Why The Daniel Defense MK12 is a Rifle I Don't Deserve

Why The Daniel Defense MK12 is a Rifle I Don't Deserve

Daniel Defense MK12
https://bit.ly/3h1WcNj

In 1999 the US Military wanted a Rifle that could shoot as fast as an M4 or M16 but had the M24 bolt action rifle’s long-range capability while being lightweight and maneuverable.

In Short, they wanted the Jesus rifle. Instead, what they got was the MK12.

I love the way this rifle feels and handles. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be “EASY” everything feels easy on this rifle.

Where I truly fall in love with this rifle is in how it shoots. Good lord, I love the way this rifle shoots because it’s so easy to shoot. Like the “True Mk12,” the Daniel Defense MK 12 has a Rifle length direct impingement gas system which, to be honest, will make most rifles a soft shooting rifle, and this Mk12 is no exception.

I can shoot this rifle all day and not fatigue. But it’s more than just how soft it shoots.

It also comes with the Geissele SSA 2-Stage trigger, which is freaking phenomenal because it’s just as good at shooting fast as it is shooting slow and accurately.

It’s a two-stage trigger with a single-stage personality.

When I want to go fast, it lets me go fast. When I want to go slow, it allows me to go slow, and I love it. However, what I don’t love very much is the charging handle. I can live without this charging handle. It’s not bad; I don’t prefer it. I like a charging handle with a bigger profile and wings that are ambidextrous.

My Daniel Defense Mk12 Is not a rifle I show off when I have friends come over. It’s a rifle I appreciate the most when it’s just me and the rifle out on the range or a piece of property.

I shoot this rifle way more than I did before, and the more I shoot it, the more I love it.

However, It usually doesn’t hit me how much I love this rifle until I’m finished shooting and I’m packing up for the day.

I’ll look over and see it lying there, and I’ll think, man, I really love that rifle, and then another voice will say, “Yeah, you like it now, but you neglected it at first, so you don’t deserve it.”

    5:25 – 5:40 every girl be like when you hit on her and she rejects your advancements but then comes back to you a couple years later.

    How does the MK12 compare to the V7 Pro?



  3. David Wolf on December 3, 2021 at 6:56 pm

    I understand. Bought one and never fired it because I had other DD rifles. Turned around and donated it to my local Police Dept. Took a lot of heat from my friends but I pointed out to them that it may save our lives or a family members life some day.



  4. JD Keith on December 3, 2021 at 6:57 pm

    Living the dream😩



  5. Cyborg2101 on December 3, 2021 at 6:59 pm

    Does anyone else have a problem with audio when he’s talking about the trigger?



  6. Christian Ceja on December 3, 2021 at 6:59 pm

    this dude bought the gun version of already ripped jeans…



  7. To the Face on December 3, 2021 at 7:00 pm

    It’s the moped of ar 15



  8. ABC XYZ on December 3, 2021 at 7:01 pm

    I think it’s because you shilled for NRA and took money that DIDNT go to fighting for gun rights. Instead the CEO ran with the money



  9. Tom Morgan on December 3, 2021 at 7:04 pm

    I need one of these in my life



  10. Dee Spasojevic on December 3, 2021 at 7:04 pm

  11. Nick Walters on December 3, 2021 at 7:04 pm

    The voices might be schizophrenia 😂



  12. Amenilum on December 3, 2021 at 7:07 pm

    this guy is the whitest african-american i’ve ever seen



  13. Ethan H on December 3, 2021 at 7:09 pm

    And an extra comment, DDs customer rep sucks ass, total dbag. Cancelled my order due to that, and overhyped ads. Companies headed for the tank, mark my words on that.



  14. Harry Paul Garcia on December 3, 2021 at 7:09 pm

    One of the few videos that I want to watch, multiple times!



  15. Frank Moses on December 3, 2021 at 7:09 pm

    The 930 is my favorite car, funny. I have a MK12, another favorite.



  16. Bodie Satva on December 3, 2021 at 7:10 pm

    The Jesus Rifle = HK17?



  17. JR Reeves on December 3, 2021 at 7:11 pm

    You mean it has a hipster fitness.



  18. Tac Pro UA on December 3, 2021 at 7:11 pm

    nice gun!



  19. Roger Brenon on December 3, 2021 at 7:13 pm

    Those lockers right at the end, where’d you get em? Gotta get me some.



