"Rescue your japanese love pillow."
This man understands my mission requirements.
Now to complete this rescue what're we thinking for as far as infil goes? Are we going to do a HALO jump down to the basement or..?
@@mikefox3309 go through the swaps, breech the door, secure mom. Get the pillow, exfil to chic fil a
Rescue Mikichan... I mean... your Japanese love pillow
Better than saving your woman when it comes to brass tacks
🤣 I almost did a spit take when he said, “Japanese love pillow.”
I almost want to buy one, but have a rifle or an anime gun girl printed on it for the meme.
It would redefine keeping a gun under your pillow.
"keymod will probably not survive the years"
well boys, flannel daddy was right yet again.
Xbackwoods thanks for all the keymod gear on sale everywhere. Just because a few navy seals found the failure point of keymod mounting system under intentional extreme abuse, doesn’t mean it’s a bad choice
@Easliy Displeased He's not wrong, but why stay with a inferior system?
@@yjkoh3399 inferior can mean so many things. Is a Lambo an inferior car to a Bugatti? Sure; but that doesn't mean its a bad car. All depends on what you need. No need to spent all your money on additions or improvements that won't make a difference for your and your use of the object.
@@ReadySetGoPictures Yeah no.
Keymod is weaker mounting system, shears easier, and even Noveske the contributors of the beginning keymod are building M-lok systems now.
No new manufacturers are building keymod rails or accessories. This isn't Lambo to Bugatti, this is Betamax to DVD. Except that in this scenario, the DVD system is both superior strength AND more prolific.
If you buy cheap keymod and don't intend to change a set system that's very sane. But I would never suggest a new shooter to go into the keymod system.
@@yjkoh3399 Have you ever had keymod break on you? Probably not. I agree, dont start there if you're just getting into guns, do with what's being used. But if you have a built rifle with parts that work or want parts that are on sale, who cares. You'll probably be fine in the lifetime of the gun unless you're really putting it to use, which most people don't.
FYI, Don't knock crayons until you try them. Elmer's makes a good ass dipping sauce
Mr. Morris beer literally came out my nose LMAO!
Mr. Morris lol u made my day
🤣
This guy Marines.
The dipping sauce definitely puts the cherry on top
As another commentary once said on a video similar to this, "the fact that key mod was even mentioned means that this video is ancient."
Facts
@@GarandThumb thanks for the response! 👍
I work at a gun shop and a customer came in to buy a blue label Glock. We started to explain the paperwork he needed to bring in to get one which, to our surprise, he had with him. Come to find out he was with the airforce so I said "Oh no wonder you're so good at paperwork."
He thought it was pretty funny, but the guy next to him seemed annoyed. "Hey!" He says, "Us Marines can do paperwork too! It takes us a few crayons to get through it cause we keep eatin' 'em, but we do!"
HAHAHA!!! eatn crayons 😄
Especially the red ones
Why would he makes fun of himself? That makes it unfunny
@@zach3096 I'm not telling a joke, I'm recounting an actual conversation I had with two actual people.
@@Fmily I’m just saying, he makes fun of himself which is like an anti-joke. Someone making fun of you = ✅ you making fun of yourself = 🚫

i would join you but no we ant aloud any cool guns down here in Australia cant even beat the shit out of anyone that brakes in to my home hell if someone where to rob me in my house and they trip over something and broke there arm i would still end up in more shit then the guy the robed me. if i had the money i would move to the USA.
@@phalanx3803 same dude, if a robber breaks his arm when you fight him off or he falls on your property, YOU will be charged with that in Germany. Clown world
@@phalanx3803 Same here in Canada... we can OWN a few cool rifles but we can only use them at the range where we are properly supervised by our nanny government.. Australia you can still shoot long range precision bolt guns though cant you? Long range is pretty fun
@@flighttherapybullisticfpv133 guns that are in military service or previously in military service or looks like a military gun take the M40 A5 or the M98B are banned these laws even apply to Airsoft.
@@phalanx3803 wow man that suuucks.. i am legitimately sorry lol
Rescuing your Japanese love pillow needs to be #2 in terms of priority (#1 being looking cool, of course).
rescuing the doll is number 1 i dont look cool which is why i have the doll
I'm actually curious on how you could let it escape in the first place, I keep mine chained up near my bed.
"Remember, every OP is a photo OP."

