>retard can't assemble a gun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX7MiIUx7_Ewhy are guntubers so fucking retarded?
>>62864809ok james we know its you
>>62864809*two retarded autofellating shill faggots
>>62864809>eceleb shitFuck yamudda
>>62864809Same reason techtubers don't know how to use a command line, they're marketing specialists and not subject matter experts.
My only beef with guys like Hop is that they ball on big budgets but make recommendations to mcdonalds warriors based on that. I know it's cope but I can't buy a real MAWL on my McD's money. My shift is at 2:00 and it's 1:45. A2Grip's gonna fire my ass if I'm late again.
>>62865262Hop is completely full of shit. At least dudes like Gunsngear, Free Field Training, GBRS, etc have real world experience. Hop just bought cool shit with his mom's credit card and filmed it. No idea what it's for, how it works, etc.
>>62865335Is it true he's related to James Reeves and gets to bum off the tfbtv war chest and industry connections for his equipment? He seems fairly young (30?) and is super well equipped.
BF and Hop lost me when they flipped on chinese lasers. Almost seems like they got paid off by Big Laser to shill only domestic neutered shit.
>>62865356I doubt B E Meyers paid them to flip. I think it's more they have fuckheug gear budgets and $2,000 for a real peq isn't a lot to them, so $250 for a somogear is almost like the dollar store.To your point, Hop's gear when it isn't the star of the show is actually rather mediocre. His plates are mid-range LTC Level IVs from Hoplite. Someone with his connects should be running gucci ass shit like 28601s, so maybe he's got outside funding driving his gear.
>>62865352James Reeves isn't his father but he is the father that stepped up. He got him a job and is trying to get Hop back on his feet and self sufficient.
>>62865373Okay there's some lore I'm oblivious to. Lemme guess, is Hop secretly A2Grip?
>>62865262>>62865335both hop and brassfact's videos are just boring slop, I really don't understand what their videos are supposed to be about or who they're for. hop shares similar videos made with brassfacts but are even more milquetoast. brass facts' latest videos are>pistols vs pdws vs rifles??? 13 minutes (12 minutes without sponsor) for this? with really no experiences or references as to why someone would pick any of them over each other, but some range shooting with each and scores I think?>modern AKwow an AK with rails all over it>"SHTF magazine management theory" and "proactive looting a shtf fantasy"who are these for?>"what suppressor should you buy?" and "why I still like back pressure suppressors"36 minutes for the former video and I guarantee it could be summarized as "buy the most cheapest and quiet direct thread suppressor or be prepared to spend a good amount of money for a QD can">glx 1x micro prism video14 minutes of talking with little being said
>>62865352Hop just spends all of his money on guns and accessories
>>62865377Dubs checked. I think the magazine management stuff is meant for the same audience that grew up reading SWAT magazine and predicting eventual SHTF.
>>62865381Dude's making good money if that's all his income.
>>62864827wild to think this is technically an oldfag reference now
>>62865262>>62865335>>62865356>>62865377Don’t take tactical advice from someone who has never killed a man
>>62865364>His plates are mid-range LTC Level IVs from Hoplite.maybe he doesn't think he'll actually be shot at or ever need to use them other than as exercise weights
>>62865496Wait are LTC level 4 plates bad now? What did I miss?
>>62865476same with the shitload of glocks and boof
>>62865262>Hop is that they ball on big budgetsBro, Hop can't afford beer most months, he's fucking destitute.
>>62865490Based and Paul-pilled
>>62865377 they'll put out videos that more than 100k views with ZERO useful information. I guess people find them entertaining
>>62865352>>62865364he also gets a lot of shit for free because of the size of his youtube channel.
>>62865377In the case of the proactive looting thing that was him shitting on tarkov kiddies or retards that say shit like I'll just take from preppers.
>>62865744yeah fuckwadtactical released a video on why they're totally outdated and out of meta yesterday, didn't you hear?
