He's in the middle of a string of fire and I'm trying to figure out if that's Sinestral Rifleman or not...speaks good to the supressor/ammo combo

Was that Russell on the second stage?

@@rollastudent I'm about 90% sure.

Russell educating the plebs.

"i'm going to shoot a 1917 Enfield, because i'm retarded" lol

Oh that's what the orange ring was from the rifle.

No, from the pistol. Interestingly, the WW2-era 5"/38 gun used by the US Navy on just about everything they could get to float threw a similar, albeit much larger, flame ring when it fired.

"I love it when the gun community comes together." - Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith

Well, I'm guessing that's due to the camera's adjusting of the mic sensitivity.

@@DualDesertEagle I would guess so. Standing to the side of that brake on the .50 Beowulf AR was brutal.

the sound of the beowulf hitting dirt berm was as loud as many of the steel plates I've heard here

Yeah it's almost impossible to capture it properly while making it in any way useful for KZfaq. You'd need to set the microphone gain so that the Beowulf barely clips the mic to capture the loudness, and that would make almost anything else completely inaudible.

@@jubuttib You would need at least three microphones with different sensitivities. One for the loud gun, one for the quiet gun and one for the surroundings.

Hitting the target was so much louder than the fire. Reminded me of the movie "The Jerk" when Steve Martin is looking at his oil can display and they start sprouting holes and leaking. Steve Martin starts laughing telling his boss come look at this we have some defective cans they keep springing leaks.

@@Wallyworld30 "He hates these cans!"

That's why the H&K Mk23 prototypes actually had a lockable slide that could stop the action from cycling!

@@AshleyPomeroy given how bad he was missing to start, it seemed that way.

Ian's staple gun got the job done

At first I thought he edited the video with a drawn outline to highlight something for us to see but nope.

​@@StephenRWilliams Thats exactly what I thought!

Oooo

I thought I was seeing things. Ok we both saw them...lol

I handload some Ruger Only 45 Colt that does the same thing out of my 4” Redhawk. I’m a pretty fair pistol shot but it is admittedly hard not to flinch when they’re getting that spicy.

This comment made me think of a kinda interesting match rule. The sum of the calibres of your rifle and pistol cannot exceed a certain number

@@SuitsTheRedcoat or must exceed a certain number

@@disco_falcon1895 The easiest would be the 3/4", and it would be filled by people running .45 and .30. The only meaningful way for the minimum caliber, would be smaller than .578, which would rule out the standard .223 and 9mm pairing (if your goal was to force people to use at least 1 non-standard caliber). This would only serve to make .30 Super Carry more popular, or see a bunch of people show up with old TT-33s and CZ-52s. Course, the problem with either of these rules, is that it would severely limit the number of people who actually participate in them. Especially if your goal is to get people to use non-standard firearms/ammunition choices. By definition it is going to make it more expensive for people, and probably a lot of competitors simply...would not have firearms to make the pairings. And those who do, fewer are going to be willing to subject their collector piece, or expensive range toy, to the wear/tear/damage potential of a ACM.

@@dposcuroI’d rock my 22TCM 1911 and my tavor to just be a weirdo

Clearing a plate rack with a .50ae desert eagle is one of the most fun things I've ever done with a gun. Most of the time you hit them and see them fall, but .50ae knocks them down faster than I could process it. Pull the trigger, plate just isn't there anymore. Every once in a while one of the others would bounce high enough to reset.

Yeah, it made me think it there a spot on the rack you could strike that would drop all six plates at once or just knock the rack over and count that as all six being flipped.

No kill like overkill. XD

What really did it for me is the huge clouds of dust flying off the entire rack each time (as opposed to the little puff coming off each plate as Ian hit them).

@@kentvesser9484 I have seen that before. Hit hard enough that another plate went down.

I've just spend a while trying to freeze-frame to figure out what that circle was wow

It can and made what???

