What would you change about your WWSD project if legal constraints weren’t a factor?
C.j.
Which BCGs did you end up using on the WWSD rifles? I heard Karl mention in one video that he was using the faxon gunner lightweight BCG.
Sean G
how tight are the wwsd rifle fit mating up aluminum upper to polymer lowers. (upper lower play or wobble)
Levi C
Of all the odd rifles the two of you have used in 2G-ACM, which rifles comes to mind as the ones that y'all had the most fun shooting with, regardless of how you placed?
Pokeroots
I want to get into collecting C&R but also participate in in matches like 2 gun, where would you suggest one start?
Brandon A
I want to be practical but find that the fal and ptr91 fight me perfectly and are to only rifles that feel natural. Is it just my fascination to the rifles that are clouding my judgement or is it possible that in theory I can keep up with ar15s?
Thomas B
Is competition necessary to improve skill/ stress inoculate, or is time stress and people seeing your score sufficient?
James L
I am interested in competition like your 2G-ACM you have out West in Arizona, how can I find these kind of events near me? It seems everything I can find even semi local is bench rest marksmanship, or similar.
Mark S
Karl, being the AK guru, is it better to run a red dot on a railed gas block or the side rail?
Eric B
What are your thoughts on the linear comp / blast can / sound forwarding device muzzle attachments? Does the benefit of "less perceived concussion" offset additional weight ? Does it really make you a better neighbor at the range with the trend of AR and AK pistols or shorter barreled rifles ?
Paul S
During the various matches and tactical training you have attended, have you found one type of load bearing equipment (chest rig, war belt, etc.) more generally useful or comfortable than others?
Deviant Ollam
What is it about handgun calibers that makes the projectiles ill-suited for being pointed Spitzer type bullets?
Matthew J
Are bottlenecked, high-velocity, spitzer bullets for pistols and PDWs (FN's 5.7 , HK's 4.6, maybe .22 TCM) a dead end, the future, or doomed to be a niche application?
Nick C
How does the ATF feel about using a registered auto sear in a weapon it was not originally designed for?
Adam G
Thoughts on the mini 14/30 as a defensive or competition rifle?
Adam M
Do you think that cartridges like 50 Beowulf have any application in modern combat?
Stephen W
In regards to Ian's Chauchat LMG have you considered that giving it's intended use, as an fire suppressing assault weapon, that it's inaccuracy is not a fault but rather a design feature?
Scott G
Do you believe the 1911 platform (in a world of polymer double stacks} is still a "viable" weapons platform?
Molly
What are the practical and technical differences between Red Dot sights, Reflex sights, Holographic sights and Prismatic sights.
James H
For those of us with astigmatism issues making red dots into blurry messes, are there any other options for zero eye relief sights worth trying?
Seth N
What are your experiences with red dot optics vs. holographic?
Derek M
Is the lever action alternative history series still on the horizon, or are their other projects that come first?
Shawn A
Are we going to be getting any new "Old West Vignette" in the near future?
Cody S
I like InRange in large part because of you, the presenters. What sort of non firearm related hobbies do you have, or previously had?
Carl V
Short question:
AKs in .223, are they a viable alternative considering the lack of access to 5.45?
Ian S
Do non-wipe suppressors wear out with use? Is there a difference in lifespan on rifle suppressors or pistol suppressors?
Kyle C
In your opinon, if the Browning Automatic Rifle had been kept at the M1918 standard, lightened and rechambered in 7.62 NATO, could it have been a better option than the M14?
Mitchell C
As a follow-up to your answer on my AK question last month: What are your thoughts on the new Galils in 5.56?
Fabian H
Asking this again: What are your thoughts on the Shell Shock Technologies two-piece cases?
Pavel S
If you were forced to fight in a real Rattenkrieg type urban battle (e.g. Stalingrad, Grozny) , which one firearm would you bring?
Sam W
know very little about the current net neutrality debate and I have heard compelling arguments either way. In your opinion, what is the best argument against net neutrality and why is it wrong?
Steppin' Razor
Would it be possible for people to effectively build distributed networks utilizing less resource intensive infrastructure and have connection as good or better than we have become accustomed to?

