Chapter 1: What should you know about securing your gun collection's value?

0.031 - 11.863 Mikhail Gonzalez

If you died today, would your family know what your gun collection is worth? Don't leave them guessing. Secure your legacy with our Widow's View. Sign up at Pew Locker. P-E-W dot locker.

36.093 - 46.85 Will

We are listening to AK-47 radio, bringing you the best of the motherland with more autism and fewer FPV drones. Man, I screwed that up.

0

47.411 - 66.39 Mikhail Gonzalez

Yeah, you did, you fucking wiener head. AR-15 podcast. 15 minutes prior to 15 minutes prior, son, is how you end up at PT at 0130. Because your squad had to be there 15 minutes prior to when the platoon had to be. I'm not going to go down that road, but you know.

0

66.771 - 99.008 Will

You're already halfway down that road. Anyway, tonight we are not joined by our party janitor, Sam Alexander. Apparently his gig moonlighting as a janitor for the local oligarch caused some scheduling conflicts. However, I am joined by our cosmonaut general, Mikhail Gonzalez. And as always, I am Comrade Commissar Will. How you doing, dude? I'm all right, man. How about you?

0

100.089 - 104.457 Will

Hey, you know, I'm here. That's what I tell people at work when they ask me that question.

105.28 - 116.412 Mikhail Gonzalez

You know, when I go to work and they're like, how are you doing, man? I'm like, I'm alive. And I ask how they're doing. And they're like, living the dream. And I'm like, I was in the military. That's code for I want to kill myself. Yep.

118.014 - 122.899 Will

That's the other one. Living the dream one day at a time. And nightmares count.

127.604 - 130.647 Unknown

So true. Yep.

131.977 - 140.089 Will

So I heard you had bread. You must be getting all that cosmonaut general pay.

Chapter 2: Who are the hosts and what is the significance of their roles?

140.77 - 152.888 Mikhail Gonzalez

Yeah, they feed the cosmonauts because they want the cosmonauts to go to space. They don't necessarily want the cosmonauts to come home from space, but they need to be fed well enough to get in there in the first place.

0

153.543 - 187.039 Will

that's fair uh how how is how is cosmonaut bread you know you have like cosmonaut ice cream and cosmonaut all these other meals you know it's cosmonaut much to talk about i opened the door right for that one and slammed it in my own face damn it well if you're gonna set them up for me i'm gonna knock them down what do you want me to do that's fair Oh, anyway.

0

188.521 - 195.528 Will

So what did you do this week to advance the party's interests or just to live another week?

0

196.85 - 223.691 Mikhail Gonzalez

As a matter of fact, I survived another week despite my best efforts. Better. I have to. I went to my ranges pistol match on Wednesday night and I had a grand old time. Number one, as I our viewer may recall, uh, I was having issues with my gun jamming constantly.

0

224.211 - 241.38 Mikhail Gonzalez

And ever since I bought the new gun, the Glock 17 and have been running that in competition, it has been going swimmingly, no jams, no failure to fire, failure to reject nothing. Just it works when I pull the trigger, which is all I can ask of a Glock. Um,

243.031 - 247.936 Will

That's literally the only good thing about a Glock is 99% of the time it works every time.

248.497 - 282.166 Mikhail Gonzalez

You know, people say that, but I genuinely believe that the 17 degree grip angle actually helps reduce recoil. And the reason I believe that is because when you're holding a handgun, and for those listening auditorily, suck it. When you're holding a handgun and your support wrist or your support hand is actually supporting the handgun, your recoil mitigation comes mostly from your grip.

286.37 - 309.949 Mikhail Gonzalez

What I mean by that is... Oh, fuck, that's a... That is one loaded bullet. Okay, so... This is so much... When you're shooting two-handed, your support hand's on the pistol, and your support thumb should be locked out straight forward, pointing forward.

310.69 - 341.045 Mikhail Gonzalez

Glocks help me affect that because they, instead of, you know, kind of pointing 17 degrees differently than normal guns do, they point 17 degrees downwardly. And that extra little bit of downward angle helps both your wrists lock into place. And when your wrists are locked, you're automatically reducing recoil dramatically. You're not reducing recoil. Recoil is just felt.

