[@wildweasel6898]

As someone who has had a ton of dogs. You absolutely should get a puppy before Nova gets too old. She will train the dog to do all the things you trained her to do. It makes your job soooo much easier. Also old dogs get over being annoyed after a few weeks.....but always give her bigger treats. You don't want to see what happens if you do.😮

[@basedWisco715]

This is great advice, training a puppy is about 90% less difficult if you already have a well-trained adult dog

[@a2Asupporter]

I concur. I've had several of my own dog while also fostering many rescues of various ages for adoption. Generally most "adult" dogs are very tolerant of "pups" under a year old, and teach them a lot of good doggie social skills which is very important. What you may run into with having a puppy and a senior dog is that the puppy can quickly wear out the senior dog as some puppies want a lot of play time, which can make the senior dog cranky when they're tired. But that's also a good lesson for a puppy to learn ... don't keep pestering a dog that no longer wants to play.

[@OGsDangerShow]

I like your theory on a “soft apocalypse“. I’ve always thought the same thing. No major EMP, or Zombieland, but a breakdown in society that requires us to be more security minded. -OG 🤘😎

[@ImmaSaveUFromMe]

Depending on where you live that's already the case. Therefore just a matter of time, if we don't do a 180.....soon.

[@bakters]

Even if your country gets invaded, life goes on. Yes, a lot of death happens, but life goes on.

[@timunderbakke8756]

Yup, the apocalypse is not likely going to be a major “big bang” that never gets better. It’s going to be a gradual disintegration into total crap.

[@calebmeyer2121]

South Africa comes to mind. A seemingly modern, secure society, that is falling into a pile due to corruption and government mismanagement of public utilities.

I've got to admit, Brass Facts is growing on me. I grew up an Army brat and then enlisted at 17. My government service ended after 15 years. You know how "set in its ways" our military can be. While I agree that bolt guns are not made to be utilized as battle rifles on the modern battlefield. However, bolt guns are still the most accurate weapons. My bolt gun is my sniper rifle and 1 of my AR-15s serves as a battle gun, along with 1 of my handguns. So, keep up the good work.

Hola amigo! We been watching your videos for a good while now. I live here in Northern Baja California Mexico, in the high mountain ranges which extend from the California Western United States into all the Baja California Mexico peninsula. Here we are airgun aficionados! We feel your pain of the commie government which here in Mexico is not as easy to implement their left wing agenda due to that majority of Mexican people are conservative Catholics and Patriots as well. We agree with most all the conservative Americans and see how this nightmare is all planned by the powers that be. You'll be surprised how many conservative Catholic and Protestant Americans/Canadians have moved here. My props to you is that you talk and discern possibilities and situations with common sense, unlike the other guys on KZbin that feel like they only talk doomsday scenarios and push you to buy their products. Thank you for your advice to all of us that just want to be prepared and protect our families. Greetings from Tecate, Baja California Mexico 🇲🇽🇺🇸

Awsome content. I live up the road from you in idaho.

Not to mention ems or paramedic . One aspect i have considered is the management of those people that leave the urban areas in search of food or fuel etc during wrol.

[@Visual217]

21:50 I can tell you why. It's one thing to desire basic weapon illumination on a defensive firearm, its another to want the best possible performance. We have weapon lights for 2 major reasons, PID and disorientation, that are offset by 2 unpredictable variables: photonic barriers and distance. Sure, the costs are getting up there but that's the only downside at this point. You are much better off with better horsepower and ergos if you can afford it, but this is definitely not one of those items to go into debt for and you can work your way up from basic lights.

[@pb7087]

Piecemeal commenting: the 16” Criterion Hybrid 6.5 CM with JP full mass high pressure BCG is a fantastic combo. Relatively light for an AR 10 barrel, but consistently allowed me to shoot precisely out to 1k at a local PRS match, enough to win the gas gun division against 20”+ 308s and such. And it handles well enough for carbine work… but obviously not as good as an 11.5” 5.56 for that trade space.

[@moses_irl]

the only ammo membership worth it is Target Sports USA one. It's only $100 a year for free shipping and 5-10% off ammo prices. The savings from even a few small orders pay for the membership.

[@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz]

On a note about flashlights: i had a Streamlight ProTac on my AR with the pressure switch and all that hot stuff. It was fine until i picked it up one day and the pad didnt kick the light on until the third press. I now have an Arisaka 300 scout body with a Malkof head and Surefire D-07 tailcap with a surefire pressure switch. Its a sample size of one, but prior experience with a Streamlight Strion and this experience with the ProTac pushed me to the higher end light. I currently have 1 light between 3 uppers because i can only shoot one at a time, but still.

"I don't think it's a scam, it's insurance". That's what insurance is. USCCA policies have a clause that their policy doesn't cover illegal action. "Well that makes sense" you might say. Except it means that one person at the insurance company gets to decide whether you were in the right or wrong and whether the policy will pay for your defense before you even go to trial. You may very well have been able to convince a jury of self defense but if you can't convince USCCA then they won't give you a red cent out of that policy you paid for.

