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!

This set of rifle, sling and bayonet came together, and was about the be scrapped (as usual😑). It's not in terrible condition, but definitely deserves some care. It is a Mannlicher M95 in its original configuration (8x50R caliber), made in 1915, meaning it survived both WWI and WWII. Being a WWI-era weapon, with genuine wear on it, I used a very conservative approach, trying to keep things as original as possible while getting it back in shape. *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
