As a farmer, I spend a LOT of time lubricating things, and have developed something of an obsession with lubricants. There absolutely no reason to use firearm specific lubricant over others, and while I would consider wheel bearing grease to be far heavier than ideal, I consider grease to be extremely underutilized in the firearms world.
@@TheEchelon1619 Pretty much any grease will last plenty long in a firearm. While we tend to think of firearms as being a hot environment, they're nothing compared to many other jobs that grease is called upon to preform.
Even worse, I recognized the logo on the hat immediately, and listened to him talk about the Alien franchise, but STILL didn't get that the thing coming out of his shirt was a baby xenomorph until about the 44:00 point.
As far as I know, the M1 Garand lingered in national guard service into the 70s, and was used by the Greeks until about 1980. The Haitians used it as their main battle rifle until their military was disbanded in 1994, and currently as a police weapon in limited numbers.
Karl, in respect to the question at 7:18. When installed, the buffer and bolt function as one. Therefore installing a low mass carrier with a heavier buffer is counter productive. Recoil mitigation is really a balancing act with many contributing factors. Unfortunately there really isn’t a simple one-size fits all answer.
Regarding VR - The Army’s EST2000 system is actually a very effective simulator system for training. Each weapon system is rigged to a CO2 system to cycle the bolt and actuate the shot sensor system. You can program a scenario for entire squad’s worth of weapons at once and there’s even mock-ups for HMMWVs to simulate a gun truck crew on convoy, where they can communicate over headsets.
You didn't ask for the fight against content suppression, but you're one of the channels at the vanguard fighting against it. Keep on keeping on, Karl and Ian!
5:05 a wild xenomorph is seen lurking in the background Regarding the simulators question, people have used DCS' modules for certain aircraft to learn them, and then used the actual physical simulators for those aircraft, and passed qualification tests on them successfully.
Ballistol is my go-to for un-cacking any sort of greased up old BS I end up with. Throw said item in a plastic bag, hold the can over the bag, spray until your heart says stop, and let the stuff sit for a day. Glad you touched on 6.5. I just got some new sights for a Ruger Hawkeye in 6.5, very excited to put that rifle through its paces. Also, you make a good point about the Mini. They're not the best, but they're adequate (though I'd argue to buy them used--for the money they go for new, you can get a BCM or FN AR-15 that will be a significantly better investment)
there's one modern practical application of shotgun that everyone seems to gloss over, even if not the shotgun it self but the skill of shooting something small out of the sky and that's shooting down small Drone's and multirotors. I'm sure there's a bunch of smart people designing fancy counter drone systems for the next drone war but at some point people are going to need to put bullets in drones quickly and shotgun and clay shooting might not be a bad skill to have.
David Fincher still hates Alien 3; that's why he insisted the extended cut be called the "Assembly Cut" instead of the normal "Director's Cut," because the version he wanted was never filmed and doesn't exist. It's a really fascinating case of studio interference screwing up a movie.
Ken Hackathon had a good point in Ian's video that the expectations of the time when the M1 carbine was in use were different than today. These days we are spoiled by guns that have been through so much development that they're as close to perfect as is possible which was not the case for the carbine. The AR15 has been around now longer than semi-autos in general had been in practical use and people just knew that sometimes they malfunctioned. Or if they didn't know that it's because they didn't have to use them much. A gun you never shoot will be 100% reliable.
Gonna guess the simulator you're talking about is DCS which is AWESOME but also I think that it bears saying that part of DCS's lineage is that the A-10C module for it grew out of an actual training tool developed for the US Air National Guard. Flight simulators are a thing the military has used for training pilots for several decades, and for civilian pilots the FAA already will accept simulator time (on an FAA approved simulator with FAA approved instructors monitoring) toward some of your flight hours requirement for getting your pilot certificate. Virtual simulator training for aviation as a useful and widely utilized tool is already our reality.
Personally, I think 7mm Mauser is tragically overlooked for major military powers. Despite Mauser himself pushing it, its huge influence on major powers faced with it, and its excellent performance with minor powers such as Spain and Latin American states, no big power ever actually adopted it outright. It was notably lighter than the 8mm Mauser and others, meaning an immediate benefit for logistical, economic, and handling purposes. It didn't suffer significant performance loss at long range from machineguns, the primary complaint with the Japanese and Italian 6.5mm bullets. In short, the 7mm was an excellent compromise between the overpowered ammunition of nations like Germany and France, while not suffering from being too light like Japan and Italy. That is definitely overlooked in my opinion.
