British Ration Week Episode 7: Black Markets and Luxuries
One would expect a strict rationing program like the British instituted to create a massive black market - as indeed happened in France and Germany at the same time. Remarkably, this did not happen. There were of course violations of the rationing and people who either cheated or exploited the system, but no organized substantial black market ever developed. This can be seen as a credit to the British population's sincere willingness to sacrifice for the war effort, but it is also deeply rooted in the several key decisions and successes by Lord Woolton and his Ministry.
The rationing was enforced across class lines (even the King and Queen legitimately participated), and being seen as truly egalitarian reinforced public willingness to obey the rules. In addition, the Ministry of Food was able to successfully ensure that the rations promised were always available. One did not have to rush to get a share of a shipment of bacon or eggs or sugar - there was always enough to meet the needs of the ration, and the significance of this cannot be underestimated.
Day 7 Menu:
Breakfast: Skillet Biscuits with cheese, tea
Lunch: Fried Vegetable Fritters with leftover gray
Tea: Tea, leftover skillet biscuits
Dinner: Pheasant, sweet potatoes

BRITI
british-ration-week-episode-2-food-for
What does a week's worth of food for two people in World War Two London look like? We bought the whole week's groceries and we will explain what the rations entailed and what we have to work with (this episode was actually filmed the day before the experiment began).
Of course, the typical British family during the war did not have a refrigerator, and the wife would have been shopping for groceries on a daily basis.
Day 2 Menu:
Breakfast: Whole Grain Pancakes, tea
Lunch: Split Pea Soup, bread
Tea: Pumpkin Spice Cookies, tea
Dinner: Spam, Vegetable Mash, ale

TESTI
testing-glock-barrels-zero-shift-and
The rest of the barrels tested in this video were different generation Glock OEM.
I recently acquired a brand new Faxon "match grade" Glock 19 barrel, and in the process of swapping it out, I was curious: how much of a zero shift would I see now that I have a red dot enhanced pistol?
The practical accuracy capabilities of a red dot enhanced pistol are much improved over standard sights.
How much does zero shift if you change barrels?
Which barrel(s) provide the best groups?
To perform this test, I used a ransom rest and did not move the frame throughout the process, swapped out barrels, and fired 5 round groups out of each barrel without changing the point of aim.

Seismic Ammunition has developed some ammunition for 9mm, 45ACP and 12ga which brings much more mass to the target with very little change in recoil impulse when compared to standard loads.
We discuss and try out some 185 grain 9mm subsonic rounds in this video.

@JamesReeves torture tested this Mossberg Mav88, then sent it to us here at InRange to mud test..and now we're turning it into a cursed but also sacred relic by min-maxing it with an @VangComp job and other modifications (more to come on that).
We used it before and after @VangComp's work to show the change in performance, which is absolutely a real thing. It's amazing what a Mav88 can be with such modifications!
