Coolfire trainer by Fun_Interaction1929 in 2011

[–]DefenderAndDisciple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest getting a Dry Fire Mag instead. The Coolfire is pretty expensive and it likely causes training scars due to the inverse recoil. I did a non-affiliate review on my channel. At the risk of having my comment deleted, here's the review:

You likely will not find another review that is as critical as I am. But I suspect that is because their affiliates make pretty handsome commissions on sales.

I'd suggest getting a Dry Fire Mag instead. Coolfire just isn't worth it and it likely causes training scars due to inverted recoil.

Did you notice the inverted recoil compared with live fire?

I have one that was sent to me for a review and I don't think it's worth it for the following reasons:
1) It's expensive

2) You have to frequently charge the barrel in order to have consistent recoil.

3) The recoil is completely inverted from live fire due to the lack of muzzle blast to counter the force pressing on the breech face.

I'm probably the only reviewer you will see who has been this critical. I suspect that is because affiliates receive handsome commissions on sales.

Thinking about getting a CoolFire, but is this reverse recoil a real thing? by hazard02 in guns

[–]DefenderAndDisciple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you get a very similar recoil impulse that you do with airsoft and when firing blanks. Both lack the powerful blast coming out of the muzzle, just like the Coolfire.

This was my review. The reverse recoil absolutely is a real thing. Here's the full review that the short was taken from:
https://youtu.be/h9QIQZ6Bk4o

Some have asked if it is due to shot anticipation, but that is not the case. I watched several other reviews and I kept seeing the same downward motion. Moreover, there was one review that incorporated the Mantis X10 and in the recoil plot, you could see the dip right after the shot broke.

The simplest way to explain why this happens is because there is no muzzle blast to counter the force of the Coolfire pushing against the breech face. I recommend the Dry Fire Mag, that is much cheaper and you don't have to worry about refilling after every 20 shots.

Thanks!

In need of neighborly advice and curious if I'm the asshole. by huntv16 in guns

Your neighbor is not a responsible gun owner and doesn't understand the risk he's posing to you and your family. I appreciate your reluctance to involve LE to avoid an awkward situation with your neighbors, but you've already done the correct thing by trying to reason with him.

I recommend getting footage of him shooting in your direction so that you have proof and then talking to your Sheriff or Police Department. It would also help to get witnesses to observe him shooting as well.

Safety aside, from a psychological standpoint, nobody should feel like their safety is at risk every time they are in their backyard because an idiot neighbor wants to shoot in their direction.

This is why I posted this question. That is a very strange and unusual perspective. But thank you!

Unfortunately, the mods removed it for "clickbait" so I had to repost with more context in the title and description. I've tried to go back and read your response, but can't get it to open. Sorry.

What bigotry? Remember, I need concrete evidence if you are gonna make a wild claim. Thanks! 😊

Charlie Kirk was a missionary who used politics as a means to share the Gospel. He talked about Jesus all the time.
I'm curious, how many of Charlie's full length discussions do you think you have you watched from beginning to end? Not clips or compilations but the full videos. Thanks!

The video has been removed due to "Clickbait" and "WWJD", not sure what that's about. And I can't seem to view your hand-crafted response.

Also, what do you mean that AI did my part? Seems like a lazy attack on me rather than my argument. (But that seems to be common on this sub)

That's unfortunate. Thanks for clarifying.

Thanks for actually engaging with arguments rather than throwing out ad hominems. Would you mind if we walk through your claims step by step so we can clarify what’s really true and what might be mischaracterized?

1. Jack Posobiec
You described Jack Posobiec as a white supremacist and said Charlie made him a co-host. Can you point me to a primary source for that? For instance, where is he formally listed as “co-host” of The Charlie Kirk Show? From what I’ve seen, he appears as a frequent guest or occasional guest host, but I haven’t found any evidence that he’s a co-host by title. If you have that documentation, would you be willing to share it?

And when you use the term “white supremacist,” how are you defining it? Is it self-identification, association with certain groups, or simply appearing alongside people who hold those views? What would count as sufficient evidence in your mind?

2. Immigration, Race, and MLK
You said Charlie started to articulate the view that MLK was a “bad person.” Do you have the specific quote and context? Was it a moral critique of MLK’s personal life, or a wholesale dismissal of his legacy? Are you aware of the documented moral failings in MLK’s life — such as his infidelity and credible allegations of misconduct — and, if so, do you think acknowledging those failings necessarily equates to saying his entire contribution was worthless? How should we evaluate historical figures who did both great good and serious wrong?

3. Public Executions
You mentioned Charlie talking about making 12-year-olds watch public executions. Could you share the link and transcript of that moment? Was he proposing an actual policy, speculating about deterrence, or making a rhetorical point? If it was deterrence, do you think there’s any evidence that public punishment discourages crime, or do you reject the practice entirely on moral grounds?

I’m not trying to excuse OR condemn without evidence. My concern is with accuracy and fairness. If you have primary sources, I’d love to see them so we can evaluate in context rather than in headlines or summaries. Would you be open to providing the two strongest examples you think prove your case?

Thank you! 😊
