Mark Koernke discussed radio communications technology, including frequency surveying techniques, 2-meter ham radio systems, repeater networks, and the advantages of diverse communication tools for preparedness. He emphasized the importance of base stations over handhelds, spare parts acquisition for budget radios like the Baofeng UV5R, and antenna maintenance. In the second hour, Koernke analyzed a Bearing Arms article about the German military's G36 assault rifle overheating and losing accuracy in sustained combat in Afghanistan, contrasting it with proven 7.62 NATO battle rifles like the G3/PTR-91. He criticized leadership decisions that prioritized new designs over proven technology and explained how Taliban fighters using longer-range rifles force NATO troops into disadvantageous firefights.

We fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy exists to lay free. Freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. Tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. And this is the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. Christian values can't be taught. Read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan and traded in your name. You've given government control for those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize our country. Put men of God in jail, harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters, visitors, send artillery and guns to foreign shores, and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. You regain the freedoms for which we fought and died. But don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Those sons of the Republic arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republican, each God-given right. That won't keep vanished in the midst he came. His words were true. Free? But we have ourselves to blind our friends, trample each God-given right. We watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer? He called out from the grave.

Every day is a beautiful day here at Camp Funshine, Michigan, the Great Lakes. Not Funshine today. Hey, the solar panels are still working, and even the little solar devil here goes, bop, bop, bop, bop. So something's getting through those clouds where that little solar panel wouldn't work in the first place. Okay, we're not supposed to think about that, so it's not as gloomy as you thought. It's just harder to get all that radiation you need to... Anyway, and if you get the radiation that was warmer, you'd be whining! That may have been the difference, most people, I won't say you are, but most everybody is in weezer-winder mode now anyway. It's been seen in... number of years, blah blah blah blah, you know how it is. It is the 24th of... six-year-old baby in the socialist and soviet socialist occupation over the calendar or my end now i'm gonna get right back in the thing that i close with because they won't take long to finish this what we want to do is a frequency my ability survey now when i said a quarter of the way up the up the uh... the scale this is the general rule that works that i found work system experiment and develop the thing is fat of the reason you go a quarter of the way up your whatever bandwidth you have a frequencies automatically 25 you know the frs frequencies that's it whatever you got well then you might want to just drive with the a frequency or your number one free for frequency on the on the parade or stop you benchmark that what you do is a chip you really can use colored pencils you can use colored pens by you should have to lose some of them because you're going to be testing more than five six seven ten colors okay uh... But the cool thing about colors is you can benchmark. Put a little hash at the intersection of your map. You can print out a map so it's, because I can punch a computer by one. And you benchmark on the Schwidlap Road East. And number 36, you know, you got all the benchmarks for a frequency one or the first head frequency. Re-center to, of course, now you may want to just figure that, okay, we're strong now to want to recover to the two mile mark. Again, you know, there's one, two, three, can you hear me? As you're talking, you're testing, come back, K-A-A-3-4, echo, do you copy? This is 3-4-4, echo, we copy. What you're doing is testing farther and farther, and then you determine, okay, that's the limit, and you benchmark it, and you benchmark the next one. Now you're gonna find, this was the question about sweet frequencies, there are a couple things that I wanna qualify from the last hour. When I'm talking about transformers, we're not talking about, well, the transformer up there on your telephone pole, although everything creates a field. Remember there's a lot of equipment out there that's dirty. It's not shielded well. They didn't plan on shielding it well. It's designed to just crank out a lot of different stuff up and down the radio spectrum. If you don't think so, take a frequency counter