It matters not whether a man's trad waifu is a tranny, so long as she is racist.
I’m sure that these people are organically interested in a specific 3 gun build from 12 years ago. I’m also sure it has nothing to do with our legal opponents having a deposition that didn’t go the way they wanted it to about 3 weeks ago. Paul Shanks is such a renowned competitor who wouldn’t want to rebuild a rifle he did with parts a decade out of date?
Well I can cross being called the gamer word on kiwifarms off my bucket list.
Though im not sure how pointing out im currently arguing with someone on kiwifarms is “complaining about being kiwi adjacent”. Brb going to ban myself from discord for not maintaining no kiwi contact ethical standards.
"The gamer word". LOL, nigger. Say nigger, Phagan. The guy banned said he wasn't Full Spectrum. It doesn't matter to Karl, the guy banned knows someone on Kiwi Farms. That makes the guy dangerous to Karl's feelings and emotional well being.
Banned him for association. Karl Vijaya Gadde-Kasarda, banned a guy from discord not because he started shit. Karl did not ban a guy for being on Kiwi Farms. Karl banned him just because he was Kiwi Adjacent. We must get under Karl's skin and close to his heart like a pacemaker. To think he sends Phagan, the nigger, from KE Arms to defend his honor.
Also, it sounds like Karl is trying to cover for you in your lawsuit by what you posted. People can be interested and ask honest questions about guns that are no longer a thing without having an axe to grind. Have you ever heard of Forgotten Weapons? A guy, I think his name is Ian McCollum, runs it. He does a lot of that. People also have a thing, if you didn't know, about building ARs long out of production or style. I think Brownells calls it Retro.
I can't believe you guys banned him. After all the youtube videos complaining about the youtube TOS and algorithms. Blaming youtube for its authoritarian stance against things it does not like. You ban someone for knowing another person.

Christ the last couple pages has been a bunch of dramatic autism.
And to throw more gas on the autistic fire, hey Phagan how's Karl taking the news about roe v Wade?

Yeah I could see how that might effect the planning and organization of the brutality matches.

My Model T has just that from the factory. Adjust the carburetor while driving. Also, the timing of the motor is controlled by the operator, while driving.
1982 Honda Goldwing. Adjust it while driving.
In summary, people are capable, get fucked.

I suggested we just use fetal pigs instead and no one would know the difference.
He said he would know and it would ruin his artistic vision. I swear he’s such a diva sometimes.
I mean for a stage inspired by Amy Schumer’s comedy I think the pigs work even better but what do I know?

Yeah, custom EFI cars you often have driver adjustable AFR as well. Especially in weirdo vehicles whose turbos are too large. High load high speed fuel maps are very fun to make on interstates BTW.

Definitely a tough decision. Cause Schumer is fat but she's also about as funny as a dead baby. Hate to say it but I think I agree with Karl here.

That's awesome, but all I listed were stock from the factory configurations. I'm sure they aren't the only examples, but I know firsthand they exist.
And want to talk about fun? The reaction I get when I hand crank the Model T is great

I like my wrists, so I'm gonna stick with things that have electric start. And modern controls..... That thing would be hand throttle, right?
Yeah, benefits/drawbacks of EFI in production cars... It makes them kinda take care of themselves so the customer can't fuck it up, but it was the first step towards the average driver not knowing how to even change a tire. Made them into appliances instead of machinery.

My point on the adjustable gas block issue is that reliability for a defensive or hunting gun is extremely important. Now an adjustable gas system can make a gun more reliable with a specific type of ammunition, but I believe that any benefits you could get from that is out weighed by the potential for a malfunction. I do think that some adjustment is fine, like say a fouled or suppressor setting, but the high level of granularity that people say they want is just asking for malfunctions.
At the end of the day the AR market is such that everyone is catered too. If you want an adjustable gas block then there are dozens of products (that are good products) that you can buy and the AR is a very easy to customise, so no one is stopping people from doing what they want with their rifle. But it's my opinion that some aspects of a device that is mission critical that are better left alone.

