I would listen to you talk about (in anger) for 5 hours about the VA. Please hold them accountable, you have the platform
At least it's not the Canadian VA
The shit that the Canadian VA is pulling with coercing vets into euthanasia who are mentally incapable of properly agreeing to something of such a magnitude is absolutely sickening. @@Saanonymous80
They just offer you assistance to die. What an unbelievable disgrace.
The VA murdered my father. 2 tours in Vietnam, 27 years LEO. Not to mention the emotional toll on my family.
@@snafu4405the VA (and our leadership) treats our vets terrible. They used Agent Org in Vietnam knowing that it was toxic, yet 50 years later the US government still is fighting against vets for proper treatment. My dad is one of them.
Garand:"8.6 through 3 blocks, please stop."
The 8.6 round :"How bout nooo" 😂
8.6mm Blackout is like a honey badger that don't care, on steroids.
I love it! I bet it would probably work decently on 2A infringers.

Bullets talk?
This is actually a bad thing. No expansion means 5.56 will do more damage to a human
@@Nurse_Xochitllolberts wanting to arm the enemy. What a doormat ideology
After seeing the RIDICULOUS penetration from that crazy fast twist, I really want to see this put through a battery of tests for barrier penetration. I'm talking sheet metal, windshields, solid wood door, plywood, exterior walls, even concrete block. Hell, toss in level 3a and level 3 body armor to the mix too. That would really drive home and give a great understanding of the real world penetration capabilities of this fascinating newer round.
I absolutely agree with this, I would love to see that test. I mean in all honesty, when in an urban scenario, you will be penetrating wood, concrete, cinderblock filled and empty, car doors, windows, windshields, armored glass, plate carriers, and drywall. I think this is a brilliant urban sniper, especially if it has massive penetration power! I’m sure once you break certain substances the round will be slowed and slightly pancaked making it a more damaging round after barrier break.
@chrisviviano3271 For sure. I think the applications in an urban setting for this round would be near limitless. I'm dying to see it tested lol.
Add to that how it penetrates ballistic helmets, thick metal, and vehicles. I suspect this cartridge will be proven in combat on the streets of Amerika during the coming civil war.
@@taraswertelecki3786my god man whts the matter with u 😅😅😅
It won't be a factor. The time til' full breakdown is just too short. It's not even in the hands of 1% of all US shooters.
Cutting the weight of an big game rifle down that much is incredible. Imagine how much nicer a hunt will be without a dinosaur on your back.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how amazing the sound design was for the "Clever girl." scene from jurassic park, and how satisfying the sounds from loading the shots into the SPAS-12, to unfurling the stock was? That scene sticks out to me from every movie i've ever watched when it comes to satisfying and well thought out sound design. And kudos to you for refreshing that scene in my head.
Awesome introduction, as always! 😄 Not only is your content educational, but it is entertaining as well, keeping your audience engaged at all times. Keep up the great work guys!
The VA has screwed so many over. Thanks for shining more light on the situation.
I did a 10 week pharmacy rotation at a VA while in college. Interesting place. And listening to some of the struggles now with trying to get care.😢
My Father was DAV from Viet Nam and the state of the local VA hospital was awful. The first time I went in there I was stunned.
I’m gonna sound stupid, but what does VA mean in this context?
@@Servoxylveterans administration
Sadly, it is run as well as most government programs.
That is ridiculous. I’ve never seen a round have this much penetrative power in ballistics gel . It cuts through like genuine butter. Amazing.

I'm rooting so hard for 8.6 blackout. We need this cartridge, but I don't want to invest in a rifle until it's SAAMI spec'd and I know it'll be around for a while.
Just get a reloading station… 6.5 CM casing is not too hard to come by…

The sound from that suppressed 8.6 round actually sounds like the made up suppressed sound they use in movies and games. Just a POP... impressive.
I wonder how much of the signature is just from the primer pop. It's not nothing, we knew that as far back as WW2 when they were developing the DeLisle carbine.... Which, when you think about it, this comes close to being an updated version of.
Accuracy international makes rifles as quiet as these for many years.
@@vinkniv those things cost you as much as a car);
@@propanetankhank9588 I didnt know that. My friend was in Dutch special forces and told me they had an AW covert integrally suppressed sniper and it was whisper quiet. That was roughly 10 years ago.
@@vinknivOh so Arctic Warfare is a kind of product line from Accuracy International or am i messing up nomenclature?
I've never seen a round FLY through THREE ballistic gel blocks the way this did. That's beyond anything we see on a regular basis, and I can't wait to watch how popular this round becomes
It clearly has ass behind it. But ammo companies need to figure out how to get it to dump its energy. Right now for big game it’s fine especially for a subsonic. I’m confident discreet ballistics, as well as others, will find the sweet spot.
Right ? I bust out laughing, when it went through the 3rd one lmao.

