He took off his three cornered hat, speaking low to me. We fought a revolution for liberty. We wrote the Constitution's shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the life of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, 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 and your Christian values can't be taught According to the state you 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 shit. You trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize family farms and keep our country. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died? Or 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? Or do you wish your children? to live in fear and be a slave. O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right we only watching tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave build the land of the free ladies and gentlemen, this is the first hour of the intelligence report I'm our car key One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories south west Northeast and Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on Www Liberty Tree radio dot for mg.com Liberty Tree radio dot org and run satellite though our friends are in many unique places war zones and other locations virtually everybody water on the planet it passes underneath them as they travel so as I speak in two hours they're gonna be maybe in a completely different part of the world and again we're also a myriad of other communications technologies both inside and outside these United States and it is Well, it's Wednesday. It's been the winds out of the north, gray sky, temperatures chilly but not terrible. A classic, again, early spring kind of day outside. Some of the plants are blooming and some are popping out of the ground. In fact, gardens are looking great right now, especially the greenhouse from our heritage seeds. working on some of the ancient ones this year because we've got to make sure that they reproduce. So they're a priority not for eating but for seeds. That is what we are doing. This is the seed year, especially with what's coming. We need to make sure that we disperse what we produce. Hopefully we'll get it, you know, onto the line, but you never know. So, but we're going to continue as if. We've got the opportunity. And we'll still fight to do it one way or another to make sure we'll stay focused on life. Not just having to take life, but also keep ours going. And again, that means that it is the 24th of April. It is the 16th year of open, obvious, and in your face, Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K. 2024, old earth calendar, 2024, battle for the republic, the dance of swords. Let the dance continue. And battle blades, battle axes, spikes, small arms fire, indirect fire from light infantry and medium infantry support weapons technology, etc. You name it, we've got it. We're gonna use it. And being weapons Wednesday, a couple things here real quick. There is, I mentioned this the other day, it is the Alpha Max, the ATI Alpha Max AR-15. Now, I've been pointing this out for years. I used to sit next to a guy and talk to him quite a bit when we were at the expos. who came out with the Polymer AR-15 uppers and lowers. Now, needless to say, he was actually doing government contract work, and he originally came out with these for use for the spook and kook operations. Now, one of the most interesting things about the rifle, of course, the bullshit BS about, well, it's a Polymer gun, you can hide it from the gun sweeps at the airports, or that's BS, and the same is true with Glock. But when you've got stupid people who have no understanding of nomenclature, design, or concept, you can baffle them or pretty much any bullshit you want to put out there in the controlled propaganda idiot stick media. But what's interesting is this rifle was a polymer upper and a polymer lower. Now the other thing that was done with this weapon, and this is what I'd like to see again, is the original M16A1 type pencil barrels. We need to shave weight. I don't need the gun heavier. Does everybody understand why we made the barrels heavier? Neil, to say we wanted better performance, greater range, better performance. Part of the argument for heavy barrels, you know what it was? Take a guess, anybody out there, take a stab. Why do you think we needed really badly to have heavier and more goofily designed or stepped cut barrels? And it's not goofy, but it's goofy when you think about the excuse. Okay, if they came up with something that would have to do with that, this is a big hint, rifle marksmanship. Why do you think the government argued that we needed to drop the lightweight pencil barrel and go to the M16, for instance, A2 barrel or the M1 barrel? Well, you would think, and to a degree they did get that, okay? Although the M16A1 and A2 are very different weapons in terms of, if you look at base expects. Do you know why they made those barrels heavier guys? And even then they didn't make them smart. It's because didn't you know, Tom, guys, listeners, didn't you know that you use your rifles for crowbars? Did you know that? Have you ever used your rifle for a crowbar? I mean, I don't know. I think for as long as I've been alive, I've respected the idea that if the barrel is bent, I probably am not really going to be able to, you know, hit what I'm aiming at, right? But the number one reason, and this is not exaggeration, this is part of the original evaluation that, well, because soldiers could be using the rifles could be, using the rifles for like pry bars. Well, we need a heavier barrel on the M16A2 and later on the same argument for the M4. No, it's because of accuracy, Tom, you make sense, but that's not what they were arguing. It is Twilight Zone. The first time I read the evaluation years ago, decades ago now, and it was like, well, this is some of the design reasons for the demand for the competition. These are the design features that must be part of the program. Now, here's what's really cute. If you look at an M, you know, the, well, the M16A2, at least was a little stiffer all the way down. but they still stepped the barrel and then when they got to the gas system to cheat, they kind of went light in the loafers. They did the same thing with the M4. So where the barrel is most likely to bend, they didn't offer any real solution to the crowbar problem. Hmm, crowbar, yeah. I'm gonna take my precision rifle. I might even have optics on the roof. You know, some really nice scope on the roof. A night vision on the roof. And I'm gonna see if I can torque it so that it can almost shoot around corners. I mean, theoretically, it kinda would, okay? Kinda woulda not. But as it is with the situation again, I would love to see and I don't know for sure about this rifle But it in my ATA T. I alpha max we got good. We got top of it But mark I've seen that movies where they use them for shovels. They use them to you know for trying things and I've also seen them using on how to Hit people over the head with and stuff Well, that's not a problem. I mean, you're supposed to take wouldn't that be good for heavy barrel? Well, all of those are good for a heavy barrel. I mean, but we already can't beat somebody with the gun rifle, butt stroking is acceptable. And although with the AR, remember you not, I will hear something about that. Does everybody remember how we were trained with a standard stock AR 15 to hit the ground with the rifle while we're removing? You're supposed to slide your hand off the pistol grip Bring it up along the weapon taking cup the base top base of the stock with your thumb and Index finger on the top and your other three fingers to the side back and that way when you hit the ground you would reinforce the stock so that you wouldn't break the buffer tube does anybody remember this training I do Okay, now we still really were supposed to do that with the M14, but you could get away with a lot more with either the Polymer and I had the Polymer stock in my M14, I had the Tropical stock in the one that was issued to me, but I also had, as I pointed out many times, when we went through the whole inventory of M14s that we were carrying, we found two M15 stocks. And then we cherry picked, we found an M15, a couple of M15s out of what, 300 rifles, maybe 400? And we progressively went through and found a heavy barrel M14, put the M15 stock back on it, et cetera, et cetera, and made ourselves a couple of M14 squad, well, M15 squad guns. kept them in that position. We also had two BARs, we had at that time with the SF unit, we also had two RPDs, which were not commonly known to be in our possession. But everybody knew we captured them, I'm sure that the US government had them because the SF units had inventories of handout guerrilla warfare weapons like this. Now, the thing is with the AR, she was kind of flimsy all the way around, but I don't have a problem with that. We need a seven pound rifle right now, you can't find that. In fact, the biggest problem we've got is we've gone totally away from the original purpose that we were all argued and told why we had to have the M16. And it was because of the weight, the minimal recoil, which is a good thing, and also the general lack of abuse to the operator in the process of operating the weapon. Okay, minimal recoil means minimal felt recoil to the shoulder which creates fatigue with a lot of shooting. There's all kinds of tricks to get around that and everybody learned them very quickly. But with the AR-15, eliminated all that, which I appreciate, I understand. I mean, come on, we went for how many decades with the M16A1 and eventually the M16A2. And then we apparently we couldn't handle carrying the full AR-15 light rifle anymore. So we had to go to the M4 because we had to weenie boy, okay? So here's the thing. This ATI Alpha Max with an upper and lower in polymer, I have not been able to find it. I'd ask anybody to look up. Let's see, there's a video out there, cheapest AR-15 at $299. What to expect from ATI Alpha Max? And this is on the channel Beyond Seclusion. And the guy is not promoting the rifle. They didn't send him one. He does a box opening. It's very dull. Okay, the thing doesn't have styrofoam even. It's just like I said before it's cello wrapped, which is kind of interesting. So it's minimized on everything. However, it is a polymer upper and lower with metal reinforcing where it makes sense. Now this technique is already, what year is it? This is 24, 30 years old. 32 years old actually. No, Polymer receivers up remote are not new. And the gentleman I was telling you about that used to go to the expos, he started selling his rifle as a semi-automatic AR-15 to the American public in late 93, early 94. He'd already developed it for the CIA slash or special warfare units, apparently about 1990, 91. He worked all the bugs out and already had a contract going. Now, here's the difference between the rifles you get and the rifle that he was offering back then. One of the most interesting ideas that he came up with was basically the air compressor lock, quick lock system for the air systems. You push pull and it snaps right off. You had the same bulge on the end of the barrel that you have on all of your adapters for your soft lines. And guess what, it was built into the weapon so you could pop off a standard flash hider that he made. That was the only thing that was unique about this weapon, other than the polymer receivers, is the fact that he actually had a quick release flash hider. So you could pop the flash hider off, and nobody could say, like if you're in a state with the commies where they were pointing at your flash hider and saying that that's illegal, guess what, click, it's gone. Don't have to say, can't say anything, it's not on the weapon, and it had a regular crown on the end of the barrel. But when you wanted to reattach the flash hider, click. But you could also take the flash hider off. And the reason it was built this way is so that a quick speed on suppressor could be added to the gun immediately. Click, click, just that fast. Click off, click, snap, on, done. No twisting, twisting, twisting, twisting, twisting, twisting, twisting, twisting, twisting, twisting, twisting, none of that cuz no fine threads or anything, okay? So guess what, first year he offered the weapon, he put I think 1,500 of the guns out, sold them all immediately, started to put out the next production run, and the feds said, you can't sell it with that flash hider system. So what he did is he took the, to settle that, he kept the quick-release flash hider on the gun, and he tack welded it in two spots, so that it was secured to the gun. Now if you chose to take it off, and again, why would that be illegal? There's nothing about the design that in fact the wet barrel was normal length without the flash hider It was I think still 16 and a half inch 16 and a quarter or whatever it was to make spec And then of course it had the click add-on flash hider, but they decided that you couldn't have that So if you think all this arbitrary crap like you're seeing the always new no It's not the bat faggots and the and the turds in the regime have done this for decades and that was back between George Herbert Walker Bush and Bill. So the interesting thing about this gun, the combat weight, five pounds. Take the flash hider off and it dropped below five pounds. Now you do realize that that's one of those rifles you can hold single-handed and go pop pop pop pop pop pop So we kind of joke the first time I saw it It's like wait a minute So you're telling me that after you get all the doodads on the m16a1 or a or a2 not a1 and I throw the flashlight, you know flashlight and everything else on I could pick up two of these for the weight of that gun And he goes well, yeah, I said, you know, you got two guns when he's and you blow the wit You know blow on the end of the muzzle or you know go haha because you pop pop pop pop pop. Now remember these are semi-auto but he was selling full auto class 3 type weapons. He was selling contract guns to the government. Oh, what happened? Okay, so anyway, it was a really cool idea. It's around again and it's the ATI Alpha Max. Now here's what I need some help with. Go look up this rifle. I'd like to know what the combat weight is because here's the other thing I've noticed. They didn't put a metallic from front hand guard on it. It looks like it's all, this is all polymer where they can put polymer on the gun. It still has a steel barrel. It still has all the other basic fittings that a regular air 15 of whatever type would have. Except wherever they could do plastic, they did kind of like the plum crazy lowers and who knows maybe they have plum crazy made the lower for the gun. I don't know. But it does have some unique features and is lightweight. Now, with the other polymer items that were used, it brings the weight down even more, making it possible, just like carrying a featherweight or lightweight 12 gauge for air defense, carrying a lightweight weapon to support, say, one of your squad weapons or one of the other weapons to have another handout rifle would be kind of cool. On the other hand, for a lot of you that are listening, you're not going to be infantry, battlefield infantry, but you are going to be chaplains, we've got medics, we've got truck drivers. And while it's nice to have a better weapon, I mean a more sophisticated arm if you could afford it, number one, this weapon is at about $300. Number two, it is an ultra lightweight AR-15. But I wouldn't point out, any time you want to switch out parts on this thing, you could. What I like about it is the lightweight upper. Mark. Okay, just as a heads up. Go ahead, call her. Jump in there, please. 