Content

This is your official solicitation for your questions for the July 2018 Q&A.

This one will be for both Ian and Karl!

Please keep it to ONE question per person and, if you can, phrase the question as a single sentence rather than a paragraph.

As you know, we always receive more questions than can be dealt with so that format helps tremendously.

Thank you! 

Karl

Opinions on the 8.6 creedmoor

Adam Cicigoi

What can the SCAR-H do that an AR-10 can't be built to do?

Joe Lyons

What are the chances of seeing a match where you just equip yourselves as horribly as possible? And, no, I don't mean when you use WW1/WW2 gear. I mean, like, a Hi-Point carbine and a Taurus Judge, or something even worse. Because seeing the two of you shooting with gear that's damn near working against you, those are some of the most interesting matches to watch.

Scott Aronoff

Not that we want our guns tuned incorrectly, but what parts wear first on an AR that's over-gassed?

D Lewis

Dates for DB 2019?! We needs to know!

Azmi Azahari

(Hope you guys finally answer my question) So, what's your opinion on interrupted cycle semi-auto (a.k.a lever release guns like the ones becoming popular in the UK) that could be used to comply with AWB legislation?

Jonathan Jones

Was there anything specific that made you choose to move to Arizona over other states? (Attractions, climate, cost, etc.)

Fudj

Do you guys have any tips or advice for people just getting into Class 3 items i.e. suppressors. Anything you know now that you wish you would have known when you started. Thanks!

Martin Eugene Smith

Ian, have you figured out what you're going to do to get your Chauchat running?

Matthew Jackson

I wonder if the nice gentleman from Anvil/C&Rsenal fame might have done that already...

MNETHTBRD

How did the US Army go from forcing it's allies to adopt a .30 cal cartridge to adopting an intermediate smallbore cartridge in less than a decade? What caused them to make such a radical change?

Affectionate Nouns

Karl, do you have any advice for someone looking to get into marksmanship-centric competition a la High Power?

Markus Kammler

Do you consider yourselves fellow citizens of Kekistan? Jokes aside, a more serious question: How do you think you would react in a gunfight(self-defense on the street)? Run and fire wildly in the general direction or just be calm and fire away, maybe crouching?

Matthew Jackson

Not exactly a question, but I'd like to see a serious 2 gun match pushing the defensive/trench-assault capabilities of the scattergat, with stage scoring that doesn't depend entirely on speed of jamming shells in it - can it be done?

¹¡íÁ·¥úGáB½5@±t3

What kind of footwear do you folks use during matches? I see people using everything from hiking boots to trail runners, and I'm wondering what you find is most comfortable for a full day of shooting.

Sophie

Asked once before, If you were a newer shooter what would you spend focus on with a limited budget: training classes, matches, or practice ammo?

POGLIFE2171

Hey guys, love the channel even when I don't agree with some of the opinions y'all have your attitudes always have me come back for more. You are part of a modern infantry unit with M4's and 240B light machine guns and are teleported back to ostfront 1944. You run into a German unit with STG44's and MG42's. Who has the advantage?

Walker Sosebee

InRange/ForgottenWeaposn has seemed to have a growing relationship with Varusteleka. Are you thinking that this may evolve into a much bigger, mutually beneficial thing? (like Patreon supports getting discount codes, monthly giveaways being Varusteleka cards, etc.)

Leo Goubeaux

Ian, as a fellow southpaw, did you ever consider a left handed upper for the WWSD project?

Teddy

Death by PowerPoint! If you [ had the opportunity / were forced ] to give one PowerPoint presentation on any topic of your choice to any audience of your choice, and your audience was contractually obliged to pay attention, what would your topic be, and who would you present it to?

R545

Karl, before WWSD was completed you stated a lone individual on SHTF world should go with a .308. Do you still think that with the success of WWSD?

Jacob Forsythe

Would you consider a video/series on finding the most practical ban state rifles? The rules may be dumb but as you guys know, dumb laws can lead to interesting if not equally dumb innovations. Also, i want to like the su-16 and need more internet confirmation.

Patrick Wipf

For both of you. How would small arms technology have developed if smokeless powder had not been invented until the early to mid 1900's? Would countries still have moved to smaller caliber firearms or would it have just "plateaued" with mid/large bore rifles?

