The FN SCAR 17S

This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic resistance of common shovels against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The results demonstrate that even basic shovels can offer surprising protection, with multiple rounds failing to penetrate the first shovel. The test concludes with a .50 BMG round being stopped by the eighth shovel, indicating significant defensive potential for this everyday tool.

This video demonstrates the FAB Defense GL-CORE IMPACT buttstock, featuring adjustable recoil dampening. The instructor tests its effectiveness on both a .308 Sig 716i and a 5.56mm Griffin Armament Mk2 Patrol. The GL-CORE IMPACT showed a significant reduction in felt recoil on the maximum setting for the .308, while the 5.56 platform also benefited from the dampening effect. The instructor provides direct feedback on the recoil reduction across different settings.

Marine X discusses the practicalities of selecting a truck gun, contrasting the powerful but large AR-10 with the more compact and maneuverable Daniel Defense DDM4 in .300 Blackout.

The speaker, with high authority in the 2A community, highlights the utility of folding stocks and suppressor compatibility for tactical firearms.

This video simulates a SWAT sniper challenge using the legendary HK PSG1 rifle. It covers three stages: a 100-yard hostage rescue drill, a 50-yard rapid target transition drill with jelly donuts, and a moving target engagement from an elevated position. The PSG1's historical context and technical specifications, including its precision trigger and heavy match-grade barrel, are detailed, highlighting its role as a dedicated precision platform.

This video from SHOT Show 2026 introduces 'Drone Round' ammunition, developed by Unlimited Ammo and Freedom Munitions. Designed for standard battle rifles in 5.56x45mm and 7.62x51mm (.308), these rounds effectively turn a rifle into a long-range shotgun for engaging Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). The 5.56 variants offer different projectile counts and ranges (30-50m for K-variant, up to 100m for L-variant), while the 7.62 variant extends effective range to 300 meters. Currently restricted to military and law enforcement, the company aims for future civilian availability. The rounds are compatible with suppressors and various barrel lengths.

This overview from SHOT Show 2026 details the significant upgrades to the FN SCAR platform, informed by extensive military and civilian feedback. Key enhancements include a hydraulic buffer for reduced recoil, a modular bolt carrier, fully ambidextrous controls, and an updated M-LOK handguard. The introduction of HUB-compatible, low back-pressure suppressors further refines the system's adaptability and performance.

This review explores the Franklin Armory BSFIII 22-C1 binary trigger for the Ruger 10/22, demonstrating its unique fire-on-pull-and-release functionality. The video also highlights the use of Aguila Super Extra ammunition and ProMag 35-round magazines. A giveaway for a Nemo Arms Executive Order rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor is also featured, showcasing its premium components.

A retired SEAL Team Six commander details his preferred AR-15 build, emphasizing practical ergonomics and efficient accessory placement. Key choices include an EOTech Vudu LPVO with a top-mounted Aimpoint ACRO for rapid target acquisition, a B5 Systems stock for battery storage, and strategic placement of a vertical foregrip, light, and laser to avoid snags and maintain a clear sight picture. The build prioritizes functionality and speed, even on a budget-friendly base.

This review compares the Glock 17 and Glock 19, highlighting their physical differences, historical context, and practical applications. While the Glock 19 excels in concealed carry due to its smaller size, the Glock 17 offers a longer sight radius and higher capacity. Accuracy tests showed negligible differences for most shooters, with personal preference and hand size being key factors in choosing between them.

This video explores the top five firearm types for home defense, emphasizing personal comfort and training. It covers pistols like the Beretta M9A3 and FN FNX-45 Tactical, highlighting features for close quarters and low-light conditions. Pistol Caliber Carbines (PCCs) such as the CZ Scorpion offer improved accuracy and capacity. The AR-15 platform, exemplified by the Daniel Defense MK18, provides power but requires careful ammunition selection to mitigate over-penetration risks. Finally, shotguns, including the Remington 870 and bullpup models like the Panzer Arms BP-12, are discussed as classic yet effective options.
