Ian McCollum is the gun guru everyone needs. This is a great platform for documentary style content on modern and historical technology that goes boom, bang, and pow. It's fun and informative. But at the same time it's sad that larger media sharing platforms have such a disdain for this kind of content. I hope this app is immensely successful and proves them all wrong.

For $10.00 a month, there needs to be better content from Forgotten Weapons. That channel is the main reason I tried and paid for the app initially. I don't watch or subscribe to the other channels. Been a fan of Forgotten Weapons for years, however, I don't feel like the content justifies the price. The very short shooting videos that aren't being made available on YouTube by Forgotten Weapons seems odd, considering YT hosts other machinegun shooting videos still. Watch them for free on Playeur

Superb. This is the information dispersal I've craved for. It helps with enthusiasts, gunsmiths, gun history, gun buffs, and general knowledge of firearms. I've gotten as much as I can (and will continue) from YouTube, BUT for the chance to gain even more and support THE Informers? Absolutely worth my time and money. Was looking into gifting these to my family members for year long subscriptions that are former military as myself and we're all shooters/hunters. Absolutely a necessity. Much love
