Mark Koernke and Darryl Sivak discussed weapons, firearms maintenance, and tactical preparedness on Weapons Wednesday. They covered the Knob Creek event with militia units from 30 states, highlighted firearms companies donating equipment, and emphasized the importance of accumulating spare magazines and ammunition links for various rifle platforms including MAS rifles, Hakim rifles, and Lee-Enfield rifles. The hosts discussed iron sights versus optical systems, the vulnerability of scopes in field conditions, and the necessity of backup iron sights on modern AR platforms. They provided detailed guidance on range training, target systems, friend-foe identification using unique gear markers, and improvised tactical solutions including electronic jamming and air rifle technology as alternatives to conventional firearms.

Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, is this still the land of the free? Well, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the Afternoon Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Quirky. I'm Darryl Sivak. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on libertytreeradio.4mg.com, pbn.4mg.com, Live 365, then go to Liberty Tree Radio. We're also on AM and FM microstations, CB Bay stations, and ultra net technologies, both east and west of the Mississippi, along with southern and central Alaska. We, of course, are looking here at the date today, which is, Darrell? Ah, the 15th of October, I believe. Which makes it Wednesday, and as we know... Weapons Wednesday. that's right so we are here uh... cover arms today as we have been great time uh... with knob creek by the way uh... wanna say thank you to our friends with uh... magpole for uh... their uh... assistance also uh... one make sure f and g frank's guns uh... they were providing some special support to one of the militia units down there and i understand american spirit arms also i had a number of weapons that were uh... out there for test with one of the other militia units that was on firing range for the three gun shoots down there so that was pretty cool and again american spirits spirit arms and also uh... made much of the guys were working with uh... dpm s so uh... dpm s thank you for the parts that were donated to the uh... let's see we have the south carolina militia there they were using uh... dpm uh... s donated parts panther arms They want to do some field testing. The guys there are supporting the South Carolina militia to a degree. I guess that again they're having some fun there with the weapons that are available. Let's see, who was the other company that we had? Leapers, Incorporated. Leapers, donating to some of the Virginia militia that were there. They were using Leapers front rails on the ARs, handrail systems, and I understand also one of the new Let's see. What is it? BG? RB? I don't know. RGB illuminator systems that are on the scopes available through the same company through leapers. It's kind of cool. They had a bunch of other stuff that was on hand. I got a chance to talk to the guys for a minute. Darryl, that is all that I was doing. Just talking and moving around. We got 6,000 sheets of how to find us information out there in people's hands. We were able to talk with most of the militia formations that were there that were picking up stuff. There were about 30 states represented total. We also had a whole bunch of dealers and people on the range that were getting connected, making sure everybody was up to speed on what's going on. And it's interesting that a lot of the guys, in fact, what was it? The other one was Well, let's see, Zussman Ackerman had a representative there, but I didn't get a chance to talk to the guys. They were busy with the Tennessee militia people and apparently got a chance to put one or two interesting things up on the range. And they were also working with Double Star Corporation. And Double Star, apparently one of the 308's that they had there, is a test model. So that was kind of cool. Anyway, lots of research, lots of experimentation going on. Everybody taking advantage of the ammunition that was on hand, hopefully by the time Sunday closed out, everything was being carried away. that was the idea guys shipping it on down the road carrying it away to make sure that it didn't go back to the central warehouse where it came from. It was really kind of interesting there were a whole bunch of special areas of interest. We had a couple guys that had pretty good buys on the 3-8 ammunition considering the price right now. It's interesting guys if you buy linked ammo you can de-link it. Does everybody understand that? They're a weaf! It was kind of funny. Somebody said, well, it's in like, it's in belt lengths. Well guys, those come apart, okay? So and it's cool, a lot of guys did follow through and pick up the 308 and belt and if they're doing the clink clink clink while they're listening right now, here's what I want you to do. If you have any disintegrating lengths for any kind of machine gun, I don't care what it is, don't let the lengths go to waste. Round them all up. put them in Ziploc bags and then put them into...for instance, cleaned out one gallon metal cans and put a plastic lid on them like you have for use for your popcorn and stuff like that. The reason is we're going to need