Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Are
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): you going to do it or am I going to do it?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Oh,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): I thought we were doing it together.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Oh, are we going to do it together? One, two, three. This episode
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): of Double
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Tap is brought to you by Foxtrot
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Mike,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): C
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): &G Holsters, Midwest
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Industries, Ross
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Martin,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Stuff
Nick (reference, not reviewed): and Things Incorporated,
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): and Shawn's Distended Taint.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Welcome to Double Tap, episode 484. Tonight, we're going to be joined by the cast that you like, that you appreciate. First up, we got Jeremy Pazderick from Rivers Edge Tactical in Valley City, Ohio. It's a gun range. But also a gun store. But also an ammunition store. But also a gun accessory store. And also there's free coffee. So go there, drink all the coffee, leave. Next up, we've got Nick Lynch from BusBuiltSystems.com. BusBuiltSystems.com is a purveyor and an inventor shop where he creates things that are very useful to people that like to shoot guns.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): But if you don't like to shoot guns, he's also got shirts about murders. And that's pretty cool. Look for it under
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): BusBuilt
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): After Dark, I think. Right?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): It
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): is weird that your taint hangs lower than your balls, though.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Okay, new rule. We don't talk about my taint. Does your taint hang low? Does it
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): wobble
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): to
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): you,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): I'm fro?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Can
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): you tie it in? No, no, no, we're not doing this. My name's Shawn. Welcome to this episode of Dear WLS. It is...
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Wait,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): it's actually called Double Tap. I forgot the name of the show. You know what? This is going to go real well. The whole taint thing got me all off my game.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, taints usually get me off my game too.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): yeah.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Not cool.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): You're all ready and then all of a sudden taint and you're like, I just wasn't prepared for that.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Nobody expected that. It's like the Spanish linguization. Anyway, we're here. This is a show called Double Tap. We have a couple segments on the show. One is called Dear WLS where you send in your questions and you can text your name and your question to 743-500-2171. If you're older than 26, you can go to welikeshooting.com slash dashboard, click on Dear WLS, and submit your question in a nice web form that is validated and guaranteed not to hack your servers.
Shawn (manual, reviewed): Right? Okay. Well, maybe.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Okay. Well, we'll see. You know what? It's actually a surprise. It's a surprise.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): You'll
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): find out, and I think you'll enjoy the outcome, the results, what have you. Jeremy, what'd you do all day?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): was working. Fucking working? Working. Boo. Are you drinking low life?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Bud
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Light, bro. Oh. Bud Light lime.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): With lime.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah. Oh,
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): God. It looked like you were drinking Miller low life.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): We've got some downstairs, actually. Someone brought them. I don't know where they came from, but they're here.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): It's
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): like AIDS just shows up.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Oh,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): got something you like, Shawn.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Oh, boy.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Oh,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): yeah. That is actually. Yeah. Kruskavach. Kruskovac.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): That's
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): actually relevant to my interests. That's that.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): I also have some Schlevo.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): What's Schlevo? I don't remember that one. Schlevovitz. Oh, Schlevovitz. Okay. Yeah.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): That's the pear, right? Yeah. It's plum brandy. Plum brandy. Kruskovac is the pear. Okay. Gotcha. But that's a pear liqueur.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Which means it's got to be over like 12% sugar or something like that.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): forget what the level of 12, 21%, something like that. Like liqueurs have to be like really sugary to be a liqueur. Which is why every time somebody says, let's do shots, I'll be like, if it's got sugar in it, it's not a shot. So if you're doing shots of shit like that, it's not a shot.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Also, the more sugar, the more hangover. I don't know about that. Dude, for me.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): can fucking pound ciders.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Dude, no, man. Like all that sugar. That's probably
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): just because it's sweeter, which means you drink more than you normally would because it doesn't taste like rot gut alcohol.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I think there's actually science behind it. I don't really know the science. I can drink
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): a
Nick (reference, not reviewed): lot of rocket alcohol.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Yeah,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): same.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Dooley and I drank a whole bottle of whiskey, and that was like a year ago. Yeah, but that's two people drinking
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): a
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): bottle
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): of
Jeremy (manual, reviewed): whiskey. I can
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): drink a whole bottle of whiskey by myself. All right. So can I. I'm physically capable. Hey, you know what? I could drink two bottles of whiskey.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): If
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): they're small? No. Full size, 750 milliliters.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah?
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Yeah.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I'm going to die, but I can
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): do it. I don't get that. Like, I'm going to throw up before I die of alcohol poisoning. Like, I'm just going to fucking lose it. Like, I don't understand. Like, the people that, like, I have a buddy that can't throw up. He just can't physically do it.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Is your buddy Jerry Seinfeld?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): No,
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): but he just, like, I've seen him try to throw up because he wanted to. And he just, it was so disgusting. I was like, what are you doing? He's like,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I'm
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): like, dude, just throw up. And he's like, I'm trying. I'm like. Just fucking puke, dude. It's not that hard. What is wrong with you? Oh, I am definitely capable of puke and rally. Like, I can throw up and just get back to it.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Oh, I've done it. You know, actually, the most impressive version of that that I've ever seen is we all worked back in the MCI days with a dude that was on Anabuse because he got like 60 UIs. And that motherfucker, because if you don't know, Anabuse is a drug that the court orders you to be put on. And any time you drink alcohol, you just instantly start fucking yakking. So he would literally slam a beer, throw up all over the place, slam a beer, throw up all over the place, slam a beer,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): throw up all over the place. And then after like three to four beers, he was just good. Like the antibodies no longer had effect and he could just get hammered.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Probably because he vomited all of it out.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Well, no, it's like it was a shot, I think.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Oh,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): so it was like any time between your shots that you drank alcohol, you would throw up. But apparently
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): once
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): you throw up three or four times. Yeah. Yeah, like a nerve overstimulation.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): I know someone who would drink through it
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): like
Nick (reference, not reviewed): that. But
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Nick (reference, not reviewed): never really discussed it with them.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): man. Okay, let's go ahead and get...
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): have a lot of fucking liquor up here.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): mean, we need to fix that.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Oh,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): also,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): apparently
Nick (reference, not reviewed): one of the... Sugary alcoholic beverages cause the worst hangover is that sugary drinks don't provide hydration
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): or
Nick (reference, not reviewed): as much hydration. So if you're like
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): mixing
Nick (reference, not reviewed): with,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): you
Nick (reference, not reviewed): know, a lot of syrup or something or a soda,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): it
Nick (reference, not reviewed): would be worse than
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): mixing
Nick (reference, not reviewed): with something that can at least give you some hydration.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Interesting.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): At least that's what this is saying.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Is
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): this AI?
