Yes and NO…. I liked the uncut, no breaks in filming stuff. Things that kept it real and HONEST. The more production it under goes the more ¨fakë unreal it will get.
I remember when someone asked in a livestream chat if you could put two sidecars together and carry two pistols.. I never thought I’d see you guys actually make a video on it.. and this is part of why I love you guys as a company !
I found myself worried for the camera operator a few times. As a kid this would look natural in an action movie. As an adult who shoots it’s hard to watch someone shoot in different directions since you aren’t able to watch where you’re shooting at all times. Props for an awesome April Fools gag and that you even produced the product. Now we just need a four gun holster set up for those who akimbo but don’t want to reload.
I know this is an April fools thing... but there's still something so satisfying about that. Maybe the symmetry? Anyways, thanks for all the time that went into this - it was a joy to watch.
There's definitely some theoretical advantage to dual-wielding pistols, it's probably never going to matter in a real world scenario, but it's very cool anyway
Well that was the most fun I've ever had watching Lucas shoot! Nice mag dumps! 👊🏻 Great work on the edit too! Huge props to the production crew and thank you for mixing this into your standard set list.
Don't know what role he'd have as a cameo, but I did see someone suggest Ian McCollum cameo as a weapon dealer like the guy from John Wick 2. I think that'd be a better cameo, no offense to Lucas or the T-Rex Arms crew.
Hahaha. I remember asking trex customer service if I can link together two sidecars to go akimbo. They said they “could not confirm or deny” that you can.
This was, honestly, the first thing I thought of when you announced the new Sidecar system. Rather than actual, real-life practical potential, I envisioned two conceal holsters strapped together. If only John Wick had this, he wouldn't need to borrow so many baddies' pistols to kill them.
I love how Lucas actually makes dual wielding practical. This video is amazing… 🔥 Furthermore. I dread to imagine how much was spent on 9mm parabellum ammunition for this video 💀
you know for a April fools joke their is a lot going on, the fact movies, video games, and TV have a love/hate relationship with dual wielding and I love every minute of this since its a homage to dual-wielding . I just realize if can get that but also have a Surefire/stream-light option for the Holster with that I'll throw money at that immediately
The thought of dual wielding seems cool, but it is actually wildly impractical. First, you can't have eyes on two different targets at the same time. Second, your non-dominant hand will never be as accurate as your dominant. Third, if you have to reload both guns, you might as well, chuck the gun in your non-dominant hand because reholstering and then reloading two guns takes more than twice as long as reloading one gun. Trust me, I've tried dual wielding before...
It can be marginally useful in certain situations, as you can control a wider area without having to turn you whole body to react to a threat. As with anything else, one needs to practice this stuff to make it work, and it is generally not worth it. You brain can be trained to switch from aiming with right hand to aiming with left hand quickly, but it is an exotic skill that has a very slim chance to ever become useful.
@jolier1313 It’s good to have advisors like you in shooting community🤣 “Trust me, I’ve tried dual wielding before” - Probably you dual wielded in combat killing a lot of “badguys” saving bunch of hostages…but if you would write it here you’ll need to kill everybody in the comment section🤫 That comment made my day😂
