Powder Lyrics

I don't wanna wear red
I just wanna be a big rock star instead
I don't wanna be digging a ditch in the middle of hell
And get a bullet through my head

I don't wanna wear red
I don't wanna wear red

I lived and died in '64
A faceless soldier in the war

No I'm a woman not a man
But here I stand

I don't wanna wear red
I just wanna be a big rock star instead
I don't wanna be digging a ditch in the middle of hell
And get a bullet through my head

I don't wanna wear red
I don't wanna wear red

I wake up screamin' (screamin')
from past life dreamin' (dreamin')
Now what a senseless waste of time
Are we out of our minds?

I don't wanna wear red
I just wanna be a big rock star instead
I don't wanna be digging a ditch in the middle of hell
And get a bullet through my head

I don't wanna wear red
I don't wanna, I don't wanna wear red

I wake up screamin (screamin')
from past life dreaming (dreamin')
Now what a senseless waste of time
Are we out of our minds?

I don't wanna wear red
I just wanna be a big rock star instead
I don't wanna be digging a ditch in the middle of hell
And get a bullet through my head

I don't wanna wear red (repeat 4x)

Hey, hey

Daddy Garand is becoming like more and more like Lord Haley, all these fancy words like “Body Mechanics”, “Body Types”, “Accouterments”, “Training Issue”. Everyone already knows that the only way to get better at shooting is with proper body mechanics, attachments, and training. Like an m14 with a tactical shemagh on the barrel, while wearing high heels and the stock shouldered in your scrotum, Then run a 22422 drill at 80 yards. Or simply take all tips from VODA tactical. Sincerely, your favorite milsim operator

Recent sub here, Dad. Glad I found this channel (it opened up a bunch of other knowledge givers to me, like Greyhive, Lucas, etc.) and binged a ton of your vids. Hope to see many more in the future; stay cool.

Also, it's so weird in the comment section and yet so darn comfy. It's like the bricks with no field day, woot!

Awesome video, very informative! Question: Would raising up the iron sights (to match the optic riser), be a bad thing? Like you mentioned, having to adjust back down to 'low profile' viewing (for a long neck) would take some getting used to (especially with headset on). Plus having the flashlight mounted at a 45 degree angle, would block any view for 45 degree BUIS. So yeah, will moving the iron sights up 3/4" effect accuracy? Thanks in advance!

Adam Stallard

3y↑4

This setup with co-witnessed irons: I went without the magnifier, rear iron on the Larue riser, front iron on a Vortex riser from ADM. works like a charm. Could also put a flip up iron under the magnifier?

man i love your vids your very informative and helpful.Im totally green to all this even though i was in the military many years ago in the Navy i only had to qualify with a .22 and never touched a firarm again for over 30yrs and just got back into the hobby of shooting about 2yrs ago.I now am a bit of a prepper but not a nut about it,only for a just in case scenario.there is nothing wrong with being ready to bug out or in if the SHTF.I do have a place to bug out too if things got that bad to a friends hunting camp out in the North Eastern Mts.But i live in N.J. and if i dont bug out fast enough it would be very hard to even leave the state since our state is pretty much a huge island.So would have to hit the pine barrens in the middle of the most populated state per sqr, mile state.I guess my build up to my question is where would you suggest i take my family in a bug out situation if i cant get them out of our state of New Jersey? please feel free to e-mail me the area if you have the time to look our state over?If not np i know you gota be a busy man.Anyone else that sees this post can feel free to answer me here or on my e-mail as well?Thanks bro your awesome!!!

The pads might be setup that way so the guy knows damn sure he's not gonna have a light AD. Having both IR and visible on the same pad increases the probability of error.

As a former medic in the Army, I would like to thank you for not forgetting the most important part of the medic trilogy in that is changing your socks. Everyone always forgets that step and that's why I never got a break on road marches because grunts always forget to change their socks

Nothing like a Garand Thumb video on some cool stuff to start off a day. Calling mom for " chicken tendies " was classic!

Moon Devoured

Possibly silly question, hopefully someone sees it and can answer, would you ever run NO optic (just iron sights) in the field? I'd have guessed that maybe in super close quarters no optic would be best, less obtrusive. But some standard sights are obtrusive in nature themselves

joshua richards

Does shooting the weapon suppressed make the rifle more reliable? I'm curious about how it functions because normally you chop the barrel back and you start having problems with reliability with the 556.

iiTempesT48

Quick question, since it’s a BCM upper I’m assuming it doesn’t have an adjustable gas block. So my question is, what buffer weight are you running in the A5 system?

Lewis Jackson

I know this is a specialized comment.
BUT
If anyone has a XPS model, coupling with KDG universal mount produces an extremely similar result. It ends up being close to a .35" rise. Subtle, but i've tried this with a .5 and it sat far too high. Had a the kdg in my parts bin and it worked pretty well.

I use a RRA Dominator on mt main rifle, but I'd figure I'd pass this obscure info on.

Kirk Shipp

Garand, you know that pretty much everyone loves a 1v1 team based discussion. Keymod vs M-Lok fits this base need in caveman mentality. Neither one will make up for a lack of training or familiarity with your firearms. There are many AK 47 wielding peeps in the world that have neither system that can be considered lethal enough I'm sure. The real question is which color of crayon tastes better? I have the big 64 box and don't know where to start.

GotGolf18

You're making some of the best content on jewtube right now sir. Hilarious and informative

Chauncey Chappelle

I think a reason for having two separate pressure pads is avoiding a negligent discharge, maybe, of something you did not intend. Muscle memory will force your hand to change minimizing it. I think that is one of those get somewhere fast, get in there fast, do what you came to do fast, and leave fast before anyone realizes what happened; change the upper if something else is needed. One purpose, Bro. That is a weapon.

Rudy Soto

I’d be so deep in a review of that trigger. I’m thinking about getting it for my upcoming build.

Pete Sheppard

How much does that set-up weigh? What may not seem like much now, becomes a lot over time.
Also (Marine here), when I see those chest rigs, I can't help but wonder how well they do during low crawls. Do you have a way to rearrange gear if that looks likely?

Michael Churgin

Your videos and editing are amazing 👏 great content brother, much love from the D.M.V area!!! Happy holidays!!!

Bravo4Solutions

Have you had any issues with maintaining zero with the eotech? And have you done any shock testing with it?

Sheamus

To mitigate the cheek weld issue have you thought about the LaRue Tactical reciprocating in line riser? It would work well with your set up if cheek weld is a concern. It would require a different stock, the Magpul CTR for example. This would only be useful for a SBR of course and could not be used on a AR pistol.

Right on the suit comment. I can't tell you how many people I see in a professional situation with a black suit...they don't get that those are for weddings and funerals. That's why I have a navy suit. Of course light greys are good for variety and one in purple for all the pimping.

A great review and option using the EoTech. If you're running a T1/2, check out the RB1/KAC high rise mount.

MrBuck6566

I like the approach of the set-up and the video...With the acceptation to one thing. The flippant mention to the taking of a life and rating people on how many people they have killed. Killing is not something that anyone should think is fun or glamorous. I train so that others may live. There always going to be tyranny in this world that must be dealt with but it is not a joking matter.

Talked a lot about the riser and head position versus cheek weld. Did you happen to try it out with a cheek riser? offhand it sounds like an option that'd retain the good head position the Larue riser provided while helping some with the chin on stock issue you mentioned
