This expert guide, presented by Guido from Vampire Guns, details the correct pistol grip technique for effective recoil management. It emphasizes understanding the immense energies involved in firing a pistol and how to use a fluid, body-integrated grip to absorb recoil rather than fight it. Key techniques include proper hand placement, utilizing leverage, and maintaining symmetrical tension for harmonious reaction, crucial for both accuracy and control during rapid fire.

This video from Warrior Poet Society explains how temperature significantly impacts long-range rifle accuracy. Instructor John Lovell details two primary mechanisms: changes in air density, which affect bullet flight, and alterations to the powder's burn rate, influencing projectile velocity and energy. Understanding these variables is crucial for consistent performance at extended distances.

This video critiques the internet's tendency to promote numerous specialized rifle builds (CQB, GPR, SPR, Field Rifle) for various SHTF scenarios. The instructor emphasizes that most individuals would be better served by mastering one reliable rifle platform and focusing on practical training, understanding ballistics, and considering their actual use case and physical capabilities. The core message is to avoid falling victim to consumerism and instead prioritize proficiency with a single, well-understood firearm.

This video delves into the complexities of ballistics, particularly terminal ballistics, explaining the numerous variables that influence projectile behavior upon impact. The speaker, a former sniper and Green Beret, emphasizes that while internal and external ballistics can be calculated, terminal ballistics are inherently unpredictable due to factors like impact angle, tissue density, projectile spin rate, and engineering. The discussion highlights how modern ammunition engineering, including tumbling and frangible rounds, significantly impacts terminal performance, and stresses the importance of understanding these variables for accurate analysis.

This video explains the dangerous phenomenon of Deflagration to Detonation Transition (DDT) in firearms. Professional gunsmith Guido details how gunpowder normally deflagrates, creating controlled pressure. He warns that DDT, where gunpowder detonates, can occur due to improper loading, especially with low powder charges in long cases, leading to catastrophic firearm failure. The video emphasizes meticulous reloading practices to avoid this risk.

This video provides a foundational understanding of ballistics for rifle marksmanship, breaking it down into three key areas: internal, external, and terminal. It explains how factors like barrel rifling, environmental conditions, and bullet velocity significantly impact projectile trajectory and effectiveness. The content is geared towards shooters seeking to improve their accuracy by understanding the science behind bullet flight.

This expert guide from Vampire Guns details the severe dangers of firing ammunition with recessed bullets ('palla affondata'). The video demonstrates how this condition can lead to catastrophic overpressure, destroying firearms like the Beretta APX and potentially injuring the shooter. It emphasizes the critical importance of visual ammunition inspection to prevent such failures.

This video, titled "Longer Barrel = Faster Bullet," directly addresses a fundamental principle of ballistics. While a description is pending, the title strongly suggests an exploration of how barrel length influences projectile velocity. It's likely to delve into the physics of firearm operation, explaining the relationship between dwell time and muzzle velocity. Potential content could include explanations of internal ballistics, the role of propellant burn rate, and how a longer barrel allows for a more complete powder burn, leading to higher bullet speeds. The video might use examples or simulations to illustrate this concept.

This entry clarifies how rifle ammunition functions, emphasizing that only the bullet is propelled from the cartridge case. It debunks the misconception that a full cartridge can be fired into a solid object, as demonstrated by the speaker's explanation of internal ballistics and component separation. The information is presented with high authority, drawing on the speaker's knowledge of ammunition and firearm mechanics.

This video provides a detailed technical breakdown of the Zuber Palla Extra 12 gauge shotgun slug. A high-authority technical reviewer demonstrates the disassembly process, precisely weighing the slug (30.15g), internal ball (2.10g), and gunpowder (1.57g). The analysis includes cutting open the slug to reveal its construction and conducting a gunpowder burn rate test, offering valuable insights for ammunition enthusiasts and reloaders.

This expert guide, drawing from professional gunsmithing knowledge, details the dangerous phenomenon of bullet setback. It explains how insufficient neck tension can cause a bullet to be pushed into the case, leading to catastrophic overpressure and potential firearm damage. The guide emphasizes safe reloading practices and awareness of ammunition malfunctions.