Agree.
Anyone medically discharged should receive full pay and benefits tax free for life.
I used them. It’s better to pay $2k and get 100% than to have DAV take $10k out of my backpay.
Same with Wounded Warrior and all the other veterans assistance programs. VA should handle it all without a problem to the vetrans and no need for other charities. So much wrong with how we do things through government.

@@paintballplayer700idk about this because I'm no gunsmith, but in my opinion it's not a good way to prove that since this is a very new round still in development

Awesome shoot 8.6 great video thanks Mike and Micah
my last job was upgrading the VAs network switches, and it really opened my eyes to how horrible the system is for Veterans. I, as a 21 year old loser was making more off the VA as a contractor than employees that had been there for decades. All that in addition to the "facilities" that were at least 20 years behind on average. absolutely despicable how little they actually care.
If you think about it, it's actually the perfect real world application of fully government run healthcare
@@jh5131What do you mean by fully run? Because living in a country with a socialized healthcare, it's not like that at all (Japan), although private hospitals do exist (and you can use the national health insurance system with them anyway).
@@Keepone974 That is your government, and your culture. Japan still believes in things like dedication to one's work and integrity. Perhaps to a fault in some cases.
The USA is nothing like Japan, and nothing like the USA anymore unfortunately.
Also, politicians and people make it seem like we lack socialized healthcare in the US. We don't.
My father applied for state health insurance for the first time when he had a cancer diagnosis, and it changed my opinion on socialized medicine.
However, that's one experience. I know people from Canada with both good/bad stories of social medical.
@@jh5131 Facts, and that's a terrifying thought. I don't think I've known anyone with good things to say about VA healthcare. It actually seems like active-duty gets a totally different level of care. I dated a girl in the military and she had "Tri-Care" insurance I think? It seemed pretty good, but we also lived just outside of many major military/govt installations.
@@drownthepoorhealth care up here has been pretty great for me anecdotally.
I suppose it could be bad if your family doctor is dog shit, it’s not the easiest to switch I believe
I am surprised you didn’t shoot an armor plate with it. That’s the biggest test we need to see now 👍🏻
more vids on this i guess

