The Science Believer™ crowd thinks the biological functions that made humans who they are today are just silly technicalities? Whoa.

The obsession of the Scientism cult is the fantasy that mankind knows better than God or nature. They believe they're smarter than millions of years of carefully honed instinct.

Anyone else feels like that guy needs to be grabbed by the collar and slapped around until he admits he's gay? It's Current Year, man. You can admit you like taking cock because you're getting so insufferable no woman wants to be with you. It's just another thing for us to make fun of.

His wife is equally insufferable. And I'm pretty sure that her perfectly rhomboid face punches holes in the mattress.

Let’s face it. That chin could cut glass.

I stopped reading 60 pages in- whats the news on the Karl/Ian relationship? Only just started watching FW after a year off, last I knew they were trying to do something with their WWSD carbine project and Karl was ready to join Antifa and go out like Willem van Spronsen or something.

I know this isn't specifically guntube related but it's the best place I can think of to laugh briefly at Deviant Ollam where he acts like this dumb ass mask is at all worth using over a regular mask for anything but extra virtue signalling out in the world.

I don't get this guy, he's simultaneously Karl-tier retarded yet not actually stupid as far as I can tell.

Also this idea seems so stupid. Notwithstanding the massive glare a plastic screen so obviously causes, it's unusable as a workplace safety device because of bulk and lack of real protection, and has no use on a plane where you're recycling the same cabin air for 15 hours. $300, no refunds!

InRange and FW are their own separate product. Ian still shills the WWSD rifles, but on his own channel. Ian and Karl have not done a collab in a considerable amount of time, and likely will not do so ever again.

Also Russell joined the thread and he's actually not half bad.

The best part of this IMO is how the the picture they used makes it look like it was one he posed for specifically for this article and how it makes him look really proud of the statement.Which he should be.

I saw an interview with the creator of the fishbowl and he said one of their biggest problems was Airports and your average restaurant wasn't recognizing it as acceptable under the mask mandate....since masks have mostly been about the virtue signal...

I imagine it's pure business at this point or Ian is doing it as a solid then. I remember vaguely following it, seemed like a neat thought experiment concept rather than a marketable product. I cared much more about the planning and development than anything else. A shame either way that it seems to have failed so hard- Karl borders on Lolcow, but I hate seeing people enterprise and fail. I'm glad Karl is basically severed from this point, I never cared for the match shooting and outside a handful of videos from InRange I find him intolerable. Again, don't like seeing him fail, but the only way he'd grow without Ian is if Karl wasn't Karl.

Good to hear. My comment on that mask was more about the product itself than him but I think anyone who would wear that thing in public deserves a corrective slap.

The WWSD rifle project is the most successful rifle presale project Brownells has ever done according to them. 1,100 rifles were produced. ~30,000 KP-15 receivers were shipped. I don’t know how you could objectively say that it failed. AR-15 sales are slow now as they always are after massive sales surges like happened in 2020 to 2021. There’s a lot of stuff in distribution and panic buyers are dumping stuff for fractions of what they paid for it.

I also don’t know what metric you’re using to say Karl is failing. He makes enough money that running InRange is all he needs to do. He doesn’t have a boss, he doesn’t have to report to an office every day. He shoots, travels, and makes videos.

Kentucky Ballistics did another video where he overloaded a rifle to see if it would explode; it did. This time, he used a bolt action. He manufactured a squib load in the barrel and then fired off an over pressure round, just for good measure. There wasn't much left of the rifle, I can tell you that much.

Looks like he may have found his new niche - I was annoyed when Iraqveteran1488 stopped doing torture tests so this could be good.

ETA: Well, the barrel can be reused. Probably.

Glad to see he's found a niche but really not anything groundbreaking or interesting to see here, testing simulated squib loads has been done a billion times before.

All I know about the rifle is that it shipped with major quality control issues. That to me is a failure. Maybe not for the company, but I'd be angry if I bought it and never purchase another product from whoever was attached to it again.

I consider Karl a failure because it seems like he's reached terminal decline. Maybe not in cash coming in right now, but he's pissed a lot of people off. Ian isn't a big name corporation but he obviously tries to be clean-cut. He doesn't have a resentful relationship with his audience. The fact that all his business partners have silently cut him out is telling. Even in a world where GloboHomo etc. controls most corporations you can't have business partners sperging out on social media, it's just bad business and a massive liability. They don't want to work with him from what I've seen, where Ian could easily transition to a decently paying gig at a company or museum somewhere or eke out a good life off book sales to a dedicated audience. Ian could be just as bad as Karl behind the scenes but we'd never know by how differently they present themselves.

And what issues are those exactly?

I’ll tell you exactly what I’ve dealt with;

Out of 1100 rifles, 8 have been returned for repair. A few of those turned out to be end users changing things that made them not run such as a compensator being installed upside down or a muzzle device being added that. increased back pressure.

One guy had a broken dust cover detent.

Breek has replaced some charging handles for people that had springs that are too weak

We’ve replaced Ambi mag catches for people, again the springs needed to be stronger .
Some people need to add tungsten weights to their SCSS to make the gun reliable with the ammo they are shooting per the instructions included with it.

We have the most accessible and fastest customer service in the industry. I answer emails nights and weekends. We cover all shipping costs.

Shooting 5-10 rounds through each rifle does not replicate what shooters are going to do with them, the variety of ammunition they’re going to use, or the parts they’re going to change and not tell you about until it shows back up. What it does do is show that the vast majority of them are going to work, and if someone has a problem later we will take care of it.

Point made, and since there's no escalation and he's just aiming to blow it up it's very underwhelming.

In all honestly if I was feeling less generous I'd be hesitant to even call this a test. There were no parameters, there was no goal (beyond gun go boom), there was no control, there was no cataloging or collating of data, there was no hypothesis (beyond gun go boom), there was no conclusion (beyond gun go boom).

It was basically just the Kentucky branch of the Demo Ranch franchise.
