The PSA AK-74 is back for REDEMPTION

This video provides an expert-level analysis of 7N6 5.45x39mm ammunition, often referred to as the 'poison bullet,' through a ballistic gelatin test. The demonstration highlights the extreme effectiveness of the 7N6 round, showcasing its significant energy transfer, rapid tumbling, and the resulting 'insane' wound cavity compared to standard 5.45x39mm ammunition. The instructor emphasizes the unique ballistics that contribute to its controversial reputation.

This video conducts a 500-round reliability test on a budget Palmetto State Armory (PSA) AR-15. The creator aims to assess the rifle's performance under sustained range use, focusing on function, recoil, accuracy, and overall durability without relying on marketing claims. The test covers potential malfunctions, ammo consistency, and identifies who this affordable rifle might be suitable for, providing a real-world evaluation beyond typical short-term usage. A build list is also provided.

The PSA Dagger offers an affordable 9mm pistol solution with a unique interchangeable frame system. This review highlights its hybrid design, combining a Glock 17-sized grip with a Glock 19-sized slide. The package includes a spare frame, allowing users to switch between different grip sizes for enhanced versatility.

This YouTube video delves into the quality and performance of Palmetto State Armory (PSA) rifles, questioning if they are "just as good" as other options.

The video appears to be a comparative review or an evaluation of PSA firearms.

This demonstration by Civilian Tactical showcases the significant terminal ballistic differences between standard 5.45x39mm ammunition and the 7N6 'poison bullet'. Through ballistic gelatin testing, the video illustrates how the 7N6 round's design causes immediate tumbling and yaw, leading to a dramatic energy dump and a much larger wound cavity compared to the standard round. The instructor's expertise is evident in the controlled testing and clear explanation of the observed phenomena.

This review of the Palmetto State Armory (PSA) Dagger highlights its unique modularity, offering a Glock 17-sized grip with a Glock 19-sized slide. A key feature is the inclusion of a spare frame, allowing users to easily switch between compact and full-size grip configurations. The presenter demonstrates the quick slide-swapping process and conducts a live-fire test at an outdoor range, showcasing the pistol's functionality and value.

This video demonstrates the proper technique for loading the M1 Garand to prevent 'Garand Thumb'. It emphasizes maintaining downward pressure on the top round to control the bolt's cycling. The content debunks the idea that 'Garand Thumb' is inevitable, attributing it to inexperience and improper handling.

The Altyn helmet, a Russian titanium model, is tested for its ballistic capabilities. While effective against 9mm NATO and 00 buckshot, it fails to stop rifle rounds like 5.56x45mm and .308 Winchester. The visor cracks under birdshot impact. Despite its historical reputation, its extreme weight and lack of rifle protection make it outdated compared to modern composite helmets.

This ballistic test by Garand Thumb reveals that NIJ Level 3A rated ballistic masks, while stopping some projectiles, fail to adequately protect the wearer due to extreme backface deformation. Hits from a .44 Magnum caused fatal deformation, and rifle rounds completely penetrated. The conclusion is that these masks are largely ineffective and potentially dangerous, recommending helmets and proper training instead.

This video delves into the notorious 'Garand Thumb' phenomenon, explaining its mechanics and pain level through direct testing. It covers the M1 Garand's history, technical specifications, and proper loading techniques to avoid injury, including the 'bladed hand' method. The content also features novice testing and concludes with advice on training and firearm ownership.
