From Season 4, Episode 02: "Thirty-Eight Snub"
Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family's financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in the world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White's releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.

Only in Breaking Bad could a back-alley gun dealer recommend legally purchasing a firearm lmfao
if Mike uses him then he is in the upper league, so he doesn't care if he loses business.
@@drakZesyep he said it himself he makes his money off of repeat business with hitmen like mike walt is small fry to him at this point
Just an honest character, if it was just for defence you’re likely to always keep it on you hence more possible you have a random traffic stop and cops are trained to spot it and they will. He doesn’t want his customer getting locked up for just carrying it.
It’s called fixing good
He's probably aprehensive to do business with an ameteur who seems to be buying the gun on an impulse
The illegal gun dealer always has the coolest conversations with both Mike and Walter and is definitely not some slimy dude who's just looking for a quick buck.
Funny thing, even the Twins arm dealer didn't come across as slimey. Weird and kinda annoying, but he had zero intent in trying to fleece the Twins. He didn't seem remotely intimidated by them, so can't attribute that.
@@nahor88 At least they still paid him and gave him extra for his broken rib.
@@nahor88 As goofy as he was, given the buisness he is in he is probably use to people like the twins and given his clientel he probably knew it would be quite literally a fatal mistake to try and fool one of his clients
Yes. He gave a genuine professional feel to this underworld of theirs
Elsworth is a good man. He married the widow Garret
Are you telling me that a serial number just happens to get filed off like that? No, he orchestrated it!
JIMMY!!
Lawson!
"He defecated through a sunroof"
Now he gets to be caught carrying this?! What a sick joke!
@@ItsMagic. To the uninitiated a gun with defaced serial seems alluring and more dangerous.. Thats all this scene was.. An arms dealer might file the serial to protect their livelihood but they would never sell it to you with that as a positive attribute..
“Basically any law man worth a salt is gonna spot that” In other words. “Yes, Mike is going to see that immediately”.
It's been awhile since i've watched show but didn't Mike spot this smaller gun he got anyways? Haha.
Same gun dealer Mike bought his sniper rifle from and Walt would buy more firepower to go after Uncle Jack and Jesse.
Same gun Mike also killed the crooked cops with in Better Call Saul flashback
@@maxvader1000 Mike used the revolver because it doesn't leave shells behind, plus he was more old school.
"I make my livin' on repeat business."
This has Taxi Driver vibes all over it.
Almost the opposite of Easy Andy in many ways; an excellent foil. Easy Andy is slimey, exaggerates, and uninformed about his product (he gets a lot of things wrong about the guns he's selling). This arms dealer is succinct, matter of fact, and knowledgeable about his product.
I just adore the gun seller in BB. The guy is one of the must succinct characters on TV.
actor did a great job in deadwood. and was also in S4 of Justified IIRC
The gun dealer is basically reinforcing Walt's idea to kill Gus when he says "a man stepts to you bent on doing bodily harm, you got every right to plant your feet and shoot to kill."
Some call it a moral right, and I do include myself within that class.
Yeah but not unless you are in a 🟦 state.
@@PoonTang-sf8knthere’s a reason hearts are ❤ red
@@PoonTang-sf8knto be fair it’s more easier to get a gun in blue states illegally I’ve heard in the hood Massachusetts and Chicago selling them like wildfire despite having strict gun laws
@@UGOISCOOLNOWYou've heard wrong. At least, in Chicago.
thing with the gun dealer, if you think about it, this guy has to be in the black book that the vet had. the one that ended up with saul. the black book had a lot of names and it also had things like how good the guy in question was for the service it provided. the gun dealer has to be most profesional one in the book, and of course is the one that saul recommended walt. for this encounter. mike probably got the name from the vet or from saul too.
Mike had to have got the dealers name frome the Vet, since Mike and the gun dealer met before Jimmy even got the Black Book. But I think Walter got the name of this dealer from Saul and not Mike, seeing as Walt is purchasing a gun to kill Gus (and Mike would likely smell that intent from Walt).