London Jolly

What in your guys opinion is the worst or most annoying aspect of the gun community in America? Gear snobs, fudds, gun bunnies, etc. Thanks for all you guys do!

Colin Blake

Do you feel competive shooting (IDPA, USPSA, 3 gun etc) negatively effects or creates bad habits for law enforcement?

Jake R

For both of you. African Bush Wars. Say you enlisted as a mercenary soldier in the Congo crisis of the 1960's. What primary weapon system would you prefer?. AK platform or FAL?. Often times in the bush wars engagements would happen at 500-600 meters with a 30 man patrol opening fire on massed charging enemy. by the same token ambush situations and assaulting an enemy held village was quite common.

Jacob Forsythe

In your honest opinion, is someone in modern America with a snub nose or .380 in their pocket seriously under-armed? Modern "service" pistols have so much to offer but i find myself less and less interested in pistols i know i would never carry. Do you usually edc the pistols that we see you train/compete with the most?

TK

What guns do you have an irrational hatred for and what guns do you have an irrational love of?

Tim Black

I’m seeing that SOCOM is switching from 7.62 NATO to 6.5 Creedmoor in some of their precision rifles. Is this an indication that the entire US military will go that direction?

Zayernot

What are your thoughts on US military handguns post 1911, and the transition to the sig 320? A debate I hear frequently about is the Sig 226 v.s. the Beretta M9, what are your views on these two firearms and the army selecting the Beretta?

Arturo Ceron

Given the wide spread use of the intermediate cartridge, what is the role rifle ammunition such as 7.62 NATO on the modern battlefield ... strictly for long range sniping and light machine guns?

Samuel K Harsha

In your M27 IAR video you mentioned that the piston lends itself better than DI to volume of fire. Is the piston AR going to see a comeback due to this but perhaps for the "right reasons" rather than the intitial excuse of "more reliable?"

Thomas Victa

Few people really know those answers but technically the AR-10 has some pretty big limitations.

Les Winner

What do you think the effect would have been on a WW1 battlefield if the doughboys had brought lever action pistol caliber rifles instead of shotguns for trench clearing?

Joseph Roberts

With the knowledge of incoming lever action content, when will see a 2GACM that starts on horseback (Simulated for the horses safety)?

Thomas Victa

When will we see optics mounted pistols more widely accepted? What do you see as the biggest hurdle in the commercial market?

E Germi

There seems to be a pervasive stereotype that assault rifles made from milled metal are sturdier and more accurate than guns made from stamped sheet metal. Have you seen any proof that this is actually true? For example, has anyone done scientific tests comparing milled receiver AK-47s with stamped receiver AKMs, or comparing AR-15s with AR-18s?

Joel Hume

When i see photos of troops in Afghanistan i often see lots of guys with suppressors on their ARs. Are these soldiers using actual subsonic ammo on those guns or are they just outfitted with suppressors to reduce the sound footprint of the unit while still using standard ammo?

Jason Jespersen

What do you feel is the minimum level of practice required for someone to be considered a responsible firearms owner?

Max Baird

With your 2-gun competition pistols, I suppose more so your Glock 19s than the H9s, were there any other pistols you considered? If not, why?

Alex

What is with the not cleaning/ lubing guns obsession tat seems to permeate the firearms community?

John W

What do you have against the 5.7 cartridge?

Ryan Zins

Hi guys. Up here in NH, we enjoy constitutional carry for all law abiding citizens. What level of proficiency do you think one has to have with their conceal carry weapon of choice before carrying regularly?

Ryan Zins

Hi guys. Up here in NH, we enjoy constitutional carry for all law abiding citizens. What level of proficiency do you think one has to have with their conceal carry weapon of choice before carrying regularly?

FrontTowardEnemy

A while back you all were discussing the SVD and soviet sniper doctrine. My question is, in your opinions, who had the better doctrine when it came to the role of the sniper? The Soviets? Or The US/West.

Andrew Milbourne

If you were going to hire out as a soldier of fortune in Africa or Southeast Asia in the 1960s or 70s and could choose whatever kit you wanted, what rifle/pistol combo would you pick and why?

