Why I ask for support through Patreon:
I love the firearms community and am thrilled to be able to give back to it by way of producing content for it. I want to both continue my pace of content production as well as improve its quality, all while adding to its diversity (shooting for accuracy videos, destructive target testing, high speed / slow motion, etc).

Appearances aside, I am not just some rich guy with a ton of guns. I had a good job and ideal set of circumstances for a few years that allowed me to invest heavily in building up a sizeable collection. Those circumstances are changing, and now I am turning to the community to help continue to make this channel exciting and successful. Your help and support are greatly appreciated.

All funds received by YouTube (very insignificant as firearms videos are largely demonetized) and by supporters via Patreon are to be reinvested into this channel in the following ways:
Purchase and import of new feature firearms/gear: Being in Canada, it is often difficult for manufacturers/distributors to send me firearms for testing and review. Instead, I often have to purchase them personally, and in some cases even import them into the country.
Ammunition: It takes funds to run the guns enough to be able to get a good overall impression for an accurate review.
Production value: I am always looking to add better camera and lighting gear to be able to improve the final product you see.
Range and targets: from more static steel targets, to future destructive target testing.
Travel to distributors/manufacturers/industry shows to get the content on the latest and greatest

The SIG SG 55x rifles in Canada are referred to the SAN SWISS Classic Green & Black Special. Until recently, they were considered Non-Restricted based on barrel length, meaning that with a 18.5"+ barrel it is legal to own with a PAL and can be shot wherever it is legal to discharge firearms. With the implementation of C71 legislation, these will move to a prohibited class (12.9), and owners will be grandfathered. The CSA vz58 bonus gun at the end is in the same "non-restricted based on barrel length" category, and is therefore restricted in its current setup along with the 553. They both require a RPAL to possess and in addition to being registered in a federal database, have addition storage, transport, sale, and discharge restrictions.
