If any of you follow gun content on YouTube, you're probably aware of the late Ernest Barry Elliot of Iraqveteran8888.

Fuck him. He was a racist and a sexist. He knew borderline nothing about the subjects he talked about, and spread lots of racist disinformation.

His famous "grab your crotch and hold the gun sideways" scene is a perfect example. Machine pistols become a fair bit more controllable when held at a 45 degree angle (see any hickok45 video about a machine pistol). Due to the huge dump of cheap machine pistols into american inner cities in the 80s, this became a fixture of rap videos (usually with a MAC 11) and therefore became "wrong" in the eyes of our terminally white boomer.

Beyond that, most of his info on cartridge selection and accessories is just straight up wrong.

    Baeu is pretty good. I never thought of him as a gun youtuber though.
