Recently a post was made on The Firearms Blog called "7 Reasons I Don't Like The MP-44": http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/11/12/7-reasons-i-am-not-impressed-with-the-sturmgewehr/ And while opinions are certainly as unique as the individual formulating them, there were a number of statements in this article that we both took difference to. So, while we didn't agree with the article, it did spur an interesting conversation about why we didn't agree and this is our InRangeTV video response.

Enjoy what you see on InRange TV? Please consider supporting us on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/InRangeTV Today we had the opportunity to speak with L. James "Jim" Sullivan, one of the original designers of the AR-15 rifle. He started working as a draftsman for Eugene Stoner at Armalite, and wound up being largely responsible for converting the AR-10 down to .223 caliber. His later work would include the Ultimax LMG, Ruger Mini-14, and many other firearms. Recently, Jim has gone back to the AR-15, designing 60- and 100-round quad-stack magazines for Surefire. He has also designed a number of modifications to the rifle to improve its controllability and ability to handle a continuous high rate of fire. The modifications include: Heavier bolt carrier Anti-bounce floating weight in the carrier Heavier, radiated gas tube Adjustable gas port Open-bolt full auto FCG (closed-bolt when in semiauto) Hopefully these modifications will be brought to market by Surefire, but if not they will become available to any other manufacturer interested in licensing them from Mr. Sullivan. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOUKXIrDE0I

*** Comments have been disabled as the call for rational discussion in the video was naive. It's not worth the trouble. We hope you enjoyed the video regardless. *** Miracle Valley, Arizona is a mere 8 miles north of the Mexican border, wedged on highway 92 between Sierra Vista and Tombstone. In 1959, a traveling tent revivalist preacher named A.A. Allen was gifted ranch land and he based his ministry there as his HQ, reaching out through via radio, travel and eventually TV to spread the word of his ability to heal and, uhm...resurrect the dead. One of his followers moved her Chicago based pentecostal cult like church to this same location in 1978 after A.A. Allen's likely alcohol related death in 1970. Four years later, after an accidental bomb explosion, multiple riots, one shootout and at least four deaths later, this cult mostly moved back to Chicago... This is that story. Want to know more?
