Those stupid things are going for now. In the Grasshopper green, the Mod Green with all the black trim, the real cool looking black interceptor trim. I had somebody who just begged me and begged me and begged me and begged me and begged me and begged me and it's like, well I like the car but you know what, we just offered, yeah, I can take that, but as long as you take care of it, which they did, they actually still got the car. Of course they also are bragging about how much cars worth. That's the kind of thing. Even if you just wanted two of those, $200,000 is a nice step towards your retirement package, guys. Know what I mean? Think about it. $200,000 for the price of. And now there's a lot of ways you can do that in different areas with guns. And I've mentioned this many times as something else, glass. I'll tell you something that's neat about glass. Now cars rust. Rubber deteriorates. Guns, they rust or things get tired on them. It can happen. You gotta take care of them. But if you take right now and go to a yard sale, now don't say somebody didn't tell you this, to get into a war. When you get into a war, the bus gets busted up. One of the things, these things you could do would be like buried treasure paper that you just have on the set. And go to the yard sales, any corning ware, correll ware, or any American glassware that says Made in America, cups, plates, that kind of thing, especially if they're in the set. Because there is no more U.S. made in USA, number one. Most people don't understand that. It's China Sport, China Sport, and when they cut us off, it's gonna really be bad for, you know, because of the China Sport thing. But this is pre-fall American glass, or at least, let's put it this way, pre-second to Big Depression, or whatever you wanna call it, there'll be a benchmark and a name for it. And it'll be Americana. Now, even under other strange conditions, it would still be Americana. Defeated Japan stuff is really popular right now. Defeated German stuff is always popular. Blah blah blah blah. Go right down the list. You know what I mean? If you just put it in the basement, you can put it in the dampest, dunkest, nastiest basement. You know what it'll be 10 years from now? Glass. Glass. Does it mold? It falls on it. Yeah, that's the only way something happens, so you gotta think ahead on that. That's the only thing. If it's on a good sturdy shelf, the bottom of the shelf and you stuck in the back end and you just the box could rot around it the shelves could rot off but that glass would still be there a hundred years from now oh yeah and a hundred years from now what do you think it's worth 40 30 60 you take your pick you see and the thing is walk it out of the back 40 create a car like we've talked about and how about you just bury a whole bunch of it just leave it out there where nothing can fall in it nothing can break it nothing can smash it you know you make it square the thing away just bury it and then come back later. Benchmark it, you know where it is? It's kind of like a glass cemetery. Actually what it is is an archaeological dig waiting to be explored. And it would do nothing but appreciate in value, guys. Nothing but appreciate. That's all it would do. Sounds weird, but it's because what? Well, glass breaks. Hell, under certain conditions, even the broken ones are worth something. Well, of course, it was a thousand. Like you said in Indiana Jones, Dr. Jones, see this watch. On the street, is it a $10 item? But I bury it, come back a thousand years and dig it up? It is worth a fortune. Remember? I told him that and he was stating a fact. Don't have to wait a thousand years, depending on what it is. So again, with Arms and Ammunition Works the same way, it was one of those, boy, although I did have a bunch, in fact, I've had some interesting guns over the years. I had something nothing really fancy, but most people didn't realize what it was until I had to explain it, and then it's now in a collection. I had the sixth model M1927 Check 32 ACP automatic came off the line. Everybody had to keep looking at it, going, what's the serial number on that? It's number six. It was a pre-war gun, threaded for silencing. It was a check, overlapping slash German production issue gun. Serial number 6. Well there was a reason the Germans wanted Czechoslovakia. Oh there were a lot of cool things in that country. Not the least of which were all the firearms they made. And the Škoda work. So what it is, is this gun, this particular gun, I got it for $45 at a gun show. And he goes, that's a little check 32. I said, yeah, it is. I kept looking at it. You know what's different about it? There are two catches and latches that were only there in the first 500 or so. I didn't say a word, I just picked it up. Now I sold that for a good chunk, but not as extravagant as I could. But the guy who sold it next to I know personally, he bought a whole brand new car with it. The purchaser paid dearly for it. Yeah. And he actually, he had to, all he had to do was wait and he found that again. Well, of course he had appreciated value. With every passing year, guys, a lot of the stuff, well, you know, we don't think about it this way. We look at it as military. They're now starting to talk about the imported