New 20" Gong for Long Range Videos

This video from Brownells evaluates the utility of smart scopes, specifically the Burris Eliminator 6, for long-range shooting and hunting. The presenters demonstrate how the scope integrates with a smartphone app to provide real-time rangefinding and ballistic solutions, displaying a holdover dot for accurate shots at unknown distances. While acknowledging the technology's effectiveness, particularly for hunters in open country, they also touch on the need for proper zeroing and potential adjustments for windage and elevation.

This review covers the EZShoot 5-25x56 FFP scope, highlighting its affordability and performance for long-range shooting. The instructor demonstrates mounting, zeroing, and shooting at distances up to 1000 yards, noting the scope's features like a 34mm tube, zero stop, and resettable turrets. Despite its budget price point, the scope proved capable of reaching extended ranges on a hunting rifle.

This guide details how to use the Longshot LR3 Ultra HD target camera system for efficient firearm zeroing. The system allows shooters to monitor shots remotely via a smartphone or tablet, eliminating the need to walk downrange. Key features include adjustable grid overlays for precise measurement, shot marking, and integrated recording capabilities, significantly simplifying the zeroing process for various optics and firearms.

Lenny McGill from Glock Store Performance and Customs demonstrates the MX-1 chassis, a conversion kit that transforms a Glock pistol into a carbine-style platform. The video details the installation process, including compatibility with various Glock generations and the use of a Gen 6 adapter. It highlights the chassis's portability, accuracy improvements, and suitability for home defense, also showcasing the integration of optics like the HoloSun AEMS Pro and the use of suppressors for reduced recoil and sound.

The Maztek X4 LRF 2K is presented as a 'cheat code' for long-range shooting, integrating laser rangefinding with applied ballistics, motion sensors, and environmental data. It calculates precise holdover adjustments based on user-inputted firearm and ammunition specifications, along with real-time environmental conditions like barometric pressure and wind. The device aims to provide a one-shot hit solution at any distance, simplifying complex ballistic calculations for shooters of varying experience levels.

This video showcases the extreme power of the .375 CheyTac cartridge fired from a Desert Tech HTI rifle. Demonstrations include hitting steel targets at 300 yards, with projectiles impacting watermelons placed in front of the steel. The video highlights the significant impact on both the watermelons and the AR550 steel plate, even when the projectile hits sideways.

This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides a practical, albeit unconventional, comparison of five common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) by shooting watermelons. The expert demonstrates varying levels of terminal performance, from the .22LR's significant splitting to the .45 ACP's complete watermelon fragmentation, highlighting the differences in hydraulic shock and expansion. The test utilizes specific hollow-point ammunition, including Speer Gold Dot, Aguila Super Maximum, and Underwood XTP, showcasing their effects.

This video provides a practical, safety-conscious comparison of common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) against concrete blocks. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, details the testing methodology and results, emphasizing the risks of ricochet. None of the tested pistol calibers fully penetrated the concrete block's second wall, suggesting their limitations for certain penetration scenarios.

This review of the Taurus TX22 .22 LR pistol details its features, including a 16+1 capacity and excellent trigger. While initial testing with CCI Mini-Mags was flawless, subsequent tests with various ammunition types revealed cycling issues and culminated in a catastrophic failure. The failure was attributed to a squib load followed by a second shot, causing a barrel bulge and ruptured casing, highlighting potential ammunition inconsistencies. The review provides a detailed look at disassembly and damage assessment.

This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides an experimental comparison of three popular rimfire calibers: .22LR, .22WMR, and .17HMR, using cantaloupes as ballistic mediums. The host, an experienced shooter, demonstrates the distinct terminal ballistics of each round, highlighting how bullet construction and velocity affect target interaction. The comparison offers practical insights into the performance differences between these rimfire cartridges on soft tissue simulants.