@@_Tozzie_ it has been some years, but dont mike and the vet talk at the beginning of bcs? as im, mike knew the vet was in and asked work from him, so likely mike got in touch with the dealer from the vet
Waltuh you can’t hide that gun from me waltuh
3:00-3:07 Walt ego shattered a bit realizing this guy thinks Saul is more important.
Not really. He's suggesting Saul is usually referring rather dangerous clients.
"If you can't get it done with five, then you're into spray and pray, in which case I wouldn't count on another six closing the deal." Funnily enough, Gus was lucky enough that he did get it down with five, spraying and praying.
1:39 I like this type of gun enthusiast the best. He gives his preference, but doesn’t disparage the newer options.
this and the john wick gun sommelier are some of my favorite gun dealers
2:56 "I don't answer questions"...
he was practicing that flank
Until I see otherwise, that's Bobby in new Mexico for a hunt, masquerading as a weapons dealer.
walt never use it as defense.
This whole scene had to be a reference to Taxi Driver
He could had sold that to some "j " bunny up in harlem!
How did nobody in this show speculate that Walt can be an undercover cop
Saul didn’t, and a lot of people met Walt through him. Saul didn’t because Walk kidnapped him.
My personal interpretation is that Saul absolutely thought Walt was an undercover cop when he offered to bribe saul, then realised he was an actual criminal when he got kidnapped.
Waltuh put the gun away waltuh
Almost anyone in Walt’s position would’ve done the same thing.
Not without his massive IQ and protagonistic luck
“Either way you’re gonna want to practice your draw. A lot.”
“Because if you’re all fingers, it might could be him, keeping the piece instead of you; catch my drift?”
Walter didn't clean the first gun before returning it
Lawson would probably do it.
Why is the ending theme to these videos straight fire
I think it would be good to have a piece like that regardless for a rainy day.
exactly
Haha!
This is the thing I think people miss about guns. They're not pure upside to the person carrying. Not talking about the idea of being targeted for it either. A gun is a Go To Prison Button if improperly used. Lots of people that carry them are too untrained or hotheaded to know when that does and doesn't apply. Doubly so in the case of the clip, as simply owning it puts you at risk. It's a weapon, but then so is the Sword of Damocles.
There’s no reason to file the serial number off. That serial number isn’t tied to Walt, it just makes things riskier for him
The serial number is tied to the seller. And thats why he recommended him to buy a gun legally, because to him there is no point to selling illegal guns in a state that allows you to get one legally.
@@DrSabot-Ahe recommended buying legally if it was for strictly defensive purposes.
@@stellarwind1946 The purpose does not matter at all, Walt was/is going to shoot a criminal mastermind anyways it wouldnt have mattered if it were self defense since he cant go to the police anyways. Its about not being caught during a routine police stop with a felony in his pocket
@@DrSabot-A But if he bought the gun legally, and the bullets can be traced back to him, is it not in his best interest for the bullets not to be found in Gus’ body?
@@cakerbaby69 Despite what you see in movies, there is no registry of ballistics to match up bullets and spent casings to a specific firearm. The police have to actually find the firearm to match up ballistics to a specific gun.
I wonder if the gun dealer at this point in the calendar year remotely imagined that Walt would later be coming back to upgrade to a M60 Machine Gun
2:34 - five times the price for filling off the serial number? Do they ever say how much the piece costs him?
I have a very similar firearm that cost around $400 a few years back. So Walt probably paid around a grand for a $200 gun. And as explained in Better Call Saul, he didn't just file off the serial number. He put it through a special stamper that makes recovering the number extremely difficult.
@@alexanderchippel Interesting, thanks.
defense my ass lmao
it's more or less what you want to tell yourself
I find it weird he has a gun now and not before
This is the exact moment when Walter wanted to kill mike
no it wasnt
Man, this arch pisses me off to no end. Not saying it's poorly written. I just personally hate how Heisenberg is legit about to destroy EVERYTHING he built with Gus all because Gus made a weird threat in front of him, Jesse, and Mike. Gus: *coughs* Heisenberg: JESSE!!!! HE'S GONNA KILL US!!!!!
