338 ARC & the CMMG Dissent -- Is It Better Than 8.6 Blackout?

This video provides initial impressions and performance data for the new 338 ARC cartridge, comparing it to the 300 Blackout and 8.6 Blackout. The CMMG Dissent rifle chambered in 338 ARC is tested for velocity with both subsonic and supersonic loads, demonstrating its potential for suppressed shooting and hunting applications. The presenter highlights the cartridge's design, which allows for similar overall length to 300 Blackout while utilizing a larger diameter bullet.

This video introduces Hornady's new 338 ARC cartridge, highlighting its significant performance increase over the 300 Blackout. The 338 ARC delivers 1.5 times the energy, utilizes a 307-grain subsonic projectile for enhanced penetration, and maintains accuracy out to 400-600 yards with a low velocity spread. A key advantage is its compatibility with 9mm suppressors and pressure-matched subsonic/supersonic loads, minimizing tuning needs.

This review covers the CMMG Dissent in 338 ARC, highlighting its performance with Hornady's new round. The firearm features a compact 6.5-inch barrel, a patent-pending operating system, and utilizes 400 Legend magazines with a 338 ARC follower. While the supersonic 338 ARC round exhibits significant recoil, the subsonic rounds are comparable to 300 Blackout. The review also touches on potential magazine compatibility issues and the firearm's adjustable gas system.

This video provides a head-to-head comparison of the 338 ARC and 300 Blackout cartridges, focusing on subsonic and supersonic ammunition performance. Tests included recoil impulse, water jug impact, and barrier penetration through a truck bed. The 338 ARC demonstrated significantly more energy on target and better barrier performance, while the 300 Blackout offered more controllable recoil for follow-up shots.

This review covers the new 338 ARC cartridge and a Palmetto State Armory (PSA) complete upper assembly designed for it. The 338 ARC offers approximately 1.5 times the energy of 300 Blackout with heavier projectiles, fitting within an AR-15 lower receiver. The PSA upper features an 8.5-inch barrel, pistol-length gas system, and is optimized for suppressed use and close-quarters applications.

CMMG announces their new firearm offerings chambered in the 338 ARC cartridge, compatible with standard AR lowers. The video details various configurations including the Descent, Banshee, and Resolute models, available in multiple barrel lengths and configurations like rifles, braced pistols, and SBRs. It highlights the use of larger projectiles and subsonic capabilities, emphasizing CMMG's integrated 'Zeroed' accessories.

This comprehensive review of the Taurus G2C after a 1,000-round endurance test provides an objective assessment of its performance. The host, demonstrating high authority through detailed testing and analysis, highlights the pistol's surprising reliability for its budget price point, while also addressing its historical brand issues and comparative accuracy limitations against higher-end models like the Sig Sauer P365.

This guide details the assembly of a budget-friendly PSA PA-10 Gen 2 rifle, focusing on purchasing upper and lower receivers separately to maximize savings. It covers the key components of both assemblies, including the barrel, rail, receiver materials, trigger, and stock. The build emphasizes practical components suitable for hunting applications.

This review covers the first 200 rounds fired through the GForce Arms GF25 semi-automatic shotgun. The reviewer, Mark from Fit'n Fire, notes its Turkish origin (Radikal) and AR-15-like controls. While generally reliable with high-velocity loads (1400+ FPS), minor issues like over-sprung magazines and a hot handguard were observed. The GF25 is presented as a potentially viable option for 3-gun competitors seeking an AR-style platform.

This review provides an in-depth look at the Taurus G2C after 500 rounds, highlighting its design, affordability, and surprisingly good trigger performance. The speaker, an experienced reviewer, details specific features that enhance handling and compares it favorably to competitors in its price bracket. The assessment includes practical insights into trigger mechanics and durability, offering a comprehensive perspective for potential buyers.
