Summary
Mark Koernke discussed weapons and preparedness on Weapons Wednesday, November 13, 2013. He covered edged weapons including machetes, swords, and improvised blades, emphasizing utility and affordability for self-defense and survival. He then shifted to handguns and revolvers, recommending K-frame Smith & Wesson revolvers, .38 Special ammunition, speed loaders, and reloading practices. Koernke stressed resource allocation in combat scenarios, scavenging ammunition brass, and treating law enforcement as mobile supply sources. He concluded with appeals for donations to keep the Micro Effect satellite system operational.

We now return you to the regular schedule program already in progress. Hi folks, Ronnie McMullen here for Life Change Tea. Everyone loves us for our all natural tea that helps you with your health in so many ways. But many of you maybe don't know about our other beneficial products that can get your body on track and promote awesome health. Check out our article for Immune Boost, our sea vegetables for balancing your the next video. With all the intentional changes happening in our air and water, we need all the help possible. Trust me, heavy metal poisoning is happening. Get equipped, get ready, get the T. That's GetTheT.com. It was the month of May up in Georgian Bay near the mouth of the Musquash River. Where the bears prowl and the coyotes howl and you can hear the osprey scream. Back in 99 we were cut in pines, letting it down the stream. The gray came to boost the tough, and they set out. Gentlemen this is the second hour of the morning. Intelligence report are currently One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, on Micro-Effect Network of the Morning, also on AM&FM Microstations, CBVations, and UltraNet Technologies, and west of the Mississippi, along with Alaska, we're on the Hallmark Network on the Eastern Seaboard from the top of Maine! Yeee- covered by now and getting ready to do the old hibernation thing all the way to the bottom of Florida where the fiddler crabs are contemplating their belly buttons or yes they are if they had belly buttons and they're chanting their mantra while they're looking at the sun of course across the ark of the Gulf of Mexico Louisiana with him there. Hey morning dog you black and you back and see I am the Texas Oklahoma big chunk of Nebraska the missile silos if you wait long enough to develop and Wyoming this morning good over there on the horizon. And then the left coast where Feinstein is a vomit that's wretched, stench and filth across fine and colon. Well, turning back to the east, we sweep across the plains with the sun in our eyes, the Smokies, restaurant crews, grammar teams, OK teams, and the Ma Bell Grammar Consortium of retired telecommunications workers. Golden Spike, now it's the 13th. But I'm gonna do this. Good morning and a happy birthday to our three ninety-year-old telecommunications operators. Actually, they're 92, 91, and I believe the other is... turn a 90. So, it's tic-tac-toe there. All of the girls... Well, actually, correction. No, I'm off by one. I think 91, 91 and 93. There we go. 91, 91, 93. That's it. Anyway, all of the girls are there. saw everything from telegraph the post-stage 2013 way right now it's like yeah we have the space age now but now we got the junk afterwards with failure left and right and incompetence rewarded over and over and over again on a massive scale pretty sad isn't it? Yeah the post-age we used to actually do things now America doesn't know how to do it anymore anyway well here we are it is a beautiful sun shiny clear day The sun's beaming down, hopefully it's gonna cook off a little bit of that dust and we have the way of snow. For everybody out there, it is Weapons Wednesday of November. It is the 50 year Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K-2013 calendar or Mayan. Well, maybe not. If you're into that, I guess. If you're into the capitalistic numbers thing and you're gonna start worshipping that too, 13 10 13 course now it's not a matter without we believe it if you gotta remember there's a whole bunch of nutcases out there who do worship that BS You've got kabbalistic, you know crazies out there all over the place Tucson shooter had a little cab had a kabbalistic altar in the backyard He was a Jewish Kabbalist know the Kabbalah and he was a raven loon Wow, what a surprise most of those are into the Kabbalah are raving loons. They're from the Babylonian occupation not teeth as crazy as the day is long and they want to sacrifice you. That's what it's all about with Crazy Town. Anyway, 13-10-13, it's weapons Wednesday, 11-14, the last range. Who is the 9mm carbine shotgun? Hey buddy, Jeff, what you see on the shelf there? I'm not gonna give you the plasma rifle. How did you know I wanted the plasma rifle? Anyway, when we get plasma rifles, we'll be working on those too. Meanwhile, let's work what we got. Make sure we know how to use it and use it well. it is weapons when they were on edge weapons uh... but they've got a sponsor but they should be however i will point out that w w w dot the udk dot com is a place where you can find a lot of cheap boy that are filler blades you know everybody else will part of our small data still in the black and you can tell me that all day and i understand here's the thing you have utility or work blades and then you have your personal okay personal weapons You need others. It's kind of like having guns. You can't share guns and you can't share