And I'm Joe McNeil. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and on and behind the lines. Occupied territory is west. Ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on... Micro Effect Network in the morning, www.themicroeffect.com, Rolls-Wann, www.liberty3radio.4mg.com, Indiana Freedom Talk Radio.com, and AM & FM Micro Station. Technology along with Golden Spike and Hallmark, East and West of the Mississippi along with the Aleutians which might have some blues or items. A little bit of light, just a little sliver of light right now because Guys, look on the map where the Aleutians are. And remember, it's still kind of dark. Now, the difference between where we are and where the Aleutian Islands... I'd say they're about as westerly as you can get for the US. Funny how the globe works. Out there again, it is a beautiful wintery day in some parts of the nation. It's a fall day. Like where we are here, this is typical for late fall, early winter. We would hope for dusting of snow for rifle season coming up. Don, what's the date today, sir? And what's jumping off the wall up here in your necklace? Hey, it is the 12th of the day after Armistice, the day after Bethen and Ford, down the middle of the week, which called the end of magazine and the other magazine well is empty, so what we're gonna do is use the end well and then we're gonna slide release and wow, that brought one to the chamber and now we can tell everybody it is West Wednesday, the perimeter is secure and you know there's plenty more where that came from, you just gotta look for it. Offer equal opportunity, coercive force, the ability, continue to function as a combat unit when you've run out of rifle ammo you're down to a fighting knife but wait a minute oh that's right the hand cannon go boom and one of the two kids reload reload right and again more than a hundred years old now this is the year 2014 edited 2015 and that's an m1911 little stat actually is the year we're looking at a hundred years very much in military hands and in combat all over the planet. I want to bring up something real quick guys too on that note before we go any farther. This is Weapons Wednesday. Now I've been telling everybody please take the time and watch the videos on YouTube following on in Ukraine. Now there's a reason for this. Hollywood is one thing, real world is another. Time and plug in and watch these priceless there is a reason now some will be from the western side not so much but a big chunk are from the eastern ukrainian side you know the christians that are fighting the uh... pooped a queer communist coming in from the west this time who are being sponsored by the pooped queer communist communist in our government and in europe land from the israeli and now as it is I pointed out and I tried to explain because everybody goes Mark we got the most modern and we got to have this because everybody's gonna be doing this this this and there's a shopping list that's been generated by the controlled media and by the industry right I Want you to pay attention to what the guys are carrying in the field and what they're wearing what gear they have and what's going on One of the latest videos by the way is showing something I've told you about they're getting ready for winter kids one of the videos is a was the auxiliaries so driving around and personnel. They got a pickup truck taking donated winter gear out to the troops. Very reminiscent of 1777 guys, America. Regular people fighting with a purpose. They're not invading anybody. The invaders coming to them. The regular people outfitting and equipping and giving them the men in the field that are defending their land what they need to defend their land. All private footage, nothing fancy. And it's a mix. I mean, people have donated their cold weather blankets, their foot everything. Number one, and again, winter. The one thing about fighting, it knows no season check, there's no stop, there's no slowing down. If you're not properly prepared, they'll chip you out of your gear, okay? Somebody will take what you're way off your frozen core. The other thing is weapon systems. Guys, last night, Whole bunch of troops outfitted with what, what, what mired weapon? Were they carrying SIG assault rifles? Were they carrying AK-74s? Did they have the latest in Chinese defense weapons? Perhaps they had the, uh, you know, the new, uh, oh, HK-36. No, no. SKS carbines. SKS carbines, and they were making those things. Oh, but that's an obsolete, really. You think the guy at the other end they shot was worrying about whether or not the guy was carrying an obsolete rifle? Are you really going to be selected to what caliber? You didn't shoot me with a modern gun! Well here's the thing, it's just as modern as any of the others that are there because even the AK-47, there are as many, and here's one of the things I was going to point out too, there are as many 7.62x39 guns right now in the heart of what is the Eastern block. If you look in all these videos, there are as many AK-47s AK47's and 7.62x39 as there are AK74's in service and on the battlefield right now. Amen. Well think about that. Well it's the older rifle and you know the argument was that well they'd all be upgraded and they'd all be modernized. Guys that never happens and I've argued this for years with any army. But there's millions of AK-47s out there in 760 by 39. And watch the logistics train. Look at what's laying around. Pay attention to what crates you're seeing there. Maybe you'll recognize some of them. You bought some of that. Okay? But