“It’s not my business so why should I have an opinion about it”. That’s how you get along with people who are different than you. Super respectable and I wish we all would learn to do this more often.
The reason the owner said he needed the license for the G36 is that fully automatic weapons (it keeps firing as long as you keep the triggered pulled) are not legal without such a license. Semi automatics (one shot every time you pull the trigger) are generally legal.
The G36 is a dealer sample. It is something that he can demonstrate to Law Enforcement customers who are interested in buying them. That's why he said that he has to surrender it if he gives up his dealer license
The 'license" is called a Tax Stamp that is issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), after a background investigation and paying a one-time fee of $200.
Post '86 fully automatics. There are still "tranferrable," pre-86 fully automatics that any law abiding citizen can purchase with enough money. There are two other methods for obtaining FA firearms though. One is to set up a gun trust. The other is to purchase the firearms through an LLC wherein the company owns the guns and they are available for use by any officer of the company.
Here in Texas and I know several other states that when I grew up we went to school with rifles and or shotguns in a rack in the back window of our pickups. Can’t do that anymore. Just recently we voted our open carry back in. We haven’t had that in a long time , especially without a permit.
@@sssigsauer2266 Yea I live in Arizona and you don't need a permit to carry because Arizona is an open carry state and that's one of the reasons why I live here
@@nathanael423 and thank god for that too. We’ve had the government controlling our pistols here in Texas since reconstruction right after the War of Northern Aggression. I Kidd you not its been that long. We could do our rifles and shotguns and you could go anywhere when I was younger. It’s funny we had that going on where you could have maybe 20 or so rifles out in the parking lot of a school and nobody ever thought “ I’m gonna go shoot up school” it just didn’t happen back then. I really wonder what changed so much. Anyway I wish you much heath and happiness there in AZ, stayed in Gila bend for a while one time. Ran fiber optic cable back in the 80’s from Scottsdale to Yuma. Finally found a place in buckeye to stay, that was a rough summer. Have a great week and the best to you and yours.
Us too in Louisiana. We all had guns in our vehicles at school. We would get in a quick duck hunt before school or leave straight from school to make an afternoon hunt for small game or deer. It was just a normal part of life. Hell, I remember teachers giving extra credit for students plucking their ducks, lol. I also remember a high school football game where our head coach was gifted a Benelli shotgun on the field after we won a playoff game. I had no idea the rest of the country or world was not like my small southern town until I got out and did some traveling.
@@cjr4497 same here, I thought that the ones running mostly with a lot more country than cities would be about the same. I think Michigan out in the country like I said was the same Wyoming, Montana, Georgia and all throughout the south was the same. So with probably the larger portion of the country I’m guessing. What happened to us I wonder that the kid we were vs The kids now doing all this stuff to people in the same school. I don’t think anybody is getting more bullied than the earlier kids. I’m just curious what has caused the to happen in today’s schools. Anyway you have a great week,
Coming from someone here in America I must say. Saying "we don't have the issue over here so we can't share or have an opinion on it" is one of the most respectful, mature, and wise things I've ever heard someone admit. It bugs the hell out of me when people who don't have the same issues try to weigh in and tell us how we should act with something we live with and they don't so much much SO MUCH respect for you guys to take that stance, whether or not that's how you truly feel, using that as your "I'm not getting into this conversation here and now" scape-goat is awesome. big props to you. I appreciate ya'll for that one.
American history is intertwined with the idea of an armed populace. It is never going away. If other countries don’t understand it that’s fine, just say so. Bolivia is not Japan is not America is not France. Each history is different.
THIS is exactly why i stay out of anything having to do with family planning - i do not have the pluming to have any opinion or right to tell anyone what they can or cannot do with their own body
Being raised in the southern u.s. it's interesting to see people's reactions to firearms, doing this in the backyard. Nothing to be scared of , just have to respect the capability of what it can do!
Lived in Vermont my father was on B-24 WW2. The Holster for their 1911 kept it under their arm for freedom of movement. I was about 9 years old when I started wearing it and it was at my waist. I carried that 45 on my waist for 3 or 4 years except when I went to school. He drilled Gun safety into my head.
Gun ranges are everywhere in the free states. My cousin (now retired) owned a gun shop and collaborated with a local gun range to sponsor a yearly machine-gun shoot with the proceeds going to charities that help people with Downs Syndrome. There is a gun range outside of Louisville Kentucky (Knob Creek Gun Range) that regularly has machine-gun shoots. Sometimes they have them at night and use tracers/incendiary ammunition which makes it really spectacular.
I have two RUclipsrs I think you should check out. Brandon Herrera is in Texas, and has a channel in his name he started several years ago. He has a huge collection of guns. He shows various ones, explains how they function, and are they legal to own without special licensing. He shows himself firing various weapons, and describes what he experiences with each one. He also has episodes showing times things have gone very wrong for other people, so we can see the importance of proper handling. Colion Noir discusses laws, and various times when guns have been either used for good, or for bad. Viewing a few episodes of those two channels can give you a great deal of insight to American use of firearms. By the way, Brandon Herrera is running for Congress.
Many of us would be willing to take them to the range and to let them fire our weapons. We have six different rifles and four different pistols. Would give them quite the variety to try on their first time learning to fire a weapon. Bolt action, lever action, semi-auto, from .22, 380, 9 mil, 45 colt, and 5.56 with varying levels of weight and kick. Large pistols and smaller concealed carry pistols. Each one having its own purpose. It’s not scary if you get some safety training, gun handling instruction, and are taught body position and proper sighting.
As a TEXAN, I’m glad y’all are coming here for one, two, your enthusiasm to shoot is great. Half the U.K. RUclipsrs I’ve seen come here don’t take advantage of the great opportunity that you may never experience again. It’s absolutely a big part of our culture and in my opinion a must try if you want to really get the full reason why we are very pro gun. It’s part of who we are. Relax and let the pros walk you through it. It’s no more dangerous than driving a car if you learn the rules of the road. You don’t see many first timers walk away without a smile. Women do very well.
@@michaelhill1708couldn’t agree more. 2 out of my 3 sons share my political views. My third is the complete opposite. That being said they all 3 were exposed to firearms very young g. They all started at the age of 5. Only 1 chooses not to own as an adult. I did not want to deny them the opportunity to experience it. I never understood how a parent tells a child no to push their own agenda. I tried to raise my son right. To make their own decisions when they became adults. They all based their choices on the subject based off of experience and the emotions around it. I can’t get mad at that
I am from Alabama . I have taught 3 of my 4 kids gun safety and how to fire different types of firearms . My 6 year old is learning on a pellet rifle now and will be getting her first .22 caliber rifle in a couple of months , then move up calibers when she is comfortable
I’m up in Washington and it is the same for me. All 3 of my sons were learning from around the age of 5. Started on a 22lr and worked their way up. In all honesty I believe all of them had experience with just about everything in my safes by the time they were 10. 22, 9mm, 45, 556, 30-30, 454, 357, 308, 30-06, 762, 7mm. They sampled it all. Each had their own preferences for handgun and rifle calibers. I believe gun safety is actually teaching children the right from wrong. Not just locking it in a safe and saying don’t touch. Having being brought up to respect and know right from wrong will always be a better option then telling someone no
Flying shells: one of many reasons to be wearing eye protection while you shoot. One thing I really like about the instructor is his care for safety. While I think most places are careful like this, it's hugely important to me to see them walk the walk.
Office Bloke: *completely misses targets* Instructor: "I haven't sighted that that one in so I don't know..." Office Bloke: *continues to miss targets* Instructor: "If you're not hitting 'em, you're scaring 'em real bad." Nicest, kindest instructor in the world 🤣
This old man has some bad trigger finger discipline. He also aimed down on the table right in front of him with finger on the trigger when he instructed the visitors not to do so. More money and age than he has in skills, sadly.
He also didn't teach and enforce proper cheek weld and stance when handing people fully automatic guns. While himself didn't stand in the correct position and support the visitor's shoulder while prepared to take control should anything go wrong. A huge bloody accident can happen should someone fall backward(pushed by recoil) when holding the trigger down(nervous). I teach people from time to time, and I'm not even a 'certified instructor' to spot those problems.
He also gave people a KSG without any sight, so they were shooting over the backstop. If it was loaded with slugs, that can be lethal for hundreds of yards. Even buckshot has some range it can hurt people and animals. I would have asked for a refund, leave, and never go back. Even one safety red flag is already too many.
@@JohnZ556You have zero idea what you’re talking about. Private range with some friends that they didn’t pay a dime to shoot at. You’re seeing 20 minutes of a 5 hour day. The backstop is about 45 feet high with nothing behind but trees for about 2000 yards…no rounds even approached the halfway mark. Oh and the KSG was loaded with target rounds. Take yourself less seriously, your days will be better. 👍
@@phillipmartin5929 First of all I owned a KSG for years, so I know exactly how bad it would be without any sight. All you said after are basically excuses doing things less safe and less appropriate. Paid or not is irrelevant, those shouldn't happen. Glad to hear they got some ground beyond the backstop and they did target loads, still not a valid excuse to set up people to shoot over it. I hate fudd range rules, but breaking two out of four rules of firearm safety while being an instructor and handling firearm on fully automatic mode is on another level. Safety aside. You might be treating your guests just like that. But I won't be so rude by doing things I just told my guests to not do. Giving my guests guns without sight, sights wildly not zeroed, or let them keep doing awkward and incorrect weapons manipulation and stance. No, I don't ever want to witness anything that can end up on a 'gun fail compilation' or 'Darwin's award'. You be you. Have fun.