battle axes. So having a brace of something that's less expensive on hand so you can hand them out for a little bit of mayhem. Good idea. Now they do have something here. I mentioned these machetes actually. It's a good little short sword to actually have as a brace of weapons on the shelf in your 510 program. Again, a simple way to have something that you can hack and cleave with. They also have tomahawks, and they're fairly cheap tomahawks as far as price goes. Not real fancy, but they will work. So you can get some hacking and cleaving weapons on the shelf and a quantity of them. Okay? Again, here's an idea. If you're going, well, Mark, I don't have the money. Yeah, you got some steel around. False fails, hey, start being creative. Grab yourself some slab pieces of oak out there from one of the local shops. You usually find somebody who's got wood, you know, they do hardwood. and grab yourself some steel stock, get yourself a grinder, or get to a grinding wheel, make up some short sores, make up some blades that you can hack and chop with. The farmer I used to work for used to make his own machetes, and we would do all of our clearing. Every time they'd start to get dull, we'd go back up to the shop, grind everything back down, because we made it about a steel stock, and the handles were made with a couple of brass hard pin rivets that we'd put together, and we actually drilled through the shaft. and put a couple pieces of slab wood on each side, hammered the rivets down. Then what will we do? Oh, we get the grinder out, ground out the handle, made some knocks for our fingers so that we have little grooves there so we wouldn't slip as easily. And then grind down the blade. That's kind of crude. Yeah, but you know what's really funny? That was two steps above most of the stuff from the pre-middle ages. I actually have a better sword. Yeah, amazing enough though, we can make them about a 3 inch high blade, a deep blade. Make it out of 1 8 inch stock and those things last for a long time. Plus, you have good cleaning part, great exercise too. You practice at chopping, especially where you have to defoliate, say, drainage ditches or canals where you've got build up brush hogs. Don't get in there, you've got to physically get in there and start whacking some stuff away so you can use your cross-bridges and stuff to go from one piece of property to the next. Oh yeah, plus it's a nice thing to carry just in case you need something to clean somebody or something with. So we had all kinds of fun. That old Dutchman taught me a lot of cool things about making junk. Not that my brothers didn't help, my dad didn't know how, he certainly did too and taught me a lot of cool things about making stuff like this and you could do it too. However, the Chinese in this case built some inexpensive stuff that actually looks like a blade. and it gives you something that stashed in many places the other thing is weapons stashed in many places is a good all around your house things can be put out of sight and become a chief by the way which means you can see also see she is sir stapled the things some of the things of the fishy is right there stuck in the wall and all you do is reach behind the couch and walk there you go you've got some ready to go in that fight machine all you can have an all kinds of places in fact or in again, brace and an armory five or ten of these are a good idea fighting blades that are a machete length sword or whatever you want it's a personal thing whatever you think is cool but I would take into consideration you want a solid shaft don't want any knocks or something can break and if you got it so it works as more than one kind of tool that's better still that's why I love these sawback machetes a utility tool. Now they make a buccaneer blade model and they make a cheap one too. They make it more expensive. Ontario makes a really nice one. Ontario Knife Company make a really nice buccaneer type of hacking and chopping machete. And what I mean by buccaneer is it has the round knuckle duster grip. but it's made out of Zytel nylon, made out of plastic, not a problem. The advantage of that though is when you're working with a sawback. Now most of the stuff you'll see in WWI were straight grips and they had a limited guard which allows for not slipping. But remember guys, if you start getting tired, fatigued, That buccaneer blade means you've got your hand inside the grip and it's restricted. And if you're going to use that sawback, the advantage is that you can't slip over the blade on the other side of the sawback. Oh yeah, that's right. There's a sharp blade there. We don't really want to get cut by ourselves now. But either way it'll work. And for $12.99, they have these War Hunters sawback blade machetes. $13. They come with a sheet. Nothing fancy. I ain't telling you that this is not a Custom and you know high carbon, you know ninjas do it. No, it's not it's a working blade. It's a Utility blade it's something you can have around you can beat chop and hack with as needed again, that's item number 17 BK 18006 and they're $13 apiece and for the price you can afford to have a few laying around Nice utility blade to have stuck in your utility emergency kit or whatever. When your time comes, you want to throw it in the vehicle, you have more than one of these, it'll really be nice. But if you can see something a little cheaper and get more of them, fantastic. There are working machete blades out there, traditional machete that you see for the cane fields. Now, those vary in length and are up to 22 inches. 