Unbeknown to me, Ruger has had a Youtube channel since May of this year. Last week they started a series on the history of firearms. The first episode, about early hand cannons, “aired” last week and is worth watching. Also online are Part 2 and Part 3.
Robinson Armament has produced a video demonstrating the “over the beach” capabilities of their XCR rifle. It performs admirably. Head on over to the XCR Forums and download the HD version of the video. It is over 100mb but the quality is worth it. Many [Read More…]

I recently blogged about a fancy one-handed reload technique. This video demonstrates another technique, although I would be very surprised it is achievable with an unmodified handgun. The reload starts 7 seconds into the video. Has anyone been able to do this on pistol [Read More…]
This video shows a USPSA shooter load a Glock 35 and rack the slide with just one hand. He uses the inertia of the slide to rack it. It is very impressive. The shooter claims that the Glock is stock standard and that their have been no modifications to recoil spring. [Read More…]

The Cav Arms guys did an extreme dust test on an AR-15. Turns out AR-15 cannot handle being buried in sand and then run over by a Jeep … who knew? Apart from the “Jeep test”, it did really well. They also tested an AK derivative, a 5.56mm SAR-3, which [Read More…]

Inspired by the Double Barrel Pump Action we saw on Les Jones’s blog, HerrKenny decided to make his own, more professional looking, “Moe Szyslak Special”. I am very impressed by the workmenship that went into this gun and I am sure there would be many [Read More…]
It just goes to show you don’t need to be a big guy to fire a big gun, although I am sure Janne felt every ft/lb of energy! One day, we were testing .458 Winchester Magnum reloads and of course, we were just obligated to let Janne (158 cm / 58 kg) to test the [Read More…]

You have got to watch this video.
The MP5SD is the integrally suppressed version of the famous MP5 submachine gun. This video, taken by the THOR Group, shows just how silent the gun is. Unlike most videos on YouTube the sound on this video is very clear and you can distinctively hear that a lot of the [Read More…]

This animated GIF gave me a really good laugh. Sven says it is from a 1990’s 1980’s South African comedy.
Watch the below video then vote. It is all fun and games until someone gets hurt! Thanks to Jeff for finding the video.
This video demonstrates a fast AK-47 magazine change technique. The video author calls it the “Shayetet 13 style”. Shayetet 13 are an elite IDF marine special forces unit, similar to the SEALs. I would be surprised if they were the sole inventors of this [Read More…]
Those hardworking boys at American Rifle have been plinking African style with a double barreled rifles chambered in .470 Nitro Express. A spectator shouts “Fix bayonets!” 🙂 A question to those who know more about these things than me: I noticed that the [Read More…]
This is the first video I have seen of the new Beretta ARX 160 carbine. Looks like a very easy to handle rifle. I think this would sell well if it made it stateside.
James Yeager, the owner of Tactical Response, has posted a video on youtube in response the controversy over the controversial training video which shows a photographer standing next to a target downrange of students shooting live ammunition. Personally I respect [Read More…]

I rarely watch The Daily Show but I got a good laugh from this video. The biggest joke of course is that its all true. Much better than The Onion’s take on guns. Thanks to Sven for the link.
When asked what “bullpup” I generally tell people “it is a rifle where the magazine sits behind the trigger”. Rabbityrabbit came up with an idea for a bullpup where the chamber is behind the trigger, but the magazine is in the same place as it is [Read More…]
No, you did not mis-read the title. You though field stripping your AR-15 blindfolded was cool, well the Iranian army have got you beat 😉 This is quite possibly the most ridiculous video I have ever watched online!
I must admit I have wanted to see what would happen (I know what would happen but I wanted to see it 😉 ). The internet does not disappoint:
Caleb of Gun Nuts Media has produced a video demonstrating a moving/shooting drill. Good job Caleb!