the SKF, the interesting thing is, in this latest couple of videos, you have to look around. Some of them get pulled. I've noticed this. Some of them get pulled almost as quickly as they get them up there. So you've got to keep an eye on punching in. Go to YouTube. punch in militia and then go through the last 24 hour scroll and you're gonna have to go through, you know, just watch the little icons and show you a picture of what it is and half of it, none of it's in English, it's all Cyrillic and it's all Ukrainian or Russian that they're writing everything up in, okay? So you're gonna have to go by the image. But this footage is first person. It's not somebody editing everything out. It's not the perfect Hollywood version. It's the Star Wars real life lived in version. Pay attention to the wreck to knock out pieces of equipment and vehicles. Take a look at how the militia are recovering everything and dragging it home. And how they rebuild it and what they're doing to put it back. That's the way you have to think. And all armies have done this. You know what made the German panzer divisions? You know what it was? You know what truly made. Any German treadhead would tell you this. It was their recovery and maintenance units. They could recover a tank, turn it around faster than anybody's army. That's why everybody's... Why didn't they run out of tanks? Well, you shot that tank probably a dozen times. But their recovery units were very aggressive. And so even they knew that whatever they had, if they were going to keep fighting with it, it was laying out there on the battlefield 600 yards away. You know, Otto's dead. Yeah, he's still in there. You know, Otto's tank is ours. Yeah, you're darn right it is and we're going to get it. the auto tank back with auto and the crew still get up, pull their bodies out, bury them appropriately, but they scrub out that piece of equipment, they would patch up whatever and that tank could be back in the field the same day. That's a fact. That's what they don't, you know, this is part of the how could they survive so long, how could they last. Now again, think of other issues we brought up about having this attitude from the get go. You don't be wasteful, you don't go in thinking stupid wasteful. and think that, oh, but down the road when things get serious, I'm finally going to get serious about what I need to do. Guys, if we plant this seed now, where you all think immediate recovery, everything you do is designed to put you closer to getting home, as, you know, alive, okay, as in winning the war. You recover everything on the battlefield. Nothing gets left behind. Everything gets scavenged. It's all for the war effort. You pick the field queen so that everything that's out there becomes yours. And you start from the get-go doing that and you will win. That's the most important aspect of logistics, logistics, logistics, what I've said. You don't have to, you don't have to, don't go until the end of the war, like with Poland. You know, that was the poster they put out there in Warsaw. Well guys, you don't get to the point where you have to say that because you're desperate for bullets. You start out with the, there's a lot fewer of them in the beginning of the war, and if we kill them now, we can kill them all, and then we go home. So let's try one bullet, one communist, one bullet, one internationalist, one bullet, one socialist, right from the get-go. How about we accurate the system, tweak it, instead of the Hollywood conditioning with the blaze and spray? Now, if you're watching these videos, there are different techniques being used. One of them is illusion. Now how do you create an illusion? On the battlefield you want somebody to think there's more of you out there or that you're really impressed with something. You're interested. Well you motivate them by firing them up. So there's videos where you'll see guys, you know, burning ammunition. They're not just spraying 30 rounds, but they are dumping rounds into a target area. And I'd point something out, even though they have full auto option, you will notice they've gone over to semi-auto and they are pumping 30 rounds into a target area but they're aiming in general with it. They're not just bursting the rounds through the area. There's a reason for that. They're trying to keep it into the general area for suppression. Now, other men, if you'll notice, are stopping and they're taking very careful aim and you just see one round go down range, well, that bullet's got a mission. Another thing, drag it off rifles. A lot of imagery showing you how they're employing the sniper rifle. A lot of imagery which is most critical for all of you to learn how to use weapons. You're going to see the employment of tripod-mounted belt-fed grenade launchers. The Russians have their equivalent. Guys, you're going to be capturing those. It would be kind of nice to know how to use them. One of the videos last night I snagged across showed the guy operating the thing flawlessly but going through the whole process of calibrating the aiming system. how to work the elevation, how to work the traverse, how to load it. And the very last thing he does is he dumps an entire, what, look like a 20 round drum of, you know, grenades down range. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, he did a saturation dump. You got a color when you're ready, Martin. Go ahead, yeah. So anyway, my point is, learn from these things because it shows you how to prep the RPGs because the guys are doing it in the field. It shows you why you watch your backwash. If you're working an anti-tank weapon, One of the things that I've noticed Hollywood is intentionally doing and they're doing it all the time now. Guys, if you take a rocket or a recoilless weapon, rocket fired or a recoilless fired weapon, and put it to your shoulder, you have to know what's behind you. There's two things. Either you're going to kill who's behind you because when something goes forward, there's a blast out the back. But the other thing is, if you're in a confined area, that blast, you're going to be right around and cut you in two. If you're in a building and what I've noticed they've done this several times in the movies Well, you just pick up the rocket launcher and you got a wall behind you. You just fire guys That was that rocket will go down range. You might even hit what you were aiming at But it's gonna that back blast is if you don't have the water you won't be right behind it Yeah, you're gonna be the next thing that feels whatever just happened and it'll get in too. So just case in point They're doing this intentionally watch the real world ignore the Hollywood garbage throw most of it out the window These guys are in real life situations. And again, it's not the poser or the staging stuff like you saw in Iraq where we're all doing this this way and it's always of course we're just overrunning everybody. Well of course we're playing police state in Iraq. All we were doing there was we'll drive around in circles, beat on the locals, kick indoors, confiscate guns. That way they're all trained to do that here in America. What you're seeing in the Ukraine a real battlefield situation of the type you're going to experience here. Because I'm not going to drive around in circles to confiscate guns from anybody. That's the cops on the other side. That's the army. That's the secret police. That's the internationalists. On our side, we're fighting a war. You want to see what that's like and get a better feel for what you need to be prepared to do, go watch these videos on YouTube and again, be selected. Just go right through them. You know, you've got to pay attention to some of it. Hey, I'm not going to do that that way, but you're going to get a chance to see what you know how to apply things what works We got a caller jumping their car before we go there. There's a difference between Confiscation and policing a battlefield great George. Yeah mark before I get my subject Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Oh, hello! And he fires the pistol and the guy goes out through the windshield. Right. Well, that's more realistic than that, remember. Well, he probably wouldn't even get out through the windshield. You know, the rocket motors, that rocket motor would cut you in two so fast, you wouldn't even have time to think about it. You're not even going to interrupt its thrust. Let me point that out. You're looking at things that move pounds of material. You know, we always see things in slow motion. Well, look at it in real time. Guys, you can't even see that rocket virtually leaving that too, can you? Right. Now understand what kind of thrust did it take, how many pounds of energy did it take to push how many pounds of material out of that tube. Do you think that your little fleshy body is going to slow down that thrust from that rocket in any way, shape or form? Yeah, if you like, literally like a laser beam cutting through you is what it's like. I mean, it's so fast. You wouldn't have time to think about it. Your body was plopping one direction to the other. If you're lucky, it's a headshot when you got hit. And you won't even have a clue because you're just, you know, much. Right. Yeah. But otherwise, it'd be like, wow, what just happened? And then you realize, wow, my legs are over there. I mean, seriously, now, the material that it hits behind you, that might take more work to get through. But as far as you or me, anything that's fleshy and with a little bone in it, we don't even slow it down. Seriously, and that's one of the things, the most realistic image in a movie that I've seen that gives you a better feel for this, if you watch Band of Brothers, and they did it intentionally because it looked dynamic, it's a scene that will jump out at you because you use it for one of the promos, where he's taken a 2.35 inch rocket launcher, which everybody calls a bazooka, the 2.35 inch was our first rocket launcher, and he steps up, he actually crouches down in front of a bunker, it's in, I believe, the Black Forest, and he's pointing fires, there's a little sapling behind the launcher. If you pay attention, it just cuts that tree right in two and turns it into flinders. It was an excellent shot. Whoever did that was trying to demonstrate something and did it in a way that, you know, otherwise normally Hollywood won't do. But they don't want you to think about that. They want you to be stupefied so you're into dumb mode. It's like common core math. Yeah, it's good. Yeah, you put it to your shoulder and you do this and it just automatically, point and click. They don't want to give you any of the intelligent details. They want to get you just enough to be there to be a meat puppet or forgive me a pop-up target or a casualty. because you made yourself a casualty. And I can't emphasize this enough. They know that they're doing this. This is not an accident. It's not by chance. Hollywood has massive numbers of experts and individuals who are brought in as technical advisors. Hollywood knows what they're doing, and especially the kosher mafia that runs