Chapter 3: What experiences did the hosts have at the recent pistol match?

921.228 - 929.478 Will

No, just let it fall. Just let it fall and have the handset come with three total mags, like a good pistol should.

0

931.902 - 951.963 Mikhail Gonzalez

While I don't disagree with the merit of that idea... I still don't have a... Well, I have a belt. I have several belts I can put this on. I don't have a holster for it. And yeah, mag holsters are not that big a deal. We all have those laying around the house.

0

952.324 - 978.879 Will

Yeah, and that's kind of really what I'm more getting at is the mag pouches. I don't have a holster for mine yet either. That's something I intend to order soon. But... just being able to eject mag, put mag in, maybe even have a button on it to simulate a, um, or like we were talking about with a light controller, uh, have a button that interfaces with the controller somehow to drop the slide.

0

979.44 - 982.643 Will

So you can actually simulate reloading.

0

984.786 - 992.115 Mikhail Gonzalez

Mm. Yeah. Like you, you pop the mag in and hit the slide release. Yeah. And it goes to a chunk and you're like, ah, yeah,

992.939 - 1003.909 Will

The only other cool thing they could do would be to somehow add in a movable slide with a weight that simulates recoil with CO2 or battery power or something.

1003.989 - 1015.961 Mikhail Gonzalez

See, now you're getting into those law enforcement training simulators, which are cool as fuck, by the way. Man, those were cool.

1016.722 - 1046.352 Will

You know, the coolest simulator I've ever done was... I don't really think I want to know. was a it's actually not that far from here um it's a live fire indoor range it's basically a connex out the back of this uh co-ops uh shop that also happens to have a really cool gun shop in it and you go out in this connex box shut the door and there's a projector screen at the end

1046.332 - 1070.398 Will

and you can do the scenarios and somebody can control the outcome. So like if you're being super aggro with somebody that's being fishy, they can make them attack you or be more aggressive or they can make them comply or they can, somebody else can basically screw with you in this situation. Um, But it's a projector screen, and it has these filaments that run through it.

Chapter 4: How do Glocks compare to other handguns in terms of performance?

1165.709 - 1196.09 Mikhail Gonzalez

We went through the simulator training and I remember one particular scenario and there's this dude, he's walking through an alley and he's, he's holding a car seat and you're like, Oh, sir, stop, stop right there. In the name of the law, you have to stop. And the guy's like, and wandering around all weird. And when you finally, again, this is the very same thing.

0

1196.17 - 1226.965 Mikhail Gonzalez

You get to pick the scenario, the instructor behind you, uh, chooses it's it's a choose your own adventure but it's your actions that are choosing the adventure not reading a pet reading ahead to page 57 and finding out what bad thing happens going ah never mind um so i'm like i'm trying to approach this dude and he's not having any of it and finally he pulls out a huge machete and i'm like the

0

1227.468 - 1252.313 Mikhail Gonzalez

put the machete down, put the machete, like, drop it, you know, like, as best I can. And... of course he doesn't drop it. Instead, he holds it to the baby's head and then goes like this. And that's when I put a headshot between his eyes. And at that point, the instructor called it off and he was like, all right, explain to me your reasoning. And I was like, he was about to like machete the baby.

0

1252.333 - 1279.221 Mikhail Gonzalez

What do you, what, what reasoning? He's like, well, why didn't you go for the C response? And I'm like, what C response? Like, His head was clear. I took the headshot. It's B. There's a reason it's a response, B response, C response. B was open. So I took B and he was like, okay. Yeah. I don't, I didn't appreciate being questioned like that, but at the same time he had to, because that's his job.

0

1279.621 - 1289.132 Mikhail Gonzalez

Because if I just took a shot without taking a shot and thinking about all that and all of the things that I said, then that's bad. But I gave him all the information he was after. So that's good.

