This video details the evolution of firearms used by the Falkland Islands Defense Force (FIDF) from 1892 to the present. It covers iconic rifles like the Martini-Henry and Lee-Enfield, the transition to 7.62 NATO with the L1A1 SLR and Sterling SMG, and modern arms such as the Steyr AUG, LMT LM7, and L85A2. Unique FIDF markings on historical weapons are also highlighted.

This analysis debunks Hamas's claims of manufacturing 'Al-Ghoul' sniper rifles in Gaza. The video presented by Hamas appears to be staged, showing machining processes that are either simplified or faked, and likely involves re-boxing imported Iranian AM-50 rifles (copies of the Steyr HS.50) and ammunition. While some components like scope mounts might be locally produced, the core rifle and ammunition manufacturing claims are unsubstantiated.

The Russian VANT ballistic shield, tested by Garand Thumb, demonstrates robust protection against common handgun and intermediate rifle calibers, including 9mm, 7.62x39mm, 5.45x39mm, and 5.56x45mm. While it stops 7.62x51mm, it is defeated by .30-06 AP rounds and completely penetrated by .50 BMG. The shield is noted for its extreme weight but effective performance against non-armor-piercing threats.