The ideal of 3d-printed guns is that you only have to win one gunfight. An FGC9 is definitely lower on the totem pole than a PSA AR, but it falls into the same Gear*Training*Luck equation you mention earlier.

Im not a bullpup guy, but I’m actually giving the A3 Triad a try with one of my SBR lowers. 10-10.5” BRN-180 that’s shorter than a P90.

[@theproudamerican1967]

Consider making your own bonded soft point ammo. 55gr, 62gr, or 75gr Speer Gold Dot projectiles are very reasonably priced when available. I recommend N135 powder especially for short barrels with cans. Clear nail polish can be used to seal case mouth and primer pocket. I wipe a little over the primer after seating. For the case mouth I seat the bullets long then wipe a little around the bullet seat to final depth wipe off excess then crimp.

Gratz to ya, Brass! Love the content as always, and here's to however many more subs/vids/years/what-have-you of content!

Cool channel , Its good to see a young person that has an interesting thought process actually. You have helped me make a few changes of direction, thanks for that.

I used to be pretty deep in the 3d printed gun community, but I didn't have a 3D printer at the time. And I have lost some interest in the concept since. But I recently got a resin printer and some casting wax so I could make jewelry. But nothing's to stop me from casting aluminum or stainless with it. Just so long as the part will tolerate amateur casting.

It's such a degenerate community full of people w dubious political alignments

As for a shotgun.. I feel like it does have one use case outside of hunting. This is only in semi auto form, my example being the beretta 1301 tactical that I own and have modded to meet modern standards, optic, light, sling, etc… is that unlike rifles/pistols/pdws, you get the same firepower the military would have in their weapon. The 1301 is very fast as long as the shooter can manage it, and can dump 7 in the tube, 1 on the lifter and 1 in the chamber, 9 shells of 00 buckshot, making 81 holes in a target, in a few seconds. It’s an incredibly violent weapon, that outside of full auto, can’t really be obtained. The benelli m4 is another option, but outside of the benellis track record, I’d say the 1301 takes it.

Thank you for your service...the mount lip variety.

[@JetorgXIII]

Congratz on 100k! You deserve it man, well done and here's to another 100k in the future!

Navigation/Comms question In my PACE plan, phone is primary for both. Alternate is GPS and Radio, which is on all of my 2nd line gear. Contingency is maps, compass, beads, smoke, etc. should those things be 2nd line as well, or is it okay to put that in a 3rd line assault pack? By staying on my 2nd line, I’m really inhibiting the amount and types of ammo I can carry. A mayflower rig holds all that stuff but now I’ve only got 4 AR mags. RECCE rig will just hold GPS and radio, but I’ve got all the magazines. I’ve got multiple chest rig setups for EDC, hunting, backpacking, etc. By keeping the maps and such in a pack that I use for all of them, I’m not buying multiples for each kit. By keeping them in a vehicle, well I have multiple vehicles so I’d have to move them between vehicles all the time but the assault pack does always move into whatever vehicle I’m using. Also, I don’t have just one map of a specific AO to keep in a rig, I’ve got a bunch because as civilians, we don’t know where we’ll end up. This is a super OCD and niche question, but driving me nuts.

[@pelagicdesperado9875]

Congrats on the 100K my man. I've gotten a lot of good info from your videos.

[@stevenbekkering4323]

Great videos man. Awesome reviews and theoretical scenario assessments. Looking forward to future videos from you and hop.

[@_Art.Vandelay]

Man I remember the first vid of yours I watched was something about 18” SPR builds like 2-3 years ago and you said something I disagreed with. Now I’ve been hate watching 20-30 min videos of a guy I hate just so I can see his dog at the end. Love you, Ass Facts. Keep it up buddy.

the @nutnfancy references need to be more loud. This man influenced so many of us. I don't even know if he knows how much current gun tubers references him. Love that dude.

[@Discov110]

What do you think about drones with thermal capability? (I definitely just bought one and want my feelings validated💀)

[@wendigotactical9892]

Very much enjoy your stuff, especially the long format videos about philosophy.

[@rakshal132]

Asking questions way after your Q&A. lol But honestly on PDWs I would love to get your take o something like the VZ.61 in any caliber. Really hard to find parts to "modernize" it but it is so small you can carry it with just a jacket on.

[@BrassFacts]

friend has a vz61, so cool. I kinda want one.

[@dak4465]

The ruger elite 452 2 stage trigger is also fantastic for the money

[@robertpyssa3333]

Question. Short: what is your minimal acceptable level of handgun and rifle proficiency that you're comfortable with? Long: He who jerks trigger and doesn't know how to deal with stovepipe needs urgently to shift focus into shooting. He, who spends weekends and $$ on shaving of another 0,01sec from his time, will be better off doing something else i.e. medical or land nav, farming or vehicle maintenance. Where do you draw the line?

[@charris319]

Congrats man! Well deserved and keep up the great work.

[@williamwolcott329]

Congrats! One of my favorite channels! Love your style and thought process. Any thought about you and Hop jumping on the Unsubscribe podcast with Baddie and Eli?
