own documentaries about video games. I'm completely serious about that too. Whenever Attenborough finally passes away, Ahoy would be a fantastic guy to take over as the BBC's voice actor/narrator or choice. And so maybe by the time CEO and chairman and president positions in these TV broadcasting companies like the BBC are all run by millenials as baby boomers have all finally died off, they'll know of Ahoy's silky smooth gorgeous voice and his ability to write and create world class documentaries, they'll hire him sjd that can really be his full time job from then on. If he wants that, that is. Maybe Ahoy only does this as a hobby and has a separate career for his day job that he likes and doesn't want to abandon to become a voice actor. But yeah I really think there's a good possibility he ends up being one of Britain's foremost voice actors/narrators.

Ahoy there! I've fired the M107 while deployed in Iraq, and it's way more comfortable to shoot than many people think. I'm 5'6" and it does have considerable recoil, but thanks to those huge buffer springs it's more like a good firm push than a kick. Thanks for another great presentation!

@@bucketsss.12.v43 notice how it wasn't dollars they donated in, it was "NOK", i.e. Norwegian Krone. 100 NOK equals $9.62 American dollars, at the moment. Though it's still a generous donation, any donation at all is, Ahoy is definitely one of the people who deserves a lot of patreon supporters, since he's putting out world class documentaries, some of the best documentaries about any subject ever made, and doing it all by himself. He even spends a long time doing all the custom animations for the videos, which is not easy in the slightest, and is probably what takes the longest to create by a long long way. The reason animation videos died on KZread is because making a video longer than 10 minutes meant youtuber could put a midroll ad into the middle of the video and earn more money that way. But for animation youtubers, it'd take months of work to create a 10 minute animation video on their own, their videos were always like 2-3 mins because that was the only way they could keep a somewhat regular upload schedule. So for Ahoy, who's videos are chock full of custom animation despite most of them being over an hour long, it's no wonder it takes him many months to finish. It's gruelling work. If he could get to a point where this could be his full time job, youtubing, and even employ an animator to help out with that part of each video on top of that, he could pump them out a lot quicker probably. The research and script writing and voice recording take a much shorter time than the animation does. So that'd be good. Although I feel like eventually, the best youtubers are gonna start being picked up by major TV and movie studios in a few decades, as millenials start occupying every big position in the industry and they know how good people like Ahoy are, how rare that level of talent is. And people like Jon Bois because of his sports documentaries on the channel Secret Base, which are the best sports documentaries ever made. And BobbyBroccoli for his Boisian style documentaries about physics that even a complete lay person can easily understand because he explains it so well, and EmpLemon for his documentaries about any sort of weird or strange topic that turns out to be incredibly interesting because of how well he presents them e.g. the story of New Coke in the 80s, or the video about who actually climbed mount Everest first because there's a possibility it was climbed decades before edmund hillary and tenzig norgay, climbed by a veteran of the Battle of the Somme, George Mallory. And so on. So yeah, with full support of a dedicated animation team (and research team too), making these Ahoy documentaries but with an actual budget and team, so that they come out quicker, would be amazing. And someone like the BBC or ITV would probably love to have him, just as a voice acting/narrating talent, not just for his own documentaries about video games. He's exactly the kind of guy with a distinct soothing and incredibly easy to understand voice that is just a gorgeous voice to listen to just like the voices of other people such as David Attenborough, Ahoy is exactly the kind of guy that these TV studios/channels would love to employ as a voice actor to record a narration about a number of different things and not only for his own documentaries about video games. I'm completely serious about that too. Whenever Attenborough finally passes away, Ahoy would be a fantastic guy to take over as the BBC's voice actor/narrator or choice. And so maybe by the time CEO and chairman and president positions in these TV broadcasting companies like the BBC are all run by millenials as baby boomers have all finally died off, they'll know of Ahoy's silky smooth gorgeous voice and his ability to write and create world class documentaries, they'll hire him sjd that can really be his full time job from then on. If he wants that, that is. Maybe Ahoy only does this as a hobby and has a separate career for his day job that he likes and doesn't want to abandon to become a voice actor. But yeah I really think there's a good possibility he ends up being one of Britain's foremost voice actors/narrators.

This gun definetly is one of the most iconic snipers in modern videogames. That long barrel marked with the huge muzzle brake is instantly recognisable, and it's usually the sniper that no matter where you hit on the torso, your enemy is turned into red paste. Amazing weapon.

IIRC, the rifles that finally overtook his record were also chambered in .50BMG. Edit: Just checked, current record holder was with the McMillan Tac-50, and most of the longest confirmed kills are indeed with .50bmg. Still impressive that Hathcock set and held that record with a machine gun.
6:46 They used them behind enemy lines to stop supply vehicles, a 50BMG to the crankshaft of a semi truck does a lot of damage. Seizes the engine, and stops it in it's tracks.
