  1. I want that facility for paintball reasons.

  2. Thank you to the collector who let Ian showcase your fine guns.

  3. Ian gets sooo many bonus points for the last few seconds.
    807
  4. Your practice time shows.
    474
  5. That's really neat. I would totally buy a modern made one sans logo in .22 mag just for the niftiness.  Also Ian, you did a really good job in this video of concisely showing everything necessary to completely understand the function of the mechanism.

  6. I'd bet swapping out for some heavy gauge piano wire sleeved through plastic tubing would help a lot with the trigger too.

  7. If you consider the value of animal lives to equal those of humans, YOU are likely to behave monstrously. Ethics matter, and misbalanced ethics are generally the start of most of the worst atrocities in the world.

  8. Tiny rear windows pointed up at the sky from the driver's viewpoint.

  9. The other thing is that society in general is hugely affected by having all information filtered by an open monopoly using secret rules.

  10. Continue since I didn't actually mean to post that comment yet. the saiga 12 initially was just an AK with extra room made for ejection port and a larger barrel in a larger magwell and all that stuff. interesting ly they started with the better straighten certain magazine and downgraded to the rock and lock because that's what American market thought an AK should be. The problem was most first guns barely worked. They were so finicky about ammo. eventually they did some tuning with gas Port size and the big change was ditching the AK long stroke piston system and replacing with a tappet system. After they put in the tappet the guns worked. But they still had a limited range of animal that they worked with. the next development was put in a 2 position gas restrictor. that made them work with virtually everything so long as you got a gun that was assembled properly. these were refined by the American competitive market and improved a lot and some of those changes eventually made their way back into the izhmash guns as well as the Molot clones. Oddly their flagship model which is now closest to the Iz433 series prioritize in AK style rear sight block and removable gas tube in the process of incorporating that they removed the gas setting restrictor, which is a real down grade. The vepr 12 is cloned from that variant and originally shipped with the saiga-12 "police" magazines. For that reason the veprs also lack the gas restrictor.

  11. An online friend has one of these. I think it is the autosear setup which his stamp is on, not the receiver. Kinda like an HK trigger pack. So in theory, he could wear out the gun, tig up any wear on the autosear, etc. file back to spec and polish and drop it into new guns indefinitely. He has had trouble getting it to feed reliably on commercial and some surplus ammo, so I was helping him tune reloads to the peculiarities of the system on an M1/M2. Powder selection is key, as is bullet diameter and alloy/heat treat (for cast projectiles). It's a neat setup for a legacy gun which can affordably give a neat experience to family and friends without wearing out an irreplaceable part. Getting the ammo cost down and reliability up really maximizes the fun.

  12. The case is short for a reason. Brass expands easier than steel and retracts more as it cools. Longer steel cases with less taper can tend to grow enough that they get stuck. i.e. they get stretched and stay mostly stretched. So they basically make the case a bit shorter so that it has room to grow and still not stick. Barnaul does the same thing with brass colored 30-06 steel ammo, but using a different method. There's a groove around the lower third of the case pressed in.

  13. My grandfather fought in WWII Pacific theatre for the whole show. He used one of these during the island clearing at the end, although I think he used a Thompson more. Basically they would give the BAR to the big guy in the squad. He seldom talks about actual fighting in the war, but he has talked about how they used the BAR a few times. The method he has talked about was like this. They would have a sling hanging from the front (or maybe a pair connected together). I think the bipod was removed. The squad would keep moving fairly quickly and leapfrog each other.  The BAR was walking suppressive fire, but not in the "walking fire" method. If enemy was encountered by surprise, the BAR guy would step on the end of the dangling strap with his left foot, and lift the gun up against it. This would control muzzle rise and he would shoot short bursts as would have been done as a light machine gun off of a mount.
    145
  14. This excites me a lot. I too am an "officer of the court". Jury nullification does not undermine the law. It is an intrinsic part of the law at the top level. Suppressing free speech undermines the law.
    139
  15. Note that he had cast lead bullets. With a 6 cav mold, these can be cast at about 400 an hour, with a cost of about 1.5 cents per projectile. Reloading them is probably about 300 an hour on a progressive. If he loads them light they could be in the neighborhood of 20-30 cents a shot. I would bet he goes through less ammo cost than the average tacticool guy does through his AR on a range trip. If he is using black powder, the cost goes up a bit and the cleaning time would go way up.
    135
  16. As a bit of an expert on the saiga 12 itself, that's not really an accurate representation at the development.
    130
  17. Perfect sponsor. Every time dank comes on, my first thought is "now there's a guy I want to smell like. That would definitely make my life better."
    120
  18. Every time I watch a Vice production, I can't help but think they are the most ignorant awful people one is likely to meet. So proud of themselves as subversives. Just like the author of the cookbook was before he grew up.
    116
  19. What do you mean no purpose? How else are you supposed to hold moisture in contact with metal in a place you are unlikely to service or inspect?
    104
  20. That frizzen system alone would have been a huge improvement.
    96
  21. Generally also of good creative content. Lame stuff is made to try to appeal to a theoretical customer. Good content is made because the content maker wishes it existed. See for example forgotten weapons.
    92
  22. I think, mostly it's old magazine spring leading to damaged ammo.
    85
  23. I'd go one further. A lot of being Soviet in general was looking soviet. You needed to not stand out and conform to the memes generated by the state. Anything which contrasted was possibly subversive. If you look at art or clothes or trains or anything from those regimes, they all had to conform to a consistent look, which fit the propaganda model of the state. Simultaneously trying to convey uniformity, modernity, and a simple practical style. "we are making progress together, but not decadent progress. Universal, everyday simple and solid progress."... Weapons and trains were actually key propaganda statements about what the state was doing, so anything associated with them was carefully stylized to fit the image. -- Look up soviet art, and particularly soviet train stations/ trains themselves, and you will see the images that they are pushing. weapons show up a lot in that art- and not evil lend-lease or captured German weapons, but weapons of "the people"....
    82
  24. You forgot dubious locking mechanism .
    82
  25. I enjoyed the look the curator gave him at the end as he was suppressing the urge to correct Holland to the Netherlands .
    81
  26. I almost jumped with delight seeing Ian and Karl. A genuine pleasure to see these projects collaborating.
    78
  27. All good as usual. My favorite part is that you took time to dispel popular folklore with correct history. 
    78
  28. I strongly recommend a book called how to get a date worth keeping. It will be harsh and it will give you practical steps. Virtuous people exist. That you haven't found one who has chosen you means there are missing steps in your looking process. Possibly missing steps in your process of evaluating them. And very likely missing steps in your process of making yourself somebody that such a person would choose. For what it's worth I got married at 35 and it is a very good marriage.
    73
  29. After more than a year's worth of this show, I have decided what the show needs. As Indy discusses any group, he needs to wear their hats. Those Albanian Fez things, Von Mackinson's spiky beaver hat... A pith helmet from some Boers...
    71
  30. / if they didn't keep making it for at least 20 years, there was a reason...

  31.  @adam3496  loans aren't too bad until they are. Thing is owing money when you can afford to pay it is not a big deal and tell something puts you in a bind and then suddenly it is. There is a saying among adults: "$5,000 isn't much to have but it's a Lot to owe."
    69
  32. Many of those cuts had to be done on slow reciprocal passes with broaches on shaper machines. Clean and smooth, but definitely not fast.
    68
  33. I think South Park answered the question more accurately. I ride motorcycles too.
    61
  34. The trees used to make modern paper are hybrid poplar that are planted for the purpose. They grow amazingly quickly and are good for l for the soil too. Paper makers want uniform pulp that can only come from crop trees, not wild.
    59
  35. I love how often you do the work to answer practical questions I already had. I seriously check your channel sometimes before I order stuff or go to the store.
    56
  36. Against state attackers, yes. And statistically in the last 100 years the single greatest cause of violent death by a huge margin is attack by one's own government. Then there are also invading governments, so yes. Excellent for home defense.
    55
  37. 2 advantages of TOSlink over Digital Coax. smaller and more flexible made for easier routing through ducting for me. Not really prone to corrosion in moist environments.
    53
  38. It's a real pity that didn't catch on. It looks like a great design. Thanks for the excellent demonstration.
    52
  39. Mossberg offers this, but with a tactical stocked lever action instead of the Mosin.
    51
  40. My wife refers to him as, "your ponytail friend."
    51
  41. Funny, because toward the end of Mickey K's life, the Kalashnikov Koncern was mostly tinkering around with the AK12 and a bunch of limited run customs which had Israeli made parts. A lot of CAA stuff, which is basically the Israeli equivalent of Tapco. I have a folder with a bunch of pictures of him holding these guns and beaming. They are great reply pictures to the "Nyet rifle is fine" guys.
    50
  42. Spree killers don't need concealable as much. If they are planning a spree then they can deal with hiding a cumbersome object in a large package, etc. They choose their own timing and location. Concealment is primarily useful for hidden responsive tools. i.e. Security, police, civilian concealed carry.
    47
  43. 5:38 is the best.
    46
  44. Thanks for going into the extra detailed interviews with Bin Shih. He is absolutely right, I know almost nothing of Chinese arms of that era, and appreciate the glimpse into their history. A friend's relative was actually presented a pair of rifled muskets in the early 1900s by the Chinese government, so the idea of a semi automatic gas operated rifle made in a country still making muzzle loaders is just amazing. It must have been fascinating times for people like General Lieu.
    45
  45. That sounds like inviting hammer follow.
    45
  46. possibly, if you are a mouse or shrew.
    44
  47. psst Destin: AR15 s are now a lot cheaper than mini 14s, especially if you factor good magazines. economy of scale....
    42
  48. great video. I especially liked the comparison to the CZ52 system.
    42
  49. To confirm with the other guy said. Actual lawyer here: suing isn't going to be a thing. There would be no basis to state a valid claim. What would hurt Jason know would be a mob of Tesla's zealots, and also companies like Tesla denying him access to their vehicles because he makes them look bad. So he has to be diplomatic when he says something negative. There are other people who make successful careers by not being diplomatic when they see something negative, but they don't usually get early access to the fancy cars.
    42
  50. Also they forget that it wasn't just right-wing it was pretty well even across Congress. All of the music censorship stuff which was kind of the same groups were backed by people like Tipper Gore. The video game censorship stuff and the music censorship stuff was pretty bipartisan.
    42
  51. And also it doesn't close the door in his face for future collections. Just about anybody anywhere in the world in a place that's had a lot of conflict has a lot of resentment on both sides from any group. He's probably going to want to talk to collectors who could have stuff with any set of biases you could mention. If you step on their pet outrage they're never going to show you their stuff. so I think it is pretty wise of Ian to not take off all the South African audience. At the same time you can kind of show look how unreasonable were these restrictions can say look it really was a lot more of a hassle for a black person. and at the same time he doesn't have to negotiate all the wrongs from blacks to whites and whites to blacks that occurred during that period and the present day. they know all that stuff for themselves and they have their own opinions about it. What is he going to add as an outsider that has any nuance or brings any meaning or resolution to the situation?
    42
  52. The fact that you are competing against people using modern weapons with optics, ergonomics, usually a lighter round, and that they practice with only one platform, and you still outstrip a few with the oddball stuff you use is impressive.
    41
  53. I always wanted to just hear Bo talk about himself he always came across so entertaining.
    39
  54. Yeah but that does illustrate that it is easy to bump the selector . Which is odd because I thought one of the features on the bAR was a little button you had to hold down to flip the selector from auto to semi or maybe that was from semi to safe .
    38
  55. Not in countries like Canuckistan.
    37
  56. I wasn't saying all of them did this, just the group grampa was with... He doesn't talk much about the fighting directly, but I gather he was not the first wave of any landing. Rather he seemed to be moving inland after they had a beach-head. Other times he talks about securing prisoners that were very young boys.
    37
  57. I had some friends do some disaster relief work in Russia during the mid 90s. One of their crew collected military uniforms as a hobby, and bought some uniform items from a street market. The seller said he could get more, and asked what he wanted. He wanted a general's uniform or something like that. a couple days later, the seller flagged them down and said he had what they wanted. He had 3 different general's uniforms.. And a couple RPG7s that he wanted $100 for all of. They were like um, "we'll just take the uniforms, thanks.". Didn't seem like the right people to completely back out of a sale on.
    37
  58. I have found that the quality of the comments on YouTube directly correlates to the quality and intelligence of the content. The more specific and technical the topic of the video more intelligent the comments. If it's celebrity falls down in a pile of poopy, then the comments will match that too.
    35
  59. Marriage was not the first step. The first step was accepting it as a humorous quirk, then the next first step became that it was if not Good then at least not bad and they choice that you have no right to deny other people making since morality is all made up, then it became not a choice at all but an intrinsic trait that you are morally wicked for discriminating on the basis of, and that's when the marriage thing came and all the other things called short behind. All the stuff has happened during my lifetime. Go watch movies from the 1980s A lot of them have a wacky gay guy as a punchline oh isn't that embarrassing and awkward but at least he's funny, by the late '90s they were main character and plot arc and just about every sitcom as not the but of a joke but as the more honorable person where the main character was the butt of the joke for not getting on board quick enough.
    35
  60. It's for concealment. A saturday night special, I think.
    34
  61. You got a lot of good jokes. The one that made me actually laugh audibly was "this website I found."
    34
  62. MrAgentd About other stuff yes, but not about that time very much any more. He's 90 now. He really only started talking about this kind of thing in the last 10 or so years, and then not very much. I'd get a lot more details about things when say a news story would criticize a modern soldier's judgment call. Oddly he was more likely to tell strangers about this stuff than family, so a lot more of the details came up when overhearing what he was telling other people. Now he seems to be more comfortable talking about things, but he is getting old enough that he gets events mixed up. So for about the last two years, I wouldn't consider a story to be very reliable unless it matched in detail something I have heard him talk about years ago too. There's a window in the day that is best for conversation, and it tends to coincide with working hours. You know how that is. To him combat and war were not "cool" so he didn't often talk about them directly. i.e. In a conversation about pastoring (his main profession), the civil rights movement might come up. That would lead to his disgust about how the navy failed to give as good training to the black people that were assigned as replacements for his deck guns, (.30 cal machine guns vs aircraft in this case, and some thing bigger too.) which lead to him having to do training on some people more or less in battle. From this, I can infer that he had gun crew people under him die, since they needed replacements, but he has never talked about that directly. I try not to ask him things he doesn't seem to want to talk about. I assume there's a good reason.

  63.  @fuNaN89  * not exactly. Few scientists sit down over morning coffee with the new journals. They might research for topical studies to a task they are working on, but really journals exist so that people can get published and therefore maintain their jobs. Journals are a way of keeping your job, and are much more printed than read. Same way doctoral theses are written, but not read as a rule. For most teaching positions the requirements are to be regularly published, and the same goes for research fellowships. Peer review sounds great, but in practice it is often a circular incentive loop. I find a group of people who agree with my ideas. They validate my ideas, I validate theirs, we all keep our jobs, grants, etc. If someone finds information that might contradict our ideas, we all gang up on him and make sure he loses his job and platform to threaten our livelihoods. Plus, we really believe our ideas and have invested decades of our identities in them, so you know- burn the heretic.
    33
  64. $200 per shot just for taxes. Wow.
    32
  65. It's a weapon of war, with military style features. 
    32
  66. play that game out. If any time of judge is threatened they have to automatically do a mistrial, people would just always threaten every judge and no trial would resolve. So even though that rule make sense at first thought, it is actually impossible to apply.
    32
  67. I dunno, after being converted to Islam, it probably would tell me the drink is Haram, and offer me a pull on the hookah.

  69. And isn't the point of the rules to do the best you can within them? This is what drives innovation.

  70. The BFG 50A has always been a more interesting gun to me than the Barrett. The Barrett is chunky and clunky and has a whole lot of moving parts. This has a fixed barrel. I think it's a better design. plus Mark Serbu is a pretty cool guy. He does a lot to push the envelope of what an actual normal person can get. Barrett gets props for standing up to California but it's always been clear that they're key customer s States not citizens. Serbu is the other way around. He's mostly sells to the public but he's had a few government contracts, such as being one of the original guys to build suppressed 22's for our government sneaky boys.
    29
  71. I'm afraid he would be bored with most of our guns. It'd be like I already have 3,421 Ruger 10/22s.
    29
  72. Thanks again. It's interesting to think that the most ill conceived Khyber Pass frankenstein assembly could one day be a treasured item eagerly anticipated at the likes of Sotheby's.
    28
  73. Studs aren't always where you want the thing to be located.
    28
  74. I think that ejection system is still a real step up from gate ejection like a SAA. I like the front sight too.
    28
  75.  @dellawrence4323  okay let's deal with you. All versions of English and for that matter any language are bastardized. There are many different versions of English spoken in England let alone the UK. None of them is the correct version. The mere notion of that is an absurdity. This is an extremely silly thing to be jingoistic about, sir.
    28
  76. In other news, whatever antique machine gun you were using is now a water cooled model.
    27
  77. nowthisis2stupid It was a war. 1) After the beginning of the war, many soldiers were pressed into action with little training at all.2) He said this guy did it, not everyone. Marines are not magical men with uniform thinking and behavior. This individual apparently didn't match your idealized notion. 3) people often stop caring about stuff that is normally important to them when they are disillusioned, exhausted and terrified. - You know, the normal conditions of war? 4) a lot of standards get relaxed during active combat, either because their command is too busy to enforce them, or because they are not practical. Marines have meticulous uniforms in training, but they soil them like every one else when shooting starts. From what my grandfather described, at a certain point many servicemen chose the weapons they wanted rather than what they were issued. Perhaps this guy chose a gun bigger than he could handle and only drug it until he had an opportunity to grab something else. 5) we don't know that this guy even did it constantly. The annecdote could have just been one bad day for him.
    27
  78. That is an M249, afterall.
    27
  79. Wonder why they don't bother to crimp it. it would add no manufacturing cost .
    27
  80. It has less power than a normal bb gun. i.e. a red ryder. What magical spot can you hit that will kill someone? I don't think it would even have enough energy to enter a carotid artery.
    26
  81. You think like Mark Twain.
    26
  82. That is more of an indication that the owner is an institution rather than a gun person. He follows the owner's preferences.
    26
  83. Now that all the LE organizations are dumping those onto the surplus market.
    26
  84. Nah. Gun selling companies get a lot of sales mileage out of implied sales to elite people they can't talk about. It's perfect marketing, because it sells but isn't subject to verification.
    26
  85. I love the complete transparency on this project. Especially from Russell.
    26
  86. That explains the hyper luxurious accouterments to leadership in every socialist and communist regime ever.
    25
  87. Unfortunately they already do know and it's not us.
    25
  88. Posting early to posit that the client wrote the pleading. Crackpot obsessives always want me to "just make this legal and file it" as they hand me reams of confused repetitive conspiracy logic.
    25
  89. Sporterizing is history too. Military rifles tell the story of the military. Sporterized rifles tell the story of the nation. A sporterized krag tells you about the marksman from the 1930s mostly. a lot of those old gun writers spend a lot of time talking about how smooth their krags were. Imo that's a pretty interesting story and tells you a lot about the mindset of the era. You see some with really nice workmanship in them. Honestly with all of the effort on restoring to the original mass-produced generic form I expect in another 20 or 30 years there will be a kick of people looking for the sporterized configuration as history from the 1930s to 1960s when that was really popular. It's hard to imagine people being excited about a mosin and an archangel stock but maybe that will happen someday too. It just doesn't have the same degree of personalization and care that some of the things I see from particularly the 1950s show.
    24
  90. Oh before that time it was just straight up brothels...
    24
  91. I was impressed with your commitment the way you slid into prone after throwing the weight in stage III. As a guy who played fairly competitive paintball, I can attest to the time savings a good slide will buy, and also how it always takes willpower to throw yourself at the ground.
    23
  92. Florida man is just the same guy that's in every other state but the police blotter isn't automatically published.

  93. *Promised Innovation, not actual yet. He's promised a few things that he damn well knows can't be made simply to develop hype for his brand. i.e. hyperloop. If he's taking investors on that, he's straight up scamming them.

  94. I wonder if it could be formed and trimmed from 30 carbine brass.

  95. In fairness I would say Aaron Magruder is actually racist. he genuinely beat leaves the people's thoughts should be dictated by their skin color. I know this is the hipster guy who rid his comics and bought his books well before he got his TV show. This stuff is funny but he really thinks your actions are dictated by your demographics.
    22
  96. having worked with news reporters, personally written news articles worked with news cameramen and run for elected office. i have engaged with the press, I've seen how the sausage is made. And mostly how is made is some guy takes a half hour to get a vague impression of the idea and is the first to publish, and all the other sources regardless of format just copy the angle of that first guy. The guy who rushed it and didn't do any homework. The guy who didn't take the time to play back the interview recording to get quotes correct. Accuracy is not the primary priority. Publishing before the next interval is. If forced you can always print a retraction later. But the news sources are not paying for the hours it would take to do real investigation anyway. the guys who make any pretense of having journalistic integrity don't take the time to do research they just put in hedge words. "Some are concerned that... "
    22
  97. So they make a neutered station wagon with poor storage, and dumb shaped opening.
    22
  98. I always get a kick out of Ian's closings. If he had been a biologist, I expect his videos would end with phrases like "tune back in soon for more one legged elephants and Rhinocerous-donkey hybrids." -As if he's got a basement full of them.
    21
  99. [eye roll]  "Knowing your gun inside and out" would imply for instance that you knew operating force came from the gas tube, and that your issued gun was not a piston driven AR. Both of which I recently had two active duty marines claim. That's a long ways short of being a "weapons designer or an expert in ballistics" and also of "knowing their weapons inside and out." The truth is, that in any group, the people who care about guns know how they work and how to run them, and the rest of the people know only as much as they are required to know. Marines, Army, Cops, etc. They do enough to qualify. The ones who care do enough to be proficient, and an exceptional few work to become masters. -- You seem eager to condescend and to willfully misunderstand. You say you don't have time to argue, but the evidence shows that to be false. You've insulted me a few times now, but at least you fairly did the same when you chose your screen name.
    21
  100.  @ジョジョさま  but gun culture is real and you are willfully blind to its existence. You may not like it but that doesn't mean it isn't there.
    21
  101. It is interesting to me how straight the shell goes into the chamber. Most other autoloaders can be seen to richochet up and down as it is jostled into chamber rather than such a linear smooth push. 
    20
  102. Cute story, but the AK and the others have been redesigned to fit the various aesthetics that the soviets were using. Things like the shapes of the curves, redoing the shape of the pistol grip, the texture and look of the plastics for grip panels and magazines. Ak's fit a particular era's soviet look, not the other way round. The wood on an AK74 fits the modernized soviet look for example. The actual Type I AK47 didn't have the grip you are used to, and it looked more like the other soviet equipment of the era in form and texture than it looked new and distinctive. The style that the AK sports in each of the non critical features was well established by the time the AK came around.
    20
  103. If you want a gun by a car company probably aim for Daewoo.
    20
  104. Never mind. Mixed up on the comment chain. Also, a lot of people neglected their weapons. One of the things he talks about was that after a few of the people who were under him were killed, he had a few black sailors assigned to be on his AA crew. The navy had only really trained them with the expectation that they would do service roles like kitchen work, so they were unprepared for the first engagement and melted their barrels. He felt that the navy did them a real disservice and made sure they knew what to do ASAP.

