He Invented the Honey Badger. These are his 6 Favorite Guns.

In this episode of TFBTV, ‪@JamesReeves‬ interviews the founder of Q, Kevin Brittingham, to find out what 6 guns the father of the Honey Badger finds to be the most important and influential to him.
We look at the Heckler & Koch MP5SD, the Q Fix, the Stoner 63 LMG, the humble M16A1, and the not-so-humble Q Honey Badger. Have a watch and let us know what you think.

That moment when you realize there were no water jets.

[@Pocahonkers]

Maybe the reason for the tight shorts isn't for looks, but to contain what we're seeing here as bubbles within James' body.

[@gregscott7172]

It's all those 8 month old fruity beers in the mailroom.

The cabana boys were just off screen with straws blowing as hard as the can

[@Lungorthin666]

It was 100% James' idea to conduct this interview in the hot tub, and I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner.

[@tinncan]

Took me a minute to notice the mics taped to cans... Improvised hand mics are always a joy to me.

[@Will-Mc09]

I noticed it right away and thought it was great. 😂

[@not-a-theist8251]

I did not notice that until I read your comment lol

[@patriotfamily8345]

Wife: “Honey what are you watching?” Me: “Two dudes in a hot tub talking about their guns” Wife: “Is there something you need to tell me?”

[@blackonblack...9244]

Me: They also have mics taped to their suppressors.

[@emach5665]

Let's be real here, our spouses already know.

[@rollastudent]

“Yes, I need a MP5SD”

Nice to see James getting into the spirit for pride month. James is also very good at calling for the "Boys". It's almost as if he's done that before.

[@XDWX]

He thinks he's the second coming of Eugene Stoner for making overpriced safe queen guns.

[@emach5665]

He calls out his own name during sex.

[@Dave-wy4so]

I think his favorite weapon is Instagram comments

[@AutopilotAndChill]

@@XDWXJust because you can’t afford it doesn’t mean it is overpriced. Sure they aren’t cheap, but overpriced is a stretch. I have all three of his flagship guns and they are epic and shoot one of them every week. Honey badger and trash panda for hog slaying, mini fix with subsonic ammo and a thunder chicken for first time shooters and giggle factor, fix in 6.5 creedmoor for some long range fun and coyote smacking.

[@XDWX]

@erickcastro4594 I certainly can afford them. I am an ffl and have a gun collection that would make John Wick jealous. I just don't buy gimmicks that are are nothing special.

[@thehomesteadpace6149]

Using suppressors as mic handles is hilarious. Also good hand muscle memory training for the follow-up OF content...

[@erikhoryza9068]

All of them are beautiful, but just knowing the Era that the Stoner was in just makes it so much cooler.

If you told me he had his ribs surgically removed so he could blow himself , I wouldn't doubt you for a second

Thx. Saved me 20 minutes of my life.

[@davidgoodnow269]

It still stuns me that England and others didn't just license the Stoner 63 weapon system. Easy enough to convert to bullpup, if they're hung up on that. Budget-conscious English Commonwealth of the time would have had something far better than the SA80 for far less, and _far_ cheaper than their adoption of the M-4A1 for something vastly more versatile!

[@ruthrobles4594]

[@brianmoore1164]

Big thumbs up for the A1. I carried it in the service of Uncle Sam for many years. The ergonomics beat the fire out of the A2.

[@Ideo7Z]

It's nice to see a bear and his twink just basking in hot tub time. The cabana boys were a nice touch for pride month.

[@GenX-Grampa]

"invented" a suppressed.300blk SBR with a Maxim Defense stock?? WOW! We have a GENIUS comparable to Eugene Stoner!!

It was really cool to see so many of my favorite guntubers together on the Gun Con panel on Saturday. James, Honest Outlaw, Mrgunsngear, Paul Glasco, and others I'm less familiar with. Looking forward the possible collab with Chris (Honest Outlaw) that James mentioned. Maybe have him help you do a shotgun burndown.

[@PopeRocket]

This peek into the mind of Q is illuminating. Keep those hands visible, hottubbers.

[@minhoek3252]

My grandfather carried a Stoner 63 in rifle configuration during Vietnam, it's cool seeing a variation of it here!

That honey badger contraption doesn't do much for me.

[@kevinbrittingham6774]

Yeah, it’s dumb.

[@ChadKelly7]

Saw the thumbnail. Figured I wanted to be in on the fun so I set my phone on a ledge in my shower and listened to this while taking a shower. That's the best way to consume some James Reeves content.🤣🤣 Looking forward to the rest of the Q videos. Such a cool company!!

