The youngest of six children, POSTA grew up in a musical environment, he began his career in 2010 under the direction of Derrick A. Chatman, where he was a music producer and grew into a record producer. While under Southern Mecca Records he co-executive produced one album and over 5 singles for Nick Branden (formerly Slick Nick) that did very well on radio. The album alone took the team on tour with the UniverSoul Circus.

It wasn’t until 2011 where Posta wanted to his music career to the next level by attending Full Sail University, where he received his Bachelors in Records Arts (October 2014) days before graduation Posta decided to jump right back in and complete his Masters in Entertainment Business – (October 2015) and Masters in Digital Marketing (September 2021)

Late 2011 Syvlon Marshall (Epic Records/Builders International) & Troy Marshall (EMPIRE) showed an almost immediate interest in Posta and full funded his college education. 2014 the father/son duo linked Posta with Bang (Builders International/Strange Music) where supplies music production and records for major artist/labels.

In 2015 Posta landed his first major album placement with the hip-hop legend Jadakiss on his fourth album (Top 5 Dead Or Alive #T5DOA) His record Cutlass (feat. Ex.od.us) was the most popular non-single on the entire album. Cutlass lead in streams a month after the album due to the heavy support and following from Posta. T5DOA went on to sell over 400,000 units. He’s currently back working with Poobs & Jadakiss from D-Block & Def Jam gearing up for the fifth album.

After years of gaining experience and knowledge Posta finally formed his own publishing/production company (2080 Music | TwentyEIGHTY) in 2018.

On March 1, 2019, Posta released his first commercial EP, 99% Demi Love."

I’ve been using Vortex optics on my ARs. I have a .300 WM, 5.56 and a 6.8mm SPC.
The 5.56 I only use in competition. It’s been lightened and anodized black and Cerakote did the upper and lower in a dark pink with a Hello Kitty for me.
The 300 I don’t shoot much because it kinda scares me. I won in at a competition in Kentucky for junior 3 Gun; it’s made by Falkor Defense.
My 5.56 is made by LWRC and the 6.8mm is a Daniel Defense.

I’m still working on what works best for me. I’m sure I’d be more motivated if I had to use my rifles for work like you did, Mr Larry!

P.S
My dad got a Sig MPX in 9mm with a Vortex red dot. It has a magazine of Buffalo Bore +P jacketed hollow points. It also has a barrel light by SureFire.
Dad thought I’d be more comfortable with the machine pistol than just a Glock 19X Gen 5.

I also want to thank Larry for pointing out most people in the military (while they served) aren't into the firearms to the point we knew all of the designations and variants. Sometimes people think military personnel know everything about every weapon but in reality it's just a tool and most know enough to use it correctly, depending upon if they used it as a part of their job.

As a 10 year veteran Marine I find it so interesting that once upon a time carbines were considered weapons for noncombatants, support types with other primary roles, while the long guns were for the front lines.

Then there was a change where carbines became the sought after standard for front line combatants, relegating left over long rifles for the support types and rear echelon.

And now, which is the most interesting part, the military seems to be going back to giving the long n heavies back to the front lines lol.

You’re doing it wrong. Swap all the way over to lefty. Use the left hand on the grip, right hand for support, and you’ll start to hit shit.

I’m left eye dominant, right handed, served from 04-09, and never had an issue when I swapped over to lefty for long guns. Of course all the range time and training helped. As a kid I didn’t know any better and would often ignore rifles. Shotguns natural point of aim and it was easy mode for me. Handguns I could cheat over to my left eye right handed. Still do.

All you’re doing is swapping your trigger finger. Being right hand dominant keeping that firing hand on the trigger is easy, and all your reloads will be natural and fluid.

They'd put vinyl camo contact paper on the handguards and stocks of their M16A1's and use various modifications to their slings to make them easier to carry at the ready. Then there was also the mags. They'd run paracord through the floorplates to achieve what we'd now call a 'mag pull' and put duct tape around the bottom 1/3 of the mags to keep them from rattling in the pouches. He still has a full set of those mags (his spare set for inspections) and we built a replica rifle for him a few years back.

Of course, being somebody that actually knew how to shoot, they also had him as the sniper for a time. Now at the time the job was simply called 'sniper', though modern types would prefer to call it designated marksman. Either way it was pre-Army sniper school, so they sent some people to learn from the Marines instead and come back to teach the rest. His rifle was one of the early M21s (scoped and accurized M14), based on what I can tell from his pictures. Early enough to still have a commercial Redfield ART scope that was painted over, rather than an actual contract one that was matte anodized. But the real amusing part was the improvised cheek piece. I kid you not, they duct taped a pack of 'sanitary napkins' to the stock to make a cheek piece. Apparently it worked very well, certainly better than the leather cheek piece he got for his 'functional repro' M21 (couldn't get the right scope, so we made do with a modern one that functions mostly the same as the ART I scope).

And finally, inspired by his desire to make repros of his rifles, I (having not actually been in the military) made my own version of what I'd do to make my idea of a customized service rifle. I did go with the M16A2 as the base partly because I grew up around M1s and M14s and had gotten used to that level of adjustability to the sights (as had the Marines that pushed for that sight), but opted for a chrome bolt carrier, because I've always found that (well done) chrome plating cleans the easiest of all of the coatings I've had experience with. I also used the taller, skinnier C7-style of handguard, never liked the full-sized, full-round M16A2 type, then camo dipped the funiture to emulate that vinyl contact paper that he used to use. All in all, it's been the best of the AR-15s we've built together, haven't had another one go together as easily and it's accurate and reliable, if a little old-fashioned and 80's looking (and yes, I do have a slightly more modern one to grab in case civilization breaks down, but I'd still consider that A2 perfectly useable).