Nick (reference, not reviewed): No, it was, let's see.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I'm
Nick (reference, not reviewed): not against it. College of Medicine
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): has
Nick (reference, not reviewed): a blog post from a doctor
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): on
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): there. So if you just do the dually method and for every alcoholic drink you drink a glass of water.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Yeah,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): that
Nick (reference, not reviewed): is a very good technique
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): if
Nick (reference, not reviewed): you can remember to do it.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): it's the best technique, honestly. I always slam water before bed and I try to drink water while I'm doing it. So I don't know.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): I've heard that milk is actually more hydrating than water.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Like
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): it quenches your thirst better than water does. No shit.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I've
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): heard that. have no basis for that scientifically or anecdotally or at all. It was something I heard one time and I went, huh, I wonder if that's true. And then moved on with my life and never bothered to look it up.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): You know, it would be interesting if it was true. I also have some anecdotal information that is not based on science fact or any other accepted method or measure of intelligence. But I am chronically dehydrated. Like I just don't drink enough water. I know it's a problem. I need to fix it. I try. I got a water bottle right here. But I just don't drink enough water. So I think that I'm chronically dehydrated. But every night before bed, I crave milk as if it is
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): heroin.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): So
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): like I have a small glass of milk every night before I go to bed and I wonder if my body knows that milk is more hydrating and since I'm chronically and constantly dehydrated that it craves the milk instead of water.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Nick (reference, not reviewed): can confirm the milk thing.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yes.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Even to this day, even when I got lactose intolerant, I just drink lactose free milk.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): You can become lactose tolerant if you just fucking mainline milk for like two weeks straight. We're back to the
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Anabuse thing.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Just overwhelm the system.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): That's an interesting theory, Shawn.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Well, yeah. I don't know. Again.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): mean, you could just drink water. Like, have a set amount of water. Get a jug that big. And just realize you have to drink this whole jug during the day. Like a gallon.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Absolutely. Like,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): have all the intention of drinking water.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. I'm really bad about drinking water during the day. But at night, when I get home.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Nick (reference, not reviewed): pound it.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, so like I got here this morning
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): and
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I sat in my computer from the time I got here until like 10 minutes before the show. And I stood up twice. Once to get the mail. Wait, three times. Once to get the mail. Once to answer the door for FedEx. And once to walk down in the mailbox. Wait, I said that twice. Once to go to the bathroom. Once to check the mail. Once to open the door for FedEx.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): that's it. Like I never thought about water. never thought about food. I never thought about anything except for. Projects and getting shit done.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Well, like there's water in beer. So, you
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): know.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. So I'm going to get fucking nice and hydrated tonight. Okay. Bye, Nick.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): But
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): yeah, I
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): don't
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): know. Like we have a carafe. Like I hate cold water. Like I fucking hate cold water. I want room
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): temperature
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): water. I will only drink cold water.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Oh, no. Fuck that. No, I can't drink it fast enough. It hurts my teeth. Like, no. When I drink water, like I have a water bottle that that entire carafe will fit inside. It's like 42 ounces or something like that. Like it's probably, it's pretty close to a half gallon. Like it's a big water bottle. But I can down that thing in one go.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Like
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): I can just
Jeremy (manual, reviewed): go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): then fill it up again. But I'll drink, you know, three of those a night. Yeah. I need to do that. And room temperature waters. More hydrating than cold water because your body doesn't have to warm it up as much for you to process it.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Interesting.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): it's better for your gut health because it doesn't damage the bacteria because it's cold.
Shawn (manual, reviewed): You know, this
Nick (reference, not reviewed): all sounds like something. didn't you were a European, Jeremy.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Right.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Fucking.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Then you're like trying to chug water and like a piece of ice goes straight down your throat. That's not fun.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Dude, what? And the fuck is going on in your life? Like, I don't want, I don't, I know. Hey, Nick, can you imagine being so fucking weak? I
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): will
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): literally leave water in a carafe on the table so it comes to room temperature because that is a better temperature than cold.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): That's crazy to me. Just imagine being so weak that water hurts your teeth.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Have you ever been like out bailing hay and so fucking hot that you just need to get water in you and then you can't drink cold water fast enough? Because it fucking hurts. Okay. And then you got to wait to get it in your body.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): No, I've never been out bailing hay and been so thirsty that I didn't do that. But I've been out doing many other things that are physical activities outside that I had that exact same experience. I get it. Yeah. Like the thirstier you are, the more you'll drink whatever.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): And then that follows over to I don't want cold water because I want to be able to put it in my fucking body.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): mean,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): you
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): know what? I'm just I'm going to drink even colder water now.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. You know what? I love it in the wintertime. I'm going to slap you in the head with cold water. So cold that it's a solid.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): And I'm going to fucking shoot you with a warm water laser.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I'm
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): going to
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): piss on you.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): God damn, that escalated.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Wait, isn't that a warm water laser?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): don't know. And I don't want to talk about it anymore. Two things off limits tonight. My taint and pissing on people.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I'm
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): going to piss on your taint.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Please
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): don't.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): do what I want. You can't stop me.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I can stop you. That's why I carry a gun. Anyway, Foxtrot Mike, the ISU9 is out, boys.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): It
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): is out. It is available. It is ready to rock. And holy shit, they sold out on day one, restocked on day two, and they've just been absolutely killing it. This is the ISU9. It is an integrally suppressed 9mm upper. We know from Paul talking on the show that they've got a 5.56 version coming. Maybe a 300 blackout I've seen on the internet.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): just all kinds of other
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): stuff.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): some teaser stuff about a 300 blackout. Yeah. Which sounds pretty sweet to me.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): all of it. Because, you know, it's like a brand new recoil system that didn't exist until they created it. And, you know, the suppressor fits in the handguard.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): That it was going to be a little bit louder. But I found that it's actually really quite pleasant. got a good tone. I like it a lot.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, I don't think that it is. It is not the quietest. Like they could make it quieter if they made the can bigger. However, that is not to say that it is loud.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, because, you know, it's volume and this has plenty of volume because it's so freaking long. So it's probably kind of washes out. But yeah.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, the nice part about, well, the nice part is it makes 115 grain subsonic. Yeah. Because you bleed off enough velocity, which also helps it. Be quieter.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. But so good. You can find it fm-products.com. Coupon code WLS is life. But the entire complete integrally suppressed upper with the suppressor and everything you need on that upper is under 500 bucks. I think it's one penny under 500 bucks. $499.99. And with our coupon code, that saves you 11%. And, you know, you can see where the savings are going to go. So anyway, it's out. Like literally, if you've been thinking about it, go hit it now. Hit it quick.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Nick (reference, not reviewed): don't quit
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): it. It's been selling really well. I've been texting back and forth with Paul and it's like, it did. It did great. So keep it up. And again, don't wait too long or else it'll be out of stock for a while. But they're available now on the website, fm-products.com.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Which
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): brings us to Dear WLS. Again, you can text your name and question to 743-500-2171. Nick, why don't you start us off tonight?
