- Fellow Legends, welcome! Today we dive into another amazing Fat Electrician video, this time where we discuss when the United States of America dropped $300 million to design the future of rifles for the military. It's always a good day when you hear about a story where Uncle Sam writes someone a blank check to develop something for the military. What do you think about some of the designs? Were you ever able to work with one of these designs? Do you think that any of these designs could have become the new gold standard? I absolutely loved watching this, seeing The Fat Electrician bring us great military history brings a special kind of joy to my life. If you liked this video as much as I did then I do absolutely recommend you go and check out the original video to show some support for the source material!

Asked my cousin, who's a Marine, to describe a bullet in the most Marine terms possible.
He told me "Bullets are the hurty seeds that turn bad guys into mist and bad days into good ones"
He then clarified with "They're like high velocity crayons for the bad guys to chew on"
Remember, folks, don't give any Germans a goal and tell them they don't have to worry about money or don't set a budget for them, they WILL overengineer everything.
It is actually a really cool concept and looks like with the discovery of new technologies, it could become actually viable.
Especially there weapons programs like there war planes and war ships good god Bismarck and Tirpitz was a tragedy
I'm former military. I've seen square pegs in round holes and soldier pegs in skanky methed out hooker holes. If you can fit it, even if it takes a hammer, we will get it in there.
Good example, in 2005 at a training class on flying Raven Drones, the instructor reached the point of every class where a teacher will ask "Does anyone have a question?" Simultaneously all 10 of us students raised our hands and when the instructor calls on one of us, the question asked was "can we replace the side camera with a small explosive charge?" He answered no and called on the next guy who asked "But what if the explosive only weighed 1lb and was a shaped and directional?" The instructor had a slightly horrified look on his face as he answered no and every other hand went down. Fast-forward 8 months, I'm not saying someone tried it anyways, but there may be an unofficial drone kill in Afghanistan.
Holy shit
You can buy flechettes as a Civilian they are generally made for shotguns
Also you can buy sabot Dart slugs for a shotgun too
Just note if local law enforcement finds out while they are legal they will be a bit more nervous around you
Flechettes and sabot slugs for shotguns?
I always felt like that Shotguns with these kinds of ammunitions would be the best in a "gunplay simulator" where characters are wearing "irl heavy armor" like in Payday 2, but as we know, being a thicc boi in the battlefield irl is not very useful since you are slow and carrying a lot of weight, and your armor may stop a lot of bullets but there are a lot of things that can go through it.
A game with these kinds of ammunition would make me feel like playing an ancestor of a space marine...
See, the problem with that is Flechette 12 gauge is basically worthless and will struggle to effectively penetrate soft armor and even if they do they won't penetrate further than the fins. They're a novelty round like Dragon's Breath. Pretty sure most of the myths about their effectiveness were spread by legislators wanting to ban these and video games making them broken. On the other hand, sabot slugs are pretty strong.
@@FriendlyArchpriest Yeah more or less on point here. There's no functional reason to weigh down troops with all that weight in an attempt to make them virtually walking tanks, just give them enough armor to give them a reasonable chance of surviving a few rounds and you're good. We already have things meant to soak up rounds in their place. They're called Armored Vehicles and they're still vulnerable to some things, just less things than the squishy boys inside XD
I'd watch a Combat Kip channel for range days and other combat type content. Swords, I mean swords.
Oh wow, I just realized I took Kip's videos for granted since Kip uploads three videos as if he was Asmongold with hired editors that are allowed to do whatever they want...
I hope someday Kip does get some editors so that he can focus on "cooking the meal" rather than fabricating the plate and utensils from scratch, raising the animals, and growing the plants... I shiver just from thinking...
Echo makes a saw blade attachment for their weed wackers for that express purpose: Taking down those thick woody weeds and brush. Is it a circular saw blade? No, not literally. Is it the same thing? Yes.
