I love his logic with hunters "DURR IF STOPPING POWER ISN'T REEL? Y DO HUNTERS USE BIGGER BULLITS FOR LARGE GAYME?"

 

Well, you see, as much as a 200 lb human is similar in size, muscle and bone strength/thickness, things such as pain tolerance and endurance to, say, some minor large game animal like a 5,000 lb White Rhinoceros.....

 

.....Oh, that isn't the case at all?

Alex and I are trying, trust me. I've got three guns and three other items in for review right now, and I bet Alex is about the same.

I have one.

 

I like the new stuff to go to James so that I can focus on older guns that people seem to like seeing.

James is very good at reviewing new guns that I personally would find quite dull. On the other hand, throw a Steyr 95 in his hands and he would probably not be too enthusiastic.

Yeah, I have to say that I don't get the same satisfaction from most guns made after the late '70s as I do older ones, and handguns just don't really catch my eye (been thinking of getting one of those Bulgarian Makarovs, though). They're fun to goof around with, but I canceled my search for an AR after I got more range time with a few, and just felt like I'd rather save that money for things that interest me much more. As for ammo prices, I get more of a kick firing 20 rounds out of my Mosin/Mauser/Enfield than what people would consider "dumping" rifles. Saying all that, I wouldn't mind finding an affordable bullpup for my hiking trips, which is why I kept a lazy eye on those Kel-Tec M43s they were showing off a while ago.

Kel Tec.

 

NOT. EVEN. ONCE.

I know, I know, but their new RDB or whatever they're calling it is getting some positive press for once. So, I'm at least interested as long as their finger-to-customer ratio is satisfactory for the next few fiscal quarters.

 

The RDB's going to be in the $1800 range, based on past Kel-Tec releases. MSRP is supposed to be a little over $1500, but with Kel-Tec's supply problems it's all but guaranteed to be higher.

Get an AUG instead.

Finally. Proof that by 1944, Nazi scientists had invented artillery shells with cordless Dremels packed inside.

Much superior to the earlier models with the Dremels that you had to plug in before firing.
