What happens here

A close-up view of a G-thread (7/8") guard and an F-thread (11/16") guard clearly shows the difference in their internal diameters, with the F-thread being smaller. The presenter explains that an F-thread guard cannot be threaded onto a G-thread gun, and conversely, a G-thread guard will simply slide onto an F-thread gun without engaging the threads, rendering it unusable.

Goal: The presenter visually compares the internal diameters of G-thread (7/8") and F-thread (11/16") guards, showing that F-thread guards are significantly smaller, making them incompatible with G-thread guns.