I mean... 3d printing does wonders, lol
I have one for my Stihl. I used it for brush clearing. It's not a blade, but three individual saws arranged in a triangle. It's mean.
@@americansmarkI also have one for my Stihl, but it looks exactly like a saw blade, except it doesn't scare the shit out of me like when i actually used to attach a saw blade to it :D I used it to trim our passion fruit plants because the regular string bruised the plants too much and the double blade that came with it somehow kicked a lot
the thing is bullpups are more accurate because you can make the barrel longer.
It might make the barrel longer, but I don't want the mags in my armpits, it won't end well because, I keep forgetting my own strength and destroy stuff, now just imagine that happening with the mag, (This is my opinion, Somebullpups look cool, but most are don't look good)
@@hjrulez8516skill issue
From what I understand, the primary issue with bullpups is ammo feeding. Compacting all the internals gets really weird with standard mags.
Just having a longer barrel doesn't make something more accurate. There is a lot of complex math that I don't have the proper inclination for to determine the best lenght for a given round.
Bullpups also have far more complex linkages for firing by necessity, and the more complex something is the more likely it is to break.
Plus, bullpups just look bad to me
@@DelinquentChibi seems like something 300 million in R&D could have fixed...
So, through personal testing, 12" chop saw blades do not fit on the head of a weed eater. However, Project Farm has shown (and tested) "brush blades" that are designed to fit on the head shaft of a straight shaft trimmer.
I might have bought a few, because fuck that sapling in particular.
Also, military personnel putting things where they have no business being in has resulted in a niece who I absolutely adore, and an ex-sister-in-law I absolutely despise. So... Win some, lose some.
Don't know if I get the picture here on how you have a niece and an ex sister in law did her now ex husband cheat or?
@@dobber43 My brother (a prior service Marine) married a woman he had no business being near, and had a daughter. And if anything, all the evidence shows her cheating on him. The Army taught me "don't stick your d*ck in crazy". The Marines generally had the rule "don't stick your d*ck in anything crazier than you". A good metric, all told, but again, with the Marine Corps it's "rules are more like guidelines".
I've always thought a weed eater with a brush blade would make a good anti-zombie weapon, you've got the cutting power of the blade but a lot of reach to keep out of grabbing range. a decently powerful pole saw would probably do similar.
@@MarkoDash I'd prefer the pole saw. A weed eater can be pretty awkward to handle.
Hey kip..... Hypothetically i have a friend who is a navy combat engineer...... And Hyopthetically while we were at a range one day he loaded the ammunition, for both guns he was responsible for reloading, backwards
SeaBees would find how
As for the weed Wacker... I think I could 3d print an adapter to make the saw blade fit.
I have no doubt the usps motto of “if it fits, it ships” came from the military. So yea, they absolutely would try.
Yeah under reagan they tried do stuff with lasers, and called it the Space Defense Initiative aka SDI, but it was jokingly called Star Wars, (Im not doing this with politics in mind, im just typing this for History)
😒(puts on tin foil hat)
Sooooooo, I suspect that the program was never actually "canceled" just renamed a continued at DARPA/Area51.
It is the reason why we have some of the ship mounted anti-missile laser systems.
BUT......... I also suspect that we actually have a few satellite based anti-ICBM lasers that are under the command of the Space Force.
You have no idea how often the idea "hey, why don't we go check with the actual boots on the ground about this?" either comes to my mind with a number of these projects, or just the idea of "find the smartest Marine/Sailor/Pilot/Soldier/Whateverthespaceforcefolksarecalled around and get their input" floats up. Cause the staggering amount of times I have seen something that is an interesting idea, get torn apart by ONE teeny tiny defect, makes the Death Star seem like a reasonably effective idea. Like seriously, just get a bunch of Crayon Nommers (Marines) or Spray Paint Huffers (Navy) or Paper Chompers (Airforce) or Glue Slurpers (Army) or . . . whatever the hell the Space Force guys are on . . . I think we'll say Vitamin Gummies on that one, and just sit them down and go "Okay, what would YOU like to see in a weapon" and just start listening to their insane ramblings. Like nine times out of ten you'll get something more solid than letting a bunch of Corpo big wigs who "know" what they're doing (they mostly really don't know what they're doing) design a weapon and just throw money at the problem. Cause no matter what generation, nor what year, or what capacity it is, there are always a number of "neat" ideas that can be quashed by "Just make the original better".
Keep it simple stupid is an army phrase my parents taught me since they're former military. Sometimes the stupidest options work best.
@@FubukiTheIcyKing If it's stupid, but works, it ain't stupid.
Space Force on vitamin gummies. I'm definitely stealing that one.
One time my NCOs were panicking cause our LMTVs hook didn’t have a pin, so it couldn’t secure the trailer. Spent 20 minutes on it, my PVT got a thin rod made out of steel, shoved it in and bent the ends so it wouldn’t slide off.
He brought me back to reality that sometimes, you just gotta adapt.
Does a circular saw blade fit on a weed wacker? The answer is yes... If you have the correct adapter kit.
With 3d printers and a good set of electronic calipers, you can always have the right adapter kit
Some commercial weed eaters have a brush cutting adapter so you can clear tougher plants
On the subject of fitting thing where it doesn't belong I presume Kip knows that .50BMG will chamber in a standard 12 gauge shotgun. The primer can be a bit tougher than the firing mechanism is designed to set off, but it will usually still work. The videos are out there on You Tube, and they are hilarious.
DemolitionRanch did it. Even down to a shotgun with a barrel so short the round stuck out of the end.
@@Jedi450 Precisely one of the videos I had in mind, though there are others as well.
haha you are my people! LUL@@grantharriman284
has this been tested with double-barrel?
@@patrickoviatt2432 I would presume it would function, though I would not expect the extractor/ejection mechanism common in double barrel shotguns to function. The fireformed casing would likely have to be removed with a rod.
actually he recently uploaded the second part to this video
Anything fits if you try hard enough kip, ANYTHING ( 12:10 )
'Bu-' 'ANYTHING, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME'
Exactly
who knew that zooming in on some thing can make you more accurate.
Uh. that block of a gun is sexy. I love my country (Germany if someone slow reads this)
Sometimes even if it doesn't fit they will find away. My father was in the army and was a vehicle mechanic. After being honorably discharged he literally put a saw blade on a weed wacker.
12:05 Oh kip in my county we like to say "If it don't fit, MAKE it fit!"
As for the string trimmer to saw blade conversion, it depends on both the string trimmer and the saw blade as to whether or not it will work, both have varying diameters on what goes where
Circular saw blades don't fit a weed whacker...but they make something that is basically that idea.
It does. It just requires some Steam Workship mods; a few drilled holes, some heavy-duty bolts, and a little specialty metalworking.
@@CorporalCargopants1749by that notion an office chair fits...
@@justicar5 Correct. Not advisable or useful in any way, but correct.
Dude! The circular Saw blade idea is probably how the weed whaker head that has three serated plastic blades that pop out you can buy instead of the string, happened.
Learned from my great uncle that with a wrench and a hell of a lot of precision, yes, a circular saw blade can indeed fit on an older model bush wacker or wipper-snipper, just need to tighten it enough.
May his... unique redneck soul rest in peace and continue to abuse every item he owns and hord what's left of them afterwards along with everything he'd borrow and forget to give back on that riverside property made of dirt, old cars and scrap metal in the sky.
Who else wants to hear a reaction to fat electrician favorite Christmas story
Colt just decided to get the Double Tap perk-a-cola for 2000 points after turning on the power and getting Juggernog...
The circular saw on the weed whacker bit, thats the reason they make small chainsaw heads for weed whackers. Basically a week whacker head adapted for a chainsaw
Also funny story about scopes allowing more accuracy…they certainly do. Anyways, after the second battle of Fallujeah, the USMC was investigated for war crimes, as insurgents, fighters. Whatever we’re showing up with a terrifying amount of headshots…and it was believed, given our reputation that we were executing prisoners…no, no we just finally got ACOGS in larger numbers and issued, along with training and combat experience with them, dudes were pulling off 300m headshots in combat, like directed at that target, semi auto/single round hits…that’s what the investigation found, Marines are just that good, especially when given a good scope. And that’s just regular Marines, infantry types. I do remember on the KD range, after getting my ACOG…I could actually see my own shot trace in the air barely at 300m and see it really well at 500m I had 20/10 vision at the time, now I’m a lowly and sad 20/20 vision, I still can see it at 500m, but is much harder. Now that I’m older, and have had many different chemical types and objects put into my eyes forcefully, and after some bad accidents/impacts it degraded more than anything else caused. At the 500m line, once I got an ACOG, from about 300m all the way to the target, I could see my shot trace and knew if it would be hit/where I wanted or not right before it hit, so could adjust before the shot spotter was put in and ran back up.
Nobody tell Kip that Brandon Herrera recently shot an elk with, you guessed it...
6.5 Creedmoor
My dad absolutely equipped his weed wacker with a circular saw blade. For for those heavy duty out of control weeds. I don’t remember if it just fit on that model but I believe he fabricated a new head for the weed wacker out of ABS or something like that. He once used it to dispatch a large snake that he found in the weeds he was cutting. Cut it into several pieces.
Thats how we got the brush cutter. Which is a “weed whacker” that has metal blades instead of nylon cord.
Kip, I was a 30-06, but 6.5 CM is so nice.
I considered putting the saw blade on my weed wacker, but I didn't want to risk anyone playing with it.
When the G11 was presented.
Germans: “It fires 3 round bursts, has caseless amo, a futuristic look, and a scope.”
USA: “It’s perfect.”
Germans: “And here is how it works.” *opens up the gun revealing a grandfather clock of machinery* “Truly a marvel of engineering, wouldn’t you say?”
USA: *complete incomprehension* “Why are you like this?”
And oh right after and even during WWII the US military already tried basically all these options, just slightly lower tech. But duplex bullets, yep, flechettes, yep, like the saying goes, “there is nothing new under the sun” I don’t remember what it is in Latin. Where it came from, something like “blah, blah dead language words, sub sole.” Now the best one woulda been a crazy flechette in the G11. Or of AAI was smart, using 5.56 brass, they woulda made their gun fully compatible with current ammo, and actual improvements, and you can use the new special ammo for real. And small amounts of training enough so people get used to the performance, but need the high end stuff for basic things and make it as similar to the M-16 as possible in parts, simplicity, operation. Look and feel in general. That woulda won instantly if they did that. I know so many people talk shit about M-16’s/AR’s they are literally the best, most functional, accurate, modular, easiest to learn and use modern rifle that has ever been made, for mass production, people will be like oh AK…no, not even close. Yes more AK’s have been made and used, but they are not as capable of the same accuracy to give to anyone. With a short amount of basic training, and so easy to learn, also, with lighter recoil. Higher velocity, etc. in reality the M-16/AR is far superior in all ways but cost. And any accuracy issues, as in it’s not a high end civilian gun in that department can mostly be solved by using good ammo made to be extremely accurate. I qualified with M-16A2’s, iron sights all but my last 18 months in the USMC, I got expert every year but one, where I shot one point under because I messed up, haha. Every time but one, at 500m I put ten out of ten into the ten ring, with iron sights, and that was a good amount of my buddies too, so not just me, that’s with the M855, that is notoriously “inaccurate” are you ever gonna do tiny groups at that range, especially with iron sights, no, it’s not meant too, it’s meant to penetrate light barriers and soft body armor, aka flak jackets and “bullet proof” vests, and be able for a basically, but well trained serviceman to be able to hit the enemy out to 300m, and just regular Marines can do so easily at 500m, with iron sights so it’s honestly insanely hard to beat the M-16/M4 line in all categories along with 5.56 let alone to do so good enough to warrant the cost of switch, plenty of other things have been better in one or two ways in the almost 60 years of the M-16 and 5.56…but not better all around. And definitely not better enough to warrant the cost in time and money to warrant adopting, the current whatever fraud, waste abuse and graft rifle is no exception, let’s make it heavier than BAR, and only slightly increase performance over 7.62 Nato shooting tungsten AP, while making them adopt proprietary and marginally better stuff, if you wanted that, neck down the 7.62mm NATO brass to 7mm or 6.5, gove it a tungsten penetrator core equal in mass to the 7.62 AP core. But longer and skinnier, and a copper bullet around it, to get that lighter weight overall, and put it into a well built AR-10 that exists, even go with a piston driven one of you want. Guess what, you’d get a better marginal increase in performance, all across the board, but at a quarter of the cost and time, and retraining needed. Even better if you just used a 7.62mm sabot, as then you could still shoot 7.62mm Nato if you need too, or for cheaper training ammo. And the gun would have all the same controls, just be a little bigger and barely heavier.
The German one sounds like it actually gonna be something in the future if it gets more optimized.
11:03 depends. We have some blades that fit and we used it to cut down tiny trees
From my understanding Styer tried to alleviate the cook off tendency by having the gun fire from an open bolt, but this only created a new problem because now there was the risk of the round firing before the bolt was fully locked.
As someone who bought an ACOG for my astigmatism: Get a Primary Arms SLx microprism in 3x or 5x instead. 1/3 the price, 1/2 the size and wight, same build quality, better reticle if you get the ACSS Raptor reticle version. Only thing missing vs the ACOG is the fiber-illumination.
Saw blades don't fit on weed eaters without modification however they do fit on angle grinders
I want a keltech rdb defender. It is their 5.56 near sbr bullpup. And as a marine yes I can attest to multiple instances of people putting things in places they shouldn't

Hey, I know that cargo pants fellow. He’s 138% demented and twice as confident when it comes to bad decisions.
And yes, I have seen the sawblade mounted on a string trimmer. Looks like something the 40K Orks would use, tbh…
10:43
…yep, I immediately wanted to test it, it being the middle of the night…and not owning a circular saw…why can’t I stop thinking about this?
However, they do make specific saw blades for weedwhips to help take out brush and small trees. Usually they are for larger engines around 60-70cc just because you need a bit more power. Those blades do works quite well.
Honestly, i think a Kip pew pew channel would be AMAZING
And yes I do have an ACOG…they are amazing and fantastic, low power optics. All you need on a 5.56 chambered AR, as the ACOG can outperform the ammo types. During my only and last deployment, with an ACOG, I ordered one, personal kind, same model as I carried, for my M-16A2 based AR, along with a flat top receiver to make it an A4 like one. Fantastic and fun lil “rifle” I say it that way. As it is a carbine in all ways but barrel length. But even then. It is carbine length to everything else that existed, until the M16 was a thing. Fun, handy, light and short, more than accurate enough, easily can stack rounds center mass at 500m with the carry handle back on, and get about a 1/3 smaller group at 500 with the ACOG. Can turn in 6-7” groups or so with surplus M855, usually to the larger side, or even 8-9” ten shot groups. Is that the most accurate? No, but that’s with surplus loaded to NATO specs, it’s not a sniper rifle, it’s a regular, run of the mill “modern” combat rifle, with normal ammo. Shooting prone. With the sling wrapped, it’s accurate enough to kill an enemy, that’s the entire purpose and reason it exists. If I want more accuracy, go with 77grain OTM’s…and almost halves that number, with a ten shot group. Best I squeezed out my bone stock bushmaster XM-15 full length barrel with a bush master flat top. Timney triggernpack, ACOG titanium firing pin, A4 hand guard. And a wrapped sling was 5” ten shot group with 77 grain OTM’s. Regular group with that is about 7” at 500m.
