This video delves into determining the maximum effective range of firearms by analyzing velocity, energy, and mechanical limitations, a concept taught by Adrian of Sidewinder Concepts. It highlights how the transonic range significantly impacts projectile stability and predictability, emphasizing that while hits can be scored beyond this zone, repeatability decreases. The discussion contrasts high-performance rifles with cartridges like 7.62x39, illustrating how factors like ballistic coefficient and wind greatly influence long-range accuracy and effective terminal energy delivery.

This video from Iraqveteran8888's Gun Gripes series explores the extreme limits of firearm durability. Hosts Eric and Barry demonstrate through destructive testing that most firearms are significantly stronger than commonly believed and require extreme intentional measures to fail. They highlight the surprising resilience of budget firearms like Hi-Points and discuss the safety margins built into firearm designs, contrasting manufacturer tests with their own educational, destructive experiments.