-As a former police officer and range officer, a gun isn't anything to fear, but be respected. If you keep the weapon pointed down range and LISTEN to what the range officer tells you, you'll be ok and should have an enjoyable time -Daz and his family actually lived in the states for about 12 years. His sons technically have birthright to citizenship cause they were born in the US. This isn't their first time in the States. They lived mostly in Jersey and then moved to Texas before moving to Dubai because his company had an opening there. -A Type 07 FFL License allows a person to make guns to sell, as opposed to a Type 01 license only allows you to sell guns as a firearms dealer and/or be a gunsmith. It's a 3 year license that needs to be renewed. A type 03 the easiest to get is a collector of curio and relics. Can't sell them, but they can get weapons shipped directly to their homes. There are a few more, but those are the basics. It's not because of rarity of the weapon, it's because it's an automatic weapon which is illegal to own unless you have a federal license. -Supressors help reduce recoil, which allows for faster and more accurate follow-up shots. It also reduces the light emitted from it being fired. It doesn't slow the bullet down, but because it makes the muzzle longer it actually increases the speed because of increased pressure. - 20:41 Naw, aiming it she doesn't have it straight. She's aiming the rear sights and not lining the rear sights with the front sight.
If ya'll are going to be in Texas, it will be really easy to find a great range. I recommend an outside range, and to go on a slow day, like a Monday. A somewhat empty range is definitely less intimidating for a beginner. Or, you can book a private session, like this video, if you don't mind spending a bit more money. Either way, you'll have a great time. And someone will always be patrolling the lanes to guide you and answer your questions. As soon as you walk up to the counter the guy will notice your accents, assume your beginners, and you'll get the entire safety rundown lol.
I watch these guys as often as I watch you!! Love the Office Blokes, love Daz's family, and love you guys!!! Brits who love America, can't go wrong, lol 😁
This is like the perfect set up. I dont go to indoor ranges because I honestly dont trust being surrounded by inexperienced folks handling firearms. Very different experience, in my opinion.
Add onto the fact that indoor ranges are significantly louder than outdoor ones. The increased noise can be a detriment to those new to shooting from my experience.
The younger guy in the hat is indeed the son and you can hear a woman in the back saying “that’s the American blood” when he kept hitting the targets, because he was born in the U.S. as his mom and dad (Daz and Gaynor) lived in the USA for a few years. So he indeed does have both countries blood running through him 😊
You guys should reach out to some of the gun youtubers for help and info on where to go when you do it. If you're doing it in Texas Brandon Herrera and I believe demoranch both live there
I really hope you go to a range while you’re here! No need to worry. Just wear your eye and ear protection, pay attention to the rules of the range, and you’ll have fun!
They had good instructors that took the time to explain things instead of just letting them go shoot. Also they started them out a smaller caliber and worked up to larger calibers. Nothing disappoints me more than some jackass giving a first timer a weapon that will knock them on their ass.
Yeah, that's annoyed me about some of those first time videos. Then they tend to come out reinforced in their stance against it, in large part because of that. 😑
@@Gutslinger It's been years now but I got to see that happening one day. Some boyfriend showing his girl how manly he was with his 40cal pistol...she was a first-timer. When she started flinching I offered my .22 plinker but he turned it down. When he ran out of ammo and went inside to get more I offered her the .22...what do you know, by the time he got back on the range, she liked shooting the .22. He just gave me a flat stare...LOL...jackass. (Apparently YT thinks AH not directed at anyone is offensive...AHs).
My only issue with the instructor was him not showing them proper grip with the hand guns. Everyone was "tea cupping" and the recoil was out of control.
There's an old saying; "A person with a gun is a citizen, a person without a gun is a subject". "Silencer" is a misnomer. The device is called a "Suppressor". It suppresses the sound, and the muzzle flash.
@@joshua3113 They are often showed on revolvers. Nope. They hardly do anything on a revolver, the gap between the cylinder and the barrel defeats the purpose.
If you like what Daz did in Alabama and you're going to visit Texas anyway, you ought to visit Drive Tanks near San Antonio. It will be a blast not only driving and firing all the vehicles, but the impressive collection of vintage historical machineguns they have.
Some folks hobbies are bowling, softball, running,or going to the gym. Going to the range with your weapons is also a hobby. Im at the range at least once a week
@@Brandi6666 I grew up around guns my dad used to hunt but I was never into gun culture I was more of a fishing type of guy but I remember this one time I was coming back from highschool basketball game with some friends I was in the back seat kinda dozing off and I'm awaken to these idiots shooting out the window into wooded area it was in the back roads of Florida but I was like the hell are you guys doing shooting as you drive ...those are the type of people I was referring to idiots that treat it as a toy
A few rules that NEED to be followed. #1 it's ALWAYS LOADED. Treat it like its always loaded. #2 Keep your booger hook off the bang switch. Only put your finger in the trigger guard when you are firing the weapon. #3 ALWAYS keep your weapon pointed down range.
"Always keep the barrel pointed in a safe direction." It's so ingrained in my head that I don't even have to think about it, because it's second nature. Even when I know the gun isn't loaded.
@@Gutslingerit’s so ingrained in mine that I do it with tools on the job site . I find myself not even pointing a screw gun in anyone’s direction. I can’t help it🤷♂️
22s don't have as much kick. Shotguns have a good kick, and bigger bullet rounds have a bigger kick. My late husband had a 480 revolver. I could only shoot it 2 times. It hurt my hand. My 22 I could shoot all day. Ful auto is fun. Or even simi auto. Also there are different sights. Iron sites, scope, red dot.
I've had similiar experiences... I go with hubby once in a while, He goes several times a year to local gun range to keep the guns clean and working well. AR15 is fun.. but a bit scary. I don't care for the larger revolver, kick back is tough.. but with a smaller hand gun I'm fine with. Don't stand in the way of the discharged casings, by the way.. they come out hot.
Das shooing that 45 sub machine gun full auto is a pretty good example of why fully automatic weapons are actually pretty terrible when it comes to accuracy. In order to keep the weapon on target he had to keep letting off the trigger because the barrel of the gun naturally wants to climb.
Feeling focused/aware when handling firearms is completely normal, and good. It’s like learning to drive a car - you want a beginner to feel slightly nervous. It means they take it seriously. You will do fine in the US.
That "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" comment was from the 1980 movie, Apocolypse Now. I was USAF in South Korea and that was one of the very few newly released movies that we got in the base theatre while I was there.
Joel and Lia (from RUclips) went to a gun range in the U.S. and Lia stupidly aimed the gun at Joel’s chest when she wasn’t paying attention. She’s lucky she didn’t accidentally shoot or he would have been dead. The guy supervising them nearly had a heart attack when he saw it.
That woman is a borderline airhead! I saw her waving that pistol around like a drunken fool. The range master should have escorted her out the door. What she did was equivalent to driving drunk on a busy highway. A gun doesn't have brains. You expect the one holding it to have a little similance of having one.
Millie and Jimmy, see if you can find a video of someone shooting Black Powder. A lot of noise and smoke, but less recoil. A .50 caliber BP rifle at 100 yards can wreck a lot of havoc on gallon jugs of water.
Joel and Lia are pretty stupid anyway, so it's not surprising Lia would do that. If Joel, God forbid, had been shot, she would have blamed it on the gun culture in America and not her own carelessness and stupidity.
The license he was referring to was a category of gun dealer. He is licensed to sell to law enforcement, so he has access to guns that civilians can't legally own. You can own full automatic weapons in the US, but they passed a law in 1986 that machine guns manufactured after the date of the law could no longer be transferred into civilian ownership. That G-36 was made after that, so if he stopped being a dealer, he would either transfer it to another dealer that possessed that kind of license, or demilitarize the weapon, usually by cutting up the receiver.
Another way to control a runaway gun (which is a freak occurrence, typically only happening with semi or full auto guns that have gotten so hot by continuous firing; usually hundreds of rounds in one sitting; to the point of rounds “cooking off” inside the chamber, causing the next round to be loaded, and then that one to be fired, and so on) and which I was taught in the Army; is to just drop the magazine. If it’s a belt fed machine-gun; just twist the belt so it won’t feed or just snap off the links. Basically, get rid of the source of ammo, and you no longer have a runaway gun. Being nervous about shooting for the first time because you might have a runaway gun is the equivalent of being nervous about driving for the first time because someone might crash into you if you drive 120mph on the wrong side of the highway. Like yeah, you’re technically not wrong, but to even get to that point you would have to go so wrong and so far out of your way to land yourself in that situation. Being from Alabama myself, it’s a friendly place, and guns just so happen to be abundant. I myself collecting several dozen examples, mainly of the military surplus variety. If you find yourself in the States, I’d recommend going to a nice indoor range and picking out a .22 or a 9mm to rent and try out there. It’s an exciting experience you don’t want to miss, that you’ll never forget, and that you can always brag about to your mates back home
The range master is covering worst case scenarios. You should be nervous, it is something you should respect and isn't for everyone. I appreciate your willingness to try. Love your channel and hope you enjoy your trip to the States
Better safe than sorry though. So focus their attention on that it could happen and they need to remember what to do if it does. And I’m sure the few times it actually happened to him were very memorable.