those links, guys. We have a whole bunch of arms out there that use those links. many allies. I don't care if it's a saw 223 links or if it's a browning links or if it's the mag 58 slash m60 links. Whatever it is guys, put them off in a bag and put them off to the side. Now of course you could ship them if you want to and we'll make sure they get sent to places where they'll be happy. You can ship them to PBN PO box 194. Dexter, Michigan 48130, or Darryl, you'd accept orphan MG links if people had them, wouldn't you? Yeah, yeah, and I'd accept them and I'd afford them on to someone else. There we go. So do you have a mailing address where people can send good stuff like that? Well, that's Darryl Civic, 9931 Williamson Road, Meadville, PA, occupied zone number 16335. That's Darryl Civic, 9-9-3-1, Williamson Road, Meadville, PA, occupied zone number 16335. Excellent. So again, if anybody's got any links, because it's special this weekend, guys, Darryl, hundreds of thousands of rounds of that stuff went out. If not, probably close to a million rounds between everybody. Who knows how many rounds actually left the show. But the cool thing is everybody carried the stuff away and it went on to be tactically dispersed across the country. Now, one of the things I did notice there were actually some pretty good buys on some of the unique rifle mags out there. One of them was the Moss rifle, the Moss Semi Auto. Actually, there's a clutch of these that have come in because the rifles are pretty much no longer available. But if you've got one of the MAS 7.5s or MAS 308s, guys, you want to take advantage of the fact that the mags are out there and that there are spares. Better to have 6, 7, 8, or 10 mags. What you want to do is progressively accumulate them. I know a lot of guys have put these into their 510 program. Guys will have five of the MAS semi-autos on the shelf. They'll put a can of ammo underneath one in 7.5 or in .308. And then you got a battle pack all ready to go with the mags, already prepped there with the spare parts and everything so that you hand out the rifle, you hand out the web gear, you've got the ammo can or ammo cans with ammo per rifle. Congratulations, you're a fire team, you're a squad. Now some people are going to say, well 7.5 French, well that's not a front line cartridge, I wouldn't be able to match up anything. Who says front line? You know we have a lot of support personnel and shall we say secondary or ancillary personnel who are going to need to be armed. Now I will say this, you get hit with a 7.5 round, it's no different from getting hit with a .30-06 or .308 guys. So at the very least if you've got a, say a Moss Rifle or a Squad Load that's confident with Moss Rifles, I'd be willing to bet they can probably pretty well harvest anything they want from the bad guys. You know what I mean? In other words, once I use that 7.5 Franche or the .308 cartridge to engage and neutralize a target, whatever they have is now yours. You can then turn around and reissue the 7.5 rifles to rear area units or another support unit so they can go hunting. We need the arms that are out there to be brought up to spec that means firing pin extractor and ejector if at all possible spare springs if at all possible Lots of spare mags and the whole support system Darryl for these rifles. I'm seeing the stuff showing up It's the same there are some that are harder to get for instance the Hakim rifles There are not that many mags out there one of our allies is working on that project right now We're gonna put 20 round mags for the Hakim's again. Everybody's gonna be really happy with that one uh... the other thing is that there are magazines available for instance for the british lee and feel rifles the number three uh... number in the number one mark three the number four mark one uh... mags were available good quantity for that too and actually a pretty good price uh... darryl stare you are everybody else listed hang out here for a minute this is the intel report we're gonna go to break uh... ltr uh... weapons wednesday On the battlefields of the day and into the future, regimental combat teams of the colonial marines are serving America. Not cheap mercenaries selling out to petty dictators under UN control, the colonial marines are there to protect and defend the Constitution and Bill of Rights of our nation. Not a globalist agenda for world domination. For more information, send us self addressed stamp envelope to... you're it welcome back to a quick and when the uh... have a little technical difficulty in the background i think you're talking about not precondition and the uh... the uh... what about the other french boss rifle something is quite often overlooked in their people don't think about the inside the fact that you use which you have to get something better These would be you take it from your enemy We used to have an old saying that went down 911 for resupply and specify shoe size Exactly that way you could resupply yourself with the necessities of what you need nice boots. There are now. Thank you Give me your pants, your boots, and the keys to your motorcycle. Well, that's one of the other elements of this too is everybody's got stuff they've inherited. Everybody out there listening right now. And everybody tells you, oh no, you've got