- Guns of SOCOM, Ep. 1: In this Fourth of July TFBTV special, James introduces viewers to a new TFBTV mini-series, the Guns of SOCOM, which will discuss various firearms that have some relationship to Special Operations Command in the United States.
This episode features the Daniel Defense Mk18, which is the closest COTS ("commercial off the shelf") Mk18 clone. It features a 10.5 in. barrel and the DD RIS II, which is the same handguard/quad rail that Daniel Defense supplies to SOCOM. And while the DD is almost identical to the "real deal" contract Mk18, there are actually a few features that exceed military specifications like cerakoting and cold hammer forged barrels.
Surefire chipped in by sending in two essential pieces of special operations gear: The SOCOM .223 suppressor and quick attach muzzle device, and the Scout light. Both are discussed in this video.
Additionally, EOTech sent in a holographic weapon sight identical to those issued to special operations forces for use in this episode.
This is just the first episode of TFBTV Guns of SOCOM - be sure to check the Guns of SOCOM playlist in a few weeks for new episodes!

The Mk18 is Flat Dark Earth.
Flat Earth.
The Earth is flat.
James' pecs are Illuminati confirmed.
You're a prophet! Sell me supplements!
You forgot, if the earth was flat it would be dark.
Being that the earth isn’t dark, it isn’t flat.
Happy 4th of July.
Geocentrism at its finest...
Turning the freekin frogs gay
It’s actually called mil-spec+ not fde
Conspiracy debunked
I can think of 1776 reasons why I love the USA. Happy 4th everyone!!! May your barrels run hot and powder burn clean.
Doctor WarpSpeed dude what about the beer
I can think of 1812 other reasons... oh wait, wrong war
I'm German and the US Marines around the corner just went about as crazy as James in the opening 5 minutes ago ^^
I'm watching from Japan! Even though I'm a girl, I love firearms
Hagen ha ich hab gedacht ich wäre der einzige deutsche der hier mit schaut
I didn't even know there was still any gun culture left in Japan. Figured you all were still on "time out" after WW2 lol
Hagen girls are not that much associated with firearms! I guess
always nice to see female firearm enthusiasts :) welcome!

So do you play airsoft or collect model guns? What sparked your interest?
Supressor longer than shorts
Ian Cornell it's what the founding fathers would've wanted
this is the natural order of things, if james shorts were to ever get longer than his barrels or suppressors the order would be upset and chaos would ensue
I actually cant see end of his shorts in this vid
Cant go wrong with that
N back in college when James worked at Chippendales they called him Jimmy The Tease. Arm hairs longer than shorts.
Kinda ironic that this requires two different and expensive stamps for us plebs to own when excessive taxation was a big part of the American Revolution.
Eugene Stoner I see you a lot on here. I think you were shit talking people about the mp5 clone lmao. I agree. The nra is full of shit.
Eugene Stoner you can make an AR15 pistol, put a pistol “brace” on it, and bypass the laws. Makes sense. Let’s ban short rifles, but not long pistols with stocks.
The law has become ambiguous and unenforceable due to the advancement of the marketplace. The law should be struck down for sure.
Zack Ceasar Yep, and imagine the absurdity of a 1st Amendment analogy: Pay the gov to review your website before it goes live since there's illegal stuff on other sites.
If you think tax stamps are expensive - why are you looking at $2,000 gun?
For home defense? Lol 😂
I'm going to keep it real, I'm watching TFBTV on the 4th
40% Traffic outside the United States, does that include states like CA and NY?
and NJ?
Zzzzzzzzzzing!
Hey man I'm from the capital of the people's Republic of California...LA....and yes it sucks for guns...and taxes...and sjws....but other than that, it's great lol.
Old comment but hey, I’m watching this video from Ca and I own a DD MK18 (pistol). Add in all the beaches, skiing, lakes and deserts... oh and the vast diversity of food... not such a bad place to hang your hat.
Dude the America entrance to this video was freaking awesome.
excellent rifle
Always positive comments. Never any shade thrown.
Could be better, instead of having hot gas and remains from the gun powder enter the system it could be sealed as in the hk416(m27iar), which uses short stroke piston instead of direct gas impingement which is ultimately the biggest fail of the gun. So a good rifle, but still far from amazing.
MrGunsnGear
If you can only have one.
what would you rather have this MK18 (SBR) or a tactical dressed Russian made AK47 in 7.62X39 (SBR)?
Short piston rifles aren’t perfect either. More recoil and barrel whip comes with a piston rifle.
Hi from Switzerland🇨🇭
I have the same gun “DD MK18“ in patriont brown! One of my favorites! Happy 4th of july!!
55XSIG I envy you in Switzerland, you can get a Full auto H&K MP5 for only a couple of thousand dollars.
Cryopinacle 3-4k
762x35mm i paid 2600 Swiss Franks, was like 2400$
Wow, I heard you're limited to only three full automatic weapons in addition to your service rifle, is this true?