China stuff, which now you can't get anymore as more and more of a collector's item. See, you're starting to hear that word with what we consider utility tools, right? especially certain weapons which like I told everybody, well guys if it's unique buy it because that's the first thing to go up in value. The Chinese all-steel stamp bullpups that came out in the 80s, remember these? The late 80s, early 90s, they were all stamped, they are in the inventory, the Chinese used them for a while but they're up to a bunch of other new bullpups. They still carry a bullpup, they've got it in service but they've got several of their newer models. But this thing was all stamped, it was their first expedition into bullpupism. And it's stupid priced now. Another one, the Velmae, you know, was it M82? The M82 bullpup, the Velmae that was used, if you watch the movie, Terminator. And you've got that future scene where you see them and they're coming into the bunkers and they're talking as they come in and you see the foot scene where they're stepping over the, you know, obstacles. When you see the troops and you pay attention, they're carrying a vel- what reason looks so futuristic? They didn't have to make that gun. That gun was already being made by Velmae. You know, we were getting those guns for $325 apiece, guys. Out of the box. Brand new. Go check to see what a Velmae bullpup caught on. Well, let's reference something a lot of people know but may have never seen before. A lot of you have it, but you don't have that. M16 type pattern gun be it in a 308 or a 223 with the carry handle and what looks like a trigger under the carry handle. The very earliest of those guns. Yeah. And that is not a trigger but you'll notice also there's no place to grab that charging handle in the rear. Yup. That's because that thing looks in fact they always look like that like you got two triggers on this gun I could turn it upside down and no no that's not what that does. A-16 slash air 15 pen and rifle is a very unique weapon. And of course it has had some significant changes, none of which exist with the M4 versus the M16, or air 15 by the way. That's only the earlier guns that have significant changes. As I pointed out, I got this conversation right after the program just real quick on some messaging. It's like, hey, if the M4 and the M16 are so different, then why are all the parts interchangeable? totally different gun really so the upper and lower receiver are totally alien can't match anything up gotta throw all your parts away if you have an m16 you know A2 inventory well no then it's not really it should have been the m16 A3 or A4 which should be the M you take that and put it over on there and you swap the top it works perfect still it slides right over and all the parts stay gun with a longer barrel over here and a shorter barrel over there wait a minute you shouldn't be able to do that it's a totally different gun oh you they lied those buggers lied! Okay, caller, who do we have? Jump in there. We've got John, you can touch it. A pushmaster pistol, that swivel, the left and the right. Yes, had more than a dozen of them. And then out the other day, I had a rifle case that I put together. As a kid, it had every one of the long, every kind of flash fighter that was made for the Air 15 fits that. So I had one of everything in this back in the early 80s. 20 magazines, and a rifle, hard rifle, shell rifle case. the pistol, uh, Mitchell drums, it had everything. It looked like you were pulling out a rifle and everybody opened the case and we go, what's that? And that's a Bushmaster pistol, which they used to advertise like Dirty Harry, this is the most powerful handgun in the world. Except you- Go ahead. The original sales manual that came with it, two original 20 round waffle mags. These are worth as much as the rifle in many ways. the contract mags that came with the gun. Now that gun originally was where, if you've got some of the original literature you may have the model, well the portfolio where it actually shows the guy, it looks like he's an air crewman hanging out of the side of a Huey, like out of the door, he's hanging out the door and he's got the Bushmaster in his arm, in his right arm. He's holding onto the stanchion with his left and he's firing the gun. And the original proposal for this is that this was supposed to be an excellent like air crewman's gun for a helicopter cruise. If you put down and you crash, chances are something broke. You could use it. Which is what this looks like from the pistol grip and the bot receiver above. Think big Ruger pistol. It looked like a wonky Ruger pistol from the side. But there's still the rear rest of the receiver. The magazine well is to the rear of the pistol grip. And that whole fixture, everything pivoted so that you could rest the receiver basically on your forearm on the left side or your forearm on the right side. And it was top ejection. Now the last models were side ejection because Bushmaster was making the Bushmaster design rifle at the same time they were making that pistol. The rifle was a standard magazine configuration, just like a It was a cross between the AK and the AR. Took all AR-15 internal parts just like the Bushmaster pistol does. But it had an AK