One-Gun Action Match: Stuff & Things "Stizon" Kit

This guide details how to clear a malfunction with a helical magazine, as demonstrated by Ian McCollum during a 2 Gun Action Challenge. It emphasizes safe handling, magazine re-indexing, and re-insertion under pressure. The video highlights the inherent reliability challenges of high-capacity helical magazines compared to standard capacity options.

This video provides a silent, expert-level demonstration of preparing a PP-19 Bizon clone for live fire. It meticulously details the process of loading the unique helical magazine with Scorpio 9mm Luger ammunition, winding its internal spring, and then attaching it to the firearm. The demonstration includes chambering a round and setting the safety selector, showcasing a high degree of familiarity with the weapon's operation and safe handling practices.

This video details the design and prototyping of a novel helical magazine, drawing inspiration from historical designs like the Lewis and Bren guns. The creator demonstrates a 100-round .22LR prototype and discusses plans for a 600-round version using a gear-driven system. Advanced CAD techniques in SolidWorks are shown for creating the complex helical tracks and rotor mechanisms, aiming for high reliability in a custom Gatling-style firearm.

The US-made PP-19 Bizon from LM Ironworks is now available, offering a unique collector's item for firearm enthusiasts and gamers. While expensive at $3,600, it features a functional Bizon receiver and helical magazine, though the current 3D-printed magazines have loading and retention issues. The Bizon, a predecessor to the Vityaz, was originally designed for multiple calibers and is noted for its iconic helical magazine, despite later Russian designs opting for simpler stick magazines.

This video from TFBTV showcases a unique collaboration between Matador Arms and STINC, resulting in the world's first Bizon-style firearm built on an AR platform. The innovative design features a co-developed ambidextrous 9mm billet lower receiver designed to integrate with a helical magazine system, inspired by the Russian PP-19 Bizon. The goal is to merge the familiar AR platform's ergonomics and modularity with the Bizon's high-capacity, compact helical magazine. This development represents a significant advancement in firearm design, blending aesthetics and functionality for a unique shooting experience. The description also highlights TFBTV's viewer support program for monthly gear giveaways.

This video features the American-made PP-19 Bizon from LM Ironwerks, highlighting it as a desirable "bucket list" firearm. The content emphasizes that no firearm sales are conducted through the social media channels, and all firearms are used on a closed range under supervision, remaining unmodified. The video is presented for review and entertainment purposes only. It also includes mentions of the "Live Laugh Larp Podcast" and the creator's social media handles.

This video details the unique 'French Finger Trap' issue with the MAS-36 rifle's bayonet, where two rifles can become unintentionally locked together. A 1951 French arsenal memorandum identified this problem, proposing a simple modification to the bayonet handle. Drilling a small hole allows a tool, like a firing pin, to depress the internal spring, enabling the separation of locked rifles.

The M134 Minigun is a scaled-down 7.62 NATO rotary cannon, requiring 24V DC power and consuming 1.5 kW. Its high rate of fire (3,000+ RPM) is essential for aircraft engagement windows. The complex delinker mechanism is critical for feeding ammunition, and practical hand-held use is impossible due to weight and recoil. Live fire demonstrates rapid ammunition consumption and the need for indirect aiming.

The H&K G11 is a revolutionary prototype assault rifle designed in the late 20th century, notable for its caseless ammunition and unique rotating drum bolt mechanism. Despite advanced features like a 2000 RPM burst fire rate and integrated optics, its development was ultimately halted by geopolitical shifts and cost concerns.

This video demonstrates the assembly and live-fire of the German 1936 pattern light mortar (L.Gr.W.36). It highlights the mortar's leveling mechanism for accuracy and the difficulty in visually tracking its 50mm projectiles after firing. The content showcases historical military hardware and its operational use.
