This video argues against the practicality of battle rifles for WROL (Without Rule of Law) scenarios in 2025, primarily due to ammunition weight, capacity limitations, and cost. The speaker, an M1 Garand enthusiast, advocates for intermediate cartridges like 5.56x45mm NATO for their superior carry capacity, lighter weight, and broader availability, making them more suitable for sustained engagements. Battle rifles are deemed a specialty choice for roles like Designated Marksman or hunting.

This video from Banana Ballistics provides an analytical breakdown of the .45 ACP cartridge, presenting five key reasons why it may not be the optimal choice for modern shooters. The host, demonstrating high authority through empirical data and controlled testing, compares .45 ACP against 9mm Luger and 10mm Auto across critical metrics like weight, capacity, power, recoil, and cost. While acknowledging the .45 ACP's historical significance and unique advantages in suppressibility and momentum, the analysis leans towards more modern cartridges for general-purpose use.

This video from Honest Outlaw details ten compelling reasons why 9mm Luger is considered the best all-around handgun caliber. The instructor highlights its affordability, widespread availability, manageable recoil, effective ballistics, high magazine capacity, flat trajectory, compatibility with Pistol Caliber Carbines, reduced firearm wear, extensive firearm variety, and superior defensive ammunition options. The assessment is based on practical utility and extensive testing, making it a valuable resource for shooters of all levels.
