I was always pleasant, friendly and within arm's reach of a gun.
If government is the answer, it must have been a really, really, really stupid question.
I read the source article and as a former analytical chemist, some GC/MS results would be more helpful than IR spectroscopy.
"I have officially endorsed FIREClean lubricant. As most of you know my endorsements are very rare and very difficult to earn; my name and reputation are everything to me so I only put my stamp of approval on items that stand above the crowd- FIREClean is one of them. Numerous instructors use and approve of it and I can tell you it does what it claims - most importantly to me it continues to provide lubrication even when it appears none is on the moving parts of the weapon. This is because it is actually in the pores of the metal and this allows for easier clean up and less carbon fouling. FIREClean is a lube that actually brings something new to the table - try it and see for yourself. FIREClean is the heat - a true 21st century weapons lube” - Larry Vickers, www.vickerstactical.com
Wow. That extra smoke may also have been a reputation in flames.
If the Ditch B!tch can turn an episode of staggering cowardice into a marketing strong point I doubt the LAV nuthuggers will care that he faked his video.
Uhh... context and or linky please? (I'd rather not put that term into google to search it.)
James Yeager. He went to Iraq as a contractor, during an ambush he forgot that he had engaged the parking brake on the car he was driving, so he freaked out and hid in a ditch while the rest of his team was getting shot up. Then he wrote an AAR lying and blaming his cowardice on others. Then he founded a training company and started making silly youtube videos full of the worst sort of internet tough guy bravado.
Don't forget gross violations of every safety rule known to man.http://www.everydaynodaysoff.com/2011/08/22/tactical-response-training-try-not-to-shoot-the-photographer/
From what I understand, there may or may not have been tricks with the marketing/reviews by Vickers Tactical?
Yes. First in the junk science of "More smoke means a cleaner weapon" secondly in using a different type of ammo to achieve that questionable metric.
Holy hell. It's like giving a loaded gun to a chimpanzee...
the last thing you need is rabies. You're already angry enough as it is.OTOH, there wouldn't be a tweeker left in Georgia...
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! AND THROW SOME STEAK ON THE GRILL!
CorBon +P, if memory serves, which of course is going to smoke more than any standard velocity round short of handloads with Pyrodex.
Imagine finding a gun oil that works as advertised, and being able to clean your gun without scrubbing and scraping. FIREClean is a revolutionary way to keep your gun shooting cleaner, longer, and better. Complete, easy gun care in one bottle. Non-toxic and odorless, FIREClean dissolves fouling. It cleans deeply and powerfully, while offering extreme heat resistance and deep, powerful cleaning. See why some of the world's best shooters choose FIREClean to keep their guns running and minimize wear. Why do we have an AR-15 bolt carrier in the picture? That's because it is one that has been shot on a FIREClean-conditioned AR and shot for 210 rounds. Carbon has a very hard time sticking to the important metal parts. Once a gun is conditioned with FIREClean, you can clean an AR-15 with paper towel and QTips, and not worry about reoiling every time that you go to the range. A semi-auto shotgun piston that used to be scraped and scrubbed? Now it just wipes off, like on this AR-15 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU3GGgFMoso Some shooters really appreciate the fact that FIREClean is odorless and doesn't fill up the kitchen or family room with noxious odors. It is NOT fatal if swallowed, and does not require HAZMAT disposal or ORM-D shipping. Whether you're shooting a Blunderbuss or a Minigun, FIREClean will make your gun cleaning regimen cheaper, faster, and better. Some customers even use it to lubricate bike chains, squeaky hinges, door tracks, etc.
Is he the same one that did the hanging upside down out the side of a truck video?
Hawkmoon - Never underestimate another person's capacity for stupidity. Any time you think someone can't possibly be that dumb ... they'll prove you wrong.
Viking - The problem with the modern world is that there aren't really any predators eating stupid people.
