    About Me
    My name is Brandon Herrera. I'm the owner and operator of The AK Guy Inc, a 07 Firearm Manufacturer based out of Fayetteville, NC. I also co-own Stark Media Group, and designed the rifle known as the AK-50.
    I've started to dedicate this RUclips channel above all to have fun, but also as a way to document my entrepreneurial journey for the next few years as I try to grow my companies. Hopefully, people can learn from my example, successes, and failures.
    Either way, I'm having a lot of fun with it so far, and I hope it's just as fun to follow along!

    556/223 had problems with steel cased ammo back when the casings were still varnished. Being a straight walled cartridge, it wasn’t difficult to get enough buildup in the chamber for the round to become almost impossible to remove. 7.62x39 is tapered so it only has to overcome a very tiny amount of resistance to begin its travel rearward. But in any case, modern steel cased ammo isn’t varnished so it’s not much of a problem.

      @colinhess8900 2 года назад +1

      @@randomidiot8142 I don’t know the exact specifics for every caliber or manufacturer, but for 5.56/.223 the issue was the coating melting and congealing in the chamber causing the rounds to get stuck. Most 5.56/.223 steel case doesn’t do that anymore. Obviously there is still a coating present to prevent corrosion, but it doesn’t melt off as easily if at all. Might be a completely different material or an altered original formula. I’m sure if a person was motivated enough they could find out exactly what was changed. I’m not enough of a steel guy to care that much, I just know it’s not the problem that it was back in the day.

    Great video, like ther rest you upload. I see everything to gain and nothing to lose going with an AK in 5.56 instead of the 5.45, which, let's faces, it's no longer an option. The 5.56 offers higher velocity, the option to reload it with dozens of bullet weights and configuration, the ammo is non-corrosive, and the round is almost certain to be available during our lifetime. It makes no sense to buy a rifle that shoots an ammo that's hard to get, or impossible, at worse. Terminal ballistics in both rounds are about the same. Shot placement is key to stop an agressor, as we all know, and 5.56 offers the option of shooting a load that'll print tighter groups on paper. I definitely agree that the time of the 5.56 AK has come. Thanks for the video!

    Another advantage to having a rifle chambered in 5.56mm is that you can shoot .223 out of it. The rounds are virtually identical (outside of 5.56 having slightly higher chamber pressures than a .223, which is why you don't want to shoot 5.56mm out of a .223 gun) so it gives a bit of a wider variety of ammo you can shoot.
    Also, with the weight thing...that's why I love my Mini-14.

    The Joergsprave line killed me. Did not expect it at all.
    Hadn't heard about the ban since I don't have a rifle yet(just pistols so far) and have yet to buy an AK.
    Sad news to hear.
    Love your videos as always though. I'm always a fan of educational videos and you explained the milled vs stamped difference very well.

    Now I'm really curious: if gold were cheap and abundant, would it make superior bullets to lead?
    I think its greater density would be an advantage rather than a disadvantage.

    • @cymond
      @cymond 2 года назад +8

      Yes, probably
      We use lead because it is dense ("heavy"), malleable, and cheap.
      Gold is more dense, and (IIRC) more malleable.

      Also not toxic unlike lead (dust), so better for your health should you be shooting indoors a lot

      @szariq7338 2 года назад

      The problem is, that gold is way more soft than lead, so I think they'd disintegrate either just after leaving or whole round still in the barrel, which equals catastrophic failure if the casing is also gold.

      @LabRat Knatz “Star Trek written by gun nerds” sounds like a wet dream of a setting.
      Like I imagine it’d look like Halo, but with AKs and Glocks.
      And low key, I’ve written out a bit of setting work for something vaguely along those lines.
