it means the parts you can't 3d print will work with minimal fuss and you have a huge selection of them for a weapon with such giant aftermarket support.

The slide is part of a kit you can buy which is the most distinctive part of the pistol's design. In America only the receiver is the actual firearm, everything else can be ordered by mail, doesn't have serial numbers, etc etc.

A guy in the video though printed a glock receiver with testicles hanging off the trigger guard, so that's an option

you might want to forget about forgotten weapons, ian has been going out of his way to cozy up to white supremacists and transphobes over the last several months to a degree that can't be dismissed solely as "he has to deal with these jerks because they're the ones with the cool gear".

Its always the way I think; I watched a few FW videos and enjoyed them well enough for a non-gun-haver, I got a recommend today for another gun man on YT who seemed a bit more brash and sweary but OK I will watch your video about the rare 50cal that was in Robocop II... Hmm OK what other gun videos has this fellow done? Ah, a visit to the range with Kyle Rittenhouse. Good, good.

Genuinely disappointing, but not surprising given that he was wearing a shirt in a range video that made reference to Selous Scouts at one point. It didn't directly call them out, but it was their logo and I thought "someone like Ian really should know what that means". Well, maybe he did

so i've never heard of the selous scouts, i googled them. read some of the wikipedia page, now i know, etc etc etc

what floored me was all the pages - all the results i saw from a google search other than wikipedia - praising how "hardcore" they were and poo poo. really did not expect to see pro-rhodesia poo poo in 2023 but here we are. i knew that shitbirds were using rhodesian camouflage as a dog whistle so i shouldn't be surprised, but

anyone that uses "rhodesia" in a non-historical context in 2023 can be pretty safely ignored i think

It was a real wake up call to me when I learned what the Cold War actually was: imperialists powers desperately beating down third world nations. All you have to say is a group is “Soviet backed” and it’s a green light for any atrocity you can imagine regardless of the actual goals of the group (like fighting for their freedom against oppressors)

i'm 99% sure it's less people getting radicalized and more people getting comfortable letting their radicalization out over time. you generally don't start a "look at these sweet guns" video channel unless you're already super hot and heavy for the NRA and friends. when the NRA is the reasonable representative for a hobby, poo poo has already gone way off the rails. you'll find some fairly normal people in heavily hunting-focused groups (though even that isn't super common) but as soon as the firearm itself - and not the activities that involve firearms - becomes the focal point, you're in crazytown. _that_ step is where people get radicalized ime - from normal-rear end hunters to nutjobs

why yes i am a lifetime nra member, purchased before i hit puberty, ask me anything

and yes there exist left wing gun clubs and poo poo like that, they're generally nuts with delusions about defending their homes from whoever they're afraid of that day, too. it's "just" that they are much better people. much better insane paranoid people. i cannot imagine that someone in this camp would be comfortable exposing themselves to the standard gun nut as with a youtube channel, though, as standard gun nuts is the group the left-wing gun nut most fears

i bought a squirt pistol because i live with a bunch of bad animals, and sometimes i just want to blast them even when they're being good, because i bought this drat thing and i want to use it. i imagine owning a real gun is a lot worse, because you explicitly have to go somewhere to be able to play with your shiny toy.

yeah i love shooting nerf darts at eggy. he's really good at catching them even if they're roughly the size of his head

the only time i've ever actually handled a real gun was on an indian res (like, shooting cans at my buddy's place). it was fun but i don't think i'm a gun guy tbh, i get the appeal though