and go buzz by a power plant. Or go buzz by, in fact, even driving around a metropolitan area. Well look at the frequency counter and watch how she staggers up and down the dial. Because of all the other clutter and stuff. And much of it, wow, that's even in the FRS. range. Wow, there's some people really active here. Or there's a piece of equipment that's running active and it has harmonic frequencies where it works up and down the bandwidth. In fact, transformers purely by copper wire winding, guys. There's all kinds of stray stuff coming up. This is why, let me give you a little hint here, when you're playing with electronic, you know, activated explosives, why nothing is hooked up until you get to where you're going and even then it if you really know what you're doing you do a frequency counter check just to be safe all you mean if you were doing demolitions or you know you feel the spice guy stuff you know from down and then down well probably got to be hooked up and you waddle into electronic central you know my straight signals there are out there that you don't even you'll know about government frequencies corporate spy frequencies corporate public frequencies public frequencies Etc, etc, etc, etc, up and down the bandwidth, some of them in the basement, some of them so high that you don't have any technology, you'll probably pick them up. However, that piece of equipment you may have rigged up to go boom, well, if it's already hooked up and you decided to just figure you're a really bad butt, well, it may decide to take you, decide to do whatever job you were planning. Oh, that's how it works. Little hint there. So, the wonderful world of radio frequencies and radio technology is a great variable. In fact, let's remind everybody of something about antenna technology. It's not called antenna law, it's called antenna theory rules. But remember that between all of this, it's an incredibly wonderful crapshoot. Grab the dice, throw them, and roll depending on your area, okay? So it has a couple of big advantages. And that's why two meters still very, very popular. Oh, it has been for four or five decades now. 2 meter, either with or without the repeater, is a diamond cutter. It will do a very good job, especially a station, and it will cut like a diamond. It will go through things that, again, other signals may not. But that's also why, even in the military, you have a wide spectrum of signal communications that is in service. You'll notice the military doesn't put all their eggs in one basket. Well, at least the thinking military. the car political sexual queer military with you can't tell me what to do although the whole heterosexual thinking i want to go and cleared up well when that happens in your enemy will be seeking faster still and uh... everything she felt like it happened that the bad guys are the ones killed plan and coming at you bubble ball left right up diversification is the eighty margin where you'll get a certain amount of soft points you know on the dial uh... depending on where you are in It's a combination of things. Again, fuzz, background, other frequencies, harmonic frequencies. I've tweaked 2 meter and have been doing it for years. When you go to the Dayton Handfest 2 meter, you use the repeater system. This is where you can take 2 meter and long range. Know all of the repeaters, and there is a repeater bible, by the way, that you can get. Uh, no, well Mark, I can pull it up on the internet. That's nice. Uh, you know what? The more junk you have on the internet, the more sooner somebody hits a switch, the sooner it's all gone. That book only requires your ocular video but to your number to your next jump. Finally get to the point where you want to hook up to a ground line and you can go from that handheld two meter. This is a fun part in reality for all practical purposes now. You can go from your two meter to a rear to yet another repeater to up to the cell phone tower in the other area and we talk apples and oranges. Yeah well some bananas hooked into the repeater system and remember the repeater system is a awful big mechanism because it is all over the country to predates the cell phone system but it does the exact thing. The 2 meter was actually a more efficient, it was privately produced, the government tried to take it, we didn't let that happen, there was a big cat fight back in the 70s, we won, they lost. And so the system had to go to something else which is why you've got 800 meg. Otherwise the 2 meter system would be the cell phone you're working with today. So the 2 meter is They really, really, really wanted to steal that after they gave that to the private sector. They wanted to steal 2 meter after we perfected all the technology. Think about that. Now how diverse is 2 meter? Well, we were taking a 2 meter radio in a Fiat with a 2 seater with an aluminum saucer, you know, snow saucer used for sliding down the hill. Made our own