FPS Russia is back after a decade-long hiatus (in Internet terms). The faux Slav explains his absence by admitting that “we lost a member of our team.” Ya think? Back in January, person or persons unknown tied-up FPS’ business partner Keith Ratliff and put a bullet (or several) in his brain. [The Georgia Bureau of Investigation tells TTAG the case is “still under investigation.”] FPS celebrates his return by shooting a mannequin soaked in gasoline with a UTS shotgun. Which breaks (the gun). Is it me or does this demo feel different knowing someone tapped FPS’ BFF? Especially as FPS recommends (jokingly) that firemen shoot each other in an emergency. Once again, FPS eschews proper eye and ear pro and blasts solid objects at point blank range. In some cases, live and learn does not apply.
Ronnie Barrett was one of the first (if not THE first) gun manufacturers to officially boycott an unlawful government (California, due to AB50).
Inspired by recent events and probably in no small part due to Mr. Barrett’s courageous 1st step:
5 manufacturers boycotting NYS…
Hornady, Smith & Wesson, Ruger, and others providing petition forms for people to contact their elected officials…
Online firearms vendor CheaperThanDirt donates $ 100,000 to Second Amendment Foundation…
World’s largest independent magazine manufacturer Magpul threatens to leave Colorado if anti-hi-cap-magazine bill is passed. Colorado House passes the bill, plus 3 others…
TWELVE MORE gun manufacturers officially boycott New York, some extend the boycott to ANY state/county/city that violates #2A rights…
Shield Tactical gives the middle finger to California, departs for Texas…
And now, it comes full circle. Ronnie Barrett officially boycotts New York.
I. LOVE. IT.
These guys are idiots aren’t they??
OK maybe the Soviet should not have shotguns. Make them stick to Kalashnikovs!!!
” When Oompa-Loompas go bad.”
All I hear is “blah blah blah…you’re friend was killed, you shouldn’t make anymore videos…blah blah blah”. I have no problem with this guy and find his videos entertaining. He took some time off but he’s doing what he does.
In the words of FPS Russia, “don’t be bi*ch!!”
Yes. YES. YES!!!!
This is the voice of reason.
Which will never even reach the President’s desk. As if it could change the mind of a Nobel Peace Pri. I can’t finish.
How did an elf your size get in my tree?
These laws [A1387] are literally IGNORANT at best. Case in Point! Your daughter and a bunch of her girlfriends go to Ocean City NJ for the weekend. Last year they went there and were walking along the beach at night. Some boys had bad intentions [rape] on their mind and attacked the young ladies. The girls had good parents which got them pepper spray to protect themselves and it drove the bad boys off. With this bill Pepper spray would be considered a weapon and the young ladies can’t carry it with them. What would the outcome be if they were attacked this time? Probably not a good outcome if they even survive the attack!
Funny how this guy, with all his facts and evidence is somehow less credible and will get less media attention than Gabby Giffords who managed to squeeze out “Violence is a big problem. Too many children are dying. Too many children. We must do something.”
And by funny I mean sad.
I don’t know what FPS Russia’s eyewear of choice is. However, I have a very nice pair of Wiley-X glasses that provide full-seal and an appropriate level of ballistic protection. From a distance, or on video (without a close-up) they would look like regular sunglasses (when using the interchangeable arms instead of the strap), but they are milspec ballistic resistant and shatterproof. I’ve had them since my unit issued them in the desert over six years ago and they haven’t failed me once.

I’m not saying the sunglasses in the video would meet the same standards, but it *is* possible.
The latest in the “No More Hesitation” target series.

He’s not from Russia, he’s a douchebag from Georgia playing a role. Doesn’t help the gun owner image at all. Like Jackass for guns.
Powerful and eloquent. Thank you Mr. Todd.
Richard Davis gets ready for his first armed delivery run.
I guess he’s having more fun than some people think is appropriate.
Jacob, An up and coming member of The Youth Leauge had caught another thought criminal.
The Shotgun SUCKS. And so does He.What an Idiot.
Personally I don’t have a problem with his lack of proper ear and/or eye pro. If he’s willing to risk losing sight in one eye for the sake of making some entertaining YouTube videos, God bless his commitment to his acting career!
I would hope that almost all readers on TTAG already know and recognize proper firearms safety whether through self-education or from their mentors who introduced them to shooting. The problem lies with kids who see this stuff on YT without having any experience with guns, turn 18 (or 21 depending on state), go out and buy themselves a few guns without the faintest idea of what they’re doing and behave recklessly, to the detriment of responsible gun owners. Not so much with the lack of hearing protection, but more so shooting without a safe backstop, poor trigger discipline, reckless pointing of the muzzle, etc. Growing up I was fortunate enough to have a father that instilled in me the importance proper gun handling techniques and the responsibility that goes along with gun ownership at a very young age. Of course the more people we can get involved in shooting sports and gun ownership the better, but anytime you have the opportunity to act as a mentor instead of our buddy FPS, go for it.
Hand over the borscht or Svetlana here gets it.
If the aforementioned Ms. Sanchez wishes to make this country a safer and better place, perhaps she should direct her energies toward banning the manufacture, distribution, sale and possession of Ugly Sticks.
She would certainly benefit directly from such legislation, although it may simply be all that hate and ignorance inside seeping out is manifesting itself visually.
Interesting premise. Now if you’ll hold on, I got to go try out
my new Magpul Angle foregrip App on my Colt M4 OS.
So not only is she anti-2A, she’s also anti-free enterprise.
Ahhh thoes evil black smart phones with their high capacity memory storage devices and high speed web browsing capabilities. Think of the children, especially the children who have this things. No child should have 24/7 access to porn and pedophiles.
Wow, I think I should run for congress. That was fun and easy.
Maybe… is that bad.. nice dress, oh is that the newest lips shade from Loreal?
In the after-mass of a blizzard in ND, it’s too god-damned cold to loot, let alone shoot the looters…
That and North Dakotans are incredibly law-abiding, doncha-know.
Well a shotgun with a detachable magazine partly compensates for fewer rounds. Wish there was a wider choice though- as I understand it the Baikal is no longer imported and Knoxx took their sidewinder kit off the market (this converted a mossberg 500 to accept detachable 5 and 10 round magazines), leaving just the Saiga 12 semi-auto where it is legal and the Valtro PM 5 pump as far as I know.
There’s nothing wrong with what this guys doing. This is america jack. Y’all quit being pussies.
I have no words for how mad this makes me. Doing nothing to save another’s life is the same as if they had shot them themselves.
These close call video you see by him are fake as fake as his Russian accent. The one where the door flies at him when he shoots that truck the door is CGI. The drone with a machine gun flying around shooting stuff it’s CGI. This guy gets huge funding has someone who does really good CGI work, so it’s safe to assume in any of the extreme video you see him do that is life threatening and all that well it’s all fake. Seriously don’t understand why most people can’t spot this.
