Who is this Lunatic?

[Wolfhunter]

So I was watching videos on Pakistan Security Analysis and came across a man called Zahid Hamid on youtube, watched his videos some insight but most of saber rattling and conspiracy theories. Then I saw this video:

Please look at the video carefully at 05:47 he says "with this kind of fire power, you don't have to aim".... .

He is a hazard to himself and others. He has other videos of him in Military Fatigues and with a fully automatic rifle. Is he ex army?

 

[Hamza913]

Well known tin-foil hat wearing pseudo-political analyst. He's relatively harmless, just a little unhinged.

I don't think he's ex army, but his father is.

 

[Reichsmarschall]

he is the greatest man who ever walked on this earth

Thank you, I am going to google some more about him. I have lately been writing about socio-economic factors and the causal link between terrorism in Pakistan for my course, hence watching a LOT of youtube content on Pakistan and Pakistani politics.

Can you recommend any good analysts or books/journals to read please?

Hahah, thanks for the warning. I am going to read more about him to better understand the kind of influencers that exist in Pakistan. So far I have gathered that there are three major schools of thought, two of which are in a constant state of flux with the third being possibly the only stable party often acting as a pivot. I speak of course of the Islamic Hardliners, the Military and the Liberal crowd.

Interestingly my reading so far has concluded than many of the hawks and nationalist types have very strong links with hard line Islamic movements, although there is little or no correlation between those who support nationalist movements to necessarily have links with any extremist outfit like the LEJ or TTP.

What is worrying is that lack or diminishing segment of the vocal liberal in Pakistani society, my interaction with Pakistani Diaspora here in the U.K has been a mixture of intellectual, professional and those highly critical of the military.

I would like to speak to those from each end of the spectrum so I can better understand what is the primary driver for societal conflict in Pakistan (discounting politics and economic issues).

Hi!
Well while there is HUGE lot wrong with this person, the point you mentioned was not that wrong. He is talking about a shot gun, what he meant to say that even if you do not hit the bull's eye with this, the grain of dust round would inflict enough damage to the aggressor and thus this is a good weapon of choice in urban warfare. Even if you do not take much time to aim, the spreading effect of the shot will get you a good offensive force. Simple.

We can have a discussion if you like, I fall under "Islamic hardliner" (although I don't personally like the term).

Alas it depends what shell you are using, are you using a Slug, LG or SG, what is the load, what gauge and choke is used on the shot gun, the range between you and the target. I do a lot of trap and skeet shooting and know from experience that shotguns are pretty much useless beyond 40 yards, unless you use a slug round.

Whilst you may think it is simple, he is giving a lecture of weapon handling. The first rule of tactical weapon handling is LMFT: Load, Muzzle, Finger, Target. If you aren't aiming, than you aren't shooting safe. Simple really!
