The Garand Thumb review highlights the Robinson Armament XCR-M in 8.6 Blackout as a significant advancement in subsonic rifle platforms. It offers superior terminal ballistics compared to 300 Blackout and 9mm subsonic rounds due to its heavy 300-grain projectile and high twist rate. The rifle demonstrates manageable recoil, acceptable accuracy for its intended role, and impressive modularity with its quick-change barrel system.
The FoldAR AR-15 offers extreme portability without sacrificing ballistic performance, folding into a compact size for discreet carry. Testing demonstrated a minimal 1 MOA shift in zero after repeated folding and unfolding, even under harsh conditions like sand ingress. It's presented as a viable option for those needing a concealable, high-firepower platform.
The Q Fix is a lightweight (approx. 5 lbs) precision rifle that delivers impressive accuracy, achieving sub-half MOA groups with Hornady 140gr ELD Match ammunition. Despite its compact design and unique aesthetics, it offers features like a one-piece receiver, AR-style safety, and easy barrel swapping. While generally ergonomic, a minor note was made about the trigger guard potentially hitting knuckles. The rifle is shown paired with an Element Optics Theos scope and a Liberty Precision Anthem S suppressor.
This video by Garand Thumb investigates the lethality of the .22 LR pistol, challenging common underestimations. Through ballistic testing on a realistic dummy, it demonstrates that while lacking raw power, precise shot placement, especially to the head and vital organs, can be devastating. Rapid fire is also shown to compensate for the caliber's lower individual round energy.
