Revenge is a fools game

Ive always loved Hickok45 and recently I've been playing through red dead redemption 2. I've seen a lot of these guns on this channel separately but seeing them all together like this is really fun great video.

As a European, I can respect Hickock45's love for the engineering and history behind guns. I appreciate that his channel has always been about the history, mechanics, and (most importantly) safety of firearms. In this kind of community it doesn't matter what your history or ideology is. Everyone who likes guns feels welcome! It's all about the impressive engineering of guns! As long as you don't shoot *each other* , you're good!

When he says "these are some of John's favourite guns" he's obviously referring to John Marston, not his son.

New sub. Your presentation of these tools is honest and informative. Thank you for your work.

Hi, I love your videos and i watch them often, especially videos like this doing overviews of a bunch of different guns at once, and I just wanted to make a suggestion, that when you are talking about this many firearms at once sometimes it's hard to catch what each one is, and it would be very cool if in your description you could list all of the gun models so that people could research each one easily.

Update 12-10-18: This video has already been deemed by KZread to be "Not suitable for most advertisers." It only took a couple of days. :-) Please let people who get their panties all in a wad about video gamers know that these incredibly realistic games are a huge part of the entertainment world and that everybody who plays them is not a "loser in his mom's basement." I think THAT is still the mindset of a lot of older firearms enthusiasts. Of course, that said, I'm sure somewhere there are some true "losers" in their mom's basements hunkered over their computer and a video game, as we speak. :-) Remember to visit the Hickok45 store at Bunker Branding if you'd like a Hickok45 T-shirt: www.bunkerbranding.com/pages/hickok45 Also, become a Gong Club Member and see behind the scenes material and "sneak previews" of upcoming posts: www.patreon.com/hickok45

This is one of THE BEST channels on all of the social media platforms KZread being the largest video streamer. I’ve watched countless videos he’s produced and he’s a wealth of knowledge and history when it comes to the United States history of firearms. Thank you for this fantastic video on my favorite vid game ever, Red Dead Redemption 2. It’s better than any movie.

When I worked at an electronics repair shop, I had an older man come in and ask me if it would be 'weird' if he were to start doing online gaming as something to occupy his time during retirement, that didn't require going outside on poor days, or sitting and watching TV. I told him no, he wouldn't be the only retired person I play with, and he asked about building a gaming PC. Guy dropped $3k on his first gaming system with the justification of "I don't want any problems with it, and well, if I don't like it, my grandson will." We ordered the parts to the shop, I walked him through putting it together, how to install Windows, drivers, got him set up on all the major game clients, etc, and charged him $75 for my time (Well below market. I just like building new PC's so I always discount that rate, plus it's good for word of mouth marketing). Added each other as friends on everything and played together for a while. He started on story driven games, like Fallout, but the amazing part is he very quickly became a better player than me. He almost got into an Overwatch tournament, where he would have competed for a not insignificant cash prize. The guy loves it. Still likes fishing and the like, but you can't fish every day. But this is Kansas City, and our winters are brutal and our summers and brutal, and some days you just don't want to be outside, and gaming was perfect for him. Mentally stimulating, low physical strain, available 24/7, and there's always something else out there to play. He also used it as a gateway to take up soldering DIY kits, and now runs a custom watercooling system, has upgraded many times, runs Linux on a second drive, tried Hackintosh, and is generally more technologically adapt than the average person of any age, because he found a piece of it that interested him. If you're older and think you'll enjoy gaming, try it. I recommend starting on a slow paced open world story driven game so you can learn the ropes without having everything thrown at you all at once. Games like Fallout, Skyrim, Red Dead, and others like it are somewhere between a book and TV, where you're the protagonist. Games like Wolfenstein or Metro, while great games, tend to overwhelm new players because they're meant to be more of a skill test than a story, though both have fantastic stories (Metro is based on a book, but will also kick your ass with combat difficulty even on the lowest setting). There's also games like Sid Meier's Civilization that are turn based strategy games, like a board game on steroids, that require good critical thinking and planning, and not much reaction time. Then there's good old fashioned 3D platformers, like Spyro or Ratchet and Clank, that are great to just roll a fatty and relax to. There's so many genres out there, at least one of them has the capacity to hold your attention. And you do not need to spend $3k+ on a gaming PC for your first shot. That was excessive, but it's what he wanted, and that's after talking him down from $5k. Told him to save the other $2k for games or a desk or something. tl;dr Let the wrinkles play.

I'm 56. I just spent mega hours playing red dead redemption 2. Sure, it's called a game... but it's more like playing a role in a movie! And Hickock doesn't need to play... He is it in real life.

Disappointed that you didn't demonstrate the How-to pistol was very interested in that particular gun I will search to see if you have a video on that one, I have been a subscriber for many years, I enjoy your content. and look forward for more. Love the vid's on the SAA Colts I have always liked the cowboy action guns. Keep up the great work.

I know this is a year old but it’s crazy how hickok is keeping up with tech, how he plays video games and doesn’t shit on them like a lot/most elders do and can see the enjoyment and quality of them. Love these videos so much.

It's still nice to see that those weapons are still here in this generation. Winchester models are my personal favorites. Just wish I get to shoot one someday

Being from Germany, it's obviously much more difficult for me to get firearms, specifically these older ones, so to me Red Dead Redemption 2 is a great outlet to enjoy these different rifles and revolvers. It's also great to see a channel like yours that has such a big appreciation for these historic firearms.

After your introduction as Arthur Morgan every mention of John made me think of John Marston. The thought of Arthur and John playing a western shooter game together is so wholesome

It’s the latest cycle of pop culture influencing people’s tastes. Previous generations watched John Wayne movies and fell in love with the guns, or Quigley shooting the bucket, or Chris Pratt wielding the 1895 in Jurassic World. As you say, if it gets a new generation into classic firearms it can only be a good thing surely. You personally are responsible for my new 1895G purchase by the way! love your videos and I can’t wait to pick it up week. Bought a box of 405 grain Remington today in anticipation, $100 Australian, ouch!
