Hi-Point Carbine Oversized Mag Release

This video focuses on upgrading the Hi-Point 995TS carbine with the LongShot Manufacturing DC-MOD lower rail. This innovative rail is designed for dual compatibility, accepting M-Lok, KeyMod, and standard Picatinny mounting systems. The content highlights the versatility of the rail for adding various accessories to the Hi-Point platform. The description also lists several items the creator regularly uses, including steel targets, cameras, editing equipment, hearing protection, ballistic gelatin, and reloading tools, indicating a broader interest in shooting and gear reviews.

This guide details the installation of the High Tower Armory MBS 95 bullpup kit onto a Hi-Point 10mm carbine. The process involves disassembling the original carbine and integrating it into the bullpup chassis, which offers features like an ambidextrous charging handle, M-LOK slots, and a P90-style safety. The conversion results in a heavier trigger pull but allows for tool-less disassembly.

This video compares the terminal performance of five common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) by shooting watermelons. The test demonstrates a significant increase in destructive power from .22LR up to .45 ACP, with the larger calibers causing more explosive expansion and fragmentation. Specific hollow-point ammunition from Speer, Aguila, and Underwood was used, highlighting the importance of bullet construction for terminal ballistics.

Buckeye Ballistics conducted a comparative test of common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) against concrete blocks. The host, demonstrating significant firearm and ballistics knowledge, emphasized extreme safety precautions due to ricochet risks. The test revealed that while larger calibers showed more damage, none could fully penetrate the concrete block's second wall, suggesting limitations for self-defense scenarios against hardened barriers.

This Taurus TX22 review details its performance with various .22 LR ammunition. While initially reliable with CCI Mini-Mags and cycling standard velocity rounds well, it encountered malfunctions with sub-sonic and high-velocity loads. A catastrophic failure occurred due to a squib load followed by a second shot, resulting in a bulged barrel and damaged magazine.

This video compares the terminal ballistics of .22LR, .22WMR, and .17HMR rimfire cartridges using cantaloupes as targets. The .22LR showed a clean pass-through with minor damage, the .22WMR caused an explosive front-face disintegration, and the .17HMR, despite its speed, disintegrated internally with no exit. The test highlights how different rimfire rounds perform on soft tissue simulants.
