Sig isn't even an American company, lmao

 

[Seafarer]

I actually used that argument a couple times in college with reasonable success. I always preferred pointing out that my at-time girlfriend is five foot even and a hundred and ten pounds. Her single recourse against violent men is a firearm of some variety, because I can't follow her around twenty-four seven.

Basically, call it misogynistic, because it is, in a roundabout way.

I find it funny that libtards will point to drug laws and even laws for things like vagrancy and jaywalking as being inherently racist due to disproportionately effecting black people, but will never apply the same thing to gun control laws. In my experience of reading negro shenanigans in the news felon-in-possession-of-a-firearm charges seems to be the most common misdemeanor they face apart from drug charges.

Also hop posted the innocent clip that YouTube is freaking out over

Rumble out here taking strays, lmao.

whatever Glock did to slow down the G18 so it wasn't full cyclic

I'm pretty sure it is full cyclic, real g18s also shoot fast as fuck.

The best part about Glock switches is that they're literally just a dissconnector for your dissconnector.

As soon as I saw how one worked, I went "huh, that's really simple".

I mean, the people trying to sue Glock for making an easily convertible pistol may have a bit of substance there, but they can still fuck themselves because the 2A is absolute, and I should be able to walk out and buy a G18C off the shelf as God and George Washington intended, anyways.

 

[Swole McPole]

Also the comments are hilarious

"Khyber Pass wants their pot metal castings back" made me LOL.

He clearly IS one for anal intercourse because his Facebook followers have just fisted him like a man in a Robert Mapplethorpe photograph.

Sig Sauer Inc. basically is. All the other branches have closed, with the exception of Sig AG, which makes a rifle for the Swiss military.

The original Sig is now entirely s packaging company and has spun off all the Sig Sauer brands entirely. Sig now makes bladders for box-wine and those pouches your kids squeezable applesauce comes in.

They are still owned (and ran) by the German company L&O Holding.

They are NOT American, and saying that they are American is a lie.

You know what American company SHOULD have won the pistol contract?

Smith and Wesson.

I say this as primarily an HK and Glock enjoyer. Smith and Wesson makes a perfectly adequate pistol in the M&P line. You can even get them with a thumb safety if you so choose.

 

[World Famous Quasi Payer]

Here is another good one:
He and his wife were nearly killed by a charging cape buffalo on his hunting concession in south africa (?). he made a after action report on it. he killed it with a .577 nitro.

This blew my mind, so I had to check my fridge to confirm...

This is actually not all that uncommon. SIG started making industrial equipment and wagons before they got a contract to make rifles (which they only won because one of their founders was a gunsmith in his off time).

Husqvarna was the same way. Started making non-military things but were contracted to make rifles and that side of their business grew out into a massive industrial concern before being spun off (to Carl-Gustav). now they are back to making tools etc like they began with.

comes from a time when any machine shop or factory could be easily re-tooled to make guns. especially common in Europe and Asia where the state was the source of most firearms sales. Here in America there was a large enough civilian market to create firearms only industrial interests.

International Harvester Co. is an example in the US. In the 50s they were making M1 Garands. Otherwise they were known for farming equipment and other vehicles and construction equipment.

GM also made the grease gun during the war (and 500,000 M16s during Vietnam). Singer sewing made 1911s and so did Union switch & signal, but i think those are a little bit different. they were contracted to make guns during a huge war and pretty much stopped as soon as the contracts were pulled at the end, and it never took over their business.

When i think GM or International harvester my mind does not jump to firearms immediately, even though that would be my only interest in them.

One of these days I will get my hands on an IBM M1 carbine, would be a neat bit of history to own.

 

[JoeBidenSniffMe]

The "girl" shooting is a guy 100% imo.

I'm kinda leaning towards girl for the speaking parts to the camera / voiceover. I suspect they are playing some weird game where there are wearing the same outfits. Who the fuck knows why though.

I heard she is married and her husband edit her video for her to get views. Pretty mush give your cute wife/girlfriend a gun and film her shooting it, boom profit.

Don’t forget Winchester Ammunition, whose parent company is Olin, a major chemical manufacturer. Ironically the original business was Western Cartridge Company. The TLDR is: Frank Olin was loading shotgun shells in Illinois for sale out west using bought components. When Winchester and Remington cut off independent loading operations from component sales he built an entire operation to make ammo from raw materials including a power mill, paper mill for shotgun shells, brass mill, and primer manufacturing. They proceeded to expand into chemical manufacturing in the 1950s His son John Olin is the one who invented ball powder and they got their final fuck you to Winchester in the 1932. Winchester went bankrupt during the depression and they were able to buy it for pennies on the dollar.

Ruger has a very successful side business doing investment castings for a wide variety of products.

I found this out doing a project for a finance class in college. I knew Ruger is freakishly good at casting and MIM parts, but reading through their financial statements and seeing the amount of revenue they make just doing that for other companies was wild.