Kept that for demoranch 😂
It’ll get banned asap
@@rockon772 probably, but he’d post insta reels later in the week and we’d have all the answers we need. (I’d prefer a 30 minute video though 😂)
Always appreciate garand due to his no nonsense nature and saying what others are scared to but what everyone wants to hear. How good does a round stop people, yes. . .
I would really like to see this compared to the .458 Socom for hunting. The 8.6 has the penetration but the Socom has the energy.
Never heard of Ree but I want to just say I appreciate what they're doing. My grandpa was drafted into the Navy in Vietnam and has fought with the VA tirelessly for benefits. Appreciate you guys.
My uncle was drafted into the army for Vietnam, later died of complications likely caused by agent orange exposure. The VA was less than useless. And of course they never would admit that AO had anything to do with it. F the VA.
My son is an RN at the local VA. He also is a Vet himself. Even he has problems getting appointments and cooperation. (You would think he would have some inside pull) The major problems are: 1-Manditory Paperwork, 2-No sense of urgency, 3-Dealing with secure seated civilian staff members who don't care. 4- Heavy layers of Federal Bureaucracy.
It is even worse when you get drafted and they don't pay up. Like, hello, I literally did not sign up for this crap.
I just got a call from the VA last Saturday. They didn't leave a voice mail...on a Saturday. Want to bet my record says "tried to contact, patient never returned call."?
They are masters at dodging phones. I've called an office I was sitting in waiting for a "walk-ins welcome" appointment and watched them not answer it.
@@guitarsaremyfriendzzz7077 Some say one of the modern schemes in the Biden admin to cover up political crimes is to start a war and then draft mass Americans into a war that can't be won, which would guarantee mass Americans who know too much will perish.
Almost didn't even look like the round would stop in the ballistic gel no matter how many blocks you set up. Looked like it was a rocket propelled drill, and zoomed out the other side like it was having a lovely, lovely day. One of the coolest ballistic gel tests I've seen for a round.
I'd like to see it hit plates or a sheet of plywood or something else hard b4 the gel and see what happens.
Good gun stuff right here, also REE got me my 100% this past June after about two years of battling the VA.
What a fun educational video, thanks bois. Stay free, keep training, become ungovernable.
Cool! The 8.6 is pretty slick. I'm glad to see more people doing videos on it.
Bro you did not read it that fast it 21 min long
Needs that dopamine hit that comes from a potential notice by senpai
That's how marketing works.
I was a little surprised. It seemed like it would be low speed easy, but hot damn that energy was nasty!
@TheDoorspook11c ballistic gel makes anything look crazy in slow motion.
8.6 subs are about 700 foot pounds and 300 blackout subs are about 600 foot pounds with 220 grain projectiles so it's really only a 100 foot pound increase but you also trade that for mag capacity.
GT: “it’s the quietest combination I’ve ever heard.”
.22LR 20” barrel, with 12” can: “am I a joke to you?”
What is all that mean
@@pariswashington5543if you know you know. Look up subsonic 22lr long-range with suppressors.
@@pariswashington5543 it's in freedom units, heres the conversion:
0.22 inch diameter round fired from a 20 inch barrel gun with an additional 12 inches of suppressor.
i think they shot this in the episode where they tried to answer "up to what distance is the 0.22 inch caliber deadly"
@@pariswashington5543it means that the 8.6 doesn’t have shit on a 22 suppressed setup. As far as center fire it may be the king but as far as throwing something with minimal sound to beat the 22 you would need a slingshot and ball bearings and even then the 22 might be quieter.
"I've ever heard" he said. He was in the military before modern ear pro. If I'm not mistaken during the time branch was implementing field ear pro which didn't work (and so nobody used it) and kept everyone in the dark for a decade kekw
It’s a beast! Very impressive
I really want one of these! The 300 BKO had the same overpenetration issues when it came out, as most bullets are designed to penetrate and expand properly at fast supersonic velocities. A few years ago we were shooting 6.5 Creedmoor at muzzle velocities of around 3000 fps. At 100-200 yards they were penetrating and expanding to about 16-18 inches in ballistic gelatin. At 1000+ yards, they were not expanding and penetrating more than 36 inches.
With the 300 BKO, it performed much better at closer ranges once bullets were developed that were designed to penetrate and expand at subsonic velocities. So this round will be better once those bullets become available to perform at subsonic.
When Jim Rock was alive, he developed a single shot 30 caliber projectile in a 32 H&R brass as a toy for the teams for anti-sniper. You heard the trigger click, and then down range impact and steel, silhouette flip over. I ended up buying two of Jim Rock’s single shots in wildcat calibers. I’m sorry he has gone to the great gunsmith shop in the sky.
what is an "anti-sniper"? anything like a "counter sniper"?
More effort goes into making these videos than my entire life. And we thank you
Your entire life has lead up to that epic comment.
You put more effort into one second of your life than I've put into twenty years of mine.
Forgotten weapons did it first lol
I agree 😂
So are you saying, you're a low achiever?
Drooled on my phone a couple times watching this holy shit that thing is insane!
I actually saw someone testing it in Africa and it was able to take down a cape Buffalo with 1 shot. So I'm very excited to see more from this caliber
.338 BLK would be a cooler name and match .300BLK stablished nomenclature, since nobody calls it the 7.62x35
Nah, bro. We need to keep bullets as confusing as possible.
Gotta make the nerds who know this shit feel good about themselves.
Whoa there, partner, we can't go disturbing the Fudds and Ludds by having sensible ideas, now can we? ;)
8.6mm has a more menacing sound to it. I know it's the same measurement but for some reason I feel like it better emphasizes the bigness of the round.
Maybe because people are used to considering 7.62 a "big" bullet so a bullet bigger feels scarier.
I’m pretty sure KB did it this way specifically to annoy people
I can't get over Mike's face when Micah went full Charlie with the signature reduction explanation!!😂😂
You can tell he's thinking about the edit at this point. He knows he has to maintain a straight face for at least a few seconds before he breaks. 😆
Jeez that rifle is incredible, just that whole setup from the optic to the round... Envy!
what rifle is it?
@@SamI-jk5vt Q Fix if you havent found the answer yet
Hey I know I'm a bit late to this, but that's a pretty freaking wildly good impression. I knew exactly who you were playing right when you first spoke.
I am impressed at how rounds and guns themselves are getting quieter and quieter as time goes on. Fascinating stuff
the limiting factor is they have to keep the round subsonic
It's the expensive Can & sub-sonic loads.
@@tomtemple69quiet supersonic is very doable but requires an extremely long and slender projectile. There are supersonic aircraft that have almost no sonic boom at all. Incredible.
@echo2-2 aslong they had made MP5ad Super Silenced
using 9mm sub sonic ammo.. a ball pen clicking was louder then MP5ad
and the silenced ammo hat a realy thin rubber layer on the brass so the
empty dident say ding ding when hitting stones on ground ... now that is quiet
nothing new at all ... the crack you hear is the sonic boom from the bullit leawin the silencer
nothing new about that again..
@@tomtemple69 Not necessarily. In theory if your projectile is thin enough the sonic boom should be very quiet.
The 8.6 has been my most thought about round since I heard about it, I expect a lot of cool things in the future based on this tech.
I don't know if there is much tech to it. It's a 6.5 creedmoor case necked up to 338 with a fast twist barrel. That it.
@@thelittledetailscr7231 if it’s so simple why didn’t you think of it first then 😂
Oh wait it probably took a team of people weeks or months to find the Goldilocks combo of existing rounds and rifling. Either through data crunching or extensive range testing, and then manufacturing the rifles and rounds for further testing, and clearly they’re still refining it.
It’s not as simple as “stuff a 338 in a 6.5 that shit will be bonkers!!”
@@mercury4510 I'm a psychologist, so it is not my job to create new rounds. Plus I'm in California, so there is no use in creating subs as we can't have suppressors.
What data is there to crunch? Fast burning powder like 300bo uses, neck up the case...only thing left is to see what twist works best.
@@mercury4510 Since you’re such an expert, I guess you came up with 8.6.
Everything seems simple after it's been invented
Truly Badass Round. Well Done Q
everyone i've seen that shoots this gun is blown away by it. i can't wait to get my hands on one.
Am I the only person that is noticing that Garand Thumb has tons more tats every video? Went from none to 2 sleeves pretty quickly
he was on instagram live a couple days ago getting one lol
Previous "job" probably didn't allow it.
Steroids too
There’s a tattoo artist in Idaho who’s been very busy.
He’s been hanging around post Malone too much
Honestly VERY curious to see how this new round evolves into the AR platform. I’m a HUGE 300BLK fan. This intrigues me greatly
Faxon makes AR10 barrels, the rest of the parts are normal AR10/15 parts
Gorilla n faxon have been pumping full builds do almost8 months
See also: Q Boombox
I truly think these would be badass on AK platform
im shocked, the spin is mind boggling
SIGNATURE REDUCTION explanation was on point. He would make a good high school teacher.
I believe the extra rotation along with the bullet shape is helping it cut through the gel blocks as the bullet moves forward - leading to less loss of forward momentum on the bullet.
I was thinking the same thing. Like the difference between a drill bit and a nail going through a 2 x4. It's like it's screwing and chewing through rather than pushing.
I took two hogs with my 8.6 BLK. Both passed straight through with a 225 CX bullet and a muzzle velocity of 1,800fps. Also, do not shoot traditional cup and core lead projectiles. I destroyed two suppressors experimenting with different bullets.
Thanks for the heads up on that veterans assistance. My buddy is currently in the backlog with the VA. They dragging their feet get his paperwork through so he can get his percentage and finally get his benefits. Hopefully they can help him

