22LR Superlong Rifle

This video explores the experimental '22 Super Long Rifle' ammunition, which places a .22LR bullet in a .223 casing. Tested in a Steyr AUG, the custom rounds demonstrated surprising cycling capability with approximately 20% less recoil than standard .223. However, energy output was significantly lower, leading to ricochets and potential malfunctions, prompting a strong caution against attempting such modifications.

The host of Shooting Gear Reviews demonstrates the fabrication of custom exploding slugs for the AEA Zeus .72 cal MKII air rifle. By filling hollow-point slugs with material from .22 caliber exploding pellets and sealing them, he creates projectiles that cause significant fragmentation upon impact, as shown in tests against a concrete brick and a fire extinguisher. The video highlights the extreme power of the .72 caliber airgun and the experimental nature of custom ammunition.

This comprehensive review tests ADI World Class 69gr Sierra MatchKing ammunition across nine different AR-15 barrels. The analysis employs a rigorous methodology, including 30-shot groups at 100 yards and advanced data collection tools, to evaluate accuracy and velocity. The Seekins 16" barrel emerged as the top performer, demonstrating the potential of budget-friendly match ammunition when paired with the right barrel.

Roy Huntington of GUNS Magazine and American Handgunner reviews the RCBS MatchMaster Multi-Cartridge Reloading Block. He highlights its advantages over traditional wooden blocks, emphasizing its stability, multi-caliber compatibility, and design that prevents powder spills. The block's weight and rubber feet ensure it stays put, while its spacing accommodates reloading tools.

This video demonstrates testing a CMMG Zeroed 9mm suppressor on an AR-15 platform, initially shown on a G-Force Arms Jaba. The experiment reveals that while the suppressor is designed for 9mm, it can be used on a .223 AR-15, though it gets very hot. The reviewer notes significant sound reduction, effective recoil mitigation, and reduced gas blowback to the face, comparing the sound to unsuppressed .22LR.

This unboxing and overview of the Volquartsen Black Mamba 22LR by 1st Shot Tactical highlights its competition-ready features. Built on a Ruger Mark IV 22/45 frame, it boasts a striking green camouflage Cerakote finish, an integrated compensator that virtually eliminates recoil, and a threaded barrel for suppressor use. The pistol comes with a variety of customization options, including different recoil springs and a light trigger pull averaging 2.5 pounds, making it ideal for both competitive shooters and those seeking a high-end, enjoyable rimfire experience.

This comedic skit humorously emphasizes the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It illustrates a handgun malfunction, specifically a stovepipe, and uses a visual gag with a spent casing to drive home the safety message. The creator showcases tactical gear and a Sig Sauer P365 XL, demonstrating firearm handling in a range environment.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, against a tree. Surprisingly, even the powerful .50 BMG round failed to penetrate the tree completely, demonstrating the significant stopping power of natural barriers against firearms.

This video explores the hypothetical concept of using a human body as a suppressor, simulating the scenario with ballistic gel. A Derya Arms .22 rifle is fired into a ballistic gel head, with the host noting the shot sounded 'dead silent'. The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head.

This test evaluates the ballistic protection of a Belgian M1 steel helmet against various calibers. While it stopped birdshot, .22, and .380 Auto rounds, it failed to defeat 9mm and .223 Remington rounds, indicating it is not suitable for protection against common handgun or rifle threats.
