Gun Quieter Than a Bow and Arrow #shorts

This video showcases a diverse collection of firearms, from a scoped Smith & Wesson Model 629 revolver to a historical Pedersoli Brown Bess musket. It also features modern pistols like the Beretta Tomcat and PMXs, an FN 509 Tactical, and an SKS rifle. Demonstrations include various loading techniques, optic comparisons with Holosun sights, and suppressed shooting.

This Backfire LLC #shorts video debunks a politician's claim that an AR-15 weighs as much as 10 moving boxes and shoots .50 caliber bullets. The AR-15 typically weighs around 6.5 lbs, and most variants chamber .22 caliber rounds like 5.56mm, not .50 caliber. While rare AR-15s can chamber .50 Beowulf, this is distinct from the common .50 BMG.

This short demonstrates the destructive power of a 12-gauge shotgun using ballistics gel. Slow-motion footage reveals 7.5 shot pellets traveling at 1300 fps, creating a 5-inch deep wound with a 1-foot spread from approximately 350 lead balls. The video also dissects a shell, highlighting the wad and gunpowder responsible for the impact.

The used gun section can reveal firearms that owners regret purchasing, often due to excessive recoil. A Browning X-Bolt Pro Featherlight in .300 RUM, despite its high-end features and cost, is frequently resold because the caliber's extreme recoil makes it unpleasant to shoot. This highlights the importance of considering practical shooting experience over raw ballistics when choosing a rifle.

This video explores the viability of .22LR for self-defense, comparing its performance against 9mm. While .22LR offers significantly less recoil, aiding in sight picture recovery, its penetration capabilities are notably inferior. Ballistics gel tests and a tuna can penetration experiment demonstrate that .22LR from a pistol lacks the velocity for effective expansion and penetrates fewer barriers compared to 9mm.