  110. I think it's the opposite. The generals aren't concerned with the cost. It's about keeping the generals looking uniform. Can't have every general swanking around with his gold plated MkI bazooka in a tooled leather case on his back. They took one look at Patton with his cowboy pistol, neck tie, and jodhpurs and said "he did okay with the tanks and all, but this nonsense has to end now. In a couple decades, they'll all have capes and turbans or manbuns."

  111. @zack9912000  just look at a foot pounds chart for any of them and you immediately see that what you said is embarrassingly wrong. 40 is absolutely more powerful than 45. Whether you're comparing a standard pressure to standard pressure or + p to + p 40 beats it. A lot of 45 has decent terminal performance up close but sheds velocity so quickly that it won't even mushroom reliably within surprisingly short distances.

  112. Wikipedia is fine too it's a starting point and you look at what their sources are and you read their sources. There's never been such a thing as an infallible text book, because human error and bias are universal. what Wikipedia and similar do is give you a connection to at least one of the arguments about the topic and some initial source is to start from. Frankly that's quite a bit better than the standard peer-review process. I know this having a doctorate and quite a few friends in academia and when you see how many peer-reviewed journals are basically people who think alike agreeing with each other, you realize that is just one group of people with a credential feeling Superior to all. checking their sources is just more time-consuming in a peer-reviewed journal than in online peer review.

It's awesome but the self-adhesive part is kind of sarcastic unless you acetone clean the paint and heat up both the thing you're going to stick it to and the UHMW strip with a heat gun slightly before you adhere them. It makes a significant difference in how well they stick. If you're going to skip one of those and cut corners skip the cleaning more than the heating.

  120. nowthisis2stupid 1, I don't just go off of my grandfather's stories. I knew a few other people who fought in WWII, and have worked with a lot of veterans of more recent conflicts. I have good friends and family, and coworkers in each branch. I read history, including military. I am not an expert, but I am informed. 2) who said we were talking about the beginning of the war? I think we both agree that most of our servicemen at the beginning of the war were thoroughly trained. (In the tactics of WWI) From every discussion I have had with military people, I have found a couple consistent themes. First, every branch and every unit has  screw-ups. Men that no one respects, who are sloppy, stupid and dangerous. BAR dragger might have been that guy. Who knows? Maybe the next day his Sgt. bawled him out and made him clean that gun flawlessly. We weren't there, but there is little reason to doubt the account. It was memorable because it was unusual, after all. Second, almost all of them find that they actually want to change their issued kit shortly after getting into their actual field role. (Which is often not the one they were trained for... For all we know, BAR dragger was trained to wrench on jeeps for the marines.) Once they are in their non-practice role, they tend to get more leeway and opportunity to swap stuff out. For instance, my combat medic friend from the army ended up leaving most of his med kit in the armored ambulance so that he could carry more "israelis" and more ammo. People could claim" army medics don't shoot, and they carry the following items...." but the real world isn't like that.

  124. Well that particular arms races happened many times throughout history. It's kind of cyclic. The armor out strips the weapon but it's cheaper and easier and lighter to carry a weapon that can defeat the next level of armor so the weapons bump up then the armor bumps up and becomes extremely costly and heavy and cumbersome. And then the weapon does the same. And then airplanes come along and render your dreadnoughts useless. Then people say speed will be your armor. And now Intel will be your armor. And then you have people sitting on patrol and occupation for a long time where neither speed nor intel will be a substitute for a patient adversary. So then trying to be friendly with the people you are occupying is supposed to become your armor, but that never really works. So people blame the body armor for not being enough or the gun for not being enough but the truth is it's a game of paper rock scissors. If you always throw a rock people will always counter with paper so you bust out the scissors.... The smaller force always will end up playing the role that causes the bigger force to spend the most logistics possible. It's the move that works the best for them. if we bring guns that beat their armor or beat their range they will change tactics to where armor and range are irrelevant. Then we will start packing light. then armor and range will become relevant again and the cycle will just keep on going.

  126. Unfortunately, in a lot of jurisdictions in my country, it violates the food safety licensing of the stores and restaurants to donate expired food, or food that went above storage temp thresholds.

  127. I've always thought Karl completely missed the boat with his bias against folding and collapsible stocks. They're not a meaningful advantage on a range and while you're competing. they are enormously convenient if you're actually trying to have a gun with you as you're doing a whole bunch of things. I spent years with a gun for getting pests in an agricultural job. having that gun fit in the workbox next to me and rapidly deploy is the difference between being able to get the critter or not. the awesome benchrest rifle that isn't actually convenient to have with you isn't as awesome as the 1022 with a Butler Creek folder on it and a simple 3x9x40. The same is true for an AR pistol in 300 blackout with a 10-in barrel and some sort of folding mechanism. it just fits to have with you and even in its extended configuration is easier to wear on your body while moving around in the woods. When your goals to have the gun that is most useful in in the most probable circumstances and a wide array of improbable circumstances, it's almost always more convenient to have a small package with you, and it is very rare that the ballistic advantage of a slightly longer barrel would make any kind of difference. I will always prefer the SBR or AR pistol type platform over the full size equivalent for practical purposes. Most hunting, self-defense, pest control, and possible insurgent action is going to be within a couple hundred yards. It's just more useful.
    16
  128.  @bdockett  That's why I thought 300 BO was a perfect solution. They are half way to 556, shooting a cartridge which is avialable and affordable, and is basically the same idea as 8 kurz. ... to the point that Karl constantly mocks it as being the same. So same case head as 556, same bolt, same mags. Looks and behaves like 8 kurz. I think it would have been the way to go. You can get it for about the same cost per round as 45 ACP now. Sure you can shave a nickel off in 556 or 7.62x39 but that's not prohibitively expensive.

  129. I've been around a lot of kids who had some level of home schooling. I was partly too. (I have a doctorate now and the job that goes with it.) I think it greatly varies by who the parent is and who the child is. Also there is a whole spectrum of involvement with conventional schools. Kids who self supervise and are motivated tend to do well. Kids who have difficulties with the subject matter tend not to. Especially if the parents are not naturally gifted as educators. Oddly a few of those I grew up with who seemed served worst by it were those whose parents taught in public schools. Those were more or less allowed to take school seriously or not. In my family's case, I did public school up through 7th grade, did a couple years of home schooling. Actually I did 3 years worth of curriculum in 2 years. Then a small private school for a couple years, and then running start. I was well suited to the format. My brothers were not. But on the other hand, they did even worse during some of their time at public school, and at a private grade school. IMO the big takeaway is that forcing any one size fits all solution is probably bad. Also, that I observed classmates and friends do much better when challenged to the point of stress, consistently.

  131. Hard disagree on that. Line item veto is a huge mistake. Consider this incredibly simple example: a contract- I sell you a car you pay me $25,000. Your brother gets to do line item veto and crosses out the part where you pay me $25,000. That is how a line item veto works with legislative balancing. We currently have that in Washington and it sucks. Our governor has the power to make balancing provisions and bills mean the opposite of what they have bargained for in the legislature.

    15
  136.  @andrewgordon235  I think it might be more about the off center mass of the op rod slamming around. It's not even centered on the vertical axis. That gives more than just push or rise, it's a torque to the side. Other tappet guns can be smooth, it's all a mass ratio and location issue. Edit to add that the other big thing is that the carrier ends travel with impact. The AR either just barely thumps the buffer into the back of the tube or comes sort of it. There's no hammering. That's a major component to the recoil and the jostle.
    15
  137. And that gun is porous and crummy. Additive is neat, but CNC milling and lathe is still the way to go and will be for a very long time. Even with additive, most critical surfaces will need to be trued up with conventional machining to have a hope of running smoothly. Hobby 5 axis CNC adequate to machine a pistol would set you back around $800 + software in the current market. You could make do with wimpier setups in the $400 range, but the hassle factor goes way up.

  138.  @robertwilson8184  got to disagree with you on that. You think you're going to win an infantry battle against a government like ours? Obviously not. You will be in an insurgency. In that case living in an occupied state in opposition to the government you're basically operating on the basis of ambushes. And guess what tactics pretty much always work for occupied people? Remote control weapons are a lot of it. Coordinating squads and movement in open warfare ends up being a numbers game. You can't win on those numbers. You can make it so there is no where they can sleep, and they are always looking over their shoulder. You can make it so that it just takes too much resources to keep track of every single person all the time. You can make it so anyone anywhere could be armed and it's impossible to tell for sure that they're not.

  142. That one's more complicated. Basically with government emissions requirements getting up to be nearly impossible for the obligatory weight.... What you get is they are required to make a heavier card and meet a bunch of different safety standards. In the required to get increasingly efficient. Gas engines are approaching about as good as they can be. And the main gain left was in transmission technology. CVTs aren't inherently bad. But we were essentially dealing with first gen and 1.5 gen CVTs that were built to be as light as they could possibly be. Combine that with engines that were deliberately built a little bit loose to have less internal drag but essentially be pre worn out. That means the car hits emissions when it rolls off the lot and for about a month or so but The engine is then essentially equivalent to a late 90s engine that has 100,000 mi on it in terms of how much clearance is in there. And the transmission is built to last 10 years-ish. The CVT is an inherently wearing design that is expensive and complicated so it's not that you couldn't replace one it's that the cost of replacing one is about what the value of the car will be around the time you need to. Nissan got into trouble with their CVTs wearing out about 3 years earlier than they were intending them to. If they were dying at 10 years instead of 3 years and 7 years nobody would be yelling about Nissan being dirt bags. That definitely wasn't on purpose. Nissan doesn't want to be paying to replace your transmission They want you to be happy with your Nissan but ready to buy a new one when that thing finally dies. They don't want to have an unhappy customer who gets a second transmission on them and then buys a different brand as soon as they can.

  143. I think a lot of that will get simpler as the information age comes across. I could a totally see forums getting basically big spreadsheets for serialized parts exchange.

I think most collectors would be willing to trade bolts with somebody to help them get their numbers matching. At least if they could see pictures of what they're getting in exchange.

  144. American lawyer: Why do all the state and local concealed weapons laws talk about "concealed dirks" and "nun-chaku-sticks"? Who was even afraid of scottish kilt daggers, and concealed sticks with chains? Why did they spell it that way? Does any law define "Dirk?" -- American lawyer after research:-- Reverend Lovejoy's wife in ~1960 saw some movies and got scared. All the states and cities did Ctrl+C/ Ctrl+V. Also Dirk doesn't seem to have a clear definition even in court cases, but those that i found, aren't talking about dirks, but actually basically prison shank style weapons on the street. meanwhile, most of those states allow carrying a gun, possibly only with a permit though. In my state, CCW permit is easy, but it does not cover knives. You can own a sword, but a knife that springs open or opens by reciprocal force is a no-no. You can own those, but not carry them. Oh, and every folding knife can open by reciprocal force, so it's really a question of how violently do you have to fling it to open, and there is no legal definition for that.

If you look at all the trappings around say cable news, it's pretty obvious that they spend a lot more effort putting the appearance of credibility than actually researching their information. Everything is about making a credential. but a credential doesn't mean you're right it just means you ought to know how to be right. And when you're an organization that awards itself the credential, even that isn't very impressive.

  150.  @alienwizard9765  Argh. Typed up a reply and it just glitched away. The AEK-971 isn't enough better to replace the inventory that Russia has. MK was mostly a mascot in his final years, but even if he were the brilliant leader that they needed..... Well no amount of brilliance and foresight in design can overcome the economic realities. KK had no shortage of innovative improvements, though which ones they offered for adoption is a bit of a head scratcher sometimes. Their company had IIRC 3 bankruptcies this century, as well as partial mergers and un mergers with MOLOT, with leadership coming and going constantly. Often with the petty cash while the floor workers were unpaid for months. The Izhevsk arsenal is immense and the maintenance costs alone must be crushing to profits. Probably they are letting most of it rot. But the real problem is market saturation. Russia has stockpiles of AK variants that are insane. I have seen and forgotten numbers, but it is possible that they have more AKs than people right now. Any gun offered as a replacement has to be enough better to be worth throwing all that stockpile on the scrap pile and replacing it. Instead, Russia, which is still fairly broke buys just enough of the new fancy toys for their elite troops, and keeps the rest using the guns they have. They order enough rifles to just barely keep KK in business, and they discourage major exports. The company is being kept on life support, but not really allowed to thrive. It's not about lack of brilliant designs.

  158.  @suitknol6604  go on r/justrolledin most of the last year was people posting pictures of piles of transmissions that they had to swap out due to recalls. I'm glad you had a good personal experience but they have had disproportionate early failures. So have other brands such as for instance the Subaru crosstreks which don't have as early a failure but basically they reach a certain point where they're transmission is shot and it's more than the value of the car to replace it. And I'm not dogging on CVT's as a concept. I do offer the potential for amazing performance and economy. Most of what is on the road right now are built to be just barely strong enough for the loads that they're putting on. A lot of them are wearing out fairly early.

  160. Yep I was given a Hi-Point JHP 45. It had been previously stolen and used in a lot of crimes and then recovered and beat ATF sort of restored the serial numbers and gave it back to the original owner who then gave it to me. And fortunately my state now requires FTF transactions to go through an FFL. And we had to pay 30 bucks to get a gunsmith to clean up BATF's restoration of the serials before any ffl would transfer it. From what I understand besides just putting the acid where the cereals used to be insane the metal structure pop up there are at least three other locations where one can find the serial numbers in a high point. Incidentally the total cost of transferring that gun was about $66. Pretty sure $66 is about what a used high point pistol is. And it's been kind of fun to have. It's a great test bed for 45 ACP loads.

He's not said their numbers are false he said that they have used them in a misleading way. They have no change in the numbers that they didn't state would overcome that fact. And for bonus third, what exactly would be the damages that they could prove. Could they demonstrate that they have even one lost sale because of this video? At most you can get somebody to give their word for it and that's hardly empirical. So in effect I think he's immune to action. If they did sue him he could probably actually get a lot of industry traction and money out of the publicity. Whereas even if they were like "yeah we did manage to squeeze an extra point one second out of there while making facially shady claims, so suck it...." That wouldn't look good on them either. It would be a terrible publicity for Tesla to argue the case and say in effect Yes the numbers we use for marketing were arranged in a way that is intentionally deceptive but we did manage to just barely live up to them.

  172. 1) The thief or persons who held it as stolen property mistreated it. It is a 6" SS revolver. It was so thoroughly black with gunsmoke and ??? that it almost appeared to have worn blueing everywhere but under the grips. Bore was good though and lockwork in fine condition. The rear sight was half broken off. I soaked it for a week in a ziploc full of CLP mostly dissembled. Then scrubbed it all with very fine steel wool for a long time, until it looked like any other SS revolver with a normal life. I was able to find the correct sight parts after looking for a while. At the time the fine picture rear leaf was very hard to find, and generally very expensive. 2) Uncle. Background that is relevant. --- My uncle is not tactful, and that makes his life harder than it could be. He had a long standing property fight with his neighbor. The neighbor was in the wrong and made a situation that involved police. Police came and arrested my uncle for theft, and issued orders outside their authority. The law and facts were completely in my uncle's favor. (I'm an attorney, and know what I'm talking about here). The cop just went with a hunch and picked a side. He chose wrongly, and was badly embarrased and reprimanded by the judge. This lead to a grudge against my brusque uncle and the cop. Uncle a couple years later: Renter's on his rural property feed some strays intermittently. My uncle is a rough man, but with a soft spot for his cats and chickens. One of the strays sometimes fed by his renters was a large mean tom cat, which killed several of my uncle's cats, maimed the others, and killed all but two of the chickens. My uncle came up for lunch in time to see this cat stalking his favorite and last surviving cat, an older tom. He ran inside, grabbed a shotgun and shot the feral cat, and threw it's corpse off an embankment. Apparently the renter saw this, and called the cops. All this is completely legal, and reasonable. I'd have done the same. Uncle said something smartass to the renter, and similar to the cop, which was the same cop. The cop chose to charge him with cruelty to animals. Because my uncle is who he is, the prosecuting attorney was another person who had a grudge against him. I forget the reason for that one. (Life lesson. Don't be an ass.) Anyway, my uncle didn't take the thing seriously and used his business attorney short notice to mount a very crude defense to a felony charge, and came in to court looking scruffy. The jury were animal people, and my uncle looked like a jerk during the trial. The prosecutor made a big play about how many birdshot pellets were in the cat, and as though more pellets equaled more cruelty, rather than a quicker more humane death. That got him a conviction for felony cruelty to animals, and all the life hassles that go along with a felony conviction. -- and that is now off his record, and he can legally own firearms again. - Don't be an ass to people and life goes better for you.

But it does mean if your uncle who isn't into guns gets a 40 caliber handgun and walks into the store and says give me a box of 40 caliber hollow points it's almost certain he made a decent choice. If you do the same thing in 9 you might come out with 9 mm rip or something that won't penetrate adequately.

  175. If this was at all worth doing, Mark S would have done it already. Probably even if it was just for giggles. I think what he wanted was an accurate semi auto gun which was practical. He loves impractical toys too, but I don't think that was the goal in this project.

  181. Well that's one end of the spectrum. The other end is something like the M14. 15 years of development-ish. And the only basis of the job was 1 converting to a cartridge of identical mechanical energy 2 turning the dog leg operating rod into a straight operating rod for mechanical simplicity, 3 making it feed out of box magazines 4 adding a bonus happy switch which you can later disable. Obviously number four shouldn't have happened. And number two and three were reasonable and not that difficult solutions. See the Italian attempt at the same thing. I think the m17 and its predecessor programs also are informative of the other end. A good solution exists that meets all practical requirements. Actually many many well-proven and inexpensive solutions exist. but we are going to spend millions and millions and years and years to pick something. We're going to spend more studying it than it would have cost just to have bought them all. And then we're going to add some nicely requirement that doesn't add utility but does eliminate anything that is currently on the shelf. So we will get something that is basically identical to an on-the-shelf option with some very minor change but now it does not have the proof history behind it. So then we can either field it without the proof or spend a bunch more testing it. And I think the m17 is an excellent pistol. It obviously had some teething problems which would have shown up in rigorous testing. But they work those out and I think they did end up with a superior gun of the guns available. It's just they took something like 30 years of programs to end up with a gun that is basically what you could buy for $600 at any gun store.

  182. @Мармеладов ТВ He licensed it to the company around 2009 or 2010. He also licensed his name to a vodka brand before that. MK was paid for these, and had a lifetime figurehead position at IZH, and a lovely little country estate. Izhevisk machine works was renamed KK during the process of resolving the latest bankruptcy, with MK's permission. Then they formed a contractual agreement with an american company to be their stateside importer and manufacturer, giving them name rights and some technical data. That company is Kalashnikov USA. In the middle of that process, following the Ukraine situation, Obama issued an executive order that prevented united states companies from doing business with certain named Russian companies, including KK. This meant that K-USA as a legally distinct entity could keep doing business and using the name, but couldn't send money back to KK, or recieve the rest of the tooling and tecnical data from KK. At the time KK threatened to sue for some breach, which was not named. However, the trade executive order that prevented them from doing business together, also prevents lawsuits based on their contracts. Trump renewed that executive order, and expanded it to include Molot. It seems unlikely that future presidents will lift the executive order, so this situation will exist in stasis indefinitely.

  186. There is a series of detective novels by Sue Grafton. She makes a big deal throughout most of them that the protagonist carries a Colt 2000, because it is the best and she is serious about proficiency. I guess her fans must have harped on it a lot, because part way through the series the talk changes and a critical plot point is when the protagonist's Colt 2000 craps out on her. I would be willing to bet that the author was not a gun user and simply read a bunch of gun rags about the time she started the series, and took all the marketing hype at face value.

Most judges in America are elected officials, the address is they use when they run for office are public information. plus they go to court every day and in particular office it's not hard to find a judge. Most problems are an issue of incentives. If a judge would need to be replaced anytime they are doxxed and threatened, you have created an incentive to dox and threaten them . therefore is basic strategic strategic theory the only way to prevent widespread doxxing of judges, is to establish a rule that it doesn't matter.

  208. Not just one of them. All of them. US even did some. We just came into the war late enough that most of the livestock was dead. A lot of the war ran on rather humble things from civilian life. When the Americans went to italy, they traded most of their high performance motorcycles for rickety old delivery trucks. Then a few months later they went to Africa, and scrounged to get any beater of a motorcycle they could borrow. All the nations were using anything they could get their hands on to move things. Roads sucked so even stuff being hauled by truck and track, often needed farm horses or tractors to drag it out of mudholes.

  210.  @jacobmccandles1767  I thought about this a bit. In practice post-war American army was tiny. They needn't have acted as though anything they adopt must be adopted for the whole potential army versus adopted for the active army. they always had a sunk cost fallacy in updating their outdated arms as though they would have to do that same update for an army conscripted from the entire populace. Really they were fighting small frontier skirmishes and really only needed be armed for those and it probably would have been les s net resources to equip so as to win. They could have bought expensive guns. And if you think about a lever gun and something like 45 Colt versus single shots in 4570, new materials and logistical burden of transporting ammo would be not quite half per number of shots. I suppose it's kind of analogous of switching from 308 to 223. A given soldier or a given wagon to carry way more 45 Colt ammunition than they could carry 4570. The same amount of powder , brass and fulminate would finish somewhere around double the amount of firepower. That does not strike me as an increase in the logistical burden. of mercury

  211. * Some of the KSGs work. They had a lot of issues where molded in steel parts were misaligned, and caused guns to be lemons. Unlike some other gun faults, those were pretty much impossible to fix, in the way a glock with a frame rail out of place would be. Keltec apparently has issues like this when they rush production and don't allow molds to cool sufficiently between guns.

This is a different principle than the shoelace opinion. and the atf's internal lawyers wrote memos both to them self and the public saying as much. Believe me they wanted to a troll bump stocks from the beginning however they could not within the law. what they did following Trump's directive was to supply a definition in actual contradiction of the statutory definition. administrative agencies only have the authority to define things within statutory definitions that are unclear. The statute was unambiguous. This is ultra vires.