22 inches is not a bad blade, but it's a little, 22, 24 is a little unwieldy for a lot of people. The 18 or 17 inch plates are more in the balance and arm length necessary for most of the work you're going to do. But if you found a better price or if you do build your own, fantastic. But start at make sure you've got edge weapons around. Utility edged weapons are awfully handy. OK, by the way, I got something really cool here. This these are kind of neat only in those by accident. I got a couple of stainless steel. letter-opener and they're very very uh... elven elven in nature from the cool thing i keep looking at these because they're all or not or metal but only take a second to put a little bit of an edge on these and these are awfully handy just have laid around again if a dagger slash a sticking blade is it going to be something you're gonna fight a war with non-stop not even things you have laying around but you know what you reach for you grab it you thrust it into somebody he goes about six inches you make sure it goes all the way that chances are going to slow somebody down a little bit what do you think you get the grip so something to think about their again all kinds of stuff you know we even joke about butter knives but i'm not going to sneeze at once it sharpens in fact one of the guys years ago uh... well actually more one of the guys used to be guys to make a decent little fighting knife a lot of guys showed how to make kit knives out of the Mess kit utility knife. You ever seen a mess kit knife? Hell half you've never seen a mess kit set of silverware. I know that even though you were in the military. Half the time they didn't have them. But if you do run into them and if they did issue them out, a lot of guys took the mess kit knife, made a set of grips for it, and made a nice little utility combat knife out of them. Simple, short blade, but it's something they could stick in another sheet and on their web gear. and on their person and if you needed to stick somebody or cut somebody with it you had something that was actually pretty well made stainless steel. In fact, back when not much was made out of stainless steel but mess kit knives were stainless steel. So they were a pretty cool little solution and again were they cheap? Oh hell yeah you got them for nothing government hand and mouth and if you had to pay something for them you couldn't even give them back when the time came then no big deal cost you a couple of pennies if you doubt maybe 60 cents if you had to pay you know that again they would make a pay for it but what you do is you go over there used to be used to be on bases you had properties actually was a vehicle with a property supply was not it was actually an extension of quartermaster and you could buy anything the army had for what the army paid for it so it was pennies for things if you went over to no clothing sales instead of over to uh... say the px if you knew about it and a lot of people didn't necessarily find out about it You could buy anything from web gear to a berets to whatever it is that was issued for the moment. It was available there. Traditionally we do is when I go to base, anytime I'd be around the different bases, I have a shopping list from the other guys I served with when I worked as an inspector. And if they had a clothing sales site as part of Quartermaster, and not all facilities had, it was only mostly the bigger ones, although some of the older bases always had. I'd have a list of ribbons to buy for guys because they needed to make up another Class A uniform. Well yeah, because you see, if you went and bought ribbons of the PX, they were like $1, $2, and $3 apiece. But if you went to clothing sales, it was $0.08, $0.09, and $0.04, and $0.06. How they came up with the price on these was a matter of what era they were done. And a lot of guys were Korean War vets and World War II, but you know, some were even World War II vets. or, you know, again, Vietnam vets and they needed to replace their ribbons, promotion, you wanted to dress stuff up or clean stuff up. So I'd have an envelope with cash in it for the person, they usually give me about $3, $4. And we go over to clothing sales and I would pick the ribbons and pay for them and put them in the envelope and they had the guy's name on it and I'd seal it shut. And that way I didn't have to worry about bookkeeping. I knew exactly what I got for each of the guys, exactly as they asked. take their little list, put it back in the envelope and that way if they said, I didn't tell you to get this and say, well, there's the list, there's what I pulled. And you could pick this stuff all up. It was, it was like a big yard sale on the inside. They weren't fancy. It was just a basic quarter master storage site. And that's all been done away with, I'm sure you, the racketeers being where they are, you'd have to punish the military, but they pay more as is typically the case. In fact, they have to, you have to try and rip off the soldier as much as you can. If you're the stinking skanks in the white house now. You know, look what they did with the commissaries. Never done in the history of this military and that bad-eared piece of crazy nut, that nutcase piece of gutter trash to punish the soldiers. Shut down the commissaries so that their families would have less money to work with and so they could punish and hurt the families of the soldiers