Chapter 1: What unique camouflage gear is discussed at the beginning?
Camouflage isn't just for the woods. It's for looking cool. Camerado makes gear that disappears in nature but looks good at Costco. Zero tactical cringe. Camerado. C-A-M-O-R-A-D-O dot com.
Welcome back to another episode of AK-47 Radio. The best guns in the motherland. Stamped, never milled. Duh. That was supposed to be like a James Bond reference, but it didn't come off very well. Tonight, as always, we have Head of Space Division, Mikhail Gonsalves. Boris the Commissar, who is apparently invincible but not here tonight.
And I am probably one of the computer technicians that gets killed by the chick in the GoldenEye facility. Sam Alexander. Duh. By your girlfriend. Wait, no. Sorry, I watched GoldenEye recently, and so now everything in my life has to do with GoldenEye.
Dude, I almost watched it yesterday and I regret not watching it because I love that movie. That was my first Bond movie ever that I saw when I was a kid. See, that movie came out like 1994 or 95 or something like that. So it came out when I was 11 or 12.
and i ended up getting it on tape at some point i never saw it in theaters but i got it on tape or uh yeah because when i started collecting movies i was collecting vhs tapes and then dvds came out and i was like what what the hell all the say all the space savings right i was just mad i bought all these tapes for like 15 bucks a piece yeah and now they're essentially trash but anyway golden eye is one of those like classic favorites and not only that it uh
I do think it's genuinely one of the best Bond films of all time. Mainly because one of the reasons I like it so much is because it's not one of the typical have henchmen in the back poking brightly lit buttons that do nothing. Everything was a fairly realistic, if not realistic, terroristic approach to Bond. A really high tech bank robbery is what it amounted to.
Um, and like the ending in the, the base in Cuba, it got real close to henchmen with brightly lit buttons that do nothing. But thankfully, um, they just had a couple of guys that worked stations with workstation buttons that didn't do anything. Probably.
It was probably, I don't think it was the first, I don't remember. Uh, first James Bond movie I ever saw was probably either golden eye or gold finger. Well, the two golds. I have strong memories of both of them as a child. And then like, go ahead.

Chapter 2: Who are the guests featured in this episode?
No, uh, I was just going to say they're both staples. I haven't even seen all of the movies. I've seen most of them. I don't know which ones I've not seen because you don't know what you don't know.
I think I've seen all of them because growing up in a rural area, the bookmobile would come by. Do you know what a bookmobile is? I do, in fact. Well, if people don't know what a bookmobile is, just imagine an RV that's like a little library on wheels. And it goes to all those poor kids in the boonies who can't get to a library.
It's like the Wienermobile, but...
better better i would agree books instead of wieners but they'd have a little dvd section too and they'd had a rotation of the various bond films it felt like so i'm sure over the course of four or five years i saw all of them better for better and worse although as a kid i liked them all as an adult i'd look back and go all right some of those especially a couple of those roger moore ones are a little hokey
Yeah, some of them. And honestly, Roger Moore was... I didn't like Roger Moore as a Bond. He was just... The tone was a little off. You know what? That's exactly it. It was his tone. It was like Roger Moore himself didn't take the role seriously and gave every little line he did just a tiny bit of sass.
Yeah, just a little too much sass. Sean Connery had the witticism to him, but also he could do the hard edge. And then there's the dude they had in the middle, which I think was the one with the ski resort, which I like just because it involves skiing.
The Timothy Dalton one? Yeah, was that who it was? There was Timothy Dalton, Sean Connery, Roger Moore. George Lisensby did one. George Lisensby did On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
I think that's the one in between. Yeah, because it's like 1969.
Which is also one of the best.

Chapter 3: What are the hosts' thoughts on the James Bond films?
Yep. I think the most of them I've ever seen was in Moonraker.
Oh, God. Moonraker. That's what, as a kid, I liked. And then looking back, it's like... It's so dumb. This movie's a little weird.
Honestly, though, but the Nintendo 64 game, GoldenEye, that came about because of the movie, just... Oh, yeah. Absolutely. One of the two best Nintendo 64 games. The other one was Mario Kart.
Yeah, I agree with that. Moonraker was weird. Most of the Sean Connery runs I remember liking. Oh, Goldfinger. Yeah, though I already said Goldfinger. Man with a Golden Gun. It was one of the three gold ones I think were on the rotation the most. Because I watched GoldenEye a lot. And then the Pierce Brosnan.
So yeah, a lot of those middle ones with Roger Moore were really kind of doofy and weird. And then you get to Pierce Brosnan. GoldenEye was good. The World is Not Enough was pretty good. The last two, I think I've only seen once because they were... There's the one with the guy who has the stealth ship and he's manipulating the Chinese and the British to go to war. That one's not terrible.
Tomorrow Never Dies.
That one's not terrible.
I like it. It's not as good as GoldenEye, though. And yeah, the whole China thing and the media mogul, like, that was... The media mogul part was like, oh, okay, that's interesting, but the rest of it was kind of meh.
And then that last one, I think, with the one... Die Another Day?

