@@borkwoof696 How in the name of fuck is 3gun new :D I happen to have a pdf copy of the issue of "Guns" where they proclaimed 3gun to be the new best ultimate thing. It's from 1958 and about as dated as 3gun itself. (Unless you meant to invoke something different, like the attitude of 3gunners towards 2gun, with which I'm not familliar with, so it could as well be that).
I'm familiar with some of the more imaginative solutions the Swiss military has come up with. Setting one of these bays up across a busy road probably isn't a good idea. Although it would make for a unique twist on the Kasarda drill.
As a chemist specializing in lubrication science, I can confirm cold grease will definitely stiffen up, especially if it falls below a certain critical temperature for the grease in question.
Of all of the first day runs, Mike's seemed like the breeziest in terms of the shooting. That SP1 was just a laserbeam. Like you guys said, there is a reason that rifle took off. Nice shooting!
The SP1 AR-15 was pretty radical at the time, both in looks and function; a better match would probably be the HK P9 or P9S. The Hi-Power is more stylistically compatible with a FAL.
8:48 Recent-production factory Hi-Power magazines have a little spring on the heel that tensions against the magazine well when you put them in, and _launches_ them out of the gun when you hit the release button. I found that puzzling when I bought one a couple-three years back, because the ones from 30 years ago didn't have it, but I guess now I know what it's for. (Also, I'm still giggling at Ian's comment on Bloke's magazine pouch. "That becomes a yard sale. One mag for you and mags for everybody!")
LoL at Bloke constantly reminding the Americans that the British used the AR-15 in battle first. Which is something I didn't knew because all the American videos I saw about it, purposely or not, never mentioned it.
I haven't seen much of the bloke, apart from Finland really, but he's really an impressive shooter! Seems to be a nice chap...bloke as well! Keep these collaborations going.
I think we see some of Bloke's shooting experience coming through with the way he sort-of cradles the gun and wraps his hand back around the handguard near the end/front sight. Neat!
The SP1 sights are a little on the small size, and seem designed for Camp Perry in the blazing sunshine :D If I could only have 1 sight size it would be 0.1", if I could have 2, it would be 0.1" for long and 0.2" for short. The M16A2 flip is better on this score, but the long range aperture is still a bit on the small size.
@@BlokeontheRange Ya old fart. ;) As someone who has been to Camp Perry, 0.040" with a lightly smoke tinted filter can be ideal. If only one size, agreed on 0.1". If two, 0.050" and at least 0.1".
My former Army Reserve unit had almost exclusively 20 round magazines for Ranges. After one range session where I tossed more then half of my magazines due to numerous failure to feeds, I knew why I had never seen them in Active Duty Army inventory before.
An A1 rifle with an updated barrel(1/7 twist and stress relieved for heat tolerance)is just about the best ar-15 platform i can come up with. Obviously a 16" barrel and a midlength gas system would be awesome as well but for my purposes I prefer the rifle.
And minutia like sights and lights are up to the end user. Personally i prefer iron sights and a white light, works for me and keeps it light and handy. Your milage may vary.
I'm surprised to hear Bloke say that the Hi-Power doesn't have drop-free mags. It sure does, if you take that magazine safety out and carefully deposit it in a proper Dixie Waste Works dumpster where it belongs. It makes a great improvement to the trigger too. The design was originally for a potential French military contract if I remember right. I imagine there would have been drop-free mags ... and no magazine safety ... otherwise, but the French requirements did give us some early double stack mags at least.
Oh that first run was painful, that mag should have been left the first time. Basic training remember magazines are disposable. Nice to see the woolly pully in use though but no SLR makes me sad.
Just a tip for the bloke on the match: most of the strength of the human body is in its legs - so you better use them if you want to throw far. It's also way better for your back.
hey @InRangeTV can you guys cover the v seven enlightened ar-15 at some point? that would be amazing, to see that gun perform under a torture test and ballistics test thanks.
Requiring the shooter to think can be acomplishied by giving them a random number between one and a hundred and requiring a yes/no for it being a prime number. Good shooting woolly pully.
Didn't go into battery? Are you saying that this could've actually been a situation where the forward assist MAYBE could've helped? ;) or made it worse...
The forward assist is not neccessary when pulling the charging handle is way better and it's better to get that round out as it may be defective and not to spec or just dirty if you understand what I'm saying.
APEX is great. Ian did a your there many years ago on GunLab.bet. The guy made a profound statement - price of surplus is based on availability, not value. Very true and I have not forgotten it.

