This video tests the safety of bullpup rifles during catastrophic failure. A Kel-Tec RFB in .308 Winchester was subjected to a specially loaded round exceeding 300,000 PSI. While the rifle experienced a massive explosion, destroying the lower receiver and magazine, slow-motion analysis showed the heavy metal upper receiver largely shielded the ballistic dummy's face from direct debris, indicating the bullpup design can offer protection in extreme failure scenarios.
This review covers seven top .308 rifles, ranging from classic designs like the Springfield M1A and FN FAL to modern platforms such as the FN SCAR 17S and B&T APC308. It highlights key features like gas systems, ergonomics, and accuracy potential, offering options for various budgets and shooting disciplines, including long-range precision and tactical applications.
This video details a cold-weather range day featuring the BCM Mk12 with an AEM5 silencer and the Kel-Tec RFB with an OSS Helix suppressor. It highlights practical setups for extreme temperatures, including a portable shelter and heater, and demonstrates the performance of both suppressed rifle systems at 150 yards, noting accuracy and suppressor effects like mirage.

This review explores Kel-Tec's bullpup rifle lineage, focusing on the RFB, RDB, and the new RDB-C. The RDB-C is highlighted for its California-compliant design and 6.5 Grendel chambering, offering low recoil. The video also touches on the RFB's forward ejection and the RDB's downward ejection and adjustable gas system, emphasizing competitive pricing and performance.
Nutnfancy is holding a significant firearm liquidation sale at the PFI store in Layton, Utah, on October 3rd. The sale aims to clear out a large portion of the TNP collection to cover expenses and make space. They will be offering a variety of handguns, rimfire rifles, shotguns, and tactical rifles, many in new or low-round-count condition, with value pricing for in-person attendees. High-end optics will generally be retained due to their value and difficulty in bundling.
The Christensen Arms CA-10 is a premium, lightweight AR-10 platform rifle, weighing just 7.1 lbs, featuring a proprietary carbon fiber barrel for enhanced accuracy and heat dissipation. While excelling in precision, especially with match-grade ammunition achieving near one-hole groups, it experienced minor reliability issues like light primer strikes and hard extraction with certain loads. Despite a high MSRP starting at $3,500, its exceptional accuracy and class-leading weight make it a unique contender for tactical and hunting applications.
This update on the Kel-Tec RFB .308 bullpup indicates improved reliability after initial issues, with the rifle currently undergoing a break-in period. Using Wolf .308 ammunition and the gas port set wide open, the rifle is cycling better as more rounds are fired. A full review is planned after a recommended 500-round break-in.
This penetration test compares various rifle calibers against trees of different diameters. The 5.45x39mm consistently penetrated smaller trees, while larger calibers like .308 Winchester required high volume fire to breach a 2.5-foot diameter tree. The test highlights that only very thick trees (6ft+) offer reliable cover against rifle rounds.
This review of the Kel-Tec RFB highlights significant reliability issues, particularly with cycling ammunition and the gas system's limited adjustment range. The forward-ejection design complicates malfunction clearing, often requiring disassembly. The rifle struggled with steel-cased ammunition and was deemed unreliable for military-style use.
The Kel-Tec RFB in .308/7.62 NATO offers a compact 26-inch design with an 18-inch barrel and low felt recoil. Its unique forward ejection system is a key feature, directing spent brass forward for ambidextrous operation. The rifle utilizes FN metric magazines and boasts a trigger superior to many bullpups.
This video features a debrief of the Kel-Tec RFB rifle, with the reviewer providing mostly positive feedback in the final part of a "No Fear" series. While the RFB performs well, it doesn't quite match the performance of the FN 17S in their point system. The video also includes observations after shooting, a segment involving a "Sledge" chasing darkness with "big laughs," and an update on the PMR-30 after lubrication, hoping for 100% reliability. The content concludes with humorous commentary on PFI's Barbie collection and a concluding remark about the outcome of the testing, suggesting it "kinda' worked out."
