You could completely believe he was an engineer, lawyer or doctor. This man is just a chilled out expert in his field.

@@woody40000 For sure! He could easily be mistaken for one of the drafters of this rifle.

@@seanmcgloin8378 He did say that he was from Ireland. haha. But yeah, it took me a second of him talking to catch his accent before he confirmed where he was from.

@@solhays yeah when they started getting into the specs of the gun, up until then he almost had a newfie/irish thing going on lol

This rifle is what happens if you don't ask paper tigers but people who are actually experienced and know what saved their asses multiple times already.

Truest most underrated comment

You forgot that anyone can make a cheeseburger and apply for adaptation ,then the best and cheapest(or sometimes most expensive senator's friend )goes trough trial and in 2-3 months your cheeseburger becomes M1 A1 Cheeseburger.Fun thing is you can outsource the production of your cheeseburger to mexico and it will still be considered american made.

@@zumbazumba1 I'll make a small correction: the cheeseburger IS the requirement, but what you described is simply a cheaper way to get the sour cream hot dog pancakes in the hands of our operators, while fucking over domestic industrial capacity (and American workers) in the end. It all turned when we bought the M249 from FN and the M9 from Beretta.

@@coyoteunclean Well outsourcing and buying guns from other countrys is nothing new to us army ,they did it long time ago before m9 and Fn ,waaay back in civil war. Sometimes other countrys have better products and design than domestic industry .Good example is bren vs bar in ww2. Thing is its not the outsourcing that fucks up domestic industry and workforce its bad management and greedy rich people.

@Baxter James man I got a million memories of dumb shit in the military that relates to it. Ya, to me it was spot on and hilarious

It's true. I said "shoot" instead and am currently being waterboarded in Guantanamo Bay.

@@DrakesdenChannel While casually sending lead out to the horizon Adam & Eve got kicked out of Eden because some snake told her "Nah girl, just whisper 'ok' and tap him on the shoulder. It's fine." That angered god. Rightfully.

Interestingly, the reason they do that is because the spotter is giving a wind call. The wind can change so fast, thus changing the shot, the send-it call is to make sure the shooter gets the shot of straight off the wind call. Learned that last week from Kevin in a long range training course. Great dude

From the moment he started saying "with how much you know about the gun," or however it went, you could have knocked him out and that smirk would have remained. HILARIOUS! He should have manned up and asked to go Tip to Butt together.

No one is running in Cod lol. Its a sad campfest.

The one that annoys me is accuracy tests where you know they aren't a decent shot. Dont have the rear supported or some other janky shooting position. Then they say it cant hold MOA.

Check the Fieldcraft Survival podcast, there's an episode about him. He also hosts a few of the FCS podcasts, including one with Todd Hodnett, and often drops nuggets of info about USASOC/force mod/SOF etc.

yes please

😂😂

hOw Y0u D0 dAt!?

Hotel? Trivago

It's better when there's a delay between impact and *CLANG*

What's actually cooler is when you realize the sound comes is after the successful hit because it's slower than the round. Even downrange you don't hear the report till after the round reaches the target .

Just because you hated doing paperwork doesn't mean its worse than being in a actual force on force situation. Get over yourself.

@@matthouston8411 You seem upset

I would put my tip to that rifle's butt! 🤤😁

esp the golden hour shots take so much effort!

He missed his chance to Ghost a gun with an operator for real

2.5# fixed.

I shot a bit of competition .22lr in college and was using an 8 oz trigger break. Joined the army and first time at the range with a M-16A1 I got in the foxhole and we were cleared to fire and my weapon wouldn't fire... well, I just did not grasp the concept of an 8 pound trigger draw... did fine after my drill seargent grabbed my weapon and rattled off a few shots and politely (not really) commented that there was nothing wrong with the weapon :) Also didn't appreciate when I asked "Where do you want me to shoot the targets?" I was used to putting multiple rounds through the same hole at 100 feet with iron sights and the idea of 'just' hitting a man sized target was not a challenge until you got out past 300 yards.

Glad you enjoyed it!

