This guide details a practical test of AR-15 A2 rifle functionality in extreme cold (4°F). It compares dry, CLP-lubricated, and Rem Oil-lubricated states, including a simulated freezing water test. The findings suggest that while all rifles eventually functioned, excessive CLP can cause sluggishness in extreme cold, recommending a light coat for rust prevention and reliability.

This video explains a rare firearm malfunction: a detonation during remedial action clearing on a 2011 pistol. The incident involved an exploded case, a deformed primer, and a hand injury from the slide. The speaker, Ben Stoeger, discusses potential causes like primer striking the ejector, emphasizing that this is not a common occurrence but has been noted with .40 S&W calibers historically.

This video discusses the pros and cons of revolvers compared to semi-automatic pistols. It highlights revolvers' simplicity and reliability in certain failure scenarios, while also pointing out their lower capacity and longer, heavier double-action trigger pull as significant disadvantages. The discussion touches on common revolver malfunctions and the learning curve associated with mastering their triggers.

This video details an experimental test of vintage Baikal 12-gauge shotgun shells with paper hulls, chambered in an Escort pump-action shotgun. The test revealed significant reliability issues, with multiple failures to fire due to light primer strikes. The content serves as an observational demonstration of potential problems with aged ammunition.

This video details an experimental attempt to detonate a .50 BMG cartridge by striking its primer with a .22 LR bullet from a Standard Manufacturing G4S rifle. The host, identified as a firearms enthusiast and tactical gear reviewer, demonstrates the setup and execution of the test.

The creator is seeking viewer opinions and plans to produce more content in the future. The video's title suggests an emotional experience related to the firearm's performance issues.

This review of YAF and Barnaul .410 slugs highlights significant performance issues. The Barnaul ammunition exhibited light primer strikes and failure to eject in a Rossi youth model shotgun, suggesting hard primers. While the YAF slugs showed better reliability, both ammunition types demonstrated poor accuracy at 25 yards, with groups ranging from 5-6 inches for YAF and a 3-inch group for Barnaul at the same distance, making them unsuitable for longer ranges.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of the Springfield Armory XDs recall, featuring live fire testing by a highly authoritative instructor.