  229.  @aumann0452  it's not legal to hunt any game animal in that way. They hunt invasive hogs that way. It's not in the same section of law as restrictions for hunting deer or something like that it's more like pest control as you would think of using traps to catch rats. It's legal to kill rats there's no particular season, and you can basically use almost any method you want so long as it isn't actual torture, or creating a poison risk to other animals or a direct danger to humans. And all of those apply for the people who are doing feral hog eradication. They can't do it in a way that's unsafe. When they are shooting at hogs from helicopters it's an areas that are not very near people at all, and they have a very good backstop which is to say the ground. they're shooting at a pretty steep downward angle. They are doing it and basically open country scrub land and farm crop. They have multiple people spotting at any given time. If you think about it there is probably a lot less risk of anadvertently hitting another person than shooting normal roughly level shots in the forest from the ground. In many cases the wild hogs are not fit to eat they just need to be destroyed.

  242.  @MegaBoooooooooooooob  for a lot of them the inherent accuracy is pretty good and I know people who can shoot them very well . I've never personally like them though. The ergonomics are just wonky to me . The trigger is heavy and the cleaning process is a lot more complicated than it needs to be . Also the trigger isn't just heavy they are often gritty with a bit of a slap to it . So you get an awkward length of pull, very tiny notch sites, awful trigger, and stripper clips. Also a weird safety. they aren't cheap anymore either . So one reason to have them might be you live in a very fudd area, and hunting with an AK would be frowned on. right now the main one is you just like the idea of it . Maybe the history maybe the aesthetics . A dollar for dollar right now you can buy better AK or better AR for the same or less money . You getting in SKS it's because you just like the idea of an SKS . And that's a fine reason , but if it isn't your reasoning you probably want a different gun.in

  245. That sounds like a story worth putting on YouTube. Like the substantiated details on all of that not just ranting. Please don't mistake my tone here. It's tricky to convey exactly what I'm trying to say without it sounding rude. I'm a business attorney and all the time I get clients who have a legitimate grievance but they add in a whole lot of things they suspect into the mental category of things they know and can prove. and when you've had a grievance long enough and you fight about it long enough you tend to become a little bit irrational, and also kind of conspiracy theory thinking in your behavior. Everything they do or don't do or you hear about them doing becomes categorized as evidence of them being bad. and so when I have a client with a legitimate grievance often the most difficult part is helping this very emotionally invested client separate their legitimate grievance from all the mental debris that got attracted to it. and if you can't do that you can't think rationally and you can't make an honest case. Unfortunately many if not most people are unwilling to admit that they have added to the story in their own mind. I would be interested in hearing your story and having it published but you would have to be absolutely ruthless with yourself to remove all of the little embellishments. to separate out the things you suspect about what Facebook did and why from the things you can prove... Am I making sense? Anyway if your story is true it really does deserve to be told and I suspect it probably is true. So please consider going to the large effort to that it takes to tell your story well.

  249.  @EFCasual  I think anything made to be collectible inherently isn't. so an otherwise nice lever action rifle that has John Wayne or gene autry etc on it must depreciate faster than just a plain old 30 30. Even worse is event commemoratives. I.e. 1995 NRA convention, special edition collectible 1911. would you rather have that or the plane gun without the special edition commemorative gold inlay? Me too. it's occurred to me that if you want to really clean pristine not thrashed lever gun to go beat up in your pickup probably you want to look for all of those awful commemoratives.

  253.  @seneca983  I think perhaps I would reverse the question on you. It is always a tricky thing to distinguish between legislating from the bench and interpreting. For most of our nation's history most crimes and laws aren't actually enacted they were common-law which is to say decisions made by judges and adjusted and tweaked over centuries. So to reverse the question on you how is it exactly that you would propose a judge not make some degree of law from the bench? Whenever a case comes through if the enacted statute does not provide clear guidance on which position wins and which loses and why how do you make a decision? Practice has been to think through and make a rule that would clarify the gap in the rule in whatever way is consistent with the part of the rule that already is clear. I think it is very much a contrast when a judge goes and sets a budget for a government department or lays out a rule for an issue that is not directly before them... So again I put that question to you If you don't like that idea what exactly is the alternative you propose and how would it work in reality?

  260. Agreed. Starter episode: "Remignton model 51, then and now. Part of a series on weapons top manufacturers would like to forget" Maybe followed by inexplicable recent designs of mid to large pistols in 380 ACP. Those are destined to be footnotes. Another series I would like to see that he is specially qualified for would be: The gun that should have been chosen. A series on firearms, calibers, etc that were superior to the competition that was ultimately adopted in trials. i.e. .280 British, vs 7.62x51. This series could be a bit more subjective, as those choices are always judgement calls, and there is no consensus on the decisions even with 60 years of debate. I am sure Ian would be able to articulate his opinions and reasoning well. For instance, I think he has shown that the STG 44 would have been a more practical weapon than the FAL for NATO to adopt and improve.

  263. There's a very good book called Jonathan strange and Mr Norrel, by Susanna Clarke. It is I guess you could say historical fantasy set during the regency period. and it's exceptionally well written and that it matches the tone of other things written at the time without inserting the ideas and values of the modern person into that era. The main text the book is very dry, and assumes that the reader was aware of most of the circumstances as they would be common knowledge. Most of the story and tone is actually advanced through the big footnotes. It's very artful. I feel like Toljein maybe you wanted to do that but didn't quite pull it off. Clarke perfected it. And then she wrote a related book set in the same world so to speak written as a modern literary anthology with each chapter being completely totally different and feeling completely like it was written by a different author. I can't think of any other author who could pull that off, and have it still be something that is interesting and enjoyable to read.

  264. Part of ITAR is censorship of technical information relating to firearms. This includes things as simple as youtube videos showing teardown. It was an issue right at the end of Obama's presidency that he was trying to unilaterally adopt compliance with addendum on that treaty without actually having them confirmed by congress, even though those restrictions plainly violated our constitution. Youtube voluntarily restricts this kind of video through most of europe to avoid compliance issues.

  268.  @andyd2960  as a practical matter if you treat it as a semi-consumable half-inch mild steel handles most pistol stuff 300 blackout subs and shotgun slugs pretty well. It'll start getting mild dents from light and fast 357 mag. If you have jagged craters though you either replace the target or you treat it as a long-range target.

  269.  @randomloser4674  yes generally speaking that is true. However I have watched a lot of videos in America in similar circumstances standing there and getting shot. I would suggest reading a book called on killing by David Grossman. most people are psychologically averse to reacting with real violence.

  270. My uncle had a S&W 66 stolen in 1986. It was recovered in 2004 in another state. The sheriff's dept said it's role as evidence in trial was done, please come pick up your property. For stupid reasons, my uncle was then legally unable to posses firearms, so he signed his rights over to my brother, who has it now. I've never seen a gun more mistreated, and I fully restored it. It is a great shooter, and you would never know it's history.

  271. The bigger lesson is to live life treating people kindly and politely and you are a lot less likely to need an attorney. If you do need an attorney, hire a specialist in the field who listens to what outcome you want. Take the situation seriously, and pay attention to your appearance. Impression makes a big difference when someone has to decide which of two sides he believes.

  273.  @jantschierschky3461  honestly when I look at the New Media situation, it reminds me of when newspapers were a very new idea. Yellow journalism wins. If the same pattern repeats, we can expect to see people value having individual sources that they can trust because of methodology more than tribe. I think Wikipedia actually is at the advance of that trend. It shows the sources hot linked in the middle of the text. I think the time will come when none of us would tolerate an article that doesn't have that. I'm an attorney and I can't even stand things like the Wall Street journal talking about court cases without actually linking to the ruling, or to the pleading docs. There's no excuse it's just an artifact of old news format. There's always going to be people who just want reactionary yelling. there will also always be people who want to be well-informed and they're willing to do a little bit of work to get there. For both, I think the market will begin to deliver what they demand. We've got the first half...

  274. Yeah. Siaga 12 and Vepr mags do this just fine. 3" mag or shorter. The S12 has a better gas system for adjusting to greatly varying power. I have modified autoplugs in mine, which enable them to run rougly 2.75 dram eqivalent through max 3"mag loads without any adjustments, flawlessly. The adkal 1919 mags are okay too, but the quality of some of the mechanical parts of the gun means that it will wear quickly with full power magnums. Aftermarket parts made from better materials mitigate that somewhat. There's room for improvment in all the current designs, but they are whole generations of development simpler than typical pump guns. They kinda got a bad rap, because a significant minority of the earlier imports had improper gas ports, or other minor assembly problems. Easy enough to fix, but most people throw down a gun in disgust rather than fix it in the American market. If it has the right number and size of unobstructed gas ports, a saiga or vepr will basically run anything in it's wide window of function extremely reliably. If one of those things is wrong, it is wrong pretty much all the time. No lurking defects. If your gun has issues you know it. If it doesn't, it doesn't.

  276. That's incorrect. Max pressure for both are essentially the same however they measure the pressure at different locations. 556 isn't particularly spicier than 223 although a lot of commercial 223 is downloaded. The difference is the shape of the chamber where the bullet goes in. 556 basically has a little bit more room in the leade. And it is a very little bit.

  278. skm1091 yes. That gun was overbuilt and they were asking about $250 k for it. It worked, but it surely took a lot of tries and probably a lot of cleanup to make it work. Watch the recent forgotten weapons video with Hudson. The same company printed their prototype too. It is a way to make a rough one off, but the metal behaves more like cast iron than machined steel.

  280. Yep, but in context when 2 of twelve had them, he said that was enough. He was mostly making the point there that he was laying his life down freely, not from inability to resist. Also, given the realities of swords and Peter's personality, Jesus had to be aware that those guys already had them, which he must also have been fine with, since he didn't stop it. It's a packed little passage. From it we can reasonably infer that Jesus supports a right to be armed, but not a requirement, that those arms should be on par with military, and that it wasn't his main point, since he apparently never brought it up before. It puts down those who claim christians can never use violence, and those who think you are a bad husband who doesn't love his family if you don't spend all your free time and income on tactical training in the same moment.

The assembly of the other components would be time consuming and tricky, but less so than making forming dies to make 44 rimfire brass.

  288.  @circleofsorrow4583  A compact roland special or whatever is very street practical. A S&W shield core with porting and an optic is a very practical carry gun too. Ditto for the little Walther compact carry pistol with integral optic. The fact that each of those is made strong enough to shoot 9 major out of the box is very much a result of competition, as are the other features. Those are very street worthy improvements right down to the wildcat derived +P+ ammo capability.

Well I would definitely prefer to have those tools bought at a reasonable cost from a US supplier or from a country with at least a halfway decent trade policy with us in decent human rights record. I'm sure the many computers used by the US military are not entirely US made. US made only is not a hill I will die on. A good product with good product support from an ethical company sounds like a better standard to me. If we are doing reasonable trade with other countries they will be doing it back with us. It all comes around

The early furniture was a sort of fibreglass type hand laid stuff that was a little too light and not very cost effective. Also it was specific to sides, so an armorer had to keep spares for each side in inventory. It was a small problem quickly remedied.

  302. I think by the time they came to market, they knew the company was going under and were just trying to satisfy pre-orders and get out as honorably as possible. I've seen that happen even with legit products. Even with a product that doesn't suck for a fair price, if you get caught in develop&deliver limbo, you run into debt and bad public perception into such a big hole you can't recover. example: Kushnapup (not something I wanted per-se, but there was real demand and the market would have happily paid almost double their asking price. But add ~3 years of delay on the pre-ordered units, and there isn't enough capital left to make a second run after the development costs are covered.)

  303. WWI era naval ships and land sighting stations had complex optical mechanical computers that could calculate range and trajectory. They used a stereoscopic system that measured the difference in perspective between two different lenses. If you knew the length of your target ship, that helped to calculate its distance. On many of the more modern ships, one or two sailors would keep a scope trained on the target ship, and the math people/ machines would do the trigonometry to calculate where to fire to hit it. A firing officer would input the data, and hold the fire button. As the firing ship rolled with the waves, the guns would automatically fire when the guns lined up with the appropriate position relative to the scopes. Dazzle camo made it tricky to keep the scopes trained on a matching spot or to calculate the size.

  317.  @Ben-Downlow.  nope Maxim himself was an American. The Vickers company had been an outgrowth of Maxim which had for period of time been merged in with the Scandinavian company.... The Germans derived theirs from a license with the maximum company which occurred before it became the Vickers Maxim company..... And a lot of Maxim's ideas happen during a European tour and my understanding is a lot of his prototyping happened in Belgium. And I could be wrong on a lot of the timing of those details. However to call it a German gun is definitely not right. you could call it a pan European gun designed by an American and that be closer to it.

  323. Post cartridges are nice and fairly similar in power. I think I prefer 10 mm in an auto and 357 in a revolver. That may be boring but it is just true. Either one is well suited. Only one of the two calibers could exist I suppose they probably pick 10 mm because it runs well in both platforms without a lot of clever tricks.

  324. To be honest it's fairly rare for an American to have a reason to say Oxfordshire in either way. (edit, I accidentally posted at this point, which might come across as impolite.) The point I was going to make is that if you get to general American recognition of Oxford, the shire isn't part of it at all. In general, I think most of us would know there's an Oxford university somewhere or other, and that it is prestigious. We also probably know of Oxford as being a basic type of shirt for office workers at the bottom of the professional queue. If you asked the man on the street what "shire" meant, he'd probably say, " I dunno, where hobbits are from?" A couple decades ago, it would have been "where Robin Hood is from, I guess?" This is because most of us have no more reason to be aware of it than you would have the need to know the correct way to pronounce Willamette, or Oregon. In general, people from the UK put a lot more pride and emphasis on their regionalisms, than is done here. Americans do have pride of place, but not to the degree that is generally caricatured in EU media. Alaskans and Hawiians are a lot more likely to make it part of their identity. Texans to a lesser extent, though they talk of it more. For them, it is more of a shared running joke with an element of truth. We alaskans love to make fun of the people from little texas...

  327. I'd add that they are a category that is intrinsically pleasant to use, in a common caliber, and they aren't economically feasible to keep making. So full size metal frame early 90s sig and S&W police pistols in 40 and 357 sig are currently under valued for what they are. They are finely finished fun to shoot pistols made to last. Not my first carry choice, but a very nice nightstand gun/range toy. The calibers are out of fashion. Out of fashion, but not intrinsically bad.... It's currently trendy to hate on 40 S&W, like it was trendy to hate on arisakas. When the market corrects on those exaggerated negative opinions....

  331.  @JohnDobak  there are places where it isn't that way. Stephens county in Washington State has exemptions to the building code. You have to build the code if you are a licensed contractor, if you were going to have tenants or commercial use the building with employees, or you plan to sell it. however if you're going to live in it yourself you can opt out of planning. It's a beautiful thing. I knew a guy with a log cabin who had a ridge log almost a meter thick. And it would never pass code because you can't certify the fail rating of that log. You could say certify a laminated plank but is 10 cm by 30, and that would be more than enough to pass for the rated snow load of the roof. But not the massive log.

  334.  @onemoremisfit  Thanks for the explanation. I have wanted a boberg for a while, and it always seemed NBD to me since I put a positive crimp on the ammo I load. I wonder how many people that run cheap surplus or plinker ammo through their transferable SMGs take the step of using a progressive press to rapidly cycle all the ammo through a factory crimp die as a precaution. I think I would. The same goes for carrying a boberg. I think if there were some ammo that I wanted to run, but were prone to setback, I would just kiss it with the FCD and test. I am confident that would solve the few types of ammo it is picky about.

  340. "Psychopath" (& "high functioning sociopath")is a clinical derogatory term for people whose emotional make up suits them to function usefully for others under harsh conditions. IMO the definition tells you more about the values and personality types of the people that tend to make up the mental health professions than it does about the relative normalcy (or mental health) of those few who can defer or suppress emotions during extreme conditions. What it shows is that the mental health attitudes of the last century is very prescriptive. They made a value judgement about what the "right kind of person" is, then gave it a whitewash of science. It's applied philosophy, with some measurement to justify what are intrinsically subjective opinions. A lot of that developed in reaction to societal values of men who were emotionally durable, but not emotionally engaged. The mental health profession rejected this value and substituted its opposite. Obviously, the ability to suppress emotions and behave rationally is valuable, as is "vulnerability". It doesn't need to be an either/or choice. However, lack of ability to suppress emotions is a severe handicap for any job that deals with crisis or decisions which should run contrary to the default emotional drives. If you've read "On Killing" or similar works, you find that very small numbers of troops in any branch of military service are actually willing to kill without extreme circumstantial pressure. Those few who either lack such inhibitions or are able to set them aside more easily account for more kills than hundreds of their peers. Many of the critical military positions actively seek out those who have this attribute. i.e. special forces, fighter pilots, snipers, machine gunners. Basically, knowing that most people won't kill when they objectively should, the few who do are a very valuable resource and are carefully allocated.

  341. Yes that is true. However that is a different proposition than saying assume that all instructions will be lawful and there are no instructions which you should not obey. And this is the moving goal post. People should generally be respectful of each other. Cops have a hard job but they also have the ability to hassle people and many of them do. It isn't a question of whether we should respect cops or our individual rights it's both. I get very annoyed at the back the blue mentality and also the ACAb mentality. Both of them make it in all or nothing that is just fake.

  350.  @seneca983  every tool is capable of being used or misused. That doesn't make it good or bad The question is how much range do you give it. or another way of asking the question is is it actually possible to limit that power? Perfect rules being applied by imperfect people tend to get ignored. Nullificationication and judicial discretion allow for choosing not to apply unjust rules or adjusting imperfect or incomplete rules. but every system that you could possibly conceive of ultimately has a person applying the rule. If you limit the power of that person you're only limiting that power by having another person with the ability to check them. So you haven't actually got humanity out of the loop. You've just redistributed the potential for human error or malice to do good or harm. In our present system the jury acts as a check on the judge and prosecutors and cops. And to a certain degree the judge also acts as a check on the jury. arduous Prudence has come to the conclusion that these sole valid purpose of the jury is to determine factual matters and to allow all legal reasoning to reside with the judge. I see nothing in the text of the Constitution that says that is what was intended. It could well be that they intended for the jury to interpret both law and facts. though for the most part I agree with the way we have distributed those responsibilities. In general I expect of the judges to do a much better job of applying law to the facts. This is also part of the difference between a bright line rule with factors and a rule with multiple considerations in some kind of a balancing test. Really those aren't rules so much is just saying let the judge use his opinion and discretion to decide and he can justify his decision retroactively.

  354. My theory (uneducated) for why the smaller powers had ~6.5mm cartridges was that they were closer to blank slates. Like all militaries they had elements seeking the latest tech. Most other powers had a lot of institutional groupthink that resists change. However those guys were so small, that they lacked an element who thought they needed a compromise between "old reliable" (Lot's o' power and heavy projectile) and "new tech" (controllable flat shooting, moderate recoil.) Further the longer minimum point blank range is easier to train on a smaller budget for range time.

  368.  @christopherreed4723  yeah the thing is the super-special-don't-sell-to-the-public rounds use very standard 55 grain military type projectiles. No fancy penetrator. Just fmj. The velocity is known so they're actually quite easy to replicate in performance . Bulk mil spec 55 grain loaded to just subsonic in a 7" barrel. There are several US commercial vendors that offer just that.And it is not a difficult thing for handloaderalthough the cartridge is known for being a little bit of a pain.

  369.  @electricgamez5415  but the blunt is fact is in most cases: The gun does not leave very unique markings on the cases or the bullets. Rather it's sort of like that scene from my cousin Vinny. It'll tell you the type of gun and the type of bullet more than it will tell you this gun. It's like saying the killer had this blood type versus the DNA identified it was this guy. Distinctive tool marks where and polish out of guns as they're used, and unless they get distinctive damage they are probably going to become more and more generic for their model. The other thing that people don't seem to understand is that in most cases most investigations are not using the full battery of forensics tools that are possible those take time and money and apartments have limited resources of both. it is very rare that police departments actually take fingerprints for anything way back in the 2000s when I was working in a prosecutor's office, I had seen internal memos the effect that we should request fingerprints only when it would make the difference for a case because it cost us $86 per sample that was sent to the state crime lab and for a case he usually need to send dozens of samples because you need elimination prints. It's kind of a similar deal for tracing firearms or bullet cases it takes one level of examination to go oh yeah this came from a Glock. it takes a lot more work to say this came from exactly this particular Glock. and in general you only need that If you have the particular clock in which case you probably already have more than enough other evidence to prove that this guy was the shooter. Whereas if you were trying to figure out who did the shooting and you don't have the suspect and you don't have the gun getting high detail on the The brass is a very expensive long shot. It will only pay off if you eventually get the guy and the gun. however if you get the wrong guy and he is a defendant he may say I want analysis on those cases to prove that it is not my gun- and that's an easier thing to prove.

Then as now these cast up just fine and I would have no problem dumping a few hundred of them through a gun between cleanings.

A lot of the way Lloyd talks about firearms makes it obvious that he hasn't spent much time with them. I think he's fun but he tends to speculate. The three guys in this group are very very unjingoistic which is not a thing I can say of Lloyd. He likes to throw a little nationalistic barbs but he's thin skinned on receiving them. I think he's got a lot of good ideas and is thoughtful and is a good storyteller. His videos on Lindy etiquette are spot on. That's probably the subject mirror matter that he has the real expertise in. has a person who's done a lot of social dancing there is a lot that makes a difference between a dance go well and not. and I haven't seen Lloyd say anything that is even remotely incorrect when it comes to dance.

This branch of government is entirely non-democratic they don't represent anybody they weren't voted for by anybody and nobody you voted for can tell them to stop. you don't get to vote on the proposals either you can comment on them and then they must by law reply and then do whatever they felt like they were going to do in the first place. Since the mid-thirties the United States has not been a primarily representative government. It just wears the window dressings of it. The bulk of our laws are made interpreted and enforced by unelected officials. We are a civil code based state now, like France.

It's kind of amazing . Not to mention scary . So the sensible thing to do is adapt to modern air tank to old timey appearance and have an adapter made for the thread pattern

  410. @chmandcrm  I think the idea that they need to have a lighter pistol that takes common accessories and has a way to track maintenance done on it is inherently reasonable. The primary problems with the Beretta pistol was that they had been abused for decades, and lacked any clear system to track round count on each pistol let alone the wear components.

The objective overwhelming truth is that modern cars engine and drive trains routinely last hundreds of thousands of miles. Cars from the 1950s needed rebuilt about every 50K. Simpler didn't really last longer. The trend is also true for 1980s and 1990s vehicles.

  421. Stefan Sierraoneoneseven There might still be sales tax. However we were talking about a $200 per item registration tax that applies to Title II NFA items in U.S.A. Basically certain kinds of guns, such as machine guns or short rifles and shotguns, a category called  AOW, silencers, large bore guns, and explosive weapons must be registered with a special tax and processing.