5.5 pounds. Yeah, okay. Well, he didn't quite shave off that last pound, but that's pretty good. Wouldn't you say? For all you people, say, I'm too old to carry fill in the blank. Can you handle 5.5 pounds? Oh, wait a minute. Now, here's the question. Is that with magazine or without magazine? I know they may not have listed it. You would ask, let me look. The reason I bring it up though is because they may have weighed the whole package. In other words, with a magazine and the weapon. That still would be unloaded because you're just looking at service, you know, basic service weight without ammunition. But 5.5 is respectable. That is cool. Seriously. Now, I don't know, the only way that I think, what I'd be willing to bet, because I was looking at the barrel on this gun, it is straight cut, okay? And that tells me that it's not again the pencil weight lightened barrel like they did on the M16 or the Kar-15 team leader's rifle. There's the Kar-15 SMG which is still in 5.56. If you look at all your old manuals, if you had the Kar-15 shorty with the Sionix reducer on the end, it wasn't a suppressor, that was a reducer. It was not a silencer, it was a reducer. It did not have any of the clean out issues. It was purely a forward thrust and it had venturis inside it. That what they did is they canceled out part of the hypersonic crack from the round as it was left the muzzle. And it's a fascinating design which they didn't want anybody to see because anybody could make it, okay? If you had machining capability and you had one of those psionic reducers, You could produce it any place in the US and now with CNC we could be cranking them out all day. But that would be a heavier flash hider. And again, but still all of them were built with the pencil dimension barrel. They simply made a share, a different cut, but still the basic flier and roll of the barrel was the same as, although shortened because it's a 11.5 inch barrel. The 16 inch cars that were out there are actually an afterthought and really didn't see a whole lot of time. You'll see them in images in the later part of the war, but you don't see them for the most part anybody's hands because they almost came and went as quickly as they showed up they were gone. Okay, because the next thing in line was the M16 A2 for the general infantry and then the specialized weapons that were being purchased by the spook, kook and special warfare units. And yes, they had a variety of barrel lengths, bought a bunch of custom stuff and rolled it out there. So 5.5 pounds, that's an AR-15 the way we need it because if you're an older person, if you're a medic, if you are in fact you might decide to carry a 9 millimeter carbine instead. See, that's the other thing about this. There are so many light car beans that are comparably priced. And the one thing about doc is any of the medics or support personnel are going to need more firepower and need to carry less in the weight of ammunition. Because they're burdened with more medical support or specific support items depending upon their job, their MOS, their militia occupational skill, okay? So this is an interesting solution. I was also curious if they just sell the upper. You can get polymer lowers all over the place. Like I said, plumb crazy, Gen 2, about $100 a piece. The polymer upper though, with everything where it's supposed to be and all the wrinkles worked out, that's the toughy. That's the one that I, again, we bought out, somebody did, bought out one of the polymer resource companies here. Not too long ago and they haven't replaced what they would pick what they'd originally picked up And we made a deal over the phone So I didn't go see a show and then the people stepped in and picked this stuff up and everybody was happy But that was purely just the uppers that was a stripped upper that was not with all with the only thing it did have was afford assist button on it and Half of them did not take a dust cover. They were not designed to take a dust cover and half of them did. So you can find those polymer uppers both ways. The dust cover is not critical, but again, this kit gets back to if that's something like that is excluded, cleaning is required. You're going to have to check on that weapon every when you get a chance. Once you do have any opportunities, every chance you can, you need to rag it, you need to inspect and clear it and then put it back together real quick. So all you got to do is pop that rear pin, pop it open and shake everything out. So solutions not just complaining about the problems, but this is an interesting rifle and again Let me write. Let me read this out again for you. I'm gonna do it two more times cheapest AR 15 at symbol 299 dollar sign 299 what to expect from a ti alpha max ma xx again cheapest ar 15 at symbol dollar sign 299 dash what to expect from ATI alpha max question mark and it's built beyond the seclusion is the name of the channel on YouTube. So for everybody again, take the time, check that out. We're at the bottom of the hour. It's probably waiting with the button because what do we do on Wednesday at the bottom of the hour? This is my rifle. There are men like it, but this one is mine. is my best it is my life shoot him before he shoots me before God's You may ride a good late speed, you may know it's turn to master Your forward march will speed, but you'll learn to back as much faster When you meet our mountain boys and their leader, John Scott Glad you make what little noise and always hit the mark Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no strife We raise the tongue back across the dried water And giddy must come like well up to the slaughter But if we the job must do, then the sooner it is begun If Vincent's figure holds a buck through, the quicker it will be done Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no to rifle Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no to rifle Again, it is Weapons Wednesday. Your mind is your first best weapon, but if you don't protect it physically, someone's going to turn your head into a canoe and vacate that gray matter that's in the proper place right now. Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance, so be prepared to fight, go to war in 24. We gotcha. I do not see, I'm looking on my phone, but I do not see any uppers available on their own. Obviously if it's newer, they're gonna wanna sell the whole piece so they get their full value. I'm finding it at $4.99. I'm not finding it at $2.99, but then again, like I said, I'm on the phone and the phone doesn't look the same. You go to the internet as it does on the computer. There was one other thing, Weapons Wednesday. Rivertownmunitions.com. Rivertownmunitions.com. They have 45 ACP for $415 for a thousand rounds. Unless you live in Pennsylvania, that's all you will pay. If you live in Pennsylvania, you'll pay sales tax. Everywhere else, free shipping, no sales tax. That is again, Rivertownmunitions.com. They have magtech and they have Selyr below and the rounds look each one of those cartridges look to be about the identical thing. They're about the same thing very minimal difference in velocity and foot pounds at the muzzle over Excellent and again if you have a 1911 keep it running people if you need parts go to Sarco, e-sarco or sarco.com. I think both will get you there now the way things are set up with the Sarco changes page. That's why, again, when you try the old address, you probably, they were smart enough still pick it up so it routes you to the new address automatically. It locks it in. They have every combination of 1911 spare parts, Tombow that you could ask for. Whatever fits your budget and your needs. and they also have obviously a ton of individual parts. Sarco used to make their own frames. They used to actually infusing cast and build 1911 steel and 1911 aluminum alloy frames. I don't know that they're doing that anymore. But they might be. CNC dictates that unlike before where you had to have all the jigs and you know individual step machining that was done, they sold the infusion molds years ago and I remember that. We got one set, we didn't get the other. And there was another company here in Michigan doing the same thing. We bought the molds from them and those are in our inventory. So, those are ready to go. And again, aluminum. Aluminum? Yes, yeah, they made airweight 1911s, guys. A lot of them. I don't know, here's what's fascinating. None of these guns ever surface after they're built. They're just away. They're part of this vast inventory. The cops don't get them. They aren't turned back into anybody. They go from generation to generation of serious, you know, gun owners, militia slash shooters. And I watched, for instance, with the company that was here, roll over the table thousands of frames, thousands, thousands and thousands. In fact, they were doing 80% frames when nobody knew what an 80% frame was. Michigan was one of the first states to do that. And at the time, they made browning high power frames. 80% and they made M1911. This is back in the 17th, back in 1978, 1979. And again, the company sold their old infusion molds. We picked those up for $2,000. That money was worth a little bit more back then. But between a couple of allies, we procured those. And then also got some of the other pattern jigs of, you know, the machinery for traditional machinery because they switched over to first generation CNC and I'm sure they're up to spec right now if they're, you know, still doing the same kind of production. But they did finish 100%, 1911 frames complete. And they were about back in the day, $75 a frame in 1981 dollars. $75 a frame and AR-15 Complete but stripped were again $75 to $77 and the uppers were about $65 back in the day. Now you actually make it out pretty good cost you less granted money's worthless but look at the look at how much lesser at least how stable your AR 15 prices have been for a little while longer anyway. So pick up what you can in ammunition. Well, how much did you have all you can get? you are not gonna lose a penny with all the economic crises that they're creating and their intention is gonna collapse the economy. In fact, there's conversations on that today in virtually in every corner of the information system on the chicanery that's taking place with the spit swappers and ring knockers in Jew York. So everybody pay attention there. On top of that, and again, if you're looking for mags, Because we actually are all interested mags for 1911s. You're gonna have to shop around. Now I would say this, and don't forget, look to see what they have over at whatacountry.com. Whatacountry has got connections with Israel. Israel in turn got tons and tons and tons and tons of our stuff and steals more every day. Of course, we probably even pay them to take it. Yeah, it's probably how it is to be literally in other words, you're stealing our money But they never give it back to us. They always sell it So they're they're selling the stuff you gave them you need to give them more so they can sell more Under the table and over the table and around the table on balance. Yeah, go ahead jump in there Mark, I have a very, very, very good source for magazines and some other items. It's called GunMag Warehouse.com. Yes, that's very good. Yeah. It's a good place. We've been there. I've bought a lot of stuff there. Yeah, they have very good prices, they put specials on, I get an email or two from them every couple of days. They have, from what I've ordered from them, good, efficient, quick shipping, the mags that I've ordered have been excellent, a bunch of 45 mags. Over. Excellent. I've pointed this out to our friends listening, certain right here right now. If you're carrying a 1911, grab yourself at least one 11 shot magazine for each of your 45s. Whenever I've carried a 1911, and I've figured that we're going to be going into contact, standoffs, things like that. I dropped the 11 rounder in first and then everything else is seven or eight sevens because I don't use any I've never used any eight shot but there's tons of eight shot 1911s out there now and they are proprietary they won't take the seven but they will take the eight so with that being the case pile up the mags that you have for your gun now the cool thing is for all you guys who have eight round mags you can feed all the guys that have standard seven round mags the bad thing, you can't go the other way. However, if you have those 11 round mags, and let's say that Fred and Bob were short a few mags as they were going crazy town and burning mags and dropping them and running and burning mags and dropping them, you could take everybody's 11 round mag, give them to the guy that uses the eight because all of those will fit his gun. They're also drums and that's an option in your part. I have said this before and I will say this again and you probably can get them at GunMag Warehouse.com. And for instance, people go, why would you want to drum with a pistol? Well, Bob and Frank are the rear guard. Why? Well, most of you burned out your combat load. We're falling back through buildings and we're going to fall back to a relocation point for supply and to regroup along with our casualties. So we've got a rear guard group. Now granted, I'd rather have ARs, but you know a 45 pistol or a 9 millimeter with a 50 round drum. that allows you to go boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom The reason that you're using fallback or brake contact weapons is because you've consumed your fighting load and you may not have succeeded or you've accomplished the task, but now you're trying to get back to safe space. So drums are awfully convenient. Now where else do we use drums? I've pointed this out before that my attitude, the way I train people is in traveling, we travel with drums mounted in all weapons. When you're traveling, the idea is that while you may feel secure and you're moving at a greater pace, if for whatever reason somebody has set up a hasty ambush in front of you, remember the basic rule is to put suppression fire on target. You use the drums first because they're already mounted. You spray, you hose down, not spray and pray. You spray on target, you hose down. You put the weapon to the shoulder. You look like over the site. You don't need to be as anal retentive about accuracy. Aim low and in front of the target and pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, Not right away anyway, but as soon as you hit that 50 or 75 round drum empty signal What do you do with it? Drop it? Hit the switch drop the drum if it's an AR Grab your next mag, 30 round or whatever, slap, use the mag, slap the release, push forward on the release, let the drum drop through gravity sucking, and then turn, pivot your hand, bring the magazine up, lock it into place, slap the action, and boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, with your AK. Take your pick, whichever it is you're using. And there's many other weapons. But if you're an operator and you're using a pistol, as quickly as you can go to the drum. If you are the drum, the problem is it's bulky with a handgun. But it's very useful, especially in suppression or again, diversionary fire. The idea is you carry a lot more 45 rounds or a lot more 9 millimeter rounds than you can main battle rifle or light rifle cartridges. about three for one or two and a half for one for the AR-15, you know, 556 chambering, and about three for the price of the the 762 by 51 NATO. Look at the weight, just compare. So the idea here is that if you want suppression fire, we have to be thinking about economics. I can't afford to lose as much of my heavy munition, as many of my heavy rounds in a situation where we're not making them count. So there is a usefulness to the combined arms team. Germany, World War II, main battle rifle, main squad automatic weapon being the MG34 or the MG42. When the MP44 came into play, what did they use it for? Its first application, while it certainly was used with any assault, etc., was for rear guard action. In fact, they perfected an entire regimen of SOPs. utilizing two light rifle calibers, weapons, the two MP43 MP44s. And two men could effectively suppress and allow for the unit to break contact, and they could put sufficient firepower down range. In fact, in their SOP, it was recommended to go to select fire. Now, one thing most people don't know about the MP43-44, It was recommended that if you use SelectFire that you should use the entire magazine. Anybody ever read that? Oh, I have. I've seen the Deutsch manuals and also the English interpretation, the English translation. And the idea was that it put less stress on the Sears because of the stamping, even though they were god awful heavy stampings. If you've ever seen the inside of an MP44, the idea was that the selector process would not take a significant wear or perhaps fail. So- So empty and drop the mag, stick another mag in, wait because, you know, Heinz over there is using his mag up and you pop up and... And since it was... Now here's the other thing about the MP44, the buffer system that you all know in the AR15 Guys, it doesn't need to be that sophisticated, but the recoil mechanism and the buffer mechanism, or really didn't have a buffer in it, they just had the long tube recovery into the buttstock. No metal channel, no plastic channel. It was simply a bore cut hole in the beater boardstock. And you know what's funny? Not only did it hold up, but I've never heard or seen one that has been fractured or broken with years of service. You think about that, everybody goes, well you've got to have this and you've got to, really? I think the AR-15 with a buffer, with a buffer in the buffer, you know, in the chamber, in that same wood channel, if you were to make that, I don't think it would wear out that quickly. And why do we know this? Historically, looking at that other family of weapons which was much more abusive to its parts. This is one of the things, and much more aggressive round, the 8 millimeter Kurz. So heads up. Anyway, ideas, not just complaining about the problem, just really cool stuff out there and for the pistols, rifles, and even your shotguns that are magazine-fed, there are drums. So let's make sure each one has one. It's great for anti-door entry too. Hosing down a target with anywhere from 15 to 20 12 gauge, number four, notice I didn't say double-hot, number four buck and use BB. That's like a claymore mine. Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum Oh, you thought the guy up front that was just going boom, boom, boom, just was firing in futility. No, he was keeping them busy while still being behind barriers and bags and other organic materials that are designed to stop whatever might be coming his way. We are planning a defense. We do plan on fighting to win, right? So we are going to be scurrilous and devious in every way that we possibly can so that we can virtually chop the legs and crotches off every one of the enemy that approaches. We don't want to destroy the upper half because it's got all the goodies we want to strip off the enemy's bodies. Always remember that. Take them right off with the legs and the upper legs and the groin area. They bleed bad, they get hurt horribly, and they wish they didn't show up for the fight. Just that simple, pup, pup. So anyway, we'll see next. Okay, Canik. By the way, before I forget, I believe, I believe that there is a sale going on over at Atlantic with for Canik firearms. Some prices not listed, you gotta put it in your cart to find out what it costs. But in addition to that, Atlantic, as is pointed out by one of our callers the other day, has a deal, Atlantic Firearms has a deal 100 supposed, well their IDF is really Defense Forces, AR-15 metal mags, about 695, it's 100 for $695 in a box. Now these are used, but as far as them being IDF, I'd be willing to bet they're all American, let's see, action arms, okay, and even some Colts in there, you never know. I was looking at the images that they were showing. Now here's the interesting thing. There's duct tape or I should say, yeah, probably duct tape on the bottom of the magazines. But it's consistently on all of them. Now somebody asked me when they looked at, why would they have that on there? Is it because the magazines opening up and maybe splaying? Well, that won't be a problem if you're using that tape, by the way. But there's another thing, have you ever tried to work AR mags that are metal mags out of mag pouches? You ever had five mags in a five-mag pouch or four mags in a four-mag pouch or three mags in a three-mag side by side? You know what happens? Just like I told you about this tedious situation with the flash fighters with a pickle fork how they snag, same thing happens. So one of the tricks is to un-rough up the edges to smooth out the sides, slick side them so to speak. And if you look, you'll see consistently they did this with all the mags that are in the box that they show. Another thing it looks like they all have anti-tilt followers. They look like they're PMAG, well not PMAG-free, MAG-POLE followers. Now again, we'll find out if you were to buy a crate. But metal mags are cool and the one thing you can do is if something does mess up, you can bend them back. I would point out there's some really good videos with a couple of guys. One of them, again, is a vet. And what he's been doing is shooting magazines. Everybody goes, what? Yeah, he's done a couple of videos, well more than a couple, on okay, I'm carrying this equipment or I'm stealing it off enemy corpses because remember that's what you will be doing and I told you before, please try to blow their crotch out and their legs off because if you shoot higher, well, stuff gets shot. Well, what he did with these videos is he took like these AR-15 mags and he put them in a combat kit and he fired at them. He pulled them out and he goes, nah, how can I make these work? And in some cases he clipped out a lot of sheet metal that I wouldn't have, but he demonstrated how if it took a bullet, say lengthwise and cut a divot in like half of the magazine, that yes, you could not only make it work, but it would function just fine. And he did this with AK mags, he's done a video with F and FAL mags, I think he's done G3 mags, and I know he's done AR-15 mags. But the idea is he's taken three or four mags specifically that are damaged in different ways and Showed that as long as it's not the feed lips and even with the feed lips break out the pliers straighten it back out Arc it over do what you can figure it out and make it work So don't say it can't be done. Now. Is it your first choice? No, but it may be your only choice Always remember that go ahead jump in there I got a bulk lot of G3 mags a while back, the aluminum ones. They were bundled, not all of them were bundled this way when I got them, but a good portion of them have duct tape residue on them, like people either bound them in groups of five or bound them in groups of ten. And that stuff is like ancient concrete. How do I get that crap off? I mean, I don't want to use kerosene. I know kerosene will take it off, but it'll stink the joint up, and I have to do it outside. But is there any really easy, quick way to get that stuff? Because it's hard. You can't. It's not sticky where you could pull it off with another piece of tape. It's like solidified to the to the mag service. Typically, if they're taped there, they're not gonna really restrict your weapon, but they are obnoxious to, you know, have, you know, doing what they do, which is they always have a tendency to stick when you didn't want them to. The big thing is- Yeah, you know what old duct tape does, that the tape pulls off, but it leaves all the adhesive behind. That's basically what's happened. Yeah, the, well, the, what was the name of the, there's, one of the guys, okay, now, this is a trick that might work. Take a little bit of transmission fluid. I don't think it makes any difference which manufacturer. Try a little cotton swab of trans fluid on one. Now be careful because remember aluminum with the oxidizing, I don't know what if that's why you want to test it with a small spot area because different P.O.L. products obviously react to different finishes. But trans fluid seems to me, that's in the memory bank here, was one of the things that worked. I would take a trans container, grab a cotton swab, cotton, not swab, cotton ball, get some on it and work it circularly, you know, move it to see what it does to lift up the adhesive. There's another, I'm trying to think whatever, there was another PLL product. I don't know, we can experiment. First of all WD-40 might actually do something, but you know, again, each item is you know, has specific costs and also how much does it take to get the job done. It seems to me that... My concern is because it's petrified glue. It's not sticky anymore. It's long done. All the polymers or whatever, all the solvents have come out of the glue and it's just like... It's just like, like, plastique. Yeah, I know. That's what I'm saying. The trans fluid will break down the structure of the material, hopefully. The adhesive stock, which is bonded, and rehydrate it so that you can just work it off. But I heard another voice. There's somebody else there. Jump in. Yeah, I think vinegar may work. And it might be free for trans fluid. Right wouldn't hurt to try because if whoever comes up with a better solution We need to need to share it because it's you know, they make that stuff called goo gone Yeah, it's it's out there. Thank you Right and again that I got I got 50 of these mags to do And probably 40 of them have have enough glue on them that it's significantly I'm not going to use them in the in the gun and I bet you vinegar would break that down pretty quick and get that crap right off of there Well, back of my engineer's brain is saying, why are you going to put in, why are you going to put vinegar on a metal, on a piece of metal and especially let it soak? Well, I believe in the world. I can pull one out. I only paid a buck apiece for them, so I'll pull one of the least nice pieces. Well, yeah, you wouldn't want to soak it in it, because that would do something to it. But if you just use it, you know, with a, like, Mark says, a piece of cotton ball or something, and, you know, just rub it off and see what happens. Once you get it rubbed off, then clean it off. And again, we use, in fact, even use water, paper towel, the mild amount of water. to neutralize the agent and then introduce a bore cleaner or whatever, clean them off anyway. But bore clean it afterwards and then reintroduce oil to lubricate, prevent any oxidation issues. Now here's one thing, I don't know, we've got enough time. Real quick, now remember the HK G3 magazines are a unique aluminum. They cannot be fixed with the heliarking. Now, it depends if it's post-65, I think it's post-65 or 66, and they did this intentionally so that they could sell more magazines. There are many different types of aluminum that can be used, and originally when they cranked out the aluminum mags, the German Army specified those for the airborne and mechanized options. And they were very specific about the difference between the steel and the aluminum. But at a certain point, HK started making them in another one of the aluminum, aircraft aluminum variants. And this aluminum was selected because if you try to repair with a heliarch, you know, at the time heliarch was a common, there's other techniques that are now out there. Different rods now that you can do with standard welding cut. But If you try to heliarch it, it's like water on sugar. Instead of bonding, it literally disintegrates the magazine. How unlike HK to do something like that to try and jam us on magazine. I never would have thought it. Yeah, it's a bloody meal team borax. Why? Because of HK and we hate you. Remember that guys, they do. They hate you. There are HK rifles and pistols you can't get magazines for and they specifically import them into the US. But with everybody else, if the customer has to buy more mags, if you can't fix them, can't fix them in the field or the country can't fix them, then you got to buy more mags. And their logic is you got to come back to HK. And back in the day, you had to because HK was vicious about second line production. Remember, I remember my USP are $43 apiece now. Yeah. Well, and let's not forget HK, when after I told you guys this, I know all the guys in Airsoft that were doing production, and everybody was copying the MP5 and the HKG3, right? Do you know HK went after all of those standard big company, airsoft producers like Maru company to prevent them from making their copy, which was an airsoft toy, an airsoft training aid in HK pattern of any kind. Now then HK came back as they realized there was a market for airsoft and everybody told them to go piss off and eat feces and die. And so they ended up having to go to one of the second rate companies and the products accordingly reflected, you know, performance was reflected by quality of the manufacturer. And HK deserved it, by the way. They really did. Anyway, because we are at the top, it is 6 o'clock, we are going to go to a break right now. I knew the music could be there. God bless the Republic. I still have half a cup left and we will be back in a few minutes here for the second hour of the Intel report. It is weapons Wednesday. Your mind is your first best weapon. But to keep it functioning, you need to back it up with that. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave. In this the legacy home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this 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, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You 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 trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize family farms and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died? Or 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? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. Preserve our great republic in each God-given right. And pray to God, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God-given right, we only 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 if he called out from the grave the land of the free? Afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Cornty. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories East, South, North, and West. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com LibertyTreeRadio.org and we're on satellite. Want to say hi to all our merchant rate operators out there no matter what body of water you are sitting on right now and the fact that that water will be under you and behind you in no time at all even as I said it. Congratulations if you're a war zone stay safe. We're also on a myriad of other communications technologies both inside and outside these United States and it is Weapons Wednesday, it is the 24th of April. It is the 16th year of open, obvious and in your face, vavian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2024, old Earth calendar 2024 battle for the Republic, the dance of swords. Let the dance continue, let the battles begin. Aim low, go slow. Hits count, misses don't. Put a bullet right in their crotch, blow their leg out. Arterial bleed will deal with the rest. Mess it down below, put most of the equipment up above intact. Aim low because that way if you ride up, you jerk the trigger, whatever, at least it's gonna hit something on the target. Cracking rounds over the head is not what we want. Hit something. Tag snag or put them down real hard. Doesn't make any difference. Hit something. progressive attrition is what you're looking at or terminal contact take care of a boom down. But aim for the groin area. You know, all of our live fire activities, what I forced everybody to do is drop down to that area. Again, what they find is more consistent hits. Why? Well, because again, as you ride up with recoil, depending upon what you're doing and how you're in fire maneuver, you're breathing hard, you just run from one point of cover to the other, you've returned, you've requested cover fire, you bring your weapon up, you produce again, contact fire and cover fire and process continues. So before we go any farther, it is Weapons Wednesday. Go ahead. I got something else. Last night, I didn't get a chance to pipe in towards the end of the program to say, hey, it's there. I'm on the gilded page in the documents section. I posted a book called Emergency Field Surgery. Great book, very well covered topics. It's about $40-some if you want to buy the actual book. So there's a link to a PDF there. You can download it and print it out. And we can download it and study it, or you can send it to the wind so everybody we know has it. Over. Very good. Again, that's over at our Gilded Scroll. Take the time. Pull it down. First of all, make disk or thumb drive copies for the system that you're using, but also print a copy out for your library immediately. And I would recommend this again for anybody who's listening. Go over to our gilded scroll, find that, pull it down, put it not, don't leave it in your computer. You can leave it in your computer, but make a physical copy that is separate from everything else you're doing. That way it could be plugged into another system. But I would also recommend, you know, round up an old printer from somewhere that does just black and white. Usually that's cheapest way to go for the cartridges. I've got a couple of Epson's here that are, you know, one purpose, one purpose only. They crank out stuff like that for that reason, to put it in binder form or, you know, staple book form on the shelf. We can always copy what we have. Go ahead. If you're going to make, if you're going to print things out. I am going to recommend a laser printer over an inkjet. Even though the laser printer is more expensive, that paper gets wet. You can dry it out and you'll still be able to read what's on it. If the inkjet one gets wet, it all blurs into a mush and it's worthless. It's muscle-throwed away. Over. Yep. And again, it only takes a minute to invest. Well, it takes a little bit of time. That's the investment. to be able to put on the shelf what we need and we need all of these items in place ASAP. This should be the sort of priorities. I am going to post some other things tonight. They will be links to all of the stuff that we used to want back in the 90s that we would get a hold of the Delta Press and say, gosh, I wish I could afford all of these books. Paladin Press, Citadel Press, Delta Press, the whole shebang. I found them all and I will be posting links to pretty much anything you guys want to find that was published by those guys. Over. Very good. Now, real quick, we were talking medical here. Now, I've been hesitating, but I want to make sure we get these before anybody else does. It's not really a medical item, but it is a tactical vest in woodland camo. I believe actually it's CCE, but it's a woodland camo tactical vest, nine pocket tactical vest. It's in the clearance section for $17. Now, it's comparable to any of the other vests of this type that we've picked up before, although this one has a padded back. So this is a little different cut. I don't know who made this. I think it might be MilTech. I'm not sure. There were other models, other patterns available, but the Woodland pattern, the one they have over it's in the clearance section is $17. And Dar and all the rest of our good friends, a certain ally gave you a special code number, bringing the price of that down by how much? Which means you're talking basically buying an entire tactical vest for the price of a Molly pouch. These are over at Shotgun News right now. $17 is the membership price and that's an excellent price. But if you have any of the double discount or bigger discounts for, again, purchasing, this brings this thing down to a ridiculously cheap price. Has there been feedback on that bulk quantity of medical items that we were interested in? Oh, not yet. He, I talked to him yesterday, but we didn't, he hadn't finished that. So, this vest is what I, I'll tell you what guys, go take a look at this and here's why I bring this one up because he just said medical. I could use these as regular combat tactical vests, but what I would use these for are dock vests. Look at the size of the pouches and how they're put together. The other nice thing is that the backpack, the back area where the impact point is for the backpack is padded. Now, it doesn't have any accommodation for any kind of MOLLE strapping on the back, which is good. I don't need it there. But, now the other thing I noticed about this, I don't believe this, this is set up kind of like a US Army MOLLE vest, in that you don't have any suspender or hanger points, you don't have the loop points for a pistol belt at the bottom. Not that I could see. But what I would do with these, what we're doing with these, is I'm loading these up as absolute complete unzip and take this dock, take that one off, put this one on, go. The idea is to load them up, put them into the containers that we use for our medical, and when the time comes, okay, who's going to be working with dock as an assistant? Okay, come over here. and you switch them out to this vest and this vest has everything that Doc has or if Doc doesn't have anything and shows up bare-ass naked then you take this vest, put it on him, give him his utility backpack, his Batman backpack with everything in it, all the other stuff and he's going. He's ready to run. Now, personal weapons still needs to be tied in there, etc. There are supposed to be a couple of mag pouches for pistol on this thing. Does not have a holster that I could see, could be maybe in the pocket, but I don't think so. But this is a really good buy. They're in Woodland slash, looks to me, the format to me looks more like French CCE Woodland, which when you throw the American and the other together, 99% of the people out there wouldn't know the difference. But if you're familiar with the different pattern on the CCE, which is French Woodland, it has that flavor. But I don't care, I'm buying a bunch of them. But if anybody out there is listening and you're looking to put medical together and you're gonna have a designated medic, then these vests would be useful. I'd at least pick up two per man. Because the one gets loaded up, the other gets loaded up exactly like the first, whatever your SOP is. And that way when you go into the field, Doc has run through everything he's got. He's tired, he's frustrated, he's not a happy camper typically. He's focused and he's energized. So you just, Doc, take that off. Put the next one on, there you go. He doesn't have to guess because everything that the way the first system was set up, you have set up to his standards. Whoever your medic is, you let him set the equipment up to his standard. But you make sure that everything else you build is exactly like it for the benefit of your operators. Okay, so this is a good choice. It's over at Sportsman's Guide dot com. sportsmansguy.com. They're $17 apiece. If you have any of the other discounts like the double discount, we have another one. Look at how much less the cost of the thing is. I mean, it's ridiculous. You can't buy, most molly pouches right now have gone stupid up in price to the point where you're buying a whole vest system for the price of what you buy one molly pouch for. So also for you people building up 5-10 programs, watch for these kind of deals. And that's what you do because I know most of you don't have big bucks. I understand that. Everybody's stretched, but we're all getting ready for the war. So anytime I can cut corners there to get more people basically equipped, once we start stripping the enemy bare-ass naked for everything they've got, we can move up or upgrade progressively. Some people won't want to do that because once they're accommodated to it, you know, they're familiarized with a particular system, they'll just stick with it. That doesn't mean you can't pull stuff off their gear and put it on your gear, which is what we'll be doing a lot of. So, and especially stripping out everything in the stinking pockets, no matter what it is. So, that's over at Sportsman's Guide dot com nine pocket tactical vest in Woodland Camel. Nine pocket tactical vest in Woodland Camel. It's in the clearance section. You go over to the clearance section there at Sportsman's Guide. Over on the left side, if you pay attention, there's a section here that says surplus only. Tag that and it makes it a lot easier to go through what else is there. Now, consider this. You can get that Woodland vest for, with the extra discount, probably for $14 or $15, right? About $14. And you can buy a complete Woodland uniform in extra large, in Italian Woodland, and you won't know the difference, and neither will anybody else. and you buy two or three uniforms, you get that vest, you grab yourself a backpack from somewhere for the best price in a woodland camel, and you're kitted out. By the way, with the Italian uniforms, every uniform you get another hat, so you get three extra hats, but you really aren't extra because you're gonna lose them. And then you still need all your other basic items, but that's your problem, go hunt. But right now in the clearance section for $17, you can get an extra large, which is really a little oversized. Woodland Italian camouflage uniform, pants, shirt, and hat. Still need a field jacket. Go hunt down best price for a CCE or an Italian Woodland field jacket. You can kid out a lot more people than Woodland right now if you cherry pick off all the systems that are out there. And shoot, no shoot, friend foe, friend foe, friend foe. It's more important that we can figure out bad guy, good guy, real quick. And everybody is wearing multi-cam. So multi-cam is not your first choice. We'll find enough of it as it is. And we still have a ton of it. I've got tons of multi-cam. It's not my first choice. And be quite honest, some of the camos I've picked up over the years that you've never seen work better than anything we presently can buy. I just don't have that much. I don't give it out easily. When the time comes, it's going to war. And the stuff that we do have like that, it works like it's a predator outfit. That's what we describe it like in the movie, Predator. You literally it's like, where did he go? So doesn't mean you can't do that. Each camel has its field of, you know, advantage, you know, where it works better or some things work better than others, no matter where you are on the planet. Anyway, again, another thing real quick. Oh, they do have a flurry of used German combat boots out there right now. I know where they came from. We haven't seen these for about 20 years. It's been that long since we've had actually longer than that. Forgive me, this is your 2024. We haven't seen the push on used German or used Swiss boots like we've seen here in the last couple of weeks. Everybody's carrying them right now. They are serviceable enough, but again, the prices are much higher than they were before. And heavier boot. That's the other thing to remember. These are traditional combat boots. Everybody's used to lighten the loafers. Most people need lighter because everybody's gotten older. That's any other consideration. But remember, the heavier boot lasts longer. Yeah, again, it was designed to your mother was army boats. Yeah, but they were they last forever. That's why mom's got them. Oops. That's right heavier ones actually make better weapons if you're stuck on your back and you've got nothing to swing at somebody's head except that boot again, we're almost to the bottom here before I forget also What was the other oh again? Gosh for him a hundred papers here guys Again, okay, somebody's asking me right here. Hold on. Okay, good, good, good, good. Right, I've got my hand right here too. ATI Alpha Max, ATI Alpha Max. That's the AR-15. Polymer upper and lower. It is a rebirth, but not the same weapon. The design of the rifle I told you about from 30 years ago. was look to be a standard M4 otherwise if you were to look at it and just look at it everybody looked at thought oh M4 rifle big deal they'd reach for the rifle and they'd be expecting to you know lift the weapon with a certain amount of muscle and they'd lift it like they were pulling up a feather you know be like whoa whoa what's wrong with this gun and it's like whoa this is a lot lighter yes it's not an M4 it's an M4 like weapon But again, I'd like to see somebody 5.5 pounds is great. I'd like to see somebody no more build a You know that there are people that are like oh, it's lighter. I can put more stuff on it Right exactly which I don't want no yeah, I just say well here's the thing it looks like it has a single station at the bottom and relatively close to the front of the magazine well is the thing to me but it looks like it does have an accommodation for a vertical foregrip that can be screwed into place or locked into place that you can buy one of the off-the-shelf models but it's more of the the bicycle handlebar model. Now most of the ones are right orders. Now I saw an M-lock rail underneath. Yeah, but it's only, oh, well then there are different ones then because there's another The one that probably is if you go take a look at this video the one that's in the video has like a tapering slope to the rear from the front where the front sight is where the you know the GAD the gas deflector is and It comes down a little bit of an angle and there's a flat spot in front of the magazine well towards the receiver and if you looking at it and when it was moved it looks to me like it either has a standard thread base and because most of the foregrips are out there originally were designed to work with a, I think it's quarter 20, I could be off, slap me in the microphone if I'm wrong. But they're also the same one, you could screw it into its base and then it would clamp into a standard picatinny rail. Either way, and by the way, that's now passé in favor of other ideas, but This is designed to be an inexpensive weapon to begin with, so I'm not worried about catching up with the Joneses on this thing. I'm looking for, and what I'd like to see is a reflection of the price matching the lightweight and light duty of the weapon. Because $300 is reasonable. I've seen them for $325, no, $300 even, $299, or $325 about there. Like you said, they have gone more, they are more expensive in some locations. When you start getting up to $400 or $450, you can buy a half a dozen other light carbines for less that are 9 millimeter as we said or 40 cal or 45. In fact, you can still buy high point carbines for a pretty reasonable price out there. And if you're looking for a lightweight rifle because you're getting older, as I said a million times, ain't none of us getting younger, and or if you're looking for a support weapon. Because you are that radio tech or your whatever your units try to come up with something that makes sense The biggest the big advantage of the AR types is they're all taking glocks pretty much I mean you can buy them to take I think sig mags But for the most part everybody got smart and went Glock So in that respect if you're already on Glock pistols then having a light rifle that takes Glock magazines is pretty smart I'm on a mags, I'm on a mags. Shut up, here let me throw you one. And no, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, oh it does work. Which of course you already do anyway if you're with a unit. So anyway, just ideas. The big thing here about these light, light, light, light ARs is again, everybody can handle them, but you are contributing with a light rifle, light rifle round rather than a pistol round. And so again you get a little more reach they're testing they're showing I think he was taking it out to 300 yards and I could hear metal being hit. And bang! So again they work now they're not nothing to write home about but then again wow I got something different for everybody else I guess I will write home about this one. Next, ammunition, don't forget, I had some questions about 303 British. I guess people are picking up some of these end fields from like Atlantic. Atlantic has really give away prices and also centerfiresystems.com. If you need 303 ammo, if they have it in stock and it's been up and down the last three weeks or so, go to aimsurplus.com, PPU, preview partisan, under $20 a box for 303 British. military ball round or soft point. And if you're out of ball