Welcome back to another episode of AK-47 Radio. The only radio guaranteed to shoot your enemies in the balls. Double or nothing. As always tonight, we have our Cosmonaut General, Mikhail Gonsalves. He did not go to space. He is still stuck here in Colorado. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. But he's still considered space cadet.
We have our comrade commissar of all things PDW, William, and still back demoted being party janitor. I'm Sam Alexander.
Well, after your last performance review, you're lucky you still have that job.
Yeah, right.
What a nerd. Can I go back to being a sanitation worker? Janitor's just way too much pressure. How about we just sanitize you? We're going to start off with a question tonight from the chat. AR Drew says he has a friend who is obsessed with 40 Smith and Wesson. How can he free this man from the sin of homosexuality? Well, sir, I will defer to Mike for that question.
We all have answers for this, I think.
My legitimate answer is 40 is not as gay as everybody claims it is. You're wrong. Hold on. Shut the fuck up and let me talk. The reason it's not as gay as everybody says it is is because it still is effective. It still serves a purpose. I particularly have a niche for it, but I'm one of the few that actually does have a niche for it.
I'm not going to go buy a 10 mil Glock to serve my bear hunting defense niche, so I just load up my other Glock with 200 grain hard cast lead. and take that into the woods with me. So when I have a Glock 17 with a 9mm barrel and a Glock, that is horrible, Sam. I did not do it. He did it. That was my fault. He went into the triple pant. It was awful. Like cartoonists.

Chapter 2: How do you prepare for a land navigation class?
Somehow, the Springfield 1903 is chambered in a cartridge that came out three years after it did. So, can you explain?
Yeah, Arsenal re-chambered them when they went from primarily black powder to smokeless powder.
What were they chambered in before that?
Crag.
It was .307 Winchester, which is basically just a rimmed .308. That's not right. It was a .30-03. I mixed up a different... I mixed up, like, .308 and .307. Anyway, they were chambered in .30-03, which was a... Like, .30-06, now they have the tapered bullet designs. .30-03 has the, like, big, long, slender, round-tip design.
Kind of like the bullets that were... I mean, it's pre-Spitzer bullet.
Yes, that's what it is. It's... 30-06 is a .30-03 with a spitzer bullet.
Much like the M14, though. Nobody cares about the weird redhead stepchild that comes between two other more long-lived things. .30-40 Krag and .30-06. Like, this whole .30-03, nobody knows who he is. No one's ever heard of him. He probably likes .40 Cal.
Sam's been right a lot lately, and it's making me very uncomfortable.

Chapter 3: What gear is recommended for land navigation?
This must be what me talking about Echronoplon feels like to you guys.
Yes.
Exactly.
Mike heard UHF, VHF, DMR, GPS, APRS, digital LMR encryption, and he was like... I only know what half of that stuff means. I'm surprised you know half of that stuff.
Well, he's wrong about the half that he knows. I'm pretty sure I know what AM means.
That's morning, right? I also never said AM.
Well, Dusky in the chat asked if it does AM, and it does FM AM, I believe.
It does FM.
It doesn't do AM?

Chapter 4: What are the benefits of using a TAPs rig for navigation?
I will say that if you are not a radio person, one, go watch a shit ton of YouTube videos because everybody and their mother makes YouTube videos. And a lot of foreigners I've noticed like UK, Australia, like The ones with the accents the women think are sexy, those guys make a crap ton of videos about radios.
We make videos about guns because they can't have guns, so they got to find something else cool to talk about over there. There's a lot of good information, but I think the UV5R is the best way to start because, again, it's cheap. It gives you a lot of capability for not very much money, and the learning curve is way lower.
Like, Sam, you'll see when you come over and we – Oh, I already scrolled through the damn menu – or not the menu. I scrolled through the manual and watched a couple videos and –
I never opened the manual. I went straight off of videos. Programming this thing made programming UV5R look like adding an app from the Google Play Store. This thing is way more complicated. It's not insurmountable, but I'm also not that smart.
I mean, it looked like it wasn't going to be impossible to wade through. Just take a little bit of time.
It's not. It's just there can be some frustrations, and you got to figure some things out intuitively. This is the next step for the radio beginner. The UV5R is the first step for the radio beginner.
UV5R is definitely the first step. I'm very much interested in the encryption side on these. I want to get that up and running and see how it all pans out. That's exactly why I bought it. That's exactly why I bought this one.
And for the price, if you screw it up or if you brick it,
my main concern on breaking it is uh it is not i mean it's uh oh what is that crap called isp rating letter for waterproof oh yeah it's not great now but i mean if you break it in the software it it's not a two thousand dollar motorola oh yeah totally not So that'll be interesting coming on up.

