About

I am a forensic expert witness, and thought some of my experiences related to ballistics might be worth sharing. I created BackyardBallistics to provide interesting and (hopefully) entertaining videos regarding the science of guns and ballistics, and also related topics coming from my engineering background. In the process, I will also feature lots of cool guns I have at my disposal for my job. Whoever you are and wherever you live, I would really love to share my experience with you!

Video Description

In this gun restoration video I'm taking care of two WW2-era Thompson submachine guns. One is a model 1928, the other one is an M1A1 Thompson. They're in terrible conditions, but I did my best to save and preserve them. *A special thanks goes to Michelangelo Neri Orliani for helping in the making of this project* If you can and want to help me making videos like this, you can directly support me on Patreon, to cover some of the expenses of running this channel: https://www.patreon.com/backyardballistics #restoration #WWII #militaryhistory