@@Isometrix116 lol

@@jeffreyroot6300 really? Huh...that's cool though

@@daconqueror101 It most certainly does. I have seen Aussie's, Brit's and even Russian's. I have a Kazakhstani kid now working for me in my division, he was in the Army there for 3 years. I had a Russian guy about 20 years ago on my boat crew, he wasn't military in Russia but he had been in the federal police. Another guy in our boat crew at one point not too long after that was formerly a Royal Marine. He couldn't pass selection for SAS or SBS so he came to us. Most often you will find foreign ex-mil types in the US military in linguist roles. I am not talking about interpreters, these guys are in the US military they aren't local contractors being paid to translate. One of the guys on Neptune Spear that was a CIA/SAD guy was actually born in Iraq. He was a bedouin that fought against Hussein as a 13 year kid.

Tyler Hendrix then he screams “We’ll never accept the rule of the English” and proceeds to pound a bottle of whiskey. Crazy Irish, God bless ‘em.

If only every other program ran like that...

Exactly!

The Navy could certainly learn a lot from that process! Also, keep Congress out of determining the specs!

Seems like a great system. Hope the aftermarket makes some Mods for it. 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. .375 CT

Better yet, what was wrong with the M110 and M24? This rifle is a waste of time and money

I remember aiming 4 ft over the top of a crow with my 22LR that was about 200 yards out at the top of a balsam tree. I was excited when I actually got him.

Every time. Then it goes out for a function check and barrel seasoning, then in the closet until I am saved for a scope thats worthy. Happened 4 times already, and about to happen again when some more stuff shows up on the doorstep. It's a way of life hahaha

Ouch

I bought 53k rounds of ammo and too many guns with no more money for scopes

@@ericpettyfishing If you have to "season" your barrel you already fucked up.

Thank you

You should listen to his story on Mike Drop, podcast.

Kevin Owens did you ever visit the BB Sennybridge or Belize... watched you on the Mike Drop podcast and was an instant fan... it was extremely interesting getting your personal (first hand experience) view on Ireland... I think that particular segment of the podcast should be played to all UK forces and the civilian population... all the best

I like Irish ladies. So much fun and humor.

He will have the time on his hands, he will probably do just that.

Agreed!!

Sig isnt a SOF program of record. That was a big army fiasco. The big army is incredibly incompetent

The irony is that all that work specifying what they wanted has been around for years. I played with a similar model 8 or 9 years ago. Desert Tech has been doing this for years too.

@@patrickjohnson3862 Yes, sir -- having to get specific and work through a process has been around for centuries, ever since the first human tried sharing his/her idea with another, or after the first human put one rock on top of another, or the frst time someone said, "Wait! We need to bound the constraints before you do it again. Just because you survived the first time, doesn't mean you will survive the second time." The Romans would test their new bridges by putting the engineer who worked on it and his family under the bridge during the first test crossing the bridge. Consequently, only successful engineers went on with a healthy career/life. However, I wanted to recognize and applaud Mr. Owens' experience and success having to go through such a grueling process because, Lord knows, I would shoot my self before the end of the first day if I was forced to go through the process of design and procurement of anything for the military/government. I have a friend who did the exact same kind of work as Mr. Owens while also serving in the military... just listening to the stories can drain the life out of me. LOL. Mr. Owens did a great job... and lived to tell about it!

But there is a “me.” That’s my quote, by the way.

The Engineer Shooter fancy seeing you here

that is a very obscure reference XD

Lmfao 😂 why’d you have to do him like thatttttt

I've got nothin' else for ya!

Highly recommend watching his interview with Mike Ritland.

you can tell he is proud of doing that

Wonder how long he was an E-1 Makes me think of the movies of Sgt York's first time on the range

I'd say he had a lot of fun though, and whilst the sergeants would absolutely give you truckloads of shit ("Look at Irish here thinking he's all that!") they'd have a LOT of respect for anyone willing to go through boot camp and serve again.

Listen to the many podcasts of him now, they realized during basic that he had actual operational experience. He didn't get special treatment per se but he wasn't just a stock PFC
