This guide details three common rifle shooting blunders and their fixes, focusing on structural integrity and recoil management. Key takeaways include proper shoulder contact, avoiding blading or standing upright, and the correct use of the support hand to prevent over-controlling the rifle. Mastering these techniques ensures more consistent shot placement and recoil mitigation.

This video is not relevant to firearms instruction. It humorously depicts a floor collapse during a home renovation, highlighting a safety failure in a construction context. The content is purely for entertainment and does not offer any educational value regarding firearms.

This video addresses the common concern of whether leaning a firearm barrel against a surface can cause it to bend or warp. The instructor definitively states that this is not a practical concern under normal circumstances. The structural integrity of a firearm barrel is robust enough to withstand leaning against walls or being stored in racks without deformation, as long as no excessive force is applied.

This video showcases an extreme durability test of the Alien Gear Holsters' Rapid Force Duty Holster. Conducted at Coeur Climbing Co., the holsters were mounted to a climbing wall and used as primary holds by a 175 lb climber. The test demonstrated the high-impact polymer construction's ability to withstand significant dynamic force, supporting the climber throughout the route.

This video features Nikko Ortiz reacting to a structural failure where a lofted bunk bed collapses due to a hammock being attached. The content highlights the importance of proper construction and weight distribution in furniture, especially when modifications like adding hammocks are considered. It serves as a cautionary tale about DIY projects and the potential dangers of inadequate structural support.

This video details critical design differences between the 1870 and 1874 Austro-Hungarian Gasser revolvers, focusing on structural weaknesses in the 1870 model. The 1870's open-top design, reliance on an arbor screw, and iron construction create a critical failure point near the breech, making it unsafe to shoot. The 1874 model, by contrast, likely addresses these issues through improved materials and construction, though specific details are not elaborated.

This video showcases a man falling through a floor due to poor structural integrity. Nikko Ortiz reacts with shock and humor, highlighting the importance of proper subflooring and home construction. The content serves as a cautionary tale about building safety.

This guide details the experimental procedure for testing the dangers of a squib load, as demonstrated by 1ShotTV. It outlines the setup for remote firing a Glock 17 with an induced squib load to assess firearm integrity and potential hazards. The expert-level demonstration emphasizes safety protocols and provides critical insights into firearm failure modes under extreme stress.

This video demonstrates the destructive power of a .50 BMG round against a large termite mound in South Africa. Mark Serbu, a gun designer, uses a South Africa-legal BFG50A variant with a 22-inch barrel to test the mound's resistance. The experiment highlights the surprising toughness of the mound and the effectiveness of using a muzzle brake to create significant internal pressure, ultimately causing the mound to collapse.

This video shows a white truck crashing through a residential house. Nikko Ortiz reacts with shock and humor, commenting on the truck's durability versus the house's structure. The content is not instructional regarding firearms.

This video details a stress test on a 3D printed firearm, the Orca, using a push-up method to simulate extreme forces. The test reveals the material limitations and structural weak points of the printed components, particularly highlighting the difference in performance between polycarbonate and carbon fiber nylon clips. The instructor demonstrates how to apply stress and analyzes the failure points, offering insights into the durability of 3D printed firearm designs.

This guide details the initial test firing of the 'Le Gros Chungus' prototype, a 3D printed frame for the FN Herstal FNS-40 pistol. The process involves visual inspection, assembly, and controlled firing into a specialized trap at an indoor range to assess structural integrity and cycling reliability. The test was deemed successful as the slide locked back after the final round, demonstrating the functional viability of the 3D printed component.