to get this. No, no, no, no. You don't got to get this and get rid of what you got. If somebody says, well, you need one of these, go get one of those too. I don't have a problem with that. Guns are for buying, not for selling. It's too late in the game, people. You may not, especially when people sell something and think they're going to go get something else. Uh-uh. It doesn't work that way. In between you may get caught flat-footed. You cannot afford that. It is something that just cannot happen. Instead, there's all kinds of good firearms. Like I've said many times, 300 Savage. You know that used to be known when it came out in the 50s as Baby 308. It was the counterpart to the 7.62x51 NATO round as it was adopted. And has all the performance range. The .300 Savage is a good rifle. If you have a .300 Savage out there in whatever configuration, clean it up, fix it up, put whatever iron sights and scope you want on the rifle. It's up to you. Most of them are bolt action, but there's some lever action. And when I say lever action, they're a magazine fed like a regular rifle. magazine-fed lever action in 300 Savage. These rifles are fine firearms. I would not hesitate if you threw it at me for me to put it into service and make it count. The big thing, and one of the other advantages, is that standard 7.62 30 caliber bullets guys will load right up into it so you can make that 300 Savage sing however you wish to. and understand that .30 caliber, well, the 1903 Springfield was known in a 1903 A3 in Korea, was known as the Whispering Death. Why? Because a man with a decent rifle that knows where to put that bullet can put it there every time. And remember, you don't have to miss them 499 times. You need to hit them once. We're not trying to scare them. It doesn't do any good. Okay? The idea is to hit them, put the target down, go on to the next one. And a lot of the doodads and extra gimmicks that are out there, well guess what? If you want them, you'll find them on the battlefield when the time comes. But what's going to happen also, and I'm going to kind of warn everybody about this now, progressively a lot of this stuff is going to disappear off the firearms. Now there are two reasons. Optics are sensitive to everything. In fact, Darryl, going through the woods, you pretty much do everything and anything you can imagine to a scope, can't you? Yeah, you can. You do everything that, and I know I find myself doing it when I was hunting, making sure that I didn't bang, bump, drop, or bump the scope in any way, shape, or form. Kept the water off the lens, kept the snow out of the lens, what have you, just to protect it because it is somewhat sensitive. And once it's gone, well, Okay, that means you've got to revert back to the old tried and true iron sight system. That's why it's nice to have both sets of sights on your gun. The iron sights or... along with the optics because if something goes wrong with your optics and you're in the field you can take those off and you still have your iron sights which means you can still look at your target and still draw a bead and place the bullet where it's going to hurt. That's right and one of the things I've noticed I'm looking at a lot of the different tactical designs that are the brand new new stuff and there aren't any iron sights as standard fixtures that stay with the weapon. Now that's not true of all the ARs, but a lot of people are pushing the flat roof routine, which is, that's okay, that'd be fine. If you accept the idea that for a few pennies more you put an iron sight backup system on that rail, you put an iron sight front post up there somewhere that can either be folded down, I don't care what it is, but if you put something on the weapon it's guaranteed that when you bump it or when that one of the way mhirs most common you don't pay attention because you're being being fired upon you take cover your weapon is taken damage you didn't you didn't expect okay in other words you smacked into the corner of a building you found a break you didn't notice there's a piece of steel bar rerod that you will look at it found the front of your scope it didn't boss the scope off of the rifle but what you didn't know is that it cracked the seal on the system and the vacuum's gone and all of a sudden you've got a different situation there. You're a little nitrogen packed or you're a little vacuum chamber in between the two lenses is no more. And what you're going to have is fogging, you're going to have problems with moisture, progressively, and that right away so you can use that scope for a bit. Now my other solution here has always been to tell you guys buy three scopes for that rifle that match. If you're going to go with an optical system, one of the options is go with a cheaper scope that is decent and buy three of them. Carry one and have the other one already lined up for the rifle. Ideally, if it's a flat roof, one of the cool things is you can actually sight in the scope for that weapon. Mark and knock where it's supposed to be. Put that into a little pelican, a mini pelican case, and sit that in your backpack. Then put the next scope up online. line it up for the firearm, leave it on the roof of the rifle, and that's the one you're going to use. Now in the same breath I would still say, make sure