Yeah, a lot of instructors tend to overstate the potential ways things can go wrong, because they're trying to impress on people the importance of safety. Unless you're doing something outside the norm or are using sketchy handloaded ammo, the chances of a gun catastrophically failing are vanishingly small. Most malfunction are feed problems which just cause the gun to jam and do nothing. Worth knowing what to do just in case you're the one in a million, but not really worth getting yourself all anxious over. It's like getting struck by lightning; something to consider before you walk out onto a golf course in the middle of a thunderstorm, but as long as you're not being stupid about it the chances of it happening are far too remote to be worth losing sleep over.
I think about how some 44,000 people die in auto accidents every year, yet people aren't scared to death of vehicles. Guns and vehicles just need to be treated with respect and not misused.
@@butchbunde8990i had one happen to me when I was 16, it was a semi auto but there was a malfunction in the cycling that prevented the gun from stopping the hammer from hitting again immediately, 4 bullets with one trigger pull
@The Beesleys I'm a gun tuber here in south Texas. If y'all head down to Corpus Christi on the coast I'd be happy to take y'all out to the range with my extensive firearms collection for a range day!
I really like the Range Master, his instructions were on point when they will be using automatic weapons. To me semiautomatic arms are more manageable. When you come to Texas enjoy yourselves we have a lot to experience.
Spent a few years in the military never had or heard of a weapon keep firing after the finger was off the trigger, and this gentleman has had it happen many times. I guess you learn something everyday.
The G36 is only available to dealers due to the Hughes Amendment, which closed the federal NFA registry for fully automatic firearms on 19 May 1986. The G36 didn't exist until the mid 90s, so it cannot be owned legally except by someone who deals in automatic weapons. That person or entity can only sell to police departments, government agencies, and military groups. For a better understanding, google "Hughes Amendment", Firearms Owners Protection Act, and National Firearms Act of 1934.
We need to repeal the NFA. We the people should be allowed without any interference to own FULL AUTO. Shall not be infringed doesnt mean...as long as its not Full Auto.
While I agree and gave you a thumbs up, I will also say that there really isn't a valid use for full auto. I've talked with people in the US military, and the only reason they ever use it is as a distraction. However, our 2A has been infringed on, and that's a problem.
@@spyrus_4359that's not exactly true friend. I recommend watching people use full auto in competitive shooting stages. Low cyclical rates and smaller calibers are easily controlled. Yeah, not for 300 yard precision shots but across the living room and it's not even comparable with semi autos as far as effectiveness. Trust but verify, military guy's are great sources of information but sometimes you get a crayon chewer too. 🖖
Eh, (waves his hand to the side). I have little need for fire suppression. I consider that the primary use for full auto. The police should not have them either. At some point, there is truth in the anti-gun fears. How many times have we seen folks shooting full auto and suddenly they say, "now I feel like a god!" Or stupid crap like that? Don't think full auto is.... practical.
@@armstrong2052 I actually find your comment to be offensive. The man who told me that spent 20 years in Army Infantry, and did 4 tours in Iraq. He has cried many times telling me the stories of those tours, but "crayon chewers"? I can't rely on my father because he was just an Air Force Colonel, and only needed to qualify with a pistol. Still, your comment is disrespectful to our military
When he said "I like the smell of napalm in the morning. He was quoting a line from the movie "Apocalypse now." A must watch movie about Vietnam. Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen, Dennis Hopper and other great actors are in it.
I saw that someone in the comment section suggested getting in touch with one of the Gun-tuber channels might be a good idea and I think I saw that Brandon Herrera's name was brought up which would be an outstanding option if he could find the time between running for a congressional seat, running his business and producing you-tube content. A couple of other good ones would be Warrior Poet Society or Mr Gunsngear, they both have that mentoring style that I think would benefit someone new to firearms and shooting. Great video and I enjoyed watching your reactions.
1911s are popular because people are stupid. Real, OG, 1911s are rickety inaccurate pieces of shit that generally always go boom. Modern 1911s are machined to ridiculous tolerances to make them accurate. Just but a Glock.
I have never heard of a runaway and I have been shooting for 50+ years. I remember taking my niece outback to shoot. She came back in with a huge smile on her face.
It's called a "cook off" and is generally a problem after high volumes of fire in weapons that fire from the closed bolt. This is why most machine guns fire from the open bolt. Guns that fire from the closed bolt chamber a round after each shot. That round can become super heated in the chamber and go off. Weapons that fire from the open bolt only chamber a round right as the weapon is fired. This takes a huge volumes of fire in a short period of time so few people run into the issue. Burning through 10) 20rd mags in a speed challenge mag dump could do it. Most cook offs take a minute or more to happen but in an severely overheated weapon it can happen quite quickly.
@@JesseLJohnsona year or so ago there was a guy at my local range firing full-auto. As I left he was talking to the RSO, saying that he'd had some trigger work done and the full-auto was unexpected. I don't know what kind of gun it was, but it wasn't supposed to be full-auto. Maybe the firing pin jammed so he got slam-fire??
@JoeBLOWFHB he isn't talking about cook offs but a runaway completely different in fact no one said anything that could be miscommunication as a cook off so maybe learn a little before trying to teach others
Suppressers, often called silencers, don't silence the gun like they do in the movies. With a suppresser on the shot is as loud and clapping your hands as hard as you can next to your ear. With out it is is as loud as a firework going off.
Just remember to ask about the four rules of gun safety and if they don’t mention it ask about it because I saw a Brit go and she about shot her friends
@@warrendavis9262 yeah sometimes I saw that and shook my head all I know is you would think it is common sense that a device that sends a deadly projectile out a hole that you would automatically know not to point it at someone but people need to be reminded and shown that safety has to be at the top of everyone’s mind and know that not to put your finger on the trigger
I will always say go and do something once but pay attention when the serious conversation starts because you can die if you don’t pay attention to what you are doing you don’t have to like it but you must respect it so all I have to say is have fun and stay safe
I am from Texas. I was in Scotland a few months ago and I had many great conversations with lots of wonderful people and no one asked me about guns. It was great. BTW I can't wait to go back.
I'm a 77-year-old American who only shot guns when I was in the Air Force (2991 days) and was required to do so for weapons qualification. I worked on airborne radio and radar navigation equipment, not guns. Being right-handed, left eye dominant made this a real hoot, as they forced me to shoot left-handed (this was in the late 60s early 70s).
I lived a parallel life to yours apparently. I am also left-eye dominant but right handed. My usaf service was in satcom , not exactly nav-aids, but close. 1450 ish days
I'm also right hand, left eye dominant and I hate it lol. I might actually be no eye dominant, which sort of helps, but if I shoot rifles I just shoot right handed with my left eye closed or almost closed. I don't care if I lose spacial awareness, I'm not using a damn lefty gun lol.
Right handed left eye dominant here as well. I also have an astigmatism in both eyes that make red dots look like a star burst and unusable. Years shooting rifles with iron sights or scopes actually helped me be able to transition from right to left when I got micro prism sights. I also have acquired the effect I can’t remember the name of , but basically my brain transfers the reticle from which ever eye is looking through the prism over to the that isn’t.. Some people have to train a lot to develop this from what I understand, but it came to me naturally with prism scope…. I can actually effectively train for CQB with a rifle now which is something I thought I’d never be able to do… I see it as basically turning handicaps into an advantage.. I think it was way easier for me to learn to shoot lefty then learning to transition than if I would have learned to shoot right then transition to left.
When I was 17 and 18 my older brother took me to the range several times. It was a great experience and it helped me when I joined the Army a couple years later earn my expert weapons badge.
As for the special license, to keep the gun. Is because Fully Automatic Guns were outlawed in 1936, the law was passed to keep machine guns out of the hands of gangsters
The irony is that law happened after prohibition ended, and we all are paying for the misdeeds of gangsters in the form of having our human rights infringed. The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves.
Funny to me. People get so nervous around and firing firearms. Yet get into a 6000lb steel killing machine an drive it 80mph. Without a second thought.
It's been a while since you've done any NASCAR reactions but I think you should react to the finish of this past weekend's NASCAR race in Atlanta. It's one of the greatest finishes in NASCAR history.
It’s a lot of fun. It’s just important to have good instructors that will keep you safe. You don’t hear the sound that loudly. That’s what the ear protection is for.
When I was in high school we all had our shotguns and rifles in our vehicles on school grounds. We would show off our guns to teachers and even do class presentations on them. We would even get in a quick duck hunt on school mornings when the ducks were down in mass. Times have changed for sure.
