No, from the pistol. Interestingly, the WW2-era 5"/38 gun used by the US Navy on just about everything they could get to float threw a similar, albeit much larger, flame ring when it fired.
I handload some Ruger Only 45 Colt that does the same thing out of my 4” Redhawk. I’m a pretty fair pistol shot but it is admittedly hard not to flinch when they’re getting that spicy.
Hitting the target was so much louder than the fire. Reminded me of the movie "The Jerk" when Steve Martin is looking at his oil can display and they start sprouting holes and leaking. Steve Martin starts laughing telling his boss come look at this we have some defective cans they keep springing leaks.
Yeah it's almost impossible to capture it properly while making it in any way useful for RUclips. You'd need to set the microphone gain so that the Beowulf barely clips the mic to capture the loudness, and that would make almost anything else completely inaudible.
@@jubuttib You would need at least three microphones with different sensitivities. One for the loud gun, one for the quiet gun and one for the surroundings.

Clearing a plate rack with a .50ae desert eagle is one of the most fun things I've ever done with a gun. Most of the time you hit them and see them fall, but .50ae knocks them down faster than I could process it. Pull the trigger, plate just isn't there anymore. Every once in a while one of the others would bounce high enough to reset.
Yeah, it made me think it there a spot on the rack you could strike that would drop all six plates at once or just knock the rack over and count that as all six being flipped.
What really did it for me is the huge clouds of dust flying off the entire rack each time (as opposed to the little puff coming off each plate as Ian hit them).
@@disco_falcon1895 The easiest would be the 3/4", and it would be filled by people running .45 and .30. The only meaningful way for the minimum caliber, would be smaller than .578, which would rule out the standard .223 and 9mm pairing (if your goal was to force people to use at least 1 non-standard caliber). This would only serve to make .30 Super Carry more popular, or see a bunch of people show up with old TT-33s and CZ-52s. Course, the problem with either of these rules, is that it would severely limit the number of people who actually participate in them. Especially if your goal is to get people to use non-standard firearms/ammunition choices. By definition it is going to make it more expensive for people, and probably a lot of competitors simply...would not have firearms to make the pairings. And those who do, fewer are going to be willing to subject their collector piece, or expensive range toy, to the wear/tear/damage potential of a ACM.
What's funny is the .50 Beowulf AR suppressed is literally the most pleasant .50 cal that I've ever shot. Buddy of mine got me into them when he showed me his hog gun, an Alexander Arms AR with a big can and loaded with 400gr solids. It's insanely pleasant and fun to shoot. Also I peep that Badgerhound patch that Tom is running.
@@Angelum_Band Like Tom basically said in the video, it costs a bit too much to be practical but worth every penny of fun you have with it. But if you want an exact answer, it can cost anything from $1-3 per round from what I've seen.
If you look carefully at 4:16, it almost looks like a gold halo ring emanates from the barrel. I thought that was the editor trying to show the bullet in flight for a split second. That’s insane
It happens 3 times while the DEagle is firing... are you saying that is actually the gun itself and not an edit of some kind? If so, that's kind of insane to see.
Damn, for real? I didn't have to look carefully, it was so noticeable I thought it was added in post to highlight something, like a bullet in flight. But now I rewatched it and it's incredible.
You have to really appreciate Ian's dedication to firearm discipline. When he draws his pistol he insures the entire time the barrel isn't point at himself or anyone else.

I guess the microphone has an automatic loudness adjustment, because one can hear nearby people talking and the ping of the empty cartridge when Ian was shooting his silenced rifle.
Yeah it's probable some compression applied to the audio signal. It boosts quiet stuff and lowers louder stuff. (Different thing than compression of a computer file! That just shrinks the size of the file.)
@@frankholub4673 Like a charging handle? Since after a light strike/out of battery FTF you have to reset the hammer anyhow? Which if I watch back, I'm pretty sure he did the correct procedure.
@@philkensebben157 The forward assist would have enabled him to seat the round properly in the first place, before attempting to fire the gun. Upon experiencing the malfunction, yes, tap rack was the proper procedure. Different tools for different situations.