Hollywood. They're trying to condition people to stupefy them. And that's why, you know, somebody mentioned the other day, the whole thing is, you know, bad guy's got a gun. You know, they're having this action, you know, they did, the person, you know, has a knife. Just because you saw it on TV doesn't mean that that's what I would work. You can't pick up that guy's gun. You don't pick up that guy's gun because it's a wicked evil gun because it was owned by a wicked evil guy. No, I stabbed him to death and I pick up his gun and I use it to do good things to get rid of bad evil people. How's that sound? This past Monday night the news Angela's brought Las Vegas CSI. There was a crime with an AR-15. CSI either tech dancing or somebody per minute if you had a couple hundred if you had anybody in the world can get all those sevens in not a lot of us here a Lee Harvey Oswald right they couldn't empty all of those in one minute so again it's propaganda it's why that's when they are 15 of that m16 type you know and it and they are 15 m16 pattern type in semi-auto so again take the time and as a way to do it guys go to punch in militia American videos, but right now the dominant, when you punch in that subject, the dominant is going to be the Ukraine. The other is going to be Syria, but most of the Syria stuff is mixed, most of that really is more propagandized, actual battlefield image, or the nutcases mass executing people. And the only reason I tell you to watch those videos, you see them shooting all those guys in the back of the head. Now do you see what I told you? You don't surrender but fight to the last bullet, the last man, and then you fight with your teeth and your claws? Are you gonna be stupid enough to be in a line like that to have your brains blown out? See, that's what bothers me. The only good thing is it's like it's sad that that person should have had that happen, that they should never have surrendered and they should have known better. I don't know what they thought they were gonna get out of the deal. A curious thing is, though, we've been to be is when you see hundreds of people walking along, there's two guys there with guns. Two guys with bolt-action rifles. Yeah, exactly. Oh, man, what's the deal? Well, when Solzhenitsyn talked about that, though, he said, you know, Pete, and this is what's happening in America, why do you think we've turned our schools into prisons? Even so that you got one... Solzhenitsyn pointed out, he goes, you know, when they started the round-ups, two guys with bolt-action rifles, and one of them had a sheet of paper with a hundred names on it. And he goes, we were so conditioned to follow orders of how we were conditioned by the school. When the communists showed up, two guys with bolt-action rifles with no more than five bullets in each gun went from farm to farm. And after, you know, they didn't grab, people came out of the house, got into the line, and marched down the road with their neighbor to their death. A hundred men were collected by two men with bolt-action rifles with a piece of paper that put you on a death list. And everybody had some idea that, well, maybe they aren't going to kill us. Well, they didn't kill everybody, and not everybody right away, but the majority that were on the list, well, they went down one road, and then the other part of the list went down the other road. And the ones that went to the right, and oversaw them again alive. Yeah, up to the door, exactly, the Czechest guys. So that's why, why would you, and by the way, those videos from Syria, that's not 40 years ago. That's not World War II, that's not Communists in the 20s, that's the world today. You see that character with the pistol or like those guys in the AKs where there literally, there's one picture of guys where there's a video right now. It looks like almost a mile's worth of men marching off into the desert just like described by Solzhenitsyn. And there's at least six men abreast. And the next thing you see is they've got them all laying down and they're AK'ing them to death. Now they're not even doing a good job. They're standing back about 30 feet and they're just kind of riddling everybody with bullets. So these guys didn't die fast. Some of them start to move like, you know, a friend of mine, like I said, he's got a divot, he's still alive. He's one of my, he was one of my combat instructors. He has, he can take his little finger and lay his little finger on a 45 degree angle on the back of his head into his skull. That's from a communist officer putting the pistol to the back of his head and trying to blow his brains out. So if he watched the guy do it, the guy was like a machine. He walked down this road. He put about 900 of them along the road. One step apart, this character would go from person to person like a machine. He would step, step, turn. The guy came to him. He flinched forward and to the left. Now he got shot, the guy popped the bullet right through the back of his skull, on the base of his skull it came out right by his ear, popped into the ditch, the hundreds of other people that were there. The river, the water, there was no water in the ditch, it was just a rifulet of blood, like about ankle deep, ran for a- And he lay there, and all the while he lay there, he said, I didn't move, and I dare not move, because you could hear a truck go by, every once in a while you could hear the brakes go, BEE-IX! And somebody would jump out of the truck because you could hear footsteps. And you'd hear him go, bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah b I could get into the deeper blood in the ditch, 100 yards down the edge of the, down past the bodies, there was a covert that went under the road and he goes, I crawled in there and amongst the blood and stench. And he goes, I stayed there for two days. Mucks go by and little machine gun fire once in a while. And then he walked all the way to Iran with bullet hole in the back of his head from, from, oh, by the way, he was in the Ukraine. He liked that. So guys, you don't surrender, you fight. fight even if you're hurt you fight me you continue to fight even if you're mortally wounded why do you love the person next to you are you fighting because you're get a brother in arms next to you well but even as you're dying or even as you have one last breath one of them think about it every chance you can every moment you've got kill one of them because that's one less will hurt the person you love will you like George there George what else did you have for us real quick but you know I think I've been here at least listening to a keep the check And you know he said there to go, Russia's crying out for help and uh, I mean, he could tell he's like uh, you know he's working for the establishment by the rhetoric he was saying. And I didn't say one thing about Russia, they're doing better than we are and uh, you know, seeing what the Brix Alliance and them signing out, Russia and China signed that wall and gas deal with the Brix Nation. I don't think Russia is really uh, hurting that much compared to what we are. First of all, everybody that's gotten into this drama all understand where they are in history and the Russians would not get caught flat-footed. Contrary to what the propaganda is, we're hurting the Russians, we're hurting the Russians. The only people that are really being hurt in this whole thing are the Ukrainian people themselves. The Russians can go on without the Ukraine and so can pretty much anybody else. The biggest problem I have with this whole thing is that if the Ukrainian people could have shot these foreigners that came in from outside, mostly the kosher mafia type of King, the Israelis that came in from the south, if the Ukrainian people had been smart, rather than throwing rocks at each other, they should have gone and hunted down these foreigners, executed every last one of the bankers, and then, you know, hey, it's gone their separate ways. Even right now, if the Ukrainian, Eastern and Western Ukrainian people were smart, if they were real, the people themselves, demand a ceasefire, everybody just live where you are and watch to see what happens because you know what? If they all stop shooting each other right now, but there's the West Wall, the kosher mafia and the queers that run, that are pushing Western Ukraine, they're gonna stop until they steal as much as they can and that means they covet the East. So the people who are pushing this are the people that are manipulating all of us on our side. And they're the fault. They are bottom line of fault. This is a war of aggression. There ain't no doubt about it. They're, they're piddling the pool to steal somebody else's property and I'm in respect for them whatsoever. Red to bottom gentlemen. And we're, anyway, good. Anything else? I'll let you go. Uh, no, not yet. Thank you gentlemen. Thank you very much. And again, remember Chairman Mo Obama, if you didn't see it guys, where he's wearing the little Chinese peasant suit in the blood red, this dark blood red, dry color. Well, looks like a Chinese Star Trek episode to me when you look at the captain characters in the space. Now we're going to break sir. Hey, more on Star Trek when we come back.

Any marketer knows exactly what you're doing. That's a good idea, Joe. Hooray. Sometimes you gotta break the mold. That's it. Again, if you have some friends, okay, listen to what I'm saying. Maybe you have some friends that don't even listen to the micro effect. Go over and ask you, hey man, how you guys want a free month of advertising? Okay? And especially if they're connected to the web, you know, you can order like the least IK candles or something along those lines. You can just order right off the web or call them on the phone. Okay? But like I say, one month of free advertising, but you have to have your commercials your advertisement in here by the first of December. Okay, so it gives you plenty of time. Here we are the 12th of November. Gives you plenty of time to put something together, get everything rounded up, but let me point this out. Don't spend much time talking about, well my product does this, you know, blah blah blah. Give us a little something about your product and what's more important is the contact information. Yep. That's what's more if you have a website include that a phone number include that and focus on the website and the contact information and throw a little bit out about your product and Overall the oh they get because ultimately here. Here's what I haven't done. I'll tell you this mark will tell you this What was that address again? I missed the phone number So you want to throw the phone number out there two or three times. You want to put your web address or the contact information out two or three times. You can say, yes, we have the best combat boots in all of America. Whatever it is, but you let them call you and get the rest of that information. But you want to get the contact information. It's what you're really focusing on with a little bit of information about your product. And that's how it works. So again, it doesn't necessarily