>>62865262Dude makes all of his videos for poor people tf are you talking about. His obsession for a laser plus flashlight illuminator is the poorest setup you can get. At least he's candid that his hyper optimized poor fag setups suck. He has one video of red dots through nightvision and it's 25 minutes of unwatchable garbage till he borrows a white phos g3 to finish the video with
>>62865262he only fixes the ice cream machines you will be fine
>>62865262It's funny cause for his larp rifles he's willing to blow $$$$ on NV optimized parts and gear, but when he talks about EDC it's either a stock glock or a fucking Taurus.
>>62868071A lot of preppers will be victimized though. Being some kind of violent loner on your "compound" isn't going to win you many friends.
fukken lesbians wanna be like men, but can't actually do man things.

>>62865335>GooBRSLol, lmao
>>62865376no it's just a meme. James has made jokes about hop being his son after alluding to their connection. the reality is that they both connected through /k/ one way or another
>>62870036people who think retarded shit aren't known for intellectual honesty or consistency. cognitive dissonance is a real thing
>>62870076Like the guy is friends with a chinese guy and I think another chinese guy ffs.

do gunthots even make videos anymore?
>>62865377I'm fine with them, but it's all LARP shit to appeal to COD kiddies. Night vision, lazors, armor, etc. will almost never, ever be used in any sort of real-world civilian defensive shooting. I'm all for being prepared, but please go ahead and prove me wrong if there's ever been a documented case of someone using any of that gear in self-defense. Hop and Assfacts live in rural PNW where they'll likely never have to use their guns in anger outside of SHTF fantasy scenarios. This is a problem with a lot of guntubers, actually. A lot of them opine about concealed carry tactics and things like what to do if you're ever caught in a riot while living in the countryside where those opinions are mostly irrelevant. If there were competent guntubers from places like Memphis, Atlanta, St. Louis, etc. then I'd value their opinions a bit more. At least James has real-world credibility as a lawfag who lives in New Orleans.
>>62871067hop lives in town in Salem and assfacts lives ina city in utahotherwise I agree with some of what you are saying
>>62870673I liked them, but it became kind of obvious that the guy running the channel was the only one who was actually knowledgeable about guns, while the other two guys were just his buddies who were more casual gun owners. The problem with trying to do a group channel like that is getting everyone in the same place at the same time away from their real-world obligations.
JJJJJJJAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS, review the SRM1216

>>62865377In order to please the almighty algorithm youtubers have to upload content regularly or get deprioritized in the system, or at least as far as anyone knows that's how it works. This inevitably leads to them pumping out slop when the good ideas run out and favoring youtubers like brassfacts who can ramble about nothing for 30 minutes but still edit it into a video and send it. So when you see a guntuber upload something that's predominantly pointless rambling about things that don't matter cut in with brief snippets of them shooting a gun (just like most gun/gear reviews, what do you know) or something like that you can know they probably made it because it's been X weeks since their last upload and if they don't upload something right now the algorithm's going to take a big fat shit on them.

>>62871212Fun is fine, but their channels are predicated on pushing "the meta" for shit that will never happen. It's navel gazing and fart sniffing behavior.
>>62871502Does that explain why Focustripp who use to review poorfag equipment (And still does sometimes) switched to making guntuber drama and bloodsports queer shit (even though most of the companies deserved it).

This thread goes to show that there is a severe shortage of new subject matter experts to replace the old gunwriters and gunfighters. Jim Cirillo, Massad Ayoob, DocGKR, Paul Harrell. Are Hop and Reeves the best the rock is cooking?
>>62876239>the old gunwriters and gunfighters.The vast majority of those guys were total cunts just pulling "facts and experience" out of their asses.The only reason they didn't get caught and called out on all their bullshit was that the Internet wasn't a thing back then, so fact checking and callouts weren't as easy as they are today.Ayoooob for example subscribes to and actively spreads all kinds of boomer fuddlore which is provably false.
>>62876281Pray tell what some of that fuddlore is? If you have comments on DocGKR or Cirillo I'd be interested in hearing those too.
>>62876290First example of ayoooooooob's fuddlore that comes to mind is 1911 supremacy, the second is that dropping the slide on an empty chamber will damage semi-auto pistols.
>>62876299No comment on the 1911, that might just be him pandering to a target audience. I recall the "dropping the slide" issue was with regards to a particular model and not all semi-auto pistols.Anything on the other guys though, they've been demonstrably on the money and some of them (DocGKR and Harrell) have been on the money for ages.Maybe it's just that the knowledge gap between layman and SME back then was a lot larger, and now in the age of the internet the average joe is going to be better equipped. However, I'm pretty sure DocGKR could win a 10v1 debate on terminal ballistics against reddit neo-fudds no sweat.
>>62876299Mas sings the praises of Glonks and other modern handguns as well. But yes, he does like the 1911.
>>62866265Rip, guntube will never be the same.
>>62865490That's where a lot of anons should read Jim Cirillo. He was an NY stakeout squad cop who went 17:0 in recorded gunfights, and rumor has it his actual score is higher than 17.
>>62876239>Are Hop and Reeves the best the rock is cooking?But they'd be subject matter experts in what exactly? Reeves has a legal background so he at least has that going for him but Hop and 99% of other guntubers don't specialize in anything other than reviewing guns/gear and giving hot takes from the limited experience they have with them.
>>62876583Kind of my point there. Guntubers don't provide specialist knowledge like the old SMEs did. Example #1 is DocGKR, who has a ballistic reconstruction surgery and former mil / LE background. Exceptionally good with terminal ballistics, also did armor testing way back in the day. Closest nowadays is maybe Buffman, but he's light on terminal ballistics.Closest to Ayoob is maybe Noir but I might be stretching.Cirillo doesn't have a counterpart since none of the new breed of guntubers have that level of gunfight experience. He was an anomaly.Harrell was basically the number one "one stop shop" for information. You'd get up to speed pretty quickly if you just watched his videos and read DocGKR's posts.
>>62871067I mostly agree with this. Hop's videos are entertaining but only in the respect of watching an even more autistic mfer than I am kvetch about minute details on guns I find to be comically boring.In my mind, Paul Harrell will remain GOAT'd because he would actually do videos, or series of videos on good techniques for different types of firearms that aren't just>Black brick autoloader #943>AR-15/AR-18 redux #789I personally just find shooting my auto and AR to be fucking boring. Extremely boring. I'm not saying they're terrible to use, or that they suck, I just don't really enjoy using them at the range compared to just my revolver. The fact Hop or Brass Facts go about 'reviews' in the same way min-maxxing nogunz here on /k/ try to decide their first purchase amuses me, I absorb zero actual knowledge from this kind of discourse whatsoever.
>>62870639This explains a lot. His current self-presentation is the kind of guarded cynicism that only comes from having publicly embarrassed yourself to a severe degree. The evolution of the dork is well-storied and littered with unforgivable blunders
>>62876239>>62876281Didn't that ayoob faggot tell people NOT to use a flashlight on their handguns?
>>62877123For searching purposes, yes, that's due to strict "4 rules" adherence since you'd be flagging people versus using a separate handheld light. In practice if the light has enough spill you can low ready and avoid flagging while also still being able to search.I think the only thing that bags Ayoob is the fact his heyday was in the 80s / 90s and his advice in some areas has aged poorly with the progression of technology. Flashlights sucked ass compared to now in 1985.His Stressfire books though are very good. His shotgun one has aged surprisingly very well.If you want the opposite end of Ayoob, look to Gabriel Suarez. He's probably closer to the modern guntuber than the older school guys, and a lot of his stuff has aged like ass compared to Ayoob.
>>62876299>>62876314lol, i had to send a NuColt back to colt on an RMA because when i dropped the slide the sear would sometimes not engage and the hammer would drop with the slide. i discovered this while i was on the range and had a boom when i shouldnt have. luckily the gun was pointed down range as it was supposed to be
>>62877141>His shotgun one has aged surprisingly very well.probably because shotgun tech hasn't changed at all
>>62877152I disagree, especially when it comes to optics and other go-fast shit from 3-gun like brakes. Muzzle brakes on shotguns are surprisingly very effective. I'm not talking the standoff breacher mallninja chokes, I'm talking GK-02s and V6s. He advocates in Stressfire II for anything that reduces recoil and increases on-target speed.
>>62877175>noooo you need muh gamer shotgun with all muh mall ninja gamer gear for home defense or you will die paul literally killed a guy with a stock winchester 1912
>>62877197Kinda missing the point there. Training and a good gun > accessories any day of the week, but it's the brake that gives you a 5% edge which matters in 3-gun and may help in gunfighting cases. He'd probably also approve of Matchsavers and other such accessories. Flight control wads are huge and advocated for by DocGKR too.
>>62877421the flight control wad thing makes sense because I thing garand dick showed in a vid buckshot with flight control out of a cylinder bore grouped tighter than chocked buckshot
>>62877454DocGKR advocates for Fed Flight Control #1 as the ultimate tactical buckshot. It splits the difference between 00 and #4 buck while producing a very tight pattern.Some people prefer 12 pellet magnum 00, since the spread is wider at HD distances, but that produces a flier problem which is unacceptable for cops. Good to keep in mind DocGKR, Ayoob, Suarez, etc all have LE backgrounds and write accordingly, so us civs do have to adapt slightly.
>>62877469>civis
>>62876299>dropping the slide on an empty chamber will damage semi-auto pistols.Why is this the biggest controversy in guns for some stupid reason? It is definitely the case for SOME guns. May not be the case for your glawk, but it is the case for some old semi-autos. Why has it devolved into always false or always true too? I can understand the always true people trying to actively prevent people from beating on old guns due to unfamiliarity, even if it's not the case with modern pistols. The always false people just seem to get off on not caring, which is fine if you want to do what you want do with your stuff. However, if you get some young guy who gets his grandpa's old Beretta M1934 that he ends up treating like a fidget toy because "it's just a fuddlore myth, goontuber X told me!" and then he's sad when it breaks. Well then, if only he listened to the fudds that told him not to drop it like it's hot. It's like the dry firing is a myth thing. I used to think that it was a myth too, at least for new centerfire guns. Then my Beretta Pico needed a new firing pin because I was dry fire practicing with it too much.
at least we still have...
>>62864809>Hop & BrassWho's a top and who's a bottom? They're def fags.
>>62878121Brass is the bottom, Reeves is the top, hop likes to watch in the corner, Ian operates the camera, Karl empties the cum chalice when it gets full Source: I observed this via astral projection after accidentally ingesting psychoactive mushrooms during a five hour goon sesh

>>62878333Trips checked, those mushrooms are serious shit.
>>62878102>at least we still have...is that commie still bffs with that satanist and antifa dude?
>>62876239The problem is the GWOT is over. Veterans with real experience are aging. And no first world country is fighting a competent enemy so we're not getting any more. We're reentering that 1990s soldier of fortune, dated experience, has-beens in denial or blissful ignorance, loudmouth toughguys with a gut era. The longer you go without living that sleeping in the field, eating MREs for days on end, lugging heavy fucking comm gear, getting your boots and socks wet, pulling firewatch reality of soldiering the more disconnected you get with said reality. And the more misguided your opinions and advice get. Relevant experience was, is, and will always be the ultimate shit filter. Like nobody denies guys like Casey Stoner and Mick Doohan were lethally fast on a GP bike, but their opinions on the current aero bikes with perfect TCS and ride height devices aren't but so valuable.Also yeah James airing out your difficulty with basic gun assembly really did a number on the value I assign to your gun opinions. It's not unreasonable to buy something and expect it to work without you figuring it out but damn bro, you've been into guns for how long? Back in 2013 when I was a gun noob I got one of the Mossberg 500s that made it through QC with a bad shell release hook. I diagnosed it myself, fixed it myself(it was easy) and carried on. Maybe it's the autism, but I'm unsatisfied with only having a surface level understanding of my hobby, and I sure wouldn't make videos espousing my experiences and opinions on said hobby if I knew I didn't have an advanced understanding. I don't hate you bro but pls consider being better.
I don't dislike guys like Hop and BF. I think there's some value to their reviews of guns and accessories. However, all of their other content is simply theoretical. They've never been in combat or a survival situation. They go on hikes, camp, and shoot at static targets out in the woods or in the Utah wastelands. That's all fun, but it's not force-on-force. They can't tell you with any authority what will and will not work in a real combat or a real self-defense scenario like certain other people can.I think that's one of my main pet peeves with most guntubers. Instead of covering topics relevant to the average guy who carries a concealed gun for personal defense, they jump straight to SHTF WROL TEOTWAWKI GOON LARP nonsense where society collapses and America turns into Mad Max or whatever. And it's especially annoying that most of the guntubers doing this shit have never been in combat. They've never been shot at. They've never been in a war zone. Everything they say is theoretical and just a fun "what if" fantasy they present to you while they shill whatever bullshit they sold their integrity for.
>>62881099Ian stopped dealing with Karl in public years ago and I've seen screenshots of Karl since then that seem to show that he distanced himself from Karl privately as well.I know you or one of your sycophants is reading this post Karl. Just remember that you're a faggot, a cuck and a nigger and always will be.
>>62881805They don't pretend that they've been in combat. One guy mainly talks about if he likes a gun or not, if he likes a scope or not, if he likes a laser or not all the while describing the qualities of it after using it for x time to try to better inform the consumer so we don't have everyone buying up shitty Sig 320s and then finding out they're self NDing into people's legs. The other guy does the same except he DOES theorize about SHTF scenarios so that would be a negative in his favor from your point of view.
>>62881805Guntubers do need to do a better job of disclosing financial relationships. Too many times you find out down the road somebody is getting a cut from a company, and you wonder if what they're testing is a special sample or they went easy on it.
>>62881849>Ian stopped dealing with Karl in public years ago and I've seen screenshots of Karl since then that seem to show that he distanced himself from Karl privately as well.Ahhh, OK. I haven't kept up with eceleb shit in fucking years. I remember when Ian, Karl and that antifa guy (Deviant something) were prancing around in gear and jerking off to a possible boog.Speaking of ecelebs, I read in another thread that Garand Thumb was confirmed to be another fake christian with an impregnation fetish. Apparently, he wants ot have more kids than Genghis Khan.
>>62864827One of my crowning achievements in nearly 20 years on /k/ was calling out a post that sounded like James and having him reply with proof that it was actually him. I don't even think it was a relevant thread to him or Hop, I could just tell by the writing style that it was him shitposting.
>>62871153>hop lives in town in Salemoh dang, I'm about to move to Bend, which isn't that far. I wonder if I'll ever run into him at a range or something.
>>62882042you won’t because she doesn’t train, only bottoms for her hapa boyfriend
>>62882016Can't help you on GT. Never really watched him. He came from /arg/ and /gq/ and that's more than enough for me to dislike him.
>>62881805>I think that's one of my main pet peeves with most guntubers. Instead of covering topics relevant to the average guy who carries a concealed gun for personal defense, they jump straight to SHTF WROL TEOTWAWKI GOON LARP nonsense where society collapses and America turns into Mad Max or whatever.They do this because most are paid shills. There’s no way to grow a serious gun channel without getting sponsorships due to the prices associated with guns and ammo. The older guntubers who built their credibility and followings prior to demonetization were mostly boomers showing off their collections they had amassed over the decades, and they could cover their ammo costs with Google Adsense money. Now younger guntubers mostly do the “video essay” format, since you can’t reasonably burn through 1k rounds of ammo per video to “review” a gun and expect to make any money.
>>62882016>Garand Thumb was confirmed to be another fake christian with an impregnation fetish. Apparently, he wants ot have more kids than Genghis Khan.Based garoid nigger
>>62882016>Speaking of ecelebs, I read in another thread that Garand Thumb was confirmed to be another fake christian with an impregnation fetish.Yup. He pushes this image of being a "based" trad Christian man with a tradwife living the trad life. However, it turns out he's an insatiable coomer who has cheated on his wife numerous times with IG thots. Being a dude with a couple of ex-wives, multiple side pieces and god knows how many kids typically wouldn't be relevant, but Mike stupidly decided to publicly larp as a good Christian man, so now he's a blatant hypocrite who publicly denied any cheating whatsoever.DAD ADVICE: Don't cheat on your wife with IG thots and destroy yet another marriage and fuck up the relationship you have with your children while telling your fans "it's all just rumors!!!" lmao.
>tfw no Hop gf
>>62882151based. I deserve a qt Hop boywife
>>62882124>Being a dude with a couple of ex-wives, multiple side pieces and god knows how many kids typically wouldn't be relevantI'm gonna disagree. I do think it would still matter to people even if he didn't build up an entire persona that was completely opposite of what he is. He's still a scumbag, and even if he were honest about it, most people wouldn't want to watch, and thus support, a complete scumbag. A lot of people say the worst part of the garandthumb thing is the hypocrisy. I think it is the complete nog tier behavior that's left multiple children fatherless, broken homes, disgusting attempts at picking up gunthots well married, and steroids.
>>62882002Things get incredibly murky when there are channels who's entire bread and butter are reviews of guns and gear. Even if they don't receive direct financial compensation for a review it's still in their own best self interest to maintain a good relationship with the companies they deal with which means if they start shitting on a company's products they'll stop receiving review samples, which means they now have to buy it themselves if they want to make a video, which harms their bottom line. This is doubly true for channels that normally get review samples ahead of product release dates or channels reviewing really expensive shit. And that's not even getting into the mountains of 'reviews' that are just some guy receiving a gun, shooting it over a range trip, then declaring it 100% good to go totally worth your money amazing product ten out of ten pls just trust me bro.
>>62882249Very true. My issue is less them not shitting on the product but more them either going easy on it or being nonchalant with receiving "youtube special" versions of the product they're testing.
>>62882211>He's still a scumbag, and even if he were honest about it, most people wouldn't want to watch, and thus support, a complete scumbagYou underestimate the simping GT's fanboys are currently engaged in. Most of his viewers aren't even aware of the divorce drama, and most of the ones who are are coping about how it's all just rumors and even if there's some truth to it, who cares!Look at GBRS and all the scummy shit they've done. Their simps don't care. None of the controversies have really hurt them.
Stop watching youtube, it rots your brain.

>>62881805DESU shooting turdies as part of the most powerful military in the world doesn't give you relevant knowledge for prepared citizens either. Its what leads to the goobers has beens saying retarded shit like you don't need a dump pouch. Its near impossible to get relevant experience for how a prepared citizen would act in SHTF. The best you can probably do is to go some hell hole in africa. And that wont be anything like America either. larping in the mountains is at least something and they don't pretend to be experts anyways. Just guys with ideas. FWIW Paul Harrell also had a lot of videos about similar topics. And he also qualified everything he said too. What's the difference?
>>62886036>shooting turdies as part of the most powerful military in the world doesn't give you relevant knowledge for prepared citizens either.It depends. I've seen GWOT combat vets on YT be very clear about the difference between being in a civilian militia and being in a real military with the kind of support and supply that comes with. Some of the vets out there are really good at explaining how combat in the middle east does and does not apply to a domestic situation.>Its what leads to the goobers has beens saying retarded shit like you don't need a dump pouch.They were door kickers. They can't offer much useful advice for a prepared citizen. The few guys I watch on YT who give good advice come from a light infantry perspective. "What you can carry is what you have, retain your mags, etc." They know there would be no resupply or other nice things that dudes like the GBRS guys had backing them up.>larping in the mountains is at least something and they don't pretend to be experts anyways. Just guys with ideas.I'm not saying there's nothing useful in their videos. I like Hop and BF. I'm just saying, there are a lot of guntubers who do the whole tactical loadout shooting in the woods with NODs stuff, but people need to keep in mind that there are other, more realistic threats they should be focusing on.Like I said in the post you responded to, it's just annoying that so many guntubers focus on the tacticool shit instead of practical stuff for everyday scenarios. On the other hand, I get it -- people obviously like watching the tacticool stuff. You'll get far more views on a plate carrier loadout video than on a video explaining how to purify water.
>>62882016>ChristianOkay.>Impregnation fetishBretty cool also it's ackshually relevant to the bibble.>More kids than genghis khanThat nigga basically a hero to christian europe fucking with the muslims preventing another invasion although it was indirectly. Only real problem is the cheating. I don't get why you'd want to fuck something that doesn't fit you like a nice pair of worn in jeansT. Venus thread enjoyer.
>>62886036>Its near impossible to get relevant experience for how a prepared citizen would act in SHTF.You can look at historical natural disasters and SHTF tier events to find some common themes and go from there, the problem is that survival typically boils down to having a few weeks worth of food/water saved up, having a means of self defense, and being able to quickly gtfo of wherever you're located at in a moments notice. There are only so many videos you can put out on those topics before running the content well dry so a lot of youtubers start covering things that are only tangentially related to immediate survival and start getting lost in the sauce.
>>62885916>dat gay orgybearded guy is the only one with some T. rest are fuckholes.
>>62886496>There are only so many videos you can put out on those topics before running the content well dryI'm not sure about that. Survival in fucked up situations is a pretty complex topic. There are actually quite a lot of details that a subject matter expert could make videos on. The real problem for YouTubers is that most people find these topics boring. They'd rather watch a guy in full battle rattle mag dumping into an offscreen paper target 15 yards away while epic cinematic music plays. "BEST SHTF RIFLE BUILD 2024!!!"
>>62881849didn't Ian used to run a dive bar? also I think he said something about how poor people shouldn't own guns.
>>62887904I'm far from an expert but I think I remember something about him bartending while in college or something. I watched his really really old videos years ago, I don't even know of they're still up, but he also built himself an off-grid dome house thing and showed his wife iirc., guessing they're probably gone because of that.
>>62866147>t.
What's with all the hate for Nova Group? The dog is cute, every video is just rail-enthusiast-level breakdowns of gear and basic theory with no posturing about having "been there" (ten years ago), and the basic MO is to just go camping/drinking on BLM land and hungover-shoot a few thousand PMC bronze/magtech steel case during the day to see if random item #759 people are talking about breaks or not.
>>62888039zero tolerance for fun
>>62888039I think they're fine. They're nowhere near as grating as most of the other guntubers who make the same SHTF apocalypse boog tacticool video slop over and over. I mean look at Garand Thumb, who just posted the 6 millionth "how to set up a plate carrier" video the other day. Who the fuck is that video even supposed to be for? Most of his subscribers are kids and dudes in countries where they can't even buy armor or guns.
>>62864809You have zero training or understanding of tactics. Why are gun forum troons so fucking retarded?
>>62881238The GWOT was bad here because it created a huge industry of wannabe Rambos who carried cargo and chain-smoked for 8 years and then came home to regale everyone with their elaborate tales of killing 500 Iraqis.
>>62878102My bell curve was loving Ian, hating Ian when I discovered channels like C&Rsenal or The Armorer's Bench, and then returning to loving Ian because his presentation of material is just so much better than anyone else's in that little submarket.
>>62876299>First example of ayoooooooob's fuddlore that comes to mind is 1911 supremacy,A custom 1911 actually is the best pistol in terms of ergos/pointability and trigger, though. This is not really up for debate. Those are very important attributes when it comes to hitting your target. The only downsides of the 1911 are weight, capacity, and recoil. 2011s kind of solve this problem, but regular 1911s in 45 ACP are still good guns.>the second is that dropping the slide on an empty chamber will damage semi-auto pistols.This is actually true for the 1911 because of how the internal extractor also plays a role in feeding. You don't want to slam it into another steel surface and deform it.
>>62864809>retard can't assemble a gunYeah, but he's OUR retard. James has said multiple times he doesn't have the patience to assemble
>>62881238>We're reentering that 1990s soldier of fortune, dated experience, has-beens in denial or blissful ignorance, loudmouth toughguys with a gut eraSounds fucking based to me
