I dealt with shithead after shithead today at work and it kind of got me down...this exchange brought a really sincere smile to my face and I appreciate it. Thank you all for just being...human.
If that doesn’t work, or you are using a red dot on a hand gun, do some research on a Merit Optical Attachment. It’s about $60 and can attach to your prescription glasses or regular safety glasses.
I can’t speak to the practicality of it, but it's something I will also look into as my eyesight gets worse with age.
I've seen others state that he cleared a jam. Could you provide a link or describe at what instance it occurred? I've seen the available video clips and I can't spot it.
/edit Was it between turning skater bois heart into hamburger and ablating "MEDIC"s lower bicep?
He's not like Kyle: this guy came into this thread with guns loaded and started firing. Our patron saint of street warfare Kyle would never be this loose of a cannon.
Police and Sheriff departments reflect the communities they serve. Which means blue areas tend to have some lousy police departments.
For example, the state of Oregon could pass a completely unconstitutional ban on firearms, and while the Portland PD might go along with it, most of the County Sheriffs in the state will refuse to enforce it.
Painting all police organizations with the same broad brush is really showing ignorance of why some police departments are so lousy. Most good cops don't want to work for a cucked city council and police chief, constantly tying their hands from executing the law, having to serve leftist DAs who use indictments as a political tool, not a tool of justice, and a community that hates them just because they are cops.
So, while there are still plenty of good cops in places like Portland or San Fransisco, there's enough douchebags to poison the punch, simply because the hiring pool is bad.
Cops do very little good. Ive seen them with my own eyes. Small towns are about as good as you will get, anything larger (even suburbs) and it falls apart.
Yeah I know. Try reporting a theft and see how useful they are. They’re worthless until you have to shoot a scumbag breaking into your house and then all of the sudden they want to do their jobs and put you behind bars for a self defense situation. It’s a joke really.
Yea to hell with that! that kid pulled off shots that almost none of us could pull off in that same situation.... Not to mention clearing a fucking malfunction a fraction of a second before being executed!
Don't save money on your mags pedes. A cheap or old spring could mean your death if it is too slow.
Don't store them loaded long term or the elasticity will wear down over time. There is a myth surrounding this that it won't because of one property that is commonly quoted, the elastic limit. What causes your springs to wear down is accelerated corrosion caused by the tension, and also deformation from creep.
Finally, never shoot limp-wristed. The loading mechanism depends on you to hold the weapon firm while it blows back. If the whole weapon blows back with the upper receiver, the receiver will not spring forward with enough momentum to properly load and will jam every time.
He had a magpul P mag. The FTF likely happened because of the jostling of the mag during the scrum. ARs aren't really ment to be slammed on the ground during fire.
The spring loosing its spring rate over time is a myth. US GI mags are stored fully loaded for years without issue.
Hickcock has a video about this. The guy has 50+ years of professional shooting under his belt.
You can store them loaded for years and it doesn't harm the spring. Repeated use is what wears the spring out. There are magazines that people find loaded from WW2 and they function fine unless they are rusted out.
I have to go back and look. There was a video on a YouTube user called donut operators Channel and he actually fold up and show you where he clears it but it was too far away and too dark for me to see what he's really doing
That's two cases where people thought he cleared.
Adding that to everything else he did it's inhuman
At some point I need to go back and see what the elapsed time was I from the time he tripped to the time he disarmed his armed attacker. So many right things in so littke time.
DonutOperator. Hes an ex cop who does a lot of police shooting breakdowns.
Its in 2 parts. Was a while back so I dont remember which is the best but both are good. He pulls stills and freeze frames with circles and arrows. First one I saw catch the pre Kyle gunshots.
Yeah, it’s easy at the range, but I’m training to figure it out under pressure (in my head). Always have an extra fresh mag ready on you, in case you need to just drop the mag and clear the chamber manually, and hopefully get going again immediately.
Haha, you're right. I would've honestly probably turned to the glock at that point for close range, which is way less accurate and turns it into a more indiscriminate situation and makes one more vulnerable to attack from all angles. If I was a militia leader I would want him right by my side.
