Is he trying to get a warrior's death to skip the whole degenerative disease part?

That's exactly what he's doing, unfortunately. He would rather die in a war that he probably doesn't even care about, than slowly die from a decease that brings nothing but anguish and embarrassment. Can't say I blame him.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=wWdn6_ayqD8Suomiboo Ian has marched into the political sphere by saying the noguns Europe is retarded, comparing the invasion of Ukraine to the dwindling civilian ownership of guns.
Comments include the occasional coping and seething Europeans and noguns.

I was worried Ian would get cucked in the video like he did with the Azov book so I didn’t watch it.
So you’re saying Ian got super based in this video?

From youtube video


"The song is Terry Jacks - Seasons In The Sun. It's a actually a reference to Fireforce by Chris Cocks, a book about the Rhodesian Bush War. There's a passage in the book where he recounts singing "We had joy we had fun/ Slotting floppies in the sun". ...

"Competition experience" in a war zone. God I would pay money to see this clusterfuck as gamer gunners get absolutely BTFO'd in the real thing.

I find it incredibly ironic that the guy behind "bolt actions are obsolete" is using evidence from bolt-action target shooters during the turn of the century shooting at columns of troops freezing in knee-deep snow to say 2 or 3-gun shooters would perform well in modern engagements.
Granted, videos of Russian conscripts show it's a clusterfuck but benchshooting and kettlebells don't account for combined arms or shellshock.

Also situational awareness, terrain tactics, overlapping fire, avoidance of crossfire, cover and advance, etc etc. I share Ian's hope that more euros start thinking about the value of guns in a constructive way, but the rest of that video was cringe.

Also, I had a bit of a stroke when he said a donation link goes "straight to the Ukrainian government, not a middleman".
 
The fact is, somebody more proficient in manuals of arms is going to be a better combatant than somebody who just got told where the safety is 15 minutes ago.

But I'm not sure I buy the "timer beep equals real stress" line.
 
The Ian "hope Europe will reform gun laws soon because Ukraine" was adorable. How can a man be so out of his depth, I've heard better plans from drunkards.

It's the gunsperg equivalent of saying "why we don't simply adopt the Nordic welfare model everyone it looks so nice". The Finn model "works" because it's Finland, let's see Moldova, Romania or Slovakia on it, the Southern/Eastern Euro countries are corrupted shitholes and giving them guns and training like the Commies did ended in tears, imagine the Romanians having means of opposing their robber government instead of pathetic protests or escaping the country.

It doesn't and anyone who thinks so is a faggot that deserves what happens when they get return fire.

It certainly beats talking shit on the internet and shooting at trash in the gravel pit.

The ability to shoot fast and accurately is never a bad thing. And if you can’t handle the stress of the clock in public, and some physical exertion degrades your marksmanship appreciably I don’t know how you’d expect to do well in combat.

If you get mentally defeated and can’t perform because you’re tired and sore on the clock how can you expect to do well in combat. if weather conditions destroy your will to win at an 4-8 hour match, how can you expect to maintain fighting mindset over the course of days, weeks, months? Watching peoples mindset and psychology degrade at matches under a mild amount of stress and perhaps public embarrassment is very enlightening.

We should clearly take shots at competition shooters with BB guns and water balloons filled with ammonia while they aim at the targets.

This adds real stress and audience participation. Gets them ready for combat and makes it more fun to watch!

Working with others and communicating clearly are far more important in combat than raw accuracy under fire. Doesn't matter whether we are talking about war in Ukraine or fucking Team Fortress 2.

That is not to say there is not value in accuracy under pressure, but fucking up a push/withdrawal because you can't figure out what your battlemates are doing is going to get you killed far quicker than having a 50 MOA grouping at 50 yards.
