It spawned a few memes, mostly pointing out the obvious problem Ian also mentioned in the original video -- that you're ''not'' pulling that maneouver faster than the attacker can pull the trigger.[[/labelnote]]

** Comparisons to spider monkeys or other such animals are common in competition videos, as Ian is impressively agile. All the more so as he shoots left-handed and still manages to be quite handy with weapons that were definitely not made with ambidextrous ergonomics in mind.

not opposed to that incident being mentioned somewhere but that doesn't seem to be the right trope. CRT is about factual knowledge a high school student should know.

In February 2022, they announced their latest book, a memoir by a foreign volunteer who fought in Ukraine in 2014/15. The sales pitch was that it was a book about modern combat that wasn't in the Middle East. Various internet commenters promptly said "Isn't the author a known neo-Nazi who fought with a unit accused of war crimes?," and the project was abruptly cancelled. Cue the video "[[https://youtu.be/Ymu5S6zbIvc Ian's Long Day: A Conclusion]]", in which Ian says that it had not occurred to anyone at Headstamp to check the background of their new author.
