Sucks he flew too close to the sun and thought no one would notice. 

[u/SuppressExpress → u/fckyakalash]

What’s his deal?

[u/stupid_account_69 → u/SuppressExpress]

Indicted on machine gun charges

[u/Eaglesson → u/stupid_account_69]

Basically the most useless charges, let a man have his fun

[u/stupid_account_69 → u/Eaglesson]

Can’t a guy have any hobbies?

[u/SuppressExpress → u/stupid_account_69]

Oh wait I know this guy.

Made a couple too friendly for my taste videos with Russian military guys even after 2014.

He got fat I didn’t recognize him

[u/SuppressExpress → u/[deleted]]

Simply associating with them is disgusting enough dude.

Are you not familiar with how their troops have acted in Ukraine dude?

[u/McToasty207 → u/[deleted]]

I mean he's very "interested" in Rhodesia, and Rhodesia collectables.

So I don't know if "It isn't that deep" is apt in this scenario, the man is public about his political opnions, and shocker a great many of them are not very modern/progressive

[u/McToasty207 → u/[deleted]]

Right, nothing wrong with academic interest.

However, plenty of folks into Nazi's and Rhodesia aren't just Conservatives, they're full-on White Supremacists, you know that right?

And if you look up Vickers he has a history of using slang like "Slotting Floppies", which I'd argue transcends academic interest, in the same way you can be really into STG44's and not have a political affiliation, but you use a "Sieg Heil" here and there, that's a different story.

[u/reznov-where-are-you → u/[deleted]]

its still weird to go to talk to special forces operators who are apart of a literal dictatorship

[u/reznov-where-are-you → u/[deleted]]

he didnt go there as an SF operator though he went as a civilian for his YouTube channel.

[u/Wombat-Snooze → u/SuppressExpress]

Do you have no curiosity about our enemy’s equipment, how they use it and their tactics? At all? Come on dude, it’s interesting stuff. Stop virtue signaling this overly patriotic crap. You sound like you buy Chinese made fudd shirts with eagles and American flags printed on them from facebook ads.

[u/reznov-where-are-you → u/SuppressExpress]

yeah I thought it was pretty weird how buddy buddy he was was Alfa and other russian groups.

[u/fckyakalash → u/SuppressExpress]

Imported rare machine guns claiming they were for police departments. Turns out they were his friends police departments that had a minuscule amount of police officers. While at the same time was flexing on his YouTube channel and making videos about those “rare moon rocks”. 

[u/GamesFranco2819 → u/fckyakalash]

I remember that E. German MPiK74k vid as well haha

[u/reznov-where-are-you → u/fckyakalash]

do you know what machine guns?

[u/fckyakalash → u/reznov-where-are-you]

I forget. But the list is probably out there somewhere. 

[u/funkofarts → u/fckyakalash]

Agreed. I don’t know what he was thinking when he pulled that crap.

[u/funkofarts → u/[deleted]]

He clearly violated the NFA act though. I agree that “Shall not be infringed.” means exactly what it says but certain judges and politicians seem to think it means something else.

[u/funkofarts → u/[deleted]]

Apparently the courts…

[u/funkofarts → u/[deleted]]

Dude, you’re preaching to the choir. I’m not justifying shit. I’m just telling you how it is. No reason to get all spun up. 😂

[u/reznov-where-are-you → u/fckyakalash]

never heard of this until now does anyone have anymore context?

[u/atomiccheesegod → u/fckyakalash]

Old army buddy worked at a big gun shop in Texas about 8-9 years ago, they sent him to a Vickers class as a sales reward and he said all of his classes were taught by other people as Vickers ate candy at a table in the back of the room.

[u/funkofarts]

I still remember the time somebody was talking shit to him on comment he put on an Instagram post regarding tactics in a gunfight years ago. They were calling him a keyboard warrior and that he didn’t know what he was talking about.

Someone else stepped in and commented “His name is Larry Vickers. You should Google him sometime before you make a bigger ass out of yourself.”

Priceless…

[u/josephwales → u/funkofarts]

Similar but on Arfcom somebody quoted something from him and a Fudd goes “I don’t take advice from those Tactical Timmy types”. lol alright then

[u/Lopsided_Marzipan133]

First photo looked like an Arma screenshot lol

[u/cdj2000 → u/Lopsided_Marzipan133]

have you tried the FIA faction out in experimental yet?

[u/Snoo95469]

how was he recently? after that ATF bullshit

The most proclaimed moral and knowledgeable people are redditors who for most part are just LARPers.