Lion Celica No, there is no limit, the only limit is money.. but for full auto guns you need a exceptional permit.
Happy 4th from Germany!
hack semmel wish you were here bud.
Thank you
I would, just to get on 1000+ yard ranges, which you can't get over here.
As long they don't take my guns away...I mean, they can try though :)
I don't know how you manage to juggle all of your interests and obligations James but damn do I appreciate you taking the time to make these videos, hope your fourth is a good one!
Beautiful weapon. Thanks James. Love the new series.
This weapon is also used by CSOR (Canadian special operations regiment). Keep up the great man, there's a lot of us up here who are watching!
Oh my god, HNNNNNG. It even has the colors! MAXIMUM TACTICAL.
Eugene Stoner wouldnt you like to know handsome
From Colombia, happy 4th of July TFB-TV.
I will watch every episode of this series three times over.
Loving it from Cape Town, South Africa. Hope you guys had a good 4th of July, hope to join you in a celebration after I get my degree, but for now I will be on this side of the world just watching TFB, you guys help us over in south africa by supplying info on things we dont get too much exposure to because it takes so long to obtain a license to get each gun you have.
Hey. How did getting your degree go? Did you make it over here to the US?
Hope you are well.
Awesome review of an awesome piece of equipment. Thank you!
Cool video. Looking forward to the series going forward. Merica!!
I'm looking forward to these SOCOM videos . Love me some actual knowledge on what they use
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ALL GUN OWNERS AND GUN RUclipsRS! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Andrew Dalton Ray well said brother
Hell yeah brother, preach
Newman Jay: How? Explain yourself
Y’all doin a great job, I’m watching from New Zealand
You had way to much fun shooting that intro didn’t you haha!! Loved it!! And I’m welsh!
I am part of that 40%, thank you for your kind words James. Australia might have crappy laws, but I'm at least getting enjoyment from the videos!
What a beautiful gun ! Thanks for showing it off :)
James is the only tfb guy I actually like.
Happy 4th of July from your brothers up north. We are glad that you are our ally. Have a safe one.
Yes! Give us more please. Also, good choice to start the series on.
Thanks a lot for posting such good videos & happy independence day to you too.
Ah the brilliant MK18 making the MP5 and all other sub guns obsolete for over ten years.
Awesome series exactly what i was looking for before sleeping thank you
Greetings from germany and happy 4th of july to america
For this special 4th of July episode, James wears a sports jacket that actually fits!
Great series... can’t wait to see the mk25!!!
I'm watching TFB TV from Alaska, so double whammy.
Awesome video and series.
I have a 7 inch Davidson defense upper and i absolutely love it!
Greetings from Italy and happy 4th july! :-)
Sir that intro was legendary!!
happy 4th July from The Czech Republic! Enjoy it.
Great vid, loved the fireworks.
Watching from Sweden! Grew up with guns, love guns, heck I'm from the town of Bofors, Karlskoga.! You could hear those 155s in the next town over. I know that as I lived in Degerfors too.
We celebrate new artillery with cake and wish you all happy [Contextual Holiday Here]!
OK, that 'Murica part was the funniest minute I've seen in a long time, please release just that part so I can share, lol
I spit tea all over my phone when the little dance and shotgun roman candles part came up.
Man thats both funny and patriotic.
I can’t wait to see a video on the Mk46 or Mk48 light machine guns.
Can't wait for the rest of the series! I still don't trust eotech after their temperature problems. And it still hurts that DD stabbed us in the back...
My MK18 is my go to, my favorite gun to shoot and my most trusted
That 4th of july intro was epic
Hell yeah! A clone correct cqbr block II is the sexiest sbr. I freaking love mine!
Clone correct because its an sbr and not a pistol
Nice video👍👍👍....Happy Independence day Sir.Carry on the good work.God Bless and Protects you all🙏🙏....
i love your videos , happy 4th from France
I'll have to add this to my wish list.
Such a beautiful weapon
Happy birthday to me today 39. Happy birthday to this country. Great idea guns of Socom.
Great channel , props from colombia.
Love from Canada TFB. U guys r an awesome channel. I wish i could have become American. Canada have gone down hill in the last few years.
B Lin im sorry for the loss of your country. I sure as hell am gonna move to America the moment I can
Maks Mamla I recommend either Texas, or Utah.
Hunter Nichola Tx has lower taxes i think. I was always thinking about Texas
start the paperwork now and hit Texas the second you can...
Mike Freeman i need to finish high school first haha
You make excellent videos!
I'm Australian and 1.40 is still the best thing I've ever seen. Go James!
I'm one of the poor fucks that's stuck in front of the computer, watching TFB-TV. Happy 4th, guys, and keep up the good work!
tuberaider But you still live in the USA though. 😫
The roman candles in the double barrel was a nice touch :P I was wondering how you pulled off the thumbnail. Happy 4th!
You should mention that the Gas System on the MK18 is a Carbine Length system, despite the barrel only being 10.3 inches long. This aids in the softer recoil of the firearm and adds to the overall longevity of the components.
