OCCAM Defense Rifles & The Root Word of Gun Control

Navigate This Post

Jarrad was messing around with an OCCAM Defense rifle recently, and while he’s working on a full article that he wants to share with everyone, he thought he’d give you guys his initial thoughts! Also, an American good-guy was in Germany and stopped an assault on a woman, and got stabbed in the face for it. Is this the future (or present) of the US’s big cities? Listen up, hippie!

EPISODE SUMMARY

Occam Defense Pistol Discussion

The discussion centered on the Occam Defense OD-1775 pistol, which Jarrad described as a smaller version of the rifle, featuring walnut wood and a powerful 10.5-inch barrel.

The professor explained that the OD-1775 is considered the “Cadillac of AKs” and noted that Occam Defense also makes accessories for various rifles, including a magwell for Ruger American Ranch rifles.

The conversation concluded with a discussion about the evolution of military optics, particularly the adoption of EOTech holographic weapon sights and magnifiers during the Global War on Terror, with the professor having recently published an article about pairing the EOTech XPS2 with a 3x magnifier.

Challenges in Mechanical Offset Calculations

The discussion focused on the challenges of calculating mechanical offsets in shooting, particularly with high risers on optics. The professor expressed concerns about the trend of using excessive risers, noting that it complicates shooting and training.

Jarrad explained that learning to calculate offsets takes time and practice, even in controlled conditions.

The conversation also touched on the influence of social media on gear choices, with the Professor warning against buying unnecessary accessories before mastering current equipment.

Good Samaritan Stabbing Case Update

The group discussed a story about an American “Good Samaritan” stabbed in Germany after intervening when two men were harassing female passengers on a tram.

The attacker was arrested but later released due to lack of sufficient evidence linking him to the stabbing, despite having previous charges.

Jarrad shared details about his Occam Defense pistol, including its specifications and customization options, and mentioned that deposits are currently being accepted for the firearm.

Gun Control’s Futility and Absurdity

The discussion focused on the futility of gun control measures, using examples from England, Australia, and other countries where disarmament has not reduced violent crime.

The professor emphasized that gun control is ultimately about control and that left-wing ideologies, including communism and socialism, seek to disarm citizens to increase state power.

The conversation concluded with a discussion of Australia’s recent ban on machetes, highlighting the absurdity of such restrictions and the failure of gun control to address the root causes of crime.