type gas system, much girthier, very simple. And back in the day you could buy all 2.5 Bushmaster rifles for the price of one AR-15. I believe the price on this one was $145. A whopping. Original sales. It is a three, I have the three digits. Again, low end serial number to begin with makes them again that much more valuable. Behind the gun, you know, considering what we've had problems with for whatever reason with government contracts with light weapons, the CAR-15 of course was out there with air crews just like it was with special warfare units. The Bushmaster pistol is supposed to have seen a limited service issue at the end of the Vietnam War, but also in apparently the Philippines and in Thailand. I'm talking to guys back here, well actually guys I served with, and when we were running around collecting these things, they go, yeah, some of the guys had these, they just, you know, again it was late. A lot of other guns were already in service. Everybody can pretty well pick what they chose from the arsenal because there were just piles of weapons and not as many men towards the end. And the Bushmaster just kind of faded out. It was not a bad idea and the interesting thing is when they say most powerful handgun in the world Remember they always did that in the Dirty Harry movies, you know, this is the most powerful handgun in the world. Think about your head clean off your shoulders Well, the idea was it was a rifle cartridge and you can fire 30 rounds as quick as you can pull the trigger So it offered you a lot of firepower for a little pistol package that you know, it's firing a high-powered rifle round It was a sound idea When Bushmaster first came up with it and their production was slower, they had very high reliability. But when they started to crank them out faster and trying to get a bunch of them out, their quality control dropped a bit because the production, I believe at that time, was out of Hallea, out of Florida. Same area where they built the universal carbine and basically in the same area or group where Kel-Tec is. There's a bunch of weapons companies down there. Most of them are Redder Revolution slash, you know, spook and coop. And if you look at Kel-Tec, you'll notice like Bushmaster, Kel-Tec's weapons have definitely clandestine application. They're really cool, they're well built, and they are unique. Think about it, take a look at them. They're a throwaway bullpup rifle. The brass collects, it does not eject guys, it collects and it is dumped out a shoot that goes out the front of the weapon. If you want to make sure you don't leave anything, any telltale signature, being able to have your brass secure when you're firing like that is kind of nice. Know what I mean? With a silence gun, with big boy optics, or some really cool thermal, that kind of game. That's one of the things about the Florida operations. They're usually tied in with either the Moosehead, the Moose Thod, or other spook and cooke alphabet soup agencies, or organized crime, which is the same thing. So it's interesting, again, a lot of the weapons like this, but I mentioned Bushmaster, I guarantee 90% of people only heard that. Well, Mark, I've got a Bushmaster AR-15. That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about a different era where the original Bushmaster company, when they came into play, they had their own designs. This was an era when we actually had different weapon systems. The Hack 7, the Bushmaster Bullpup, the Bushmaster Mark 1 and Mark 2, the Stevens guns, Acheson 12. Anybody ring a bell there on that one? Acheson, and here's the thing, everybody's making look-alike 12 gauge, you know, M16 look-alike shotguns now. The person who was the spearhead in that was Atchison, and the Atchison 12 was originally supposed to be built in open bolt. And one of the reasons is he was building a select fire shotgun in the open bolt configuration. Well, the feds started to frown on the idea that we peasants should have open bolt guns even if they were restricted to semi-auto. So that kind of stumbled up a lot of weapons, although many were built even into the 80s. Typically they would run short runs and then the Fed would try to find some excuse to put the company out of business. Over and over and over again. Because, well, American when we still had, you know, engineering brains, we all get creative, you know. And an open bolt gun means you don't have cook-offs, guys, when it gets hot after volume fire. It ends up a lot of different weapon systems. They're not obsolete, that's what's comical. I always say when somebody says, it's obsolete, really. I'll take that Springfield 3 brand trap door and put a bullet in you right now and kill you just as dead as it did in 1882, right? Obsolete is perspective. It may be less useful, it could be obsolescent in some ways, but as far as taking the weapon and applying it, well, example is I would take that 45-70 trap, or nowadays, it would be using smokeless powder. So there ain't no big powder puff at the end of that tube. Right? Taking that as a single-shot gun, I'd say that'd be pretty effective, Dom. Oh, yeah. I'd like that people are buying single-shot bolt guns these days. That sounds like an obsolete platform right off the gate. There are a lot of things