rounds, go with a soft point. It's a manual operated rifle. It'll function every time. And I don't want to really get hit with 180 grain or 170 grain 303 round coming down range and opening up on me. You know what I mean? So trust me, any of those rounds will work. The big thing is, get ammunition on the shelf. Those are boxer prime, non-corrosive, fresh brass case, heated, and kneeled. It's as good as you're gonna ask for anywhere. And fresh ammunition too. That's over at AIMSurplus.com and PPU, preview part is on. It may have gone up, like I told you, expect prices with regard to the devaluation of the currency with the latest scam with the Federal Reserve screwing us the way they are right now. We can look at a probable increase in price of up to 25%, realistically. I've already seen that with some of the items that have reappeared. In fact, a couple companies, they've got the old inventory sitting there. The new stuff has come up listed as a different listing, and guess what? The difference is about 20%, 22% more per item. So that's just the nature of where we are going into the toilet with the economy. And this is why we got to save pennies and dollars wherever we can so that we can afford to still continue to stack and rack ammunition in magazines, which we absolutely need more of because those are the perishables. And for every one of you that does a lot, some people are going to be talked into BS by some fool to buy all two or three mags and that's it. You don't need it anymore because it'll draw attention to you. I'll piss on that. If you've got a rifle, you've already got attention drawn. If you own a weapon and you actually speak, or if you're a white Christian heterosexual male, guess what? You're on the list. Since you're already on the list, piss on it. But here's the other thing. If there's a grandpa or grandma out there, you're 90 years old, best way you can help the family is do all the purchasing. Grandma or grandpa, if you pass away, you take it to the grave. Seriously. I am absolutely dead cold serious about that. If you are the senior members of the family and you, I can't run and I can't fight, you know what you can do? Buy the hell out of everything we need. Put all the money together with grandpa, get grandpa to be the purchasing officer and go to town. And as soon as it gets to grandpas, get it out of there. ASAP, we got units that do this every day. And the people that are doing it have been in the Patriot Movement for decades as far as they're concerned piss on the other side. They don't care about them anyway. But since, you know, again, what are you gonna do? Threaten me with heaven? You know, come on. Anyway, we're at the bottom of the hour. And the second bottom of the hour means only one thing here. Hey! Wizard. This is my rifle. There are men like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. Before God. What mind you've managed to fill is in our alleys There's danger, and there's danger in our hills Oh, here you're not just singing off the view, though wild and free But soon you'll know the ringing of the rifle from the tree Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle In our hands could prove no frightful You may ride a good late speed, you may know it's a turn of master. You forward march with speed, but you'll learn to back as much faster when you meet our mountain boys. And your leader, John Scott, glad you make what little noise and always hit the mark. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle, in our hands we'll prove no rifle. We need no graves at home, back across the dried water. And giddy must come, as well as to the floor. But if we the job must do, then as soon as it's begun. If bling and figure hold the butt through, the quicker it will be done. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands we'll prove no to rifle. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands we'll prove no to rifle. Go slow, hits count misses don't. Oh, the rifle in our hands will prove no trifle. Hit him, hit him hard, hit him once, let him die out there screaming amongst their buddies because we plan on making sure none of them escape. But nothing but a rumor of their destruction returned to where they came from. Now next on the agenda and if you could let's pull up a guns and gadgets the guns and gadgets for today please. We haven't done that yet in the two hours and I'd like to do that at least once a day so that everybody can be up to speed with whatever it is that Jared might be covering and go to guns and gadgets on YouTube and we get there. Please take the time and subscribe if you're on YouTube and stay there on a regular basis also give thumbs up to all the videos that are there. Why? Because it's free, doesn't cost you anything, it's another way you can spit back at the enemy. And spit back at YouTube also. Or at least feel good about it. Doesn't make any difference if they're listening or not. We don't care, they're not relevant to us, but let's see what we can do to help out a friend. And anything that doesn't cost anything, while you're busy doing something else, is multitasking. Which is a good thing. So for everybody out there, again, guns and gadgets. Also, We should be hearing probably Jared any minute here. It's got to get through the ads. I know how that is. For everybody again... Here we go. That is the right, the right for adults aged 18 to 21 to exercise their God-given right to keep and bear firearms for the defense of themselves and others. That's right. Let's get into this one. Now, this victory is a result of a lawsuit that was filed by three individuals, the Second Amendment Foundation and the Firearms Policy Coalition. And this took place in the state of Pennsylvania. Now, this, what I'm going to read you, is from the Second Amendment Foundation. It said, Pennsylvania law generally allows for individuals over the age of 18 years old to openly carry firearms without a license to carry firearms. However, the law provides for extremely limited transportation of firearms absent a license to carry firearms, allowing an individual to take an unloaded firearm from their home to only a certain couple locations. Now, as a result, People without license to carry firearms, licenses to carry firearms, may not take an unloaded firearm from their home to most locations in order to then openly carry for self-defense. Makes sense. To compound the issue further, the law does not allow for an individual under the age of 21 to apply for a license to carry firearms. As a result, young adults ages 18 to 20 years old are unable to acquire licenses if they choose to and are barred from exercising their right to bear arms outside the home. The Second Amendment's plain text as informed by this nation's history and tradition, reveals that prohibiting the bearing of arms by young adults is constitutionally impermissible. There were no colonial or founding era laws, for that matter, that restricted the rights of young adults to keep and carry firearms. On October 16, 2020, the Second Amendment Foundation filed this suit, along with Firearms Policy Coalition and three individuals. The lawsuit asks a federal court to declare that the ban violates the second and the 14th amendments and enjoin the defendants from enforcing the ban. I want to show you what this judge said, because it's pretty cool. Before I do, I've been asking you all for a couple days now.

Here's the judge's ruling. And this is in the... Western District of Pennsylvania, the case is Laura v. Evanchick, and this just came out at the time of this recording. The order of the court, and now on this 24th day of April, 2024, pursuant to the directive of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, it is hereby ordered that the Commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police is hereby enjoined from arresting law-abiding persons 18 to 20 years old who openly carry firearms during a state of emergency declared by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It is further ordered that one, the Commissioner and his officers, agents, servants, employees, all persons in concert or participation with them, and all who have notice of the injunction are enjoined from enforcing their laws, policies, and practices that prevent plaintiffs and those similarly situated between ages 18 and 20 years old who are not disqualified from exercising their Second Amendment rights and wish to acquire a license under 18 PACS 6109 from applying for and being issued such a license. Number two, the commissioner and his officers, agents, servants, employees, and all persons in concert or participation with them, and all who have notice of the injunction are enjoined from enforcing 18 PACS 6106 and 6107, and their related regulations, policies, enforcement practices, and actions that individually and or collectively prevent any individual between the ages of 18 and 20 years old who are not disqualified from exercising their second amendment rights, from carrying loaded, operable firearms, including handguns, on their person, in public, and in their vehicles for all lawful purposes, including self-defense. Judge William S. Stickman, U.S. District Court Judge. This is a huge ruling. Huge. Now, we'll see what Pennsylvania does. Will they? you know, fight to stop this again, ask her a stay and all the things that the anti-gun states do. But this is happening across the country. These, SAF and FPC teamed up for a bunch of lawsuits in different states on this specific identical matter. Here in Tennessee, we're fighting to get the state to conform and to comport with a federal order that says basically the same thing. Yet Tennessee is slow to make that change. But it's going to get done. I want to hear from you on this, because there are a lot of people who watch this who believe, for whatever reason they have, that 18-20 year olds shouldn't have guns. Sounds very Tim Kennedy-like if you ask me. But we send those age folks off to war. It's okay for them to fight for oil or to go over and do other things on behalf of this country and for freedom. But when they come to the homeland, we expect them to be victims. Doesn't make sense to me. And that age group and younger fought to create this country. They were involved in the revolution. Yet, they're not good enough now because feelings. So, that's my side. If somebody is They're law abiding citizens, they have all their rights. We don't get our rights from government, so why shouldn't they be able to carry? I'm open to hearing folks out, I really am, but just want to know my side of it. I believe, yeah, they're adults. They're adults and they can get into contracts, they can go into debt, they can get credit cards, loans, start businesses, get married, all the other stuff, vote, but you can't defend yourself, doesn't make sense. See you all on the next one, big win. Thanks to SAF, thanks to FPC. You can support them. Links are down below. You can also support them while drinking their coffee. At Blackout Coffee, every item you order of SAFs and FPCs and GOAs, we send $2 per item right back to those groups every single month. It's our way of helping them fight for the Second Amendment. See you all in the next one. Take care. and I was guns and gadgets for everybody out there take the time over as I said you know give a thumbs up also subscribe only takes a minute to do so and you would be helping Jared out with the algorithm of course they are still probably blocking or fiddle farting with it no matter what but Hey, we make the effort. It doesn't cost anything. You're going to go over and watch videos anyway. Take the time. Just take a minute. Go over there, give them a thumbs up, and then on to other things. Subscribe, then on to other things. It only takes a little bit. Mark? So, from what I understand, what he's saying is that the 18 to 21 year olds are recognized for their right to arms, but not their arms. I thought that was a double-sided coin there that not only were you allowed to, or not loud, but not only is the government not allowed to make any laws regarding the fact that you own them, but the fact that you carry them around with you. I think we need a reassortment here. Well, interestingly enough, this goes back to the whole argument. Where did this come from? Where did this idea come from in the first place? Traditionally in this country, as is pointed out, well, George Washington in the week before his famous Christmas campaign, remember? Across the river, icy chunks, everybody freezing, guys laying down in the snow, literally, they're melting the snow down to the grass while they lay there. waiting for the troops to gather up on when they got to the other side of the river. Remember all that? Well, remember what also Washington said? Those were his lads. His army was made up of old men and young boys. The other term, as you've probably heard many times, was beardless boys, remember? Beardless. That was popular. That was a popular term. Yeah. Two simple words. Keep and bear. Keep and bear what does that mean keep means to and bear means they have on your person Okay at all times. That's what that means Right, but we don't have the problem is what what the reason this is an interesting fight is Because all of this came about came about back in the in the 60s and 70s is an argument again Because they made it they up until Well, the post Vietnam era is when all of this actually changed because you had 10 years worth of soldiers who had been drafted who went overseas or got permission because they were 17. And they went overseas to get their ass blown off, but they couldn't smoke, they couldn't drink, and they weren't given permission to do much of anything. Now overseas, they get their ass blown off, no problem at all. So they had all of the responsibility, but they got none of the benefits. And so that was something we all remembered after Vietnam, and it was the Vietnam veteran that changed the laws. It was the soldiers who came back all of them, you know again were pissed They were tired of this garbage and it's you take something like that usually enough pissing in somebody's face That everybody gets tired of it. He actually act in this case Go ahead description going on here for like about a hundred years now So, you know, I mean, you know, the reason we feed the British because, well, we weren't on the mainland back in their country, you know, Europe. And you have militias. It's like a hornet's nest. And they can't, there's no central anything they can take over or bomb or kill or destroy. Because it's just, they came through and they, like a hornet's nest. You got militia here, militia there, militia everywhere. Okay? And people like, Americans have their arms back then, right? There's no country like that. I mean, they had everything locked down pretty good for centuries. Well, in the last hundred years with regard to even the issue of in service, okay, World War I, Boy Scouts went, here's the difference, okay, this is what I've always pointed out. Give me the benchmark when this changed. How many people realize that Boy Scouts went into combat World War I? The Boy Scouts of America, okay? There's two kids, I think one of them, I think if you look, at least one of them, forgive me, one of them received the Congressional Medal of Honor. What were they doing over there? They were scout writers. They were used as couriers, and they went to war. In the Navy, we still had at that point, powder monkeys. And I've mentioned this many times on the air, World War I, actually, Spann and War for sure. We had kids who were 11, 12 years old, some even younger, that were munitions handlers because they could fit into the tight spaces. And so they were assigned out to service. Nobody talks about this. That's why, again, we had 13-year-olds and 12-year-olds who were combat veterans. of pretty horrific naval actions as a matter of fact, because they got the shit shot out of them. But, and many didn't make it, they were all below decks. That's why if you ever notice that there's not a whole lot of discussion about like going through the