But I'm cross dominant (left eye but right hand) so my right and left hand are actually equally accurate! or maybe its more of equally inaccurate . . . but I try to practice with both and it's really not that bad for me. and dude it was all a joke . . . .
Akimbo point shooting should be fairly reliable in very CQC situations where using sights is completely superfluous if your peripheral aiming is decent no? I bet that can be proven. However, alternating fire is not the way to go imo, it's better to acquire 2 targets at the same time and discharge. I'm thinking about this in a scenario where you need to clear a small room with 4 men before one pulls out their gun not for sustained exchanges.
YOU ARE PUTTING TOGETHER THE OFF THE HOOK SHIT. BLOWING IT OUT OF THE BOX. I LOVE THE STUFF YOUR PUTTING OUT AND DOING IT DIFFERENTLY. NOT ONLY ARE YOU KICKING THE KNOWLEGE THE SHIT IS ALSO ENTERTAINING. IT MAKES YOU WANT TO WATCH. KEEP UP THE GREAT CONTENT MY FRIENDS!
I know that trying to wield two pistols at once is wildly impractical/counterproductive but I watched ‘Last Man Standing’ with Bruce Willis dual-wielding 1911’s at a very impressionable age and now it can never be uncool for me. So, thank you for doing this.
You're the kind of person we need immigrating here. Not illegally invading (which you're not trying to do so this bit isn't directed at you). It's just absolutely disgusting what democraps and RINOs both do.. especially considering there's a FEDERAL LAW on the books that says anyone illegally entering the country can not be allowed to enter the country. Current shitbag residing in the white house is literally having border patrol play taxi service for illegals then FLYING them all over the USA
@@erikkelly1503 I don’t think anyone mentioned it bc it was labeled already in the chapters haha I just didn’t realize that until after I posted the comment lol
This was so well made yet put together like a group of middle schoolers were over looking it. Like oh yeah now make all the lights flash rainbows. I loved this movie. Yes movie.
The total Wicksperience! Nothing like using volume over accuracy. Truth be told, we’ve all wanted to do that. Not because it’s anything we’d ever do, just to say we’ve done it.
Mall ninjas everywhere are shedding tears of joy as they bust out that CC to pick up that dual holster attachment. Dreams do come true sometimes, I suppose hahahaha
This video may have existed for the purpose of April's Fools, but it reminded me(especially during shooting from retention part) of a technique called "Center Axis Relock" and I wonder if Lucas will ever touch upon the subject if at all
The appropriate firearm was selected for this video.
Gramaton Clerics, Boondocks Saints, and John McClanes all agree.
Don’t forget Mission Impossible 2!
max payne
Black Lagoon
Can’t believe none of you said “The Matrix” lobby scene.
Lucas: “Yeah..this things pretty stupid.”
Me: “Thats so goddamn cool!”
*with a mouthful of cereal*
Not gonna lie, this comment was my reason to get some cereal this morning 😂😂😂
@@cyrushaynes1284 ✨ inspirational ✨
Based.
Probably the best comment👍
Get out of My Head
Lucas going for salesman of the year: "Yeah, this is pretty stupid."
Producer: "How ridiculous do you want this to be?"
Lucas: "Yes"
I think you mean badass
This is a technique known as "accuracy by volume" 🤣
Just curious...are you a fellow land surveyor?
😂😂😂!!!
lol. I did that one time at a 3-gun match in a pistol portion. "****!" [Pops off four quick rounds and steel finally drops]
accuracy through volume
The hood technique
I like that this channel is getting more cinematic
First John Wick movie vibes, with the first track.
Yeah we need more gun cinematics, Garand Thumb and Jaeger Z99 got outstanding quality
Agreed love it
They have been watching Demo