directional antenna. Hooked up at 2 meter that I had in my hand along with a few other tools. I wanted to see the CIA dishes on the downtown in Arbor, the array that was up on top of there. They were bigger dishes back in the day. They've gone smaller because they've gone more efficient. We decided to frag out other ideas. But anyway, we would bounce that up to one of the new HAM satellites. And we were talking to Poland and Czechoslovakia in 1974. We were talking to Poland and Czechoslovakia on 2 meter in 1975. Oh, and 75. There were only one or two of the ham satellites over the time. And we were kind of pie-plating it, guys. That's played billiards with radio frequencies. So you see how diverse 2-meter is? Well, it is theoretical. And its direct handheld application is short range. The repeaters, it changes the dynamics. So that's one of the reasons for having the 2-meter system in place. But you have to study. You need to know how to use your equipment, how to hook it up to repeater mechanisms out there. And congratulations. All of a sudden, you've got yourself a short term quick connect in the event you're in a siege under attack or whatever to think about. Now I was asking the theocrat, I don't know if he caught this in the chat room here, whether or not, you know, because the testing he's doing, whether or not he's using a handheld or a base station. Now rule number one, if you have a home or if you have a retreat or whatever, a base station. Base station systems are preferred. Because you've got more power and you've got more potential, the system itself is going to, you know, be able to take a little more abuse with regard to constant use. Those little Star Trek communicators working on micromillion amperage, the circuits, and I don't care what anybody says, bottom line, they're planning on selling you another one. We accept that. Don't think that I'm talking down your radios. I'm trying to explain. Every tool in the toolbox has tolerance. Let's put it this way. In some form or another, it's torque. And or where. So when you're pumping, you know, micromiliamps or something and you keep doing it, it was only meant for micromiliamps, a little surges take place, changes in, you know, in components because of quality, a number of different things will happen and when that radio goes, chances are you're not going to be able to fix that little Star Trek communicator. It's like cell phones. You know, it used to be like, I got a cell phone and I take care of it. Nowadays you've been taught to be frivolous with electronic technology. Your cell phone, you want to change out or just get another one. Well, I understand that's what they're doing. They've got slave labor building it on the other side of the planet. And we have even some slave labor here that rebuilds them once they turn them in. If you'll turn them in, refurbish them, you know, get some more cover plates from overseas with a brand name on them. Another cell phone, understandable. Most of them are going in the landfill. You don't think so? Watch it all the time. Find buckets of them. I have dozens, I have hundreds in fact now of cell phones. Hundreds of them. Can I do anything with them? Well I check to make sure that they do run, but even the ones that don't I do save for parts. You know what I'm mostly saving them for? Is the cameras. Totally different subject. Yeah I see cell phones have changed in that respect because before it was, well, radio communications. Now it's television communication. And that can be awfully handy if you have a little more time to play around. fun with the technology and you like you know apply it to a software that uses cell phones like a security camera slash oh wow wait a minute that's cheating called again more tools in the toolbox so the big thing is take and survey your CB radio your two meter radio all your personal's any better VHF or UHF system you commit to which your plus or minus their aviation frequencies at least test for you know present and present use you know without A lot of guys have all of the old radio, marine radio in your area. I will tell you right now that CB should be on standby. I know guys like her talking to us all the time. And a semper from the cell phone is a good idea. A majority of what you're doing, rather than running it through the cell phone system, personal radios are still your better choice. Any number of different reasons. If you have a limited time package anyway, use that cell phone as you want to. But remember that that little handheld radio for most of your in-house in-traffic use nearby is just as convenient or available. And you need to practice. It becomes second nature. How did you become comfortable with cell phones? Has everybody grown up with, like, automatically, you know, this morn with a cell phone that just dropped out your bong hole and came with a power cord and everything? And, well, no, it didn't work that way, did it? How did you