Duration: 7:06

This video details issues encountered during a shooting event, specifically focusing on ammunition quality and its impact on firearm performance. Calvin discusses how Hungarian Gecko 7.62x39mm ammunition yielded significantly worse accuracy (8 MOA) from his VZ 58 compared to Russian ammunition (4 MOA) at home. He also experienced a failure to feed with his CZ 75 pistol, attributing it to the ammunition's lack of crimping, which caused bullets to be pushed back into the case. The discussion highlights the importance of consistent ammunition quality for reliable firearm function and accurate shooting.

Quick Summary

Accuracy issues with the VZ 58 rifle were linked to Hungarian Gecko 7.62x39mm ammunition, producing 8 MOA groups compared to 4 MOA with Russian ammo. A CZ 75 pistol experienced failure to feed due to un-crimped ammunition causing bullet setback, which also impacts accuracy and pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What caused accuracy issues with the VZ 58 rifle?

The primary cause of accuracy issues with the VZ 58 rifle was identified as the Hungarian Gecko 7.62x39mm ammunition. This ammunition yielded significantly larger groups (around 8 MOA) compared to Russian 7.62x39mm ammunition (around 4 MOA) tested previously.

What type of malfunction occurred with the CZ 75 pistol?

The CZ 75 pistol experienced a failure to feed malfunction. The bullet became stuck on the feed ramp and was pushed back into the case, a problem attributed to the ammunition not being properly crimped.

How does un-crimped ammunition affect firearm performance?

Un-crimped ammunition can lead to bullet setback when the bullet is pushed back into the case during feeding. This alters the bullet's concentricity and can increase chamber pressure, resulting in inconsistent accuracy and potential malfunctions.

What is the capacity of the original steel magazines for the CZ 75?

The original steel magazines for the CZ 75 pistol, featuring steel base plates, have a capacity of 16 rounds plus one in the chamber (16+1).
