the story of the AW series is even more amusing when you hear the story of accuracy internationals origins
essentially it was literally just a handful of guys dicking about in their shed and didnt even expect to WIN the british gun trials, they just entered it to see how well their handiwork held up
and then they suddenly were in the position of we have NO ability to actually make that many rifles...
@@user-pq4by2rq9y forgotten weapons told the story while talking about the gun.
Didn't the brits send people to check that they weren't just a bunch of dudes dicking around in a shed?
OH WAIT THEY DID
And the fuckers actually rented a workshop set up some rifles in different stages of completion and the inspector came AND FUCKING FELL FOR IT
My sister heard this and thought I was watching an interesting documentary till she saw a video games
nayo
Video games are an example of popularity. Iconic Arms is a series, a documentary.
As someone who knows very very little about guns I was honestly expecting a video about warfare in the arctic.
Why? Those pesky white bears don't have oil. No need to bring warfare to them.
Hah, no, I initially thought the video may have been about the United State's plan if it were ever to fight Russia in the Arctic. I was unfamiliar with Ahoy's videos at the time, I've actually learned a lot about guns, neat stuff.
I thought it was gonna be about the winter war between Finland and the Soviet Union.
Call of Duty: Snipers run around while people with LMGs or assault rifles camp
I love the fact that a person that has a girl that has super speed and a giant sniper that's also a scythe for a profile pic is complaining about snipers running around.
Master Chief That isn't quite the situation in most antique cods. Cod4 have alot of servers yet i rarely see anyone run around with snipers. but if they do, it''ll either have ACOG scope or it's a xXsemi-auto_sniper_noscoper_360_69_420Xx
"If you're lucky, such a threat will only send a chill down your spine, but if you're not, well, you won't ever hear the shot." Is such an ominously raw line.
"And if you're not,well, you might never hear the shot."
that is some pretty horrific imagery, just having your life end, with absolutely no warning, not even a second to remember what was.
You don't have time to feel pain, so its like a sudden sleep and you never knew what happened.
However, thats a headshot, and they dont always hit the head...

“Those who live for the thrill, of a one-shot kill.” That’s such a good line
It's the exact reason I use sniper rifles in video games. They require pinpoint accuracy, patience, and practice. And, when you become good with one, you will be rewarded.
^ That’s how it usually would be, but it seems like they’re trying to take that away in modern games. So many people bitching and complaining about snipers.
Thank you for subtitles. I am semi-deaf and i love firearms.
Edit: my hearing was damaged in Afghanistan.
In response to your edit...what caused the hearing damage, out of curiosity?
The fact that the AWM made a shot at 2,475 meters is already insane enough. The fact that that record has been broken twice, and thay the new record is 3,540 meters is even more insane.

Who the hell could dislike these videos?
Nah, I'm a left-winger and I love these. I can admire gun technology, video game guns, engineering and physics at the same time I oppose wars.
And Stu, being British, probably hasn't been able to hold any of the guns he talks about.
There is SOME truth for bolt action weapons doing more damage. In a semi-automatic rifle, some of the bullet's power goes to cycling the next shot, so a bullet will have less overall velocity coming out of the barrel. However, this difference is mild, and pales to comparison to the effect of the gun's caliber.
The only reason bolt action rifles are still used today is better shot consistency (automatics load the next round as the bullet is moving, so the gun is already shaking before the bullet leaves the muzzle which lowers the accuracy), giving the user the choice when to extract (so evidence is easier to get rid of) and lower weight compared to semi-automatics of the same calibre.
Apatthetic Man I daresay that there are some countermeasures in place in more modern semi-automatice snipers rifles, but I recall hearing that a bolt action was preferred due, as you mentioned, you can choose when to extract the round, but the reason for that being that a shell casing is a shiny moving object when automatically ejected, while when removing it by hand it can be discretely pocketed.
notbobby125 the velocity shouldn't be effected it the design is put wel..most rifles don't have that...and little to no effect overall...the M-1 firing the M-2 ball has the same velocity of M-1903 of the same caliber. not a whole lot of truth really....
A good sniper is terrifying
A great sniper is unknown and leaves no survivors
Also 0:43. Sp00nerism? awesome.
Correction: A good sniper is terrifying. A great spotter is unknown and leaves no survivors.
I think its very unfair that they listed the guy with the longest kill but not his spotter, and that person would be responsible for the marking and calculation of coriolis effect that made the kill possible
@@booradley6832 Indeed, if Sniper Teams were Oingo Boingo band members: the sniper would be Danny Elfman while the spotter would be Steve Bartek.

