If you make the barrel long enough, it will act as a suppressor. There was an article from Guns&Ammo like 20 years ago about some dude that made an like a 6 ft long barrel for his 12 ga pump action and it made it completely silent. Didn't have to register it either. 🙂

[@blackopsman_21]

I've actually tried this before, Hastings use to sell a 32" barrel extension that screws into your choke threads. I already had a 32" barrel on the gun, making it 64" total in length. The noise was maybe 20% reduced, the extra weight and length made the gun recoil less, and the direction was straight into your shoulder rather than rotating upwards. The patern at 25yds was about the same as a full choke with a very center heavy shot column. The biggest issue is that the threads on my barrel weren't cut perfectly concentric to the bore, so the extension actually wasn't perfectly in line with the barrel, making it hard to hit any clays.

[@patrickhutchings6926]

As a hand loader I'm very surprised that you gained that much velocity with that barrel. I thought you would start to lose velocity after a certain point due to bullet drag. Fascinating.

[@fajile5109]

Goes to show from what i read it said bullet drag would out weigh velocity gain after 26-28 inches

[@herrcobblermachen]

It may have started to lose velocity already- just not compared to the 16". Had it been a 30" barrel maybe it would have been faster. What I was always cautioned with long barreled ARs was that the action would unlock early, and that you'd need the +2 gas system to offset that, etc. I couldnt see definitively here, but the brass flying out didnt particularly look scorched to me. I didn't experience any issues running a 28" 6.5g with a carbine buffer and rifle length gas system *shrug* didnt measure my gas port hole size. Now the big question for us handloaders is- whats the slowest burning powder for 223 to get the most out of that thang ;)

[@hibahprice6887]

are you joking? If this were the case, gases and flames would not fly out of the barrel, the pressure does not go anywhere, the volume of gases that fill the barrel is important, and it will be enough for 27 inches

[@robisfantasticutube]

@@fajile5109 I heard 6 was the sweet spot.

[@Ogrematic]

It probably did.

[@GeorgeCowsert]

Fun fact: the AR15 was specifically developed around 20" barrels after testing with the then brand new 5.56 caliber revealed some interesting data. At around 20 inches of barrel length, the ammo they were using had the velocity needed to create significant shockwaves in flesh; shockwaves that would require highly trained medics to deal with, all with a smaller entrance point. In some tests, the flesh would flex in a way where it would suck in air and compress it to the point of causing it to ignite, triggering a small explosion. So while the 16 and later 14 inch barrels would become the most prevalent barrel lengths for the AR15, be aware that its 20 inch option was specifically beloved by Eugene Stoner due to its lethality.

As far as I know each round has an optimal barrel length based on the powder load.

Lol nice. Another good and funny video, and Scott is a great entertainer. :) Good one man. I'm sure someone's already mentioned it, but a third rifle with a 20 or 22" barrel would have been a good idea to have in this video as well. Past 24-26" the increased barrel length actually starts to reduce velocity due to drag of the bullet along the barrel. So having a third point of comparison would have shown that, while that super long barrel is hilarious, it's actually a hindrance to performance rather than a help. But totally it's got the same vibe as the Joker's ludicrously long-barreled revolver, and it's worth having on that fun basis alone, lol.

There's a few hundred professional F class target shooters that use 28-34" barrels regularly in smaller cartridges like .308 to give them a slight velocity edge over the 24-26" barrels.

That was my first thought too... i was surprised to see it cycle so well

The look on Scott’s face while shooting the fruit is priceless

[@crazyfvck]

Your results make sense, because the original AR and M16 were designed with a 20" barrel. But everyone seems to prefer 16" or shorter barrels these days. Adding more length makes the round perform a little bit better, at least in this case. There are other rounds that perform better with shorter barrels, and actually lose velocity with longer barrels.

[@OneHappyCrazyPerson]

Shorter barrels hotter loads

[@GnohmPolaeon.B.OniShartz]

Its gonna differ depending mass and gas. If the barrel is too short, you're venting gas, too long and the round can create a wall of air in front of its self traveling the length and lose substantial power. Assuming maximum efficiency matters to you. It is a bullet after all. As long as there IS a barrel. Its going somewhere fast.

Every time I watch one of Scott’s new videos I realize it is only a matter of time until it’s “put a thumb in it” pt. 2

[@johnathanstorm6939]

Someone has a larger shotgun than a 10 gauge. It’s a 4 gauge and it’s the KS23 and it’s totally ridiculous. Maybe we can see a video on that one of these days, great video as always man

I concur.

That was a cool video but I’d rather see Scott get his hands on a 2 gauge punt gun.

"Judy Chop"... A highly advanced move within Karen-Karate. Kentucky-Foo Master and our beloved Sensei, Scott, describes it here at 4:42. 👱‍♀👋🥋🤣

"MY AR-15 LENGTH IS GREATER THAN YOURS!" -Pain, probably

[@MRGAINZ666]

the AR took some Barrel enlargement pills lol

[@melodicgrog]

Considering where the gas tube is midway down the barrel the velocity could be higher if the action didn’t start opening to let the gas out so early

[@benny4162]

Now we need a foregrip of a proper length for it and the sight all the way at the end. A modern musket.

[@SMGJohn]

Irony if that was bullpup, you could get away with a 36 inch barrel LOL

[@popsicle5906]

The 36 inch Barrel made the gun so heavy there was virtually zero recoil

[@jakvalentine]

This breeds the question, longest .50 bmg? Longest shotgun? Longest .50 S&W magnum? Longest .50 AE? lol, I love your videos!!! Thank you for making them!!! Stay safe and I wish you and yours much happiness!

[@davidbanan.]

Knowing how that I don't have an AR-15 i can say with 100% Certainty that your AR, Mr. Scott, is longer than mine

[@riskybiscuit5594]

Fun fact, standard 556 out of a 16-18" barrel won't penetrate AR500 3-A armor but if u shoot from a 28"+ barrel, it will punch holes through it like swiss cheese.

[@eviljesus1482]

This thing needs a full length rail covered in 2X magnifiers and a lone 4x optic 😆

The long barrel fires at almost exactly 1 kilometer per second. Nice.

My AR barrel is only mid length, but at least my fun-haver isn't. 😂
