General GunTuber thread

The Webley was good but the Enfield was an absolute piece of shit.
No, I don't mean THAT old hunk of shit, they got rid of that for a reason, I mean the later Enfield revolver, where the UK Gov't asked Enfield to make a ripoff Webley revolver after Webley didn't bid low enough (which Webley later won a court case over IIRC).

Virtually the same thing, an overall adequate revolver for a .38 Smith & Wesson load with a heavy 200gr projectile. They went and worked over all the Enfield ones after some point, converting them to a DAO lockwork with a bobbed hammer, probably making them less useful IMO.

Fucking spat my water reading "the hate site AR15.com" imagining it in the voice of that Fox News anchor going "They call themselves ANONYMOUS..."

Even felons, trannies, illegals etc.
I'm ok with holding violent felons, and people who have demonstrated to otherwise be a great risk to themselves or others, to a different standard than the rest. Not permanently, some turn their life around, but if you're looking at someone who's been in and out of jail for violent crimes, or who's been trying to kill themselves a bunch of times in the past year, perhaps they shouldn't get to be armed just like everyone else. Maybe compromise solutions could be worked out for some.

Might make little difference for more hardcore career criminals, but presenting some sort of significant penalty for possessing a weapon for the kinds of people who have genuinely demonstrated that they're genuinely very dangerous, I don't think is a problem, as long as there is due process. This all of course quickly gets into far more complex subjects about recidivism and the availability and quality of mental health care, and the question of if someone is such a danger to society, should they be released at all, etc.
Illegal immigrants may have the right to defend their lives or property like anyone else, but they should outright have to pack their shit and be sent home if discovered, so that's a separate issue.

I know cops who adopt shit based on what they see in YouTube videos.
Cops are often retards, frequently spreading bullshit or even making up their own. Dumb cops picking up dumb shit on YouTube is unsurprising.

My experience of first hand fudd lore is that retarded shit where you use a tampon to plug bullet holes. Like holy shit just buy gauze it's way cheaper and there's enough material so that you can create pressure from the wound packing to stop the bleed.
If I were to interpret it charitably, I figure it as one of those desperate improvisations for where you don't have a first aid kit and you have to do SOMETHING. Possibly someone once did that for something much less dramatic than a gunshot wound, some work accident or something, and people came to overestimate them.

Or it's a joke which got out of hand.
I've heard it's an Israeli thing. It sounds like something those retards would do but honestly who fucking knows?
The IDF was ragtag as fuck in their early days, so I could see some retarded shit being done out of necessity, but they've also been pretty damn cheap for a lot of its history, so they probably wouldn't go with the more expensive and vastly inferior option by choice. Unless maybe at some early point they chanced into trading for a shipment which happened to just include a lot of tampons, and someone figured they may as well get some use out of them to save shekels.

I think a reasonable argument for a carve-out to the 2A for people who have used weapons to prey upon thier fellow citizen can be made. I am less entusiastic about doing so for a suicidal person as I believe both that folks have a fundamental right to kill themselves, and that giving government power to take away our rights, even temporarily, for our own good is an inherently bad idea.

Illegals should be deported upon discovery, full stop.

Always error on the side of LESS government.
 
I guess there is some truth to what he said, it's a bit of an impossible shot and with the wind and all, it makes it damn hard to nail.
Did he mention using subsonics at all in his comments, or prior to GT's guest bringing it up? Because his response was very "yeah I knew that, old hat", and I don't recall him making comments about what ammunition he used back in the day. Although I could've easily missed it amongst all the shitposting about .22s.

Same thing with claiming to be able to see the cans; "oh yeah, I spotted those first, right away", immediately after GT & friends described exactly where & how the targets were situated.

Plus he had the benefit of a good spotter.

Still.... I say good game for showing up, and the guy wasn't completely bullshitting; he overstated his capabilities, but also shit-talked his way onto GT's show & into the guntuber lorebooks.
 
I know exactly where I first heard that tampon myth, it was a scrapped mechanic that got a lot of 'controversy' in that crappy Army of Two game back in 2008:



Also, re: GarandThumb I've been watching his videos for a long time, and I have never once heard him claim to be TACP, or even TACP-adjacent. I've only ever heard him discuss being an instructor for SERE. He talks about being a medical school dropout more than he talks about his service, ffs. Anyone claiming he's "stealing valor" is full of shit.

Timestamped. I don't know much about becoming a TACP guy for promotions, or if that's like switching an MOS, or who gets deployed and who doesn't like somebody else had been mentioning because I've never been in the military, so I just pretty much take the guy at face value for what he says he's done. And I have no clue about him being in the Navy beforehand either. I mean, if you were going to lie about it you could probably make up a more impressive record or say you actually deployed for the grift.
 
I might have missed it but the latest update I can find is from Oct.

But the memes from this particular incident have been great

Black rifle coffee company is why I wasn’t surprised america lost to goat fuckers in Afghanistan. Vietnam and Iraq war vets know they fought for a lie. Afghan war produced leftists and trannies.

Ok first the Webley sperging. I'm glad you mentioned their version of .38. That heavy bullet was specifically designed to tumble since the Hague convention prohibited expanding rounds, so if they were going smaller, they might as well get the most out of it.

As for the felon argument, I agree there should be a process in most cases. White collar crime shouldn't have your guns taken, period. As for violent, as long as you aren't constantly in and out of the system, or just a Ted Bundy style serial killer, there should be a process to get your guns back. I think it should be lengthy, I want some proof of that come to Jesus moment, especially after not just the murder but the damage to the firearms community as a whole, but if you prove it, your rights SHOULD be returned. I believe in forgiveness, but also trust but verify.

Now since this is a guntuber thread, the new Beretta A300 got reviwed by TFBTV. Pretty good looking

Depending on a few factors there are generally ways to get your gun rights back. It gets a bit complicated because on the state level each has their own rules, and on a Federal level it's technically possible, but practically impossible due to some fuckery. If people are interested I can do a more detailed post about it.

Also to try and keep my post somewhat on topic, just got done catching up on some vids, and watched Ian's vid of building a P365 and then taking it to a match, and it made me chuckle. Choosing a small frame, and minimzed side controls, then whacking a giant ambidextrous manual safety on it seems ass backwards. Even more so since after the match video he mentioned he's rebuilding it into a new, wider frame anyway. Combine that with the fact he had to borrow an extended mag mid competition and I have to wonder what the point of any of it was.

I'd heard about that, didn't see the video yet, though it sounds goofy lol.
As for getting rights back, even if it's technically possible, it should be way more clear. Not nessicarily easy, if you're a killer I want some proof pal, but none of this bullshit of " well yes but actually no". You have a right to defend yourself, that I believe, and if you have truly learned, there should be a path to redemption.

This is exactly the problem I'm talking about. OTG are not SMEs. You think they are because they make YouTube videos. They are former patrol cops and POGs with no actual CQB training or experience.
Hate to burst your bubble but unless you're in bumfuck nowhere, most academies teach CQB and room clearing now with rifles and sidearms. This is also mandatory training for patrol officers who graduated before that was popular.
