Testing The Plastikov

This review evaluates the Long-shot Harlot .22LR, a 3D-printed pocket pistol, comparing its 3-inch barrel version with a red dot sight to the standard model. Live fire tests on a reactive target and accuracy assessments beyond 25 yards suggest surprisingly good performance for its class. While acknowledging the .22LR's limitations for self-defense, the speaker concludes it can be effective with precise shot placement.

This review of the Hungarian AMD-65 highlights its historical context as a compact rifle for specialized units, later adopted by the entire Hungarian army. While the 7.62x39mm caliber and short barrel offer manageable recoil for the shooter, the aggressive muzzle brake produces significant concussion and side blast, making it unpleasant for bystanders. Ergonomics are criticized, particularly the wire folding stock's poor cheek weld and the rapid heating of the handguard.

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.

Brandon Herrera reviews his first AK, the Hungarian AMD-65, a compact variant designed for armored troops and paratroopers. He details its unique features like the wire folding stock, exposed gas tube, and aggressive muzzle brake that significantly reduces recoil but creates a large flash. The video also covers practical issues such as magazine compatibility with the forward pistol grip and the speaker's early modification mistakes.

Brandon Herrera showcases his custom 6.5 Creedmoor AK build, demonstrating its long-range accuracy by hitting a White Claw can at 200 yards. He details the conversion process from a Saiga 308, highlighting the use of a custom barrel, EOTech Vudu scope, Magpul PRS stock, and a Sureshot handguard. The video also covers tuning the KNS adjustable gas piston for suppressed shooting and asserts the AK platform's potential for precision.

This review delves into a rare, authentic Russian-made RPK74, acquired from the Larry Vickers collection. Brandon Herrera and Administrative Results discuss its technical evolution from the 7.62x39mm RPK to the 5.45x39mm RPK74, highlighting the benefits of its heavy barrel and 24-inch length for sustained fire and ballistics. The video also touches on the rarity of these rifles in the US market and features a ballistic test of surplus 7N6 ammunition.

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.