Update ahoy the longest shot record is now 2.1 miles gun used Macmillan tac 50
The whole video is about Arctic warfare rifles so that would just be irrelevant
Lol imagine if “arctic warfare” was a call of duty game.
@Alexis Lloyd Alinan well I mean you're not wrong, we do have the AWP in the game
@Alexis Lloyd Alinan Arctic Warfare is in Mw3 as the L118A, the Precision Marksman in Black Ops as the L96A1 & the Arctic Warfare Magnum in Ghosts as the L115
There's nothing more satisfying in a game in my mind, than just releasing a round on an exhale and just hitting that perfect headshot from a nearby cliff.
Every single gun in Verdun.
ifly6 Welcome to Verdun: Where cartridge, not balance matters. And that's good!
most of the guns in verdun aren't widely known nor iconic (the series features iconic weapons only as the name of the series suggests)

Which iconic weapons can we expect to get a video too? I think that the M16,double barreled shotgun,M1911 and the RPG are one of the more iconic weapons.
XboxAhoy Your latest two videos are not viewable for me. This has been for sometime and they are the only ones in the whole YouTUBE's.
I was gunna say the same thing about the RPG/ other models. It's been around for a while.
What do you call Covert Operations that uses the AWP instead the AWC?
Covert AWPs.
"Slow Rate of Fire"
Simo Hayha, who could shoot a target 500 meters away at a rate of 16 rounds per minute using a Mosin Nagant: *Am I a Joke to you?*
It depends on how fast you are with a bolt action. Häyhä was fast due to intense training and years of hunting experience. Almost every other soldier with a bolt action couldn't pull that kind of speed as Häyhä

update if anyone wants: the new longest sniper kill was done by a canadian special forces sniper from 3540 metres, killing an IS operator .The unnamed soldier who killed the IS militant used a McMillan TAC-50 sniper rifle, from an elevated position.
well the record now has been beaten by 1 km by a Canadian sniper. hah Who said that Canadians were basically harmless hasn't met that guy
I know Canadian Snipers are the one of the experts, they have distant record before British Sniper's 2475m, which is around 2440m during 2003.

i gotta say, your videos have inspired me a lot. two years ago i stumbled into your channel, and ever since then ive wanted to design weapons. I'm now studying mechanical engineering at VMI and it would seem like my dream will come true.
I like the L115 in bf4. The sound it makes and re-chamber animation are just awesome.
Ahoy: this weapon is very recognizable
Me: Ah yes. The critically acclaimed gun. I heard shoots things
Ahoy:the AWP is not for close range.
Phantom forces and CS players:did somebody calls our name?
This is a great place to put a nice tidbit of information:
As they mentioned in this video, the AWP (Arctic Warfare Police) comes with "plain black furniture" or grey/dark grey coloring, unlike the regular AW, which comes with the military green coloring. So, when you're playing CS:GO, feel free to still call it an AWP, but remember that VALVe's employees aren't quite as smart as they think they are, and they have mis-named one of the game's most famous rifles. This is why I bought an Elite Build AWP and named it the "Anti-Misnomer", as it's nearly entirely black, save for the decoration.
It's a video game so most people don't give a shit. Let's be honest not many people know guns in real life
Shigani Kanaki
I don't care if people don't give a shit. That's why it's trivia.
RockLegend2 to be honest I'd much rather this name than another. AWP rolls off the tongue so easily. It sounds much better than AWM or Artic Warfare
The letter W kinda ruins the whole rolling off the tongue thing. Or do people pronounce it "auhp"? I don't speak guns.
gafeht
How do you pronounce the AW sound? To answer your question, yes, most native English speakers will refer to it as the "auhp". Some Europeans that speak English as a second language will say "A V P" because the W in their language is a V, such as in French.
However, since CS:GO's AWP is actually an AW, I pronounce it by saying the letters rather than the sound. Unless, of course, I pick up my AWP, which is an actual AWP.
Update! L115A3 is no longer the weapon with longest range kill, that title has returned to the McMillan Tac-50 at 3540 m ( in 2002 two Canadian snipers made same day records of 2310m and 2430m, both with the Tac-50 in Afghanistan, then a third Canadian in 2017 with the Tac-50 in Iraq at 3540 m)
The Tac-50 has 3 of the top 5 longest confirmed kills.
Still out of the top ten and top 5 longest kills, the awm is the only non 50 cal
"Throw your bolt handle at your enemy, and end him rightly" -the reason bolt actions deal more damage.
why do you never show bf4?
He said the launch issues are too much of a problem back then. And now, it's a bit too late
I don't think these videos are necessarily about the games. More about weapon history and depiction of the weapon in the game. Plus I don't know if BF series has bot mode where you can fight against AI because it would take quite awhile to unlock a lot of the BF weapons.
ProKosovich True but if you've got around a week to produce a video (not all your time in the week will be spent producing the video) are you going to waste valuable time ranking up and unlocking a weapon, then getting clips for that weapon. I personally wouldn't. If I had it unlocked or it was one of the few games that featured a weapon I was covering I'd do it but since so many games have the variants of this weapon, your time can be spent doing other things.
I mean I counted around 3 or 4 major titles:
Counter Strike
CoD (multiple titles)
Team Fortress 2
and I believe it did have one BF title, BF2 but I don't know if that's still classed as a major title.
I think the video was well produced and it had a good mix of popular titles to lesser know titles.
ProKosovich But why waste time unlocking online when you can just demonstrate the weapon's function in a private lobby where everything is already unlocked?
Technically Craig Harrison has the two longest confirmed sniper kills as he took out two Taliban insurgents with consecutive shots
well, he only has one technically as one shot would have to beat out the other one, but he is the only soldier afaik to have beaten the record not once but twice
Panther
And that was just updated, the Canadians now have the longest confirmed sniper kill, on an ISIS member. They were probably using a C17 Timberwolf, unfortunately for our dear AWM.

