This video demonstrates a real-time incident of an underpowered ammunition load causing a firearm malfunction. The speaker, acting as an instructor, explains the characteristics of such a failure, including a weak "pop" sound and minimal slide movement. Crucially, the video emphasizes safe handling procedures after a suspected malfunction, including waiting for potential hang-fires and thoroughly checking the barrel for obstructions before re-chambering a round.

This video explains the phenomenon of light primer strikes in AR-style firearms, attributing them to the design of the floating firing pin. The instructor demonstrates how a floating firing pin can leave a small dimple on the primer even without a full ignition, which is normal for many AR-15 and AR-10 platforms. It also touches on how some blowback AR systems mitigate this effect.

This video details a 3000-round burndown test of a standard PSA Dagger Compact pistol.