Gotta look cool 1st
The 6th principle of patrolling -- look cool.
The 77/75/73 grain Match bullet pared with a high velocity load is a whole new animal for the .223 chambering. Extends effective range by almost double out to at least 700 yards. At least off the bench I have been able to reliably hit 12" targets at 500 yards plus with a first shot. The new "heavy" OTM loads really breath new life into a 60 year old military cartridge.
Video is 14.5 minutes long, barrel is 14.5" long. I see what you did.
Is Garand Thumb an illuminati?
illuminati confirmed.
This vid had my attention pinned.
Anybody know which stock hes got on this rifle b5?
Look like B5 enhanced. Either 1 or the other.
I always wondered where the thing about Marines and crayons came from until I talked to some of my friends that are in other branches and it turns out I'm the only one that has genuinely eaten crayons.
I like your dog
Garand Thumb I call him woobie
Cannedbread17 Do you mean poncho liner?
@@GarandThumb please do an updated Recce Rifle Setup Video!
@@iab32 I agree!
As another NCO once told me: It's not about how you do it. It's about how you look while you're doing it.
Im going to start calling my scoped .22lr zeroed in at 20 yards and 80 yards a Recce rifle to sound cool.
Brian Outdoors & Truth ... scoped .22LR is budget badass recce at its finest. I love impressing all the grade school kids at the range shooting their single shot 22s while their milf moms holds the juice box and snax.
I'm doing the same with my old red rider
"If you are a marine you may want to put some crayons in there for a snack.."
Omfg...🤣🥜
Yazoo and Texas Pete!
Yazoo haha. Marines require highest asvab score except for air force... back in my day dur dur dur
You're leaving out the Coast Guard! They required high scores Plus at least 6 month wait. We also washed out a lot of guys during the 80's that didn't have the right attitude or were not up to the job, even though they made it through our not so tough Boot camp.
But Marines are smarter
and tougher than they get credit for.
I trained with Recon Marines, smart guys that can get anything done.
We had reserve Marines that worked with us during LE.
What flavor ?
uglydog311, duh green for camo-Ing the teeth.
I use a Protac 2 at work daily and this thing gets pretty beat up and sometimes gets submerged in various fluids. It has performed flawlessly and maintained its water resistance for over two years. I use CR123A batteries which don't have great life but you could also run a single 18650 rechargable battery in it. I wouldn't hesitate to run a Streamlight on a rifle.
Can you do a tutorial on how you do your hair please
Clinton Oh Styling gel.
lmfaooo this made me literally laugh my ass off
I believe a LEGO man made of plastic 3D prints a helmet, and his "hair" is covertly carbon-nanotube armor covered by LEGO shiny plastic.
That's classified.
Or how to only train arms. 😏
This guy’s sarcasm is the main thing that makes me come back time and time again to watch his videos
"rescue your Japanese love pillow"

I use the Stream light protac light on my work rifle and that thing is awesome. they are very affordable durable lights.
This guy needs more recognition than he gets. Great videos man!
ghillie1999 totally agree. He popped up in my suggestion box a few weeks ago and I'm still wondering how TH-cam got something right.
read the comments. i think we are the problem
14 minutes on a black background. I see what you mean.
He is very smart and good with a rifle & pistol. The videos are informative and entertaining. I'm sure that the people that matter appreciate all of the help that he gives.
ghillie1999 I
was a recce myself, we used a 5.56mm bullpup, 508mm(20 in) barrel, 1.5x optics, barrel mount IR emitter which can toggle between a visible red dot or an invisible beam for use with NVG. weapon was 4kg(8.82lb). Generally we don't engage, and the furthest distance we'll do so is around 300m.
Picked up 14.5 BCM Recce a few months ago like the balance and all around rifle. Glad you done a video on the history behind Recce rifle. Ranger bands work well for the cables also.
Given us 80's veterans love with the woodland.
I usually keep a small vial of Airman's tears in my stock instead of crayons. Keeps my motivation at record levels even when the suck is in full swing.
Chad Temple Dude we don't cry when we have room service...thank you for your service. Peace Keeper CVMA Chapter 16-3
I've been searching since I had first seen this comment, I've yet to acquire airman tears. They just make fun of me and my sleeping bag.
🤣🤣
Hockey Tape. it's cloth like medical tape and durable. and comes in any color. Black, tan, sand, olive, forest green etc.
Sports tape at Walmart. Same thing and survived my 100 round mag dumps with no damage. So far.
I use hockey tape on my hockey sticks. Works good.
You da real MVP.
HPHT if you’re an AvE fan.
Streamlight is awesome! I use them a lot here around my place. Not in combat though, just rural life.
I use a 4x scope. And instead of an RMR for close range, use a very small lightweight visible laser, zeroed to 10-15 yards. Just much easier and quick than trying to find your dot on your rmr when its on top or offset. Its work so much better for me, especially for medium game.
This is perfect for me. Mom says I'm the specialist operator in school!
Viru Sinstall is that a school shooter joke?
@@PilotN396 gunna say the same thing..... LMAO
If I'm out in the woods or mountains and expect some kind of long range scenario, I'm gonna take a battle rifle in 308/7.62x51 as my 1st pick. If I REALLY need to take a 5.56 rifle for whatever reason, it's gonna be an 18-20 inch barrel DMR setup with 77 grain bullets.
Haha. Forgot to mention love the jab a the Marines (12:08). Crayons for a snack. Deffinately cool dude. Im tuneing in everytime I get the chime.
Pick up hockey tape. They have it in black as well. Adheres very well, especially if it gets wet and also give very good traction.
My Japanese love doll is now safe and secure in the bunker, thanks to this video! Much appreciated.
this dude just destroys everyone and everything with his Hollywood wit, I love it
Revisiting Flannel-Daddy when he was just Utility Uncle... Before the comment section broke him. 😱...🤣
I have just 3 black rifles my Recce is a 6lb Barrett REC 7 Gen 2 DI with a 1x6 glass and a cheaper primary arms light. The 7-1 twist barrel stabilizes 55 to 77 gr rounds very well. I have a couple extra rifles for friends and 308 for reaching out, I really get a lot out of your videos thanks.
Oh my god the Marine joke. @ 12:08
Still waiting for your Condor Brick review.
Ha ha, yup! Dry wit.
Yeah that was my time of death.
THIS IS GREAT!!
AsianWithHat I can confirm
My Dad was a Marine
I wouldn't trust him wth crayons
He probably choke 😝
"with my facial structure it works very well..."

Definitely love BCM barrels, chrome lined and pressure and magnetic tested. Also really thinking about going with a close to 14.5 length. BCM also has amazing bolt carrier group's, also chrome lined and ect. Thought you would have had a side mounted red dot though with your low powered variable optic.
BCM Quality,Raptor Charging Handle, P4Xi 1-4 Steiner Glass- EXCELLENT, Mloc, This Sir is a SHF/Boogaloo Choice for Home Defense. It's my go to.
Pretty damn cool to come back to 2017 at the early stages of EAS and watch how comfortable you've became later on. Damn good intel four years later. Carry on.
I love my 12.5" "RECCE" build. Went with the noveske crusader barrel. A bit heavy but it makes up for it by its accuracy and it actually chronos a bit faster with 77gr loads than a few other 14.5s I've measured.
Oh man. just watched this again and I had forgotten how far the vibe has come over the years. lol
4:32 “...I’m balls deep into the idea of you doing that kind of stuff...” 😂😂😂 SUBSCRIBED. That plus the Marines joke. F’ing money.
For the layman, the Protac is a great choice. Surefire is obviously the best but also the most expensive. Streamlight isn't cheap either but much more affordable.
My feelings for you has gotten stronger.

"No matter what guys, make sure you look cool and make sure you look cool. Otherwise, there is no point to any of this."