1289.315 - 1317.365 Will

Yes. And it's also, okay, well, if this is real life, you're going to have to go to court and answer for this. And we want to make sure that if you're on the stand getting questioned by a defense attorney or a prosecutor or whoever... that you can articulate these things and, and handle at least the basics of, Oh, this is my thought process in the moment, totality of circumstances.

1317.846 - 1322.553 Will

So yeah, the thing I'm talking about is literally the exact same thing. I've done one of those before as well.

1323.154 - 1343.18 Mikhail Gonzalez

And let me, let me, Let me, I'm sorry. There's one thing I wanted to make clear. He asked me, did you hear him say, I will kill the baby? And I was like, no, I just saw him go like this. And so I took the shot and he's like, you didn't hear him say, I'll kill the baby. No, he played it again. Dude clearly said, I'll kill the baby. Yeah. I completely missed that part, but all I saw was ag.

1343.2 - 1343.801 Mikhail Gonzalez

That's all I needed.

Chapter 5: What are the benefits of using different types of ammunition?

1982.35 - 1996.31 Will

I know that there are ranges like that that are indoor where it's like 100 yards. It's basically a basketball stadium of a range, and you can shoot pretty much 180 degrees and be safe. I've just never shot in one of those.

0

1997.091 - 2020.935 Mikhail Gonzalez

The tactical bays at my range, both the north and the south location, are... They're not only... They're game changers. That's really what they are. They're game changers because they're giving you opportunities you would not normally find anywhere else outside of outside.

0

2021.616 - 2044.779 Will

Yes. And that's why I like where we went night shooting and there's another local range that has some bays like that, where you can do a lot more dynamic stuff. If you've got the place to yourself, it's, it's, it's just better overall than, Hey, stand here, shoot that target right in front of you and nothing else.

0

2045.38 - 2045.58 Unknown

Yeah.

0

2046.041 - 2051.528 Will

Um, and I find it far more.

2052.892 - 2082.797 Will

pleasurable for one i mean it's it's the same thing as what you're talking about except like you said it's outside so you don't get all the echo um but even if it had to be indoor like i think the worst thing you can do to a brand new shooter or somebody that's thinking about getting a gun for the first time is take them to an indoor range because the noise and the reverberation will piss them off it'll it'll scare them off absolutely and you've got other people on the line shooting at the same time creating even more of that noise and reverberation

2082.997 - 2100.229 Mikhail Gonzalez

That's what I was thinking of as the other people. I didn't say that specifically, but I have run into some boisterous individuals at my range indoors, and it can be intimidating. You're like, I'm just trying to put the holes in the paper. Can you guys shut the fuck up, please?

2101.051 - 2128.917 Will

Mm-hmm. uh dusky asked where my content mostly is yes youtube and rumble i do have all my stuff auto port over to rumble however i haven't posted anything since gun con of 2024 that's something i have to fix i have to unfuck my life but i'll get there that'll take a while it you know what it will take the rest of my life however long that is

2130.044 - 2157.639 Will

But that's one of the reasons I agreed to be part of this podcast is because I figured it would get me a little bit more motivated to go make more content, which I did a few weeks ago. I just haven't gotten enough to put together and edit and post a video. I like long form stuff. I don't like the shorts and the reels and all the Gen Z fucking new kid on the block things. I like to do stuff.

Chapter 6: What insights can be gained from the hosts' training experiences?

2307.763 - 2310.946 Will

I was about to say that's like saying clip in magazine, but okay.

0

2310.966 - 2313.748 Mikhail Gonzalez

No, it's not, because those are different things.

0

2315.315 - 2319.745 Will

Yeah, but I was going to fuck with you. You just got to it quicker than I did.

0

2320.185 - 2326.218 Mikhail Gonzalez

Fucking do a whole podcast thinking Clippin Magazine mean the same. Get the fuck out of here.

0

2326.519 - 2345.998 Will

Yeah. Welcome to the Clippazine podcast. No, thank you. Okay. So I have a question and I know you have to step away for a minute. So I'll ask you, you give me your answer and then I will go on a tirade about my answer.

2346.419 - 2349.843 Mikhail Gonzalez

Yes. Please give me your tirade so I can go pee. I would appreciate that.

