I tend to believe Tim, but he is unstable enough that it could all be bullshit too. I did always get a bitchy feel from Kim though, from her interjections in the videos.

I don't think he lies on purpose but that he genuinely believes what he perceives and will go scorched earth(see: the poisoned meatballs situation, RIP neighborhood pets) if he deems necessary.
I do agree with his rant about people suddenly going with God as if it solves all their problems though. Shit irritates me, too.

 

[Romulus augustulus]

God as if it solves all their problems though

It irks me a little too. The only problem going with god solves is the end state of your eternal soul. Just having faith doesn't mean you are entitled for the good life from god. We are fallen creatures. it is our very nature.

looks like Kim took "Tim's statement" down

Man, if he doesn’t own the Buffalo Bore YouTube channel what a mess - of course, with the boomer understanding of technology maybe he just meant she has admin permissions or something.

I hope for his, or her, sake it doesn’t get really messy (who knows from our vantage point what’s true or not, maybe they’re both nuts, maybe she is, maybe he is) - I ended a relationship once where once the decision was made I spent a couple weeks thinking about all the potential ways she’d try and ruin my life afterwards, like what I was going to tell my manager after she called my work and made shit up.
Fortunately it wasn’t that bad, but that’s not something I’d wish on anyone.

 

[quaawaa]

maybe they’re both nuts

It's definitely this one. Kim would always agree with Tim's conspiracies and often proactively said conspiracy stuff of her own. I would suspect that one or both of them cheated on the other because they appeared to be mirror images of each other.

Tim Sundles had no part in his wife's video being posted, apparently because she has ownership of the channel, and comes out swinging claiming she is a liar and wants to destroy him as well as disrupt his relationship with their children.
Even more shocking is that he hasn't spoken to her in three months.

Maybe she left him because he thinks its a good idea to record a video while burning the loudest wood known to man 3 ft. from the microphone

Why am I not surprised that he has booking photos?

I almost didn't bother because this is such a nothing video. Tier lists like this are sort of dumb to begin with and barrel lengths is a topic that is both to broad to do without narrowing criteria and also it doesn't matter really anyway.

Spoiler: Hot Take

If we are talking 5.56 ARs as long as your barrel length is between 11.5" and 16" it doesn't fucking matter for 99% of situations, and even if you're outside that range while I'd call it an over optimization it's still fine.

The two points I really want to hit on this video:

You can tell how emotionally invested Trench is in a video subject by how much he tells his audience to not get emotional. He clearly has some emotional hang ups and it's obvious while watching the video

Trench repeatedly references reliability while discussing the barrel lengths and that a good summation of his understanding of the whole matter. He equates barrel length with reliability, and while dwell time can impact reliability and dwell time is related to barrel length, Trench never mentions dwell time and I'd bet doesn't really understand dwell time, gas system length, or gas port size and their relation to reliability.

I'm not going to summarize his opinions on each length, here is his rankings

S tier: 14.5
A tier: 11.5
B tier: 16, 20
C tier: 10.5
Trash tier: 12.5, 13.7, 18
Nuclear Waste tier: 7.5

If you're a man then 20in is the only option. Everything shorter is for women and homosexuals.

Tier lists are the XKCD comics of youtube videos. Complete conversation killers.

NO, you have to get maximum ballistic performance out of every round. You never know if you're facing class IV body armor. 24" or you're going to get clapped and raped.

And anything longer is for hillbillies and geriatrics.

Correct. The homosexual option is to channel your inner Clavicular and start tax stampmaxxing to AMOG the other homos at the range, because gun ownership is apparently supposed to be some sort of potlatch where you "win" by being more extravagantly wasteful than the other guy.

Y'all wanna see my new AR-15?


I even got it with a Wylde chamber so I can shoot .223 AND 5.56mm! Anyone know where I can get an adapter so I can use my Weaver rail instead of this picaninny rail bull****?

Yeah pretty much. "Help us pay for the $500 of ammo we just wasted we couldn't do this without you". FRTs and full auto get old real quick even in .22. For people running .308 or .300blk you're probably burning like $800/minute or $48K an hour. 5.56 would be $360/minute or $22K an hour. That's probably what most people make yearly or every 6 months just gone in minutes.
I can't think of a more costly thing you could do with such an unsubstantial outcome. Even a crazy drug problem isn't as bad and is a way better value imo

It's the mindless consumer aspect of the vast majority of Guntube that annoys me the most.
I get that shit like FRTs are a neat toy, but I have zero interest in watching some failed abortion burn several grand worth of ammo for some incredibly stupid and gay video.

more and more, i find myself more engaged with videos with limited shooting. Like load testing and development and similar. Like the things Rob at british muzzleloaders and Belaz at CapandBall does. I really enjoy hunting videos too. driven pheasant, cape buffalo and that sort of thing.

I realized I'm the same way (read: old) when I looked at my favorite two gun channels: ForgottenWeapons and Paul Harrel. Man talks about thing for 26 minutes, 2 minutes of very interesting shooting. Kino.

Too bad Paul is dead. Roy does his best, god bless him.

The gold standards of what Guntube could have been. One a guy with near autistic levels of dedication to historical accuracy in both kit and arms, the other an academic who brings legitimate intellectual rigor to the field.
