They gotta teach you young what tool to use next time Timmy is mean to you again!

Children are one of the most important groups to learn safety. And common sense that includes knowing when and how to protect yourself from danger

Btw, video is setup as not for kids...

I don't think you can fire one the lock is pulled

Indeed. He was one of my most favorite blogers in our niche. He will be missed

Do you think PSA / AAC just buys the bullets from Hornady or Hornady produces this ammo for AAC?

It says on the PSA website description for these : "Bullet Type: Sabre Blade Black Tip; Developed With & Is Manufactured By Hornady". Their performance is similar to VMAX , the KZbin channel "tools and targets" has some tests on ballistics gelatin you can check out. They basically fragment very rapidly and dump their energy in the first few inches. The base penetrates about 10-12 inches in clear ballistics gel. I'd consider them to be good varmint rounds or for defensive purposes if you are concerned with over penetration.

Ruger magazines are 15 round capacity. Glock, upto 100

It is definitely not for everyone, the trigger is very heavy, and sights are basically non-existent.

@@PracticalWeapons oh I can get used to that I just read reliability issues so that scared me is all

I hate to shoot it but no issues with it so far

Me neither, but still waiting for marlin 1854 vs in 357 to be reintroduced

The shorter one on the right is SL-M.

I think folding or short vertical grip would be a nice addition, and of course a suppressor

What did you change the brace to do that it gets in the way?

Only if the dust cover is regular AK length.

Ok great thank you so very much

If it has regular length dust cover it should fit

You can choose what type, but not very specific. For my purpose it works since I do want a lot of different types, fir tests and fun, but if you want to get specific rounds I have not tried to.

Upon checking just now, they list most common ammunition for each type, for example for 22lr match "Our 22 LR Match Grade will consist of these products: 22 LR Norma Match-22 40 LRN 50 /ct 22 LR Eley Match 40 LFN 50 /ct" So you can sort of pick what you get...

And there is another video on how certain optic mounts on gen 3 can get in the way

That is a good point, I thought I did since that is the main difference

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYbFn3-lnt9jqqM I have shown it in comparison video, will need to re do this one

@@PracticalWeapons have you had any experience shooting it? I have the gen 2 and love it for what it is. I heard they upgraded the bolt and trigger system, do you know if this is accurate?

@Yung-Ohld I don't actually own one, went to the Ruger PC route. Let me ask if the store employees have any answers to your question. Since I need to remake this short anyway

@@PracticalWeapons gotcha let me know what you find out, the ruger .45 carbine with the folding stock has caught my eye recently lol.

Prices are different in each store thus I do not mention them in videos, also to avoid potential issues with KZbin. I would recommend checking some of your local places and online to compare

I will need to re-try that. I have all you listed other than Chinese AKs (though saw them back in 90s for $130 was not interested in such at the time, had enough AKs coming from USSR back then)

@@PracticalWeapons You mean Russia? Yeah, Chinese AKs are better quality than most Eastern European. If there is any mark against them it might be the blued finish on Chinese guns. Sights don't tend to be canted on Chinese guns. The specs aren't as loose. Accuracy is better, by 1 MOA even. People get 25000 rounds through a Chinese barrel and wear is half what it would be on a European gun. American AKs are junk. Still.

@@rmichaelzachary8574 I came here when it was still USSR on most documents...There were only two real licensed AK manufacturers - Bulgarian and Chinese as the Sovient engineers built those factories and requipped them, and provided full technical documentation. American AKs now are just Palmetto and Century. Some PSA AKs (GF5 for example) have a fairly good reputation. Century made (not imported) are depending on what the monkeys were drinking the day before.

@@PracticalWeapons Licensed USSR AKs before the fall of the Soviet Union were from Hungary (FEG), Egypt (Maadi) and one could say Rumania, but those were crude even then. Chinese and Yugo AKs are reversed engineered from Soviet weapons so the specs are different. Chinese AKs have been to war more than any others and their engineers perfected the design, excellent guns. Yugo AKs were good then too, but didn't have chrome lined barrels. The Russian AKs started coming in in the late 1990s after the fall of the Soviet Union, Saigas first, then VEPRs, then Super VEPRs. A VEPR is an excellent AK. But they came from Russia. Bulgarian guns also arrived in the 1990s, but the Bulgarians did not produced AKMs at the time for the US market, only milled AK-47 type AKs - they were decent. All of these weapons were affected by the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 which lasted until 2004. In 1994 the Clinton administration banned import of all rifles from China; that ban remains in place to this day. I would rank these AKs as 1). Chinese Polytech/Norinco 2). Russian VEPR 3). Bulgarian Arsenal milled 4). Yugo M70 5). Russian Saiga 6). Hungarian FEG 7). Egyptian Maadi 8). Rumanian WASR. Century guns aren't up to snuff. Riley isn't much better. PSA on their new AKs can't even true front sights, uses second standard parts and does spreewerk quality hit and miss AKs. Kalashnikov USA also skimps on the quality of their parts. USA AKs in general are a pass. Other AK type rifles which are good from the 1980s and 1990s are Finnish Valmets and Israeli Galils - they're not worth what people charge for them today. A good 5.56N rifle based off the AK was the FN FNC, also not worth what they cost today. I once thought Chinese AKs were nothing special because they were cheap, plentiful, came with thumbhole stocks and had blued finishes. But accuracy-wise, reliability-wise, longevity-wise the Chinese AKs are the best.