that you have a set of iron sights. Now the reason I bring this up is a lot of guys who bought the flat roofs, you can go to a dozen different companies right now and they make screw-on slash flexible iron sights. They're very lightweight, some are crude as crude can be by comparison to what we would consider accurate, you know like marksman sites. But you know what? Better that than spray and pray. And spray and pray is a real problem when it comes to how much ammunition are you carrying in the field. Contrary to the video games where you punch a number, throw the rifle up over your head and the numbers go ch-chink and you have another 30 round mag and there's 25 more supposedly that you're carrying, I'll bet, plus your rocket launcher, plus a grenade launcher. By the time you're done, supposedly you're carrying the combat weight equal to your physical body weight. You must be pretty slow in the field in that video game. You seem to run pretty much the same speed. Maybe a little slower, but not much. Anyway, that's not reality. That's not how it works in the real world. And the scope, you know, system is nice. It is an option. It will work well for a period of time. But battlefield attrition and lack of resupply means you have must have an iron sight system on hand. Those scopes are going to die. They're going to get smacked. They're going to get broken. They're going to run out of batteries. You're going to have parts that are going to malfunction. A lot of them are being made by subcontractors out of China, Malaysia, or other places. Well guys, they didn't hire the guy that cost the most. You know, it's that minimal bid contractor thing again. Kind of like what, remember they used to warn you in the army, Darrell? Remember your weapon was made by the lowest bidder? Yeah, Mattel Taway Company in the case of the M16, the M16 came out. So here we have a situation where we want to think ahead. Now, we can go another direction here. A lot of your older firearms are precision firearms. We have, for instance, a number of iron sight companies that traditionally, for many years in America, they made precision iron sights, didn't they? Yeah, back in the old days when Winchester first came out with their lever actions back in the 1860s, They even had a tang site that fit on there. It was a micrometer dial for both windage and elevation and a peep site on it. In that day, that was the actual marksman's preference for a lot of people who actually knew how to bring that weapon to the service and put that bullet where they wanted it. So we're looking at a situation here and now probably one of the other examples and leapers by the way I mentioned them They make a number of different iron sites either a whole carry carry handle rail that you can bolt right back on in other words you can tighten right back on to your your picking any rail on the top of your AR which kind of defeats the purpose behind why you took the carry handle off in the first place I guess but also a nice way to protect the system and still offer another scope mount fixture and But there's a number of different drop down type front and rear rail systems that are readily available. They're inexpensive by comparison to, well let's put it this way, not having anything at all. So that's an option. That's a direction to move in. But they're not the only company. There are many, many others out there doing the same thing. Shop around, do a search, find what fits your wallet, and still fit your firearm. But do not hesitate and do not wait. One of the other places you can go is M&A Parts Incorporated. That's M. and a parts incorporated their telephone number is 847-550-8246 that's 847-550-8246 one more time 847-550-8246 you got an AR? I would say they have close to a dozen different site combinations in iron sites that will fit your needs guys So take a look, see what they have available, find out what's going to work for what it is that you're carrying in the way of one of these more modern arms, and apply accordingly. Now there are micro-adjustable sites out there that have been in place, as we said, made for competition and also that can be used for long range engagements. I was taught to use iron sites out to a minimum of 300 yards, but with the M14 I was trained to use an iron site out to 565 yards. That was considered battlefield, in other words, battlefield engagement, not battle site zero, but 565 yards with iron sights with the M14. When I was training with the M16, we were taught to engage targets out to 300 yards and then 500 yards as maximum range. But 300 yards was considered to be normal battlefield engagement range with the M16 in its regular configuration, A1 or A2. So don't tell me it can't be done because I've done it. Okay? Many many many many many many many many many many times I can't count how many rounds I put through an M14 and I sure as hell can't count how many rounds I put through an M16. And in both cases, utilizing iron sight, I put down the target consistently at 300 to 500 yards. Now I know all the arguments about energy. Don't need to tell me. The AR-15 is not my choice for a 500 yard shot. But on the other hand, give me an M14, an M1 Garand, and I'm going to make you more than just nervous at 500 yards. And I will hit you at 1,000 yards. And that is with iron