Double Tap Episode 424 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Swampfox Optics, Medical Gear Outfitters, Night Fision, RMA Defense, Mitchell Defense, XTech Tactical, and Matador Arms Welcome to Double Tap, episode 424! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! pew.deals - Dear WLS Greydon S - Do yall think Steyr will become competitive again in the future? They have done interesting things in the past (gas delay pistol, pdws, double stack/double feed pistols, early in the FCU game) but recently they have only had the Aug which is not great or really interesting to me and the M9A2, which is great ergonomically but has not optic cut options and as far as I can tell is currently out of production. Thoughts? Aaron likes to shart - I am debating between a PTR91 or a DS Arms FAL as a range toy. What would the cast pick and why? Note, I already have an ar-10. Aaron D - I was wondering if you guys have any recommendations for a small handgun storage device. I will have a son born in November and am looking to keep my weapons in a more safe area rather than just placing them in a drawer. Also I am a big lever gun fan and was thinking about upgrading my Henry model X in 357 with some of the Midwest industries items. Do you have any recommendations for me. Thanks I enjoy listening to your show while driving. (No notes) Co. Er E - I finally bought an MP5 clone (AP5) no thanks to you guys. It's my first roller delayed gun and I'm loving it so far. With tax stamps being reduced to $0 I'm looking to get a suppressor specifically for my MP5. What would you all suggest? It is already tri lug equipped. Thanks all! Josh R - Since Black Rhino Concealment stole tons of money from customers, what other holster companies can you recommend that offer similar levels of customization as BRC. specifically those that are adaptable to the QLS system as the few other companies i have looked into do not specifically say if they have that option.Notes, BRC made fantastic holsters and I have bought numerous, but fuck you for screwing tons of people over, including myself, and for your shitty business decisions. Go wallow in your fucking failures and your moms a hoe Cliff R - My question is in regard to the more recent popularity in Truck guns, mostly meaning pistol ARs, etc. I have an inexpensive full size 16 inch AR 15 has a truck gun underneath the backseat, but I also carry a concealed hang on on my person at all times and don't ever leave it in the truck because I'm not stupid. I see YouTube videos all the time about fancy and expensive AR pistols with braces and expensive electronic sights in 300 Blackout or whatever, mine is just a plain open sight AR Rifle, loaded and ready to go, but not to replace my handgun, which again is always on me. I can't afford that expensive and sometimes unnecessary shit, but the cheap shit I have; works- and the moderately priced handgun that's always on me- also always works. What's you guys thoughts on this ? And also would like to comment on Jeremy's lead exposure and control efforts at his facility. Really good job educating yourself and implementing administrative controls practices and PPE for both your employees and also yourself and efforts to protect your family from exposure to an organic lead. I'm impressed. I'm not going to fuck with you anymore. Good job Bro! Matt Why Do You Care - What are your thoughts on the B&T nato hub? Came across it from the lawsuit coverage but seems like a really cool concept. bt-parts.com/sd-140020-b-t-nato-hub-adapter/ No notes. The winner of this week's swag pack is Aaron D!

Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! https://pew.deals/- Dear WLS Pugh Binmateeth - Marry, Fuck, Kill - Binary trigger, bump stock, FRT. No notes Rob K - Dear WLS Long-time listener, love the show. Keep up the amazing work guys! My question is, how do y'all keep track of your ammo storages? I have well over a dozen different calibers now, in multiple different ammo cans, but I'm having trouble keeping track of how much I own to date. I would love to know a great way to keep track of what different brands, grains, dates purchased, corrosive and non-corrosive, and a total round count. Do you guys keep track in a specific way, like an Excel spreadsheet, an app, or just a handy dandy notebook? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. #WLSisLife #AmmoHorder #DrowinginLead DrLawnCareGuy - As a landscaper-American, I ponder many deep mysteries while using my leaf blower pack or riding around on my mower. For instance, I wonder things like "if el Yeremy liked amas de punto alto, cual would he use, y como le gustaria to have his hydro-dipped?" Would he have a c9 with sugar skulls? Appendix carry the 1095-pistol in diez mm with rainbow graphics? por favor, amigos, ayudamne. The GOAT of Buggertown - For a 9mm subgun, I'm curious what the cast's suggestions would be concerning a Mac5 MP5 clone vs a Matador Mat9 now that they are offered in roller delay... *No notes* #wlsislife #jeremyisnotacunt #ssbforever" Peter J - So since Madator arms now has a roller delay, is it worth buying one if I already have a Mat9? Then the real question is how does it compare to the crews MP5s since now you all have one. And Jeromebay really needs a Mat9 roller delay so he can full auto it. No notes Torn Taint - Long time listening, not first time caller here. Have you guys thought about doing a road trip to all lower 48 states to do a listener meet-up in one or two major cities in each state? You could even grab Johnny P. and his battle wagon and do content at gun manufacturer places. It's probably not going to happen but it'd be cool if you did. #wlsislife #dicksoutforgeno Bryan R - Why does everyone hate on Aaron when he's changing hearts and minds on the podcast? For instance, Jeremy used to love all nationalities as his own, then he met Aaron and thinks Hitler wasn't wrong about everything. Shawn's balls used to be normally attached to his body, then his balls saw someone was being a bigger dick than the one above it and sagged to the ground in shame. Nick used to be perfectly healthy, until his colon saw someone spewing more crap than it could and bled itself trying to spew more crap than Aaron could. Middle school bullies used to steal Savage's lunch money, and.......well that still happens, but there's always an exception to the rule. With all that in mind, what is the most backhanded compliment you all can give Aaron? Cheeks B Clappin - Shawn, have you thought of designing a signature wls cult suppressor? If you did you could call it the "SSB" and give one wood ssb token with each can. #ItsOurSSBcomrad The winner of this week's swag pack is Bryan R!

Double Tap Episode 422 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Die Free Co., XTech Tactical, Night Fision, Blue Alpha, Rost Martin, Swampfox Optics and Bowers Group Welcome to Double Tap, episode 422! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! Winner of the cigar pack is Fucking Bill. - Dear WLS Kilo Meter - If I see a gun in Dealbro should I take that as an endorsement that it is good? Also, should I assume all those sites are good to go? Juan Ench-Johnson - "If yall were to go back in time and purchase your first gun again, what would you do differently. Personally my first purchase was a Kimber and I was back and forth between that and an HK P30L. I had issues with the Kimber and would probably still have the HK today if I had made that choice initially. Is there anything yall would change?" Mark B - I'm looking to purchase a Browning Hi Power clone in 9mm. A real Hi Power would be nice, but they are expensive for nice ones or are rough surplus models. Leaning toward the Springfield SA-35, but I know there are cheaper Turkish made clones. Do you have any experience with or a recommendation for a Hi Power clone? Alex W - Hey, y'all. I've seen videos of people shooting through their front door from the inside when someone is trying to break it down to force entry into the house. What are your thoughts on this? And I'm not talking about someone standing there knocking aggressively. I mean, if they're actually trying to break the door open. Would you go ahead and shoot? Or would you hold fire until they actually forced the door open? Jason S - I got a Riley defense rak308. My 1st time shooting it i was using winchester white box m80 7.62x51 and i was getting popped primers and and buldged primers. Riley defense said it was from using 7.62x51 and not 308. i didn't have any other ammo and haven't had a chance to shoot 308 ammo yet. I put a hyperfire trigger hammer and hammer spring in it. I'm just wondering if it's the ammo or something with the rifle? Joe J - What is a good flashlight that won't come on in my pocket? I anm getting tire on the end cap button getting pushed and running my battery dead. If y'all ever come to SD, hmu. Readem Anweep - I recently purchased Sixguns by Elmer Keith after discussing shooting text in the Cult Discord chat. This reprint of the 1955 "Standard Reference Work" came to me in hard back, smelling of my old college textbooks and filled with pictures to help those who cannot yet read. This book has been fantastic to read through and made me wonder what physical media the cast recommends to have in your Library of End Times? I will keep this to firearm related as we all know a shelf full of Dungeon Crawler Carl and Tom Stranger will keep many cold nights warm. But what would the cast of WLS suggest to create a firearm library before all the yootoob influencers tell us the SIG p320 is the best gun of all time. #WLSISLIFE The winner of this week's swag pack is Joe J!