Brandon

In my younger years (okay, even to this day) I was a master at choosing the absolute worst guns to buy - I don't know why, but my decision-making in general seems to be way worse than I think it is, so it probably has something to do with that - so I've two contenders: Mini-14 in a bullpup stock (Muzzelite or similar) Calico in 9mm with 100-round drum/mag/WTFyoucallit

David Gummo

I have a Sharps-Borchardt and got a reprint of the catalog for it. In the catalog they advertise their express rifle and cartridge. The cartridge uses a hollow point bullet that can accept a 22 rimfire blank. "so that the hunters of grizzlies and other ugly game can use them as explosive bullets". My question is how common were such rounds back in the late 1800's and were they effective enough to really bother with?

Brandon

You, sir (and/or ma'am), have the best username I have ever seen.

Joe Lyons

Helical magazine, is the technical term. But, yeah, they look '80s cool, but damn are they awful, lol.

Brandon

I know you're not asking me - nor should you, I'm an idiot - but given that you are obviously looking at classes as one out of several good options, I would suggest picking up a MantisX to make dry-fire practice more fun and beneficial (once you know what you *should* be doing for fundamentals, such as after a beginner's class or help from knowledgeable friends/range-bros, that is; you don't want to accidentally instill bad habits)...and it even helps with live-fire, so it's pretty much a win-win. I doubt that Ian/Karl will mention it, but I know a lot of LEO/mil that, if it had been available to them when they first got into guns, would have been a No-Brainer Buy for them.

Andrew Donoghue

What is the single best thing you can do to improve your security online?

Jasper Welsch

How does firing a rifle (or pistol) at 90 degrees effect the impact of the bullet in relation to the sight picture and is it worse with a high offset like on an AR?

Sean William OMalley

Do you think that your WWSD carbine would be too light for military issue or does stuff like the fiberglass lower make it durable enough for military issue.

Sophie

I already own one!

Duzr

What are your feelings on multiple sighting systems on carbines and rifles? I am referring to combinations such as a variable magnified optic plus offset RDS, fixed magnified optic with a red dot mounted on top and other such combinations. I've seen both military rifles from H&K setup this way as well as the race guns that 3gun competitors use.

Bryan W.

Could you please answer the age old question... Ginger or Mary Ann?

Jonathan Beland

Hi guys, I'm thinking I may go for it and get myself a WWSD rifle. The thing is, I do not have the tools or skills necessary to do the complete build. Who would you recommend I enlist for help? Is going to a gunsmith the way to go? How much do you think a fair price for that service would be? Thanks and keep up the fantastic work!

Ferrous

First off, thank you both for your content and the excellent job you both do. A few months back you guys mentioned that a lever gun would be a good option for people who live in states with restrictive firearm laws. My question is why would you go for lever gun Vs something along the lines or a Ruger mini14 or a KelTec su-16? Thanks again, keep up the good work.

Andy Kuzyszyn

Would your vision of Net Neutrality and the concept of requiring all ISP's to treat all traffic equally affect an ISP's ability to combat cyberattacks which they are uniquely capable of mitigating? Something like a DDoS for example.

Travis Winegarden

Karl this question is mostly for you (because of your dislike for the Bullpup system). How manageable was The Recoil impulse and the feel of the Desert Tech MDR in 5.56, and how do you think it would perform in the two gun setting?

Anthony O'Nan

Given the choice between a fully functional, lore consistent Morita Assault rifle, or the M41 Pulse rifle, and ammunition supplied for either indefinitely. Which would you choose?

Craig Stockwell

Is the Walther PPK/S still a reasonable choice as a CCW? Thanks!

Ian

Karl and Ian, who would be on your 4 man 2gun/3gun dream teams? preferably still living.

Daniel Tighe

When you two were kids what was it that you wanted to do 'when you became grown-ups?' If that plan changed, why?

Sean S.

Hi Karl and Ian what is your thoughts on the difference between the 7mm and 8mm mauser rounds? I have heard good things about both cartridges but have only shot the 8mm mauser round. Keep up the great work guys I look forward to see whats next.