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Oh, okay. Bo M says, so I recently was able to add a gun to my collection that I've wanted for close to a decade now. The Scar 16 and the accuracy enhanced FDE, of course.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Nick (reference, not reviewed): got an amazing deal on one of the OG Belgian ones with the reciprocating charging handle.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Nick (reference, not reviewed): knew I had a bad reputation with the reciprocating with the RCH
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): or
Nick (reference, not reviewed): reciprocating charging handle, I assume. And there were literally. Celebrations in the internet streets when FN announced the NRCH version.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): But
Nick (reference, not reviewed): I wanted it and went for it anyways. After shooting it for a while, I'm left with a question. Why in the hell did everyone bitch and moan about the reciprocating charging handle on these things?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): The
Nick (reference, not reviewed): handle going forward on each shot seems to settle the gun back on the target. That is for what little recoil there is for 5.56 and holds open when you're out as a visible indicator. Am I missing something? My first thought was it's all just whining. Internet pussies who are blissfully unaware that the AK-wielding commies of the world have been using RCH just fine for over three quarters of a century. Then I read that the SOCOM dudes who tested it complained about it, which kind of nixed that idea.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): So
Nick (reference, not reviewed): what is it?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Is
Nick (reference, not reviewed): it that SF dudes hate change and don't want to retrain? Then the pretend internet warlords hear that and just go parroting well SOCOM hates it, so it sucks. I know the 17 beats up optics. And that's not much of an issue on the 16. Hoping one of you dudes, dudettes, may be able to help shed some light on this for me.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Nick (reference, not reviewed): that maybe I can learn something that I'm not aware of before it happens.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Getting your thumb cranked by the reciprocating charging handle.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): don't think it's ever happened to me, but I've seen it happen to somebody.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): You
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): have to have a pretty poor grip for it to happen, but.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, like if you do like a Magwell grip or something, it can smack you.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): The other thing is that the AK has the, if you're right-handed anyway, the AK has the charging handle on the right-hand side, which means that when the rifle is slung, it's pointed away from you, and it's not going to get
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): snagged
Nick (reference, not reviewed): in anything. Although I guess this isn't really an issue, shooting. But I always kind of hated the position of the charging handle on this car. I guess you can swap it, though, right? You can put it on the right side. I think
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): so.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): But by default, it's on the left side,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): which
Nick (reference, not reviewed): is kind of annoying when you go to... You know, sling it.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): mean, it's nice that it's there and you can just take your offhand and go and wrap it. But I have, there's a video on my Instagram of me shooting my full auto scar and I grabbed the mag well like I did in NAR and I had my thumb sticking up and that fucking charging handle came right back, nailed me right in the top of the fucking thumb. You see me pull my arm off of it and I finish a 30 round magazine full auto one handed. It's hard to tell if you're not looking for it, but it's on there. But fucking nail me right in the fucking thumb, dude. Hurt like a son of a bitch. Almost hurt my thumbnail
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): off. Like, it fucking hurt. And I was like, oh, yeah, this is, I'm like, how much is a non-reciprocating charging handle? I'm not paying for that.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Although
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): I will say this. The other good reason is the reciprocating charging handle in this car, I've put four or five charging handles on that thing. No shit. Yeah, they keep breaking and flying off. It is a horrible. And like different ones, too. Like we've tried the standard Scar one. We bought aftermarket ones. And every single one of them is broke. The one that's on there now, I'm just waiting for it to break.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): That's kind of crazy. Yeah.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): They've all broken.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): It
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): doesn't get rented that often. But the fact that you're talking 500 rounds between breaking broken charging handles is kind of annoying.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): that's super annoying.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): The
Nick (reference, not reviewed): benefit of the reciprocating charging handle is that you can reach. You up there and tap the bolt in the battery like a forward assist. If a round doesn't
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): quite
Nick (reference, not reviewed): go, you know, like if the bolt doesn't lock up all the way, you can reach up there and give it a tap. Whereas, I mean, with other stuff, you can reach in through the ejection port and whatnot, but it's a lot easier to
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): have
Nick (reference, not reviewed): a lever to hit.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): if you're like
Nick (reference, not reviewed): to stick your fingers in and push.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): If
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): your buddy's doing downward dog and, know, like using his butt crack as a tripod, like it could definitely, you know, cause some damage.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): If
Nick (reference, not reviewed): his cheeks are big enough that they're cushioning the forend.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Well, yeah, of course. I don't hang out with no fucking skinny bottoms.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): But yeah, like that's all I've ever known. And the charging handle on the SCAR-S or the 16S, doesn't that shit like stick out the left so when you have it slung it's like stabbing you in the fucking sternum?
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, that's what I was kind of getting at. Is that, yeah, you like have the rifle on the sling, you know, and if you're not wearing a plate carrier or something. Then it's
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): a
Nick (reference, not reviewed): little uncomfortable.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Which
Nick (reference, not reviewed): is why stuff further up on the handguard is cool. Because it's not going to jab into you. And it's also right there next to your hand when you're ready to
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): charge
Nick (reference, not reviewed): the gun.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. Yeah. Well, Beau, I hope that helps.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Was
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): that the whole question?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah. Yeah.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I'm just looking at it. That's my own personal anecdotal evidence. Jeremy, why you take the next one?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Broken
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): charging handles suck. Yeah. Question from Carl. Carl. Let's imagine a scenario where you have only one rifle, 14-inch .308, which you'll be using for both home defense and hunting whitetail after 300 yards. What would your ideal optic be for this dual-purpose rifle? Much thanks for your insight. LPVO.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Pick
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): one.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, 1-10 LPVO.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): That's what I LPVO of some sort with a red dot.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Because
Nick (reference, not reviewed): it's 2026 and we can do that. like it.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): like it a lot.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): that's,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): guess we all agree. That's the first.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): I mean, if you really wanted to get crazy, well, he only says 300 yards. If you wanted to try to shoot further, you could do like a,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): like
Nick (reference, not reviewed): an MPVO, you know, like a four to 16 or a two to 12 or something and throw a red dot on there
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): as
Nick (reference, not reviewed): well.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): But
Nick (reference, not reviewed): that's going to add weight and whatnot. Yeah.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): But,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I mean, it's a 14-inch .308, so it already weighs
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): a
Nick (reference, not reviewed): fucking ton.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): At
Nick (reference, not reviewed): 300 yards, you're like
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): 6
Nick (reference, not reviewed): to 10 power on the upper range.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. A question from Cowboy from MI. Jeremy, did you sell out of the R3T4RD serialized guns? If so, how long till you start building the N1GG3R serialized guns? What type of firearm will they be? Will they be the same as the R3T4RD? Perhaps I would like to acquire one in Minecraft, obviously.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Micro Draco.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): They're actually the RET4RD. It stands for River's Edge Tactical for Research and Development.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Wait,
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): I didn't know that. Yeah. And then we have the RET4RD3D, which is the third development, which is the AKs that we make. Nice.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): I haven't come up with a 2D one. Well, that one didn't work out, so we just skipped it. It's kind of like the AR naming scheme. You're not going to see all of them, so we just skipped the second development and went right to the third development. You're like, fuck.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): For the 2D,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): they
Nick (reference, not reviewed): should be cut out of plywood or something, and it should be for kids. They're two-dimensional.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Nick (reference, not reviewed): like this idea.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): The N1 GG3R serialized guns, they'll probably be Draco clones.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): If
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): we come up with a Draco clone, that's what I'll name it.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): That's such a good idea.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Anyway, there you go. There you have it. Let's see.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Nick,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): back to you.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Okay.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): This
Nick (reference, not reviewed): one
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): is
Nick (reference, not reviewed): from Charles M.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Oh,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): shit. It's Charlie Manson. Wait a minute.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): A
Nick (reference, not reviewed): long time listener here.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Nick (reference, not reviewed): dropped off for a few years, but have been back for about a year now and really enjoy the show again.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): How long was Manson in jail?
