  4. Raymond Quave on March 1, 2023 at 2:05 am

    One problem u missed one caliber the 6.8 s p c a great round similar to the 7.62×39

  5. C. Welch on March 1, 2023 at 2:07 am

    The 7.62×39 is cheap!

  6. Digiality Productions on March 1, 2023 at 2:07 am

    Thank you

  7. Brandon Tuck on March 1, 2023 at 2:08 am

    7.62x39mm goes on an AK platform..period

  8. Clinton Layne on March 1, 2023 at 2:11 am

    Seeing this today 2/28/23. What about the 350 Legend for the Straight wall states?

  9. Brettb on March 1, 2023 at 2:12 am

    300blk is the answer

  10. C. Welch on March 1, 2023 at 2:13 am

    Zastava makes good stuff. I ring the gong with an AKM at 300 yards all the time. Plenty accurate at realistic distances. Get the Serbian ammo. Cheap and excellent.

  11. Kim Harrelson on March 1, 2023 at 2:14 am

    CMMG MK47 is my favorite. 100,000 torture test would have went longer if the gas tube had held up. I love them ALL though. Thanks

  12. Edward Grobe on March 1, 2023 at 2:15 am

    Actually, the AR was originally supposed to be in caliber 308 , but the army wanted a smaller round so soldiers could carry more ammo into combat, so they came up with 5.56.

  13. Mr. Switchy on March 1, 2023 at 2:17 am

    🔥🔥🔥

  14. Kenny on March 1, 2023 at 2:17 am

    I have 1000+ 7.62X39 in the safe. cheap and reliable.

  15. Andy Graves on March 1, 2023 at 2:18 am

    I’m in love with the .300 Blackout

  16. Dave's assorted stuff Channel on March 1, 2023 at 2:19 am

    It’s all cost per round. 7.62×39 is cheap and gives better thump than .223/5.56. If 300 Blackout gets a lot cheaper that would be the round to use.

  17. Jorge Solis on March 1, 2023 at 2:21 am

    Price wise 7.62×39, performance wise 6.5 grendal/7.62×39

  18. MacGyver on March 1, 2023 at 2:25 am

    9:22 Silencer vs suppressor
    It seems pretty simple to me. It’s official name is "silencer." Many people refuse to call it that saying "it doesn’t silence; it suppresses."
    So, either you call it by its real name (silencer) or its nickname (suppressor). At this point, both names are commonly used, but only one is the correct name (silencer).

  19. Neck Bone on March 1, 2023 at 2:26 am

    Easy 7.62X39.

  20. C. Welch on March 1, 2023 at 2:26 am

    The .30 carbine hits like a .357 magnum. Bigger hole with round tipped ammo. Moves slower but twice as heavy.

  21. kevin graves on March 1, 2023 at 2:27 am

    Do some ballistic math: 300BLK, take a high ballistic coefficient bullet, change the weight but not the shape and achieve super sonic velocity to 1200+ yards. Example. 670 bc with a 115gr weight at 2150fps. Results are remarkable.

  22. Tod Simpkins on March 1, 2023 at 2:27 am

    For hunting?? 300 Hamr. Not even close.

  23. Derek Kolb on March 1, 2023 at 2:29 am

    I have a 7.62×39 pistol AR and a 16" AR 7.62x39mm rifle. Out of the 7 ARs I have, they are my favorite. Better ballistics, cheaper, and easier to find than 300 blackout. It’s a no brainer.

  24. jeff soboleski on March 1, 2023 at 2:30 am

    .50 Beowulf
    ?!?!?!?!?!?

  25. Bad Andy on March 1, 2023 at 2:31 am

    Have 5.56 and 300 BLK .
    Hog hunting both work well.
    Deer got to be 300 BLK.
    Or my .308. My 15 YO loves the 300 BLK as his designated hunting rifle.

  26. My Name is Earl on March 1, 2023 at 2:31 am

    350 legend 10.5" home defense and deer gun is pretty fun! Relatively cheap to shoot too but 300 blk is getting down there. What sold me between the two is the straight wall cartridge that I can use for hunting

  27. Tim Escalona on March 1, 2023 at 2:32 am

    .300 baby!! Hog huntn Tx!

  28. Steve Chisham: Airgun, plants, cooking, etc on March 1, 2023 at 2:32 am

    I have all four of these.
    Depends on what I am doing is what caliber I prefer. I lean towards the 6.5 Grendel. But i am happy with any of them.

  29. Kenneth Shelton on March 1, 2023 at 2:35 am

    300 blackout. The fact of going subsonic with a suppressor with a 30 caliber projectile is perfect for hog hunting. However, the 6.5 Grendel you will get more range and it’s cheaper to shoot. My personal favorite of all the A.R. 15 calibers is the 458 SOCOM.

  30. Lawrence Lobdell III on March 1, 2023 at 2:35 am

    20mm is the best caliber.

  31. nickma71 on March 1, 2023 at 2:37 am

    6.8 SPC

  32. Just In Time on March 1, 2023 at 2:37 am

    7.62×39 and 300 blackout have almost identical kinetic energies up to 250 yards. However, I would like to see how barrel length plays into this.

  33. Ryan Unruh on March 1, 2023 at 2:42 am

    You’re probably deleting all the comments about 6.8spc. it’s just not popular to love the 6.8. It’s also really popular to be gay

  34. THE Kids on March 1, 2023 at 2:44 am

    450 bm lol

  35. Marilyn Hansen on March 1, 2023 at 2:45 am

    556 with WYLDE chamber and 6.5 Grendel, I have them and like them.

  36. dundeeecroc on March 1, 2023 at 2:47 am

    Where is the 6.8spc??

  37. Herb O'Fallon on March 1, 2023 at 2:48 am

    Thanks for a great video!

  38. Stagg Degraaff on March 1, 2023 at 2:49 am

    The real question should be why would you buy that not in military use and in reality is not a combat weapon?

  39. Michael Cerrone on March 1, 2023 at 2:51 am

    What about 6mm ARC?

  40. 224 valk on March 1, 2023 at 2:53 am

    Hands down 224 Valkyrie!! I shoot Prairie dogs out to 400yrds with 50gr vmax. I ring steel at 1k plus with 85 gr noslers. Smash hogs with 80 Max. It carries 500 ft lbs out to 700 yrds! Get 6.5 twist and handload. Brass life sux though

  41. Camodad72 on March 1, 2023 at 2:54 am

    I’ve shot 6.8spc for years and love it…

  42. 1993 Cherokee on March 1, 2023 at 2:55 am

    I like how when shooting both pistols,,you didn’t shoulder the brace! Remember, they are watching.

  43. SLAYER 69 on March 1, 2023 at 2:55 am

    224 Valkyrie!! Hands down!!

  44. Pulldeaux Duck on March 1, 2023 at 2:56 am

    I’m all mixed up on the contest ,,,word???

  45. Max Hames on March 1, 2023 at 2:56 am

    .243.

  46. Justin Justin on March 1, 2023 at 2:57 am

    .223/5.56 cause I’d SHTF… parts and ammo will be found literally everywhere, just my 2 cents 🪙

  47. Franky46Boy on March 1, 2023 at 2:57 am

    Why wear a pistol in a holster while you are already so well armed? 😳

  48. Johnny Torres on March 1, 2023 at 2:59 am

    300 blk out

  49. James sammann on March 1, 2023 at 3:01 am

    224 Valk is my fav

  50. JB’SGARAGE on March 1, 2023 at 3:01 am

    The Blackout is a great round. The Grendel is also pretty awesome.
