Strain 100 - First Official Teaser

This review of the JL Billet Reaper chassis for the SIG Sauer P365 evaluates its performance as a hybrid between a pistol and a pistol caliber carbine. The chassis offers improved stability and accuracy over a standard pistol, particularly in rapid-fire scenarios, but falls short of a dedicated PCC. Key considerations include its all-metal construction, integrated magazine holder, and aesthetic appeal, contrasted with the slide's proximity to the face and the inconvenience of dedicating a carry pistol to the chassis. The reviewer suggests it excels as a 'bag gun' or range toy rather than an EDC solution.

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 review covers the Nanorroni PCC conversion kit for Glock pistols, specifically demonstrating its use with a Glock 19X. The kit transforms a handgun into a pistol carbine, significantly improving stability and target acquisition speed. It is compatible with a wide range of Glock models and offers features like an integrated magazine holder and an optic mounting platform.

This video by Sully from Line 45 outlines seven essential calibers gun owners should stockpile in anticipation of future shortages and price spikes. The expert emphasizes the importance of proactive stocking for calibers like .300 Blackout, .308 Winchester, 10mm Auto, 12 Gauge, .22 LR, .223 Remington/5.56 NATO, and 9mm Luger, detailing their specific use cases and current market availability challenges.

This video provides an in-depth review and ballistic test of the RMA Armament 1165MC Gen 2 NIJ Level IV body armor. The reviewer details the plate's specifications, including its thinness, high purity ceramic composition, multi-curve design, and lightweight construction. Multiple ballistic tests are conducted using various calibers (.30-06, 5.56x45mm, 9mm, .22LR) against a water jug target to assess penetration and backface deformation, demonstrating the armor's protective capabilities.

This guide details the considerations for mounting red dot sights on rifles, comparing top-mounted versus 45-degree offset configurations. Instructor Mike Odow emphasizes that while personal preference plays a role, understanding the impact on cheek weld, weapon manipulation, and effective range is crucial. The 45-degree offset offers a consistent cheek weld but has limitations at distance, while top-mounting requires adapting to a new cheek weld position.

John Hickok, an experienced firearms instructor, demonstrates the Zastava M92 PV, a legally converted full-auto AK variant. He highlights the NFA's role in restricting civilian access to such firearms and showcases the weapon's performance with both standard and drum magazines. The video emphasizes the AK selector design for quick semi-auto transitions and the manageable recoil of this compact full-auto platform.

This video provides an expert-level accuracy test of the Micro Draco AK, a short-barreled variant imported by Century Arms, chambered in 7.62x39mm. Instructor John Hickok demonstrates techniques for assessing mechanical accuracy using shooting supports and discusses the ballistic trade-offs of its 6-inch barrel. The assessment highlights surprisingly practical accuracy at moderate ranges for this compact firearm.

This video demonstrates a practical marksmanship drill using a rare Marlin 1895 STP in .45-70 Government. Instructor John Hickok challenges viewers to clear a field of animal-shaped steel targets efficiently. The drill emphasizes accuracy and shot economy, framed as a hypothetical survival scenario. It highlights the capabilities of the Marlin 1895 STP, a limited-run rifle known for its historical significance and robust performance.

This guide details techniques for controlling a full-auto firearm, specifically the Glock 17, as demonstrated by John Hickok. It emphasizes the importance of grip, anticipating muzzle rise, maintaining sight alignment, and practicing controlled bursts. Hickok, an experienced shooter, highlights that mastering full-auto requires understanding the firearm's specific characteristics and dedicated practice.