Terry Buchholz

I've asked before but, here is my submission again and it's not an easy one line question. Why do bullet designers/makers cater to the gel test, when we're told gel isn't a true representation of tissue? Is there a better, more accurate test we should look at when we're trying to select self defense ammo? I feel like Paul Harrell"s "meat target" tests more accurately depict how a bullet performs. Your thoughts on his results? Thank you.

Herk

I'm considering a titanium A2 flash suppressor for my WWSD upper to place the least amount of mass on the muzzle (it also fits with the "use modern materials" theme); is there any reason why you'd talk me out of it?

Spot Spotterson

On a scale of 1 to Yes, how crazy fun would it be to try and run a Desert Eagle at a competition?

Matthew Hooper

Do you think any NFA items will ever be deregulated within the next 5-10 years, or do you feel that given the current political climate, that the NFA will pretty much remain law for the foreseeable future? Also, are there any pro firearms pieces of legislation that have you hopeful?

Jeremy Rumbaugh

2nd try Any recommendations on good training courses? I'm interested mostly in tactical rifle usage, but also emergency medical, hand to hand, etc.

Herk

Titanium gas block is also something that I'm looking at, if that elicits any ideas.

Scott Shaw

Hi guys - asked before -- The Garand seems great but no love for the M1a. Why is that?

james Kachman

What stage props/target presentations do you love to see and want to see more of?

Alex Pierce

Could you guys do some comparisons between .357 sig and 9 mm parabellum regarding barrier penetration, recoil, accuracy, etc.? Maybe discuss the history of .357 sig? I think this caliber deserves more widespread availability and adoption.

Maxim

What are your thoughts on a sighting system using altered reality tech? i.e. A projected HUD showing point of impact projected on a Google Glass type device. Do you know if such a thing is being worked on?

Drake Vanders

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the russia's smoothbore AK's with "Paradox Rifling" and the use of .366 TKM in russia as a means to bypass certain russian gun laws, what are your opinions on this?

Michael MacGyver

Karl what are your thoughts on the future of weapon design with regards to generative design (computer generated iterative designs basically evolving to the most efficient possible outcome based on requirements [materials used, strength, weight, materials cost etc.].)? There are some interesting designs produced by AutoDesk using this technique including: an airplaine bulkhead that's half the weight of the original yet just as strong, a racing car frame that's lighter and stronger than the original, a drone frame that's lighter yet just as rigid, there's even an artist who used the software to create a bow. The designs are very organic looking, it would probably have huge benefits in areas other than merely the cosmetic i.e. reducing weapon weight, (potentially) increasing reliability, reducing number of components, improved machining speed etc. Bit of an involved question, but what are your thoughts?

Derek Martin

Karl, after a stab at an improved ak how far back is it from a wwsd? Do you think it could catch up in total performance?

StuG

You have commented several times on the negligible effect of a WWII era bolt action rifle on a modern battlefield, as well as the superiority of modern, store bought hunting rifles. ~~How effective would a store bought bolt action hunting rifle with the scope of your choice be on a modern battlefield?~~

Seth Nelson

Why are semi-auto shotguns absent from the defensive shotgun discussion generally; and is there a reason semi-auto was not represented in your shotgun comparison video?

Callum Bryant

What; in your opinion, is the superior method of magazine release and retention and why? Do you prefer the AR style 'straight in' or the AK's 'rock in'?

Zap Rowsdower

Ian - Do you think the AK ever had an open bolt format in it's conceptual stages of development? I always thought it was strange the safety lever physically blocks the charging handle in typical sub machinegun fashion.

Joe

Why don't more modern submachine guns/pistol-caliber carbines combine the magazine well with the pistol grip, especially since using actual pistol magazines seems to be a relatively common practice? Beretta's CX4 storm, with its "pistol-like" controls (minus the cross bolt safety) and mag well seems like a rad design.

Ed Motlin

What would rather carry, the Type 38 or Type 99 Arisaka?

Call me Lilly, Lilith if ya Nasty.

For Karl and Ian, tried asking this last time so here goes again. You two seem quite enamored with the M1 Garand; what specifically makes it such an excellent rifle in your opinions, and if the Johnson LMG inspired the AR platform what would a modern rifle inspired-by the Garand look-like in your minds?

