It's baffling the number of people who either still want a 7.62x39 ar, or are callong .300 blk the hottest shit comparong it to the weirdest cartridges, all because they don't know that .300 blk is basically 7.62x39 with a little smaller case.
Subsonic 7.62x39 is superior to both. At least you can take your suppressor off, use regular ammo and have a decent performing intermediate. With 9x39 and .300blk you don't have that option, the bullet is so heavy with such little powder behind it they arc like frick.
BF is a genuine midwit. All of his opinions take several minutes for him to explain because he jumps though so many mental hoops to reach his conclusions. Half of his working intelligence is comprised of Adderall. You'd do well to take note when he says he's just some guy in his twenties with no LEO or mil training.

LOL. Miles is alive. I don't know if he's well, but he's alive.
I think I told the story about the time he woke me up at 2am in Vegas after calling the cops because his car got stolen during SHOT show but it turned out that Miles was just looking on the wrong floor of the garage. He's a really nice guy but he's out there. The Kabul thing really got him on edge. He was never fired from TFBTV and is well liked at TFB but his work quality was dogshit and I told him as much. The content was always so good, but his editing and filming were not acceptable. Camera out of focus or the shutter speed way off, audio bad, lighting bad, some combo of the above. He's been doing more and more work with the Free Burma Rangers. I got 5.11 to send them some gear that they needed last year. I hope he's doing well.
Alex left because he got burnt out, but I think it was probably the constant cyberbullying. The old editor told me to tell everyone he wanted to race cars instead or something, I don't know what a man can't say he's tired of putting up with the bullshit. His dad owns a successful van rental company in TX so he's doing alright.
Unfortunately I don't get paid by manufacturers to review their products. I get a salary from TFB to make x videos a month and that's it. I determine what content I make, and I only make videos about stuff that interests me. Of course 5.11 foots the bill for a lot of travel (IWA, SHOT), and I get final say on those bumper ads that run before our videos (I think we've had Silencer Shop, BFG, 5.11, Mossberg, and Glock - all companies I trust although you have to separate the bad from the good products with 5.11). But you should be skeptical because AFAIK pretty much every YouTuber out there is getting juice per video.
>Unfortunately I don't get paid by manufacturers to review their products.
They send you the products and ammo for free though, right? Still dishonest imo.
No, also not true but I appreciate how hard you are working on this. Ventura Munitions pays zero dollars for their ads, they send me all of the ammo. I have received free guns in the past although that's (a) not discussed up front and (b) probably less than 15% of the time. Kel Tec is making me send back the P15 if you can believe that.
Sure, even if I don't know that they are going to give me the gun, if I give it a good review, that will increase the chances of that happening, but I don't like shit guns so I'd prefer to not lie to you just to get a few hundred dollars of value and risk my reputation, not just with the audience, but with the manufacturers who would know I'm softballing reviews for guns.

I think there is something to this. Nearly all influencers have a talent agency they work with. Mr. Beast works under night.co. mn2s.com is huge and deals with established and up-and-coming artists, actors, politicians, celebrities, sports personalities and record labels.
I haven't talked to him in a while. He had kind of a weird love-hate thing with me which makes sense because I used to bully kids like him in high school.
Kidding. That's probably what he thought so he never really warmed up to me. Kind of abrasive but a super talented kid. I'd love to hear from him someday.
I stumbled upon his substack a couple weeks ago. It seems like he made it last year and is reposting his TFB articles there. So that’s an online presence, and maybe he plans on adding to it with new content.
Also more importantly than my delusions of a .45 PX4 RDO, get Ernest to review holosun optics. I’ve noticed in a lot of his material he has holosuns on his guns, even on his signature PX4 it’ll come with a 508T
https://langdontactical.com/ernest-langdons-px4-black/
I want round counts and failures, if his guns have gone past 50k on the same optic isn’t that a glowing review of both the gun and optic?
I asked him! But he never responded directly. I just want you to know I did ask for you, anon. In this text thread we are talking about how well the PX4 video did and the upcoming push-pull video with Symtac, to add some context.

You saw the trigger group pop out, you can just buy any PX4, used even, and pop the LTT kit in. I’ve done multiple LTT TJIABs, trigger bar installs, and honestly most of the magic is in the trigger bar. Paying more for the full kit and even the extra NP3 coating is just for extra smoothness. 80-90% of it is in the trigger bar and lighter hammer spring. The match hammer you can’t replace though, I might recommend getting the full kit if you want the match hammer because if it’s not fitted then it’ll pretension the firing pin block when wienered. Not a big deal, just don’t carry the gun ever with the hammer wienered back - you should already be doing that on a gun with a 2 and half pound trigger.
VerticalScope. They own a bunch of outdoor blogs and forums. Glock talk too (I think). Start a gun blog, get popular, they’ll buy it from you and pay you to run it. They just post ads and probably get paid per impression and click through. I suppose like google.

