  1. Dragovich, Krevkenco, Steiner. These men must die. On a related note Ian has more Boonie Hats than Captain Price.

  3. Well the Krinkov is in the games as the AK-74u. The actual name is the AKS-74u

  4. Maybe name something after Crimea.

  5.  @jcarachure111  Not likely because Mikael was never able to patent his design that is how we got crappy AK clones.

  6.  @brojackedh.1512 I say it sounds about as I know Sig didn’t do a full recall of the P320 when the first issues emerged and suspect that plays a big part with the current concerns about the gun being the old guns remaining in the wild. I also think he is right as making unlabeled changes to a design is something that sounds legit for the US government. We couldn’t make working copy of the Saturn V today as they had made so many changes from the blueprints to make it work that weren’t properly documented.

  8.  @RilsR  No we aren’t British different mounts just get a different letter at the end like the The M240B is infantry but the M240C is a coaxial gun with a right hand feed for the Bradley.

  9.  @cudathehawgjetfixer7520  The M4 is not an M16A4 it is a designation for a carbine based on the M16

  10. Sweden was there to provide aid and they did. They used to be one nation after all.

  11. I would say the strangest way a tank was defeated I know of is a story of a soldier who took out a Tiger during the Battle of the Bugle by dropping an apple into it as if it were a grenade. The crew fell for it.

  12. To be fair a lot of supposed innovation is reintroducing ideas that someone did before. Case in point. The toggle-linked action of the C93 Borsharct and the Luger are considered the first striker fired handguns. And the Glock 17 wasn’t the first polymer framed handgun. The H&K VP-70 (probably most famous these days as that gun from Aliens) did it first but failed due to the end of the Cold War and questionable design decision like no slide-lock and a staple gun trigger.

  13.  @dbmail545 Yeah but that is common for the time. Most handguns needed handfitted parts.

  14. There was still the White Death. A farmer with more confirmed kills than any other soldier before or since and he did most of them with an old bolt-action rifle with iron sights in the winter.

  15.  @ThatWolfFromHyruleGaming Well those morons don’t understand Glocks have four safeties. In addition to the trigger Ian mentions, Glocks have four internal safeties to keep the gun from firing without a deliberate trigger pull such as a dedicated drop safety (because one of the requirements for the original Glock contract was it needed to be safe after drop of 6 ft 7 in onto a steel plate.

  16. There is an exception. Militaries that design weapons for specific proprietary ammunition tend to be better off as that ammo is guaranteed to exist for the customers. In fact that is how we got the major handgun calibers we have today.

  17.  @sidekickbob7227  No the US is a constitutional Republic

  18. It wasn’t that confusing. From what I seen and heard the M1 was only used for the Garand the Carbine was called Carbine and the SMG the Thompson.

  19. realistically it is likely one hand for the same reason as High Standard Model 10 fire it while in a car

  20.  @bubba200874426  Except you don’t know the rules. There were no true laws about abortions on the federal level until Roe v. Wade which isn’t a law but a ruling. It was legislating from the bench per the constitution, it is a matter for the states to decide not the federal government which is why it got overturned. You don’t anything about law or how the government of this nation actually works or what the 13th and 14th Amendment actually say. You are also wrong about the Constitution having no laws that is what the Amendments explicitly are. And abortion being legal or not is a matter for state governments not federal ones.

  21.  @luked2767  The carcano is not a bad gun.

  22.  @stevenbobbybills  Because they weren’t really upgrades done at the factory to take over the regular production lines. SOPMOD is more or less an add on to the M4 carbine for certain situations and not all do the modifications can be used at once (for examples, the M26 and M203 are both SOPMOD modifications, but being both underbarrel weapons, they are mutually exclusive.

  23.  @christ4032  Not really because MP is used by Germany and other nations as a word for SMGs or machine pistols and the US armed forces use MP5s for example.

  24.  @christ4032  That is just a huge mouthful.

  25. Exactly. I don’t have a gun yet but I have long considered the USP as my choice of carry pistol as that was designed to work come hell or high water.

  26.  @StressmanFIN  MG3s are far from obselete the change to 7.62 NATO has done to little to diminish the rate of fire of Hitler’s Buzzsaw

  27.  @HellbirdIV  Yeah that is all BS the militias were not part of the regular army and you forget it never said the right of the milita but the right of the people.

  28.  @browncoat697  Except we didn’t do that in Iraq or Afghanistan. Iraq was done on ultimately false pretenses but Afghanistan was a direct response to 9/11 as the Taliban was aiding Al-Qaeda. As for the government in exile thing. Afghanistan had the US deciding to replace the Taliban with a government led by the Mujahaideen who were in charge prior to the Taliban overthrow so they would be a legitimate government.