and the veterans. Bad-eared piece of trash in the outhouse with his crazy loon queers. They fought that up. That didn't come out from the Department of Defense. That came from the faggots in the outhouse. You better remember that too. I have no use for that piece of trash. Well, I don't use it for him anyway. I said, no, I listen to the idiot. Just put the teleprompter up there in front of me and I'll be happy. I don't need to hear that fool. He'll flap his lips. The trash can't put two words together without somebody else writing them. Anyway. uh... other weapons will real quick hand guns guys i have been looking around and you know as i warned you but it's not it's not a surprise but we're creeping towards the two hundred dollar mark for everything and or i'll actually pass that many cases it but there are there as far as affordable either surplus or stuff out there that should be reasonably priced there are some revolvers and i would point out i do not know center fire systems actually has them in stock i do like the k frame smith and wesson revolvers if you guys have a k frame revolver don't you get rid of it all there's a bunch of advantages to the to the revolvers any revolver you've got i don't care what it is don't you sell any guns don't you sell any handguns ever selling handguns whatever you've got especially if they're liberty arms and they're not paper that you got a prong kul from uncle fred you mean idiot to take those asylum seriously You got a bunch of Liberty handguns that nobody knows where they are uncle Fred bought them fill 40 or 50 or 60 or 70 years ago Well only you'd be an idiot to sell them hang on to them But here's the thing those those K frame revolvers guys they shoot straight They will you've got plenty energy even with a standard 38 special use a wad cutter load or a semi wad cutter now It was the wad cutter for close defense in a house when the bullet hits a wall is gonna stop That was one of the reasons that the wadcutter, even though, well Mark, it's not a super duper, you know, cart-mouth, hollow point, blah, blah, blah. If you want to spend money and do that, you go right ahead. But if you tell me that you're poor and you don't have a lot of money, I'm going to tell you right now that that wadcutter load is going to deliver all the energy. It's a flat face, big slug of lead. When it hits its target, it delivers the energy completely. Now, do you want a super duper cart-mouth for in-house close use? Here's the thing learn to reload and do what's called a reverse wad cutter Well most wad cutters have what is called a bell or cup on the inside on the base to help deliver energy and to help project the energy appropriately To give you know take take advantage of all the thrust of the explosive charge in the cartridge Well if you take and reload if you reload and you take and get a whole bunch of wad colors You gotta watch for the water summer flat base summer cup get a batch of the cup base, wad cutter 38 special, 357 diameter bullets. Turn the wad cutter around so that the cup is up front. Now, you wanted a hollow point, let me tell you what's gonna happen when that 38 wad cutter hits something. Those soft lead lips are gonna splay out to about 50 caliber on the edge of that bell, and every ounce of energy that's behind that bullet is going into the target. Yeah that works your objective is shock trauma you know you want to hurt them bad. Now the good thing is that if that bullet hits a wall it also cups you know again it sways out and typically it will slow down or stop much more quickly in a friendly you know where you are in a friendly environment and maybe you're a little panicked and you miss. If you miss, this bullet is a lot more forgiving. If you got a super duper, plus P, super cart-mouth, blah blah blah, it's got a lot of energy behind it. You have plus P plus, and I carried plus P plus's, Model 19's or Model 10's, especially Model 10 with a bull barrel. Or a Taurus, beautiful pistols, Taurus's, the early Taurus's, and I'm not as excited about the new ones, but the early Taurus's, which are mimics of the Smith and Wesson, virtually they are Smith and Wesson of Resilience. Those weapons can hold up under those kind of pressures just fine and you can take a standard .38, the modern metallurgy, and use the plus-p loads in them pretty much all day. But I would prefer using a standard load, not punishing the shooter, and knowing the guy is going to keep the bullet on target and hit and hit and hit and hit again. Okay? So don't get rid of those K frames. They're working just fine. The other thing is you're saving all your brass that way, guys. In a situation where everybody's talking about shortages of ammunition, having your brass pran all over the place sometimes isn't a good thing. Whereas if you can recover your brass by dumping the cylinder into your hand and putting your pocket, you've got those six cases saved. Hey, that's an idea. Anyway, I hear the music. Ah, and we heard the music, and we got a shotgun, a rifle, and a .45. Country boy not only a survivor, country boy was supreme on the battlefield. Worked with a lot of them out there. We all know it works and doesn't work because we've already used it. Well, we're going to be there going to break. Grab that cup of coffee. Smell. Taste. Donate to the Micro Effect. 888-747-1968.