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Forever.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Oh, OK. Well,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): it's
Nick (reference, not reviewed): probably not him then.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): He
Nick (reference, not reviewed): has a few questions.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Nick (reference, not reviewed): mean, maybe Manson has Internet access now in jail. You know what?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Like
Nick (reference, not reviewed): a lot of people do.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I was watching a Tommy G video and they all had tablets and shit. And I was like, oh, OK.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Maybe
Nick (reference, not reviewed): prison
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): isn't
Nick (reference, not reviewed): so bad.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Let's
Nick (reference, not reviewed): see. He says, what happened to having a female presence on the show? I remember some past issues, but never caught up
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): on
Nick (reference, not reviewed): the full story. For Jeremy, I was stationed in Flores, Area 41,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): at
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Camp Pendleton from 2002 to 2006. Were you there around that time? And what's the deal with the 300 blackout hate? I get the cost, but it's been a solid, reliable caliber for me. Appreciate the content. Glad to be listening again. I can answer two of those.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Fuddliness for the 300 blackout
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): and the
Nick (reference, not reviewed): female presence.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): You
Nick (reference, not reviewed): know, we all make mistakes and we learn from them and we move on. And here we are.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. Well, I mean, we've had a couple of female presence. Well, we've had a female presence and a demonic presence. So, well, we had an angelic presence and a demonic presence. We had Lil. And she was amazing and everything kind and wonderful about this planet and humanity in general. And she was great. But, you know, like she got busy with career and family and, you know, got married. And there wasn't room for six guys in her life. So
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): she had to decrease by five. Then we had another presence that was destructive and chaotic evil.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): You
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): know, we did an exorcism. And that demonic presence left, which was great. And one of the best things that ever happened. But that demonic presence, it left a lasting aftertaste. And the aftertaste was of sulfur and evil.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): because of that,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): we
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): all believe in repealing the 19th Amendment now. And we just no longer want that kind of presence on the show. You know, we got spoiled with Lil. You know, we
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): just
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): made, I made more mistakes than everyone else. But yeah, it's just not a good thing. So
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): there
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): will never be another woman on the show.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): assure you. Just not worth it.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Jeremy, were you in Camp Pendleton? I
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): was basically all of 2003. I was in a 14 area.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Or
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): was it 12 area or 14? It's been so long ago.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I'm
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): trying to, I did hang out a lot in 22 area down by the air wing because that's where the E-Club was. And it was like just down the mountain from us. If you came out of the E-Club and took a right on the main highway, if you went left, you went to the air wing or where the runways and the barracks where the air wingers were. But if you went right, you went like, you could either go like around the mountain or you could like go up and switch back up the mountain. And our area was right up there.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): I think 14 area was where PX was and we lived in 12 area or I have that backwards. But yeah, I was there for basically all of 2003.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): think we got there in February.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Hold
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): on.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): My
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): daughter's here.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. So anyway,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): that's
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): where he was. And this is area 41. So it's like
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): close
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): to area 51,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): which
Nick (reference, not reviewed): is concerning.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): then, Nick, do you hate 300 Blackout?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): No,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): I don't.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Nick (reference, not reviewed): do think that it is... Honestly, no. I think it's a pretty cool cartridge. I just think that it's kind of expensive and
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): it's
Nick (reference, not reviewed): not like something I'm excited about enough to
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): have
Nick (reference, not reviewed): one yet.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): It's Jeremy that hates 300 Blackout, right?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. Like, I'm mostly indifferent on it, so... I like 300 blackout supers because I can shoot, you know, three, four, 500 yards and mostly hit my targets. But with subs, you're like sub 250, even less on occasion. And like, I don't know, I have less use for that. Then again, it suppresses really well if you're shooting subs. That's a great thing. I like that. Jeremy fucking hates it. Doesn't want it. Thinks it's
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): stupid.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Isn't feeling that at all.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah. I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): mean, honestly, for a 30 cal
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): AR
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): -15 size platform, I think it's not terrible. I just don't prefer it, I guess.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): It
Nick (reference, not reviewed): also performs well out of short barrels, which
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I'm
Nick (reference, not reviewed): all about.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Totally agree.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, and like you said, the supers are relatively potent. You're in
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): reasonable
Nick (reference, not reviewed): deer hunting territory. Not that you can't hunt deer with a 223 or something, but
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Nick (reference, not reviewed): think the 300 Blackout supers are a little more
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): appropriate
Nick (reference, not reviewed): for that for most people.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Jeremy, why do you hate 300 Blackout, Jeremy?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): don't hate 300 Blackout. I just hate it unless it's doing what it's designed for because there's other cartridges that do the other job better.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Like if you're going to make a 300 Blackout designed for what 300 Blackout is for, awesome. But if you go outside of that, like a 16-inch 300 Blackout is just fucking retarded. There's other cartridges that do what you're going to put that through better. There's 6.5, 6.8s that do what a supersonic 300 Blackout does better.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): I do think a 16-inch barrel on a .300 Blackout is
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): weird.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): It's a waste.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): That's for 18-year-olds that can't buy pistols. Like, that's what it's for.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yep.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Although, did we get any clarification on that? If they're just a rifle now, can an 18-year-old buy them?
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I don't think we've gotten clarification. In fact, this is the first time I'm even thinking about it.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Because
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): if it's just a Title I rifle, 18-year-old can buy a rifle, right? 100%. 18-year-old can buy a shotgun, right?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I don't know. That's a really good point.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah,
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): a 300 blackout somewhere around nine and a half inches with a one and five twist. Other than that, big gay.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): There
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): you go.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Welcome back, Charles. We're glad to have you. We're glad that we're still alive to be here for you. Surprising, honestly. But
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): yeah,
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): it was cool. The E-club in the 22 area was called the Double Deuce, and they had $5 pitchers on Tuesdays. And we got yelled at for drinking directly out of the pitcher.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Well,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): what else are you supposed to? It's a $5 pitcher.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Exactly.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): How
Nick (reference, not reviewed): do they think you're going to drink
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): it?
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): We were just slamming pitchers and having like five or six of them a night. Oh, yeah. I'd be like, you can't do that. So we'd just be like, I'd be like pouring a cup, chug it, pouring a cup, chug it, pouring a cup, chug it.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): They're
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): like,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): what the fuck's the difference, dude? Dude, there was a bar that they did quarter pitchers. My band used to. Practice in the basement. And the last time
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Nick (reference, not reviewed): did- 1970?
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): No, it would have been
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): 94.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): So then my band practiced in the basement, but we would go upstairs and, you know, watch the live bands and drink the quarter pitchers. And then they served, they had the plastic pitchers and they had glass glasses.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): then one night we slammed like two pitchers each and then we were moshing. And I got fucking checked across a table full of empty glasses. Smashed all the glasses. I still have scars on my back to this day. And I don't think I ever had another quarter picture after that.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): They
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): raised them to 50 cents.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Which,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): you know, didn't really change anything.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): But
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): yeah, I miss the old days. It was a lot of beer.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): There
Nick (reference, not reviewed): was a place here where you could go in at lunchtime and get a pretty
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): decent
Nick (reference, not reviewed): burger.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Nick (reference, not reviewed): a picture of PBR
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): for
Nick (reference, not reviewed): like
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): five
Nick (reference, not reviewed): bucks or something.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Nick (reference, not reviewed): it is not that way anymore.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): The
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): good
Nick (reference, not reviewed): old days.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Miss
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): the good old days. All right. Let's do this.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): So
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): C&G Holsters has a holster model called the Trinity.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): So
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): what this is, it is the OWB Kydex holster. Supports TechLock, Safariland QLS. G-Code RTI. No adapters. Just got the holes pre-built into it so you could switch out as you want without ever having to go buy a new holster. Modular. They do everything off of CNC molds so everything is nice and sharp and crisp and beautiful.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): You can get a level 2 rotating hood if you want and they are actually awesome. That's what I use for a lot of different guns. One of them even got used over the weekend. So go check them out if you're looking for a holster. That's C-A-N-D-G holsters.com. Coupon code WLS is life.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Jeremy,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): next question.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): A question from Anonymous Coward.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): was recently on vacation in a redacted coastal town and saw some small ocean-sized sailboats in the docks. I think 30 to 50 feet long. Small cabin, probably room for one to five people. This made me start wondering what guns would be ideal for long trips through dangerous places full of dune coons, burrito bandits, and headhunters while on a small boat. I'm thinking a Barrett and an MP5 with a drum mag with a drum along with something concealable for short trips would be handy.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): What would each of the cast members take with them for such a trip solo or with friends?