you can do with a... ...the SEAL or a 3.3 Chi-Tech or... ...even a .30 caliber bolt gun that's built to a single shot if it's built to good tolerances. Be very useful. Plan on shooting a second time from this position. I don't know how that... that works. Remember we talked about this. You know, because we said, well, after you fire a second shot, they'll find you. Who says I'm firing a second shot from here? I have high, you know, I'm not bragging, but here's how it works. Having enough time on the range, I have high confidence in my abilities, I know what my limits would be, I have high confidence in my performance, and I understand what it is that I need to look for in order to get something done with the firearm. Now, once that's, you know, set, the one thing I know is you can tell, I've said this a million times, you know when you're on the mark. And it's part of the, it's the wall of the range, guys. Seriously. You'll be sitting there and it's just like you're in the niche. You know, people, I'm in the groove. I'm not getting up from this site. What do you mean? I'm not getting up. I'm in the groove. And you'll just be in relay after relay and you are just tack driving. Your body sets, muscle memories, take a skeletal rest, all these other formulas, and your brain's in, you know, in pattern, okay? It's just, it's just not being distracted. That's what you have to find. Every time you go, especially if you're going into a fighting situation where you're looking at delivering rounds to knock down your enemy to save your friends' lives, because that's how you have to look at it. Everyone I get rid of can't hurt another one of my friends. Well, the farther out I reach, the more that I can do like that, which is why, to me, that's what I have to gravitate to. I am very comfortable with shooting you at 700 yards, and I will do it. intermediate slash that's that's well like I said 475 yard in 14 that was our center shot but 700 yards and he keeps telling me you could find a shot like that the rifleman a rifle marksman makes the shots guys creates the shot lane if you know your land you know where these shots are how many times have we tried to underscore that it's comical because what is is people have this mantra it's like I said we must resort to musket range But let me ask you, how many times have you walked, for all you guys that are like, say, Arizona, New Mexico, Kentucky, here in Michigan, you walk your back 40 and you can step to a spot where you can see all the way back to the front entrance of your property, but nobody can see you, that kind of a position because I can sit somebody and observe, and again, observe all for as far as I need to see, maybe farther, hopefully, if I do it right, but if I end up having to fight somebody, A heavy rifleman from that position can shoot for a period of time virtually undetected. Because in the den of a closer rattle battle, that rifle farther out isn't even going to be registered by those who are in the middle of, say, a light rifle battle at closer range. Before they even realize, in fact, they would never realize where those casualties were coming from. And you know one of the tricks? While that rifleman's firing at 700 yards, you have everybody, you know, on my mark, and the assistant, you know, It gives a nod on the radio with a double click. And you fire up a bunch of rounds. Everybody dumps a few rounds downrange. Well, they'll never hear that. Both sides will be wailing away. You see how it works? But there's one on the other side who's not wailing anymore. He's wailing, but in a different way. He's not shooting anymore. He's probably screaming and wailing a lot if he's hurt bad. Maybe he's not making a noise because he's dead. Paging with your heavy rifles and your long range marksmen. You do not waste your long-range marksman walking up and trying to beat their head against a wall. And ideally, once we get you all trained properly, you're all long-range riflemen. Change the battlefield completely and the enemy will not dictate the conditions. From the S.B. attitude from the riflemen through to the squad, the fireteam and squad leaders, through to the platoon leaders, through to the company commanders, the brigade commanders, the idea is we are masters of the trade. It's just that simple. Not anyway, Masters of Daylight is one thing, but we have to at least be competent fighters and masters at night. And Don, you have the technology, night vision, and thermal. How can we get hold of you? The web page, and what do we have available to deal with those problems to the greatest range possible at night, please? Well, we've got digital and green screen and thermal, and if you want to talk about any of that, give me a call. My number is 231796. Again, 2684. 58 we can talk about goggles or gun sights or green screen gun sights or thermal gun sights or Even digital guns. I did mention gun sights, right? Okay, why d we dot us you can see parts there the digital gun sights There's a digital viewer there too. I can put that in your mailbox for the procedure dollars That's when you look everything else on the on the site there and in price on if you call me I we've I can't advertise for less than what you see there. If you call me, we can do a deal on the phone that's, you know, independent of advertising. And we can reduce the prices. I can give you code and we can come up with a lesser price. 