Why You Shouldn’t Use 55 Grain 5.56 In A Short AR15 Barrel - 11.5 Velocity Test
มุมมอง 14K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
This is a short video showing different velocities from various 55 Grain 5.56 and .223 loads, out of a shorter 11.5 inch barrel. The point is to show how limited you are on effective range, if using this ammo in your SBR or AR Pistol.
The Best Optic Combo - Why It’s Not An LPVO
มุมมอง 2.4K28 วันที่ผ่านมา
I go over my long term (7-8 years) testing of which optic choice I think is best for a serious use rifle. This is my opinion, but I give examples and explanation as to why I have come to this conclusion. Im not saying LPVO’s do not have their place, but I do not believe they are durable enough for a gun that will be abused in a “duty” style role. Nor do I think affordable options are as “user f...
Did Olight Fix The OSight?

In this video, I test whether or not the Olight Osight will hold zero, with the updated screws (for the Zev cut RMR slide). This Osight did not lose zero randomly, like other youtubers example did. So this example worked correctly initially. I believe this example had good QC, compared to some others that Ive seen reviewed. The issue was with the original included screws.

Budget LPVO Destruction Test - How Durable Is An LPVO?
มุมมอง 681หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video, I test out how durable LPVO’s are when dropped on various surfaces. The goal is to determine how tough LPVO’s actually are, since no one online abuses them to the point of failure. These scopes are budget options, but this test should give a good idea about more expensive options, because they are all make of 6061-T6 aluminum. I also show what can happen to top mounted red dots a...

While this optic is closer in price to duty options, I think it actually fits in with those options in most areas.

However, I will also talk about what I believe to be design flaws. Overall, this is a good option for those who want the features this red dot comes with. However some of the features and tolerances of this optic need some adjustment, in my opinion. Hope...

Impressive
Call me crazy, but I am not very concerned with optic durability. I'm sure the tests answer questions for other people, but regardless of what optic I run, I will baby it and treat it gently and check its zero often. I basically treat them all like they are precision instruments, but I also see them as disposable compared to the gun itself.
@@chillmonkey6782 I look at them/use them as life saving devices. So I like knowing they are rugged enough to handle abuse that comes with that roll. Although I do have many guns/optics that I do baby 👍

Checking back in for a dumb question...does this magnifier have a lower 1/3 riser? All i see is absolute and 1.93
@@douglascuvillyed.s8211 It is absolute without a spacer I believe. With the included spacer, it’s lower 1/3. You have to buy the 1.93 riser separately. At least thats how it was when I got it 👍

I’ve done this today and my ear pro slide up and down the adapter for some reason how can I fix that ?
@@Diinoh Thats normal, you can add some hot glue, electrical tape, or anything to the adapter, to add girth 👍 I didnt need to, but in theory, it should work
Shoutout to my sling for keeping this from happening 🙌 I don’t believe expensive vs budget lpvos are going to show that much of a difference in a test like this. They all use “space grade” aluminum tubes to save weight. No matter the material it’s going to be thin walled and therefore less rigid
You mean to say “don’t mount SHITTY red dots on top of your LPVO” try that again with an RMR…
@@user-um6os7lj2s Im taking donations 😂 an RMR would most likely survive 👍
Thanks for sharing! 👍
@@othnielbendavid9777anytime 👍
Go with the 20 inch barrel AR-15A4. It will complement any scenario. And, this model is authorized for US Service Rifle Competition, which is the ideal venue for any who want to develop their marksmanship. Those who want to get into Service Rifle Competition can sign up for the USAMUs Small Arms Firing School, a 3 day annual event at Camp Perry, where Champion Military Shooter instruct civilian students on everything there is to know about shooting.
@@charlesludwig9173 20 inch is a good choice. A bit long with a suppressor though.
This is real simple... Lighter projectiles need higher velocity to impart more energy on impact. If you run a short barrel and shoot lighter weight projectiles, you are limiting your platform to shorter ranges of effectiveness. This is why 300 BO was developed. I personally will not own a weapon chambered in .223/5.56 with a barrel under 16".
Prism + Magnifier is The Way.
Don't drop your LPVO...drops LPVO!

Their prism scopes aren't as bulletproof as people think they are, either.

Would the screws work on a direct rmr cut slide without the plate?

@poortac5568 lol I thought I was an airsoft company when I first opened web page. I forgot for a second I was looking for an ar15 charging handle. Is that what you thought? It reminded me of this girl on youtube who dresses up in weeb costumes and does tac reloads with what I'm assuming is an "ar15". Every video has millions of views.

Enclosed red dots would certainly not do this (at least on the first drop).
@@AlwaysAiming The full size enclosed ones would definitely do better. I plan on testing an enclosed “pistol” red dot this way at some point as well 👍
@@poortac5568 Yea. Nothing is indestructible tho. That's like doing a drop test on a cell phones and complaining that a phone is cheap if the screen cracks 😂. Folks need to learn to not drop their gun.
@@AlwaysAiming Accidents happen and people trip and fall. It happens a lot in training. Thats why I like knowing a setups durability 👍
@@poortac5568 Ok 👍
@@poortac5568mission dependent is more important than planning for every possibility. This is like gshock fanboys bragging how their watch can survive an explosion, but not considering whether their hand can. The only time you’re dropping the rifle like this is if you are literally free falling 6 feet onto your head or being ejected from a vehicle.
That’s why my home defense gun is a 14.5 p/w M4A1. I can still train with 55 gr and use it for home defense. Looking to get a bulk of 77gr soon for my mk18 so I can zero it and use it in case I need it for home defense since it got a suppressor. Would you still consider training with 55gr since it’s cheaper?
@@esTaleCSGO as long as its within 200 yards, I use 55 grain for training 👍
Thats why i did 12.5 the extra inch is about an extra 100fps iirc. Btw I miss those perfecta days. I think it was about $15 for 50 rounds at walmart.

@@johnmorganjr769 good to know 👍
But can they survive being shot on a rifle?
@@rondobrondo mine have so far 👍
I'll never understand why people who are willing to buy and review these are never willing to TEAR IT APART so we can SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE INSIDE and whether or not it even has the internal support/potting necessary to protect it and keep it working. Knowing what it looks like inside would be a HUGE benefit
@@rondobrondo highly doubt its potted. That said, ive had multiple chinese clones on ARs for a while and they continue to work. I look at these as spares and training tools.
What BRAND is this Chinese light? SOTAC? WADSN? what is it?
@@rondobrondo no idea, no brand, Chinese clone off Ebay. The Wadsn ones look identical though.
@poortac5568 fragmentation is really not the primary wounding mechanism you need to be worrying about. What you want is a cartridge that stays above 2200 fps for the longest distance and after that you want to make sure it gets 12 inches of penatration. Rifle rounds are not pistol rounds. The only reason we worry about mass is to get deeper penatration and specifically for pistol rounds going below 2200 fps, that and the bullet shape is the only thing we can do to dictate that. But with rifle rounds fmj can do 4x the damage and be half the weight so long as they have the velocity. So back to this, which round goes the deepest and which round stays above 2200 fps for the longest? Because the moment your fps drops below that fps you're shooting a longer heavier 22LR and will ice pick. It might be a deep ice pice but it wont behave like a rifle round that gives that hydrostatic shock effect. 55 grain stays above 2200 fps out to 150 meters from 10 inch barrel. 69 grain out to 100 meters. 77 grain out to 50 meters...? 40 grain solid copper fort scott tui munitions would stay above 2200 fps out to 250 meters.