Muscle memory is fascinating to witness yourself doing in real time. Avout a year and a half ago i decided to buckle down and learn some fundamentals for guitar. I learned the blues pentonic scale like the back of my hand. Had a gifted spanish acoustic so i could really only go from the first octive of E to the 4th octive and back again. I did this for atleast 20mins a day for a year and a half due to boredom. Now i play and i noodle (which is just sort of freely rocking out on your scale pattern) and i catch myself watching myself play and while I'm playing asking myself "how the heck am i doing this".
In an escalated state of mind your training pays off. Muscle memory sets in and you just "know what to do" without even thinking about what you are doing. It's a very awesome part of being human and I'm sure some trauma medic, rescue, or vet pedes could weigh in to some miraculous situations they've been in.
I would argue that. I played around a lot this weekend with my new sling. I hate single point. Hit me in the junk every fucking time I tried to get to my sidearm. With it setup in a 2 point, I can move the rifle to fire with no issues and move it to the side with no issues.
Regardless of what works for you, get a real sling that will hold when someone is trying to take your weapon away. I picked up 2 cheap ones from Amazon for a plastic stock 10/22 AR style build and I don't even trust them for that!
I have a magpul that does single and double, QD or clip, depending on rifle configuration. When selecting, pay close attention to the ends and how they will work for you.
The joke is 99% of grown men with $5000 Gucci guns tactical costumes would’ve been killed where a teenager in a tshirt and budget rifle killed 2 commies and wounded another and walked away
I made my first handgun purchase, what do I do for a rifle or shotgun! I want a semi automatic shotgun because they're awesome, but realistically an AR is my best bet. Need pede guidance!
If you want an AR right now, build your own. You can order all the parts, stripped lower, 18-inch upper, only need to have the lower sent through an FFL, then put it all together in your own home. Much cheaper too.
Sounds like you know then. The rest us up to you and how much you are willing to spend. AR-15 builds are good because parts are interchangeable between manufacturers. Lots of Youtube videos to point you in the right direction for assembly as well. Be warned if you're starting out, there's a number of gun smithing tools you'll want to acquire, from magpul wrenches to long hex wrenches.
What are you going to use the rifle for? I've got both, and if it's just for hunting, I'd probably keep the '06, just because the AR10 is probably going to be a lot heavier depending on what you use in the build. Depends on the type of hunting you're doing: if you're just sitting in a treestand back east somewhere then it's fine, but if you're out west hiking all over the mountains looking for elk then you might not want to carry it around. I love mine though and I do take it hunting sometimes, so as long as you're willing to carry that beast then have at it!
Hunting and shit hits the fan. Only like 8 days a season am I really going through some backwoods north Idaho shit (elk season) rest of the time it’s road hunting from a SxS or sitting on a deck drinking coffee waiting for a doe to come off the hill to destroy my friends garden. I got my girl a .308 savage so if I need to use something lighter I have it access to it. But I also have a weight limit on what rifle I can hunt with in Idaho including optic so the Barrett .50 with the Nightforce is not an option.
All of that sounds like a...blast (I'm sorry haha). My AR-10 has a 22" heavy barrel on it and it's super accurate, but it weighs almost 13 lbs loaded. You could probably get one down to 7 or 8 pounds if you were careful about what you put on it. Would be a good time on garden guard duty (guarden duty?). I had no idea that Idaho had weight limits on hunting rifles. Too bad about the Barrett. Mine is an Aero M5 by the way and I love it, just make sure you get an adjustable gas block and the right buffer weights/sizes. Lot of people run into trouble on builds because of buffer compatibility issues.
It's meh. Like the standard trigger that comes with most ARs. Meh but it works. You get what you pay for and I wasn't going for a super expensive build. I may switch it out as some point in the future.
Rifle: AR-15 or AR-10. You can get easy-to-finish kit receivers from Polymer80 for at least one of these if not both now.
Additional firearms: .22LR rifle and pistol for practicing. Ruger 10/22 is standard, I would suggest the Browning Buckmark over the Ruger pistol because the Browning is just plain better.
I would suggest finding an old copy of Mel Tappan's "Survival Guns" at a library or used bookstore, and just go to the end of the book to read the recommended arsenals by various gun luminaries. The one that has always stuck with me is Jeff Cooper's recommendations. I always found Cooper to be a blowhard dinosaur, particularly with his "only the Colt 1911 is any good, don't use anything else!" because that gun has so many stupid problems with it that it will get you killed. However, his reasoning for his (other) picks in his arsenal was brilliant.