Can smart glasses help you play poker? Does AI give blind users superpowers? And what really happens when a guide dog retires? Steven and Shaun dig deep into the inbox to explore listener stories, smart tech, brain science, and blind pride—plus some laughs along the way.This episode of Double Tap opens with caffeine-fueled chaos and rolls into a lively, insightful discussion based entirely on listener emails. Dean from New Zealand kicks things off with high praise for the WeWALK Smart Cane and a surprising nod to Shaun's tip about using Copilot on mobile. The hosts then unpack the latest updates to the cane's obstacle detection and battery life, teasing a full review coming soon.Shaun explains why he prefers the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses over Envision despite Meta AI's limitations—hint: it's all about video calling and interface. Steven agrees, but raises concerns about battery life and the lack of display real estate. They also touch on upcoming AI-powered features like CoBrowse AI and agentic AIs, and the growing appeal (and privacy implications) of wearables.Listener Craig shares his emotional experience of retiring his guide dog Merlin, prompting a deep discussion about the lack of control blind users have in that process. Steven also opens up about his own hesitations around getting a guide dog, from access refusals to society's challenges.Amy writes in with thoughtful reflections on sensory substitution—especially the growing research around brain plasticity in blind people—and shares a story about resisting pressure to wear glasses as a child. This sparks a nuanced conversation about disability identity, assumptions from sighted people, and whether blind people really do develop “super senses.”Paul, a blind social worker, emails about using smart glasses to play cards or access online casinos. Steven and Shaun discuss current limitations, suggest tactile braille cards, and speculate about the future of AI-powered agents for gaming and kiosk access.The episode wraps with praise for Richer Sounds and a broader chat about how experiential retail could revive the high street—and why Amazon might ironically be leading the way.Chapters00:00 - Introduction02:44 - Listener Dean talks about the WeWalk smart cane and praises Shaun!16:06 - Listener Craig talks about retirement of his guide dog, Merlin29:37 - Get in touch with Double Tap30:01 - Listener Amy on blindness and better hearing44:36 - Listener Ian joins in on the praise of UK chain store Richer Sounds48:53 - Listener Paul on smart glasses and accessible gambling Find Double Tap online: YouTube, Double Tap Website---Follow on:YouTube: https://www.doubletaponair.com/youtubeX (formerly Twitter): https://www.doubletaponair.com/xInstagram: https://www.doubletaponair.com/instagramTikTok: https://www.doubletaponair.com/tiktokThreads: https://www.doubletaponair.com/threadsFacebook: https://www.doubletaponair.com/facebookLinkedIn: https://www.doubletaponair.com/linkedin Subscribe to the Podcast:Apple: https://www.doubletaponair.com/appleSpotify: https://www.doubletaponair.com/spotifyRSS: https://www.doubletaponair.com/podcastiHeadRadio: https://www.doubletaponair.com/iheart About Double TapHosted by the insightful duo, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece, Double Tap is a treasure trove of information for anyone who's blind or partially sighted and has a passion for tech.