  422. The crazy Weaponcrafter I couldn't make myself watch that show. The few episodes where he pretended to invent stuff he had been selling for years, or that were copies of parts made by tromix just capped off the general distaste for the reality hype format. The suppressor prototype had been debuted on the S12 forum probably about 6 months before he signed to the show. Interestingly that was a few months after Cadiz Gun Works (Tom Cole) had been selling one. RJF had been basically a competent and reasonably priced assembler of other people's parts into decent mid level builds before the show. Afterwards their prices shot up, quality control went down, and wait times became absurd. Their staff lying to customers about delivery times became the norm. Previously they were known for being very fast turn around for custom work and very reasonable prices.

  434. +1 These books are a guilty pleasure. While they are certainly cheesy schlock ticking all the cliche boxes, they still end up being very fun. I will buy them as often as he writes them. Larry Correa used to run a gun store, and still teaches CCW classes, and LE training courses. He is a 3 gun competitor, and wrote one of the most persuasive articles on gun control for the average person I have ever read. (It's good for something other than choir preaching.) See here:http://1389blog.com/2012/12/23/larry-correia-refutes-the-gun-controllers-once-and-for-all/ I was introduced to him, because I spend too much time on the saiga forums, and lots of MHI fans come periodically to see what they can do to get a legal version of the protagonist's custom Saiga 12, "abomination." Minus the happy switch and SBS chop, most of us are actually playing with nicer guns than that now, but when MHI came out, the parts described were daydreams for most saiga owners. Now they are off the shelf parts. Well, maybe not the silver inlaid spring loaded bayonet...

It was a human problem. This never happens to me, honest . The 870 is flawlessly reliable . It isn't the clumsy loading mechanism at. I can totally field strip it and reassemble it in under 1/2 hour on my third try every time. There's absolutely no room for improvement this is the perfect system is good as it ever could be.

  450.  @Keckegenkai  You seem to be making the mistake of looking at people as labels rather than as individuals. As a person who does go out into the woods a lot, I see at least as many subies out there as jeeps. I've seen a lot more jeeps stuck in ditches on roadside when it snows. I think the difference is that the subaru is cheap enough to actually use. The people who buy them look at the places as the goal, not as an excuse to justify tricking out the vehicle, so they go more places. The rock crawlers view the vehicle build itself as the goal so the occasional offroad challenges are just frequent enough to prove out the latest motifications, (or repairs.) Not saying one or the other is better, just saying that's what I see.

  451. While some stupidly assembled 300 BO loads can chamber in a .223 gun, 1) this usually requires stupid levels of force AND a weak crimp. (This isn't the high tech kind of telescoping ammo, it's the shoddily made kind) 2) these are only due to cartridges loaded with projectiles not intended for the caliber, most notably 30 carbine bullets, and the 147 grainers intended for 7.62 nato. For both of those projectiles, the ogive of the bullet can mimic the shoulder of a .223/556 case but generally very over length. Simply using appropriate projectiles completely alleviates this potential risk. With the right projectiles, the bullet would hit the lands with the bold a good quarter inch out of battery. I always make a point of comparing any load side by side with a .223 and making sure there is no way to chamber it incorrectly. IMO, this is worth being careful about but the risk is largely overblown. There is far more real world risk of people putting 20 ga in a 12, and 9mm in a 40 S&W, both of which happen quite frequently. I practice having distinct magazines for 300 BO and avoid storing the guns & accessories in the same places. I also avoid mix and matching on a single range trip, at least without a little effort at keeping them separate. Gear that has room for human error has room for improvement. But that said, I can't help but think that the people who get this wrong would tend to get other stuff wrong too, and will hurt themselves one way or another.

  452. I think that everything everywhere all at once, highlights the inherent flaw in the metamodern perspective. It essentially says that nihilism is rational and correct but then decides that values are nice and you'd prefer to have it values for just going to pretend that you haven't observed that there is no basis for your values. It's cognitive dissonance presented as a virtue. Little moment that is supposed to be triumphant and everything everywhere all at once just rings hollow. Another good example is the little scene in A beautiful mind where he concludes its all okay because he "believes in assigning value to things." . The problem is he knows but he doesn't believe in inherent value and he's admitting that his values are subjective and arbitrary and that he doesn't value subjective values. It's a recursive problem. To paraphrase a metamodern cartoon - that's just nihilism with extra steps. It's ultimately unsatisfying.
    3
  453. I thought the same for auto pistols and sub guns. There is ample evidence that the good ones are extremely controllable even for a complete novices. and yet people keep saying the same stuff over and over you don't need full auto because it's useless and too hard to control. well it wouldn't be useless and too hard to control if we were developing it would it then? Because even a full autograph pistol is pretty easy to use, and the last 15 years of suppressor development has shown huge gains in service life simplicity and performance. I think we're honestly at the point of diminishing returns where there's not a lot of improvement left to be had in suppressors. Really it's just getting a nice standardized mounting system that we are waiting on. And we are currently experiencing the VHS versus betamax of that.

I did get a degrees in criminal justice was a pretty heavy emphasis on crime statistics. I also had a job for a few years that generated crime statistics and audited for the quality of entries. You can't successfully cherry pick your way out of this one. Homicide is homicide. Most developed nations are basically at the same rates. It's pretty much the only crime where you can clearly do an apples to apples comparison between nations. Cuz just about nobody disagrees with what are the elements the constitute that particular crime.

  465. Mostly because the shotgun market is very conservative. The people who use shotguns for defense tend to do so because of mythological belief in the platform. This doesn't leave a lot of room for improvement in the market. On the other end are tacticool kids who like looks more than performance. Most of the practical people have jumped to AR 15. There are reliable modern shotguns which incorporate the advances which have made carbines popular, but the old tech still dominates the market.

I was early twenties, and had a car with really low ground clearance. This guy assumed because he was older than me He was my boss. I was always respectful but not submitted to that. The neighbors that were passed me had suburbans and similar vehicles and would drive up the road at frankly unsafe speeds of like 35 or 40 miles an hour. Unsafe because there were several kids in the house past me and bushes obscured the view so you would not have time to stop. I would drive down that road at about 15 miles an hour. But the problem neighbor insisted that nobody could drive on the road faster than five because he said so. Several times he confronted me quite angrily and I told him that I would drive it a reasonable speed and that he had no legal ability to dictate his opinion on me. one night at close to midnight when my brother was staying over for the night, The other neighbors as usual zoomed past my house at approximately 35 or 40 mph. A few minutes later the problem neighbor knocked on my door. I anticipated it was actually the elderly gentleman who lived in between us- a good neighbor. I was wrong it was the problem neighbor and he'd clearly been drinking a little bit although I did not realize that until later. He brought one of his Mastiffs with him. He was doing all the classic pre-fight body language, means on his neck flushed face, Right I had a right eye eye eye contact, raising volume of voice lean forward bladed stance, and he kept making half steps into my doorway, He also kept clenching and unclenching his hands into fists at his side and I doubt he was where he was doing that. The whole time I was far less concerned with him then with his dog which was trying to push past him into my apartment. my read on the situation was probably that he would throw one punch feel that he was the big man and go home and then I would call the cops, but that dog would not stop because it was keying off of his aggression. In my mind the entire time I was thinking through my plan of how I would feed the dog my left forearm while I got out my pocket knife which I can do one handed and take out its throat. I had a pistol in a drawer that was right next to that door and it isn't normally where I keep it, but in that situation a step and a half away was too far away. That was a learning experience. The good neighbor who lived between us would never believe anything bad about Mike. This is in about a month later on one of the several times he tried to block the driveway to keep me from coming past I steered around him and he screamed and obscenity and punched my rear window as I drove by. I'm sure he was trying to take out the glass. Me neighbor in between witness the whole event and would continually express his surprise. I told him I couldn't understand why he would be surprised since I had repeatedly told him beforehand about Mike's behavior. but you know Mike had done him some favors like helped him carry a dryer so he obviously couldn't be a bad guy... So the lessons learned? A gun in a drawer isn't much good. People have a hard time overcoming preconceptions, and I am unsure that that neighbor would have been a reliable witness, If it came to court. and it also pays to visualize what you would do in advance. I had visualized that if I ever had a problem I would not let them cross my doorway and where I would stand to be a barrier, That's what I did and I think if I had not done that the dog would have been in my house and would have attacked me.

  474.  @nunyabidniz2868  Yes but that too expensive... claim is based off of the assumption that the army is going to outfit all of their potential soldiers with the weapons system. I wasn't actually proposing that. I was proposing that they just buy them off the shelf and issue them to the Buffalo soldiers and the like that were actually out doing the job. Skip that option process and supplying all of the potential army and just supply the actual army that was out in the field, one unit at a time. Tell each sergeant that he gets a small bonus if he gets through a particular pay period with no weapons breakages and all weapons underneath him in good working order. No he has an incentive to keep them in good shape and the soldiers trained in how to operate them correctly. for cheaper than trying to train a bunch of armorers how to correct the mistakes.

You can get gas tubes with a curly q in them that effectively lengthen the gas system. you can get reinforced gas tubes which meltdown at a higher temperature but that's stupid.

  488. I agree with all of that except for the avoiding dangerous areas thing. If all of the honest people avoid an area they have now made it an area that is inherently dangerous to anybody who does not have a choice to be there. They have yielded that territory to bad people. I will happily accept an insult and de-escalate and avoid confrontation. But I don't think it's right to let bad people take over an area of town. My presence and anybody else's who is not an aggressive thug in an area makes it an area that is socially unacceptable to be in aggressive thug. Normality sets the tone that creates a safe space. Like my carrying a gun doesn't make the world safer in itself. My presence in a place though can. And it's the mere presence that matters a whole lot more than whether I'm carrying or not. I became very aware of this fact when I was in law school and a lot of the areas that I wanted to jog or places that women I knew would not jog with me. It would have been a whole different issue if there were a half a dozen other guys there who weren't creepy. I think broken window theory got hijacked and distorted but it recognized an inherent truth. People adjust their behavior in general to be consistent with what is perceived to be appropriate in their surroundings. Every one of us is either adding two or detracting from the acceptable standards of behavior in a place. You can make a place a good neighborhood just by being there while being good. You can make it a bad neighborhood just by avoiding it. I choose not to make bad neighborhoods. I am not saying that you need to make the choices I make but I am suggesting that you should consider this thought.

But don't take my word for it, take it from some other guy on the internoodle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg2fSD2Vl58 Language isn't static, however much we would like it to be. Unfortunately for you, if you take the position that it is static, then you are still claiming to be wrong, as you are asserting that the intermediate pronunciation is the correct one, not the original or the more recently predominant version, and not both pronunciations. Additionally, you are in the geopolitical minority, as your version is popular with the least number of nations, and not even the majority of English speakers. So, you might want to get off the high pony, and climb onto a horse.

  493. Your sense of history is askew. We yanks are closer to a linguistic time capsule, as we formed literate at the same time as a universal bible, and standardized dictionaries and schoolbooks. We had 4 major regional dialects which have been largely homogenized by the broadcast era. Meanwhile England/ the UK was still evolving (or corrupting, if you prefer.) Of course, English itself is a bastardization of other languages, but even England doesn't speak some mythically pure version of the language. England can't agree on one pronunciation of anything, and presently has about 24 major subspecies of the language, which repeat on a strange geographic grid across your nation. Since you seem to think the language is bastardized by we filthy colonials, which regional dialect from which era is the true and proper English? BBC's version from the 1930s? Perhaps the Georgian period London shopkeeper's English which was only really spoken by educated people from lower classes who spoke other dialects at home? How about the drawl spoken by your gentry? The nasal twang of Churchill, or the "Silly old Ass" public school patois of PG Wodehouse's world? P'raps Yorkshire or Manchester style from present day? I eagerly await your response which shall set a final solution to this age old problem.

  498. I have long thought thaqt gas delayed blowback would be optimal for shotguns. This is because of the enormous range of variation in energy and pressure from shell to shell. Gas delay would automatically proportionally increase delaying force with chamber pressure. That solves the biggest challenge for semi auto shotguns. The other big challenges have to do with the wonky shapes (plural) of shells.

As long as you have a halfway decent trigger , a decent optic, And a light free float tube, You're pretty much gonna be good . All of those things are cheap , and you can get some really good barrels for under hundred and 50 bucks . Faxxon and ballistic advantage both come to mind.

  518. So, the lawsuit wouldn't be about a patent. That would immediately get thrown out of the court. That tells me that almost certainly what the lawsuit is about is trade secret which is a lot more fact intensive. But even that is going to require a bunch of documentation to prove that you did the work to protect the trade secret that everybody understood that it was a secret etc. I doubt they will win on that one trade secrets are pretty hard to prove. The other sort of thing I could see would be enforcement of a non-compete clause.

  519.  @DBCisco  I've got a doctorate in the subject matter. (And related work experience.) You have assumptions. I'm describing what is not what ought to be, and not what the text of the Constitution says. Simply what exists now. I have not stated that I am in favor of the present state of affairs. I am simply described how it currently works. We do have four branches of government and the fourth one has the powers of all the other three. Just at the federal level the federal register shows the new proposed changes to law every year in a bank of text that would be about 6 ft high and 40 ft long on a bookshelf. You will find similar things at state and county levels too. Law in America is primarily written by subject matter experts in a non-representative manner. You may not like it but this is reality. This can be a learning experience for you you just got somebody who actually practices in the business to tell you how it really is. In all seriousness, only a fool assumes he knows what the other person knows or doesn't know especially on the internet. You don't have to continue to be one. You can be humble when talking to strangers. That gives you a far better chance of them listening to you. Stating "get an education" or "go research it" is the lamest of lame 'arguments' and it never actually gets somebody to research it. Rather it just makes you feel like you know more than them whether or not you actually do. Similarly writing an all cap letters is like yelling at somebody, it just makes you louder not more authoritative.

Though I will add credentialing is not the same as actually being right being right is and you aren't. so far the level of understanding you have demonstrated is that you perhaps once watched a schoolhouse rock cartoon. on the other hand I can say I recently won a trial relating to application of the electoral process. Show me something that would demonstrate that you have more actual knowledge and experience than strong feelings. I will also say I can always learn more. can you?

Taurus beat Beretta to the design of an automatic firing pin interrupt . That's what the AF stands for in PT99-AF.

Although sometimes the way the author talks about it gives you the impression that he was not a gun guy and just asked his gun guy friends what gun they thought it was cool and he assumed it was powerful. 32acp

Especially with heavy machine guns, cannons, mortars, grenades, and even normal rifles penetrating it, going over or around it. Even if you could make a shield a man could carry, that somehow provided adequate coverage while moving, they couldn't make mild steel fast enough, let alone armor plate grade steel. Also even grading steel was a very new art. Quality metal was a very scarce commodity and most of that went to making artillery barrels or battleship armor.

  560. Small countries, particularly unstable ones have small armies that are more likely to be used in actual combat. Therefore they tend to buy high tech guns. It's not like they need to replace a million of them, and any technical advantage helps to quell a rebellion. A country like France has to replace thousands of them, they have to appease local manufacturers, and look at servicing the new gun or manufacturing it themselves. Ethiopa can afford to buy a few hundred with a warranty, and have that meet all their needs. What they don't have is local gunsmith skill, so they would need something which would just work no matter what.

Agreed, except for your fist sentence. .40 is considered a high pressure round, but it is not "considered +p by default." +p is a definded term, meaning that the cartridge is within official designated pressure range, that is higher than the standard designated pressure range. .40 S&W is a high pressure round whose range is standardized as such. The guns are built by default to those pressure levels. (Though some of the early flavors were engineered up from 9mm pistols and were a stretch.) However, If you are talking about those hotrod cartridges and the firearms built for them, you aren't talking about 45 ACP anymore. Much of what you said applies to 9mm Major, which can be loaded up to energy levels bordering on .357 mag, using standard 9mm brass. As with the 45ACP +P+ variants, there is a real risk of ammo mixup with common firearms which can't handle the hot ammo. Considering that there are now so many good performing cartridges in standard calibers and pressure ranges, it is hard to justify either outside of novelty or competition.

  564. Perfect answer there.

  565. Premature. You are two of my favorite bits of infotainment. Who needs cable? I have family in AZ and kinda hope I can use crashing one of your two gun matches as an excuse to visit them or vice-versa.

  566. That's a really neat gun. I would be tempted to make the piece that is responsible for timing to a little higher standard than the hammer and try it out some. What's your opinion on whether it is responsible to put wear on a civil war era percussion revolver?

  567. Yes and if something and the sticker identified the fallacy of the poster , and had some kind of Meme shorthand for the rebuttal...

  568. The crazy Weaponcrafter That is always depressing to hear. I believe the firearm you are describing is the dardick autorevolver. If you haven't yet seen them a channel called Lifesizepotato probably has the best source of information you are likely to find about it.

  569. It would be very loud. 22lr from a small pistol is ear splitting. Remember that his mic limits out.

  570. The simple way to make the difference in bulled depth measureable would be to use large blocks of foam, layered with sheets of masoninte rather than wood. Your density would be more consistant, and the penetration deeper. The total flight height would probably be lower since you would have more surface are for a given mass.

  571. It can be aimed though.

He would probably be a very valuable resource for information about equipment used in the era as well as tactical theory.

  578. Link to the actual review column he did: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2013/11/08/taurus-ct9-carbine-review/ p.s. I just saw one of these and wanted one, because I expected it would share mags with my Taurus PT99 AF (PT92 uses the same mags, and M9 mags can be modified easily.) Are you sure it does not work with any of the taurus pistol mags?There are plenty of 30 rounders around for the pt99/92 series, and the beretta 30 round mags are easily altered for those pistols. A gun like this would also make a very fun suppressor host. The sight line and ergonomics seemed good on the one I handled. They would easily clear a suppressor too. I liked the furniture, but a G36-like folder is what it really wants. The gun could be a little lighter, but it wasn't bad.

  582. Cool video, but your circle packing model is off. You also need to include circles which intersect like a Venn Diagram. The Lifesaver shot you have is an example. This was discussed in detail by one of the famous pistol exhibition shooters in the early 1900s, and it is a very fun read. He was also one of the pioneers of high speed photography and I would be willing to bet you have seen photos of his bullet cutting a playing card. Like you he was fascinated with how things worked and the limits of what an average human could do with normal tools using careful observation and lots of practice. Audible a book called: "Fancy Revolver shooting" by Ed McGivern. - be sure to get a later printing, since they also include some really fun photos.

  584. I have been wanting to run some outlaw matches for a while now, so I watch stuff like this just to steal ideas. The fact that you chose oddball historical footnotes and run them against modern firearms is just bonus entertainment.

  585. Sometimes. I doubt I will ever find a glock to be aesthetically beautiful, even if it almost meets the definition of "elegant design."

  586. someone above commented that the idea was probably to keep you from decocking it. So you wouldn't stick a new mag in and forget that you need to work the slide to keep from shooting it. this keeps you from running the gun dry.

  587. I'd like to see you guys do rematches sometime with the gear traded from prior historical match ups. i.e. Karl uses what you used, and you use his kit.

    2
  591. I'm not sure if I would love or hate that slide release feature. I did look into the Gp6, as that was how I was introduced to the product, from a happy owner. In general I would want a more popular firearm for parts support. However, there are not many options for those of us who would like a 10mm pistol with decent capacity, that wasn't drawn with only a ruler.
    2
  592. Right. The same is said for fixed barrel guns or linear moving barrels ala M9. I haven't noticed a significant difference, but maybe someone with a ransom rest can.
    2
  593. While we can see that it would have a sucky time of finding the sight picture without fingering the trigger, and also it must make the trigger far less smooth and crisp, it makes sense from the concept of a revolver like trigger safety. Long pull that smooths out in the end= no inadvertent pulls.

  603. Not all have those
    2
  604. Or a way to get a lot of gas in the face. IMO Gas delayed makes sense for both, and has been done in pistols. For shotties, it could make even more sense, since the key challenge with making a shot gun run is the huge variability in the ammo, primarily in gas pressure and volume, but also dimensional and mass. One of the benefits of gas delay is that the delaying force is directly proportional to the cycling force, since an increase in gas volume/pressure is happening on both sides.
    2
  605. This is pretty useful. In a former job I tapped tens of thousands of holes and the best taps we used were from an industrial supplier and I don't know the brand but the rules of thumb we found to be true were that for a given bolt size the one with fewer flutes cuts better, and gun taps always start easier and straighter than the normal plug tap. Also it's in your certainty that you can hold it easier and straighter using a cordless drill than any tap wrench. Especially if you have a little jig for holding straightness. I will always do my initial tapping with a drill if I have to finish it off with a tap wrench then that's fine.

  606. Frankly the existence of the solid brass case is what might be flipping my opinion on it as something viable for someone like me. This can be a decent hunting round I just wouldn't want to be stuck without brass. Even if I was only getting 80% of the performance that's still a pretty nice round.

  610. Criminal profiling is basically cold reading of a crowd. They named a whole bunch of characteristics in advance and give them self credit for any that happened to be right and ignore those that happen to be wrong. It is as scientifically reliable as phrenology. People love the idea that a brilliant detective can picture the bad guy and then go find the bad guy that matches his picture. But it isn't reality and it has a terrible track record. Is frequently used to justify huge violations of search and seizure and has led to ignoring the actual perpetrators of crimes in many occasions.

  611. There aren't really any other guns in the same range. The RN50 is stronger than basically all of the competition by a healthy margin.

  612. Which is why we all carry single action army revolvers. I am not saying pumps are garbage. I am saying that there is enormous room for improvement, and equally large resistance to admitting this fact. Also, I am saying that several firearms have solved pretty much all the primary disadvantages of conventional shotguns, and should be looked at as the new standard in the way that the modern assault rifle, and derivatives replaced manual action rifles.

  615. But he did, by referencing the mauser style and mentioning that x39's taper causes the cartridges to lever towards eachother and bind in the clip. You may not have had a problem, but a lot of other people have found them to be finicky, unless you do everything "just so". Awkward to do unless you drop the gun down into your work zone. Not ideal for topping off while prone and aimed in.

  616. As the other guy said they get to make up the comparison so all they have to do is choose one of their shorter handle or a different pivot point ratio and compare to that.

I went on a lot of rough roads with deep muddy ruts where kitted out jeeps were getting stuck. There's a lot to be said for picking your line and letting enertia carry you past the bad bits.

  625.  @duanesamuelson2256  full power 40 standard pressure is also more energetic than 45 ACP standard pressure. People think because they're in between in size they must be in between in power but that's not the case. If you're ranking the common out of pistol calibers it's nine 45 then 40. It's currently very popular to rag on 40 Smith & Wesson but it's a pretty decent little round It's optimized for terminal ballistics and 9mm optimized for handling and recoil management. 45 is optimized for being manufactured and functioning in 1918, I'm getting about as good a terminal effect you're going to get out of round nose ball without adding a lot of recoil.

