The Raptor, RPK, and AR10!!!

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a 24-inch adjustable wrench against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The wrench demonstrated significant durability, withstanding multiple impacts from intermediate rifle cartridges and even showing resistance to .308 Winchester. The .50 BMG round, however, completely destroyed the wrench's internal gearing mechanism.

This video tests the bullet resistance of a 24-inch pipe wrench against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The wrench demonstrated significant resistance, with only the .50 BMG round causing substantial damage by destroying the internal gear mechanism. The testing provides a practical, albeit extreme, demonstration of material resistance to ballistic impact.

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 from Mrgunsngear discusses the current and projected ammunition shortage, attributing it to a confluence of factors including Russian import sanctions, aid to Ukraine, COVID-related supply chain disruptions, component cost increases (especially copper), tariffs, and increased consumer demand driven by geopolitical events. The speaker anticipates continued scarcity and price increases for common calibers.

This video provides a comprehensive guide to selecting firearms and ammunition for SHTF (Shit Hits The Fan) scenarios, emphasizing common, military-proven calibers like 5.56x45mm, 7.62x39mm, and 9mm for their availability and reliability. It details the advantages of platforms like the AR-15 and AK-47, recommends substantial ammunition stockpiles, and covers essential accessories such as slings, extra magazines, optics, and maintenance tools. The instructor, with extensive experience, stresses the importance of modularity, durability, and ease of repair in critical situations.

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 guide details how to create DIY 'AR Fast Mags' by coupling two AR-15 magazines using a Zyn tin as a spacer and Goon Tape for adhesion. The process involves securing the spacer between two magazines and wrapping them tightly to create a stable unit that allows for faster reloads. The video demonstrates successful insertion and function in an AR-15 lower receiver.

This guide details how to create a 'Triple Flip Mag' for an AR-15 using readily available magazines and Goon Tape. The modification allows for a rapid transition between three loaded magazines, enhancing reloading speed in tactical or competitive scenarios. The video demonstrates a practical application of this accessory, showcasing its functionality with an AR-15.

This guide details how to create a coupled AK magazine setup using Goon Tape, a technique demonstrated by MuzzleBroke. It emphasizes proper alignment and secure taping to ensure reliable function for enhanced reloading speed, particularly useful for EDC applications.

This video demonstrates the functionality of AK 'flip' magazines, debunking the myth that rounds will fall out when inverted. Using a Romanian RPK, the creator shows that coupled magazines remain secure even during rapid fire, aided by a Forced Reset Trigger (FRT). The demonstration confirms the practical application of this magazine configuration for enhanced reloading efficiency in certain scenarios.
