How Far Will an Air Rifle Kill? Part 1

This episode compares the performance of air rifles (sub 12 ft-lb and FAC) against .22 rimfire rifles, focusing on accuracy, power, and practical application at various ranges. Experts discuss the advantages of slugs over pellets for airguns, the impact of barrel length on rimfire velocity, and the role of ballistic coefficients in projectile flight. The video also highlights the capabilities of modern airgun technology for hunting and target shooting.

This video demonstrates a challenging long-range air rifle shot, hitting a rubber duck at 300 yards using a Brocock Ghost with Altros 40 grain slugs. The expert shooter highlights the precision achievable with modern airguns and specialized ammunition. It serves as an inspiration for advanced airgun enthusiasts looking to test their skills at extreme distances.

This video demonstrates three methods for practicing shooting at home, focusing on reduced noise levels. It highlights the use of an air rifle, .22 LR ammunition (specifically Aguila Super Colibre), and subsonic .22 LR ammunition paired with a suppressed rifle. The presenter emphasizes that these methods are significantly quieter than standard firearms, making them more suitable for home environments.

This guide, drawing on insights from a seasoned firearms reviewer, breaks down the science behind firearm noise and how to achieve exceptional quietness. It covers the three main noise sources (mechanical, sonic, muzzle blast) and explains how suppressors and subsonic ammunition mitigate them. The guide highlights specific firearm types and calibers suitable for quiet operation, including the CVA Scout and FX Impact M3, while also touching on the legal nuances of suppressors and airgun moderators.

This guide details how to assess the potential lethality of BB guns, specifically comparing the Daisy Red Ryder to a higher-power pump-action airgun and a 12-gauge shotgun. It involves penetration testing using ballistic gel or pork butt and simulating critical artery wall penetration. The expert assessment highlights that the Red Ryder, at typical velocities, is not considered lethal for typical body tissue hits, while more powerful airguns and shotguns pose significant risks.

This video tests the lethality and accuracy of 9mm projectiles fired from a shotgun. The experiment involves shooting these projectiles into cardboard for accuracy, a soda bottle for energy, and a "shrapnel vest" to assess penetration. Results indicate a lack of stabilization for the 9mm projectiles when fired from a shotgun, with each bullet passing sideways.

This video provides an expert-level overview of a heavily customized AR-15, nicknamed the 'Zombie Destroyer', built for a thematic zombie apocalypse scenario. The build features an extensive accessory loadout including multiple optics, lasers, and flashlights, along with a high magazine capacity. The demonstration includes rapid fire, engagement of Tannerite targets, and unique shooting techniques, showcasing the rifle's capabilities and the instructor's proficiency.

This video details an extreme AR-15 meltdown test, pushing a custom build to its limits. Expert instructor Eric demonstrates the process, highlighting component durability and failure points under sustained fire. The test concludes with a catastrophic barrel failure after 830 rounds, providing valuable insights into the platform's resilience.

This guide details the process of conducting an extreme durability test on an AK-47 variant, specifically the Definitive Arms VEPR, as demonstrated by Iraqveteran8888. The test involves sustained full-auto fire to induce critical heat failure, followed by inspection of components like the barrel and gas block. The expert assessment highlights the rifle's resilience, lasting 895 rounds before failure, and compares its performance to other platforms.

This guide details a 700-round rapid-fire stress test on a Yugo M92 PAP AK-47 variant, demonstrating the platform's legendary durability under extreme heat. Performed by Eric from Iraqveteran8888, the test highlights safe handling of overheated firearms and concludes with a tribute to Mikhail Kalashnikov's engineering legacy. The firearm successfully completed the test despite significant heat buildup.