Even if they're right that opposing views equal conspiracy theories they are actually intelligent enough to know that one of the most effective ways of cementing a conspiracy theory-type belief is to oppose it, yet they do it anyway in the most clumsy way. You were measuring off of results I would assume their intention is to create greater conspiracy belief. But I suspect it's a lot simpler than that they're really condescending and they don't have the impulse control within their structure. They have monoculture and they can't help themselves.

  628. Nah. Lots of them are good, and most things on a subie are overbuilt and easy to service compared to the other Japanese brands. Really, you look for the few bad issues that you can't easily parts swap your way out of. If it doesn't have those, the other chores are easy. i.e. changing worn suspension, brakes, CV axles, etc. are way easiser on a subie, and inexpensive. Stuff to do with blown heads, or worn rings are going to be extra hard, and not what you want to mess with.

And you have guidance from generations of your most senior bishops all agreeing consistently until they didn't.

  636. I knew about the Silah report, from following Miles a year or two ago. Hearing that Hirachaya is involved makes me a LOT less interested. He is the face of TFB losing credibility after the take over by the marketing company. If I get suckered into reading a clickbait article which says nothing and ends with "what do you think? Comment below" I expect to see Hirachaya H. below it. Also his articles consistently either get basic firearms info wrong, or express surprise and amazement at standard features. I liked Mile's content on the arsenal, and the linguistic stuff, but now I wonder how trustworthy the Silah report can be with the other guy on the masthead.

  639.  @bill8791  I study both both. The vickers gun was a derivative of the maxim gun, which had input from most every european power, notably a lot of scandanavian techs, and Belgian, and was primarily invented and developed by Hiram Maxim, and American. Much of the development of the version that became dominant happened while it was Maxim-Nordenfelt. The gun in the video was manufactured by an American company. To call that specifically a British gun, requires willful blindness, and selective notice of facts. So, ~"read more' is not much of a mic-drop win for your position.

  643. At 47:00 Jordan Peterson presents himself as a Bible expert but nearly every time I see him discuss the Bible he gets the details wrong. There's nothing in the gospel about Christ traveling in a cart. And The parable is generally known as the parable of the Rich Young Ruler. I like a lot of what Peterson does but he almost always mischaracterizes what the Bible says. He will abstract it to huge level of generalization, and then zoom back in to the specific. And it ends up meaning what Jordan thinks but not what it actually said in specific or in context. It's always archetypical of " the door is red because the author is angry." type literature analysis.

A lot of RC planes with explosives on them for that kind of money. A lot of quadrotors for that kind of money. Yes you could train soldiers less but they're not going to.

  654. They probably also got you a very low wattage stove/ oven. many of the crummy ones that you see in apartments don't really change via stat or something like that. Rather they're doing some kind of pulse modulation as near as I can tell. The stove in my present apartment kind of surges on and off rather than holding a steady temperature when you have it on a medium setting. This makes it really easy to burn something unless you have a thick pan to even out the surges. This seems to be common for crappy apartment stoves.

  666. The answer in the short run was no. Lathes tended to have gear sets based on fractions. Europe was easy to convert all at once, because all their stuff was either: Old and crappy, blown up, new but worn out from war. Just clear the slate and start over all at once. North America had just built a ton of tooling for the war, and was trying to pay off the cost of the war without scrapping all the perfectly good tooling and infrastructure they just put in. I mean a lot of industry here really only stopped using WWII surplus fabrication and tooling when CNC took over from manual machining. In the case of those, the unit conversion is simply a toggle in your drafting program, and maybe which collet holds your tool.

Modern CNC, and the majority of robotics are pretty much impossible without stepper motors.

  680. It can't be built in a way that meets even the most basic claims about what it should do. In energy terms the claim is ~that we can waste $100 to save $20. Yes you can make a vacuum tube at absurd expense. Yes you could make a train with airlocks. No the modest savings of friction would not come even close to matching the energy costs of keeping a presently unfeasible vacuum. It fails on the napkin level calculations about the basic idea. It can't be low energy, because it is assuming the most energy costly aspects are a given and doesn't even discuss them. It's a scam for publicity and maybe funding.

  688. Most people don't reasonably expect to train for "All rifles". They train to use their own guns. It is reasonable to be able to be proficient with a few different styles without difficulty too. I find the rationale you stated frustrating, because it means one should never improve anything. Every rifle should have the same clumsy charging handle and bolt hold open as the AR15, and every pistol should have a single sided browning style mag release rather than the clever euro trigger guard mag release. No innovation allowed, because it might take you a fraction of a second to learn the difference if you borrow (or scavenge) a gun later for some reason.

  689. Not in the sense they are talking about though. He's referring to the era of manufacture when making a single gun took a mile long wearhouse, and each piece of the gun took a line of 20-30 single operation dedicated shapers pushing form tools over custom fixtures. The little ejector in a p08 might have taken 20 dedicated machines to produce. This is a very long sight from putting a VFD and a DRO on a bridgeport.

  693.  @soapmaker2263  The history of it is pretty interesting. It's a little bit like horse butts to railroad gauge equals modern cars and the size of the rocket nozzles on the shuttle. 9mm Luger was an automatic cartridge designed to replicate the 36 cal Colt Navy. If you've seen ballistic testing of the black powder revolvers with a full load, it's almost identical in performance to 9mm Nato ball in ballistic gel. More or less the same diameter at the same energy level. Luger was adapting the Borshart pistol to an improved version, with the german navy as the first serious anticipated customer. (Oversimplified history, but more or less). So it's got a navy client, and it is an automatic replacement for the Navy caliber. Based on the 30 mauser cartridge IIRC.

It was gracious of Mr. Peterson not to call him out on that nonsense. If anything he was always a novelty and a professional troll. Not that a professional troll is anything wrong, but he's far from the only one. Crowder is that, but consistently funnier. Shapiro is funny, but it's more like a Dennis Miller style of humor. Snide blunt and snappy. I do think Y. is right that the fix for a shunning is always to publicly keep the shunee in the spotlight, and simply ignore the heckler veto. I also think he has a point about the prestige economy, but it's obvious that he really does crave attention and wants the prestige of being an iconoclast, or rather a popular iconoclast.

Romans 14 beats the point into the ground that we ought to carefully resolve the debatable issues privately, keep our thoughts to ourselves and be unified. I don't think this whole thing you are doing is helpful or particularly godly. I do read catholics, and various others. GK Chesty was a great writer and philosopher- but he was sadly wrong about economics. I still love the Napoleon of Notting Hill. Charles Manly Hopkins wrote one of the finest articulations of Christian Liberty. "Dedication and Leadership" by Douglas Hyde is another incredibly useful work by a catholic. These men are my brothers and they are flawed. We don't go to the same denomination, but we serve the same master. Why are you so focused on criticizing your master's other servants?

  704. They are. But they also know that the bubble is starting to taper off and that if they are paying overtime to make something that they will sell it basically normal retail prices by the time it's ready to sell they're going to take a loss on it. So they taper up before a bubble is anticipated work at peak that isn't going to hurt their long-term reputation for reduced quality, then taper down hopefully just before the bubble does. And if they're smart they keep reserve cash on hand to buy out useful competition just after the competition over produces too long and gets bit by the bubble popping.

  705. I think it's because most people have been countered enough people who go down that rabbit hole and don't come up. Once you start engaging conspiratorial style thinking you stop looking for evidence and you start looking for evidence of disagreement. You literally becoming capable of reasoning well, and disagreement implies that they are part of it. I say this having very very intelligent friends who went down that track and eventually killed themself, or ruined all of their relationships. It's kind of like hard drugs, small doses at first doesn't look like that big a deal sure you know somebody who gets away with it.... But it is addictive and once you're addicted it just seems normal.

  706.  @granthoover9045  I got into 300 black because it is literally cheaper for me to train with than 556. I've had it quite a few years, and it always has been. It's a matter of how you buy ammo and when. I think it is perfectly reasonable to buy a lot of ammo when you can and it's cheap. Typically this enables me to share a lot of ammo. There's nothing I could do that could prevent people from hoarding when it is vscarce and from over paying. In general more consumption will equal more production and I think you are wrong to blame other people for buying what they want to buy. The other thing about people buying when ammo prices are low is it keeps the factories in business and producing. Or total ammo is made market prices stay lower because of economy of scale. This means there is more ammo to go around even during a crunch. So literally they are helping the situation you are complaining about from two sides One the people who buy up when market demand is low aren't buying when it's high so they aren't taking ammo out of the market, 2 they're keeping manufacturing capacity up, 3 They are often sharing. As for 300 black itself. I can't remember a time when 308 Winchester was cheaper than 300 blackout. A lot of the time it's similarly priced to other comparable calibers. But it's always cheaper for reloaders. If all you want is a cheap planker and you're not going to reload there are other calibers that make more sense such as for instance 762x39 or 22LR depending on what kind of thing you want to do. Or 9 mm for that matter. It's pretty irrational to get angry at somebody for wanting a different thing than you want. Training looks different for different people and for different purposes. 300 blackout does what I want to do. It's versatile low recoil and works really well out of a small package. Anything niche is necessarily more expensive than anything popular just because economy of scale is a thing. But I am not a millionaire. I'm on the tightest of budgets and your assumption that only rich people can afford 300 black without being irresponsible is just straight up wrong. I shoot 300 black because number one it does what I want to do and number two it does it very affordably. It's been 11 cents a shot for subsonics and 14 cents a shot for supers for the last several years for me. Both of those are currently about $0.03 more as I replace my materials. Those numbers are bigger for other calibers. This would be a dumb time for me to hoard commercial 300 black but that's also true for all the other calibers. The degree of how foolish it would be varies. Bottom line I feel like you are yelling about how gravity is unfair. Market pressures exist. They are unavoidable. It is pointless to resent people who have the opportunity to by what they want when it makes sense to buy. Resenting them in no way can change availability of what you want for the better. Every system has a knowledge gap. New people invariably overpay until they know what that system is. People who shoot a lot have specialized knowledge. And that knowledge allows them to understand that it makes sense to buy at sometimes rather than others. There are also people who prioritize things other than buying ammo all the time. That's fine too. I don't want government subsidized ammo. That is never made things cheaper for everybody long term or increased freedom.

  711. No I heard that phrase used well before internet was a popular thing. it's a product of people looking up to the military a lot. So when in the '90s military became popularly in honorable profession again in the popular mindset, then there was more desire to do that. It's also not very relevant in a long period between conflicts since if you haven't had a war in 30 years no 30-year-old could plausibly pretend to be a hero...

  713. honestly I think most of the real stolen valor in the world is people who technically served in the military but didn't do anything which could be described as valor. and then they spend the rest of their life harping on about their military service and why that makes them a super citizen. in my life I may be met a couple of guys who acted like they had been in the military but weren't. They were easily recognizable as semi-compulsive liars. I love wearing military peacoats because they're really nice coats I've had one or two people act like I was somehow pretending to be military for having a 1950s wool air Force jacket with no insignia on it. I thought they were pretty retarded. I use other military kit if it's good kit I have an old army rucksack that I use in the woods sometimes, and some old style insulated leather army boots that I wear when it's snowy. But I've never wanted to be military and I don't really understand why somebody would fake it, but not just join up.

  719.  @onemoremisfit  That is unfortunate. I love them, and I know a lot of Team Blue fanatics who use them. I know that there are now several versions of the FCD. Some are not activated by the shell plate, some don't have the carbide ring. Most of them are determined by the attributes of the cartridge, but I'm pretty sure there are calibers that offer more than one style of FCD. It would be worth looking into for sure. Also, they are only about $15 less than getting a 4 die set, so I would just do that. I like hornady's seater dies a lot, and IMO the best set you can make is a mix and match. Lee carbide decapper/sizer is near perfect. Hornady's floating rifle seater dies are a nice step between universal and match dies. FCD is the ideal finish.What's in between is best determined by what powder measure setup you like.

  721. Thanks Ian. A question I have had about these is this: Since the barrel radiator expansion binding with the jacket is an obvious problem, why not simply shave 20 thou off of the radiator? It would be a 10 minute fix to take the barrel/radiator out and chuck them in a lathe. Even a in a trench armorer's shop, a few minutes with two guys and emery cloth could add a bit of clearance... This is what would be done as a quick fix for a binding steam piston or pump part. It's normal industrial practice for feild expedient repairs. Was the tight clearance needed for some kind of braking similar to the function of the bronze collars used in browning auto 5 variants? It seems like such an obvious solution, that I think there must be a reason I am overlooking that it wasn't employed.

Ultimately Brazil ended up with the ship. It's kind of funny but the Turks spent a ton of money on luxury fittings for the officer's sections, which the Brits spent even more obscene amounts removing. They also took out stuff like water taps at the heads, because turks wash their butts and Brits didn't wash anything.... Dark times. There's also a great book called "Arms of Krupp" that covers the german side of the battleship arms race, etc. There really was a back and forth between Krupp and Armstrong's.

  726. I had put a separate comment elsewhere but it's not being noticed. I grew up working at a commercial fishing boat and did a lot of shooting from a boat. One of the things that is completely different about Marine shooting from Landis that most land shooting is based on getting a stable, waiting for respiratory pause etc. None of that works for shooting from a boat. Instead is much more like when you shooting with a shotgun. He visualize your sight picture and essentially do a slow motion version of the swing through the target technique. As soon as you see developed sight picture you visualize you snap off a shot. I think a stage that would force people to learn that skill would be to have a floating dock with waves or and possibly a wave generator. It could be that a wobbly dock that you have to run down will make enough of its own waves. If people want the target could be unsure or it could be floating out on the water.

The company's learned that if they build up staffing and equipment for a bubble they get caught out on the side of the bubble and have to fire a bunch of people and lose a bunch of makes sense for them to ramp up production and do OT, but to be pretty ruthless about recognizing the end of the bubble and stopping production promptly at the end of it. The blunt factors this is all a good thing. The public is becoming more and more firearms conscious and trains more and plays more. Each bubble moves new people into becoming gun people and more gun people into becoming serious gun people. This particular bubble is largely occurring in California and is dragging the country along with. I think it is good to see you normally love learning people start taking civil liberties seriously. Individual rights and collective rights are inherently contradictory. this is a good step in the direction of the recognizing the individual rights are the only real ones.

  739.  @amyself6678  nope. 1) 12(b)(6). 2) basically all the local court rules specify format and page limits. Usually allowing longer pleadings by motion. 3) while code pleading is not required, generally either the state supreme or the bar publish model pleading forms. These are top google hits. 4) at least for my state, (Wa) statutes for pleadings generally list requirements. Clerks can't file without basic components. 5) further most causes of action have specific requirements for information related to elements spelling out in the statue. There is a corresponding section which lists remedies. in short: without the rigidity of code pleading most states block filing of disorganized gibberish. If a pro se litigant can organize well enough to file, but lacks the elements of the cause of action, then you can dismiss at little expense.

  742. One of the other commentators give a fairly complete answer. I would add to it that most of the flavor notes I like come off early. some of the compounds and coffee particularly the acids are water soluble and come out and higher levels with the longer soak. others are oils which are basically heated to the point that they become runny enough to fall out. The oils tend to have the flavors I like more as well as small particulate. The longer you let it soak the more acidic and sour it gets. There are bitter notes in the early and the long soak components so bitter is semi-independent from time. But sour is definitely a positive correlation to time soaking.

  743. @J O I think obvious truths are obvious regardless of whether you've been in the circumstance. Have I had guns pointed at me?Yes. Have I been threatened with deadly force Yes. Have I had all of those things happen at the same time ?no. Can I recognize that these officers did a poor to mediocre job and basically got lucky? Yes. Is that the same as saying I am better than them and would have performed better than they did in the situation? No it isn't. But I would sure want to. It is impossible to learn unless you can say this is better than that. The only way we can learn and train and become better is to recognize when something is done less than perfectly. This particular video shows things being done rather poorly but it worked out okay. If you happen to look on my channel you will see where I confronted two thieves and played out the game plan that I had rehearsed physically and mentally for a variety of circumstances. I got some things working out in my favor that I had not planned on and I know incorporate those into future plans. I also took a couple of risks that I would not take later. Were you in my circumstance?no. Does that mean you couldn't have some valid input about what I could do better? Of course not. You could have valid feedback. I will grant that something like 98% of the comments I get on that video are people talking about how they would have gone full Rambo and throat kicked everybody and then shot them or whatever. So the presence of stupid Monday morning quarterbacking is real but it does not invalidate legitimate criticism of poor choices.

It really doesn't need a turbo, but I must admit building a second bike with a turbo appeals. Mostly because of the lovely noises they make. Most of the people who do it borrow oil pans and oil coolers from the 750 GPZ Turbo, because mechanically they are built off of the same engine and trans. The other thing is that the 650 is a 5 speed whereas if you steal 750 gears, you get a 6th gear in the same trans. That's what the bike really wants for freeway.

  767. I've never had a gripe against them I like them for work lights and I like some LEDs for that purpose. Both are less inclined to be damaged by shock than an incandescent. Generally speaking they put out more brightness per wattage and per heat which is nice. My perception and I'm not sure this is correct is the LEDs are safer around volatile fumes. But perhaps the little transformation pack that converts the electrical signal is a spark hazard... My complaint is actually the new formats of the double prong locking light fixtures which are used in many apartments. The design is to force you to not use incorrect bulbs. So far so good. The problem is they're based around this stupid wattage equivalence theory. Like each of these things is supposedly equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent. And they aren't. but worse they are forcing you to use something that isn't as good as the Volvo you didn't want to use because it wasn't good enough in the first place. I don't want to replace a 60 watt or 40 watt bulb to be the one of two light bulbs in my bedroom or living room. I want something that's approximately equivalent to 160 watt incandescent bulb in actual light output. So to make a standard based on forcing me to use a 14 watt CFL or a 14 watt LED to replace a 40 watt bulb that should have been 160 watt bulb is madness. They wanted me to use more efficient lighting, great. I want that too. I just happened to want brighter nice color temperature more efficient lighting. That is well within our technology. I don't want a 14 watt LED I want approximately a 40 watt LED.

  770.  @ronmears5621  I really dispute that. For land, sure. For other stuff, no way. We can buy semi automatic rifles for $400, that are a heck of a lot more rifle than what was available in 1930. Sure there was post war surplus cheap for a while, but we are still paying taxes to cover the expense of that. I can spend a month's wage on a car with stereo and air conditioning, that would probably last 5 years, and need nothing more than tires oil and spark plugs. Your grandfather couldn't buy a new car that would go more than a year without needing an overhaul.

  776. Depends on the AR, and the ammo, and the sighting system......... With a decent scope, ~650 ish is not hard to hit a target if you are okay to miss a few times and get a feel for it. For combat, effective range tends to be about 400, due to people are hard to see when they don't want to die, and no one shoots well with adrenaline, and government ammo is crappy.

  778. You're basically describing mid 2000 era paintball gun technology. most of them had optical or pressure sensors which would not allow the bolt to move forward until ammunition was detected fully in breach. This prevented the previously common problem of chopped paint. Then feed systems also got optical or bend sensors to detect gaps and essentially preschool up feed pressure. The latest real innovation that I'm aware of is that now you can Bluetooth sync your feed system to your gun. What that means is even as the gun is firing it's first shot the feed system is already spooling up. This reduces lag for high volume fire. The breach sensor prevents jams but it can create lag.
    2
  779. It was broke. The original AR charging handle was a trigger shaped spur on the top. It got too hot to touch, so the rear charging handle solved that problem. Ian has covered that. Too hot to touch is a bigger deal than the occasional "need" for a forward assist. I don't love the rear charging handle, but these are just the facts of the case.

  784. Yes but we could have something much more like a semi-rimmed cartridge. Also it is possible to standardize the crimp. And there's not really any reason why the way to seal the end of a shotgun shell has to be folding in the sidewalls. I think the 1950s or 60s Winchester experiment at 14 gauge really shows you what a shotgun shell ought to look like. And there's really no reason those couldn't be made out of plastic.

  785.  @dansanger5340  That to me is no different than a judge misjudging a case due to his own bias. No retraction is necessary because, like I said, jury nullification is the law at the top level. it is part of the constitutional framework of checks and balances. That does not mean it cannot be misused. Like the second amendment, jury nullification is about the citizens themselves interrupting government action they disagree with. of course they can misuse that. They can also misuse their votes. That does not make their votes any less the law either. In the same way a congressman can pass a law that violates the Constitution which is of course the higher law it has happened many times. And just like this discussion, at each occasion that that happens people will argue about which law should be obeyed and imply that the opinions of the people who come to a different conclusion than their own are unlawful. There is an entire body of law practice called conflict of laws for a reason. No mechanism or particular rule can separate us from the fact that ultimately whatever decision is being made is made by a human or group of humans. However perfect you may make a law somebody always has the option of misunderstanding it or willfully misapplying it.

Obviously if you are scripting 4-5 at a time, changing the plan for the next episode would only work at the break between batches)  Keep up the good work.  p.s. i've been watching some of your sister projects and this one is a lot better. The other's aren't bad, but they sometimes carry the feeling that the presenter/writers don't know the topic intimately, and are just relaying ideas that are new to them. It's now awful, but little bits of incongruity here and there break the credibility in some of the other projects. For instance not having a "weapons guy" when you are discussing weapons in some of the china and pirate series led to several of these moments. Having C&Rsenal for this project is a much better method. (As is having a WWi buff talk about WWI, and pronounce most of the places right.)

  806. I would really love to have a modern stocked pistol. The blowback carbines have a few detractions: 1) blowbacks have a wierd recoil impulse. They tend to have a 1.5 lb bolt due to the mass required to run with a reasonable spring rate. This is often harsher than a proper rifle. 2) blowbacks are necessarily heavy and bulky which ofsets the advantages of a pistol caliber. 3) They usually arent' rated for +P ammo, which would mitigate the weaknesses of pistol cartridges. That includes most of the anti vest ammo that makes sense in a PDW role. 4) they only work in big format. No handy pistol, that can be stocked. This kills their utility as a lightweight backpackable survival tool. i.e. A bush pilot's crash kit foraging tool. A light locked breach poly pistol with a skeletal plastic stock would maybe weigh under 3 lbs and could handle 10mm or hot 9mm ammo.

  811. Todd Gillespie One of the big lessons of WWI and the period right before it was the battleship arms race. In a way this delayed the development of tanks, actually. They learned that it was much easier and less costly in cash and resources to make a more powerful gun than thicker armor. You could bankrupt yourself making a thick shield for a ship, and they could spend maybe a 20th of the cost to make a gun 10% more powerful than necessary to penetrate it. Rifles and machine guns were optimized in power for penetrating people. However, it would not have been much more work to give them significantly more penetrating power.

