Okay, so... that's a toy. That's 100% a toy. But it looks adorable and I've been thinking about getting a 9mm carbine as a plinker so I'm actually interested.

Hey, @SinistralRifleman! What's the whole parts list on that preproduction gun? Also, tell Ian to stop being such a cheapskate with his audio equipment and get a proper wind sock for his camera mic. Half his open-air videos are fucking unwatchable because of the wind noise, and it's really unprofessional for someone who's been doing this for over 7 years now

Also, was someone firing one of those coilguns at the range or something? What's up with all that audio interference? Did he just not plug the mic all the way in?

Parts are The KP-9 lower with Rekluse trigger
KE-9 upper
KE 12.5” Delta-S rail
Taccom 13/16 barrel with permanent muzzle brake
Taccom bolt
8oz buffer with .308 spring.

Here’s basically the same gun in Woodland https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb2nBLor8bE/?utm_medium=copy_link
I’ll be using it at Woodland Brutality in May

No idea on the audio interference.

I would love nothing more than to hear the line of thinking which made a man arrive to that conclusion.

Has anyone else listened to Fudd Busters? Ian suggested it a while ago. It's run by some lawyer who gives legal analysis of gun law in different states and follows the ATF's shenanigans.

I sat through his interview with a guy who worked on the AA12 shotguns, it was a fascinating shitshow that taught me that the AA12 was in fact more even more retarded than it seems on the surface. Also got some insight on those goofy as hell Thunder-5 revolvers, and taught me that I should probably never ever shoot one of those with anything but light loads. Don't care if nobody has made one of those explode, I'm not going to be the first.

He has a podcast on the same channel with someone else. The host seems like some sort of "libertarian" that lets his politics seep into this podcasts. It's pretty cringe inducing or boring and different from the scripted content. Based on the comments, he attracts the standard balless conservative/libertarian types who talk a big game but then just watch their rights get taken away. I can't tell if he is naive or playing it safe for youtube based on some of the things he says because he seems very sympathetic to leftist movements. Here he is reading a SRA powerpoint and mentioning he is apparently the preferred guntuber of the SRA according to reddit.

I've watched the last few podcast episodes. FB himself isn't that bad, his co host is annoying and I prefer the fat guy he had on as guest host for one ep. Not great or anything but decent enough for long car rides or cardio. I rolled my eyes a dozen times during the SRA segment in the last episode. Typical libertarian conservative blabberings about how we should find common ground with leftists despite them standing against everything we hold dear.

His state law series and AA12 video are informative listens.

Yeah, when you start saying that the Socialist Rifle Association is a good thing, you lose me,

Those fucks just show up to political events and threaten people. Maybe the chapters around him are better, but here they're larping thugs who carry guns because they look scary. Bonus points that they tend to have very high end guns around here. Commies with a 3 thousand dollar race gun.

Which shows these creeps are unusually well-funded under what I am certain are totally legitimate and valid circumstances.

When exactly did you learn about the WWSD rifle project happening and do you know when it started exactly? The 2017 introduction video mentions it was a project that had been in the works for a while and I'm sure that with the KE Arms components and GWACs lowers that you may have had some awareness of its beginnings. Also, with the PDQ lever, did Karl and Ian learn about it from you or did you suggest they take a look at it for their project?

Sorry for taking a couple days to reply to this.

The line of thinking is absurd and indefeasibly wrong, but once dug into it takes more than a sentence or two to explain how completely wrong it is, but anybody should be able to figure out.

So, it first must be noted that these guys worship WWII as the peak of all warfare. Scale and capabilities never replicated, or exceeded. The technology that won the war therefore has not been obsoleted. After all, a spitfire can dodge, juke, and fly low enough to avoid an S-300 missile (theoretically...maybe...possibly). Never-mind that the S-300 was built to target bombers and logistics aircraft, not fighters, in the first place.

Second is an inherent distrust of new technologies, some merited, some not. Vietnam was the golden era for this sort of skepticism. The missile-only phantoms "lost decisively"against the "gunfighter" Migs. Forget the fact that the Phantoms did rather well in the face of having to constantly fight Migs in the air from air-bases right underneath mission flight paths because doing air-field denial might upset the Russians.

3rd, is that the older tech was radically cheaper at least in dollar amounts. A Reformer would argue that for the price of a single f-15, or B-52, you could have dozens or hundreds of Mustangs and Liberators. Don't calculate the price of having to maintain, fly, replace, and store though (among many other things). That is to say nothing of the capabilities lost (range, and to a lesser extent payload, being the most important to a SAC aficionado like me).

There are/were a clique of these guys for just about every branch and service you can think of: Army had the infamous Pentagon Wars, Navy *still* has battleship acolytes despite being proven second class in WWII. The Marines would have a much more vocal set, if they didn't have ancient shit being used as mainline equipment to begin with (Osprey problem aside).
