It's a Trap! 018: Federal/Monark Hand Trap

Def buddies with Kevin.

I love this series it’s like a history and a comedy rolled into one

Yes, Kevin Needs more friends. 😁

These hand trap episodes are the best. All of you are fantastic and Kevin is the best.

I want to be Kevin's friend. I think Kevin and I would get along well in fact. Another great episode guys. Othais yo are wrong these are history. Millions, well okay a lot, of shot gun shooters learned to shoot moving targets with these hand held traps. I think it's a great series. Thank you guys.

I want all of you as friends because you are people I would feel comfortable around.

Really like you all, and yes would be a friend with Kevin

I would sincerely love to be friends with Kevin. Each & every trap episode puts a smile to my face.

I’m so glad I stayed until the very end!

She might be the first person to sleep on a Lewis gun since WWI.

I think we missed out not knowing Mae passed out on the Lewis during Project Lightening. Would have been perfect for the blooper vids (sorry if I missed it in the blooper vids). I'm really surprised how well the Monarch does compared to a lot of the others. The only experience I have is with the bright orange plastic ones. But those are pretty dang good for just blasting for fun. But as far as the classics go, all the complicated spring-loaded stuff we've seen, this one wings them in a good line for popping clays. And since Kevin hates compliments, he's a good addition for these light-hearted segments.

There should definitely be a Kevin's Friend t-shirt.

We need a "Kevin's Friend" t-shirt.

Thank you once again for this great and funny series. You made my day. <3

What!? I thought we were friends

I don't think there's anything wrong with trading sandwiches for friendship

Wonderful as always, love the light tone. Are y'all now the world experts on antique hand traps?

Y'all just seem to be fun to hang with, gotta figure how to send beers...

I would love to be friends with all of you, Kevin especially!

I want to be Kevin's friend

That ending, lmao. Also, I want to go to Brandon Herrera's channels and start calling him that

I would love to be friends with all of you.

Actually, the three of you all qualify as members in good standing of my pantheon of imaginary online friends

Wing one by Birchwood Casey $30.00. Looks to be cheaply made compared to the Federal.

Works really well for such a simple design; truly brilliant.

thought we were friends.. you know think I just couldn't handle it if we weren't ... just kidding. oportunity was too good.

Where can I become a friend of Kevin?

I like this serie very much.

I would be a Kevin's friend, if he ever visits central Europe...

WURMEN!, ALSO KEVIN IS BAUS!

I want to be Kevin's friend, and not just because I need to borrow a torque wrench off somebody.

I need a friend like Kevin...

Well the last three seconds are...unique. The address for the trap looks like the 27th floor of the Foshay Tower, which then was probably a mail stop for Federal in Anoka, to give it a Mpls address. Anyhow, thanks.

I have just worked out why the guys' throws typically curve to the left, and Mae's to the right: it's largely the horizontal angle at which the clay is released. Mae swings with her wrist above the clay, so that as it launches it starts with a bank to the right and like an aircraft, turns in that direction, and vice versa mutatis mutandis ceteris paribus. I think, in addition, Othais in particular sometimes chokes on the throw. Not that I really understand this, but for some reason I eagerly await each video in this series, despite never having handled a shotgun in my life, let alone a handtrap. So I watch intently, and try to understand.

So I guess you know that Monark was a line or sub-brand of Federal, which presumably explains the branding of the traps found in the wild. If you bought a Monark product (it's one of the brands on their ammunition) you knew it was made by Federal, if you cared.

I'm a quick eater I'd be safe and willing to be Kevin's friend. Plz grow that flat top.

World cold and hard, Lewis gun warm and comfy

Yes I want Kevin to be my friend. So we’re moving this weekend need some help I’m sure your in right ?

Can a hand trap be adapted to throw hand grenades?
