During my healing time from surgery last month I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube, mostly the gun channels. Some of them are more serious than others, the ones I don’t find entertaining, I don’t continue to watch them... It’s interesting to watch them shoot items that I’ll never shoot and guns I probably will never shoot. For instance, a 20mm Vulcan canon shooting at a car and they run ultra high speed cameras stopping the bullets, explosions and damage so you can see it all. One of them (Fullmag) shot a 105mm tank round from an M60 tank into the engine of a car, a high dollar car on it’s last leg and if I remember right it was a Jaguar. This guy is part of the BlackRifle Coffee Company group and also and an explosive manufacturer. Interesting...
One thing that bugs me about a lot of these guys is that many of them don’t seem to understand the difference between caliber and cartridge. Not all of them but when I hear it always makes me wonder about them. I heard it tonight from a guy I never expected it from which caused me to create this post. Jerry Miculek!
(I hope posting this link is ok). He’s shooting a 357mag through 2 windows of a car at an angle trying to hit a target on the other side. First shot broke both windows but not the target. So... he‘s going to try again and has an AR-15 in his hands and says “For the next shot we’re going to amp it up to a rifle caliber” and talks about higher velocity and such.
I know, I know, this is anal but, I hear these guys say this stuff a lot and then when Jerry said it, well, I just had to talk about it. I’m sure he knows the difference, maybe 99% of the people watching this stuff doesn’t and he‘s making the video for them.
Just had to rant a little about it I guess. My life is pretty boring lately...
