Arken SH4 Drop Test
We accidentally drop test an Arken SH4. We were impressed that the glass survived such a hard fall and that the turrets continued to track correctly.

With airsoft being brought up more and more frequently as of late as a proper training tool, we decided to throw our two cents into the mix. We both met through airsoft over 6 years ago and have a lot to thank airsoft for when it comes to our training mindset, kit, gun setup, and teamwork. Learn about how we view airsoft and how you can benefit from it as well.

Should you be passive aiming under nods?
Is there such thing as one rifle to rule them all?
Просмотров 7772 года назад
After the success of the last video posted we decided to sit down and record a long format discussion about the “do all rifle”. Is it a thing? Can you achieve it? We go over everything we can when it comes to the subject. Let us know what you think. What you’d like next. We’re always open to criticism as well! Link is in our bio.
Let’s be honest. We civilians simply have 2 models of 5.56 field rifle, roughly differentiated by cost: MD2020 and M69420.
Well this was a waste of time to watch.
Thanks for commenting and giving us even more engagement.
Sweet intro
What are the 2 little dual rail-cover-looking-things on the right side? They add a lot to the look
Larue rail covers/clips
Index clips ❤ I have them on every open pic slot on every firearm me and my extended family own. I even clip them onto the bottom rails on my handguns 😂 Over the years I’ve amassed plenty of colors and they do great for a color scheme. My Colt LE6920 M4A1 SOCOM II, which is the civi OE Block II offering from Colt from the period, picked up in 2012/2013, has every open slot on all 4 sides filled with a LaRue index clip. It’s kept my rail comfy and brand new ❤️
I got a Colt socom profile 14.5 but since I have the ris 3 on my 13.9 I wanted to try something different so I went with a Geissele 13.5 mk4
law tac on a suppressed 14.5 is kinda dumb. no?
If you watch the video you’ll hear the reasoning.
What did you use for scrim
If you just look up camo netting on Amazon you can buy big sheets of it in different colors.
Still functional ....that's a'win.
100%
❤
Making lemonade from life’s lemons with this video. Great idea for a video.
Very true lol
Man, you got everything AND the kitchen sink on that thing. I understand the functionality of every component, but how about just an AR-15A4 with a Leupold optic OR an AR-15A2 with iron sights.
Because I don’t want to
@@projectblackhills That is a good reason. If you are able to slap anymore swag on that build, I will love to see it. Do you have a night vision device on this 5.56mm build? Maybe make an AR-10 7.62mm version with even MORE on it.
Just the ir laser/illuminator. We did have a 308 ar10 a while back but just wasn’t our cup of tea. Maybe in the future though!
@@projectblackhills To see IR you need night vision, it that correct? A laser is visible to the naked eye, I think. I love the 5.56mm NATO round, too, and it was interesting to see you guys pushing it out past 800M, especially with that wind. Is your 14.5" barrel an SBR? Is it a standard diameter (government profile vs. heavy or light)? I had a Colt AR-15A2 HBAR back in the 1980s, but I sold it. I plan to buy Stag or Fulton AR-15A4 with a heavy barrel. I will put some kind of optic on it, but I am a bit of a minimalist and will also use the iron sights, and I will not even put a rail on it--I like the stock handgrips. My idea of a "build" is an IWI Zion 16" AR with a simple optic. My next 7.62mm NATO rifle will be an M1A.
Good stuff, heard you mention the buffer system. If you get a chance before you get the a5, try out the giessle h3 with braded spring. Ive been runnin it in my 13.7 suppressed for about 3 years now its been awesome, ive tested the a5 on a buddies 13.7 and theres so little difference to me i didnt see the point to go to it. Only thing id do to that rig you got at this point would be rattle can that bitch lol.
Id be curious to see this kind of test at these kind of ranges with 13.7 and 14.5 head to head. Ive been runnin a 13.7 for about 5 years now and alway been curious how close they are, i just dont have anywhere to stretch mine out passed 200.
The velocity difference is very minimal so I’d expect very similar results.
Dont be a weak cunt! Be a strong cunt!!! But ur right. Its a little heavy
ofc the K is going to have less back-pressure than the S.

MINUTE 23.57 of this VIDEO. Was that second RIFLE a 16" BARREL?.
Nope that rifle is a 14.5
Ok come clean! What does it weigh as pictured? Love block II’s but they get heavy REAL quick especially with a socom profile.