  812. No Free Will Citations granted: Personal experience with weaker modern firearms penetrating mild steel >.5 inches. General well known industry standards of what targets will hold up to what calibers....  Discussion in "The Arms of Krupp" about steel of the day... A recent InRangeTV demo with a reproduction WWI German piece of armor vs Allied rifles of the era. ~ it came out about 1.5-2.5 months back if you want to look for it.
    1
  813. No Free Will Oops. I thought you were asking about an earlier proposition. Citations for the Armor vs ship gun arms race: The Great Dreadnought by Richard Hough  1966-67 Harper &Row. The Arms of Krupp by William Manchester. Both excellent books. The latter deals with the entire length of Krupp works which was the primary german arms manufacturer from medieval times through WWII. By necessity it also covers a lot of the competing arms from it's primary rival, Armstrong's of Britain. Both deal extensively with the issue. 
    1
  814. No Free Will That is how the arms race goes. New armor > existing guns. New guns >>>>>>> existing armor. Cost of new armor > GDP of owners... Cost of new guns to defeat that armor = comparatively small. So a new ship that might literally bankrupt a state to build will have armor that is unlikely to last two years before it is obsolete. What happened in the battle there was a new ship went against older ships which had older guns.
    1
  815. Iono Sama Exactly. It was mostly there for glancing shots, spent bullets, and shrapnel.
    1
  816. Iono Sama What happened is that the admiralty of all sides were afraid to risk their tremendously costly new super ships, so those stayed close to safe havens so there was never a risk of facing a ship with guns equal to her armor. Mostly the threat of new guns kept New-ish ships at home. Naval engagements mostly only happened by accident or with ships that were already obsolete, which the nations could 'afford' to lose. Thus there are almost never examples in war of Red team's best vs Blue team's best. Instead you see Red team's medium 5 year old ship vs Blue team's 12 year old out classed ship that got surprised.

  817. Well done. I think Mr. Lloyd gets a little defensive about blighty and let's that cloud his otherwise solid judgement from time to time. I liked his video overall, but a few of his points were weak. I've noticed that he consistently gets on shaky ground when talking about firearms. 3rd hand knowledge and all that. He validly rebuts that first hand accounts and extensive research give him some ground to talk, and that simply firing a gun doesn't make one an expert. However frequent use of many firearms, particularly in mobile settings as in practical shooting give a very different perspective from handling them in a static setting. Power of the cartridge, RPM, mass of the gun and a dozen intangeables make a big difference in how easy it is to get and keep a gun on target. Open bolt guns all kind of suck for precise aimed fire. The moving mass of the action and locktime interfere with careful aim.

Thus, there has to be a clear point at which a state recognizes a marriage and when it does not.

  826. Re the discussion at the 18 minute mark on suppressor design. Ian's premise that given a fixed volume, concentric is capable of being quiter is true. I think it misses the thinking behind the offset designs. As he said, they don't disturb the profile of the gun or the sights as much and look distinctive. However the main design advantage is being able to add more volume than one could get away with in a concentric design before the drawbacks of volume increase. It's like free volume out of your sight line. So which apples to apples? Most sound reduction per constant volume, or Most sound reduction before the sight picture and length get stupid.

  839. The QC has improved, and there is no longer any ties to Robinson arms. I think they are about as nice an AK format weapon as you can get, but there are a few on par. I'd also be happy with some cheaper ones too. (Which often makes me the devil's advocate as a moderator on the vepr forum.) BTW Currently the Vepr12 is selling in the nicest configuration for about $400 less than it should. $699 w/ folding stock (tacked open).  I expect the market to correct soon on that. I am a Saiga 12 fan, but right now it would be silly to buy an S12 when a V12 with all the options ticked is within $200. If you are interested in a fully modern shotgun, I don't see a better choice, and I doubt that deal will last. It is exciting to see how many decent mag fed shotgun models are cropping up. (A handful of poor ones too.) I know you are a fan of innovation, and these developments are long overdue. There are presently 4-5 brands available for sale that are better than the USAS 12 and the silly AA12 for under $1100. Bozor BR99, Adkal 1919, (and fully metal firebird clone), Saiga 12 and variants, Vepr 12, Catamount Fury (not as good quality), and possible import of a Norinco related product called the Jianshe Annihilator. Soon, I won't have to use your videos to prove my S12 isn't an "illegal streetsweeper."

  844. @49:29 Ian, you shouldn't repeat this common fallacy. 40 S&W is MORE potent than 45 ACP, not less. .40 S&W is 350- 500 ft lbs ( 470 -680 J ) whereas 45 ACP is "only" in the 480-550 ft lb range for standard pressure. + P 45 acp is hotter, being in the 600-650s. I think it is a more correct statement to describe 40 as being a more compact bullet designed to do equal or greater than standard 45 ACP, than as a compromise between 45 acp and 9mm luger. It's 10 mm reduced to approximately hot 45 specs. I'm no apologist for either caliber, just for facts.

  867. +Forgotten Weapons Ian. I am a big fan of how you frequently dispel common misconceptions. One I would like you to help with by not perpetuating is "High Brass" used as an equivalent for high power. We both know they have had almost no relation to the cycling energy present in a shell. Instead try "Powerful" "high energy"... The SPAS users may be disappointing to learn that a lot of "tactical" or "LE" marked ammo with high brass on it won't cycle the gun because it has less muzzle energy than the standard 3 dr eq trap load (1 1/8 oz of ejecta at 1200 FPS) for example common 9 pellet OOBuck Tactical stuff is 1 1/8 oz at 1145 FPS. This is considerably weaker than a common trap load and users of semi auto shotguns often are frustrated to learn that the high brass dollar-a-shot military grade buckshot they bought won't cycle, but the $20/100 cheap birdshot trap loads they bought at walmart will. It sucks a lot when you just bought a new gun and a flat of ammo at a dollar each that won't run.

Perhaps you could calculate the cycle time from this video, but basically assume a person with a quick trigger finger can pull 8-9 times a second. Average is 5-6. If the gun takes longer than 0.125 or so seconds, a person can probably out run it. Handling recoil is another matter.

  883. and 11 months a[[roval time, restrictions in various states. Requirements to travel with papers, a good trust if you have even a modicum of sense.... NFA is more than just a few hundred dollars. As for range? There are plenty of pistols that can be accurate to 150 M plus if you can hold them steady. A rifle stock does that. Quite a few people use scoped pistols with bipods, etc for hunting in those ranges for big game even. It all depends on the pistol and caliber choice. IMO, you don't need that much range for the bailout survival gun application. I'd like to see something like that made for the FH FiveSeven. It would be plenty powerful enough for a foraging tool, and is very weight and space efficient. Accurate? Plenty. Fairly quiet too, with a can. There's the kit I would make for pilots. Plastic holster that doubles as a stock, which also holds a lightweight TI suppressor. 3-4 magazines would be plenty of ammo too. All in about the space of a cigar box. No this would not be the ideal bear gun, or first choice for a firefight... But i'd rather have 21 shots of 5.7 than a break action single shot .308, if people were shooting at me from moderate range.

  884. Skip the .22 stuff. The weight of the conversion kit would match a couple mags of 9mm. 147 grain 9mm would do the colibri job with the can, and still work for other chores. Also, I think they could dovetail the backstrap rather than use a wraparound.- Like the High powers, etc.

  885. They will keep the M9. Every other week one guy in some branch says they want something new, and the people who don't like whatever we have at the moment act as if that is the final word. The blunt facts are: the government owns a lot of m9s, it would cost a lot of money to replace them, and they work fine. any real problems they have ever had were solved by new mags and a new locking block. Yes modern guns are lighter, and I do think .40 would be a better choice for silly hague compliance, but the military has more cons than pros for a drastic change. Big institutions always move slowly.

The more I try to make my videos look good, and be audible, the more appreciative I am when other people make it work.  I shot a video with the light behind me using my laptop just to show a friend an issue with his gun, and it got noticed by a forum and I had a bunch of brand fans watch the video  that I didn't even try to get right.... I put a bunch of work into a tutorial and maybe 20 people watch it. Casually shoot a video for a friend in my pajamas at 1 am, and it gets all my traffic. Half the comments are to the effect that the brand can do no wrong, and the other half are gripes about the lighting. I think Alanis Morisette wrote a song about that.

  916. I'm not a leftist. As a righty, I think they put charging handles on the wrong side on half the guns designed prior to about 1980. They think I should break firing grip to do every operation. I want ambi, and I left side non reciprocating charging handles, bolt releases, etc.

  917. That's terrible. I need one.

  918. Thanks. I forgot to mention that each of the 3 guns I mentioned has been sold new for under $1000 in the last year, and weighs aroudn 7.5 lbs (before mall ninjas kit them out anyway), so by Money you could have aproximately 11-15 of them for the cost of 1 AA 12 depending on model and configuration, or two by weight. People go off on AA12's recoil system, but those 3 are also known for manageable recoil, especially with a compensator. Something tells me you could make any of them even softer shooting if you duct taped on 8 ish pounds balanced around the grip. (Although the long stroke recoil system is a good idea, and one that has been used on a few factor "Works" model Vepr 12s, without having to sacrifice rate of fire or double the weight.)

  943. I think a big trend that people really overlook in this is housing. More and more cities and City planning pushes people into high-density apartments. For many of those you can't even plan on having the same parking everyday, let alone having a dedicated charging station in a secure location that people won't steal from or vandalize. This means electric cars are simply not for a substantial number of urban dwellers. Germany country dwellers they currently are not durable enough and don't have the range. Simply put electric cars make sense for somebody who has a house with a garage, AND enough money up front to pay for the increased cost of the car and its charging system. That's a pretty small section of society.

  947.  @muddyhotdog4103  yeah but I think the thing they were talking about was the idea of getting a reproduction not just the actual. It's sort of the evaporator 308 problem to me. Most people that seem interested in it that I've talked to have a vague idea that they would use it for stretching further than they would do with their 762x39. And then they realize oh yeah I have upper 308 is very expensive kind of hard to find mags for and well it just has a lot of jostling. All of that stuff gets in the way of it being good for 600 yd plus. The same kind of would apply for an AR-180 based 308. Right now there's sort of two groups of people who want to 308 semi-auto. One wants something on the order of a more powerful battle rifle. The other ones precision long range. The people who actually want and will buy the more powerful battle rifle are a smaller group than the precision long range and they are also a stingier group. so if you want to make something for low volume you kind of have to go for the premium group to make money. More moving parts off access just aren't great for that premium precision group.

  951. Side note. I wish I could put like a thousand likes on this. I'm into weird firearms. Also motorcycles cars etc. The "why u rune classic?" Mentality has really hit peak in the firearms culture right now. I think that's partially because the cost of entry into collecting particularly military antiques is substantially lower than cars. You can pick up interesting stuff between $300 and $4, 000. And you can fit like 30 of them in a normal apartment closet in some crappy city. That means pretty much everybody can do it at least in some level. That means everybody has an opinion. And they find the customs The equivalence of the chopper hot rod from the '50s and they lament the sum jerk sporterized a classic military rifle. By which they mean some person lovingly customized a rifle that would have gone to the scrap pile that he bought for $12 in 1955, and then used it. It exists because there was a market to do exactly what he did otherwise it would have been scrapped. Also in case of a lot of those they were like two to 10 million of them. Well I can appreciate the perfect original, and occasionally cringe at a really hacked up custom, I definitely appreciate a weird custom or a very skilled and nicely fitted custom. in my opinion it's very liberating to really own a thing and void the warranty and make it what you want it to be not what some engineer and some accountant and some marketing guy agreed that they could sell to an average person 200,000 times. void those warranties. Make unique things.

  952. Classy as always Destin. I wish people were as tactful and considerate in the other direction, but I haven't seen it. Despite my channel name, in person, I have put a lot of effort over the years into carefully and respectfully discoursing with people who vilify weapons and their owners. I've won quite a few over via incremental positive experiences, and accurately repeating their ideas and talking points, then following them logically through to conclusion. Have you considered why you felt it necessary to put a disclaimer in that you aren't into glorifying weapons, but not that you aren't into vilifying them? My bet is that you are a lot more likely to experience attack for glorifying them than you are for presenting them in a neutral to slightly negative. Obviously if you gave a pronounced negative, you would get the people on the pole of the spectrum who would react to that.

The blatant contradiction he identifies is assuming that this gender theory is true at some point the claim that somebody always was a particular gender and then suddenly became another one of those statements must be wrong. It is literally impossible for someone to be a gay woman and then later to have always been a man. Those statements are contradictory. You know this is true. Either gender and sex are the same thing or they aren't. Either gender is an immutable trait that you cannot change or it is a trait that you can change. either gender is a something that you can change by choice or it is not. having it both ways on any of those questions is intellectually dishonest.

  984. Interestingly though most of the people who have Draco's aren't going through the kind of round counts the most people have SBR AR derivatives. Also problem with some of those Draco's was the tumbling and yelling at the muzzle rather than at impact. I do like the shorty AKs though. Or anything with a folder. Out of a short barrel 762x39 is superior. 300 blackout is pretty close to the same thing but it's a little more versatile in terms of what's actually on the market. That's the thing that's funny to me about all of these debates is like who cares what the military is carrying? I am not hempered by their purchasing bureaucracy. It would never be a choice for me between a shorty AK and 762x39 and a shorty AR in 556. And be choice between a shorty AK and 762x39 and a shorty AR in 300 blackout. I'm in that case I'm pretty much going to go with the latter every time.

  990. You are welcome. I think on paper it is better, but most weapons in practice are generally one thing with the unlikely option of the other. i.e. continuous fire vs intermittent burst/aimed single shots. A shoulder fired rifle is unlikely to maintain the fire rate at which cook-off becomes a serious concern. It has happened, but that basically means one guy is firing continuously while another guy is handing him mags and switching as fast as possible. Even the time required to fish a mag from your pouch is enough to allow a barrel to cool enough to avoid that. Since this is the case, there hasn't been a lot of motive to add complexity to guns that are working fine as they are currently used.

  992. "Conversion" is just the common law term for theft of property, in a civil action rather than criminal.
    1
  993.  @kevinshort3943  the difference between civil and criminal isn't always the type of the thing that was done. The difference is who is bringing the action. Civil is from one person to another. Criminal is only the government vs citizen. so the prosecutor might charge you with a DUI for drunk driving. but the person who you hit with your car will sue you in a civil action for the damages resulting from your DUI. Conversion is a easier thing to prove than criminal theft, and is frequently part of another civil action. So say maybe a dispute about grandmas estate. Somebody could bring a civil action claiming that the trustee mishandled the distribution of the estate. If the trustee also took stuff home that would also be conversion. You could bring that action whether or not the prosecutor charged the trustee with criminal theft.

  998. As a huge fan of box fed shotguns, it is a shame that these never really were available in the US market to the public. I think they could stand to be lightened and I could care less about the pump feature. IMO those features would have fallen out of favor after they proved reliable in the public, and the gun would have lightened. This is roughly speaking the gun that the Adkal wants to be. It could also stand to have a couple gas settings.

  1000. I don't know I think it's pretty simple but of course that's mere speculation /what every ignorant person says. In my mind the main reason Colt wouldn't have followed through with this is it's recognizably their competitor's technology knocked off. Any gun guy who looks at that would say it's a Beretta. Colt spent the last 20 years of their meaningful existence in the handgun market making fun of Beretta as the wimpy inferior replacement for cult. If their next gun on the market is very obviously a knockoff of a Beretta it undermines their entire brand at that point. It's that same reason Harley can't make a modern decent motorcycle. they've spent the last 40 years telling us that modern technology isn't as manly as sad ergonomics and underpowered loud motors. Anytime they hint at making a motorcycle with decent performance and a modern engine and suspension layout they are having to admit that they were wrong the whole time.

  1007. There is a hack to this though. one of the things you learn when you do a lot of collage and hang around with a lot of people who do, is that they are selling a product and the initial sales pitch is almost always negotiable. they will say "these credits don't transfer "and you say yeah but I'm not joining your program unless they transfer. And they say fine and then they pester you back. And then you go meet with the professor who's head of that program and say 'waive me in without those credits and oh also can you sign a thing saying these credits will transfer" and if you've sat through a couple classes and basically tracked with the class he'll sign off on it. Test out of everything you already know on a clep test. Transfer the rest. they will do it if you force the issue because they want your money. you are the customer and they are selling a service that they have the cost already sunk into whether or not you're there to buy it. When you realize that you get a whole lot more bargaining power. I wish I had known this at the beginning of my many years of education.

  1020.  @bumbleWeaver  I don't think it's inevitable that Google maintains monopoly. The thing that reminds me of the most is Yahoo's near Monopoly circa year 2000.All the talk was about how Yahoo was dominating the search engine business and all the other engines were dying or being bought by Yahoo. And then within a year or so then being the top of the heap they stopped giving you the results you search for and started giving you the results they wanted you to get and it became frustrating and obvious. then basically sites like metacrawler and Google started to get prominence because they gave you basically what you searched for. Not perfectly but more than not. I think 20/20 Google basically equals 2,000 Yahoo. Sure there is a threshold that takes people to change their behavior. But I think Google is rapidly approaching that frustration threshold Right now I'm on the outlier end of the curve where I've crossed it for most purposes. I still use plenty of Google products cuz how can you not, but anything that I can get close to as good of results as I want to from another source I've set it in defaults from other sources. No I'm somebody who went out of my way to do that. It took intent and effort. When it becomes common knowledge and easy, but there is a clear just as good alternative or better alternative, each person who has a bad experience with Google will be more likely to switch. It's one of those things that seems like it'll never happen until it seems like it's happened already and it was inevitable. I will not be at all surprised if in 15 years we are watching documentaries what about what happened to Google...

  1034. I inspected an AR9 that had one of those earlier this year. No damage to the gun. A small nick on the top of the magazine. Slightly alarming, but no harm done. I'm not really sure what caused it I didn't see any evidence of a sticky firing pin, and if it is not fully in battery the hammer is n't able to squarely strike the firing pin and give it enough protrusion. My best guess is maybe some piece of grit got on the bolt face.
    1
  1035.  @Broken_Yugo  with the particular geometry of that gun the bolt couldn't be back even a mm and have any contact with the firing pin. I don't think that was the issue. And bolt bounce doesn't seem particularly likely either. In order for that to be a problem you would have to have a combination of hang fire and severe bounce perfectly timed. I tried to create bolt bounds even without a cartridge and didn't see any. Granted I didn't have a slow mo camera on it. That is one of my gripes about the AR system in general though. the floating firing pin seems like a very fixable flaw. All they would need to do is bore out the firing pin channel a little bit and add a spring and it wouldn't be an issue or a possibility. My version of the WWSD 2020 would have just that.
    1
  1036.  @Broken_Yugo  I am familiar with the design. And I'm also familiar with the fact that the firing pin will dimple the primer a little bit every time you chamber around on an AR-15. that necessitates relatively hard primers and it just seems like a needless risk that could be eliminated at no cost. In my opinion it would be an improvement to the system to solve that.

  1059. From an evidentiary standpoint fire investigation and criminal profiling are very problematic. They have reproducibility levels on par with phrenology. Worse, they both tend to base life altering conclusions on a process that amounts to: step 1 form an opinion. Step 2 look for evidence that appears to support the opinion. Step 3 announce conclusion. Step 4. Take credit for hits. Ignore misses. Get publicity. Get funding. Teach in a seminar, and produce certification for others. They both are abysmally inaccurate, and fail audits of every kind.

Terms like sawzall , corn flakes and Hoover or Kleenex are all sort of indicative that there is a fine line Delta point if you are trying to have the ideal branding and protector trademark from becoming generic. Is 50% is the point where you lose your trademark because q-tip is now a universal term for that type of thing as opposed to a identification of a particular manufacturer then you want your brand to be hovering at about 48.5%. you want your brand to be the first thing people think of when they think of that type of thing but you also want them to be just barely aware that other people make that type of thing and they aren't a substitute.

I have found it as helpful to ask a question. Do you want to have a cathartic rant, or do you want to change someone's mind? And I think the truth is often that they actually want to have a cathartic rant but most people will say the second. It's an effective question because it causes the arc of the conversation to change. People will often talk about the extreme importance of whatever their deal is. And I will tell them if it is that important isn't it important enough to talk about persuasively?

  1076. I would say describing the government is not forcing us to almost has it backwards. a lot of white us trade and industry works in imperial is because we must build and manufacture according to myraid regulations which are set in standard units. Ships are built to barrel widths. Pipes are NPT in various schedules. The cost of persuading the government to allow a new way of doing any tasks often exceeds the profit margin. only if the ability to source cheaper or better material that is metric allows a company to have a competitive advantage is it worth the dual costs of switching processes and lobbying for permission.

  1079. Another trick you may know about that I would use in your shoes. The dychem approach. Coat a whole cartridge in sharpie and feed it. Extract and see where the sharpie shows rub marks. Check the chamber, mag, feedramp, etc for rub marks. Alternately do the opposite. Sharpie the chamber, bolt face, feed ramps... I've cured quite a few machines of mystery behaviors with that one.

  1080. I was thinking playing with the nose profile and seating depths of the bullets tends to make a big difference with stuff like this. I agree that a gun should run factory ammo, but right now it is a frustrating paperweight that could be converted into a very fun range toy. Come up with one load that it " likes" and crank them out in volume. You only really need to get it right once to turn your old enemy into a favorite friend. Note, I would not use cast lead 44 mag with that gun, unless it was powdercoated. Bare lead and gas operated is a bad combo. (a cutting torch like effect happens as the bullet passes the gas port, vaporising lead, and distributing it in the gas system & air you breathe.) However powder coated lead gives you a lot of really excellent options for projectile designs that aren't commercially available, and at really low cost too. It has real potential to increase the ballistic performance of the gun, if you care.

  1083.  @bill8791  you tend to refer to all vacuum cleaners as Hoovers. Most of the rest of the world is fairly unconcerned with the internal distinctions that deportions of the United kingdom use to break up the constituents of the British isles. I am aware of them. I also know that many people from the UK tend to disregard these and use the term English and British mostly interchangeably. I suppose if you want to be pedantic about it you can but I ask why you think it would matter whether I specifically was aware of that distinction? I would also dispute the rationale behind designating Vickers as an English company as opposed to a British or vice versa. since the company was essentially almost exclusively marketing to the state itself and most of its projects were built at least partially unstate secrets it is mostly a function of the UK as a whole rather than as Britain or England really. It doesn't work in normal speech to say a thing was UKish, and that is even clumsier when you say this thing has among as many constituent contributors some UK-ish input into its development, hello the product was mostly developed into its final state before the UK input became relevant... See that's kind of clumsy. but if you want to be the patent and a stickler for having the details of fact right that would be the statement you would make.