sights. especially with some of the arms that are available out there. Yes, we can do it. What bothers me is people telling me they can't when we trained a whole army, actually more than one army, several armies over the years, to engage at those ranges. And I would challenge you, I want you to take a look at the basic performance and instruction of U.S. soldiers in 1918. I'm serious about this. I want you to take a look at how we were training people back then guys and all of a sudden supposedly They only had an eighth grade education or less guys. Okay, well different world then and now I guess we'll be back in three minutes here on Liberty Tree radio You got Daryl and mark its weapons Wednesday Before God I spread his creed My rifle and myself are defenders of my country We are the masters of our enemy We are the saviors of my life Until there is a- Why come ye to the red coats? What mind you madness fills In our valleys there is danger And there's danger in our hills Oh, hear ye not just singin' out of the view Though wild and free Soon you'll know the ringin' of the rifle from the tree Oh, the rifle Oh, the rifle In our hands we'll prove no trifle You may ride a good late speed You may know a stern a master You forward much with speed But you'll learn to back much faster When you meet our mountain boys And the leader jolly star Glad you make what little noise And always hit the mark Oh the rifle Oh the rifle In our hands we'll prove no trifle Okay. And we're back. Ville Street in Greenville, PA. It's 110 table show. I'm going to call in for reservations and possibly be there to sell some of my leftover wares that I have and hopefully stop by and say hello. Again, that's Greenville, Pennsylvania, Knights of Columbus Banquet Hall at 170 Clark Street, October 25th and 26th and 110 table show. For other information, if you want to call for information, maybe you want to rent some tables. It's number is 716-5910. Again, the number is 716-569-6810. Again, that's at Knights of Columbus Banquet Hall at 170 Clark Street, Greenville, Pennsylvania. Something else that I heard Mark talking in the first hour about target practice and stuff. One of the things that behoove you to get, to use for a target, would be the silhouettes. The man-sized silhouettes or the reduced silhouettes. Because when you're shooting down range at a target engaging the enemy, he's going to look like a silhouette out there. And this will give you a psychological advantage of being able to practice shooting at and thinking that it's just another silhouette that you're firing at. Some people say psychological advantage is a lot of boahooey, but when it comes time to defend yourself, everybody's going to be a little hesitant the first time or two. And this way you can help you overcome that. To hesitate, get yourself some band size silhouettes. They have two different sizes out there. They have the regular size. I wish I could think of the numbers. It's been a while since I've had to use those, but they have a reduced size too. A little closer work. Practicing, it doesn't hurt to seal the target. Now, one of the things too, a good point there, Darrell, with silhouette targets is remember you can use what is called a thousand inch range, 25 meters slash 25 yard range. But the thousand inch range and specifically rescaled targets, which the military has made for years. There's a number of different sheets out there that are available. that allow you to practice at maximum range. Yes, we know you still have to reach farther out, guys. You don't have to tell us about all the advantages and disadvantages. Actually, disadvantages are what most people go, yeah, but better to get some time on the range and practice and understand and have a relative perspective and understanding of what your target's going to look like at the expected ranges. Then to get caught flat-footed. Well, I was firing at plays for so many years, et cetera, et cetera. Well, that's nice. And those are still, that's good. All range time is good range time. But as we pointed out in the last exercise that took place here with Houtari in Michigan, is the guys came up with a series of scenarios to include placement fire against a specific moving objective. And again, they did a really good job. Mike Lewis, by the way, shot best of the group, actually. He was one of the few to hit the target in a vital area and would have technically taken it down. But the target was a moving mobile target, moving laterally across the range, the engagement area, for the marksman that was to engage the target. Now guys, you can't get any better than that and there are a number of ways that you can improvise mobile targets. Again, a little hint here. When you go to the gun shows, there are guys that have a number of older PMs or FMs, TCs or whatever, on rifle marksmanship. We produce one right now that's for the militia commanders and for the militia S3s or training officers that are out there. One of the things to remember is that there was a whole series of mechanical systems we used to put up online to simulate movement, to simulate specific targets at specific ranges, and it doesn't have to be with electronics. You can use cable and rope and wood and some hinges. In fact, save all the old door hinges you can. They're awfully convenient for