Which one has he won?
Fool's errand and/or posturing for street cred on the internet. Here's an excerpt I've written to potential clients who want to challenge the NFA in the gun-friendliest circuit in the Federal System: >I’ve attached United States v. Simien, SA-22-CR-00379-JKP, 2023 WL 1980487, (W.D. Tex. Feb. 10, 2023) for your review. The gist is that Simien was arrested with a machinegun and was criminally charged. He argued that under Bruen, owning a machinegun was not illegal. The Western District of Texas disagreed. I quote the entire paragraph at the end of the opinion because it’s really the pith of the lengthy ruling and sums up exactly where I see this going (emphasis added):
The Court now moves to Simien's facial challenge, for which he must show § 922(o) “is unconstitutional in all of its applications.” Wash. State Grange, 552 U.S. at 449, 128 S.Ct. 1184 (2008).

Assuming the conduct of possessing a machinegun is protected by the plain text of the Second Amendment, the weapon itself is not protected, based on U.S. Supreme Court and Fifth Circuit precedent. Heller recognized a “historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons.” 554 U.S. at 627, 128 S.Ct. 2783. This longstanding tradition grew from English common law, under which “the offense of riding or going armed, with dangerous or unusual weapons, [was] a crime.” 4 W. Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England 148–49 (1769). Simien does not dispute that “dangerous and unusual weapons” are not afforded Second Amendment protection; however, he argues machineguns are not dangerous and unusual. This argument is foreclosed by binding Fifth Circuit and Supreme Court authority.
In United States v. Miller, the Supreme Court rejected a Second Amendment challenge to the indictment of two men for transporting an unregistered short-barreled shotgun in interstate commerce, in violation of the National Firearms Act. 307 U.S. 174, 178, 59 S.Ct. 816, 83 L.Ed. 1206 (1939). In Heller, the Supreme Court explained that Miller stands for the proposition “that the Second Amendment does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizen for lawful purposes, such as short-barreled shotguns.” 554 U.S. at 625, 128 S.Ct. 2783. Heller explicitly rejected a proposed reading of Miller that would render the National Firearms Act's restrictions on machineguns as unconstitutional. Id. at 624, 128 S.Ct. 2783.
The Fifth Circuit in Hollis held machineguns “do not receive Second Amendment protection” because they “are dangerous and unusual and therefore not in common use.” Hollis v. Lynch, 827 F.3d 436, 451 (5th Cir. 2016).

>Today, machineguns remain dangerous and unusual. Machineguns, which have been likened to pipe bombs and hand-grenades, are within the category of weapons of “quasi-suspect character” that are inherently dangerous. Id. at 448 (quoting Staples v. United States, 511 U.S. 600, 611–12, 114 S.Ct. 1793, 128 L.Ed.2d 608 (1994)). They are also unusual. In Hollis, the Court held that the number of civilian-owned machineguns, about 176,000, fell far short of the amount necessary to be considered in common use. Id. at 449–50. Circumstances have not meaningfully changed since then. Although the number of civilian-owned machineguns has increased to about 740,000, this amount—which is less than .2% of total firearms in the United States—remains too insignificant for machineguns to be considered in common use. See ECF No. 31 (Government's Response Brief) at 8–9.
Based on this evidence, the Court finds machineguns are within the category of “dangerous and unusual” weapons that do not receive Second Amendment protection and Simien's facial challenge to § 922(o), therefore, fails.
>I still think there is a valid counterargument to be made, and the Western District’s opinion is not binding, but it’s well-reasoned and well-written from a jurisdiction that is normally very gun friendly. Simien has 60 days to appeal (until about mid-April) so it would be prudent to see this one play out in the 5th Circuit before lodging your own challenge. In other words, I still believe this challenge would not prevail, but if Simien appeals, he’ll do the heavy lifting for us and we’ll see where the 5th falls on the issue.

>not in common use
This logic is odd. Anything not currently extant is not in common use, so are all new categories of guns automatically unprotected the moment they’re made, without getting a chance to be in common use? What about niche or prohibitively expensive weapon types, like 50BMG rifles. Are those in common use and if not, does the 2A not protect them?

