Manufacturer Spotlight

Inland Manufacturing

 

      An important note to take into consideration before reading this article is that the current “Inland Manufacturing” based out of Ohio is not the same Inland Manufacturing (division of General Motors) that was active during WW2. Just like how Springfield Armory isn’t the same as Springfield Armory. Now that we have that in mind, its also important to note that the original Inland Manufacturing was also based out of Ohio, and this preamble was a total waste of your time.

 

         The current Inland Mfg was founded in 2013, based out of Dayton. The original Inland Division of General Motors was also based out of Dayton, in the same facility that produced the Wright Brothers airplane. During WW2 Inland received a contract to produce M1 carbines. They ended up producing over two and a half million of them, including ALL of the M1A1 carbines ever made. After this, the Inland name was bought, and they began producing reproduction M1 carbines of mediocre quality. They were based out of the same original Inland facility for a period of time before most of it was demolished.

Dolan John Bumf Sworn In as Muskrat Heils Fucking Hitler

Daily presidential inaugurations  

Dolan Bumf and his running mate, J.D. “Just Dance” Vance were inaugurated as president and vice president. Director of the new Department of Government Incompetence, Elongated Muskrat, heiled fucking Hitler during a speech at the event.

Did he do this as a pledge to his new fascist overlord? Or did he do this as a sperg out due to his semi-diagnosed autism. Only time will tell, Death squads may be marching on KNWGM headquarters as we speak.

Believe it or not this is actually a matter of some debate. Do bear in mind however that those who disagree with me are wrong.

The First Assault Rifle

Was Not the AR-15

Assault rifle as a definition is as follows:

It must be capable of selective fire.

It must have an intermediate-power cartridge.

Its ammunition must be supplied from a detachable box magazine.

It must have an effective range of at least 300 meters (330 yards).

Now what was the first weapon to meet this definition? The first that everyone can agree on is the STG-44. This rifle dates to 1943.  It was select fire, used the 8x33mm cartridge producing 1,400 ft/lb of energy, supplied by 30 round box magazines, with an effective range of 600m. But what rifles came before this that could lay claim to its title? The M1 carbine was first fielded in mid-1942 by U.S. forces, utilizing semi-automatic fire although originally intended as a select-fire weapon. It fired the .30 carbine cartridge which produced 960 ft/lb of energy (roughly equivalent to a .44 Magnum revolver), from 15 round box magazines, effective out to “200-300m”. The M1 carbine obviously does not hit all of the notes of an assault rifle. But it does come very close, and if you picked up an M1 carbine and tried to use it the way one might use an assault rifle I don’t think you would be in bad shape.

The M1 carbine was later converted to select fire, and provided with 30 round magazines to become the M2 carbine, this was after the issue of the STG-44 so it obviously doesn’t get to qualify for first assault rifle, but it may qualify as an assault rifle. The primary contender for “First assault rifle” before this point was the famous Fedorov Avtomat. Yes that is the same Avtomat as is used to describe the AK-47. The Fedorov Avtomat was designed in 1915, way before any other contender. However, the Fedorov Avtomat comes into serious question as an assault rifle when you consider a few things. It did have a select fire capability, but was it chambered in an intermediate cartridge? 6.5x55mm Semi-Rimmed. Made for the Type 30 (later Type 38) Arisaka rifle. This was the primary service cartridge of the Japanese military between 1897 and 1939. Used in everything from bolt action rifles to light machine guns. Producing nearly 2,000 ft/lb of energy. The argument being that this is enough less than the 2,400-2,800 of other common cartridges to count as an intermediate cartridge. This is ignoring the 6.5mm Carcano which produced a similar amount of energy, or the 6.5x55mm Swedish which produced just over 2,000 ft/lb as well.

So it doesn’t really fire an intermediate cartridge. It also doesn’t really fire from a detachable box magazine. The box magazine in the rifle is literally detachable, however, it was only issued with 3 25 round magazines at a time, meant to be reloaded with stripper clips and an assistant. Effective range was greater than 300 meters as it was firing a full power cartridge. The Fedorov was never meant to actually act as an assault rifle as we understand it, fulfilling a role more similar to the Chauchat or BAR. Shoulder fired automatic firepower, but not an assault rifle.

Lets Ask the Audience

So I (me) walk into the bathroom at work and there is not a soul at the urinals. I have to piss. I walk to the urinal at the end of the room because it is the best locationally speaking (it's always hairy :^/). I keep going and encounter this unbearable aura of stink. Someone was laying coils in the pot. To avoid this, I use the second to last urinal. As I am spooling up my pee, a man walks in. He waltzes to the urinal right next to mine. Right past the shorter urinal. The guy broke the rst rule of being a man. Bruh!? So, audience, who is on the wrong side of history? Me for not bearing the stink or him for breaking the rulez?

