Govt all worried about us shooting in full auto, when some own rifles you can literally shoot up to 1000m out and not even have to be close to the target…
In the Air Force, I never shot full auto, but had ability to shoot 3 burst. I was taught to only use semi.
Can you do a review on the new lpvo scope switch
Having used both, I think a binary trigger makes more sense than 3 round burst.
FA is a waste of time in 99% of situations. Even the most elite units practice fire discipline and ammo conservation. Targeted precision shots.
My issued rifle was M4A1 with eotech 552 , magpul moe stock, magpul rail covers and hand stop, peq-15/surefire m951, magpul 2 point sling with QD.
Now my personal rifle
Is pretty much a aero clone of my issued rifle except for the peq15 and eotech, i put all the crap i had on my issued rifle on to my personal, and I bought a elcan spec dr
There is no substitute for full Auto in a situation when you need it….. I have spoken
Then why doesn't the military just make full auto obsolete on infantry rifles and if you were dropped off behind enemy lines with four other guys which would you pick for your hypothetical team five military full auto capable m4's or semi only civilian ar15's
Great thwts all the ammo the democrats need hearing younsay the two platforms are the same, ive already lost my Rights to own a firearm here in Washington state
8:48 man that was so clean, you really are an impressive shooter. Love the videos man
What kind of chest rig are you using? I want to buy my first one but don't want to get ripped off.
Great video
💯‼️🤙🏽
Ar 15 is superior as military cut down cost as they have to provide weapons to millions of men but you can buy better rifle as you have to buy only few rifles like 5 for house that you hide 1 for your kid and wife if they are cool enough and 1 for yourself
Same thing happened with barrett military adopted them and they got their m designation
love the new youtube avatar, supa kleen!
All the real ones love trex
I’d imagine that this is similar to surfing and hydrofoiling in which most gear is good enigma for the job and it almost entirely depends on the user.
For example, a professional surfer can get barreled on a $200 foam top board that most surfers tend to scoff at.
I’ve seen people scoff at military weapons. Perhaps poorly maintained and lacking Gucci features, they’re more than adequate if you have sufficient training and the money to push ammo
The Army doesn't use full auto M16 or M4. We had semi – auto and 3 round burst.
I honestly never saw Full Auto being useful in ANY application period point blank. It’s literally the least accurate and controllable way to fire a gun period. Plus with a good trigger you can still quickly get rounds off but have better technique and control behind it.
Y’all need to do more videos. I get you’re running a business but there are few YT videos I enjoy equally
Bringing in the "ship of Theseus" paradox is great.
If I buy a base gun, say from Colt. And slowly replace the parts with upgrades after several years, including the upper and lower. If I never buy another rifle, is it still the Colt I originally bought?
Thanks…I think 🤔.
aside from a clearly well demonstrated shooting and tactical proficiency Lucas delivers concise tutorials and is one of the very best for masterful knowledge of nomenclature and distinctions of arms and equipment.
this all requires acute attention to detail and thorough understanding of a wide range of concepts and realities.
quite enjoyable content. was watching some slander fest about this kid…… and i think he draws flak because he is this good and this young.
having good language and communication skills along with confidence pisses many people off regardless of topic…..
Would you rather have an M16 over an M4? … Why did the US go to the shorter barrel vs keep the long barreled M16 as their primary service weapon? …
Um…… Thanks for saying the quiet part out loud 🤷♂️ LOL
Lets not pretend that this guy is good at anything other than competition style shooting. If you want to train for actual "2a purposes" learn some guerilla tactics. Comp shooting is going to get you whacked irl.
So Milspec M4A1 vs civilian AR15 is like a rental fleet Camry vs a private Camry with TRD parts, they have the same underpinning but difference performance level.
why does the ar15 in video still runs the light on that place instead of full on the front to try to remove the barrel shadow?
My wife walked in when you had all the clones on the hood of the car. I instinctively grabbed a pillow and covered myself up. Now she’s upset and jealous.
"A civilian AR15" Lmao murica…🤣
Unfortunately this video seems ripe for the media to grab and take out of context
lucas has been puttin on some gains
