Actually, that claim originated from a story that Bill Ruger told R.L. Wilson. According to Ruger, he had run into Rene Studler (long retired by this point) at a trade show. Studler was supposedly enamored with the Mini-14 prototype and encouraged Ruger to submit it to the Army. Of course, it would have been far too late to unseat the M16A1, but it made for a cute story.

Absolutely. This took me 9 months to get a test gun... from a coworker.
 
I have never and will never do a paid review. Others do this so blatantly that it is disgusting.
This was the only time I have had to fight to get a video up and published, and it was a really big ordeal.
 
Also again, subscriptions really help. They determine what videos show up at the top of searches and help with search engine optimization.

Great, now you just cut 1.5 hour of my life. 

Also, Daniel and I sperg out on GGR. Go listen to it.

Yes, Bushmaster bought out Cobb Manufacturing in 2007 for Skip Patel's multi-caliber rifle patents as well as this design.  Of course, Skip Patel is now long gone, and has started a new company - DRD Tactical.

It is just the way that the cylinder is stressed.  The top quarter of the cylinder can be blown off even when one or both of the chambers to either side have empty cases.
 

Technically, I do charge an absurd amount per article. I guarantee that their advertisement that they will pay "TRIPLE" what TFB pays will send them scurrying for cover if I tell them what I'm getting for something like a Light Rifle article.

Uh, also, it seems there's another gun website trying to poach writers from TFB. I'm not sure what I think of that.

Just tell them you charge an absurd amount per article. Been doing it for years and the responses are always pretty funny (when you actually get one).

Next discussion of theirs should be "we will review your gun, but we require you give it to us in addition to a nominal fee".
 
If you know how much they charge for a "review", it would blow your fucking mind. And of course that in no way effects their objectivity I'm sure.

That one in a million shot when you catch a nielsen device at full compression:

Neat video showing off how HEAT shells work. The guy detonates 4 charges, one that's just explosive, one with explosive that has an indentation in it, then one with an explosive that has an indentation in it that's filled with metal, and finally, the same charge as in part 3, but at a small offset to focus the blast.

FWIW: Laurie shot Michael in the face at the end of H2 with no effect other than blinding him.

So my girlfriend just convinced me to buy this on receipt of my next paycheck:


 
Aren't SOs supposed to talk you out of buying guns?

Plenty of horror movies have antagonists with guns. We just call them "thrillers" instead, for some reason.

Exactly!

If you look closely, you can see that they cut the butt off of a second stock and flipped it over to splice it all together at the wrist.
 
It was clearly an experiment to test the utility of an in-line stock without resorting to a vertical pistol grip.

If you were willing to use a brass case, you could start with 9mm Winchester Magnum cases.
 

The SW99 was made under a co-production scheme back when S&W was Walther's US importer.  Walther made the frames, and S&W made the slide assemblies.  S&W also made some of Walther's PP and PPK family for the US market.  In return, Walther briefly sold a S&W revolver under the Walther banner as the R99.

The Ingram experiment that I saw came from a 1980s vintage Guns & Ammo.

Here's a video of a fellow running a M1911 with black powder in what I presume was a "Wild Bunch" match.

How about an AR-15 with black powder?
