This video explores the hunting capabilities of the Umarex Primal 20 air shotgun for cottontail rabbits. The presenter conducts pattern tests with various ammunition types at 25 yards, finding that a lead-only load performed best. Despite a reloading issue encountered after a successful harvest, the Umarex Primal 20 is deemed effective for hunting small game, comparable to traditional shotguns. The video also showcases the use of a Durwin Hunting E-bike for accessing hunting grounds.

This video demonstrates the testing and initial tuning of an AR-12 style shotgun build by Jordan from PoorBoy Arms. The build features an ICO Marketing Group upper and a PSA .308 lower, which required some modifications. The testing involves using 1350 velocity high brass doveshot shells and addresses a feeding issue, with the speaker suspecting the magazine. Future plans include testing a .308 upper on the PSA lower.

This video showcases the initial live-fire testing of a unique custom firearm build: an Icon Marketing Group (IMG) 12-gauge upper receiver paired with a Palmetto State Armory (PSA) .308 lower receiver, featuring a Grey Market Research Super Safety. The builder, Jordan from PoorBoy Arms, demonstrates the process of testing various 12-gauge ammunition types, including birdshot and different velocity shells, while noting necessary modifications and potential cycling issues. The build is ultimately deemed a success despite minor ammunition-related malfunctions.

This expert guide, drawing on the insights of a seasoned firearms instructor, details how to significantly improve the Ruger 10/22's accuracy and reliability. It covers crucial modifications like barrel free-floating, precise takedown screw torquing, and magazine maintenance. The guide also provides detailed advice on selecting ammunition, upgrading the trigger, and optimizing performance when using a suppressor, transforming the 10/22 from a 'backyard legend' into a highly capable rifle.

This video provides objective recoil data for the OCL Infinity suppressor with different endcaps, including a standard, vented, and muzzle brake configuration. Using accelerometers on a Sig Spear .308, the instructor demonstrates the recoil reduction achieved by each endcap. The muzzle brake endcap showed a substantial 18.3% recoil reduction, while the standard endcap offered a 9.9% reduction, and the vented endcap provided minimal improvement.

This video explores the theoretical and practical outcome of loading a 50 BMG cartridge into a 12 gauge flare gun. The experiment, conducted by a hobbyist, demonstrates that while the 50 BMG cartridge surprisingly fits, the flare gun's firing mechanism and primer strength are insufficient to ignite it. The test highlights the significant differences in primer resistance between ammunition types.

This video demonstrates an experimental test of chambering .50 BMG ammunition into a 12 gauge Orion flare gun. The presenter details a remote firing setup using duct tape and a cord, highlighting the difficulty in igniting the .50 BMG round due to its tough primer. A successful ignition of a 12 gauge blank is shown for comparison, emphasizing the importance of using correct ammunition.

This guide delves into the often-misunderstood mechanics of .22LR ammunition, highlighting its inherent reliability weaknesses due to rimfire ignition. It emphasizes the importance of lot testing ammunition, maintaining firearm cleanliness, and understanding how barrel length affects velocity and point of impact. The video advocates for .22LR as an exceptional training tool rather than a primary defensive option.

The speaker addresses viewer concerns regarding .38 Special test results, asserting the data is based on actual past testing and not misrepresented. They also acknowledge a patron's suggestion that the .32 H&R cartridge might be underrepresented in comparisons to .327 and .38 Special, reiterating that all figures stem from empirical testing.

This review covers the initial function test of a new Smith & Wesson Night Guard revolver in .44 Special. The presenter, hickok45, highlights potential issues like a stiff holster and light primer strikes, necessitating ammunition changes and sight adjustments. The video demonstrates a practical approach to evaluating a new firearm for self-defense reliability.

This video demonstrates a ballistic gel test of 9mm blue tip ammunition, specifically Havoc Halo rounds, fired from a Daria Arms DY9 pistol. The presenter documents the impact and resulting damage in slow motion, highlighting the round's performance on a ballistic head target. The footage provides a visual representation of projectile expansion and penetration.

This video features Hickok45 discussing and demonstrating two distinct firearms: a classic Colt SP1 AR-15 and a Smith & Wesson Night Guard revolver in .44 Special. He highlights the SP1's historical significance and effective iron sights, while the Night Guard's demonstration includes a misfire, leading to a discussion on the critical importance of testing defensive ammunition. The video concludes with broader reflections on firearm choice, self-reliance, and promoting responsible gun ownership.