Walter was 100% right though. Since the start, Gus had always planned to kill off Walt. Either through terminating business with him and letting him fall victim to the cartel or by replacing him with Gale. Walter was always a temporary piece in Gus's game and Gus knew from the start Walt would be disposable. Man has lung cancer for christ's sake.
Yeah, I was not a huge fan of it either. Seasons 2 and 3 were so smoothly written and everything fell perfectly into place. Season 4 felt completely forced in comparison, but still much better than most tv.
You both seem to have forgotten when this scene takes place in. This is after Gus had sent Victor and Mike to murder Walt and Jesse. This is after Jesse had killed Gale and after Gus wordlessly slit his employee's throat in front of them while staring them down. Yeah just some weird vague threat yup 😂 He WAS about to kill them both you idiot 😂
@@unusualusername8847 The Cartel bit is just not accurate since he redirected to twins to grab Hank instead. He never intended to let go of Heisenberg.
@@JustinCage56he didn't do it out of the kindness of his own heart, he wanted to damage both sides, the cartel and the DEA at once and that's why he gave Hank a warning call, what happened in the parking lot was the best possible outcome for Gus
Why the big hooha over serial numbers, not like they dont make thousands of revolvers
there are a ton, but serializing can help them trace the owner later. Someone buys a gun, the serial is marked, and somewhere a file is created saying they bought that exact gun at a certain date. If the person tries to hide or get rid of it after committing a crime, then the cops can find it (disposed of somewhere, at the scene of that crime/of a different crime, etc), check the serial, and seek out that file that says the person owned that gun at the time of its use in a crime. If they just keep it, then they'll have to secretly possess incriminating evidence and hope no other pieces of evidence make them a suspect. Police interrogate about a crime with a gun, check the person's serial, same thing. It's not incriminating all on its own, but hard to counter.
When you buy a gun there is a record of your purchase attached to the serial number and the police will trace the gun back to its original sale by the licensed dealer. Its also how people will report a stolen gun.
The point of serial numbers is to track thousands, millions of items even. Your comment makes zero sense.
So what does knowing where snub nose .38 revolver #2473929 was bought help a case? Maybe it was bought ten years ago in a gun shop five states away and the owner lost it 😉
@@jessicaregina1956 Because many of them were purchased legally and then sold to black market dealers. Having the serial numbers intact can trace back to the original purchasers. This black market dealer may have his supply from the same dozen people who legally buy guns on the regular and resell them to him.
The scene is cool but how could anyone survive and not go to jail with 30years of selling illegal firearm? If so how could anyone able to find him to purchase his product
Worst gun advice ever.
What specifically?
@@chocolateguy5293, recommending a 38spl J-frame and 158gr HPs for starters. Also the “if 5 ain’t gonna do it, another 6 won’t either”? Not to mention a friction fit holster for IWB with no secondary retention? Whatever. Good enough for TV plebs I suppose.
@@ReelDonaldTrump I’m a TV pleb so idk most of what you said lol (although I’d like to learn) I do remember saying the same about the “if 5 won’t do it another 6 won’t either” line. All it takes is one to change history.
@ReelDonaldTrump It was his last recommendation, did you not see Walt denying the automatic?
@ReelDonaldTrump There's nothing wrong with the advice. Its just from another school of though. This isn't a duty carry and will be enough in 99.9% of self defense situations. The only change I would make is the ammo. 158 grain +P is hotter and heavier then it needs to be especially out of a 2 inch, light frame revolver. There is also nothing wrong with the holster. I've been CC'ing a strapless, friction fit, IWB holster for the last 15 years years and never had a problem with my well fitted and well worn Galco. You have to remember a CC is made to get you out of a sticky situation, not to be in fire fights with (in which all pistols are trash anyways).
The writing is too good.