3-1-7-9-6-8-4. Oh, let's qualify that. Gun sight at 4 power. Now, if you've got any moon in the sky, if you've got a full moon in the sky, you could shoot with good contrast to the back, you could shoot at 1,000 yards with that. Got good contrast to the target to the background. It would be easier to say 600 yards if someone is moving and they're camouflaged. And the camouflage is pretty good for the area, but they're moving and they're not concealed by anything else. With a full moon you could target at 600 yards with this piece. When the moon is gone you're going to be down to about 100. In a generation piece you can add about 100 to 150 yards to each of those claims. They are light level dependent. The thing about thermal is it doesn't care how much light is there, it just registers heat. a thermal for a dollar less than two thousand dollars. Actually there's a discount on that now too. Recognize a human being. You know by the shape of what you're seeing on the screen that there's a head and arms and hands and at 340 meters that's about 375 yards. Beyond that the figure moves farther away it will become more and more a blob as it becomes simply pixelated you know farther and farther away. So you'd be able to see that person farther away if they were running away. you would designate that target and well watch it move away and move away. But eventually you wouldn't be able to recognize it as a human being anymore, but if you tracked it as it was moving away, you would still have confidence in what that target is, right? 140 meters, that hardly seems like range for a 50 cal. We're talking like 223, 308, you know? But that'd go good on either one of those guns. If you're, oh, again, It's $51 less than $2,000 now. And that's including delivery. And I shouldn't have done that because I'm advertising at that price. So you didn't hear that on the air. Call me and we'll come to a price on that, okay? You move up in the thermal to the complete other end. You're talking around. I can have got the paperwork here. I don't want to give you because we came to some different, some things are happening on the website even today. If you move up to the top of the line, Thor, that's got twice as big a screen as the entry level. The viewing area, it's got a hundred millimeter and it goes from five to 50 power. Hey, that piece lists for $5,999. It used to, I used to be able to offer something like that for about 15K, but now we're at $6,000 there and if you want it, we can talk 56.99. I'll say that on the air, but there's a code, so it's I didn't give you the code, so if you give me a call I can give you the code for... And there are numerous between those two graduands of the bottom to the top. There's like six or seven other pieces in there and it moves up in scale, the greater the performance in the thermal. I'll apply that, but you guys, the thermal will do things the green screen won't. The green screen will do things the thermal won't. And the digital will do things that the green screen won't. If you're looking, give me a call and we can figure out what you need, what applications, you know many of you that have called over the years and we start talking about gun sites, the first thing, my first question when we start talking about gun sites is, what's your ranges? When you step out of your door, you go to places where you might think are your area of operation, what are your ranges? And many of you might recognize that. That's part of providing for you the tools that you need. If you want to see them, go over to the website. That's ydtoe.us. If you have any questions about anything you see there, give me a call. My number is 2319648. Again, 2317968458. Thank you, Mark. Well, The Stranger, when Don Betcher is available, guys, makes no sense. Hey, what we are... little past the, well more and little past now, I was wearing a little liquor candy in there real quick. Again, for all of you riflemen out there, and I expect all of you to understand the value and the, that cherished title of the American riflemen. We ain't talking the magazine, we're talking about taking seriously that title and the fact that many units, brave rifles, Rifleman actually was the term that is actually in many different original unit crests many years ago back in the Revolutionary War. They didn't have unit patches, guys. But they had unit guidance, unit crests, unit shields, and each had mottos. And the term rifleman was the elite de elite, the creme de la creme. Think about that. So again, heads up. But anyway, a little work here from over the water, but still applies to the kind of work we're doing. Arma Sniper. We'll be right back here in a moment after some ear candy. From them the harder they grasp, it seems like I'm referring that. Rifle marksmanship process, guys. 22, like this morning, Luca Zaina of course has a new rifle program in play, w.zaina.com. He's got an M4 that they're offering, it's using a plumb crazy lower receiver. He's done some excellent videos, actually I've shared them everywhere, so a lot of you guys have already received them. But he's been generating it himself and the information