Anyway, I'm set to "inherit" my great-grandfather's hunting rifle. It's a turn-of-the-century model, not sure what year exactly yet, but it's a Remington slide action in 35 Remington. I know nothing about performance, etc. You think I'd be safe to shoot it? It's for sure in heirloom territory. I don't have any use plans for it. Maybe a wall hanger if I can find a place my wife can handle for it. Anyway, thanks for the info boys (I think, don't want to misgender these days) Ps, I don't actually care about Aaron's gender or offending anyone. Pps, I miss Lil. Ppps, no homo. Pppps, SSB. Ppppps, is this joke old and dumb yet? Pppppps, just like shawn and aaron, lol Tony D - "Looking to get a sidearm for hiking and camping. I spend a lot of time in the White Mountains in New Hampshire. For the most part our wildlife is pretty easy to deal with. We have black bears but they tend to be small and for the most part they're more afraid of people than we are of them. The next biggest predators we have are coyotes, and bobcats, which I'm not particularly worried about, and fisher cats which, while creepy as fuck if you hear them at night, aren't really a threat (seriously look that shit up, they sound like screaming women). We also have timber rattlesnakes but they're rare enough to be a non-issue. Here's where it gets interesting, there is one animal in the woods of northern New England that scares me and it's the moose. When I say this people tend to say, “what's the big deal? It's just big deer, right?” Fuck no. I don't care how big you think a moose is, it's bigger than that. Picture a clydesdale with six foot antlers and cloven hooves and you'll have a rough approximation. They fear nothing and they move through the woods surprisingly quietly so it's pretty easy to startle one if you don't know it's there. In springtime the young bulls get all sex-nuts and retard-strong and occasionally decide to take out their sexual frustration by murdering the fuck out of whatever they can find. And god help you if you come across a cow with a baby. Mama moose will stomp your ass into jelly and go right back to munching on lake weed if you so much as look at her offspring cross-eyed. So my question is this, is 10mm hardcast enough to take down leftover ice-age megafauna too dumb to go extinct? Or should I be looking at something bigger?" Aaron Not Moses - Rebuilding a backyard range and I have a few different places to put it, no gas lines nearby. I am mostly surrounded by woods but there are some properties that have buildings on them or may be building on them in the future. Two questions, how high should a berm be in relation to the targets? When placing the berm and shooting direction how far should the closest building be away? 1 mile, 2 miles, or more We are shooting anything from 22-6.5 Creedmoor, but who knows when we will buy a cannon. Tyson S - Recently started chemo and due to having a port on my right side they told not shoot for fear of damaging it. My time line is finishing chemo ( should be cured very treatable prognosis) in a couple months but the ports stays in for a year or so. I'm going to try to learn to shoot left handed now a skill that I never thought I'...

I'm thinking of dumping the 2nd focal plane lpvo, what suggestions would you have for a different optic for that concept? Otherwise, what would you guys do for a "modern battle rifle" setup? Optics, furniture, etc? Cheers, Sean M No notes And 171 for life Nick D - I have a Mitchell shorty DOC with the mloc guard. I want to get a Midwest suppressor hand guard and a dead air can for it so I can have more rail space. Would this be a good set up? Any other suggestions? I have a heat wrap on the rail now and it takes up almost the entire rail. Help Alex S - I recently picked up an older Rem700 in 7mm Rem Mag. Been shooting my .308 out to distance (~550yds) but wanted to go further so i picked this up on a deal. I posted on DangFree about my new scope(Strike Eagle 5-25 FFP) and got a lot of great help there. My question for you today is about the barrel. It is the standard thinner profile barrel and heats up quick after my first few rounds. Is it worth swapping the barrel out to a bull? Should i leave this rifle as-is and invest in a new platform? Any other suggestions? Thanks for your abuse in advance! Wls4life Ragequit from Twitch - Hola everybody, looking into some defensive pistol/ar training and I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what is worth the time and money. I have seen everything from basic pistol courses where it appears they are indoors at a range to courses that are defensive/competition style classes. And when looking into defensive ar courses it runs the gamut from just getting into ar's to having “professional” training for wet work. What do I look for when trying to decipher the description of classes? I am located near the PA/MD/VA area so for the most part that is not a bad drive for most training if there is a recommendation for classes. What should I look for and what “descriptions “ should I steer away from. I appreciate any help, one of the watchers from twitch Ryan W - I have a registered SBR and recently moved to a new city. (It's an actual SBR with a stock, not a braced pistol, I am not one of those guys.) I read on the ATF website that a change of address form could be submitted after a move, as long as I am not crossing state lines. However, I have also read that the ATF is no longer requiring a change of address form at all, as long as the new address is in the same state. Do you know if this is true? Also, how long do you have after a move to notify the ATF? Thank you for the help...hopefully Mike H - Throwing an update since I already decided on my optic I was asking about earlier, found a great deal on a Sig Sierra3BDX 4.5-14x44 scope and picked up a rangefinder to go with, the scope was only $300 Nick F - odd question but have any of the cast looked into the "no new cemetery " conspiracy? I've found that some cemeteries practice the 50/100 year rule. apparently you don't own your plot forever..... Daniel A - What would you choose to defend yourself FN HP 9mm older model or a DB9 gen4? And is the older FN HP better than the new ones? The winner of this week's swag pack is Mike H! To win your own, go to welikeshooting.
