About Me
My name is Brandon Herrera. I'm the owner and operator of The AK Guy Inc, a 07 Firearm Manufacturer based out of Fayetteville, NC. I also co-own Stark Media Group, and designed the rifle known as the AK-50.
I've started to dedicate this CZcams channel above all to have fun, but also as a way to document my entrepreneurial journey for the next few years as I try to grow my companies. Hopefully, people can learn from my example, successes, and failures.
Either way, I'm having a lot of fun with it so far, and I hope it's just as fun to follow along!

How was this posted one hour ago when this video is 30 seconds old
The Afghanistan trilogy finally comes to an end with Episode 3: Revenge of AliBubba
In this episode we string Biden and his administration up as sacrifices to Afghan i hopes of becoming stronger by sacrificing the weak.
In hindsight we should have gone with the woke sjw reboot and armed and train all the Afghan Women to fight the Taliban for the last 20 years in: Episode 7: The Feminist Awakens considering the Afghan men were the biggest bunch of Chickenhawk cowards this side of a Liberal Arts Campus or John Bolton
Plot twist.
What if the Talis are just Afghani versions of red blooded patriots that we have here in the states? We're told they're t3rr0rists. They tell everyone we're t3rr0rists. So, makes you wonder...... 😉
@@NoNo_IStay of course people fly plains into buildings all the time but like you said just a matter of perspective

They took a page out of the japanese playbook.
Not as dark as the smoldering rubble of the heli...
No no, fire creates light. The smoke is dark, yeah, but the area is definitely gonna be lit up
Best line in the whole video
Disabled USN vet here. This video verifies it: Brandon, you’re a decent human being. Rock on.
“Talk to your friends” couldn’t be more true. He wasn’t a vet but I met a guy about a month ago at a family reunion that was invited by other family and his wife who had just left him (self admittedly because she never got to hoe around) had been there as well. I spend a decent amount of time hanging out with him because he was a really nice and cool guy and we talked about life and I tried helping him see the brighter side of things. A week later I hear from my dad that he had shot himself. He’d given no indication that he’d do something like that and I’ll never forget him. Be there for your friends guys, it really does matter.
People who truly want to commit suicide generally won't let other people find that out
@@Hige-san not always true
@@aitor9158 there are no absolutes, but its true much more often than not. The point is, do what you can but ultimately it's not on you it's a decision they make and if they really want it there is no way you can save someone who dosnt want help
The last two years have just totally sucked... You adding Joe Biden as president and then Afghanistan p😫😵🤯 😤thank God I have Jesus 🙏🏼✝️😌
Does it matter if people who commit suicide are likely to talk about it first? I think some people are *completely* missing the point here - TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS, especially ones who have served in GWOT. The situation with US troops not being allowed to rescue or protect US citizens because they're outside the perimeter has been hitting me me hard. It reminds me of watching Saddam's Republican Guards mopping up Iraqi freedom fighters right after the Desert Storm cease-fire. We sat helplessly a few miles south of An-Nasiriya while those poor guys got smoked, hoping and praying we'd be allowed to intervene. I can't imagine how it would have felt if they were my fellow countrymen and women.
As a disabled US Marine Corps veteran, this whole situation has me depressed and angry. But Brandon Herrera, do another gun meme review. You know you want to!
Sorry about this fella. Just try to remember, none of this is your fault, it's theirs.
Stay strong brother this isn't on us
My man I’m gonna have to piggy back off the last reply. You gave everything and everyone is proud that you served. Keep your head up and semper fi. Y’all win battles. Men in suits fuck it up and lose wars
The most powerful phrase I have ever heard today
@@lucasbabcock7998 couldn't have said it better myself
I was in Afghanistan. It breaks my heart that I went there for nothing.
Stay strong brother you did your best.
You did the right thing. It's the politician that failed us and the afghan people. Don't mistaken that.
Thank you for your service, sincerely.
I'm so sorry. I don't know exactly what you are going through, but maybe professional help is the answer, or talking to a trusted friend about what you are going through. People care about you, even if it may not feel like it at times. Be safe, I wish you the best.
you were there for cia opium fields and to fly the lgbt pride flag in kabul.
You were the baddies unfortunately
I'm an 11B vet, I served in Iraq but not Afghanistan but have plenty of military buddies who did... and after seeing the sheer anger on your face around 9:00.... I have formed a whole new kind of respect for you.
"Call your friends."
WTF? An actual, caring, real PSA? Now I have to figure out who's hiding onions in my office!
Seriously call them. Even if they don't want to talk just them knowing you care makes a difference. Fuck you don't even have to talk. Get two beers and sit. If they want to talk they will. If they don't then just you being there is a lot.
Taliban is sending onions on drones

