This video introduces the X-PRT90, an innovative three-position progressive FRT trigger for the FN P90 SBR. The trigger offers distinct modes: a semi-automatic function with minimal trigger force in the FRT position, and a 'full-send' mode for continuous firing by pressing through the initial pull. The presenter, demonstrating clear expertise, highlights its unique design compared to other FRT systems for platforms like Glocks and AKs.

Mark Serbu, a firearm designer with extensive experience, reviews a 9mm AR-15 upper. He details the use of Glock magazines with a magwell adapter and analyzes the impact of bolt velocity on trigger slap, particularly in full-auto configurations. Serbu demonstrates how a heavy buffer and stouter spring can significantly reduce the rate of fire and improve handling, comparing it to factory Colt designs and noting the jarring bolt impact even in semi-auto.

This review of the Flux Raider chassis system by a Navy SEAL highlights its potential to augment pistol performance, offering rifle-like handling and improved accuracy at range. The system integrates features like a spare magazine foregrip and ample rail space for accessories. While acknowledging its thoughtful design, the reviewer suggests improvements for brace ergonomics and length of pull.

This video demonstrates the controllability of a Glock pistol equipped with a full-auto switch, comparing its performance as a standalone handgun versus when installed in a Meta Tactical Apex carbine chassis. The host, PewView, highlights significant muzzle climb and wider shot groups in the handgun configuration, while the chassis dramatically improves stability and accuracy. The expert assessment notes PewView's advanced recoil management and familiarity with NFA items, indicating a high authority level.

The Yankee Marshal identifies forced reset triggers (FRTs) on handguns as the most concerning trend from Shot Show. He explains that while innovation is generally appreciated, FRTs push handguns towards uncontrollable, near-automatic fire, posing significant safety risks for self-defense and accelerating firearm wear. This trend caters to a desire for faster shooting but introduces substantial control and durability issues.

Atrius Development Group introduces their Force Reset Selector (FRT), a drop-in safety selector designed to enhance semi-automatic capability. The FRT aims to increase the performance threshold for enthusiasts while navigating legal challenges. The company urges Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to adopt this technology to ensure its accessibility and legality.

This video provides an expert review of the Ambient Arms EXO suppressor, highlighting its innovative heat management system utilizing ambient air intake ports. Instructor Mike Jones demonstrates its significantly lower operating temperature compared to traditional suppressors like the Surefire RC2 through a 'mag dump' and thermal testing. The review also touches on the suppressor's design, materials (Titanium and Inconel), and sound signature.

This video showcases the Colt IAR (Infantry Automatic Rifle) in a suppressed, full-auto configuration, utilizing the Fire Team 556 system. The demonstration highlights the weapon's smooth operation and manageable recoil and noise, even during sustained fire. The speaker, exhibiting expert-level knowledge of firearms and tactical applications, provides insights into the IAR's history as a competitor in military trials.

This video showcases the Western Airguns Sidewinder PCP rifle, demonstrating its full-auto capability with rapid fire on exploding and paper targets.

This video compares the rate of fire across three distinct machine guns: the slow Sten Mk II, the manageable HK MP5, and the extremely fast full-auto Glock 18. Lena Miculek, a professional competitive shooter, demonstrates each firearm's cyclic rate, offering insights into their practical applications and handling characteristics. The comparison highlights the significant differences in cyclic speeds and their impact on shooting experience.

This video demonstrates aerial gunnery with an M134 Minigun operated from a helicopter. It highlights the weapon's high rate of fire and stabilization, showcasing target engagement on a desert range. The footage includes a close-up of the operator's controls, emphasizing the spade grips and safety switches.

This video showcases the iconic MP5 submachine gun in full-auto action, unleashing 1,000 rounds. It features a direct comparison of semi-auto versus full-auto accuracy, tests the durability of common items against MP5 fire, and evaluates the controllability and on-target performance during rapid fire. The video also examines the rate of fire, heat buildup, and reliability during sustained strings, with notes on the PTR-9CT platform and HK receiver. It includes a link to an MK18 SBR build list and contains a strong disclaimer about safety and responsible use.