That would be the counter argument I vaguely refer to in the closing sentence. We haven’t been able to own them for the past 40 years because of the very bill we are seeking to overturn. This, so long as something is banned quickly enough, it will never become in common use.

It's OK. Better for the clients because USLS is cheap and they cover everything. They pay well but I'm representing a guy right now who shot a 9 year old kid in the face with a paintball gun - it's a little overinclusive in terms of what is covered. So, again, good for the clients, not as much for me because I get paid the same regardless of my caseload. If I were getting a policy, I'd get USLS (mainly because they will also cover you if you're drunk and/or protecting property even though deadly force in defense of non-occupied property or movables is not permitted in LA).

Move out of the basement and get a job. Thank god Kevin prices things out of the reach of the lower class. A Rolex doesn't do anything a timex can't do but that's not why you buy them. Gates are meant to be kept.
Everyone says Kevin beats his wife but no one says she didn't deserve it. Pretty chad move imo
His wife stabbed him with a screwdriver and punctured his lung. She was insane. That's according to Kevin himself, but when a man gets full custody of the kids and can move them out of state, you know the wife is fricking nuts because in family law courts, ties seem to go to the mother and one parent getting full custody AND getting to move out of state is rare. So there must be some truth to his side of the story.
Not true. He kept his job at TFB and he got fired by Knight's right away after he posted a TFB article showing that the KAC can didn't do well in IAR trials. KAC fricking sucks and Trey Knight or Troy Knight or whatever is out of his god damn mind.

>its slavshit so it's superior!
Its a shit cartridge, for a shit weapon system, for a niche shit purpose. .300 Blackout is fine. If you want to be a special snowflake get .338 Spectre or 8.6 Blackout.
The twist rate combined with the fracturing projectiles are so damn clever for subsonic cartridges. If this thing had a side charging handle instead of ye olde plunger and also a quad stack magazine well it would be perfection.
It's pleasant to shoot and the neighbors can't hear it so we can shoot at 2am without worrying about the mbutthole and flatlander transplants calling the cops on us. Even in the sticks, you can't get away from suburbanites nowadays.

Because that's what it is. The closest thing to 9x39 commercially is .350 legend which is also a much better non meme cartridge.
It's always the same video people post. The one with no data and a clear bias.
.300 blackout is not comparable to the 9x39 with that tiny bullet it has. It is just a 7.62x39 without the tapered case.
It's baffling the number of people who either still want a 7.62x39 ar, or are callong .300 blk the hottest shit comparong it to the weirdest cartridges, all because they don't know that .300 blk is basically 7.62x39 with a little smaller case.
please stop thinking about black men having sex you fricking weirdo
as a white a white man you can inject melanotan into your dick to make it black
does the size increase?
yes infection will cause swelling
.350 legend is what 9x39 wishes it was
.350 legend is an actual real caliber with real purposes (hunting regulations require straight wall cartridges in some jurisdictions).
.300 blackout is pretty much .300 whisper
Difference is one is CIP and the other is SAAMI
.300 Whisper came out now too long after 9x39mm
9x39mm came out mid 1980s
.300 whisper came out early 1990s
Subsonic 7.62x39 is superior to both. At least you can take your suppressor off, use regular ammo and have a decent performing intermediate. With 9x39 and .300blk you don't have that option, the bullet is so heavy with such little powder behind it they arc like frick.

>one off paid product reviews
oof, didn't think they would be that forward
Have you seen the content their shills shit out?
I won't name them by name because I consider them both to be friends, but I know at least two of the Leviathan guys have, in the past (and maybe still do, I dunno), charged $10k to do a video with a gun.

If this Leviathan group exist as a kind of gatekeeping group for guntubers so none of them step out of line, like controlled opposition.
I think there is something to this. Nearly all influencers have a talent agency they work with. Mr. Beast works under night.co. mn2s.com is huge and deals with established and up-and-coming artists, actors, politicians, celebrities, sports personalities and record labels.
Honest Outlaw is kind of a dumb hick in some vids but he seems pretty honest.
LOL. Agreed to all. And he is a soulless ginger.

Love the shorts my man
just trying hard and being disingenuous wyd
frick is wrong with bros nails god damn
hey you know what nate f is up to? he disappeared off the internet a while back as far as i can tell.
I haven't talked to him in a while. He had kind of a weird love-hate thing with me which makes sense because I used to bully kids like him in high school.
Kidding. That's probably what he thought so he never really warmed up to me. Kind of abrasive but a super talented kid. I'd love to hear from him someday.
I stumbled upon his substack a couple weeks ago. It seems like he made it last year and is reposting his TFB articles there. So that’s an online presence, and maybe he plans on adding to it with new content.