about the rifle is fantastic. It's just a basic AR, an M4, not an A1 or A2. I'd prefer an A1 or A2, but I've been looking at the prices. They're now gacking you for getting a 20 inch barrel. You're now, the gap was only $20 before and that's all it should be. Go try and price a 20 inch rifle kit now. The M4, they're shoveling everybody towards the 16 inch barrel, which is not, it shouldn't be that way. Not in the commercial market, but they're trying to gun everybody down is what they're trying to do. See, if we can maintain the longer heavier barrel, you can always load up. Everybody goes, well, you won't get that much better performance out of it. Oh yeah, I will. Don't tell me that. Otherwise, be using 16 inch CAR-15s for rifle competition in .223, right? But what do you see? 20, 22, 23, 24 inch. You want to get some energy out of that barrel, out of that gun, that cartridge. Forgive me, not the gun, the cartridge. Then you've got to start loading up on one end and you've got to beef up on the other. But the barrel, I mean four inches more, you know, we're talking $100 for more for a kit right now. $80 to $100 and most of them they don't have in stock. But when they do get them, here's a little hint. They sell out immediately. Nobody wants a, I do. Uh, if I had a stack of rifles sitting there, you guys can grab whatever you want, but I'm going to tell my people to stand up with me, every one of those 20-inch guns are ours. And an M16? Yeah. Careful with model. You've got M4s, fantastic. I'm grabbing them even though the A3... See, I... Forgive me, the A2? I know the A2's biggest limitation. Three rounds, dinking burst. Under the law, and, you know, and Europeans at least, I mean, they don't trust their troops very far, but they have semi... Look at the HK's. And I hate HK. The HK we hate you that's them. Hey talking to us, right guys. They've got a Selector that says what let's see save one tiki three tikis Wanna tikis. Oh, you mean they have full select fire on their weapons Well, yeah, and they still have three round burst option to yeah now the government this twiddly government comes up with an idea What do they do with the m16a to oh, we're just gonna give them select fire three round burst Oh, so you're going to do just the reverse of everything else designed with an auto option. Now the reason I would bring it up is because, yes, I know he, I, trust me, I can take a semi-auto gun and you'll probably figure that if there's enough adrenaline rush, it's full auto weapon when it's not, okay? Because you can really, really, really, really remove fast if you're smart. If you're energized, okay? But, and again, there's not always a need for select fire, but there is a point where I might say everybody on target dump a 30 round mag in full auto would be nice. Yup. Everybody dumps 30 rounds times 10 men. Okay, that target is gonna, that area target is gonna be peppered. And if it's a, if we're taking and compensating for, let's say a situation where we don't have a squad gun, we don't have a belt gun. That team leader or two individuals in the team would tracer only magazines. So where every once in a while they stuff that, that mag in, pull the trigger and brr-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r- Everybody's attention to that target and everybody dump a mag on it. You don't have to say anything, you don't have to scream at anybody. Everybody who sees that trace knows what that means. It's typically where that applies is intermediate against an area of threat target. Let's say you're engaging a platoon strength formation in front of you and you see the second platoon in motion that's part of that company. Well guys, you can turn around and put the kibosh, you know, put the brakes on them right now because they'll have to go to ground. by turning fires on them. Now, if one man does that, they're gonna go, I've got one guy to worry about, I might take my chances and keep moving. But when all of a sudden the entire team turns and for one, you know, for the count of five, everybody's laying rounds on that area. They have to go to ground. They have no choice. They have to take cover. They're going to have to get out of the line of fire. They're looking for cover and concealment. They don't want to be hit and they don't want to be seen. If you do that, you're slowing down the reserve and reinforcement that's coming to deal with what's in front of you. You see how that works? Now you've forced them to go to fire maneuver or cautious motion. They're not just barreling into the action on foot. That is a double plus situation if you're trying to do what? I'm the team leader and I'm gonna pop a flare because it's time to extract ourselves. We're gonna break contact. I don't need two platoons in front of me when I break contact. That works. My first team is laying down fires. The second squad and the other, or our second team, is falling back to take position. The squad gunner immediately is going to dump a long wide fan burst out and then break contact and run to his support position to cover us. The weapons section will fall back immediately so that they can take up a heavy commanding position which was already designated during the motion inwards in a planned action. You have withdrawal