This video discusses why appendix carry is considered one of the most dangerous ways to carry a firearm. The description indicates a live stream event at 6 pm Pacific, suggesting a discussion or Q&A session. The focus is on the potential risks and safety considerations associated with appendix carry, a popular method for concealed carry. Further details on specific risks, safety protocols, or alternative carry methods are not provided in the limited information.

This expert-level analysis from Active Self Protection, led by John Correia, breaks down a carjacking incident where prepared bodyguards successfully defended their principal. The video emphasizes the critical importance of situational awareness in transitional spaces, the effectiveness of locked vehicle doors as a barrier, and the superiority of pistols for in-vehicle defense due to maneuverability.

This video explores the theoretical and practical outcome of loading a 50 BMG cartridge into a 12 gauge flare gun. The experiment, conducted by a hobbyist, demonstrates that while the 50 BMG cartridge surprisingly fits, the flare gun's firing mechanism and primer strength are insufficient to ignite it. The test highlights the significant differences in primer resistance between ammunition types.

This video debunks the myth that shooting upwards is safe, explaining the lethal terminal velocity of falling projectiles. It showcases the Canik Mete MC9 Prime with a Gideon Valor optic and demonstrates the use of 9mm shot shells for controlled, less dangerous demonstrations, highlighting their unique projectile dispersal.

This video debunks the myth that a .50 BMG round passing near a target can be lethal due to shockwave. Using a ballistic mannequin head and a Big Kahuna Firearms Raptor-50 rifle, the test demonstrated that while the .50 BMG round impacted and destroyed a concrete block behind the target, it did not affect the mannequin or the cardboard placed near it. The conclusion is that a near miss from a .50 BMG is not fatal.

This video conducts a destructive test comparing the impact of .22 LR and .50 BMG rounds on a ballistic head model. The .22 LR caused minimal damage, while the .50 BMG completely destroyed the head, highlighting the vast difference in energy and destructive potential between the two calibers. The test also showcases the Raptor .50 BMG upper receiver as an accessible way to experience .50 BMG ballistics on an AR-15 platform.