Should every internet user be ID-verified? Steven and Shaun dive into the UK's new Online Safety Act, raising big questions about privacy, child protection, AI age verification, and the future of anonymous speech online.Shaun returns to Double Tap and kicks off a lively debate with Steven about the implications of the UK's newly enforced Online Safety Act. The law mandates age verification for access to adult and harmful content, sparking conversations around AI-based age detection, trust in tech companies, and global digital policy trends.They unpack the challenges of using credit cards, passports, or facial recognition to prove age online, and explore the tension between safety and surveillance. Topics include how the law may inadvertently impact platforms like Wikipedia and Discord, how political interpretation can distort what's considered “harmful content,” and whether an "internet passport" should become the global standard.The pair also discuss tech updates like Apple News+ audio content, Google's Gemini audio summaries, and new AI tools like OmniDescribe and Speakaboo. Plus, they tease upcoming content including interviews with Samsung Galaxy Fold users and the Roborock team.

I own a suppressor and was under the impression that I needed to update my address with the ATF. After asking Capital Armory as well as the suppressor manufacturer, they both told me not to worry about it and I didn't have to. I know you guys aren't lawyers but what would you do in this situation Mike H - Just bought a ruger SFAR in 6.5cm and trying to decide what glass to put on it. Tempted to go with a 5-25 but the longest range I shoot at is 400yd. I intend to get into hunting at some point with this rifle but I do not hunt yet. Since I just spent a grand on the gun I'm not looking to spend anyyhing crazy on the glass. Thanks in advance. P.S. Jeremy isn't a cunt P.P.S. Aaron is a cunt no notes Jeremy's Cousin Again - My question bout what meat you like. came from you guys talking bout kanye west cousins intimacies. I already knew what meat Aaron liked. Urva Jinaswet - We Like Shooting Episode 611 starting at timestamp 01,07,33 you guys were talking about a video on the SIG P320 and someone making it fire with using parts from different P320 configurations. You guys brushed it off as something that doesn't prove anything because it was made/forced to work like the ATF making that Auto Keycard to work. But it is not like that at all, and you missed the point. The point is that the P320 is capable of firing without the trigger being pulled. It proves the P320 is capable of firing without the trigger being depressed. So with parts being out of spec or not functioning correctly, which is entirely possible with mass production and MIM and shitty QC, the P320 can fire without input from the user. I have been saying this for a while now and now this video proves it. The trigger is not mechanically linked to the striker safety lock. The trigger pushes the striker safety lock out of the way when the trigger is pulled, but it does not pull it back when the trigger returns to start. A tiny spring is what returns the striker safety lock to safe. That's it. Just FYI. Where is this video that shows this? Warrior of the Weekend - Shawn, a few months ago you talked about doing a magnifier comparison review. I was really curious about the results. Did you ever finish it?I just need to know that my Eotech G33 magnifier is the best since it's the only one I have experience with therefore it's the best. #skibidihauktuagigachads Tater Daddy - Hope this arrives before it doesn't matter anymore. DearWLS is like sending a letter in 1848. Have we considered fully whether or not we want the hearing protection act as part of a tax bill? I can see directly how this could legitimize anti-gun NFA-like gun control in future tax bills as part of reconciliation. That would mean in 2-6 years we would be fighting Nonsense that could not be filibustered. On the other hand, this could represent an opportunity. There would obviously be a reprieve during which time suppressors would be easier to get. New tax based legislation for gun control might also represent better fodder for judicial challenges than a 90 year-old law which has gone relatively unchallenged.What are yous guys thoughts? -Tater Keith M - Hey guys, question of the day,,,,,,,on the H.P.A. /“ shush” act . If they take suppressors off the nfa list, (No form 4) just a 4473 ,