@@Morbpious The circles you see instead of a full fireball are actually rings of fire! Something about the specific operation of the desert eagle and its cartridge. Like if you search up "desert eagle fire ring" there's cool footage of it.

WHAT!?

@@praharin HE SAID "IF THE GUN...."

*Jam assist.

Yep :)

@@ForgottenWeapons If only there were some device you could of had on your upper to assist the bolt in going forward… Sorry, Ian. I had to make the joke.

@@TonyTheGoon Perhaps some sort of battery aid, hmm?

Replace the period in your timestamp with one of these (:), and it'll work as a link.

I'm just picturing the Ace Ventura scene where Ace opens and closes the balcony door :D

I heard Grover in my head as I was reading that.

@@TimPimentel3006 then my work here is done. 👍😀

I am not being controversial here but how much does each round cost?

@@Angelum_Band Like Tom basically said in the video, it costs a bit too much to be practical but worth every penny of fun you have with it. But if you want an exact answer, it can cost anything from $1-3 per round from what I've seen.

@@bebop_557 $3 is the cheapest I've seen in a box of 20.

@@Angelum_Band Try buying in bulk, ammo is usually cheaper that way. And you can never have too much of it lol

@@Angelum_Band If you are getting a meme round it's a good idea to reload/cast. With casting it costs $.32/rnd for 450gr

Diametrically opposed schools of thought lmao

@@imk2007 I don't want anyone to know, versus I want the neighbors in the next town calling the cops?

If he is attacked by a rabid house then he certainly has the gun for it.

That pistol at night? I'm going to splinter cell something chronic. You could take out 5 or 6 dudes before they figure out where you are

when he used barricade as a rest it almost destroyed the prop haha

It happens 3 times while the DEagle is firing... are you saying that is actually the gun itself and not an edit of some kind? If so, that's kind of insane to see.

@@RayearthIX Hot and fast powder gas interacting with the atmosphere can do funky things.

@@RayearthIX The Deagle is notorious for the ring of fire it produces.

Was going to comment the same thing. It's a fireball of a muzzle flash. absolutely insane.

Damn, for real? I didn't have to look carefully, it was so noticeable I thought it was added in post to highlight something, like a bullet in flight. But now I rewatched it and it's incredible.

Yeah it's probable some compression applied to the audio signal. It boosts quiet stuff and lowers louder stuff. (Different thing than compression of a computer file! That just shrinks the size of the file.)

All I'm envisioning now is that scene in _RoboCop_ where everyone at the police pistol range stops what they're doing because Murphy has just opened up with a machine pistol. :)

That gun costs two bucks, every time you fire it.

Guilty...

I was having that exact same thought when he was talking about the zero being off.

at first I thought it was from a greater bullet drop from subsonic and suppressed than expected, later hearing that it was missing to the right discounted that notion though

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Showing up to a match with a zeroed gun is basically cheating.

@@SuperMutie How so?

You're not kidding! Just looked at prices for .50AE... $2+ per round. Ouch, oof, my wallet.

but loud makes you feel surrounded

A lot of people think they have to "train up and get good" before they start competing(I was one of those people at first), but as long as you're safe and relatively familiar with your guns, the best way to get better at shooting is to just get out to a match and compete

is winning really that important though

@@warshipsatin8764 everybody has different goals. For many of us, the goal is to just get better, whether you're winning matches or not.

Only if his nightstand is 50-100 yards away from the targets. It hit the “self defense” range plate rack without issues. That said…”need” be damned, I’d re-zero as well. ;)

You say "Maxim is his nightstand gun", I have visions of a Russian Maxim parked on his nightstand. I pity the fool who breaks into his house and wakes him up at night. (I pity the fool who breaks into any gun-tubers house; the only thing that MAY save them is the homeowner taking time to decide which gun to blast them with!)

If only he had some sort of extant device on the gun to assist the bolt in going fully forward into battery.