Jacob Harvey

Karl - What firearms do you recommend for someone looking to get into cowboy firearms, also what companies produce the best reproductions?

Almeida

In video of my rifle at IDARM, i noticed my rifle spat out vast amounts of sand at one point but never had any issues. Have you ever experiened any issues or stoppages at a match due to enviroment?

Duke VonMeep the 2nd

Which do you gentlemen consider the better buy, the Hudson H9 or the CZ Sp01 Shadow 2? Love the show Von Meep Out

Provo

If the United States government wasn't so fixated on the 7.62x51, and magically it was never adopted. Which cartridge could have been? 7.92 cetme, .280 brit, 7.5 French, or something else? Love the channel, and have been watching since the beginning on full 30.

MichaelPee

Walther CCP. Are you still EDC-ing it? Why/why not? Now 2 yrs later, did the recall concern you? Overall impression.

Nick Rudd

This will get buried, but is there any central place to find where you post every new video? Facebook, youtube, full30, etc?

Michael Federico

Given your interest in Rifle Grenades have you ever hear of the RAW the US Army and Marines were looking at in the 60's to 70's? if so have you discovered any test footage of Data?

David Selby

There is a category on the Discord server labeled Latest Episode.

ic904

Given the accuracy something like the K31 rifles achieve, why is it you don't see more precision straight pull rifles in the U.S.A., and are there any governments using the action type in their issued sniper rifles?

ZeroSuitSamo

Other than division rules in competition shooting (heavy metal class in 3 gun for example), is there any reason to use anything other than 9mm for pistols? That goes for competition and defense.

Phillip André Frontéri

How did you co-witness your red dot on the Hudson H9. Have read some different variants to do this. So it seems that "co-witness" isnt the same for everybody. Keep up the great content you both are providing😀

Dayton Robbins

Can answer either question. In the what if lever gun series the 45-55 round, what was the method of the time to fill void of the reduced powder load to prevent pressure spike. The new 7.5 FK Brno is a very hot pistol round. 2000fps on a 95 grain bullet. Could you see the military adopting this round. With the flat trajectory of this round would it more more viable than 9mm. Have seen video where has penetrated 3A body armor what are your opinions. Keep up the great content. <a href="https://youtu.be/-nc-VGgg6Ec" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/-nc-VGgg6Ec</a>

MarvinCZ

Why isn't the ZH-29 style of front magazine catch used in more weapons? It seems like a simple upgrade for a rock-in magazine design.

justin cook

If optics are the future what would be your version of the ultimate sci-if optic

Robert B

Sorry for the multi-part question, but they all center around the G3 as a modern battle rifle. Considering the upgraded stock and handguards, on Ian's Spuhr G3, does that make the G3 a good choice for a modern day battle rifle? Or, considering what you guys learned about light weight rifles with the WWSD rifles, would an AR-10 be a better choice? What about in a suppressed battle rifle role, does the lack of a gas system in the G3 make it a better choice over the AR-10?

Alfie Banks

Thoughts on the Croatian VHS-2? Looks like a straight FAMAS clone but apparently has a different operating system.

Bourbon

I asked this last month: What are your Opinions on the G36/Mr243/SL8 plattform? I found it to be lightweigt, low recoil, ambidextourous, and accurate with decent sights outofthebox.

Brian Y

What are your thoughts on nickel boron and similar coatings used on bcg's, triggers, etc?

Carl

Can you to the best of your knowledge explain the history of the armsen OEG and similar operating sights? What is the common name for sights that operate on that principle? And what are some recommendations for popular models if I wanted to collect/try one?

Rick Sexton

What guns are you embarrassed to admit that you like?

Fox

Could 3d printing (metal or polymer) be used to easily make oddball obsolete cartridges cases such as 7.65mm French Longue,8mm lebel,8x56R etc, or make expensive ammo (50 bmg, 338 lapua magnum) cheaper?

Andrew MacDougall

two questions if I may. you can answer either or both: Karl said the 5.45 round is lower recoil than the 5.56, but bullet weight is heavier, so what gives? how is a heavier or similar weight bullet lower recoiling? what in the AK's design does this? is it just gun weight? you said in the last Q&A that a lever gun is not obsolete like a bolt gun is for combat. but do you not think that the single-loading through a kings-gate-type mechanism mitigates this enough to refute your argument? lever guns are fast until you have to reload, then they become tediously slow, slower even than bolt guns for sustained fire.