4:25 Ok I just asked my grandfather he wasn’t in the Marines he was in the Navy for the first question he said because it goes around the casing and the second one he said for hunting in military
I had a buddy who was in the army. He had a guy that took a Barret .50 cal sniper rifle and rigged it to fire from a belt box ment for the M2 Browning MG. It worked. Belt fed semiautomatic sniper rifle. Master Guns walked up to him and said "put it back. I am disappointed, but I'm also impressed". Proof that soldiers will be irresponsible if you give them the keys to the armory.
My dad actually did hook up a saw blade to his weed Wacker and cut a ton of underbrush with it to help with the swarm of mosquitoes.
As far as the saw blade-weed whacker question, it really depends on the models of both. some do actually fit, but even with that they don't really work amazingly well. The saw blade needs way more torque to do it's job than trim line does.
Wasn't there a Churchill Quote that went something like "You can always trust Americans to do the right thing. After they have tried all other alternatives." ?
to quote Sir Winston Churchill...
"you can always trust the Americans to do the right thing...
...after they've tried everything else."
SDI or Space Defense Initiative was started under Reagan. Nickname Star Wars. The weapons developed under this was, high watt chemical lasers, particle cannons, the space missiles, and rail guns. And we still have them, but are too expensive for operational purposes
I love my bolt action 408 Chay-Tac m200 intervention.
Still don't have one but when I get the money I will
I bet that 6.5 goes great with your pink dress and high heels. Probably came with your Traeger! (Why do I sound like my dad all of a sudden?)
Ive never put a circular saw blade on a weed whacker, but now i WANT TO
If I am remembering right,.. I think a Scheel's store is opening up in Caldwell.
oh man I love that acog. that scope is nice.
Yes please do range day stuff!
The Colt rifle has the Fallout 4 double shot legendary effect.
New Mr beast video idea "i gave the Marines 300m dollars to make a new gun and bullet"
"Have you ever witnessed military personnel fitting something where it doesn't belong?"
Military?No
Civilian? Which time?
great reaction KIP
It’s like these are the companies from the Borderlands games. Colt went with the Atlas mindset of 2 bullets per shot, then slapped a god dam scope on an M16. I would be a god dam engineering nightmare because I don’t have an engineering degree and stupid questions have stupid answers. Who knew?
if you remove the gaurd from the weedwacker and have a weedwhacker that has a strong enough attaching bolt...i can see the logistics in putting a circular saw blade on the weedwhacker.
I would love to see you do some range day stuff.
I think I'd ask JSOC operators to design a firearm, or at least the parameters for one
Well, Kip. Theoretically, bullets don't belong in a body. But our whole job in the military is putting things where they don't belong. But specifically, that's how sabot rounds were made. Damn we are out of .50 cal. Well....we can take up space in the barrel with these .30 call bullets....let's give it a go.
Never underestimate the resolve of a crayon eater, there is a reason why Claymore Mines have "Do Not Eat" written on them.
A range day channel would be lit ngl
A Scheels just opened in my state 2 days ago, went there yesterday. Can confirm, it's pretty legit
Also competition distance shooter here, nothing fucks quite like .308 fucks.
Maybe 30-06, but I haven't saved up enough for that ar yet. AR10 my beloved
Aight throwing this out there, Bullpups are fucking stupid designs that people need to stop trying to force just because they look cool
The civilian version of the G36 is the SL8
Colt literally made the 2 shot legendary affect from fallout 4
Dude I would love it if you did range day content
9:40 ... my brain went straight to slippery dolphin, lol
12:14 ... I have 2 3d printers. I can make an adapter... I don't have a circular saw blade, a weed whacker, or a desire to lose the grippers. However. If I did have those and some thicc polycarbonate armour I would absolutely be willing to do it for science. Naturally, in a safe manner.