@rmichaelzachary8574 my first ak was arsenal slr-101, ban milled model, for $300 in early 2000s. There was also easy Germany producing aks under license, as well as India and North Korea

I also have the mck, in fact have even the original Roni too. Let me try to compare them

For now here is the old comparison kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2jLoGaMbb90bq8

You are welcome to stop by, it has some nice and funky people working there. Lakeland FL, West Pawn

Looks like there were some negative finding with Glock models... Maybe they will fix and re-release. I went the Recover Tactical 20/20 way myself.

@@PracticalWeapons I was going to go that route too, but I saw many reviews that looking through an optic with the stock is very uncomfortable. Can you confirm?

I added an optic mount and it made huge improvement to the comfort and removed neck bending issue

@@PracticalWeapons thank you sir!

@@Null_Null_Null I am going to have a short video on it this week

Thank you, I am actually a fan of country music

It came installed from Beretta

They have this plate www.beretta.com/en-us/product/beretta-apx-a1-red-dot-optic-plate-kit--burris--docter-footprint-E03055

Who makes the mount for just 30 bucks? Magnifier mount for a red dot... Hmm

​@@PracticalWeaponsFeyachi T15 on Amazon. And a few others.

Thank you, I will take a look. Did not see anything that will be a stable mount there, but thing might have changed

@@PracticalWeapons Also check out Otterman Outdoors for the Duel Spare Mag Buttstock

They do, but due to this being LeftistTube I cannot mention it

@@PracticalWeapons ahh ok I got ya 🤣

What are you talking about? I don't even know what rave is

Also take a look at cz p10, and Springfield xdm elite. Those are in comparable price range and are nice pistols.

Noted

That is a valid point. If you want irons, gen gen 2. If you want optics and suppressor, gen 3 and I would go with micro prism, but a red dot. Some companies make models specifically for 9mm

@@PracticalWeapons my Gen 2 is threaded and can run a suppressor? Mine is a 40S&W

@eclectic3618 how is the recoil on 40? I have never shot a 40 out of long barrel

@@PracticalWeapons I have the buffer ring, and the Otterman Outdoors duel Spare Magazine stock upgrade and the mcarbo tube cover so recoil is not bad at all. I use mine for Hogs mostly on the ranch.

@eclectic3618 I have been considering going hunting here, but current 100+ heat is stopping me.. 7.62x39 is my hog caliber, in AR. I need to get a can and night vision on it, when or if finances allow

I can do that, let me try recording on the next weekend

It is indeed a steel core, price I don't remember right now, not cheap

@@PracticalWeapons Well, i mean that is subjective. I consider underwood controlled chaos expensive at about $2.09 a round. Some tracer incendiary stuff i got was $4 each. My .338 Lapua is $4 each for training and $8-9 for match grade. I found some of the Norinico for $25 a box, so I got 15 boxes, and wanted too compare cause ya don't find it everyday type thing. My favorite all-purpose 7.62x39 is the Fort Scott. It usually goes for $30 a box but found some for $20 a box last month. Stocked up and got 1000 rounds of it.

I think they were cheaper than that, it was about $20 per box. I will check if the store has any more, I live quite a bit away from large cities so we don't get big crowds in these stores

With the default mount it will be in absolute cowitness. If you buy a higher mount you can make it lower 1/3. Personally I like the absolute co-witness because with the Red Dot down the irons can be set at the same point

In which model of scorpion?

@@PracticalWeapons micro

@jaylehman5173 thank you. I wonder if newer gen guns work better with these magazines

Lol

Awesome, thank you!

Lap usually means it will penetrate old world war 2 German steel helmet. Almost anything of intermediate caliber can go through soft armor of level 3a and lower

@@PracticalWeapons okay but it will still penetrate rifle armor that’s made from pure UHMWPE with no ceramic.

@user-oy9zy4ds9m as long as it is under level 3 it sure will

@@PracticalWeapons no it will go through “3+” polyethelene armor rated for m193 and .308, 7.62 lead core only. Green tip still penetrates it because of its steel core. UHMWPE armor is good at stopping extra high velocity lead core rifle rounds but is not good at stopping slower rounds that have a steel core.

you are talking about just poly armor, not hybrid, right? I have not seen 3+ from that material, but any armor level 3 rated is supposed to stop M855. Note, not the new M855A1 - that requires RF2 - ie Level 3+ or higher. Of course any Level IV will stop both

That is good, though I only use those fo training. Gas or electric models can closely simulate real ones for exercise

That is good!

@@RuBearUSA. No im actually asking but I write it wrong

It seems to require a special import permit in Israel, at least per internet. So they can be imported by specially licenses retailers only.

@@PracticalWeapons in Israel this thing is so hard like there is not any information about airsoft is legal or not or does it have license or something I really love the airsoft but i dont know what i do

I consider myse;f a southerner as well, since my first years in US were spent in Arkansas (I went to Uni of Arkansas) and it is good to near the southern drawl in videos. I am looking into suppressors, need to find the ones I like, and this pistol is likely going to be a host for one.

Thank you! and for us southerners gun safety rules are slightly differently enhanced, due to heat, sun and humidity (I am in Florida after all).
