Ok, I expect you guys to keep this on the low.   We do not intend to discuss this publicly  yet and would like for the resulting Q&A video to be a neat treat for the viewers.

That said, I do need to solicit Q&A questions this month for this event, so here we go:

Please supply a *single question* as a sentence, not a paragraph, on any acceptable topic for InRangeTV (Karl -not Ian in this one), Primary & Secondary (Matt & crew) and, uhm, CarnikCon.   :D

Thank you for your questions, thank you for your support, and thank you for keeping this between us for now. 

~Karl

Comments

Klay Owens

Can you give us a hint as to the class choice and set up that you will be running at Red October this year?

Alaskan Exile

What's your opinion on flat face triggers?

Voss

Can you divulge your thoughts on the CZ-75 and it's derivatives and clones; for example, the P-01, P-09, and clones like the Jericho 941.

London Jolly

From your combined experience, what would be the "best" (e.g. affordable, maintainable, enjoyable, etc.) transferable MG one could acquire?

Austin Kennedy

If, uhm, Dugan is around, what is the future of CarnikCon?

Marklar

Is the weight and OAL savings of an 11.5" SBR worth the loss of muzzle velocity in a 0-300 yard or home defense rifle?

Cyrus Freeman

Is there any tactical untility to running a PCC with a brace or is it better just to suffer the long barrel and use a real stock?

Garrett Schneider

You mentioned previously that a variable power optic is next to test for the WWSD project, have you thought about a variable power magnifier (behind a red dot) for the the "every man's" rifle?

james Kachman

What 5.56 duty/home-defense/SHTF round do you use, and why?

Kalle Cederström

Do you feel naked when you travel around to world on places where you can't concealed carry?

Kevin Bohne

Do you have recommendations for someone who is trying to improve marksmanship but doesn't really have access to large, open desert space or really anything bigger than a 100 yd range?

Bartosz Parczyński

Karl, what is your recommendation on the first long range rifle having budget around 4000usd (rifle plus optics) and what modifications should be done right away? Cheers!

Adam Chang

What is each of your personal SHTF carbine setups at home (platform, caliber, barrels, stocks, optics, lights, etc) and why?

Giovanni B. Ponzetto

Karl, I am restarting to shoot after a long time, ,Now I am in a bind, since the 98F, your new toy ( ;) ) could be a candidate, but on the other hand I'd value your opinion: would you go for an handgun able to mount a red dot? Here in Italy I will never carry in public, it will only be used at the range or, I'd rather it didn't, as an house defense weapon.

Drew Coleman

Who does Dugan's hair and are they looking for new clients?

Whatismoo

What do you think about using airsoft or paintball as a non-marksmanship training tool? For example, force on force, or practicing bounding and other maneuvers without the danger of range safety issues.

GunnerFreeman

Karl, what is your opinion on and experiences using pistol muzzle brakes and comps?

Jeffrey

What is your opinion of Magpul BAD levers and other similar products?

Lucky508

Is 300 ACC Blackout applicable to a 2G-ACM or similar type matches?

Call me Lilly, Lilith if ya Nasty.

What are your thoughts on the Knight's Armament PDW cartridge, the 6x35mm? Is it the next logical development from 5.56, a happy medium between 5.56 and other PDW cartridges like 5.7, or just another dead-end?

tyrelie

Karl, what feature of the modern sporting rifle would you like to see come equipped from factory that manufacturers do not normally include?

C.j. Singleton

How does adding a sound suppressor to a faxon Gunner or pencil profile barrel affect the harmonics?

GunnerFreeman

Speaking from my own experiences with a 16" faxon gunner barrel, adding a suppressor will affect the harmonics, shown in a shift in POI compared to shooting without a suppressor but I have not seen the groups open up any more compared to shooting without the suppressor. About the only noticeable thing is that the barrel will heat up faster suppressed meaning that the group size opens up faster but not any larger than a hot unsuppressed barrel.

Jonathan Smith

If 9mm is better than .40 sw or 10mm due to ammo capacity (for combat, not hunting), why isn't 5.7 or .22 mag better than 9mm?

Les Winner

Speaking from an accuracy stand point (not durability) than any rifle / scope combination in 30 caliber for under 500.00 available form one of the big Box stores (IE Wal-Mart, Dicks, etc..) would be superior to what was issued to a WW2 sniper

Paul Montanari

M27iar vs RPK opinions in practice and doctrine? possible 2gun match up???

Matisse Enzer

What can you say about home or very small scale manufacture of ammunition (including primers) in terms of history, techniques, safety, and politics?