Towards the end of the video you mentioned the Air Force M16 and some of the variants. When I was in Afghanistan in 2011-2012 I was issued an M16A2, but the first thing I noticed was that the lower was a completely different color and fairly worn. It was marked Colt AR-15 M16 and it had an "A2" electropenciled next to M16 and over by the selector switch it had "Safe", "Semi", and in the final position where it was blank "BURST" was electropenciled in. It was a partial fence lower and so I think it would have been the Colt 604, and when I did a serial number search the date of issue to the USAF would have been 1964/65 time frame.

I like to think I was ahead of the curve, even got into internet fights, about the 6.8SPC AND gas piston being superior. Using quick lean targets, like a 4x4 against a medium sized oak tree, I had Silver State Armory 6.8SPC 115gr OTMs go through the 4x4 and into the softer center of the tree and explode. It did not take many rounds, to our surprise, to see the tree fall over!

According to various sources from across the internet, Colt seemed to use whatever parts were available during production a run.

Even the large button forward assists had to be trimmed if it was installed on an A2 lower due to clearance with new reinforced buffer tower.

The ship I retired from, USS John C Stennis, had at least one M-16A3 that it issued to armed sentries that had an XM-16-A1 marked lower on it circa 2013. No fence around the magazine release, and the parkerizing was really old. The division I was in when I retired had two bodies who were working in Security, and one of them came by the office to chat while armed up, and he had the rifle. I had a mild freak out when I looked at it, because I knew what it was, but the other guy didn't care. Lower receivers don't really wear out, so I'm sure NSWC Crane rebuilt the receiver into the A3 configuration and sent it back out.

"You need to have different tools in your toolbox" - I'm glad Larry said this and that he said it specifically to Ian. I have a solid appreciation for what 5.56 can do and a substantial amount of respect for Ian and Karl, but I'm still not convinced by their "5.56 is all you need" mantra.
Being stuck with 5.56 in open terrain seems like a nightmare engagement. Having one general issue rifle in one caliber is something that a small nation with homogenous terrain and no foreign military missions could pull off and the US don't particularly fit any of those categories :D
EDIT: I would hate to misquote I&K and to be quite honest, most of the times they so vividly defended the 5.56 was when people asked them whether it should be directly replaced (and they're right, it absolutely shouldn't). Nonetheless they still often give the impression that it doesn't even need to be complemented by anything else (and IMO it does).

@jonlong2663

5y↑25

I love Ian and Carl's work, but they could simply ask any soldier in Afghanistan if 5.56 was fine for longer engagements before stating that.

@marshaul

5y↑54

The problem is that most guys don't have the options that operators get. Is the 5.56 the perfect round for every scenario? No, and Ian and Karl never argued that it is. But, for your typical GI, you've got to decide on one rifle/caliber and use that for everything. And many civilians rely on one rifle as well. All of the alternatives to 5.56 which you might prefer for longer range engagements come with enough drawbacks to render them inferior in other scenarios and thus a downgrade for general purpose use.

Also, I would suggest that 5.56 is plenty capable of scoring effective hits at ranges where I question whether the typical soldier who is complaining about his 5.56 would be, in reality, any more likely to score hits with another caliber. Sure, you can carry more energy farther with heavier rounds, but if you're not making hits with the 5.56 it's difficult to imagine that your marksmanship will suddenly improve by changing calibers. And if you are making hits, then it's moot. There's a reason for the DM role.

@CKshouta

5y↑14

Also 556 back then were not what it is now. M855A1 and other 70-77 gr modern 556 rounds are completely different beast. Older 556 are as Larry say 200m carbine rounds, but nowadays modern 556 rounds fragment out to 300 yards and beyond.

@edwardhall2359

5y↑22

Larry was a special operator who's team was often way out on their own. Under those circumstances being able to choose a larger round is absolutely an advantage. However the general infantry does not rely on their individual weapons in the same way. Even in Afghanistan a squad can have a 7.62 machine gun to reach out and touch someone. There was an obvious gap in these small units weapons capabilities so the army pulled m14 back into service. That being said, regular army units often have much more assets at hand and if an enemy engages you out of range of 5.56 kill them with something bigger and call it a day. That being said when the enemy gets in close and you have to get down and dirty or when you have to clear out an urban area the 5.56 is king. So ya for a standard issue individual weapon for the "big" army 5.56 is not only adequate it's superior.

Awesome video, I love how larry showed us the gun that delta carried. I find these rifles extremely fascinating.

I really appreciate your videos with Larry. I always learn a lot of really cool stuff from sort of a different vein than usual FW content. Great video, guys.

Having joined the infantry in '96, I remember the variation of just the types and models in the service weapons. The FNs always turned an odd purple color.

Love to hear his stories!
Also like the improvements and the improvisations... simple, clever and well made solutions!

It's great to see the combination of larger history combined with the thoughts of people who were actually living it every day. Thanks Ian and Larry.

Not so much with the CAR 15's at the time, but the SF guys I was attached to in 88 would pair an A1 lower (for the reasons Larry described) with an A2 upper for the better A2 sights and for the tighter rifling. Like Larry stated the A2 sights were a matter of personal preference. Loved this video, especially how he did the double mags.
