I feel kind of compelled to do this, complete with Nikes and all.

And not only that but the restrictions on those guns are very stringent. You can only use specific models, you can only use specific cartridges (most of which are not widely available, decidedly expensive, and will most likely require you to get into reloading), and even if you do show up with allowed models there are certain guns that require modification (removing ejectors/extractors on certain shotguns for instance).

More and more I wish for a better alternative to current Cowboy Action. Probably something with specific divisions for certain types of weapons and standards.

Say you have a division for where you can use anything reasonably close, such as a Ruger Blackhawk in .357, but then you have the more stringent division where the guns and ammo have to be more authentic, but WITHOUT the easy mode loads, you have to be loaded like you mean it. A cap & ball round would also be fun.

Actually, this is a much funnier idea. Show up like a fucking Dalton Brother out of Lucky Luke.

Bonus points if you can arrange a bunch of other guys of differing heights, and if you use nose and chin prosthetics.

The KP15 lower saves about 4 oz of weight from milspec lower and a USGI M4 stock.

That really isn't that much, but everything adds up, so I still think they're alright if you really want to save weight all over, just without going into the horrid skeletonized Gamer aesthetic.

This is an example with an older CAV15 lower, and you could still make a build lighter than this.

the vast, vast majority of SASS competitors in all divisions are shooting .38 special guns. the ones that don't use .38/357 are using .45 colt and you might have some shooting .44 mag

old west calibers like 44/40 38/40 32/20 44 russian 44 colt and so on are incredibly rare to see.

As someone who runs a .44/40 I can tell you getting the ammo is a fucking nightmare and when I can find it right now it's always north of $1.20 a shot.

it really benefits from reloading. similar to .45 colt in that regard, but with more savings. if i didn't reload for my .45 colts i'd be out like 10k or some ridiculous amount with the number of rounds i've fired.

Was unaware of this, my understanding was that the rules stipulated period cartridges and so 45LC was your cheap cartridge and 44/40 was the other common one.

nah. all the rules stipulate is:

2x single action revolvers. both fixed and adjustable sights are allowed.

1x lever action. any kind of iron sight.

1x shotgun. break actions must be non-ejectors but can be hammerless. pump actions (win 1897 is the only legal pump ever used AFAIK) can only load 2 at a time to keep the game fair.

Wild bunch division shooters can use a 1911A1 style 1911 instead of 2 revolvers, but are restricted to a winchester 1897 shotgun and model 92 and 94 lever actions. this division is scored separate from the rest.

Rimfire is for the kid division. Adjustable sights on revolvers put you in the B-move western division.

as far as i know there are no caliber restrictions except for safety restrictions at individual ranges. for example, you should not shoot buffalo bore elephant killing .45-70 rounds at a targets 10 feet down range. its a safety hazard and damages match equipment. it always seemed to me that there was a general discouragement of full power rifle cartridges because of what they might do to the steel but i don't think they were actually outlawed. SASS is not really structured to be a competitive sport. its meant to be fun first.

Or how the guns are set up with short throw levers, the absolutely ridiculously low powered loads etc.

Like someone else said earlier, you run those stages with a nerf gun and it wouldn't feel any different.
Click to expand...
Nerf guns don't handle like a real gun, but a good air soft is probably accurate.

The problem with the "SASS isn't a sport" thing is that has all the trappings of a sport, so it fools approximately everyone. I also agree that the stages are so close and undynamic that literally the only way it could even be fun is for the dress-up factor or because you're so old and fucked up its the only "dynamic" shooting you can do.

Karl blames it on legalities. A shame, would've been interesting to see some of this tried out on a real drone.
Click to expand...
And Karl has done plenty of research and that there is no footage of anybody shooting drones with a shotgun on youtube
oh wait, this is the same drone Karl is talking about being used in Ukraine
Fucking WILD how none of this footage exists and isn't as recent as 2 years old
or one that doesn't even destroy the drone.
and all of this nonexistant footage was found with the youtube seatch "shooting a drone with a shotgun" on the first page of results
We know Karl doesn't do a second take for his footage already but now we know he doesn't do any real research for the shit he says. Maybe Ian was the only one in the partnership that cared about doing research.
I don't deny the commercial drone operators license issue though but you'd think if you can deal with NFA bullshit you can deal with FAA bullshit if half the videos on youtube's front page have drone shots and presumably a commercial drone license it shouldn't be that cost prohibitive

Upon quick googling, that's less than 200 bucks. Shouldn't be that big of a deal for a video that potentially could be a great hit and although not monetized (like this prick always likes to remind us lol) could lead to further exposure. A standard range session for him probably costs more than that.

But then again, I don't think Karl treats this as a full-time job, not after the split with Ian anyways. So if he has to spend extra resources to put together a video, seems like he doesn't bother.

Even assuming he can't be arsed to get the license himself I'm sure he could have found someone, through social media at least, who had one who'd be willing to collab for a video (assuming he provides the drones).

A shame that the practical part of the video was lacking, Karl blames it on legalities.

I can get not wanting to fuck around with potential criminal charges for shooting down a drone, but I'm fairly certain there are ways around it. Not long ago Mark Rober did a video about anti-drone technology and even had a challenge with some other youtubers to create the best method of taking down a flying drone, and he doesn't appear to have ended up in the slammer.

At the very least he could have took a non-flying drone, or some other sort of simulacrum and strapped it to the target before shooting so we could get some idea of effectiveness. Shooting a simple steel plate as a comparison to shooting a drone is about as useful as a cock flavoured lollipop. Actually I take that back, faggots like Karl would probably find one of those useful.

Here is a video of shotguns being used against drones in combat in Ukraine. A team of Russians use O/U shotguns to take down a drone spotting for artillery.
interestingly enough one of the shells in the shotgun is a fizzle. big flash but velocity is slow enough you can see the shot column exit the barrel. another shotgun off screen takes the drone down. looks (to me) like they were using low powered ammo due to the light recoil. I've noticed that european/UK shotgun loads are a lot lighter than US equivalent loads. Euro shooters coming over to the US to shoot sporting clays almost always miss in front because they are used to using so much lead on their shots vs Americans using High velocity shells.

Considering the conditions I wonder if the ammo just got wet.
