Dare I hit "Thanks"?

You can tell when a guy has way more money than he needs, he destroys a rifle that any of us would gladly take off him. That is until after the vid when no part of it remains serviceable...
He is a moron
Is there a reason I really need to watch this? Or is it click-bait?
One of my many pet peeves: Gah-rand'. The man's name was Gare'-end--rhymes with errand.
It's not his money, he has monitized being a profession idiot.Quote:

The HK survived.
Stupidest thing I’ve seen. Personal take-aways: 1) no need to watch any more of his channel and 2)what was 5-11 thinking when they decided to sponsor this guy?
"The man's name was Gare'-end--rhymes with errand"
It has always been controversial. I asked his son Richard and he said they never heard anything except Guh-RAND, so I thought it was solved... until an old-time collector told me about the time he actually called Mr. Garand on the phone. He had a question about the M1 and simply asked Information if they had a Garand in Springfield, Mass. They did, and he just called. A man answered and Larry said, "Can I speak to Mr. Guh-RAND, please?" The man said, "It's GAR-end" -- this is he." It became pretty clear that he accepted what the world wanted to call him, but he preferred the original French Canadian he was given, including his first name Jean.
It presented a bit of a problem for the GCA... I decided we would retain "Guh RAND Collectors" because that's what everybody calls the rifle we collect, but when talking about the inventor, we would use the GAR end that he preferred. Solomon said to cut the baby in half. LOL
I hate wanton destruction.
The gentleman has perceived that the most profitable videos on YT are often the most puerile and pointless.
I find that with most YouTubers!Quote:

Can't watch this. It'd be like witnessing some * destroy a piece of real art in a museum to make some sort of inane political statement. Ugh.
He did have a close squeak with his SLAP rounds fired out of his Serbu 50 cal with a petal flash hider which I think was discussed here on definitely the incorrect flash hider for those types of sabotted rounds.
It would have killed him had he not stuck his thumb into his neck to stop the blood flowing from a severed jugular luckily his dad was on the range and they got to the ED either way the shrapnel piece from his neck travelled into his abdominal region after going there via a lung and diaphragm.
They ended up splitting his chest and right down to his nether regions to repair the carnage that piece of rifle contributed to his tenure on the earth.
Some stuff he does when comparing various ballistic vests or shields I find is interesting but when you destroy as said a rifle anyone of us here would love to own then I see no such justification in his frivolity of it all.
Don't like him at all...
