Bullpup vs AR Pistol & Carbine Review & Shoot - IWI Tavor 5.56

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.

The Springfield Hellion (VHS-2) demonstrates impressive practical accuracy, successfully engaging targets out to 700 yards despite its bullpup design. While feeling over-gassed, its reliability is attributed to its military-grade design. The review highlights its ergonomic improvements with aftermarket grips and its adoption by several international militaries.

This video showcases a 300 Blackout (300BO) pistol build, specifically a "Krink" style AK pistol, from Palmetto State Armory (PSA). The full video indicates a comprehensive look at the firearm, likely covering its features, assembly, and potentially performance. Given the "Krink" designation, it suggests a compact AK variant, and the 300BO caliber offers unique ballistic properties often favored for suppressed use or specific rifle applications. The "FULL VIDEO NOW LIVE" implies a detailed demonstration and review.

This video reviews the Andro Corp ACI-15, a budget AR-15 rifle priced around $350. The review focuses on its build quality, shooting performance, and reliability for everyday shooters. Key features highlighted include a full Picatinny rail, M-LOK slots, QD sling points, and an ambidextrous safety. While the M4 stock and A2 grip are considered dated, they are easily replaceable. Accuracy was measured at just over 2 MOA with mixed ammunition, which is deemed acceptable for the price point. Reliability proved to be a concern, with feeding issues and brass shavings observed around the 500-700 round mark without cleaning. After cleaning and lubrication, the rifle performed reliably. The reviewer concludes it's a workable starter platform that can be built upon, but it struggles when dirty and ranks lower within the sub-$500 AR market. Results may vary based on individual samples.

This analysis explores the rise of the AR Pistol (ARP) in urban crime, contrasting its concealment advantage with significant ballistic inferiority compared to rifles. Testing reveals an 8-inch barrel ARP achieves ~2150 fps, resulting in a small wound cavity and over-penetration, while a 16-inch rifle reaches ~2750 fps with a much larger cavity and proper energy dump. Despite its popularity among criminals for concealability, the ARP is ballistically compromised.

This video provides an in-depth look at 25 new firearms released in 2026, covering a diverse range from handguns to AR pistols and bolt-action rifles. Expert commentary highlights key features, technical specifications, and MSRPs for models like the Inglis 2035, Smith & Wesson M&P Spec Series VI, Shadow Systems E526, Sig Sauer 516 G3, Adler Arms RF-224, CVA Cascade Rimfire, Langdon Tactical Beretta 80X, Springfield Armory Model 2020 Heatseeker, and Ruger Harrier series. The presentation emphasizes practical applications and design innovations for self-defense, competition, and general shooting.

This video compares the terminal performance of five common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) by shooting watermelons. The test demonstrates a significant increase in destructive power from .22LR up to .45 ACP, with the larger calibers causing more explosive expansion and fragmentation. Specific hollow-point ammunition from Speer, Aguila, and Underwood was used, highlighting the importance of bullet construction for terminal ballistics.

Buckeye Ballistics conducted a comparative test of common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) against concrete blocks. The host, demonstrating significant firearm and ballistics knowledge, emphasized extreme safety precautions due to ricochet risks. The test revealed that while larger calibers showed more damage, none could fully penetrate the concrete block's second wall, suggesting limitations for self-defense scenarios against hardened barriers.

This Taurus TX22 review details its performance with various .22 LR ammunition. While initially reliable with CCI Mini-Mags and cycling standard velocity rounds well, it encountered malfunctions with sub-sonic and high-velocity loads. A catastrophic failure occurred due to a squib load followed by a second shot, resulting in a bulged barrel and damaged magazine.

This video compares the terminal ballistics of .22LR, .22WMR, and .17HMR rimfire cartridges using cantaloupes as targets. The .22LR showed a clean pass-through with minor damage, the .22WMR caused an explosive front-face disintegration, and the .17HMR, despite its speed, disintegrated internally with no exit. The test highlights how different rimfire rounds perform on soft tissue simulants.
