The folding chair. A lightweight, compact, yet sturdy design for a growing demand of a reliable portable seating item. Founded by Joseph Beverly Fenby, the fold-able chair was design around 1855. And patented by the British engineer in 1877. The chair was use to combat the needs of a portable, cheap seating item. Most commonly use for camping, holding large parties, and on the go it was one the remarkable weapon suitable for transportation. And sturdy enough to leave huge bruises on wrestling champions. The chair are typically made of aluminum for its phenomenal strength-to-weight ratio, and by today it is made out of hard plastic, metal or wood. Coated rip-stop nylon is the fabric of choice for the seating material durability, water resistance, and comfort. It usefulness in combat mark it stages as a unchallenged vanity weapon and tool. Can be wield one or two handed, it can be a effective blunt weapon, most commonly use as the weapon of choice among World Wrestling Entertainment players. In 1947, Fredric Arnold created the first aluminum folding chair with fabric strapping for the seat and back. By 1957, Fredric Arnold Company of Brooklyn, New York, was manufacturing more than 14,000 chairs per day. Today, the folding chair is mostly made of hard plastic or metal or wood. Ever increasing the might of the weapon. The Deckchair The Director's seat The folding chair.

Our stories began, in a time were words were not even invented yet. Caves, paleolithic and of course... primitive. At that time period, survival was a game of the fittest. Wild beasts wield claws, strong bodies and thick fur. The man, had none. It wasn't that long until humans realize they need a way to increase their lethality, or they'll be at the brink of extinction. Fortunately, the humans were pretty innovative. They quickly realized that with a simple stone, it almost doubles the lethal power of their fists, increasing material damage and can ensure a killing blow when struck correctly. And of course when in an emergency situation, it can be thrown. While not particularly lethal like the spear, nor as accurate as the bow, but it was the first, and it gets the job done. Historians wasn't sure when humans really adopted the stone as a mass weapon given the lack of evidence as time has crumble them and left us nothing but dust, but one thing is certain, it's by the end of the decade, everyone had them. It was humans first show of violence and retaliation, a *far cry* from what other animal's means to defend themselves. But it was this difference of humanity, that ensured their survival until now. Even until today, the stone still remains relevant, as a construction material, used to forge and erect buildings and monuments, or as a symbol of rebellion and resentment.

In Zombie Army Trilogy, when I was out of ammo, there were plenty of MP40s laying around. The game wanted you to stick to the sniper rifle, but a rifle can't do shit against a swarm of flesh-eating Nazi zombies. The MP40 was my weapon of choice. Instead of picking a different SMG, I picked the MP40 since ammo for it was going to be plentiful, what with the zombies sometimes carrying them before they died and shambling around with it in their hands.

Most commonly use for camping, holding large parties, and on the go it was one the remarkable weapon suitable for transportation. And sturdy enough to leave huge bruises on wrestling champions. The chair are typically made of aluminum for its phenomenal strength-to-weight ratio, and by today it is made out of hard plastic, metal or wood. Coated rip-stop nylon is the fabric of choice for the seating material durability, water resistance, and comfort. It usefulness in combat mark it stages as a unchallenged vanity weapon and tool. Can be wield one or two handed, it can be a effective blunt weapon, most commonly use as the weapon of choice among World Wrestling Entertainment players. In 1947, Fredric Arnold created the first aluminum folding chair with fabric strapping for the seat and back. By 1957, Fredric Arnold Company of Brooklyn, New York, was manufacturing more than 14,000 chairs per day. Today, the folding chair is mostly made of hard plastic or metal or wood.

The Stone Natural Heavy Effective
DUDUDUN DUDUN DUDUN
Our stories began, in a time were words were not even invented yet. Caves, paleolithic and of course... primitive. At that time period, survival was a game of the fittest. Wild beasts wield claws, strong bodies and thick fur. The man, had none. It wasn't that long until humans realize they need a way to increase their lethality, or they'll be at the brink of extinction. Fortunately, the humans were pretty innovative. They quickly realized that with a simple stone, it almost doubles the lethal power of their fists, increasing material damage and can ensure a killing blow when struck correctly. And of course when in an emergency situation, it can be thrown. While not particularly lethal like the spear, nor as accurate as the bow, but it was the first, and it gets the job done. Historians wasn't sure when humans really adopted the stone as a mass weapon given the lack of evidence as time has crumble them and left us nothing but dust, but one thing is certain, it's by the end of the decade, everyone had them. It was humans first show of violence and retaliation, a *far cry* from what other animal's means to defend themselves. But it was this difference of humanity, that ensured their survival until now. Even until today, the stone still remains relevant, as a construction material, used to forge and erect buildings and monuments, or as a symbol of rebellion and resentment.

