What's it DO? Linear Comp/ Blast Device

The Ultradyne Apollo Max muzzle brake demonstrates superior recoil reduction compared to suppressors, achieving a 55% mechanical energy reduction versus the Energetic VOX S's 21%. Tested on a CMMG Dissent using a custom rig, the Apollo Max resulted in a mean recoil angle of 16.3 degrees, significantly less than suppressed (20.8 degrees) or unsuppressed fire (25.3 degrees). Its jam nut attachment system is highlighted for improved alignment and repeatability over crush washers.

This video provides a one-year follow-up review of the RifleSpeed Gas Control adjustable gas block. The content focuses on long-term testing and evaluation of this firearm component. It highlights the VSO Gun Channel's approach to objective product testing, emphasizing that the channel is an educational resource and not involved in firearm sales. The description also promotes various VSO social media platforms and their Patreon/Subscribe Star channels.

This video is the third installment in a recoil testing series from VSO Gun Channel, directly comparing the effect of a suppressor versus a simple weight on firearm recoil. The description highlights previous episodes focusing on an Ultradyne brake and a collection of 30 caliber suppressors, indicating a recurring theme of ballistic performance and accessory evaluation. The channel emphasizes its role as an educational resource for responsible gun ownership and safety, with a focus on objective testing and evaluation. The video likely aims to visually demonstrate the practical differences in recoil mitigation between these two distinct accessories.

This video is Part 2 of a series focusing on devices that reduce recoil, specifically testing suppressors to determine which is best at this task. The content promises a recoil test with mathematical analysis. The description also highlights Kore Essentials as a sponsor and provides links to various VSO Gun Channel platforms and resources, including an affiliate page with product discounts, Patreon, Subscribe Star, and social media channels.

This video from the VSO Gun Channel features the AB Suppressors Raptor, a suppressor with a unique reflex design. This design allows it to mount over the barrel, increasing its internal volume to achieve sound suppression levels that would otherwise be impractical. The description emphasizes VSO's role as an educational resource for responsible gun ownership and safety, highlighting their objective testing and evaluation services. They state they do not sell firearms or accessories and reserve creative rights to publish both positive and negative aspects of tested products.

This video reviews the Taurus TH10, a new full-size handgun chambered in 10mm. The review highlights the firearm's entry into the 10mm market and its suitability for self-defense against both human threats and bears. It also touches on the physics of bullet energy, comparing 10mm to 9mm in terms of bullet weight and velocity, and debunks the concept of 'knock down power.' The description also includes affiliate links and information about the VSO Gun Channel's media production and testing services, emphasizing their commitment to objective and educational content.

The Freedom Ordnance FG-15 offers a unique trigger crank mechanism integrated into an AR-15 grip, allowing for rapid firing by rotating a deployable crank. This piston-driven system engages the trigger bar mechanically, providing a novel approach to firearm modification. While innovative, its potential NFA implications and mechanical complexity suggest it's for experienced users.

This review showcases the PKM 7.62x54R machine gun, highlighting its full-auto capability and belt-fed mechanism. The video demonstrates the loading process and sustained fire, offering close-up views of the weapon's internals and ammunition. The host provides positive closing impressions, recommending the PKM to enthusiasts, and includes bonus footage of a Barrett .50 caliber rifle.

This video clarifies the terminology between 'silencer' and 'suppressor,' noting 'silencer' is the original patented term. It demonstrates that suppressors reduce sound to around 130 dB, not silence, and discusses their role as hearing protection tools rather than crime enhancers. The process of legally acquiring a suppressor under the NFA, including the $200 tax stamp and lengthy wait times, is detailed, advocating for the Hearing Protection Act.

Using a suppressor on a home defense firearm is generally inadvisable due to the severe noise levels that can cause hearing damage and disorientation. This can lead to dangerous miscommunication with household members, potentially mistaking the defender for an intruder. While suppressors offer benefits, their use indoors without proper precautions poses significant risks to oneself and others.
