Armscor Ammo Issues *WARNING*

This video provides an in-depth accuracy test of the CMMG .22LR conversion kit for AR-15 platforms, comparing its performance to standard 5.56/.223 ammunition. The instructor, with apparent experience in firearms testing, details the impact of rifle twist rates on .22LR accuracy and evaluates several .22LR ammunition types at 50 yards. The results indicate an average group size of approximately 2.5 inches, with CCI Standard Velocity performing best, highlighting the kit's suitability for plinking and training rather than precision shooting.

This review covers the Rock Island Pak-Out 12, a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun from Rock Island Armory. Its primary feature is a folding receiver and barrel design, making it exceptionally compact for storage and transport. The content includes visual evidence of the shotgun in both its deployed and folded states, as well as footage of it being fired. The presenter recommends external resources for detailed performance reviews.

This video provides a critical review of the Glock 44, highlighting significant reliability and durability issues reported by users, including cracked slides and catastrophic failures. It suggests the 22TCM9R conversion kit for the Glock 17 as a potential alternative for those seeking a .22 caliber experience with a more robust platform. The assessment comes from an experienced firearms reviewer known for his field testing and technical understanding.

This review tests the .22 TCM 9R conversion kit for the Glock 17, achieving rifle-like velocities (1700s fps) from a pistol. Ballistics gel tests show significant wound cavities and penetration, rivaling some 9mm loads. The host concludes it's the most powerful .22 caliber handgun round he's encountered.

Martin Twon of Armscor introduces the 22 TCM 9R conversion, a round designed to fit 9mm overall length specifications. This conversion allows for the use of the 22 TCM cartridge in Glock frames (Generations 1-3) when paired with a Rock Island top end. It boasts impressive ballistics, achieving 2000 feet per second with minimal recoil, and is presented as a cost-effective and powerful alternative to other cartridges.

This video features test firing of an Armscor 9mm pistol. The shooter is comparing the accuracy of handloaded ammunition against standard FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) rounds. The content focuses on the practical application of different ammunition types in a specific firearm model and caliber, likely aimed at enthusiasts interested in reloading and firearm performance.

This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides a practical, albeit unconventional, comparison of five common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) by shooting watermelons. The expert demonstrates varying levels of terminal performance, from the .22LR's significant splitting to the .45 ACP's complete watermelon fragmentation, highlighting the differences in hydraulic shock and expansion. The test utilizes specific hollow-point ammunition, including Speer Gold Dot, Aguila Super Maximum, and Underwood XTP, showcasing their effects.

This video provides a practical, safety-conscious comparison of common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) against concrete blocks. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, details the testing methodology and results, emphasizing the risks of ricochet. None of the tested pistol calibers fully penetrated the concrete block's second wall, suggesting their limitations for certain penetration scenarios.

This review of the Taurus TX22 .22 LR pistol details its features, including a 16+1 capacity and excellent trigger. While initial testing with CCI Mini-Mags was flawless, subsequent tests with various ammunition types revealed cycling issues and culminated in a catastrophic failure. The failure was attributed to a squib load followed by a second shot, causing a barrel bulge and ruptured casing, highlighting potential ammunition inconsistencies. The review provides a detailed look at disassembly and damage assessment.

This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides an experimental comparison of three popular rimfire calibers: .22LR, .22WMR, and .17HMR, using cantaloupes as ballistic mediums. The host, an experienced shooter, demonstrates the distinct terminal ballistics of each round, highlighting how bullet construction and velocity affect target interaction. The comparison offers practical insights into the performance differences between these rimfire cartridges on soft tissue simulants.