Let’s Break it Down

 

Anyway this was pretty much the extent of all development in the field for a long time until home 3d printers got better and got cheaper and became more widely adopted. More designs popped up but nothing too fundamentally different. The problem was still that no one could figure out how to get a gun entirely made of plastic to not explode when shooting anything punchier than 22. Believe it or not, someone rubbed two neurons together one day and realized what 12th century bugmen had already figured out which is that you are allowed to make guns out of metal. So now we had guns that used steel pipe or maybe even barrel liners and everything else was plastic. The guns were much more durable and could be used perhaps a dozen times now before shattering into shards of eye-bound plastic. By this point, there were enough autists who didn’t fall into the glue-trap that is feminization (read: “trooning out”), that actually talented individuals started designing firearms that could be primarily 3d printed and actually work. Early designs used glock magazines as it would be a long time before anyone figured out how to make durable, or even functional, 3d printed magazines. A couple designs arose which really outperformed their contemporaries and used these glock magazines as well as AR-15 fire control groups, or optionally an airsoft fcg. Barrels were steel pipe, but some of the aforementioned autists came up with a method to do the rifling at home too using car batteries, drain-cleaner, and house wiring. These new weapons could go for hundreds of rounds before falling apart spectacularly. Believe it or don’t, while this “industry” was progressing over the years, the mainstream 3d printing industry was also progressing. New materials and better techniques were developed. Carbon-fibre nylon and glass-impregnated plastics began to see use at home, albeit at a deserved premium. Even the older materials saw improvements. Combined with better equipment and the new techniques for printing, guns slowly stopped exploding into gonad-seeking shrapnel. Now, for just the price of a gun, you could make a gun! And it would shoot bullets! Real bullets (lol 9mm) and not 22 which is only lethal if you factor in the heavy metal poisoning. Progress stagnated at this point for a number of years, with people more or less content with the options available. Occasionally you’d get someone designing a lower receiver for an existing handgun like a glock or something, but that’s about it. Or it *was*, until a certain turbotist turned up.

This dude was *good*. Up until now, the holy grail of 3d printed firearms was, obviously, a fully 3d printed AR-15. The closest that existed up to now were a few really bad lowers that did not work basically at all. This guy pops up and drops a really good AR lower. Really good as in it just works. Then he releases a new model and it’s even better. And again. Then he releases an upper. Then a complete AR-15 system. The barrel and fcg were still metal but by now that’s been shown to be the obvious right answer and the advent of at-home rifling was obtainable. Or you could just buy a real gun barrel if you lived in the only country that matters. So this guy has released an AR-15 setup you can print at home that lasts thousands of rounds before you notice the wear. If you run it really hot and fast maybe you get a little sagging but it’s not as bad as you’d think. What does the future hold? The final frontier is ammunition. I suppose we weol see.

Guns are cool but it sucks that you have to get background checks and get (((registered))) and upload photographs of your genitals before you are allowed to shoot someone. Well unfortunately I’m not the first person to say this so now there’s a “history” and I guess that makes me a historian (what are we, some kinda suicide squad?) by default. “What are you talking about?”  I hear you asking. I’ll tell you… It’s the KNWGM News 3D2A article!!! For the one retard who is going to dm me later “erm what the fortnite is 3D2A supposed to mean?!”, it stands for 3Days2Arrive. This is a far left insurgency group location primarily on the west coast region of southern California. That’s not true but it makes you think… 3D2A. Let’s break it down. First you got your 3D. Well from what I can tell this seems to be an abbreviated format for Three-Dimensional. Specifically, it seems to be referencing Three-Dimensional Printing, more commonly known as Fused Filament Fabrication (Yes I know about resin, etc). The 2A part was really tricky. I just couldn’t decipher this last part until I was driving one day and saw a bumper sticker that pieced everything together for me. It was along the lines of “This Vehicle Is Protected By The 2nd Amendment” with some sort of firearm silhouette followed by a bold “2A”. Now it all makes sense. 3D2A = bumper stickers. Now that I’ve filtered 90% of the readers and the creme has risen to the top as they say, let’s actually go over 3d printed guns. 3D printers were getting smaller, more accurate, and cheaper. For the first time you could buy a kit and put together your own plastic-drooling CNC machine on a wagie’s salary. They weren’t great but they were there and that’s a whole different world. Well someone got the idea one day that they could maybe make a gun out of plastic. Normally that’d be really difficult for just one goober because you’d have to do injection molding or something and that costs many thousands of dollars to produce molds, etc. It just so happens that this particular goober had one of those new 3D printers and realized he could put together the parts for like $5 using this new technology. He actually does so, shattering the ego of the “nothing ever happens” crowd (see above), and manages to produce an firearm. It is a single shot 22 or something and it’ll sometimes explode when you shoot it. But the important thing is that he didn’t ask anyone for permission, or something.

