This video explores the challenges and concepts behind anti-drone ammunition, examining historical ideas like Project Salvo and modern shotgun-esque designs. It highlights issues with dispersion reliability, weapon compatibility (especially with suppressors), manufacturability, logistics, and cost. The speaker suggests that while these specialized rounds aim for higher hit probability against fast, unpredictable targets like drones, their practical application faces significant hurdles compared to traditional rifle munitions or alternative anti-drone technologies.

This video, from TheYankeeMarshal, offers expert advice on diversifying ammunition stores, particularly for survival scenarios. The speaker, demonstrating experienced authority, argues that relying on a single caliber like 9mm is risky in a societal collapse, as supplies will eventually dwindle. Diversifying ammunition across multiple calibers, even less common ones like .327 Federal or .357 Sig, ensures longer operational capability and provides valuable options for bartering and trade.

This video discusses Glock's discontinuation of many commercial pistol models in favor of the new V series, raising concerns about parts compatibility, future support, and potential business decisions influenced by litigation. The speaker, a firearms instructor, advises preparedness-minded individuals to consider the implications for their existing Glock investments and potential future purchases, suggesting that the V series may not yet be as proven as legacy models. The analysis highlights the importance of the 'commercial' distinction in Glock's product strategy and its potential impact on the civilian market.

This analysis focuses on the logistical impact of magazine choices for firearms, particularly comparing OEM Glock magazines with aftermarket options from Beretta, Meetar, and Checkmate. The speaker suggests that the cost difference between OEM and aftermarket magazines is minimal and that aftermarket options offer comparable reliability and longevity, making the logistical concerns less significant. The discussion also touches on the base configuration of a pistol and the potential for upgrades like triggers.

This video details the US military's XM9 trials in 1984, where the Beretta 92SB-F (later M9) was selected over the SIG Sauer P226 and the M1911. It highlights the rigorous testing, cost analysis, and subsequent legal battle initiated by Beretta against the US government for defamation. The narrative also touches upon the issues that led to the M9A1 and the FS variant, primarily stemming from the misuse of '+P+' ammunition by Navy SEALs, which caused slide failures.

This video documents the creator's first experience bringing a firearm in their suitcase. While the specific firearm and caliber are not detailed in the provided information, the title suggests a novel or perhaps unusual situation regarding luggage and firearm transport. The content likely focuses on the logistics, potential legal considerations (though not explicitly stated), and the personal experience of traveling with a gun in this manner. It aims to capture audience interest through the element of novelty and potential controversy.

This video delves into the long-standing debate between Direct Impingement (DI) and external piston AR-15 operating systems. The instructor, Chris from Regular Guy Training, argues that while DI systems excel in raw performance like accuracy and smooth cycling, external piston systems like the HK416 offer superior reliability, especially when suppressed or in adverse conditions. He debunks the significant weight difference argument and emphasizes the importance of real-world data over extreme testing scenarios, while also discussing the logistical support differences between the two platforms.

This guide, presented by firearms instructor Johnny Q, details how to manage ammunition supplies using the Bullet Vault service. It explains the concept of a digital ammunition bank where users can convert currency into rounds, monitor their reserves via a mobile app, and withdraw physical ammunition as needed. The service also allows users to sell back excess rounds for USD, functioning like a bullet savings and trading account.

This video discusses a significant increase in firearms stolen during transit between Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs). The speaker highlights that this issue is not a consumer problem but rather a shipping and FFL-related challenge, with a reported 75% rise in stolen guns in transit over the last five years. The increased theft is expected to lead to higher shipping costs for firearms.

This guide outlines essential spare parts for AR-15 and Glock-style pistols crucial for long-term preparedness scenarios. It emphasizes stocking inexpensive repair kits for AR-15s, including components like firing pins and gas tube pins, and suggests considering a spare bolt carrier group. For Glocks, key parts include extractors, springs, and recoil assemblies, highlighting cost-effective maintenance for critical firearm function.

This video discusses a significant development in the firearms industry where 16 State Attorneys General have formally questioned UPS and FedEx about their new policies regarding shipments from Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs). The letter indicates a strong pushback from state officials on how these major shipping companies are handling firearm-related logistics, suggesting potential legal or policy challenges to the carriers' decisions. The content highlights the ongoing tension and scrutiny surrounding the transportation of firearms.

This video features Brandon Herrera, a recognized firearms expert and manufacturer, comparing the Russian VSS Vintorez in 9x39mm against the American Sig Rattler in .300 Blackout. The comparison focuses on suppressor performance and market realities. Herrera highlights the VSS Vintorez's integral suppressor as quieter than the Sig Rattler's setup, while also detailing the significant cost and availability differences between the two calibers in the US market.
