During ammo shortages, the next items to disappear are magazines, reloading components, and gun parts. The video highlights that during the 2020 shortage, specific magazines like Glock and AR-15 Pmags became scarce and expensive. Reloading primers vanished almost overnight, while powders remained available but restricted. Gun parts for popular platforms like AR-15s (lower parts kits, BCGs) and Glocks also saw significant demand and scarcity, impacting repairs and builds.

This video provides practical advice for preparing for potential societal collapse, emphasizing firearm readiness and essential supplies. The speaker, a self-described regular guy with no formal credentials, stresses the importance of owning a reliable rifle like an AR-15, stocking ammunition, and mastering marksmanship fundamentals. He also covers critical survival items including medical supplies, food, water, and fuel, advocating for a 'stay put' strategy over bugging out.

This video from Yee Yee Life features an experienced individual testing the bullet-stopping capabilities of a 100-pound lead block against various calibers, from .22LR up to .50 BMG. The test includes firearms like Glocks, Rugers, Desert Eagles, AR-15s, FN SCARs, and Barrett rifles, demonstrating penetration levels and the effectiveness of lead as a ballistic material. The results show that while lead blocks can stop many common rounds, high-powered calibers like the .50 BMG can penetrate significantly.

This video demonstrates the proper use of a hard case for storing multiple firearms, including an AR-15, a Glock pistol, and a shotgun. It highlights how foam-lined cases can protect firearms equipped with accessories like optics and weapon lights, emphasizing secure and organized storage. The content serves as a basic guide to firearm case management.

This guide, informed by Ben Stoeger's insights, explains how to assess and modify firearm grip texture. It emphasizes understanding hand-to-gun interaction, identifying functional contact points, and balancing traction with comfort. The advice covers evaluating stock textures on models like the Walts 9, Glock, CZ Shadow 2, and Atlas, and suggests modifications like adding or removing grip tape to optimize performance without causing discomfort or hindering trigger control.

This video features a critique of a home defense AR-15 build by former Navy SEAL Jeff Gonzales.