have to be you. The listener, maybe we can encourage those people to tune into the Micro Effect WellVay, want to listen to their own commercial or something along the lines, but for the month of December, once more, we will run any and all commercials that are in here by December the 1st, for absolutely free, for the entire month of December. So there you go folks, we want to do our part to help, you know, America, who is, you know, obviously scraping the bottom of the trail. We're all doing what we can. We can't necessarily afford to do a lot of things, but advertising and business and somehow, as we know, it all goes together. And if somebody knows you're there, well then they can contact you for your product or whatever and go from there. So I just wanted to throw that out there this morning here on Weapons Wednesday. And Mark and Dom, we do have a caller. We have Myron in Pennsylvania there. Good morning, Myron. Good morning. I have a question for Mark about you were mentioning the 1911. It's quite a pipe or a handgun and it's just much in service at the time it came out. I acquired an ESSO 40. It's the first gun I ever had. Now I'm very familiar with the M16. I was in regards for 11 years and we can take that thing apart and clean it back together. But I noticed with this And the SR-40, a lot of it seems to be in the upper receiver. It just comes apart and it's something I can't really take apart or clean. And I think it's the 1911 where I think it has actually a hammer. It can actually pull back or just release. Is that considered what they call a double action or... Well, no, you've got a hammerless versus a hammered weapon, an exposed hammer weapon. You have a striker where you have a number of different, you know, release systems depending upon the pistol. You're talking about your handgun, correct? Yes. Yeah, the difference is, you know, like versus the Glock using the striker system, most of the American automatics leading up to the 11 were hammer because of a, part of it was just simply because of the philosophy of getting back to the revolver. It overlapped. Somebody wanted a physical control. The hammer system became very dominant, but where the striker system became very, very famous and preferred, there was less of something to hang up. So that's where the, in the semi-automatic pistol, that's where the division was in the two, the thing is that, as is always the case, hammered weapons have been in all sizes. Striker or hammerless weapons originally started out mostly in the pocket pistol category 25, 32, 3D Auto. Happened as they blossomed out. I mean everybody takes a design and goes, why don't we make it bigger or why don't we do something different with it. The biggest issue is that you can assemble and do all the fun maintenance and work you need to, but it's typically a lot more work to get it done. It's a matter of whether or not the engineer made your design user friendly. for that purpose or whether they expected an armor to maintain it. In armies, we have armorers, so the guy usually has a toolbox there that has all the right pins, you know, keepers and retention, you know, brackets to disassemble a gun so quickly that you and I will go, wow, you look lucky, you know what you're doing. We don't have those. I mean, we don't have all the special tools, that's why I always say, if you do have a carry arm like an M1 carbine, bolt breakdown tool is nice to have. Those were armorers tools, you can buy them from the parts company still. So you grab one. Common best solution for most of your maintenance because of the problems you had in disassembly. Fine penetrating oil. And I've been serious about this with handguns especially. I would also say the same thing of most of your older military weapons. By the best rate of high end penetrating maintenance oil that you can, obviously do whatever cleaning you can allow the path. Just having that lubricant to prevent or abrasion between the two working surfaces in a closed system are the most critical. Another area not just in handguns, but with handguns, this is really true with the extractor. In many cases, extractors are pressed in or pressed pins that are in, and you and I typically aren't going to disassemble those. We're not going to take them apart unless we have to because they're damaged. Well, the way they get damaged is the two pieces of metal graze each other. And the same with the firing, even some component of the slide, You want to make sure that those are lubr- that some lubricant gets between the two surfaces on a regular basis. So the higher end, you know, higher grade penetrating oils are typically your best choice. And there's some very fine oils. They're not going to be cheap. But I would invest in them and then I would make a point of doing maintenance with those. After you've dis- obviously unload the weapon, cleared everything out. Allow the penetrating oil to work on the weapon itself and nail it on the parts. Let them rest and- reassemble the weapon and put it back on line. The upper portion of the question, the whole thing, as the bullet fires, the slide goes back, brings the hammer to battery, bringing in other weapons again. There's not a slide action gun out there that isn't a self-cocker. You look at a revolver, early revolvers weren't here. The portion of the question we hope to answer, double action. You had to pull the hammer back doing that because when he pulled the trigger, that had no action on the hammer. In a single revolver, there are action slide guns, you know, like a 1911 Glock has