FIREARM VS PUMPKINS, Which firearm destroys pumpkins the best? In this very spooky special we will be putting lead to gourd in the most kinetic way possible. Which gun will do the best? ONLY SCIENCE CAN TELL US. Very spooky, very Halloween special

The SVD / Dragunov video took us a long time to complete. The Dragunov is perhaps the most recognizable sniper / dmr out there. I hope you enjoy this video and we do a dive on the SVD and see if we are Soviet Sniper material.

The VZ. 58 (VZ 58) is probably among my favorite rifles chambered in 7.62x39, and it has perhaps the most interesting history. It 100% showed the world the prowess of the Czech's to make a strong, simple and reliable weapon despite being a smaller country compared to the Soviet Union and their venerable AKM.

Basics of Recce and recon is a subject that is near and dear to my heart. In the following 20-30 part series over the coming years I will be instructing and showing you every single thing I know about becoming deadly in the woods/mountains, from the basics to the advanced applications of Recce and recon. I hope that you enjoy this multi part series and are able to make yourself more proficient in this very crucial skill set.

The Knight's Armament SR-15 is perhaps one of the best fighting carbines currently being made. The SR-15 is joined by many other great manufacturers that have also made improvements to the AR-15 system such as LMT and HK. The KAC SR-15 is well gassed for combat loaded ammunition, reliable and sports a cold hammer forged barrel. In my testing over the years I've found it to be an ideal rifle in every way.

Springfield Armory has given us the SA-35! The Springfield Armory SA-35 is a faithful reproduction of the famed Browning Hi Power. And while it does eliminate some of the issues found in the original Hi Power the SA-35 is still none the less suffering from some teething issues. Head into the comments and let us hear your thoughts!

50 Cal Explosive Bullets vs Torso. What would happen if we fired 50 Cal Explosive Bullets into a torso, or in this case a ballistic dummy labs expertly crafted torso? These are questions that have plagued us for a long time but Dr. Garand Thumb (Garand DUMB) is here to answer the questions you never asked. Utilizing ball, spotter-tracer and RAUFOSS we are here to increase you knowledge. Enjoy.

In this video we go over the basics of Recce Rifle Setup / Mountain Rifle setup. Hopefully in this video we can begin to answer your question of, "How should you setup a rifle?"These are topics that have been near and dear to my heart for a long time. I've been lucky enough to spend much of my adult life in the woods training (larping) on the governments dime. I hope that with these and other videos we can get you guys to be both more in touch with the mountains and more deadly while there. I appreciate every one of you.

In this video we ask the important questions. How deadly/effective is your 9mm carry ammo? Here we use a Glock 17 firing 9mm vs a human torso analog from ballistic dummy labs. 9mm is a deadly round without a doubt and while the results are underwhelming (lol just 9mm) it still hopefully shows the ballistic capabilities of the round. As always we hope you enjoy!
