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.

Micah Mayfield reviews the Stenzel SAK-21, a modernized 7.62x39mm rifle with a unique aesthetic and oversized controls. While the SAK-21 offers faster reloads due to its magwell and a smooth-shooting experience with its short-stroke piston, it suffers from significant issues with magazine followers and trigger slap on adverse gas settings. The rifle's high price point of $4,000 is also a major consideration.

This video clarifies the concept of 'trigger slap' in firearms, demonstrating that a rapid trigger pull to the rear wall, rather than a jerky slap, maintains muzzle stability for accurate follow-up shots. It highlights the difference in muzzle movement between a controlled fast pull and an actual slap, using an AR-15 platform for demonstration.

The Zenith ZF-56, a 5.56 rifle based on the HK53/33 design, suffers from significant reliability issues, including frequent malfunctions, violent recoil, and catastrophic case ejection failures. Despite its roller-delayed blowback system, the rifle exhibited persistent problems across various magazines and suppressor configurations. Ergonomic issues like an unreachable magazine release and a safety lever that detached during testing further compounded the disappointment, leading to a strong recommendation against purchase.

This short video critiques a shooter's poor one-handed technique, highlighting 'finger slapping' the trigger. Nikko Ortiz humorously mocks the shooter's formal bow after firing, questioning their perceived skill.

This YouTube video features a first-look review of the Ruger LCP MAX pistol, comparing it to the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 380. The reviewer highlights the LCP MAX's significant capacity increase (10 rounds) for a pocketable firearm, potentially changing the game for deep concealment. While acknowledging its effectiveness as a 'get off me' gun with good sights, the reviewer notes noticeable recoil snap and trigger slap, though not considered deal-breakers. The video is geared towards individuals seeking a highly concealable pistol for everyday carry or self-defense scenarios.

The CMMG Dissent PDW in 9mm utilizes a buffer-less, internal recoil system housed in the upper receiver, allowing for compact designs and folding stocks.

The fast cycling action can lead to trigger slap, which may necessitate a stiffer trigger for defensive applications.

This review of the Century Arms WASR-10, an AKM-patterned rifle from Romania, highlights its improved trigger, compatibility with AKM furniture, and performance at 100 yards. The reviewer, demonstrating significant expertise in AK platforms, notes its reliability with Tula ammo, decent accuracy averaging 4-5 MOA, and a price point around $1000, while also addressing common AK ergonomics and magazine fitment issues.

This review of the Diamondback DB9 Gen 4 9mm pistol highlights its extremely compact size, making it comparable to .380 ACP pocket pistols. Key upgrades include improved texturing and a better trigger, though the slide is noted as difficult to rack. The firearm demonstrated 100% reliability in testing, with the reviewer finding it more accurate than a Glock 43 and a masterable pocket 9mm at a competitive price point.