some, lesson has some. The 1911, if hammer is down, nothing is going to happen if the section gun is itself being done. Does that answer your question in the double action portion? Oh yes, because I can see the pin in the back of the upper receiver and I can slide forward, but there's no way I can leave that pin except for pulling the trigger. The way the striker system is set up, the release and strike nature of the sear and how it operates, the mechanism releasing the spring and allowing the learning to travel through its process and make contact with the cap. The thing is that this has been the bait for years is that you don't have any direct control of a sealed system and so you have what are called depers and decocking braces. They have something like this on the Canik I was talking about, I remember here the last couple of months. The Canik has an interesting decocking lever, actually it's not a lever, it's like a push bracket on the top of the slide because of the very issue that you're talking about. How do I deactivate the gun if I don't want to shoot this, I don't want to pull the trigger and activate the bullet, how do I, you know, decock it? Well that's when you hear that term, that decocking tool, the, for instance, Let's see, Ruger started doing this first. I was never really excited about it because people can get confused. I'd rather you just drop the mag, pull the bullet, and let the hammer fall on an empty chamber than to decock the gun. Seriously. Because you're still going to have to recharge it or reactivate it one way or another. And so you're better off just slipping the bullet back into the magazine, the cartridge back in the magazine, and work the action as needed if you want to keep it deactivated. It's the one issue that has always been an ongoing debate with that particular design for as long as they've had them in existence because there's always been the higher argument about the safety factor. Not only if you first of all have to have confidence in your safety because that's really the only thing that's going to keep it from going boom. Don't forget the French in many cases forgot to even include a safety. Their logic was, if you do not want the gun to go boom, you're not okay. You mean like that guy climbing the ladder at Waco? I can't believe this. There seems to be a lot there that I can't break into. What is that all about? Like, I'm just used to... Well, it's a closed system. In other words, you remember, it's pin or press fittings. It's the idea, to a degree, of, not only throwaway, but remember the idea is that they knew that the working parts are good for so many tens of thousands of rounds. logic is why mess with it or is this cheaper you know it's purely an economics issue. Military designs we like you said it's designed to be very user-friendly. You as a pistol marksman or as a weapons operator in the military you could take that 1911 down to its smallest component with an existing hand tool you know you have the 45 if you've got the L type takedown tool between that push pin on one end and the screwdriver plate on the other and that little lever, you know, that you've got, the way it's built, you can take the 45 right down to its smallest components. And it was intentionally designed, that's why Donald says, God bless John Moses Browning. In more modern times, people have had different philosophies that have been allowed to float to the surface. One of them is build and accept a certain amount of failure. If something happens, you're supposed to take it back to the factory, take it to a gunsmith. That is the division in philosophy with the different engineering mindsets. So a lot of it that we can't get to, it's because it's press fitted. It's an integrated design with a sealed system. Intentional design supposedly to performance survivability in some ways, stuff to get into. It's kind of like the philosophy of the M16 in terms of its gas system. That's a cool idea, except it also doesn't let stuff. And that's why, as I pointed out, if you can't break it down, do as much preventive maintenance as you can to ensure that you extend the life of the weapon system. Meaning lubrication. Lubrication. Yeah, it's not just your handbook. It could be any number of weapon systems that are like this. A lot of .22s are like this. If you think about it, there's a lot of .22s that are, you know, they're cheap. Remember, you used to buy a .22 for $65. It was pretty much all prepped, fitted together. You weren't planning on taking the extractor out of the bolt. And it lasted for those guns that are on for 40, 50 years and they were just well built. And they still get carved up, so maintenance and cleaning is the issue. The biggest problem is what usually kills it is in the long run, at some point there's enough gunk that builds up. Neglect. Neglect is what kills it. Yeah, neglect. And that's where, again, the best preventive measure like your weapon is probably flawlessly working right now. But because it's a closed system, like you said, you can't get to certain things. You can't disassemble them without doing some form of significant action that's going to actually break the part, you know, to break a component. And that happens because instead of using threads or instead of using a tension pin, they may have used a compression pin and they have, what they did is they, like a rivet, they actually expanded the head and it has locked the component into place. The only way that you are going to get that part out, that major component, is by compromising slash breaking that