I Got a Brand New Hi Point Rifle with Whistlin Diesel

This video showcases the Meridian Defense Corp 'Pestilence' AK-47, highlighting its custom battle-worn finish and legal barrel length configuration. The core of the review involves a unique projectile stopping test using large balls of Christmas lights, demonstrating their effectiveness against various calibers from .22LR up to .50 BMG. The AK-47, both suppressed and unsuppressed, is tested against the light balls, with significant penetration observed from larger calibers.

This review compares a $450 Pioneer AK-47 against a $2,000 Arsenal SLR-107FR, revealing significant performance differences. The Arsenal achieved 1.2 MOA accuracy, while the Pioneer struggled at 9.5 MOA. Muzzle rise was also notably less on the Arsenal. Despite the Pioneer's lighter weight and lighter trigger pull, the Arsenal's superior build quality and parts resulted in a much better shooting experience.

This review dives deep into Brandon Herrera's AK-50, the first AK-platform rifle chambered in .50 BMG. It features a detailed comparison with the AK-47, highlighting scaled-up components and internal differences. Live fire testing demonstrates manageable recoil for its caliber and impressive destructive power, even when compared to a .50 BMG pistol.

This video tests the PSA Sabre 10 rifle's ability to fire incorrect ammunition, specifically 7.62x39mm in a .308 Winchester chamber. While the rifle successfully fired the round without catastrophic failure, the spent casing underwent significant 'fire-forming' to adapt to the larger chamber. The action did not cycle, highlighting a potential safety and reliability issue when mixing ammunition types.

This review explores the functionality of an extremely short AR-15 build featuring a 4.75-inch barrel chambered in 5.56. Despite initial skepticism about cycling reliability and significant muzzle flash, the firearm demonstrated surprising performance, cycling reliably even with a very short gas system. The build was equipped with a Vortex AMG UH-1 sight and Magpul furniture.

The MP5SD features an integrally suppressed design using a vented barrel to slow supersonic 9mm rounds to subsonic speeds, significantly reducing noise. This review details its engineering, compares its sound signature to a standard MP5 with an aftermarket suppressor, and demonstrates field stripping. The video highlights the effectiveness of its unique suppression system for elite units.

This video explores the AirForce Texan SS, a suppressed .45 caliber big bore air rifle, and the Sam Yang Dragon Claw .50 caliber air rifle. It highlights how these powerful airguns, despite their significant energy output (around 500 ft-lbs for the Texan SS), are not legally classified as firearms, allowing their integrated suppressors to bypass NFA regulations. The review includes sound comparisons, accuracy tests at 100 yards, and penetration demonstrations, showcasing their surprising effectiveness.

This video features former Special Operations sniper Nicholas 'The Reaper' Irving demonstrating various firearms and sharing combat insights. Key takeaways include the performance of the Barrett M107A1 and SR-25, the extreme recoil of the S&W 500 Magnum, and the effectiveness of .50 BMG rounds against an engine block. Irving's expertise as a decorated sniper significantly enhances the technical depth of the content.

This expert guide details the dangerous consequences of firing incorrect calibers in handguns, as demonstrated by firearms instructor Matt Carriker. It covers firing .380 ACP in a 9mm, 9mm in a .40 S&W, and .223 Remington in a .40 S&W, highlighting malfunctions like failure to cycle, bulged casings, and blown-out necks due to improper headspacing and lack of chamber support. The video emphasizes the critical importance of using the correct ammunition for firearm safety and function.

This review by Demolition Ranch tests the ballistic resistance of Flex Tape against various firearms, including the FN PS90 and CZ Scorpion. The experiment demonstrates that even significant layers of Flex Tape are easily penetrated by common calibers, highlighting the limitations of improvised ballistic materials. The video features expert handling and detailed explanations of firearm mechanics and ballistics.
