The AK-50

[@reecedignan8365]

So to help go over some stuff for you: 1. Who is Brandon? He is a self-enterprising Gun Manufacture who has made and built up his own gun manufacturing company in San Antonio Texas - note you’ll hear people who hate him say he’s not originally a Texan. This is correct but to a point. He was born on base as a military brat in North Carolina tho the majority of his family come from Texas. While he grew up in NC, when he was finally ready he properly moved to Texas and found his home (he loved Texas and their beliefs and laws so much he always wanted to be there anyway, plus most of his pals were Texan too). You’ll also hear a lot about Brandon’s “military career”. Note Brandon himself ain’t a Veteran or served, however ever military member he meets and constantly makes friends with jokingly bestow him with all their own awards and medals and always note him as a veteran of their units service - at this point he is a 40 year veteran, medal of honour recipient, 6 purple hearts, 2 bronze stars, and some others I can’t remember. - note this joke has become so prominent that during his election tour for District 23 he actually had news media asking him about his service and true to form all his military pals just kept confirming the story to his embarrassment. You’ll also hear from his detractors he’s a anti-veteran due to a 10 second outtake from his podcast “the UnsubscribePodcast” also hosted by known Veterans Eli Doubletap, Nick (Fat Electrician) and Cody (Donut Operator). The outtake was of a joke he was going to make at a veteran self-delete talk but didn’t, but his friends/cohosts on the Unsub podcast which was done pretty much 20 minutes after bullied him into saying the joke he didn’t make and his opponent took that and ran with it in the media. This proceeded to piss off all Brandon’s veteran friends to the point it was standard to see them bullying his opponents media team across Twitter and other social media. Oh he also got a sponsorship from pretty much every veteran he knew supporting him in his candidacy run. And he also as noted several times ran as a candidate for District 23 in Texas against his absolutely useless and corrupt congressman and while he did lose… it was only by 400 votes. Yup a complete outsider with fuck all funding drove a hard seat politician to the literal wire forcing the literal top class political sphere to spend 10mil to his single million and to even force some of the biggest congressional and senatorial names to “defame” him publicly across TV just to save their pals seat. Yeah, that joke about “main character syndrome” starts to make so much sense with Brandon. 2. Yes after that long (1) the barrel of the rifle is supposed to do that, interestingly if you watch normal AKs they fire the exact same way. And yes this did take him 8 years from scratch to build and he has talked they may move to public production they just need to tweek some stuff on the MK3 before standardised production. Tho don’t expect mass market but very limited market. 3. As for Brandon’s influence on KZbin and the community. While his battle against KZbin and their ever oppressive gun rules are a work, he has several well known series such as Darwin Awards, Gun Meme Review, and Cursed Gun Review. Also he, Donut Operator and Demo Ranch are extremely well known for holding Range days at Demo’s place. These range days are quite big and invite not just their friends but KZbinrs, celebrities, politicians, veterans… really everyone to come down and experience the fun of 2A but in an extremely safe and controlled environment. And funny enough these Range days he does seem to have an even more uniting and bonding experience on people that YT’s old Year Review. 4. Onto the last parts. If you want more videos to react to from Brandon. His Darwin Award series is always a blast. For gun reviews… kind of pick your weapons he done a lot. Tho I always recommend his M82A2 episode with the shoulder fired barret 50; and his commie Tommy one in how he restructured an AK to work like an old Tommy Gun. But seriously go nuts with Brandon from his AR180, Rhodesians FAL, Black Powder Pistol and new STG44 ones to his gun meme reviews as they always bring a laugh. For other stuff. Since you want Naval history. May I suggest Epic History’s 2 part series on the ship HMS Victory. It’s a Napoleonic era ship but… there is so much to learn from them that still applies to this day.

Long, but interesting read. Thanks for the enlightenment 😊🤘❤️🇪🇺🇺🇲

[@nossonkamins7708]

Great although they did fix the barrel wave

[@DonutVIP]

That's why he's the goat, and his boys. Really want to join in on their huge range day, take picture with each of them

[@IvIidnight]

Brandon: Alright, Kalashnikov, you have AK 47? Here, hold my White Claw, I raise you 3.