Johnny Osprey

Hey guys! What is the best piece of firearms advice you’ve ever received? Thanks for all the great content!

Eamon B

Repeat question: Do you use the hollow space in the GWACS lower's stock to keep cleaning/maintenence supplies, spare parts or spare batteries on hand?

Michael K Jones

Hi Karl, Ian I would like to know your thoughts on the AR10, I recently purchased one, my first "battle rifle" and find the ergonomics quite left-hand friendly after adding a ambidextrous charging handle and safety.

Matthew C.

Repeat: Can we see a WWSD mud test?

Jacob Schaffer

Why do we continue to see non-aperture iron sights on combat rifles after the P14? Is there a benefit that leaf sights offer that explains why they can still be found on some modern production rifles like the AK series?

Landric Hakon

What do you guys think about the rapid decline of the popularity of the 40 S&W? Was it’s popularity in the first place well deserved? Is it likely to see a resurgence? Thanks!

paul scothern

Did the browning get 10% of the end retail price or the price the manufacturer sold to the distributor?

Matt Mann

Karl, Ian- have either of you played with a Walther P99/PPQM1? I'm fond of mine, what with how ambidextrous they are.

Brian I

What are your thoughts on hanguards with integrated bipods as far as weight and utlility vs complexity and practicality?

Dean Daniel

New to Patrion and haven’t watched all of the Q&As so forgive me if this has been asked and answered. What is your take on the grip pod?

David cardoza

Did you ever get in touch with Franklin armory and if so when are we gonna see some reformation run and gun?

Connor Durbin

You guys talk about how the Garand is not a great choice, but a viable one in the event of a combat situation, but what about the M1a? Especially a modern interpretation like the socom 16?

Matt

Hey guys, so my question is a what if I have been curious of ever since I saw Ian shoot the Pederson rifle. My question is could that rifle have solved its extraction problem with a fluted chamber instead of the lubed ammo, and could that have made a difference in the trial and eventual adoption of the M1 rifle? Thanks for everything and keep up the great work!

MattC10/63

Karl you’ve stated that you’d take a modern lever gun in .357 MAG, why .357 MAG instead of other revolver calibers like .44MAG or .500 S&W? More accurate? Ammo accessibility? Better ballistics/range? Better sub-caliber? Etc. Just wondering if you used data to make that decision or just have a basement full of .357 MAG. laying around. Thank you Ian and Karl.

Peter Zachary English

I'm a complete sucker for pretty much anything chambered in .22lr, its cheap, and a perfect round for introducing my friends who never shot before to firearms. I already have a 10/22, a S&w 617, and a 22 conversion for my CZ 75. What other 22 caliber guns can you guys recommend?

threelock

In competition I see people, including myself, getting called out, in a friendly way, about doing stuff that inrangeTV advocates, how much influence do you think you are having on modern multi-gun competition?

StuG

Do binary triggers have any use in 2-gun?

david weilbaecher jr

in wwsd, a lot of emphasis was put on as lightweight as possible. with karl's alpha gun, he ended up with an unwieldy, heavy beast--then in hard as hell, karl slimmed down that rifle, though it is heavier the wwsd. what weight range do yall think is good for a practical use rifle? please discuss weight and balance as part of getting a rifle "just right" to make most goldilocks happy for good handling in diverse situations.

Reece

With your alternative history lever gun project, doesn’t the lack of training for the average Calvary troop on the frontier negate a lot of the advantages of the combined arms concept. In that the troopers can’t effectively employ it?

Matthew C.

What would be an ideal 50 state legal rifle? Since not everyone lives in the free state, and being in the military. Something I can always take with me in US. There is the lever action, specifically the Browning Lever Action (BLR) or scout rifle concepts from savage, Ruger, Mossberg, or Steyr. I think in this aspect, a bolt or lever would be the best option as they aren't considered "assault." Though, you could always just put furniture on a AR and put 10 rounders in it.

