I've never seen the second one.
I thought that was very fitting because right now we need some boondock saints. We do. Man, you've been on a tear lately on social media. And I'm not letting off the throttle. I am not letting off the throttle. This needs a straight up purge. Yeah. Yeah. I'm all for it, dude. And I would vote for that. Burn it all down. Burn it down. Anyway, on tonight's episode, we've got news and new products.

See, that's dedication right there. Yeah, it is. Because I went home and went to bed. Probably wanted to call their shit off. We'll do it another day. Just being honest. Mm-hmm. That's it. Went and saw Bud Weber last Sunday. I got off work about noon, so I looked at the... GPS, and I'm like, yeah, he's just over an hour away. Fuck, I need to go buy shoes at Bass Pro anyway. Nice.

Chapter 2: What are the latest gun news and product announcements?
Vinny's big into quarter boards. Yeah. Vinny's been into the quarter boards for years and years. He's a pretty diehard single quarter board. He hasn't really. You know what we got to do is we got to get Tom and Vinny in here. Oh, that'd be good. We'll just sit back and let those two talk. We'll just have an episode about the quarter boards. The holiness of the quarter.
Yeah, and we'll just randomly interject and tell them how gay the cartridge is. No, because I'm all porn barrel shot out. That's where I'm going is 25 by 47. I can't talk shit right now because Tom Roberts saved us the other day. He did. That'd be nice. He kept your door from falling completely off. Our door at the shop literally fell off the hinges.
The inside of the metal door, the part of the door that the hinge physically mounts to broke off. So the hinges were still intact, but the thing that they were attached to wasn't. And so Tom, he heard us shut the door. He's like, what the fuck is that? Walks back there. He's like, I'll be back tomorrow. He came back, ripped the whole door off, grinded everything down, remounted a hinge.
Put a piano hinge from top to bottom. And then he put a security bracket over it so people couldn't cut the hinge off. And then he didn't have a door sweep, so he came back on Sunday and installed the door sweep while we were locked up. It was home improvement day down at Full Circle last year. Yeah, we had a lot of construction happen at the same time. We had...
I'm in there with a freaking hammer drill while they're trying. And it was packed in there. It was busy. And I just kept yelling out, it's going to get noisy for a second. Yeah, you had McBride hammer drilling up front. You had Sam taking barrels on and off and running in and out of the back room. And you had Tom in the back grinding the door. We had a lot of moving parts at the same time.
Tom keeps all of our doors, our big doors going at Sire. He's first call. As soon as there's an issue, call Tom. He'll get it fixed. He's an awesome dude. He is. He's one of the better human beings I've ever met. Yes. Wonderful. Love that guy. Let's not get carried away. We don't want to get his head blown up. Unless he's listening to this episode, in which case he's an a-hole.
And he's pretty gay, too. He's an a-hole. Sometimes a little retarded. He hangs out with us, so I mean, fuck, it might be contagious. My point. Look, he may be retired, but he's our retard. That's right. That's right. That's right. How are you, Amy? Good. Glad to be back. What have you been doing? Learning. Lots of shit. Your new job? My new job. How's that going? Awesome. She's killing it.
Making all kinds of shit for the military. If I could take pictures and show you guys, I would, but I need my job. No, I'm learning so much. Good. Some of that shit's so hard, but it's so cool. It's a wild place, isn't it? It is. There's so much stuff going on in there. Yeah, they make some amazing shit there. It's cool. You were telling me it was all a bunch of retards and gay fuckers. It is.
It is. It is. Certain areas. Certain areas. But she's starting to learn now why my beard's so gray and I'm only 42. Because I'm one of them fucking retards trying to make this stuff. There's a few people in there that I don't have a really good job at controlling my face. But I'm trying to get better. Don't worry about it. No, just, yeah, been busy working. I tried that once.

Chapter 3: What challenges do new shooters face?
Alan and I are like the only ones that don't have one yet. I can't pay a yearly subscription on a fucking video game. It's not that much. It's $160 a year for a video game. You spend more than that on coffee and freaking Red Bulls and shit. Here's mine. Coffee makes me happy. So does shooting. I've got two hangups with the ACE. One is the annual subscription.
Just charge me a thousand bucks for a lifetime and I'll be done with it. I'm good with that. Right. And number two, it's the only thing you can play. That's it. It's not like when you buy a PlayStation or an Xbox and you can play. Oh, yeah, you can. Oh, yeah, you can. When you buy the VR, you can just download whatever you want. You can play. There's millions of freaking things you can go into.
Ace is just one of the games for the VR. I didn't know that. The VR is just like your PlayStation. I thought it was specific to that. You can buy shit. You can go up to the space station. Yeah, I've done that. Well, I don't want to do that. You can download, like, Call of Duty. You can rub one out in space, bro. Dude, I'm 53 years old. Just rubbing one out anywhere. I can do it in space. Yeah.
I didn't know that. Yeah. Okay. That may change the game for me a little bit. Because I've got a PlayStation 4, and I've been thinking about getting a PS5 so I can play Battlefield 6. Right? Yeah, six. But I'm buying the PlayStation just to play that one game. Which headset did you get? Is it the MetaQuest? Three. The three. That's the same one I have. Yeah.
So you can get the handhelds and get your virtual, like you can do fighter jets and it puts it. I can't do the fighter jet. I get motion sickness. Yeah. I try.