SHOT Show 2025

 

Waste not want not. Kel-Tec introduced a new 5.7 caliber pistol, with a fixed internal 20 round magazine, fed exclusively through stripper clips inserted into the top of the pistol. It is made for the concealed carry market and is supposed to be the lightest and most compact 5.7 pistol on the market. Will anyone buy this? Hopefully not, but who knows. Arsenal Firearms introduced a free floated and otherwise “Modernized” AK, which costs over $3,000. Brownells introduced the BRN-180 Gen 3, which removed all of the things that people wanted in a BRN-180, and increased the cost by 50%. Primary Arms, a company known for their budget conscious optics introduced a new MADE IN AMERICA pistol red dot which is MADE IN AMERICA and says MADE IN AMERICA on it and costs $700. A&K introduced a kit to turn a BRN-180 upper into an L85A2 lookalike which also forces you to mount your sight on the handguard. KRISS, the company famous for the Vector SMG and KARD pistol (never came out) introduced a CZ75 clone. Century Arms, famous for headspacing their roller-delayed rifles using a grinder, is introducing HK-53 and 51 clones produced in Turkey. That about wraps up the “too stupid for anyone to buy” category, now we can move on to the “Will never actually come out” category, first of which is a domestically produced SVD Dragunov clone which will be out by “Q3 or Q4 2025”. To see my take on that figure, please refer to the article on the PSA/HMG STG-44. Next is the PSA “Vuk” not to be confused with the Zastava silencer of the exact same name. This is PSA’s attempt at a “Modernized AK” similar to an AK-12. This will also never come out. BSD Fabworks, another company nobody has ever heard of is producing a VSS Vintorez clone in .300 blackout. The gun will cost $6,500 and have a non-refundable deposit of $3,500 as a preorder. Federal introduced a new hunting cartridge, 7mm Backcountry. Gearhead Gunsmith, yet another no-name manufacturer is remaking the Nambu Type 100 submachine gun.

Now we have the “derivative and uninteresting” category. Aimpoint and Glock, the two least innovative companies in the world have collaborated on a new pistol optics cut and a new optic to go with it. The Aimpoint COA optic on the Glock A-cut pistols. Next up is Smith and Wesson who are introducing the same pistols they have been making for 100 years. Springfield has a new version of its Echelon pistol. Trijicon introduced some new versions of its old scopes. Leupold introduced a Gen2 version of its VX-6HD scopes. H&R is marketing a DSA FAL under its own brand. P7Pro is making reproduction HK P7 parts, enough of them to build your own P7 from scratch, for a whole lot of money. Franklin Armory is making binary triggers for more guns now. Magpul introduced the TMAG-20, a 20 round TMAG. CZ has the BREN 3, as opposed to the BREN 2 that already nobody bought. Strike Industries, famous for designing parts from the outside in, has some FN P90 chassis out that make it look even more gay and retarded. Finally we have products with genuine merit that aren't just the same thing that is on the market. Daewoo of South Korea will be introducing the K2 assault rifle back onto the U.S. market both in an original 1980s style and in a more modernized variety used by the South Koreans today. IntlMilCo has a reproduction HEL E4A Vietnam era silencer. And that pretty much wraps it up for SHOT Show 2025, every product on the market is either gay and stupid or will never come out thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I am a high-rolling playboy philanthropist (I donated $50 to the local bowling team) with tons of money (I have a job) and as such I am trying to get the last innity stone (PC component) for my innity gauntlet (him PC). I was going to buy a RTX 5090 to supplement my baller set-up. Well the time came and there was too much demand. I could not get to it before all the no-lifes with buy-bots got a warehouse of Bitcoin miners’ worth. That is the rst thing that pissed me o. I thought that this was possible but it's just not fun that it happened and that restocks are anywhere from 3-16 weeks out.

The second and more annoying thing is the people online are thinking they are valiant by making listings for 5090’s that are for tricking bots. They all say “read description” and it says that you will not receive a graphics card and will only receive a printed photograph of the card and no refunds are available. Like, man, you are clogging this shit up. You are just rubbing your stupid poop all over the bathroom wall that is the internet. The gay little font that they use is some Unicode shit that infuriates me more than anything.

It’s so fucking stupid and I hate it
 
This guy as gay as he is pisses me o less than stupid anti-scammers sucking o their own microdiphalic penises by laying down their life to just add to the clutter already surrounding this card.
