I started doing recording videos showing the fieldstripping / cleaning / disassembly of various firearms.
What I try to do, is no "HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY CHANNEL" , no off topic babble, no "RAID SHADOW LEGENDS" and high res footage.
I would be very thankful for some feedback on what I could improve. What place is better, than my favorite Mongolian basket weaving forum to get feedback from?

yep :^)
could tell by your accent actually
very familiar with Switzerland in that regard
eu gay ?
I thought you guys can only have 10 semi auto gun ?
Based Switzerland.
We can have all fun things, suppressors, big military grade stendo clippazines, full auto
Only thing we don't have, is the right to carry, which is fine by me tbh.
every country has it's own laws, most have multiple types of permits that allow different things.
Can you make a video about cleaning & reassembling a broken heart

I think this is beyond my abilities, sorry bro. Time won't fix it but help.
I disagree, when I watch a video, I might want to do shit to my rifle while listening, not constantly watching.
Does world of guns give you tips on how to assemble the parts though? Like its just press a mouse button and you will see how its done, I don't know if it translates to actually physically doing it.
Nüme nüüt, grüess!
Take a note from John Plant’s Primitive Technology channel, no one wants to hear your voice, everything can be explained in captions and visually
Seems kinda superfluous given that World of Guns exists and allows you to disassemble entire tanks but you do you.

Notice how some of your videos have only 12 afrufrefuf's, and some of your videos have over 7000 of them? That's because there are any number of tutorials on the internet for how to take apart a Glock slide, but videos with live shooting are dynamic and original. People want to tune in for that. They don't know what will happen next...will you hit the target, will the gun explode, it's fun to watch.
By contrast, while you might think that sterilizing your field-stripping videos makes them better, in reality, all it does is make them sterile. Even an old DVD I have with tutorials on how to disassemble Sig Sauer pistols that I believe was produced by Sig Sauer themselves has an on-going, live commentary about what the gunsmith is doing, the history, operation, maintenance tips, what the gun is made of, how it's made, how to tell if it's functioning properly--all sorts of things.
There are videos on youtube that get lots of views just showing some socially awkward dude's hands on a table, and all of the popular ones bring something extra. Take a look at Mishaco, for example. He does long-form videos, babbles and can't even hold the camera straight, but the man is a legend. You don't need to "shout out" to your patreon fans or respond to the youtube comments section for the first 2 minutes of the video like a boomer. You can start the video straight into field-stripping. However, omit the so-called "off topic babble" at your own peril.
Thanks for taking the time to post your reasoning. One thing you are missing, is that the youtube algorithm loves the "shorts" format.
Ill think about this.. Adding some "flavor" and some footage of the gun being fired or something.
Nah it's pretty good, anon. But if you want an audience, you'd need to do something extra. Maybe shooting pre-disassembly and post-assembly or something. Like the cake is good but it's missing the cherry to reel people in. Unless of course your point is just to have a repository of such videos.
This is a good point. Some b-roll with music to show off the weapon in different states.

Content is fine, but it's niche. Your target audience for the disassembly videos are people trying to figure out how to take apart their gun. They'll watch the video, won't share it, and likely won't subscribe because they feel it is a one-off. If you want good metrics, you need some engaging content too. History, shooting sports, engineering... something to get people to look forward to watching all of your content, not just the one video they're interested in. It may also be better to reverse your video titles, do the "x disassembly - straight to the point" first. It might help with getting you higher up in the search results. If you're really desperate to get the disassembly content more views, slap asmr on it and say absolutely nothing at all while you load/unload mags and manipulate the gun.
I am fine with niche. Its more about the quality and less the views. The tip with the titles is actually very good.
ah now we are talking!
You could consider porting an extremely brief version of just the disassembly as a shorts-formal video, ideally with good audio, and then drop a full disassembly-cleaning-reassembly vid concerrently with it, to catch the viewers who want more. Just my $0.02.
