We’re back again at another Brutality match but this time, in the far away country of Finland. Although the Finnish and American Brutality matches share the same origins, I personally believe that Finnish Brutality is much more difficult from the standpoint of pure physicality – which makes it way more fun. For this episode, I’ve brought on Ivan Loomis (aka Kit Badger) to talk about the match with me as we both not only were invited to the event by the good folks from Varusteleka, but we were also both fortunate to be in the same squad with one another and therefore had a chance to see one another perform on each stage and generally enjoy the match together. If you’re interested in absolutely brutal two-gun matches or just like hearing about the gun law and gun culture from other nations, you’ll have a great time listening to us chat as we have a nice casual stroll through downtown Helsinki.

TFB Behind The Gun Podcast #81: Finnish Brutality 2023 Recap with Kit Badger

In today’s episode of TFB’s Behind The Gun Podcast we’ve brought back Ivan Loomis of TFBTV (aka Kit Badger) to talk about some Finnish gun laws, gun culture, and our experienes throughout the amazing Finnish Brutality 2023 event. Ivan and I were invited out to Finnish Brutality 2023 by Varusteleka, a Finnish military surplus store that now has their own complete line of outdoor gear and clothing as well as tactical gear like plate carriers and combat pants and shirts. Finnish gun culture in a lot of ways is like American gun culture, but in other ways is drastically different. Today Ivan and I discuss what we both find interesting about their unique gun culture, as well as what brings us together both on a global scale and of course all the way down to a squad level as we fondly look back on our brutal two-day competition experience. Be sure to check back here soon for a more detailed recap of the entire event and be sure to check out both my own personal YouTube channel (ballisticaviation) as well as Ivan’s (Kit Badger) for more coverage on Finnish Brutality 2023, and our adventures in the great country of Finland!