MNETHTBRD

Why have semi-auto pistols with fixed or "floating" barrels (Luger, P38) become a thing of the past considering floated barrels are preferred today?

Kenny VanCleave

What is your opinion about the Marines going away from iron sights and only using red dot sights?

Chris Gunawan

Have you ever considered using two rifles in a 2GACM, I know it sounds far fetched, but given the lack of certain more appropriate weapons, (i.e Syria, Stalingrad, German airborne invasion of Crete, etc.) wouldn't it make sense to utilize (triage) what you have (such as a SVD and an AK-74) until suitable weapons were found?

Charles Adams

Recognizing the Glock is the default for the optic mounted pistol "modern," but are there other options that might be either an equal, close or even better (S&W, Walther, CZ, Springfield, etc)? (Ignoring the MASSIVE after-market for the Glock which doesn't exist for anything else.)

Kyle K

What's in your opinion the best wheel gun?

pcman312

What are the biggest problems you see with the gun industry (not community)?

Chris D

Should civilians use the same rifle ammunition as the military for non-practice purposes, given their lack of obligation to the Hague convention?

Benjamin Sobotta

What is your opinion on steel-cased ammo with respect to gun wear&tear? (e.g. Hornady Steel Match)

Brandon

Dug: I literally have only watched 2 of your videos as of this question, but I already want to know how it is you have select-fire Everythings. (That sentence technically isn't a question, and this sentence violates the "one-sentence only" rule for this Q&A, but I think we are all adults here and can cope. Whoops, that makes 3 sentences total, including this one, which as you can see I was smart enough to acknowledge now so as to prevent infinite recursive sentence-counting. Sorry, Karl. Er, SHIT)

Scott Holland

What is your opinion of the Keltec SU-16 series of rifles for an alternative to AR platforms in restrictive states, like CA?

Ashley

Dear Dugan: Where the hell did you manage to get a tank?

Mauserdude

What are your thoughts on the role of the bayonet, and melee use if a rifle, for combat and competition?

Michael Bagley

What are your thoughts on using an M1 Garand to get around "assault weapons" bans while still having a reasonably usable battle rifle?

Black Dots

This is going to be like The Wall Street Journal sharing editorial control with The Onion (i.e., long overdue). My question: Do you guys think the IAR firing from a box magazine is the best long term LMG solution for the US military?

Brian Clark

Given the military's desire to revert back to 7.62 NATO as an "interim" solution for "overmatch" until a new "intermediate caliber" is adopted, what round, real or imaginary, would best fit the military's needs?

Andrew Milbourne

Sort of a follow up to another supporter's question from last month: if you could choose ANY WWII-era submachine gun to compete in 2GACM with, which one would you pick and why?

Demetrios

To Dungan: Why have you been MIA and any plan for future content? P.S. Good to see you back!

Phillip André Frontéri

What are your rutines for cleaning and/or maintenance of you rifles and guns😀 how often etc. Keep up the good work😁

Ryan R Wunderlich

Barrel question: Do bolt-on AR heat dissipators make any meaningful difference in barrel performance?

Nick Champlin

Do you identify with the 'tactical lifestyle' as portrayed by the likes of Recoil Magazine, and some of the industry's marketing people?

Duke VonMeep the 2nd

big bore AR-15 style rifles seem to have some niche uses, are any particular calibers interesting to you, like 458 Socom for vehicle checkpoint? or would you rather stick to an AR-10 in .308?

Logan

These days we see a lot of gimmicks and snake oil in the firearms industry (RIP rounds and Fireclean comes to mind) Was there anything else similar pitched in the late 19th and 20th century, or more specifically the West?

Ed Motlin

What are your opinions on the SIG MPX, do you think it has the potential to replace the MP5?

Sturmgewehrr

Where did Dugan get his heaping supply of red-pills?

Aleks Rojo

Has there ever been any research to suggest that the cuts for the taper pins on barrels with a pinned FSB affect accuracy in any way? Warping of the barrel under heat, for example.

Aleks Rojo

I've often wondered this about the JP products. I'd be interested to hear their thoughts on these.

FLOPCOPTER

VZ.58 in .223- a fiesta of czechnology or a middlin' .223 platform outperformed by AR's?

T.L. (AKA Snug)

The "Garand ping" myth has been debunked, now how about the empty criticism of "you can't top off the magazine without unloading it" complaint, seeing as how a K98 would also be essentially unloaded in order to top off its magazine. (How many troops carried loose rounds rather than chargers/clips anyway?) This has always seemed like a bit of nonsense to me.

