It really seems they want to have a reputation of being strict assholes with a high standard but when they've suddenly got a credible history of being assholes with a weird habit of hounding companies, they're surprised that people don't want to introduce their product to them. Russell complains about people posting about their wacked out lower receivers but likely isn't about to call out Karl for doing the same, and they're both seriously unpredictable.
I skipped through their longer review video and didn't run across that. I did however get to see a fatass truffleshuffling his way around a shooting course. Some random guy they asked pointed out how the stock was bendy, yeah that actually does look shitty. But the fatass complained that the stock didn't fit his face... maybe if he lost a solid 5 pounds of weight from his head alone and didn't have the equivalent of a fucking hamburger attached to the side of his face and was shaped like a normal human, it would fit? I also don't understand what anyone is supposed to take away from this tubby fuck waddling around with a rifle, any commentary he could possibly provide about how it handles, fits, etc. is automatically disqualified by being 100 pounds overweight as fixing that problem alone would make a massive improvement for how anything shoots so long as it isn't just constantly malfunctioning.
In defense of Karl and Sinistral it is a somewhat valid test for if you bought it to have something unique at shooting competitions. So you would want to know how it acts if it is shot while hot. Wandering groups would also indicate an improper heat treat.
In the video posted you see that the group size before and after firing is about 2.5 MOA which Karl says his WWSD will get 1-1.5 MOA all day and with a good load can even get sub minute. Which I frankly find really fucking fascinating considering the faxon barrel he tested on video was 2.5 MOA cold and heated up to 5.5 MOA after his magdump test. So by that on video performance the PSA jakal is the better performing rifle
There's that video of Karl and Ian just straight up bashing and mocking the staff from World of Tanks on an inrangeTV video when they approached them for a sponsorship. While I'm not a fan of freemuim video game slop maybe maybe outright attacking people offering you money is a bad idea.
They're far from the worst sponsor and they probably approached InRange as genuine fans (it’s not like the channel was ever that large). World of Tanks actually tries to make their tanks as accurate as possible so it makes sense that they’d like a historical firearms channel. The Chieftain is their head historian and Ian is (now) friends with him.
I should have mentioned Ian was a little more reserved in the video. I'm sure Karl's genius led the idea of fucking with prospective sponsors.
Ian is plenty happy to shill for a company if it advances his goals. Some of it is really obnoxious, but I'm not really complaining that much considering we know how much of pain YouTube is starting to be for gun channels. Man's got to make bucks somehow.
Considering it's always been Karl doing the "we're not going to sell out, maaaaaaaan!" shtick with InRange and turning off all monetization, while Ian, even before taking on sponsorships or partnerships, was very much in the "I need to make money" camp... pretty easy guess on whose brilliant idea it was to antagonize a major guntuber sponsor.
Hickok45 is ten times the shill Sootch00 is. Did you forget his S333 video?
This is correct, but that would also be why I said that if you are shooting competitions, get a better gun than whatever random crap PSA is slapping together to chase trends, and I wouldn't use their WWSD shit for that either. If you aren't going with some weird proprietary bullshit there are tons of vendors making quality parts, that doesn't take a rocket scientist to swap out.
I would love Karl/Sinistral to use the WWSD for the "1 MOA all day long"* challenge that Bloke on the Range and Polenar Tactical just put out there. Put some data behind those words. So many people love to spew about their sub MOA rifle, when it's a nice cherry picked group of three shots.
There are no reasonable gun control measures
I would consider a good foregrip and trigger discipline to be very reasonable measures for controlling your gun.
the average person is neither radical nor revolutionary potential. so long as "they got theirs," whatever that may be for them, they will cope and kick the can down the road all day long. this particular specimen is a baby boomer, the most conceited generation since Sodom. that man grew up in a world you can only dream of and pissed it all away on absolute hedonism, and could care less, nay would probably prefer, if the world ended when they died.
Remember, Brownells is terrible, not the homophobic and polygamous cult (Kingston family). Either he does not do any background research on the companies he platforms or he willfully ignores it until he steps in shit and then wants to get out of his business dealings. He even shilled desert tech's 10/22 chassis