And because I just *know* some 1911 fanboi is going to come along: go read Blitz308's story of his self-defense shooting over on the AR-15 general discussion forum. Exactly what happened to him is exactly why I have always thought the 1911 was a fucking stupid firearm, since long before it happened to him live and in realtime.
Citadel RS-S1... AR style shotgun and absolutely HAMMERS. Got mine for less than $500. Beware, whatever you shoot with it will not be around much longer, as the slugs I put through it left me laughing with the size of holes it left. NOTE: Your shotty shells will need a high oz of powder (1 1/8th+ oz), as it takes a bit to cycle while breaking in.
Well if he’s using the right perk then assist count towards killstreaks. Putting out the fires was holding OBJ. He was close to a sentry gun by my math. LULZ
I’m more of an Eotech man after Stephen Willeford used it to put down the Sutherland Springs killer, and after Robert O’Neill used one to take out the trash Bin Laden
Although for decent cheap Microdots, I always recommend staying away from Sightmark and going with at least a Primary Arms microdot. They are excellently built, durable, 50,000 hour battery life, and very decent for the price. Either that or the Aimpoint micro but that’s some extra $$$
If homeboy’s Sightmark failed him which very well could have happened this could have ended a lot worse
Yeah it’s a shame, Holosun is doing some great stuff atm but that’s all made in Chyna too.
The MRO would still be my go-to. Not exactly budget but it’s not Eotech or Aimpoint levels of pricing either, and it’s probably the most proven outside of those two brands.
If it’s a plunker for fun and games, a Japanese-made Vortex Strikefire II is fine.
But especially when it’s a critical PD situation, it can’t be breaking or take five seconds to get working. You spend the dough on the quality ones, and rest easy.
Of course, good old irons never have batteries to die.
Yeah, one thing I hate to see is people with a collection of five different guns with a bunch of cheap stuff stuck to them. In reality you need one, you need it to work, and you need to train with it. It’s fine to have stuff you play around and have fun with, but the priority should be to get your one serious rifle set up properly, then worry about the fun stuff for your Sunday Gunday posts later.
I hate to sound yeagerish, but an optic won't do anything for you that close. I didn't see him get to level a single shot, it was more of a general direction fire. Luckily he connected! Being able to connect without a sight picture other than point and shoot isn't difficult, I encourage everyone to try it.
This has been a massive redpill, managed to deprogram a few people myself who originally bought into the story of him being a white supremacist mass shooter. Their reactions when they realise the mainstream media and their left-wing youtube personalities have lied to them is priceless.
The company who makes it should donate one to Kyle, in fact, a lot of gun manufacturers and accessory makers should donate their products to him for promotion! Just like that "cool clock Ahmed" kid that got all the free stuff from Microsoft and Facebook.
I'd take my old Trijicon over those red dots. 4x zoom and glow in the dark iron sights on the top. Cracked the lets on my helmet though. The eye relief could have been improved.
Son of a bitch! I was checking out to see the SIG Romeo7 specs and it said "Firefox would like to share your location". Really? When I'm looking for gun parts? Fuck that browser.
Only through a glass darkly.
Kyle did NOT bring the gun across state lines, even though NPR is still repeating that lie.
He was cleaning off graffiti from a shop. Was asked to defend the shop with someone else’s legal gun. Who else would? The police had already given up.
Is defending private property bad optics?! Is defending your own life bad optics?!?!?
I think you missed the joke, love the passion though
Yes. I missed the joke.
Can confirm, did not downvote.
same, same
I gotta confess, I almost downvoted. But then I summoned my inner Pepe love and let it be.
Speak for yourself. I love only my wife.
OK, and my dog...
Come on. We love !
Love your wife too
Listen fat, common man!
I dealt with shithead after shithead today at work and it kind of got me down...this exchange brought a really sincere smile to my face and I appreciate it. Thank you all for just being...human.
With a red dot, you'll never miss!
Cries in astigmatism.
Get yourself some eye-lasers! Fixed that problem for me!
How's Jean Grey doing?
I would in a split second but my vision is otherwise not bad enough to justify it.
