Those retards also thought the M14 was better than the M16 and back in WW2 thought bolt actions were better than semi autos for fudd reasons. The marines disliking the FA should be a point in favor of it.

Didn't they just replace their 1911s in 2019 or so?

For Karl pointing to a SEAL complaining that his HK416 seized up, I'll hazard a guess that there's something about how the HK416 is an ungodly mutation between the AR15 and AR18 as a contributing factor. You don't get things like carrier tilt on an old SP-1 or AR180.

The bottom of the 416 bolt has a ramp in the rear to address carrier tilt. The difference in tolerancing is probably not an issue, because the FA is just a ratchet and paw system. Hard to mess that one up. In that specific case it's just the fact that the FA is not a panacea and people hitting it as a immediate reaction to a stoppage will eventually encounter the mythical bad round that causes more issues than it's worth.

Yeah they tried to hang on to the 1911 with the M45A1 during the 2010s but the fact is that the people who usually get to carry pistols as secondaries into combat had the choice to bring Glock 19s like the rest of SOCOM.

His least expensive square shelter cost $49k and the least expensive corrugated tube cost $58k three years ago.

What sizes? Because if I'm not remembering wrong, the cheapest square shelter has less area than the cheapest corrugated tube.
You've probably seen this video doing the comparison between Atlas and Rising S

One can't deny that from this guy's presentation, Rising S is doing the "jUsT aS gOoD" thing with bunkers. From the advertising, Atlas actually seems to build stuff that could be used as an extra division on a house while Rising S is doing bunkers for people to lock themselves into and be miserable until DC stops glowing green. However, he's still big mad about the Demolition Matt and while his points are valid, it seems petty to keep bringing it up.

didn't he get busted for weed (I think it was in oil form)? I remember that happening to one of the big channels.

That was FPS Russia. He can't legally own guns now.

Demo ranch guy kinda seems like the type of dude who acts like a shit to service employees because he thinks making more money makes him a superior person.

He definitely comes off as someone annoyingly positive. Probably praises God 10 times a day for his success too...

Has successful Veterinary office and fell into one of the lowest effort youtube content genres. Gets the YT "family friendly" bucks unlike most of guntubers as most the content is dumb enough for children.

I really don't care for his content, but I'm never going to bemoan someone for making a lot of money out of something they like doing. He gets to buy and fire a ridiculous amount and variety of guns and all he has to do is record himself being zany with them. He can probably bash out three or four videos in a single good day of work. It's a good gig if you can pull it off, and I know I couldn't.

Both he and Scott from KB are mongoloid idiots who treat their guns as toys instead of the deadly weapons they are. I heartily dislike both of them.

Bring on the top hats.

Like we've discussed previously on this thread, that's really the saving grace of his channel. Other guntubers have said on podcasts that they were impressed when they saw Matt's fans in real life because they're mostly children. And just like videogames the channel injects a little gun culture without coming in hot with the "from my cold dead hands" spiel.

 

[Uranus Pink]

They're called crayon eaters for a reason.

At least those crayon eaters at the front came around very fast to the superior semiautomatic and full automatic weapons in WWII. The crayon eaters in the Puzzle Palace however....

8'W 12'L 8'H for the smallest square. The mini tube is 10'W 13'H.

I saw the one from years ago where a guy who bought from Rising S wanted this guy to fix the bunker what was taking on water and rusting. It looked like RisingS used a lot of off-the-shelf prefab parts which weren't good for the use case.

If you're trying to build a community or a subculture, you gotta start young and you gotta start with entertainment. The Junior Woodchucks did a fantastic job recruiting for the Boy Scouts, much better than any troop leader showing up for lectures/demonstrations in classrooms in the 60s and 70s. If DemolitionRanch is the price to pay for a new generation of kids developing an interest in guns despite their neurotic parents' protests, I'm fine with that.

I agree with this 100%. Demos audience it teenage boys who go “woooow desert eagle? Woooooow dude”. It’s obvious that he appeals to the FPS call of duty teens who want to see their favorite “epic sniper rifle” shoot a bunch of random shit.
I still don’t like his content but I’m honestly fine with his content, don’t hate it, as long as it gets those young men interested in firearms, since there’s no gun clubs or anything for them. The only thing I’d gripe about is maybe have some videos going over basic fire arm safety on his homepage so the first thing those young men see is that, but that’s about it

Garand Thumb once said he went to a Demo Ranch fan event with the man himself and he said nobody there was older than 10

Sounds right.

