New AK optic mount The JMAC MMS system.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a 100-pound block of lead against various firearm calibers, from .22LR up to .50 BMG. The experiment demonstrates how different rounds interact with soft lead, showing deformation and penetration depths. Notably, the .50 BMG round successfully penetrated the entire lead block and a target behind it, highlighting the extreme power of this caliber.

This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic resistance of a real bank door against various calibers, from .22LR up to .50 BMG. The test, conducted by an experienced individual demonstrating safe firearm handling, shows the door's effectiveness against most handgun rounds and even some rifle calibers, though it is ultimately penetrated by a .50 BMG round. The experiment uses a mannequin named Fred as a target to visualize the effects of penetration.

Instruction from Ted of Line 45 provides expert insights into building an ammunition stockpile before potential shortages. The guide details which calibers are most vulnerable, like .22 LR and 9mm, and explains the impact of supply chains and import restrictions. It emphasizes strategic stockpiling for different uses, from training to self-defense, to ensure preparedness.

This video demonstrates the effects of live fire on a layer of ice, progressing from smaller calibers (.22 Magnum, .380 Auto, 9mm, .45 ACP) to a rifle caliber (7.62x39mm from an AK-47). The presenter, exhibiting experienced authority, shows how projectile impact creates craters, fractures, and causes water beneath the ice to pulse, with larger calibers and rifle rounds causing significantly more damage. The experiment highlights the varying energy transfer and penetration capabilities of different firearms when impacting a frozen surface.

Elliott Delp, a firearms enthusiast with practical range experience, recommends three firearms for enthusiasts looking to expand their collection beyond the basics. He highlights the .300 Blackout rifle for its suppressed potential, tactical AK variants for their appeal, and the Grand Power Stribog SP9A3G as a fun and economical 9mm PCC. The advice emphasizes practical considerations like suppression benefits and cost-effectiveness for shooting.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a large, commercially available Jawbreaker candy against various calibers of ammunition. It demonstrates how different rounds, from .22 LR to 6.5 Creedmoor, impact and damage the candy, noting the shockwaves and fragmentation caused by higher-powered rounds. The experiment highlights the surprising durability of the Jawbreaker and the destructive power of firearms.

This guide details the technique for firing and reloading the Yugo SKS M59/66, as demonstrated by Klayco47. It covers the use of stripper clips for rapid magazine loading and emphasizes the rifle's accuracy potential. The demonstration highlights efficient operation of this classic surplus firearm.

This guide details the technique for firing and cycling the Spanish Cetme FR8 rifle, as demonstrated by Klayco47. It covers manual loading, chambering via bolt action, aiming with iron sights, firing a suppressed shot, and ejecting the spent casing. The demonstration emphasizes proper bolt manipulation and effective use of the rifle's iron sights.

This video details a high-volume fire stress test on a Palmetto State Armory AK-47, pushing the firearm to its limits. Klayco47, a recognized authority in AK-47 testing, demonstrates the rifle's resilience as its polymer handguards ignite and burn during sustained firing. The test progresses to using a 75-round drum magazine, showcasing the AK's ability to function despite extreme heat and visible flames, highlighting the robust nature of the platform under duress.

This video showcases a Palmetto State Armory Spiker AK undergoing a high-stress, full-auto firing test. Instructor Klayco47 demonstrates the potential for thermal failure, with the wooden handguards igniting due to extreme heat buildup. The content highlights the importance of understanding firearm limitations under sustained firing conditions.