Patiently waiting for new content lol
We have stuff in the works! Unfortunately we live a decent distance apart so we can’t make stuff as often as we would like.
@projectblackhills totally understand that, sucks when friends move multiple states away from you...
Now, let’s see the FUDD version. The FUDD version will be more of what you will encounter of others in the real world. Take into consideration the very first builds of a do it yourselfer AR builder…. Their first Frankenstein.

In my particular case, I went with the Leupold Mk5 2-10 because i didn't like the .25 mrad dot. It was too large to make precision shots beyond 300yds under windy conditions. Topped it with a RMR CC and I'm very happy!
The only reason there’s not a mk5 2-10 on here is because I don’t like the reticle options. If they come out with an illuminated PR2, I’ll definitely consider swapping it out.
I live in the Black Hills of South Dakota and my name is actually Hunter too... Pretty uncanny. Love the rifle, well done!
Top mount is definitely not the best at all
Good choice ditching the sandman for the polo K 👌
Great video
I like the concept a lot. Since you have an offset dot that could qualify as a primary optic, maybe it would be worth swapping the 1-10 for a 3x15 or something with more magnification. Also its hard to balance weight vs capability and id say this rifle is definitely leaning on the extended range side
@@crunchyknees3622 we have definitely had that conversation multiple times.
It's on the more expensive side of cheek risers but you could take a look at the Battleline Industries SAPR.
What straight mag is that? Magpul?
Yeah it’s an old straight 20 rounder from magpul
The larue RISR is what you seek. Its fantastic.
You should go gone with the half inche instead of qtr on the irregular cheek riser
I’ve tried every height. .25” is the best height for a 1.7 mount in my option.
@@projectblackhills sounds about right I run tbe .5 on a 2.26 and it’s $$$
Are you running the GOVT or SOCOM profile barrel?
Socom
Finally picked up the Ruggedized light cap. Way quieter than the original, just pricier and includes the shock collar
Look into the( LaRue tactical riser) your cheek weld will be right above the forward slot and it's on a sliding mechanism so you can charge the handle
Looking stellar. Really enjoyed the close ups. Your face is nice. And a rattle can job would finish that thing up real nice😘
God I love watching block 2 videos. I have something similar. It’s more weight but adding an A5, along with a law folder helps balance out the weight so much. I also adore the magpul XTM panels on mine. It makes it so damn comfortable to hold and it doesn’t get hot
The Block II style is definitely peak in my opinion. Enjoy your setup. Sounds like it gets the job done!
A5 will help unsuppressed but if you're running suppressed full time get a pws steel buffer.
*If it's a carbine gas barrel
What weight buffer did you use??
@@makevelicustoms originally I was running an H2 (that came with the vltor buffer system) and a sprinco green spring. This ran great. But I updated my BCG and Bolt to the LMT enhanced BCG and bolt, with that I run the standard H buffer and standard vltor spring. The math of the vltor H buffer with the extra law folder plug weight equates to an H2.
Man that is a sexy rifle! Maybe look into the Larue CTR cheek riser. The riser is the full length of the stock but the front half slides back so you can run your charging handle still. It’s not as low profile as the .25” one you got there tho
That's actually a riser I've been looking at. The problem with every other one I've tried is it doesn't allow full travel on the charging handle. Thanks for the suggestion!
wouldn't you need anti reflection caps on the Acro also?
I need to grab one for the front. It completely slipped my mind to get it along with the other caps. It will be in the 3rd update to this rifle (if that ever happens). Thanks for watching!
@@projectblackhills ok cool I thought so great video man just found it today. I think a third video would be awesome with guesstimate round count and how things are holding up pros cons
Not a bad idea. I'd probably need to sit down and actually think about the round count. But as of right now, the rifle is set up in a way that I wouldn't really change. I guess we'll see further down the road though.
Hey Hunter I think I asked this in the last video. Have you tried using the riser with the intention of head forward on the stock for scope use, and head back w/ the riser for a little boost on the top mount dot? I'm on the fence about getting one for a setup like yours, but I want to have a decently usable top dot without nods as well.
That was definitely the original plan. I've just found that this specific style of riser does nothing for cheek weld. If you do a normal weld, you don't feel it, and if you try and move your head back to get up on the riser, it feels awkward and unintuitive. Like I said in the video, at this point, it's only on there for looks. Gives the tan stock some nice contrast and doesn't add any noticeable weight.
