Videos tagged with Concussion

This video explores the feasibility of self-defense with a handgun from the backseat of an Uber. It highlights challenges with handgun presentation due to windows and discusses the significant concussion and glass fragmentation when firing. The presenter suggests a crossbody carry bag can be an effective method in such a confined, life-threatening situation.

This video from Active Self Protection, featuring John Correia, analyzes a street fight, emphasizing the critical importance of understanding one's limits and the potential legal consequences of physical altercations. Correia, drawing on extensive martial arts experience, breaks down the four ranges of fighting and highlights the extreme dangers of slams, particularly on concrete, likening them to deadly force. The analysis underscores the need for practical training to defend against such techniques.

This video features a range day comparison of two .50 BMG rifles: the semi-automatic Barrett M82 and the bolt-action Desert Tech Bullpup. The comparison highlights differences in recoil, concussion (especially with a suppressor on the Desert Tech), and overall shooting experience. The .50 BMG rounds demonstrated significant target damage, even breaking rebar supports. The content is presented by Daylin from Louisiana Firearms, who is recognized for his expertise in firearms content creation.

This video demonstrates the significant reduction in concussive muzzle blast when using a Barrett QDL suppressor on a Barrett M107 rifle. Through a high-speed camera experiment with a ballistic dummy hand, the host visually proves the suppressor's effectiveness in mitigating the extreme forces of the .50 BMG round, preventing damage to the dummy hand that occurs with the unsuppressed muzzle brake.

This video from Tática Civil demonstrates that 9mm firearms have varying noise levels. The host shows a standard Glock 19 as his quietest 9mm, contrasting it with a ported Canik MC9, identified as the loudest. The explanation highlights how ported barrels increase sound and concussion, even while reducing recoil. The expert emphasizes the critical need for hearing protection during all firearm use.

This expert review compares the Glock 19 Gen V and the ported Glock 19C Gen V. The analysis highlights that while porting effectively reduces muzzle rise for a flatter shooting experience, it significantly increases muzzle flash and concussion. The video concludes that these trade-offs make the ported version less ideal for enclosed spaces like home defense due to potential vision obstruction and noise.

This content argues against using suppressors on short-barreled rifles (like a 10.5-inch AR-15) for home defense. The speaker suggests the disorienting concussive blast of an unsuppressed firearm can provide a tactical advantage against an intruder. The Dead Air Sandman-S suppressor is shown, but its use in this specific home defense scenario is questioned.

This video humorously illustrates the disruptive effect of a high-concussion muzzle brake, the Rise Armament RA-701, on a public range. The shooter using the brake causes significant side blast and noise, forcing a nearby shooter to stop their own practice. The video satirizes range etiquette and the impact of aggressive muzzle devices.

This video demonstrates the significant side-blast and concussion produced by a muzzle brake on a short-barreled AR-15. It highlights the trade-off between recoil reduction and increased blast, showing the importance of PPE for shooters and bystanders. The demonstration uses a 5.56x45mm NATO caliber rifle.

This video critically examines muzzle brakes and compensators, highlighting their significant drawbacks in terms of concussion and muzzle flash, especially in low-light conditions. While effective for recoil reduction, aggressive brakes can blind the shooter and degrade night vision. The review compares various flash hiders and notes that ammunition type heavily influences flash signature, with premium self-defense rounds offering superior low-flash performance. For tactical or night vision applications, the recommendation leans towards flash hiders or suppressors over 'gamer' brakes.

This video introduces the Ball and Dummy drill to diagnose and correct flinching, a common issue where shooters anticipate recoil by jerking the trigger. By using a mix of live and dummy rounds, instructors can identify the flinch. The Alternating Ball and Dummy drill then helps retrain the shooter's muscle memory by allowing them to practice a smooth trigger pull with known dummy rounds, ultimately improving accuracy with live fire.

This video documents a severe sledding accident where the creator suffered a shattered femur and concussion. It details the immediate aftermath, multiple surgeries, and the long recovery process, including extended periods in a wheelchair and on crutches. The video is part of a series called "eye of the GNARwhal," which showcases more personal and less conventionally viral content from the creator's life, including action sports and random "shenanigans."