Part of me now wants to make ridiculous airsoft guns that confuse other players again. For example. What if the charging handle on an m4 was turned into a 30 bb mag. The forward assist turned into the mag release. The mag release turned into the trigger. And the mag just a box that insults you or something weird. Idk. I'd love to do something like that and let someone use it for a round.
Or get a bunch of 1911 slides. Take the pin out. Make sure each hopup chamber has a bb in it. Then only use the mag for the gas. Effectively reload via swapping the slide, lol
308 if for fighting, 6.5 creedmore is for a specific targets.
Hey, Kip. In regards of 6.5 creedmore and .308, why don't you just split the difrence between the two? Go with either 7mm-08 (expensive option) or .260 Remington. Both are necked down .308 rounds but perform way better with less recoile. 7mm-08 is .308 necked down to 7mm and .260 Remington is .308 necked down to 6.5mm. Both have less drop, less wind drift and less recoil than .308. both also go up to 140 gr rounds with better performance compared to .308 150 gr rounds.
Its just an option. I love both .308 and 6.5 creedmore, but I realy like the .260 Remington.
Mostly, it is just a lack of knowledge they even existed. I have enough platforms currently, and maybe in the future I'll look into them.
@@KipReacts thats fine, I just thought I'd give you a couple of options other than the usual calibers if you ever want to try something new.
I have a grinder that most circular saw blades fit on. If it works it works.
I like the 6.5 Creedmoor as well.
I can 100 % say that a saw blade does not fit on a weed Wacker. Without some modifications at least
I love that this continues to be a thing. It makes my day.
I can confirm a saw blade does NOT fit the average weed whacker. ... BUT! The head can be modified to accept chains. Broken links becoming a ballistic issue tho...
You found an HK SL8. A shitty import version of the G36, which can't even use G36 mags; they made it so it can only accept it's own proprietary 10 round, single stack mag.
The beautiful thing is everyone knows the US Department of Defense so well that the question of budget is immediately assumed to be "yes. Just build the thing."
Before people ask or start making fun of the Canadian military that they have the M134 optic...it's not. In 1990 Canada adopted the C7A1, it being the standard rifle in the late 90s, replacing all of the base/traditional C7 rifles and it has the C79 ELCAN. It has a better reticle than the M134, both sights are produced by ELCAN, but they're not the same. Besides that, we can all agree that the ACOG is a great optic a long with some others....it's just stupidly expensive!
Can confirm that circular saw blades don’t fit weed whackers without the manufacture of a special bushing. Have tried, have built. Buy an electric chainsaw and hedge trimmer.
Kip you say military is all about procedure but I say nope they are totally about putting stuff where it's not supposed to go especially if it fits. My example of "Torpedo juice" is very old school but it definitely fits the theme. Torpedo fuel or specifically the concoction resulting from it that the crews used to drink back then definitely doesn't go in people's stomachs.
We have a weed walker that COMES with a saw blade attachment
Barrel length doesn't make quite as big a difference as you would think. The reason scopes make guns more accurate is because they cheat and bend light to create a sight radius that is far larger than you can physically put on the gun.
Kip: Hypothetically theoretically have you seen or witnessed any hypothetical or theoretical instances were military personnel fitting things were it doesn't belong?
Me: wow, where do I start........
I laughed but when you do look at weapon development and stuff in military history it really do be just like that at times
It is possible to put a saw blade on a weed wacker 😂 I've done it
You absolute legend.
Sir I have no recollection of such an event
RANGE DAY!!!! HELL YEAH!
Wait so what you're telling me is that these companies tried to turn tank ammunition, this shit is literally scaled down APFSDS (Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot) which is a Main Battle Tank's primary anti-tank round, into a shoulder fired cartridge...? That's kinda neat actually.
I mean seriously, look at those bullets then look up a diagram of an APFSDS shell.
Yes 16 inch saw blades fit on my weedeater.
I'd totally try the weed eater saw.