Trust me, heavy metal poisoning is happening. Get equipped, get ready, get the T. That's getthet.com. So this side, and you see that farthest one over there? Once I get to him, we're finished. Hack and chop our way, and the plan is to get through every one of them. by the way you long-range riflemen if you get that guy first before we can get there pop him at farthest out you do that okay feel that works all of them especially fun when you of course when they turn to run and they see that the ones farther out or dying in problem where they're trying to run to do to them what they thought they were going to do to everybody else how many of them can we make die and Wednesday and of course touching on edge weapons there's a number of other solutions there but uh... again taker taker pic uh... cold steel got some really nice working blade that are in about the thirty dollar range and actually made in the united states in most cases but they have a number of different types of kukri machetes machetes and get it you want to know more little more money not much but you'll find that they have a number of different blades now to include a gladios short sword from pipes which work as you are working blades in other words nothing fancy carbon steel and i have to maintain them but you know what they're about twenty steps above what was actually built to that design say or two thousand years ago seriously guys more on that in just a little bit but i was on revolvers here real one thing about the revolver is speeders now there are some weapons are a little unique your side any of those that are not a side gate or a top-break revolver those you know like your peacemakers and your copies of the peacemakers a lot of them out there guys the ruger uh... blackhawk i don't have any problem with the ruger single-action blackhawk at all number one it's a hand cannon and the idea is not to blaze away but rather to aim and hit you knock somebody with a forty four magnum round once and it's not very likely they're going to be yapping or talking to you the idea of jumping five six or seven or ten rounds into a target is a waste of ammunition number one the other thing is if you know how to hit then you're not going to be having to knock them down you know six more times uh... the forty four the three fifty seven black coffee even made some in thirty eight special now those are actually more of a collector's item than ever before but Typically they made them in .357 and they made them in .44 Magnum. The Black Hawk is a fine revolver, but it is a single load. You know, it's a gate tight. You don't see a rear load. Click, click, gotta dump it, gotta drop one round at a time. Expect that. It means more and more you have to focus on, no, I'm not gonna blaze away. I take the hand cannon, I aim and whomp, and I put a .44 Magnum or a .357 Magnum where it needs to be. Now, case in point, with the .44 Magnum, you can use .44 Special in that .44 Magnum all day. Case in point, for those of you who have a .357 Magnum, if you have any .38 Special, you should know by now that you can use .38 Special in the .357 Magnum and it will work. Always remember that, guys. Other than the traditional single-action, peacemaker-type weapons, Pretty much all the other revolvers out there are side gate or their top top top break actually are showing up to a degree because a bunch of the Webley and Enfield revolvers are on the market now back about year 1998 99 a whole bunch of Enfield revolvers came in at $60 apiece now they're selling them out for $60 they got them for probably five or seven or ten dollars on the market Many of those are in 38 Smith and Wesson. Don't change them out. Don't try to bore them up or anything to something else. Number one, they're not going to work any way. The cylinder is not long enough. Everybody goes, they're only 38 Smith and Wesson. Once again, that bullet has killed a whole lot of people over the decades, in the last hundred years. 38 Smith and Wesson in a standard load. Not 38 specials. Don't confuse the two. There's 38 Smith and Wesson and Colt. Both of those are short cartridges by comparison 38 special specifically made longer so that it would not be loaded into 38 S&W revolvers. This is true with 357 Magnum. Why is the case longer? That way when you have that hyper load you don't try to load that hyper load into earlier model 38 specials. Simply longer. The cylinder won't close. The idea behind this was that that was a part of a safety precaution the wildcatters came up with when they developed the 357 round. In reality, they also developed a special round. Progressively, these cases upgraded. Now, 38 Smith and Wesson, these top-break revolvers typically will still match up with your speed loader systems that are in the HSK, the Haryland Speed Loaders, are an excellent solution. They work just fine. I like the HSK because Insert, twist that little knob on the back, all the rounds drop in, put the speed loader in your pocket or drop it if you're in an emergency, close the cylinder and bop, and bop, and bop, and bop, and bop, and bop, and bop, and, or it could be five rounds, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, because you've got a J-frame, okay? The little infield top breaks are actually pretty cool. A lot of them are single action, or forgive me, double action only. Double action only, not a problem, but remember that you're going to have to practice to get them to work, especially since a lot of people aren't used to double action only. A lot of cop shop guns you see that are coming in right now from trade-ins are coming from the east coast. And it's why when you see them