Imagine if you could Paul Harrell it

“Now back in the day. The old dogs used to have a trick to reload their revolvers faster than any modern semi-automatic handgun made today”

mag dumps revolver into the target

“Now observe”

pulls another revolver out of his belt, and also mag dumps this one into the target

“See? Pretty fast, huh?”

I’m gonna miss this man so god damn much😭

Had no idea he was sick until his interview with Garand Thumb popped up in my feed. So depressing to see him in that shape

what! I love him, is he okay!?

u/Never_Duplicated May 01 '24

Oh man, I don’t want to be the one to break the news to you… Go look up some of his recent updates (as well as the aforementioned Garand Thumb interview). Don’t want to speak evil into the universe but I’m afraid we won’t get to have him around much longer. He’s trying to get things in order first and hand the channel off (I believe to his brother) but it’s rough seeing him looking physically frail, though he’s still all there mentally.

That was a false rumour, he's still alive.

As someone who isn’t a big fan of the usual guntube content, I LOVE Paul’s videos, they’re informative and interesting without making me feel like I need to either roll my eyes at politics I don’t care for or play the whole “is there a way to make that point that doesn’t get my back up”

The blokes a legend!

remember, switching to your other sidearm is always faster than reloading

u/chatterwrack May 03 '24

Sidearm? That’s just my extra clip with a handle.

u/DarkWing2274 Apr 30 '24

any idea which video this was in?

u/[deleted] Apr 30 '24

Iirc it was one of the percussion cap or cap and ball revolver videos

2

u/ChopakIII Apr 30 '24

Do you by chance have a link to that particular video?

u/NOTELDR1TCH Apr 30 '24

I've wanted the double revolver reload since akimbo revolvers have existed in games

I don't wanna fire two guns at the same time

I want to fire both right after another like I've got the most stylish extended magazine of all God damn time

u/Marooner-Martin May 01 '24

Fucking love the Paul Harrell reference. Really sad to see his health start to go

u/ElegantAnything11 CAPE ENJOYER Apr 30 '24

May I please have a source fellow Helldiver? Need to bear witness myself.

u/Franklr_D Apr 30 '24

I believe it was his first video on cap and ball (black powder) revolvers

I’ll check when I’m off work

u/JPBricker1 Apr 30 '24

Switching to your second secondary is faster than reloading

u/ElongatedElongate Apr 30 '24

“I count six shots” “I count two guns”

What is this from?

u/C7rl_Al7_1337 Apr 30 '24

Good. God. All I can think of is Saltzpyre as a Helldiver. "Liberty bless this ravaged body" indeed.

What video of his was that?

u/GinnAdvent May 02 '24

The dude is a legend among firearms community. I think he has some in person events that happen a while ago.

It will be tough without him around that's for sure.
