Friend of mine who's a Vietnam vet loves his M14 that's what me and a few of our mutual friends got him for his birthday it's the new world in models but it's still the wood furniture version.
The M16 does actually have a lot of benefits but there wasn't a conspiracy against it it was literally just corporate greed getting people killed because they were lying about Chrome line barrels and that you never need to clean it.
Still not as much as a scam as the US army's new rifle that uses a cartridge that is only made by the company that also manufacturers the rifle that only this rifle takes man that's next level of graft

I just wish we adopted the XM8 back in the late 2000s.

Ian's video about Gilboa Snake (a double barreled AR) just got taken down from YouTube. I wonder if this is just an isolated case or YouTube making another crackdown at stuff?

Daily reminder that the Finns were considered borderline pariahs and a "bad example" during the Cold War because they tried to play smartly with their powerful neighbour. If the Finns should be praised for something, it's not for memetic and exaggerated feats of arms that are annoyingly spouted because it's cool to hate on dilapidated Russians, but for a incredibly smart application of realpolitik and pursuit of national interests.

I mean, just check what happened to everyone else.

I don't disagree that they made calculated decisions, but ask a Finn today how 1944-1991 was and you'd think that the Finns were ready to burn St. Petersburg on a daily basis.

HK made a lot of mistakes that ensured the death of the XM8:

• didn't create a legally distinct offshoot headquartered in the US
• didn't create giant factories in the US in politically advantageous regions for congressional support
• didn't hire recently retired E9s and O6+s into high-paying no-show "consultant" jobs

Which are all mistakes that SIG thankfully avoided, ensuring that the XM5 (that no unit is fielding 2+ years on) succeeded (in earning a $4.5B contract)

I really disagree, it’s in a sort of uncanny valley where it’s unorthodox and strange but without any of the retro cool or charisma you get from like a g11 k1

In the UK there's a lot of whinging about Lewis Machine & Tool Company and Knights Armament, and how the MOD has such a love affair with them that they haven't pressed them into setting up a manufacturing presence in the UK.

There's a load of shit tier ex Army officers rebadged as defence experts whinging usually on twitter about how the UK needs a 'national champion' and indigenous rifle production (it didn't stop them from driving Sterling and Parker Hale into the ground). Really what they want is consultancy contracts.

I actually think the SA80 has reached such mythical status, in the realms of procurement fuckups, that instituationally the MOD have decided they'll never again let something as basic as the rifle be fucked up. The Lt Col's (retd) can concentrate on siphoning cash off the larger complex procurement projects.

Ironically because there's such a glut of spare parts for the SA80, the fucking thing could stay in service for the next 30 years.

Recommend the new deltathirtyfour video if you're into practical/tactical rifle shooting.

It's more of a general skill and equipment evaluation than a traditional competition recap.

I don't think a single issue can sum up a person's entire political viewpoint. It's like saying that JK Rowling is right wing because of her opinion on trans people. She might lean right on one thing, but 95% of her other opinions are left-leaning.

No, no, that's the classical understanding of the matter. See, if you're even .01% right on an issue you're a LITCHERAL nazi genociding poor twoons. Now that's modern political philosophy.

I think the ukraine war and the gaza fuckup where both sides had no body armor after just a couple weeks of mobilization (Israelis running around with 1970s flakvests and M1 helmets for rear guard despite having a enormous military budget) completely killed the "we must retire 556 because everyone has plates and shoots from 1000 yards away like in afghanistan!!"

This is a pretty cool video though compared to the usual competition recap shit. That guy losing some of his shit cause he had a heavy pack and too large of a gun to crawl through the tunnel was interesting, things some people don't think about.

Roy Harrell tried to sell some DVD's and merch, to a highly negative response:

(PreserveTube)
TL;DW - A new $30 Patreon tier was made where the first 100 who signup would get a DVD ("Paul Harrell, Mass Shootings III".)

This caused Roy to backtrack, although there's a lot more positive reception on that post:

Honestly just do a run of the jackets harrel wore and it would sell like water, even if it costed 100$ per jacket.

A bit of stitching on the inside with a sentimental message or a quote like "I'll let you be the judge" and mark the jackets up 100. Tell everybody it's a 100 markup and people would buy them.

 

[ChampFantana]

I'd happily buy a T-shirt to help the channel out.

 

[Samhain]

I don't buy YouTuber merch, but it would be difficult to resist a Paul Harrell action figure.

Included accessories:
THE jacket
M16A2
Beretta 92FS (M9)
Meat target with high tech fleece bullet stop
Off brand soda bottles
Little boxes of ammo that fit in the pockets of the jacket
Box of Pop Tarts (unfrosted strawberry flavor)