become comfortable? How did society become comfortable with cell phones? That's why I have to laugh at people. Well, why would I want to do radio? Well, how about because, like, free and independent and separate from the spyware and the spy scam? the other plug-in with the cell phone. You know, you can like do, it's like a free-mind independent thing. Well, the ones that are totally socialist, they go brain blank. The eyes gloss over and they're like, I'm a slave. On the other hand, the thinking parts of the population, you know, our side, the ones that are gonna win. So we're already out of the box and we're down the road so far that, you know, they ain't never gonna catch up. Some of the box rocks on the other side, I don't have a problem with. Keep them that way, absolutely. The other side, that's what they get. I have no intentions as to perform everything they can to betray us. Think outside the box, think with other tools in the toolbox when the time comes. It doesn't all have to be plugged in right away, at least half. Now I would recommend that if you can, it's more intricate, somebody might talk you into the radio that does everything. Well, I'm going to point out that the radio does everything. If it has a micro, nearly average problem with one circuit or another, you also lost everything you've got. It doesn't mean you can't have those around. We do. If I get one for cheap or free, I'll grab it. But, and in fact even with tactical comm based radios, you could have a one radio that does everything, so to speak, system there. But, right next to it, the CB, now there's a difference, you call it Citizen Band, CB from way back in the committed frequency radios can be used as yet another network. A whole lot of other technology out there, it's not hard to understand. Guys, if you can, America use CB radios and swap the environment. You could do it. You can do it. Okay. Thank you, Theocret, for answering that. You got a couple of the Yifong, you know, UV5R, WWW.dealxtreme. If you take a look, in fact, dealxtreme, they have some really nice vehicle-mounted ore, can be used as base station, two-meter radios. They get more output, patient, to be able to command one base, like I said, progressively investing in. That you can pick up radios that will handle the radio spectrum. that we if you see that's where the advantage is but if something breaks it's all gone if you have the one system if the multi-capable duck box cost me $40 the Omni antenna the purpose antenna for the for the purpose radio there's injunctions there's all all this stuff has been answered 40 years ago 30 years ago there's nothing that we're really doing new the only thing that really is added dimension is something I mentioned earlier which is satellite uplink that is the most significant change given flush face technology microchip technology are actually old and it's old earth enough that they handed it right over to the comm everything when anything we know the Chinese have. Don't forget it'll be out there in in force so whether or not the system is immediately going to shut all of it off or shut parts off who knows be ready for that and assume the worst you won't be disappointed we know they're going to shoot cell phones. Your cell phone will keep working, but it won't work. And you'll keep carrying it, so you'll have a sonar ping slash a GPS tracker on you, because you'll think, maybe the cell phone will come back. Well, the moment the cell phone goes flat and doesn't work, unplug the battery. In other words, it runs, and it shows that it's operational, but I can't talk through it. And I can't get, well, pull the battery, grab your foil, grab the bag and store it for the time being, and don't recharge it. Well, I won't do any good. This is the enemy. It's an enemy resource from that point. That's the thing you remember about cell phones. How long you do that? You doin'? Okay. With regards to the little Baifong radios, I will remind everybody that there are a number of different options. With all of these, there are spare and spare parts. You can buy now the communist Chinese slave parts, and they're all available for each of those Baifong or Baifeng. Forgively, not Fong. Fyong! Fyong! Fyong! Anyway, actually, it's like a tune guitar string. You use the bass range. Bing! Fing! I'll drag it on the radio name. Who cares? It works. Anyway, replacement rubber ducky antennas. Buy. You can get a five pack for a few dollars. It's like pennies per unit by the time you're done. Buy them. You can get an add-on depending on the radio. Again, I haven't looked at the UV5R, but I think it does. Whether or not it takes that, again, it's another option where why you can get the communist China sports stuff It's only $5, $6, $7 for the handheld mic. Typically that handheld mic works with a family of radios. So it doesn't just work with that one radio and it'll be kind of handy in that if nothing else, I'll reconnect a space