Lost Arts Part 6: The Ultimate .410 Shotgun

This video features Iraqveteran8888 conducting a comprehensive torture test of the Premier Body Armor Fortis Level 3A ballistic helmet. The helmet is subjected to various threats, including 9mm, .44 Magnum, 7.62x25mm AP, and 5.7x28mm rounds, to assess its ballistic performance and backface deformation. The review highlights the helmet's construction, adjustability, and comfort, concluding it exceeded expectations against multiple calibers.

Iraqveteran8888 demonstrates an advanced long-range .22 LR lethality test using a highly accurate Vudoo 360 rifle. The video details the use of specialized equipment like the TAC-COM HQ Charlie Macro and Kestrel 5700 Elite to achieve precision shots at extreme distances (up to 677 yards), assessing projectile penetration on a 1/2-inch pine board to determine potential lethality. The expert instruction highlights the importance of environmental factors and precise equipment for extreme range engagements.

This guide details the installation and performance evaluation of the OSS Helix 5.56 suppressor, drawing on expert insights from Iraqveteran8888. It covers the unique flow-through design, its impact on back pressure and rate of fire, and provides specific sound suppression data. The review highlights the suppressor's effectiveness on semi-automatic platforms and its secure QD mounting system.

This video showcases a day of shooting with Classic Firearms and Iraqveteran8888, featuring a guest shooting a Barrett M107A1 .50 BMG rifle and then transitioning to full-auto firearms. Expert insights are provided on .50 BMG ammunition types, their destructive power against fluid targets and armor, and the operation of NFA-regulated items. The session highlights safe range practices and the celebratory aspect of experiencing powerful firearms.

This video features Eric from Iraqveteran8888 and John Patton from The Gun Collective conducting an experimental test. They fire a 1.5-pound lead cannon projectile at a 275-gallon water tank to observe its ballistic performance and impact. The experiment provides a unique look at extreme projectile energy and expansion, comparing it to standard firearm calibers.

This video provides a practical demonstration of an AR500 Armor Level III plate's performance against sustained fire from an M240 Bravo machine gun. Expert analysis from Iraqveteran8888 highlights that while the steel plate itself stopped the 7.62x51 NATO rounds, the accompanying destruction of the plate carrier and significant spalling effects would likely be incapacitating. The test offers valuable insights into the real-world survivability of armor under extreme conditions.

This video provides an expert-level overview of a heavily customized AR-15, nicknamed the 'Zombie Destroyer', built for a thematic zombie apocalypse scenario. The build features an extensive accessory loadout including multiple optics, lasers, and flashlights, along with a high magazine capacity. The demonstration includes rapid fire, engagement of Tannerite targets, and unique shooting techniques, showcasing the rifle's capabilities and the instructor's proficiency.

This video details an extreme AR-15 meltdown test, pushing a custom build to its limits. Expert instructor Eric demonstrates the process, highlighting component durability and failure points under sustained fire. The test concludes with a catastrophic barrel failure after 830 rounds, providing valuable insights into the platform's resilience.

This guide details the process of conducting an extreme durability test on an AK-47 variant, specifically the Definitive Arms VEPR, as demonstrated by Iraqveteran8888. The test involves sustained full-auto fire to induce critical heat failure, followed by inspection of components like the barrel and gas block. The expert assessment highlights the rifle's resilience, lasting 895 rounds before failure, and compares its performance to other platforms.

This guide details a 700-round rapid-fire stress test on a Yugo M92 PAP AK-47 variant, demonstrating the platform's legendary durability under extreme heat. Performed by Eric from Iraqveteran8888, the test highlights safe handling of overheated firearms and concludes with a tribute to Mikhail Kalashnikov's engineering legacy. The firearm successfully completed the test despite significant heat buildup.