Running a dust/mud test on a PKM/MG3/other belt-fed machine gun might not be the fools errand you describe it to be. A common way to safely carry a machine gun is bolt forward, belt in (w/ potential dust covers closed/open based on the negligence of the user). A test in this configuration could be interesting as it would demonstrate how tightly sealed the action is.
I like the outfit, especially the hat. I feel like it's... growing on you. Or out of you. Goes well with the sunglasses. I am freezing over here, though.
Ken Hackathorn did NOT say the m1 Carbine is reliable, he said the opposite: that it was well loved DESPITE its minor unreliability, and that the unreliability was simply a worthwhile tradeoff to have this incredibly light and handy carbine.
Indeed. There is also the fact that if I was a truck driver and knew I was going to get ambushed somewhere along the line and could only pick between a 1911 or an M1 carbine to fight my way out with, I'm taking the M1 all day every day. And if I'm a truck driver that thinks he probably wont get ambushed anytime but had to carry around either a Garand or a carbine, I'm choosing the carbine all day every day.
@@SlavicCelery "reliable enough" is the key phrase here: he said that if you replace the springs, use good magazines and lubricate it properly "the reliability goes up, but having said that, we accepted a level of reliability that was a different standard than what we have today." And then he goes on to describe that stoppages (failures to feed usually) were just something you had to deal with.
So from memory, he said that a) with the right magazines and properly lubricated it was adequately reliable and b) it was reliable for the time, reliability expectations have since changed and are now way tighter
Nice to hear someone else sticking up for the directors cut of Alien 3. While not perfect, it does a lot to explain character motivations that were baffling in the theatrical release.
Hey Karl, a question for you and/or Ian inspired by one of the early Q&A's: if you were dropped back into the 1890s-1910s, with the design package and some startup capital, what weapon would you choose to create and market, with the caveat that you are restricted to the manufacturing technology of the period (i.e. if you want carbon fibre, modern optics, CnC machining etc. you have to start from scratch).
PKM made out of a milled receiver or heavy riveted sheet metal and a simple submachine gun made out of off the shelf pipe and bar stock parts like a Sten gun instead of milled like a Tommy or Suomi
@@judaspreest0 I bet you could make a browning 1919 in 1909 if you had the technical data package. 10 year head start on Browning, and lock up those sweet, sweet browning patents? or a Mauser 98 in 1890? Lock up those sweet, sweet Mauser Patents. Heck, the Luger Cartridge is around, let's see about making a Browning Hi-Power and getting that into U.S. Trials ahead of the browning 1911! Or cut into that sweet Machine Gun market by inventing the Vickers Gun in 1890 instead of 1896. Basically look at everything Browning/Luger did and get about 10 years ahead of them.
It should be no problem making a milled receiver AK by 1890. You could make an all steel and wood AR but it would be pretty heavy and that lower receiver would probably be quite expensive. So I'm going with a milled AK. Also Browning Hi Powers would be doable. M2 machine gun should be no problem. Open bolt sub guns would be a breeze so pick your favorite. Maybe an Owen since Ian liked it so much.
interior corrosion of magazines, was a problems with the 30 rd. mag. we used to wax the inside of the mag. Not as bad with the 15 rd. carbine shooter NIB from DCM when I was 16 yrs old in 1958. try that today. thanks Carl.
The problem with using a Silencerco Maxim 9 in 2-gun is the shots not being picked up by the timers. I would love to be able to use silencers in matches, but that's a no-go.
The VR question is interesting in that you pretty much described the EST-2000 in service in the army. The South Koreans took it further with a product I saw at AUSA, but not quite as good as I’d hoped. It helps with weapons manipulation, but still doesn’t replace range time and field time for military units
With regards to firearms lubricants, think about it: If automotive "motor-oil" is good enough for the high-load and high-heat environment of an internal combustion engine, then how is it inadequate for your firearm? What exactly is better about "gun-oil" that justifies the significantly higher price? The same can be said for grease. Firearm lube isn't really that complicated, but it is foolish to spend $10 for a measly 4-ounces of "gun-oil" when that same $10 will buy 5-quarts(160oz.) of good motor oil.
