What is 35 Remington? Is it a Brush Gun?

This expert-level entry defines a 'brush gun' as a firearm optimized for highly maneuverable, short-distance engagements (under 50 yards), primarily for hunting. It debunks the myth that traditional heavy calibers like .45-70 and .30-30 are immune to brush deflection, explaining that any significant obstruction can alter a bullet's path. The ideal brush gun is characterized by its maneuverability and often features red dot or peep sights for quick target acquisition.

This video tests various rifle calibers to determine their effectiveness when shooting through brush. The key takeaway is that heavier, slower bullets (like .44 Magnum or .577/450 Martini-Henry) are less prone to deflection and tumbling than lighter, faster rounds (like 7.62x39mm or .30-30 Winchester). Mass is identified as the most critical factor for a reliable brush gun.

The Freedom Ordnance FG-15 offers a unique trigger crank mechanism integrated into an AR-15 grip, allowing for rapid firing by rotating a deployable crank. This piston-driven system engages the trigger bar mechanically, providing a novel approach to firearm modification. While innovative, its potential NFA implications and mechanical complexity suggest it's for experienced users.

This review showcases the PKM 7.62x54R machine gun, highlighting its full-auto capability and belt-fed mechanism. The video demonstrates the loading process and sustained fire, offering close-up views of the weapon's internals and ammunition.

This video clarifies the terminology between 'silencer' and 'suppressor,' noting 'silencer' is the original patented term. It demonstrates that suppressors reduce sound to around 130 dB, not silence, and discusses their role as hearing protection tools rather than crime enhancers. The process of legally acquiring a suppressor under the NFA, including the $200 tax stamp and lengthy wait times, is detailed, advocating for the Hearing Protection Act.

Using a suppressor on a home defense firearm is generally inadvisable due to the severe noise levels that can cause hearing damage and disorientation. This can lead to dangerous miscommunication with household members, potentially mistaking the defender for an intruder. While suppressors offer benefits, their use indoors without proper precautions poses significant risks to oneself and others.
