lol holy fuck I'm sorry for leaving multiple comments on the same post but jfc:
"I would have expected higher engagement with the Taser video
FW has 340k views for 12 minutes of Ian sitting at a table
IRTV has 22 minutes of actual tasing and a full history of the company
sigh
I can't imagine what goes through the mind of someone like this. He's actually incapable of comprehending why people might dislike him, or hell even just not particularly like him.
Plus also this is a hugely cuntish way to talk about the project (that Ian dedicates a fuck load of time to) that someone who you're apparently friends with.
I met him a few years ago and he seemed chill but these screeshots reveal he's become a bitter and jealous cunt.
It's gotta be that Ian is moving away from him for being a faggot. Having Ian in his episodes, which was the norm a year ago and before, had to of been a massive boon for his channel's successes. Now that he's lost his power up, he's having to face the reality, which he clearly doesn't like. And just like the leftist he is, he's rationalizing it away in any way he can (muh covid, Ian cult, every other guntuber besides me is an anti-intellectual trog pandering to other trogs).
One of the screen caps in the OP in particular, where he blames covid for a stark drop in viewership.. nah bruh, it's whenever it became clear Ian wasn't going to be a regular anymore. lol
Clear when Ian was no longer going to be there anymore and the fact he's a leftist punk who meets the definition of /r/AsAGunOwner. It is very much a "Fuck you I've got mine" mentality as he says he'll happily vote for Biden.
All it would take to destroy InRange at this point is for a couple of the larger channels to just come out and say: "Well Karl's voting for Biden." and that ends it.
where he blames covid for a stark drop in viewership.
I am pretty sure people were sitting on their assess watching youtube more during that time, and were specifically wanting to learn more about guns due to general civil unrest
I honestly thought inrange was another Ian FW channel and Karl was just a sidekick. I never subbed to it and the only videos I ever clicked on had Ian in them.
I thought the same thing for many years that it was Ian's second channel where he brought in Karl as Karl has been around the various competition circuits. So when it came time to test historical weapons on the clock. In the last year its become more Karl and less Ian which I sort of understood as Ian was away a lot filming for forgotten weapons. But in the past few months it seems like its more than that.
Karl is an insufferable leftist cuck who can't tolerate not being venerated and ass-kissed at all times by all of the neckbeards on his discord server. If people don't conduct themselves on his server in precisely the way he likes, he loses his shit.
Oh, and if you don't know who Karl is, he's the main host of InRangeTV on youtube, which is only known at all because it featured Ian from Forgottenweapons. But we've been seeing Ian less and less on the channel so there's basically no more point to it.
Wow, just finally had a chance to sit down and read the screen caps. I'm thinking that another reason Ian isn't on there much anymore goes beyond him just being busy with FW.
Sinister guy is meh at best. I mean if I want to watch a fat guy with a dry monotone voice talk about guns I'll watch Small Arms Solutions.
But he wonders why his view count is down. Well after he pulled the blackout shit I stopped watching. I'm sure a lot of others did as well.
Then when he bitches about 11B's...well there is a fuck more to being infantry than just shooting a gun. And no matter how many kettlebells you toss or laps your run nothing simulates the first time you shit your pants at incoming fire. Not to mention fire & movement tactics, ambush tactics, that no amount of action challenge matches are going to simulate.
There's a Clint Smith clip somewhere on Youtube that I think sums people like Karl up where Clint says something along the lines, "There's no timer beep in a gun fight."
I once had the displeasure of RO'ing a match he attended. Never have I met such a sour, cranky individual at a match. Usually it's great to find like-minded gun folks that just enjoy shooting both steel & the bull
Damn, I just clicked through that shitpile of screencaps. Having also talked with Ian in person, I am genuinely surprised that they ever collabed to begin with. Luckily Forgotten Weapons is posting more shooting content, makes it easier to unsub InRange for the old gat shooting footage
I unsubbed when Karl stated if it came time to lose all his rights he would cut and run instead of stay and fight. Between that and the going black in support of BLM and I haven't watched since and certainly won't be buying anything from KE arms either.
Couple of years ago at Tiger Valley. The neckbeards brought in by InRange were interesting, some even cosplayed. It was pretty weird for the vets I was more used to seeing there, though
Didn't that used to be a 4 man competition? Friend of mine works at a small sheriff's department in Nebraska and was always trying to put a team together, but between being a small department and the competition usually being held about the same time as deer season I don't think he ever managed.
He's the fag who everyone links to when someone claims the AK performs better than the AR in mud, even though his test was barely consistent between rifles.
Anyone know why Karl the Cuck dislikes Demo ranch? I get that he's kind of cringey and monetizes the shit out of his channel, which I don't think is inherently bad, but I'm not understanding* what the actual problem with him is.
I gave up on InRange when they went dark for BLM or whatever the shit was. I respect the whole 2-Gun Action Challenge thing and wish there was a club around me that held such matches on a regular basis. All we have is an outlaw 2-gun match at an indoor range so it's high round counts at point blank range.
I think you are onto the clearest interpretation. New gun owners come into the hobby and, he's pissed they aren't perfectly educated... He does come off as someone who seeks to be the contrarian and always pointing out the negative in what people are doing
Yeah, that was pretty clear from their SHOT show videos. Going around dunking on normies who really don't understand their own products. I get it, the products are dumb, but everyone already knows that. IDK not super classy. Just came off as mean spirited.
Ya, the pgo shotguns have extremely niche applications and wont spread within 5m. He did make a post on youtube pointing out that these screenshots were doctored. He posted a picture that shows he didn't say he hated new gun owners just the first sentence. So, this archive is prolly mostly smear. He is clearly a grouchy dick but, he wasn't as vindictive as this suggests. I also think he wouldn't publicly trash giant youtubers on discord. That's real dumb and, he clearly isn't brain dead.
First I'm reading any of this, honestly I'm shocked. I've only ever watched the videos from IRTV, in those he seems pretty reasonable. Maybe not quite as tactful as he should be sometimes, but reasonable.
But calling for anyone who wears a cringey hat to be shot on sight, while simultaneously condemning the dude who shot a person that was actively trying to bash his skull in with a skateboard? Is this guy off his meds or something?
Kind of crazy but I cant say I'm surprised, Karl always seemed like he needed smacked in the mouth just by the way he interacts with people. His channel did have some pretty cool match content though.
He always came off to me as someone with a chip on his shoulder, and thinks he's the smartest one in the room. He was sure to try and prove it to people. I remember watching the bullpup video, and Ian just saying they're not really for me but there are some reasons why they were adopted. Then Karl just makes an absolute statement that all bullpups are trash, always.
The only InRangeTV videos I watched without Ian are about the Indians shooting kkk members, and that bridge shooting. Forgot the name of both. I saw his other video about the minie balls. I tried watching his other videos and he just isn't enjoyable to watch.
Also, all the guys who work at the gun store down the street have that same damn haircut.
Yes, Karl is trying to suppress this proof of him being a tool (just like he tries to hide the Facebook screenshots about him being in a 'poly' 'relationship').
They're available here though:
https://archive.is/zZloa
You might need to right-click and open the images in a new tab, unfortunately he's really tried to cleanse the internet of all proof about his behavior.
Wasn't he meal team leader at the Seattle CHUDZ?
Long had my doubts about OnKneesTV, Karl always struck me a hobbiest who had no love for the RTKABA. Not surprised to see them confirmed