"A semi auto SMG is like a shotgun relegated to one buckshot pellet at a time." Brilliant analogy.
-
In Europe: 'Let's go see a WW1 and WW2 battlefield'
-
I've got to say, your take on Net Neutrality is the best I've heard. The analogy of the "Town Square" is spot on. Please separate it out into its own video and I'll share with everyone I know.
-
For those with an astigmatism;I astigmatisms in both eyes, and this is what works for me and has worked for several other people I've turned into it since:Try using a red dot absolutely co-witnessed through a small rear apature. You don't need the front sight up to do this, the key is the small apature rear constricting the light entering your eye.I use this with an Aimpoint micro (R1) on a lower 1/3 mount by looking over the sights at the big smudge of a dot for 0-50, and dropping down on to the sights which shrinks and sharpens the dot allowing better accuracy at longer ranges or smaller targets.
-
I have a question, Karl. Can you provide an answer?
-
"I smell Lindybeige"? Excuse me good sir but I've seen him launder his shirts myself.
-
Now we need an Ian bagpipe video. Please? It is xmas.
-
InRangeTV Been looking forward to this since the October 2017 Q&A. Really love these Q&A videos, keep up the good work Ian and karl.

Karl I can echo your history feeling. On my short list for years was to walk Omaha and Utah and in 2002 I finally did it. After studying the events of that day for decades; to stand on those beaches and (in the case of Omaha) look up at the bluffs; to see the modern reality in front of me while my mind placed the black and white past over the very spot I was standing; it was an awesome experience. Good Q&A. Nobody asked about the STG? We were told we would get a magazine update on the HMG Facebook page and then the week ended without one. I guess no knowledge on your side either. Enjoy both channels. Keep your powder dry and your faith in God.

"I think people out them on in the background and listen to the audio." Discreetly ALT + F4s the game I'm playing.
-
LOVED the thorough treatment of the WWSD project. So many issues. It's been my favorite from start to impending finish.
-
Every time I listen to one of your Q&A videos, usually takes about 3 days to get through one, I am amazed by how much knowledge you guys have in both modern and historic firearms. I especially like it when you get off on the "what if" tangents. I am especially excited for the next project: Lever Gun What If Alternate History. I personally feel that they are an under rated platform. It would be interesting/fun to see each of you pick your favorite lever gun model and cartridge and shoot a match with them.
-
Witold Pilecki was the Polish fighters name. Incredibly interesting character. Sabaton, the band you saw in Finland, actually has a song about him called Inmate 4859
-
Love the q&a's. I could listen to you guys talk for hours.
-
Am I the only one that is kinda sad so few seem to watch these awesome videos to completion? Always enjoy your guys' content! Keep up the awesome work!
-
"I think ppl put it in the background and listen to the audio" as he said this I launched HOI4
-
Yes! So excited to hear the lever gun series is coming!
-
Karl, I must admit being surprised that you didn't include the 1860 Henry as a fun gun to use :) REALLY looking forward to that new series too!
-
Karl, you don't understand how happy I am hearing you say you play Hurdy Gurdy- I'm in my universities early music ensemble and it's the one instrument I never get to play for more than a few minutes- I'm stuck in the wind section. Nothing like a great dance tune on a hurdy gurdy. In relating music to some of the more popular topics on Inrange, it would be really neat to see videos on recreation and it's impact on the battlefield, such as pianos delivered to fronts, marching songs and cadences, military bands and also things like sports, games, holidays and other things that keep people deployed into bad situations mentally healthy.
-
I was so excited when I saw the Jeep in your older videos, and I'm kinda sad to hear it's gone. But one of the few things I love more than historical guns is old Jeeps (and classic vehicles in general).
