      the reason people use different color dots on lasers is because red and yellow are lower frequencys and blue and purple are higher frequencys of electromagnetic waves so if you want to obstruct sumones vision you use higher frequency waves

      My thoughts are.... what can you see better? And do keep in mind, red is dimmer, but it also tends not to contrast with greenery, which may or may not be a concern.
      If, on the other hand, you're colorblind, like I am (I mean the real kind, not that fucking SJW shitty version people use to explain how skin color doesn't matter), this may matter more. Green is brighter, yes, but to me, it looks more yellow than green, and is highly visible.

    Excellent video. I just started a new build and want to keep it as simple and light as possible. You brought back a memory of BASIC. The weapons we were issued had Ptouch labels on the stock with a number, mine was 56. It was about 2" behind the charging handle. I used it as a reference point. A DS from another platoon was ripping me one day because I didn't rest my on the charging handle like they were preaching. I was trying to explain to him what I was doing and of course that went over REAL well. The Master Sergeant from my platoon overheard and stopped him cold. I was routinely firing 35/40 to 40/40 on the range. Master Sergeant told me to keep doing whatever it was that I was doing. That was nearly 35 years ago on an M16A1.

    Awesome, first thanks for your service! I'm 61yrs old and served 20 active. I'm not a SEAL, however we did a lot of support missions with you guys. I really enjoyed those missions the most out of all of them. I digress.....anyway, really appreciate the review and candor. Not to mention the straight talk, get tired of the "fluff" from some of the other folks. My setups are very similar to what you have described, also the more shit you put on, the heavier it gets. When you get older it's much more of a physical cost when carrying on the range or hunting. Cheers brother, stay safe. Weird times we live in now.

Its the stated or implied insults to certain audience members for some choices they might have made (fuckin safety, light discipline, green dots obviously don't work for Leprechauns) while including thee awkward pauses that really sell the performance. It is so authentic, I actuality got nervous about being AWOL and out of uniform FFS.

    Hey Shawn great video. It's good that you explain things the way you do because so many kids and goofy adults with no experience hang on your every word. You let them know when something is stupid (like playing with your safety) or pointless or dangerous. It makes me feel a little better anyway. Semper Fi and thank you for your service to the best country on earth.