My only criticism is that perhaps there's too much emphasis on the production value. The actual information side of things is a little on the lacking side (perhaps that isn't the intent of the video).
“The mp40 served only in a five year band.” Insurgents and Vietcong: Well yes, but actually no

Agreed. Same with the StG 44, another German weapon that saw limited use at the end of WW2.
Which side is using it tho?
if you think that’s crazy, the bloody maxim mg is being used. it’s a more recent 7.62x54R version, but keep in mind that the original maxim patent was in 1883, making it closer to the 1776 american revolution than the 2022 ukraine conflict.

@@harveyknguyen 48 was used in NAM and AAC is the call of duty game. I think tanks or fights will ever come also this what I could think or wanted
@@wheneggsdrop1701 the M48 patton is still pretty much thrown under the bus (along with the M46 and M47) by the M60 Patton And also just because the Honey Badger has been in like 5 games doesn't make it iconic It hasn't made any traction in real life either Also I doubt Stuart's going to talk about tanks and planes since they aren't going to be very common in games besides tank/flight sims
I wonder if he will return, sad the algorithm doesn't give more attention to these well liked, entertaining, informative, high quality videos.
It has over a million views..
I don't think child friendly censorship helps this channel out when the subject matter is killing machines
Just made a video yesterday
He could try googling the subject for a few minutes to be sure he doesn't come out with mis-information, this is my first of his videos and, well, he could use a fact-checker, and needs to be clearer when what he is saying is his subjective opinion and not a fact.
It feels like KZhead's algorithms give all attention to garbage clickbait videos that waste everyones time.

Ok that reload transition at 8:28 from day of defeat to wolfenstein was slick as hell
Though I won't be able to get past the fact that that Day of defeat example is on...cs_office. the counterstrike map.
It's made by Valve so no surprises there. CS is a mod yknow. Maps were reused valve assets.
It's always a good day when Ahoy releases a new vid.
Hopefully you have more than a few good days a year. Maybe when egoraptor uploads too.
More like an outstanding one
You're god damn right
It's always a good day when Ahoy releases an Iconic Arms video! Or any video for that matter. Keep up the great work!

Yes
Is he named Soap because he actually dropped the soap?
New video, time to go hibernate for another 4 years till next ahoy video comes out.
Sleep well!

Damn good to see Ahoy back, PS the MP40 did show up in Vietnam in the hands of the Viet Cong (and some US special forces) and it’s represented in Rising Storm 2 Vietnam
Vietnam War Memes *Intensifies
Something Something Jazz Hands you're thinking about the S&W 76 being used by us special operations but yes the mp40 did find its way into the north
Rising Storm 2 Vietnam is one of my fav war games.
The AKS's folding stock was taken from the MP-40
İntergalactic Terrorist well we (US) didn't adopt the mp5 so early because it was brand new, unproven and too expensive
They used to call me a madman.
😂😂😂
I have suggestions/request for this series: 1- Glock 17 2- .50 Barrett
Barret hasnt achieved that legendary status, give it around 5-10 years and it'll be one.
Holly Crap he just did the Glock 17 yesterday
.50 isnt weil known outside of the US, only like 5 countries use it
@Juan Sanchez Again, it wasnt really used that massively outside of the US, but it sure as hell is an iconic firearm of the US military that almost HAS to be the topic of one of his videos in the future ^^
Chao Wingching Hongfingshong PingPangPong he still needs to do it
Ahoy uploads are basically holidays. So much quality in each video.
This is a rare, but nonetheless exquisite treat.
delicious mlmlmlmlmlm