What did Ernest say about the .45 RDO cut?
Also more importantly than my delusions of a .45 PX4 RDO, get Ernest to review holosun optics. I’ve noticed in a lot of his material he has holosuns on his guns, even on his signature PX4 it’ll come with a 508T
https://langdontactical.com/ernest-langdons-px4-black/
I want round counts and failures, if his guns have gone past 50k on the same optic isn’t that a glowing review of both the gun and optic?
I asked him! But he never responded directly. I just want you to know I did ask for you, anon. In this text thread we are talking about how well the PX4 video did and the upcoming push-pull video with Symtac, to add some context.
I didn’t need verification you asked, I trusted you to do it for me
aw. thanks anon
Uhh, is it true your nuts have popped out of your shorts in TFB bloopers
No but one time I accidentally showed my penis to 4000 people in the only live stream Ive ever done on TFB when I was drunk in Austria at the Admiral Casino by the fairgrounds in Vienna. The black bathroom tiles behind the urinals are like mirrors. Thank GOD YouTube deleted the video before I woke up the next morning but I know someone out there has a screen of it.
Saving this in case anyone wants to argue if James is a true /k/ommando or not.
Side note the LTT PX4 is a gun I wanted to get for free. I don't know how much more I can blow that fricking gun but they won't give me one. I'll just have to buy it.
You saw the trigger group pop out, you can just buy any PX4, used even, and pop the LTT kit in. I’ve done multiple LTT TJIABs, trigger bar installs, and honestly most of the magic is in the trigger bar. Paying more for the full kit and even the extra NP3 coating is just for extra smoothness. 80-90% of it is in the trigger bar and lighter hammer spring. The match hammer you can’t replace though, I might recommend getting the full kit if you want the match hammer because if it’s not fitted then it’ll pretension the firing pin block when wienered. Not a big deal, just don’t carry the gun ever with the hammer wienered back - you should already be doing that on a gun with a 2 and half pound trigger.
>I get a salary from TFB
who owns TFB?
VerticalScope. They own a bunch of outdoor blogs and forums. Glock talk too (I think). Start a gun blog, get popular, they’ll buy it from you and pay you to run it. They just post ads and probably get paid per impression and click through. I suppose like google.
James,
I’ve been in the digital marketing business for 10 years. You guys need any help over there? Grew up hunting/shooting and would love to work in the industry.
I'm sorry you have to be a freemason, satan worshipper or an attorney.
That's just three words to describe the same thing
Four, actually
Take it from someone who does both: Do not trust lawyers or YouTubers. Two biggest scumbag professions outside of TikTok influencer or PrepHole janitor
The most egregious one is the asshat Fuddbusters.
The following transcript is any legal explanation from him.
>YOU DON"T KNOW THE MINUTIA OF A LAW THAT CHANGED 3 YEARS AGO AND NEVER MADE THE NEWS CYCLE YOU'RE FRICKING moronic
Okay, can you explain the law and the change?
>NO YOU"RE SO FRICKING DUMB
So, XYZ isn't actually illegal?
>NO WHAT ARE YOU FRICKING DUMB?
Where in the statutes is that change, what is the case law. Explain this common misconception?
>TRUST ME BRO YOU RETARTDED BECAUSE ITS LEGAL
So you'd advise your clients that it's fine to do XYZ
>NO I WOULD NEVER ADVISE A CLIENT TO DO XYZ ARE YOU FRICKING DUMB?
But you just said it's legal?
>JUST BECAUSE ITS LEGAL DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD DO IT AND YOU ARE A homosexual FOR NOT DOING IT
Which lawsuit challenging the NFA did you write?
Which one has he won?
Fool's errand and/or posturing for street cred on the internet. Here's an excerpt I've written to potential clients who want to challenge the NFA in the gun-friendliest circuit in the Federal System:
>I’ve attached United States v. Simien, SA-22-CR-00379-JKP, 2023 WL 1980487, (W.D. Tex. Feb. 10, 2023) for your review. The gist is that Simien was arrested with a machinegun and was criminally charged. He argued that under Bruen, owning a machinegun was not illegal. The Western District of Texas disagreed. I quote the entire paragraph at the end of the opinion because it’s really the pith of the lengthy ruling and sums up exactly where I see this going (emphasis added):
The Court now moves to Simien's facial challenge, for which he must show § 922(o) “is unconstitutional in all of its applications.” Wash. State Grange, 552 U.S. at 449, 128 S.Ct. 1184 (2008).
Assuming the conduct of possessing a machinegun is protected by the plain text of the Second Amendment, the weapon itself is not protected, based on U.S. Supreme Court and Fifth Circuit precedent. Heller recognized a “historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons.” 554 U.S. at 627, 128 S.Ct. 2783. This longstanding tradition grew from English common law, under which “the offense of riding or going armed, with dangerous or unusual weapons, [was] a crime.” 4 W. Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England 148–49 (1769). Simien does not dispute that “dangerous and unusual weapons” are not afforded Second Amendment protection; however, he argues machineguns are not dangerous and unusual. This argument is foreclosed by binding Fifth Circuit and Supreme Court authority.
In United States v. Miller, the Supreme Court rejected a Second Amendment challenge to the indictment of two men for transporting an unregistered short-barreled shotgun in interstate commerce, in violation of the National Firearms Act. 307 U.S. 174, 178, 59 S.Ct. 816, 83 L.Ed. 1206 (1939). In Heller, the Supreme Court explained that Miller stands for the proposition “that the Second Amendment does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizen for lawful purposes, such as short-barreled shotguns.” 554 U.S. at 625, 128 S.Ct. 2783. Heller explicitly rejected a proposed reading of Miller that would render the National Firearms Act's restrictions on machineguns as unconstitutional. Id. at 624, 128 S.Ct. 2783.
The Fifth Circuit in Hollis held machineguns “do not receive Second Amendment protection” because they “are dangerous and unusual and therefore not in common use.” Hollis v. Lynch, 827 F.3d 436, 451 (5th Cir. 2016).
>Today, machineguns remain dangerous and unusual. Machineguns, which have been likened to pipe bombs and hand-grenades, are within the category of weapons of “quasi-suspect character” that are inherently dangerous. Id. at 448 (quoting Staples v. United States, 511 U.S. 600, 611–12, 114 S.Ct. 1793, 128 L.Ed.2d 608 (1994)). They are also unusual. In Hollis, the Court held that the number of civilian-owned machineguns, about 176,000, fell far short of the amount necessary to be considered in common use. Id. at 449–50. Circumstances have not meaningfully changed since then. Although the number of civilian-owned machineguns has increased to about 740,000, this amount—which is less than .2% of total firearms in the United States—remains too insignificant for machineguns to be considered in common use. See ECF No. 31 (Government's Response Brief) at 8–9.
Based on this evidence, the Court finds machineguns are within the category of “dangerous and unusual” weapons that do not receive Second Amendment protection and Simien's facial challenge to § 922(o), therefore, fails.
>I still think there is a valid counterargument to be made, and the Western District’s opinion is not binding, but it’s well-reasoned and well-written from a jurisdiction that is normally very gun friendly. Simien has 60 days to appeal (until about mid-April) so it would be prudent to see this one play out in the 5th Circuit before lodging your own challenge. In other words, I still believe this challenge would not prevail, but if Simien appeals, he’ll do the heavy lifting for us and we’ll see where the 5th falls on the issue.
>not in common use
This logic is odd. Anything not currently extant is not in common use, so are all new categories of guns automatically unprotected the moment they’re made, without getting a chance to be in common use? What about niche or prohibitively expensive weapon types, like 50BMG rifles. Are those in common use and if not, does the 2A not protect them?
That would be the counter argument I vaguely refer to in the closing sentence. We haven’t been able to own them for the past 40 years because of the very bill we are seeking to overturn. This, so long as something is banned quickly enough, it will never become in common use.
We can only hope all the Glock switches on the streets will make MGs common use
Even crazier when you consider that every military service rifle or carbine since 1958 has been select fire aka a “machine gun.” The Hughes amendment is an absolute joke.
>potential clients
Wwhhhhooooaaaaaaa!

