GLOCK DOES IT AGAIN

Brandon Herrera's SHOT Show edition of Gun Meme Review covers new firearm releases and industry trends. Key highlights include FN's updated SCAR platform with M-LOK handguards and suppressor support, KAK Industry's novel belt-fed AR-15 upper, and EOTech's new HWS EXPS3 HD optic with a rotary dial and shake-awake feature. The review blends technical details with humorous commentary on industry pricing and gun culture memes.

This review details a ballistic gel test of Seismic Ammo's 9mm Quakemaker +M 185-grain rounds. The test, conducted by an experienced firearms instructor, evaluated performance through a heavy clothing barrier using a Ruger PC Charger and an HK SP5. The results indicated significant tumbling and a complete failure of the projectile to expand, leading to poor penetration performance and a negative recommendation for self-defense.

Amber from Exile Armory showcases a diverse range of firearms, including pistols like the Canik Mete MC9 Pro and various Smith & Wesson models, alongside rifles such as the Browning BAR and Ruger American Gen 2. The video also highlights shotguns from Tristar and ATI, and specialized firearms like the Savage Renegauge Turkey. Additionally, suppressors from Sierra and Polonium are featured on sale, offering significant savings.

This video, presented by an experienced firearms instructor, identifies 10 firearm models struggling to sell in the current market, with predictions of continued poor performance into 2026. It details specific issues like unreliability, poor brand perception, high ammunition costs, and market saturation for each model, offering insights into why certain firearms become undesirable investments.

This review explores the modern Heckler & Koch SP5 loadout, detailing its historical significance and contemporary upgrades. It covers the transition from 9mm SMGs to AR-15s in law enforcement, the SP5's modern configurations with EOTech sights and Magpul furniture, and the UTG Pro monolithic rail system. The discussion also touches on the SP5's suitability for home defense and its appeal to collectors.

The HK SP5, a semi-automatic MP5 clone, proves its 'gold standard' status after 500 rounds with zero malfunctions, even when suppressed and uncleaned. Its 8.9-inch cold hammer-forged barrel optimizes 9mm velocity, and the roller-delayed blowback action ensures low recoil and high reliability. While expensive at around $3,000 MSRP, its iconic status, durability, and performance justify the cost for enthusiasts.

This video tests the 'magic bullet' theory surrounding the JFK assassination using a 6.5 Carcano rifle and a ballistic skull. Recovered bullets showed less deformation than expected, challenging assumptions about the original evidence. The test highlights the unpredictable nature of bullet performance after impact.

This video tests a Pedersoli Baby Philadelphia Derringer replica, the type used by John Wilkes Booth to assassinate Abraham Lincoln. The test demonstrates the .45 caliber black powder pistol's surprising close-range power, capable of penetrating a beverage can and causing significant fragmentation in a ballistic dummy head. The analysis compares the impact to historical accounts of Lincoln's skull fragments, highlighting the effectiveness of historical firearms.

This video compilation highlights critical firearm safety failures, emphasizing the dangers of ignoring basic rules. It features incidents like accidental discharges due to poor recoil management on revolvers and unsafe reholstering practices. The content serves as a stark educational tool, warning against dangerous internet trends and reinforcing the importance of responsible gun handling to prevent life-altering injuries.

This video analyzes the assassination attempt on Donald Trump by replicating the shooter's AR-15 setup and the Secret Service's counter-shot. It debunks conspiracy theories by demonstrating the difficulty of the initial shot and the terminal ballistics of both the attacker's and defender's rounds using high-speed footage and ballistic dummies. The analysis emphasizes that a precise ear-only shot from that distance with the described rifle is highly improbable.