Shawn (manual, reviewed): What? Huh? I
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): think he's worried about pirates on the high seas.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Okay. Long trips through dangerous places full of... I feel like he's talking about Mexico.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Maybe? Or
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): anywhere in the Caribbean.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): okay. South American-ish. I don't
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): know. Is this the guy that tried to take over Venezuela or whatever?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Maybe.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): I think this is a bad idea. I think this is how you end up rotting in a prison in Central America.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. Yeah. I agree. However, I'm interested in answering the question, what would I take if I thought that I needed it?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): mean, I don't know about a Barrett unless you're trying to like sink somebody else's ship or boat.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): even then, I don't know that you're going to. I mean, maybe. I guess. And
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): space
Nick (reference, not reviewed): is going to be at a premium. So like where the fuck are you going to put that thing
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): when
Nick (reference, not reviewed): you're not using it?
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Exactly.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Which is
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): all
Nick (reference, not reviewed): of the time.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Exactly. So what would I take?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): mean,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): it's
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): a good question.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I mean, obviously just like a concealed carry handgun
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): would
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): be the concealable thing.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Maybe
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): in a shoulder holster wearing a cardigan. I don't know.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): don't really.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Am
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I like fighting on the ocean or am I fighting when I make landfall?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): You
Nick (reference, not reviewed): know what I would do is one of those stainless Mossbergs,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): the
Nick (reference, not reviewed): maritime one or marine or whatever they call it. So stainless steel pump action 12 gauge would be
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): an
Nick (reference, not reviewed): excellent, excellent option on a boat.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): There
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): you go.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): my opinion.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Nick (reference, not reviewed): then, yeah, some sort of compact handgun, preferably in like.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Or
Nick (reference, not reviewed): mid-sized handgun so that it's easily concealable but doesn't like suck to shoot.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): In like
Nick (reference, not reviewed): polymer with a stainless slide or a very good
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): anti
Nick (reference, not reviewed): -corrosion coating on the slide.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I'd take a .338 Lapua rifle. I'd take a .10.6 AR-15 and a concealed carry. Handgun.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): That's
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): the three that I would take. One for treason on the high seas. One for, you know, moving inside of boats. And one for taking on shore when
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): concealment
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): is mandatory.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Jeremy,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): what would you take?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): mean, I would just take,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I'd
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): probably like mount,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I'd
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): probably just mount like a 50 BMG up on the bow. And maybe two on the stern. And maybe three port and starboard. And just leave it at that. You know, something simple.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. You know, a 50 is not a bad idea. Because you've got to think, guys. Sea monsters. Yeah,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): what
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): if a Kraken shows
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): up?
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Fucking giant squid, a Kraken. Neat options. Killer whales. Blue whales.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): What would be cool is if you rigged up the ones on the sides. So they were just fixed, pointed out 90 degrees.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Nick (reference, not reviewed): then...
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): You
Nick (reference, not reviewed): rigged them up so you could shoot them with strings, like cannons.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Oh,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): yeah.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Except like all of them at the same time.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Nick (reference, not reviewed): then you could stand at the back at the wheel while you were captaining or whatever the fuck. And I don't know, boat words.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Nick (reference, not reviewed): then
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): have
Nick (reference, not reviewed): the strings there, you know? So you could be like steering and then just reach over and pull up beside somebody's boat.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Like
Nick (reference, not reviewed): an old school naval battle.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Nick (reference, not reviewed): then pull the string
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): and... Anyway,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): yeah.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): I'm just
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): spitballing
Nick (reference, not reviewed): here.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): I found the place where I used to live in Pendleton.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Okay.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): And the barracks. barracks are gone.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): They probably fucking burned them down after you left.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): No, we got, I knew they tore them down, but I was like trying to remember where,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): like
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): where it was. So I was like Googling it and I found the chow hall and the fitness center. And then there's another set of barracks over there, but they were new. They're not like the ones. Because I was like, oh, here's the gate we came in. And I, like, followed the road. I'm like, I remember going up this way. And then it went right to 22 area. And I was like, all right, go up the mountain, up the switchback, go over here. Okay, yeah, there. Nope, those barracks are gone.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): think what actually happened is Jeremy said that he hung out at the pee club. But what that actually meant was he just pissed in his closet for an entire year straight. then
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): they
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): had to tear
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): the barracks down to get rid of the
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): smell. I lived in 14 area.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Where the PX was. And I was like, there used to be a Jack in the Box over here, but now it's gone. It's a credit union. And that used to be a haircut place. And then
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): there's
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): a Moe's Southwest Grill and a Panda Express. I'm like, that shit wasn't there.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): The
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): liquor store is still there. I remember that. Where is Area 41? 14. 41, bitch.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Oh, in comparison to... Here it is.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): It's way. Let me try to find my location. It's
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): west
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): and north. It's west by northwest.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Is that
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): gay club
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): that
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): you guys went to still there?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Huh?
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): What? Oh, School of Infantry. went up there one time. That's a fucking drive. Las Flores is right there. That's where that dude was, right? Flores?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): 14 areas over there. It's like, yeah, it's like West and
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): lost where there's the Lost Floors
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): MCX.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, it's there's the
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): yeah,
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): it's like it's like West and a little bit North
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): over
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): here by Leatherneck Lanes in the movie theater.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. Nice. Leatherneck Lanes. That's awesome.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): There's
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): a fucking Raising Cane's. Oh, there's the Domino's. That was like there were like two to go back. There were three options for food on the base that wasn't a chow hall. There was a Domino's and it would deliver anywhere on base 24-7. So like on Friday night, good luck getting a fucking pizza order in. You're going to be waiting like three fucking hours. There was a Jack in the Box up at Mainside and there was a Taco Bell in the 22 area E-Club that closed at like 10 o'clock. Damn.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Yeah.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Okay,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): let's see. Question from Seth C. We welcomed our first child earlier this year. Since then, my wife has expressed interest in carrying a firearm. We've already been working on her becoming more proficient with her pistol and even signed her up for some classes. She will more than likely off-body carry, so I've been looking at some cross-body EDC bags for her, like the Savior Obscura, for example. Wanted to see if you guys had any recommendations or thoughts on cross-body carry bags. Thanks. I have one that I carry when I'm hiking,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): and
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): really the key is... You know, if you're right-handed, you're going to sling it over your left shoulder. And then hopefully there's a pouch that you can quickly and easily get into if you need to draw. So just think about how she's going to use it. What hand she is, left-handed or right-handed. Her physiology, like how big are her boobs. And actually, if you need advice on that, you can feel free to send pictures to 743-500-2171. And, you know, we'll obviously be able to give you a little bit better advice there.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Right,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Nick?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Whose
Nick (reference, not reviewed): number is that?