First time I got shot at I couldn't even unholster my pistol due to how badly my hands were shaking.
First time I got shot at I couldn't shoot back because it was over by the time I was done tucking my boner in my battle belt so I could even function.
I once had the displeasure of RO'ing a match he attended. Never have I met such a sour, cranky individual at a match. Usually it's great to find like-minded gun folks that just enjoy shooting both steel & the bull

I've met Ian before a couple times at auctions.
I mean, I am currently living in Peru. Women are hotter and I have to deal with less of this bullshit
Hmm, was this somewhat recent? I met him at DEFCON a few years ago and he seemed like a chill guy there.
Couple of years ago at Tiger Valley. The neckbeards brought in by InRange were interesting, some even cosplayed. It was pretty weird for the vets I was more used to seeing there, though

2 man. It's a fun match

All the people he's hating on have bigger channels than he does and they make more money than him. Pretty obvious to me.
Considering some of the things he's said, I'm willing to wager a decent bit of it is envy of Matt's success.
Yeah I typed that comment before I perused all of the screen caps.
That's the conclusion I came to.
I gave up on InRange when they went dark for BLM or whatever the shit was. I respect the whole 2-Gun Action Challenge thing and wish there was a club around me that held such matches on a regular basis. All we have is an outlaw 2-gun match at an indoor range so it's high round counts at point blank range.
Ahhh the old six stages of bullet hose cuz we lack the space match. Been there, done that.
I've long suspected Karl and Ian are both lefties w/ a hobby. I'd love for someone to prove me wrong.
Ian isn't. I suspect there's a reason we've been seeing him less and less on InRange while Forgottenweapons is still going strong.
IMO Karl is more of a contrarian anarchist, while Ian is more of a libertarian academic.
I think you are onto the clearest interpretation. New gun owners come into the hobby and, he's pissed they aren't perfectly educated... He does come off as someone who seeks to be the contrarian and always pointing out the negative in what people are doing

HI KARL Tell your girlfriend's boyfriend hi from us
Thanks for the link, that is more believable. The fact that Karl has a prickly personality unfortunately makes it easier to peg shit like this on him.
The link no worky worky.
He always came off to me as someone with a chip on his shoulder, and thinks he's the smartest one in the room. He was sure to try and prove it to people.

You're an actual fucking moron if you believe these screencaps. Never before have I seen a group full of such whiny bitch losers.
OK Karl
