Special Forces Sniper Reviews the M2010 | Sniper Locker | Tactical Rifleman

This short review from Tactical Rifleman highlights the Benelli M4 EXT as the presenter's favorite shotgun, noting its adoption by the Marines. The video showcases the improved M4 EXT model in action at an outdoor range, emphasizing its tactical application. The presenter's authoritative tone and specific mentions of military adoption signal expert-level familiarity with the platform.

This review of the Griffin Armament OPTIMUS 7 suppressor highlights its advanced 3D printing and machining technology, offering low back pressure and durability for under $1000. The presenter, an experienced firearms instructor, demonstrates its effectiveness on both 5.56mm and .300 Blackout platforms, noting excellent sound suppression and minimal gas blowback. The modular design and secure Dual-Lock mounting system are key features.

This video tests ten popular deer rifle calibers using ballistic gel to evaluate terminal performance. The .308 Winchester and 7mm Remington Magnum demonstrated excellent penetration and expansion, while the 6.5 Creedmoor fragmented significantly. The .300 Winchester Magnum over-penetrated, and the .243 Winchester showed the weakest performance.

This video tests the capabilities of two specialized ammunition types, Armor Piercing (AP) and Armor Piercing Incendiary (API), fired from a .300 Winchester Magnum rifle against AR550 steel targets. The creator aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of these rounds beyond standard ammunition and to showcase the durability of TA Targets' steel. The test includes accuracy and velocity measurements for both AP and API rounds, observations of pressure signs, and detailed inspection of the target impacts. The video emphasizes the educational purpose and warns viewers against attempting these dangerous tests at home, also noting the legal restrictions on AP ammunition in certain areas. It concludes by discussing the engineering of steel targets and the relevance of such tests.

This review of the Remington PSR highlights its exceptional modularity, allowing quick caliber changes between .308 Win, .300 Win Mag, and .338 Lapua Mag. The system demonstrates sub-MOA accuracy with minimal point-of-impact shift after barrel swaps. Its design enables field-level maintenance, including barrel replacement, crucial for operational readiness in elite units.

This YouTube Short, titled "The BEST LMG?", appears to be a brief and engaging piece of content focused on light machine guns, specifically mentioning the M249. The hashtags suggest a broad audience appeal, aiming for virality across platforms like YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok. The content likely showcases the M249 in a tactical context, possibly a review or demonstration, from the perspective of Tactical Rifleman, aiming to spark discussion about its effectiveness as a weapon system.

In close-quarters combat, drawing a pistol can be dangerous as an opponent can easily grab the firearm. A tactical knife offers a safer alternative, allowing the user to create space by targeting vital areas like the carotid artery or kidneys. This space allows for a safe transition back to a firearm. The video demonstrates this strategy using a Glock pistol and a fixed-blade knife.

This video details crucial footwork techniques for Navy SEALs during Close Quarters Combat (CQC). It emphasizes 'economy of motion' and the 'long step' technique for balanced entry into corner-fed rooms, ensuring immediate engagement capability. Proper footwork prevents exposing vulnerable side plates and maintains a stable shooting platform.

This video demonstrates a clever modification of standard military cloth bandoliers to increase their magazine capacity. By releasing a hidden white string, the pockets expand, allowing them to hold one or even two 5.56mm magazines each. Special Forces operators pack these expanded bandoliers with other essentials for rapid emergency resupply in the field.

This ballistic gel test compares 9mm Barnes TAC-XPD and .45 ACP Cor-Bon Pow'RBall. The 9mm achieved deeper penetration (13-14 inches) with consistent expansion, while the .45 ACP created a larger wound cavity and significant energy transfer but slightly less penetration. The Cor-Bon Pow'RBall's design enhances feeding reliability in 1911 platforms.