Chapter 4: How do the hosts feel about different James Bond actors?
I don't believe that he's the best Bond, but he's absolutely a national treasure. Oh, no, no, no. Sean Connery is absolutely the best Bond. The second best is Roger Moore. I was literally saying this before you showed up that I think Pierce Brosnan has the best chemistry with the role of all of them. And George Lisensby did a really damn good job, too.
Yes, but okay, Pierce Brosnan, you're only saying that because you grew up in that era and he was your original Bond. I actually started watching, I think it was... I'm from the 60s, Shunny. I think it was TNT or Spike TV did a marathon of all the Bond movies. back when you had to suffer through commercials and shit.
And I remember watching them mostly in order, but obviously I didn't catch them all at the right time on the right days. And so I started with Connery. But Pierce Brosnan does hold a place in my heart. Yeah, I love the Connery movies. I think they're fantastic. We were literally talking like the Timothy Dalton ones are a little...
And AR-15 podcast in the chat says, tell me you're not eating that for the shape. Only for the mouthfeel. Eating it for the shape and the mouthfeel. Yeah, he knows. He said it. Bananas are a little mushy, but they're also kind of grainy. That's their mouthfeel. It's almost a little veiny. Maybe it may be a little bit.
Have we talked about mouthfeel on this show before about how you can look at any textured surface in your right? Yes, you brought you bring it up a lot. All right. All right. Just wanted to make sure we've talked about mouthfeel. But anyway, I actually disliked Roger Moore as I think he's actually the worst bond. I think he's the campiest bond. Well, that may not be true. No, no, no, no.
What's the one that nobody can ever remember his name? Not Timothy Dalton, the other one that only did like one movie. George Lazensby. He did on Her Majesty's Secret Service the story of Bond and his wife and how she died. He might be the campiest, but Roger Moore is up there. But it was also, what, the 70s? Yeah.
It was a dark time in American history.
It was like James Bond and Smokey and the Bandit had a baby. Yeah.
That's fair.

Chapter 5: What insights are shared about the AK-47 and its variants?
That movie started my obsession with the AKS-74U because that's what Bond uses in the beginning and uses in the... Now, that gun gets a lot of screen time. Because it's sexy. 006 tosses Bond 1 right in the beginning. And then the auto top chick massacres all the computer nerds with one. And then bond uses one cruising through the streets.
And then he uses one to hold the, to hold, he holds one on double Oh six and the Russian general and a little Mexican standoff. And he's got the fucking stocks folded. He's got it. I mean, he's not aiming down the sites cause he's, he's basically staring down the center line of the receiver with it up here in front of his face.
Bond only uses sites if it's a scope. Otherwise, it's all point shoot. And even then, he can 360 no scope like a motherfucker. Facts. Because he's James Bond. Now, that's all. I haven't seen the movie in quite a while, actually, so I should give it a... The whole thing that spawned this was that he had watched GoldenEye recently, and I literally yesterday...
yeah, yesterday was scrolling through movies to watch. And I was like, man, I haven't seen golden eye in a while. And I did that pause where you almost choose the movie and then you go find something else.
yeah i recently actually i have most of them on dvd and i was recently going through starting with dr no and i kind of got tired of bond and went off to something else i think i went to underworld from bond but yeah that's a series there's no there's no ak's in underworld is there i don't there are there are Yeah, in Underworld 2. Actually, I take that back.
Spoiler alert if you haven't seen, by the way, fucking fantastic movies because Kate Beckinsale is hot as shit. Not anymore. Not anymore. Not anymore. It's pretty much the typical of the good guys use German and American guns and the bad guys use commie guns. So the Vikings pretty much use AKs when they have rifles. Fair enough. It's been a long time since I've seen those.
In the world, too, they're in Russia or some Russian-adjacent country. So the cops have it. Generic Eastern European land.
Yes.
The cops have AKs and the furry hats with the star on them. I love the furry hats. I have one of those. The furry hats with the floppy-doos for your ears, but nobody ever has them flopped down to protect their ears, even in the biting cold. Because it's a pain in the ass to tie them back up. Well, that's why American technology is better, comrade, because I have one that's American.

