BEST.....INTRO.....EVER!
Seriously. My bachelor party actually WAS going shooting with my best mates.
That intro is the best you have done so far, Kudos for keep a straight face
I really like the Lancer AWM mags especially in colder weather.
Truly the best intro and you have had some good ones
we love you Bryan Black! 😂🤘💥🇺🇸👀
love the marc lee patch. keep up the good work you are a great source of info
you had me at "lube" LOL! great intro - props to the writer. good vid, good info, thanks!
In the Swiss Army, we carry an specific Adapter for those stripper clips in the Pistol grip in our rifle (sig550 / stgw90). The Ammunition comes also pre loaded up with 10 Rounds per Clip out of the Box.. Pretty slick and easy to use..
earned a like just for that intro.
Best intro yet!
I did 17 years in the Marines (2/5, 2/9, 3/8(Beirut), 2/1, 3rd LAR(Somalia) among other units) and never had an issue loading my USGI mags to 30rds.
I sure appreciate the tip on that "X designation".... that truly explains about 5 misfires in 30 rounds thank you so much I'll pass that information on.
I've had problems with the old m2 pmags when loaded to 30 rounds, but the gen 3 seems to have fixed that problem
can you talk about why you would want a chest rig vs battle belt? thanks
love lancer mags!!
Wrong kind of lube...haha
keep it up, love the intros
Thank you!!
Mayflower is Gold
Bryan, look up videos using Montblanc refills in cheaper pens. Interesting side note, the Pilot G-2 gel pens contain antifreeze in the ink. Might be helpful for cold weather environments.
Haha love these intros.
those intros are some funny shit lol
Lancer also makes a clear mag with no grey or tan tint to them. It seems that those are harder to find, though.
There are other manufacturers that make pens that take the Fisher space pen cartridge. Fisher themsleves also make other models of the space pen too that work a little better.
Would u suggest if u wana join the tacticool craze, to change the floor plate on those lancers and put the ranger floorplate on with the grip?.or just leave it
Bryan, what watch were you wearing in the current gear tasting video?
You said to avoid XM ammo. What ammo do you recommend for training? 5.56 and 9 mm? Thanks!
Intro almost made me shit my pants 😂😂😂
Blue loctite for pen maybe?
i stripper clip and bandoleer all my ammo.
For lack of a google search, reviews of that Mont Blanc says that the cap doesn't post to the pen when off. Is this true? If so, what do you do with the cap while writing? Seemed strange, especially for that pricy of a pen.
Most Embassy pens are the same way - they're done as such so that when you loan someone your pen, you can hang on to the cap so that they don't forget and just pocket it....and with a pen as expensive as a Mont Blanc is, it's not surprising.
Kent Christensen. Interesting. thank you for that input.
If your pen comes unscrewed use some red Loctite.
People try to seek 31 rounds into a mag...then they blame the mag for not working or not locking into the magwell.
Also a magazine loaded to 28 is easier to seat on a closed bolt
Dylan Cicero 28 or 30 makes no difference with good training.
Joshua Sibio I don't load to 28, I know some who do for that reason. I've seen a couple very well trained individuals drop a full mag under stress because it wasn't fully seated. Your mileage may vary.
Dylan Cicero Touche' sir. But it all comes down to training. Although as you said, high stress environments can be unpredictable. However muscle memory and repetition helps a great deal. If you're used to shoving the magazine into your weapon hard and you know the feeling of a proper lock, things behave. Also the push/pull is a good habit to get into if you've had mags drop under stress.
mag brackets? how about adapter
Not a problem feeding but problem loading on a closed bolt
Lancers are much harder to insert on a closed bolt than PMags.
cloudcleaver23 take the mag apart, look at the follower, there will be a mark on the inside of the rear anti tilt portion, file down until reach that mark, reassemble magazine
The 27/28 round thing in a 30 round magazine is to assist people with loading an AR when the bolt is closed. AFIAK, this idea started back in the mid/late 2000's. Basically you'd have LEOs and some military folks that were smaller framed and issued newish magazines with tight springs. When you try to load an AR with a full 30 and a closed bolt you have to use significantly more force than loading a 27/28 round magazine. I do this, I train women to do this, it works well for me. 11B's and 0311's think I'm a pussy, but hey, I'm a pussy who can reliably reload without tugging on the bottom of my mag to ensure it's seated.
People in the know will realize that the AR was intended to be combat reloaded when the bolt is held back and open. You insert the magazine and drop the bolt. This type of reload doesn't face resistance against the bolt, because the bolt is pulled back.
Just slap the bottom like you mean it when you load it on a closed bolt and you'll have no problems. It's so easy a pog can do it.
This is the primary reason for the 28 thing.
i notice you use tap water for making coffee, why is that?
Pen operator. What pen do you run, bruh?
pathyskeeter pilot .07 in tacticool black
*Never load any magazine to full capacity* is in the same vein of thought as *ARs can only be run super clean and extremely wet* or *AKs never jam!* It is false logic based on poorly performing guns/gear. Buy good stuff and it isn't an issue.
When talking about AR magazines, Pmags are the standard, everything else needs to be vetted.
Sunshine_Shooter I can tell you a few stories on faulty Pmags. All mags regardless of brand need to vetted before you bet your life on them.
Wrong
Sunshine_Shooter Pmags are not a standard. I can't use Pmags because the way I was taught and trained to reload my weapon, instead of push/pull, I slam that bitch into the magwell. It seats properly, the first time. With Pmags, because of the force I use, the plastic gets fucked up on the mag release latch and I've had feed lips break on the bolt carrier. I only use steel mags and I've been using Lancer mags for several years now because the main body of the magazine is polymer with the mag release depression and feed lips are made of steel. They work spectacularly. Fuck Pmags.
I agree with you about everything else you said. loading 28 instead of 30 is result of using shit gear. Lowest bidder aluminum with bad followers. Also fuck running ARs wet. I've been using and building gas piston ARs for several years and I've never had a problem. Just as reliable and accurate as a DI gun.
Joshua Sibio there are several reasons most knowledgeable people do not load at mags to full capacity.
NOLATAC The only reason I know of, aside from competition, is because of bad gear. Poor follower design in aluminum mil-standard mags causes malfunctions, due to follower tilt and springs that are too strong or too weak, when they're loaded to a full 30 rounds. I was taught that in boot camp, infantry school, unit training, pre-deployment training, and every other kind of weapons or training school I've been to. That's why you can purchase enhanced and aftermarket followers and springs for mil-spec aluminum mags. That's also why Pmags, Lancer mags, and every other kind of polymer, steel, new type aluminum mag, and/or aftermarket magazine out there comes with an 'anti-tilt' follower. If there's another reason why we're taught not to fully load mags I'd like to know what it is..
