This video demonstrates the installation of the Recover Tactical 20/20N Stabilizer Kit on a Glock 19 pistol. The process is shown to be quick and straightforward, enhancing the pistol's stability during live fire. The demonstration includes live fire on a range, showcasing the effectiveness of the brace with a Holosun red dot sight.

This video provides a clear, demonstrative comparison of 9mm FMJ versus R.I.P. ammunition performance. Utilizing a Sig Sauer M17 and slow-motion videography, the test shows the distinct impact characteristics of each round on a clay block. The R.I.P. round exhibits a significantly more destructive and fragmenting effect compared to the standard FMJ.

This video demonstrates a live-fire test of Blue Tip 9mm ammunition's effectiveness against a vehicle door. An experienced shooter from Tática Civil uses a Girsan Witness pistol equipped with a red dot and weapon light to fire the volatile ammunition into a Ford Explorer. The test shows significant damage, including smoke and bullet holes, and highlights the ammunition's explosive characteristic on soft targets. The video also promotes Hickory Flat Boars for specialized ammunition and SDI.TODAY for firearms technology education.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of the .45 ACP cartridge's effectiveness, comparing it to 9mm. It delves into the historical context of its design by John Browning, its ballistics, and its performance in modern contexts. The analysis debunks myths like 'knockdown power' and emphasizes that shot placement, penetration, and expansion are key factors, with modern ammunition narrowing the performance gap between calibers. The video concludes that .45 ACP remains a viable and effective cartridge, especially for suppressed use, but stresses that shooter skill and training are paramount.

This video features Edwin Sarkissian, an experienced firearms instructor, conducting a unique bullet penetration test. He uses 12 Ozark Trail 12-inch cast iron skillets to determine how many rounds from various calibers and firearms, including 9mm, .45 ACP, 500 S&W Magnum, 7.62x39mm, 5.56mm, 5.7x28mm, and 12 Gauge slugs, can penetrate the cookware. The results offer practical insights into the ballistic performance of different ammunition types against a common household item.

This video from Edwin Sarkissian provides an expert-level demonstration of the Serbu BFG-50A rifle's capability against a railroad track. Sarkissian, a high-level firearms enthusiast, showcases the .50 BMG caliber's power with various ammunition types, including the specialized Raufoss Mk 211 Mod 0, highlighting its penetration through thick steel. The content offers valuable insights into terminal ballistics and the performance of heavy caliber rounds.

This video demonstrates a unique application of the X Products Can Cannon, a gas-operated launcher compatible with AR-15/M16 lowers, to launch an M67-style fragmentation grenade using .223 Blanks. Expert experimentalist Edwin Sarkissian showcases the process of loading and firing the device towards a frozen lake, highlighting the launcher's ability to hold the grenade's spoon in place until firing. The demonstration results in a significant explosion and ice shatter upon impact.

This guide details a ballistic test comparing a .50 Cal Spotter round against a 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass panel using a Serbu BFG-50A rifle. The test, conducted by firearms enthusiast Edwin Sarkissian, demonstrates the significant destructive potential of specialized .50 BMG ammunition, highlighting differences in impact effects between incendiary spotter rounds and standard FMJ rounds. The expert-level demonstration emphasizes the importance of understanding ammunition types and their performance against protective materials.
