For firearms-related mayhem action, John Wayne Taylor highly recommends Netflix’ series The Punisher. On the other side of the scale, quartz.qz.com‘s Adam Epstein is a big fan of a new Paramount TV series. “WACO” LAMENTS AMERICA’S UNIQUE, TRAGIC OBSESSION WITH GUNS the all caps headline proclaims. Strangely, Mr. Epstein doesn’t see it as a human drama . . .

Implicit in the show’s depiction of the ATF raid are biting critiques of both the ATF’s planning of the raid and the Davidians’ response to it.
Once again, Noesner’s attempts to resolve the situation peacefully are met with resistance from the more militaristic factions within the FBI, who badly want a “win” following the Ruby Ridge debacle.
Both sides, armed to the teeth with automatic weapons, make tragic errors, but the blame ultimately rests with the killing machines that allowed the massacre to take place.
Yeah, I blame the guns. That makes perfect sense. [/sarc]
What gun-related TV entertainment has time-sucked your life? Walking Dead? Game of Thrones? (JK)
The scope appears to be almost 6″ above the bore. Is this a problem with bullpups?
Strike Back. Pretty neat series about a clandestine team that goes after bad guys.
Tons of different firearms used in the show.
I binged it over a few weekends.
Handled a couple of these at SHOT. K&M had 300BLK, 5.56, and 308 models on display. All models felt far more durable than the mostly plastic counterparts from TAVOR, Steyr, or Kel-Tec, and MSRP is right there with the competition. Controls are simple but effective, and overall they were generally snag-free. The owner and designer was a friendly guy. All production and parts flow out of Chandler, AZ.
The 308 model was most impressive. It’s significantly lighter than an RDB or TAVOR 7, yet the mostly-aluminum chassis and simple top rail are cleaner and feel sturdier than any other bullpup I’ve handled.
The 300BLK and 308 models on display had adjustable gas blocks. The 5.56 model did not, but the owner stated that it’s in the works and should be available this year.
I’m adding my name to the waiting list for a 5.56.
The RDB weights less the than the K&M 556 by almost a pound (6.7lbs vs 7.4) and can be purchased for $900. The RFB, is lighter than the K&M 308 by a few ounces (8.1lbs vs 8.2/8.5). I paid $1200 for mine. The trigger is really good for a bullpup and it’s 100% ambidextrous. And after 3000 rounds through my RFB, the only problems that I’ve had were either a bad mag or shooter error. Very pleased with my rifle.
I like the K&M, but not being ambi makes it a no go. Aside from being left handed, I will not own a weapon that I cannot use with either hand. You never know when you will need to. Rather have the option and not need it, rather than need it and not have it. Supposedly they have a case deflector that’s supposed to make it lefty friendly. Haven’t seen anyone run it through its paces, though.
If you’re going to outsource your own argument, here’s a tip: DON’T leave it to Chelsea Handler or any other leftist morons on Twitter.
I second Lucas’ motion.
Quoting Chelsea Handler is a quick way to undermine your own credibility.
PInk camo is actually quite effective. Pink increases your safety by virtue of being highly visible to humans, but to the herbivores you’re hunting, it’s a plain gray that blends in well with the rest of the camo pattern.
In fact, it’s far superior to blaze orange as safety wear. Bright pink is every bit as visible to humans, if not more so. And while deer see orange as a pale yellow that stands out against the landscape’s predominant browns/grays/greens, they see pink only as another ordinary gray.
Maybe that’s what they should have gone for…
Pink camo might be safer among humans who aren’t red/green colorblind…but I’ve heard it doesn’t work so great for those guys.
Fauda on Netflix. It’s basically Strike Back in Israel. Of course, you have to put up with Israeli carry.

Not my circus.
Not my monkeys.
Not my problem.
There’s a reason we don’t talk about allowing purple stop signs or blue construction signs. It’s not about self expression, it’s about a simple rule that identifies humans in the woods. Should female road construction crew members be allowed to wear pink?
