Brent, I could not make a better video. These two really do give a good show and it is fun and is meant to be introductory. And I still have to pick at annoyances and think that with just a little more effort, it could have shed some light on some interesting topics.
For instance claiming that Greener the father and Greener the son were the same person,(beside making the narrator look like an idiot - can you imagine someone combing George Bush 41 and 43?) misses a really neat fable about family conflict, company regeneration and gun history which could have been put into one sentence. Both Greeners were experts and both wrote very important books in their time.
There are numerous examples of these types of errors in their videos. And it would have been nice to have more close up pictures and a more detailed explanation of the difference between the A&D Box Lock and Facile Princeps..something more than "it was hard to work on and had too many small parts." This could have been done in two sentences.
Of course, there is a danger in a pod-cast like this of trying to make too many points at once, at which time it loses its sales value and becomes pedantic. That's perfectly understandable. No matter really since the video probably will sell some guns for Holt's. But, we do know better and for the record it is bad history.