doing pop-up targets. Okay, think about it. And you can counterweight them. You pull on a lever. A couple of different pulleys help to pop the target up and the target is counter weighted so at a given point all you do is let go of the lever and the target is automatically dropped back down. It's a cool simple system but it creates a situation where you can control it from the range with a handful of levers and pop a target up at 25 meters then drop it, pop a target up at 75 meters then drop it, pop up a target at 200 yards, all of a sudden whoa changing direction there, drop it You can also put these on sliding platforms so that they will actually move left or right and don't come up consistently in the same location with each relay. This is also a good thing because if you shoot over and over and over and over and over and over again with a hundred men in one place, well, Darrell, you're going to kind of cut a trough in front of that if you keep missing, aren't you? Yeah. I had a backstop in my backyard when I was doing gunsmithing work and I used to have targets set up at heights on the front of it, take a can and sit down there at the bottom of the backstop and just shoot at it. The idea was not to hit the can, but to hit right underneath it and bounce it all over the place. In the process of doing so, I created quite a good size pothole, if you want to call it. Kind of IDs where the target's going to pop up, which is what we got to do. That's why you want to think about mobility and flexibility with your target systems and with your pop-ups or whatever system you're using. It's not that complicated. Think the process through. Another thing is keep the clutter off of the range. The idea behind this is to make it more realistic. That doesn't mean you can't have battlefield debris. In fact, one of the things I'd recommend, if you've got junk and material that you can put out there that simulates what you would normally be seeing in the field, extra pieces of equipment that are fragged. I mean clothing I don't throw away because we put it in the camo nets guys. But there are pieces of rain gear, junk, spare boxes that have already been damaged, crushed or broken. Save them up and deploy them with the equipment that's going to be used on the range to simulate battlefield detritus etc. This is a good idea. This helps to give you a feel for how it is you're going to have to pick your target off the battlefield. So there are a number of different options here with regard to range configuration. This is also a great way to train a lot of your people for shoot, no shoot, because there's been a big question about that. How do we ID friend and foe? Well guys, in your theater of operations, this varies from command to command. Why? Well we don't want the other side to understand who to shoot and not shoot necessarily. make them hesitate. We know what ID markers work and which ones are ineffectual. Probably the best example of that is unique gear that we can identify. And everybody goes, huh? Well, if you have a piece of equipment that isn't in service anymore and it is something that is unique to its camouflage or its configuration, when you see it, you know it's friendly. Okay, but it's something that won't jump out at you necessarily unless you know what to look for. Now this can be web gear, this can be a piece of particular type of cloth or material, it can be a certain piece of equipment that's attached to the gear. We use this on a regular basis to identify friend-fo or unit identifier. In other words, I know that if Daryl's carrying a certain piece of equipment, he's with the company. If you're not carrying that piece of equipment, you're probably with another company, another platoon. We actually mark platoons this way, and we've done it sometimes surreptitiously. We outfit a unit in a certain way. We know who those people are by the type of equipment that they're wearing. by the type of gear that they're actually using. This is a plus plus because you can't just go, quick we need to see the the militia we need to grab this this and this. Really? Well it ain't going to be that easy because this this and this aren't just readily available, readily grabable off the shelf. It's time-consuming and by the time they get what they think they need we've already changed to other material and equipment. Oops, you see how that works flexibility. These are like a phonetic code for tactical identification You and your allies know what they mean the rest of the scumbags don't have a clue until it's too late Now another thing basically I'm gonna tell you something guys every one of you out there listening needs a black uniform You need a black helmet cover for your helmet and you definitely need a roll of white electrical tape and white Duck tape. Darryl, why would I need those tapes? Oh, I would imagine so that you can put certain letters of the alphabet on your uniform so that you could maybe possibly infiltrate the enemy. Remember, shoot no shoot means whoever can figure out what the target is first fastest wins. So I don't have to be perfect, but let's say that I'm moving into an area of operation. I spot check with my recon of we ID. Certain, and by the way, a roll of yellow would be good too, a roll of yellow electrical tape. And all of these are made off