WWSD2021 - Complete Lower

This video demonstrates the extreme reliability of the WWSD 2020 AR-15, developed by KE Arms and Brownells, under harsh environmental conditions. Instructor Karl Kasarda, with high authority in firearms testing, submerges the rifle in mud twice, including direct contamination of the action, and fires it successfully after each test. The WWSD 2020, featuring a KP-15 polymer lower receiver, proves its capability to function even when heavily soiled.

This entry details the performance of the WWSD2020 rifle, specifically the KP-15 polymer lower, during a rigorous full-auto torture test. Expert analysis from InRangeTV highlights the rifle's reliability over 210 rounds, the thermal resistance of its polymer components, and the effectiveness of its specialized parts like the JP Silent Captured Spring and Faxon barrel under extreme conditions. The test demonstrates the structural integrity and heat management capabilities of the build.

This video explores the concept of 'last ditch' firearms production during a hypothetical World War III scenario, drawing on historical examples and modern manufacturing insights. Expert Ian McCollum details how wartime pressures would necessitate simplifying designs to reduce production time and material costs, potentially leading to the widespread adoption of polymer receivers like the KP-15 and a return to iron sights. The discussion highlights the critical role of manufacturing bottlenecks, such as CNC milling time, in dictating firearm design evolution during large-scale conflicts.

This guide, informed by Navy SEAL Coch, details how to build a versatile AR-15 platform suitable for multiple roles. It covers essential accessories like red dot sights and flashlights, specialized builds for lightweight or home defense applications, and ergonomic considerations for shooting stances and sling configurations. The emphasis is on modularity and choosing common calibers for a reliable go-to rifle.

This video showcases the WWSD 2020 rifle, designed by KE Arms and available at Brownells, through rigorous field testing. Expert instruction from Ian McCollum demonstrates its performance in dynamic shooting drills in a desert environment and its reliability in extreme cold weather conditions, highlighting its robust design and operational capabilities.

This guide details how to clear common malfunctions on an AK-74 platform rifle, specifically when heavily fouled with mud. Expert instruction from Karl Kasarda demonstrates advanced techniques for dealing with failures to go into battery, feeding issues, and stuck chambers. The video emphasizes the importance of understanding mechanical tolerances and performing thorough cleaning after such extreme environmental testing.

This guide details the historical method of igniting and deploying 18th-century grenades, as demonstrated by Karl Kasarda of InRangeTV. It covers the preparation and use of a slow match to ignite the external timed fuse of a replica grenade. The video emphasizes that this is a replica and stresses the extreme danger and illegality of handling live explosives.

This guide details the proper application of a Gaza-style or CAT tourniquet, as demonstrated by Karl Kasarda on InRangeTV. It emphasizes initial strap tightness before windlass use for effective hemorrhage control and occlusion. The instruction highlights the importance of securing the windlass and managing patient pain during application.

This guide details the historical loading process for the 1836 Colt Paterson revolver, as demonstrated by Karl Kasarda. It covers the unique disassembly required, the precise powder charge and projectile seating using specialized tools, and the capping procedure. The instruction emphasizes a high level of expertise due to the intricate and period-specific nature of the task.
