This video details the first shots of a custom 6mm ARC AR-15 build. The presenter highlights specific components like a Rainier Arms barrel, BCM thermal fit, Griffin Armament lower, and Adabal 110 optic. Initial testing reveals cycling issues, particularly with ASC magazines, leading to troubleshooting and a comparison of Faxon and Centurion bolt carrier groups. Velocity data and accuracy observations are provided, with a focus on identifying and resolving build-specific problems.

This video provides a critical analysis of Hornady Black 10mm 155gr XTP ammunition through rigorous ballistic gel testing. The host, an experienced reviewer, uses professional equipment like LabRadar to measure velocities from both a Glock 29 and Glock 20. The results indicate that while the ammunition performed adequately in terms of expansion and penetration, the velocities achieved were significantly lower than advertised, leading to a conclusion that it performs more like a 'spicy .40 S&W' than true 10mm power.

This guide details the installation and initial testing of the Q Thunder Chicken suppressor on a Q Mini Fix rifle. The video highlights the suppressor's titanium construction, Quick Fast-Attach system, and impressive performance in sound reduction and minimal gas blowback. The presenter, Summer, an experienced content creator, demonstrates the process and shares her positive experience with Silencer Shop's NFA purchasing process.

This review details the LaRue LT-15 Match Grade Upper, focusing on its accuracy potential. The expert assessment highlights its exceptional performance with various ammunition types, achieving approximately 1 MOA groups. While praised for its trigger and build quality, its weight and lack of ambidextrous controls are noted as drawbacks for tactical use, making it more suitable for precision shooting applications like predator hunting.

This review provides an objective and practical assessment of the Springfield Armory Saint Victor 308 rifle. The reviewer, demonstrating high expertise with tools like a digital trigger pull gauge and chronograph, details range results including 10-shot group sizes and average velocities for different ammunition types. The analysis covers barrel specifications, furniture, trigger feel, and overall reliability, concluding with a value assessment for potential buyers.

This video provides an in-depth accuracy test of the .338 ARC cartridge fired from a CMMG Descent SBR with a 10.5-inch barrel and 1:8 twist rate. The instructor compares the performance of Hornady's 175-grain supersonic hollow points and 307-grain subsonic sub-x ammunition. While the supersonic rounds demonstrated good accuracy, the heavier subsonic bullets showed signs of poor stabilization, leading to larger groups and elongated bullet holes.

This comprehensive test, led by experienced firearms instructors from Classic Firearms, compares the real-world penetration of 9mm and .300 Blackout ammunition. Using common barriers like drywall, car doors, and Level 3A body armor, the video provides critical insights into terminal ballistics and over-penetration risks relevant to self-defense and law enforcement applications. The expert analysis emphasizes shot placement and target awareness due to the significant energy differences observed.

This video provides an initial range review and training session with a PSA Krink chambered in 5.45x39. The instructor demonstrates zeroing procedures, speed drills like the Bill Drill and transition drills, and discusses the firearm's handling characteristics, including recoil management and the impact of the pistol brace. The review also touches on ammunition performance and potential modifications.

This video provides a head-to-head comparison of the 338 ARC and 300 Blackout cartridges, focusing on subsonic and supersonic ammunition performance. Tests included recoil impulse, water jug impact, and barrier penetration through a truck bed. The 338 ARC demonstrated significantly more energy on target and better barrier performance, while the 300 Blackout offered more controllable recoil for follow-up shots.

This video details a friendly rifle competition between a PSA Dissipator build and a Zastava M70, focusing on 50-yard group shooting. The competition highlights differences in rifle platforms, ammunition types, and sighting systems (iron sights vs. red dot optic). The participants engage in multiple rounds, including a timed drill with reloads, showcasing practical shooting scenarios and friendly rivalry.

This video details an accuracy test of a Daniel Defense MK12 build, featuring a new Rise Armament Iconic trigger. The presenter evaluates the rifle's performance with various ammunition types at distances up to 450 yards, providing specific group size data. The unique characteristics of the Rise Armament Iconic trigger, described as a single-stage with takeup on the shoe, are also discussed.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test comparing Hornady Black and Hornady Critical Defense 5.7x28mm ammunition. The instructor, demonstrating significant expertise in ballistics testing, highlights the performance differences in expansion, penetration, and weight retention. The Critical Defense round, featuring an FTX bullet, produced a significantly larger wound cavity and better weight retention, making it a recommended carry load for the 5.7x28mm caliber.