to another jumper for fixture. Nice little microphone for little enough and brand new in the package. And if I need it, I got it for part. It says I can't improvise, adapt and overcome and I sure as hell will when the time comes in assemblies. When the China support slaves have built understand, great way to build up an application kit. Spare parts, spare batteries, etc. You know what needs to be done. Go down through the parachute, breakable this. Why antennas? Well, number one, I've noticed something about these little rubber duckies on all of them. I don't care if it's Motorola, flexible. It appears to me that they are not putting as much of a logic. It's another way to sell you another little rubber ducky and it takes time though, but remember we're planning on using these for a period of time. get busted anything that can bend can be bent to its extreme remember mr. torque there again and if something fractures or breaks rule number one is yes glue it and get as much life out of that piece of it as you can but if the antenna is compromised unscrew it don't throw it away look at it see what you can do to clean it up and fix together tape cured and put a new one on and operate full strength for the time being notice I didn't throw away the old one Well, the old one that kinda works, and if I fix it up while I got a new one on the radio, and then put it in my reserves, it will be obvious to me that it's the B-grade antenna. Oh, that's how operators are. Anyway, we should be hearing the music. We are at the bottom of the hour. It might be turned up in my ear a little, it'll be nice. Here we go, I know it's there now. I'll tell you what guys, grab that cup of coffee and if you're heading off to work, watch it on the road.

The rules of the game are changing. The Micro Effect radio network. The gem of the mountains. Learn more about the Micro Effect at themicroeffect.com. The era of big government is over. It's not abhorrence. We're not talking fish coming out of the sky and sea. You know, we're talking about a saturation rain. The kind you want for a... moisture, at least in southern Michigan, that means the rivers are going to be rising. In fact, we have what we call the Raisin River. Now there's two ways you can look at that. Raisin, okay, rise up like a raisin. In fact, it does. Down towards, uh, in the flat areas. It's a cut that is actually 20, 30 feet down. All the rain hits. The sudden all that flat land drains into the raisin. She starts to rise, a raisin, as in all of a sudden becomes like rehydrated, plumps up. and or it raises season river and she does so I low high low thing well right now she's gone so if you don't have sandbags go get them by the way sandbags typically free in your area check it out yeah I'm worried about flooding can I get three or four or five bundles of those army sandbags that are camouflage colored you know they got when I say camo they're just different colors of green brown black and tan and when you fill them up and you stack them it creates a see they're not camouflaging why can't I get him a tiger stripe I'm still gonna get him a tiger stripe no I want them in Marpat no I want no doesn't work that way they don't do that okay the sandbags are still but they work okay and you get over free if your county service or your blah blah blah blah blah whatever civil solution to a problem boy I need real locations are kind of blending in though you seen all the movies what in a pie in a If you put sandbags in the middle of the street, they're probably going to figure out where you are real quick. So that wouldn't be a problem. In fact, you got to learn to supply your people with what makes sense. So again, yep, the sandbags, the sack bags, and even then they can still be, they're flattened out and look more herb. For field operations, you prioritize the color to the camouflage, the green ones, the black ones, the whatever, the darker colors in the field where they belong. Not the white shoes, because where they don't. Oh, unless it's, oh yeah. might work but to a degree just want to still drain. Oh yeah. Anyway, communications Tuesday. I want to shift for a second because I read this last night and from the trenches worldreport.com from the trenches worldreport.com from the trenches worldreport.com number one go there. Go down through the scroll and you will find an article of the... some people aren't going to like this. The awkward moment when H&K fanboys find out that the Germans call the G36 rifle that doesn't shoot straight. Oh, sorry, Popo, it's not shooting, it shoots out of the corner, but I wasn't trying to shoot around the corner. Yeah, I know, but it shoots out of the corner just fine. Anyway, Bearing Arms by Bob Owens, dated 23 June 2014, by Pericles posted there on the site. Heckler and Koch fanboys, and I'm specifically referring to those who insist that the company can do no wrong. like this the german government is claiming that the g