Filmed at High Desert Brutality 2023 in collaboration with @lead_cloud and the Autumn Pact.
Please note: The "NPC" was using blanks to simulate fire, all live fire was under the oversight and control of the range officer running the stage.

In this video I discuss the Uberti Schofield reproduction and discuss whether or not modern reproductions are capable of being used with real black powder.

The ZF-41 was a tiny 1.5x optic made in large numbers by Germany during WWII. It is a long eye relief design, mounted over the rear sight of a K98k, allowing unimpeded access for stripper clips to reload. These scopes are generally thought to have been complete failures, and a huge disappointment to German snipers. Well, they were disappointing to snipers; but that is because they were never intended to be used by snipers. The ZF-41 was an early example of a designated marksman's optic: something to allow the best shot in a squad to get a little extra capability to make tricky shots. It was put into service with snipers because it was available in much greater numbers than proper 4x sniper scopes, and couple be easily added to a rifle in the field.
Karl and I took a reproduction ZF-41 and K98k, and put it through some timed tests to see just how useful or useless it really was.
We were impressed at the results!

In this infosec focused video, friend and guest of the channel @DeviantOllam walks us through why Signal, a cross platform encrypted communications app, is worth using - not just for personal security, but for normalizing encryption in general.

Stage 4 & final discussion/conclusions about our experiences with the CETME-L rifles at 2G-ACM.
We're shooting the CETME-L rifles that we hand built ourselves using an HMG builder's kit!
This really is the test of our work, will the guns run? Are they reliable? Accurate? Also, what's the CETME-L like to use on the clock? That's what these 2G-ACM stages were used for to find out.
If you didn't see our multi-part series in which we built these rifles from parts kits, check it out: https://www.full30.com/search/Cetme%20l

We're mud testing the most finely manufactured and refined delayed roller blowback battle rifle ever manufactured: the Swiss StG57.
How will it compare to the designed to be mass produced G3, or even the "lowly" Cetme-L? Let's find out...

A very desperate Nazi Germany was preparing to arm everyone, quite literally everyone, with people's rifles to fight against the unslaught of the Red Army that was steadily marching into Berlin. A number of designs were created across multiple manufacturers, the most well known one being the Gustloff Werke's semi-automatic VG1-5.
Rheinmetall took a different approach, however, and designed the "VG45" - a very low cost, quick to produce bolt action rifle chambered in 7.92 kurz using detachable Mp44 magazines.
The "VG45" never made it off paper and was never produced during the war, however, a small number have been made post war and here's a brief video of Karl firing one.
The gun is light, handles very well and has very minimal recoil.
Quite honestly, it looks terrible but shoots very well.

We've been beating the drum about demonetization and advertising/sponsors being used as a weapon against content creators.
Zorka.Mobi decided to prove one of those points and that is discussed in this video.

Session 2 with Nathanial from Faxon! This time we delve into barrel profiles, barrel lengths, fluting and finalize some thoughts on nitride.
If you're interested in learning what really is going on with rifle barrels, then this is the video for you!
0:48
General discussion.
4:00
Original M16 barrel vs HBAR.
Changing bullet impact with sling pressure.
5:37
Building/buying first AR. What barrel profile do you want?
8:43
The military’s needs in a barrel profile and a civilian’s aren’t necessarily the same.
11:24
Why are people putting M4 profile barrels on semi-auto guns?
13:09
Ideally barrels are tapered, fat at the receiver and thin at the muzzle.
Barrel “whip”.
Where’s the hottest part of a barrel?
15:06
Discussion about fluting of barrels
17:04
Fluted barrels and full auto guns?
17:50
IV8888’s melt down video with Faxon barrel.
18:45
Government profile barrels are the worst of both worlds?
20:20
InRange’s visit with Jim Sullivan and his efforts towards enhancing the sustained fire capabilities of the M16 weapon system. Superheated gas tubes and failures.
21:30
Discussion about barrel lengths.
Barrel length does not determine accuracy.
So why pick specific barrel lengths?
Shorter barrels actually have more accuracy potential.
You want the shortest barrel possible for your specific application.
22:45
Small bore/high velocity cartridges are sensitive to barrel length.
Barrel length for optimal powder burn and prevention of being overbore.
Barrel length, and thus velocity, determines ballistic capabilities at range.
25:15
Why do larger diameter cartridges give up less velocity with shorter barrels than small diameter alternatives?
Surface area of the projectile factors into the pressure generated during the firing process.
Pressure increases with smaller diameter but higher velocity cartridges.
26:55
You want to ensure that your bullet stays supersonic until it reaches the target.
What happens when your bullet’s velocity falls below supersonic in flight?
28:26
Follow up on questions about nitride and potential nitride concerns.
Krieger Barrel’s email about nitride.
The nitride processing is done by a 3rd party, not the barrel manufacturer. Warranty concerns.
Nitriding a poorly manufactured barrel means you actually could make it worse.
The nitride process, temperature and what can go wrong if done improperly.
When done properly, multiple manufacturers agreed that it is a good solution.
QC on barrels post nitride process.
