This video details a rigorous durability test of the PLX weapon light, subjecting it to the recoil of a 9mm pistol, the heavy slugs of a 12 Gauge shotgun, and the concussive forces from an AR-style rifle's muzzle brake. The PLX demonstrated impressive resilience throughout the testing sequence, even surviving being blown off a tire by a rifle's muzzle blast. The instructor plans a long-term, year-plus torture test.
This video from Collapse N Protect tests the durability of the new PLX weapon light. Through a series of rigorous tests including 'verbal abuse,' a snowstorm immersion, and wall impacts, the PLX demonstrates its ability to withstand harsh conditions and maintain functionality. The instructor highlights its resilience, suggesting it may be duty-grade.
This review of the JTS M12 PT2 shotgun, priced at $130, assesses its viability as a budget home defense option. The video details its dual-action capabilities (pump and inertia-driven semi-auto), technical specifications, and performance with various ammunition types over a 300-round break-in period. The host, demonstrating high authority through empirical testing, concludes it's a functional, albeit basic, option for those on a tight budget.
This guide details the setup and organization of the Kaer 1500 10-14 Rifle Gun Safe, based on insights from the 'Collapse N Protect' channel. It covers the safe's features, including its electronic lock, adjustable shelving, door organizer, and bottom locker. The speaker, a firearms collector with extensive storage needs, recommends it as an affordable option and provides a discount code.
This video emphasizes the importance of immediate action when operating a pump-action shotgun. The host demonstrates how a delayed racking of the slide after firing, unlike an AR-15's automatic cycling, significantly hinders follow-up shot readiness. The correct cadence involves firing and immediately racking to ensure the weapon is prepared for the next threat without delay, crucial for tactical efficiency.
This experiment tests if submerging 9mm ammunition in Mobil 1 synthetic oil for 9 months ruins the gunpowder. Previous tests showed ammo survived shorter durations. Live fire testing of the 9-month soaked rounds in a Glock 17/19 resulted in all five rounds firing successfully without malfunctions, indicating modern ammunition is highly resistant to oil contamination.
This video debunks the myth of rifle rounds exploding by testing a magazine of 5.56 rounds against direct impact. While shotgun birdshot only dented the magazine, shooting the magazine with an AR-15 caused it to smoke and catch fire due to spilled gunpowder igniting from a spark. The experiment highlights that ammunition doesn't typically explode from impact alone.
This guide, presented by Collapse N Protect, demonstrates the superior efficiency of storing AR-15 ammunition in pre-loaded magazines within a 'Fat 50' ammo can. The instructor highlights how this method drastically reduces reload times compared to manually loading loose rounds, emphasizing tactical readiness and speed in a simulated live-fire scenario. The video showcases a practical comparison of these two storage and deployment techniques.
This video tests the sound reduction capabilities of a towel on a Charter Arms Off Duty .38 Special revolver. While the towel reduced the decibel level by 25 dB (from 156 dB to 131 dB), it did not make the firearm hearing safe. The towel also obstructed the sights, causing the shooter to miss the target.
This video tests whether direct primer hits on bundled shotgun shells will cause them to explode. While some shells ignited and expelled shot, none detonated catastrophically. The experiment suggests that shotgun shells are unlikely to explode dangerously even when directly impacted, making them relatively safe to carry on gear.
This video tests whether shotgun shells mounted on a plate carrier will explode when shot. Experiments with birdshot, buckshot, and a Dragon's Breath round show that while the shells and carrier are damaged, the shells themselves do not detonate. The speaker explains this is because firing requires both primer ignition and compression from a barrel, neither of which are present when a shell casing is breached.
This video explores the historical and practical reasons for using cut shotgun shells. It demonstrates how a cut shell acts as a single projectile, offering significantly more penetration than birdshot, as evidenced by its ability to shatter a cinder block. Historically, cut shells were a practical solution for hunting medium game during the Great Depression when specialized slugs were scarce.