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): That's the Tier WLS number.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Uh
Nick (reference, not reviewed): -oh.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): It's like, that's not Shawn's number.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): No,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): it's Jeremy. Shawn's number is 719.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): No,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): no,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): no.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): But
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): yeah, like just think about how she's going to get into it, how quick and easy it is to access. Like I prefer only one zipper separating me from near death. And,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): you
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): know, like make sure that
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): you
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): got to also consider, you know,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): A
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): lot of times you want to unzip with your left, if you're right-handed, unzip with your left hand. Then be able to access the firearm with your right. But when you're talking about a sling bag, it's not necessarily that simple or easy. So you really just have to think through mentally
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): how
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): that access is going to work. And then you can look for some of the EDC bags. Because I've seen some that are actually really good.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I've seen some that are actually really bad. And just, you know. They look good, but then when you start to think about how you're going to use it in practice, it's bad. But check out
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): for
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): that kind of stuff.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): don't have any experience with that. The one that I have, Angel made me.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): it's like exactly what I would want because she made it. And it works exactly the way that I would want it to. And I can get to my gun exactly how I would choose to. So think about that. Vertex V-E-R-T-X is another place you can check.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): 5
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): .11 has a bunch.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah. Yeah.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): I have not carried this way, so I can't
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): give
Nick (reference, not reviewed): any real input.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, mine's crossbody. And you can wear it on your back or your front. I wear it on my front just because I keep my gun in there, my phone,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): my
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): water bottle. That's pretty much what I keep in it. Yeah, just think all that stuff through and then go look around on the internet. And once you have identified the way that she's going to access it, you'll be able to much easier make those decisions. IMO. That will do it for Dear WLS this week.

So like now they've got Chiappa Rhino, Colt Python and Anaconda, a bunch of Ruger variants, Smith and Wesson variants, Taurus Judge, Raging Hunter, Thompson, Center, Encore, Contender. And yeah, what that does is it just basically adds some aluminum grips that you can pop on pretty quickly and easily. And then it has quick detached stocks and or

Shawn (reference, not reviewed): All right. Time for some gun industry news. Let me actually share my screen for those who happen to be watching. Live, and if you're not,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I'll
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): try to describe it for you
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): in
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): a way that makes sense. RCBS introduces their new vibratory case polisher. Wink, wink, nod, nod, nod. If you know what I mean.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): My
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): wife loves it. Yeah, she's been polishing all day.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, these are for women with the fits. Uh, that have gone, lost their minds. Yeah.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): And if you cannot, uh, placate them with a slice of cheese, then try this.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Uh,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): it's a one gallon load up to a thousand nine mil cases or 452 to three cases. It weighs 11 pounds overall.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Uh,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I have a Franklin, I think version of this
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): and
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): it's, they're great. I like them. It's pretty cool. This one is, it comes in 120 volt and 240 volt versions. And they are 172 and 192 respectively.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): guess RCBS just didn't have this before.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Like,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I mean, these are not a new thing, but it's new to them, guess.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): As
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): of today. Released today. New to me, damn it. Exactly.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Kind of just interesting, I thought. Century Arms was named NASGW Importer of the Year. National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers. And I think Canik won some stuff. And the Canik Prime Radian won some stuff. So this was like a pretty big year at NASGW for Century Arms slash Chanik.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): So
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): good for them.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Chanik.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Good
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): for them. I think that's cool. Now, this one's kind of interesting. Silencer Central ships,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): sorry,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Silencer Central launches ship-to-dealer programs connecting customers with nearly 20,000 licensed dealers. So they introduced their new ship-to-dealer program, which enables customers to purchase suppressors online and have them ship directly to one of near... Nearly 20,000 participating FFL SOT dealers nationwide for local pickup and transfer.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Jeremy, are you
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): in
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): that?
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Yes.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Because
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): who does the kiosk? That's Silencer
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Shop?
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. No, no, I'm not Silencer Central.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): You
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): should join this, though.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Because
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): then basically someone just goes and shops at Silencer Central. When they put in their zip code, I imagine it'll probably show them participating SOTs in their neck of the woods. And then.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): guess it'll just show up and you can do the
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): transfer
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): to them, right?
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, but I can do that now.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): With Silencer Central?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah,
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): like I get stuff from them all the time.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): That
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): you order or that people just have sent to you for transfer?
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): That people just have sent to me for transfer.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Okay, well,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): guess this is not news then.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Okay, how about this? Trijicon has introduced their new Credo 1. Sorry, Credo 1-10x28 and RCR Combo, which is their enclosed emitter RMR.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Is
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): that of interest to you guys?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): mean, I know people that like that optic.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): What? Yeah. What? Is this one of them, their MPVOs?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Wait,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): so what's...
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Oh,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): it's just the two of them put together. So I was going to say, I thought these optics... They do. Yeah,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): it's
Nick (reference, not reviewed): the combo. It's now you can buy them at the same time. Exactly. Got it.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): don't know. It's
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): probably
Nick (reference, not reviewed): cool, I guess.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Sure.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I'm
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): trying to think if I know anyone who has a Trijicon LPVO.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): I do. They're decent.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): They're
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): not bad.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Nick (reference, not reviewed): guess what I should say is they are nice. They are good LPVOs from the little bit of experience that I've had with them.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Are they pricey?
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. I believe they are.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Nick (reference, not reviewed): mean,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): there
Nick (reference, not reviewed): are more expensive optics out there,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): but
Nick (reference, not reviewed): they are not cheap either. I think they're in the
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): $1
Nick (reference, not reviewed): ,200 range.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): That's
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): kind of pricey.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah. Yeah,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): but at the same time, for a
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): nicer
Nick (reference, not reviewed): optic, like $1,000 isn't that crazy for a
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): scope. Yeah,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): that's true.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): That's
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): true.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Well,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): the combo's out there, gang. Price has not been released yet,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): but it
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): is what it is. Now, Sig Sauer, really trying to make up for lost time, released their P320 Night Shift,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): which
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): is a specialized variant of the P320 pistol featuring an all-black after-dark aesthetic. Sorry, I just accidentally clicked away from that. With a unique slide milling, night-ready elements, and enhanced ergonomics. So, guys, is this relevant to your interests?
Nick (reference, not reviewed): No, I think this is ugly as fuck.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Dude. Okay, thank you. Because what the fuck?
Nick (reference, not reviewed): It's like they had some leftover parts. They were like, well, we were going to make this and that. And neither of them worked out. So now we have this, that.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Aren't they discontinuing the 320? Like, come on.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yes,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): they're trying to get rid of those last few parts.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Right. This is probably literally for that. It's got like. A blue takedown pin, slide catch, safety, magwell, and
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): compensator.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): like a bad bluing job where they didn't prep the steel right.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. Oh, my God. It's $2,500.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Dude,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): are they fucking drunk? Have they forgotten what happened?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): I got to be honest. This is a no for me, dog.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, that is a little bit crazy to me, I guess. I don't know. Not something that I'm into, but I'm sure there's someone with more money than sense.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): It
Nick (reference, not reviewed): looks like it's been outside and its nose is cold.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): right.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): But like beyond cold, like it's starting to turn blue.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): It's
Nick (reference, not reviewed): like, oh shit, maybe we should get some
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): warmth
Nick (reference, not reviewed): on that slowly before you lose it.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yes.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Okay, here's the thing. Flux Defense has announced the release of their compact... K-O-M-P-A-K-T Universal IWB holster.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): So
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I immediately was like, oh, for the Raider style thing? No.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): No,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): it's just a holster
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): that
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Flux has teamed up with somebody.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): So what? This will work with the chassis or with just the normal? Well, it's not really a chassis. It's a frame.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Oh,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): no. This is literally just for a P365 pistol.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. Or if it's Glock 48, 43X, P365, Hellcat, and more. And it must retain off of the light, which is either the TLR7 sub, X sub, or HLX sub.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Okay.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Interesting.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): If
Nick (reference, not reviewed): it works, that's pretty cool. Universal stuff I'm always a little skeptical of.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): I think if I only had one of those pistols, I would probably buy a dedicated holster.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): But if
Nick (reference, not reviewed): I was switching between some of those pistols, I guess this would be a potentially cool way to do that.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): It's compatible with the anti-matter flux wing
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): and
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): comes in a wide array of choices. Color choices that it comes in are black.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): And it's, what, $60?
