This video argues that the AK platform is an outdated and poor choice for new firearm owners in 2026, particularly in the United States. The presenter, Trench Grenade, cites higher ammunition costs for AK calibers (7.62x39mm and 5.45x39mm) compared to 5.56x45mm NATO, limited and often unreliable American AK market options, and significant disadvantages in modularity, accuracy, optics mounting, and suppressor compatibility when compared to the AR-15 platform. The presenter, drawing on personal experience and professional training, concludes that the AR-15 offers a more cost-effective, versatile, and user-friendly platform for most shooters.

This video compares the practical accuracy of an AK-47 variant against an RPK clone, the Zastava M72, at 100 yards. The RPK, with its heavier barrel, longer stock, and integrated bipod, demonstrated superior practical accuracy when shot prone, confirming its design intent for increased stability and accuracy.

This video provides a detailed comparison between the Ruger Mini-14 and the AR-15, highlighting key differences in operating systems, reliability, accuracy, customization, ergonomics, legal perception, and cost. It aims to inform potential buyers about factors often overlooked by gun store sales staff, emphasizing that the 'better' rifle depends on individual needs and priorities, such as reliability and discretion versus modularity and precision.

The speaker identifies the ITM AT84S, manufactured in Switzerland, as the most accurate 9mm handgun they have ever owned. They highlight its tight fit and superior accuracy compared to a CZ75, noting its origins as a CZ variant developed by ITM. The AT84S is praised for its accuracy potential, with the speaker betting on 1-inch groups at 50 yards and potentially under 2-3 inches at 100 yards when benched.

This video provides a practical comparison between bump firing and a Forced Reset Trigger (FRT) for accuracy. The host, identified as a firearms enthusiast with technical knowledge, demonstrates both techniques on an outdoor range. The FRT, installed on a GForce Arms Jawbone 9mm PCC with a Davidson Defense trigger, significantly outperformed bump firing with a 5.56x45mm rifle in terms of accuracy at 20 yards.

This video compares a .22 caliber airgun (Karma SLS Compact) against a .22 Long Rifle (Bear Creek Arsenal 2011) across price, accuracy, and power. The analysis reveals that while initial costs might differ, the overall expense for a quiet setup can be comparable. Accuracy at 100 yards was found to be similar between the two platforms, with both semi-automatic options performing well. In terms of power, the airgun with specialized exploding pellets demonstrated impressive, albeit different, damage characteristics compared to the .22 LR.

This video reviews the Ruger Mini-14, specifically a configuration reminiscent of the rifle from 'The A-Team'. It highlights the rifle's historical context, its resurgence due to nostalgia, and its performance compared to modern AR-15s. The review details its accuracy improvements, ergonomic considerations, and the nuances of its magazine changes, concluding it remains a viable option for those in restrictive states.

This review compares the Shadow Systems DR920P to a modified Glock 47, focusing on shooting feel, accuracy, and reliability. The reviewer finds the DR920P to have a snappier recoil impulse and be less accurate than the Glock 47. Significant reliability issues, including failures to go into battery and extract, are noted, leading to a recommendation against purchasing the Shadow Systems pistol.

This video compares the performance of a muzzleloader and a crossbow in a ballistic gelatin test and at a 100-yard shooting challenge. The muzzleloader demonstrated superior penetration and tighter groups, while the crossbow showed good accuracy within its effective range. Both are deemed effective for hunting North American game.

This video provides an expert-level comparison between a budget-friendly Derya TM22 setup and a high-end Volquartsen/Woox custom build, both chambered in .22 LR. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating high authority and technical knowledge, evaluates their accuracy potential at an outdoor shooting range. The comparison highlights how significant price differences can translate to measurable improvements in precision, with the premium build achieving tighter shot groupings.

This video provides a detailed comparison between the SKS and AK-47 platforms, focusing on their visual differences, operational mechanisms, and common misconceptions. It explains why the SKS might be mistaken for an AK-47, particularly due to aftermarket magazines, and highlights key distinctions like fixed vs. detachable magazines, bolt design (tilting vs. rotating), and barrel length, which can affect projectile velocity and power. The instructor also touches on accuracy expectations and the historical context of the 7.62x39mm cartridge.

This video compares the 7.62x39mm and 5.56x45mm NATO calibers, primarily through ballistic gel testing and range experience. While 7.62x39mm is often perceived to have more stopping power, the testing suggests some 5.56mm rounds exhibited more energy and tumbling. Ultimately, the speakers emphasize that practical training, individual skill, and ammunition availability are more critical than minor caliber differences for WROL (With-Out-Rule-of-Law) scenarios. They also touch on potential reliability issues with AR platforms and the faster heating of 7.62x39mm barrels.