The way Angry Cops said it was amazing "This is quite possibly the largest tactical acquisition of shit in the history of ever"
....beating the previous record set by the collapse of American backed forces at the hands of ISIL in Syria and Iraq. The US is pretty much littering the world with weapons at this point.
I’d argue that the actual original funding of the Mujahideen in the 80’s started this whole fire, but yeah this was the tactical equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot
@@michaelczesnozki1671 They weren't given enough to keep stuffed in a bunker for 40 years though...they were given enough to fuck with Russia on and off for the better part of a decade, and then nothing else.
...they just then turned around and bought shit from shady post-soviet Russians and post revolution Iran from there. The training, yes...the weapons, no.
@@DxBlack that’s a good point. Thank you for your insight. I’d never really thought about how much guns and ammo we gave them
Gotta love Angry Cop's😎
"Done a minor oopsie" understatement of the century
You know it’s fubar when the French show up to fix the shit show you created.
When people start to meme more about the US and Afghanistan than France being stomped in WW2 its serious.
@@DefinitelyNotEmma at least the French fought until the germans reached Paris lol
Also “The military we’ve been arming and training for 20 years, rolled over like a neutered puppy”
@@thomashambly3718 I can see the Afghan army becoming the biggest military meme of the decade.
"Jeb couldn't win at Solitaire" sounds like he wouldn't be able to figure out how to play it in the first place
“Guns are good investments, I don’t care what my accountant says” so true. My accountant is my wife so it’s harder to not care what she says lol.
“call your friends, man”

I can see it now....just like vietnam, there will be a ton of us military weapons floating around in the next ten years
@@rizalwan1838 which will become legal to own by 2040 or 2050.
My father knew an Afghan war vet, (the war vet) after hearing that we (we being the US) basically gave up on the war he called a friend of has, said "goodbye" and right after hanging up shot himself in the head. I pisses me off to no end to see how incompetent our government and military is, decades of fighting and dying, all for nothing. Everybody who died fighting for their country in Afghanistan seems to have died in vain because their own country has turned its back on them by giving up. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that our troops were coming home, but this was the worst way possible to do it.
Ty you for taken the time to remind everyone to check in on vets it truly dose save life's with a simple phone call
I really appreciate how you can make us laugh with a serious topic all the while reminding us how important it truly is and to care for those around us. Thank you Brandon
Agreed
Afghanistan vet. Honestly the memes that have come out of this nightmare is the only thing that’s kept me from trying to find the bottom of a whiskey bottle.
Dude, keep it strong. I'm not from the US, but our vets that where there are feeling the same way. You're not alone in the world.
Hang in there, brother.
Hang in there brother it isn't worth it.
Godspeed patriot-
People like yourself will be of great importance here in the states if things keep going down this stupid path. Stay strong.

I'm glad you had that message at the end. While Canada has been out of Afghanistan for quite a while and the memes are really funny, I just feel bad for the families of the 158 Canadian soldiers that died in service over there as peacekeepers. Its just like all the lives, training, effort, and money was a complete waste. Thanks for making content I enjoy watching, Brandon.
As an American, I always try to know what our Allies are up to in regards to warfare and peacekeeping. _Armée canadienne_ has my thanks for being well trained ass-kickers. 20 years ago, my older brother was in the Marine Corps and did some war games with Princess Patricia's Light Infantry. Said they were as solid as any Marine.
peace keepers?????? they went there to impose an american puppet government and system on them, so how they are peacekeepers????
@@zaeemrashid7952 supporting the Taliban is cringe
@@tkPuncake You're cringe.
@@tkPuncake straw man, in no way did he say he “supported the tailban”. We didn’t need to be be over there in the first place, now it’s even more apparent it was all for nothing. Old men started a war that young men died in. We need to end these meaningless wars
Also kudos for you for being a decent human at the end there. Not enough people think to check in on their friends as regularly as they should to begin with, but we also fail to always grasp what events may be causing them harm and we do need to be there for friends who've been in terrible situations made worse by recent events.
That message at the end, thanks Brandon.

To be honest I am terrified by how few checks and balances are taking this seriously. Very lest should be an impeachment trial to publicly discuss the issue with the known facts.
When the end of a Brandon Herrera video makes you cry, you know shits getting serious.
The message at the end is so so important.
"Where AK-FIFT-" *gets shot with AK-50*
"It wheel keel"

I can only imagine how many M4's I have indirectly bought by paying taxes
At least three
This is why I'm going to be a felon due to tax evasion and fraud
We should be getting this equipment, or at least the option to purchase it for cheap. Our government is showing they're tyrannical at this point for keeping rights restricted from us, but aiding our enemies.
@chad the club
imagine if our government armed us instead of terrorists
I agree with you about how upsetting this Afghanistan situation is. Thanks Brandon. Respect 👍👍
I have a dear friend who served in A-stan with the marine corps. He lost his (Biological) brother over there.
When Kabul fell, I called to check on him. He was having a tough day, but it was better than the day before. Hopefully they day after was better than the day before.
I'm trying to get a "Bro-Date" to happen camping with our SHTF gear, even before the fall of Kabul. Now that that mess has happened, Im working harder.
Papa Kalash, if you can come from the "Lone Stars" to the land of "Beer, Cheese, and Bratwurst" (AKA:Wisconsin), It would be a Bro-Date to remember..
Tell your friend a kid from the internet thanks him for his service, either that, or God bless him, he's a hero, even the strongest heros suffer losses, just tell him something.

Honestly appreciated that message at the end about the vets. One of my good buddies I used to work with was a marine deployed to afghanistan. He told me things he hadn’t told anyone before, because I’m in the army. It’s, fucking tragic the things he’s seen and the ptsd and nightmares he holds because our government continues to fail him and many other veterans.
I’ll give him a call and see if he wants to hang out sometime.
at least no one else is gonna have to suffer like your buddy does for America's sunk cost fallacy.

Thank you for what you said near the end
Me and my cousin are watching this and talking on discord. He served in the Rifles battalion (uk military)from 06 to 09, he was wounded in action in 09 he lost both his legs, his right arm and right eye as well as suffered brain damage. For the first time this week he was able to smile and laugh thanks to your video. I want to thank you Brandon for that
Please tell your cousin thank you for being such a tough human. Even though I don't know him I can still be proud of the Human race because there still are some " Good" ones out there, and lately the good ones seem much harder to find. Cheers from Nevada U.S.A.
Props to your cousin, and though it may be bittersweet, remind him that, at this hour, while US forces are sitting with their thumbs up their asses on the ground at Bagram, the Paras - yes, a completely different regiment, but his countrymen all the same - are still out there, running patrols, getting after it, and probably doing more for those stuck behind Taliban lines in platoon sized teams than the entire might of three US military divisions.
@Blandest_ 91 huh? Discord is hands down the best way to have organized chats with small groups of people, which is the best way to facilitate any kind of discussion.
Shit on it all you like I guess. The couple servers I'm in are very small & they've definitely helped me keep my sanity over the past year. If you had a bad experience, it leads me to believe you used it poorly.

The moment we set foot in Afghanistan we were always going to lose. The Taliban live there, they just had to wait for us to get bored and run away. Should never of gone in there in the first place.I was no fan of Mr Trump, but getting out of an unwinnable conflict was the right thing to do. Staying there would just put more people through the meat grinder for nothing.
@@patrickmooney5035 not a huge fan either. however i agree for the most part, with the exclusion that it really is just spitting in the face of all of the brave men and women who saw combat in those zones.
I broke down crying when I saw the news. 2 of my friends died overseas. I called my old battle buddies up and we felt horrible. We feel like our friends had died for nothing. Later on we came to the conclusion that they didn't die knowing what the outcome was going to be. They died thinking they had a purpose. If you have friends, or are a former vet, you aren't alone. Reach out to your battle buddies, talk to family.
Not a Former Vet but I always wanted to join the US Military, Now on my way to be an RN. But Your pain will never be for nothing. I was actually watching The Movie Benghazi and when it was done, the channel switch to the News, and there it was afghans falling from Hercules Type Aircraft, and the Taliban Taking over. I could not believe it!. This is something Big! the possible high amount of Hostages.
Learn who really cause 9/11 and you can direct your hate and sadness towards them.
@@MeanestManAlive No Hate here. It's weird I finished watching Benghazi and turn over to the news and this is going Live. It's just unthinkable.
@@MeanestManAlive one thing I learned. Its okay to be sad. After my time I don't hold hate. Idk I've learned to forgive to an extent, but ill always be sad
This is whyI never wanted to join the army to go to Afghanistan. I knew this would happen from day 1. I hate that it happened but we couldn't stay forever, we should have pulled out many years ago without wasting resources on training their military. Its not our country. Once we did what we went for it was time to leave.
Fair play mate telling people to call their vet pals

Welcome to online america.
Even though I’m a year late and underage, remeber this brought back some memories of seeing my favorite brother in law come back from deployments on the verge of suicide, just because he was in afganstian for most of the time we occupied it. He’s better now but this really broke him and he was in and out of mental hospitals for a while. He lost his dad and brother (dad in fallujah, brother in Afghanistan)
Nice shout out for vets... As a vet it's appreciated instead of the standard "thanks for your service" which at this point is an automatic response now
Just like Nic Cage said in Lord of War, it's cheaper for the US government to buy new stuff than move the old stuff out.
#AKGNotificationSquad
when I first watched it I thought it was a joke or a parody.
That is probably true. But always in the past under real leadership?....we would have at least piled it up and burned it or blew it up so it could not be used by our enemies against us.. all this shit was a gift or offering if you will..to the Taliban from the Fake President of the United States. Creepy Joe Potato head hiden Biden..
Good message at the end. The last two weeks definitely felt like a real slap in the face while the people in power don’t give a shit. Gotta be there for one another when possible and don’t be afraid to talk to others.
They have to go down.
That was an excellent video. Thank you
My assistant fire chief was shot, blown up by an IED and watched people die in his arms as a combat vet. I didn’t fully understand the insult and rage that this should bring about in all Americans until he admitted how much it was bothering him. I appreciate the message at the end there Brandon. It’s real important right now.
Brandon is really good with touchy subjects. It's sad to see that the Afghan army just let its country down. I'm saddened to see the mindless killing overseas and my heart goes out to all the lost lives. I'm glad we still have sympathy during this and I'm glad our troops are almost out of there.
Most Afghans are just tired. Most people in Afghanistan have rarely seen peace, 40+ years ago it was the Russians before that, the British, and now NATO. I don't blame them for not giving a f*ck anymore.
@@G33KSPALACEdotCOM Nor do I. War exhaustion is a real thing. I think it’s felt in the US too, the last 80 years have had us sending our boys to die overseas in a constant stream. Maybe it’s time we sit back and focus on ourselves, I dunno. We have a lot of issues at home, maybe we aren’t the best to fix them abroad.
The Military Industrial Complex made a huge killing over those 20 years. Copy/paste on CZcams:
"Taliban Afghan Hell - Was it All DELIBERATE???"
(My comments with URLs get shadow banned.)
The Afghan army didn’t let the country down. The USA built the army dependent on USA air support and backup. Biden dropped the air support and pulled the total foundation out from under what was built. They were left to slaughter and now 100,000 Afghan troops that not only put their life on the line, but their families are going to be mercilessly hunted down and killed like fish in a barrel.
Never expected papa kalash to like that holy shit.
"I want to get off Mr. Bones wild ride." what a reference.

@@uspockdad6429 no we didn't. The Taliban wouldn't have done anything if we had stayed, because they couldn't. They couldn't significantly mobilize at all within Afghanistan because the moment they did US jets would be dropping bombs on their heads. We knew where they were camped, which was away from major population centers, and we had surveillance on the roads around those areas watching for trucks and equipment. I don't disagree that Trump's deal with the Taliban was stupid, but Joe definitely had options, and on top of that the planning and execution of the pullout was all on Biden and he definitely botched that one.
@@uspockdad6429 Could have maybe *not just left billions of dollars in functioning hardware* when we left?
Like they could have *at least* booby-trapped or sabotaged the equipment, instead of just donating it.
Al guy that message with the top golf bro date at the end made my day
bring the memes!!!!!!!!! thanks bro for all you do
After seeing what the Sergeant Major of the Army said, that broke me. I was trying real hard to not care because of I've been out for years. But seeing what he wrote to try to raise moral amongst vets felt a slap to the face, then a kick to the balls and then a half hearted pat on the back.
I feel so invalidated and I feel like the laughing stock of the world after going to Afghanistan, walking away from 3 100+ pound IEDs, a base attack and God knows what else for this shit.
Basically to spread degenerate neoliberalism to the Middle East, and exploit them for resources at the same time. Sad but true. But listen brother, the same shit is happening HERE in America. Don't feel invalidated, just focus your efforts into fixing OUR HOME instead of trying to fix people across the world. We need people like you
@@oregrug2201 Precisely. Just one thing to add: Please don't let the disingenuous, corrupt lot of them bamboozle you by pinning this shit-show on just one particular group or administration, because that is precisely what they will try to do (And you can bet they'll conveniently try to tailor the exact "who" based on who's listening).
Remember those who set things in motion, remember those who fueled the fire, and remember those who stood by and did nothing while it was politically convenient. And, perhaps most important of all, remember who made bank.
It’s a stab in the back, slap to the face & a kick to the nutts, I’m pissed the F off & even madder after all the bs I have to come home & use F BS etc,
Hand tough brother the shtf is coming, unstoppable in fact
Semper Fi
I bet there were at least a couple times you missed getting killed and you never even knew it. Glad you back home now.
I mean every middle easterner or actually intellectual person have been telling yall that yall fighting in the middle east for no reason for like 10-15 years but yall kept saying, “i HaVe A PurPosE IN tHE aMericaN MiliTaRY!” I understand yall wanted to sling guns and look cool in camo but look where that got you all. Hope yall learn your government never had your best interest and yall were expendables
Finally I can learn about the news
God bless you, Brandon.
The US government should do a gun "buy back" from the Taliban! It works so well in the US inner cities.
😂😂😂
You sir need to run for office.
We don’t negotiate with terrorists, we just give them all the equipment🥸
We don’t negotiate with terrorists. We surrender unconditionally.
Funny how the man that said that ended up negotiating with said terrorists
For free
we dont need to negotiate "we surrender here take our guns you can have the country to just spare us and you can play president in yoiur sandhole of a country ! "
You guys are ignorant!
Thanks for the shout out to the Battle Buddies, here and gone…..👍👍👍
Talk to your friends. Coolest message a youtuber could throw out there. Good people B.H.
“Taliban flight school doesn’t cover landing” we were all thinking it so glad you said it. And to all the vets out there watching this, those of us who never served can’t know how your feeling about this but there are some of us who understand to an extent.