2349.863 - 2365.285 Will

Yes. I guess I'll ask myself the question first. And when you get back, I'll ask you the question. So for a little while, guys, you're going to have to deal with this lovely voice all on its own. Why are you not leaving right now to go pee?

2365.585 - 2367.107 Mikhail Gonzalez

Well, you were going to ask me the question.

2368.069 - 2373.957 Will

I said I would ask myself first so you could go pee. I'm trying to be nice. It's a rare thing. Take advantage.

Chapter 7: How do cultural differences affect perceptions of firearms training?

2605.249 - 2607.671 Will

So that's fair. There are four rules.

0

2611.235 - 2616.621 Mikhail Gonzalez

Okay, fine. Um...

0

2619.942 - 2642.831 Will

While you're thinking about it, Dr. Scary Guy, I'm assuming he's talking about an AR in an AK podcast, but he says sometimes I use index finger to put on the safety. I do that pretty much exclusively with ambi safety ARs. Oh, yeah. It's faster, it's more comfortable, and I know my finger is nowhere near the trigger at that point.

0

2643.352 - 2660.008 Mikhail Gonzalez

That's my safety, sir. Yes. No, I'm with you. I was actually teaching the fundamentals class that I teach weekly today. We just decided that today was going to be the day we're going to play with rifles. And one of them had an ambidextrous safety.

0

2660.108 - 2681.569 Mikhail Gonzalez

And I was like, so with you and your ambi safety, all you have to do to put the safety back on when you come down is drag your finger right along the bottom of it. And he's like, that? I was like, you didn't know that? No. Now you do. So he started dragging his finger on the bottom, and he was starting to put it on safe, and he's like, I like that.

2683.571 - 2689.758 Will

Speed doesn't really matter as much when you're putting it on safe, but it's still just, I don't know, it's ergonomic.

2690.058 - 2699.688 Mikhail Gonzalez

You should never rush to reholster your gun, whether that means putting it on safe and going to low ready or actually reholstering it. You should never rush to reholster your gun.

2699.708 - 2707.68 Will

1,000%. However, it's still nice to be able to do it quickly in case you need to use your hands for something else.

2708.08 - 2708.521 Mikhail Gonzalez

That's fair.

Chapter 8: What humorous anecdotes illustrate the hosts' camaraderie?

3507.27 - 3530.096 Will

Not the little packs of ramen, but the microwavable styrofoam cups of ramen that you can buy at the store that are more expensive. I can get hot drink, cold drink, hot soup for about the same price as one of those things from an American grocery store. And the soup will be better.

0

3531.277 - 3531.718 Mikhail Gonzalez

It will be.

0

3532.699 - 3542.448 Will

Also, you can get purple sweet potato Kit Kats, which are my favorite Kit Kat ever. I knew I'd get the weeb with that one.

0

3545.671 - 3551.537 Unknown

You muted yourself. You're still muted.

0

3553.999 - 3558.904 Mikhail Gonzalez

There it is. I moved my computer half an inch, mute.

3559.863 - 3600.271 Will

Well, that's further than you move your pelvis at certain times. So anyway... Anyway, Japan has some cool things. I bought my first and only MP7 in Japan. How did you... What? It was one of those little models that you put together that's like action figure size. But yeah, it was actually two MP7s. One of them had a suppressor. One of them didn't.

3603.695 - 3619.536 Will

But I always wanted an MP7 and I wanted to buy a gun in Japan. That was the closest I could get because I didn't want to spend legit air, like really good airsoft gun money. And I didn't have a way to figure out how to legally get it back because Japanese rules and American customs and all the things.

3623.65 - 3646.215 Mikhail Gonzalez

that's that's one thing i wish i'd kind of gotten into as much as i liked guns when i got there i didn't like them near as much as when i got back but it would have been cool to get into airsoft over there yeah and so did you ever go to akihabara i'm assuming you did to what akihabara

3649.469 - 3656.656 Will

It's like the nerd mecca in Tokyo. It's where they have all the tech shops and the airsoft shops and all the things.
