This video reviews ten firearms suitable as truck guns for 2026, emphasizing versatility, compactness, and firepower. It highlights AR pistols like the Wilson Combat ARP for their adaptability in various calibers, and pistol caliber carbines such as the CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1 and Kel-Tec Sub2000 CQB for their concealability and common ammunition. Shotguns like the Kel-Tec KS7 and SP12 Compact are presented for their close-range effectiveness, while AR-pattern platforms like the Bear Creek Arsenal AR10 pistol in 8.6 BLK and the Smith & Wesson Response offer modern features and modularity. The Ruger LC Carbine in .45 ACP and the Black Aces Tactical Pro Series L lever-action shotgun are noted for their practicality and unique designs. The Sig P320 Flux Legion package is showcased as an integrated pistol-caliber carbine system.

This video explores the growing trend of shooters replacing 9mm with alternative handgun calibers in 2025 and beyond. The presenter, Ted from Line 45, details the advantages of calibers like .30 Super Carry for capacity, 5.7x28mm for speed and flat trajectory, 10mm for power, .357 SIG for barrier penetration, and .22 TCM for rifle-like velocity in a pistol platform. The discussion highlights how these newer options address specific needs that 9mm may not always meet, driven by advancements in ammunition and firearm design.

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 guide details how to test propellant temperature sensitivity, a crucial factor for consistent long-range accuracy. It emphasizes using a reliable chronograph and testing ammunition across a wide temperature range, from cold to hot conditions. The process involves calculating the muzzle velocity change per degree Fahrenheit to understand how temperature fluctuations affect performance, enabling shooters to account for these variations in their ballistic solutions.

This video tests the performance of 1-karat diamond-tipped .45 ACP rounds fired from a 1911. The tests included a water jug penetration and a ballistics gelatin test. The diamond-tipped rounds, similar to FMJ, did not exhibit expansion and passed through both water jugs and the gelatin block cleanly, suggesting potential underperformance compared to traditional hollow points in this specific configuration. The presenter questions the effectiveness of .45 ACP hollow points in general based on these results.

The speaker advocates for streamlining one's firearm collection and training around the Glock ecosystem, specifically the Glock 19, for improved consistency and skill development. This approach prioritizes simplicity, reliability, and repeatability in shooting fundamentals like draw and reloads, ultimately aiming to make the user a better and more consistent shooter. The video highlights the common journey of testing various firearms before returning to Glock due to its practical advantages for training and carry.

This video provides a comprehensive overview of new firearm releases and industry news. It details new models from Beretta, Wilson Combat, Springfield Armory, Savage, Henry, Chiappa, Sig Sauer, and FN, including specifications, calibers, and MSRPs. The presenter also discusses new optics, suppressors, and firearm accessories, offering insights into their features and potential value.

This video documents the experience at PSA's The Gathering 2026, focusing on long-range shooting events. Key highlights include participation in a 50-caliber Barrett shoot and an attempt at a one-mile shot. The content emphasizes the challenges of extreme long-range shooting, including wind calls and precise aiming techniques, with participants achieving notable successes.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Soviet-era hammer against various calibers. While smaller rounds like .22 LR caused minimal damage, larger calibers like 9mm, 7.62x39mm, .223 Remington, and .308 Winchester inflicted progressively more damage, with the .308 ultimately causing significant structural failure to the hammer's handle.

This guide details the process of zeroing a handgun optic, emphasizing the reduction of shooter error by using a stable rest. It covers firing initial groups, calculating adjustments based on optic specifications, and making incremental changes to achieve a precise point of impact at a recommended 25-yard distance, while acknowledging the impact of environmental factors like wind.

This video tests the bullet resistance of a Soviet-era hammer against various calibers of ammunition, from birdshot to .50 BMG. The hammer's head showed minimal damage from smaller calibers, with paint chips and small craters, but was significantly penetrated and damaged by larger rounds like 7.62x39mm and .308 Winchester.