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. That's not a terrible price.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): The price is actually one of the better things about it, honestly. It's a good price.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Nick (reference, not reviewed): it looks like it's got one of the discrete carry concepts clips on there, which is nice. I like those.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): They
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): are the best.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): So
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): anyway, that exists. Shooting News Weekly reported that suppressor makers are selling out after last week's ATF guidance release, or the week before, or whatever it was. A bunch of different people. Jeremy, how has suppressor sales been for you?
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): No different. No different.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I asked three other people today. Their answer, pretty much the same.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah,
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): well, I also live in a state where state law hasn't changed anything.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): I think that's a big.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Now,
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): I talk to a lot of people I know that are politically corrected. They're politically connected.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): this is 100% pure scuttlebutt. This is just a rumor that I heard. I heard it from somebody that I trust. I will not tell you who because there is no verifying of this, but I will say that I was told this. The
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Ohio
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): House is coming back in a session around 1110, November 10th, the Edmund Fitzgerald Day
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): and Marine
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Corps birthday, right? Yes. Two reasons to celebrate in November.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): was told that if they have the numbers, they're going to try to pass our Senate Bill 214, which will take suppressors off of the NFA and
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): quote
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): unquote for Ohio purposes.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): It
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): will just correct the language in Ohio law from dangerous ordinance to hearing safety device.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): But
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): if they can get, I think it's two thirds of the house to vote. Yes. In favor of it, they can run it through as an emergency with an emergency clause. An emergency clause will go through the second that DeWine signs it or if he doesn't sign it and just lets it go into law without his signature as soon as it's filed. So what I was told is they're hoping possibly
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): to
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): be able to buy, essentially get suppressors over-the-counter sales in Ohio by Black Friday.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): That'd
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): be good. There's a lot
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): of
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): things that have to fall in line, but we've had pretty good luck with. Pro-gun stuff so far.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): And Nick, you're affected by this as well, right? Like you guys can't just buy them on 4473s either, right?
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Technically, according to state law, but based on
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): what
Nick (reference, not reviewed): we have been told.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Didn't your attorney general come out and say, go for it, we're not going to prosecute people?
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Yep. So I know of a few places that are transferring on 4473s and have done quite a few.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Oh, for anybody that doesn't know, scuttlebutt is a naval term for gossip or rumors.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): just saw that comment.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): If anybody was unaware of that. I've been hearing
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): that
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): my whole life.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): What,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): scuttlebutt? Yeah.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, scuttlebutt is military jargon or naval jargon for rumors or gossip.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Correct.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): I just saw something about PA. Who did I send that to? I saw a... Hold on. You talk. I'm going to find something.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): La la la la la.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): La
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): la la
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): la la.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Where the fuck was this? I don't know. Oh.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): He's
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): looking.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): GOA.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): GOA sent a letter to... The Pennsylvania Attorney General and they said
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): request
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): for confirmation of the proper interpretation of 18 PACS 908 and guidance to the Pennsylvania State Police following Silencer Shop Foundation via ATF and ATF's October 9th, 2026 open letter. Basically, they wrote a letter telling the
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): state
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): of PA that they need to
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Correct their shit.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Make
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): sense? Yeah. Correct your shit.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Oh,
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): yeah. Oh, that was it. Something with Pennsylvania state law, same with Ohio state law, actually, as well. They don't list short barrel rifles and short barrel shotguns, right? They only classify them as sawed off.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Really? So, yeah, literally. Ohio law only deals with, quote unquote, Sawed off firearms. Not factory made short barrels, right? Or manufacturer made short barrels. Only sawed off. Like that's the term that they use. So basically, I thought it was a very interesting approach to get PA's ability to allow short barrels because he says Section 908.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Can you tilt your mic towards your mouth a little bit, please? Oh, sorry. I was getting in front of it because I was reading.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. The text is equally notable for what it leaves out. Section 908 says nothing about short-barreled rifles, any other weapons, or silencers, and it does not reach every short-barreled shotgun. The General Assembly knows how to reach every short-barreled rifle and shotgun when it wants to. In its Uniform Firearms Act, it defines firearms to include any shotgun with a barrel less than 18 inches or any rifle with a barrel less than 16 inches. In Section 908, by contrast, it named only sawed-off shotguns and did not mention short-barreled rifles at all because Section 908 is a
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): penal statute. That narrower language must be strictly construed. Basically, what they're saying is what they're trying to do is say like,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): yeah,
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): it's illegal to just chop the barrel off your gun or your shotgun, but this language doesn't say anything about like if it comes from the factory that way.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): thought it was an interesting approach.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): There's more to that letter. You can go find it and read it. But yeah. Anyways, that's what I heard about PA. That's all I know.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Very cool. Very cool. Have you guys ever heard of Stink? Stuff and Things, Inc?
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. All right. Once or twice. They don't have distended taints.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): No, they don't.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yes.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Wait, what? So, guys, this just showed up today. And this is their cock stalk. Oh, wait, I said it backwards. It's their caulk stalk.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Hey, that's my joke from earlier.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I did it to you again.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Got
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): him.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): You
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): suck. Bitch. Nick loves it when I do that.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): don't really care. Yeah. So anyway, this is a PDW style
Nick (reference, not reviewed): stock. If feel the need to steal my jokes, that just means that they're good.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. I'm like the Dane Cook of this show.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): But
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): look, I put it on
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): this
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): and it's actually a stock.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Wait
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): a minute. Is this an illegal SBR?
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Maybe. No, it's a registered
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): SBR. I got him. So yeah, the caulk stock. Caulk stock.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): It's like a caulk gun, you know, on the back where you have to kind of like push in that tab and then you can rip it out. But it's like a PDW style. And you know what the craziest thing about this thing is? Is A, it is surprisingly sturdy. Feels like great. Doesn't rattle around at all. It is very simple. Goes on the back of a Picatinny rail. So like if you have some kind of receiver that has a Picatinny rail on the back,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): like
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): this one does. It works right on there. It's basically you put it on, tighten the screw down, and it just stays right there. Very easy to push in and collapse it and rip it out at the same time. Very sturdy. PDW stocks are ass expensive, right?
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. I mean, they really can be. It's crazy. Yeah. This one's $150, dude. Okay. That's not bad. Yeah. What's the... Like how... Is it wobbly? No. When it's extended?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): No,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): not at all. It doesn't, like, no movement whatsoever. Like, no torsion.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): What's
Nick (reference, not reviewed): the width between the rails?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Let
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): me eyeball that. I'd say about three inches.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah, I'd
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): say it's about three inches from edge to edge.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): So
Nick (reference, not reviewed): is it, how does it feel when you shoulder it? Is it like... Weirdly wide.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Is
Nick (reference, not reviewed): it a little uncomfortable? Is it decently comfortable?