Snapper314
As far as I know, all 10.3 -10.5 inch barreled 5.56 guns have carbine length tubes
@@theimmortal4718 it's hilarious when the known it all comes in raves about people only playing video games and is dead as wrong. Yes it has an h2 buffer like many applications now. It still has a standard length gas system, yes it has a humongous gas port but which does aid, but also has a shorter dwell times with still makes the pressures slightly lower, and does effect reliability SLIGHTLY (not making a huge point here ehh 416).
Thumbs up for the 4th of July intro!! WHOOOO MERICAAAAA!!!!
Best regards from Canary Islands, Spain! Happy 4th of July!
Happy 4th of July. Love this, now how about chamber it in 300 blackout!!!!!!!!!
12:22 I see a crush washer behind that WarComp! Definitely a no-no with suppressors. Ive never even seen a suppressor in person and even I know that.
Great video and may God Bless America!
I'm from Vietnam, love gun but never have used a gun before. Hope someday I could meet TFB.
loved my mk18 clone. colt upper and lower with dd 10.3'' barrel. too bad i had that boating accident.
Forgot to mention the rote has has the awesome feature of losing zero when exposed to extreme temperature changes.
I love my MK18 but it is really heavy for the size. I am working on lightening it up.
You did not mention that SF had been using shorty M16s for years. Larry Vickers talk about his Scud Hunter carbine a lot. SF has also been using shorty M16s like the Colt M733 for s number of years
Love that opening
Great video. I have a DDM4V11. I must know where do I get the picatiny rubberized looking rail covers for the hand guard? It acts as a giant heat sink to the barrel and after a couple mag dumps gets veeeeery hot! That's the problem, I've discovered with a thin aluminum hand guards.
Great video
Oh USA you tease. What a lovely rifle. Happy 4th of July.
Haha im from the Netherlands, we cant even carry guns here! Honestly just interested in the real life counterparts of the guns in the videogames i play. You guys are awesome!!!!
Eugene Stoner i like to not look at it that way. Id love to be able to have a self defense weapon with me, but the netherlands is a SUPER safe country, with the last terrorist act in 1977, i feel perfectly safe. I totally get where you're coming from and i support your 2nd amendment, but im happy with the way law enforcement acts here in the Netherlands and i dont think guns are necessary for ordinary citizens to feel safe.
Stay safe bro
Euege can you smoke weed and visit prostitutes though? Now that's what I call freedom
Eugene Stoner Why would i need the necesity to protect myself when i live in a pretty peaceful place? Can't say the same for most of the states in the U.S, if anything, the fact that most people have a gun there makes me uncomfortable. I feel pretty free and safe even with no firearms, thank you.
Love it!
Happy 4th of july from Bulgara
Love the Merica intro !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi from Serbia! We're mostly here 'cause of the occasional sneaky Zastava gun in your vids :P
You should do a franken rifel video.. show some of the builds you made with spare random parts
The AR15 platform is easily the best small arms weapon system ever designed . It will not be replaced any time soon. Going strong since 1959.
Perfect overall combat rifle!
Interesting. Hadn't heard of the MK18 yet. I'll have to ask some folks I know about it. I have an M-4 clone, and it's fairly handy in close quarters, but this looks really cool. Still, supressors are very expensive, so I don't think I will be getting one any time soon.
M from India
And wish you a belated Happy Independence day to my Brothers and Sisters of America.
And I love TFB TV. Not just the shooting but I have learnt a lot of things.. the Gun culture in India is very very small. Stuck only with Ishapore bolt action rifle The INSAS and the AK 103.
The recent addition is MSMC .. hope u check that out..
God, I’m in love!
longitivity….i love it
He Deffinetly stuck 2 Roman candles down the barrel of that shotgun I love it! Only in ‘Murica
You’re welcome from Canada
Say what you want about mp5 no one can deny it’s one of the best old sub machine guns out there still going strong from the 60s and onwards love the fact there is hardly any recoil on the things aswell is happily get one over a handgun but for concealed carry I’d get a glock or desert eagle because of the stopping power
A Desert Eagle for concealed carry
I live up in fairbanks alaska, love it here
Hey guys, to all you are Americans, i wish you to enjoy your independence day our friends! Greetings from Czech republic.
Jonáš Chromý you and the us seem to have the best gun laws, that I can think of anyway.
"longetivity" ? Is that like longevity ? LOL - great vid
Happy 4th of July from the U.K. 😀😁😂
MK 21!!! MK 21
Happy 4th! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I was playing Poland's national anthem to my American friends and they loved it. Also beer. Mostly beer. Happy 4th people!
Laun-ju-tivity... gonna start calling you Miles!
Jokes! It’s ok I have all the usual southeast PA mannerisms and can’t pronounce water with a T instead of a D. Happy 4th!
Longetivity is not a word I think he was aiming at longevity and mispronounced it
i'm a level 5 marine warrior, but this kinda makes me wanna change classes and become a James Reeves minimalist battle joker