That's not the flex you think it is, Matt. Any tard can file a lawsuit. SovCits do it all the time.
>t. Busted Fudd.
I'm bad at YouTube and I'm not a good marketer. My overlords who I rarely talk to handle all of the fiscal aspects and I'm sure I'm getting fricked by not doing it myself, but I don't care to. It's a great arrangement for me because they are happy with whatever I'm doing and I feel like I'm not doing much other than screwing around with guns I like, plus I can practice law half time. Feel free to email me ([email protected]) if you want me to try to plug you in with the marketing/ad guys though. I've gotten a lot of people jobs at TFB (Hop being a great example - I'm unironically very proud of him) through Discord and /k/ so it wouldn't be the first time, but no promises.
Hey James, how do you like being a USLS attorney? Worth joining?
It's OK. Better for the clients because USLS is cheap and they cover everything. They pay well but I'm representing a guy right now who shot a 9 year old kid in the face with a paintball gun - it's a little overinclusive in terms of what is covered. So, again, good for the clients, not as much for me because I get paid the same regardless of my caseload. If I were getting a policy, I'd get USLS (mainly because they will also cover you if you're drunk and/or protecting property even though deadly force in defense of non-occupied property or movables is not permitted in LA).
>a guy right now who shot a 9 year old kid in the face with a paintball gun
Well that's just rude
Sounds good. I’ll add my current employment to the resume, touch it up and send it over. Appreciate you taking a look or sending it to someone who will.
Fricking bring back Silah Report