 

[Full Spectrum]

There's a lot of "my way or the highway" when it comes to gun minutiae, and most of it is completely pointless ego-stroking.

Like, I'm not a fan of forward assists. But that's because I much prefer reciprocating bolt handles, something with a solid connection to the bolt/carrier itself. And with the AR platform in particular the charging handle just feels awkward to me. Even though I've got one and I'm used to it, I still think it feels weird to operate. But the key is that I don't care if anyone disagrees with me. If you like forward assists, good on you. There are perfectly good reasons for it, as the army concluded. If you dislike them, that's fine too. Same deal: there are reasons not to like it, otherwise every rifle without a reciprocating bolt handle would have one. Neither position affects my opinion on the matter, or their relative value.

It happens every time you see two opposing views that are mostly inconsequential. People latch on to their position and won't budge. Some are pro-skub, others are anti-skub, but in the end it makes no difference. Think of it like fandom. It's the gun-nut version of shipping and OTPs.

I think the big hangup, at least for me and maybe the same reason as Karl (but with the opposite perspective) is that people are advocating its use to others which is a lot worse than just having an opinion of it. I, for instance, don' t care that much about what people think about it, but the problem I have is when people like Clint Smith or Karl go and say things that are demonstrably false. I'm hesitant to actively prescribe it since I'm not anyone special, but I can at least present the test data, actual rationale, ichord hearings, and the history of the device from what is in short bad history from historians that were more concerned with other subjects.

Hence the appeal to Stoner (who never did a tour with the M16), the airforce (who generally just guards airbases), on the subject of the forward assist.
For Karl pointing to a SEAL complaining that his HK416 seized up, I'll hazard a guess that there's something about how the HK416 is an ungodly mutation between the AR15 and AR18 as a contributing factor. You don't get things like carrier tilt on an old SP-1 or AR180.

The 416 and many euro guns are overgassed. As an example of this you see B&T /OSS "flow through/reduced backpressure" styled suppressors more popular and more necessary than US mil spec guns vs euro guns like the 416. Stuck cases will happen more often with guns that are extracting earlier (from overgassing.)

The other thing too is that if what @UVB-76 was saying is true that he just slammed the forward assist before performing SPORTS that isn't the forward assist's fault, that's pure operator error. Now you could attempt the argument that having the forward assist in the first place is inviting that type of fuck up but then by that logic so is a reciprocating charging handle since you could make that same fuckup with one of them.

Not really operator error on his part. The case was already stuck from the malfunction before the guy would have noticed anything. So there's four outcomes from a stuck case: 1) a double feed where bolt's extractor slipped off the rim from the gas pressure of the stuck round actuating the piston, 2) the same thing as aforementioned but not enough power to pick up a new round (short stroke), 3) the piston was actuated by the gas but the extractor held onto the severely stuck round and the rim stayed intact, 4) or the same as aforementioned but the rim sheared and no amount of sports/tap-rack/etc would fix it.

In case 1 you need to unload the gun and probably still need a cleaning rod to tap it out. In case 2 you could have a short stroke and you might need the FA to slip over the stuck case's rim if it could be pulled out without a cleaning rod. In case 3 it wouldn't make a difference. In case 4 it doesn't make a difference because you will never get that round out without a cleaning rod or some kind of tool to grab the part of the rim that isn't sheared.

People are scared to put some 120 pounds of transferred force if they tried their hardest to hit the FA to the point of being painful, but the powder is putting 50k+ psi pressure on the case walls which is somehow nothing to worry about at the same time. If you were to try to use a forward assist to get a case stuck without firing it, it's not ever going to happen like it will with shooting in a rough chamber.

Those retards also thought the M14 was better than the M16 and back in WW2 thought bolt actions were better than semi autos for fudd reasons. The marines disliking the FA should be a point in favor of it.

The M14 at least came with a chromed chamber, cleaning kit, and was actually a finished product when it was first issued.

Is Karl doing ok? Looks like he’s been gaining a lot of weight lately. I don’t watch InRange regularly but I check in every so often and saw his 1873 Winchester spinner video and he doesn’t look like he’s doing that good.
As much as he is annoying, I don’t want anything bad to happen to the guy.

Actual major problems with you tend to make you lose, not gain weight.

And I used to feel like that too until he was all WHITE EXTINCTION NOW.