I only needed 0.5 and 1.0 corrective glasses for nearsightedness but they had huge corrections for my astigmatism.
Open both eyes, zero to that.
Doesn't really help shrug. I practice with both eyes open anyway.
If that doesn’t work, or you are using a red dot on a hand gun, do some research on a Merit Optical Attachment. It’s about $60 and can attach to your prescription glasses or regular safety glasses.
I can’t speak to the practicality of it, but it's something I will also look into as my eyesight gets worse with age.
Try raising only the rear sight and look through that with dominant eye only. I’m gonna find a work around for you, fellow patriot.
Prism scopes my dude. The Primary Arms ACSS reticle is awesome. I have one for my AR, and I'll be getting a second for my AK.
Chinese junk!
Leopold VXR Patrol
All that is good about a red dot (easy to see/use in low light, close range).
All that is good about a traditional magnification scope (ballistic drop compensation reticle even without batteries, 1.5x-4x magnification).
In one 100% USA designed, machined, assembled and packaged optic.
Call it junk if you want, but it fits my needs fine. I really don't have a reason to drop $700 on an optic, but I'm sure it's excellent.
Dayuum thats a pretty penny though. Better be good
Plan to give something like that a go.
I've been researching these, I'm thinking of the 2x mag version. Must be awesome scopes if you're buying 2.
I mean, I'm just one random dude on the internet. Definitely do your own research and draw your own conclusions.
Laughs with circle-dot.
C’mon give him a break he didn’t grasp the Chinese danger of cheap knockoffs he’s only 17!
In his defense, it wasn't his rifle.
......which makes the whole things that much more amazing if you think about it.
Especially with needing to clear a jam while an attacker is pulling a gun on you
I've seen others state that he cleared a jam. Could you provide a link or describe at what instance it occurred? I've seen the available video clips and I can't spot it.
/edit Was it between turning skater bois heart into hamburger and ablating "MEDIC"s lower bicep?
How I wish. Shit happens.
I didn't upvote your top comment because want to keep it at 69.
You might as well go back and upvote, it’s well past that now.
But you left the original post. Good for you.
He's not like Kyle: this guy came into this thread with guns loaded and started firing. Our patron saint of street warfare Kyle would never be this loose of a cannon.
You just think? C'mon man.
"Are you a junkie?"
We have the best misunderstanders, don't we?
It was a really shitty 'joke'. Really really shitty.
the media continuing to parrot an already proven lie? outrageous.
Business as usual.
Maybe they just really like spending time in courtrooms with Lin Wood's guys.
Police don’t even work anymore. As angry as that makes me, who can blame them after what Mr.Fentynal did to all cops everywhere?
It didn't start then. They haven't done the job that "pro-blue people" think they do for decades.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Kris_Kime
We can be “pro blue” and still hold individual cops accountable. It’s not that difficult.
What happens when the whole department rolls up for a gun confiscation without a warrant?
Police and Sheriff departments reflect the communities they serve. Which means blue areas tend to have some lousy police departments.
For example, the state of Oregon could pass a completely unconstitutional ban on firearms, and while the Portland PD might go along with it, most of the County Sheriffs in the state will refuse to enforce it.
Painting all police organizations with the same broad brush is really showing ignorance of why some police departments are so lousy. Most good cops don't want to work for a cucked city council and police chief, constantly tying their hands from executing the law, having to serve leftist DAs who use indictments as a political tool, not a tool of justice, and a community that hates them just because they are cops.
So, while there are still plenty of good cops in places like Portland or San Fransisco, there's enough douchebags to poison the punch, simply because the hiring pool is bad.
Cops do very little good. Ive seen them with my own eyes. Small towns are about as good as you will get, anything larger (even suburbs) and it falls apart.
Yeah I know. Try reporting a theft and see how useful they are. They’re worthless until you have to shoot a scumbag breaking into your house and then all of the sudden they want to do their jobs and put you behind bars for a self defense situation. It’s a joke really.
Now try explaining that to a random normie, or tradcon even...
Lol, the joke is he used iron sights, and those are suboptimal
I can't say good or bad. I don't even know if he had optics
Just a rail
Yea to hell with that! that kid pulled off shots that almost none of us could pull off in that same situation.... Not to mention clearing a fucking malfunction a fraction of a second before being executed!
