This InRangeTV video provides an expert-level comparison between the ACOG and LPVO rifle optics, drawing on real-world competitive shooting experience at High Desert Brutality 2023. The discussion highlights the trade-offs in durability, versatility, and performance at different ranges, with insights from experienced shooters Karl and Jon. It emphasizes how optic choice impacts dynamic shooting scenarios and target acquisition speed.

This review of the WWSD Carbine (What Would Stoner Do Carbine) by Honest Outlaw highlights its design philosophy of creating a lightweight, do-it-all rifle using modern materials. The review details its Faxon carbon fiber handguard, K Arms polymer lower receiver with ambidextrous controls, and fixed A2-style stock. While praising its lightweight nature, reliability, and impressive trigger, the reviewer notes drawbacks such as the non-interchangeable pistol grip and potential for accidental magazine release due to extensive ambidextrous controls.

This video from InRange TV demonstrates the recommended methods for loading and performing press checks on the WWSD carbine, specifically highlighting its lack of a forward assist. The techniques shown are presented as applicable to other high-quality, well-maintained AR-15 platforms. The description also emphasizes that InRange is viewer-supported through Patreon.

This video features Ian from Honest Outlaw discussing the new WWSD Carbine with an unnamed host. Key takeaways include its lightweight design (around 5 lbs), the use of a carbon fiber receiver to mitigate heat transfer, and its compatibility with suppressors. The carbine also boasts integrated ambidextrous controls like a PDQ lever and an enhanced magazine release, with an MSRP between $1600 and $1700.

This YouTube video showcases Stage 2 of the Desert Brutality 2019 competition, featuring Jari, CEO of Varusteleka, demonstrating the stage with a WWSD Carbine and a RDS Glock 19. The video provides a look at competitive shooting scenarios and firearm handling under pressure.

This Q&A video covers a wide range of firearms-related topics, including discussions on advanced recoil systems (AK-107, AN-94), the effectiveness of lever-action rifles in 2-gun competitions, and comparisons between AK-74 and AR-15 platforms. It delves into practical aspects like barrel choice (flash hider vs. brake) for competition carbines, the utility of Pistol Caliber Carbines (PCCs) for home defense and competition, and optimal gear for 2-gun matches. The video also touches on historical firearms (Colt 1851/1860 vs. Remington 1858), the impact of AR-15 magazine constraints on cartridge development, the future of AK platforms under import bans, and the role of binary triggers in PCCs. Other topics include firearm optics, military weapon choices, and the practicality of specific shooting stages.

The WWSD project concludes with a 14.5-inch lightweight AR-15 carbine weighing just over 5 lbs, designed to modernize Eugene Stoner's vision. Key features include a polymer lower for durability and heat management, a carbon fiber handguard, and the omission of BUIS in favor of modern optics and night vision devices. The build prioritizes speed, handling, and reliability with high-quality components like the PDQ lever and KE Arms triggers, offering superior performance at a competitive price.