Pascal Planchenault

The French and British are installing 40mm cased telescoped ammunition on their armored vehicles and the LSAT LMG has successfully tested telescoped 5.56mm, 7.62mm and 6.5mm, do you think the next US military infantry weapon will used telescoped ammo or is this just a side project?

Andrew Donoghue

How long do you think it will be until humans are no longer directly involved in warfare?

Camilo Price

After the 7n6 import ban and mostly disappointing results from Rob Ski with the 5.45 ammo tests, are you optimistic about the future of this round in the US?

JD

What's your opinion on AK47/AKM parts kit builds compared to just outright buying an Arsenal or Century AK Pattern? Do you have any recommendations on certain kits to look out for?

Shawn Shay

Given the US and Russian Military have shown some interest in changing calibers what caliber would you see either choosing?

Sharyn Hinchcliffe

Blue Team Field Manual or Red Team Field Manual first for reading on INFOSEC and learning.

Christopher

Will the .40 S&W eventually become obsolete? Eclipsed by the 9mm? Thanks for all you guys do!

Michael Bagley

What is your one gun to rule them all? Will you guys do a postapacolypse survival and fight build/kit build?

Iain Hutchinson

Would you consider running the WWSD DMR rifle in a PRS competition?

collin simpson

With all the shit going on with North Korea what are you thoughts on the star wars program implemented under Regan? do you think it was actually completed and is still running or should it have not ended?

Travis Cole

Does a 338 Lapua Magnum honestly have any merit as a GPMG? Why not just stick with the M2 or 240 series? Thanks for considering!

Binary Notary

Any suggestions for laser training systems suitable for a 9mm pistol?

Cyrus Freeman

Any suggestions for laser systems for rifles?

Cheng Nemo

Still light enough to carry within a platoon But still storng projectile to shoot like a 50 cal

Cheng Nemo

Any shooting range/trip in US are welcomeing the Alines[and I mean the foreigner] worth paying a visit to shooting the firearms,tks

Dana Greene

Since you are now diving into the pistol customizations, have you guys ever thought about building your own pistol such as with Polymer 80 lower?

Independent George

Why did it take so long (literally until the 1960s) for pistol training to move away from single-handed point shooting and into the modern technique?

Scrubdowner

If you could add anything to 2gun and action shooting in general, assuming standard rules of safety (e.g. targets could now be 360° around the shooter) were not a concern, what would you add?

Jim Jones

Your personal thoughts on the Carl Gustav M/45, and any plans on doing a show on one?

Andrew Duke

Can you explain how the use of side arms has changed over the years?

Iain Hutchinson

What do you feel is the relationship between kinetic energy and stopping power?

Torgo_the_White

What is your opinion on cross-bolt style safeties on civilian ar-15's versus the standard selector switch type?

Elling Polden

Do you intend to put your WWSD rifles (and/or other guns of various types) through the stanardized course of fire you did for the Walther 2000 and SVD?

Bjørn Egil Larsen

Match design question. What do you think of having a "Medic" theme for a stage/course of fire? The fysical element could be something like to perform "hands only CPR" sets on a dummy,or administring a simple field dressing or turniqet. Nothing to advanced or time consuming off-course,but I think there are a myriad of super basic first aid elements that easily could be implemented into a stage design. Personally I would love to shoot a stage like this as I would get to hone two skillsets in one. Ha en fin dag! Hilsen fra Norge!

Erik Telning

With the proliferation of body armor today do you think that armies should start issue AP ammo (tungsten core) for regular service rifles, accepting the loss in terminal ballistics for increased possibility to actually wound your target?

Franklin S

Do you for reals have Dugan lined up for a video? :O If so, question for Mr Ashley: How much Patreon support would it take to get CarnikCon back in the game? I still wear my WWRGD bracelet

Alex

Do you think there is a segment of the American population that can have a rational conversation about guns without the use of terms like commiefornia, libtard, gun nut, redneck, etc or is it not possible?

Adam Cicigoi

Are offset iron sights or RDS a good compliment to a fixed 3x scope for CQB? My rifle is very similar to Ian's WWSD rifle.

Samuel K Harsha

Is it considered discourteous to run a muzzle break or squad up in the heavy class at a 2 gun match? (due to the extra noise)

MattC10/63

Is the American Kalashnikov market dying?

Theodore WALKER

How easy and/or legal is it for europeans as tourists to come shoot firearms/nfa items in the U.S. ?

Gordons Reloading Channel

Hello Karl, did you receive your HMG STG44, or in other words: whats the status about that? :-)

Brian I

Did you consider the Falcon 37 Habu charging handle in your WWSD build?
