The Guns of John Wick! Taran Tactical Pit Viper, Combat Master, and TR-9

Joe Rogan tests the Taran Tactical Pit Viper 2011, describing it as the 'smoothest gun of all time' with minimal recoil, comparing its ease of shooting to 'cheating.' The firearm demonstrated flat shooting characteristics and rapid cycle rates during live fire at a Taran Tactical Range, impressing Rogan with its precision and performance.

This video showcases the Taran Tactical Innovations (TTI) Pit Viper, famously featured in John Wick 4. It highlights the pistol's unboxing with thematic John Wick accessories, preparation for range use, and a rapid-fire mag dump demonstrating its flat shooting and recoil management. The TTI Pit Viper is a custom 9mm handgun with a 5-inch barrel, 22+1 capacity, and a high MSRP.

Jon Bernthal and Thomas Jane, both famed for playing The Punisher, participated in an intense shooting session at Taran Tactical. They demonstrated high-speed drills with custom firearms like the TTI Pit Viper 2011 and Genesis Gen-12 shotgun. Taran Butler provided expert coaching, highlighting their speed, accuracy, and tactical movement during the drills.

This video features Joe Rogan and Taran Butler demonstrating and discussing the TTI Pit Viper and Genesis Gen-12 firearms, notably used in John Wick 4. Taran Butler, a world-class shooter and designer, highlights the Pit Viper's exceptionally smooth shooting characteristics and innovative 'island barrel' technology. The Genesis Gen-12 is presented as a reliable, AR-platform-based 12-gauge shotgun. The discussion touches on competition performance and shooter preferences for iron sights.

This video debunks the myth that an AR-15 round would 'blow off' an ear by conducting a practical experiment with pig ears. The results show that even high-velocity rounds like 5.56mm and .223 Remington, as well as heavier calibers like 45-70 and 8.6 Blackout, create small, clean holes through thin tissue, similar to a hole punch. The host explains this is because the tissue is too thin for the bullet to transfer enough energy for catastrophic cavitation, unlike in ballistics gel.

This short showcases high-performance 'Space Guns' from the Open Division at the Double Tap Championship. It highlights custom 2011-style pistols, specialized race holsters from brands like Safariland and Double Alpha Academy, and features a first-person view of a shooter using a frame-mounted red dot optic during a stage. The video emphasizes the advanced technology and customization involved in top-tier competition handguns.

Tim Herron, a USPSA Grand Master, explains efficient iron sight usage by contrasting traditional front sight focus with a target-oriented approach. He advocates using the rear sight for gross aiming and the front sight for fine-tuning, likening it to a backhoe vs. spade. Training with red dots can improve iron sight performance by fostering target focus.

This review compares the Staccato P, Springfield Armory Prodigy, and Bul Armory Tac 4.25, focusing on manufacturing, ergonomics, trigger, and shooting dynamics. The Bul Armory Tac 4.25 demonstrated superior reliability with tested ammunition and offered the crispest trigger. The Prodigy was the softest shooting but had a noticeable grip safety gap and feeding issues. The Staccato P offered a good balance but was also susceptible to feeding issues with certain ammo.