thirty six assault rifle the parent of the x m eight once looked at as a replacement for the m four m sixteen family of weapons fielded here in the united states let's see germany defense ministry has temporarily halted new orders of its military standard assault rifle while it grows complaints the weapon doesn't shoot a new report said the german troops in afghanistan in recent years voiced concern over the G36 automatic rifle made by Heckler and Koch, saying it became inaccurate when its barrel heated up in prolonged firefights, which by the way in combat you end up in long firefights. The military initially blamed the use of unsuitable ammunition, hey doesn't that sound like 1965 all over again? The government auditing body of the boom boom dash moon moon rush new job the moment one moon dish rush moon call shop there we go mark will get it right uh... has now ordered a new investigation report of the not build on one part uh... newspaper are reported that once german soldiers have fired their basic load of five thirty round magazines their rifles become wildly inaccurate anyone with much experience with firearms expect a point of aim, point of impact, rifle barrels heat up and also expects that groups will open up as well under sustained fire. Now we all know about that because of heating, you know, thermodynamic transfer calories, etc. G36's pencil barrel simply can't hold minute of man groups inside 200 meters. Link is in German in brackets. It's stunning in a war when the engagement range is typically more than double that distance. with the Taliban preferring to engage out past, now listen to this and I'm going to re-read it again, out past 500 meters with longer range 7, 6, 4, R rifles and machine guns along with rocket propelled grenades and mortars. Let me read that again for you here. Wait a minute. Inside 200 meters, is uh, you know, Lincoln's in German, is stunning in a war when the engagement range is typically more than double that distance, which would be 400 meters. And with the Taliban preferring to engage out past 500 meters, a longer range 7.62 for rifles, machine guns, along with rocket gun grenades and mortars. Well anyway, incoming kids, our own military found similar problems with early variants of the M16 rifle and M4 carbine with thinner barrels within the adoption of thicker barrels that handles prolonged firing better. The most surprising thing here is that it took this long for the German military in HK to discover that everyone else has known regarding the stability of pencil barrels in combat weapons. Then again, as someone once snarked, the G36 is best known as the assault rifle fielded by countries that don't fight wars. The rifle simply hasn't been subjected to the extensive real world conditions of other combat rifles created before and during the so-called cold war heckler and koch admitted the rifle wasn't designed for sustained fire anonymous up and go live being we meet close up here you're gonna give everybody this rifle on this i'm out of the texture you're gonna have everybody's right when you're telling me that you're a military situation but the pencil pushers are telling you i i know you're awful you are thinking that it would be a common item but in reality this is not good schmidt they are going to make it so it only works a little bit Maybe Moksopanya, how does that sound? Oh, that's gonna be your dock and spiel, isn't it? Yeah, I don't think the troops are gonna be very happy with this. Yeah, no one's gonna be able to find out. They make big money, who cares? Anyway, heck, learn how to admit it, the rifle wasn't designed for sustained fire when the issue was first raised in 2012. Considering that the weapon makers had a 50-plus year history of assault rifle usage in combat around the world as their guide, We're forced to ask how they couldn't have seen the need for a rifle capable of sustained fire. A rifle that overheated to the point of being virtually useless might be acceptable for a police service rifle, but isn't acceptable for a military firearm. Am I wrong in thinking that HK screwed up in designing the weapon with a thin pencil barrel to begin with? but the German government screwed up even worse by not realizing how the weapon would be used on the modern battlefield during testing of systems before it became general issue in 1997. As far as the Afghanistan goes, the Bundeswehr would probably be better prepared if they returned to a variant of the 7.62 NATO G3 battle rifle you would call it your PTR-91, hint hint hint. You know the PTR-91 and 308, hint hint hint. You know the G3 slash the HK-91 slash the PTR-91 I've been telling you to buy, which has actually been proven in combat and at range. This is a bunch of we told you so's, but there's some other issues here. Number one, a comment made making the weapon useless. No. It means when you have a weapon that has a whole bunch of problems that you have to turn around and