Don’t forget that India is probably the worst country in regards to actually making functional firearms. Iirc their service rifle makes the original L85 look like a fudd’s perception of an AK-47 and before that their FAL clone was pretty much regarded as the worst FAL clone adopted by a major military.
Also don't forget the Jeets were too poor and jeety to buy a FAL license. They reverse engineered the poorfag rifle of the west.
the dude looks like the king of the hill satanist guy. I liked him more when I was younger he's informative but I would never want to hear him talk about anything other than rare guns and I don't really watch that anymore anyways.
Nah, that's Styxhexenhammer/Tarl Warwick. He and Ward Rackley are so much more alike to the point of you'd have to wonder who's a parody of who.
I saw that on the India-Pakistan conflict thread, and noticed how it looked like a "AK-47" at first. Yet I thought it would either be a Galil or maybe a FN Fal. I wouldn't be amazed if it is a mishmash of all three, honestly (haven't watched the video yet).
I think Ians just trying to fence sit. The only financial interest he’s trying to protect is the amount of viewers that want to watch his videos and subscribe to his Patreon.
That and considering his job is fairly dependent on his reputation within the industry I'm not really surprised. If a company has some weird prototype gun in their archives then they aren't going to give it to FW if they think he's going to talk shit about them.
His explanation of the tolerance stack and manufacture methods was okay, but the thing he latched on when talking about Tripp's video was the claim that the change from stamping to MIM was meant to save 30 dollars per gun, on a part that was already dirt-cheap with stamping. That's the part he took offense to, the rest was mostly just fluff for context.
The real issue is that he and Tripp are talking past each other. Ian is trying to zero in on the engineering side of the problem while Tripp is trying to zero in on the human side of the equation. Both if them recognize that the striker safety is the issue but Ian sees it as a failure of engineering while Tripp sees it as a failure of management.
There's one major caveat to Pinto Math and that is Ford and similar sized and larger corporations can get away with it. As they can afford to buy enough politicians to either keep the lawsuits from happening. Or at worse mitigate the damage should one does happen and they lose.
Sure but if they can keep the customers from bringing in a class action suit then it's still cheaper. Hell I'd be willing to beg a class action settlement will still be cheaper than remanning all those parts. And clearly someone in the army is getting fat kickbacks so I doubt they're worried about the government.
Case in point, hearing what he has to say on Politics. You’d think by seeing Karl’s spiral downfall and after seeing how normal guys like Brandon and Admin are…He’d stop and think, “huh, maybe this leftist thing isn’t really all it’s cracked up to be.”
What kind of stupid faggot shit talks the best SecDef in my lifetime?!
Also in that comment section:
I mean, calling out the US SecDef as the donkey as he is isn't being a leftist. It's just stating the fucking facts. Also kek at calling Brandon and Admin "normal". I mean compared to the commie faggot shit represented by Karl, sure. But your average people? They are far less subtle in their political opinions than Ian. Normal people usually keep it to themselves.