[@arthurelliott-ds3eo]

U can watch demolition ranch shoot the ak-50

[@buckeyegirl16]

*I second the demo ranch suggestion with Brandon's gun *Also suggest DemoRanch: Firing a gun with a really bent barrell ***imagine making a hotwheel track for bullets w/ pvc pipe***

[@ellesee7079]

Hell fire! What the actual?! I'm hoping his next video was of him raking sand in his Zen garden, but I'm guessing not! Man done built an arm cannon! Can't say the idea fills me with joy, but each to their own! 😂

[@yankee_tango]

Not bad for a guy who is a veteran and former U.S. House of Representatives Candidate for the state of TX. I can only imagine the R and D costs on this weapon and I am thinking it was astronomical, I don't think he will be producing any for purchase but I may be wrong on that. I see the cost of one being in the 10 - 15K range if not more. But like yourself I want one as well. Demolition Ranch does a video on this same weapon and they get more into the nuts and bolts of this weapon. Have a look at it and tell us what you think. I know that Nic has a mailing address on his channel page it is a P.O. Box in Mason City, Iowa. Perhaps send him a letter via snail mail.

[@dwrdwlsn5]

I do not always agree with his politics, his jokes, or some of his verbal choices, but you have to admire the sheer guts it takes to do something like this

[@CobraChicken101]

For the Algorithm! Will watch reaction later, have seen the original, nice choice 😊 Ps. The highspeed footage of the barrel flexing was insane to me. Never seen that before

[@ronaldmcdonald8894]

That tiny ass bipod make me laugh every time.

[@Obsidianhealer]

Matt or Demo Ranch was able to borrow the AK-50 from Brandon and fire it/take it a part a little I'd highly suggest his video on it.

[@revolcane]

He fixes the barrel whipping by replacing the muzzle break

[@WreckedNation01]

Smart! Cause that barrel looked insanely wobbly.

[@kyleironheart]

There is only one AK 50, and Brandon built that baby from the ground up

[@LolGamer5]

I felt the same when I first saw this vid lmao, despite knowing of Brandon for years. Absolute insane mad lad. She a beauty! (Great vid btw)

[@kevinb314]

My favorite reaction to AK 50. Didn’t even know it was happening, but still managed to fully appreciate it

[@grimmlight4541]

Murica!!!

[@paulvamos7319]

😂

[@troyallen4868]

I'm here for it Dan 👍Always good to learn stuff!

[@troyallen4868]

I will expect this sort of intro from you now, btw 🤣

[@CelticAngel2530]

I meant As. I hate predictive text

[@alibennett78]

Good christ now thats what u call a gun

[@alibennett78]

You may try build one with lego

[@shaneb4612]

Hey Dan, please check out Hypohystericalhistory's guide to Australia's Special Forces by Hypohystericalhistory. Also Australian Special Forces | 2020 | "The Cutting Edge" by MHS productions. It's a short 4 min clip/video. There is a series called The Australian XXL Commandos by War Docs, would be a cool series to watch. I've not watch any of these, but so keen to see some stuff from Down Under.

[@fredamedic2000]

If you want to see the largest guns shot check out Kentucky Ballistics punt gun vs armored car

[@TheUnamazingRando]

I believe he's selling made to order AK-50s on his website for about 7k.

[@billlovell5185]

Brandon is a licensed firearms manufacturer and own a firearm manufacturing company in San Antonio.

[@scottgorski7931]

Why?! Well, for the same reason the M50 Ontos happened; because why not? I believe it's what Nick calls a grunts and crafts project. If left alone with their imagination Mericans will build it just because. I noticed in the super slow motion the barrel needs to cycle like Ma Deuce or it's going to fail from the flexing. Once that's remedied going with a full auto mode like the AK47 would be next. WHY? Once again because why not.

[@abbu.robinson]

All about learning about That felt clumsy to you because it is, but it's semantically fine. You "actively seek" getting informed. Just keep doing the Dan the Man thing

[@alibennett78]

You have to know what the feck ur doing

[@philiphind7830]

The greatest country in the world Texas lol

[@josiahwilson9034]

Naval ship stuff???? Yes please watch Drachinifel
