Nutnfancy SCAR 17S Review

@Danny Gonzalez Read my comment above, his video can be sub 20 minutes if he didn't blabber on about "pou" or whatever other acronym he's tossing around, and if he cut out all the footage of him romping around the desert, it would go a lot quicker. I edit shows and documentaries, and if I use ALL the footage I get (whic nutn seems to do) id be fired so fast my head would spin. There is no excuse, its just simply unprofessional. He also will sometimes spend more time on the accessories than the gun! If he wants to do that, he should make a separate video. If I click on his review of the 10/22, I don't care about how his lgs couldn't match the dura coat on the scope to the scope rings, I care about the gun.

@Zack mars I didn't want to pick on you but now that you bring u bring up your "professional" twice and apply it to a youtube viewer, i will have to respond.

first of all, you just happened to mention POU and it's ironic that that's the Nutn acronym you picked because it's by far the most important consideration in his lexicon. philosophy of use is by far the most important consideration you need to look at when you're evaluating a weapon. Every gun does the same thing on a very basic level...it sends a projectile downrange, but I assume that as an intelligent person you also know that not every gun fulfills every role equally. In the firearms industry there is a MASSIVE amount of misinformation floating around because of marketing that is often very misleading (ie. if you look at most advertisements they try to make their guns look like they're for elite tier one operators only) and also there's a lot of misinformation because of internet forums and claims made by people who don't have to back them up with things like youtube videos proving they actually shoot these guns. I appreciate nutnfancy going over POU there are SO MANY people out there who are looking for firearms to fill multiple roles because that maximizes value... concealed carry, home defense, duty use, competition, fun gun, SHTF, WROL, all of these are considerations and some consumers might be trying to find one gun (probably g19) that could do all these things acceptably or maybe they're looking for a gun that excels at just 1 or 2 aspects ... obviously this is nothing new to YOU since you know everything about guns already, but i guarantee you there are lots of consumers out there who watch his videos who ARE NOT giving enough thought to POU considerations and they NEED TO or they're wasting their money. The fact that Nutn puts an ice little acronym to a concept is irrelevant - it's still a fundamental consideration that shouldn't be overlooked and I think if anyone pooh-poohs that and wants to say its not worth taking the time to analyze on a video then they are guilty of tactical elitism and just intellectually lazy.

Moving on... you have mentioned twice now that "if i used all the footage I took I would be fired" first of all your premise statement is bullshit because what matters is the product you're selling nobody cares how much, if any was left on the cutting room floor. You might think the end product is too long or too short, but your opinion about that is irrelevant to the amount of source material you are working with.

I like how you mentioned that "if he cut all the footage of him romping around the desert" I really like how you bring that up because people love to Hickock 45 and what does he do? Almost every single video is of him in the same backyard shooting the same targets with a different gun and barely talking about it at all. No offense to Hickock of course he is one of the best shooters I've ever seen but why do you attack Nutn for setting up his shoots in the desert when everybody else does the same thing?

You say "(whic [sic] nutn seems to do)" but you are flatly wrong about this. I know you were just making an assumption without any sort of facts to support your thesis, but if you just take the example of the scar 17 video he JUST posted, you can plainly see that there is a ton of scar footage he didn't put in the video but is available in his other videos... in fact Nutn plainly says "you have seen this gun in XXX and YYY drills so if you want more footage of it, go watch those videos" thus we can clearly know that Nutn doesn't use all of his footage so even if you want to apply that standard of judgement on his videos you are still wrong.

You say you edit shows and documentaries...lets all have a round of applause for you *claps for Zachary* I am sure you do a great job making shows and documentaries but Nutnfancy videos are not shows for entertainment and they are NOT a documentary (which i assume the majority of the ones you produce are probably for entertainment and NOT education anyway)

Nutnfancy videos, more than anything else, reflect two things... a consumer report...and a dialogue...an ongoing discussion between the youtuber (nutn) and his audience (subscribers + lurkers and trolls like some of the haters you see) brevity and pretty editing are not a priority. the emphasis is on comprehensive information that is valuable and relevant to the consumer.

So yeah, please leave your profession out of it because it just goes to show that you're unfairly applying an unrealistic standard of judgement on a medium of communication that isn't analogous to what you do in any way whatsoever. Nutn doesn't work for you or anyone. You, as an editor do however, work for someone and to be perfectly frank... if your documentaries that you produce don't achieve the message (even if that message is terribly biased...and I've seen enough biased documentaries not to have any naivete on this) that your producers want to give...no matter how misleading...you would be fired. I am glad Nutnfancy makes his videos in his own style and from the heart and not beholden to anyone; not his viewers, or a particular manufacturer, or the opinions of internet trolls.

@Danny Gonzalez He says "pou" hundreds of times in his vid why? Why the hell can't he just say, this is a good battle rifle, but no, he has to use some stupid acronyms. And we aren't talking about Hickok, but at least he doesn't engage in mall ninja terminology. Oh, and my job gives me a unrealistic judgment? Not too unrealistic, because iv8888's videos are perfect as are vuurwapens, and while Hickoks vids can be long, at least he doesn't act like a wanna be sf operator. Its all in the editing, and its not that hard, like I said, if I watch his 10/22 review, the last thing I care about is the boxes of toys in the room, or how he prefers coyote tan to acupat. Damn, if you arw going to blabber about the virtues of coyote tan in a desert environment, make a separate video

@Zack mars The pou consideration will keep you from wasting money on firearms that you don't actually have a good use for and will force you to evaluate firearms based on your actual need.
