Comedians Shoot Machine Guns (#2) Joe Kelley

This video features a comparison between the Franchi LF-57 and the Colt SMG, hosted by Ian McCollum and John Keene. They discuss the pros and cons of each submachine gun, considering factors like ergonomics, reliability, parts availability, and collectibility. While the Colt SMG is technically superior in many shooting aspects, the Franchi LF-57 is favored for its rarity and unique appeal as a collectible item.

This video compares a rare Italian Franchi SMG with a practical Colt 9mm SMG. The Franchi operates on an open-bolt, blowback system and uses Beretta magazines.

This video provides an in-depth review of the B&T APC223 equipped with a Force Reset Trigger (FRT), specifically highlighting its performance and suitability for FRT conversion. The presenters, with significant experience testing FRTs, discuss the APC223's natural cyclic rate, its effectiveness on the slower spectrum of FRT performance, and the benefits of the Gen 1 platform for a softer shooting experience. They detail the modifications required by East Valley Tactical (EVT) for the FRT installation, emphasizing that it's not a simple drop-in part and involves milling of the upper and lower receivers. The review also touches upon the controversy surrounding Rare Breed triggers, which were used in this build, and their legal implications, while also mentioning potential alternatives like Partisan triggers. Despite some initial gripes with the reset's faintness on early versions, they note EVT's responsiveness and ongoing improvements to their FRT systems.

This video provides a detailed look at the M3A1 submachine gun, often called the "Grease Gun." The presenter highlights key improvements of the A1 variant over the original M3, including a beefed-up rear sight, an integrated magazine loader, a redesigned stock for barrel removal, a sturdier charging tab, and a simplified thumb-hole charging mechanism. The video culminates in a full-auto range session, offering practical insights into the firearm's handling and performance.

John Hickok, an experienced firearms instructor, demonstrates the Zastava M92 PV, a legally converted full-auto AK variant. He highlights the NFA's role in restricting civilian access to such firearms and showcases the weapon's performance with both standard and drum magazines. The video emphasizes the AK selector design for quick semi-auto transitions and the manageable recoil of this compact full-auto platform.

This video provides an expert-level accuracy test of the Micro Draco AK, a short-barreled variant imported by Century Arms, chambered in 7.62x39mm.
