This review covers a custom-built, ultra-compact 12-gauge shotgun pistol, highlighting its garage-built origins and simple design. Testing reveals significant power and recoil, necessitating mini shells and manual extraction. While potent, its extreme inaccuracy and painful shooting experience render it a novelty rather than a practical firearm.
The RN-45 is a custom-built firearm by Royal Nonesuch, featuring a unique blend of parts including a Sten Mark III receiver, M3 Grease Gun bolt, and AK-style stock. High-speed footage reveals feeding issues and occasional misfires due to cartridge bounce in the chamber. The build's rate of fire is confirmed at 465 RPM.
This video showcases a modified Sig Sauer M17 capable of full-auto fire, highlighting its rapid rate of fire and recoil management. The demonstration, performed by Edwin Sarkissian, features the firearm being discharged into water, emphasizing the unique nature of this NFA-regulated modification. It also briefly mentions the involvement of Richard, also known as Royal Nonesuch, in achieving this modification.
This video concludes the RN-50 blow-up analysis, identifying the primary cause as the use of fast-burning pistol powder instead of slow-burning .50 BMG powder. Mark Serbu demonstrates how this error can create pressures exceeding 400,000 PSI, far beyond the rifle's design limits. The analysis includes comparisons with standard .50 BMG loads and even high explosives, using simulations and analogies to explain the catastrophic failure.
This video captures a humorous and somewhat tense moment when Royal Nonesuch is pulled over by law enforcement. The description highlights the friends' reaction to the situation and suggests the driver may have been profiled for his vehicle. While the interaction with the police was resolved amicably without a ticket, the experience prompts a reflection on profiling and encourages viewers to share their own cop stories. The creator also directs viewers to their secondary gun channel.
Mark Serbu provides a preliminary analysis of the RN-50 incident, debunking the 85,000 PSI failure rumor by calculating thread shear pressure at 161,520 PSI. He confirms production RN-50 breech caps are heat-treated, unlike an old prototype. The analysis suggests the failure was likely due to counterfeit SLAP ammunition, possibly loaded with incorrect powder, rather than a design flaw.
This video reviews the RN-12 Shotgun Pistol, presented as a unique and potentially damaging firearm, though not practical for everyday use. The reviewer highlights its ability to be constructed from hardware store materials. They discuss its potential as a 'liberator' weapon in adverse scenarios, emphasizing the ubiquity of shotgun shells as ammunition. The video is a collaboration with Richard (Royal Nonesuch).
This video features a review of the RN-50 firearm with guest Royal Nonesuch. The discussion delves into the history of the RN-50 and uncovers some of its lesser-known aspects. The collaboration suggests a focus on firearm history and potentially practical insights.
This video tests a custom .50 BMG arrow designed to fire its round upon impact. Initial tests with a recurve bow failed due to the round falling out, but a successful ignition was achieved after securing it with tape, causing a significant explosion on a car door. Further tests showed dangerous ricochets and poor accuracy due to the arrow's extreme weight distribution, making it unsuitable for precise targeting.
This video explores the plausibility of Fallout 4's pipe guns by comparing them to real-world improvised firearms. A functional 12-gauge slam-fire shotgun was constructed for $20 and tested, proving lethal at close range. Technical inconsistencies in the game's caliber choices for revolvers and semi-autos are highlighted, contrasting with the effectiveness of simple, improvised designs in survival scenarios.
This video is a re-upload of a previous "GB-22 Plan Update" featuring Royal Nonesuch. The description explicitly states that there are no links provided, and viewers will need to conduct their own research if they are interested in the subject matter. The content appears to be a follow-up or updated discussion on the "GB-22 Plan."
This video showcases a 100% homemade 9mm firearm, inspired by the 'Grease Gun' design, built primarily from hardware store components and utilizing Glock magazines. The firearm employs a simple blowback action and demonstrated reliability by successfully firing a 28-round magazine without malfunctions. It's noted for its accuracy up to 200 yards with iron sights.