Chapter 5: How do different calibers perform in practical applications?
He's going to be like, all right, sit on down here on this stool right here. Drop them. Let me see it. I'm good. I changed my mind.
Actually, it probably has to be very flaccid in order for that to work properly anyway. So it's probably a good thing in this grand scheme of things.
Probably. Okay. I don't know.
moving on the other thing i was playing is that i don't think i was messing around with last night is my uh assault pack that i got with that big old um rifleman kit from ammo can man um just getting it kind of packed to go that i don't think there's gonna be a lot of moving around but it's like i'm gonna i want to take some weight with me just to shake down some of the gear but the the
Fun fact that I found out that I actually really like, and I think I want to build a whole chest rig out of them one day, but the Spiritus spud pouches might be my favorite flapped mag pouch now. I have been having this thing sitting around for ages. It's a knockoff spud. It's not a legitimate Spiritus one, but it holds two AK mags. Wunderbar.
Mm-hmm.
But now threw a canteen pouch on there to attach the waste pack to the bottom. I meant to go get two compression sacks to compress my bivy sack and then like a whoopee in there to have that for a little sleep roll at the bottom, but forgot to get compression sacks. And then trying to utilize all the pouches that came in that kit as much as possible.
The e-tool pouch actually doesn't make for a half bad just general purpose pouch. Threw like folding saw in there.
the usgi they're like the little ifac inserts but it's essentially like a little trifold it doesn't have everything that it used to have in here this is a spare one but it's like a little trifold dude for a an ifac with lots of little loops and shit great little fucking organizers for sticking stuff inside of like a pouch but got one of those in there fire making kit in there other shit so yeah it'll be fun we'll haul that stuff out get some pictures of it get some shakedown on it see how it all goes

Chapter 6: What are the pros and cons of 40 Smith & Wesson versus 9mm?
But that's too much goddamn effort.
Oh, no, it's not. Okay, whatever. But prime rib, we can all agree on. Oh, yeah.
That's a waste of meat.
Yeah.
Okay, that I agree.
No, prime rib. I bought a prime rib, I think it was two years ago. No, it was 2024 for Christmas. I looked at this thing and went, okay, I made some prime rib. Now I'm going to cut it into steaks because what a waste of time. What is prime rib? The backstrap? It's a fucking giant stack of ribeyes.
that would explain why I like it. I do. Yes. Rib eyes are good, but, but, but a chunk of rib eyes, you need like a rib eye state. Yeah. All right.
I mean, it does come, it is basically, you know, the back strap off the top of the rib and all that fun crap.
Okay.

Chapter 7: What should you consider when choosing a radio for outdoor use?
Fuck it. That's what she said. Yeah, that's the press issues I've got. And then I thought, hey, this is a great time to clean my rifle. May as well go do that. So I pulled the PCC apart and I... start to cleaning it, wiping down the receiver and stuff.
And then I go to pull my silent capture spring out of it and set the silent capture spring down on the table on the, the cleaning mat, at which point the little end piece, the end cap on the, the, so the way the silent capture spring works, it's got the, the weight and they slide with the spring to absorb the, the, inertia of the shot being fired.
Well, there's an end cap that goes way down at the end of your buffer tube, like right up where your shoulder would be. And that little end plate snapped, shot my spring across the room. I set it down on the cleaning pad and then about two seconds later, it just snaps and spring goes right across the room. I was like, what the fuck just happened?
Did it also destroy your buffer detent or does that have a buffer detent in it? mike's like um i may have an additional issue i don't know what the buffer detent is It's the little thing. Okay.
So they get the little nipple that you push down. No, you take that out with the silent capture spring. So it doesn't happen anymore.
You know that meme? You know the meme where it's like the genie asks three things or whatever, and there's always data.
There are four things.
Oh, yeah. You can't ask for something. I want to ask for every time you push the buffer detent down on a rifle, the rifle goes, ooh.
All right.

Chapter 8: How can you effectively manage your gear for outdoor activities?
All right, I guess I'll just smile and move on and shoot something else, whatever.
Yep.
Because I was going to take that to the range and shoot a whole bunch of those rounds. I may, in fact, shoot the entire case I loaded out of the rifle, just to be sure, because I damn sure don't want to take any of those rounds to a match with the pistol and have... One of the mis-sized rounds jammed my gun in the middle of a... That would suck.
Talk about pressure. Okay, Mike.
Huh?
Okay, maybe Sam didn't mean to make a pun or a dad joke there.
I didn't hear what he said because you both talked at the same time. And when you're both whispering sweet nothings, I can hear nothing.
Yeah, same. He said, no pressure. pressure, seat depth.
Oh, I said talk about pressure.