Never served, can't imagine what vets are thinking. I'd love to hear what some of them have to say, maybe a future video idea...?
Extreme anger. 9 people in my Company died during our 1 year deployment. 3 in my Squad. They're fucking cowards. Could only kill us with IEDs. They couldn't do shit in a firefight.
Furious. 2 years spent there in Helmand. I have no idea how to release the rage.
To Chris and Zac, again we can’t imagine and I don’t wanna even pretend like I could possibly understand just know that there are people out there who have supported everything that you all have done for us and know that there is support from the community here. At a total loss for words over this. I’m sure they were just annoying gnats in your ears that you completely crushed any and every opportunity. Stay strong and lean on those who will support you 🤜🏻
@@fancypants8929 call an talk to your brothers an talk to the ones you can't call. Thank you for everything.
The “squiggle squiggle” on that MRAP add does in fact say “Taliban,” so there is that.
time to buy a new MRAP for mudding purposes
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Very cool that Phil from All That Remains watches Brandon. Really love their older albums!
Last time I was this early, the C-17 haven’t broken any passenger transport record yet
But it was the source of the number #1 song in Kabul: It's Raining Men
@@Tadicuslegion78 Yup, that song definitely drop hard
@@uts_137 does that count as 'hits different'?
@@DefinitelyNotEmma Oh definitely
Man this comment and it’s replies are so good!
When he said “for about 20 years” I just aged a decade. Jesus.
Yeah I never stopped to think about the fact I was 2 years old when it started and now I just graduated undergrad, thats fucking wild
@@gregbagel791 I wasn't barely even born
I was born the day after 9/11 and I'm finishing college.
Have a nice day!
I would feel old if I wasn't 18. Wait, I'm an adult. Oh shit. The people my age are the next world leaders. We are fucked.
Yeah I know, I was born in '05, our troops have been in Afghanistan my whole life, this shit feels weird now
This fella has a knack for delivering these current events with a uniquely FUNNY Je No Se Qua!!
Can i just say, Kudos for the shoutout to contact someone that served! Hopefully it kicks a few people into gear to reach out, alittle goes a long way.
Me and the boys on our way to Afghanistan to get some f15’s and army rifles
"I have a couple hundreds of hours on f15 in DCS world, I'll be fine"
We didn't leave F-15s behind fortunately, but we did leave Blackhawks and a number of million dollar drones.
Out of luck bro I'm already here and everything's been picked through
@@setesh1294 The blackhawks were likely worn, but the drones... at least we left the cheap ones.
When Brandon was talking about buying old AK platforms from the taliban I was expecting him to say "but I shop on Amazon too" which would have been hilarious
Thanks for sharing Brandon. Its a shame that due to blood thirsty taxation, I can't even afford that burnt out 1970's AK.
thanks you for taking the time to tell us to call someone
My heart goes out to the veterans of Afghanistan. I can't even imagine the existential crisis each vet is facing right now. They sacrificed everything, many gave their lives for what they thought was a good cause, they thought they'd brought good into the world. Just to be let down by the same people who ordered them into combat in the first place. Im sorry guys.
Its the same as the vietnam vets, thinking at least their sacrifice would stop the North to spread its regime over the south...
They actually built a new nation. The young people there are protesting and many Afghan soldiers went to the Northern Alliance that want to fight the Taliban and live in a part that has never been conquered by the Taliban.
If they already had no concerns about what they had done was for the good of anyone.
Me: *Sees Afghan special meme review*
Also me: “Oh God…”
My friend just came back with a missing arm a week before the pullout he's livid
I love the Brandon parenting moments