I’m confused, I know the polonium’s are great cans , but I thought they have the highest back pressure when comparing to like a sandmanS? Can any one confirm this? I actually have a sandman S , and I want a polonium , but was told that polonium’s have higher back pressure.
The full size polonium has more back pressure than the Sandman s. The polonium k has about the same maybe a touch more than the Sandman s. For reference the full size polonium and Sandman s where shot on the same rifle 13.7" 5.56 with a riflespeed gb. The polonium needed setting 2, and the Sandman s and polonium k needed setting 3 (a less restrictive setting) to bring ejection to 3:30-4 o'clock.
So far the felt gas in my face is much less with the Polonium-K. I'm sure there are scientific tests out there, and @theLeadGin might be quoting one of those, but in my real world experience, the Sandman-S has more back pressure and gas in my face. The rifle as a whole was tuned as well as I could without getting an adjustable gas block or BRT tube before, and just swapping the cans, there is a noticeable difference, and the Polonium-K comes out on top. This is all just my opinion and my experience.
Thank you guys, this helped a lot!
@@projectblackhills not very scientific, just something me a couple of buddies did. I took the Riflespeed gb off my 308 and installed it on my 13.7 5.56 Noveske with a milspec buffer spring and carbine buffer. We just wanted to see the differences in gas between our "traditional" baffled cans and flow through. We compared Sandman S, K, Resonator, Resonator k, polo, polo k, saker k, and a velos.
if ur cheek dont fit that far back put it the front slots. dont train urself to have something just cause it looks cool,u use what works for u.
If I put it up front, then the charging handle won’t be able to fully come back. The cheek riser is pretty much there to add contrast to the stock. It’s dumb that I’m keeping it on there for that reason, but it’s also so far back that it’s not effecting my cheek weld in the slightest.
I keep a peice of black tape over top of my stick with a pile of folded card as a reference point to put my face on the same stock every single time. @@projectblackhills
Then get the Larue reciprocating cheek riser@@projectblackhills
Full size polonium with A5H2, Geissele super 42 rifle spring is pleasant to shoot, ejects about 3pm with full power m193. Barrel is LMT MRP 14.5 carbine gas
Very nice!
Would love a video on your thoughts on the Polo K.
Once I get more rounds on it, I will. I also want to test it against the RC2 on shorter rifles. Just need to have a little more time with it.
I just got the polo K as well, and so far, I really like it. But it's also my first hard use can. The B&T SBRS came on my radar a little late, though. Might have gone that way instead.
@@projectblackhills thanks! I’m debating the Polo K or Griffin Recce 5K. From the 2023 Silencer Summit results, they are pretty much identical on sound, but everything I’ve read says the Recce 5K has lower back pressure.
Have almost exact same setup. Love mine.
It's a great looking setup right??
@@projectblackhills absolutely it’s a great all around rifle
I disagree with other top is best. But I have found the best way to passive aim with a side dot is you need it on the forward slot and it needs to be a 1.70 or the 1.93 j arm. I have done this with a holosun 503 on multiple rigs with the badger mount. Even an arisaka one works. Don’t be like that naggot that runs 100 concepts and whines about your nods tube bumping your scope. It’s a reference point. Bring your optic to your eye not the eye to the optic.
Well I had it on the 1.7 J-Arm on the front and the back and it wasn't high enough to clear the nods. You can disagree as much as you want, and if it works for you, that's cool. It didn't for me. And that's kind of the entire point of our videos. Don't do something just cause someone said to. Try it for yourself, and decide what's right for you. Thanks for commenting.
On Hunter's rifle is he using that FEER riser with the intention of head forward on the stock for scope use, and head back w/ the riser for a little boost on the top mount dot?
Comments: How much does it weighhh? It's thicc.. All of SOCOM and USASOC: Fights over carrying the Shorty or Block 2 because its the lightest gun they have. Me: Cant tell the difference in weight between a Block 2 and URGI
I thought I wanted the magpul cheek riser on my "GPR" rifle too but quickly learned that I wanted to be able to run the charging handle at all lengths of pull.
@@teampyle9835 the law folder solves that problem. Once I took the law folder off I flipped the riser around and cut the back shorter and that also fixed the problem.
@projectblackhills I also flipped mine and cut it like that. Still decided to take it off. My beard hairs were getting caught in it, too. Lmao.
@@teampyle9835 the beard hairs are definitely still a problem lol
Levi is an awesome name! Thanks dudes! (My name is Levi 😉)
