General GunTuber thread

From what I understand Hawaiian shirts were well liked by plainclothes officers and detectives in the hotter states because the patterns help break up the printing of a concealed pistol when only wearing one layer. So there was always a faint link with gun culture, even if it predated a lot of legal victories in the concealed carry aspect.
This shit kicked off right about when it became fashionable to bring back stuff from the 70s/80s/90s and Hawaiian shirts were a perfect way to have a laid back attitude in contrast with the 5.11 pants and polo SHEEPAWG look. I think Dugan Ashley was one of the trendsetters because he was doing a 70s look and wearing 80s tracksuits.
Speaking of Dugan, does a young Hickok45 remind you of anyone?

I've always thought young Hickok and Dugan shared some resemblance, though this angle probably helps.
Never been one to keep up with Dugan, does he still exist on this Earth?

Not wowed by this, I must say, those plastic magazines don't seem good at all, and the rifle seem like it could use a lower gas setting. The cracked handguard and bent rear sight isn't endearing either.

At least he doesn't cover it up, shows it like it is.

I'm a big fan of those notched safety levers coupled with bolt hold-open magazines. They make reloads a lot faster, and eliminates a lot of extraneous handling & cycling. Ian didn't show it in the video because he's not used to the slightly different manual of arms; just remember to flip the safety up when the mag locks back, then swap magazines. Putting the safety back on fire should send the bolt forward & chamber a new round, unless the mag sucks and/or using cheap steel-case or crusty brass.

I like hold-open a lot, which is why I've been salivating over a Vz.58 (with a bolt-release) for a while. The hold-open on the Serbian AKs is appealing, but I wish they had gone all the way with it, having to engage the safety or just letting the bolt slam home when you take the magazine out honestly disappoints me.

FK BRNO developed an autistic gun, and they found the only man autistic enough to put it through paces.

Any Paul Harrell episode with that much autism, plus a starring role for the elusive bear meat target, is a good one. Also, look at the size of that cardboard score sheet.

The gun doesn't really interest me as a shooter (9mm and .45 are plenty good for me), but I like how it looks. Put a red dot on it and that thing would feel right at home as a cyberpunk prop.

I liked the FK Brno initially for the same reason I wanted a Hudson H9; they both look like something from Bladerunner or Robocop, and the Hudson actually did function as advertised (until they made them not).

But the round itself is what really caught my attention, shame it's essentially a doomed cartridge. The 5.7mm is still around because of the P90, and I don't forsee Ruger (or anyone else outside of boutique builders) doing the same unless FK or someone does a PCC in 7.5 Brno.... which would be admittedly sweet.

I've always been a fan of 7.62 Tokarev in practice & concept. And except for 5.7 & .357 Sig there hasn't been anything like it, but evidently the 7.5 vastly exceeds both in capability AND cost.

I still don't know that I'd carry one in bear country though; it being a tilting barrel automatic, and get pushed out-of-battery by pressing the muzzle against a bear.

Okay, shit. I hadn't even though about the possibility of a PCC in 7.5 FK. Now that would have my attention. Fired from a longer barrel, that thing might actually be comparable to .30 Carbine. I wonder what the accuracy would be like in that situation, too.

By my haggard maths, 7.5 would greatly exceed .30 Carbine from a 6" barrel, along with the benefits of being a bottleneck cartridge vs. straight. It would probably need to be a new design, although adapting an existing intermediate caliber carbine might work, considering the round's power.

And I've actually heard that they can be made from 10mm brass, so this is interesting (and discouraging), from Wikipedia. One of my planned offsets for ammo costs was based on using 10mm brass, so that's right out.
Contrary to some published information, this cartridge is not based on a necked down 10mm auto case, and hand loaders cannot and should not attempt to make a 7.5 case from a 10mm auto case, as the case is longer, thicker, and operates at significantly higher pressure. Therefore, necking down and stretching the 10mm auto would create much thinner walls at the critical shoulder/neck area and can potentially be very dangerous to the user.

I don't know much about FK BRNO, but I see that gun and the Tyger Claws combat theme plays in my mind.

The pistol itself seems like it would have a good enough future as a hunting pistol in general, but I feel the setup with the recoil buffer would be more exciting to me for some large bore Magnum cartridge like .45 WinMag or .50 Action Express, because I like heavy projectiles.

The 7.5mm cartridge has great potential to become the M1 Carbine of the 21st century, imagine a shortened down AR15 receiver and BCG, 12.5" barrel and built overall to be lightweight. Easy to shoot, can defeat IIIA vests, and actually has pretty decent terminal ballistics after cutting its way through said armor.

I mean, the whole interview with Kommando Blog made people do a double take. My guess is that his MS is fucking with his mental state because he'd go on full on rants about the Jews on twitter which turned people off of his content.

Alongside that, the one writer that actually did on the ground reporting on the 2A activism side of things got fired for bullshit reasons by an idiot with a power trip but that's neither here nor there.

>when you get rejected and disowned by /k/ but keep going with it until underageb&s are convinced you're celebrities
Did they nuke their YouTube channel and just go with podcasts? I can remember it being a lot less professional back in the day with very shitty content and now it seems they just copy/paste.

I don't know, honestly. I know that when someone(not certain who) was pushing for more professionalism they got talked down to. I know that they went to Shotshow on someone else's recommendation, but outside that I'm not too sure. I know they copy/paste because one of the writers got given a 1911 in 9mm for reviews and never actually returned it last I checked. It's some weird shit, but I don't know if that counts as lolcowdom.

I think the writer that got fired does his own thing now and actually is making a graphic novel. I'll have to figure out who they were, but it was their article that put TKB on the map(their analytics were more than they'd ever gotten on an article) within that industry before they fired him, took down his article, and then just kinda made him persona non grata.

This MAT-49 in 7.62x25 has only stoked my thirst for a Tokarev (or that fuckin' 7.5 Brno) chambered pistol-caliber carbine. I'm impressed it didn't dance around as much as one would think. The PPSH doesn't either, but those things are heavy.

7.62x25 recoils less than 9mm. My yugo M57 is much softer shooting than my 92S.

I dunno.... I have TT-33s in both calibers, and it's a tough call; mostly depending on what flavor of 9mm is being used. The only time the 9mm has definitively been harder to control is with really hot +P.

As for the 92S, I've never been able to shoot them well; the grips are just all wrong for my hands, & slender singlestacks are a lot easier to shoot than fat doubles.