In TF2 the awp is called the awper hand like upper hand.
The AWP's appearance in TF2 makes no sense. The game itself is set in the 60s-70s while the AWP was designed and manufactured in the 90s.
The bullet took 6 full seconds to travel
You could probably see the bullet coming at you
"A good sniper, is terrifying. Hidden death that lurks in a hillside. Unseen, and able to precisely quench targets, with a single bullet. If you're lucky, such the threat will only send a chill down your spine. And if you're not, well, you might never hear the shot."

Tf2s Awp is a re-skin of the normal sniper rifle but gives you a ×100 accuracy rate.
I find it funny that one of the best and well known sniper rifles was designed in a shed
funny story about Accuracy International when they entered the British sniper rifle testing they were just 3 dudes in a shed and didn't expect anything of it. when their rifle passed the rented out a workshop and lay their prototypes around half assembled. when the requisitions officers came around they took a quick one two around and asked "where is everybody" and they responded "out to lunch wanna go get some too" and so over lunch the officers were like "yeah this was all just a formality we just wanted to make sure you weren't three dudes in a shed or something" and they were like OH
I can't stop watching these! You've got to make a tv show!
Hey, Ahoy? You see that like-dislike ratio? The Views? Please, do this more, your wonderful voice is brilliant!
Though undoubtedly an excellent weapon for precision targeting. The current record holder(s) are both Canadian utilizing the MacMillan Tac-50.

“Vex the AWP-position”
4:26 Well if this is so Stu. Why didn't you showcase the L96 in Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4? In both games Sniping requieres far more skill than pretty much every other game and it's mostly only possible on range.
Limited time budget. Not enough time to unlock the weapon in BF3. It's not even in BF4. Tell DICE to include a private botmatch with all unlocks!
Thats not true at all,you need more "skill" in CS,and BF 4 isnt even close to Arma 2 with Ace mod,so please dont talk shit if you dont know anything
SuperDeadNoob Are you serious? A sniper that will reward you a oneshot from the hip and upwards? Surely that takes less skill than in Battlefield where you MUST hit a headshot, account for bullet speed, drop, supression AND Flinch. And how much of this is there in Counterstrike? Not saying all this makes BF3&4 better, CS is still the by far best FPS out there, but if you use the AWP right in CS your foes don't stand much chance. And no point ever mentioning a simulator in this discussion.
Sniper Tips (any game) :
Scout the position and set up a trap if you can.
Switch positions to not be identified.
Always expect an enemy coming in the corner, shoot em' quick.
Always watch your back.
Keep strafing/moving around when not aiming/scouting.
_thats all I can give._
4:50 probably should have also mentioned how besides small arenas and faster pace, how they also exclude gravity.. how sniper bullets always travel in a straight line and always hit dead center of your sniper rifle's crosshair unlike real life.
Wut at 4:49 the killfeed of BF2 says
"You killed J. Price"
So call of duty reference anyone?
+Fighter_jet210 Price is also just a common name.. but Captain Price was in the original CoD ._. which came out 2 years before bf2. Not that it matters too much.
