General GunTuber thread

Carpenter 158 was good enough for TWO IRAQ WARS!
Honestly, you don't even need a better material. Rounded bolt lugs would do the trick. The deal with bolt breakages isn't the linear bolt thrust, it's the overpressure causing early unlocking and creating a torsional load. The relatively sharp radius at the root of the lugs acts as a stress riser and bolt life is reduced. I heard the M855A1 pressure issues were fixed, which lead me to an arfcom thread where Buffman said what I already knew but wasn't sure: velocities on M855A1 seem to have been dialed back. But interestingly, someone mentioned that the Small Arms Solutions/Black Hills testing of M855A1 had it conditioned at 125ºF. They did environmental testing on M855A1 by heating it up, and it's within spec. That's weird.
They don't want to use tungsten. Making billions of standard issue bullets with tungsten cores would take it away from where it's needed. That's why the 6.8 was designed around a steel core and it's blasting off at full rifle power. They need that performance to lob an ash tray of a steel core that makes up for the fact that it's not tungsten.
I really don't think the two piece cartridge (or three piece in this case) is that much of an issue. Most solid materials have a Poisson ratio of 0.2-0.2 which means that axial strain results in transverse strain, equivalent to 20-30% of said axial strain. In plain English, if you compress a material like aluminum or steel to the point of deformation, it actually bulges sideways. With the high pressures, it's possible that the washer in the case head further locks the case wall.

I could see how the pressure would force them together during firing, my main source of concern was balloon head 45 colt cases, but I can see how the geometry is different. I'm not sure that any of that will keep them together under extraction though.

I have a real good friend that works at lake city, I'll ask him if he remembers the load in a1 being decreased. I think what they actually did was change powders to one thst was supposed to be more consistent, but I'm not sure. I do know that stuff is a constant pain in the ass for them to load and only the marines shoot much of it.

Dugan Ashley is back with a few informational videos. Not calling him insane, but I do have to wonder whether these types of posts by him coincide with MS flareups due the the psychological symptoms. Still happy to see that nobody's "cancelled" the guy (not that there would be much to "cancel")

.... he seems to have boiled himself down to a caricature just for the bit. This video actually shows some self-awareness from his part. Problem is that he returns to his annoying real self when he's back in front of his keyboard.

Dude takes himself WAY too seriously.

Which is why shit like this is just confusing; is he trying to be funny?

I don't think he even knows until he gets reactions, sometimes.

I mean, you have an MRO. Kinda answers that question by itself.

The xm25 I'd a retarded boondoggle that isn't going to amount to shit, Just like every other time we got big ideas to replace the AR. If big army wanted to do anything it seems like the obvious answers would be to try and find a better bolt head material so you can shoot 855A1 without being a constant mantiance nightmare.

Or make some kind of in-house 6.5 Grendel load with one of those fancy tungsten bullets. Thst works in a regular AR and uses a standard brass case thst isn't and obvious death trap.

80k psi in a two piece case is begging for problems. Best case sanario I bet you have case heads pulled off on extraction in hot guns. Hope there's a trapdoor for s broken case extractor somewhere on that thing.

Big green canceled the XM25 back in 2018.

The Sig thing I don't really have an opinion on. I only have marketing material to go with. Marketing material is AIDS for anything useful.

On Karl the spergy sperg sperg of spergtube. He gets emotional on everything. He came close to a heart attack about a book no one on God's green earth ever even heard about. Bring up the M1 carbine and he looks like someone that got kancho'd hard as hell with a pool cue. If someone disagrees with him on camera he starts out ok then his arms flail around and he starts to shake. The gun throwing. If you throw guns, even as a joke, you are not a person that should be taken seriously. Every single person who owns and/or uses a firearm will say "Treat every firearm as if it where loaded, even if you know it is not." Karl, throw it into a dumpster because it didn't work during a match. Karl, throw it across the desert because, it didn't shoot right. Why, because "ANGRY Karl not like gun."

What did I miss there?

Like all pre-orders, the HEAT vest had a lot of issues. Magazine retention wasn't good and the sizing was off. Customer complaints were handled pretty poorly, with little to no follow-up from FW.

Takes one to know one. Your interpretation of joke videos like the WWSD BUIS one or the Red Oktober dumpster one tells me you’re probably lacking in humor and understanding of non-verbal social cues. The rifle in the dumpster video was disassembled FYI.

A lot of the people here say he takes himself too seriously (fair enough), but you’re saying he doesn’t himself seriously enough? Strange.

"...you’re saying he doesn’t himself.." Phagan, he doesn't what? Your last point is not coherent. Try harder.

I don't think I am sperging out at all. I'm not using harsh language. I am not even making crude jokes. I am just pointing out the fact that Karl is in a small group of dumbass guntubers out there that do irresponsible shit with firearms. Karl also gets mad at the drop of a hat over the most idiotic shit. Karl is an atheist that takes part in a religion just because he wants to "spite" another religion. That is some next level anger management issues. He likes to make fun of groups he does not like but, he takes exception to people making fun of his chosen groups. He dislikes hate speech while hating on people. He hates being forced by the government to do anything except, when the government mandates something he likes.

