Video Of The Day

[Obiwan]

Back in the days, on another forum David ran, we had a thread called "Video of the Day". (Or Youtube of the Day? Don't remember exactly). It was a thread where folks could share great videos they came across on Youtube or elsewhere. I'm not sure if this will work here, since often there is a considerable discussion following posted videos. I searched the forum for "video" and "youtube" and got no results. So I thought I'd give this a try.

 

Here is neat video I just came across. While I can't attest to accuracy, historical or otherwise, what surprised me was how many different guns, machine guns and machine pistols were featured in this one video. They were presented in a rapid fire succession (pun intended ). While this may not be anything new for most of you, you might enjoy it simply for the amount of guns featured. Enjoy!

Don't know who he is, but became a fan with he said, "let's put away the tactical ass-holery."

Excellent. Thanks for sharing.

[Trekbike]

Thanks for the video.    Since we're on the subject of Dave.    I thought this was worth posting up.

Forgotten Weapons recently  posted a couple videos on a Minigun. The first one dives into the mechanics, the second is slow-motion footage. Enjoy and have a Merry Christmas!

The beginning of this made me instantly think of this great series:

You may not like the bling, but there's no denying the level of craftsmanship in these:

If you ever wanted to see what goes on inside a suppressor, here's some interesting slow-mo footage of suppressors with a clear casing.

Short version:

 

There's also an Extended Version of this session.

One of the cans has an interesting baffle design, and while it seems quite effective on retaining gas flow, it makes me wonder how much that increases back pressure.

Prince Rupert drops are molten glass droppings that carry a lot of internal stress and can be broken rather easily by breaking the tail. However, the head seems rather sturdy, seeing how it survived point blank shots from a 22mag and 38spcl. Nice high speed footage. (I love high-speed bullet impact videos... lol). Enjoy!

Something on the lighter side:

 

[KahrMan]

I liked the Spray and Pray

[Obiwan]

Hot from the production floor. Another Manny Mansfield...

 

(I laughed out loud when the bullets fell off the target paper)

That was funny. 

[Obiwan]

Manny reports from SHOT show.

Thanks @Obiwan! Chris Baker has an excellent sense of humor. I much prefer his character's take vs the other numerous Shot Show vids on the web.