Sound like Space Marine material.
Do you want to know More?!
Kyle's Kommie Klown Killers
Whoop whoop!
4K?
Come on you apes!! You wanna live forever?!
I only have one rule. Everyone fights. No one quits. If you don’t do your job, I’ll shoot you.
The god emperor's finest.
I had forgotten about clearing a malfunction in the midst of the other incredible things he does, inhuman
When you slow down the video it appears to be a failure to feed, when he pulls back the charging handle a round is not ejected.
Don't save money on your mags pedes. A cheap or old spring could mean your death if it is too slow.

Hope its here and not on Brandon Herras breakdown that youtube removed
Seen a ton of these. Watching K smite commies never gers old
I swear I watched his video but I never saw him talk about clearing a failure.
Eeee. Sorry
It may be in Brandon Herra's breakdown You tube pulled it and he hasn't put it back yet
So now I can't resist searching for it....might have been Colion Noirs video
Nooe, not in that one
you can hear him do it. The sound is unmistakable.
Yeah, it’s easy at the range, but I’m training to figure it out under pressure (in my head). Always have an extra fresh mag ready on you, in case you need to just drop the mag and clear the chamber manually, and hopefully get going again immediately.
Who's training includes multiple attackers at close range after being hit with a skateboard and stomped?
Kid is a fooking ninja
Haha, you're right. I would've honestly probably turned to the glock at that point for close range, which is way less accurate and turns it into a more indiscriminate situation and makes one more vulnerable to attack from all angles. If I was a militia leader I would want him right by my side.
If Kyle had not fixed that malfunction quickly like he did he would have been executed by the Antifa criminal.
The left would still be celebrating Kyle's death right now saying they took out a right-wing terrorist.

When will his would-be executioner be arrested? This felon had a firearm illegally and tried to use it against someone on the ground!
I didn't know that happened, that's fucking insane.
YOUUUU SUNNUVABITCH
I try ! I try!
This needs to be a teachable moment.
I hope everyone has learned the advantage of a single point sling in close quarters.
I would argue that. I played around a lot this weekend with my new sling. I hate single point. Hit me in the junk every fucking time I tried to get to my sidearm. With it setup in a 2 point, I can move the rifle to fire with no issues and move it to the side with no issues.
Regardless of what works for you, get a real sling that will hold when someone is trying to take your weapon away. I picked up 2 cheap ones from Amazon for a plastic stock 10/22 AR style build and I don't even trust them for that!
Got a recommendation?
Viking tactics sling. quick adjust on the fly by pulling a strap.
Blue force gear sling also
Ferro concepts slingster
This guy watches flannel daddy.
Hahahah fucking called it
Viking tactics sling is what I am getting soon. From everything I have seen its the shit.
Dont have an AR now
But I could supply a John Woo movie
I have a magpul that does single and double, QD or clip, depending on rifle configuration. When selecting, pay close attention to the ends and how they will work for you.
Kek at all the guys in here not understanding the joke
He could have, however did he even need to use his optic in any of his shots? They were all point-blank.
The joke is 99% of grown men with $5000 Gucci guns tactical costumes would’ve been killed where a teenager in a tshirt and budget rifle killed 2 commies and wounded another and walked away
He rocked that Sightmark! 😉
Sig Romeo 5 is a great red dot and can be had for a hundred and some change.
No hate here!
Another a similar note: we need a guns.win!
I made my first handgun purchase, what do I do for a rifle or shotgun! I want a semi automatic shotgun because they're awesome, but realistically an AR is my best bet. Need pede guidance!
If you want an AR right now, build your own. You can order all the parts, stripped lower, 18-inch upper, only need to have the lower sent through an FFL, then put it all together in your own home. Much cheaper too.
This is exactly what Im doing, already have lower and all parts except BCG because COVID made my fedex package delivery delayed :(
Aero M4E1 blem lower that gundeals loves?
Anderson lower
That PSA KS-47 looks enticing though. Lifetime warranty and the cheapest AR-15 in 7.62x39 that I know of.
Where do I do it and how much info do they require for me to buy it?
PSA is a good place to start. Info? No different than what you put anytime you buy anything online.