@@frankholub4673 Okay, so what you're saying is that the proper loading/firing sequence with a known working AR platform should always include pushing the forward assist? And that the forward assist shouldn't be called an assist, but a standard round seating button? If you pull the trigger once and get click, you charge the handle again. If you get click again, you run it again. If third time click, NOW you might want an assist. Of course you might also want to check your headspace just in case forcing a round into the chamber makes a big boom, instead of a little one. Forward assists aren't necessary and having to use one usually indicates problems with the firearm.
@@philkensebben157 People who are vehemently against the forward assist have an uncanny ability to hyperbolize everything surrounding it. The FA is a single tool in a toolbox, it is not necessary or useful in many situations, most even, including normal loading procedure unless the gun has weak or fouled main or mag springs that causes slight OOB like Ian experienced. But when it is useful, it's irreplaceable. Running the charging handle over and over doesn't clear fouling, it just introduces a new round into a fouled gun. Firing the gun can clear fouling. Running the handle when the extractor doesn't have positive grip on a cartridge rim induces a double feed. There is no one size fits all solution to malfunctions, you need proper evaluation and then procedure to clear. Just tap racking is dumb. Just using an FA is even dumber. Assess, and then take action based on the malfunction type. And if you hate the FA for whatever reason, nobody is forcing you to use it or buy an upper with one on it.
Hearing that hearty .50 going off reminds me of when my late friend, Chris, decided to break in his .454 Cassull revolver at the annual barbecue and target match for the Bucktails back in the day. Everyone is shooting their standard sidearms when, suddenly... Kaboom. Like 5 other people on the range were like, "what the heck was that?!"
All I'm envisioning now is that scene in _RoboCop_ where everyone at the police pistol range stops what they're doing because Murphy has just opened up with a machine pistol. :)
I had a bit at a chuckle after watching Ians Q&A video and one of the questions was what to you recommend for first time match participants. Ian said, make sure your gun are zeroed if memory serves. ;)
at first I thought it was from a greater bullet drop from subsonic and suppressed than expected, later hearing that it was missing to the right discounted that notion though
For some reason this brings to mind Shirow Masamune noting the sound effects of his heroine’s firearm and the impact of the bullets separately. Appleseed Manga. (They were romanized to “chik” and “Spack” respectively.)
It was awesome to see people doing it at a speed that didn't seem superhuman. Makes me feel like I could actually start to train for these competitions and would have a chance at the lower levels.
A lot of people think they have to "train up and get good" before they start competing(I was one of those people at first), but as long as you're safe and relatively familiar with your guns, the best way to get better at shooting is to just get out to a match and compete
Ians rifle sounds like a toy cap gun... the kind with the paper rolls... very effective supressor... and the 50 DE wow... and did you see the fire rings it was pumping out? wicked... would luv to see it fire at nite.
Desert Eagle unreliability is exaggerated in my experience. They do require more maintenance, need OEM mags, and good ammunition, not to mention skill to avoid limpwristing, but they work fine otherwise. Mine has only jammed once and oddly from the casing getting stuck in the chamber which I attribute more to the ammo than gun. Though I’ve seen plenty of beat to shit rental Desert Eagles that had a lot of issues.
@@gameragodzilla That's probably why they get that bad reputation. I mean I don't think I'll ever buy one, so renting one would be my only experience. But so many people probably drop them doing that...
@@arthurmoore9488 Yeah Desert Eagles are most likely to be rented because they’re not that practical to own and very expensive, but rental guns in general don’t get the best maintenance. Deagles need that to run well. It’s like a high end sports car. It’s expensive, way more powerful than any practical use needs to be, requires expensive and high end fuel, and is a maintenance hog. But damn does it put a smile on my face when I shoot it.
You could hear an audible gap between when Ian pulls the trigger and when the bullet hits the target. I dunno if that's because the rounds were subsonic and that's just how slow they were going or what.