@@frankholub4673 Like a charging handle? Since after a light strike/out of battery FTF you have to reset the hammer anyhow? Which if I watch back, I'm pretty sure he did the correct procedure.

@@philkensebben157 The forward assist would have enabled him to seat the round properly in the first place, before attempting to fire the gun. Upon experiencing the malfunction, yes, tap rack was the proper procedure. Different tools for different situations.

@@frankholub4673 Okay, so what you're saying is that the proper loading/firing sequence with a known working AR platform should always include pushing the forward assist? And that the forward assist shouldn't be called an assist, but a standard round seating button? If you pull the trigger once and get click, you charge the handle again. If you get click again, you run it again. If third time click, NOW you might want an assist. Of course you might also want to check your headspace just in case forcing a round into the chamber makes a big boom, instead of a little one. Forward assists aren't necessary and having to use one usually indicates problems with the firearm.

@@philkensebben157 People who are vehemently against the forward assist have an uncanny ability to hyperbolize everything surrounding it. The FA is a single tool in a toolbox, it is not necessary or useful in many situations, most even, including normal loading procedure unless the gun has weak or fouled main or mag springs that causes slight OOB like Ian experienced. But when it is useful, it's irreplaceable. Running the charging handle over and over doesn't clear fouling, it just introduces a new round into a fouled gun. Firing the gun can clear fouling. Running the handle when the extractor doesn't have positive grip on a cartridge rim induces a double feed. There is no one size fits all solution to malfunctions, you need proper evaluation and then procedure to clear. Just tap racking is dumb. Just using an FA is even dumber. Assess, and then take action based on the malfunction type. And if you hate the FA for whatever reason, nobody is forcing you to use it or buy an upper with one on it.

He has the big iron on his hip

@@JordanFlayer just about the biggest iron.

Desert Eagle unreliability is exaggerated in my experience. They do require more maintenance, need OEM mags, and good ammunition, not to mention skill to avoid limpwristing, but they work fine otherwise. Mine has only jammed once and oddly from the casing getting stuck in the chamber which I attribute more to the ammo than gun. Though I’ve seen plenty of beat to shit rental Desert Eagles that had a lot of issues.

@@gameragodzilla That's probably why they get that bad reputation. I mean I don't think I'll ever buy one, so renting one would be my only experience. But so many people probably drop them doing that...

@@arthurmoore9488 Yeah Desert Eagles are most likely to be rented because they’re not that practical to own and very expensive, but rental guns in general don’t get the best maintenance. Deagles need that to run well. It’s like a high end sports car. It’s expensive, way more powerful than any practical use needs to be, requires expensive and high end fuel, and is a maintenance hog. But damn does it put a smile on my face when I shoot it.

I just assumed some of them weren't even hit and just dived out of the way.

@@IceWolfLoki I feel exactly the same way.

Oddly enough, that was almost my first thought when Ian started shooting as well. "My paper roll cap gun I had as a kid, sounded louder than that!" 😃

I have one very similar and the cap gun is far louder.

@@prfwrx2497 a da/sa ar15.

@@prfwrx2497 maybe it’s because I don’t understand the mechanism but that sounds wayyyy more complicated than a forward assist.

Yup, it's from the subsonic velocity.

Yeah first I thought it was added in edit to mark something

That moment when reality and frame rate align.

Velocity is also way below the sound barrier.

Wonder how he’d do with the best race he could use.

Great, now I can't unsee it.

Its just a generic airsoft grade vest

Weirdly, some of them don't like showing up with a timer. ;)

@@ForgottenWeapons ooh well, shooting on 20 yard ranges daily for fun is probably not the most competetive training, so if they care alot about the scoreboard results of such a video, i can understand why 😅

@@ForgottenWeapons Leak some names

No.

It is important to note that my suppressed shooting was all done with subsonic ammo - most suppressed shooting uses normal supersonic ammo, and the supersonic crack it creates is quite loud.
