I will concede that the forward assist is useful when you’re using a bargain budget M&P Sport

The same time spent mashing the forward assist is better spent running the charging handle. Eugene Stoner himself agreed.

I was going to mention it: the kid was using likely the cheapest AR he could get, and he admitted on the stand that he bought that ammo because it was the cheapest he could find. Frankly, at that point you're going to need something to help with feed malfunctions.

We had this discussion a while back in the thread, there are reasons militaries still insist on including the forward assist in rifle drills.

One is that doing a forward assist is an extra oppotunity to identify a malfunction before you actually go to fire, particulary on the load.

Actually laying the side of your hand on the cocking handle while it probably won't clear a malfunction will let you know that theres something wrong.

Also consider the typical military rifle. It's probably 20+ years old, has had dozens of not very careful owners. It's issued to say a Vehicle Mechanic who deploys on a 3 week exercise and has to drag the rifle with him everywhere while he's actually doing a job spannering.

The only time he gets to fire the rifle is a short range package towards the end of the exercise, and even though it's clean, it needs a little bit more careful handling that a rifle taken out of a case on a range somewhere.

Anyway I don't know what the US military will do but the UK military will still insist on the Forward Assist, the same way they'll insist on being able to safe a weapon while it's unloaded, and having a seperate change leaver and safety catch.

I’ve had so many customers over the years use the forward assist to beat steel case ammo into the chamber that is misfeeding from questionable magazines. One even ruptured the casings doing so.

That said this is a subject I don’t really care much about. We sell uppers with and without forward assists. Buy whatever you want.

Won't always give a useful result. If the carrier is hanging up/slowing down because something is wrong with the magazine, which can be a number of things, doesn't even have to be a misfeed (hell, the magazine can be fine and there could simply be dirt between the carrier and receiver wall), pulling the carrier back and letting the spring shove it again may just make the same thing happen again.
With the assist you can push the carrier past the point where it slows down and ensure that a round is chambered, it doesn't have to involve any kind of obstruction in the chamber, and it doesn't have to involve the magazine trying to feed the cartridge at a funny angle.

In a situation like Kyle's, where split seconds matter, I think that the assist was slightly faster, but more importantly much more definite, getting that single shot off was critical to making Gaige not pull the trigger, whatever else happens after that has to take second priority.
Could this have been avoided with a better quality rifle, a better quality magazine, and better quality ammunition? Probably, but fact is still that the assist helped in a situation which was less than ideal.

Additionally, various different people who shoot AR15s suppressed a lot tell me that since the gun gets dirtier faster, the forward assist gets a lot more useful.

I’ve had so many customers over the years use the forward assist to beat steel case ammo into the chamber that is misfeeding from questionable magazines.

That's one of those things about contexts, it's certainly a bad idea to tap the forward assist when a cartridge isn't feeding, just like it's not a useful approach to tap the slide on a pistol to try to make a misfeed feed. Magazines can also be damaged in the field, so what was once a good magazine may stop being one.

That said this is a subject I don’t really care much about. We sell uppers with and without forward assists. Buy whatever you want.

For sure, there's plenty of room in the world for both kinds of uppers, and I see the appeal in the slick-side rifles. I'm simply of the opinion that the forward assist isn't useless, and that quite a lot of criticism against it isn't actually very poignant.

At the very least, the people in the AR purist community who lambast the military's choice to require one saying "It's a solution searching for a problem" are once more proven wrong. I imagine this video will be used to garner salty tears on arfcom well into the future.

[CyrusHowler]

You guys sure like creating your own narratives where he’s the boogie man. I watched most of the trial over the past 2 weeks. We talked about it at length on the drive to Utah for Desert Brutality.

After the verdict all he really had to say was that he hopes Kyle doesn’t get exploited by people wanting to profiteer off of him. I don’t see how anyone could really disagree with that.

As I said over a year ago, the evidence showed lawful self defense. If there is any good that came out of this trial it’s that millions of people saw how corrupt and underhanded the state is when they want to make an example of someone. And even with all the dirty shit the prosecution tried to pull, it was still so clear cut that he was acquitted on all counts.

