This video debunks the myth that all cheap ammo is bad, recommending HSL Ammunition reloads for 9mm and .223, and Federal Field & Target for 12-gauge as reliable budget options. It warns against Blazer Aluminum .38 Special and steel-case 9mm due to potential firearm damage from split cases. Winchester NATO and PMC are noted as reliable, slightly pricier bulk choices.

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 provides a side-by-side comparison of the Luger P08 and the M1911A1, detailing their magazines, ammunition, and loading procedures. It includes live-fire demonstrations at an outdoor range, showcasing the handling and safety mechanisms of both iconic pistols. The expert handling suggests a high level of proficiency with these vintage firearms.

This video provides an in-depth review and range test of a TRIARC 16" AR-15 upper receiver with approximately 3500 rounds fired. The analysis includes a detailed bench inspection with borescope footage, examination of gas port size, BCG, and chamber gauging. At the range, the performance is evaluated through 30-shot group testing with three types of ammunition: PMC 55gr M193, IMI 77gr Razor Core, and Hornady 73gr ELD Match. The video presents velocity data, standard deviation, muzzle energy, and precision metrics, culminating in an A-ZED score for comparison with other AR-15 barrels. Sponsors for the video include Danger Space LLC and Teslong Borescope.

This video demonstrates that a firearm round detonating outside the barrel, often called a 'cook-off,' is not as dangerous as commonly perceived. An experiment showed that a 9mm FMJ round heated to detonation point did not penetrate a cardboard box, with shrapnel contained. The video then transitions to practical application, showing how to safely clear a simulated firearm malfunction and re-engage targets.

Yoki Sturrup showcases her two Barrett .50 BMG rifles, the M107A1 ('Baby D') and M82 ('Big Mama'). She details the M107A1's advantages, including a better recoil system, and highlights the significant investment required for such platforms, with her M107A1 setup costing approximately $13,735 including a Nightforce 5-25x56 scope. Live fire demonstrates the rifle's recoil management and the powerful concussion of .50 BMG rounds.

This video demonstrates the US-made Sig Sauer 551A1, a variant of the Swiss SG 551. It highlights the rifle's operation, including loading 5.56 NATO rounds and chambering with a side-charging handle. The demonstration features live fire at an outdoor range, showcasing recoil and reliability during rapid fire.

Buying ammunition in bulk, similar to shopping at Costco, offers significant cost savings. The video highlights two main types: factory NATO ammunition from brands like PMC and Winchester for reliability and long-term storage, and loose bulk ammunition for high-volume range use, with HSL Ammunition being a recommended source for 9mm. Understanding the difference between new and remanufactured rounds is key for range ammo.

This review of the Glock 30 highlights significant reliability issues, including multiple jams and 'nose-dives,' leading to a negative verdict for EDC. While acknowledging its 'pocket rocket' potential and the effectiveness of .45 ACP, the speaker cites excessive recoil and frame size as contributing factors. The video also features a custom AR-15 build showcase.

The PSA AK-101 is an American-made AK variant chambered in 5.56mm, featuring classic wood furniture and a side-folding stock. It demonstrated reliable cycling and accuracy with PMC X-TAC 5.56mm ammunition during range testing against steel targets.

This experiment tests the water resistance of various live ammunition types submerged for up to a month. While many rounds remained functional, performance degraded over time, with 9mm target loads failing first, followed by 12 Gauge shells and eventually .22 LR. Speer G2 9mm with sealed primers and some .223 Remington variants showed superior durability.

This video discusses Blackwater contractors operating in Iraq and recounts the Battle of Najaf. While not a traditional firearms review, it touches on the operational context where firearms would be prevalent and utilized. The focus is on the historical events and the role of private military contractors in conflict zones.
