This video conducts a scientific ballistics and kinetic energy experiment comparing the 6mm ARC and 6.5 Grendel cartridges by shooting water jugs at distances from 300 to 600 yards. The 6mm ARC demonstrated superior energy transfer and a flatter trajectory, transferring more energy and expanding sooner than the 6.5 Grendel. The test highlights the 6mm ARC's potential advantages for mid-range and longer-range shooting applications.

This video details a Vietnam-era M16A1 kit build, featuring a suppressed configuration inspired by historical MACV-SOG and Navy SEALs units. The build utilizes an Allen Engineering M4 suppressor, a clone of the Sionics MAW-A1, and demonstrates its effectiveness at 200 yards. The instructor emphasizes critical safety protocols, particularly the mandatory use of hearing protection.

This guide details the assembly of a budget-friendly AR-15 rifle, focusing on cost-effective component selection without compromising core functionality. The build prioritizes investment in critical parts like the barrel and BCG while saving on furniture and lower receivers. It highlights performance data, including accuracy with various ammunition types and the impact of heat on sustained fire accuracy.

This entry details a 'budget' AR-15 build from T.REX ARMS, costing around $1,500, and its use in a two-day training event. It covers practical camouflage, zeroing, and competition stages including barricade shooting and long-range engagements. The guide emphasizes that a 'budget' firearm offers high value for training, competition, self-defense, and durability, aiming for a 10,000+ round lifespan.

This video, part 5 of a series, documents the rebuilding and testing of a fire-damaged AR-15. The firearm was reassembled using original parts where possible, with replacements only occurring after malfunctions. The goal was to assess the usability of components after exposure to fire. The video highlights the generosity of the firearms community through donations that funded necessary repairs and shipping. While the repaired rifle is deemed unsafe for serious use, the owner is provided with a new rifle, emphasizing the safety and well-being of the owner and his family. The video also shares a link to how the situation was discovered and provides links to previous parts of the series.

This guide, based on expert insights from Brownells and Sons of Liberty Gun Works, details the critical aspects of selecting and inspecting AR-15 lower parts kit components. It emphasizes that material quality, proper heat treatment, and precise manufacturing tolerances for parts like springs, detents, and fire control groups are crucial for rifle reliability and longevity. Proper inspection prevents common assembly issues and ensures optimal firearm function.

This video from the Brownells Vault features a deep dive into the Chinese Type 64 pistol, a unique firearm developed in the early 1960s. Unlike pistols with external suppressors, the Type 64 boasts an integral suppressor with rubber baffles and brass mesh, alongside an expansion chamber below the barrel. It fires a dedicated rimless .32 caliber (7.62x17mm) cartridge, similar to .32 ACP. The pistol can also be configured for single-shot operation by locking the slide. The featured example has a notable provenance, having been acquired by Mitch WerBell, a renowned figure in OSS, espionage, and silencer development, who obtained it after an assassination attempt in Vietnam.
