Will it still Fire? (Loctite Lube)

This entry details an experiment where Loctite 243, a threadlocker, was used as a firearm lubricant on a Beretta 92FS-style pistol. The adhesive caused a complete malfunction after a short period, jamming the action. The key takeaway is that adhesives should never be substituted for proper firearm lubricants, as they will cause the weapon to seize, necessitating professional gunsmithing.

This guide details the installation and function of a Nielsen device, also known as a recoil booster, essential for reliable semi-automatic pistol operation with a suppressor. Expert Ian McCollum explains its necessity for recoil-operated systems, contrasting them with fixed-barrel designs. The device uses a spring-loaded piston to decouple suppressor mass, allowing proper barrel tilt and cycling, as demonstrated with examples like the Lionheart Vulcan 9 and Glock pistols.

The creator, experienced in firearm handling and tactical gear, reinforces this essential safety message.

This video features a 'bulletproof' test where a tree is used as a ballistic medium to test various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating high-level firearms expertise, shows that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG can be significantly stopped by a dense tree, with none of the tested rounds achieving a complete pass-through. The test highlights the surprising terminal ballistics of different ammunition types against natural barriers.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the concept of using a human body, simulated with ballistic gel, as a suppressor. The host fires a Derya Arms .22 rifle directly against a ballistic gel head and block, noting the shot sounded 'dead silent.' The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head and into the gel block.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test on a Belgian M1 steel helmet, evaluating its resistance against various calibers from birdshot to .223. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical Host, shows that the helmet is not bulletproof against common handgun and rifle rounds like 9mm and .223. The host's energetic and demonstration-oriented style, coupled with expertise in tactical gear, provides a clear assessment of the helmet's limitations.
