The Chieftain long before World of Tanks and Girls und Panzer were ever created had a bigger bone to pick with Jagdpanzer 38(t)'s than the Panther's ergonomics. Hence the Jagdpanzer 38(t) being one of his very first "Inside the Hatch" videos.

At the end of the day, dodgey armor plate and crappy ergonomics aside. I for one would prefer to be buttoned up inside a 'Hetzer' than have to push the Anti Tank gun around.

He was definitely someone who wouldn't argue with that statement.

I'm not imagining it, Ian seems to be pulling back from InrangeTV, he's even posting a lot of his match footage on the Forgotten weapons channel now.

 

[TerminalTryHard]

Ian's launching the kickstarter for the British rifle book, sounds more interesting than I thought it would be. I'm waiting for the Russian weapon book, the kickstarter for that one is suppose to start sometime between DEC-FEB.

The story of the SA80 is just too ridiculous to be believed, a 20+ strong design team none of whom had ever fired a weapon.

I like the premise of the book, British firearms development was never as ambitious as the French. The Lee action of the Lee Enfield was designed and perfected by a Canadian in the US. The British contribution was to saddle it with a crappy .303 rimmed cartridge that they could never get rid of. The Bren Gun was Czech, the SLR Belgium, the Sten gun German.

The most unique thing about British Firearm development was they got obsessed with a Bullpub, and they thought the SA80 would be cheaper than the Steyer Aug or FAMAS.

Jesus, I can't think of anything that would be improved by having that many designers, let alone zero with any experience. It seems like you could probably write a book just about that clusterfuck.

I can get wanting your nation's main rifle at the very least to be domestically designed and built, not just at as a matter of national pride but to also maintain full control of it. It's a bit odd that a nation that used to be the world's major power having such a poor history of weapons development.

Prior to the SA80 all the British cared about was domestic production not domestic design. Also it used to be some of the problems weren't actually their fault. The UK tried to get rid of the Lee Enfield, they even developed a Mauser style rifle with a decent cartridge the P13, unfortunatly WWI broke out, and they couldn't make the change. Then after the war they had so many rifles in stock they couldn't justify changing, and what money they had, went into buying a decent light machine gun the ZB 26 aka the BREN gun.

The SA80 was just the worst of British industry summed up in one piece of poorly built junk that wasn't even cheap. It also says a lot about the British Army, they were the ones who fudged the trials not the manufacturer or the government, they prevented proper fault reporting, and because they wouldn't admit there was anything wrong with the rifle they wouldn't make changes to the training (particularly regards cleaning) that would have allowed better operation of what would still have been a piece of shit.

When a recruit goes through basic training, Rifle lesson No 1 is delivered by the Platoon Sergeant, and he'll read out from the lesson plan that the rifle is the best in the world (they make a big deal of how accurate it is) a load of statistics that nobody (including him) understands. It's meant to inspire confidence and in a way it does, but it wasn't helped by the fact that rifles used in training establishments were A1's up until the late 2000's.

Anyway it's a topic that deserves to have a book written on it.

The SA80 was so bad that when they brought in H&K to improve it, they had to redesign or modify every single part. Every single one. Nothing was backwards compatible.

 

[Trig.Point]

The SA80 was so bad that when they brought in H&K to improve it, they had to redesign or modify every single part. Every single one. Nothing was backwards compatible.

That was the ONLY requirement that the MOD insisted on during the development of the SA80, that it was safe. They could live with it not functioning for a half dozen reasons, but they were shit scared of someone being killed by a faulty weapon (it's one of the reasons the safety catch is so fucking weird, and you have to move a hand to switch it from fire to safe).

However they couldn't even manage that, and the Army ran the trials so shit that they didn't even probably stress test the weapon (granted you really had to abuse the rifle before it would fire).

In a bizarre way that's what saved the rifle, as soon as HK said the rifle wasn't safe, the MOD just wrote them a blank cheque ( known as 'costs +') to fix it, and HK insisted on fixing everything (it did help that HK were owned by BAE at the time who are adept at screwing money out of the MOD).

 

[Trig.Point]

I shouldn't bump a thread, that I last replied to. However Karl has put this on InRangeTV's youtube community page. Which is worth remarking on (remember the whole John Brown rifle club controversy?)

This is after he posted a video on the Danziger Bridge shooting in New orleans. Which was fucked up by shitty editing.

Anyway Karl unlike Ian is at least sticking his head out above the parapet.

 

[Marco Fucko]

I've read this entire thread and can't fathom why retards are trying to smear Ian. I didn't even know he was married until he briefly mentioned it in a Q&A. I thought he was just like an asexual amoeba that existed to talk about guns.

But yeah FW and InRange are more "liberal" by virtue of apolitical content and tolerating weirdos. A guy showed up to one of their 2Gun matches dressed as 2B, for instance.

All in all it means nothing. Yeah sure Karl's a Satanist and demonstrably more liberal/degenerate, but he's a hacker, that's pretty normal in that environment.

He's not a hacker, but claims a background in infosec. He also has a massive misunderstanding of the internet as well as unrealistic expectations of his viewership.
I mentioned elsewhere that he would be prime lolcow material due to his narcissism, but I'd rather he be deprived of such attention.

Yeah tbh it's wrong of me to assume based on circumstantial shit like associating with Ollam and having 2600 merch. He could very well be an orbiter who does something else for a living.

To be fair, you'd have to sit through hours of his Q&As to learn that and it's easy to make an assumption based on his association and regular attendance to DEF CON.

I don't know much about Ollam, I had a look at his YouTube channel when he did that appearance on InRange, it seemed just to be a series of random blogs with an occasional focus on locksmithing.

On another note Ian is now the proud owner of an FR-F1 french sniper rifle, serial #005 hand fitted by the guy who designed the thing.

At the end of his video, he says he'd like an expert shot to fire it. Guess which 'expert' he didn't loan it to.

He loaned the rifle to 9 Hole. When you air quote expert are you talking about Karl?

Deviant Ollam is a pentester who seems to focus on physical stuff. I.E. a component of infosec or hacker culture, which is why I assumed Karl was in the same boat.
