This video from God Family and Guns identifies five firearm categories poised for price increases due to rising ammo costs, potential gun control, supply chain issues, and geopolitical instability. The presenter, demonstrating experienced authority, ranks Military Surplus, 2011s, .38 Special Revolvers, AR-15s, and Glock Handguns as top investment choices before anticipated price spikes.

This video delves into the historical competition between the Ruger Mini-14 and the AR-15, explaining how the Mini-14 outsold the AR-15 in the early 1980s due to its affordability and traditional design appeal. The host, demonstrating high expertise, showcases modern Mini-14 features like the Samson folding stock and bayonet lug, while also comparing its accuracy to the AR-15.

This expert-level comparison by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons evaluates the sound differences between a real XM-177 moderator and a fake flash hider, using a standard M16 as a baseline. The testing highlights the extreme loudness of the fake flash hider and references historical military data to underscore the effectiveness of the original XM-177 moderator in reducing both flash and sound.

Elliott Delp, an experienced firearm enthusiast, recommends three specialized firearms for owners who have mastered the basics. His top picks include a suppressed .300 Blackout AR-15, a tactical AK-47 variant for its 'cool factor,' and the Grand Power Stribog SP9A3G as a fun and cost-effective 9mm Pistol Caliber Carbine. The review emphasizes the importance of proper gas systems and suppression for the .300 Blackout.

This video, presented by Gun Deity, uses satire to humorously critique the iconic 1911 pistol. Initially, the speaker jokingly claims the 1911 'sucks' by comparing its weight, capacity, and perceived recoil unfavorably to modern firearms like the Glock 19 and Hi-Point JHP. However, the video concludes by revealing its satirical nature, with the speaker expressing genuine admiration for the 1911's legendary status, reliability, and historical significance as an American icon.

This video details the unique 'French Finger Trap' issue with the MAS-36 rifle's bayonet, where two rifles can become unintentionally locked together.

Drilling a small hole allows a tool, like a firing pin, to depress the internal spring, enabling the separation of locked rifles.

The M134 Minigun is a scaled-down 7.62 NATO rotary cannon, requiring 24V DC power and consuming 1.5 kW. Its high rate of fire (3,000+ RPM) is essential for aircraft engagement windows. The complex delinker mechanism is critical for feeding ammunition, and practical hand-held use is impossible due to weight and recoil. Live fire demonstrates rapid ammunition consumption and the need for indirect aiming.

The H&K G11 is a revolutionary prototype assault rifle designed in the late 20th century, notable for its caseless ammunition and unique rotating drum bolt mechanism. Despite advanced features like a 2000 RPM burst fire rate and integrated optics, its development was ultimately halted by geopolitical shifts and cost concerns.

This video demonstrates the assembly and live-fire of the German 1936 pattern light mortar (L.Gr.W.36).
