GunTubers - BS artists or the real deal? (Feat Ivan - Kit Badger & Luke C. TFB) [Episode 8]
How do you (or us as Guntubers) spot a BS artist online? It's really a complicated topic because we also end up doing a lot of introspection.

Fighting Underground - Sub-Terranean Military Operations in the near future.   [Podcast Ep. 7]
Blacked out comms, difficult logistics, overpressure from gunshots, explosives, extremely short distances mixed with intermediate length axes of approach. Lack of air... there is an emerging next-generation warfare as a subset of urban combat: Subterranean, AKA Sub-T.

How China sold [a lot of] AK47’s to America as💰 ”startup capital”  [Podcast Ep. 5]
So you’re China in the 1980’s trying to dig yourself out of poverty. You have no good industry, are largely agricultural and you just took a hit fighting the Vietnamese. How do you get out of poverty? The answer: Guns. Sell them to the American market. In the 1980’s China made a lot of AK47 style rifles (Type 56 Assault) and sold them to the U.S. market. These gave the Type 56 a reputation of the best rifles, while they were considered the worst in other places of the world. So what is the truth? Where are they from? Which factory made them? How were they made? We speak with arms dealer Dave P. who’s family distributed Chinese small arms in the 1980’s for an answer to all these questions!

Shot in the head (by an AK47) and started the Battle of Fallujah - LCpl Brad Simmons  [Podcast Ep. 3]
Fallujah, Iraq was considered one of the most dangerous places in the world. Following the brutal ambush, killing, hanging and mutilations of four Blackwater security contractors, the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force kicked off a major assault to cordon off Fallujah. Young LCpl (Lance Corporal) Brad Simmons was a team leader tasked with a new mission where he would be shot in the back of the head with an AK47 type weapon (impacting under his helmet). The subsequent events of Brad's head-shot would jumpstart the first Battle of Fallujah, and subsequently leading to the second Battle of Fallujah months later - considered the deadliest urban combat by the U.S. Marine Corps since the Battle of Huế city in Vietnam, 1968. In this episode, Brad recounts his time Fallujah and Iraq, but more importantly how he returned home and dealt with the hardship that ensued from Iraq.

The Royal Hong Kong Police | British Colonial Police Force [Podcast Ep. 2]
Gunfights with criminals wielding Chinese AK47, grenades, capturing illegal immigrants, spies on the high seas, and fighting terrorists... Her Majesty's Royal Hong Kong Police did it all. (as a tiny British Colony before 1997). Before the 2019 pro-democracy protests and before Hong Kong returned to China in 1997, the Royal Hong Kong Police was renowned as the finest police force in Asia. We spoke with Police Constable Wong, a former RHKP officer who served on the city police and rural/border police force.

The AK12 - a sad chapter for the Kalashnikov - feat. Brandon Herrera  [Podcast Ep. 1]
We sat down with Brandon Herrera and talked about how we really felt about the AK12. The strangest thing happened when Brandon, Polenar Tactical and 9 Hole reviews all filmed the AK12 the same weekend after working with it for a few months, and nearly had identical conclusions... (and a fair amount of conspiracy theorists on how it was a collaborated hit piece). So what’s the deal with Russia’s latest rifle, the AK12?
