The US Army rejected the Glock 19X for the XM17 modular handgun trials primarily because it did not meet the requirement for a modular handgun system. While Glock offered some modularity by allowing slide and grip swaps between models like the 17 and 19, it required purchasing multiple complete firearms. In contrast, the Sig P320's modularity was based on a removable trigger pack, allowing different grip sizes and slide lengths to be configured from a single firearm with additional components, making it a more cost-effective and compliant solution for the Army's needs.

This video from Shot Show 2025 highlights new tactical gear. The Shooter Global SG Pulse Pro ballistic computer features a display, stage timer, and digital dope card with remote operation. MDT introduces the LRA Sendit Level Gen 2, a more compact angle indicator with user-adjustable sensitivity and common battery. Lastly, the Cess Precision PH3 rifle is showcased with integrated M-LOK, adjustable ergonomics, and a quick-change barrel system designed for high-pressure rounds.

This guide details the process of testing a Magnum Research Desert Eagle to catastrophic failure, as demonstrated by Kentucky Ballistics. It covers the setup for remote detonation using a high-pressure .50 AE round and the subsequent analysis of the firearm's damage. The video emphasizes understanding firearm mechanics and the potential consequences of extreme pressures, highlighting the importance of safety protocols during such tests.

This guide details the destructive testing of a Smith & Wesson Model 500 revolver, pushing it to catastrophic failure with an experimental high-pressure round. The process involves securing the firearm, using a ballistic dummy for impact analysis, and remote firing. Post-failure analysis focuses on the extent of structural damage and shrapnel patterns. This expert-level demonstration highlights the extreme forces involved in .500 S&W Magnum cartridges when pushed beyond their design limits.

This entry details the catastrophic failure of a Serbu RN-50 rifle when firing .50 BMG SLAP (Saboted Light Armor Penetrator) ammunition. It highlights the dangers of using high-pressure rounds in firearms not designed for them, the severe injuries sustained by Scott of Kentucky Ballistics, and the importance of community respect. Brandon Herrera, a respected firearm designer, provides technical insights into SLAP rounds and firearm failure modes.

This guide details the experimental procedure of firing a Smith & Wesson 500 Magnum revolver with its barrel intentionally removed, as demonstrated by Edwin Sarkissian. The process involves securing the firearm in a shooting rest, using a remote trigger for safety, and firing specialized high-pressure ammunition. The experiment highlights the unpredictable nature of ballistics without a barrel and the potential for significant firearm damage, particularly to the cylinder and frame, when using heavy loads.