surface, which means that in order for you to put it back together, you have to have another pin that you can splay and expand to the same dimension. You know, the head, kind of like a riveting process. And they did that intentionally. It's cheaper. It's just the idea that it was designed to be an inexpensive weapons design. It's a cheaper solution. And if you want more, buy another gun. Even cheaper. of plastic. Yeah, which is what the, remember the Glock, you know, it was right on the, money on that. The Glock was designed to be a throwaway handgun that was only supposed to cost 20, $30 to build. Yeah. We're spending $500 on a Glock and understand that when the military, the Austrian military wanted a handgun, they wanted a handgun that could make so cheap they could give it to any man they wanted. All he had to do was pick it up, point it towards something, point and click, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And any man would carry it because it was lightweight and it was throw away, but everybody could have one. The radio operator, the truck driver, the medic, even the guy wounded could carry one in his pocket and immediately go, oh, you're going to get me. you can shoot at you from the stretcher. Even a micro-effect Chaco's could have one. Exactly. And the fact of the matter is that it was designed that it would be a combat loss thing. It was going to get busted and broken. So they didn't really need to have it break down all the way. Another place where this came into play before we saw this in most of the industry, say in the 90s, back during the 60s, I always talk about the HK pistols. If you look at the HK pistols in the early 60s and the several different designs that they came up with, their argument was minimal working parts, no maintenance in the field, you shoot it until it breaks and go get another one. And so everything was an integrated parts system. In fact, most of it, the reason there were so few working parts is because they machined all the working components onto the parts that were there. And if one part broke, it broke the whole machine. There was no way to fix it, no way to change it. You had to change that whole part. You'd have to change like the whole slide. Drop the slide, throw it away, get another slide, put it on. Because there was nothing you could do to fix it. And that was a throwaway philosophy. But that's what you're asking about, I think, is some of it we just can't do anything about because of the design. But on the other hand, there's a spectrum going with a 1911 with a well-made handgun. Do what you want to go with a hammer. And which is, is there something, except for the fall of 1911? I prefer the 1911 designs, although again I've mentioned, you know, there are some P-80s. If you're looking for a handgun right now, the 1911 is still the most common for everything. Magazines, barrels, spare parts, ammunition. Looking for a bottle of stock drawer. Yeah, everybody's got one sitting somewhere out there. But the thing is, I still would go, I prefer a hammer gun. It doesn't mean I haven't owned a hammerless gun, cause you know, for instance, I used to be able to buy Astra some automatic pistols for $65 and $85 a piece all day. And you know what? We did. Why? Because they were cheap. Why? Because I could give a guy a handgun for $65. So I got a rack of those sitting somewhere away from me here. Get away. If need be, I could take 20 Astras and I could hand a pistol out to each man that had cost me $65 back in the 80s. Now, is it is the best choice? No, I prefer the 1911. But you know what? I just got 20 men armed for bargain basement. They can go kill somebody and help me out to get the job done. And we'll, you know, we can win a battle with it. We're almost out of time here, gentlemen. Yeah, the overall philosophy of a hammer exposed or not comes basically from where do you want to carry the gun? Yeah, it's in and it gets better control over the operating mechanism, I think, in general, because there's that confidence You can make a machine work differently, but there's something about physical, manual, a very different confidence in the shooter and the operator. Yeah. Hammers are great in a pocket. That's what they were for. Concealed gun, hammerless. If it's a weapon where it's a combat weapon, even then concealed. Hey, 99% of the guys out there I know are carrying .45. A lot of people listening right now that are fellow listeners to you are carrying .1911 right now. Including your guy on the other end of the phone here. Yep. So it's a personal choice flavor thing. We need more time. We probably will talk more about this in tomorrow. How's that sound? Thank you Mark. I just, it's so interesting. I wouldn't get rid of what you got, but like I said, looking at the future, a diversified toolbox is a good thing. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? Guns are for buying, not for selling. Keep the one you, whatever you've got, understand its issues, what it needs to have to keep it running, and then add to the toolbox. And we're out of time. And again, I'll point out those SKS's are showing up on the battlefield in the middle of the Ukraine where the AK-74 was supposed to replace everything. Guess that didn't happen. Anything is better than nothing. That's right. The harsh language in Iraq, or... Well, I guess I could use the harsh language. Anyway, we're going down your number for night vision. Apollo 231796, 84580. And folks if you can't see in the dark we want you to give John a call. Thank you Mark. Thank you Don. Thank you John.