“Son of a motherless goat! Magazines!”
- Lucas Botkin 2022
"Son of a motherless goat." Never heard anyone else say this besides me before!!! 😲 😳
Best thing I’ve seen on April fools day! 🤣
Same here best one this year!
Only one thing would have topped this: Dropping the emty pistols and just drawing two full ones out of nothing.
Or just suddenly thrown at ya from off the screen
just draw them from the same holsters the previous pistols were drawn from lol
@@dmill6103 or from another two Trex Arms™️ sidecars on his left and right hip
or having devices on the wrist that reloads the magazine for you....a la Equilibrium
The ultimate reload
Tell me this wasn’t the most fun you’ve had with your clothes on.
Remember, switching to your (other) pistol is faster than reloading.
Buy 4 holsters for the same pistol - instead of reloading your pistols, just drop them for the ones you're carrying on your 3 and 9 o'clock positions.
@@andreivaldez2929 Ah yes, the classic quad new york reload!
I remember when someone asked in a livestream chat if you could put two sidecars together and carry two pistols.. I never thought I’d see you guys actually make a video on it..

This shit is so hilariously over the top, old T.REX vibes, love it. Oh shit... It's April fools today.
but they actually made the part...
@@symantix321 it was a one off for April fools day dawg
Please release a "making of" this short, just the bloopers at the end were hilarious, I want to see how this was made 😆
I second this
@@MountainRangerOne I third this

Props for actually selling the AprilFools Product!
Where is the 3D file though?
I love that they have the balls to do this
If they're selling the product is means it's not actually an April's fool =P
Well that was the most fun I've ever had watching Lucas shoot! Nice mag dumps! 👊🏻 Great work on the edit too! Huge props to the production crew and thank you for mixing this into your standard set list.
i was cracking up the whole time - awesome video
The mad lads actually did it!!! I just ordered mine. Can’t wait to LARP even harder than before, lol.
I see you’re “Three amigos” joke at the end.
A man of culture.
*your
A man of culture would know the difference.
The Boondock Saints Approve this message.
Ah thats why Berettas! I wondered why not 2 glocks
Here I was, thinking he tried to do a Revy impression lmao
There. Was. A. FIREFIGHT!!!!
Oh come on y'all! Before the Saints there was the classic John Woo movies ;)
How have you not been offered a position in some movie like John wick. The edits are sick!
BabaAimBot
because the moves can't handle the reality that is the Botkin family . . .
Don't know what role he'd have as a cameo, but I did see someone suggest Ian McCollum cameo as a weapon dealer like the guy from John Wick 2. I think that'd be a better cameo, no offense to Lucas or the T-Rex Arms crew.
Because he stands up for gun rights and civilians should own fully auto's lol. Maybe Daily Wire would want to do something?
Absolutely digging the lights, John wick in the club vibes.
Hahaha. I remember asking trex customer service if I can link together two sidecars to go akimbo. They said they “could not confirm or deny” that you can.
this has to be the most entertaining april fools joke ever

The bloopers we're the best cause Lucas is so professional and composed in his videos so the bloopers we're a breath of fresh air and I loved em xD
If there is a great “Akimbo-style” shooting - it should be cross-hands shooting.
When Left/Right arm on top of another wrist and horizontally
[Akimbo mode] ACTIVATED
Three Doritos later>>>: Magazine!
@@regularsizedman3695 alot going on here 😂🤣
I bought one solely based off of the ending out takes. Best April 1st nonsense I've seen in several years and worth every penny!
Props to the film/edit crew on this one for sure! Awesome video!

I just realize if can get that but also have a Surefire/stream-light option for the Holster with that I'll throw money at that immediately
The irony is that Lucas's skill and the production of this video actually kind of makes it look viable.
I loved every second of this
When everyone thinks the April fool's joke is akimbo, but the real joke is there is no lights on the weapons
Haha exactly
The cinema photography was on point and AWESOME! The fact that you were dual-wielding Beretta 92s sets the scene perfectly 😍😉😂😍
Happy April Fool's!
Perfect timing. Just got back from school to watch this. Very 🔥
This is simultaneously the coolest and funniest thing I've seen on UA-cam in a while. 😂😂😂
That reload was clutch 👌🏻