Duuude that’s a movie I’d watch. Acned up kid in full gear with a cloned military rifle fights through an Airsoft field to rescue his Japanese love pillow
I built one using a Christmas gift. It came with the mid-length gas tube, 16" barrel with 1:7 twist. I put the Hera CQC stock, flip up rear sight and red dot sight on it
I think youre missing the whole point of "recce" rifle.. the idea is to have something with a Low Power Variable Optic so that you can engage targets at greater ranges than red dots and irons allow
Hey just wanted to say your my new TH-cam obsession. I was hit by a car so I’m done for close to a year. But I do get to by 70k worth of guns and gear soon lol.
shawn douglas obsession could be a strong word. Not saying it is, just that it could be.
Hahaha hate to here that you’re down but way to have a killer attitude towards it man
I hope you hit that damn car back square in the grill, and 70k worth? Hey new best friend 😂
blake102989 here’s the fucked up part it was at a Jewish school I was doing security at so I actually almost shot the driver because I assumed it was a terrorist attack. Then I saw the drivers and realized it was the janitors wife
@@911couple5 We need an update. What guns did you buy? How's the car doing? 😂
"Says the guy with a Mark18" hahah Love your vids!
primary arms optics are under rated. With my PA 1-8x I can outshoot my buddies trijicons and sigs on 40-450 yard dmr speed drills
Great video! I thought Recce was just a name BCM made up, but thanks for educating me on the name, origin, and purpose of the rifle. I really like the BCM Recce 14.5 rifle but I wish it came with M-lok. The good news is that BCM is now producing M-lok so if they make this rifle with a M-lok I'd purchase it in a heartbeat.
Again thanks for the very informative video.
I think I may enjoy your channel more than any other firearms channel. The dry humor is hilarious and you give pertinent info.
Stumbled across your channel today, can't stop binge watching. Great content.
I opted to go with a 20" HBAR
For right now, it's using a KP-15 lower and a Magpul MOE handguard. I'll be upgrading the handguard soon.
I've got the 4-14x44 from Primary Arms with the 5.56 DMR HUD reticle. It's nested into a UTG Accusync cantilever mount. I didn't think I'd like the mount, because UTG... but it has been an absolute winner for a $40 mount. I'm running a 12 o'clock tube mounted SeeAll Open Sight with tritium. Right now it has an Inforce basic flashlight mounted on it.
I'm eventually planning on upgrading and moving my PEQ-15 over to this rifle, in addition to a Vortex flash hider.
I'm a huge fan of the SeeAlls. They're damn near indestructible, and eat exactly zero batteries. The down side is that it's basically a compact set of iron sights, so you're losing the bottom half of your field of view. They are very accurate and dependable, though.
Shit I was using quad rails on my SBR up until today. Now I'm using Keymod lol. I'm still rocking Quad rails on my DMR. Try Velcro strips for cable management, tape will melt. I use the Velcro strips from Walmart, can find them in the TV area. Good option for a less expensive Optic is Primary Arms with ACSS. Good video brother.
Always appreciate in the input boss. I'll try out the velcro strips. Have tons of them lying around. Our go to in our unit has been electrical tape and medical cloth tape. I'll pass this one on.
Garand Thumb Any time. I have always loved the tactics, techniques and information that is shared. Channel is top notch, keep up the great work.
WickedSensation I like black zip ties. Pull em tight and clip em. Lol. I thought EVERYONE used them.
M85FSLUVR I do too my friend but I've had them melt away. I use zip ties all most of my gear if I need to semi permanently attach something. After a few disagreements with bad guys in OIF4 I found the zip ties on my light cords were melted off. Zip ties, Velcro, "Ranger" Bands, 100mph tape, Electrical tape it all works. Try the Velcro cable organizers from Walmart or wherever. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
WickedSensation Roger that. I'll give it a look. Thx
glad to see someone make a video on a Recce. built one too, went with a Rainier arms Ultramatch 16" barrel.
Can't go wrong with Rainier
Garand Thumb i have to ask. You army AIRFORCE ? Because goddamn dude im fucking impressed:)
I've heard a number of "gun gurus" say the Keymod vs M-lock is like the Beta vs VCR race. As luck would have it, I chose Keymod. I guess I'll upgrade when the situation dictates, but it hasn't killed me yet. Good video; thanks for your input.
My how you and your personality has changed over 4 years. Love the channel!
"Make sure you look cool, otherwise there is literally no point to any of this." LOL, great sign off. Love the channel.

