This video showcases the SilencerCo Spectre 9K 9mm suppressor through live-fire demonstrations on a Glock pistol. The footage emphasizes the suppressor's performance in a dynamic shooting environment, highlighting its compact size, weight balance, and effectiveness in reducing sound signature during rapid fire and target transitions. Visuals include close-ups of the suppressor mounted with accessories and slow-motion footage of the firearm's cycling.

This video features a former Navy SEAL, Jeff Gonzales, providing expert feedback on a home defense AR-15 build. He critiques the rifle's accessories, particularly the sling, and emphasizes the importance of reliable optics and the benefits of a suppressor for indoor use. The discussion highlights practical considerations for effective home defense firearms.

The Beretta ARX-160, showcased at SHOT Show 2011, is a modular, piston-driven rifle featuring ambidextrous controls and tool-less disassembly. Its design emphasizes adaptability with multiple sling points, interchangeable magazine releases, and a quick-change barrel system. While currently limited to military/defense use, future law enforcement and civilian variants are planned.

Fostech unveiled a 20-round .50 BMG drum magazine for Barrett M107 and 82A1 rifles, constructed from billet machined aluminum. They also introduced the Fostech Rader, a lightweight .308 rifle featuring a proprietary magnesium aluminum alloy and ambidextrous controls. The drum mag is priced at $1599 with a Q3/Q4 availability, while the Rader rifle is expected around $3000 with a Q4 release.

Testing a Remington 158gr SJHP .357 Magnum load from a 16-inch Rossi M92 reveals impressive performance, achieving 1709.6 fps. The round exhibited significant fragmentation and penetration of 20.1 inches in ballistic gel, behaving more like a rifle cartridge due to its velocity. This challenges typical handgun round terminal ballistics expectations.
