What the fucks with the gun inuendo on the repair videos these days?

No parasitic chokes, chambers a round at the end

Ain't CB for the outlaws? Don't outlaws pack heat?
I actually wouldn't really notice, if these things weren't pointed out. Guns are fairly common place, in my part of the world, so it doesn't strike me as an oddity or a novelty when they show up in videos or pictures.

Yeah, it's a "Murica" thing, particularly in the Southern states. In the mid-90's, back when I was in high school, the "no guns on school grounds" rule was largely ignored during hunting season. If they didn't ignore it, they would have had to arrest about 98% of the male student body (and a decent percentage of the female student body) on the 1st school day of hunting season. Either that, or they would have just had to start classes at noon.
Well, yeah. I don't much like hunting. The idea of getting up before the sun, on cold morning, to go hide in the woods, and wait, just hoping that some creature that I can shoot will just happen to walk by.... nah. Unappealing to me. I also don't much care for the butchering process.
That said, I have no moral opposition to hunting. In fact, I want to obtain a huntable property, so my friends can hunt there, and keep my freezer stocked with tasty deer meat, lol.

Can you briefly describe a parasitic choke and its purpose? (is it a resistor?)
I'm unfamiliar with the term, google just doesn't show much, thank you.
About the guns, well showing a force multiplier like that will scare off the potential bullies looking for a weak target. A lot of YouTube and social media drama happens, so I think they just want to send a clear message: "Don't fuck with me, I'm ready."

His plate voltage regulation from no load to full load sucks like a Hoover.
The hunter crouches in his blind
'Neath camouflage of every kind,
And conjures up a quacking noise
To lend allure to his decoys.
This grown-up man, with pluck and luck,
Is planning to outwit a duck.

Better filter capacitors. I dislike a long string of cheap electrolytic HV caps and much prefer one or two series large value HV caps preferably oil filled types but they are pricey. Also if one is going to use a string of caps like he has then don't use cheap electrolytics and opt for the better quality units with low ESR to minimize voltage drop. Hard to tell but from the looks of his meter he drops about 800 volts or more from no load to full load. Also running from the 120 volt line is not the best idea either. I realize he is simply in it for the money but since you asked what would I do, I felt compelled to answer. I presently have a "little" project of my own and it will run from the 240 volt line and has 55 uF of oil filled HV caps for filtering. Voltage drop is yet to be determined from actual use but that is a long time off. The power supply is just ready for initial powering up...........when I get the nerve to do it.
4500 volts at 2 amps and variac fed.
Wouldn't it be better to build your own oil caps? Higher capacity; low maintenance? Surely, some have been down this path. I know some of the older radios use this method. Fewer down sides?
Build your own oil filled HV caps??
Show me some examples. Sounds like a recipe for a big BANG.
These are mine. One 100uf at 2500 volts in series with one 80uf at 2500 volts with three 8uf and a 4uf in parallel to equal two equivalent caps of 110uf each for 55uf total. I could have gotten away with just the 100uf and the 80uf but the voltages would have divided unequally leaving me with a maximum plate voltage of 4000 volts before exceeding the ratings of one of the caps. I had them so why not clean house and put them to use?
