  • They’re just plain wrong about 1911s though. Those things have been surpassed many times over in every category that you would care about in a hand gun, including reliability. I know a few gunsmiths. They’re always fixing 1911 platforms, well beyond what your would expect for their popularity. Everyone always says “two world wars,” and they were a great gun for they’re era, but there’s a reason they got replaced.





  • Off the top of my head:

    -Sold a bunch of merch that was comically oversized and left everyone stuck with unusable product.
    -Tried to arrange a deal under the table on an auction gun he got a look at before it went up.
    -Doesn’t help his teammates reset stages when at a shooting competition.
    -Failed to stand up for Karl when ARFCOM was making up lies about him.
    -Failed to give IRTV credit for organizing a 2GAC match, when that’s basically the only request they make for media.
    -Took on Lucas Botkin as a sponsor.
    -Copy-pasted brutality rules for his own spin-off match after falling out with Karl, and doing such a poor job he left in references to the venue or IRTV (I can’t remember which).
    -When asked why he was selling merch with a picture of himself that he hated, shrugged and said “money.”
    -Treats his wife more like “the help.”
    -Generally just thinks he’s better than you and you don’t deserve his respect.
    -Abuses copyright takedown requests.
    -Removes comments critical of him on his YouTube channel but claims doing so for other people was not possible (Karl, when ARFCOM happened).
    -Has expressed deep distain for his own audience.

    There’s more but that’s all I can remember right now.

    Edit: I should say that he’s generally pretty good at keeping this stuff out of the public eye, these are mostly only things you hear if you know the right people.





  • I think the phone market should also be broken up.

    The reason a doupoly is bad in any market is that it’s essentially next to no choice for the consumer, and the businesses can force changes to the market that are anti-consumer with little reprocussion. In any given market the minimum number of legitimate competitors necessary for meaningful competition will be different, but even three is too few in the web browser game, especially when the market shares look like this.
