This video from Brass Facts explores 'failed states' using Papua New Guinea (PNG) as a case study for societal collapse (SHTF) scenarios relevant to the United States. It highlights the absence of state law in rural PNG, where the 'Wantok' system of tribal/family networks provides security and social order. The analysis suggests that in a collapse, robust community networks are more critical than high-end gear.

This video explores the effectiveness of blast shields on a Draco AK pistol.

The .300 Blackout caliber excels with suppressors, offering versatility with subsonic and supersonic loads.

The analysis highlights the importance of proper torque specifications and potentially thread-locking compounds when mounting optics on high-recoil platforms.
