SAS Secret Weapon?!🤔🤯

This guide outlines seven essential firearms for a zombie apocalypse scenario, emphasizing practicality, logistics, and reliability over aesthetics. The selections include a 16-inch AR-15 carbine in 5.56 NATO, a Glock 19 Gen 5 in 9mm, a 12-gauge pump shotgun, a .357 Magnum lever-action rifle, a .357 Magnum revolver, a 9mm PCC, and a suppressed .308 bolt-action rifle. Each choice is justified by its specific advantages in maneuverability, ammunition availability, shootability, and effectiveness in various survival situations.

This video showcases two 'apocalypse weapons' recommended by former CIA officer Jason Hanson: a Remington 870 pump-action shotgun and an ultra-light tomahawk. The shotgun's versatility with different shell types (birdshot, buckshot, slugs) is highlighted, with a demonstration of a rifled slug obliterating a spray paint can. The tomahawk is presented as a multi-purpose survival tool, useful for self-defense, hacking through brush, and even emergency situations like the one described involving ice.

This episode features retired SMU Operator Christian Craighead discussing his extensive military career, including 17 operational deployments with the SAS. He recounts his first use of lethal force in Iraq in 2003, detailing the intense circumstances and his mindset. The conversation delves into the technical aspects of firearms, including the infamous HK G36 jamming issue, and the practical considerations of rifle setups for various operational environments. Craighead also touches on his post-military ventures, including his brand 'Ministry of Defense'.

This video from Line45, hosted by Ted, discusses firearms considered essential for potential wartime scenarios in 2025. It emphasizes combat efficiency and survivability, moving beyond typical home defense. The presenter highlights bolt-action rifles for their precision and penetration, 9mm handguns for ammunition availability and capacity, shotguns for ease of use and versatility, the AK-47 for its legendary reliability in harsh conditions, and the AR-15 for its modularity, accuracy, and common ammunition types. The advice is geared towards preparing for widespread conflict rather than everyday self-defense.

Eric from Iraq Veteran 8888 discusses budget-friendly firearm options for new owners. He recommends police trade-in pump-action shotguns (like Mossberg 590 or Remington 870) for home defense, citing their affordability ($200-$250) and reliability. For handguns, the Stoeger STR9 series is highlighted as a strong value under $300, offering good quality and a better trigger than the Smith & Wesson Sigma series. He also mentions the Palmetto State Armory Dagger as a Glock-style option and suggests basic AR-15s from Palmetto State Armory for entry-level rifle ownership.

Americans are experiencing a surge in firearm and ammunition purchases, mirroring patterns seen in 2020. This trend is driven by concerns over rising crime rates, political uncertainty, and a perceived lack of trust in societal systems. Unlike the initial 2020 panic, current buying is more targeted, with consumers seeking specific, reliable models for self-defense and preparedness. Ammunition availability is also tightening, leading to increased prices and purchase limits.

This guide details a DIY technique for creating 'poor man's slugs' by cutting birdshot shotgun shells, a method historically used for defense and hunting during times of scarcity. The process involves carefully cutting the shell casing to create a projectile that functions similarly to a slug. The video demonstrates the technique on a Beretta 1301 tactical shotgun and discusses the importance of cut accuracy for flight stability and potential reliability issues in semi-automatic firearms.

This video demonstrates critical firearm safety failures, including poor muzzle awareness, lack of trigger discipline, and unsafe handling in a residential environment. The individual exhibits difficulty with basic firearm manipulation, culminating in a negligent discharge indoors. It serves as a stark warning against improper firearm handling and the importance of professional training.

This guide details the process of creating a DIY wax slug from standard birdshot, as demonstrated by the 'Collapse N Protect' channel. The modification involves melting wax and pouring it over the shot to create a cohesive projectile. The video highlights the increased effectiveness of this DIY slug compared to traditional birdshot, particularly in its ability to concentrate energy on the target, as evidenced by its success in shattering a cinder block. The creator also humorously notes the potential for using scented wax to alter the range's odor.

This video from Collapse N Protect, featuring an instructor with high authority, experimentally tests whether 12-gauge shotgun shells mounted on a plate carrier will explode when shot. The tests, using birdshot, buckshot, and Dragon's Breath rounds, demonstrate that while shells can be breached and their contents spilled, they do not detonate or explode without primer ignition and the compression force typically provided by a firearm's barrel. The explanation highlights the essential components and conditions required for a shell to fire.
