Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

I could watch 10 more scenes of this gun dealer and not be bored.
Yeah his own mini web series. The guns he sells, his life and the people that use his services.
This is how I felt about the guy who sold the Twins the bulletproof vest in BB.
New series confirmed? Hope vince reads this! :)
or maybe a show where he is surrogate father to 2 dudes who hunt monsters
Ya he was good
I think a lot of the enjoyment of this scene comes from the fact that we rarely get to see Mike deal with someone on the same level of professionalism and courtesy as himself.
That’s a good comment. I find myself watching this clip a lot and I don’t really know why.
Just the simple way the dealer flips over the rifle and places it back in the carry case at the end of the scene is such a perfect piece of storytelling. He and Mike really are peers, and that's incredibly rare in these shows.
They are both actors with zero experience.
Always loved the slight hint that Mike was a Vietnam vet. No real backstory just the knowledge of a rifle and that green hat
The fact that he held the rifle with his elbow up. They don't do that anymore, but a lot of guys were trained for Vietnam only, and never had that corrected.
@@toadkult This is the type of information I love finding randomly in a youtube comment
I like the detail that after mike picks up the rifle, he makes sure to wipe his prints off it before putting it back. dealer hasn't had any incidents yet, but there's always a first time, no harm in being careful.
"Slight hint"
A lesser show would have treated the viewer like an idiot and wasted 5 minutes on a flashback with Mike running around in Nam
The black market gun man was such a great mini side character. The shear difference in the way he communicates with Mike compared with Walter in BB is telling, he knew just by the way Mike talked and carried himself that he was dealing with a professional.
Sheer difference
Him and the shady vet who knew people. Most interesting characters
@@SinKimishima Lawson's the only cool character still alive and not imprisoned
He knew his stuff when it came to firearms 😂
The cadence of this conversation is very soothing to listen to. I don't know why
"Bobby Singer selling you guns" would make a great relaxation podcast that is also educational about firearms.
Yes very soothing, it could be titled something like, "ASMR: Elsworth sells you some rifles"
I usually hate most people’s “deeply insightful” comments. But this one hits differently. 👏
is he the same guy from supernatural series?
That's the "Voice of Experience"
I love the level of knowledge and ethics of the seller. Breaking Bad universe is full of great characters, so authentic, so well designed, so real.
Right? I'm still amazed at the casting how everyone seemed perfect for their role! I mean, the closest thing I can think of a bad performance is "Pryce" who sometimes sounded a bit too overboard on the whiny nerd act.
@@610Hobbies and Pryce is still great because precisely his role is to be annoying.
@@610Hobbiesyou say that, but I would say he was on point. There are alot of people like that out there in the wild 😂😂
@@GerhardTreibheit I'm not saying he was always bad, but one of the moments I felt he was clearly overacting was when Mike tells him to forget about his baseball cards and Pryce says _"no, no, no!"_ that felt pretty forced and dumb IMO, regardless, he was a good comic relief.
bro is selling guns on the black market to those with nefarious intentions, yup. Ethical..
Mike: "What about a phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range?"
Dealer: "Yeah, I can get that for you."
I thought of that scene, but the one this scene has a stronger connection to is the one with "Easy Andy" in Taxi Driver.
Just what you see pal.
@@danielstoddart Nah, the joke is the professionalism of the dealer. Like, he's literally more knowledgeable and capable than your average gun shop dude. That's why it's funny. And also sad.
@@Daniel-Weaveryou can’t do that….
@@zaterranwraith7596 Wrong
Smooth. That dealer knew his stuff and knew Mike did too. Only a true professional knows the money is in repeat business, not the quick buck.
The subtext the Mike was a Vietnam vet is masterfully written into this show
You see how Mike looks away when the dealer uncovers the m40. He remembers….
@@mopedman666he legit had a nam flashback when he saw it. I don't know if it was intentional but even his face darkens when he sees it
"masterfully written" lmao it couldn't be more obvious
Subtext? Buddy, it was just text.
I don’t think the writers intended it to be in any way unclear that Mike served in Vietnam based on this scene.
I love hearing two characters talk shop; similar to Walt and Gale during their partnership. Whats more, this is with Mike and a gun dealer who clearly knows his stuff while also respecting his customer.
We had a good thing going, Walt.....- Mike
I could watch this scene for hours. Professionalism while doing dirty dealing is such a nice trope that isn't done well these days. I'd like to see it more.
