This video from Mrgunsngear discusses the ongoing ammunition shortage and its potential to worsen. The speaker, Mike, identifies several contributing factors including Russian import sanctions, US aid to Ukraine impacting stockpiles and propellant use, COVID-related supply chain issues, component cost increases (specifically copper tariffs), and increased demand driven by geopolitical events and a large percentage of firearm owners possessing minimal ammunition. He advises viewers to consider increasing their ammunition stockpiles, particularly for common calibers, as prices are likely to rise and availability may decrease.

This video warns of an unprecedented ammunition shortage driven by a global powder scarcity, projected to last until at least next year. The speaker, citing a major ammunition producer, anticipates prices doubling or tripling and advises viewers to acquire an adequate supply thoughtfully. The shortage is expected to affect all calibers, including 9mm, .380 ACP, and .22 Long Rifle, with major retailers and even sponsors like Fiocchi experiencing stockouts.

This video tests the durability of a Russian K6-3 helmet against various calibers of ammunition. The helmet features a removable face shield and is constructed from a combination of plastic and metal components. Testing reveals that while the metal front plate offers some ballistic resistance, the plastic portions are not bulletproof and fail to stop rounds. The face shield is also shown to be ineffective against firearm projectiles.
