This video demonstrates an unconventional method for clearing a squib load from a firearm barrel. A high-profile firearms influencer, PewView, uses a Meta Tactical Apex bullpup chassis on a Glock and encounters a squib load with Federal 115gr ammunition. Instead of conventional clearing, PewView detaches the barrel and uses a Smith & Wesson Competitor to fire a 9mm round into the obstruction, successfully clearing it. The experiment is captured with high-speed cameras, highlighting the impact and the undamaged barrel post-clearing.

This video demonstrates an unconventional method of cooking bacon using the heat generated by a suppressor on an AR-15 style rifle. The creator, Johnny Q, wraps bacon around the suppressor and fires rounds to cook it. The guide outlines the steps involved, emphasizing the experimental nature of this technique and the importance of firearm safety throughout the process.

This video explores the effectiveness of using a 32-inch metal baseball bat to deflect a live hand grenade. The host, a tactical gear reviewer, demonstrates the experiment on a snowy outdoor range. The results show the bat is severely dented, and the grenade's travel distance is minimal, proving the method ineffective and dangerous.

This video from FalconClaw explores the experimental use of plexiglass for thermal signature masking. While it offers partial obscuration, the results indicate it is not a fully effective solution against advanced thermal optics. The team demonstrates a field test using an AR-15 style rifle and thermal optics.

This video demonstrates an experimental technique for suppressing handgun noise using common household items. Johnny Q, an experienced firearms enthusiast, tests the efficacy of 1, 2, and 3 pillows placed over the muzzle of a customized Glock 19. The results indicate a significant reduction in gunshot sound with three pillows, mimicking a suppressor's effect. The guide emphasizes safe handling practices throughout the test.

This guide details the 'cheek pistol' technique, popularized by Rhett Neumayer and demonstrated on the Calico M950 by Ian McCollum. It involves using the cheek, alongside both hands, for enhanced pistol stabilization, particularly effective with firearms featuring downward ejection and red dot sights. The technique aims to improve accuracy and follow-up shot speed by minimizing muzzle flip, though it presents challenges like heat buildup and potential malfunctions requiring partial disassembly. Instruction emphasizes the experimental nature and advanced application of this shooting doctrine.