starting to blaze, All these double action only crews dump hundreds of rounds and maybe only hit seven or twelve times. Have you noticed that? You know, the cop shops like in New York, you know, New York City, they're blazing away and there's like 200 and some rounds fired, but only a couple of rounds hit their target. Everything else hits the cats, the dogs, three neighbors down, two stories up, you know, hits the front of the steps. Anything but what they were shooting at. what because they're double-action only well pop policy has created that issue and it's something that they're just not steering clear of their teaching anybody use any kind of fixed accuracy with that first round maybe if you shot them once and hit them you don't have to dump the other fifteen rounds in because you're panicking roided up and you know you're all piked up from the adrenaline you know what i mean other words with the walk back the hammer aim and bop while he went down I had to shoot once. Well, this is not exciting. I can't get the rest of my roid juices going. I can't get my roids going. Oh, I want to shoot more, but it's done. Yeah, see how that works. So anyway, double action only is fine. The British had a policy on this too. Seems that apparently New York has embraced the English thing and... Well, you know how that works. So anyway, we're not concerned with that. The idea is if the hand cannon will get the job done in a brawl situation, immediately at close range, you'll do just fine with a double action only if that's what you got he inherited or you found him for, again, these revolvers came in at $60 apiece. A lot of people bought them. There's a lot of .38 Smith & Wesson revolvers and handguns of many types out there. 38 Smith and Wesson, not 38 Special. 38 Smith and Wesson, and there's 38 Special, and there's 357. Now there's even 357 Ultra Mag. Okay. Now, in for ammo for those, well, if you got a 38 Smith and Wesson, Preview Partisan is importing 38 Smith and Wesson in quantity. This is, you know, again, helping to resurrect a little bit of range time for a lot of you because it's fresh ammo, and you can shoot it and reload it. Oh yeah, you can reload it because it's boxer primed. Ah yes, brass case boxer primed and reloadable. See, you aren't going to throw any of that brass away, right? I wouldn't toss any brass. No steel, no aluminum goes to waste. Somebody else wants to leave it on the range. You go take it, pick it up. Again, out of policy. You're going to need every piece of steel, aluminum and brass we can find. We're going into a war. Now, those revolvers, speed loaders. If you're going to adopt them, look for speed loader carriers. Now it doesn't mean you can't carry them in your pocket conveniently, and a lot of people do. I know guys that carry one in every coat pocket, and they carry one in every pant pocket, you know, in the front. One left, one on the right, one in each pocket coat bottom, and one in each pocket coat top with a field jacket. Means they're carrying a lot of ammunition, and it's kind of out of the way, and it's not really obvious, and it's really cool because they can bop, bop, bop, bop, drop, and he insert, and bop, and they can go to town as needed. Okay. However, if you're looking at a combat rig, there are some really nice speed loaders. Look in the junk boxes at the gun shows. A lot of cop shops got rid of all of their revolvers. And because of that, guys took home or carried home a whole bunch of stuff that goes with those revolvers. A lot of times you'll find them, especially with the independence, where they have stuff that they've piled up and they put it in place. and it's really cool because the stuff on hand and it's cheap. You'll find in the grab boxes, you'll find in the nylon gear boxes, speed loader kits that are all over the place, you know, and in different configurations, singles, doubles and even triples. Now these can be adapted, and they can even be adapted to a molly rig. In fact, it's not that hard, but if you look around there are different stations on your equipment, There are ways that you can set it up so that it's again out of the way. If you need more than one or two or three, then it's a personal choice there. My preference is to carry at least three speed loaders and the revolver at least, and then still a box of loose ammo. And when the time comes, reintroduce more rounds into the speed loaders if you've used them. chick with by themselves if you drop the speed loaders and lose a mobile that's all works you know again if the show we say the animated contest of ground warfare dictates you don't get to always do what you want to do okay so you may lose them you may not lose them however that works anyway uh... the full point is go to the gun shows sometimes you'll find guys that have bins of used speed loaders. They've got a cop shop, they got rid of it, had the stuff in the back room, nobody wanted it, or everybody's laughing. Oh, that's revolver stuff. Yeah, well you can let them laugh and carry the stuff away and then make sure it's distributed to our people so that we have more. More is always better. Okay, more is good, more is better, more is better, yum yum, anyway. Now, another thing about the revolvers, lots of leather, it's personal choice there. One of the things to consider about field gear with regard to carrying the pistols is are you going to be out in the environment constantly? Because of course some people say, I'll need a spade, ulster, which is fine if