Deviant triggered that a video game called "Police Shootout" has you shooting criminals.

KE Arms is doing a limited run of ODG KP15s.

It kind of odd how every time they need to shill some WWSD stuff they go to Ian. They've used Ian to announce the budget model, showoff the up coming commando (SBR) model and now the green ones. It's odd they never have Karl show any of it off, it's almost like Karl's brand is becoming increasingly toxic to the majority of gun owners or something.

"Odd". Is that how you say "the only way they could ever sell those damn guns"? If it is, congratulations on being able to come up with such a great shorthand.

It's likely he has a contractual stake with KE Arms (and/or Brownells) on the WWSD. And I'd be very surprised if Karl has anything of the sort; not even written on the back of a napkin.

I do find it rather hilarious that Karl is slowly being frozen out of his own fever dream.

Ian was able to raise 1,000,000 dollars for chinese meme guns just by posting a video. KE Arms would be stupid not to use his name to advertise.

I really wonder how much came from people with no detail interest in Chinese warlord pistols; but instead are backing his projects, no matter what they are.

Hell, I didn't have any real interest in them either (or frog guns), but his presentation of the information makes it interesting.

Ian's tapped into a neglected market and his brand has become a valuable asset, even by association; which makes Karl's ineptitude seem even more willful..... along with just being lazy, and serious daddy issues on the side.

It's definitely the latter. Forgotten Weapons is a brand for them, and these are fans consuming the product being released.

Thankfully Ian doesn't seem to have done anything to betray their trust yet. The WWSD shilling comes close, but it is a project he still seems to believe in to some extent. I would be very surprised if he kept with it for another version, though. Even if he didn't know the product was not exactly built to the same spec as his personal sample of the project, I don't think the man has a lot of time left for this sort of project, what with getting more and more interested in writing books.

Actually, now that I think about it... is there any relation between Ian dedicating more time to his books and his relationship with Karl becoming more distant? I know it's probably just confirmation bias, but it feels to me Ian's presence on InRange gradually faded down to nothing as he dumped more time into his French Rifle Book project. He might have run out of free time to spend with his weirdo friend.

Deviant Ollam should have been around for Urban Chaos: Riot Response. It's basically Excessive Force: The Game. You even have the option to keep tasing rioters until they catch fire.
Also the streamer in this video used to be an airsoft reseller or whatever before he got into videogame reviews, and back in the day he got caught being somewhat of a sperg on forums. He claimed to be a "professional" airsofter and to have a full auto FN F2000 because his older brother was the president of the Seattle NRA. Whatever that means. I think he stopped after being called out on that so he never went full lolcow, and focused his autism on videogame reviews.

Bit of a side note but its one of the best sixth gen fps's i have ever played, and i would highly recommend.
There is also Pursuit force if you want something on wheels

I noticed Karl's absence continued (or intensified), along with a quality drop in already lackluster InRange content after Ian came back from those European collaboration & speaking tour.

It also coincided with the Great Guntuber Adpocalypse, and his final (has he been back since?) infamous ShotShow interviews. Karl's raging against the machine intensified & he openly thew his lot in with socialists, like Jörg Sprave & his YouTuber Union. At that point his virtue-signalling/begging started bookending his videos, and the collaborations with FW dropped to almost nothing (aside from Karl pinch hitting as cameraman), whereas WWSD has probably been in the works for longer & has been grandfathered into what remains of their friendship

Probably many. But hey, their charity/careless spending is our gain, I'm glad there's now a good written resource being made about this subject, he's right in that this is a subject which there is close to no documentation or literature, and referencing this wide collection available to him was a great opportunity.

There's books about French guns, lots of documentation, lots of collector information, but here's literature about something that's almost completely uncharted, and that's great. One could bemoan that these pieces of junk will now stop going for a $25 and a blowjob in a gas station bathroom, but on the other hand, I think this will dramatically reduce the chance that someone will take a 'Wauser' at face value and turn it in for a supermarket giftcard at a buyback (because it's crude junk that may not even be safe), and then instead preserve these little historical oddballs.

Hell, I didn't have any real interest in them either (or frog guns), but his presentation of the information makes it interesting.
I didn't know about them until he made some videos about them a few years back, but I immediately found them so very interesting. As said once before, guns like these is something that you don't see in commercial guns, or most historical guns, so it's very exotic.
 
I think you've got it backwards. No collection has worth until there's a desire to own them.
The reason collectors don't want the Hughes Ammendment repealed is because they realize that their collections of NFA and Class III will immediately lose value except for people interested in the stuff that has actual historical prominence. But all those MACs and Street Sweepers and every other open bolt pipe/box girder SMG is gonna lose all of it's value practically overnight.
