He can't sort out the framing sound and color correction for his history videos, but he's doing shit like this for he Q and A's!

Probably just wants it to look like the movie A Scanner Darkly, based on perpetual cuc... I mean infosec professional favorite Phillip K. Dick's work.

It absolutely is. InRange was supposed to be a Patreon-exclusive "show" with no public videos save for occasional shilling on Forgotten Weapons - It's been years since, but Karl was spurred on with the initial distrust and dislike for paywalls from his entire potential audience. He only broke down and made a YouTube channel because, hey, nobody likes paying for something they can't see beforehand, what a shock.
Three years ago he attempted to bring a cop-run podcast(main site / archive) into his cult of personality, failing miserably in attracting any interest to their tiny viewerbase with the usage of a crippled and freshly schizophrenic CarnikCon dragged out of retirement, as seen here.

Unfortunately all of his angry rants posted to InRangeTV were deleted as was his workout routine, which, judging by this injury-causing competition drill, should not surprise you when it showed a previously fat Karl flipping a fuckhuge tire about ten times.

The P&S friendship is a lot deeper than that - the much, much more recent 7.62 service rifle shootout on Inrange was a co-production. Matt Landfair sometimes posts on the Inrange Discord - I haven't looked in forever, but I'd love to know how Karl and Matt get on now.
 
Any recommendation for other video creators that do blackpowder, cap-and-ball stuff like Karl does? There's a lot of people who do blackpowder vids, but unlike Karl, many of them are focusing on the modern competitive shooting aspects or the strictly historical reenactment side. The thing I liked about Karl is that he looks at the practical aspect of how people might have been using blackpowder arms under real life conditions, which may not be evident when exclusively drawing from historical military manuals of arms or regulations like the reenactors or when running under modern competitive shooting conditions using modern expedients and materials.

Britishmuzzleloaders is probably the best YouTuber for Napoleonic to Victorian blackpowder shooting. He doesn't always have the best sound quality, and he has a very dad sense of humor, but he's extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter he films about and is really passionate about antique British arms.


Since that video was made before the Covid outbreak, before Karl went off the rails, I wouldn't put much stock in it meaning they're still working together. In fact, I noticed that inRange's featured channels list is empty. Maybe it always was but I could have sworn it used to have Forgotten Weapons featured there. Although InRange is still featured in Forgotten Weapons' channels list, so who knows. I guess we'll see.

In unrelated news, apparently Karl is applying to be a guinea pig for a Coronavirus vaccine.

But only after another dig at the gun community. (Seriously, the InRange Facebook page is loaded to the brim with Karl being a cunt.)

In Karl's defense that looks like the Casa Grande Public Shooting Range. That place is notorious in Arizona for having spergs show up and flag everyone they can along the range and is ND city. Everyone with any common sense just goes out to shoot in the desert, like at Four Peaks.
 
The mask sperging at the end was pretty annoying but I think what bothered me the most is him not curating the questions for the Q & A, if you're gonna go through the trouble to do that stupid filter then go through and get rid of all the dumb questions.

I also think it's funny that Karl dismisses GFL completely while Ian has admitted to playing and enjoying it. Really shows whose the superior guntuber.
 
I'm sure he's in trouble. There's been several videos recently where they've shot $20 or less worth of ammo and then Carl ends with the standard tirade about how ammo for the channel eats him alive.
 
I'm sure having that monotone obese guy drone on for 20 minutes about optics brings in shit tons of viewers.
He was on an InRange Q and A with Karl a while back. One of the questions was something about home defence, and he said something to the effect of that a good way to protect your home was not to be an asshole to your neighbours, so that if anything ever went down, they'd be inclined to check up on you.

I thought that was a genuinely interesting take.
 
Good thing Karl isn't hurting for ammo money, that he can turn sponsors away publicly.

In all honesty I get wanting to remain separated from corporate interests but unless he's planning to start reviewing home security systems it really doesn't matter that much in this case. Especially sense shooting is an expensive hobby from the start, there's a reason why every professional competitive shooter has sponsors.
 
I'm sure he won't have to worry about those pesky sponsors for long with him trying to name and shame them like a Twitter Karen. I'm sure other gun channels must love him too considering Simplisafe is one of Demolition Ranch's most recent sponsors. But as long as everybody is paying attention to Karl I guess.
Simplysafe sponsor a bunch of people, I know they sponsor Garand Thumb, Military Arms Channel, and Brandon Herrera. They're one of the few non gun related companies that will touch gun content, and considering that the other ones are companies that sell gold to preppers and raid shadow legends simplysafe is a respectable choice.
 
if you're gonna go through the trouble to do that stupid filter then go through and get rid of all the dumb questions.
The dumb questions are his only excuse to stand on his soapbox. That and it's very likely he just scoops up a bunch at a time(see all the "Eighth time asking this, but" questions) - but they do curate in that they occasionally pair up relevant questions.

And to be fair, everyone is hurting for ammo because now everyone and their aunt now owns a gun.

Didn't he used to have a thing against handloading? and how he was convinced any time a weapon failed at a match it was because it was handloaded....

I'm just saying those guys wandering around picking up brass like a junior private after a range, are probably feeling kind of smug now.

He does have a thing against handloading for anything but cowboy guns, otherwise he runs the shittiest and cheapest Russian-made steel case ammunition he can find for his ~$2,000 gun.
 
So now we have Karl "The Hacktivist" Kasarda either apparently having no fucking clue what a dox is or just flat out lying by omission to shit on Palmetto State Armory. Might I mention that whole partnership with Brownells to manufacture those WWSD rifles? Some people might take issue with a small time partner trying to drag a major company in the same industry through the dirt. Oh and not to mention using it as an opportunity to posture against the sitting president which, given Brownells is a firearms company, might alienate a customer or two.

It is kind of annoying when companies do that though.

Say what you will about the quality of PSA shit, but they have done more to get malitary quality rifles in the hands of common people at a price they can afford than Karl could ever dream of. I think we can forgive them accidently spreading around some people email address. Still less doxed than the phone book :story:
