Not only do I hate his ignorant takes, the fact that his simps in the comments always agree 100% with his idiotic opinions, like golems, is particularly worthy of hate.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqlKXrwmRMQIf he had the ability to read and ever read a study about actual combat ranges in past wars, he would know that 300+ meters is normal in open ground.
>>65411997>simps in the comments always agreeThey aren't actual people. Youtube runs bots to keep content creators engaged because they think they're getting attention. What you're looking at is a digital crack-addicted man. It's sad actually.
He is right and the M7 is [Current Year] M14
>>65412010Botpost. shilling dead internet theory. They want us to feel isolated brothers
The sigga M14 is just that

>>65411997>t. siggerSage grows in all of the fields, anons.
>>65412071They are fools thenIf I cared about being alone I wouldn't be on the internet
>>65412084Yep.>>65411997>If he had the ability to read and ever read a study about actual combat ranges in past wars, he would know that 300+ meters is normal in open ground.Which is why we have designated marksmen and machine gunners with GPMGs. You don't need to pretend to turn everyone into a designated marksman by giving him a battle rifle with a subpar MOA. A gun design that was 6-12 MOA when selected and now gets 3 MOA now that it's "fixed" won't be effective at long distances.>>65412141>Sage grows in all of the fields, anons.Thank God.
>>65412069>>65412080it's a man-portable M2
>>65412069>>65412080The M14 was bad because it was long, heavy, and difficult to control in full-auto. The M7 is none of those things.
>>65411997So uhh, you gonna refute arguments or just seethe?
>>65411997He's right, they should have gone for a sabot round if they needed an armour piercing round(which they don't)
>>65413924It's not long, you're right there.
>>65411997My favourite thing is when he makes his own theories and assumptions about old guns and why things were done a certain way then confidently states them as fact. He should really cut down on talking about things when he doesn't have a good book or source that he can read from out loud.
What bothers me the most is he sees himself as a "publisher." Like copy+pasting wikipedia and Google images into a hipster leather book and selling it to paypigs is an accomplishment.
>>65411997
Very botlike thread and replies.
Should've just stuck with the AR15 platform and adopted Jim's improvements
>>65411997Imagine being a sigger shill and asshurt about this
>>65414174>No I will not provide examples of this, just assume that I'm right
>>65414259the haters always do that, make vague claims but never give actual specific examples or, god forbid, actual timestamps.I just assume they're brown /pol/oids.
What if your design by committee rifle just sucks and there isn't a grand conspiracy to besmirch the greatest rifle on earth?
>>65414259It's textbook babby's first character assassination attempt.
>>65414259I believe someone found an early variant of the ar10 (or potentially ar15, but more likely the 10) which had the carry handle without the trigger charging handle, with this suggesting "no, the carry hand was put there as a carry handle" as opposed to "using this as a carry handle is retarded and just a holdover from when it protected the charging handle". To be fair, I'm not sure if that interpretation of the carry handle originated with Ian
>>65414181What have you accomplished?Many research jobs are like that, you get paid for reading what has been published prior, and you repackage that accrued knowledge to a presentation of some sort.
>>65415761nobody made a carry handle integrated into the receiver before or since. who the fuck wants their sights so high anyway
>>65411997>BBBEEEEEEPPPI just hate how he talks like a faggot and thinks trying 3 gun video game style competition shooting makes him equal to a military trained shooter
>>65411997>If he had the ability to read and ever read a study about actual combat ranges in past wars, he would know that 300+ meters is normal in open ground.So true, Sigster! Infantrymen with normal rifles regularly engage at those ranges all the time!>>65412010This is wishful thinking, the world is full of midwits and idiots.>>65413991Saboted 5.56mm could potentially be interesting in limited roles, though it'll require some new kind of muzzle device, nobody wants to go without a flash hider.>>65414259He always posts that. He gets angry and stubborn when you ask him for examples, or provide actual counterexamples.

>>65411997>If he had the ability to read and ever read a study about actual combat ranges in past wars, he would know that 300+ meters is normal in open ground.He explicitly mentions this in the first three minutes and comes to the very logical conclusion that the best way to deal with the occasional long range engagements is drones, DMR roles are effectively redundant now that dirt cheap drones are a thing.
>>65411997>people who listen to AI music like Jade green ball pretending they have original thoughtsM7 defenders should kill themselves
>>65411997>300m+ is normal for open groundThe US military's rifle marksmanship is abysmal rendering the use of precision rifles moot for most.
>>65412141Blessed post, thank you for the wisdom oh wise Sage
>>65414259>>65414277Off the top of my head I can recall watching his Al Kadesih video recently and him being wrong about the SVD flash hider (he claims it's left hand threaded while on the SVD the front sight post and the flash hider are a solid piece of steel that is pressed and pinned onto the barrel), also he claims the polymer pistol grip cap isn't present on the original SVD (it is) and acts confused as to why it's there when it's very self-explanatory.His videos are entertaining and educational but if you watch him talk about a gun you're thoroughly familiar with, you will notice him floundering and guessing sometimes or just being outright wrong, it's nothing terrible but it does happen.
>>65414174>>65416169To add to this I found it doubly strange because he has an older SVD video up so it's not like he has never handled the real deal.
>>65415707Ian was sucking off the M7 when it first releasedeven the pants on retarded 2 charging handles
>>65411997This would have been good enough Just sayin
>>65416055But you've posted a list of shitty guns.
>>65412071i really, really wish you were right
>>65416183Lame concession, but I'll take it.
>>65413924In its issued configuration, isn't the m7 4 pounds heavier than the m14?
>>65415974>t. military trained shooter
>>65414181Anon as someone who actually researches, writes and publishes for a living you have no idea how retarded your post was. What sort of moron thinks published materials need to be comprised of breaking information to be worthwhile?
>>65416179Do you have a link to him doing this?
>>65415974>equal to a military trained shooterthat's not very hard desu
the m7 got selected because generals, boards, and overt-totally-not-corruption pay for playit is by design a humiliation ritual for those unfortunate enough to have to use itthe cerebral portion of the shoot at people professionally multicam wearing organization, known as socum, is doing what any reasonable person would do - simply pick a large frame ar or two and chamber it in a long range precision cartridge (6.5)any high pressure case tech is applicable across all chamberingsamerican sig is irredeemable garbage
>>65416646>humiliation ritualI hate that phrase. no one even uses it right anymore, now it just means "thing I don't like". but yeah, the M7 is shit
>>65416657anyone using the rifle is only carting it around so scott miller gets to be paid 100k/quarter to attend sigs board meetings and pad his pensions - quite humiliatingbut the thought that the scope could bluescreen itself is 10/10 funny
>>65416672it's still not a "humiliation ritual"and if the scope shits itself it just works as a regular scope. which from what I heard happens quite often.
>>65411997retard
>>65415761>>65416169He says in a Q and A he's not perfect, he doesn't know everything and he's bound to make some mistakes in nearly every video. Especially since he's covering so much stuff
>>65411997I'm not sure when this happened, but at some point stopped being willing to do any independent research...like even on their own hobbies, and EVERYTHING became the social aspect instead, gaining knowledge became infinitely less important than the feeling of belonging and togetherness.What I'm saying is Ian's guard dogs are retards who are in the game to feel like "one of the boys" instead of a sincere interest, so to criticize McCollum is to threaten their parasocial relationship and by extension their entire "hobby"
>>65416684>and if the scope shits itself it just works as a regular scope.That's a 10k dollar "regular" scope, I want my fucking money back. What a piss poor excuse/explanation
>>65416620Not him, but Ian has deleted older videos that clash with his newer opinions. Been watching him since 2012, when I look now, there's a TON of shit he's deleted, some of it was stuff where he was sillier and less serious. But I can confirm, in his first video discussing the M7, he does actually like it and call it a good idea. Now I'm glad he's the sort of person capable of changing their mind, but to back track, call the M7 a bad idea while deleting the evidence of you calling it a good idea is a WAY WORSE look than simply admitting you had a change of mind after more facts became available. But he didn't, he his it instead.He's nothing more than a businessman who is concerned for his image and "brand." He's still overall very good so I still watch him.
>>65415974>makes him equal to a military trained shooterNo, it makes him much much better.t. military trained shooter
>>65416684>it's still not a "humiliation ritual"Why not? You (or the users) are being humiliated using shitty equipment just so some fat old guy (your superior) can get paid some amount of money.
>>65416745>post evidence he said these things>uhhhh he deleted them allBruh.
>>65416738>What a piss poor excuse/explanationnigga couldn't read my next sentence. there was no excuse.>>65416773look, I can see that you are adamant on using that phrase even though you don't know what it means. so go ahead, I don't care anymore.
It's wild that no one is pointing out that this rifle doesn't actually exist. Just on paper and a few mockups for pictures and demonstrations. Sig is getting paid because they have dirt on several people. There's a better chance Nork ballistic missiles exist than this fancy sig rifle.
>>65416733Borderline chatbot post
>>65416787Like I said, been watching since 2012, he's taken down videos that contradict or make him look too silly. Not backing down on it.>>65416793No actual input? Got it.
>>65412010The same thing happens here on 4chan and you faggots pretend you're having conversations with real people.
>>65416802Can you provide the videos that he removed? I'm generally curious
>>65416792bot or retard?>>65416802>just trust me, bro
>>65416826>bot or retard?Yes
>>65416802Sure thing buddy, I believe ya.
>>65416745go away karl
>>65416843Don't get me started on that freak. He needs to focus on old west content only, it's the only thing he still does well.
>>65416802He has had to remove a lot of videos because youtube is gay and retarded and hates firearms and personal freedom.
>>65416733ESL rambling or mental illness, call it.
>>65416850Interesting. I follow some other big name guys who haven't done that, and they still shoot full auto in their videos rather than making up a lie that youtube will punish them and so can't show full auto fire.
>>65416802you argue with as much bad faith and disingenuousness as a redditor
>>65416862Buddy I don't know why you claim to watch and like Ian and then say bullshit like this. YT has notoriously gone after guntubers and demanded they take down videos for one reason or another (consistency be damned) if not outright removing them themselves. Even smalltimers like Duelist1954, who btw was centered on fucking BP and vowboy guns, has had this issue.https://youtu.be/-i2cIOG9-tI
>>65414174>"UHM DO YOU HAVE A SOURCE FOR THAT?">"I SEE NO CITATION HERE! CHECKMATE!">"UHM HAS THAT BEEN FACTCHECKED BY SNOPES!?" Back2Reddit with ya
>>65416935You're coming off like the guy OP is complaining about
the only thing that matters is if the video game ghost recon scope baloney actually works and if their special non tungsten AP round actually exists and works.
>>65411997who cares about army studies in controlled environments when chaos is the rule, not the exception? if you believe your theory is just, then why don't you paradrop into Iraq and Iran and find out? test your theory against the mountains, the dense cities, and the numerous FPVs and drones wolfpacking the skyline?
Wish the haters would just outright say they hate him because of the Rhodie FAL bullshit and stop being women by coming up with outright lies and/or nebulous grievances like you see in here. We all know why you're pissy, you're not fooling anyone, just lay out the real reason even though you know it outs you as tourists.
>>65417136Lol you tell em
>>65417122>studies in controlled environmentsBecause they're controllable and repeatable.
>>65416862>>65416896Even JaredAF, who almost exclusively does videos about Olympic-style bullseye pistol shooting got a community guideline strike for "demonstrating automatic fire" when youtube's bots mistook the sound of a snare drum in the background music of his video for automatic gunfire.He appealed it and YT's "manual reviewers" still upheld the completely senseless verdict issued by a confused AI bot.
>>65416862>expecting people to take you seriously when you're acting like Jewtube's policy enforcement for gun channels has been anything close to resembling consistent or even logical
>>65417174one of my favs was hickok getting like a half dozen vids nuked because his sponsorships violated some guideline. they didn't even get all of his vids that had that sponsor, and his was the only gun channel that got hit for it period. it's just fucking anarchy.
>>65416618>Anon as someone who actually researches, writes and publishes for a living you have no idea how retarded your post was.He thinks such work is no different from his school bullshit
>>65416787>Bruh.A fuck ton of content from 10 years ago doesn't exist on youtube anymore, at best you might find a handful of reuploads by third-party users.
>>65417255anon you can't say someone is a lying hypocrite and then say none of the evidence exists and everyone just has to trust you
>>65415966The sights aren't even high enough to fully take advantage of the "inline recoil" without either being a necklet or scrunching your head way down. Unfortunately the repositioned charging handle precludes a cheek riser so there's no real solution. Thankfully 5.56 recoil is so light that it doesn't matter.
>>65417501>The sights aren't even high enough to fully take advantage of the "inline recoil" without either being a necklet or scrunching your head way down."scrunching your head way down" is how you're supposed to take advantage of that shit. That's kindergarten-grade basic firearms knowledge.That's blatantly obvious to everyone that has shot a rifle with a good combination of low sights and a correctly deigned stock.It genuinely makes the process of getting sights on target significantly faster.Although it seems like this basic fact has been lost on the zoomer generation of GBRS-tards, the instagram-following faggots that obsess over LARP-shit memeery like their sight's compatibility with $20k NODs mounted on Level-VI Polybullshit helmets that they'll never fucking own.
>>65417136nailed it
>>65417767I haven't seen someone make that complaint for awhile, how do we know that's why?
>>65417136i'm not terminally online enough to know what you are referring to. would you mind giving me a TLDR?
>>65417136Nah, I think he's dumb because he instantly caved when he tried to sell that Azov biography. Who cares what normies think?
>>65417893Ian went to South Africa and said he didn't see an ongoing genocide of white people, which pissed off a lot of people.Then one of those gay Brutality matches banned people from wearing Rhodie camo, and since Ian was Karl's business partner this also set people off.Since then there's been consistent posting about Ian being a gay communist anti-gunner. But because the claims don't pass the smell test and Ian has since distanced himself from Karl Kasarda they had to come up with different reasons to hate him such as claiming that all he does is plagiarize Wikipedia or hold him personally accountable for the fanbase being a bunch of cringe redditors.
>>65418091He couldn't have predicted that the Russian invasion would have completely whitewashed Azov's image, and he didn't piss off "normies" - he pissed off a lot of his core audience, who are the people who buy the books.While it's another instance of cosmic irony fucking with Ian, from what I heard the book isn't even a particularly good read so whatever.
>>65418091>Who cares what normies think?Normie businessmen care A LOT about that.
reddit gun made by reddit arms for the reddit army
>>65418319Ian is reddit personified so it's fitting
>>65418336I don't know if he's reddit personified so much as what he IS draws in reddit personified.Think about it, he's a complete normie with typical social skills, but he looks and acts just quirky enough for faggots and redditors to think he's just like "them." The hair and facial hair lets him be a social chameleon. As a businessman, I think Ian McCollum is brilliant, I think he's incredibly aware of his personal "brand" and is socially apt enough because he's a normie to make an obscene amount of personal and business connections.
>>65418336I don't know how you can say that when Karl, who is in an actual confirmed redditor with his own sub that he admins, and who acts like a typical redditor, exists. You're probably a dumb nigger.
>>65418091believe it or not people who are trying to make money care a fucking lot when the payment processor for their company threatens to blacklist it. shocking I know.
>>65416790NTA but it is demoralizing for the users.
>>65411997Fuck sig, seriously, fuck siggers
>>65418437>Ian does not use reddit
>>65418537Oh dear you have horrible reading comprehension too, you actually ARE a dumb nigger.
>>65418336anon how do you know about ian and not his former associate that>associates with troons>was kicked out of the church of satan for being too obnoxious>is an open cuck>appeared in a WIRED article about far-leftist gun owners>is an avowed socialistseems like a funny oversight on your part
>>65418562nice AI slop saar
>>65416792So this is the power of "muh sig corruption" posters.
>>65416733What a bunch of gay nonsense, people in the comments argue his points back and forth all the time.>>65416745>But I can confirm, in his first video discussing the M7, he does actually like it and call it a good idea.I do remember that, and I do remember me and a lot of other people telling him he was wrong.>>65416862Why are you being dishonest? Do you work at Google?
>>65416792>>65418573
>>65416896Rest in peace, Mike, you were a cornerstone of BPtube.>>65417174But remember, AI is the future!>>65417189Ian was affected by that too. Recently, one of his very old videos on the Farqhuar Hill rifle (I think from 2014 or so), was nixed because YouTube suddenly decided it was NOT ok for him to have thanked LuckyGunner.com for sending him some free boxes of .303 British to shoot the gun with.>>65418118Truthnuke.>>65418123Honestly, that turn of events was so fucking funny. All the lefty troons screeching about Azov and how Ian was a heckin nazi now! Then the invasion happens and the script has to be changed, and they pretend like nothing now.
>>65417261That's not how the burden of proof works, the guy making the initial claim has to substantiate it first.
>>65418620You agree with me in admitting you witnessed something all other anons are claiming didn't happen, but you still attack me like some niggers pitbull. Whatever man
>>65414259I turn on Drachinifel because it puts me to sleep while being interesting enough. Him and Ian just basically make up shit while running through a logical exercise with no input either historically, personally or from people who experienced it anecdotally.Kind of annoying really. I can pull shit from my ass too, but I usually use the qualifiers of, "I'd imagine, because," instead of just saying it.
>>65418565Not him, but that pic is OLD. It's genuine.
>>65418742I agreed with you on a single point.
>>65418745I've watched a lot of both. They have to be aware their viewership takes their word as gospel, so I don't understand from an intellectual integrity standpoint why they both depend so much on conjecture. Maybe they don't think they're being taken word for word, but that'd largely be wrong, and I think it's actually pretty irresponsible playing fast and loose
>>65415761It was intended as a carry handle from the get go. The Black Rifle has an excerpt from Jacques Michault that talks about how him and George Sullivan originally came up with the concept of a lightweight aluminum and fiberglass rifle with a straight-line stock, and how the necessary super high rear sight could double as a scope mount and carry handle. They took the idea to Fairchild and that's how Armalite was spawned.
>>65418879I need to read that book, bought it years ago and read maybe 20 pages and never went back to it
>>65416179A lot of people supported the M7 as a way to get polymer cases into military circulation.But no one thought SIG was going to win.The program was a thin excuse to adopt the Textron LSAT that the army spent 20 years paying for.How that flopped who fucking knows, but it is one of the most overlooked examples of total incompetency ever.
>>65415974i handed a nigger in our unit a pistol to do qual, never shot a pistol or even picked one up before, kept trying to rack the slide each round, and failed by one fucking shot. Mil standards are in the gutter
>>65422079The Textron division working on it was formerly AAI, who have a long, storied history of making stupid bullshit that falls flat on its face in trials.
>>65422271Sure, but at least AAI designed the M203, even if they lost the production contract for it to Colt, lmao.
>>65422079>How that flopped who fucking knows,SIG bribed everyone.
>>65422079CT ammo looks promising, but I don't know how good the precision is with it.
>>65411997ok
>>65422341From the brief reading I did, looks like troops had an easier time hitting targets with the LSAT than the SAW.
>>65415974The US mil shoots at massive targets within mpbr and have trouble zeroing their rifles during qual. If someone has competed well in shooting competitions then they are better than most of the US mil.https://youtu.be/nwC1dbBjqFkhttps://youtu.be/YgQfiKxZx6Y
>>65422460Not him, but it gives him ammo to throw around yet more conjectures on things he shouldn't be conjecturing on. I love the guy, I love watching (most) of his videos, but I wish he'd guess and infer less, or at least present his inferring as his personal opinion and best guess.
>>65422460>>65422474Wanted to add on to this >or at least present his inferring as his personal opinion and best guess.Thinking about it more, he does sometimes present the disclaimer that he's giving his best guess, which I do appreciate
>>65422474>>65422482Are you talking about Ian or FUNshoot?I agree Ian isn't an expert overall but claiming not having military training means he knows less than mil personnel is funny. I take Ian's videos as an introduction on their topic as he's more a historian than an engineer.
>>65413924It's all of those things except long, but only because everyone bitched a lot, and it makes the fucking thing jump all over the place.
>>65413924well they chopped the length, so now it's short, heavy, difficult to control in full-auto, and now its neutering the whole purpose of the gun in the first place: velocity.
>>65411997I find it bizarre how emotionally involved people get with complete strangers on the internet. Why are people getting so emotional about a stranger who makes 5 minute videos about old gun? You will almost certainly never meet this guy why should your emotional approval matter in the slightest?
>>65413924>>65416220The M7 is heavier than the M14 by a little less than a pound if you include the suppressor (which you should, considering how much fucking pressure the round uses)
>>65412010Watch a video on trucks todayAll of the first comments recommended the Stellantis 1500, I know zero people that would do this IRL
>>65422079The NGSW program was specifically designed to prevent the army from adopting the LSAT.
>>65422627>fullsize truck>2wdwhy does this configuration even exist?
>>65423485For retards like me that only drive on the highway/interstate but still need a bed. Although I'm probably going to get a Maverick because that 40mpg urban looks breddy good after driving a '98 jeep my entire life.
>>65423491mavrick is an suv, its just missing the roof on its back half
>>65423498You'll have to explain how that's different from any other truck because I legitimately dont know the difference.
>>65423485Unless you're a logger or live in Alaska 4x4 is a pointless feature for larpers
>>65423504I've lived in Maine and Buffalo NYI now live in coastal SE where everything not road is loose sand or mud, and I go offroad quite often, beach, logging roads, construction sites4x4 or at least AWD has been a requirement for me the last 15 years
>>65423485you can tell this guy was born after 2000 kek
>>65423512no, my first truck was a 2wd f150 in NY, shit was a deathtrap in the winter
>>65423511Did you have much trouble before then?
>>65423517my fwd hatchback did better in the winter than a rwd truckI would have to keep random junk in the bed of the truck just to keep the back wheels from spinning out every time I accelerated on snow
>>65422186>never shot a pistol or even picked one up beforeSounds like he was not properly trained to perform the task, sarnt.
>>65423502Unibody framemaverick and honda ridgeline frames are all one structure like an suvother trucks have separate cab and beds sitting on top of a framethe truck frame puts the axles and tow hitch more in line giving them better towing ability and allowing for the bed to be removed repaired or replaced really doesnt matter for light duty, I'm just being snobbish
>>65423540Ah, yeah that shit don't matter to me 'cause I really never have to haul anything heavy, it's just a colossal pain in the ass to move 2x4s or 2x6s otherwise and I need a lot of them and often. Interesting to know tho, thanks.
>>65423504Cosmopolitan faggot detected. Stick to public transport and your office job like the effeminate retard you are
>>65423637NTA but no truck is going to compensate for you being a fucking faggot.
>>65422627Depends on the year and how much truck you need. For a basic 1500 the 3.6 Pentastar/ZF8 combo will run without problems far beyond the point where the 4.8 or 5.3 Vortec will have lifter issues and the 6L80 will eat its torque converter. The hemi has its own stupid lifter problems, but still ZF8 >>>> Any GM 6/8/10 speed grenade.
>>65423664I don't even drive a truck, but it's always the urban dwellers who've never gotten their hands dirty that say retarded shit like that.
>>65415761The m8 i imagine
>>65423637Textbook projection4x2s are for work, every service truck, every landscape truck, every box truck, every roll off, is a white base model 4x2Gay overland car camper fags with ducks on their dashboards love 4x4, they NEED 4x4, and every other gay useless technological gizmo that the manufacturer offers
>>65423785If you live where the winters are severe you'll take any advantage you can get. 4x4 does make a difference during a storm. Maybe your conditions are different

>>65411997What's the main argument against this? Something about the recoil and weight? Pete's about to put zoomie grunts on TRT so they can have the same strength their great grandpa had when he shot the M1. Problem solved.
>>65424018He's testing troops over 30, not just handing out T in MREs or some shit
>>65424033Maybe he should
>>65424033>>65424040Slamming gear makes men gay. That's not a whack-ass conspiracy, that's the factually confirmed truth.Which is why it makes perfect sense that the habitually make-up-wearing ex-news anchor C-list running the war department insists that every man in the military should be slamming gear and conforming to his specified grooming standards.Standard performative masculinity bullshit.He's a textbook example of a closeted homo that loves the dick and hates women.But in all seriousness, TRT is no joke.You can't just use it for a while, see nothing but gains, and then stop.It often has serious side-effects, and once you start taking it, you permanently fuck up your body's ability to produce and regulate sex hormones.That means TRT is a lifelong commitment, and the military men taking it will be at the mercy of the VA for life.If the VA stops handing out their hormones, they'll be completely fucked.
>>65424069That's why, as it stands because I'm not a fucking Nostradamus, it's just going to be an option for over 30s who have low T. Good God dude this isn't the crazy gay Nazi super maga conspiracy you're making it out to be.
>>65424178>this isn't the crazy gay Nazi super maga conspiracy you're making it out to be.I'm not saying it's some grand and elaborate conspiracy.I'm just saying that Hegseth is a closeted homo sex-weirdo and that he's trying to turn the military into his own personal harem.That isn't very far fetched, at least not from a historical perspective.It has happened several times before (pic rel), including at least once in the US military way back when General Washington's continental army was being "drilled" by one of the most blatantly flaming homos in recorded history.
>>65424230von Steuben helped the Continental Army, better find a worse example if you're trying to paint what you're saying as a bad thing
>>65424239>von Steuben helped the Continental ArmyYeah, I'm not saying he didn't.But it can't be denied that he was a raging homo that saw the continental army as his personal supply of free unlimited man ass, and acted accordingly.If he'd been in a higher position of command (like Hegseth), and given free reign to make terrible decisions (like Hegseth), von Steuben may have let his unquenchable homo-lust get the better of him, leading to him making actively harmful short-sighted choices because he'd be thinking with his dick instead of his brain (like Hegseth).
>>65424230>Potsdam GiantsaAdmittidly that might have been less of a closeted homo sex thing and more weirdo autism gone unchecked. Like the unhinged nerd with really unhealthy attention to detail about whatever it is they're collecting. Though that said...>Friedrich tried to pair these men with tall women, in order to breed giantsIt very well could have been a closted homo sex thing.
oh ofc the hegseth closeted weirdo would show up in here lmfao
>>65424260>It very well could have been a closted homo sex thing.The man outright said (roughly translated): "The most beautiful woman in the world means nothing to me. Tall soldiers, that is my weakness."It was absolutely a weird homo sex thing. One that King Friedrich Wilhelm never admitted to in public. He did father children but he clearly didn't like for women.His homo self-hatred was obvious. His son, the legendary Big Freddy the Great, was also afflicted with the dreaded homosex.And when daddy found out his teenage son was getting freaky with another boy, he had his son's lover publicly executed as the young prince was forced to watch.Can't imagine why Frederik the Great openly hated his father and tried to distance himself from him to the point where he explicitly requested to be buried in the woods along with his dogs, instead of being buried next to his father in the royal cemetery...
>>65424277Look he's not gay anon he just has a really intense obsession with men pounding or wanting to pound boypussy throughout the centuries and uhhhhh okay yeah this guy's a raging faggot but can't come to terms with it so he's projecting on a likely fellow closeted politician. Weird.
>>65424287>>65424256>>65424230Can you possibly try writing your screeds without sounding like you have a raging hardon please

>>65423362The Army couldn't just adopt the LSAT. It would have to run a trial for it no matter what.Otherwise you'd get another XM8 debacle.
>>65418751Newfriends don't know. Newfriends don't remember.
>>65424647The XM8 exists because Colt was getting jewish with new M16s and M4s, and the army had to scare it to be reasonable again. If they were really serious about a new rifle, they would've ultimately adopted the G36. Of course, FN stepped up, and Colt was still rightfully told to fuck itself.
>>65424734Mein Gott. He is so dysgenic.
>>65411997...went against the grain thread! Oh no! Let's punish the OP with a bunch of (You)s
>>65424885Thank god we didn't go for a plastic rifle.
>>65424885The G36/XM8 was a general's pet project and was quietly swept under the rug because said general flagrantly violated procurement laws.
>>65416105US army rifle quad shoots in dynamic positions, timed, multiple target presentations at once, with multiple reloads, out to 300m what are you comparing this too? I'm not convinced that all these random militaries are training to a better standard. which ones?
>>65424287>He left instructions that he should be buried next to his greyhounds on the vineyard terrace of Sanssouci. His nephew and successor Frederick William II instead ordered he be entombed next to his father in the Potsdam Garrison ChurchWhat an asshole lmao, couldn't even respect his final wishes
>>65424734>these are the people that kicked Karl out of their special club for society's rejects, because he was just too insufferableLOL, LMAO even.

>>65412158May allah forgive me for uttering this word, but the Russians actually had the right of it with x54 for DMR and GPMG, and - well then they fucked it up bieng dyslexic between 5.45 and 7.62 but you get the idea. There will never be a one cartridge for every role, you just have to decide where you draw that dividing line. Either Long-range specialists get the heavy bullet and everybody else the lighter, or everybody gets the medium-heavy bullet and less frontliners get the ancillary (Think cold war 9mm for some and for others 7.62x51).>>65415954My issue is if someone just regurgitates a single source rather than combining multiple ones for either a new take or a new thesis. I was very disappointed when I finally picked up the 1171 book about the bronze age collapse and realized the end of empires youtube guy was just reciting from it nearly verbatim. When there is already a lot of literature out there he could be using than just being a regurgitation of the popular contemporary book.I can't say if Gun Jesus does that or not.
>>65427686>I mispelled a word right next to dyslexic
>>65427686>the Russians actually had the right of it with x54 for DMR and GPMG, and - well then they fucked it up bieng dyslexic between 5.45 and 7.62Sort of like how NATO got it right by using x51 for DMRs and GPMGs and not being dyslexic with 5.56?
>>65427686Ian reads a lot of literature on this stuff, he's got a whole playlist of videos on books alone, some which is expensive and not widely available stuff.I hear that the stuff he prints himself though is largely coffee table book tier though.
>>654277307,62x51 was NATO's sole service rifle cartridge for some 30 odd years.
>>65427961Sure? But Western nations started going for 5.56mm long before the East Bloc began going for 5.45mm.The AR15 (and for that matter the Galil, a 5.56mm AK), both predate the AK74 and 5.45mm cartridge by MANY years.
>>654279705.56 did not become a NATO standard round until 1980, the AK-74 entered service before that
>>65427988Doesn't matter, NATO and western nations in general were already getting on the 5.56mm train before it would become actually standardized by NATO.5.45mm is a ballistic copy of 5.56mm, and doesn't see any adoption by anyone AT ALL until 1974, by which point many NATO/western nations have already been fielding 5.56mm rifles for decades.

>>65415954>What have you accomplished?Picture this: You are at a restaurant and served a cold steak. You inform the staff your steak is cold. The chef comes out and tells you if you think you can prepare a meal better than he, then your ass can get in the kitchen and do it. He refuses to improve his cooking abilities. How would you feel in this situation? Would you admit you are the one who is wrong and chef is clearly your better who should not be questioned? Or would you think it reasonable that one does not need to be a chef to criticize a poorly prepared dish?

>>65423485Any truck that doesn't leave pavement doesn't need 4WD. Farmers benefit from 4WD; the guy who does small DIY projects around his house and moves furniture from the store to his home does not need it.
>>65428112Classic midwit defense, but I think midwit would be generous to describe you considering you think knowledge accumulation and research cannot overlap and that all published works need to be new, groundbreaking material.
>>65429498>Any truck that doesn't leave pavement doesn't need 4WDSay you live in a warm climate without saying it.
>>65427961My one gripe with 7.62x51 is that it could have been better if they hadn't had to keep the energy within tolerance for a conscript with a shoulder rifle. If it had been made specifically for GPMGs and precision rifles from the get-go I think M80 ball but have been significantly hotter.
>>65428139>>65429524Failure to answer a hypothetical, just like the Breakfast Question, is indicative of low-IQ, negroid intellectual capacity. >>65429524>"Classic midwit defense">puts words in my mouth and thoughts in my head I don't think any of that. My point, my nubian friend, is that one does not need to be an expert, or be involved in the same field for that matter, to make a simple observational critique. So long as a general understanding is had, criticism is valid. Not necessarily correct, mind you, but valid.
>>65429639Saying someone did something that anyone could do while being successful at it begs the question of why the person critiquing didn't do it himself. This is something that Western Caucasians should be able to understand.Now, let's see that hand and gun please.
>>65429498Lol 99% of my trucks miles are pavement and I regret getting 2wdBut damn do i love the 5.3 and 10L80
>>65429639his criticism isn't valid no matter what your postmodern degree in English tells you about relativity being infallible
>>65429653That's not how criticism works. Critics owe nobody anything. I, personally, think anybody should be able to bench press AT LEAST 85% of their body weight. I can do that. Do you expect me to jump off my couch, drive to gym, and record myself doing it everytime I make this statement? No, it's unrealistic and a fallacy. Just when one reads a movie review, they don't demand the reviewer produce a 90 minute film.
>>65429673Then you make a critique on Ian McCollum's YouTube career since you know so much :^)

>>654295717.62x51mm NATO isn't THAT far from M2 Ball, and it's worked out pretty well as a DMR and MG cartridge. Besides, the M240s last even longer this way.
>>65429683>bench press AT LEAST 85%I think 100% is a reasonable number for any adult male.
>>65429741>soft hands>can bench 85% of his body weightHe'd probably be pretty nice at it, actually.
>>65429813Not him, but I'm too fat for that, and kinda didn't get back to lifting after they took my gallbladder out. I should get less fat.
>>65429683>disgusting wart on finger>doesn't pay a doctor $120 to remove it>doesn't remove it himself using an otc methodhow do normie cattle just tolerate disgusting warts like this on their body? Imagine shaking this fat fuck's hand and you feel finger touch that disgusting wart on his doughie hand. I'd want to vomit.
>>65430709Honey you can focus on the wart all you want, I'm fascinated by those nails that are being chewed down to the fucking cuticle
IMHO 6.8 is a bust.If it wasn't we'd already have conversion kits for the M240's.That we don't yet is extremely tellingWhat should have happened is a 7.62x51 (preferably bullpup, or a light AR10) battle rifle should have been adopted as a substitute standard to the M4, with saboted ammunition (ie in.308 casing sabot reduces to 5.56 traveling stupid fast). We could also have incorporated the reinforced chamber for hot loads and sabotsSlap a dual BDC scope on for sabot or normal 7.62 M80A1 The M250 has serious issues as well that now we have fucked up units using M249's and M240L's alongside M7's.There's also the issue of the rifle being too heavy for specialists. Javelin operators, mortarmen, Carl Gustav gunners, all of them are opting to stick with M4's.So now in effect the platoon has 3 rifle calibers to contend with
>>65430709I dremel the ones I get off. And when I say "ones I get", I mean twice in the last decade
>>65430709>>65430743>paying an actual doctor to remove a single small wart???????????Do y'all negroes not own basic tools?Burning off warts with something like a soldering iron, or a random piece of steel (for example a small bolt) heated red hot, is super easy to do yourself, pretty much free, and the entire procedure is over and done in 5-10 minutes.If you're afraid that it'll hurt, just numb the area with an ice cube for a few minutes beforehand.Going to the doctor to remove a small finger wart is like taking your car to a mechanic and paying them just to replace the wiper blades.
>>65431296Are you some dumb retard that can't read? Possible AIslop post that started responding after it read the first thing it could respond to? Let me help your retarded ass>doesn't pay a doctor $120 to remove itWhat you replied to>doesn't remove it himself using an otc methodWhat you skipped over.Hope this helps, retard kun!
>>65430832>If it wasn't we'd already have conversion kits for the M240's.Why would the Army buy conversion kits for guns that are not made to handle 80k+ chamber pressure?

>>65429800>M2 BallM2 ball is just as mediocre There was an attempt to capitalize on the case capacity 30-06 offered with M1 ball but range safety minimums and bean counters said "nah"
>>65427217They ued to make such good content together, but Karl couldn't help himself and sperg at the boomers on AR.com and the balaclava guy.

>>65433329That and the cartridge soldiers used was M2AP.Fun fact, the US used steel core 7.62x51 until after the Vietnam War.
>>65432490M240 can take it easily.
>>65416183They're all better than the gayar-fifteen though
>>65433390Yeah, before Karl went nuts they had an awesome dynamic
>>65432958Literally wrong, you faggot.
Ian says they should have gone with CBJ who can make a 9mm penetrate the back door of a Russian APC BUT what if they gave it to CBJ AND kept the 80,000psi chamber pressure and 6.8x51mm? That round would go through everything
this faggot made a video years ago on the p320 saying it had no problems then reversed course a year or two ago. He's a paid shill. then when he saw the writing on the wall he changed course. He didn't even admit he was wrong either. He doesn't even know the actual striker design of the p320 either.
Does he still put pieces from his own collection up for sale at an inflated price then do a video on it to make people interested and hook a buyer?>>65435126>it doesn't matter if the p320 ACTUALLY has problems now, it only matters that everybody THINKS it does
>>65434806Okay israel and ital. 2 countries. both the galil and ar70 were adopted in 72 supposedly. Other than that everyone else in europe, the anglosphere, and the americas was using a 7.62mm battle rifle. You cant call 2 countries adopting a rifle 2 years ago "many Nato countries for decades"
>>65436381>not actually fielded at ALL until multiple years after the yom kippur war, first widespread use in 1982 lebanon war>only used by commandos, marines, and state police. Everyone else kept using the bm59 until the 70/90 replaced it until 1990

Then segways into obfuscating his actual bias by saying he owns a mosin with a sig barrel which is a total non sequitur but allows him to internally absolve himself of the fact the sig sends him guns to shoot; see the flux raider videos from around this time. Part 2https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iWVs2uD1XY>I stand by my previous take. OK?? What's the point of this fucking video.>Allow me to redditsplain what's going on because I know all. I really hate this retard. >The drop safety is a non issue cause they fixed it.Did sig recall every P320 to install the fix?

Part 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjEhgXAALL8>turns out I'm a fucking retard, erm but actually you can't PROOVE the 320 can fire uncommanded. Let me cherrypick cases that have been completely adjudicated while tens of more cases are still in proceedings. Rest of the video is boring banal take already made by plenty of people adding nothing to the conversation. Ian is a certified mid wit and he's not only not impartial enough to weigh in on this topic but he's also not mentally equipped for it.
>>65437236I think in some old Q&A he said he did not expect his tv experience to be that ridiculous and seemed kind of embarrassed of having been on
>>65440959>At no point does he state the 320 doesn't have problems>States that they actually do have problems>"erm but actually you can't PROOVE the 320 can fire uncommanded. ">Title of his own video literally says that they doAnon, are you brown? Perhaps tone down the teenager-grade hyperbole and bad-faith argument and form a coherent platform to make your case instead of sounding like an unhinged faggot.
>>65440959kiddo I think you're fucking retarded if you see either of those vids as evidence of him absolving SIG, the first one from over three years ago literally has him saying they would go off when dropped at a specific angle and that this particular issue was fixed (it was). then all the other shit came along and he updated his views. the whole point wasn't that SIG dindunuffin, it was that he was wanting to have sufficient evidence of what was going on and not get mislead by internet bullshit. fuck dude this is basic shit. you didn't prove he said the P320 had no problems, you just showed he wasn't willing to go balls deep into conjecture and your monkey brain thought that mean he was saying everything was a hoax and it was all fine and dandy.dipshit.
>>65411997As an asset of the CIA's social media narrative shaping program, and a loyal ZOG golem, Ian's opinions are not merely the ramblings of a crypto-Reddit-mod, but in fact official positions held by factions of the glownigger community within the power structure of the USA.His factual videos are interesting, and for the most part, he hides his obnoxious Mandatory Kid Tranny Surgery political opinions well, so I'm not surprised that he's popular. This hubbub around the M7 is bascially just CIA niggers kwetching at eachother that the ugly new death-stick isn't trannifying kids fast enough, and can't be inserted deep enough ractally.I've been wondering about the actual tactical implications of the M7 though. You don't get better marksmen but you get a rather compact hyper-overpowered rifle. Why? Why is the rifle designed to be kept small and compact at significant engineering costs, and why endanger manufacturing and supply chain reliability just for an overpwered multi-metal cartridge?Put simply, why have the power of a DMR, in an SMG size-profile, in a design that implies urban warfare? What are you meant to be shooting at? Militaries seem to have been drifting towards extreme glownigger shit in their upcoming small-arms programs, implying that conventional battle-tactics are being phased out, in preparation for urban drone/robot warrfare.
>>65441311the power of a DMR in an SMG-sized gun implies that next wars will be shooting at armed Terminator robots!!
>>65441311Tremendously schizophrenic post, well done.
>>65441246He literally says in the first video that all the uncomanded discharges are from mishandling. He's fine jumping to conclusions at that point in time when the conclusions benifits sig. No point discussing this with you further.
>Ian didn't completely crash out and throw away his career to say that whites are being genocided in SA so that means i hate him forever
>>65441938Rather than not weigh in at all he said it's NOT happening. But go off. The next step in the cycle is he will say it's happening and that's a good thing.
>>65441938>Why are you upset that someone denied objective reality out of some delusional view of the world where niggers can do no wrong???BECAUSE I LIKE PEOPLE WHO TELL THE TRUTH!
>>65428136...how many years do you believe a "decade" denotes exactly?
>Person has changed his mind at any point>HE mUST bE a PAID $hill!!!!Isn't that just called learning? Aren't you allowed to change your opinion?
>>65441988>Isn't that just called learning? Aren't you allowed to change your opinion?You're usually supposed to at least reflect that you were wrong in the past, why you were wrong, and why your current belief is correct.
>>65441988he didn't even acknowledge he was wrong though, he just makes a new video claiming he's the smartest person in the room without even explaining or diagramming anything. it's low effort engagement slop. Show me a fucking diagram of the p320 striker interface and admit you were wrong. Many of us don't even have a background in engineering and can tell you exactly the issue of having a single Made-in-India fully cocked striker interface with no trigger dingus and how that's a problem....
>>65441932> says in the first video that all the uncomanded discharges are from mishandlingNope, he directly acknowledges they sould shoot from being dropped.>le sig shillDunno how you poltard tourists still try to push this after what he's said about the M7.Begone.
>>65437236His dad was a TV personality too.
>>65442375>on tv once everBeing a talking head on an episode of Tales of the Gun from like 2001 doesn't make him a "tv personality"
>>65441986Ten. "Decades" means more than one decade, i.e. minimum of two. 1957 to 1974 is 17 years, fewer than 20 years or fewer than two decades.It is chronologically impossible for western countries to have been fielding 5.56 for "decades" before 1974.
>>65411997The quickest way to realize how ass a rifle is to carry all day is to hold it out in front of you. There is no need to switch from the m4, the weight to capabilities is perfect.
>>65411997>he would know that 300+ meters is normal in open groundThere's currently a war that's been going on over open fields for a good bit now. Why hasn't anyone there started using battle rifles en masse if the idea of the sigtacular is so spectacular?