control points that you already designated because you count on your men to be able to think. Use their brains, you see. We are not like the most of the system nowadays. World War II, if you talked to infantrymen, it was like you were part of a dance studio, guys. There wasn't one single formation, nor a single motion or activity. There were a number of different formations, all known by everybody in the team, based upon the terrain conditions, the battlefield environment, and the mission. If they were, you know, again, what phase were they in? Offense or defense? And you know, every man in that squad, every man in that platoon, and every man in that company all knew the dance lessons? Now here it is like 50 years later we all brag, oh we're so much smarter than those guys from all those years ago. Really? So why is it you can't handle any complicated or issues? Not even complicated. Basic information. Go to keep it simple or the- No, no, in fact this was expected. It's like everything else, the dumbing down process. So, here again, the use of automatic fire would be kind of useful. But our government, in their wisdom, said that that three round burst is the only way you can go. I take it because I'm not necessarily, I'm not gonna be plowing with those guns. What I'd be doing is taking those weapons and applying my better optics and bringing those weapons up to snuff real quick and we would be the fire brigade. That's what it would eventually become. Inevitably, we'd be the fire brigade. That's how it would work. Any rifleman unit will become the fire brigade that gets all the other people out of trouble that love that spray and pray stuff. happen. I'm telling you right now, because the ones are going to be around and ready when the time comes and can reach farther out will have fewer, fewer generated casualties from direct contact because they're making casualties from the get go. They're putting the enemy to ground. Put the enemy to ground. You waste his calories, you waste his energy, you waste his reserve ammunition. He will immediately be at a disadvantage. Even just a handful of riflemen properly square away, a five man fire team whose job is to observe and monitor for a reserve unit like we just described. You see them, make contact. Suppression fire, sustain fire. What that does is force them because, remember in fire maneuver, you return fire. Can you see us? No. Well, you got a kind of an idea, so they send suppression fire back downrange. Well, every man is only carrying so many rounds of ammo. For the cost of a minimal amount of offensive ammunition in one point of a contact, you can force your enemy to expend anywhere from one quarter to a third of his combat load. That's kinda nice when you can drag him out and drag him out and drag him out and drag him out and then close the alligator trap. Poor buggers. I don't want to have as much ammunition as strip off the dead, but it's just the way it works. You know, the idea, there are many ways to dance the swords and pull the enemy into the position you choose. He's trying not to, and you're trying to give him high confidence, your big dummies don't have a clue. Really stupid, not good at concealment, you were trying to expose, oh yeah, and hi, how you doing? We're gonna eat ya. Pull up, meat grinder, and we're outta here. You just keep thinking what you wanna think, we'll just keep thinking what we learned. Working right now, guys. Again, practice, practice. is put a rifle marksmanship. Again, airsoft, airsoft, airsoft, along with the 22 ARs and then graduating to the standard AR 15 that you're using. Guys, you're going to see it. The way to do it is an experiment. Take your people that you already have and separate them from the newcomers and put them into a rifle regimen. Start with the airsoft. Then go to the 22s if you want or graduate from the airsoft to the standard rifles. You're going to save ammunition. You're going to see better performance. This is what log books are for. Where you can actually go, wow, these guys are printing better, harder, faster. There's no surprises for them. Whenever they're handling the training aid, the training aid is identical to the standard arm, so there's nothing that they're going to be, it's going to be a mystery for them. In fact, they're going to be quite comfortable going to the range with that standard M4-223, putting it to their shoulder and following instructions. You've built up another key component here, confidence. And that is so important because people are, I'm not sure I can do that. Really, that mindset is in everybody from the school system and from the I Need To Ask Permission slave mindset generated by the public fool system and the regime. Seriously, it is one of the things that you need to, once you realize, I can do this, that's a term you'll hear people actually express, I can do this! Yes, yes you can. Congratulations, now keep it up. Okay? Don't get cocky, TIE Fighters. stick around if you got to take off. I got to go Mark. We're almost we're not quite to the top yet guys. One of the things here that we're going to be doing with the night vision is live fire with the 50s. Guys we're going to be doing with thermal on target and we're going to be demonstrating a few rounds that people