the shelf, guys. There's no special purchasing. You can go right to electrical suppliers, you can go to your hardware, and you can find all the colors off the shelf. You do not have to be perfect. You have to be just good enough in general configuration that when somebody looks, it's a question mark for them, but it's not a question mark for you. Pop, pop. That's all you need. That much faster, kids. or POP and it's done and on to the next target POP or engaging and again you get the first rounds downrange what did I say earlier about marksmanship and the ability to hit first fastest hitting first and hitting accurately wins everything else in the way a deception is used it includes electronic interference guys yeah well they got this and they got that you know what every piece of equipment that cost millions to deploy is typically defeated by thousands of dollars worth of junk. Not even that. Does everybody understand this? That's what's comical. I never hear about this. Well they've got this. Well then you defeat it with these countermeasures and they only cost pennies. Well but they've got radio. Blah blah blah. Okay well then electronic jamming, broad frequency, broadband, everything is cluttered. By the way, any of you out there know that one of the best ways to jam technology is bagpipe music, guys. Oh man, talk about to sound like you're squeezing the cat out there to death. And this is true. How many of you guys that have been in signal communications know this? that music actually is terrible especially if it's something that has all kinds of sub harmonics and the bagpipe is perfect for this. Ask a guy who plays a bagpipe how many different instruments technically he's playing at the same time. He'll love to explain to you the technology. That music, just like several other types of music, are perfect because they have several different tiers of noise that create clutter. This clutter creates deception or can block the transmission of an aggressor, eliminating that possible dimension on the battlefield that gives him whatever he thought might have been an edge. And don't tell me about encryption and all the other BS with the radios guys. It makes no difference if you can't get through. You see the point? And the dirtier your transmitter is that you use for blocking enemy signal communications. In other words, the wider the band and the heavier the output, the better it's going to do. And by the way, you set it up and deploy it separately. You make it a bullet magnet. It serves two purposes. draws enemy fire away from you and breaks up tactical communications locally. Woo-hoo! Two bullets, kids. And they gotta waste ammunition and ordnance trying when they want to dispose of it. When they do that, fine. As soon as it's offline, click. The next one remotely comes on and it's somewhere else totally separate from everything else that's being done. Wow! You see how that works? Improvise, adapt, and overcome. Same is true with enemy operations when it comes to your fire power people. Placing it where it's needed is more important than having piles of it. Now, I'll go back to the basics here real quick because we're going to go to break here in a second, I know. But for all of you listening, look and evaluate the battlefield situation that developed in southern Lebanon when the Israelis tried to go up against Hezbollah here just a little while ago. They don't talk about it, and you'll notice they're not dwelling on it for a reason. The Israelis had piles of everything. Piles of all of the best America has, by the way, because Bush gives it to them fast and he does to our troops, okay? In fact, buckets of it. To include everything from strategic signal communications, satellite observation and disruption, on down the line to the, well, the Israelis boast that they claim they're using the best infantry weapons money can buy. And they want you to buy them. Except that, well, I don't think I buy too much Israeli stuff right now. They got their rumpus kicked. And they got their rumpus kicked by guys using hand-me-down technology, mostly saved up from 20, 30, 40, and 50 years ago. So, hmm, that kind of proves out a point. Heavier, heavier infantry arms versus all the other stuff. Ooh, boy. The new toys and technology don't work every time. We'll be back in three minutes. Darryl and Mark, Intel Report, here on...

We are back ladies and gentlemen this is the last block of the intel report for our two hours in the afternoon we got Darrell here. Darrell you actually have had a chance to see a lot of weapons in service and there's a couple that are actually quite affordable and very very serviceable that people can overlook isn't that true? Yeah for those of you that don't have a ton of money to buy that thousand dollar AR-15 or 2014 or whatever New England arms makes a handy rifle in several different calibers I think they've been bought out by Marlin, but they still Out there and available. I was in a guy that might shoot there was a seven-year-old boy with a New England arms 2 23 5 in a row Well one of the advantages these are closed system. They were basically the H&R single shot top break, right? So the cool thing about this guy's they're very quiet. There are no moving parts as a placement shooter, especially One shot and then change positions. This is a nice little package and they make them in many different calibers. They also make them in all the standard military calibers. .308. 