"Japanese Love Pillow"
These videos are excellent don't ever stop.
You deserve a lot more viewers!
Grip tape 4 baseball bat works well too no shine absorb sweat and doesn't leave your hands sticky
Isn't that a BCM Recce?
"make sure your rifle looks cool, make sure you look cool otherwise there literally no point to any of this" 😂😂😂
That’s what I’m saying lol
I live in the ozarks and i have to say, there are no 600 yard shooting opportunities. Its covered in woodlands. Youre lucky to take 100-200 yard shots. Typically past that its because youre in a field
You can use shrink tubing or just electrical tape over the paracord where it meets the Picatinny to protect it. If you use shrink tubing you don't fully shrink it and it will keep more of its "pliability."
Finally. My Japanese love pillow has been trapped behind enemy lines for years. Haven’t had the right equipment to go get it. Now I’m ready. I’m coming, 私の愛!
Since I became an avid viewer and subscriber, I've have beyond impressed with your knowledge and delivery, but this one was so smooth and almost trumps them all. Flowed like water! and chock-full of useful info/tips. Just what I was looking for. Kudos!
I don't know how it's taken me 5 years to find your vids but you are clearly squared away after 30sec of watching. Lead the way brother.
WOW! As an ex-Army NCO from the 90's and I"m in awe of your expertise. Seriously, that is some PhD next-level knowledge that you have on soldiering. Very impressive. I hope I never have to face off with someone like you if our country enters a new civil war.
wigon But can he use that knowledge while taking fire? Big difference in having knowledge about what to do and then actually being able to do those things while an enemy element is shooting at you and maneuvering on you. I'm a former Army NCO myself from this bullshit GWOT era.
no words can describe my love for that scope
OMG "rescue your Japanese love pillow" got me cryin over here!!
Garand, use hockey stick tape. It's the best I have found. Slightly tacky non slip. And non reflective.
"Japanese body pillow"
I SEE YOU ARE A MAN OF CULTURE AS WELL!
On the sling , I'd recommend a M60 sling to add for bearing the weight evenly . I use to even use spare M60 sling and run it on the backside of my ruck and my shoulders . Ole school for today's soldiers . Keep strong and don't forget to share your Crayon's with Marines .ARMY STRONG!!
now I can operate with senpai~
edit: holy shit that Marines joke
I love your dry humor and the jokes you throw in. The information is first rate too. My BCM 14.5 and 16 are set up very similar to yours.
That intro and the video quality are at a Air Force-funding level of production value.

There's another reason why to pick 18 other than increased velocity: the gas system. Having a rifle length gas system produces smoother recoil, allowing for better follow up shots.
So behind the times. A 200 crayon pack fits perfect in the cargo pocket. Variety is the spice of life. 🤦♂️ Comon’ man. Semper Fi fly boy. 👍🏻
I keep various types of tactical crayons 🖍 in the storage tubes. I will never go Oscar Mike without them. Any of you vets out there know what I mean when it comes to your second tod, you know what you really need and don’t. The red ones taste the best btw
Absolutely crazy how time flies by.

"I like the storage tubes in the stock, it allows me to put things in there I may need during the mission. If you're a Marine, you might wanna put crayons in there, as a snack..."
As a Marine I laughed until my balls hurt. Totally unexpected delivery.
Just put the Streamlight HX-L I think it is on my Ruger SR 762. I really like it so far.
Curious what your current Recce Rifle looks like and how its changed since this video.
Over the past year I have been regularly shooting at a 2.5 foot diameter circular gong with a Colt M4 6920 and M4 6940 topped with an ACOG TA01 4x32, and a Colt AR15 A4 with an ACOG 4x32 TA31 RCO A4CP. All three of these rifles are stock. What I find fascinating is that I can consistently hit that gong out to a whopping 700 yards/640 meters with 62 grain SS109 ammo. I usually have about a 45/55% hit rate out of a 30 round mag. Sometimes the wind is a major challenge as would be expected at that distance. But my point is that these rifles, especially the M4 carbines with there 16 inch barrels are phenomenally accurate with the help of a 4x32 optic. I think that most people don't realize just how accurate a standard rifle actually is. I'm curious of how much more accurate I would be with a match trigger and stronger optics.
"if your a marine you might want to keep some crayons in there for some snacks" LMAO i just died.