Yes, for all the times you are buying illegal firearms 😂
Buying illegal firearms isn’t dirty lol
@@RegenerateSOG dirty in the sense that it's a crime. So... yes, it's dirty lol
@@NW-ef2sw lol
bit lost on what is trying to be said here but lol
@@Quigmman it’s a crime for certain people lol if you’re a national you can buy whatever you want lol
Interesting bit of detail I love
Mike leaves the rifle with the muzzle facing the doorway(away from the dealer)
The dealer then flips it around after Mike has vacated the room so the muzzles are not aiming at the customer.
Very neat gun safety detail that I hope was written in, as I would love to give the writers credit but I could see the improv of it.
Could be actors getting the knowledge themselves or telling each other on the spot. Filmmaking is a lot more than just writing scenes.
That gun dealer is my favourite side character in the Breaking Bad universe along with Victor and Tyrus.
Nah Lyle and Huel are the goats
Yes, great acting...Totally believable as a real, low-key person who just happens to be a gun dealer.
victor was a total chode.
Better Call Saul, and to a lesser extent Breaking Bad, were always excellent at portraying people on the periphery of the criminal underworld instead of just full-time gangsters. People who run legitimate businesses and do some crime on the side and act as supporting characters for the full-time gangsters. Like the veterinarian who is also a hood doctor, the guy who runs the vacuum shop who makes people disappear, or this guy who only shows up to sell a mix of legitimate and illegal guns.
What? You don't have a side hustle?
If they ever wanted to make a third spinoff, they have their character right here. This gun dealer probably gets into business with all kinds of interesting folks.
These 2 could have their own spin off show merely about these transactions, and I would still watch every second.
The gun dealer is such a great character. Gotta love a man who's this in tune with his craft. No nonsense, presents information as thoroughly and accurately as he can. A flawless professional.
After looking at the 3rd rifle, Mike becomes pensive, surely thinking about his war past. Later, he confirms this by talking about the wear and tear he experienced in the jungle. This, along with other passages throughout BCS (such as the date he mentions he would go back in time to in the final episode), set the stage for a great backstory about Mike's youth, which would undoubtedly make a great spinoff in the Breaking Bad universe.
Shut up AI
Is this chatgpt?
@@seth8580I doubt it. Even if they did they probably wrote out everything and then prompted it for grammar/clarity.
Bravo Vince
@@seth8580 wow, you are right as well as @notrogers I wrote this by myself (I love the series) but then used ai for translation corrections since my native language isn’t English, I thought it worth it to better express my idea. How do you thought ai was involved? My text was too good or too bad ? :P
I could watch a whole mini series of this gun dealer selling weapons to some of the most dangerous and awesome people in the Breaking Bad Universe and not get bored at all 💯💯 Definitely a Spinoff I would love to watch 🏆🏆🏆
That isn't the same gun's salesman Walt visited once to get his revolver, is it?
It is. Machine gun as well
@@pawsouth2897 Love the way they tie in all the side characters between two shows.
Yes, and Walt took at face value that the serial number had been filed off.
It's funny how a gun dealer will explain to a customer the benefits of a bolt rifle not jamming like he's a beginner, but also expect him to understand MOA.
Lol they're written to sound expert to the common populace. "Ar's jam a lot" is all I need to hear before I disregard this "professional"
@@DeepCFisher Exactly, and speaking of a KAC SR 25 Match at that.
@@DeepCFisherexcept he never said that. mike asked a question about it, dealer said no semiauto *never* jams. saying it's possible but super unlikely is completely different from "they jam a lot"
@MenachemSchmuel I was using hyperbole, but he essentially agreed with Mike's statement that they are prone to jamming. No they aren't, like at all. But that's the only thing some writer thinks he knows so we have a character saying it
@@DeepCFisher again, no he didnt. "it has been known to happen" does not mean what you say it does
I wonder how this exchange would've gone if Mike had been referred the super chatty gun salesman who worked with the Salamanca twins.
Yeah hahaha
He would have walked after the first three sentences.
@@lyingbastard and do you think Mike would buy from Nicholas Cage in "lord of war"?
@@JustRememberWhoYoureWorkingFordefinitely
Just a conversation between professionals.
Humble, no-nonsense expertise with good seller-customer relationship.
