After a long break, here we are back with a BotR Mad Minute! This time it's an Eidgenossisches Repetiergewehr Modell 1911 (G11 / IG11) in 7.5mm GP11 (7.5x55). Often referred to as "Schmidt-Rubin M1911".

How fast can it go? Can it beat the K31 and Lee-Enfields?

Back in May, the lads went to @PolenarTactical 's Lynx Brutality at the Lynx Pro Training Center in Slovenia, and competed! @ForgottenWeapons @FirepowerUnited and many others were there too! This video is just the stages in their entirety, with no commentary.

How did they get on with AK, ...

How did they get on with AK, SIG 550 / PE 90 / Stgw 90 / Glock / Arex?

Chappy persists on his quest to make shooting the Dreyse rifle with Langblei easy for himself and for all other Dreyse shooters out there. This time we test some 3D printed sabots of four different designs and printed in four different polymers. What will be the best, if any? Will they all suck ...

While browsing the interweb Chappy came across someone selling 3D printed minié boolits and immediatly fell off his chair. Upon recovering he of course ordered a few to see what could be done with them, cautiously of course.

Chappy takes part in the yearly friendly French guntuber challenge. Categories vary year upon year and the only prize is one's own pride and vanity. This year we have 25m CF pistol, 25m CF pistol rapid fire, 25m black powder pistol, 50m RF rifle and a fun attempt at shooting a smiley :)

Here, we answer the question as to why there's red in the Alpenflage / TAZ 57 / TAZ 61 / TAZ 83 uniform camouflage pattern. And then we look at a bunch of stuff under IR, including:

Swiss:
TAZ 90, Splinter tent sheets, various helmet covers, blue wool

Finnish:
M62, M91, M04, M05

Thanks to supporters, BotR now has a second Sterling SMG subgat! This one is a factory original Mk.6, the factory closed bolt version. Bloke has been doing sterling work (geddit?!?) with his open bolt Mk.4 for a number of years now, and the opportunity to add a closed bolt Mk.6 to the channel col...

So Rowan of @dsar9489 was within striking distance of Schloss BotR, so how could Bloke turn down the chance of beers with his Aussie mate when he had nothing else on that weeken...

Bloke has again given in to peer pressure and will take a Chinesium AK, aka a Chinese Type 56S in the OG dropped butt configuration, to @PolenarTactical 's Lynx Brutality 2024 #LynxBrutality2024

To keep up with Ian of @ForgottenWeapons and Ziga of Ponenar, he needs some upgrades. But what's ...

Bloke, Chap and four other intrepid explorers, including @neutral_af (please give him a like and subscribe) go for a little 25km wander around the Murtensee an up Mont Vully. Includes a little look at a bunker and some lovely scenery despite the rain. Oh, and excellent organisation from Varuste...

Bloke has popped his suppressor cherry, and now he needs to determine what the effect is of hanging that great big weight off the end of his barrel... So he took his new B+T Rotex-X 5.56 Compact suppressor, and a B+T blast deflector to the range and tried them out on his CZ 600 Trail .223. What, ...

You know round ball, you know patched round ball, you might know squashed round ball and of course you know the minié(ball), but do you know the Tamisier bullet and the pillar breech rifle? You will by the end of this vid!

Ridley Scott's Napoleon seems, at best, to be an epic fanfic , which is fine but why oh why was a spyglass strapped to a Baker rifle to snype at Boney? We explore the what-if of this set up, cook up a slightly more believable version, and see if Chap...

Back in the day when Bloke was doing TFBTV, a gentleman contacted him by e-mail to describe in great detail the "clever" way he carried his FN 1910 loaded +1, i.e. with a full magazine and a loaded chamber. In doing so, he had inadvertently discovered a fundamental flaw and had put his pistol int...

The lads have a go at the @Riflechair #cabinfeverchallenge 2024 in Division 5, Muzzleloading, at 50m with a French Chasseur carbine in 18mm. How did they get on?

There's all manner of Martini actioned single shot target rifles and hunting rifles around in Switzerland as left-overs from the era when they dominated the shooting sports. This is a fairly interesting one, converted from a target rifle to a scoped hunting rifle by Swiss Bubba (Bäbbu?). It's in ...

In part 2 we explore the why, who and how. Why was it adopted, who was it issued to and how was the conversion done. We also finally have some range time with it.

Bloke was so impressed by the CZ 600 Trail belonging to @PolenarTactical that he used on Day 2 of Lynx Brutality 2023 that he had to acquire one. It's a very interesting design of high speed low drag turnbolt rifle (available in .223 Rem, .300 BLK and 7.62x39) but isn't without a few strange de...