Chapter 6: What are the challenges of using M-LOK systems?
But you can... Shit happens. You probably did fine. Yeah. I'm probably just being harder on myself than I should be because that's what I do. I beat myself up. This is the way. This is the way. But it was a lot of fun. The extended mag releases that I put on a couple weeks ago, those worked fantastically. There were numerous reload stages, and the reloads worked out really well.
Instead of me fumbling for a mag release, I pressed it and they came out. makes me think that that's what Glock should have had on there the entire time and why they went with the shorter one. I'll never know. Duh. Um, I don't know that, but I haven't really done anything. I teach the, I teach the humans. We went through some drills today. Um,
Actually, I found a good dry fire drill on the internet that I may as well share with you. You get two targets, regardless of how many targets you can do, two, ten, five, I don't give a shit, but you get a number of targets and you put them distances away from each other, not short distances, and
Like you stand in the middle of the room, one's to your 90, one's to your 180, one's to your like 10 or 11 o'clock, whatever the hell degrees that would be like regardless. Yeah. the idea being that you start looking for your target, you pivot to your target, you get on target, you get squared up with them, draw, get on target, uh, and then target transition where you have to move your body.
Um, we didn't do the move your body cause my students are pretty new. Um, but I put two tart, one target, um, about 45 degrees to their left and one to their right. And I had them from the middle of them draw, turn... take two fake shots because we're dry firing at the left target, and then transition to the right target.
And before we talked about transitions, I told them about how you either point with your knee in the target side knee, or you drop your non-target side knee. Either one accomplishes it, but dropping your knee, it's actually faster and smoother. Or you just bring a grenade.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, a grenade works, but it works really well. Basically, don't tank turret. Right. Tank turreting is for movement.
Yes.

Chapter 7: How do the hosts approach cleaning and maintaining their firearms?
I mean, this is still this would be quite a bit. Yeah. But then again, like I'm concealing it, but I'm not really concealing it because I'm in my house doing stupid shit. It's not like you're worried about printing with that. Exactly. But yeah, it would still be uncomfortable to hold between a belt and my belly. Yeah, probably. Yes, does not sound quite belly comfortable.
But then again, normal inside the waistband concealed carry is also not comfortable, but it's not supposed to be. It's supposed to be comforting. Yeah. Is it comforting? It is comforting to know that if I need to not die, I have an opportunity to help myself not die. I like that. Not dying is high on my list too. Despite our best efforts. I could take it or leave it.
One of my favorite things to say at work is, huh, despite my best efforts, I learned something today. That's another good one. I might steal that for my work.
Chapter 8: What are the final thoughts and takeaways from this episode?
By all means, tax it. It's yours. I mean, you could try the... Are you a big Instagram meme guy? Not even a little bit. In fact, okay, can I go on a rant for a minute? Because this has been bugging the shit out of me. Oh, no. I have some friends, and I love the crap out of my friends. Okay, so you're talking about us. Got it. Not talking about you guys, actually. I'm not disparaging these people.
I won't name them. What do you mean by these people? Yes. You people. No. But what is it with the modern man, like the modern male, who he wants to have a bro friendship with people. which is cool. Okay. That's good. We need that in our lives. We need, we need testosterone. We need to share that experience with each other. But instead of just saying, Hey man, what's up? How you doing?
No, I'm going to send you an Instagram reel or a Facebook reel or what? Like something. And that's the only form of conversation we have. Why not just be like, Hey man, how's it going? You still alive? Because I laughed at this, now you must laugh at this. Yeah, but I don't laugh at it most of the time.
And half the time or more than half the time, it's a meme or a reel that I've seen before because it's on the internet. I don't even go on Facebook or Instagram. But I've seen this before. It's like, okay, cool. This is how we connect and interact now as men. Instead of going to the tavern, getting drunk, and sharing our ideas about the universe. We should go to the tavern and get drunk.
It's cheaper to get drunk at home. Yeah. Well, by the tavern, he means Das RV garage that we went to and got drunk at. I was actually thinking the opposite. I was actually thinking that maybe we should go out to a tavern. That would be a hell of a lot of fun to just, you know, drink the beers. All of them. I have to buy an ale horn first. What'd you call me? Oh, I've called you a lot of things.
You gotta be more specific. So anyway.
Sam, what did you do with the guns? All the things. None of my guns have remained unmolested this week. Except for one. Which of them are happy they're paint-free? So, got different optic mount in.
for the crank to move the basically this is a knock off of a zetico mount so we'll see if it holds up but moves the red dot picatinny rail up to the rear sight instead of being on the gas tube because i hate that gas tube nonsense two questions one who makes that two do you still have a functional rear iron china and yes i'd well i mean if i pop out two screws yes it does it's not a permanent modification it just clamps on
So we'll see if it holds up. We'll put some rounds through.
