Franklin Armory has skirted NFA SBR regulations by producing a gun so uniquely odd that it really can't be defined by law or practical definition. The "Reformation" has rifling, but it's straight rifling. As a result, it's not a shotgun because it has rifling, but it's not imparting spin to the projectile so it, theoretically, it's not a SBR (short barreled rifle) either. Franklin Armory has developed a weird football shaped proprietary projectile that they claim can perform at 1 MOA at 100 yards (in this video). The rifle can also use standard ammunition but with "sporadic" results. Hmmm. We discuss this rifle and the ammunition, along with trying to understand the rationale and claims being made about the REFORMATION.

What do you believe is the biggest flaw in each platform? 02:44 London J I've asked this a couple times, still interested: what are your opinions on hyper burst (SPIW, duplex, AN94, etc) and counter recoil (AN94 sorta, AK107, AEK971, etc) systems? Could they have a place in civilian centered firearms? Keep on being great, guys! 11:35 Martin B Hi. Thank you for making the most awesome content on youtube. I have a question about modern infantry rifles and their operating mechanisms. As far as I know, all infantry rifles developed the last few decades use a gas piston system, either long or short stroke piston. Why don't we see any newly developed delayed blowback rifles? And why no new direct gas impingement like the AR? All the more recent developments like the HK416 and SCAR seem to be short stroke gas piston . The G3 and MP5 were very successful. Is there something that makes delayed blowback inferior or undesirable in a modern infantry rifle? 18:35 Serge S I'd like to know your stance on fixed magnification optics as primary issue to combat troops. I was a big fan of the Trijicon ACOGs that the USMC issued to all Marines and even today run one on my 14.5" carbine setup. I know you guys have brought up 2.5x vs 4x vs other magnifications, but what is your rationale to sticking to the lower end of the magnification range given that (in my experience) even 4x is not quite enough to reliably engage human sized target at 600 meters under field conditions? In a related question, what is your take on the Bindon aiming concept Combatives 22:43 Jeremy J My question is about rifle camouflage. During the recent wars, the US decided to allow soldiers to spray paint their rifles for better camouflage in the field. Additionally, some rifles that the military purchased came from the factory coated in camo colors. Do you think spray painting will continue for wars to come, or will the US and other countries settle on some new type of coating? 24:02 Matthew K Per your "Is a PGO shotgun the ultimate home defense weapon?" video, I've been thinking. Since the double-barreled coach gun performed so well in everything but reloads, do you think the Chiappa Triple Threat may actually be the best home-defense shotgun out there? It has all the simplicity of a coach gun but with three barrels, well, you're covered in the event of three assailants rather than two.