I took hunters safety when I was I think 13 or 14 in Michigan. So I could get my dear license. There were 4 rules that they taught me. Then I still used today 1 Always Treat a gun like it's loaded. Even though You know it's not. 2. Never point a gun at anything. Unless You want to kill it. Or make it explode. 3. Never put your finger on the trigger until you ready to pull it. 4. Always know. What's behind your target. William s
OB Daz is an international man of mystery 😂. Joking, but he and his wife, Gaynor, and two sons, Aidan (in this video), and Declan, have lived in a lot of places. They lived in New Jersey and Texas for a good while, and that's where they had Aidan and Declan, so both are U.S. citizens. So, really, Aidan is finally exercising his Second Amendment right, lol. They're an awesome family. This was when they came over here back around Thanksgiving '23.
Just to clarify about the G36. The license is required because it is a "modern" machine gun. Civilians can't own them, but a properly licensed dealer can have them in stock for sale to certain customers - the police, for example. The only machine guns civilians can legally own are those that were registered with the US government (ATF) before May 19, 1986. And they're expensive because the supply is limited and getting smaller. Also, there is a hefty tax/fee that has to be paid to the US government to acquire one. In addition, local laws have to allow it or you can't have it. (And the local police have to be informed that you have it - it's taken pretty seriously.) Despite the hassles, there are collectors with lots of mone and some really amazing weapons here in the US.
A buddy of mine in Wyoming said during our call "hold on...I have a mountain lion circling my horse barn". That is a 200 pound alpha predator trying to kill thousands of dollars worth of horses, maybe also cows, sheep, chickens, hogs, and then come for the humans. He went out with an assault rifle and drove the thing away. Do you want to go after such a potent, agile killing machine in the dark night with a tiny pistol and just 6 bullets? Heck no. You need serious firepower to preserve your own life, prevent horrible injury to helpless animals, and protect your young family and property.
Hey, we have this kitten outside named Nimbus and he gives that look just outside our door that says if we don't toss the salmon out, bad things will happen. Scary, man.
The dad seems cool but Aiden is annoying and thinks too highly of himself I remember when they reacted to rodeo video he said bull riding wasnt hard that he could do it without practice and the mom seems like the type that talks bad about america when shes not on camera
You'll have a fine time. I should note: *Seems there is allot of suppressor use, here. Even with a suppressor, guns are louder than you think. Especially in someplace you'd consider quiet [ As compared to the constant noise of a city.] *Pay attention to your safety briefing and do not be afraid to ask for clarification. *I wouldn't be overly concerned about weight. Extra mass reduces recoil. It is your friend. If you wish to avoid fatigue from holding a gin on target; start lifting a 7-10Lb {roughly 3.2 - 4.5 Kilograms} weight for several minutes a day. Until it feels easy.
In the US, if you go to an indoor gun range, a range officer will help you with everything. You can rent nearly any rifle or pistol you'd like. Then, purchase the ammo for it. They have ear/eye protection available, usually for free. Then, you buy the paper target. The range officer will be with you and instruct you if you haven't ever fired a firearm before. These indoor ranges have strict safety rules. Yes, outdoor ranges might not be as intensely loud. Yes, you might have more space, but if you arent familiar with the area and able to find somone to go with you to an outdoor range, an indoor range is more accessible.
In Georgia, it's cathartic to go to a range with a spreadsheet now and then. Or skeet shooting. Go to an indoor range if you want to try small ones, or outdoor for a rifle, or a skeet business where you can learn, then practice, yelling "Pull!"
I was introduced to rockets as a kid, don't know if that is a thing in the UK... basically we would build rocket kits and try to get to higher altitudes. Great physics tests, and I got into archery and slingshots and eventually firearms with the same love of the science behind it. It's so awesome to have the freedom to do that stuff.
We have lots of outdoor public gun ranges here where I live , 3 outdoor ranges within 25 miles ( 40 km 2 indoor public ranges , one of them is a restaurant Bombshells Ales & BBQ's has a gun range called Bare Arms Shooting Range . Only in America
yup, of course the instructor hit the big one early... muzzle awareness, even if you mess up several other safety steps if you keep it pointed at the backstop you can keep the danger down to just scaring any pants in the vicinity clean off the wearers from an unexpected discharge.
I'd like to see them listen a bit more to the instructor's advice and improve their trigger discipline, but overall well done Family Daz!! Rack that scatter gun like you mean it, son! Welcome to America, Land of the Free and Home of the Brave!
To many Americans a gun is a tool, no diffrent than an axe or hammer. It can be used to harvest food or defend against predators. Just like all those axe throwing places it can be used for entertainment and competition.
His wife worried me when she was pointing the pistol down and shooting into the ground. Lol Even worse when they tried to correct her and she denied them and continued to point and shoot it down further. 🤦🏽♂️
Something to keep in mind, there are only two ways to buy a full-auto gun. You have to either be company with a class III FFL License (which this man is) or you have to buy Pre-1986 tranferable guns which range from 5,000 to 50,000 dollars each. Those prices only increase each years much like classic cars. Each shot is a matter of cents to north of 5 dollars per single round fired for the ammo.
This was great. I'll preface my comments by saying that I'm an American (Washington state) that grew up with firearms. Once you get to shoot some and get comfortable with them, you'll definitely have an opinion on them. And very likely a positive one. 👍 When you do, have a great time and stay safe. Oh, and welcome to the US.🙂
“It’s not my business so why should I have an opinion about it”. That’s how you get along with people who are different than you. Super respectable and I wish we all would learn to do this more often.
Exactly, who cares if they get porked 88 ways from Sunday with VAT tax, and TVs cost twice as much there because the EU needs their grift.
The reason the owner said he needed the license for the G36 is that fully automatic weapons (it keeps firing as long as you keep the triggered pulled) are not legal without such a license. Semi automatics (one shot every time you pull the trigger) are generally legal.
That’s the overreach of the government in effect. There should be no regulations.
The G36 is a dealer sample. It is something that he can demonstrate to Law Enforcement customers who are interested in buying them. That's why he said that he has to surrender it if he gives up his dealer license
Cannot be in possession of a full auto firearm without being Federal Firearms Licensed.
The 'license" is called a Tax Stamp that is issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), after a background investigation and paying a one-time fee of $200.
Post '86 fully automatics. There are still "tranferrable," pre-86 fully automatics that any law abiding citizen can purchase with enough money. There are two other methods for obtaining FA firearms though. One is to set up a gun trust. The other is to purchase the firearms through an LLC wherein the company owns the guns and they are available for use by any officer of the company.
when we were teenagers we walked around town with our shotguns and rifles on our way out to the local woods, no one batted an eye, it was just normal.
Here in Texas and I know several other states that when I grew up we went to school with rifles and or shotguns in a rack in the back window of our pickups. Can’t do that anymore. Just recently we voted our open carry back in. We haven’t had that in a long time , especially without a permit.
@@sssigsauer2266 Yea I live in Arizona and you don't need a permit to carry because Arizona is an open carry state and that's one of the reasons why I live here
@@nathanael423 and thank god for that too. We’ve had the government controlling our pistols here in Texas since reconstruction right after the War of Northern Aggression. I Kidd you not its been that long. We could do our rifles and shotguns and you could go anywhere when I was younger. It’s funny we had that going on where you could have maybe 20 or so rifles out in the parking lot of a school and nobody ever thought “ I’m gonna go shoot up school” it just didn’t happen back then. I really wonder what changed so much. Anyway I wish you much heath and happiness there in AZ, stayed in Gila bend for a while one time. Ran fiber optic cable back in the 80’s from Scottsdale to Yuma. Finally found a place in buckeye to stay, that was a rough summer. Have a great week and the best to you and yours.
Us too in Louisiana. We all had guns in our vehicles at school. We would get in a quick duck hunt before school or leave straight from school to make an afternoon hunt for small game or deer. It was just a normal part of life. Hell, I remember teachers giving extra credit for students plucking their ducks, lol. I also remember a high school football game where our head coach was gifted a Benelli shotgun on the field after we won a playoff game. I had no idea the rest of the country or world was not like my small southern town until I got out and did some traveling.
@@cjr4497 same here, I thought that the ones running mostly with a lot more country than cities would be about the same. I think Michigan out in the country like I said was the same Wyoming, Montana, Georgia and all throughout the south was the same. So with probably the larger portion of the country I’m guessing. What happened to us I wonder that the kid we were vs The kids now doing all this stuff to people in the same school. I don’t think anybody is getting more bullied than the earlier kids. I’m just curious what has caused the to happen in today’s schools. Anyway you have a great week,
Coming from someone here in America I must say. Saying "we don't have the issue over here so we can't share or have an opinion on it" is one of the most respectful, mature, and wise things I've ever heard someone admit. It bugs the hell out of me when people who don't have the same issues try to weigh in and tell us how we should act with something we live with and they don't so much much SO MUCH respect for you guys to take that stance, whether or not that's how you truly feel, using that as your "I'm not getting into this conversation here and now" scape-goat is awesome. big props to you. I appreciate ya'll for that one.