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): No, just narrate while I do this. I'll show you.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Okay.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): He
Nick (reference, not reviewed): is sliding the mic away.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): He
Nick (reference, not reviewed): put it up to his shoulder.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): He's
Nick (reference, not reviewed): got his cheek
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): down
Nick (reference, not reviewed): on the stock.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Now
Nick (reference, not reviewed): he's pulling it away and pushing it back. He's turning to the side and looking. It appears
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): to
Nick (reference, not reviewed): be reasonably comfortable. I'm sure.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Nick (reference, not reviewed): mean, the thing about PDW stocks is that they are never as comfortable as like a fixed stock.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Right,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): right. It's a concession, right? Like you have to give some stuff up. However, some of them are fucking horrible and some of them are not that bad. So on the horrible to not that bad scale, you would say this is closer to the not that bad side.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Correct. And
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): as
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): long as I keep my beard away from like, you know, where the rods go into either the stock or the.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): The
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): connection.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): As
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): long as I keep my beard away from there, doesn't like grab it or anything.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. I knew where you were going with that. And I was like, hey, that's a thing I hadn't really thought about.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): So
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): like, I really like it. I mean, we shot it. We shot the pre-production prototype at GunCon.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): it was cool. Like, we liked it. We actually thought it was very, very interesting and cool. Oh, wait.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Did
Nick (reference, not reviewed): we shoot it or did we just see it in their booth?
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): We saw it, maybe.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Nick (reference, not reviewed): can't remember, honestly.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I think actually they had it on a gun and it was available to shoot.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Oh,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): okay. So maybe we did shoot it then.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. And like it
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): comes
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): out real quick. You just like rip it out. And I got to be honest, it's actually a little bit more comfortable just because of the width and because it doesn't pull my beard. So
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): well
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): done, sirs.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I'm
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): actually a pretty big fan of it.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Maybe.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Is
Nick (reference, not reviewed): that on the website?
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, but I can get you one.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, I'm kind of interested in this.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, it's surprising. And the price is like one of the biggest things. Plus, 11% off if you use coupon code WLS's life there.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I think it's going to live on this gun, actually.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Oh, here it is. Maximum gun width, inner distance between the rods is 2.3 inches.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Oh, yeah, yeah.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): So
Nick (reference, not reviewed): that checks out that you would say three.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, 100%. Well, yes, obviously.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Nick (reference, not reviewed): probably would have said four.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): To be fair, that's the gun width that can go between the rods. And I was telling you the measurement
Nick (reference, not reviewed): of
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): the
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): full adapter.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): That
Nick (reference, not reviewed): is also fair.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): So
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): anyway, StinkUSA, S-T-I-N-C-U-S-A dot com. Search for the Kalk Stalk, C-A-U-L-K, S-T-A-U-L-K. You can just find it on their website. Nick just found it. If Nick can find it, anyone can find it.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, that's right.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah. And don't forget WLS's life will save you money. Let's see. I hate talking about Taurus, but this is pretty cool. They released the Taurus TX-22 brace ready with the Strike Industries FSA light brace. I'm going to show it to you here. Oh, yeah. This thing's fucking awesome, dude. I'm like, why? Why does this have to actually be cool? Fuck those guys.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Oops. Okay. So, yeah. It is a TX-22 and it's got the little Strike Industries adapter so you could throw a brace like this caulk stalk on it. And it's like $417 for the entire gun and ready for a brace. Everything all in one.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Like
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): actually pretty clever.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): that's rad.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Surprisingly so.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Plus, there are a bunch of FRTs available for those.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): That
Nick (reference, not reviewed): would be a really fun little way. To waste .22 ammo.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): agreed.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): That'd be a fun thing to take to Paris, France and shoot into a crowd.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Dude,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): at this point, fucking. Jesus Christ. Paris is struggle bussing, dude.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): They're fucking invaders. They should all be shot.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): can't wait. I can't wait till the pendulum swings the other way and they all just get slaughtered.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Like they're burning down fucking historic buildings.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): I'm waiting for to straight up burn down Notre Dame. To the ground this time. Again? Yeah, completely. Just down to the ground. Like when it happens, what are the French going to do? They're going to be like, oh, we need more immigrants.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, I've been watching like a couple things going on over there. It's really crazy, honestly. You know what? That'll do. That'll do for the news. I think.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Let
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): me just take one more look at my notes and see if there was anything else. Hornady's new palm reading safes. No thanks. Don't really care. CZ Shadow 2. A company called Eeman, E-E-M-A-N-N, has made a steel plate that will basically adapt a Aimpoint Koa to the Shadow 2 or, you know, anything on that platform. That's pretty cool.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Hornady has introduced their new SBR, Suppressed Supersonic Line of Ammo, optimized for short-barreled rifles and suppressors. Proprietary powder blend and optimized bullet design to achieve supersonic velocities from barrels as short as eight and a half inches. Actually, that's kind of interesting.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): it's called Hornady SBR Suppressed.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): you'll get supersonic stuff out of barrels as short as eight inches.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): That's
Nick (reference, not reviewed): perfect timing.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): It could not be better.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): agree. They got six arc,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): 300
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): blackout, 308, 556,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Okay. You
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): know what?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Color
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): me interested.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah,
Nick (reference, not reviewed): I'm down. Sounds good to me.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): And then, yeah, Beretta Holding has announced oversubscription of Sturm, Ruger & Co. tender offer.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Does
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): anyone know what oversubscription means?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I
Nick (reference, not reviewed): think it's like a thing where you pay
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): money.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): It's where you have two Netflix accounts on accident.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Yeah.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, so, okay.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): I've
Nick (reference, not reviewed): done that.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Beretta Holding announced. That a total of 3,589,647 shares had been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn. Now, they became the new owners
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): of
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): 2,400,184 shares of Ruger stock.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): So
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): they like
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): submitted
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): too much. I don't really know what this means.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Somebody
Nick (reference, not reviewed): who's fancier than us.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Right in.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Look,
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): my job is not to explain it. My job is to tell you that it happened. So it happened. There was an oversubscription. If you know what that means, cool. If you don't, shut the fuck up.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Okay.
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Get on Google, I guess. I don't know. Welcome to... This is not We Like Finance. This is...
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, this is not We're Smart. This is...
Nick (reference, not reviewed): Yeah, this is We Like Shooting. We're literally burning our money. We're basically
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): retarded.

Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): And
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): I would be remiss if I didn't say choose. Dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery,
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): or
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): you'll be Jeremy's slave. Goodbye. We love you. See you next time.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Oh, sorry. Hold on real quick. A Gator sent a $5 honorable rant that said thanks after you answered the PA thing. And then Agent Entropy sent a $1 and said, I have to go to Noonan, Georgia this week for work. Does Blue Alpha have a storefront? No, not that I'm aware of. Go ahead, Jeremy.
Jeremy (reference, not reviewed): I actually had somebody message me today about sending me a couple of 22s and a 4 cents.
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): For the kids. Oh, nice.
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): For
Shawn (reference, not reviewed): Paws' Tots?
Unknown speaker (unknown, not reviewed): Yeah,
