This video debriefs a shooting session featuring the Kel-Tec RFB and PMR-30, highlighting performance observations and potential issues. The RFB is praised for its ergonomics and lightweight feel, though trigger feel and horizontal shell ejection are noted as subjective drawbacks. The PMR-30 experienced some jamming, attributed potentially to magazines, but overall reliability was discussed. The session also included practical shooting drills and commentary on the challenges of shooting in adverse conditions like wind and unstable barricades.

Quick Summary

The Kel-Tec RFB is praised for its excellent ergonomics and lightweight feel, handling like a lighter carbine. However, its trigger is considered indistinct and unpredictable, potentially impacting accuracy. The PMR-30 experienced some jamming, possibly due to magazines. Shooting in windy conditions and from unstable barricades significantly increases difficulty, even for experienced shooters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main performance characteristics of the Kel-Tec RFB?

The Kel-Tec RFB is noted for its excellent ergonomics and surprisingly lightweight feel, making it handle like a lighter carbine. However, its trigger is described as indistinct and unpredictable, which can hinder accuracy, especially at longer ranges. Horizontal shell ejection is also a unique characteristic.

Did the Kel-Tec PMR-30 experience any reliability issues during the shoot?

Yes, the PMR-30 experienced some jamming during the session. The participants speculated that the magazines might be the cause, as the firearm seemed to function better with different magazines. Further testing would be needed to confirm the exact cause of the malfunctions.

How does the shooting experience differ in adverse conditions like wind and unstable barricades?

Shooting in windy conditions and from unstable barricades significantly increases the difficulty of hitting targets. The instability of the platform and the wind's effect on the projectile require advanced shooter skill and can lead to numerous misses, even for experienced individuals.

What are the key differences in trigger feel between the Kel-Tec RFB and the M1A Socom?

The Kel-Tec RFB's trigger is described as indistinct and hard to predict when it will break. In contrast, the M1A Socom features a military-style two-stage trigger that is very predictable, making it easier for shooters to achieve accuracy, particularly at longer distances.