What do you think about this one PSA 10.5" CARBINE-LENGTH 5.56 NATO 1/7 NITRIDE 12" SLANT M-LOK MOE EPT SBA3 PISTOL KIT WITH MBUS SIGHT SET & ROMEO 5
https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-10-5-carbine-length-5-56-nato-1-7-nitride-12-slant-m-lok-moe-ept-sba3-pistol-kit-with-mbus-sight-set-romeo-5.html
Depends completely on the style you want and how much money you want to spend.
I want a bad ass highly dependable rifle.
Sounds like you know then. The rest us up to you and how much you are willing to spend. AR-15 builds are good because parts are interchangeable between manufacturers. Lots of Youtube videos to point you in the right direction for assembly as well. Be warned if you're starting out, there's a number of gun smithing tools you'll want to acquire, from magpul wrenches to long hex wrenches.
Everything is out of stock for 5.56. Do you have another site?
Awesome thank you.
How all mine are built. You can get all the parts right now just hard to find complete guns on the shelf. 👍🏼🇺🇸
Decided to do an AR-10 build this year because
Fuck it
Trump sent me Trump bucks
Good luck finding a rifle on the shelf right now
What did you go with? I am really thinking about selling my .30-06 and doing an Aero M5 build.
What are you going to use the rifle for? I've got both, and if it's just for hunting, I'd probably keep the '06, just because the AR10 is probably going to be a lot heavier depending on what you use in the build. Depends on the type of hunting you're doing: if you're just sitting in a treestand back east somewhere then it's fine, but if you're out west hiking all over the mountains looking for elk then you might not want to carry it around. I love mine though and I do take it hunting sometimes, so as long as you're willing to carry that beast then have at it!

PSA .308 AR-10. Stripped lower, complete upper, lower parts kit. All for about $900.
I have a psa lower for my 5.56. How’s the trigger that came with the LPK? The one that came with my lower is kind of meh.
It's meh. Like the standard trigger that comes with most ARs. Meh but it works. You get what you pay for and I wasn't going for a super expensive build. I may switch it out as some point in the future.
It also shouldn't be too hard to build a Mossberg 500 fishing rod.
Go with the AR platform, then just slap a .410 upper on it if you want a shotgun! Parts swap out like Legos for adults.
Shotgun: Remington 11-87. Edit: 12ga obviously
Rifle: AR-15 or AR-10. You can get easy-to-finish kit receivers from Polymer80 for at least one of these if not both now.

And because I just *know* some 1911 fanboi is going to come along: go read Blitz308's story of his self-defense shooting over on the AR-15 general discussion forum. Exactly what happened to him is exactly why I have always thought the 1911 was a fucking stupid firearm, since long before it happened to him live and in realtime.
That grip safety? I hate it. Just read that post for the first time and I now know why I do.
Just tape a shotgun to the side of your AR, kinda like a canted sight but better.
Do it properly...

Thats fake. Not enough rust on the 870.
Citadel RS-S1... AR style shotgun and absolutely HAMMERS. Got mine for less than $500. Beware, whatever you shoot with it will not be around much longer, as the slugs I put through it left me laughing with the size of holes it left. NOTE: Your shotty shells will need a high oz of powder (1 1/8th+ oz), as it takes a bit to cycle while breaking in.
Agreed. Then maybe it would have been a hat trick.
Well if he’s using the right perk then assist count towards killstreaks. Putting out the fires was holding OBJ. He was close to a sentry gun by my math. LULZ
I'll get over it. He needed to survive an attempted murder. Next time he may well get the trifecta.
You had me at “wtf”
Then the shit post Was realized lol
"FIX BAYONETS"
A good trigger is also important...
Mrs. Loves her Aimpoint red/green reflex sight.
lmao maximum quality post
Aimpoint CompM4s, most durable optic out there for CQBR. Literally bombproof and stupid long battery life.
Classic shit-trolling here!! Take note new frens!
you absolute mad lad
Hahahahaha. Brilliant! 🏆
You're gonna get so many people with this one. Kek!
I'm rustling some jimmies with some frens not reading the whole post! This family is so wholesome!
Got to go with the eotech for maximum taticool.