"You seem to know this one."
IT'S A BOLT ACTION RIFLE. IT HAS TWO MOVING PARTS.
It also has a weight, a resting centre point, a caliber, and ur mom.
@@madbringer Really? That's the best you can do? Pathetic.
@@sarcasticguy4311he cooked you
Another iconic scene from Finger. Bravo Vince!
I was supremely impressed with the attention to detail by the writers. Very rare to hear gun dialogue that isn't riddled with errors.
Why are they telling each other things they already know
@@jonathanbirch2022 Because they're telling the audience what they know.
@@madaxe606 what audience
@@jonathanbirch2022 What does what mean?
@@madaxe606 are you high?
This is literally my favorite scene in the entire series.
Love the dialogue
Forgotten Weapons would be screwed if these two made their own youtube channel just talking about guns.
Good ol Bobby Springer from Supernatural.
The arms dealer is one of my favourite characters, I wish they would do a spin off with him.
Now this is ASMR I would actually listen to
I know absolutely zero about guns, yet I feel like I’d be Albert Einstein with em if this guy were my instructor
I know everything about guns but if i needed someone to back me up you might be the first i would ask
This needs to be Vince Gill's next show: an entire series about this guy selling his wares.
Mike was in The Vietnam War!
No doubt Lawson was named after Tat from Menace II Society. His first episode ever Thirty-Eight Snub has many subtle references to the movie.
Nah, he's obviously a reference to Lawson from Recess
Uploading this scene today is a clue to Lawson’s first episode Thirty-Eight Snub season 4 episode 2, today is 4/2.
He ended up going with the M40A1 of course.
The gun dealer needs a show.
Is that Bobby from Supernatural?
Supernatural/BCS crossover would be wild. Imagine Mike hunting wendigos lmao.
YES!!!!!
He's currently a senator running for president in, "The Boys."
Easy Andy sent me here.
The most honest businessman in New Mexico is a black market arms dealer.
Love the difference between this guys convo with Walt vs his convo with Mike
You can't make people relaxed and mellow with a gun scene.
Vince Gilligan: Hold my Mike.
The way they make that M40 almost a character in the show. Mike brings it out at several key moments in Better Call Saul.
I noticed Mike immediately wiped his fingerprints off the rifle he touched. Guys a good salesman, I like bolt actions and would have bought the 3rd gun.
Watching Mike casually wipe his fingerprints from the rifle, with no comment from either of them or even break in the conversation, was just amazing.
How good is this dealer? Well, the moment Mike walks away he absolutely must turn over the rifle Mike handled so that the bolt is up. A move anyone with professional training would make. THAT'S how good.
Can you explain this?
@@cpotisch The bolt that Mike checked, what he pulled back to see the action of the rifle, it's a bolt-action rifle. Meaning it has to be manually reloaded with that bolt after each shot, the way Mike demonstrated. The advantage of that rifle over the "prone to jamming" previous. Mike put the gun down with the bolt facing down, the dealer flipped it so the bolt was facing up. Facing down you could knock the bolt loose, put stress on the action, etc. Just a little specific detail most people missed.
That, and Mike served in the Vietnam war, he knows how to handle the gun.
But Mike does put it down with the bolt up, the seller just turns it around, so the stock faces the door without changing which side is up
Another detail that some may have missed was Mike wiping off his fingerprints before setting it on the bed..
probably my favorite scene in the show
this is legit like a mgs or hitman gun mission of some sort.
Didn't know Bobby sold weapons on the side.
Fellas gotta eat.
2:02… this sounds like a prequel in the making.
DUDE I WOULD LOVE THAT!
Mike Ehrmantraut did serve in the Vietnam War (Confirmed) and it would be so cool to see what he went thruogh, not just in Vietnam but what else happened.
Gotta love the attention to detail in this show, like when Mike already decided that he's not going to buy rifle, he cleans it for any prints.
Mike, back in the world.
This actor was also great in Deadwood.
Was very excited to see bobby from supernatural on here!!
A match rifle with good ammo will rarely if ever jam MIKE
These two guys and a vacuum dealer would make such a great team
MORE! MORE!
Listen, Mike, if you don’t want the SR-25 I’ll take it
The basic power of strong dialog in the hands of skilled actors. Highly effective and enjoyable.
The M-40. Yes.
He should have included a bolt action with a 10 round magazine.