Russ, I said I could IMAGINE it happening. I never said that it did happen. Basically what I meant was that it wouldn’t surprise me if Karl would’ve gotten ass blasted over it.
As for his real reaction, it doesn’t surprise me that he first thinks about people exploiting Kyle rather than just being happy the guy didn’t get thrown in prison for the rest of his life for defending himself.
Reminds me of his reaction to Kentucky Ballistics’ accident. More concerned with being angry about not having a first aid kit rather than being happy the F-ing guy is alive.

Oh, jeez. Don't remind me. That was almost as cringy as Taofledermaus' reaction.

Yes, Karl. Your first aid kit has likely helped Ian when he had his own gun-go-boom fucky-wucky, but I have feeling any time spent trying to patch Scott up instead of driving his ass to meet the EMTs on the way to the hospital would have lowered his chances of survival. Pretty sure Karl doesn't pack any thumbs in his kits, after all.

 

[CyrusHowler]

My personal problem with Karl is that he's kind of sending the message to the wrong people that they are welcome in "The Gun Community" when they're not and they're creeping in on it, and when this has happened with internet communities in the past only bad things have happened.

For Example, the Tactical Troonfriend interview. Do you have any idea as to what kind of message Interviewing an Autogynephile send to people? it sends the message that "The Gun Community" is safe for the Gross, misogynistic fetishists that Autogynephiles are. And with Autogynephiles comes leftoids, this message has reverberated so much, so far and wide that I have seen leftoids actually reccomending InRange to their leftoid buddies as a "non chud channel". What happens when some Bitcoin rich AGP coomer buys Arfcom and starts having a meltdown over users calling him a gross man in a dress? I'll tell you what happens, Arfcom dies. What happens when the hecking based and gunpilled commies take over all the internet gun communities and turn them into a discussion space about BIPOC LGBTQIAP+++++ gun rights philosphy?

Now you'll probably counter with "we need everyone we can get" and yeah to an extent I can agree with you but not when it comes to leftoids and Autogynephiles. Mainly because there are so few of them (and even fewer who are friendly to the political goals of "The Gun Community") that pandering to them actually puts off way more bigot chuds than it pulls in Socialist Trannoids.

And yeah I understand it's Karl's channel and he's free to do what he wants in addition to holding the position that he holds but I stand firm that he's attracting the wrong people. Garand Thumb and love them or hate them, Trex Arms pull in much higher quality people.

Don’t forget that TacticalGirlfriend said in a livestream that the Black Panthers were just trying to protect their own communities.
This little cumslut literally had the audacity to stump for the biggest Black Supremacist group on the planet at the time.

Which is why I will always say, Femboy Firearms >>>>>>>>> Tacticool Girlfriend.

Oh, jeez. Don't remind me. That was almost as cringy as Taofledermaus' reaction.

Karl can literally never have a normal reaction.

The "shitshow" he's referring to was entirely the conduct of the prosecution. Also, trying to do the "both sides" thing with Grosskreutz is basically ignoring everything about the actual circumstances of their mutual encounter and Lefty's own testimony.

No aneurysm, but just annoyance at him engaging in the same strawmanning he engaged in with that last video that was posted in this thread.

Also, using the Waukesha Escape of Peace to try to justify blocking roads to through traffic during their "mostly peaceful" protests is just fucking laughable.

I don't know what's scarier. Someone like Karl who is simply a retard or Deviant who tries to intellectualize his retardation.

Deviant made a decision about Kyle on day 1.

Gee, mister. I wonder whether Ollam ever corrected himself on that demonstrably false claim of Rittenhouse being "caught". The kid by all accounts turned himself in as soon as he managed to stabilize his nerves.

(Yes, this was sarcasm.)

Deviant's been brought up before and his hypocrisy is astounding in being a hacker in support of government overreach coming from the left direction.
Karl has some redeeming qualities when he's not being a dick to spite his fans.