  1107.  @mindeloman  cost and complexity was a real thing for them. That said, military acceptance is decades behind civilian tech with rare exceptions. also a common aspect of military acceptance is that the general officers making the decision have extreme contempt for their enlisted men. More so historically. they assumed that every recruit was incompetent and had zero self-control and they always wanted to impose control via officers and themselves. If you follow the adoption of early repeating rifles, the major concern was that infantry would waste ammunition and fire pointlessly. They were far more concerned with adding unnecessary magazine cut-offs than they were with simplicity and reliability or fast follow-up shots or things like that. They didn't really think fast was a benefit. They thought fast blind firing and wastefulness not ability to track up running man. And not ability to quickly shoot several people in a group. Military doctor and really didn't catch up to that obvious concept until the end of world war I. And yet just about every individual in a firefight who'd had any access to faster firepower since the American civil war tended to be extremely beneficial. The other thing that they quickly learn to be a major benefit was lower recoil and a flatter trajectory. be light recoiling liver guns definitely wouldn't have a flat trajectory but they would have capacity speed and low recoil. I'm not saying they were perfect, but I do think if a major military had adopted one in an arsenal level they could have simplified and streamlined the hand fitting in production. They could have also lowered the quality standards for surface finish on cosmetic surfaces. It is true that the commercial sale Winchester's were expensive but there were plenty of things about them that could have been simplified and cheapened upon request. Plain round barrels for instance, and a lot more cast components, with only finish milling.

  1114. It couldn't under current law. There are three types of debt that are non-dischargeable under bankruptcy. Each of which is essentially under written by the govt. Taxes. Education. Medical. the rational on the medical is that care providers are obligated to give you care even if you cannot pay and do not have credit. Since they must give you the care, compelling them to do so at no charge and no right to require repayment is essentially slavery. So medical debt is non-dischargeable under bankruptcy but nobody can garnish your wages below a level little lies you to live and pay your basic expenses. so effectively if you have no insurance and rack up as they're $100,000 medical bill and no means of income that that never goes away but it's also not collectible.

  1120. Not as reliably as they would have you believe. Ballistic fingerprinting is basically prone to the same failures as seen in 'My Cousin Vinny' when their expert claims they have positively identified the tires as having come from a particular vehicle, when in fact he merely showed that they have the same pattern as those on the vehicle, and are the most popular model and type. They can generally narrow down a bullet to a model or maybe a brand of firearm, but not truly to the firearm. Many firearms of different brands have barrels made by a small number of companies, and will have indistinguishable rifling. Some thing has to be very wrong with a gun in order for it to leave truly distinctive marks on either the brass or the projectile. Modern machining doesn't leave rough and unique shapes on each part.

  1122. I learned to use an analog wrist watch when I was very young. And maybe age 10 or 11 my mother gave me a wrist watch with Goofy the Disney character on it and the hands ran backwards. I quickly got used to it. Ever since even though I use analog clocks everyday I have to think about which way it's running. I still wear normal analog wrist watches. But it's no longer intuitive in the same way that it was before.

  1139. My favorite is pick your flavor of box fed reliable shotgun. 21 or 22 pellets of #4 buck inside of a federal 12S3 Wad, over however much longshot gives you 1400 FPS in your gun. full choke. It makes a tight pattern with no gaps in the distribution, and you have moderate recoil with optimal penetration. Inside house distances, you will have 4" to 6" size patterns. My S12 with a 12 round mag and 1 in the tube is a nice bump in the night tool with that load.

  1151. Funny thing is Wyatt Earp is all about suppressing the citizenry. He was all about the fine for me but not for thee stuff. He was a dirty cop who let his criminal friends get away with crimes and disarmed members of public but allowed his friends whether or not they were a badge to carry guns. Allowed them to fight and rob people in his casino, then had a street fight with a rival gang and then he and members of his gang killed members of the other party after they had lost their badges. Is a prime example of a corrupt cop. Not somebody I would want to use as an example of what I want people doing. and no I am not a fan of what the other side of that particular gang war was doing either it was bad guys versus bad guys.

  1152. @46:00 eh kinda. You can't shoot cast bullet at 2700 fps+ UNLESS you do the work to tune your load. That neans you need to know the composition of the alloy, and control the tempering process. most shooters who use cast bullets don't know that those are things you have to do. So they'll inform you that it's impossible. They're using random scrap alloy and are not tempering at all. they may water drop from the mold but that is creating a lot of variability based on the human factor.

Yes it's complicated but they do work and well you wouldn't want to go through it in a mud puddle, they didn't. This was the era of flap holsters after all and even stock holsters. Your gun was basically kept in a leather or wood envelope until you were ready to use it so it would work fine. Yes they would have more malfunctions than when you'd be happy with today but it was a major step up over a single shot or a six shot.

  1158. I did a lot of fabrication. I've killed a few red tools over the years. I had a brand new sawszall die about a half hour into use. It was the heaviest duty model they made circa 2003. I know better than to overheat a tool and didn't see that coming. We used up grinders on the boat, and used the old makita model for the small model, the milwaukee for the medium and skill for the big beast, since for years those were the best in class. All of them eventually wore out, and we had enough to caniballize. Then we got a metabo small size grinder. It outlasted 5 of the milwaukees we had, while being smaller, having more rpm, more torque and a clutch. It also got submerged in oily salt water a couple times. It was so much nicer to use, people would complain if they had to use the milwaukee tools instead of the metabo. IIRC, the company recently got abosrbed into some conglomerate, so who knows if they are as good now.

For your parents union to mean anything and have any power and must agree that one of the options is not to send your kids to that school. this may not be organized in the form of a union but effectively every private school is appearance union bargaining against the public schools. So is every homeschool co-op. Every parent who homeschools but does not join in a co-op is like a person who refuses to work for the company but did not join the union. as much as I've always hated the term scab perhaps it is reasonable to think of parents who send their kids to the public schools as the equivalent of scab workers.

  1176. One thing I don't care for about the conspicuous open carry of the style of the guy had is that any hands-on tussle is implicitly a fight over control of a firearm. In a sense every fight when you have a gun out visiblyis already pre-escalated. You have to assume that if that guy wants to overpower you he will have access to the gun and he knows it. This is obviously true for cops. Also this guy kept keeping his firearm side closer to the guy who's already in obvious problem. As you said I don't want a Monday morning quarterback, but I can't help but think if his gun was carried fully concealed or at least not as blatantly out there he might have been a little bit le ss visually confrontational and had a better opportunity to de-escalate. As you said he also would have had use of both of his hands. Nothing I say here is implying that he should not have had the legal right to carry as he did. You should have that right. And he does. But I think it is a poor choice tactically and socially in many circumstances. I carry conspicuously and I am in the woods for convenience and comfort.

He had that level of craftsmanship put into it but then he carried the thing constantly and it shows on the gun. To me that is so much cooler than a safe queen. I'm not in the market segment that can do something like that. But if I ever get there I probably will. I think it would be fun to have something like a very embellished Boburg That is personalized to me. Or maybe something like a rhino. or even a more practical gun like a sig 365 but with an aftermarket aluminum frame, carved up and perfected.

They also made a lot of support equipment specialize sites all that kind of stuff . Lots of bad ideas are bad ideas retrospectively and lots of obvious that ideas are obvious after they been invented . They weren't obvious before .

  1207. It used to be pretty common in Bristol Bay Alaska at the end of the season for most of the major fish buyers to pull out of the market and the only remaining buyers to be cash buyers. That means if you were catching fish and selling them you are receiving cash and fairly large quantity if you're getting anything at all. There was a season where my dad caught over 100,000 lb of fish when fish was probably around a $3 a pound for the species he was catching by himself in a river in Alaska that had about six other boats doing the same. He had ammo cans full of cash under his bunk, The only gun he had was a 22 and he was out of ammo. It amazes me given Alaska being how it is that I've never heard of anybody going pirate at the end of the season. Many people know that there are very few boats with a lot of cash on board. And that law enforcement is at best dozens of hours away. Someone with a fast boat or an airplane could really pull off a heck of a robbery up there. Cash buyers are less common now but they're still a couple around. I would not be surprised if in the mid-90s a cash buyer would have a million dollars of cash on hand on basically what amounts to a decrepit crab boat.

  1223. Ah. Dismissing an entire nation as a homogeneous block because you can't point to evidence. You can't answer your arguments so you just say that I don't count. A brilliant strategy. I'd suggest calling us all homosexuals as part of name calling to further bolster your argument, but you already did that, sir. Why not keep it stereotypical, and add that you'll have sex with my mother, or cut my face? On the other hand, if you are open to addressing points via logic and rhetoric, please read and respond to the following: You still haven't said which residents of the UK speak real English. Or what time period. I'll assume you can't, which is why you dodged that issue, since it is the biggest hole in your whole perspective. You say American's don't count, I'll one-up you then. People in the UK don't speak "proper English" anymore either. If we don't count, I don't think you can make a good case that Britons should count. U wot m8? Probably the only groups in the UK known for speaking clear English are immigrants. The Germans speak better English, your Pakistani and Indian residents speak intelligible English because they put effort into it. The truth is that English is the 'lingua franca' of the modern world, and most of the modern world is getting their colloquial English from the worst of American sitcoms: "friends", and from training related to American software. The youth in the UK are as likely to call thin fried pieces of potato "chips" as "crisps" and say "TV" rather than "telly". If you continue to think of this as culturally winning or losing, then your only conclusions can be denial or loss. On the other hand, you could realize that English like all languages is inherently mutable, and is homogenizing due to mass media, which mostly comes from the USA, but is also adapting to fit the linguistic habits of other languages. i.e. my own personal pet peeve of bad usage. "Show me how _ feels like." It should be either "how that feels" or "what __ feels like" but not a combination. However the language is changing and that appears to be the new dominant usage. I can grow up or spend my life being petty and bitter about trivialities. I choose to be interested, rather than bitter. I invite you to join me in that perspective.

  1235. I would love to have the maritime brutality. A significant part of my adolescence and young adulthood was working on a commercial fishing boat. Shooting from a boat is a whole different skill set and it kind of ruins you for shooting on land. It's a little bit more like shotgun shooting than conventional rifle shooting you shoot on the swing you have a very clear mental image of the sight picture you're looking for and when your reticle or sights intersect with that point you pull the trigger. There is no becoming rigid and steady and waiting for the respiratory pause. If I were trying to replicate that and imagine environment I think I would have a pond with some kind of oscillating wave generator and have competitors have to go to a dock and fire a few shots from the dock. Potentially just having other competitors running on a nearby dock would generate enough waves to make their firing platform randomly wobbly. Or maybe their own Sprint down the doc to generate enough waves that they would be moving quite a bit still at the end.

I think it would be just fine if you did end up with a bunch of free tools though for all the work you do. Thanks again for adding to the public knowledge base. I think clean cut and low force matters more often than indestructibility. Although I will say I hate a set of flush cutters that gets mushed and nicked on standard fencing wire or similar.

  1240. Yep I'm a former commercial fisherman and the advice I give to friends all the time is when you go to the grocery store to buy fish that's on sale ask for them to take some that's still in the freezer rather than the fish that they thought out to dry under the glass and get nasty. Frozen is the freshest. But there are different grades of fish and how long it takes to get them from the catch to the freezer, what stage of the season, how marked up to fishes by nets or whatever...

  1241.  @paulatreides0777  I think you might be reading too much into that. There's a difference between saying " I'm interested in this because I have a connection" and "you should be impressed with me because I have a connection." You assumed the former. But it could be either and there's literally no way to know from the context.

If you want a cool bike for cheap, get something old, swap the headlightts using proper lense, H4 bulb kit, and a relay, re-skin the seat, replace rubber hoses, and put on new tires. All that stuff will be about $400-$500. I'd also get the best brake pads you can find for the bike.

I have been involved in the US civilian market scene for Soviet bloc guns for a decade or so, and have enjoyed the perspectives from several other of your countrymen. It is always informative to see the difference between how a nation views itself and how it is viewed from outside. Much more so, when it is a nation and former allies. I hope to hear more from you in collaboration with Mr. McCollum.

  1254.  @SigneOtter  I agreed that old tools are good. Also I don't disagree that machine tools are machine tools. What I was trying to convey is that the kind of tools you are describing as widely in general use aren't what most of the guns were produced with at the big arsenals. They had machines specialized for mass production rather than a one off part. You aren't going to find shapers and huge rifling lathes at your local fabrication shop. You will find a small universal lathe, and an end mill. Sure they are period machine tools, but they won't recreate the methods of production used for mass production in that era. I would love to have any of the above though. My current tooling is very limited.

  1255. Used to be. "major power factor". Unfortunately, it mostly acted as a handicap on the majority of shooters to keep the 1911 fanboys in the matches by ignoring modern ballistics and magazine capacity of most firearms. It's fallen out of favor for a reason. Those kind of things end up being less about shooting well and more about gameness. i.e. can I do the math on how many hits is required on all targets with major, vs how many hits on minor, then deduct mag change times and buy the gun which comes out ahead this year? - And hope that the stage designers don't slightly favor the category of gun I didn't buy. It becomes pay to win, but with a couple steps in between. The guy who can afford to buy or customize his whole setup every year can stay at the top.

  1266. In fairness, the stuff at 5 minutes in or so, is very standard warranty language. It is not fair to portray that as an insidious ploy for the purposes of hiding skullduggery. Manufacturers virtually all have a clause to that effect, because they don't want to be obligated to fix stuff that you screwed up. Your harddrive doesn't have a warranty void sticker on it, because they are hiding a worse hard drive inside. They have the sticker to prove that you mucked it up. So same here. There's plenty of legitimate things to bash them on, but this isn't one of them. -- business lawyer who does contracts and things like warranty clauses for a living.

  1269. I think your best point is the one at the 18 minute mark. That's my professional field of expertise. Even in areas where we want the government making rules, the quick and dirty emergency fix is to dictate HOW things are done, not what result you want to get. This is bad lawmaking, and stifles innovation and is most open to exploit. Instead, IF you want a state to make rules, you usually want the rule to dictate the Result, but leave the method open to choice. (easy example. In the 1950s they decided that we needed to see on roads, and dictated round sealed bulb halogen headlights with parabolic reflectors as the method. Those were the best tech at the time. Almost immediately, better headlights were developed in other shapes and using other methods of generating the light. We couldn't sell them here for a decade or two. It would have been better to dictate that drivers must at least be able to see a particular range. Or even dictating lumens at a particular distance in a particular wavelength.) Regulators are most responsive to the needs and considerations of large organizations, because they can pay to staff lawyers and techs to study the issues. They are terrible at responding to the input of large groups of small institutions and individuals. You can pretty much guarantee that if the state makes a law about social media, the law will be designed from the standpoint and interests of the big companies, not their customers. It's a structural thing.

  1270. We've had that in Washington for at least a decade. The problem is you can never retroactively prove a pretextual stop. and if they're pulling that I knew you probably can't afford to argue about things in court anyway. With the burden on the person being stopped to prove that he was stopped for an improper purpose, and the presumption that the narrative taken by the citing officer is good evidence... very few people will ever meet that threshold in so I think there's been something like three or four cases in Washington State. it's pretty much only for throwing out felonies on par with murder or very very long-term drug cases. It isn't for the probably hundreds of thousands of actual pretextual stops which led to citations for minor infractions. the incentives are there cops get what they need to get through pretext and don't get punished for it. So of course they will do it all the time. I've been followed by a cop through several different intersections in Oregon, and was eventually pulled over for signaling a turn before I made the turn. the cop was plainly embarrassed because he knew it was not a valid reason to pull me over. But it was in the early hours of morning and it was an emphasis patrol and nobody else was on the road. he was bored and he was going to follow me until I did something he could pull me over for. I am very glad that you pulled me over for an illegitimate reason and had to admit it.

  1282. Really depends on the gun. Also the shooter. I have found that when I took young men in their twenties who had been raised on video games but never handled real guns what they wanted was actually the recoil and the kinesthetics. They were immediately bored by summit Auto 22s or 223s in the like but they were very excited about shooting a 30-06 bolt action that was frankly unpleasant with the ammo. I'm thinking of one guy in particular but I have had this experience enough times that I recognize it as kind of a trope. For that reason when I am teaching people gun safety or taking new people shooting I try to curate the experience and have something fast something slow and various stages of recoil in each with me. I give the shooter something they have success with and then I let them shoot whatever they like after they start to achieve basic competence. I have found a 9 mm carving with a red dot to be a better starting point in general than a 10/ 22. It has enough pop to be interesting but not so much as to be unsettling. You can see where it hits if it hits a reactive target so that makes it more satisfying. Success builds on success so getting the new shooter to be aware of their own successes earlier is very helpful.

An old guy feeling guilty about pity sex from a woman he knew as a child. I can forgive the changed ending. The most part Snyder got this right because he copied the book scene-for-scene shot for shot angle for angle, like 300 and Hellboy. Most of the things are good in it are good because he had their restraint not to change them. Most of the bad are the opposite. I think the artistic decision to cut a little side scenes of 80s gang members was a good call. That stuff was forced in the books and of very dated. Not in a cool period way either.

  1305. Hey Dank good story. Just a tip here. The phrase high-powered rifle is almost always nonsense. It's kind of like heavily armed. It doesn't actually mean anything. You basically armed or you're not armed whenever people say heavily armed in the news it's because they consider any arms scary but you couldn't actually tell the difference between anybody described as heavily armed and just armed. Same goes for high-powered rifle what does it mean? Is the cartridge more powerful? Does it have more cartridges? Does it just look scary to the news reporter? Most military rifles are actually low powered rifles because it's easier to control. I'd be willing to bet that his hunting rifles were a lot higher power if you're talking about the actual power of the shot than anything those cartels had excluding the RPG. It might kind of sound nitpicky but this is just the sort of thing that sounds really stupid when you know the subject matter it's like hearing the extra click clicks and movie anytime a gun is picked up.

  1315.  @granthoover9045  you got it all wrong though. Paris is for lovers, and 300 blackout is for people who make their own. Most of what I shoot in 300 blackout is about 2/3 the cost of the cheapest 223. And I generally never get below about 800 rounds in inventory of both super and sub flavor. I can't make my own powder and primers but everything else I can and pretty efficiently too. You should like this and you shoot a whole lot more than people who are relying on whatever the local gun store has in stock. You are also getting a lot of gaines over the people who buy online. The buy it cheap stack a deep still applies though but then it's applying to powder and primers. Going to give an amount of budget and space you can fit a hell of a lot more powder and primers than you can commercially loaded ammo. And then there's the other end 300 blackout gives you a huge versatility in projectiles and types of loadings. You can make some really good performing stuff. If you look into the performance on things like MakerBullets, or even relatively common things like pushing the Hornady V-Max 110 or the Barnes tak-x, or nosler 110 black tip.... You'll see that inside a couple hundred yards they are just devastating for anything defensive. 300 blackout in a shorty isn't the gun for all roles. But it is a gun that's pretty good for LARPing around in the woods and amazing for home defense in an area where you have close neighbors, or for a gun that can legally ride with you in the passenger seat while loaded. That one's assuming it's a pistol and you are able to legally carry a loaded pistol with you as most of us are who choose to.

  1318. As much as I hate to use the trendy name, I think the honey badger concept is the generation 3.5. A scaled-down rifle that operates as a carbine or as a submachine gun based on a magazine change to a different ammunition. Suppressed, compact, well ballanced, collapsible low snag. You can easily jump out of a crowded vehicle without being tangled and you can easily make a shot out to 300 meters, then swap a mag and have a very low recoil subgun that is quiet and easy to do controlled bursts with. Supersonic it's a handier AK. SubSonic it's a super well-controlled suppressed submachine gun with much better ballistics. It is in a lot of ways not having to choose between a carbine or a submachine gun- it's having A very good version of both at the same time. It's a good carbine. It's an excellent submachine gun. It isn't really compromising. And if you think about it that lack of compromise in what is a multi-tool is distinctive and new.

And the other big question is why the length. people have long shotgun barrels mostly because they feel like they ought to. if they want velocity it's always not a big deal to get just a slightly hotter load.

Not "I will never view what you make", but "I'm a lot less motivated to view what you make consistently." I suspect I am representative of a lot of your potential audience.

  1347.  @mathewscott9453  I think you need to define work boots better. do you mean steel toed leather type work boots or do you mean waterproof rubbery boots as used by fisherman and people who walk through cow poop? If the waterproof type I have been a commercial fisherman and I've tried all of the usual more expensive suspects and I greatly prefer Bogg's. I specifically would opt for the style that has smooth river on the outside not exposed neoprene. they are definitely better made and more comfortable than the muck Boots company style. Even though they are visually similar design features.

  1367. I believe Mr Walsh that you are intentionally ignoring the real third option which is that the small details from one or two members of enormous organizations are not in fact actually credible evidence of alien life at all. They are fuzzier descriptions than the descriptions which you reasonably reject of actions that lead to public outrage. That a retired old guy somewhere says oh yeah a friend of mine once saw a thing not move apparently out of a tiny window of an airplane way up. The only two possible answers of that are aliens or super technology... No there's a lot of options One he was mistaken too He's a liar Three you can't really see very much from those. For the declassified footage that exists mostly shows that people have a really hard time tracking things with old cameras at high speed. And for somehow they only have the resolution of a Nokia phone from the 1980s which is to say none. So please cancel this portion of your show. I agree with you just about anything is more interesting than the continual outrage bait. And also any area that you discussed that is not the same five talking points as the other daily wire hosts is more interesting also by definition. Prior to you taking this job you used to write a lot of articles that were detailed and nuanced discussions of philosophy. That is where you really shine. get back to the cultural apologetics please.

    1
  1373. A valid point. I was not thinking so much about volume of sustained fire as about seizing with mud or rainwater induced rust. It seems like a lot of the problems were during the numerous stretches of miserable conditions, which didn't give any down time for service. A gun like the Chauchat would have needed a lot of downtime, and a location where you would feel safe to not lose parts. I expect that neglect was the rule and proper service the exception. I am sure that like AR variants in deserts today, the field advice would have been: Keep a bottle of light oil on hand. If there isn't time to do a proper field strip, at least get a bunch of oil down the barrel jacket, and you'll probably be fine. That and if pressed into a sustained fire role, reliability could probably be achieved fairly well with simply a wet rag hung over the barrel jacket. That speeds up cooling substantially, and everyone has the materials on hand. I wouldn't expect you to modify it given your collector motives, but if someone did want to get more shooting out of one, and were making a spare barrel from a blank to rack up the round count, it still seems like a no-brainer to keep the radiator at diameter at the ends, and shave a couple thou off down the length. You get the tracking maintained, but a lot less friction surface.