Chapter 4: How do different calibers compare in shooting performance?
We downloaded Iron Man because I'm like, this will be fucking sick. I couldn't even get to the tutorial. I thought it was going to puke. I'm like, it turns out not for me. We downloaded another game. It was World War II, fighter planes. I'm like, all right, yeah, I can sit down and play. Nope, still get fucking sick. I can't do it.
I can't even just take it off because you're sitting on the couch. It's just like you're in a cockpit. So you're reaching forward. You're hitting all the buttons. You're turning the fuel on. You're doing the flaps, the whole thing. As soon as you take off, I look over. My body not moving, but the plane moving at 400 miles an hour. Can't do it. That's fair. I get it.
So on some people's weight loss journeys, you can buy the donut thing that's got a dish in the bottom. You can run. You literally can run. Just the physical fitness that some of these games are offering in this quest. Cole was playing some sword game on it. He's got some blaster game. You've got to hit the squares as they're coming at you at the angle. It's called Beat Saber. That's it.
And one of the levels is called Fit Saber. I can't finish the level. You want to do a leg cardio workout? I have to change before playing the level. At one level by itself, I will change into gym clothes. I watched a guy on YouTube that beat the hardest, fastest level on that. Yeah, I don't have it in me. It was how in the hell. This guy, he has to be a robot. I'm like, how in the hell is he?
You watch the video. It's unreal. You had to come over and just try it. It's so much fun. I've played the Ace, but I thought the Ace was, that was the only thing. No, no, no. I wouldn't have paid. I wouldn't have bought it if that was the case. I wouldn't have paid $700 just to be able to play that one game. You can play a bunch of stuff. You can watch YouTube.
Yeah, you can watch movies on Netflix. I wouldn't go that far. If you
get online you could look up like free meta quest three games or whatever and i'd really and i'd really like to have a i really want a an ar rifle to go with it yep got them got them yep i'm ordering the cg checkmate frame for the game yes yeah there's there's also because by the way uh amy has a parrot she's gonna she's gonna want us a 3d printer one multicolored like a parrot yeah
I got you, girl. They actually make a rifle frame for the non-ace. It's like these little handles with a loop on them. They snap into the rifle frame. That way you actually have something rigid to hold on to to play games with. The only thing I don't like about the ace is... The way the handheld, the aiming comes out of the bottom for the Ace. So the way it goes into the gun.
So you can't use that gun for any other games. Yeah. Because when you're holding it like the normal games, it points out of your grip. Right. That's the only thing I don't like about it. Other than that, it's great. I just can't do the subscription. Let me buy the game or not. I can't subscribe to a video game that I'm going to play a dozen times a year. Yeah.

