POTD: Full Auto Shorty 1919 = Awesome
@triplermunitions posted a video of a shorty 1919 being fired full auto. Given the barrel reduction and therefore weight reduction, this could be a great candidate for the steadicam rig. What barrel length do you think that shorty 1919 has? Looks like 12-14 inches? The muzzle flash is quite significant.
Speer 9mm 124 gr Short Barrel Gold Dot Gel Test Review
We fired Speer 124 gr Short Barrel Gold Dot from a S&W Shield through heavy clothing and bare gel to assess penetration, expansion, and retained weight. The Speer Gold Dot is one of the most highly regarded handgun projectiles for defense, but we find some surprising results with this load.
TFBTV: The Turkish SAP-6 Mag-Fed Short-Barrel Pump Shotgun
In this episode of TFBTV, Edward O takes a look at the Turkish SAP-6 pump-action shotgun. This short barrel gun feeds from 6 or 11 round detachable magazines, and is available in 12 inch, 14 inch, and 18 inch barrel lengths. In Canada, these shotguns have a dedicated following as camp guns, truck guns, and tactical shotguns.
TFB Review: Tactical Solutions' X-ring SB-X Barrel for 10/22
The Ruger 10/22, by dint of its modular construction, it quite easy to modify. Trigger packs, bolts, receivers, stocks and barrels are easy to change out for many purposes. Many people enjoy shooting them suppressed. Though eye and ear protection should be worn at all times on a public range, plinking in your back 40 or small game hunting can be enjoyed with no risk of hearing damage when using a suppressor. However, adding a suppressor means adding extra barrel length. In order to keep the 10/22 in a light, compact and handy package, short barrels are available but require paperwork and a tax stamp (at least in the USA). The Tactical Solutions SB-X Barrel allows for a compact suppressed platform without all the red tape (assuming one already has a suppressor).
Gelatin Test of Heizer Pocket AR and Pocket AK
When the Heizer Defense .223 Remington Pocket AR and 7.62x39mm Pocket AK single shot rifle caliber pistols were released to the market, the question on many people’s minds was: Out of such a short barrel, will those calibers really be very powerful or effective at all? The folks at GunsAmerica apparently wondered the same thing, prompting them to conduct gelatin tests of the two little pistols to see just what they could do. The article documenting their test is linked here, and the accompanying video embedded below:
A 2″ Barreled AR-15 SBR (No, Really)
There are some who say that the AR-15 and its direct impingement gas system is poorly suited to shorter barrel lengths. High Caliber Conversions, LLC laughs in the face of those people:
