Emperor Arms SR5: Torture Test 400 Shells

This video from Kentucky Ballistics puts the Glock 19 Gen 5 and a variant referred to as 'Gen V' through a rigorous torture test. The test includes endurance firing, drop tests, water submersion, and extreme environmental challenges like mud and sand. The host, Scott DeShields, demonstrates high-level expertise in destructive firearm testing, concluding that both models exhibit legendary Glock reliability despite minor design differences.

This video details a comprehensive torture test of the Desert Eagle Mark XIX, conducted by Scott from Kentucky Ballistics. The firearm was subjected to extreme conditions including water submersion, snow burial, mud immersion, and sand burial. Despite some malfunctions in mud and sand, the Desert Eagle demonstrated notable resilience, functioning after water and snow exposure. The test highlights the firearm's robust construction and the importance of understanding its limitations under adverse conditions.

This video details an extreme torture test of the Wilson Combat EDC X9 2.0 pistol, subjecting it to drops, impacts, sand, and mud immersion. The test aims to evaluate the firearm's durability and reliability under harsh conditions, simulating scenarios where a firearm might become compromised in real-world use. The results indicate the EDC X9 2.0 demonstrates significant resilience, though performance is impacted by extreme contamination.

This video details a comprehensive torture test comparing the reliability of the new Glock Gen 6 against a Gen 3 Glock and an M&P 2.0. The tests included drop tests, submersion, freezing, and extreme dirt/mud exposure. The Gen 6 Glock demonstrated strong performance across most tests, particularly excelling in submersion and freezing, while the Gen 3 struggled with water and mud. The M&P 2.0 initially performed well but faltered in the mud test, ultimately leading to a close comparison between the Gen 6 and M&P 2.0 for overall reliability.

This comprehensive torture test pushes a new Beretta Silver Pigeon 686 Sporter to its limits, simulating extreme environmental and physical abuse. The assessment, conducted by an expert with high authority, reveals the shotgun's remarkable durability, with the action loosening up after rapid firing and the gun functioning even after submersion in mud and grit. While minor cosmetic damage like a fore-end crack occurred, the core mechanics and barrel alignment remained intact, highlighting the robust engineering of the 680-series platform.

This video details a comprehensive torture test of the Glock 19 Gen 6, conducted by a professional firearms reviewer on Garand Thumb's range. The test includes subjecting the pistol to being run over by an ATV, submersion in mud, and abrasion from being dragged behind a UTV. The review highlights the firearm's resilience, noting specific failures like a broken plastic rear sight and malfunctions caused by mud, but ultimately demonstrating its ability to remain functional after rigorous abuse.

This guide details a DIY technique for creating 'poor man's slugs' by cutting birdshot shotgun shells, a method historically used for defense and hunting during times of scarcity. The process involves carefully cutting the shell casing to create a projectile that functions similarly to a slug. The video demonstrates the technique on a Beretta 1301 tactical shotgun and discusses the importance of cut accuracy for flight stability and potential reliability issues in semi-automatic firearms.

This video demonstrates critical firearm safety failures, including poor muzzle awareness, lack of trigger discipline, and unsafe handling in a residential environment. The individual exhibits difficulty with basic firearm manipulation, culminating in a negligent discharge indoors. It serves as a stark warning against improper firearm handling and the importance of professional training.

This guide details the process of creating a DIY wax slug from standard birdshot, as demonstrated by the 'Collapse N Protect' channel. The modification involves melting wax and pouring it over the shot to create a cohesive projectile. The video highlights the increased effectiveness of this DIY slug compared to traditional birdshot, particularly in its ability to concentrate energy on the target, as evidenced by its success in shattering a cinder block. The creator also humorously notes the potential for using scented wax to alter the range's odor.

This video from Collapse N Protect, featuring an instructor with high authority, experimentally tests whether 12-gauge shotgun shells mounted on a plate carrier will explode when shot. The tests, using birdshot, buckshot, and Dragon's Breath rounds, demonstrate that while shells can be breached and their contents spilled, they do not detonate or explode without primer ignition and the compression force typically provided by a firearm's barrel. The explanation highlights the essential components and conditions required for a shell to fire.
