I have no doubt that the more politically-connected cartels are likely sending kickbacks to anti-gun politicians in border states. Another AWB would be a boon to them, and if one were to happen, you can expect the black market to be flooded with Norinco knockoffs of all your favorite gats.

I'd love one of them norinco side folder kalashes

I don't buy his excuse that the low pressure training ammo means you don't have to worry about barrel life. These things recoil a shitload with the 80k PSI ammo and you can't train to handle that without a lot of practice with it, it's like saving on money by using a 10/22 to train for shooting an AK, it isn't going to give you habit in handling the recoil characteristics.
Inevitably, they WILL have to train with the high pressure ammo a lot, which is hard to shoot, and high wearing.

It's like he's been fed some talking points by a Sig marketer and just uncritically regurgitates them.

If there were so worried about barrel life, why did they make it so incredibly easy to change the barrel out with a new one?

Changing the barrel on a rifle is something that's done by a company level armourer (who will make a point of not telling you that he's fucked your zero). Changing the Barrel on an SA 80 which is not the easiest rifle in the world to work on, takes about 20 minutes in a workshop.

I'm willing to bet that it'll still be the case that most barrels will still get replaced for actual physical damage rather than wear to the rifling.

Is there a profit? Yes. Then the Cartels would and do give a shit. Hell just the other day there was a A&N article on some Yakuza fuckwad getting busted for trying to smuggle anti-tank weapons (AT4 IIRC).

They wouldn't. Even if they would manage to turn a profit it would be a smaller and more risky profit than what they would turn from just dealing their narcotic of choice. Especially not to arm people that for years have been actively trying to (and mostly failing) fuck with their business. That's assuming they turn a profit, arms trafficking has been shrinking since the 00s, and the only reason it boomed in the first place is because all of a sudden you had all these post communist countries with weapons stockpiles that no one was keeping track of. Some 500k outdated and likely poorly maintained small arms lost in Afghanistan don't even compare to the millions of at the time modern and well stored small arms that flooded the weapons market during the 90s.

Not sure why some Yakuza guy offering weapons to Myanmar in exchange for narcotics is relevant.

That's just impossible. You can't stop people from posting on social media or talking about what their boyfriend/brother does in the Air Force at a bar. Moving military families out of the country, I mean at least someone in their close family must have a job right? Are these jobs going to be moved to Ramstein or Camp Bondsteel or is the US just going to take the economic hit?

Oh i'm sure you can brute force the information out of sheer autism, this entire forum is built around that, but the issue is this. If they're out of country...what are you gonna do? Are you gonna go after their friends and family in country? I'm sure that will win hearts and minds.

Some fuckery is afoot on Cokeman's channel

Two people I've subscribed to have had their channels hacked like that. It's an email posing as a sponsor deal hoping to nail the channel owner on the device that's used for two-factor authentication. They hijack the channel and stream pre-recorded clips of Elon Musk or Vitalik Buterin.

If I remember correctly a lot of the issues with the Saigas stems from people leaving the magazines loaded. From what I was reading they were designed to use shot shells with a full brass case and so the magazine spring is strong enough it'll deform plastic hulls after a relatively short while of leaving them loaded. I could be wrong on that though.

Fair enough, the plastic (or earlier, paper), hulls were never meant for sitting in box magazines. Kind of a wonder tube magazines do work, but i guess they squish a lot less front to back.

AKOU also talked in a recent video about someone impersonating major guntube channels spamming out some scam link.

I've seen a few fake Colion Noirs.

Well imagine trying to crush a piece of box tubing, or pipe. It's a lot easier to crush it inwards from the side walls than it is to compress it lengthwise.

I might be imagining things but after playing around with the springs for both, it seemed to me tube magazines for pump-actions don't have to exert as much force as box magazines for semi-autos, either.

They most likely don't since they're pushing laterally and they don't have to support the weight of the cartridges.

Edit to add: They also aren't fighting gravity nearly as much.

The IRA never raided any British Armouries. Some rifles were stolen, usually by local UDR and handed over to the loyalists.

I wonder what's to stop the Russians gathering up all that captured Ukrainian equipment and shipping it back across the border into Europe. Hey Ulster Loyalists how would you like a few ISO containers of Steyer AUG's. We'll even throw in a few captured AT-4's all with made in the EU stamped on them.

Or just go and find every disgruntled political group they can find and throw captured western weapons systems at them.

The US were smart with the Stinger and the seeker needs a bespoke battery that's impossible to bodge (unless the russians manufacture something for it). All the Danish Stingers that they were going to send to Ukraine were found to be unservicable, because the batteries were dead.

They didn't do the same thing with the Javelin though.... and Ukraine is flooded with them.

Russia won't even need to, the Ukes are already selling their largesse on the black market.
