This video discusses the unusual presence of commercial military-pattern rifles in Germany in late 1944.

This video argues that Glock has betrayed the American commercial market by restricting sales of combat-rated handguns, citing the COA/Aimpoint Glock combo and the discontinuation of Generations 3-5 double-stack models.

The video criticizes fanboy defenses as 'copium' and encourages consumers to support companies that stand by their market.
