This video details a lot-to-lot consistency test of Fiocchi 55gr M193 ammunition. The instructor found significant variations in accuracy and velocity between different lots, impacting performance. Testing was conducted at 100 yards using two different AR-15 barrels, a 20-inch Bear Creek Arsenal HBAR and a 14.5-inch Hodge barrel, with data collected via a Garmin chronograph and Mantis X10.

This review of the Colt All-American 2000, designed by Reed Knight and Eugene Stoner, challenges historical claims of extreme inaccuracy. While the pistol exhibited reliability issues and a heavy, unusual trigger pull, the reviewer's tests showed significantly better accuracy than reported in early 1990s firearms publications. The reviewer suggests that the pistol's ergonomics, trigger, and potentially manufacturing tolerances contributed to its poor reception, rather than outright fabrication by journalists.

This video details range time with a Bear Creek Arsenal BCA 15-22 .22LR rifle, focusing on accuracy testing with various ammunition types. The reviewer found that while not a precision rifle, it can achieve decent groups with specific ammunition like Norma Tac-22 and Sellier & Bellot Club. The rifle is presented as a fun, affordable option for plinking and familiarization with the AR platform, though reliability and accuracy can be inconsistent depending on the ammunition used.

This video provides an in-depth look at Beretta's new NAR (New Assault Rifle) platform, intended as the next service rifle for the Italian Army. The review highlights its development process, extensive testing under NATO AC225 standards, and key technical features. It emphasizes the platform's reliability, modularity, and ergonomic design, drawing comparisons to the AR-15 while showcasing unique Beretta innovations.

This review of the Ruger New Model Single-Six Convertible covers its performance with both .22LR and .22WMR cylinders. The 9.5-inch barrel is noted for potentially increasing velocity, especially with .22 Magnum. Testing at various distances highlights the firearm's accuracy potential, though the wide front sight blade presents challenges for precision shooting at longer ranges. The reviewer suggests sight adjustment is necessary for optimal performance beyond close distances.

This video compares Fiocchi Range Dynamics and CCI Standard Velocity .22LR ammunition at 100 yards using a CZ 457 rifle. While both ammunitions are 40-grain lead round nose, the Fiocchi exhibited significant inconsistency and flyers, resulting in a larger average group size (2.23 inches) and mean radius (.73 MOA). CCI Standard Velocity, despite also having flyers, demonstrated better overall consistency with a slightly smaller average group size (2.21 inches) and a tighter mean radius (.66 MOA), making it the preferred choice for accuracy in this specific rifle setup.

This one-year ownership review of the Barra 250Z highlights its impressive accuracy and value, especially when compared to more expensive airguns and even .22 Magnum rimfires. The reviewer found zero problems over a year of extensive use, praising its ability to shoot both pellets and slugs accurately out to 100 yards. The video also provides a detailed guide on how to disassemble the rifle for tuning the hammer spring and trigger, emphasizing the need for a chronograph and basic tools.

This video details the accuracy testing of a budget-built Ruger 10/22 rifle. The reviewer meticulously tested various .22 LR ammunition types, documenting group sizes and overall performance. The build features a KSA Microgroove barrel, M-Carbo trigger kit, and a BSA Sweet 22 scope, with the reviewer expressing satisfaction with the rifle's reliability and accuracy relative to its cost.

This video explores the effectiveness of historical Mexican police shooting techniques from the 1960s, including hip shooting and shooting between the legs. The presenter tests the accuracy of these methods, demonstrating that while some are possible, they may not always be practical or consistently accurate.

This review of the Browning XBolt 2 highlights its popularity among hunters but reveals significant accuracy issues with several ammunition types. While the rifle's feeding mechanism and build quality are praised, the inconsistent performance, particularly the keyholing observed with Remington ammunition and the potentially problematic 1:7 twist rate for 6.5 PRC, raises concerns. The Athlon Aries HLR 4-20x50 scope is noted for its excellent turrets and clear glass, though it's a second focal plane model.

This video explores the effectiveness and drawbacks of suppressing auto rifles, specifically AR-15 platforms, by testing accuracy, back pressure, heat mitigation, flash signature, and sound suppression. It highlights how suppressors can impact accuracy due to increased heat and mirage, increase back pressure leading to fouling and potential health concerns, and significantly alter thermal and IR signatures. The analysis suggests that while suppressors offer benefits like flash reduction, their use on auto rifles requires careful consideration of the specific suppressor technology and operational context.

This review of the Ridgeback Rhodie 6 suppressor highlights its hybrid diameter design, forward venting system, and Inconel construction. Instructor Aaron C. of Sage Dynamics found it to be exceptionally reliable across various platforms, including short-barreled rifles and full-auto configurations. The suppressor demonstrated excellent performance in managing gas, reducing recoil pulse, and maintaining a low muzzle signature, even under night vision conditions.