[@STEVEARABIA1]

Everyone in TFB videos should be shirtless and short shorts from now on. 😂

[@MrDustinclement]

Love seeing the videos with Kevin. People can say what they want and he has his faults just like anyone else but he’s done a lot for the industry and I think people forget that.

[@Romanus-]

What exactly has he done for the industry?

[@Clambelly]

James Reeves TFB taking it up a notch ! The most entertaining gun channel on KZbin .... can't wait to see how he tops this

[@h_in_oh]

"I would proabably be a dirtbag attorney if not for that." That's hitting his guest below the waterline.

[@gerechoppers]

Always hilariously entertaining…in such an awkward way. Keep up the fun James. I enjoy the serious, not so serious approach.

[@chadcolton528]

"...otherwise I would be a dirt bag attorney" James: "yeah you don't wanna do that, damn" ;)

[@liamhernandez9329]

I’d like to see one of the longest Helix silencers & the longest Energetic armament on the Honey badger. It would be cool to see how they compared to Q Silencers.

[@fernandoavila6781]

James is great! I didn’t expect this video. Good stuff. Hilarious.

[@martin_x6414]

I actually learned a few things I didn't know from this vid!

[@PVTHighspeed]

Honey Badger was my stage name until I met Jesus.

[@austinfloyd4766]

Was he using the same name or something?

[@GK323la]

😂

[@Backwoods0G]

Jesus was the 60yr old Mexican who frequented the joint. They’ve been happily married since.

[@crazypath573]

You really like Mexicans, huh?

[@holidayhouse03]

I ain’t watching nuthin’ with two dudes in a tub of water

[@bucdan9242]

I guess Reed Knight isn't the only one that loves the Stoner 63.

[@M.H.D.actual]

Kevin and Reed are buddies so it makes sense, they even had a small Cameo together on a really old Carnik Con video.

[@rednecksniper4715]

I really hope a company like PSA will bring out a Stoner 63 clone preferably with all the accessories but I’d be cool with the normal rifle. Gotta get that vietnam esthetic hopefully at a price point cheaper than the Robinson Arms M96

[@mumblety96]

PSA you listening?

[@lextalionis0]

Robinson Arms makes the Stoner 63 just down the road from me

[@rustleshackleford1553]

THAT specific MP5 SD has long been the gun of my dreams, my attraction is definitely a bit more form than function.

[@jsvargo]

Love the mics taped to the suppressors

[@marcing7062]

An observation. Yours is longer but Kevin's has more girth.

[@pcb8639]

Every time I see the lates and greatest, up and coming new bolt rifles, I have to run to my safe and grab my FIX rifle to realize I have all the rifle I will ever need or want.

[@nukiesduke6868]

Shirtless wet dudes with cool guns in the background. A lot of guys will be excited.

I love my fix! I bought mine in .308, But i need a 8.6 barrel kevin 👀👀😆 i just got the hard ass too, pretty nice set of kit.

[@peterbunnell2373]

Thanks for NOT standing up. Didn't need to see the IWBs! 😆

[@Paelorian]

I could watch James snap his fingers from the hot tub to summon cabana boys for hours. This is good content. I particularly enjoyed the PM12 discussion, it was enlightening. We all know the classic Beretta SMGs are overlooked, underappreciated, and often forgotten, but that favorable comparsion to the MP5 was surprising! It seems I've been sleeping on the PM12.

[@lukerestlessstudios]

James, this video is amazing, and hilarious. Bravo.

[@blackbullitt849]

Love my Honey Badger. Now build a fix for left hand shooters!

[@coryjanko]

Wow! It’s been at least 4 years since I’d last ran the PM12. Frankly, I forgot about it for a minute, as I have a considerable amount of time behind several full-throttles. Very choice selection. Much respect. Sadly, I have not had the opportunity to test any of the Q offerings as I type this. Have ran a DD-ISR upper on a LMT f/a lower with a SureFire 60 feeding it subs & supersonics; very impressive.

[@GK323la]

Dude is definitely playing 🦶 with James 😂😂

[@bigdopamine9343]

“Is that your leg?” “Uh… yeah, that’s my leg.”

[@amartinez5408]

The “mics” are lore accurate

[@nl5494]

The best kind of clickbait

[@aaronskuse2207]

I’m a huge fan of the .300 Blackout cartridge. My first AR using it was based on the Colt 607, though eventually I rebuilt it like the 605. There’s an egregious lack of retro 300 blackout AR’s.