list of the rankers in the big naval operation losses. World War II was different. By the time we get to World War II, before World War II, the Navy had gone to pretty much an all adult service. And in fact, it's somewhere during the 20s, and each service was a little different. Remember, it used to be you could sign up and nobody cared, but they specifically started to address age. Now part of it was because of combat losses. We weren't in the war that long, but combat losses were high enough that the argument was that you didn't send the younger people off to war because, well, it might be the last son of a family line or something like that. But all of the arguments for this are weird because as much as anything it was control. And it's interesting, it wasn't the conservative side that put the restrictions on the young people. Let's remember that, it wasn't the conservative slash traditional Americans because if you were a traditional American, you knew what I'm talking about right now. So what was the agenda? What was the purpose? Well, it's like every other aspect. You know, people that were willing to step up to fight the war for independence, well, the young kids were willing to step in. They didn't have anywhere to go in some cases. They were poor in most cases. And you know what? They also were highly motivated. And they know this. We had a lot of firearms. Yes, we do today. You know, there's like somebody, Japanese said something like, oh, no, there's a gun behind every blade of grass. in America. Right, we both made you sure. Well the other half of that has to do with the idea that we also just like we're seeing right now what are they worried about? Well they know that since they've tried every other way to manipulate arms they want to try and block personal manufacturing. Personal manufacturing is... You're crazy. Well no, they're doing what we expected them to do. Well, and so they're talking about and it's ridiculous. I mean they never give up I've been watching this for years since the eight since the 60s. It's just ridiculous I mean, you know, and of course, you know Yeah, we do we know exactly we're gonna have to do. Oh, wait, hold up. We got another caller I think though. Whatever another voice caller jump in there Okay. Yeah, it's text mix. Yeah, good Yeah, don't forget on the British side, a lot of the young officers were actually 12 and 13, 14 year old boys. If they came from a wealthy family, they bought their commission. Bought their commission, exactly. Yeah, that's the part that everybody forgets is both sides, everybody. As long as rigamortis didn't set in right away, you were in the military if you wanted to be, just personal choice. personal flavor choice. Go ahead. I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah. And they had man and women, you know. Well, we tried not to throw our women into battle and we shouldn't now because men can't have babies. Let's always remember that. Now, in the same breath, contrary to the argument that, oh, you mean all the women were disarmed? No. You know, women were fighters. Colonial women especially had to be. Because, again, if you were set upon, everybody pitched into the fight. I've argued this for years. You think that when the savages were out there on the frontier attacking the house, the women were running around screaming? Hell no. Literally, a frying pan was a damn good weapon. It had beaten somebody over the head, coming through a crawl space. And that's why doors were short, so people had to bend over. In many cases, in the most extreme frontier fortifications, it was like many of the other sites in Europe or even with the Indian nations out west. The entrance doors were designed so you had to bend over to come in. And while you were trying to come in, if you were the whoop-whooper, then grandma was sitting there with a frying pan caved your head in with that number eight. In fact, if she was smart, she had some fat or grease cooking on the pan, ready to go, because as soon as they heard there was trouble, they put boiling water on the stove, not for casualties, so they could burn people. Everything was a weapon. So the first thing a woman would do, you'd throw- Oh, you just gave me a great idea about the half-height door. Oh, boy. Thank you. Well, no, in fact, if you look out west with the cliff dwellers, if anybody ever looked at how the cliff dwellers set up their cities, they're called cliff dwellers for a reason. You could access them from the land, which is the only real way to get in, but they literally created a tunnel system where you had to crawl your way into the town. Well, it was easy to defend because all you had to do was have two or three men with bonk-boks at the entrance end. And when somebody poked their head out, smacked their head open like a melon. Well, there's a corpse sitting in the way. Now the next one tries to squeeze through and you back his head in too. Now you got two organic stinky sandbags laying there and there's not a whole lot more room, but maybe a third one will try to get through. Maybe they'll try to drag one of the bodies back, but whoever does, bunk, you get it again. So again, the women fought, but the women fought because they were always an objective. They were a target. They always have been. Women are important. And for that reason, we need to remember to protect them. We can't get more people if the women are all dead. And that's the part though of some of these feminists hate the idea, I haven't been pushing out babies. Well, that's your physiological job, congratulations. And if you started to neglect that, then you, well, the civilization dies. And as you can see that your enemy probably plans on making that happen. And one of the ways to do it is to convince the population to have children. Well, the population that the other side considers the enemy. You know, they never give up. They keep going after the guns, man. I have no problem. Well, actually, we need this to happen now. So let's all keep in mind. It's time. I call it treason. And it's been going on a long time now. Right and there's still all office or government or whatever. There was a train. Sorry about that Well, I'll tell you what we're gonna do. We're at the top We're gonna be hearing the music here in a minute before we go away. I got it one more thing For everybody out there guys, we could use donations with Liberty Tree radio We're not doing a donation drive per se But if you could take the time and go over to Liberty Tree radio dot 4 mg dot com Donate five ten dollars you see in your heart to do, it would make a difference and we would appreciate it. So LibertyFreeRadio.4mg.com, go to the donate key, donate whatever amount you choose, help to keep the station up and online with certain technologies. We're going to do some change outs here pretty soon. God bless, Republic. I forgot about the end, you can open the drink coming up, we'll be back at 8 o'clock, we'll be getting comfortable, go up next. Had the cars passin' by, and he offers salvation For the Savior on high's, their tattered ain't bathe in weeds Out with the bottle, it shows up on a scarecrow At to-be-ho, the shepherd, bringing lambs to the fold He holds in his hands, says, I'm proof that the good Lord But in spite of the chills of this collar speaks of God's will He is weakened, faith is still strong For He's filled with conviction for the mission's own He'll be harmless no more As His work was so deco from that fall My bed. He took off his three cornered hat. He fought a revolution, liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the left brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, 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. and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You 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 trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize family farms and keep our country. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died? Or 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? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Both sons of the Republic arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. And pray to God, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now his parents trampled each god-given right. We only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Kornke. one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories south, north, west and ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org, and we are on satellite. I'll say hi to all our merchant marine operators out there. No matter what body of water you're on or war zone you're in. Also, we're in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside the United States to include WBCQ, the planet. And that's 6.160 regular shortwave, WBCQ, the planet. It is Wednesday, it's weapons Wednesday. It is the 24th of April. It is the 16th year of open, obvious and pissing in your face. Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2024 older calendar. I'll give it all she's got, Captain. And 2024 battle for the Republic book three. a dark anniversary. And for the feds it was because all of the creatures that thought they had a deal with their kosher communist handlers, well, all the deals, they disappeared. As always happens with the fools who think they can make a deal with the Jewish communists. And they find out time and again, There aren't any deals. You're goyim, and they know you're goyim, and that's how they treat you. Animals without a soul, and who can lie to an animal so there is no such thing when the chosen. Well, do their backstabbing oh so well. It is what's happening in America with the K right now, the occupied lands. Gonna clean that place out, gotta clean the country out. We're going to war in 24 and that means you need to organize armed equipment, train as militia, establish a 510 program in your area of operations, logistics, Pakeeta victory, understand? We are going into conflict. For all of our friends, we've got a bunch of other stuff coming up here. Okay, what we're gonna do, before I forget, I mentioned this during the tour block. Over at Sportsman's Guide, they have a number of interesting things in the clearance. But one of the things that is in there, it's probably the best buy of everything sitting on the shelf there right now. There's a bunch of other good buys though, good purchases. You literally outfit an individual right now for a minimal amount of money, at least get into some decent equipment. But they have a nine pocket tactical woodland camouflage slash, I think it's French CCE. It is a padded back. It's a little different design for most of the others that are out there. This particular design popped in about two years ago. They've had this vest on the shelf there on and off for at least the last couple of years. Right now it's $17 Buyers Club and with all the different special discounts, it's a lot less making it cheaper than buying one or two just Molly pouches out there right now. What we're using this vest for is medical support. And I've got a bunch of them on the way. Those are going to be packed up as doc kits and they will go right into the transport barrels. So that you literally pull it out of the bucket and hand it to Bob the medic or his assistant and they're uniformly equipped with each one is packed the same way and to Bob specification. There's Dr. Bob. And we can hand them out until we run out, or they can be used for 5-10 programs. Again, you're looking at about $15 or $14 with the extra discount, a little more than less, depending on what discount you run into. If you get on the email list, what happens? They send you discount information that varies from day to day, week to week. So you need to pay attention to that. But that's over a sportsman's guide. Now that's Woodland Camo for the vest. They also have Woodland Camo extra large Italian uniforms. This includes pant, shirt, and a cap. Now you could buy three of those and find a backpack that makes sense with the particular rig. And your basics are all covered. At least the core components are covered. You still need boots and all the other fun stuff. But you can find knee pads and elbow pads there right now for about $269 for a mil-spec US issue. And there's also a number of other safety and or security items over in the clearance section. If you cherry pick from that and a few other sites around the planet, in the United States, I should say. You can outfit a person for a very reasonable price right now. And for the 5-10 program where somebody started out with nothing and you're able to actually give them something, it's a far cry from a sharp stick in harsh language. Okay, it makes a big difference when we can uniformly outfit an entire fire team or a squad, which is your goal, should be your goal. That's what the 5-10 program is all about. So, again, that's sportsmansguide.com, sportsmansguide.com, sportsmansguide.com. Now, also, Atlantic Firearms has a bundle deal. Our callers brought this up the other day. It's still there because I checked last night. Now, as far as I know, they're not all moved out yet, but they have metal. What are supposed to be Israeli Defense Forces, which are probably American OK mags, American Action Arms, my favorite that goes back to the Vietnam War. Action Arms, anybody remember those? Action Arms magazines, they were government contract mags. We had thousands of them, hundreds of thousands of them, right next to the Colts, okay? But this looks like it's a mixed bag of American mags that were dumped on the market. by the Israelis, of course, we probably even have to pay them to take them and then they turn around and sell them out the back door. But it's 100 magazines for, I believe, $695, so that's $6.95 a piece, which is a good buy. Might wanna go check that out, go through the scroll of the Atlantic firearms. In addition to that, Rivertownmunitions.com, Rivertownmunitions.com, Rivertownmunitions, Munitions, not ammunition, Munitions.com, $415 for 1,000 rounds of 45 ACP, silly billet or you know, silly a big L. Or of course, I think was it mag, not mag tech, not is mag tech, I believe it is. Anyway, they do have a lot of other items there to peruse through. I looked at it real quick. I didn't get a chance to get deep into it, but you need to go check that particular site out, Rivertownmunitions.com. And 1,000 rounds of 45 ACP for $415. And let's keep the colts banging away, dudes. We want to make sure that they are outfitted and equipped. Also, at least six magazines per weapon if you're gonna put another additional weapon on the shelf right off the bat. Six mags and one of the magazine. Well, that should be policy across the board no matter what the weapon is. And one of the reasons is because when things get cut off, they're gonna get cut off all at once. What you got is all you got until we start stripping enemy dead, and that will happen. That's not an if, that's just a when, as we know. Let's see, next. policy. Something I wanted to talk about had to do with target acquisition, offense or defense. It doesn't make any difference, team leaders. Now, one of the discussions has been fire on my trace for the team leader or maybe even a plea, be the platoon leader or it could be a designated squad leader or squad group leader. with each element that's deployed. The idea here is to use tracer without word of mouth, without radio, being able to control fires to destroy, slash, decimate an objective. There's two techniques. One is, again, staggered tracer, but typically, again, for the team leader, if they're a designated control officer. The idea is to load up magazines, solid tracer top to bottom. And at a given point in a contact, if a stream of tracer is directed into an area, all fires turn and shoot a designated number of rounds into that area. It could be dump a mag. depending on the SOP, depending on what the SOP has standardized for the unit. It's also a matter of ammunition availability and consumption, remember that. But it can also be all fires here, and each man who sees the stream of tracers turns and