FNH FN 15 Series Rifles, Tactical Carbine, DMR and SCAR 20 - SHOT Show 2015

The FN15 Guardian is a budget-friendly AR-15 with a 16-inch barrel and 15-inch M-LOK handguard. While its ergonomics and aesthetics are praised, the mil-spec trigger is described as 'terrible,' 'gritty,' and requiring immediate replacement. The rifle also exhibits significant gas blowback during rapid fire, suggesting potential issues with the gas system.

This YouTube video features a comparison between the FN 15 Guardian and the M&P 15 SPORT III, promising an "honest truth." The title suggests a direct evaluation of these two AR-15 platforms, likely covering aspects such as performance, features, and value. The description highlights the creator's commitment to safe filming environments and encourages viewer support through channel memberships and CashApp.

This ballistic test evaluates an excavator bucket's ability to stop various firearms, from handguns to a .50 BMG sniper rifle. While smaller calibers and even .308/ .450 Bushmaster only dented the bucket, the .50 BMG round, including an Armor Piercing Incendiary variant, successfully penetrated the heavy equipment, demonstrating its extreme power.

The M16A4, while an iconic and reliable combat rifle, suffers from a flawed three-round burst mechanism that can lead to unpredictable round counts. Its 20-inch barrel offers excellent velocity for effective fragmentation and armor penetration. Despite its limitations for precision shooting, its robust design and high velocity make it a capable platform.

This review covers the Palmetto State Armory (PSA) M4A1 complete upper assembly, featuring an FN cold hammer-forged barrel and traditional M4A1 sights. The rifle is presented as a functional piece of modern history, appealing to those interested in clone builds. Range performance is demonstrated, highlighting its reliability for shooting sports.

The FN SCAR is a legendary firearm, originating from SOCOM's need for a modular, adaptable rifle. Despite its advanced short-stroke piston system and impressive performance in trials, logistical issues prevented the SCAR-L from fully replacing the M4. The SCAR-H and its variants, like the SCAR 20S, gained prominence, and the platform achieved iconic status through media and civilian 'status symbol' appeal, even as production of legacy models ends.

This video features a former Navy SEAL, Jeff Gonzales, providing expert feedback on a home defense AR-15 build. He critiques the rifle's accessories, particularly the sling, and emphasizes the importance of reliable optics and the benefits of a suppressor for indoor use. The discussion highlights practical considerations for effective home defense firearms.

The Beretta ARX-160, showcased at SHOT Show 2011, is a modular, piston-driven rifle featuring ambidextrous controls and tool-less disassembly. Its design emphasizes adaptability with multiple sling points, interchangeable magazine releases, and a quick-change barrel system. While currently limited to military/defense use, future law enforcement and civilian variants are planned.

Fostech unveiled a 20-round .50 BMG drum magazine for Barrett M107 and 82A1 rifles, constructed from billet machined aluminum. They also introduced the Fostech Rader, a lightweight .308 rifle featuring a proprietary magnesium aluminum alloy and ambidextrous controls. The drum mag is priced at $1599 with a Q3/Q4 availability, while the Rader rifle is expected around $3000 with a Q4 release.

Testing a Remington 158gr SJHP .357 Magnum load from a 16-inch Rossi M92 reveals impressive performance, achieving 1709.6 fps. The round exhibited significant fragmentation and penetration of 20.1 inches in ballistic gel, behaving more like a rifle cartridge due to its velocity. This challenges typical handgun round terminal ballistics expectations.
