Sootch00, with his extensive experience in firearms and gear review, highlights the Byrna HD as a potent non-lethal alternative for personal and home defense, emphasizing its effectiveness and legality in various scenarios.

This video addresses the question of whether pistol braces have rendered Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs) obsolete. The speaker demonstrates a failure of a Shockwave Blade brace on a 7.62x39 AR pistol due to its improper use as a stock, highlighting that braces are not designed for shoulder pressure. While braces offer a legal alternative to SBRs for some, they are not a direct substitute for a proper stock.

This video provides a technical follow-up on the Franklin Armory Reformation, focusing on its unique NFA-circumventing design and performance with specialized ammunition. Jay Jacobson, President of Franklin Armory, explains the straight-cut barrel's legal classification and the aerodynamic stabilization of the NRS projectile, which achieves near 1 MOA accuracy. Standard ammunition shows significantly reduced accuracy. The firearm is slated for release in late Q2/early Q3 2018, with pricing around $2,000 for the Binary Firing System model.

This guide details the modification process for creating a Non-NFA Mossberg 500 'firearm' build, as demonstrated by Booligan. Key steps involve installing a Shockwave Technologies Raptor grip and lug, shortening the barrel to 14.5 inches, and adding a Magpul M-LOK forend. The build emphasizes maintaining an overall length over 26 inches to legally classify it as a 'firearm' rather than a Short-Barreled Shotgun (SBS), thus avoiding NFA regulations. The speaker, Booligan, exhibits high authority and legal awareness regarding these custom builds.
