Absolutely nobody here is saying the forward assist worked for Kyle Rittenhouse so it is the u l t i m a t e solution for AR jams. They're saying it clearly works and that there is now a widely publicized example of a literal life or death situation where the forward assist did what it was supposed to- something Karl and others have screeched about being impossible. For raging about strawmans you pretty quickly set one up yourself.

I saw Karl Kasarda(of InRangeTV) at a grocery store in Phoenix yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen bottles of Crisco canola oil in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bottles and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “because that can make malfunctions worse,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s how it works. After she scanned each bottle and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Moving beyond all the forward assist sperging. Ian has began posting about desert brutality 2021 and yes he used a FAMAS.
@SinistralRifleman what did you think about DB this year? I feel it's safe to assume you're the only one here that competed this year. What did you think about adding the dmr aspect to it?

I remember my first time reading this copypasta back in like 2013 on an ARFCOM thread about Nutnfancy and I legit thought it was real and the dude actually met Nutnfancy in a grocery store lmao. I was deeply saddened to realize a few years later that It was just a copypasta.

Im curious...How many people actually attended Desert Brutality 2021? From the photos I've seen it looks like a handful of people.
The way Karl talks it up I imagined some event with 50-100 people.
I just noticed Ian pinned on his FA video..

Let us not forget, it was a M&P 15 with el cheapo ammo.
As I said before, I'd take the forward assist, too. That's precisely why it's there, to help in sub-optimal situations.

Karl and Ian are both people I would never take tactical or combat advice from, he's just being a catty cunt towards a cheap rifle.

Anyone looking for tactical or combat advice from Ian is a complete retard to begin with. The man has good historical knowledge and he reads a lot, which means he knows how things are supposed to be, according to the writers he's read or the people he's interviewed. Unfortunately, these people often assume everybody is using their gear correctly. Which is about as far from what grunts actually do as it can be.
Yeah, you don't need a forward assist if you're in a clean range, calm, collected, with a new and finely tuned gun with good ammo, and you're in a position where you can just pull the charging handle back. But clearly the army thought your average grunt would do better it they could just punch something forward (a much more natural motion than pulling something back). Again I don't like FAs myself (reciprocating charging handles, please). Thankfully, despite Ian's jacking off to Stoner's opinions the Army procurement process isn't completely idiotic. You might disagree with why something is done, but everything is done for a reason.
ETA: here's an interesting comment, pre-Rittenhouse:

Everyday the bar for "glowie" gets lower. This is pretty tame for someone with libertarian viewpoints. His Instagram is a hell of a lot more "glow" than this.So, the owner of Hoplite Armor glows. Phone posting and this archive doesn't work.

To be fair, a PSA AK will kill you. A M&P 15 will still kill commies.

Didn't some Antifa idiot wave a PSA AK at a driver and get popped by the guy's Glock in Austin last year? Even if the gun doesn't kill you directly it will get you killed either way.

It's insane how much the price point on PS AKs have risen. People really are followers and are willing to ignore the myriad of issues and the mountains of information on how dangerous they are just so it can say Made in the USA on it.

Him acquiring and selling CIA Nigger spook plates and having (at least from what I have been told) /pol/ schizo tier political beliefs were non issues but an op-ed in a local paper is what crossed the line into glow territory for you?

Agree, he's well read historian, he's got some experience and knowledge with engineering and machining, and he's got the charisma and clout to make himself accessible to all kinds of wondrous collections of weapons, which he can then demonstrate in detail, sometimes even fire, documenting all this on widely available video.
However, he's not in any way a grunt, and I'm no grunt either, but I find that there's good value in talking to seasoned veterans and hear their opinions on a weapon. Guys like Eugene Stoner would certainly have worthwhile things to say about his designs, but I think that since he never actually did tours of duty with said guns, patrolling endlessly and getting into heated firefights under conditions which may not have been ideal, he doesn't actually have the entire picture, lacking the appropriate perspective.
Ian, also lacking in perspective from combat veterans, defers to the authority he knows, it's because he is a bit of a snob, he knows the history of the guns, he knows the mechanical functions, more than most grunts do, therefore he assumes himself being more knowledgeable period.
My rule of thumb is that he's usually reliable on the academics, but anything he says on practical application is worth scrutinizing.
I'm waiting for someone good to do it, like say, Ruger, I'm confident they could investment cast a decent AK receiver. They don't even have to do the entire rifle, just sell the receiver for companies and private builders to do the work themselves, Magnum Research buys their Blackhawk grip-frames to make their revolvers, there's already precedent.

The fact that "Gun Jesus" is never solicited for a consolation by a serious manufacturer like FN or H&K speaks for itself. He's just a gun collector that's well read and traveled. Him repeating the old wives tail like the M855 round was designed to penetrate Russian Helmets or M855A1 is an AP round when it's not classified as such like M995 (while scoffing at the round's inability to penetrate modern Russian armor plates) was when I checked out.
