This analysis explores the rise of the AR Pistol (ARP) in urban crime, contrasting its concealment advantage with significant ballistic inferiority compared to rifles. Testing reveals an 8-inch barrel ARP achieves ~2150 fps, resulting in a small wound cavity and over-penetration, while a 16-inch rifle reaches ~2750 fps with a much larger cavity and proper energy dump. Despite its popularity among criminals for concealability, the ARP is ballistically compromised.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of the expensive Raufoss .50 BMG round against steel plates, comparing it to cheaper Israeli API rounds. The Desert Tech HTI rifle, a compact bullpup, is used for testing. While both rounds penetrate 1.25-inch steel, neither fully penetrates 1.75-inch steel, though the Raufoss shows a more significant incendiary effect.

This video compares the terminal ballistics of two powerful subsonic heavy bullets: the Steinel 700gr .50 Beowulf and the Steinel 730gr .45-70 Government. Testing in ballistic gel and plywood reveals that while both rounds possess significant momentum, the .45-70 demonstrated deeper penetration in sand and a near-plywood penetration after gel, suggesting 'skinny' bullets can outperform 'wide' ones at subsonic speeds. Recoil was comparable, with the .45-70 slightly higher.

This video tests the extreme capabilities of a 2.5 oz 'Seismic' 12 gauge slug against a standard 1 oz slug. The heavier slug demonstrates significantly higher momentum, capable of toppling steel target stands and causing severe damage to mild steel. It also shows impressive penetration in ballistic gel and concrete, though it fragments on hard impacts. The recoil is calculated to be extremely high, comparable to heavy safari rifles.

This video showcases a unique firearm inspired by Han Solo's iconic DL-44 blaster from Star Wars, but chambered in the more accessible .22LR caliber. The creator, with support from CMMG, demonstrates this fun plinking pistol, embracing the spirit of May the 4th. The description also features promotional mentions for Lone Peak Overland, OpticsPlanet, Silencer Central, Americana Pipedream Apparel, and DARQ INDUSTRIES, indicating potential for gear reviews or sponsorships.

This video tests the lethality of various 'less lethal' shotgun rounds, including rubber buckshot, bean bags, and specialized projectiles. The .410 rubber buckshot demonstrated significantly higher velocity and penetration than 12-gauge versions. Bean bag rounds proved to be the most damaging, causing substantial plywood destruction and ballistic gel displacement, leading the host to conclude they are the most lethal 'less lethal' option.

This guide details the advanced tuning process for a custom 300 Blackout AR-15 build, specifically focusing on achieving reliable operation with subsonic ammunition. The video, presented by a knowledgeable firearms instructor, covers component selection and adjustment, including gas system tuning with an adjustable block, buffer weight selection, and spring choices. It emphasizes the importance of proper tuning for different ammunition types and highlights potential issues like trigger pin security.

The 8.6 Blackout significantly outperforms the .338 ARC in barrier penetration, demonstrating superior performance against concrete and mild steel. Its 1:3 twist rate enables impressive bullet expansion and wound cavities, especially with subsonic loads, while the .338 ARC struggles in these areas. The 8.6 Blackout also benefits from standard AR-10 magazine compatibility, offering higher capacity than the .338 ARC's reliance on .400 Legend magazines.