We've bought a 2020 and making a 2017 that was already mostly finished. We're also going to make a Paul Shanks 2010 clone.
Allow me to explain my purpose and why I and referencing Karl, then.
While I highly disapprove of being a cuck and so on, I am going to keep the interpersonal stuff to the farms, off youtube, and obviously off his discord. I made it a point of sticking to professionalism and the AR-15 as a subject in my videos. Funnily enough I criticized many others in my videos and also featured every public statement on the forward assist made by Aaron Cowan, but I am somehow a stalker for doing him a favor and presenting his thoughts on the forward assist as succinctly and coherently as possible. Karl, among many others, was giving bad advice. Had Rittenhouse been a redditor interested in firearms his understanding of the AR-15 it may have been different and he may have learned from Karl or others not to use the forward assist and would likely have died.
While people can and sometimes are wrong on exact technical topics where there should be less room for error, I have sympathy for those who are wrong and then admit so. Karl, even after having a prompt (Kyle) to do a little more deliberation than he previously had for the forward assist still gets it wrong about the use of the charging handle when commenting about what Kyle should do. Many other people who also have not or are incapable of further deliberation also repeat the mantra of "use the charging handle" in a clear enough defined circumstance where with a basic understanding of push feed, you would know that it would not work. Why do people repeat such a mantra and are incapable of further deliberation about the subject? It is because they defer their thinking to people they perceive as authoritative on the subject and when seeing so many "experts" in agreement the "use the charging handle" mantra seems like it could never be a bad choice. Karl is simply one of the easiest targets to demonstrate that something as simple as this is not receiving a good deliberation.
On something so small and relatively simple in scope we should (as the firearms community) easily be able to come to a near complete or fully so common understanding of such a trivial topic such as the forward assist and knowing implications of push feed,. However, statements made from people like Aaron Cowan, Ian, Karl, Clint Smith, Chris Bartocci, Ed Ezell, Stoner, and so on all contribute to a more modern day fuddlore rather than anything worthy of actually being learned and put into a common repertoire. Further, I see many of the same mistakes on AR-15s being repeated over and over without further inquiry from anyone and their results presented for everyone to see. What I mean by this is that the people who DO know better are often industry professionals that have this information gatekept or simply not presented since they're not the type to publish information to a small audience if they have no followers.
Why also haven't any of our experts madea video that went over the implications of Kyle's circumstance and that the forward assist WAS the fastest and most reliable method available to Kyle? They have the wherewithal to do this much more easily than I can and yet all we receive are just reposts of the Tucker Carlson interview, inconclusive videos, or nothing of much value to learn from - despite most everyone being able to clearly see that this was an even to learn from.
THAT is my axe to grind and the purpose of my channel. Karl is just a small part of a demonstrative model I use to get people to understand why the popular ideas about immediate action, push feed, and the forward assist are wrong. He happens to explain himself in public comments more than others so he is useful as a case example. I want to publish information that is not out there, like the forward assist being an empirically tested and overall good device, and much more so that people can make better informed choices about an AR-15's configuration. I want FS to be one of the channels I could have watched when getting into the AR-15 to save me however many hours of troubleshooting experience with cheap "just as good parts" to find out that some of the most important specifications for some AR-15 parts are never even published and what I should often be looking for.
The forward assist is just an easy place to start out at and be able to fully understand.
We know exactly the what the rifle is. I have no idea how the deposition has gone since I don't want to blow the free $30 credit PACER gives you checking in constantly when the first quarter of this year has been about jurisdictional motions, I'll check in later, but feel free to fill us in if you'd like. I've already stated that it appears to be a cash grab by GWACS from my earlier post, but in the interest of providing the farms some entertainment I fleshed out the GWACS argument for a little fun and stated that I don't believe those scenarios to be likely.
While we intend to use it to demonstrate our earlier point about a generalized and unspecific inspiration behind the WWSD rifle we're also not "cloners" of guns and so these will be our ironic clone guns akin to being something like a Somalia clone build that some people do with a little humor added in for ourselves. I also don't have any kind of rifle or any sort of likeness to a mk12, so this would fill that role as well.

I didn't know Aaron Cowen had fuddy opinions on the FA, I've only seen some of his MRDS videos. I disagree with him on slaving your dot to the irons but otherwise found them informative.

There’s a lot of things to learn from Rittenhouse, anything about the forward assist is much further down the list vs tactics, techniques, and procedures.
Had Rittenhouse used a better quality AR15, better magazines, and better ammunition his use of the Forward Assist very likely may not have been necessary. Had he used it more prior to this incident and done better maintenance it may not have been necessary.
Training for the firearm to be fired off the shoulder, held weakly, or fired from the supine position, would reveal if it can actually run under those conditions. Not all AR15s can.
Having watched most of the trial as it aired far more relevant lessons;
1) Showing up to an active conflict zone with only one person you know and trust is not a good idea.
2) leaving the private property you are guarding is is both tactically and legally unsound.
3) running around doing every “side quest” is tactically and legally unsound.
4) doing the same alone and unsupported is even more tactically unsound.
5) not having a clear leader of the security force lead to everyone there acting independently
All of the above lead to the situation where he was alone, unsupported, and targeted by hostile actors.
He did exercise better shoot/no-shoot decisions under stress and while having his bell rung than most cops would, so props for that.
He is very lucky he survived the situation, and he is also very fortunate he survived in court.
There are more things to consider from the incident and their preparation going into it, but these are the things I easily remember 6 months after watching the trial, the video evidence, and the testimony.
So if what you got out of the Rittenhouse case is that the forward assist saved his life, you’re missing the forest for the trees.