  20. Ethan H on December 3, 2021 at 7:16 pm

    All the grip you need? Ok bro, your digits down to the bone by now? Ran DD for years, that rail is a fuckin cheese grater



  21. Guns and Gaming on December 3, 2021 at 7:19 pm

    Can’t wait for my ddm4v7



  22. Drigo P. on December 3, 2021 at 7:19 pm

    I agree, Peter needs to shut up lmao



  23. Brian Wood on December 3, 2021 at 7:20 pm

    I really like this gun but I feel like I can get 6 more Mark power in a Mk18



  24. Slaymaker on December 3, 2021 at 7:20 pm

    gotta love them oiled up forearms lmfao.



  25. Green tip on December 3, 2021 at 7:22 pm

    TOTALLY agree with any mark that the rifle/carbine/whatever receives AFTER a (decent) “paint job”..just ADDS PERSONALITY AND CHARACTER. That being said, there are a couple rifles I WON’T paint in the ‘collection’



  26. Goonies Gear LLC on December 3, 2021 at 7:25 pm

    Couldn’t agree more. You having this rifle makes me shutter.



  27. Samuel T on December 3, 2021 at 7:27 pm

    I always did wonder what your hair looked like.



  28. Steven on December 3, 2021 at 7:28 pm

    4:07 am i having a stroke????



  29. Marcsman07 on December 3, 2021 at 7:28 pm

    What safe is that @ 0:30?



  30. Los Angeleno on December 3, 2021 at 7:28 pm

    PRI gasbuster



  31. will cruz on December 3, 2021 at 7:31 pm

    Great review. I’ve been fondling this gun at gun shows for about 5 years now. I struggle with the price as I can build a similar gun for half the price but I think I might finally pull the trigger on one.



  32. Serious Business on December 3, 2021 at 7:31 pm

    I need the beat no bs



  33. Strelnikov on December 3, 2021 at 7:32 pm

    7.43 lbs?!? My MK12 MOD1 is 11lbs without the suppressor….



  34. j_ker on December 3, 2021 at 7:35 pm

    Fuck it. You’ve convinced me to buy an AR-15. I typically stick to pistols because of practicality but you and my firearm instructor has convinced me to get ONE AR-15 due to current restrictive political and rising criminal problems. Being in the West Coast, I need to prepare to be a roof Korean.



  35. Dion Ali-Elmore on December 3, 2021 at 7:36 pm

    Got the trap in the sun instrumental in the back 🔥🔥



  36. NastyPaul on December 3, 2021 at 7:37 pm

    Best gun in PUBG.



  37. John Green on December 3, 2021 at 7:37 pm

    Excellent video.. Informative and well thought out.



  38. matthew espina on December 3, 2021 at 7:38 pm

    I can’t stop watching this video. That rifle is dope!



  39. Kiln Firelink on December 3, 2021 at 7:38 pm

    The only guns dude needs is those arms, holy shit that Ar looks tiny in this guys hands



  40. Michael G Roux on December 3, 2021 at 7:39 pm

    a rifle is really easy to shoot and show off your skills with when you dont have bunch of gear on



  41. VelazquezArt on December 3, 2021 at 7:40 pm

    This man makes passionate and rough love to this rifle lol I’m buying one of these rifles.



  42. Andrew McGaha on December 3, 2021 at 7:44 pm

    Imagine how much you would like an actual MK12…



  43. Cody Nelson on December 3, 2021 at 7:46 pm

    Love the trapped in the sun Future instrumental in the backgroug



  44. Nicholas Potter on December 3, 2021 at 7:46 pm

    I’ve never not had some mk12 configuration. So glad.



  45. wafflebunny123 on December 3, 2021 at 7:46 pm

    Who makes the safe shown in the video?



  46. Bnut Rio on December 3, 2021 at 7:48 pm

    What’s your go to out of the Daniel Defense Mk12 and Scar16?



  47. topturretgunner on December 3, 2021 at 7:49 pm

    Colion. Man I envy you. That is a very good rifle. Thanks for this good video. Take care and be safe.



  48. Sthebo 1 on December 3, 2021 at 7:50 pm

    Colion using the beat to "Trapped in the Sun" by Future is something else



  49. Ceasze on December 3, 2021 at 7:50 pm

    take a shot every time he says MK12



  50. Statutory Ape on December 3, 2021 at 7:50 pm

    Daniel defense is anti 2a. I will never buy one of these overpriced pieces of scrap metal.