I would really like to know what InRange thinks about the Sphur interface system vs mlock and keymod and if there is any particular benefit to it? Sweden seem to have decided to go with the sphur interface system, which is an odd choice if it doesn't outperform the alternatives.
The thing with polymer cased ammo: People try to get plastic from getting into the sea (and the envirement in general) There are places that ban plastic bags ect. Firing ammo with plastic casing is exactely the opposit. Yes you can collect all the spent casings afterwards, but i doubt most people do that, and then recycle it properly. Also i doubt that those casings stay intact when shooting, so small plastic will get into the envirement. Brass on the other hand is metal that causes no harm.
Alien cubed is a personal favourite, Fincher got dicked by the producers, had no script to start with and did as best he could. Would love to see the Gibson script for it come to fruition, but i can only hope.
First, I thought it was an ushanka. Then I realized the teeth, and thought it was a ushanka with teeth. Took me forever to realize it was a Chestbuster! xD
The reason there are so many unreliable M1 carbines out there is because a lot of them were assembled from parts by people that don't know what they're doing. It's very difficult to line everything up correctly, you can't just use witness marks. Get yourself an original one, that is, one that's been factory or arsenal assembled. I've had three originals, all ran great, and were built by Inland or Winchester and not torn apart since.
100% agree with your opinions on Alien franchise. Really bummed with where Ridley Scott has taken Alien recently, and doubled bummed Director Neill Blomkamp won't get his shot at the franchise. Did you like District 9? Alien 4 could have been cool but had some really weird artistic direction. However, some ideas from Alien 4 , such as the crew of smugglers working for a giant superpower, turned into the much beloved tv-series Firefly, and movie, Serenity, as Joss Whedon wrote Alien 4's script and created Firefly, and later directed The Avengers.
It's funny to me that basic techniques on how to use a piece of cover in paintball - how close behind it should you be, changing sides, going around the sides instead of over the top, varying stances to pop out at different heights, posting up on someone when they duck behind cover to reload, staying tight to cover, etc., doesn't seem to be taught in the military.
i think Air-soft can help with gun manipulation. you can get rifles and pistols with all of the same manual of arms as their real firearm counterpart. i saw a video from another youtuber that showed a Japanese Air-soft expert that had never fired real guns shooting like a pro for his first time. i would of course recommend buying and practicing with real guns though.
While that sounds possible, i would suspect that if the chamber gets hot enough so that a normal round would cook off, the polymer round will stick and/or melt.
I have an auto ordnance repro m1 carbine and it has been 100% reliable with wolf ammo. Even with magdumps to the point it was hot to hold through the wood.
It's interesting about the polymer case ammo making the weapon heat up faster, with the new round for the army being polymer cased for a squad automatic weapon.
It doesn't. I'm surprised Karl's under a rock for this but polymer runs cooler because the heat sink rationale is garbage. Metal cases don't carry enough heat out to matter and polymer has been shown to insulate the chamber instead, so its hot inside but the outside of the case is cool. This is part of the reason why they're ordering runs of polymer cased .50 BMG and why two NGSW contestants are using them.
Regarding borrowing guns for videos, I know Ian has a Curio and Relic FFL. Has that ever made it easier by getting it mailed directly for firearms that qualify?
Modern revolvers have a firing pin block as well, combined with the 8-12 pound trigger makes it drop safe. So it has safety mechanisms but they're passive like on the glock/cz/sig/m&p pistols.

The gas then travels down the barrel one inch, and deposits all of its heat there since the case won't accept it.

It's funny to me that basic techniques on how to use a piece of cover in paintball - how close behind it should you be, changing sides, going around the sides instead of over the top, varying stances to pop out at different heights, posting up on someone when they duck behind cover to reload, staying tight to cover, etc., doesn't seem to be taught in the military.
Because cover in paintball is merely concealment in combat.
I could have sworn I saw an inrange video testing polymer case .308 in a G3, and it blowing out the floorplate somehow
That was TFB TV
My favorite movie gun was Judge Dredd’s handgun. From the 90s movie, I still haven’t seen the remake.
