The Jard J68 is a bullpup pistol caliber carbine chambered in 9mm, offering surprisingly good accuracy and a pleasant shooting experience with minimal recoil. While its downward brass ejection can be inconvenient, the firearm's fun factor, excellent trigger, and potential for accuracy make it a noteworthy option for range enthusiasts. The review highlights its performance with various ammunition types at 50 yards.

This video details an experimental test by Matt Carriker of Demolition Ranch, assessing the effectiveness of .458 SOCOM ammunition against AR500 Armor Level 3+ steel plates. The test reveals that while individual rounds may not penetrate, the cumulative kinetic energy of multiple .458 SOCOM impacts can eventually cause the steel plate to shatter. The experiment highlights the limitations of body armor against sustained high-energy rifle calibers.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of the .458 SOCOM cartridge's power, comparing its muzzle energy, velocity, and projectile weight against common rifle and shotgun calibers. The VSO Gun Channel host utilizes a chronograph and detailed charts to objectively present the data, establishing the .458 SOCOM's position relative to other popular options.

PolyCase Ammunition announced the launch of Ruger-branded 38 Special ammunition featuring their ARX projectile at the 2016 NRA Annual Meetings. This ARX projectile is designed to minimize recoil in lightweight, compact revolvers. Additionally, PolyCase is launching a joint project with Alexander Arms, offering a 200-grain ARX projectile in 50 Beowulf under the INCOR brand, marketed as a premium hunting round.

This video reviews PolyCase ARX ammunition, highlighting its unique polymer and copper dust projectile construction. The ammunition is designed for defensive purposes, creating a significant wound cavity through a kinking effect rather than expansion. Tested in a Springfield XDS, the .45 Auto, 114-grain rounds achieved 1150 FPS, demonstrating reduced felt recoil, making it a potentially suitable option for compact concealed carry firearms.