He is not unique. You see ,I dropped Harmsen of MAC when he started to sperg out on an H&K pistol. What Harmsen did was totally idiotic. The pistol failed to fire after being dunked in a puddle of water. Harmsen starts throwing it against trees and running it over with his Jeep. That is sperging out also. He sperged out about the NRA and having secret intelligence about the NRA taking actions against him.

When Henry over at 9-Hole or Ian does some kind of skit I don't care. Sometimes they are funny sometimes they are meh. They are not a total and complete sperg out and they do not involve unsafe gun handling.

Non-verbal social cues? People who bring this sort of thing up on the internet are tard struggling to make an argument. I don't care if the rifle was disassembled or not. Maybe when he tossed the pistol over his shoulder in his backyard he was just making a joke? He shows poor safety discipline with firearms. He does take himself way too seriously and, he really hates any form of disagreement.

You also take disagreement badly. Karl is completely dependent on you defending him. He cannot and will not defend himself without Phagan. Is Phagan the mouthpiece of Karl? In fact no one here even thinks of you as a guntuber. Why are attacks on Karl seen by you as attacks against yourself? Are you jesus or something? I thought Ian was gun jesus. Are you attempting to gain more likes from Karl?

Maybe this is the crux of the lawsuit against you. You involve yourself in things that do not concern you.

"Treat every firearm as if it where loaded, even if you know it is not."

Impossible, unless you never clean them.

I don't care if the rifle was disassembled or not.

Oh, so safety is not your objective.

Phagan, like I said you spend an awful lot of time carrying water for people who either don't care about what is being said on Kiwifarms or don't want to defend themselves. You put your nose into places it does not belong. You and the company you own are named specifically in that lawsuit. Ian and Karl are not. Even Karl is smart enough not to stick his nose in that situation. You consistently want people to like you and you will do whatever it takes to get those likes.

Karl is well aware of Kiwifarms and the comments herein. He chooses not to defend himself and to tell you the truth kudos on him. Here we are though, with Phagan dueling it out for his honor. It is his honor not yours. You are stating things for him. You are making excuses for him.

This is the kind of half wit comment one would expect. It is not half wit because you are stupid but, because you only put half your wit into it. In recent memory a certain actor/producer killed one person and injured another from a firearm that was "unloaded". "it just went off" right? The idiot in that case is hiding behind it was an accident but, we all know it was a preventable accident. Just don't point guns at people. Guntubers make it a general principle to show the camera a clear chamber to help ease the audiences safety concerns. It is not needed as it is not a live show. Guntubers as a rule go to extreme lengths not to muzzle the camera. No bullet is going to come out of your monitor. One of the reasons they do things like this is to promote safe firearm handling practices. Throwing firearms around like a basketball kind of invalidates that idea.

Karl, in those two specific incidents, did things that no coach, trainer, parent, or friend would ever condone. Karl's two gun action challenge is a mixture of two different disciplines. He mixes these because he believes that unholstering and holstering a handgun adds an unsafe element to the match. He then chucks a firearm over his shoulder to make a point. I will level the charge of hypocrite to the mix. Phagan and yourself seem to think it was the dumspter video that was the most egregious. Quite honestly, that was weird. It was the chucking of the handgun over his shoulder that is an example of Karl getting angry and doing stupid shit. Other videos exist of him being a sperg I was just using that as an example.

One of the reasons why Phagan is being sued is he is alleged to have helped facilitate the transfer of intellectual property from Shawn Nealon to KE Arms. Intellectual property that did not belong to Shawn Nealon and KE Arms had no right to purchase. Also, it is alleged that Phagan lied when he sold "ALL" the intellectual property of the CAV-15 lower to GWACS. So in other words you cannot trust a word that Phagan makes. Care to comment Phagan?

No, you can't clean a loaded gun. So if you always treat your guns as if they're loaded, you can't clean them. Because they're loaded. Some anti-gun leftist not knowing about guns doesn't have anything to do with me.

Guntubers make it a general principle to show the camera a clear chamber to help ease the audiences safety concerns. It is not needed as it is not a live show. Guntubers as a rule go to extreme lengths not to muzzle the camera.

Boomers being retards about what a camera is also doesn't have anything to do with me.

I always clean my guns while loaded and pointed at me, a loved one, or especially a minority. Come at me.

Gonna be hilarious if your posts get pulled into the lawsuit.

[Molly White's Breast Milk]

@redicart does bring up a good point: Why won't Karl come her and defend himself? He posts about us on twitter and sends his tubby autistic butt buddy over here but Karl refuses to come. Karl will say it's not worth his time to come here since there's so few of us but we all know the real reason, he'll get his ass handed to him and he can't handle that in an environment that he doesn't control. No wonder he hangs out with trannies, he's only a pair of programmer socks away from being one.