In this emotionally charged episode, Steven and Shaun unpack a controversial move by Meta to retire WhatsApp's native Windows app and replace it with a less accessible web wrapper. Steven, increasingly exasperated by the constant erosion of usability in mainstream apps, argues that blind users are being left behind by development teams prioritizing aesthetics and feature expansion over accessibility. Shaun plays devil's advocate, reminding listeners it's still in beta—but even he admits the accessibility track record isn't reassuring.The conversation widens to broader issues of planned obsolescence and consumer rights as Belkin announces the shutdown of its Wemo smart home devices. The guys debate whether legislation is needed to protect users when cloud-connected products suddenly stop working.They also cover Tiflotecnia's rebranded Vocalizer voices for NVDA, compare narrator voices, laugh about robot vacuums that do a worse job than humans, and reflect on the emotional toll of constant tech change on blind users. Steven hints at an upcoming hands-on review of the WeWALK smart cane in response to listener feedback.Chapters00:00 - Introduction01:36 - Steven rants about Meta's upcoming WhatsApp changes29:02 - Sponosr Double Tap!29:51 - Get in touch with the Double Tappers30:13 - Shaun talks about the demise of Belkin WeMo products37:48 - Steven buys a new Belkin docking station41:02 - Shaun buys new voices for NVDA46:16 - Issues finding chapter markers on apps49:46 - Shaun finds out what the Audio button was for in Facebook52:17 - Shaun's short review of the Eufy robot vacuum55:57 - Steven updates us on WeWalk travels Find Double Tap online: YouTube, Double Tap Website---Follow on:YouTube: https://www.doubletaponair.com/youtubeX (formerly Twitter): https://www.doubletaponair.com/xInstagram: https://www.doubletaponair.com/instagramTikTok: https://www.doubletaponair.com/tiktokThreads: https://www.doubletaponair.com/threadsFacebook: https://www.doubletaponair.com/facebookLinkedIn: https://www.doubletaponair.com/linkedin Subscribe to the Podcast:Apple: https://www.doubletaponair.com/appleSpotify: https://www.doubletaponair.com/spotifyRSS: https://www.doubletaponair.com/podcastiHeadRadio: https://www.doubletaponair.com/iheart About Double TapHosted by the insightful duo, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece, Double Tap is a treasure trove of information for anyone who's blind or partially sighted and has a passion for tech.

I can only assume with such a tiny magnification who ever had this rifle before me didn't shoot more than 50 yards , I'm thinking it was set up as a deer rifle. I'd like to take it out to 100 yards at least, intent is to be a general purpose rifle and not just set up for deer/50 yards or less. What magnification would you guys recommend I look at/for? Also looking at picking up a new rifle in 338 Lapua, what magnification would you recommend for this one? Have access to a 300 yard range for this one, hopefully can find a longer range someday. Thanks, Jordan" Hugh G. Clit - "How many stoppages is too many for your main squeeze AR? I've recently started trying to train more. I w been using a cmmg 22 conversion to shoot at least 500 rds per month of drills. Normally about 150 rds at a range trip. Then I finish the range trip by shooting a mag of 55gr 556 ammo. But my rifle normally has a hard time getting through the 556 mag. Having a failure to fire every 5 or 6 rds. I'm thinking it's because of how dirty the 22 lr is. But if I do t shoot the 22 lr ammo. I get a stoppage every 2 or 3 mags. Is that normal? Should I be able to get through 100 rds without an issue? How many times do you expect to have a malfunction per 500 rds?" a-in-your-face s. - "I was watching a JaredAF video where he was talking about lead levels and lead exposure. He shoots a lot and reloads and had is blood lead level tested and it was 5x the normal level. The amount of shooting I do is very cyclic, from 10-15k rounds a year when I was shooting competition to very little in the last year. If I had high levels they have probably lowered by now. But lately I have been introducing my