Chapter 5: What are the drawbacks of using laser sights on firearms?
This next dude's a complete idiot. Mounted lights and, well... I agree with the mounted lights and or lasers gives away your position. That part's dumb. Laser sights on pistols, I think, are dumb. I do, too. There was a lot on this one. Yeah, I think laser sights are super gay. This next guy is wonderful. Read it, DJ. Lasers and scopes.
If you can't hit the target anywhere within 50 yards and iron sights, you shouldn't be shooting. So that's exactly the type of comment I'm talking about. Exactly. Like, if you put a scope on your shit, it makes shooting easier. Yes. Yes, it does. That's the whole point. That's why we do it. But it's cheating. But we're going to go back to single-shot sharps and, yeah. Because, you know, with...
I don't know. Aptures might be cheating. And you know half these guys that make these comments, if you tested them, their skills, they would absolutely fail. I guarantee 100% of these dumbass comments, if they shot the drills that we're doing every month, they'll fail. 100% of them will fail. They probably couldn't even get their pistol out of the holster safely.
If they will pass the accuracy standard, most of them will fail the time standard. Guaranteed.
Chapter 6: Why is it important to identify threats before using a firearm?
Well, they'd be going into the bullseye pose and hand talk. So this next one, this is the one that I really enjoyed kind of following the responses for this one. So this lights on handguns, and then the ones below this are some of the responses. On carry guns, you are correct. Dedicated home defense pistols, you are not. Which also... It doesn't make sense to me either.
It doesn't make any sense at all, man. Well, one of the guys said that you don't want to light on your gun because you have home field advantage. You know the inside of your house, and the enemy doesn't. Yeah, so how do you know that's not a relative or your wife got up to eat the cake like an arts circumstance? See, for a CCW, I'm going to pull out my handheld camera 9 out of 10 times.
Because I don't want to pull out a gun to identify something. Sure. To this next comment, I expect to use my handheld when out in public because if you can't identify a threat, why are you pointing a gun at somebody? That mentality changes in my house. If I hear somebody coming through the window of my house, I'm going to make the assumption that my pistol should be out.
Where out in an EDC environment, I'm going to pull a handheld. But this guy's also arguing that you should not have a light on your pistol. So if I've got my administrative light and I identify a threat with that, the game changes. Now my pistol comes out with the light. See, that's dumb. Huh? That's dumb. What?
shooting you're talking about shooting like this right no no no the the admin light goes away now the pistol comes out also with a light yes and i'm going to maintain my light on that on that subject yes i'm not going to take the light away from them yeah that makes sense to me i would agree with that yeah but he's what this guy is saying is i expect to use my handheld in public because if you can't identify a threat why are you pointing a gun at something so he is against having a light on the gun oh here's that comment i was just talking about
Tritium iron sights are better. You know your house in the dark. Intruders don't.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of mounted lights on handguns for home defense?
It's best to keep the lights off and have the advantage. You know, I think it was... Because when you point a gun with tritium sights on there, it illuminates the threat, and you can see that it's a threat. So we actually are going to do a YouTube video on this? That's what I was told. So what we're actually going to do, I got an argument with my brother about this exact comment.
So he's a 2008 to 2012 timeframe law Ellie, right? And that's his argument, right? And we're trying to figure out how to do a YouTube video on this to show that if it's dark enough that you need tritium site, that's also not bright enough for you to properly identify a target. Exactly. And he's like, yeah, but it's going to give your position away.
And so we're out in the driveway at my in-law's house. Have you guys been there? You been to my in-law's house? Out in the country. Super shitty garage light, but huge driveway. And I hit him in the face. I pulled the slide off of my... off of my whatever I had at the time. My full-size light that had the X300 on it. Pulled the slide off, so I'm just holding the frame of the light.
I'm like, all right, cool, let's play a game. Pow! Hit him in the light with that 1,000 lumen light. And then I turned it off, and then I sized it at 15 feet. And when he kind of came to, he's looking at me, and he's like, what the fuck? Hit him again. He's not there anymore. Like, I have a superpower. It's called fucking your eyes up. That's right. That's right. I can see everything. You can't.
And so the whole giving your position away, if you're in a 100% dark, like a warehouse, there's no light. It's dark, dark. 100% dark. Yeah. I understand the whole giving your position away. If you're trying to room clear a warehouse, you're just projecting where you're at everywhere. Right.

Chapter 8: How can the OODA loop improve decision-making in critical situations?
There's nowhere you're going to be in a firefight where it's so dark you can't see a human silhouette. Exactly. You're not giving shit away. Right. You're not hiding in the bush with your fucking flashlight on. You know what I mean? This is the dumbest argument I've ever heard. What parking lot are you ever going to be in that you can't see that a human being is walking up to you? Exactly.
But you know what that human being walking up to you can see? 1,100 lumens hit him in the face and fucking his night vision up. And blinding him. Yep. It's a weird argument. I don't understand it. Well, there's a bunch of them. Yeah, this next one I really didn't understand, so maybe we can try to make some sense of this. I thought we were talking about being in your house.
That's specifically what I was clearly referring to. Different guns for different locations. I guess if you only have one firearm, it's your choice either way. So do what you want. Different guns. I don't know what different guns for different locations means. Well, you've got to have the bedside gun, the living room gun, the bathroom gun, because that's important.
The shower gun, if you're a man. The shower gun. Okay. They're all the same for me. But regardless, I still want a light on them. Yep. Anybody who says that you shouldn't have a weapon mounted light on their gun has never taken a night class. Exactly. I took Sage Dynamics handgun course, their night handgun course on lights. I don't know.
six years ago now, maybe 2019 might've been two is before I own the store. Okay. It's a wake up call. If you've never taken a weapon mounted light course, you 100% should. It'll change your perception on everything. And you know, all these guys, they've never taken a class. They've never taken a course. They've never received any professional training. It's fun to listen to.
What was the guy's name that was bitching about red dots? Ken Hackathorn. That's it. But he's not anti-weapon mounted light. No, but you get them guys in that mentality from that era. Yep. And everybody listened to him. Yep. Well, Ken Hackathorn has taken a couple of huge steps backwards and he retracted almost everything he said from that podcast.
Yeah.
But at least he's big enough to admit it. I don't know that he had a choice in this. Well, no, but either way. But you get a lot of them from 80s, 90s, anything with, you know, there's teaching that handover bullshit. What's Clint Smith teach? I honestly don't know. Who's that? Oh, that's to do with the voice, the weird voice. He's a thug. Clint Smith's not a thug. 100% he is. Come on.
I'll send you some videos. He's got some out there. He's buddies with Ken Acthorn. They've got very similar mindsets when it comes to firearms. I know he likes shotguns. He likes shotguns. Shotguns in 1911s with no weapon metal lights. One of my favorite sayings from him. Pistols put holes in people. Rifles put holes through people.