Decrying someone for not having the time to make android phones work is a compliment.
Are iPhags actually so moronic they are incapable of using a phone.
Jesus chirst do you even know how to log on to a PC.
Rich coming from a moron who punctuates their questions with periods; do you even know basic grammar?
I do not, I grammared very extraordinarily in schoolings?
I'll take your word for it!
All mobiles are just spying devices for the chattle. Why do you even care?
Ha. I had every Pixel from the original to the 6 and it seems like, other than the camera, the Pixel fell further and further behind with each iteration. I’m on babbys first iPhone and I don’t think I’m going back
>memeround finally reached what memeround did decades ago
wow a lot of work to make snowflake 8mm kurz that no one but instagram operators will use well done
What exactly defines a "memeround"? Highly specialized usage but hyped as a miracle do-it-all solution?
essentially. it exists purely because it's a hypothetical perfect solution to a super esoteric or niche application and thus will never actually be adopted, or be even moderately affordable.
It's hypebeast bullshit that doesn't add anything to the space that .458 socom or .450BM could do.
>Kevin makes the poors mad again.
Move out of the basement and get a job. Thank god Kevin prices things out of the reach of the lower class. A Rolex doesn't do anything a timex can't do but that's not why you buy them. Gates are meant to be kept.
Kevins a fat wife beating midwit but he does have good marketing to attract other midwits like (You)
Post a w2 with six figures+ and a gun hotshot - do it right or sit the frick down amirite?
Everyone says Kevin beats his wife but no one says she didn't deserve it. Pretty chad move imo
His wife stabbed him with a screwdriver and punctured his lung. She was insane. That's according to Kevin himself, but when a man gets full custody of the kids and can move them out of state, you know the wife is fricking nuts because in family law courts, ties seem to go to the mother and one parent getting full custody AND getting to move out of state is rare. So there must be some truth to his side of the story.
TFB hasn't been the same since Nathaniel F. left to go work at KAC.
Not true. He kept his job at TFB and he got fired by Knight's right away after he posted a TFB article showing that the KAC can didn't do well in IAR trials. KAC fricking sucks and Trey Knight or Troy Knight or whatever is out of his god damn mind.
I thought OP was talking about 8.6mm Blackout? Also it was probably never really needed by the military.
Guntoober homosexual shills always derail threads.
Hey James, you’re a cool guy and I genuinely feel funny in a gay way when I watch your videos. Had to stop watching because I’m trying to settle down and have kids so I can’t go out to bars and hook up with men anymore.
>its slavshit so it's superior!
Its a shit cartridge, for a shit weapon system, for a niche shit purpose. .300 Blackout is fine. If you want to be a special snowflake get .338 Spectre or 8.6 Blackout.
The twist rate combined with the fracturing projectiles are so damn clever for subsonic cartridges. If this thing had a side charging handle instead of ye olde plunger and also a quad stack magazine well it would be perfection.
Tell Nick C his stuff is mad weird and he needs to make videos of it instead of just articles. Night filming be damned get the boy a Sony a7iv
9x39 was obsolete decades ago, your VSS meme guns are trash, sorry.
.
idk mang they get spooked by teh future
good thing is now almost every branch of the military is seeking its own unique calibre
Owning anything in 300 blackout is the ultimate sign of being a suburban larper. Only niche use case is suppressed hunting at close range.
It's pleasant to shoot and the neighbors can't hear it so we can shoot at 2am without worrying about the mbutthole and flatlander transplants calling the cops on us. Even in the sticks, you can't get away from suburbanites nowadays.
I may be a jerseyite but I swear to christ I will never pull such a suburbanite move on a fellow rifleman.