kids to shooting and trying to at least teach them about exposure and hand washing (and keeping your hands out of your mouth). Do any of you guys have concern for lead levels and lead exposure, particularly Shawn who shoots a lot and Jeremy who spends tons of time at an indoor range? Is this something that yall even think about? #no_notes #SSB" Kyle R - It's the mid 80's .The WLS SSB Team has been convicted of crimes they did not commit and escaped into the Ohio underground. Colonel Lynch (not Nick) and his team has them pinned down in an active airplane hanger. You each need to choose a character, but not the obvious one. Therefore no Jeremy Pozracus, Hannibal Herron, Nick the Faceman, or Howling Mad Moses. Savage can remain the female reporter that follows them around. You can choose 1 of 2 weapons from each of the following 4 categories to disperse 1 of to each member. Pistol- Hi-Power or 1911. Rifle- M16A1 or Mini-14. SMG- Thompson or Micro-Uzi and a heavy machine gun-M60 or M2. How does the SS-B Team get out of this one? AR Drew - I am looking for a short (under 10”) bolt action 300blk. Ideally it would be 1/5 twist and I would only shoot suppressed. My question for Jeremy is how important is that fast twist on a short barrel with subsonic 300blk? The twist really limits options to the B&T SPR300 (about $5k), the Q Mini Fix (about $2500 dealer cost but Q), the Christensen Arms MPP (about $2k when you can find them), or more custom options like Black Collar Arms. What does the crew recommend?

I have the option of installing a safe at a family members property that is still in a suppressor friendly state and leaving it there. So long as I am the only one that knows the access code to the safe will this be okay? Joe No Notes Rusty S - In a fight for your life, would you rather have a rifle chambered in a pistol cartridge or a pistol chambered in a rifle cartridge? No pistol braces or buffer tubes that can be shouldered are allowed on the pistol. Mr. NiceGuy W - If you were the devil, what would you offer your cast members in exchange for their soul? Jeremy, I would offer to pay off his range and give him a lifetime supply of ranch Aaron I would offer clear skin, free of psoriasis, a toilet capable of handling apples and good luck Nick would be easy. A healthy and a proper functioning digestive system. Savage I would offer, hair, height and a few Bitcoin. Shawn would have to be weight-loss without exercise or Ozempic, and wrinkly balls Jordan S - Hey guys, TL/DR- Supressors expensive. What next gUuDeR muzzle device? I've had my 1st AR for a couple years now (basic flat-top PSA) & interested in changing out the cheap A2 birdcage, that everybody seems to hate. Watched some YT. They all start w/ the birdcage. 3-4 prong flash hider or hider/comps. Suppressor adapters & then whatever suppressors they have. All (except the wHisper pickles) seem to be +/- on recoil mitigation vs flash suppression and they end up saying ""Just get a suppressor"". Yeah, no shit. They are THE best muzzle device. I don't see myself getting into suppressor money soon, so not really worried about that. Jusy looking into something different. Use case is paper punching, but aiming for accuracy. Nothing high speed. I like the open prong FHs (purely off esthetics). Not "jazzed" about the concussion that comes (Hehe) with compensators, but haven't ruled them out. Even thought about a flash can, because reasons, ya know. It's not like the paper/cardboard targets are going to be shooting back. Obviously NODS aren't in the scenario either. Whatcha think? Thanks for getting me through the work week on Spotify. No notes. Dick Beelong - I have an autistic question for y'all even though Jerombé will probably hate on me for it. I'm currently running an AEMS on an ADM NV mount on my suppressed 11.5"" AR15. I obviously have my light and laser up front. But I got a good deal on a T1/T2 GBRS Hydra mount and it has me curious. Should I swap over to a t1/t2 style dot and move the laser back or just not be a bitch and leave it as is with a ton of weight upfront? Thank you for your time and Aaron, stop being racist. We all saw what you did with those chicken & duck eggs. #nonotesborthers Dan N - Hey guys, I've been fucking with guns for a while. Building and fixing everything I can.