💯
American history is intertwined with the idea of an armed populace. It is never going away. If other countries don’t understand it that’s fine, just say so. Bolivia is not Japan is not America is not France. Each history is different.
But they should have an opinion and their opinion should be that they deserve the right to defend themselves with whatever tools are necessary.
THIS is exactly why i stay out of anything having to do with family planning - i do not have the pluming to have any opinion or right to tell anyone what they can or cannot do with their own body
@@nickcarnevalino7462 A man definitely has a say if you're talking about abortion.
Being raised in the southern u.s. it's interesting to see people's reactions to firearms, doing this in the backyard. Nothing to be scared of , just have to respect the capability of what it can do!
It's just a machine like any other. Anything with moving parts can hurt you if you aren't careful with it.
Outdoor ranges help with the volume if you're not used to it. There are a lot of safety measures in place. The range officers are very knowledgeable.
That's true. There was one indoor range i went too that was a massive echo chamber and holy buckets that place was loud.
@@marksmith4892 And then they place you in a lane next to someone with an obnoxious comp 💀 Making it so much worse hahaha.
I am in the rural west, can't say I have ever shot at an actual range with "officers"
I always take a brand new shooter to an outdoor range. Indoor ranges are pretty awful experiences even if you're used to them.
Lived in Vermont my father was on B-24 WW2. The Holster for their 1911 kept it under their arm for freedom of movement. I was about 9 years old when I started wearing it and it was at my waist. I carried that 45 on my waist for 3 or 4 years except when I went to school. He drilled Gun safety into my head.
Gun ranges are everywhere in the free states. My cousin (now retired) owned a gun shop and collaborated with a local gun range to sponsor a yearly machine-gun shoot with the proceeds going to charities that help people with Downs Syndrome. There is a gun range outside of Louisville Kentucky (Knob Creek Gun Range) that regularly has machine-gun shoots. Sometimes they have them at night and use tracers/incendiary ammunition which makes it really spectacular.
I have two RUclipsrs I think you should check out.
Brandon Herrera is in Texas, and has a channel in his name he started several years ago. He has a huge collection of guns. He shows various ones, explains how they function, and are they legal to own without special licensing. He shows himself firing various weapons, and describes what he experiences with each one. He also has episodes showing times things have gone very wrong for other people, so we can see the importance of proper handling.
Colion Noir discusses laws, and various times when guns have been either used for good, or for bad.
Viewing a few episodes of those two channels can give you a great deal of insight to American use of firearms.
By the way, Brandon Herrera is running for Congress.
If you're going to Texas I'm sure you can find a fan who can set you up with a very safe family friendly gun range.
You can pretty much go to most gun range, most have rental and instructors that will show you what to do and teach you to shoot.
"If you're gonna play in Texas, y'gotta have a fiddle in the band!!"
Anywhere in the States. They’d want to check around before hand to be sure they have an instructor to teach them and supervise.
Ummm demo ranch lol
Many of us would be willing to take them to the range and to let them fire our weapons. We have six different rifles and four different pistols. Would give them quite the variety to try on their first time learning to fire a weapon. Bolt action, lever action, semi-auto, from .22, 380, 9 mil, 45 colt, and 5.56 with varying levels of weight and kick. Large pistols and smaller concealed carry pistols. Each one having its own purpose. It’s not scary if you get some safety training, gun handling instruction, and are taught body position and proper sighting.
As a TEXAN, I’m glad y’all are coming here for one, two, your enthusiasm to shoot is great. Half the U.K. RUclipsrs I’ve seen come here don’t take advantage of the great opportunity that you may never experience again. It’s absolutely a big part of our culture and in my opinion a must try if you want to really get the full reason why we are very pro gun. It’s part of who we are. Relax and let the pros walk you through it. It’s no more dangerous than driving a car if you learn the rules of the road. You don’t see many first timers walk away without a smile. Women do very well.
It took me 30 years to realize how important it is to our culture and everything we believe in. Sucks having liberal parents
@@michaelhill1708couldn’t agree more. 2 out of my 3 sons share my political views. My third is the complete opposite. That being said they all 3 were exposed to firearms very young g. They all started at the age of 5. Only 1 chooses not to own as an adult. I did not want to deny them the opportunity to experience it. I never understood how a parent tells a child no to push their own agenda. I tried to raise my son right. To make their own decisions when they became adults. They all based their choices on the subject based off of experience and the emotions around it. I can’t get mad at that
I am from Alabama . I have taught 3 of my 4 kids gun safety and how to fire different types of firearms . My 6 year old is learning on a pellet rifle now and will be getting her first .22 caliber rifle in a couple of months , then move up calibers when she is comfortable
Good dad.
I’m up in Washington and it is the same for me. All 3 of my sons were learning from around the age of 5. Started on a 22lr and worked their way up. In all honesty I believe all of them had experience with just about everything in my safes by the time they were 10. 22, 9mm, 45, 556, 30-30, 454, 357, 308, 30-06, 762, 7mm. They sampled it all. Each had their own preferences for handgun and rifle calibers. I believe gun safety is actually teaching children the right from wrong. Not just locking it in a safe and saying don’t touch. Having being brought up to respect and know right from wrong will always be a better option then telling someone no
Flying shells: one of many reasons to be wearing eye protection while you shoot.
One thing I really like about the instructor is his care for safety. While I think most places are careful like this, it's hugely important to me to see them walk the walk.
No I don't agree. The more redneck the comfortable I am.
And a hat.
I love hearing the crickets near the end. That's what southern evening memories are made of.
they can be heard throughout the video to be fair
I didn't even notice 😂
Yes Maam!
Office Bloke: *completely misses targets*
Instructor: "I haven't sighted that that one in so I don't know..."
Office Bloke: *continues to miss targets*
Instructor: "If you're not hitting 'em, you're scaring 'em real bad."
Nicest, kindest instructor in the world 🤣
This old man has some bad trigger finger discipline. He also aimed down on the table right in front of him with finger on the trigger when he instructed the visitors not to do so.
More money and age than he has in skills, sadly.
He also didn't teach and enforce proper cheek weld and stance when handing people fully automatic guns. While himself didn't stand in the correct position and support the visitor's shoulder while prepared to take control should anything go wrong.
A huge bloody accident can happen should someone fall backward(pushed by recoil) when holding the trigger down(nervous).
I teach people from time to time, and I'm not even a 'certified instructor' to spot those problems.
He also gave people a KSG without any sight, so they were shooting over the backstop. If it was loaded with slugs, that can be lethal for hundreds of yards. Even buckshot has some range it can hurt people and animals.
I would have asked for a refund, leave, and never go back.
Even one safety red flag is already too many.
@@JohnZ556You have zero idea what you’re talking about. Private range with some friends that they didn’t pay a dime to shoot at. You’re seeing 20 minutes of a 5 hour day. The backstop is about 45 feet high with nothing behind but trees for about 2000 yards…no rounds even approached the halfway mark. Oh and the KSG was loaded with target rounds. Take yourself less seriously, your days will be better. 👍
@@phillipmartin5929 First of all I owned a KSG for years, so I know exactly how bad it would be without any sight. All you said after are basically excuses doing things less safe and less appropriate. Paid or not is irrelevant, those shouldn't happen. Glad to hear they got some ground beyond the backstop and they did target loads, still not a valid excuse to set up people to shoot over it.
I hate fudd range rules, but breaking two out of four rules of firearm safety while being an instructor and handling firearm on fully automatic mode is on another level.
Safety aside. You might be treating your guests just like that.
But I won't be so rude by doing things I just told my guests to not do. Giving my guests guns without sight, sights wildly not zeroed, or let them keep doing awkward and incorrect weapons manipulation and stance.
No, I don't ever want to witness anything that can end up on a 'gun fail compilation' or 'Darwin's award'.
You be you. Have fun.
From someone growing up around firearms, your faces were priceless! ❤❤❤
Safety safety safety safety safety! There is nothing more important that we preach in the gun world than safety and knowledge
There is no need to be nervous, there won't be no one shooting back at you!! lol
It's funny how just your basic US family arsenal (not including automatics) amazes them.
-As a former police officer and range officer, a gun isn't anything to fear, but be respected. If you keep the weapon pointed down range and LISTEN to what the range officer tells you, you'll be ok and should have an enjoyable time
-Daz and his family actually lived in the states for about 12 years. His sons technically have birthright to citizenship cause they were born in the US. This isn't their first time in the States. They lived mostly in Jersey and then moved to Texas before moving to Dubai because his company had an opening there.
-A Type 07 FFL License allows a person to make guns to sell, as opposed to a Type 01 license only allows you to sell guns as a firearms dealer and/or be a gunsmith. It's a 3 year license that needs to be renewed. A type 03 the easiest to get is a collector of curio and relics. Can't sell them, but they can get weapons shipped directly to their homes. There are a few more, but those are the basics. It's not because of rarity of the weapon, it's because it's an automatic weapon which is illegal to own unless you have a federal license.
-Supressors help reduce recoil, which allows for faster and more accurate follow-up shots. It also reduces the light emitted from it being fired. It doesn't slow the bullet down, but because it makes the muzzle longer it actually increases the speed because of increased pressure.
- 20:41 Naw, aiming it she doesn't have it straight. She's aiming the rear sights and not lining the rear sights with the front sight.
As someone who grew up doing this in my backyard its crazy to see how you guys regard such a thing
If ya'll are going to be in Texas, it will be really easy to find a great range. I recommend an outside range, and to go on a slow day, like a Monday. A somewhat empty range is definitely less intimidating for a beginner. Or, you can book a private session, like this video, if you don't mind spending a bit more money. Either way, you'll have a great time. And someone will always be patrolling the lanes to guide you and answer your questions. As soon as you walk up to the counter the guy will notice your accents, assume your beginners, and you'll get the entire safety rundown lol.
I watch these guys as often as I watch you!! Love the Office Blokes, love Daz's family, and love you guys!!! Brits who love America, can't go wrong, lol 😁
We need the Beesley's and the Office Blokes crossover eventaully.
I thought that was OB Daz, his voice was a dead giveaway.
This is like the perfect set up.
I dont go to indoor ranges because I honestly dont trust being surrounded by inexperienced folks handling firearms.
Very different experience, in my opinion.
Add onto the fact that indoor ranges are significantly louder than outdoor ones. The increased noise can be a detriment to those new to shooting from my experience.
The younger guy in the hat is indeed the son and you can hear a woman in the back saying “that’s the American blood” when he kept hitting the targets, because he was born in the U.S. as his mom and dad (Daz and Gaynor) lived in the USA for a few years. So he indeed does have both countries blood running through him 😊
Wow, what a great video! Was so nice to see someone react to something besides eating bbq in Texas
You guys should reach out to some of the gun youtubers for help and info on where to go when you do it.
If you're doing it in Texas Brandon Herrera and I believe demoranch both live there
There is also Eli DoubleTap and Donut Operator
That's a great idea! It would be content for them as well!
I have sent an X message to Brandon and Matt to foster some engagement on this.
Would be awesome sauce 😊
@@NTovaar Any good news to report?
I love going to the range! We have a lot here in Tennessee. Great video guys!
Hey neighbor, Tennessee here too. 👍
I really hope you go to a range while you’re here! No need to worry. Just wear your eye and ear protection, pay attention to the rules of the range, and you’ll have fun!
They had good instructors that took the time to explain things instead of just letting them go shoot. Also they started them out a smaller caliber and worked up to larger calibers. Nothing disappoints me more than some jackass giving a first timer a weapon that will knock them on their ass.
Yeah, that's annoyed me about some of those first time videos.
Then they tend to come out reinforced in their stance against it, in large part because of that. 😑
@@Gutslinger It's been years now but I got to see that happening one day. Some boyfriend showing his girl how manly he was with his 40cal pistol...she was a first-timer. When she started flinching I offered my .22 plinker but he turned it down. When he ran out of ammo and went inside to get more I offered her the .22...what do you know, by the time he got back on the range, she liked shooting the .22. He just gave me a flat stare...LOL...jackass. (Apparently YT thinks AH not directed at anyone is offensive...AHs).
Yeah this instructor is clearly one of the best at what he does.
My only issue with the instructor was him not showing them proper grip with the hand guns. Everyone was "tea cupping" and the recoil was out of control.
There's an old saying; "A person with a gun is a citizen, a person without a gun is a subject". "Silencer" is a misnomer. The device is called a "Suppressor". It suppresses the sound, and the muzzle flash.
The original patent it was called a silencer though. But yeah I get the argument. Most aren't terribly silent but some are damn close.
@@joshua3113 They are often showed on revolvers. Nope. They hardly do anything on a revolver, the gap between the cylinder and the barrel defeats the purpose.
Exactly. I'm thankful and blessed to be a citizen. 🇺🇸👍
If you like what Daz did in Alabama and you're going to visit Texas anyway, you ought to visit Drive Tanks near San Antonio. It will be a blast not only driving and firing all the vehicles, but the impressive collection of vintage historical machineguns they have.
Some folks hobbies are bowling, softball, running,or going to the gym. Going to the range with your weapons is also a hobby. Im at the range at least once a week
Yea that's true but then you have those weird people that make their whole personality based around guns
@@noelramirez1551 dont know anyone like that personally, but i sure hope their on our(🇺🇸) side
@@Brandi6666 I grew up around guns my dad used to hunt but I was never into gun culture I was more of a fishing type of guy but I remember this one time I was coming back from highschool basketball game with some friends I was in the back seat kinda dozing off and I'm awaken to these idiots shooting out the window into wooded area it was in the back roads of Florida but I was like the hell are you guys doing shooting as you drive ...those are the type of people I was referring to idiots that treat it as a toy
A few rules that NEED to be followed. #1 it's ALWAYS LOADED. Treat it like its always loaded. #2 Keep your booger hook off the bang switch. Only put your finger in the trigger guard when you are firing the weapon. #3 ALWAYS keep your weapon pointed down range.
1st rule of gun safety: Have Fun
Imagine trying to occupy the USA from a military standpoint. Even the US military just stepped aside, you'd have millions of guns pointed at you.
Over 300 million legal firearms in more than 100 million legal citizens hands
I was on the high school rifle team all 4 years.
Always Treat A Gun As IF It's Loaded
Tell that to alec baldwin, and the jury!!!!
"Always keep the barrel pointed in a safe direction."
It's so ingrained in my head that I don't even have to think about it, because it's second nature. Even when I know the gun isn't loaded.
Yep, “always treat it as if it’s loaded, even if you know it’s not” was drilled in our heads at gun safety class
@@Gutslingerit’s so ingrained in mine that I do it with tools on the job site . I find myself not even pointing a screw gun in anyone’s direction. I can’t help it🤷♂️
22s don't have as much kick. Shotguns have a good kick, and bigger bullet rounds have a bigger kick. My late husband had a 480 revolver. I could only shoot it 2 times. It hurt my hand.
My 22 I could shoot all day.
Ful auto is fun. Or even simi auto.
Also there are different sights. Iron sites, scope, red dot.
I've had similiar experiences... I go with hubby once in a while, He goes several times a year to local gun range to keep the guns clean and working well. AR15 is fun.. but a bit scary. I don't care for the larger revolver, kick back is tough.. but with a smaller hand gun I'm fine with. Don't stand in the way of the discharged casings, by the way.. they come out hot.
@@creinicke1000 oh yeah. I was shoot a m16 and the shells were flying down my friends shirt. He was screaming like a girl.
Das shooing that 45 sub machine gun full auto is a pretty good example of why fully automatic weapons are actually pretty terrible when it comes to accuracy. In order to keep the weapon on target he had to keep letting off the trigger because the barrel of the gun naturally wants to climb.
why you aim low, the gun does the rest! Why it is called spray n pray!
Feeling focused/aware when handling firearms is completely normal, and good. It’s like learning to drive a car - you want a beginner to feel slightly nervous. It means they take it seriously. You will do fine in the US.
6:44 that’s a 22, pretty low caliber, this is the gun Boy Scouts will often shoot
Boy Scouts shoot 12 gauges to get their merit badge 🙄
That "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" comment was from the 1980 movie, Apocolypse Now. I was USAF in South Korea and that was one of the very few newly released movies that we got in the base theatre while I was there.
When I was in the Army in the 1970s, we used that saying. That was before the movie.
Joel and Lia (from RUclips) went to a gun range in the U.S. and Lia stupidly aimed the gun at Joel’s chest when she wasn’t paying attention. She’s lucky she didn’t accidentally shoot or he would have been dead. The guy supervising them nearly had a heart attack when he saw it.
I stopped watching those obnoxious twits long ago. That sounds like it takes the cake even for them.
Holy crap, what?! We weren’t allowed to do that goofin around w airport when we were kids! 😂
My dad trained us on gone safety, Day 1
That woman is a borderline airhead! I saw her waving that pistol around like a drunken fool. The range master should have escorted her out the door. What she did was equivalent to driving drunk on a busy highway. A gun doesn't have brains. You expect the one holding it to have a little similance of having one.
Millie and Jimmy, see if you can find a video of someone shooting Black Powder. A lot of noise and smoke, but less recoil. A .50 caliber BP rifle at 100 yards can wreck a lot of havoc on gallon jugs of water.
Joel and Lia are pretty stupid anyway, so it's not surprising Lia would do that. If Joel, God forbid, had been shot, she would have blamed it on the gun culture in America and not her own carelessness and stupidity.
Just be ready for how loud it will be. ALWAYS wear ear protection.
The license he was referring to was a category of gun dealer. He is licensed to sell to law enforcement, so he has access to guns that civilians can't legally own. You can own full automatic weapons in the US, but they passed a law in 1986 that machine guns manufactured after the date of the law could no longer be transferred into civilian ownership. That G-36 was made after that, so if he stopped being a dealer, he would either transfer it to another dealer that possessed that kind of license, or demilitarize the weapon, usually by cutting up the receiver.