The last Iconic Arms video (P90) was uploaded in April 2017, almost TWO full years ago. Hoping more of this series. [Thank you for the likes]
They require a lot of effort, they require research, transitions,art,voice overs, etc not to mention that he also has a real-life.
@@jerrell1169 including making those vector arts and gathering some gameplay footages
He took a break after season 3 ended. This is now the first Iconic Arms video of what I assume to be season 4. So, we should be expecting a whole bunch more of these to come out soon enough. :)
Yeah, this series is what brought me to his channel
I know right!? When I saw this I started screaming like a little girl I was so happy
These videos are so high quality that I could pay to watch these
Well... you can.
But don’t. Appreciate that it’s free. If I could though, I would donate a good amount to him.
P A T R E O N
i literally just saw your comments on the drums visualized with balls comment
Amen
I love how he refers says how COD 'went Sci-fi' there is a a hint of agression and regret in his voice
He was definitely saying that in the nicest possible way lol
I mean scifi Cod wasn't all bad. Black ops 3 had good multiplayer and infinite warfare had a good campaign. the rest was pretty terrible though
@@lettherebegames8 bro you forgot about BO2, IMO it was probably the only sci fi COD game that was great all-around

quality over quantity they say
The simplistic color schemes
Dude, where are you? We *CRAVE* more of your intellectual descriptions of iconic weapons!
Rose Supreme He came back
@@spiartslite3233 'bout time. But I feel he'll vanish again for a while.
Rose Supreme Well he just uploaded one about the glock. As much as I do wish he would upload more, I understand that it takes time for him to really dig deep with his research which is what makes his content of such high quality. He doesn’t just google a gun and just read off the first website he comes across
@@NepSpoon He also has a family, children
At 10:30 I get chills when the screen goes black and he makes it full circle. This man is an amazing writer.
OOOOOOOOOH I've waited ages for new Iconic Arms episode! Cheers,Ahoy!
WOW dude, this video is very cool. i can't wait till you make another one **Waits for eternity**
HA! quality or quantity. The age-old question. Yes he takes forever, but by the emperor it's worth it.
He also has a kid now. So tending to him (?) is pretty much a priority. Wishing Stu did Bonus again though. I miss that.
Two-three years ago I think. It’s a boy. Geoffrey I think his name was, or something with a G. Right Stu?
I got an 90% Grade on my history essay because of this video. Thank you so much Ahoy.
Really? You're History class is based around German firearms? Lucky bastard
I really wish Ahoy still made videos. They're all straight bangers. Excellent sound editing, great voiceover, amazing visuals. Every 6 months or so I just let the whole-ass playlist go.
He does make vids, just takes a while to make them due to the production quality
This is it chief.

Why do I see you on every single video 😂 Then again, who doesn't love a good firearm.
Nice to see you!
Your long format documentaries are god tier. But it's great to see the classic short form content back!
Judging by your profile pic , you like some DAKKA don't you ?
the MP-40 is usually my smg of choice whenever playing Medal of Honor: Above & Beyond super underrated game in my opinion
Amen to that brother! Although in multiplayer I use the stg 44.
@@frankblazer6377 oh yeah, the stg44 is amazing in MOH:A&B but i always feel guilty using it lol. usually i run the lever action lol. them one taps are something else
I hope you are doing good bro. The community post feature is a great way to update your audience without having to go through and make a whole nother video. These have great quality and I would love for a new installment to the series.

