This guide details the significant parts compatibility challenges inherent in building 9mm AR-15 platforms, contrasting them with the standardization of 5.56 AR-15s. It highlights issues with bolt geometry, trigger compatibility, proprietary systems, and magazine feed angles. The video emphasizes the need for thorough research and potential manual fitting due to the lack of universal specifications in the 9mm AR market, advising builders to expect 'teething pains'.
This review tests various firearms (pistols, PCCs, rifles, shotguns) with a new female shooter, Brittany, to determine the best option for home defense. The CMMG Guard 9mm PCC emerged as the clear winner due to its ease of use, low recoil, and accuracy, outperforming traditional recommendations like shotguns which proved difficult to manage.
This video reviews the CMMG MkG "Guard" PCC, a compact 9mm AR-style pistol with a brace. The reviewer highlights its innovative radial bolt carrier group, which moves beyond simple blowback and is adaptable to more powerful rounds. Despite acknowledging its high price point and potential value concerns in component selection, the reviewer praises its reliability, light weight, and accuracy. While not ideal for all situations, it's highly recommended for those needing a compact AR9. The Trijicon MRO is also discussed, with a recommendation for the more affordable Holosun sight.
The CMMG Mk57 Banshee in 5.7x28mm is a lightweight PDW offering impressive accuracy, with Federal American Eagle 40gr FMJ achieving a 0.5-inch group at 50 yards. Its Radial Delayed Blowback system significantly reduces recoil. Suppressed shooting with subsonic ammo requires a lighter buffer for reliable cycling. The pistol accepts FN Five-seveN magazines and has an MSRP of $1500.

This Q&A session covers a wide range of firearm-related topics, including ammunition feeding mechanisms (belts vs. links), the historical factors influencing gun manufacturing locations, and specific caliber choices like France's avoidance of 7.62 NATO. The discussion delves into specific firearms like the CMMG Guard, the historical function of proof houses, and the 6mm Lee Navy cartridge. It also touches upon modern military applications of 7.62mm NATO rifles, unique design features like straight triggers on French rifles, and hypothetical choices for Old West revolvers. The video explores magazine design, the development of semi-automatic rifles before WWII, potential modernizations of the M1941 Johnson, and the future of the 5.56mm NATO cartridge. Additional questions cover collectible firearms for Anglophiles, US intermediate cartridge development, surplus ammunition sourcing, the rarity of straight-pull military rifles, potential Mosin improvements, inertial locking mechanisms, and specific rifles like the FX-05 and Type 89, as well as legal conversion of open-bolt SMG kits.
This test evaluates the performance of Federal 124gr +P HST ammunition fired from a 16-inch 9mm carbine. In bare gel, the increased velocity caused excessive fragmentation and insufficient penetration (9.6-9.7 inches). However, when fired through four layers of denim simulating clothing, the ammunition performed optimally, achieving proper expansion and penetration (11.8-13.3 inches), meeting defensive standards. The instructor highlights how clothing can alter bullet behavior.