Another way to control a runaway gun (which is a freak occurrence, typically only happening with semi or full auto guns that have gotten so hot by continuous firing; usually hundreds of rounds in one sitting; to the point of rounds “cooking off” inside the chamber, causing the next round to be loaded, and then that one to be fired, and so on) and which I was taught in the Army; is to just drop the magazine. If it’s a belt fed machine-gun; just twist the belt so it won’t feed or just snap off the links. Basically, get rid of the source of ammo, and you no longer have a runaway gun.
Being nervous about shooting for the first time because you might have a runaway gun is the equivalent of being nervous about driving for the first time because someone might crash into you if you drive 120mph on the wrong side of the highway. Like yeah, you’re technically not wrong, but to even get to that point you would have to go so wrong and so far out of your way to land yourself in that situation.
Being from Alabama myself, it’s a friendly place, and guns just so happen to be abundant. I myself collecting several dozen examples, mainly of the military surplus variety. If you find yourself in the States, I’d recommend going to a nice indoor range and picking out a .22 or a 9mm to rent and try out there. It’s an exciting experience you don’t want to miss, that you’ll never forget, and that you can always brag about to your mates back home
Getting used to the recoil is the most surprising thing to master! Once you get used to it you’ll get quite good at hitting targets!
The range master is covering worst case scenarios. You should be nervous, it is something you should respect and isn't for everyone. I appreciate your willingness to try. Love your channel and hope you enjoy your trip to the States
A "runaway gun" is also not as common as he makes it sound. I am 52 years ld, have shot many guns, and it has never happened to me
Better safe than sorry though. So focus their attention on that it could happen and they need to remember what to do if it does. And I’m sure the few times it actually happened to him were very memorable.
Yeah, a lot of instructors tend to overstate the potential ways things can go wrong, because they're trying to impress on people the importance of safety. Unless you're doing something outside the norm or are using sketchy handloaded ammo, the chances of a gun catastrophically failing are vanishingly small. Most malfunction are feed problems which just cause the gun to jam and do nothing.
Worth knowing what to do just in case you're the one in a million, but not really worth getting yourself all anxious over. It's like getting struck by lightning; something to consider before you walk out onto a golf course in the middle of a thunderstorm, but as long as you're not being stupid about it the chances of it happening are far too remote to be worth losing sleep over.
I think about how some 44,000 people die in auto accidents every year, yet people aren't scared to death of vehicles. Guns and vehicles just need to be treated with respect and not misused.
@@butchbunde8990i had one happen to me when I was 16, it was a semi auto but there was a malfunction in the cycling that prevented the gun from stopping the hammer from hitting again immediately, 4 bullets with one trigger pull
I'm an Alabamian and happened to be cleaning some of my reloading presses when this video popped up in my feed :)
The look on Mille's face says it all.
@The Beesleys I'm a gun tuber here in south Texas. If y'all head down to Corpus Christi on the coast I'd be happy to take y'all out to the range with my extensive firearms collection for a range day!
I really like the Range Master, his instructions were on point when they will be using automatic weapons. To me semiautomatic arms are more manageable. When you come to Texas enjoy yourselves we have a lot to experience.
Spent a few years in the military never had or heard of a weapon keep firing after the finger was off the trigger, and this gentleman has had it happen many times. I guess you learn something everyday.
Happens when the chamber gets too hot and cooks off the rounds from the heat
The son was actually born in the US, years ago the dad was stationed in business in the US
The G36 is only available to dealers due to the Hughes Amendment, which closed the federal NFA registry for fully automatic firearms on 19 May 1986. The G36 didn't exist until the mid 90s, so it cannot be owned legally except by someone who deals in automatic weapons. That person or entity can only sell to police departments, government agencies, and military groups. For a better understanding, google "Hughes Amendment", Firearms Owners Protection Act, and National Firearms Act of 1934.
We need to repeal the NFA. We the people should be allowed without any interference to own FULL AUTO. Shall not be infringed doesnt mean...as long as its not Full Auto.
While I agree and gave you a thumbs up, I will also say that there really isn't a valid use for full auto. I've talked with people in the US military, and the only reason they ever use it is as a distraction. However, our 2A has been infringed on, and that's a problem.
@@spyrus_4359 I agree with both you and the initial comment.
@@spyrus_4359that's not exactly true friend. I recommend watching people use full auto in competitive shooting stages. Low cyclical rates and smaller calibers are easily controlled. Yeah, not for 300 yard precision shots but across the living room and it's not even comparable with semi autos as far as effectiveness. Trust but verify, military guy's are great sources of information but sometimes you get a crayon chewer too. 🖖
Eh, (waves his hand to the side). I have little need for fire suppression. I consider that the primary use for full auto.
The police should not have them either.
At some point, there is truth in the anti-gun fears. How many times have we seen folks shooting full auto and suddenly they say, "now I feel like a god!" Or stupid crap like that?
Don't think full auto is.... practical.
@@armstrong2052 I actually find your comment to be offensive. The man who told me that spent 20 years in Army Infantry, and did 4 tours in Iraq. He has cried many times telling me the stories of those tours, but "crayon chewers"? I can't rely on my father because he was just an Air Force Colonel, and only needed to qualify with a pistol. Still, your comment is disrespectful to our military
When he said "I like the smell of napalm in the morning. He was quoting a line from the movie "Apocalypse now." A must watch movie about Vietnam. Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen, Dennis Hopper and other great actors are in it.
I saw that someone in the comment section suggested getting in touch with one of the Gun-tuber channels might be a good idea and I think I saw that Brandon Herrera's name was brought up which would be an outstanding option if he could find the time between running for a congressional seat, running his business and producing you-tube content. A couple of other good ones would be Warrior Poet Society or Mr Gunsngear, they both have that mentoring style that I think would benefit someone new to firearms and shooting. Great video and I enjoyed watching your reactions.
Even when aiming correctly often people will find some pistols more natural to shoot than others.
Thats a large reason 1911's are still so popular.
1911s are popular because people are stupid. Real, OG, 1911s are rickety inaccurate pieces of shit that generally always go boom. Modern 1911s are machined to ridiculous tolerances to make them accurate. Just but a Glock.
I have never heard of a runaway and I have been shooting for 50+ years. I remember taking my niece outback to shoot. She came back in with a huge smile on her face.
It's called a "cook off" and is generally a problem after high volumes of fire in weapons that fire from the closed bolt. This is why most machine guns fire from the open bolt.
Guns that fire from the closed bolt chamber a round after each shot. That round can become super heated in the chamber and go off. Weapons that fire from the open bolt only chamber a round right as the weapon is fired.
This takes a huge volumes of fire in a short period of time so few people run into the issue. Burning through 10) 20rd mags in a speed challenge mag dump could do it. Most cook offs take a minute or more to happen but in an severely overheated weapon it can happen quite quickly.
It can happen but I don't know anybody its ever happened to. Cook offs and parts wearing can cause it.
@@JesseLJohnsona year or so ago there was a guy at my local range firing full-auto. As I left he was talking to the RSO, saying that he'd had some trigger work done and the full-auto was unexpected. I don't know what kind of gun it was, but it wasn't supposed to be full-auto. Maybe the firing pin jammed so he got slam-fire??
@JoeBLOWFHB he isn't talking about cook offs but a runaway completely different in fact no one said anything that could be miscommunication as a cook off so maybe learn a little before trying to teach others
Suppressers, often called silencers, don't silence the gun like they do in the movies. With a suppresser on the shot is as loud and clapping your hands as hard as you can next to your ear. With out it is is as loud as a firework going off.
Or two 2 by 4 planks smacking together
Suppressors suppress the explosion, not the sonic boom. 🙄
Just remember to ask about the four rules of gun safety and if they don’t mention it ask about it because I saw a Brit go and she about shot her friends
So you watch Joel and Lia as well, then...
@@warrendavis9262 yeah sometimes I saw that and shook my head all I know is you would think it is common sense that a device that sends a deadly projectile out a hole that you would automatically know not to point it at someone but people need to be reminded and shown that safety has to be at the top of everyone’s mind and know that not to put your finger on the trigger
I will always say go and do something once but pay attention when the serious conversation starts because you can die if you don’t pay attention to what you are doing you don’t have to like it but you must respect it so all I have to say is have fun and stay safe
I am from Texas. I was in Scotland a few months ago and I had many great conversations with lots of wonderful people and no one asked me about guns. It was great. BTW I can't wait to go back.
I'm a 77-year-old American who only shot guns when I was in the Air Force (2991 days) and was required to do so for weapons qualification. I worked on airborne radio and radar navigation equipment, not guns. Being right-handed, left eye dominant made this a real hoot, as they forced me to shoot left-handed (this was in the late 60s early 70s).
I lived a parallel life to yours apparently. I am also left-eye dominant but right handed. My usaf service was in satcom , not exactly nav-aids, but close. 1450 ish days
That's weird, I am lefty and right eye dominant. U gotta go with the eye dominant. Been shooting 40 years competitive
I'm also right hand, left eye dominant and I hate it lol. I might actually be no eye dominant, which sort of helps, but if I shoot rifles I just shoot right handed with my left eye closed or almost closed. I don't care if I lose spacial awareness, I'm not using a damn lefty gun lol.