@AHOY, been a huge fan of your work since your early days making informative gun videos for COD4 and I still get excited to see your work on KZhead whenever you post. Keep it up! And I'm forever crossing my fingers that you may revisit those informative gun videos for some of the newer CODS that have guns you didn't cover before or even remaking your old ones My fondest memories are from watching your work from those days. Best wishes and until next time!
The gun you always picked up if you ran out of ammo
Or for the lolz
Matt nah only when you run out of ammo
ConFall so true, there's ammo for it everywhere
The gun that was more accurate when hip-fired than a Sniper Rifle,
The gun you always picked up -if you ran out of ammo-
I never, EVER thought that this would return, please keep this going
How embarrassing it was for my ignorant 12 year old brain to tell a WWII vet that my favorite gun was the mp40 from WaW
I don’t know why but listening to this while playing WW2 games is absolutely amazing, and plus I’d say the MP 40 from Cod world at war, it feels like ummm chunky when you shoot it, it’s so satisfying when you hear the chunky sounds of the metal clanging together while each round fired puts zombies into little bits and pieces of flesh. Best game ever too.
Awesome content as always. See you in 2023 for the next one!
LooooL
Quality over quantity.
Yeah, $24000 a year for uploading 2-3 videos a year. Laughing all the way to the bank.
So glad you made this video. I still have the MP40 that my grandfather captured from german waffen SS, when he was in the resistance.
What country are you from?
Yayo' Ariowibowo I’d guess a former Yugoslav nation like Croatia or Serbia or maybe Poland, both nations have pretty restrictive gun laws so it’d probably have to be deactivated
Vulpes Inculta probably not Croatia, they got along surprisingly well with the Nazies, mostly because of their ethnic ties with non Slavic peoples in the region
From where your grandfather was?
Argyrus 47 yo that’s sick...your grandfather your g.o.a.t
This guy can talk about a door and make it sound like it had the power to drop a nuclear payload with the switch of a button
this channel brings back so many memories when i played COD used to always watch which class set up was the best even though no matter which set up i used i would never be good enough . this channel is like the first form of ASMR.
That ending got me so pumped up!
yeah i missed his videos :D
Well done as always. The audio quality always blows me away.
i want to know so bad what mic he is using
Scary part is: it shoots faster, and is more controllable than gameplay tends to show. the MP was a beast, and a fitting match to the .45 Thompson.
i loved these iconic weapons videos and its already been 2 years since this came out! time flies
I hope a new video is due soon! Really miss your voice, and I can only re-watch all your videos a certain amount of times!
E
I was expecting you to get more recognition lol.
@@ZacharySkan who is he
the man the myth the legend AHOY IS BACK
ikr i love them chips ahoy
In Zombie Army Trilogy, when I was out of ammo, there were plenty of MP40s laying around. The game wanted you to stick to the sniper rifle, but a rifle can't do shit against a swarm of flesh-eating Nazi zombies. The MP40 was my weapon of choice. Instead of picking a different SMG, I picked the MP40 since ammo for it was going to be plentiful, what with the zombies sometimes carrying them before they died and shambling around with it in their hands.
The perfect voice doesn't exi-
I love the mix of gaming and the historic accuracy and education
Anyone notice the teaser for the next video in the description? Its gonna be an hour of sultry commentary hot enough to make Morgan Freeman blush.
Yep. The first video game. I'm hyped 😁
I'm hyped too I can't wait! :)

i like how this went from history to video games
Stuart Brown began his channel as a video game review & commentary space. The "Iconic Arms" series is rooted in this, but expands to talk about the real world origins and history.
The first scene of this video is basically a fucking video game
His name used to be “XboxAhoy” and his channel was gaming focused. Pretty sure he still plays them, he just make gaming videos anymore.
are videogames not part of history?
That's how he does ALL his weapon-related documentaries.
7:55-8:00 I thought that allied use of the MP40 might naturally come out of field necessity... At least that’s the... way that videogames... described it. I just figured my character was trained in the operation of the MP40. Or could finagle a similarly operated SMG. I’d wanna know how to work an MP40 if my Thompson ran out.
4 poles stuck into a board with comfortable material. A bigger board stuck in the back. Favorite weapon of the WWE fighters. The chair.

Not only is your script extremely impressive, but your graphic design work is stellar as well!
Damn i love this series. I hope he continues it.
New Ahoy to sooth my nerves with gun talk
It’s honestly one of my favorite pastimes.
Very nice video Ahoy and it nice to see iconic arms return with a worthy weapon to kick it off. Also thanks for showing the similarities in the use of the mp-40 from the E-5 blaster in starwars and witch further recognizes George Lucas's inspiration from ww1-2 for arguably the most popular scifi movie ever created
@Cyrian Genesis yeah Han Solo's DL-44 is based off of it
I just got around to Far Cry 5 recently, and it's really cool that I can parachute in with an MP40 using a suppressor and red dot. I get to act as a fallschirmjaeger that the Peggies should've just ignored.
I love your videos especially about history, Keep it up. Very informative and educational yet entertaining .Cheers :))