  29. And what made the error really stupid was they found and fixed it on the military version and assumed it wouldn’t be caught. This is the same type of hubris that made the Ford Pinto the worst car ever made in America by reputation. The car doesn’t explode nearly as much as you would think from the reputation it has, but the Pinto Memo revealed during a lawsuit that Ford had a cheap fix for the issue, but was cheaper for them to just hand out wrongful death settlements.

  30. Well they did do recalls for other guns. The Cross is a bolt action you could fire from just working the bolt and not touching the trigger (there is a channel I forget which did a review of the Cross and had it happen to them while they trying to clear a jam) SIG did a recall then. I think they might be pulling a Remington.

  31.  Rob  Well the Soviets are to blame. Communism meant our man Mikael Kalashnikov couldn't patent his design hence the ability to make cheap knock-offs like the gun in the video.
    3
  32.  @lenerdenator Nah. The military wouldn’t have done so as we already had Glocks submitted for the XM17 MHS trials and they lost. My guess is Glock despite making a new variant didn’t meet some of the requirements for modular grips or being able to easily change the caliber.
    3
  33. SIG did a recall of the Cross after that. It wasn’t completely on its own as he did touch the bolt but it was still a design flaw for a gun discharge by touching the bolt when it is a bolt action.

  34.  @PalmettoNDN You forget the expression that military weapons are made by the lowest bidder. So you do need an external safety just in case. Even the M16 which is a quality weapon has a forward assist for a good reason despite Eugene Stoner thinking it wasn’t necessary because the lowest bidder struck with the ammo.
    2
  35. @ First he wasn’t right. The forward assist was needed as the early M16s jammed due to bad propellant and a lack of cleaning kits and a lack of a forward assist meant that troops were killed in combat because needed to disassemble the rifle to find why it jammed. The M16A1 introduced a forward along with a chrome-lined bore and was much more reliable. As for the M9 only Air Force pilots carry a handgun with the safety off every other branch used the safety as it wasn’t a liability.
    2
  36.  @James_Bee  Not necessarily true. The lowest bidder still needs to meet most of the requirements if not all of them that are laid out by the military. I could be a low bidder for a new army rifle and offer a modernized musket but just because I am the lowest bidder doesn’t mean that would make me win the competition.

  37.  @sevenproxies4255  And in urban warfare tanks are a hinderance at best. Unless you are willing to use the thing as a 60 ton battering ram or level the entire place with artillery before they arrive they are sitting ducks.

  38.  @lorenzmaut3708  Russia doesn’t use GPS they use GONLASS

  39.  @bosewicht2389  They do because NATO has donated a lot of munitions to them such as the MBT LAW

  40.  @LegendStormcrow  Probably had someone remove the firing pin and put it is on too shallow

  41. No he got an Italian model. It was mail order and it was a M91/38 in 6.5 not the 7.35 the Finns got. The M91/38 was reconverted to original 6.5 to simplify logistics.

  42.  @rare5960  That is not at all what I am trying to do. I am just stating some facts.

  43. I like the Hi-Power but personally would rather have a USP. Similar action but made to be even more reliable.

  44. I think they might have thought everyone would be using Obrez rifles when they got home but I seriously doubt that as if you cut down the barrel and stock that much the accuracy means you couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from the inside.

  45.  @c3bhm  The answer is loopholes my friend. The reason the Tavor isn't regulated is that is long enough to not count as an SBR. An SBR is defined by the ATF having a barrel less than 16 inches and an overall length of less than 26 inches while a Tavor has an 18.1 inch barrel and an 28.3 inch overall length. The shockwaves are regulated but they are regulated as Any Other Weapon or AOWs instead of an SBS because it is fitted with a grip instead of a buttstock at the factory. The ATF definition of shotgun requires it have a buttstock which the shockwave lacks. AOWs are still regulated but the red tape is significantly reduced with for one thing a $2 tax stamp for purchase instead of a $200 dollar one they have for every other form of regulated firearm.

  46. Agreed. I saw another comment talking about the Beretta slide separation issues and blaming it one the Seals using +P+ FMJ (read: the standard ammo for a military service pistol) which it wasn’t designed for. That would still be a mistake on Beretta’s part for making a potential service pistol that can’t handle service pistol rounds. And the truth was the locking block failed before it should have and that was the issue. And Beretta knew it was their gun that was the problem. The M9 and 92FS have a new hammer design from the 92F to keep the slide from flying off if such a problem happened.

  47.  @jussayinmipeece1069  There wouldn't need to be a loophole if it wasn't for keeping the SBR restriction after they removed the thing they really wanted to regulate

  48.  @HellbirdIV  But it says the right of the people you keep missing that part because you are dense. W e the people are the militia.
    2
  49.  @HellbirdIV  Except not it wasn't conscription. Militias were volunteer organizations because the Militias were ultimately the people as past Supreme Court cases have dictated.

  50.  @HellbirdIV  No the Amendment says the right of the people to keep and bear arms and the founding fathers were clear on later documents they meant the people