I fire pistols left handed (it's been awhile), rifles right handed, for whatever reason, that is what works. Everyone is different.
Right handed left eye dominant here as well. I also have an astigmatism in both eyes that make red dots look like a star burst and unusable. Years shooting rifles with iron sights or scopes actually helped me be able to transition from right to left when I got micro prism sights. I also have acquired the effect I can’t remember the name of , but basically my brain transfers the reticle from which ever eye is looking through the prism over to the that isn’t.. Some people have to train a lot to develop this from what I understand, but it came to me naturally with prism scope…. I can actually effectively train for CQB with a rifle now which is something I thought I’d never be able to do… I see it as basically turning handicaps into an advantage.. I think it was way easier for me to learn to shoot lefty then learning to transition than if I would have learned to shoot right then transition to left.
When I was 17 and 18 my older brother took me to the range several times. It was a great experience and it helped me when I joined the Army a couple years later earn my expert weapons badge.
If you come to the states go to a gun range. It will be a thrill you'll remember for a life time.
As for the special license, to keep the gun. Is because Fully Automatic Guns were outlawed in 1936, the law was passed to keep machine guns out of the hands of gangsters
The irony is that law happened after prohibition ended, and we all are paying for the misdeeds of gangsters in the form of having our human rights infringed. The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves.
Their son Aiden was born in the US.
We call the fully automatic rifles “giggle sticks” because every grown man who shoots one just starts giggling afterward!
Funny to me. People get so nervous around and firing firearms. Yet get into a 6000lb steel killing machine an drive it 80mph. Without a second thought.
It's been a while since you've done any NASCAR reactions but I think you should react to the finish of this past weekend's NASCAR race in Atlanta. It's one of the greatest finishes in NASCAR history.
Watch out for the flying Brass!!!
It’s a lot of fun. It’s just important to have good instructors that will keep you safe. You don’t hear the sound that loudly. That’s what the ear protection is for.
I watch their channel. Their son was born in America.☺️
When I was in high school we all had our shotguns and rifles in our vehicles on school grounds. We would show off our guns to teachers and even do class presentations on them. We would even get in a quick duck hunt on school mornings when the ducks were down in mass. Times have changed for sure.
The Bible says a woman’s hair is her beauty. Millie nailed it
I took hunters safety when I was I think 13 or 14 in Michigan. So I could get my dear license. There were 4 rules that they taught me. Then I still used today 1 Always Treat a gun like it's loaded. Even though You know it's not. 2. Never point a gun at anything. Unless You want to kill it. Or make it explode. 3. Never put your finger on the trigger until you ready to pull it. 4. Always know. What's behind your target. William s
OB Daz is an international man of mystery 😂. Joking, but he and his wife, Gaynor, and two sons, Aidan (in this video), and Declan, have lived in a lot of places. They lived in New Jersey and Texas for a good while, and that's where they had Aidan and Declan, so both are U.S. citizens. So, really, Aidan is finally exercising his Second Amendment right, lol. They're an awesome family.
This was when they came over here back around Thanksgiving '23.
Just to clarify about the G36. The license is required because it is a "modern" machine gun. Civilians can't own them, but a properly licensed dealer can have them in stock for sale to certain customers - the police, for example.
The only machine guns civilians can legally own are those that were registered with the US government (ATF) before May 19, 1986. And they're expensive because the supply is limited and getting smaller. Also, there is a hefty tax/fee that has to be paid to the US government to acquire one. In addition, local laws have to allow it or you can't have it. (And the local police have to be informed that you have it - it's taken pretty seriously.) Despite the hassles, there are collectors with lots of mone and some really amazing weapons here in the US.
A buddy of mine in Wyoming said during our call "hold on...I have a mountain lion circling my horse barn". That is a 200 pound alpha predator trying to kill thousands of dollars worth of horses, maybe also cows, sheep, chickens, hogs, and then come for the humans. He went out with an assault rifle and drove the thing away. Do you want to go after such a potent, agile killing machine in the dark night with a tiny pistol and just 6 bullets? Heck no. You need serious firepower to preserve your own life, prevent horrible injury to helpless animals, and protect your young family and property.
anyone that says "you only need X amount of ammo" has never fired a gun in their life, much less under stress.
Assault rifle is a term made up by gun hating people to use as a scare tactic. Assault rifle sounds so much worse than semiautomatic rifle.
Hey, we have this kitten outside named Nimbus and he gives that look just outside our door that says if we don't toss the salmon out, bad things will happen. Scary, man.
Having a wide variety of reactive targets makes it much more fun and then adding gaming concepts and skills competition adds to the fun as well.
love daz and the blokes
The dad seems cool but Aiden is annoying and thinks too highly of himself I remember when they reacted to rodeo video he said bull riding wasnt hard that he could do it without practice and the mom seems like the type that talks bad about america when shes not on camera
When using a red dot, always keeps both eyes open. You don't want to restrict your total vision.
You two should do a video on the different calibers and I think it'll teach you alot about guns
There's a gun range in Pidgeon Forge Tennessee where you can rent a machine gun to have fun with
You'll have a fine time.
I should note:
*Seems there is allot of suppressor use, here. Even with a suppressor, guns are louder than you think. Especially in someplace you'd consider quiet [ As compared to the constant noise of a city.]
*Pay attention to your safety briefing and do not be afraid to ask for clarification.
*I wouldn't be overly concerned about weight. Extra mass reduces recoil. It is your friend.
If you wish to avoid fatigue from holding a gin on target; start lifting a 7-10Lb {roughly 3.2 - 4.5 Kilograms} weight for several minutes a day.
Until it feels easy.
Other forms of silencer luke attachments include compressors, flash hiders, and compensators which reduce the vertical climb recoil
Woman from East Tennessee here. Watching first timers shoot these guns is terrifying. Glad he went over some basic safety first but… wtf?!
In the US, if you go to an indoor gun range, a range officer will help you with everything. You can rent nearly any rifle or pistol you'd like. Then, purchase the ammo for it. They have ear/eye protection available, usually for free. Then, you buy the paper target. The range officer will be with you and instruct you if you haven't ever fired a firearm before. These indoor ranges have strict safety rules.
Yes, outdoor ranges might not be as intensely loud. Yes, you might have more space, but if you arent familiar with the area and able to find somone to go with you to an outdoor range, an indoor range is more accessible.
In Georgia, it's cathartic to go to a range with a spreadsheet now and then. Or skeet shooting. Go to an indoor range if you want to try small ones, or outdoor for a rifle, or a skeet business where you can learn, then practice, yelling "Pull!"
I was introduced to rockets as a kid, don't know if that is a thing in the UK... basically we would build rocket kits and try to get to higher altitudes.
Great physics tests, and I got into archery and slingshots and eventually firearms with the same love of the science behind it. It's so awesome to have the freedom to do that stuff.
I'm amazed at how intrigued you are about what is a very common "hobby".
We have lots of outdoor public gun ranges here where I live , 3 outdoor ranges within 25 miles ( 40 km 2 indoor public ranges , one of them is a restaurant Bombshells Ales & BBQ's has a gun range called Bare Arms Shooting Range . Only in America
Nothing to be nervous about. You'll have fun. Just always keep the safety advice in mind. That's number one.
yup, of course the instructor hit the big one early... muzzle awareness, even if you mess up several other safety steps if you keep it pointed at the backstop you can keep the danger down to just scaring any pants in the vicinity clean off the wearers from an unexpected discharge.
I'd like to see them listen a bit more to the instructor's advice and improve their trigger discipline, but overall well done Family Daz!! Rack that scatter gun like you mean it, son!
Welcome to America, Land of the Free and Home of the Brave!
To many Americans a gun is a tool, no diffrent than an axe or hammer. It can be used to harvest food or defend against predators. Just like all those axe throwing places it can be used for entertainment and competition.
His wife worried me when she was pointing the pistol down and shooting into the ground. Lol
Even worse when they tried to correct her and she denied them and continued to point and shoot it down further. 🤦🏽♂️
Something to keep in mind, there are only two ways to buy a full-auto gun. You have to either be company with a class III FFL License (which this man is) or you have to buy Pre-1986 tranferable guns which range from 5,000 to 50,000 dollars each. Those prices only increase each years much like classic cars. Each shot is a matter of cents to north of 5 dollars per single round fired for the ammo.
There is a stigma that makes some people afraid of guns but they are just tools. Easy to use but it takes years to master.
This was great. I'll preface my comments by saying that I'm an American (Washington state) that grew up with firearms.
Once you get to shoot some and get comfortable with them, you'll definitely have an opinion on them. And very likely a positive one. 👍
When you do, have a great time and stay safe. Oh, and welcome to the US.🙂
The 1st Gun I Ever Fired Was A 12 Gauge Long Tom With A 2 3/4" Barrel I Think It Was A Harris & Richardson Model & I Was 7yrs Old