make it something that if at all possible you're going to apply in a particular direction like as a submachine gun. He goes, Mark, what do you mean? It's an assault rifle. No, no. When the barrel goes booby on you and it has less than a 200 yard range, you're looking at even actually inferior submachine gun ranges. Okay, but I wouldn't leave it to see there are some comments me down below in the article here. Oh, I just, Lee, I wouldn't even pick the weapon up. I throw it now. No, no, I take all the weapons with me, I can. Because, remember, there's a lot of things you can do with a gun like this. Number one, it can be put in auto mode for a hallway. And, but you don't care, it's gonna kind of buffer the whole hallway anyway. Think about it. Any weapon for somebody who's standing there bare butt naked, a couple of magazines, you give them that rifle, and they've got something to at least return fire. Typically it'll be at intermediate close range and close close range. So the weapon would be fine for, you know, again, a battlefield pickup off a German corpse. Okay, but you understand its limitations. In other words, what I did say earlier with every aspect of what we're talking about, it's what can that tool do for me in the toolbox? If I don't know what it's doing for you, how it works, it can get me killed. Or if it doesn't work right, I know it, and I know, but I just attention, kind of like what the German government did. Now part of this, I'm going to point something out. Why did this happen? It's because the queers are in charge of Germany, just like the queers are in charge of the US. And so what it comes down to is the panty waste poof does who are bean counters and pushers or, well, that's a hetero thing. I'm going to show you how the queers do it. So the queers step in and they of course have their way, having no clue and not caring about whether or not you live or die anyway. And so what happens is somebody splits the money sideways, everybody ignores proven facts about technology because we got a new idea. No, it's not a new idea. And by the way, I know that the effeminate penny ways have limp wrists and can barely handle three pounds worth of weight. I mean, come on, look at the thing with Obama doing the workout thing, how much of a joke that was. Obama's the epitome of their leadership, and the rank and file are no different. But that doesn't mean we can't carry a 7 to 9 pound battle rifle. And by the way, don't tell me you can't carry a 9 pound weapon. Why? Well, you take an M16 rifle, and then you shorten the barrel, but then you have to heavy the barrel out anyway. Oh geez, so you put weight back on. Then on top of that, you decide to add all kinds of fun stuff like, you know, glass optics. I have to have a flashlight. Gotta throw up some doom. I put a beta mag underneath it with 100 rounds. Well, I want you to put that back up on the scale when you add all the... Oh, don't forget the vertical foregrip in the front. And, you know, there's all kinds of other goodies. You got the bigger, heavier flash shutter, because you want to put little pickle forks on the front of it so it can stabby-stabby things. You know, you can shove it into a door or poke it in somebody's back. Well, that would be better, but, you know, hey, stupid. Anyway, by the time you're done with all these innovative, great ideas, you know, I got my Ultra like this and my Ultra like that. Going back to something the sergeant told me. By the time you're done with all the ultralight, take your AR-15 and put it back up on the scale and look at it. Your M4 knockoff. How much does it weigh loaded in it? I guess it's not the ultralight. In fact, it's not five pounds anymore, is it? Seven, eight, nine. You put the tips of Doom out. Forgive me, the breast of Doom beta mag on it. Okay, so you got the beta mag on there with 100 rounds. You're right back up to where again? Oh, you're heading towards 10 and 11 pounds now. Well, so I guess that that 8 to 9 pound, you know, grand isn't so bad after all, is it with a 9 pound grand? Or that M14 that you were told was just too heavy. Well, it really didn't save anything with the other. Now you got more spray and pray ammunition, but if I take my M14 and I become a master of the trade and I go, move once, I don't have to go, to try and scare somebody, or hopefully, Well, if the barrel's kinda sitting like on the G36, I'm spraying and praying pretty much after the first few rounds of the...well, for 150 rounds. First 150 rounds in a firefight. Now, another thing I'll point out, because we're almost to the top here. What have I told you before about placement shooting and putting your enemy to ground? How is it that this is happening where they've discovered this? Well, here's how this works. The 7.62x54R or the 8mm Mausers or the heavy guns that the troops are using that are on the other side in Afghanistan, call them Taliban, call them just, let's just call them