This little gem from YouTuber Yankee Marshall has racked-up 100k views since it was posted during the waning moments of 2016. And why not? YM is a funny dude and caliber wars are click bait catnip. That said, it’s never a good idea to insult your audience.

YM dissing viewers who have their Depends in a twist, those wearing special helmets, or who masturbate to cat videos isn’t likely to endear him to anyone other than Kimberly-Clark’s physically and mentally challenged employees. Assuming they don’t carry a .45. And have internet access.

As for the Marshall’s arguments, .40 caliber ammo may make deeper holes in your target than .45’s, but which round offers a better chance at accurate shot placement? (Hint: the less snappy of the two.) As for YM’s inability to assign advantages to the .45 caliber round, how about this: it’s not .40. Other than that…. And this from a guy who carries a Cabot .45 caliber 1911.
