DAY 2: Bloke and Chap at Lynx Brutality 2022

[@matthewkriebel7342]

Bloke, it's so funny seeing you place so highly in some stages, and so low in others... feast or famine. Excellent job all around. You are an inspiration.

[@colinarmstrong1892]

Think I prefer the whistle to signal hits.... Good job guys

[@hanktorrance6855]

Always love your content and willingness to use obscure or interesting equipmemt!

[@avp5964]

Loved the FAMAS action thanks guys

[@jimmumford4444]

Brutality matches are always fun to watch.

[@andrewmn3024]

Thanks for sharing! Looks like an amazing match. Nice shooting to both of you.

[@finnishrifleman7873]

Looks like that garbagetier wasn´t the SAR-80 but the MAB PA-15? Anyway, it looks awesome match and looks like you both enjoyed it quite a bit! No wonder that Brutality style matches are gaining popularity.

[@PHIllip324]

5:57 Watching Chap run makes me feel like I'm holding the sprint button in a video game.

[@stewbacca117]

3k run after every stage... Mad bru... Best of luck with that!

[@custardthepipecat6584]

Thanks!

[@BlokeontheRange]

Thank *you*! :D

[@petesheppard1709]

Chap is my spirit competitor...

[@thebotrchap]

Maximum effort + maximum fun + mediocre results? Be careful what you wish for 😆

[@gorbalsboy]

Well done the chap, smokin reload on the first run

[@mikethomas5510]

Shout out for the Chap. Nice to know someone else shoots rightie rifle & leftie pistol. Do you switch eyes as well?

[@thebotrchap]

Yes

[@mikethomas5510]

[@MacDorsai]

Another great video. I think Chap's optic was more of a hindrance than a help. It was so high above the boreline and the stock, I really didn't see that he even had a solid jaw contact with the stock!

[@BlokeontheRange]

Thanks! As long as there's *some* contact, you're good to go, but it's really, really very high indeed....

[@thebotrchap]

There is very little but oddly it doesn’t matter, I have no problem making the hits and the dot definitely allows me to get on target faster than with irons. Note that Ian had no issue with the bore offset on the VTAC. The failure there was purely my lack of experience. If it was a hindrance they wouldn’t have gone to immense trouble to make the complex optics top cover for service rifles expected to fire in even more unconventional environments (little vid about that soon).

[@frankjrmuchnok2647]

I'll be interested to see how you both do with competetive arms in the next event. No excuses if you get my drift. Love your content.

[@BlokeontheRange]

I shot my WWSD at Hätilä a few weeks back, and I'll also be using it for FB2022. Chappie will still be FAMAS-ing it though! :D

[@thebotrchap]

@@BlokeontheRange The FAMAS wasn’t the problem 😉 Glauque will be in the holster for sure!

[@simonjones6128]

Great shoot guys

[@AirsoftTipsandReviews]

You guys rock!

[@onpsxmember]

I'm feeling for the chap with those helpful mags. I'm sure with my 'immense stamina' I'd land one of those 15kg bags at the third round to the wall and hitting myself in the face as the bags magically increase their weight. I wonder if Ian will also choose that 3 km running extreme variant since he does like to run. I'd so like to see Russ at a Finnish Brutality for once...out of the desert and into the cold but instead he gets court BS. All well without any injuries since you go even harder in Finland?

[@BlokeontheRange]

Ian will also be running Recon and dying with us! :D

[@jediknight129]

@@BlokeontheRange you're insane but I approve.

[@wrxs1781]

Good effort lads, you are getting very proficient at these drill's, but Chappy you definitely need another pistol, may I suggest a CZ75SP01.

[@Simon_Nonymous]

Well I did have to Google what a Yeet cannon is, and I am looking forward to the first litter of bullpuppies, but this is a great video. As long as you're having fun, you're winning!

[@frankjrmuchnok2647]

Who but a Brit says "Oh dear ! " ? Great video though. Keep them coming.

[@gang-ridertv5433]

Good match

[@GUARDIAN.13]

Your accuracy may have suffered but tea cupping the pistol may have kept your magazine in enough to function

[@cedhome7945]

Looks great fun but can you use someone else pistol if yours is not working or do have to stick with the one you started with?