dumps five rounds automatically into that contact area. Now, the purpose for this can be saturation fire on a target of opportunity, or it can be on a critical target that is a significant threat. And the idea is that once the trace stream is identified, all the different interlocking fires engage from many different oblique angles, which means that it's less likely that the objective is going to be able to take effective cover. This could be a squad gunner that's identified. This could be a marksman slash a sniper, as everybody likes to call them. It could be a designated marksman on the other side that's identified because of the equipment, which will be standard for those units. It can also be a counterpart officer or radio communications. Whatever it is, it doesn't make any difference. When the stream fire is identified, when in other words it's observed, all parties observe point of contact. engage with five rounds, ten rounds, or maybe a whole magazine depending upon what SOP is. So in other words, you're firing to your front, bang, bang, bang, bang. You see the stream, you immediately turn 12345. Then you turn back on your area of control in front of you or to the oblique, depending on how you set up your defense and whether or not you have indirect fire interlocking support, traditional. And you go back to your area front and continue to sustain fire as targets of opportunity arise. If you see another stream, once again, everybody turns. And even if you're only on the last few rounds of your magazine, you expand it, you drop your mag, reintroduce a mag. And you may cap off with two or three more rounds to make it consistent if the objective is to put five rounds down range on the target. It doesn't have to be all at once, but remember it's a lot tougher to dodge a bullet when the bullets are coming in from an arc of about say 60 to 80 degrees. That means almost like interlocking crossfire and the perfect perpendicular type of engagement that you would see in an ambush or in this case mobility defense. It is a simple process because what you don't promise possibly running out of tracers. In other words, you know, there's nothing that's unlimited in the inventory. What it also means is that tracers are prioritized for the test. Now you may change this up because eventually if somebody survives what you're doing, they're going to figure out what you're up to. So there are tricks to the trade. The other use the idea is to use three round burst, three round tracer rather than a stream tracer attack. Different ideas including also dumping a pyrotechnic onto the target area that can be identified for all parties. Everybody sees the flare when they do all fires for effect on that position. All squad gunners, riflemen, grenadiers, everybody. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, and back to your targets, the targets to your front. In fact, it should be just that quick, turn, fire, engage, and then return and initiate contact fire to your front or to your oblique again, depending on your area of control. Another thing here I just mentioned was pyrotechnics is dropping pyrotechnics into an area of interest does two things. Number one marks the point, but also creates a hell of a undesirable distraction if it's literally right in the foxhole or fighting position of an aggressor. At night, illumination of that type helps to create shadow silhouette targets. And remember, shoot at the base of the shadow. Shoot at the base of the shadow. That is point of origin interlocking slash intersecting point of contact. So dumping flares onto the ground in front of your position, but behind an aggressor or near an aggressor will help you to very quickly identify in the situation where you may not have command of extensive night vision. Turn the nighttime in today, but turn it in today selectively under your control with designated NCOs or officers. Controlling the illumination to work up and down the line of contact. So ideas not just complaining about the problems. How do we do? Well, we're gonna mildew sir. What do you think we're gonna do? Now in addition to that Oh, and by the way, yes now the question is hold on here Well, some weapons don't have tracers. So you can't get tracers for so guess what? They're probably not gonna be the weapons You'll be using for this this particular mission This is why certain weapons are prioritized for specific tasks And this is why a combined arms team in small arms weapon systems is especially critical. 9 millimeter tracer is very, very likely to be discovered. So guess what? In good quantities, it may be that you'll have to switch over in order for you to be able to commit to a particular task. May have to switch to another weapon or carry another committed weapon for the purpose of inaudible transmission of information. And Tracer Stringfire does that. Now, another thing that I had a lot of questions about last week, not this week, was when we were talking about specialist ammunition, and we kind of mentioned about the armor-piercing incendiary tracer. Which is a Russian thing by the way. If you're gonna do it, do make it do everything. Well the Russians did and that was typically their single specialized round. It's not the only one but it was the primary specialized round that was in the Russian inventory for both ground infantry operations and air-to-air attack. Armor, piercing, incendiary tracer. Now what this means is it has a trace element. But when it makes contact, it has an AP with a with a frangible slash a incendiary core, an explosive charge that is highly obviously chemical flammable. And the purpose behind this is to start fires. Damage equipment start fires. And the AP of course is plowing through whatever is resisting and allowing for the trace and the incendiary to do their job. Tracer will light up a fuel tank just as nicely as incendiary will. However, incendiary really is impressive because of its ability to as a squib to distribute the burn element much more efficiently over a larger area and create a more effective fuel air mix when it does. This of course creates a standard reactive effect and And of course the sound doesn't get you until after the explosion. So it kind of always looks weird where you see the eruption and then, wow, that's pretty impressive. But it's a ways out. Yes, it is in order for the sound to take that long. Yeah, it was a ways out. The big thing here again is that there isn't as much of a variety and whatever you do have, we don't shoot AP30-06, we don't shoot tracer of 30-06, we don't shoot incendiary 30-06 or tracer incendiary 308, hang on to them. There is a ton of SKS stripper clip AP ammunition out there, keep it in reserve. For the nematodes, the hemorrhoids, the robotoids, and all the other, you know, mechanicals we might run into, it's gonna be especially useful. Don't forget that again, also, everybody's modern warfare, you're not dealing with 90-pound soaking wet Vietnamese. There's more body armor out there. You're going to have to look at the probability if you don't snag them in the crotch the way we planned. You're probably gonna hit something that's plate up above and or armor somewhere. So we wanna try and chew through the hard shell to the soft chewy, you know, Tootsie Roll Center. And that means that the specialized rounds need to be held and reserved. And you need to husband them, you need to manage them. Okay, we have the brains, we have the wherewithal. Ball ammunition is devastating enough as it is, has good penetration. If it's 30 out of 6, 7.62 by 51 NATO. If it's 7.62x54R, any of the big main battle rifle calibers, don't care which one it is, 303, 8 millimeter, they're gonna plow just as a ball round. In fact, grossly overpowered. I loved when they tried to get snobbish about this years ago. They were the idiots sticks in like guns and ammo actually said that. Well, if you want the grossly overpowered 30-06, me over here, yeah, I want the grossly overpowered 30-06, so who are you? Me, yeah, I'll take yours too. You don't want yours? I'll take yours. Oh, you won't give me yours. Oh, so why are we making that stupid statement? So anyway, grossly overpowered. There is no such thing. One of the most important things now is that we are looking at mechanicals. As in, you know, let's say that we're supposed to get caught flat-footed that, oh, they're gonna have robotoids and nematodes and hemorrhoids and all kinds of stuff. Well, if they do, then if you have that bigger, grossly overpowered round, it's more likely it's going to do a lot more van damage when the time comes. So again, save the AP, save the main battle rifles, and don't spray and pray with them to deal with specific threats. Okay? Military ball ammunition and rifle has a tremendous penetrating potential with most organic areas. Cement, sandbags and other things do a good job of slowing down or stopping. Trees, not so much, beware. Although any cover is better than no cover and you always take cover first before you return fire. Take cover, take cover and take cover. And by the way, take cover. Find a piece of real estate to put between you or a piece of material and put it between you and whatever's out there. It may not stop everything, but maybe it stops most and your body armor does the difference. You see what I mean? And with that other object in the way, the thing that was gonna tear through, you might only stop with that first plate and that's it. So again, prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. It is very important that you understand, take cover. Another thing about the specialized rounds is do, if you're carrying the ammunition, Deregular maintenance, this is where cotton cloth and inspecting your ammunition is an important thing. I love Mr. Ziploc bag for 99.99% of everything we're carrying in the field. It is a miracle tool. It is something that you need to take advantage of. We are not going to see any great weather. We are still gonna see moisture every season. And H2O, Oxygen kills and water of course does a great job of commuting the oxygen to where it needs to be to create oxidation. Okay, another thing when it comes to I was talking about this yesterday and somebody asked a question you know like magazine caps yeah well they made most most modern rifles if they're military now most recently you're not seeing as many of them but yes they made originally World War two They started doing this with the carbine, but they did also do this with the BAR. They made a BAR magazine cap to keep dust out of the magazine. Now, they were used in Africa, we know that, and it would make sense because that was the sandy environment of, you know, North Africa, Tunisia. They were, in some cases, real rubber, which means a lot of them didn't survive, in that case. The polymers, so the early polymers that were used, the plastics, which were malleable, they were soft. They were still pretty coarse, pretty tough, and because of the nature of the material, whatever they were doing to figure out how to make it, they made them typically a little heavier than we would probably today, which is a good thing considering what they needed to do. Immediately when the carbine came out, carbine magazine caps were available. You see them though extensively used in Korea, interestingly enough. They were still very much in service in Korea. They started using them in Vietnam, again, forgive me, World War II. But in Korea, you will see a lot of combat footage. where the guys are pulling magazines out and flicking. There's a little tag on the front of the magazine with these caps, where you take your thumb and flip it underneath them, flick them off, and then stuff the magazine into the magazine well. Yes, they did make them for the AR-15 and yes, they did make some for the M14. In both cases, purely a matter of where you might be at a happenstance time during Vietnam, they did both mag caps and they did, which you've probably seen these, there's still billions of them laying around. They were vinyl magazine bags. They were just big enough to hold one mag, but again, once you stuffed them into these bags, You couldn't fit as many into the mag pouches because this bag was a little oversized. Now it was designed in theory to be torn. It had a zinc or lead. I'm not sure which because it's a very malleable metal, but it had a malleable metal fold wrap around kind of lock system like a tape, like a thin narrow but thick tape, almost like a ribbon. And that was designed to help seal the system up and lock it in place so that when you wanted to use it, it was a quick rip and drop the plastic, insert the mag and away you go. But it was a little more fumbling. Whereas the magazine caps that were made, basically it's the same design, same material, just the format for the particular magazine would be different, obviously size wise. Do they work? Well, they're still out there and I think even I think magpul is making a variant I believe they are maybe wrong But I have seen and you may have noticed that for instance a lot of these new mags that are out there. They've offered Mag caps for the tops of the mags even those relatively inexpensive magazines the Second Amendment mags that we picked up some of those came with magazine caps And it does keep a lot of the clunky, lunky stuff, bigger chunks of stuff out of the magazine, is out of the top feed mechanism of the magazine, first rounds. And it is a serviceable item, it works. It's just another thing though to get away, just something to take into consideration. So prepping your mags might, prepping your mags depending on whether or not you have a known contact situation coming up would probably be about your part of your math formula. Dismounting the mag caps if you know you're gonna be using your combat load would be another step or something that you don't have to think about when the time comes. It's not does it can be negated from the it's another step you don't have to take which is good mentally when you're in a Crisis situation a firefight contact situation or at the bottom of the hour It's probably sitting there with his finger on the trigger as a matter of fact and it is weapons Wednesday In our valleys there is danger, and there's danger in our hills. Oh, here you're not just slinging off the fields, oh wild and free. But soon you'll know the ringing of the rifle from the tree. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle. In our hands, the truth, no choice, oh. He may ride a goodly speed, he may know us during the master. He'll forward march with speed, but you'll learn the facts much faster when you meet our mountain boys. And the leader just starts glad you make what little noise and always hits the mark. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands he will prove no strife. Back across the briney water, that giddy must come, as well as the tooth of slaughter. But if we the job must do, then the sooner it is begun. If Lyndon's bigger, hold the butt through, the quicker it will be done. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle. In our hands, no spoon, no trifle. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle. In our hands, no spoon, no trifle. is a beautiful weapons Wednesday and Ed's right there with his finger on the trigger. So Ed, I'll tell you what, let's throw another piece of music into the inventory here. Keep your rifle by your side, elder on tyrant for everyone. And part of the songs of the Second Civil War. And for everybody again, keep your rifle by your side, but make sure your pistols are close at hand too. And keep your powder dry. Man, you got one pistol in each hand, blow the muscle. Here we go. Push the smoke off that by the way again, don't forget revolvers Hunters Lodge has had some pretty interesting deals on Smith and Wesson model pens I am fascinated how many were they dug them up. I don't know they could be Israeli inventory, but they could also be some other foreign nation and These are all appear to be, in some cases, 5 inch victory model K-frames. Here we go, Elder Untieren. For this I won't need pay when we take a stand No we must protect our land Keep your rifle by your side They'll have our children in their sights So stand guard in every pass from note to sound We may can shout they will never push us out Keep your rifle by your side Singing no lo- They just won't stay away, singin' But for this I won't need pay when we take a stand No, we must protect our lands Keep your rifle by your sub tanks Cause they've got funding from the banks But we won't fall as long as we can fight So they'll go on and say we hate But they won't get past the gate Keep your rifle by your sub, singin' Won't stay away Singing, oh lord, for this I won't need pay when we take a stand No, we must protect our lands Keep your rifle size in the east From the Great Plains to Tennessee They help us hold with all that we do need Just comes another way from Red Sand, Fran or Burn, LA Keep your rifle by your side Singing, oh lord, they just won't stay awake Singing, For this I won't need pay when I see their face. No, I must protect my place. Keep my ride all by my side. Singing, I just won't stay away. Singing, no, Lord this I won't need pay when I see their face. No, I must protect my place. Keep my ride by my side. It's pretty obvious. I do not need to get paid for this task. For this I won't need pay. Totally right. be fighting for our freedom and it will be a pleasure to do so. All of them are here. I've already had some people pick them up. This is, of course, a one of a kind item for the Raiders, which is why we're gonna play this next song coming up here. Riding a raid for all of our friends out there. If you're a second Raider, we have a very special item now complete. Makes our heraldry more apropos for our militia unit. One of a kind, if you ain't wearing it, you ain't us. Well unless you lost it you better not have done that it's kind of like a pass coin you should know better. And also you're listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.org.com. We'll be right back. Hey Mark. When the time comes. That video, so you're talking about one that was on YouTube. I found it, it just I was like oh that must be the gun Mark's talking about and I can see it in big giant screen TV. It says five pounds ten ounces, no mag. No mag. Interesting. Well, if you notice it in the pot. No mag as far as the weight, I'm assuming that means it. Right, no mag in it. Yeah, that's what it comes with. But it's all polymer. That's a great weight. The lower the trigger, the buffer tube, the upper receiver, the forward hand guard, the rails. It's all polymer. There's metal barrel reinforcements for inserts for pins. buffer tube, springs, bolt catch, that's the steel. The rest of it's all plastic, polymer plastic. Yeah, the interesting thing about this is again, like I said, this is a reinvention, but it is and isn't. There are things that they've done differently since originally the weapon was first, a weapon of that type was first produced 30 years ago. And government looked at this way before, way back during Vietnam, but because aluminum was the favored material at the time. Alcoa aluminum had its teeth on the butt cheek of the taxpayer. And so it didn't seem to make sense to go to polymer because alliuminium was at its zenith. Aircraft production and all the other elements of industries that were already established is what they turned to. And so we see a relatively lightweight, very lightweight weapon, seven pounds for the M16A1. But imagine if you had taken some of what they had done and they've demonstrated right here and applied that to the weapons at an earlier point would have changed a lot of history. But it's an interesting idea that works. We know it works. This is not a spring chicken thing. It's not like all they just discovered. That's when it's really stupid. No, it's been around for quite some time. This idea is sound. The design is sound. In fact, with Plum Crazy, you might recall they're in Gen 2 already. The things that they changed and corrected or just added for the sake of making it that much stronger because they saw issues it could develop. Companies preempt a problem if they're smart and they never have a problem. If they have to make a second model, they will identify it, but that doesn't mean they had a problem with the other one. It just means that they've made choices based upon their initial production reaction once a product is deployed. Smart companies do that. The big thing here is- I want to work for Mark. Where you get to shoot guns today and shoot to failure, you know? How many did you run through today? Oh, 6,000. Bang, bang, bang, bang. And it just kept working. So I just guess I'll have to come back tomorrow and do it again. Do some more. Exactly. Now, the big thing here is that what we're talking about is the it's the ATA, yeah, ATA Alpha Max, M-A-X-X. It is a 5.56 all-polymer gun at about five pounds, five and a half pounds, five and a half, five pounds, 10 ounces, the numbers we've got. That makes this a very light firearm. And as I've said, for pilots, for air crewmen, a gun to grab and throw in the pickup truck with the truck driver who's running supplies or running an ambulance or whatever. This is a perfect grab and stash gun, not very heavy, enough to get you out of trouble, takes all the standard government magazines, takes government ammo. Nothing to write home about, very straightforward weapon system. But the big thing is the weight. If you're older and you're listening and you're looking, you're not gonna be doing any John Wick stuff in the field. What you're gonna be doing is you'll be in a support role or you're gonna be in an area that still needs to be secured. This provides you with a comparable weapon capability to anything you're probably gonna face. 5.56 rifle, 16 inch barrel. It does what it's supposed to do, and it will get you out of trouble, get you at least secure you, and then allow for other support to show up and to follow up and neutralize the problem. But it puts you on an equal footing with anybody you probably have with an infantry weapon facing you. So again, that's the ATI Alpha Max, price as low as $299 on sale. 325 is what we've been seeing, 330 right around there seems to be the average. And yes, it goes up to $400 depending on who's selling it. Now, there are variants on this gun. I think there's at least two that we know of. So, I mean, come on guys, how many different variations on the AR-15 exist just in the standard rifle? So this particular company is, I'm sure played with the design a little bit. It's not like it's brand brand new. It actually has been out for a little while, but it just one of those things that kind of slid under the radar for us. But it fits that niche to be that light a weapon makes it a very valuable tool. Now another consideration is if you actually could acquire it for 300 or less, it's not a big deal to bury a gun like this. And again, being all polymer, there's far less, not completely polymer. but all of the components being built the way that they are. This could be put away with a lot less concern. Now I would do this, if you take a look at the imagery in the video, it's cheapest AR-15 at symbol, dollar sign 299 dash what to expect from ATI alpha max question mark. One more time, it's cheapest AR-15 at symbol, dollar sign 299 dash what to expect from ATI Alpha Max. Now ATI is the company that also has done a bunch of the look-alike 22s. In fact, they've made quite a few over the years. I don't know this, I noticed they last year they were into a 9 millimeter gun also, so this is a 5.56 rifle. And in both cases, it's taking advantage of their experience with molding and the engineer group that they have, and they've acted accordingly. Now, they're not reinventing something new. They're just kind of reinventing an idea that's actually been around for 30 years officially, and longer probably unofficially. And it's a good solution. What kind of optics would I put on it? Whatever you choose in a short low, something simple, nothing fancy. I would minimize, I don't even want a flashlight on the weapon. Don't want a flashlight, don't want a laser. It's not for that purpose. That's not its mission. It's designed to stay out of the way until it's needed. It's like what they did with the artillery units. Artillery is typically out of threat, beyond the threat environment for infantry. And yet, traditionally, way before we had the modern arms we have, Artillery units are always issued a carabiner type weapon, something that was short, it was out of the way, less cumbersome. It made it viable for you to keep it with you. But if all of a sudden you were set upon by raiders, dragoons, cavalry raiders, take your pick, then you had the ability to fight at close quarters. So all of a sudden your cannon cockers became infantrymen. That's the idea here, is this is something that would work in that vein. As light as it is, it's also so unencumbersome, it's so less cumbersome, let's put it that way, that you won't have a problem carrying it. Personally, a weapon like this, I could see strapping another one on the side of a backpack. And the reason is I have a complete spare weapon for only five pounds, five and a half pounds. That's kind of handy. You know what I mean? Because if something happens, it's like, well, you could carry another handgun or you could carry more mags. I'm gonna carry more mags anyway. One thing about magazines, guys, you'll wish you had more. You can be thinking you're carrying too much and that you're overburdened. And in less than a few minutes, you'll wish you had a lot more. Always keep that in mind. One thing about magazine and magazine pouches, like I said, carry these add-ons. When you start burning up mags, you use up your carry-ons and dump the baggage, you dump the extras. Then you go to your core combat load. The other reason for carrying the baggage type magazine pouches, and you can carry the spare weapon with this, in organizing a defense in the field, though it's difficult to do until after you've had contact and can strip from either friendly casualties or enemy dead. You always want about 10% over in auxiliary small arms to have ready to use. Why? Well, if you set up a defense in depth, in many cases, you've seen a million variations in these more modern movies that are quite realistic in this respect, is you get blown off your feet and the concussion moves you sideways. Doesn't kill you, but stuns you really good. You have enough wherewithal to pick your ass up, your weapon can't be found, but now beat feet and get yourself to the rear with the rest of your allies and regroup. In a defense in depth, this is a very likely situation. Also remember, guns get shot, just like people, guns get shot. So having a number of auxiliary weapons already available, You could even make up a battle pack reserve kit that could be brought in if a unit was say moving into an area and then deploy the weapons, you know, the officer in charge or the senior NCO could deploy the weapons at key points in the second, third or fourth line of defense, especially if you're establishing what is a shallow, unfixed forward first line. You fight, you fall back under cover of terrain, move to your second positions, which are dispersed and each one is random. You fire again, you hold for so long, they give the signal or there's a timer. In other words, you only stay here for five minutes. Usually there'd be some kind of signal that's innocuous, the enemy wouldn't recognize. Flares, random flares, and then you fall back to your third line of defense. Now, this is cascading towards what you're doing is falling back to work under the umbrella of your support weapons. And this is progressive attrition of the enemy as a defender. You may also use what we call a barn door trap or a fly trap in different ways where you move back, move back. And then instead of falling back, you barn door or move perpendicular to your travel of retreat, your route of retreat. And the enemy continues to assume that you've performed the same action. And what you literally do is create a mobile L-type ambush in the defense. Upon making contact and utilizing this power, the L, the perpendicular L that is out in front of the defensive line, the fourth tier, for instance, the whole column fires, throws smoke, falls back on itself straight into the line. disperses left and right to support the line and the fourth tier of defense continues strengthened as each of these elements fall back and as the heavier weapons continue to engage from their maximum range as the enemy moves into the kill zone. So again, rather than just standing there and throwing rocks and, well, hopefully grenades, but anything you got, harsh language, and rocks may be all you got, but instead if you have these auxiliary weapons in place and pre-deployed, then you're able to go to recover and continue the fight. You also do the same thing with spare ammunition. In a situation like this, all those extra bags of ammo we do, magazines, we talk about utilizing the bandolier type system. When we move forward, once we've established this defense in depth, the ammunition that we have that we carried in gets left in one of the first, second, or third tier, well, forgive me, second, third, or fourth tier defensive lines, because you're gonna be burning and using up magazines. So this is a method for you to automatically employ what you're able to deploy. in a very sensible fashion, but on a wide scale, each individual being able to provide resources to help develop this defense. And needless to say, you'll be stripping enemy dead. You also have allied dead and allied casualties. If a casualty is going to the rear, he will maintain control of his weapon and a limited amount of his combat load. But whatever can be taken, if it is needed, it will be transferred over to the operating unit that's still in place. But the individual will not lose control of his firearm, of his personal weapon, unless there is a distress situation and it has to be pressed into service. Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. These are all things you need to teach your people, need to be focusing on now to understand and have, you know, in between the years on the lumberyard, some semblance of an idea of how to employ what you have available. Another thing here real quick, somebody asked me, well, do you say machine gun links? Yep, every one I can find. At a yard sale, I didn't expect to see it, but I ran into two pillow bags, about a gallon each of M60 machine gun links. Got them for basically a dollar. I think it was a dollar for one bag and 50 cents for the other. Are they pretty? No, they've been laying around somewhere, but they're more than serviceable enough. And again, every time that we collect four or five thousand links like that or several thousand, depending on what you find laying around, there's a lot of this stuff out there. Collect it and route it. Now, on the other hand, I don't move it all away because it's one of those items that's gonna become pretty handy if somebody needs to link up a whole lot of 308 because you got a hog or a mag 58 or something like an MG 53 or whatever, or an MG 58. the other MG 58, not to be confused with the MAG 58. There's a number of guns out there that are laying all over the countryside and a lot of them use the same linkage. Now in the case of the last two I mentioned, they're taking a German non disintegrating link. And I think the 58 really there's only a variation of small working parts and it's not critical to the mechanism. Anyway, we're at the top. For everybody out there, think ahead. Do what you can to work with your people during a training day to actually review the subjects we're talking about right here. Demonstrate with the sand board a defense in depth, a flexible mobile defense in depth. This is one of the most critical aspects of entriting the aggressor in the field when they try to come out after the guns. First we fix them, then we fight them, and then we destroy them. God bless, Republic. Thank you to the B.C.Q. 6.1, 6.0, regular survey, and the Liberty stream right now continue.
