This video from TFB TV, featuring James Reeves, debunks the myth that longer rifle barrels are inherently more accurate. Through controlled testing of an FN M4 (14.5-inch barrel) and an FN M16 (20-inch barrel) with identical calibers and twist rates, the experiment found negligible differences in group size at 100 meters. While longer barrels increase muzzle velocity, they can also introduce more vibration, potentially impacting accuracy.

This video from TFB TV, featuring James Reeves, conducts an expert-level accuracy comparison between an FN M4 (AR-15 platform) and a Saiga SGL-21 (AK-47 platform) using steel-cased ammunition at 100 yards. The testing utilizes Caldwell Lead Sleds for stability, firing 5-shot groups to measure precision. The results indicate that modern AK-47 variants can achieve accuracy comparable to AR-15s when using similar ammunition types, debunking common myths about inherent AK inaccuracy.
