How loud is a Deuce and a Half? Let's find out.

This video tests the effectiveness of a common household pillow as an improvised firearm suppressor using a mil-spec decibel meter. The experiment involves establishing baseline sound levels for handguns and revolvers, then measuring the decibel reduction when a pillow is placed over the muzzle. Various methods of pillow placement are explored, including wrapping it around the cylinder gap of a revolver, to assess their impact on sound dampening. The results indicate that a pillow can significantly reduce gunshot noise, particularly when used with semi-automatic handguns and when the cylinder gap of a revolver is addressed.

This guide details how to jump start a Deuce and a Half (M35 series military truck), emphasizing its 24-volt dual-battery system. It explains that standard 12-volt jump starter packs are insufficient and demonstrates the correct procedure using a high-amperage jump starter. Alternative methods like using NATO slave cables for inter-vehicle starts and battery maintenance techniques such as trickle charging and solar panels are also covered.

This guide details the correct fluid selection and maintenance for the transmission and transfer case of a Deuce and a Half (M35) military truck. It emphasizes the critical need for non-detergent, straight-weight motor oil (SAE 40 recommended) or GL1 90 weight gear oil that is 'yellow metal safe' to protect internal bronze components. Using modern detergent or multi-weight oils can cause significant damage due to the lack of an oil filter in these older transmissions.

This guide details the process of using the onboard air compressor on a Deuce and a Half (M35) military truck for emergency tire inflation. It covers locating the system, connecting to air, inflating tires to appropriate pressures for different conditions (50 PSI for road, 20 PSI for off-road), and notes the limitations of the onboard system, recommending shop compressors for regular use. The video also highlights challenges with valve stem access on these vehicles.

This guide details a DIY sound suppression test using a Charter Arms Off Duty revolver in .38 Special. The experiment demonstrates how effectively enclosing a firearm within a pillow and sealing it with duct tape can drastically reduce noise levels to a potentially hearing-safe range (71 dB) compared to unsuppressed firing (152 dB). The speaker, demonstrating high authority, explains the mechanics behind firearm noise, particularly the role of the cylinder gap, and contrasts this method with less effective attempts like wrapping a towel.

This comprehensive review of the Mossberg 702 Plinkster, purchased for $99 from Walmart, details its features, performance, and value. The expert assessment highlights its practical accuracy for plinking and its surprisingly robust construction for the price point, manufactured by CBC in Brazil. It's presented as a reliable, budget-friendly option for recreational shooting.

This guide details the process of modifying a Hi-Point .45 pistol grip to accept an extended 20-round Redball Sports magazine and troubleshooting potential feeding issues. It covers grip modification, magazine loading, and feed lip adjustments for reliable performance, as demonstrated by an experienced firearm reviewer.

This guide details the analysis of a rifle used in a shooting incident involving Charlie Kirk. It covers identifying calibers by sound, assessing shot distances, comparing rifle models like the Mauser, Weatherby Vanguard, and Thompson Center, and understanding concepts like cold bore shots to evaluate shooter skill. The analysis highlights the .30-06 Springfield caliber and the characteristics of bolt-action rifles.

This video clarifies the confusion surrounding various 7.62mm cartridges, highlighting their distinct origins, applications, and ballistic differences. It details calibers from the 7.62x25 Tokarev pistol round to powerful rifle cartridges like the 7.62x51 NATO and 7.62x54R Russian, emphasizing that despite the shared '7.62' designation, bullet diameters and performance vary significantly. Key firearms like the AK-47, SKS, Mosin Nagant, and AR-10 are associated with their respective 7.62 rounds.