Looking at that g33 3x to go with it, but 1k is tight rn
I’m more of an Eotech man after Stephen Willeford used it to put down the Sutherland Springs killer, and after Robert O’Neill used one to take out the trash Bin Laden
Although for decent cheap Microdots, I always recommend staying away from Sightmark and going with at least a Primary Arms microdot. They are excellently built, durable, 50,000 hour battery life, and very decent for the price. Either that or the Aimpoint micro but that’s some extra $$$
If homeboy’s Sightmark failed him which very well could have happened this could have ended a lot worse
Oh you got me, you sonofabitch.
Haha. You really had me going.
What a Shitposter!
50-year-old army veteran here. iron sights are good enough for me. get off my lawn, whipper snappers
Oh, you!
anything to make a bigger hole on that guys dick
The hole gonna easily be bigger than his peepee
The hydrostatic shock almost blew byeceps arm off, anything close to that trauma gelded that POS
Free transition surgery
No! Romeo 7 is Chinese asshoe! Same with the Romeo 5.
Aimpoint Pro, made by Swedish bombshell women.
Or a genuine Made in USA Leupold.
The Romeo 4 line is also US made.
Yeah it’s a shame, Holosun is doing some great stuff atm but that’s all made in Chyna too.
The MRO would still be my go-to. Not exactly budget but it’s not Eotech or Aimpoint levels of pricing either, and it’s probably the most proven outside of those two brands.
With the better ones, you buy once, and cry once.
If it’s a plunker for fun and games, a Japanese-made Vortex Strikefire II is fine.
But especially when it’s a critical PD situation, it can’t be breaking or take five seconds to get working. You spend the dough on the quality ones, and rest easy.
Of course, good old irons never have batteries to die.
Yeah, one thing I hate to see is people with a collection of five different guns with a bunch of cheap stuff stuck to them. In reality you need one, you need it to work, and you need to train with it. It’s fine to have stuff you play around and have fun with, but the priority should be to get your one serious rifle set up properly, then worry about the fun stuff for your Sunday Gunday posts later.
Well sonofabitch!
Just bought the romeo7 last week...good call!
fucking top Kek. optics. nicely done lad.
That fat load Yamiche Alcindor Jabbar, who works for NPR, seems to not want to wonder why a dude with a PARAMEDIC hat is brandishing a Glock.
She's all over Kyle, but not over that dude.
And that dude said he's sorry he didn't blow Kyle's brains out.
Appears to me that she's taking a side, a side with guns and planned violence.
Weird!
I hate to sound yeagerish, but an optic won't do anything for you that close. I didn't see him get to level a single shot, it was more of a general direction fire. Luckily he connected! Being able to connect without a sight picture other than point and shoot isn't difficult, I encourage everyone to try it.
Unfortunately, saying that in the title killed the joke... just like Kyle killed the Pedo!
No, I get it.
Nothing wrong with that, ole' James has a few excellent nuggets of truth mixed in with a few hundred cans of red bull.
My favorite: All pistols should be 9mm, all 9mm's should be Glocks, and all Glocks should be G19's.
Not everyone is going to be a Kyle or Yeager, lol. I usually cringe at myself giving any advice where mileage may vary.
You had me going there for a sec bud.
I fucking knew exactly what that was gonna be!
OH YOU GOT ME!!!
I did not usually get tricked but this one did. Made me laugh.
He had us in the first half.
This has been a massive redpill, managed to deprogram a few people myself who originally bought into the story of him being a white supremacist mass shooter. Their reactions when they realise the mainstream media and their left-wing youtube personalities have lied to them is priceless.
He was set up by dangerous adult felons who were armed.
SKS with ironsights. Im a simple man.
The company who makes it should donate one to Kyle, in fact, a lot of gun manufacturers and accessory makers should donate their products to him for promotion! Just like that "cool clock Ahmed" kid that got all the free stuff from Microsoft and Facebook.
He was also hit a couple of times with a skateboard before the run. This is why teenagers and 20 year old males are sent to war.
I'd take my old Trijicon over those red dots. 4x zoom and glow in the dark iron sights on the top. Cracked the lets on my helmet though. The eye relief could have been improved.
Self Defense isn’t a bad thing!!
Son of a bitch! I was checking out to see the SIG Romeo7 specs and it said "Firefox would like to share your location". Really? When I'm looking for gun parts? Fuck that browser.
Fuck that Chinese made garbage. EOTech is made in the USA.