I see the Bloke knows the proper ar 15 mag disposal technique. Always nice to see
Bloke can really shoot. That Kasarda drill was insane.
Right? He was winded very quickly but hit target very quickly and consistently

Cold War era rifles are my favorites.
I'm worried about Blokes back after watching those swings...................
I was less damaged by that than I was by the lighter KB in Finland, having built a bit of muscle in the meantime :)

Yeah but his outfit is cool
Unf, that rifle and pistol combo is pure sex. Glorious.
The SP1 AR-15 was pretty radical at the time, both in looks and function; a better match would probably be the HK P9 or P9S. The Hi-Power is more stylistically compatible with a FAL.
Great Run, Mike!
Thanks!
Proper way for fixing a defective magazine:
1) disassemble magazine
2) throw in dumpster
Dixie Waste Works would be glad to have their broken mags
@@qazaqwert ....along with the odd malfunctioning rifle....
Recycle that metal! Give it a chance to have a new life as something better...
Uhm, there is a slight difference between Bloke shooting that FAL in Finnland and a light 5.56 gun in DB 2020. You smoked it.
Thanks :)
The Kasarda drill looks like something I would struggle with and seeing other people do it fills me with dread
Imagine burpees but with precision shooting also
"this is how shooting should be".... this is how shooting is strictly forbidden for civilians here in Germany :(
Yep.
Join the German military reserve. Train shooting without spending a penny. Enlist in (international) military shooting matches. Been there, done that.

Watching you run that old SP1 is just cool
"British infantryman quelling riots in Ireland, 1975, colourised"
Apart from that dumb rifle
Needs a Stirling
At that point, do you guys allow throwing mags at the targets, and do they count as hits?
End them rightly
Only if a bullet is still in the mag.
Watching The Bloke do Borneo boils my piss that the DLI don't even have a museum at the moment. Thank you Mike for tipping your cap to history.

Awesome, was hoping you guys would be showing bloke's runs!
Nice to see Mike "Murphy's Law" Bloke on the Range shooting
Imagine the bush starts speaking Vietnamese and your M16 jams like at the beginning of the video. PTSD inducing
Train to dump the mag faster
If they’re speaking instead of shooting, it might be a good sign!
Happened to several GI's because of the greed and incompetence of the ordnance board.
NEVER go FULL Homie!!!!

Man I love to see some AR-15 shooting. There's something special about this platform, I don't know, it's just satisfying.

well done bloke! expertly demonstrating the benefits of the early ar15s in the assault role!
Mike fixing the mag gave me the best laughter I had today :D
I wonder how Bloke likes the smaller peep on the SP1 compared to the No. 4's bigger ghost ring.
The SP1 sights are a little on the small size, and seem designed for Camp Perry in the blazing sunshine :D If I could only have 1 sight size it would be 0.1", if I could have 2, it would be 0.1" for long and 0.2" for short.

Pity about that magazine but the Spinner evened out the time differences, didn't it?

Bloke did fairly well on both courses even with the magazine malfunction.

That mag deservers more than few kicks and stomps, empty a bigger mag on it :) that would do the trick :)
That flipping target on the end got a lot of people for time. Consider replacing it with a Texas star.
The Spinner is a great target and has been an integral part of 2-gun for years. It was worse in this match for other reasons.
Match is called desert brutality.
Audience: let’s make it easier
Spinner ate my lunch and I was fine with it. Wouldn't want it to be easier at all. Ever.
Where can I get one of those commando sweaters in green? I thought they only came in blue
Didn't go into battery? Are you saying that this could've actually been a situation where the forward assist MAYBE could've helped? ;) or made it worse...
Maybe... But, to kill the joke dead, pulling the charging handle did the exact same thing.