7.62x39 Russian and .223 but they make it in .300 Savage .243 Winchester and there's a few others that they were making in the commercial calibers. All very fine flat shooters. So this is a good option and again you can dress it up however you like. They made it with iron sights, you can add a scope, you can put whatever scope you want on it and for a placement rifle again camouflage it out address the sight issue depending upon the shooter's preference. You can cheek rest it. In other words, you can also put a flexible bipod, adjustable commercial bipod on this rifle. And you're looking at a placement round weapon that's economical and yet very, very serviceable. It's going to get the job done. So that is a good idea. And it also comes with both with length and with weight of the barrel. So perfect combinations there. Another thing before we go, everybody get your pen and paper out. Now again, here's another contact point for something I want you all to scope out. Oh, pardon the pun there. We're talking accurate rifles here. AirHog. A-I-R-H-O-G dot com. AirHog.com. AirHog.com. A-I-R-H-O-G dot com. Phone number is 888-871-1722 888-871-1722 One more time 888-871-1722 airhog.com A-I-R-H-O-G dot com A-I-R-H-O-G dot com air hog. Just give you a hint, the Austrian army outfitted its entire military with muzzle loading air rifles that were effective combat arms in the year 1802. Now, what would happen, Darrell, if somebody took the paintball technology and all of that new space age metallurgy and made a rifle that could kill hogs at normal rifle engagement ranges. What? Talk about not needing powders. And no flash, very little if any sound, and guys air is free. Uh oh, think about that. And you can add a scope. Oh my goodness, think about the options here, Daryl. Yeah. rifles to maybe even artillery pieces. That's right. In fact, let's tie two things in. I've mentioned many times over the years, discarding Sabo concepts applied with a locking system semi-auto air mechanism like what you see on the nail gun mechanisms. Does everybody understand if you just scaled that up you could go to 20 millimeter, 30 millimeter, 50 millimeter, 75 millimeter, 90 millimeter. Purely a matter of how creative and whether or not you can get your hands on a cut tank barrel. If you have a 90 millimeter or a 105 tank barrel that's been cut into three or four pieces, you don't need that much barrel people to get to velocity. That's happening almost instantly. and you're able to dump something downrange, discard it, remember with a discarding Sabo Dart you can be bringing the velocities up to some unique and extreme ranges. However, in standard rifle you're looking at a very, very desirable combo here. Now let's take the air tank system and replace it with a hose system off of a compressor unit, say on a vehicle What could you do with something like that? Increasing pressure, beefing up the system, and mounting it on a fixture so that it is very, very stable. Darrell, wouldn't that mean that it would also become very, very accurate? I was just thinking, there are some what they call 30 penny spikes out there that if you latch your hands onto those, 30 penny spikes, Just cut the head off of them, you would have a ready supply of steel projectiles. Think about it guys. So anyway, just trying to be creative here. Now here's another thing. Discarding Sabo Slugs, Remington Type, which originally were BRI safety slugs. You take that discarding Sabo system, you make that your magazine mechanism. That's all the magazine carries is the discarding Sabo fixture with the 50, with the 500 grain hourglass slug. Your air system is a ram feed system and so you literally have come up with a caseless ammunition weapon system. All you engineers out there or creative people who want to have some fun take a tank mounted system as into a large pressure tank or to a compressor system vehicle mounted. Take a magazine system that will feed 25, 30 or 50 of these Sabos one after another after another with no sound, no felt recoil per se, no flash. I'd say that'd be pretty unique wouldn't it, Darrell? Nothing to follow, nothing to find, no place to trace. You know what? The Napoleon was so frustrated with effective air rifle fire that he made it a death sentence for anybody who was captured carrying one. The Austrians built them in 1800. Outfitted whole units, so did the Spanish military. The Spanish military was not as competent as Napoleon's troops in conventional combat, but as the ultimate guerrilla weapon, The air rifle proved to be incredibly lethal and incredibly desirable. No way to know where the bullet came from. DuPont didn't like it because they couldn't sell more bullets, could they? We're at the top of the hour, we gotta go. As always, God bless the Republic. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We're on the march. Don't forget to hug your rifle. That's right. Make sure you remember. Don't worry it is. We got Cordy coming up with us after the end of our 8 o'clock program. New program up on LTR guys. Stay tuned here. We'll be back at 8 o'clock. But meantime, lots more programming on Liberty Tree Radio. Thank you, Darryl. You're welcome.
