Holy shit just pulled out my 92A1 and can confirm!
Disagree, I shoot at least 12-18 knife-wielding assailants while obesely shuffling my way to work every morning, without 3gun matches to hone my skills I'd be a total goner.
I guess it depends what you mean by practical. No shooting competition is ever gonna reflect 99.9% of defensive shootings for regulars citizens. and competitions more aimed at LEO/MIL aren't practical to everyday people. The most practical elements for an individual are speed, accuracy, and performing under stress and adding movement and physical events to shooting are probably the most practical way to do that and safer than actually shooting at the competitors. There are other competitions like the tactical games which takes it even farther with more physical events and a bunch of hard limits on equipment, which I wonder how Karl feels about them?
I can confirm that its not true for my late 70's model 92S but the decocker is a different shape and is super stiff.
He seemed to like tiger valley.
He's been dipping into the emergency uploads occasionally because of travel restrictions.
If he is, he's been planning it for a while because his video queue is/was a month long. No known mentions of queue length post-covid, but that's what it was before.
Doesn't really work reliably on my 5906 either, the decocker is bigger than the Beretta's and sits more centered on the slide.
the problem on the 92S is that the decocker isnt really a lever shape like on other models. its more like a button on a swing arm. there is very little area available to just push it forward. luckily Beretta saw this a fixed it on later models.
The thought that nobody's machined a FAL-style variable gas block for an AR yet does baffle me, though.
Cause direct gas is just better for us peasants. i think studies done on piston vs DI came to conclusion that piston systems only become worth it when full auto and suppressors were used extensively.
Oh, yeah, sure, but you could still put a turn-valve into a DI block to lower the pressure. Maybe not so variable as the FAL where half the settings don't work on half of the rifles, but at least a few different sized holes could be useful. </gunsperg>
What would be the worth of that though? 5.56 is already light recoiling to begin with, so unless you're running a suppressor or you're some high level competitor it probably doesn't matter all that much.
The absolute irony of that is - if I'm remembering correctly - that first generation of HK416 gas blocks was extremely overgassed when suppressed, the second gen had a port drilled in front which made the shooter slightly more visible at night (and a lot more visible under IR) and then only the third gen had a knob to twist it into suppressed mode.
GunThots are a little contradicting of themselves; making fun of instagram trigger tappers while giving off the same vibe themselves.
The merging of gun culture with dudebro shit is sickening. Herrera, James Reeves on TFBTV and Reno May all strike the same chord of gay and boring with me, Garand Thumb is similar but tolerable because of his actual experience but still can be cringe
Confidence and halfway decent production value gets you popularity.
