TFB Behind The Gun Podcast #87: Exploring the Granny Tunnel with Calvin of Firepower United
We’re back to our continuing coverage of Finnish Brutality 2023, this time with my good friend Calvin T from Firepower United. Many of you will remember Calvin from his YouTube channel that often collaborated with TFBTV and it just so happens that this year Calvin and I had the opportunity to shoot together at Finnish Brutality 2023. Beyond being a professional gun satirist, Calvin is also an accomplished competitive shooter, as well as an avid collector of historical military firearms. Today Calvin and I will be discussing the Finnish Brutality 2023 match, some of his competitive shooting stories, and of course a neat story behind the infamous “Granny Tunnel” located in the country’s capital of Helsinki. Please welcome Calvin T of Firepower United to the show!

TFB Behind The Gun Podcast #87: Exploring the Granny Tunnel with Calvin of Firepower United
On today’s episode of TFB’s Behind The Gun Podcast, we’ve brought on Calvin from the YouTube channel Firepower United. For longtime readers and watchers of TFB, many of you might remember Calvin back when Alex C used to frequent the channel. While Calvin doesn’t do many long-form videos these days on his YouTube channel, he does run a highly successful series of reels that are primarily satire but often contain useful nuggets of training info, or tidbits about specific firearms models. However, what Calvin is probably most famous for is the response that some of his more satirical YouTube shorts generate. While Calvin creates some of my favorite online short-form content, he’s also a very competent competitive shooter having competed not just here in the States, but across the globe as an IPSC, and more importantly for today’s topic, a Finnish Brutality competitor. Calvin and I were both part of this year’s Finnish Brutality media squad and had a great time experiencing not just the great firearms culture that Finland has, but their Sauna culture, and also learning of some of their more infamous local attractions in the city of Helsinki. Please welcome Clavin, of Firepower United to the show!

It was physically painful how many people didn't understand he was being satirical with his Fuk Long series. The SCAR/gross motor skills videos especially; watching the followup with Travis Haley or the 1911 reload videos usually helped people realize what was up. When it didn't... those people got filed under too dumb to trust with carry ammo.
The Polenar Tactical video of this was a lot of fun. Calvin's a really cool dude and I envy his gun collection.
