Ninja Assassin Ammo: Hornady .300 AAC 190gr Sub-X Subsonic Gel Test

This video provides an initial range test and component overview of the custom MOTH300 build in .300 AAC Blackout. It highlights cycling issues with subsonic ammunition and successful function with supersonic rounds, alongside accuracy testing and rapid-fire drills with the FRT trigger. The host promises a more in-depth review in Part 2, focusing on resolving the subsonic feeding problems.

This review highlights the CZ 600+ Trail rifle chambered in .300 AAC Blackout, emphasizing its suitability for suppressed shooting with subsonic ammunition. The video demonstrates the rifle's features, including its threaded barrel, telescoping stock, and the performance of Nosler Match Grade 220-grain HPBT rounds. The CZ 600+ Trail proves to be a quiet and effective platform for engaging targets at a distance when paired with a suppressor.

This review details a ballistic gel test of the .300 AAC 123gr Power Strike ammunition fired from an 8-inch ARFCOM upper. The test revealed significant temporary stretch cavity and explosive fragmentation upon entry, with fragments penetrating approximately 14.2 inches. While this load exhibits less penetration than some alternatives, it offers a potential solution for self-defense scenarios where over-penetration is a concern. The average velocity recorded was 2,376 fps.

This video provides a controlled gel test for the .300 AAC Blackout version of Gorilla's 110gr Controlled Chaos ammunition. Shot from an 8-inch barrel AR-15 platform, the test aims to compare its performance against a previously tested .223 version. Key metrics like penetration (21.2 inches), retained weight (96.8gr), and expansion characteristics are presented, alongside detailed velocity data from a high-speed camera. The video also references an ARFCOM thread for further discussion.

This video conducts a ballistic gel test of Nosler .300 AAC Blackout 110gr Varmaggedon ammunition fired from an 8-inch AR-15 upper with a 1:7" twist barrel. The test measures velocity, penetration, expansion, fragmentation, and retained weight to assess its suitability for defense, particularly against varmint targets. Data on velocity spread, penetration depth, retained projectile weight, neck expansion, and maximum/minimum expansion are presented and analyzed.

This video conducts a gel test to evaluate the long-range performance potential of the U.S. Army's M80A1 EPR projectile. The M80A1 round was loaded into a .300 AAC Blackout case and fired from an 8-inch upper receiver into calibrated 10% ordnance gelatin to analyze its terminal ballistics.

This TFBTV episode identifies the top 5 most reliable firearms across different categories: Glock (handgun), Uzi (SMG), Mauser 98 (bolt-action), Remington 870 (shotgun), and Galil (self-loading rifle). The selections prioritize mechanical simplicity, proven track records, and resilience in harsh conditions, often outperforming more complex designs. The video highlights specific features contributing to their reliability, such as the Uzi's single moving part and the Galil's robust construction.

This review highlights five hilariously impractical firearms for concealed carry. It details the slow, complex loading of black powder firearms, the impractical size of the Mauser C96 and full-size .22 pistols for concealment, and the dangerous accidental discharge flaw in the Type 94 Nambu. The video emphasizes that while historically significant, these guns are unsuitable for modern self-defense.

The Ruger Mini-14 offers distinct advantages over the AR-15, including a lower profile, better stock trigger on modern variants, superior maneuverability with folding stocks, a longer sight radius, and a cleaner piston operating system. Modern Mini-14s also boast improved accuracy (around 2 MOA), cold hammer-forged barrels for durability, and optional all-stainless construction for corrosion resistance. While the AR-15 remains more modular and generally cheaper, the Mini-14 excels in specific areas.

This TFBTV episode reviews five excellent surplus rifles available for under $500, focusing on historical significance and affordability. Featured firearms include the Lee Enfield, Yugoslavian Mauser 98, Swiss K31, MAS 49/56, and a debate between the SKS and Mosin Nagant for the final spot. The discussion highlights unique actions, historical context, and the availability of surplus ammunition.