The baddest video since Garand Thumb's PKM review. I applaud you 👏 👏👏
This.......is......the best video i've ever seen from trex arms........hands down.
Me: ammo expensive
Lucas: dual-wielded mag dumps 15 times
Lucas Wick with those 200 round stick mags!!!
Akimbo is one of those things that can easily sumed up with "yeah, it's stupid. Stupid fun."
Production department: how John Woo-ish do you wanna get?
Lucas: YES.
This is the strangest thing I've seen for a firearm.
You know I already ordered one.
"i actually dont have unlimited ammo like in the movies!" im laughing, but also dying from the laughter
we're hitting swag level that shouldn't even be possible
YOU ARE PUTTING TOGETHER THE OFF THE HOOK SHIT.
BLOWING IT OUT OF THE BOX.
I LOVE THE STUFF YOUR PUTTING OUT AND DOING IT DIFFERENTLY.
NOT ONLY ARE YOU KICKING THE KNOWLEGE THE SHIT IS ALSO ENTERTAINING.
IT MAKES YOU WANT TO WATCH.
KEEP UP THE GREAT CONTENT MY FRIENDS!
This makes me realize how much I need a second CZ75 to IWBC. Might be a bit front heavy but definitely worth it.
Oh my gosh I haven't laughed this hard in months... And I have kids.... "son of a motherless goat! magazines!" classic stuff guys.
I know that trying to wield two pistols at once is wildly impractical/counterproductive but I watched ‘Last Man Standing’ with Bruce Willis dual-wielding 1911’s at a very impressionable age and now it can never be uncool for me. So, thank you for doing this.
The amount of smiles and joy this brought to me is not healthy
Your missing the pea coat Levis and boots. Boondock Saints baby.
I missed trex videos like this
It’s like a garandthumb intro meets the show alias from the early 2000’s. So good 😂
Lucas: makes video
John Preston has entered the range.
Epic. You guys always do great April fools content
I feel like with laser pointers since you can''t aim down sites, and a lot of training, that maybe in certain circumstances akimbo could work?
Love the bloopers at the end! Lucas is so funny!
Hearing Lucas swear at the end was the best part.
The trust that the cameraman has in you to not shoot him 👀
The trust your dominant hand has in not getting shot by your weaker non-dominant hand. Keep both eyes open and pay attention for sure!
This is some black lagoon two hands type sh** right here, friggin epic, imagine if those berettas were cutlass edition 😤👌
Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well.
Haters be damned, y’all’s production quality is second to none and that’s what’s I appreciates about you.
Its the ending bloopers for me🤣 I mean as much as its stoopid some ppl find it genius! Love the content lucas! Keep it up!
Man, what would I give to be an American and live over there!!!
same
Southern border is wide open... lol
@The Family Brit I would like to live legally over there! Am a proud libertarian but still would like the government's approval

Wait? Where's The Max Payne Adrenaline Dive? 😁
_"Give a guy a gun, he thinks he's Superman. Give him two and he thinks he's God."_

This was so well made yet put together like a group of middle schoolers were over looking it. Like oh yeah now make all the lights flash rainbows. I loved this movie. Yes movie.
Ahh yes, Lucas is still a man of culture. Love the BO thumbnail
This is what every overblown 90s action movie wishes it could be!
The video production quality of this channel is off the hook and keep getting better!
“I have two guns one for each of you!”- Lucas
All I could think of was: "It's Payne! Whack 'im!"
I love the bloopers bro, definitely have to add them in a lot more videos.
I appreciate the production value that went in to this
Just wow! Thanks for bringing a smile to my face today.
Thank you for this, I needed this video in my life
I love the video timeline! Bad boys II, matrix lobby scene. God this is so stupid and I absolutely love it!
Red Circle Club from the first John Wick for me. That opening track is so sultry and sharp!
This setup will definitely be the centerpiece of some movie or tv character soon
Y'all should seriously consider doing a movie. This was incredible cheeseball action. I want more.
Luke really tryna take that cinematic belt from garand thumb lol
For some reason this video catches the sound of a gun shot more accurately than any other video ive seen😮
this dude should make his own movies or a series. 100/10 would watch it
The do not watch this section at the end was the best. More of these, please. 😂😂
Remember, switching to your second secondary is faster than reloading
The total Wicksperience! Nothing like using volume over accuracy.
Truth be told, we’ve all wanted to do that. Not because it’s anything we’d ever do, just to say we’ve done it.
Whole video was sick. The cinematics are unreal.

" i got 2 hits on target" favorite part. 5 stars, 10/10
