Small Lady's Brother?

Been trying to decide if it's a troll, glowy, ai bot, or the more traditional parasocial disorder...

Initially the first two are the most likely with the third being plausible to pimp aliexpress optics. However, this last week I was in my local ffl picking up an order stuck listening to some of the guys hanging out. Shooting into space and lofty thoughts on loading and components would have been mild to the stupid flowing out. Occurred to me, there really are folks who believe their own bad ideas and spread them to innocent bystanders.

As not real as some come across.... there is a pudgy 50 year old sitting in gunshops all around this nation who were snipers in nam and who load fmjs backwards cause "its better than a partition that way".
 
Actually using the factory powder a tad light doesn't seem unreasonable if you buy one of those 1000 round tins like he shows. New tin? Work up a the load again. There are very few things in the galaxy more reliable than the old Kalishnikov AK's, heat, snow, ice, mud you name it, the rifle design and case taper both contribute. Watch any youtube test and you will see.
AR's with the direct gas impingement system foul pretty quickly. His new rifle might suffer the same reliability issue unless it is piston driven, not familiar with it. Two stage trigger though, might be the 'troll' giveaway.
AK's are definitely hard to kill, we came up with one that was a massive rust bucket, I started breaking it down and had to use a 3lb sledgehammer to drive the bolt back and free the piston. When I finally got it totally tore apart I used a cleaning rod with a steel brush attached to a drill and went to town soaking it in clp in every part.
When I was done I reassembled, loaded it, it functioned correctly, even full auto 😂

They are most reliable, but not a 1/2 moa rifles

Yeah I get around despite my weight and age.
Ever notice though how pretty much every expert on youtube is an 'ex-navy seal' or 'green beret'?
Buddy of mine at work was an actual ex-navy seal. Walked with a bit of a hitch. I never even knew it until somebody told me the story after a few years there. He was in a helo that lost engine power. The drill is to spin up the blades whilst falling, then at the last moment pull back on the collecive to land nice and easy. Well the pilot or aviator or whatever panicked and pulled back about 80' above the water, coming to a dead stop and then dropped the 80' into the Pacific. What happens next is that a helo immediately flips upside down and things go completely dark as it sinks like a stone. Anyway, my buddy broke his back in three places but still managed to claw his way back to the surface.

Why give a 1/2 moa rifle to your typical insurgent who lifts it overhead from a trench and fires a burst more or less towards where shots can be heard?

That wasn't the point.