Gori the all powerful

Do either of you see any utility in the more modern versions of the m60?

William Taylor

Now that you have broken GWACS what would you substitute for the lower now that it’s going to be some time before they redo the molds. I was thinking a Brownells retro Lower with an A1 stock.

Mitch

For your WWSD builds, you were both limited 14.5 with a pinned flash hider for the shortest legal(non-sbr) barrel length you could go. If those legal limitations did not exist, would you have gone for a shorter barrel, making the gun lighter and more maneuverable?

Lipardi

For your WWKD: You mentioned in hard as hell 2 gun that the ammo selection is pretty crap. I would agree, quality 5.45 is pretty hard to get in the United States. However, have you considered looking into getting an AK in 5.56 as part of it's evolution? The action and system of the AK-74 platform is left untouched, but you get the advantage of quality ammo. Your thoughts on the system and evolution?

The_Ana

Have either of you, fine gentlemen, handled or fired a double stacked .45 acp 1911 styled firearm (such as "legendary" para-ordnance p-14), and what are your oppinion of them.

Glen G Walker

What strategies have you employed to mitigate extreme handguard temperatures when competing in the AZ sun?

Michael Batza

Which do you think would be better, adjustable (gas) bolt carriers (like the one made by bootleg) or adjustable gas blocks for the AR 15? and what are your thoughts on the proliferation of adjustable gas settings on more and more guns. Thanks, love the videos!

Jon Corey

In your lever gun series, you have repeatedly talked about how limited ammunition for training and fighting impacted usage and arms selection. How did arms deployment vary across the army posts? What about navy/marine arms?

Andrew Drust

Karl- Have you determined the cause of the malfunctions you had with your H9 at Hard as Hell 2 Gun?

Daniel

Any news on doing Tiger Valley again?

Nick Holden

Karl and Ian, second time asking for both of your opinions about the current and future role of .308 Win/ 7.62x51mm NATO( with the modern AR-10's M110/L129A1 and FN SCAR). What is your ideal purpose for this cartridge in modern shoulder fired weapons? Is 6.5mm Creedmoor going to eat its lunch? (barrel erosion issues aside) I remember Karl stating that he had no .308 Win weapons. Why? Perhaps this topic might be better for a future video discussion. Thanks

Nick Holden

Just read about the single sentence... Where is .308 Win/7.62x51mm NATO going in modern tactical / military applications?

Mike

At what point does a rifle stop being practical and become a "gamer gun"?

Ian Heuer

I believe you touched on this topic in one of the wwsd videos, about how giving the standard issue infantry magnified optics it steps up the standard for a "designated marksman". So taking that into account what is your opinion on the Marine corps adaptation of the m38 rifle?

SpaceCowboyfromNJ

In today's world, do you think that videos of action shooting sports (2 gun, 3 gun, IDPA, SASS, etc...) are probably most effective tools for getting new people interested in firearms?

Andrew N

How tall are both of you?

Michael

Would you consider making a “what would (Jeff) Cooper do” project in which you create practical lever or bolt action rifle that can be used for hunting, protection from from large animals, and other humans. I am interested to see far you guys deviate from Jeff Cooper’s original concept. I also think it would be useful for people who live in ban states

When I shoot handgun I spend 90% of my time shooting revolvers even though my carry gun is a CZ P10C. I just plain enjoy revolvers more. I shoot the CZ very well and have zero problems concealing it but am considering carrying a J frame. To be honest I can shoot the CZ faster with greater accuracy. Maybe I just answered my own question. Am I crazy?

You often mention that we have reached a plateau in fire arms development that will only be overcome by a radical new development, and often mention caseless ammo as one such possibility. Is there anything stopping a modernized version of the volcanic cartridge from being developed using a long hollow spitzer style bullet and modern powders to ameloriate the anemic loadings in the past?

In watching the Mauser vs. 7.35 Carcano showdown, I ran into the term "Barney Loading" for the first time. I figured out from context that it means to have one in the chamber on top of a full magazine 'cause I'm smart like that. But where the hell did the term come from? Does topping off date to televised dinosaurs?

Barney Fife, the deputy from the "Andy Griffith Show", was only allowed to carry one round, in his pocket, to be loaded as needed.