The new movie is awesome, definitely watch it, Karl Urban is an awesome choice to play Dredd. Brutal movie.
i think Air-soft can help with gun manipulation. you can get rifles and pistols with all of the same manual of arms as their real firearm counterpart. i saw a video from another youtuber that showed a Japanese Air-soft expert that had never fired real guns shooting like a pro for his first time. i would of course recommend buying and practicing with real guns though.
Being mad at someone for mud testing a garand is like being made at someone for soortsrising a mosin
Don't you dare sort my Mosin. Don't soot it either.
Polymer cases being (presumably)heat-insulating could also mean that the chamber needs to be a lot hotter to be able to cause a cook-off.
While that sounds possible, i would suspect that if the chamber gets hot enough so that a normal round would cook off, the polymer round will stick and/or melt.
@@nirfz A good thermoset plastic wont melt but could burn or crack at those temps.
I have an auto ordnance repro m1 carbine and it has been 100% reliable with wolf ammo. Even with magdumps to the point it was hot to hold through the wood.
It's interesting about the polymer case ammo making the weapon heat up faster, with the new round for the army being polymer cased for a squad automatic weapon.
It doesn't. I'm surprised Karl's under a rock for this but polymer runs cooler because the heat sink rationale is garbage. Metal cases don't carry enough heat out to matter and polymer has been shown to insulate the chamber instead, so its hot inside but the outside of the case is cool. This is part of the reason why they're ordering runs of polymer cased .50 BMG and why two NGSW contestants are using them.
My guns don't have a dip stick. Maybe that's why there are always empty.
Please mud test Carcano rifle and Lee Enfield!!!
They do have a Lee enfield test done.
Regarding borrowing guns for videos, I know Ian has a Curio and Relic FFL. Has that ever made it easier by getting it mailed directly for firearms that qualify?
Weyland Yutani hat and chestburster
Don't most revolvers lack a proper safety and just have heavy triggers?
Modern revolvers have a firing pin block as well, combined with the 8-12 pound trigger makes it drop safe. So it has safety mechanisms but they're passive like on the glock/cz/sig/m&p pistols.
Some .380 pocket pistols are like that too.
@@Broken_Yugo Glock 42 and kahr comes to mind.
It's not just a heavy trigger, it's also quite a long pull.
Good questions. Good answers. Nicely done.
😱Ian must be gestating in a plush cocoon somewhere. Happy 🎃!
Isn't putting a low weight carrier, while adding a heavier buffer weight, a wash?
From an InfoSec point of view, what recommendations do you have for dealing with Discord? Discord seems to want to know everything and keep track of everything about you and your system.
Nothing is stopping InRange from setting up an IRC server.
IDK why that cat looked so large XD
I feel crappy... I don't shoot competitively, at all actually, despite having my own guns...
He's right about Alien3
I'm going to have to rewatch it. I don't think I ever saw the full directors cut, just saw it in a theater and didn't care for it at all.
I think the 1911 question was about the tilting barrel system.
Pulse rifle mud-test next?
11/10 for costume I instantly started googling where to get a Weyland corp hat.
Lookin like Danny from Taofledermaus haha. I jest. Excellent work as always.
It's too bad someone wasn't puppeting the chestburster while Karl was going through the questions completely ignoring it.
Is your UH-1 simulator DCS: world?
Yep
4 different hues of black on one title card
12 out of 10
Worth the wait.
Not necessarily a complaint, just something I think I'm noticing. Is the camera constantly re-auto focusing?
Link for the finish plate carrier?
if you lose the weyland logo and the alien on your way to costume party, don't worry you can still pass as Fidel Castro :þ
Karl should not have signed that contract with Weyland-Yuitani. It is well known that The Company does not care about it's employee's stomach aches.
Why didn't I get notified until now? Methinks UA-cam is playing around again.
I would love to try Finnish Brutality but dunno how I would get firearms from here to there.
Why not attend Desert Brutality instead?
@@InrangeTv definitely a possibly. I should have a week of vacation time by then. And I might make it an excuse to look at property and jobs out that way to get out of pa
Great to see you