Afghans. Afghans don't care, they've changed their name a dozen times as far as the factions internally, but they've been killing people for a long time in Afghanistan that always want to come into their country and steal stuff from them. I mean, they always have to go to Afghanistan, it doesn't have an air force. They always have to go invade Afghanistan because they're for the opium, all the rest is irrelevant. They're there for the opium, we're there for the dope, we gotta keep the dope flowing. Well they've learned that they can reach farther, they live there, they shoot farther, so at five to six hundred yards they put a bullet into a British or a German or an American soldier. Everybody goes to ground because behind it you hear, and maybe, and what's that? Well that was the other, when he fired that first round with that Tokarev rifle that's made back in World War II, he went, come on! and that first round smacked one of your guys and cut him in the throat, hit him in the leg, hit him in the body armor, does main armor, and now he's got hit. He might not be hit, hurt bad if that plate up front did his job, which it may or may not, but he's now hit and they're taking fire. Those other crack crack cracks are the hypersonic splitting of the air above you, those supersonic noises that convince you that you're within range. Your buddy got shot and there's a whole bunch of other bullets headed your way. So everybody takes the ground and immediately seeing it pump the smoke out there, everybody hits the switch and goes, and dumps a 30-round mag towards the target. He's not the primary shooter, he's just the guy that was designed to help you start to burn ammunition. So you burn another mag and you fire a maneuver now because you're not walking and traveling towards the target. Now you're firing and maneuvering, but he's 600 yards out. Your engagement range is 200 yards because you've been told that's all you can do, although you will reach to 400. But you can't if you've started to burn a lot of ammo onto G36 or a lot of other air-like type weapons. And your weapon's hot and it starts to spread. And that guy with that Tokarev rifle and his buddies with the PK machine guns and all kinds of other fun stuff, they're dumping around splat out at you. And everything they've got is .30 caliber. It's all coming down hot, it's flat, and it's got lots of energy. Your body armor stops some of it, but the soft, chewy spots that really don't have body armor start taking hits. Meanwhile, you're burning more ammo because you're getting pissed, and you're trying to get closer, and you're using, quote unquote, suppression fire. So you burned all five of those first mags, and you're working into your Diddy bag, and you're working into your spare bandoliers, and you're boop boop boop boop bopping, and you're boop boop boop bopping, but Now your stuff isn't really on target as is explained here as I've told you many times because your guns heated up and you were all pissed off and you were going full auto and you burned and burned and burned and burned. Now you're not really... The guy on the other side is already either wounded or killed full of your people and he's leaving. By the time you figure out that there's one hold back guy keeping you busy and he breaks contact and goes in another direction, you're now sucking smoke. Oh, that's mean. No, that's the battlefield. That's how you fight. So that little paragraph right there is worth reading over and over again to understand the world of chipmunk guns versus MBRs. Chipmunk guns versus MBRs. Chipmunk guns for certain conditions are the tool that can be used in the toolbox effectively. But when chipmunk guns go up against MBRs, and everybody on the other side that uses an MBR and knows how to make it work in conjunction with a combined arms team, are much more twice or three times the case in point. We got to go. We got a music top of the hour here. I hope I can't might be there. We are going to the top of the hour break because we are at the end of the hour here for all of you out there. If you're taking off and going to work, I know we've got people out there on the left coast. Hey, weather's up and down, but it's kind of funny. We're going to be getting a little rain, little moisture. So In the right spot, you know, you got flooding, might want to pay attention. And again, look ahead, find out what you can from your local service. Of course, most of them are pretty useless nowadays. But on the road, watch beyond the cars, pay attention to those cars, 20 up that are hitting the brakes. Might be something going on that you need to slow down for in advance before the Thunderheads in front of you come part of an accident. Here's the music. There we go. Anyway, we're going, God bless you, Republic. Death, the new world order shall prevail. The Empire's on the run. We're in a march. We're out of here. We got a brave coming up. And it's stay on the rock.
