I Can't Believe Israel Used These Bullets

This review from TFB TV explores Sako's new AR-15 platform rifles, designated ARG 40 and ARG 50. These rifles are being adopted by the Finnish and Swedish militaries as service and sniper rifles, respectively. The review highlights their direct impingement and piston operating systems, ambidextrous features, and accuracy standards, offering insights into Sako's advanced firearm manufacturing.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of AR550 steel using a .300 Winchester Magnum (300WM) with M61 ammunition at close range. The description strongly advises against attempting this at home, emphasizing that it is for testing purposes only. The content likely focuses on the destructive power of the ammunition against a specific type of ballistic steel.

Clint Morgan provides an expert review of the DS Arms SA58 Improved Battle Rifle, highlighting its evolution from a classic design to a modern platform. He details its technical specifications, ergonomic enhancements like an ambidextrous magazine release and adjustable stock, and its performance with the .308 cartridge. Morgan also touches upon the historical context of the FAL and advocates for Second Amendment rights, specifically referencing Gun Owners of America's efforts.

Amber from Exile Armory presents a diverse inventory of firearms and accessories, including the Sig Sauer MCX Spear, various suppressors from Dead Air and Q, and a range of rifles and handguns from brands like Daniel Defense, BCM, and Glock. The video highlights new arrivals, specialty firearms, and used inventory, offering a glimpse into the current market for tactical and recreational shooting equipment. Amber's energetic presentation and detailed product knowledge signal a high level of expertise regarding firearms.

The Armalite AR-16 is a rare prototype chambered in 7.62 NATO, bridging the gap between the AR-10 and AR-18. It features a short-stroke gas piston, dual recoil springs, and a unique 5-aperture rotating rear sight. Only two AR-16s are known to exist, making it a significant piece of Armalite's design history.

The Armalite AR-16 represents a crucial, yet often overlooked, step in rifle development, bridging the gap between the AR-10 and the AR-18. It pioneered the use of stamped sheet metal receivers and a short-stroke gas piston system to reduce manufacturing costs. Though never mass-produced, its design innovations significantly influenced subsequent combat rifle designs like the L85, Steyr AUG, and G36.

This comparison tests the .50 AE Desert Eagle against the .44 Magnum in various barrier tests, including wood, steel, sand, and concrete. While both calibers showed impressive power, the .50 AE demonstrated superior performance in ballistic gel with deeper penetration and a larger wound channel. Ultimately, the video questions if the .50 AE's marginal gains justify its significantly higher cost per round compared to the versatile .44 Magnum.

This video provides a detailed comparison between .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition, demonstrating their performance differences through rigorous barrier testing. While visually identical, 5.56 NATO shows a slight advantage in velocity and energy. Crucially, 5.56 NATO exhibits superior barrier penetration against lumber and steel, whereas .223 Remington struggles. Specialized rounds like M855A1 also show enhanced performance against sand barriers.

This video tests the lethality of various 'less lethal' shotgun rounds, including rubber buckshot, bean bags, and specialized projectiles. The .410 rubber buckshot demonstrated significantly higher velocity and penetration than 12-gauge versions. Bean bag rounds proved to be the most damaging, causing substantial plywood destruction and ballistic gel displacement, leading the host to conclude they are the most lethal 'less lethal' option.

This video compares 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP through various barrier tests including lumber, sand, and concrete, alongside ballistics gel testing. While all calibers performed similarly through most barriers, the .40 S&W showed slightly better penetration and expansion in ballistics gel. The host ultimately favors 9mm due to its lower recoil and higher capacity, despite the .40 S&W's respectable performance.