[@BlokeontheRange]

If your equipment has failed (clearly the case here), you can ask the match director if you can swap it out.

[@jediknight129]

now I just have to find a venue for an airsoft match to start practicing.

[@vladimirmihnev9702]

2,40 that is why you should only use a ,45 the gravity of the slugs drops all the plates even if you miss, with never happens to people who have 1911, the 1911 shoots Lazer guided dead bullets that kill the soul to!

[@dangerousfreedom4965]

Right hand on the rifle and left on the pistol?

[@LadyAnuB]

Not sure if the FAMAS can switch ejection sides. Ian can answer this question if you check out the video on his or a sample one he's video'd.

[@zephyros256]

@@LadyAnuB iirc, Ian or Chap did mention that they changed the ejection side between each of their runs on stages (so when going Chap -> Ian and vice versa)

[@thebotrchap]

Yes I’m odd like that. We did indeed switch ejection back and forth on my FAMAS.

[@TheOz91]

@@thebotrchap Yeah, since you can switch ejection side within 5 minutes or less, unlike certain rifles (cough cough AUG cough cough SA80 cough cough)

[@manganvbg90]

That coating on the sar-80, is that bedliner? 😂

[@BlokeontheRange]

Crackle paint, same as on Sterlings

[@manganvbg90]

@@BlokeontheRange definately looks like bedliner. Love it!

[@LadyAnuB]

Chap has an alcohol tolerance that's good or better than you Bloke? (Family advantage due to being vineyard or orchard owners making fermented beverages and distilled spirits over the years?)

[@88porpoise]

I would note thay alcohol tolerance (as in amount needed to get to a given stage of drunkenness) and susceptibility to hangovers are not necessarily aligned.

[@BlokeontheRange]

Indeed. I think my tolerance is about the same, but he wakes up fresh as a daisy after quantities that would put me on my back for 24 hours the morning after...

[@LadyAnuB]

@@BlokeontheRange You're a heavyweight compared to myself. I get the headache as I drink. So Chap processes his alcohol fast.

[@thebotrchap]

I am blessed/cursed with a hyperactive metabolism. Always need to pack a snack but alcohol is processed efficiently.

[@BlokeontheRange]

It also means that he can shrug off quantities of food and beer/wine that would make me fat in a heartbeat...

[@jamesbromstead4949]

I understand handicapping with gear to increase stress and improve skill. But Chap... that pistol was a little too much of a handicap. Great show though. Good luck with the Finnish Brutality. Je croise les doigits.

[@thebotrchap]

The mag issue had never appeared with gentle range use.

[@strydyrhellzrydyr1345]

That's a remedial or whatever he said

[@strydyrhellzrydyr1345]

What does he mean by the range owner is a... Convert

[@BlokeontheRange]

That he is now a true believer in Brutality competitions!

[@1982rrose]

3k after each stage? Don't do it. In full kit?

[@BlokeontheRange]

"full kit" = about 12kg + rifle. I want to at least try!

[@mrsinflames]

Chap,did the gun and up in the woods or burned to dust when you got home🤔😂

[@thebotrchap]

The pistol and original mag are fine. The ersatz mags are living on borrowed time while I hunt for originals.

[@FG42]

You need to explain what heath robinson is to anyone who has never lived in the uk

[@nirfz]

3k run after each stage? Well i guess you need to do that in gear and cross country. Does the time count too, or is is it a "done or penalty" thing? Anyway, it sounds to me like something for real masochists. (_masochist division_ 😉) (With the addittional little mindgame of: you could choose trail running shoes for nice running but severely risk injuring your ankles with the ammount of fatigue that will happen, or use propper hiking or mil boots to protect your ankles but make running suck even more...) You and everybody starting in that division already have my pity.

[@BlokeontheRange]

It's going to be timed, which will count. And you have to run in boots that fulfil the TST requirements (I've got some seriously lightweight Salomon ones that I'll be trying out tomorrow)

[@nirfz]

@@BlokeontheRange Thanks for answering! Well then i am at least less worried about leg injuries of the participants. All the best for the Match to both of you!

[@BlokeontheRange]

Thanks!