I wonder what Lawson thought after he heard of Walt's contraption with the M60
The emf is going nuts
Scenes like this are so hilarious. The exposition for people who have no idea makes sense, but for people who actually know guns or worked with them, they're silly and often ridiculous.
Examples?
Sounds like the scriptwriter skimmed Wikipedia when he wrote this
@@atlasking6110 Well first of all, that second gun does not jam. Second of all, when Mike moves the bolt on the bolt action gun, the guy goes "you seem to know this one" - but moving the bolt action is like opening a door to a car LOL.
"It fires a 50 cal bmg; very effective against vampires, shapeshifters, demons and the like..."
Man, there's an arms dealer who understands good customer service.
I love the detail here of Mike wiping down the gun after touching it.
I'm not sure why but I love that scene.
Seemed like an intentional sign of good faith when Mike whipped out that fat stack at the end, ostensibly to tip the dealer, but really to show him that he had come prepared to buy.
There is a clip from newsroom where Patrick Fabian asks someone else if they have "bieber feaver" I laughed for ten Seconds straight, couldnt find it on youtube, it's I think in the 6th or 7th Episode. I will look it up later, please upload the Clip to your Channel, I think many people have never seen it and its really a treat 😂
The side characters in these shows are beyond greatness. The vet, the gun dealer, the cartell guys...
Lawson & Mike, two level headed men showing appreciation for firearms and professional courtesy.
Mike and Bobby, deadly combo
Reminds me of a scene in Taxi Driver
Except instead of buying everything he buys nothing.
Moms: I bet our little boys are having so much fun over there!
The boys:
This gun dealer vs Yuri Orlov (Nicholas Cage) from "Lord of War" film
This must have been Bobby Singer's side gig when not "hunting" with the Winchester brothers?
Could almost mistake the voice for that of Rip Torn’s.
You can see how Lawson stays in business, honest, knowledgeable and not pushy with customers and does not ask questions.
How to write a scene that ADDS to you character's depth without that obvious exposition in modern dramas. I would bet Mike is familiar with the M14 and piston powered helicopters.
Details details and details. That’s what I love about Vince Gilligan
Gun running probably beats standing in a cold North Dakota stream panning for gold all day.
Cant say Ive ever seen anyone do that here. Where in ND are tgey doing that?
Excellent salesman.
Wait you guys already uploaded this 3 years ago
That’s a nice little gun.
Couple of old, wise heads talking shop.
So many happy accidents with compelling characters in the Breaking Bad world. They only created the character of Mike because Bob (Saul) wasn’t available the day they needed a “cleaner” for the OD scene, and Jesse didn’t die in season 1 because they liked Aaron Paul so much. …and the shows were so much better because of that.
Exposition without a lot of exposition. ❤
This scene uses the same premise as the gun buy scene in "Taxi Driver" but the writer makes the two characters here more ethical, less mercenary, more human. (I'm sorry that I don't yet know the writer/producer name.) This series is full of memorable scenes, character, dialogue, writing...No wonder Jonathan Banks became so emotional about being given the opportunity to do the role and was so grateful to his colleagues for their ability to help create something like this. Something that can touch and change people. Very cool.
Yeah now he’s old and forgotten and his career dried up
I think another BB spin-off worth exploring is the adventures of the gun dealer. No need for a big overarching story, just the good ol' chap selling guns, switching POV to the new owner for half the episode and then back to the gun dealer watching news on TV about his gun being used.
And all the customers stories get tied together, and we don't know until the end of the season.

Ah the M40
"Hey Travis this is easy Andy he's a traveling salesman"...
Gun Dealer was in Dead Wood HBO series..
One thing I always wonder, seeing these clips, is why someone would need a black market gun dealer in a state where you could buy any of these guns at Cabela's.
bc they'd have serial numbers on them. and mike doesn't look like the type of guy who does the filing
Bobby?!!
Why would the serial number matter if it wasn’t your gun? If you get caught with it then you’re screwed. If you use it, dump it somewhere and it gets found then the serial number isn’t coming back to you anyways.
It matters because if you have the S/N the gun can be traced. It can lead to the dealer and from there to the customer. The police can do it for sure.
@@lucianene7741 yeah but I’m not the customer. I’m the person that bought it after it was stolen from the customer
Like how he wiped his own prints off the last rifle.
I'd take the SR-25