you do, that's personal choice. But one of the things to consider is your weapon is going to be out in the cold, in the wet, in the rain, in the dust, in the Keeping it covered means it stays cleaner and stays a little drier and isn't directly exposed to the elements. That's sometimes a good thing. There's a balance there with regard to how you can store or transport the water. Consider that if you practice with whatever system you have provided, you've come up with something that makes sense. The US 1911 leather flap holster with the button keeper was actually pretty quick to bring to service because the idea, the design behind that was that the release would easily slide off when you applied pressure. You can grip the weapon easily. Some people contoured or cut out the holster a little more so that it allowed for a little bigger, little more trigger control as far as being able to stir up the gun out faster, scoop it out with your hand. Now there's an argument as soon as I say this, all the aficionados of the latest, you know, one thing or another, I don't care. It's personal choice. Each one of you has a different school. All of you have different ways that you were taught. There's no reason for me to say that my system is so much better than yours, so much as I know how to make it work for me. You're going to make whatever you're doing work for you. Congratulations. You're doing a fine job. Keep it up. Now you may backstab me, but I'm just basically telling you here, let's all get together and make it work. You enjoy the ability to defend yourself with firearms. Oh yes, well congratulations, we're all on the same side. We can debate all the finer points later on and we'll find out who gets to the other end of the battlefield in one piece, but again, do something. Okay, whatever you're gonna choose to do, whatever school you choose to embrace, congratulations, fantastic, do it. However, again, the one thing is make the system you have that you've already paid for work for you. Don't get rid of them. The hand cannon again is not so much a desperation, but it's a defense situation. Now, you're also probably going to have to stretch out your weapons. In other words, if you have more people showing up, Even if you have a 5-10 program in place, maybe you set up a 5-10 program where you actually have five handguns, five rifles or shotguns, you have all the web gear and everything in place. Well, you have five, but ten people show up that are actually combat worthy. I'm going to tell you what's going to happen. Those five handguns are going to have to go to somebody, and the five rifles or shotguns are going to go to somebody else. Why? Because now you can put ten people into the field. Whereas you were hoping to give somebody a complete combat kit to include a personal defense weapon as in a handgun, hand cannon, and whatever, and a rifle or shotgun, now they're going to have to work if they want to add to their collection. But the handgunners can definitely contribute effectively to the battlefield, and again, one of the best ways to do this is to find out who has handled a firearm before. who here is used a lot of shooting ok thank you who here is handled and who has been involved and uh... summer gonna raise their hand others are not well guess who gets the long gone now i did right well i have here i do this i've been in carver and i've been in the army i use the m sixteen well guys you can't sixteen of the guy give the m sixteen two or the guy give the air fifteen to why he's already used it there's no downtime to turn around getting into the field Others that have used handguns are the ones that are going to get handguns. Why? There's less downtime and they're more likely to do damage with what you've issued them. This is how you allocate resources intelligently. It's not, ooh ooh ooh, I said dirty Harry, I want the handgun. Oh, have you ever had a handgun before? Well, well, I've, no. Now, obviously you're not going to probably get that kind of response, but you've got to remember that that's what people are thinking. A lot of guys have the dirty handgun. No, it's anybody who here has been a pistol shooter. Here's carry the handgun. Okay, well we've only got so many weapons, and you're going to be carrying a handgun. Congratulations, I've got holsters here, we've got speed loads. Here's the kit, you figure out how to make it work for you, what will fit you. Okay, the basic gear is there. uh... the other thing is again remember in some cases you have rifle marksman the individuals who are capable of handling scope door long-range weapons should be put on the weapons that they're most familiar with it all possible get them behind the site of something where they can do the most damage of their most pro okay and again allocating the resources accordingly sorry i'd like to give you a rifle but you do have some handgun time you've got to work with this for the time being And to upgrade, let's go find ourselves a black uniform moose and harvest you a rifle. How's that sound? Let's go be unfair and take 10 of us and gang up on one of them. Oh, that's the other part about it. No, you're not gonna be fair. Let's go find someone of equal strength. No, you're talking about guerrilla warfare. You're talking about unconventional or para-conventional warfare. You go find a handful of them, wipe them out and strip them for everything they're worth. Now your guy with a pistol has a rifle. but the guy that had the pistol can contribute to