The 8.6 Blackout literally drills through those blocks!
I just paused it, at " Cleaver Ron Jeremy"! So, Gold, I'm in tears !
300 and 8.6 blackout are straight up assassin rounds. quiet and precise in their range
I mean, .300 was made for the seals, so you aren’t wrong
Precise in their range applies to every round. 300 blackout started as a subsonic hunting cartridge. Considering nost assassinations performed with a firearm are performed at close quarters with non suppressed guns, the whole statement just seems a little poorly thought out.
When we went "downrange" and I heard the first round, I thought that's quite loud. Then I heard him loading the next round and the noise was about the same as the shot. Insane.

I built an AR10/308 platform chambered in the 8.6 and it's pretty quiet without a can/suppressor. My Springfield Saint Victor 223 is obnoxiously loud compared to my 8.6 build.✌🏼💜🙏🏼
You should do a comparison between the 8.6 with its crazy spin and a 338 win mag shooting 285g maker bullets (11.4g of tb) out of a 1:10 twist.
Very accurate with some incredible pass through on hard targets. Soft targets the bullets open up.
Would be an interesting "shoot out"
The 338 cost half of what the can did, not the other way around.

Good to see Ree Medical on your show. I hired them a few months ago and am in the middle of the process.
If you surrender to the wind, you can ride it.
Great video
So sad REE Medical has to exist, and so grateful they do.
Those 8.6 hollowpoints are likely moving too slow to get expansion and are supercavitating decreasing drag and resistance through the gel.
They weren't using traditional lead/copper hollow points. The 8.6 only comes in solid monolithic projectiles due to the extreme twist rates. So all that is available is copper fragmenting subsonic. And they don't really work as advertised. I bought a bunch from gorilla in 300 blk and none of them fragmented in gel. That's why it is getting so much penetration. A 223 would penetrate with a similar projectile at that range.
@@jacktheaviator4938ummm what are you talking about, looks like a hollow point to me 1:20
@@jacktheaviator4938wait, what? Didn't he literally show us a hollow point with cuts on the side to ENSURE expansion, plus a huge cavity at the front? I still can't understand how the fmj sucked but the hollow point penetrated like that
@@PedroHenrique-xm1ytexactly
They arent lead core. Solid copper made to expand at 1000fps. If you shot these are 2000 or 3000 fps they would prob just fly apart in the air bc they are made to expand so easily
