Amber and Doshie from Exile Armory showcase a wide array of new firearms and accessories. The video features various pistols, rifles, shotguns, and suppressors from brands like FN, Q, Bergara, Springfield Armory, and Beretta, with detailed pricing and some technical specifications provided. The presentation is casual and informative, highlighting new inventory for customers.

This review tests the effectiveness of suppressing the .17 HMR round. Despite using a Volquartsen VT2 rifle and a suppressor, the high supersonic velocity of the .17 HMR creates a significant sonic crack, rendering it poorly suited for quiet suppression. The test confirms that even with hearing protection, the suppressed .17 HMR remains loud.

John Lovell reviews the FN PS90, discussing its nostalgic appeal and the growing appreciation for the 5.7x28mm caliber. He critiques the integrated iron sights for their impracticality due to a small rear aperture. While admitting he might prefer the money back, Lovell justifies ownership through its iconic status and 'artificial enthusiasm'.

This video presents a 100-yard ballistics gel test of four different 7.62x39mm ammunition types: Sabre Blade Black Tip, Hornady SST, Federal Soft Point, and a Speer Gold Dot handload. The test is conducted using a Ruger Ranch Rifle with a 16-inch barrel. The video aims to visually demonstrate projectile expansion and penetration in ballistic gelatin for each load, providing insights for firearm owners interested in terminal ballistics of this common caliber.

This ballistic gel test by Buckeye Ballistics examines the performance of Speer Gold Dot 9mm 124gr +P ammunition across various barrel lengths (3.3" to 10.5"). The results demonstrate how increased velocity from longer barrels affects bullet expansion and penetration, with surprising outcomes at extreme velocities.

This video features a ballistic gel test and review of Speer Gold Dot ammunition in the 5.7x28 caliber. The creator uses various equipment, including steel targets, cameras, and safety gear, all of which are linked in the description. The test likely demonstrates the performance of the ammunition, including penetration, expansion, and retained weight, as is typical for ballistic gel evaluations.

This review covers the Mossberg Maverick 88, a budget-friendly 12-gauge pump-action shotgun, highlighting its simplicity and reliability for home defense. It details a comparison with the Mossberg 500/590, a full field strip, and the use of the Opsol Mini-Clip adapter with Aguila Minishells to increase capacity and ensure reliable cycling. Range tests confirm the adapter's necessity for 100% Minishell reliability.

This test evaluates Federal Syntech Defense 9mm SJHP ammunition using a Canik Mete MC9 and Glock 17. The ammo consistently segmented into three petals and a core, with the core penetrating 18-18.5 inches and segments stopping around 9 inches. Velocity averaged 1033 fps from the MC9 and 1094 fps from the G17, demonstrating high consistency.

The Taurus Model 856 in .38 Special is a capable snub-nose revolver, offering a smooth trigger and good accuracy for its class. It performs well in both single and double-action at typical defensive ranges, with comfortable grips aiding recoil management. The 856 proves to be a reliable and aesthetically pleasing option for concealed carry or self-defense.

This review tests three .380 ACP ammunition types in a Ruger LCP Max with a heavy clothing barrier over ballistic gel. The Winchester 95gr FMJ, Underwood 90gr Xtreme Penetrator, and Federal 99gr Hydra-Shok Deep were evaluated for penetration and expansion. Despite being FMJ, the Winchester proved to be the most effective due to superior penetration, outperforming premium defensive rounds that failed to expand.
