• Clowns With Guns

    heh:

    Youtube continues to serve me up the most NICHE gun (and most often useless) related content I’ve never seen before.

    Speaking of clowns.. remember the clown nose less lethal option?  An internet classic.  Looks like Alternative Ballistics still sells the thing.

  • Gun Drummer Goes Wild On A Megadeth Cover

    This guy’s dedication to turning money into noise is something else:

    Yoooo haha where does he live?  It looks like he’s a few stories up, and there’s all sorts of weird looking points and paths.  If 10 year old me could have designed a backyard that’s what it would have looked like.  Mandatory Jetskis, dirtbikes, and ATVs on standby.  I’d rent that AirBnb for the weekend.

    Because I’m always interested in the subscriber counts of these guys I follow, I see Gun Drummer has 234,000!  I’m liking this new higher quality / more interesting video style.  I kind of forget he existed for a while, since I was skipping all the old videos since they all looked the exact same as the very first ones that he went viral from a couple years back.

  • US Army PSYOP Group Recruitment Video Sparks Outrage And Debate

    High quality recruitment / trolling:

    This was designed to upset some people and excite others. It did its job.  If you google psyop ghosts in the machine, you’ll see numerous articles freaking out about it.

    Currently it’s the only video that the Army 4th PSYOP Group has out on YouTube, and they already have 9580 Subscribers at the time of writing.

  • The Knife Angel Of London

    A response to their knife problem in London:

    1:30 – “If they can’t buy them they’re going to make them no matter what anyway.” Yea no kidding.  Taking a flat piece of something hard, and rubbing against something that’s abrasive and harder doesn’t exactly take a genius, nor does it require any tools unless they want to get fancy.

    2:48 – “BRO” is right 🤣.  Looks like something from Anime.

    Thoughts?  Obviously a lot of parallels between this war on knives in the UK and gun control in the US.  Both seem incredibly futile  for the same reason.. because they focus on the knife/gun, not the root of the issue which is the human component.

    This has all been going on for quite some time now.. I’m reminded of a post I did way back in 2009 about UK Knife Surrender bins.

  • Using AI To Detect Guns

    Actuate claims “99%+ accuracy and minimal false positives”.  The intersection of technology and guns very much interests me.  I’m sure we’ll see more and more of this type of system deployed within large companies and within city surveillance.  Regardless of if it actually saves any lives, it will definitely look good on paper to a lot of decision makers.  The above video states that Actuate technology is deployed in nearly 20,000 cameras across the country.

    Destin from Smarter Everyday did a cool video on this same type of thing a while back.

  • VICE on Ghost Guns

    From VICE Season 3:

    2:00 – VICE actually took the video offline because they edited the auto of him shooting, to make it sounds like the rate of fire was quicker. People called them out on it, so they fixed it and reupped the video above.

    I feel like I’ve seen this before.. no new info to be reported (in these clips anyways).  It’s obvious VICE just loves the topic though, because it’s controversial and drives clicks and comments.  The Middleton Made guy definitely comes across as a good spokesperson.   I’ll have to see if I can find the full episode on one of the handful of streaming services we subscribe to.