  1378.  @ForgottenWeapons  good. That was what I figured. I don't think it would be very hard to use a CNC router in 2.5 D software to mock-up a pretty good-looking copy of that since most of the shapes are basically flat with chamfered edges. Then you could make it take whatever random parts you had in the bin. For example, the Mauser-ish hammer, and the stocks. Plus if I were Disney , I would want all the weapons to be a completely unique design. So that they have a style patent. Or potentially, they could trade mark it but that's legal nitpicking. The point being, they would like to control who could do the reproductions and sell them. If it has a unique butt shape, distinct markings, and only shares some outline aspects from the Bergman, I think they can make a pretty strong claim that it's an original artistic creation. Possibly even that it's an intrinsic element of their character. And that would be subject to copyright which lasts practically forever.

Some products to meet do matter that I have the local touching it local experience. I do buy those locally. But I've also had the experience with increasing frequency that the local company uses a chain distributor. Further their staff doesn't have any special knowledge of the products. so they have less selection at a higher cost and frequently it still gets ordered it and I have to wait. At that point what are they bringing to the table that Amazon doesn't. So I did choose Walmart and I did choose Amazon. I chose Google too. No Google is engaging in the practices that cause me to choose them over Yahoo etc. So as much as I can I choose other sources of information.

  1395.  @jeromethiel4323  unfortunately that isn't always the case. a lot of different individuals and groups are making laws that affect guns. Many of them are as you say very ignorant. Some of them know what they're doing and they're even worse. Further there are groups that are anti-gun oriented that have prepared rules and legislation that they hand off to senators and congressmen. Sometimes these have finally tailored bad law and sometimes they have incoherent doggerel. I've seen examples of both. For instance Washington initiative 695 was of the latter category. It was produced by Antigone lobbyist s and acted directly by the voters and was internally inconsistent gibberish. I helped present at a conference of lawyers and law enforcement officials trying to figure out just what we do about the mess created by that. They were all shocked that the law could be passed and say the things that said and not say the things they expected it to say. Going the other direction in the same state when we got suppressors SBRs and AOWs approved, The law was rushed and they neglected to include short barreled shotguns, in the original language did not allow for form 1 of some NFA items. It was later amended to correct the error.

And you clearly know nothing of what law school teaches, because had you attended law school you would know that they actually do teach legislative theory and a number of other classes relating to how each lawmaking process works. They would also teach you for instance that law is not only statutory law but also includes common law civil code law regulatory or administrative law in American parlance. .. there is an obvious reason why the majority of lawmakers went to law school and not political science classes. No I do have friends who have both doctorates and political science and law and now accounting.

Honestly I think the Republicans and libertarians got hijacked on the net neutrality thing.the thing about net neutrality is there was initially an argument saying hey there a common-carrier either there are common carrier or they aren't. That was net neutrality.then the hijack became hey do you want the government controlling it through a federal bureaucracy or do you want big corporations and all the left us were like EA the government and all the libertarians and the Republicans were like "and no the corporations". that was a false dichotomy and neither of those represents net neutrality both of those are controlled internet. Net neutrality is a very simpleconcept if you want to be a publisher the curator content than you're liable for your content if you don't then you must treat all content equally in order to get common-carrier protection from liability that simple no regulation required just a simple rule about liability. that and contract law is relevant when companies are violating their contracts with their users again no new regulation required . simply enforce contracts through ornate action in the courts.

  1404. Alternate theory based on personal experience as an attorney. I get things like this from time to time, and it comes from not shutting the would be client down hard . -- Pla's attorney is new and hungry. Pla is family friend. Pla has this whole thing written out on 3 reams of paper. She says, "sure, I want to help you uncle Jed-Bob." Then she sees the huge mess, but doesn't have the nerve to shut him down. She says, " that's way too long to file, I would have to rewrite it from scratch." Pla says "Naw. You are just trying to run up the bill. It should be more affordable because I did all the work for you. All's I need is for you to make this all legal- like and put the end bits on there, and file it in the right place...." And then she knows she should say, "No." but she's too nice, and too broke. So she commits a rule 11 violation, and puts her name on the end of some ramblings written by her client.. People used to try to do that with me all the time, and now maybe only every 6 months or so. I tell them cash up front, and I am rewriting everything, to only include legally relevant statements which I can document as provable. I also explain that shorter documents are more persuasive. We just need enough good arguments, not everything that ever happened. They counter that it's all true. I say that I sympathize, but I have to prove things with documents made at the time of the event, and will have to leave out everything else. Also that if they pay me to start this, and we can't find provable evidence, then I will end the project and they won't get cash back. That either causes them to take me seriously and listen, or leave. Either works. If we work together, I write out the skeleton of the case, with what legally relevant facts I need to prove, then give the client a shopping list. i.e. Find me a receipt for when you had the well put in, or a bank statement.

  1407. FYI, "Manstopper" was all but the official name for the second version of the Webley service bullet in 454. It was just an HP, but after Hague, it became bad PR so they just reverted to the prior bullet. It was kind of an embarrassment for the British Army. They had bullet type 1 which they replaced because it didn't work all that well, and they had evidence. So they developed Bullet 2 which they said, 'hey this won't get you killed, it's a manstopper.' It worked alright-for a handgun round. Then they re-issued bullet #1, and said, "~hey this one is great, perfectly adequate, totally won't get you killed, stop whining." (See SA80 for a slightly funnier development cycle.) It's all absurd, because the point of any bullet is to induce a grievous wound which rapidly incapacitates the guy who is trying to kill you. All the various small arms conventions did was force other types of bullets which would make equivalent wounds. Big slow bullet= big ugly hole. Medium slow bullet +HP = big ugly hole. Fast small bullet = big ugly hole. Faster smaller bullet = big ugly hole. Fastish smaller bullet turning sideways on impact= ___________. It would be useless to carry any bullet which doesn't do that, so they all do, and Hague convention is futile.

  1417. That is completely incorrect. 922(r) is about importation, not "assault weapons" This gun as shown is non complaint because he has a magazine over 5 which puts it out of the 'as imported' condition, and makes it "non sporting" By current counts, with that mag it would have 12 foreign parts, and thus be two over the limit.
    1
  1418. It seems obvious to me that the reason they shorten the bolt on the Mk 2 is to prevent direct impact on the threaded cap. what they could've done to fix it is that plus adding a bunch of mass around the front end of the bolt . I don't think there's anything actually occupying that space in the receiver so there's no reason it couldn't be a little bit thicker . No doubt the formulas weren't worked out yet . However mass is the critical feature. Spring rate is almost inconsequential . The usual wait for 9 mm is 1.5 pounds for the bolt.

Like I have a 16" 223 wylde heavy target profile fluted, and it is less front heavy than my cousin's 16" Arak in 223. The gun also just feels fat and puffy. Some people like fat forends, I don't.

  1440.  @Yora21  it made sense when if was developed. Scales were the most precise and accurate measuring tools available. Materials were sold by weight. Dimensions were fairly variable through a piece of material. Spot measuring a location would be inaccurate. Better to get a chunk that is big enough to minimize the effects of differences in rulers and put several of them together and average what you find on a scale. It gives you a better picture of the properties of the material as a whole, using the most precise tools that were available in the early industrial age, and even pre-industrial. Keep in mind most things are based on doing visual divisions halves thirds and so on. Which is the thing that humans can do a lot more precisely than you would think. See vernier effect. That's why a lot of old systems were base 12. Or 240 for the money, which also works with base 12. Everything is usually divisible by halves quarters and thirds. The cage system grew out of this method of thinking I have a known weight I can divide it and even number of times to come up with a diameter or a thickness of a given size of a plate or ball or rod. They did not have calipers or micrometers. But they did have scales.

Engineering explain does a really good job showing why with his Tesla truck episode. Anybody investing in this as a semi truck business is throwing their money away. Electric is great but every design problem is a optimization based on the reality of what the goal is.

They need to lock open, and they tend to be run more like a pistol, from olden timey thinking. i.e. more like modern gun handling: Right handstays in firing position, left hand does everything else. So usually the charging handle is designed to work left handed with gross motor skills, and be very cheap and simple to make. SMGs were very frequently made as a cheap and simple gun to make a lot of in an emergency. A big crude knob in a slot with a notch in it covers that need pretty well.

I've used West laws ai. I think of it is like Wikipedia. A good starting point that will probably catch most of the highlights. And then you can do your research from there. One area of law unfamiliar with is Washington landlord tenant. I used westlaw AI to search . Both westlaw and Google Google that there is a statutory maximum late fee. They seem to get this from a different set of statutes about storage units. And the misconception is common among tenant advocate groups. It was interesting to me that the most blatant bit of easily verifiable misinformation is shared among those three sources.

  1474. @carolynsilkett  Washington State had many contradictory rules during the corona fiasco. Some of them were made permanent. It's important to understand, that there is a lot of overlapping jurisdiction between state and federal rules. It is also important to understand that most of what you can find online about Washington landlord tenant law, was written by tenant advocacy groups and isn't an accurate statement of the law so much is what they wish it was. AI summaries are even worse. CDC doesn't have direct authority, and HUD may or may not have authority. That all depends on what building it is and what people are involved. Simply put it is way more complicated than it was two or three years ago.

Even if you got the fancy tourniquet if you find yourself with a bleeding leg wound shove pressure on it as hard as you can as quick as you can and make somebody else get the tourniquet on you if you have the option. By the same token if another person is wounded step one is get their hand or another bystander holding pressure in the right spot while you get your tourniquet out whatever kind it is. Or at least that's my theory. I'm certainly not a pro. I've had a few different kinds of first aid training and read up on it a bit but I wouldn't pretend to be an expert.

Up until now most people have been trying to persuade the tone down the degree of usurpation but that is not the tone that I am getting from potential clients lately now it's just I'm going to go bankrupt anyway I may as well do it fighting. no compromise. we're done. I really wish people would have been at that mode 8 months ago. They would have still had their businesses and they'd still have a war chest to fight with.

  1512.  @ventarfield7115  most semi-auto pistols can have this problem if they don't have the correct spring rate for their particular ammo. It is common to see Glock fanboys razzing 1911 owners about it. But both can do it. I've never had it happen with a Glock even when I was trying to make the malfunction but then my cousin with the same pistol had incessant limprist failures. He's a much bigger and stronger guy than me so it was quite surprising. I had to deliberately hold it loosely with my non-dominant hand to reproduce the problem. But I won't deny that it was a problem. The gun should work with no human input required.

  1513. For serious actually playing paintball does a lot for this. Firearms guys tend to be really arrogant about paintball. But there's nothing like having real-world two-way range and thinking opponents, and tactile feedback about how well you are using cover. Airsoft kind of but it doesn't really give the practical meaningful range or objective proof. A lot of stuff that would be concealment in the real world is cover for paintball, but when I watch firearms trained people attempt to use cover they leave so much more of themselves sticking out than paintball people do. And the difference is the experience of getting hit every time you leave something exposed. You will learn whether you can really shoot in the move. You can learn whether people really know where you are or you really know where other people are. And this sort of sense of rhythm about what the other person is doing that you just don't get until you've tried it. A little bit more advice that is unasked for.... Don't worry about whether the paintball is " realistic ". Just let it be its own thing. Shooting at steel targets isn't realistic. Shooting a paper isn't realistic. But they all let you learn something. Let the paintball be paintball, or the airsoft B airsoft. They teach you movement and situational awareness and tactics and how much your cardio sucks. They are also fun in their own sake. And they also teach you how many of your friends have so much ego in the way that they would rather cheat than admit a loss. Hopefully it doesn't teach you that you were the guy with all the ego and none of the honesty.

  1514. I don't think requiring an NDA is sketchy. That's necessary for normal product development. I think the issue is what the content of the NDA is and whether they are willing to negotiate it . I do business law . Not to drop this just for bragging or something I'm just saying this is a normal part of my business . Anybody who is developing a new product especially if it's patentable would be exercising malpractice if they didn't have a nondisclosure agreement. However if an investor or somebody had some real concerns, it's not that big a deal to make a nondisclosure agreement that permits them to talk about whether it worked but not how it worked . these are also necessary for hiring most the time in order for somebody to make an intelligent decision about whether they want to join your company as an employee if they have expertise they want to know whether your product works or has the likelihood because that's job security for them. Most of them are not going to sign an NDA that prohibits them from working for a competitor before they know what your product is . But they might sign one that says they won't use your ideas elsewhere . overkill NdA's pretty normal and I wouldn't say that they mean that the person is dishonest so much as they don't know how to protect himself well and they're just motivated by fear of losing their work . It's when somebody isn't willing to make reasonable concessions and adjustments that you should be concerned .

  1515. I've wanted a drop in EFI kit for universal Japanese motorcycles forever. Basically all the cool bikes from the late '70s and early '80s are awesome over built and reliable and sitting because they have a gummed up carburetor that you can never tune quite exactly right for all conditions. most of them either have solid state ignition or are easily converted to with something like a Dyna s kit. That same sensor that runs the dyna could easily be your crank angle sensor. So in other words all we need is a fuel pump some injectors mounted in tubes that can be spaced to match the intake, and a throttle position sensor right? Oh and maybe some kind of O2 sensor on your downpipe. That just screams for a universal kit for anything 600 to 1200 cc and 4 cylinder. Yet nobody will make one.

  1523. I could not agree more with the point at 1:03 about impostor syndrome. Malcom Gladwell points out in David and Goliath, that people tend to excel at a level where they are challenged but stand a bit ahead of their peers. A feeling of success builds momentum and a feeling of inadequacy or being overwhelmed does the same in the other direction. I went to Gonzaga School of Law, which is prestigious based on how people react to it. (Others may point out that it is easier to get into than some other schools.) The point was though, I was an "easy A", and am a generally bright guy. In a small pond it is easy to be a big fish. However, in a pond made of the biggest fish from several other ponds, one feels very small and overwhelmed most of the time. IIRC The law school population by academic standards were the top 3% of undergraduate students, many of whom were at the top of their high school classes. We had over achievers called "gunners" who had calculated out projections for class rankings and chose which classes they attend by spreadsheet analysis of which class would preserve their individual ranking. These guys all wanted the jobs that have a track record of burn out and ruined lives and divorce. Some of them were at the top of the class while working as interns, doing law review and moot court. I was not. Prior to law school, acing my undergrad while working 52 hours a week was natural for me. In law school, I was sick with stress just managing to keep "acceptably behind" on the coursework and reading. They knowingly assigned a reading list which required more hours than there are in a day. I think this was either unthinkingly on the part of the professors, or over some notion of stress inoculation. People who made it through basically learned to perform a triage on what stuff they could risk not reading, and looked several years older. It was a very stressful experience for me. I have no doubt that I rose to the level of professional competence, but I think the curve system forces many to fail who have crossed the threshold of adequacy, simply by saying that there are others who were a half percent more adequate, and an arbitrary number of passing grades. The bar exam is another redundant filter also set on a curve, which is made harder each successive year by intent. I think all of this creates a very high cost without an apparent benefit. -- And I can say that last point because both the LSAC and the various Bar Associations routinely brag about how they have studied performance in the entrance exams, law school performance, and Bar Exam performance, and each of these correlates negatively with professional success as attorneys. (Even more negatively with general life success indicators.) Only an insane system would study this, recognize the perverse incentive and decide to continue in the same direction more rigorously. If you read this far, thank you, and I welcome your thoughts.

  1529. No low range? My family had three of the original Honda trails two 110s and a 90. They each felt substantially different from the others to ride. My dad bought them under the theory that if you got a lame motorcycle you couldn't get into too much trouble. Is there you should have been that he had a cautious son who wouldn't get into too much trouble but he missed that one. The actual case was if you ever went into a jump or something faster than you intended there just wasn't the suspension to ride it out easily. I think you would have been better to have bought us something like a Honda CRF125.

  1542. I'm in moderator on an AK-based forum. I've seen a lot of stuff but AK guys built. Unfortunately horrible hackery is the rule. They basically come in a few flavors. Rifle is fine elitists. people who believe the entire mythology of AK needs no maintenance will run no matter what and get angry when theirs doesn't. People who want to modify it because why not. And people who bought it when it was the cheap alternative because they are absolutely the cheapest guy in the room. Well right now AKs aren't cheap anymore so there's less of those but in the '80s '90s and early 2000s all of the tightwad guys who would endanger their life to save $0.20 probably had an AK as their semi-automatic rifle of choice. Now those same guys probably have Bear Creek arsenal AR pistols in 458 socom.

And can it print my customized logo on my toast for no reason? and how will I know that a Star wars movie came out several years ago If it's not brand linked to the Star wars movie? This ancient toaster solves none of those problems!

  1550. I recognize that your friend uses Lee molds and lube system. You should suggest to him that it's time to try powder coating his bullets. It's a very simple way to polymer jacket your bullets and works way better than the lube system he is using. It also reduces lead exposure. The key is to start with quality powder.

  1554. I used to work at a prosecutor's office. It was not uncommon to see people try to break into the cop or state patrol impound yard or the tow company that the police had all their car off the street. The usual reason was they had stolen property or drugs inside and they were trying to get rid of the evidence. With the morons never realized is that the first thing it happens when it gets to the impound yard is an inventory for exactly this reason. And those inventories take two people being present because unfortunately cops are humans too and they need other people to keep them honest.

  1558. The problem is while the actual process might not be difficult you're only vendor for the barrels is going to be Brownells so if you're swapping barrels you may as well just bought the barrel you want in the first place. you aren't going to be able to just stick in a normal hair barrel if that's what you're thinking.

  1559. More of a lesson on the costs of converting from one system to another. Multiply those costly expenses to the entire US economy and you would have a better understanding of why the change is happening gradually here. We have a lot more industrial infrastructure and legislative/ regulatory machinery that would be jacked up and need replaced than really existed when EU all standardized. (Most of their stuff was either outdated or broken at the end of the war. Easier to just update everything at once. This is the reason why countries like India and Estonia have the best internet. No old stuff worth keeping when they got set up.)

  1560. He's mocked Loud or Loudness on older stereos before. It's a standard audio thing. Basically loudness is a way of quantifying compression. More loud is not more sound pressure, it is less variety in sound pressure level. So the quietest part of the noise, is closer to the loudest part of the audio noise.

  1561. The AR and SA80 have theoretically the same effective range, but the AR's handling characteristics and ease of mounting good optics make it easier to hit with. The weakest link in the system is the user. I haven't been in army or combat either, but the effective range is a pretty well known thing. I can say from a lot of paintball, that someone who doesn't want to be seen or shot at from 20 meters away is pretty hard to see or shoot, and it gets exponentially harder with distance. Particularly with uneven light, or when the target is small, moving, and colored similarly to the background. I used to do pest control out to about 350 meters having a target which was pretty close to the size of a human head. At that range, getting a hit on 1 out of 20 or so attempts was doing good, because you never have much time to notice the pest, drop what you are doing, grab a gun, and take a perfect shot. What people can do easily from a nice rest at a clear range on a clear day, with high contrast target, and lots of time tends to give an exaggerated expectation for what is doable under more practical conditions. That said, I've made more hits than I would believe if another guy were telling the story, so there's something for practice and familiarity for getting quick estimations of range and wind and a clean trigger break. After a while you can make shots that you don't deserve to make. Not all the time, but enough to motivate me to keep trying. The overwhelming data of combat indicates that people's effective range is ~3-400m, so having a gun that shoots well much further is kinda wasted.

  1563. Yo-yo is a brand name for a type of automatic fish catcher. It's basically a spring-loaded reel which will yank the fish in if something tugs on the line. So it's essentially a law against a fishtrap not against using the toy to catch fish.

  1565. True but I think Ian was broadly right. It's like quibbling about whether one of the particular world war one bolt actions was substantially better than another. And the answer is not enough to matter.

  1566.  @mpetersen6  Yes I remember those they were all at least a couple years ago though right? But still they are all variations on a type and in the same general category of performance. A nicer bolt action is still not in the same category as a semi-auto. And a slightly nicer single shot is still a single shot.

  1576.  @SlavicCelery  but do you take normal steps when you're measuring things or you do you take exaggerated paces? I think that's where the difference in the systems come from. I've never seen anybody walk normally when they've decided to pace something out. Then the question also comes to normal straight for who somebody from the modern-day Netherlands an underfed peasant who is 5 ft tall? It's like Jewish cubits versus other cubits. I wonder too how much jingoism comes into it like the British foot being theoretically supposed to be based on the King's foot but it's bigger than a normal person's foot and probably bigger than the King's was. And legally defined based on barley grains. Which of course brings up grains as measurement of weight and so you end up with modern use of grains avoirdupois for measuring jewelry medicine and gunpowder.

  1577.  @SlavicCelery  I've always found all of the unit systems to be pretty easy to convert through. acting superior because your country uses one system or another is just a sensible is acting superior because your country speaks one language or another or uses one currency or another. For most things I prefer metric. It's optimized for measuring with modern instruments and base 10 arithmetic. Most the older systems were base 12 or base 240 because those are easier to divide in quarters or thirds which is what you can do manually quite easily without specialized tools. It means more transactions can be done with exact change which matters when you are actually physically handing across currency rather than writing a check or having an electronic blip tally a fractional transfer. I also like using what I guess you could call the machinists version of imperial. So that's imperial units in decimal notation.

  1579. I think it's a lot more fundamental than the weapons . I think it is a basic human right that should be acknowledged in every country that no state has the right to forbid any individual from defending himself from attack . It logically follows that for bidding a competent self-defense is equally unjust . The fact that more than half of the nations in the world require their citizenry to flee or die in the face of attack is astounding and speaks to the core values of their bodies politic . They value state power significantly more than the value the rights of lives of their citizens . Getting into the triviality of which tools can be used or not this is the key point to the right of capable self-defense .

  1581. Ian there was only talking about dimensional tolerance. That leaves out material composition heat treat tolerance coatings tolerance... You can nail all the dimensions and have a part be a little too riddle or a little too ductile and it won't do its job. Or maybe it does his job just fine but it beats up the part next to it. A good example too is minor tweaks making big differences. There's a series on SOTAR where he shows differences in metal surface treatments. And similarly on small armed solutions. An AR bolt carrier that is dimensionally identical but nitrided instead of phosphatid is a little bit more brittle in one impact point so they have to change the dimensions very slightly to get the same wear properties. And in a lot of cases when they take the same thing and make it in nickel boron coated, then that can mess up the screw threads for the gas key and cause leaks. So they have to add a manufacturing step of chasing the threads. Many manufacturers don't do that which makes nickel boron carriers potentially less reliable even though they on paper are better. If somebody does the extra step of chasing the threads and making sure the gas key is well sealed then they probably are better.

  1590.  @peach495  your answer only covers criminal prosecution it does not cover the majority of what law has to deal with. Most of what lies and deals is a conflict of rights between two individuals. I'm too individual's rights are in conflict you have to parse up who would win and why you can't just punt and not decide.
