The RN-45 is a custom-built firearm by Royal Nonesuch, featuring a unique blend of parts including a Sten Mark III receiver, M3 Grease Gun bolt, and AK-style stock. High-speed footage reveals feeding issues and occasional misfires due to cartridge bounce in the chamber. The build's rate of fire is confirmed at 465 RPM.
This YouTube video explores an "oddity" in the gas system of the BFG-50A rifle. The creator initially found the high-speed video of the gas piston's motion perplexing, recalling that they had experimented with the system extensively in 2018 without fully understanding its peculiar behavior. The creator hints that the explanation came to them after filming, and the video aims to see how many viewers can deduce the reason behind the gas system's unusual movement.
This YouTube video delves into the physics behind the "BUTT-MASTER" firearm, specifically observing its striker rebound on high-speed video. The creator shares their surprise at this phenomenon, having owned the firearm for years without noticing it. The description also touches on a "conspiracy theory" aspect regarding how the Canadian government became aware of the BUTT-MASTER, promising a simple explanation. The content appears to blend technical firearm analysis with a lighthearted exploration of a specific firearm model and its associated narrative.
This video provides a high-speed, close-up look at the action of an M1 Carbine, a firearm the creator is a fan of and owns multiple examples of. The creator expresses interest in showcasing the internal mechanics in a way the original designer likely never experienced. The description also includes a recommendation for the 1952 film 'Carbine Williams' starring Jimmy Stewart, noting its storytelling value despite some old movie imperfections, and drawing a parallel to the creator's own life experiences.
This YouTube video provides an update on the "Pistols of the Warlords" project, highlighting its successful Kickstarter campaign and upcoming stretch goals. The update reveals new Warlord profiles, custom headbands, and a unique addition of period-appropriate Shanghai-themed cocktails to be included with the books.

This video, originally from May 2020, is a re-upload with a slight modification: the addition of high-speed footage of a third shot. The creator mentions that the video is from before their channel was demonetized in August 2020, leading to the deletion of many videos to regain monetization. The title "I shot a fan!" is a double entendre, referencing the re-upload of content. The focus appears to be on the firearms used and the shooting event itself, enhanced by slow-motion footage.
This high-speed video tests the terminal performance of Hornady 6.5mm Grendel American Gunner 123gr OTM ammunition fired from a 16" AR-15 into calibrated 10% ordnance gelatin. The test measures penetration, retained weight, and expansion, providing detailed data on projectile performance. The video also highlights the use of high-speed camera technology from Aimed Research and promotes TNVC and ARFCOM's merchandise.
This video showcases a high-speed terminal ballistics test of Federal 120gr Fusion MSR ammunition in 6.5mm Grendel. Fired from a 16-inch AR-15 into calibrated 10% ordnance gelatin, the test meticulously records penetration depth, retained weight, and expansion characteristics. The data, including velocities, is presented with detailed measurements such as neck and TSC, offering valuable insights for firearm enthusiasts interested in the performance of this specific cartridge and bullet combination.
This Hornady .223 Rem 73gr Critical Defense FTX gel test reveals that while the round performs well in short-barreled AR-15s (10.5"), its penetration is inadequate for self-defense with longer 16" barrels. The test showed 13.6" penetration in gel from a 10.5" barrel, with significant fragmentation and a temporary stretch cavity of 6"x4". However, Hornady's own tests with a 16" barrel yielded only 10" penetration, suggesting higher velocity from longer barrels can cause premature expansion and reduced effectiveness.
This test evaluates Hornady Black 123gr ELD ammunition in 6.5mm Grendel using ballistic gelatin. The results show significant fragmentation and a large temporary stretch cavity, with 19.7 inches of penetration and 96.66gr retained weight. While not a common home defense caliber, the 6.5mm Grendel load is deemed viable for defense or hunting.
This video tests the terminal performance of 7.62x39mm Hornady Black 123gr SST ammunition fired from a Romanian WASR 10/63 into calibrated 10% ordnance gelatin. The test captures high-speed video to analyze penetration, retained weight, and expansion characteristics of the projectile. The description highlights the rarity of premium, domestically produced defense loads for this caliber and notes the Gadsden flag branding on the ammunition box.
This video presents a high-speed camera analysis of the terminal performance of Hornady Custom 123gr SST ammunition in 6.5mm Grendel. The test involves firing the rounds into calibrated 10% ordnance gelatin from a 12-inch AR-15 platform. Detailed metrics on penetration depth, retained projectile weight, and expansion diameter are provided. The video also includes velocity data from multiple shots, highlighting average, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation.