have always had questions about or even like curious about because they haven't necessarily seen personally. Nobody's made an effort to really do what we're going to be doing in this next video. And it's going to be fun because it's interesting. We're going to actually see how it records, how it actually prints. But incendiary on the steel target is one, and the other is spotter. The spotter, actually it's the 106 Recoilless rifle bumblebee round, the bee round, yellow jacket. It was a white phosphorus marker round. When the 106 Recoilless rifle operator was tracking the target, he would fire the 51st, which is built, it's locked right to the side of the 106. When he fired it and he saw that flash, the idea is instantly he's to pull the second trigger and that's when the big boy goes down range. The logic that he's not wasting that big 106 recoilless rifle round and since he's going to launch it, if you haven't seen what a recoilless rifle does front and rear, when you pull the trigger someone has an idea of where you are. Oh yeah. So it would be a real good idea to try and kill whoever this might be looking in your direction that would be thinking about shooting back. And the 106 could do just that. We're talking one of the, you know, the wombat was bigger and the Russians made a few recoil-lesses that were a little larger, but in our family the 106 was pretty well as big as we went in consistent pattern and for large production. Jeep-mounted APC mounted, carried as an infantry anti-tank weapon, heavy, heavy infantry anti-tank weapon. A lot of guys in Vietnam used the 106s. SF forces used 106s, 90s, and 75s as the last defense weapons at SF fire bases. The 106 being the one that everybody wished they could steal from somebody else, which is usually how they got them. When they did, they would, of course, fix them as command fire weapons that could sweep an area because If something showed up and it was a tank, then that gun could handle it. Of course, the 90s could do damage and so could the 75s. But that 106 definitely had some tooth. It was like, you know, it was a tank gun in reverse order. Although, again, a little different configuration with how it went boom. The concept here, again, with the different rounds is that, again, how would they look? Because you're going to be using night vision. You're going to be using thermal. You're going to have different equipment. Hopefully it will, well, America, waste the shot. What we're planning on doing, my plan is, that we're going to have a first generation second and third if we can all on battery along with the thermal when we fire so we're going to be able to split screen it and say how does this look in and then boom wow that was impressive you know that's kind of cool I want to do one of those I want to see that myself well hopefully it'll motivate you to get a 50 caliber rifle and do that that's the other part of the plan we're hoping to get you going like oh man I got to get into that group and you'll want to course you're also thinking that start collecting ammunition, other technology, support technology, cleaning and maintenance, spare parts. Yeah, you got to start all over again just like you did with your AR-15. That's a good thing. We need that. We need deep tactical support. Other than that, for the moment, have you done anything else before we take off for the hour? Well, you've tried to point something out a number of times, and I would say that remember the first 24 with that what's his name and and the atomic plant that's gonna blow up all they have to do is walk in there and turn some valves remember that there was a woman in there who was a mother of one of the villains and uh you know uh last night she was on some tv show mark she's the israeli representative of the iMI to the CSI there is Israeli military industry to the IS that's what it was and investigators, one person, two totally opposite characters, she fit the look in both, Mark. You've tried to re-en- you've tried to point that out over the- Could you tell the difference? No. No. She looks like a Palestinian or she looked like an Israeli. She looks like- she's Jewish. Look at that schnoz, I'm telling you, it's saying the air is free. Actually, the idea there, propaganda 101, as they say. Last but not least, real quick on the rations issue. I've been doing a quick sweep also on the medical bags, got that in motion now guys. So I'm thinking about doing it tonight, it might do with the eight o'clock hour, we'll give a confirm and a thumbs up. There are a couple of companies that are offering for under or about $30, pieces of MREs right now. The emergency ration type with a clear bag, not the brown bag. Likewise, the components are all, they're definitely affordable, you could buy a couple of cases, distribute those amongst your combat gear or put them in your vehicles and leave them, just leave them together, leave them where they are. They're perishable anyway. You're going to rip it apart, use it, and then get rid of the trash. So just a heads up, start shopping several of these places and look around. They're apparently, you know, the company is making a major push to try and get these things out there. Part of it I think is they're dating because, you know, this happens all
