You know why the SA80 wasn't an issue for years with most British Army soldiers? Because it was fucking miles better than an SLR (FAL) and the infantry trained around it by having the LSW gunner carrying spare bolts and gas parts. The firing pin shears on your twice monthly live firing... who fucking cares, at least you're not dragging an SLR as well as a belt of ammo for the GPMG and a mortar bomb.

Pretty sure the SA80 had massive fucking issues immediately after being introduced, considering the bongs had to shell out money to H&K to basically reengineer the whole platform less than 2 decades after intoduction.

Wasnt it because it was only used in training in western Europe, mostly kept inside armored cars and apc's, just a short distance relative to the factory and supply depot's?
Then it was sent to a sandy hellhole in 1991 and failed so hard the British had to contract a German manufacturer to fix a gun design by people who never shot a rifle in their life.
And I'm fucking sorry, but I find it fucking ridiculous that one guy in the platoon has got to carry everyone's spare parts like he's a rpg tank dude.

I'd also be pretty concerned if my combat rifles firing pin had regular breaking issues lmao.

Ian is worse because he deliberately hangs out with firearms manufacturers and museums rather than ex military YouTubers who'll tell him stuff he doesn't want to hear (incidentally watch the Q&A Ian did with Nicolas Moran and see the amount of time Ian screws his face when Moran tells him something he hasn't thought of before) ... such as why a forward assist and a three point sling are useful.

Not defending Ian because if he's not going to do the research he better just stay in his lane, but in his case in particular the reason for it is pretty obvious. He's interested in history, so he hangs out with historians and curators. He's not interested in fighting, so he doesn't really ask questions about combat. His knowledge of modern warfare is third-hand at best, and if you stop to look more closely it's just a couple rungs above "normie watching CNN" because he does have some knowledgeable friends he's talked to in the past. That's where his moments where he's caught completely by surprise by Nick's replies come from.

As I said, he really should just stay in his lane and be more clear that he's not familiar with the subject matter whenever it comes up. Just like he does when people ask him about archery or artillery. Because when someone who's knowledgeable about something talks about something he's not knowledgeable about, all he does is sound very confidently wrong and mislead his audience. It reminds me to a lesser extent of when of when Lindybeige, a guy whose entire output was based on ancient and medieval warfare at the time, did that idiotic "Spandau vs. Bren" video.

You're missing the point, for all its problems it was still better than an SLR. I went through training with an SA80 A1 and I never had any problems with it, and I put over 1000 rounds through it.

A soldiers life became easier when his SLR was taken away and replaced with an SA80.

It wasn't one guy in the Platoon, there were 2 LSW's in the section and they carried spares bolts, and gas parts.

It did fail in the desert but what the lessons the Army learned were that Mortars, GPMG's and Grenade launchers were the real killer, the problems with SA80 were way down the list, and again, weren't really a problem for the infantry who trained around it.

What the Infantry really wanted was more Thermal Imagers, night vision and an upgrade to the Warrior IFV.

The MG42 didn't really fufill the role of the Squad Automatic Weapon. If the Germans had gone with something like the ZB 26 (which parts of the Waffen SS did) then they wouldn't have had such a need for the STG 44.

Late in the war, the British rather than mess around with a self loading rifle like they had done in WWI, simply issued the infantry with another Bren gun per section, together with more snipers per Bn and the Infantry were happy. The MG42 was not a great squad level weapon, particularly in the attack.

Also I don't want to labor this point, but if you're in the light role infantry, most of the weight you're carrying is Ammunition for the Mortars, or Machine gun Platoon. A spare firing pin or gas plug isn't going to break your back.

I'm curious about your perspective on the SLR. Was it too heavy? Reliability?

That sounds great in garrison. That shit would get you killed if things kicked off.

I wonder if he knows that he doesn't have to respond to these.

If he did know that he never would have graduated to having his own thread.

Karl would have been the archetypal example of the one who calamitously chooses the mound of trannies, niggers and communists as the hill to die on, only if it weren't for the fact that he never appears to have had a choice on the matter in the first place. Karl, from all that can be seen, has always been one of them; a mulatto-loving roué that worships grotesque self-mutilating crossdressers, openly mingles with tankies , and thinly conceals his racial self-hatred behind the most utterly transparent of humour-flavoured veils.

While he might have felt more congenial in the past, this latest blowout ensures that he will shift evermore towards the aforementioned group of degenerates. Assuming the discord logs are accurate, Karl is close to grasping the title of a pariah he craves.

 

[Corn Flakes]

Karl [...] thinly conceals his racial self-hatred behind the most utterly transparent of humour-flavoured veils.

Minor point but it stuck with me ever since I heard it: in a fairly early Q&A when he and Ian were talking about their ancestries, Karl mentions he still has family in Norway but he has no contact with them since his own branch of the family left during WWII. One of the things he offhandedly mentions is that "they might have been Quislings, I don't know". I have a feeling he might actually know.

 

[Trig.Point]

I never touched one, everybody used wax lyrical about how great they were but while they kept Sterlings around for a while, the SLR's were binned pretty quickly.

The Sharpshooter rifle is a bit heavier than the old SLR but it comes with a decent optic and usually the guy carrying it has night vision and the laser range finder for the section (so he doesn't get extra belts for the GPMG though he might still get stuck with a mortar round, which you're totally going to drop of in the next couple hundred yards).

However forget about infantry, imagine you're a clerk in 1985 and once a year you have to qualify on the SLR.... that's going to be a couple of days of your life, by the time you've done zeroing, live firing and then the APWT (qual shoot).

With the SA80 you could just do the APWT, pass one your first attempt, and then you'd be good until next year.

It's a very odd statement to just throw out there like he did.

Yea, that's not exactly something you can easily bullshit since it's within living memory. He knows and just won't say.

 

[squirt reynolds]

I used to really enjoy watching the 2 gun matches, and I respected Karl's opinion on firearms enough to purchase a Walther CCP (kinda interesting piston pistol, trigger is shit tho) and two wwsd lowers. I still respect Karl's opinion and knowledge of guns and am very disappointed in these recent developments. I did know of the satanism shit, but had assumed it was just fedora-tipping, now I'm not so sure.

He seems to be afflicted with a heavy mix of autism and aspergers.
I'd say it's an atypical form of fedora-tipping rather than outright devil worship.

Agreed, back in the heyday of shit like r/atheism (lmao), all those reddit dorks would get super into parody religions like pastafarianism and satanism.

Isn't whichever 'satanic church' he's into very explicitly 'we don't actually believe anything it's just a LARP to send up religion', more or less?

Most Satanists are just fedora tippers making fun of Christians. Theistic Satanism is pretty rare.

 

[Mojo Thief]

Finally, a lolcow I'm familiar with long before I ever saw them on the farms!

I'll admit that while I did pick up on some weirdly bohemian vibes from the guy (I recall him bringing up Satanism at least once, and then I saw his girlfriend [male]), since I never really followed his WWSD campaign I never expected those would be the ones to expose him for what really he is lmao.

It's a shame, I liked his mud tests and the stories about famous shootouts. At least I still have Forgotten Weapons.

I'd still rather have an SLR. That gun is lighter than the SA80 and it shoots every time you pull the trigger.