getting the guy that has the rifle you want. The knuckle-dragging black uniform, pig, you know, the swine that are out there should be looked at as nothing but a mobile resupply pod. The interior police of the KGB are nothing but mobile resupply pods. That's how you must look at them. How are you going to deal with them? Well, you're going to deal with them in both, shall we say, unkind method and as quickly as possible with minimal energy spent. So if that means a ball peen hammer, rather than pulling a trigger, ball peen hammer works a whole lot better and saves ammo. There you go. Bunk, bunk, you nasty grump. Bunk, bunk. Bunk, bunk, you nasty grump. Bunk, bunk. Okay, oh by the way, a cleaving sword or that drywall hammer will do just as well as a ball peen hammer. So, oh wow, right down to the shoulder blades. Actually got a little past the yank down towards the middle of the torso. Good shot there. Of course now you gotta pull the blade out. I told you those swords are cool but yeah, yeah, come on get your boot on there. There you go. You messed up the uniform by doing that. What? Yeah, I'm gonna have to do some sewing now the blade cleaved down through the middle of the head Went down through the neck and kind of ended about six inches past the shoulders doesn't that mean I got to do some stitching now You know if you've been just a little less zealous have I told you if you use the hammer it has stopped right there with a with a pumpkin and I had to clean the hat off, but at least I could still use it. Maybe I hope anyway Things you gotta think about in advance, if you're gonna come up behind or off to the side or again cleave the melon of the bad guy, the knuckle dragging, black uniform, moose, then you gotta start doing some math on this one. Otherwise, break out the sewing kit. In fact, the guy who did that, I give him that black shirt and the black gear that goes along with it, because he can fix it. You're the one who did it, you get that one. What? no it's damaged well break out the sewing needle and break out the patch kit it's your job now next time you learn to be a little less zealous how's that sound once you clean that old melon into the old brain gear is pretty well stopped as it is we don't need to go any farther remember efficiency of course on the other hand neck and take them up ahead yeah there we go that's another option but anyway the bad guys nothing but mobile free supply pods now If you do have to use that hand cannon, again we've talked about recovery, there's one thing that needs to be remembered, you're constantly, even in the field, going to be scavenging. If you see brass, it gets picked up. If you see something useful, it gets carried away. We also have to be careful if it's something just laying around and it's been there before you got there, because booby trapping is the norm, not the exception. A lot of our soldiers have found out about this the hard way. We already know about it, because we'll be doing it to the bad guys on a regular basis. Okay, but if you have brass or material that can be recovered right there that's within reach It gets pocketed and then it gets sent to the rear for recovery and recycling Remember in fact, well, that's a lot of work for a few rounds. Let me remind you everybody always loves these movies remember platoon Police your brass. We don't leave nothing for the dink. Wait a minute. They're in a combat situation in the field they just pragged a bunch of stuff that they were, you know, again, was where they found the, in the village where they shot the woman. You know, police, your brass, we don't leave nothing for the dinks. What do they mean by that? Oh, you mean to say that the soldiers went around, you know, the part they really don't really, you know, it's not an exciting part of anything you do. You know, in other words, picking up your brass cases of 223 because if somebody else captured them, you know, pick them up later, they'd use them on you. We don't leave nothing for the dinks. See, that's something that was already in the formula, guys. Now, I'm sure they're a lot lazier than that nowadays with our present military, the way it is, which is cool. So, and we're not worried about it. I don't want to change their attitude on that. They're, of course, too good to stoop over and do something like that. Good. Keep thinking that way. Everything we acquire becomes a tool to put a bullet or a bayonet or a battle axe into the hide of the occupation force. And that means that everything gets recovered, common sense. We work for a living. We're not the lazy buggers on the other side. We're not the slobs who won't bend over to do anything, pick up anything or work. We're the people who work for a living. We actually know how to do this. And in fact, we'll take that one single case and that'll get us another black uniform, most of the whole bunch more gear. Yeah, just by reloading that 1-2-2-3 round and putting that bolt actioner, that single shot H&R, Put it to the noggin right at the base of the neck of that one we wanted because we're gonna gang up on him We're not gonna be fair He's gonna die horribly by himself or maybe with one of his buds And then we're gonna strip him naked and one of our guys who's got a better weapon or more goodies and like uniform black helmet Oh, no cool stuff. We got all because that one piece of brass is properly recovered. We know how to reload many pieces of brass or steel case or whatever we got. So again, get into reloading.