I mean, that was hilarious at the very least. After Ian's first stage, I went "Wow, the falling plates were louder". After Tom's first shot I just started belly laughing like a madman, because his gun was so loud you barely heard the plates.
4:15 It's interesting to see how the fireballs are recorded as fire Circles... like if someone crayoned that specific frame to mark something for video edit. But no - that's the fireball.
A Deagle in .50 AE is a perfect example of "your gunsmiths were so preoccupied with wether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should" Absolutely ridiculous and awesome, but the opposite of a carry gun.
Only if his nightstand is 50-100 yards away from the targets. It hit the “self defense” range plate rack without issues. That said…”need” be damned, I’d re-zero as well. ;)
You say "Maxim is his nightstand gun", I have visions of a Russian Maxim parked on his nightstand. I pity the fool who breaks into his house and wakes him up at night. (I pity the fool who breaks into any gun-tubers house; the only thing that MAY save them is the homeowner taking time to decide which gun to blast them with!)
That was great, I know I couldn't do all that running anymore, but I might have to take my 458 SoCom to the next AR match now just for giggles and grins.
oh god, nice. i could see just the briefest flash off the desert eagle during the second stage. pretty much a flash fireball :D didnt expect the recording to catch that.
Loved the idea of this and hearing the difference between the two is fun (even if I know it isn't as impactful as it might be in real life). Thanks for sharing this one.
Nice patch there ("big iron.... big iron...") you couild even see the "ring" while shooting the eagle. Ian did not need to deal with absurd recoil, but zero killed him XD
5:18 you can see the bolt move forward when the hammer drops so it likely wasn't in battery fully. Might help him diagnose his issues. Sure looks like an upper (or ammo) problem to me though.
I forgot desert eagles sometimes shoot flame rings so i thought on Toms second stage run ian was editing in circles infront of his pistol when it was firing.
I have an "older" Honey Badger SBR with the flat faced AR Gold trigger (appears to be what you have there) and I have noticed very rarely when charging the weapon it is almost as if the fire control group does not fully engage or reset. The times it happens the trigger feels heavier than it should and when it breaks, the hammer does not seem to have the correct amount of force. I first noticed this when using snap caps dry firing at home while attempting to reset the trigger without completely ejecting the round. Not sure if the 2 are related but I do believe newer Honey Badgers have Geissele triggers.
So the tl;dr I got out of this was: Ian: Using stuff that's so heavily suppressed that the rounds fly like golf balls Tom: Basically just slinging lead golf balls that their rifle can barely handle at times xD
Just a heads up, the AMG Lab Commander and the newer Competition Electronics ProTimerBT timers are both good at picking up suppressed shots, as long as the sensitivity is adjusted correctly. I use my Commander timer at NRL22 matches and it works with suppressed 22 bolt actions shooting subsonic, and I've even accidentally picked up target impacts at 75 yards with it.

@@DualDesertEagle I would guess so. Standing to the side of that brake on the .50 Beowulf AR was brutal.

The muzzle flash ring at 4:15 *chef's kiss*
Ring of muzzle flash at 4:15
You cannot deny: there is grandeur beauty in raw power. Even archers love the high poundage bows. Enough sometimes goes puny.
It’s super cool being able to see Ian getting better through the years
Wonder how he’d do with the best race he could use.
Excellent trigger control on the rifle, especially between 3:00 and 3:27.
go to 6:49 exactly and pause you can actually see the subsonic bullet there for a frame
Great video! How about that ring of fire from the desert eagle 4:16 ! crazy!!
Yeah first I thought it was added in edit to mark something
oh god, nice. i could see just the briefest flash off the desert eagle during the second stage. pretty much a flash fireball :D didnt expect the recording to catch that.
6:51 Ian's hit prediction was perfect.
Fireballs were cool, though.
Those fire rings coming out of the desert eagle are amazing!
Neat match! The opposite spectrum of sound guns was a cool idea and I like it. I need to get a .300 blackout now
"What is that, Sledge, a silencer?" "No, it's something my dad invented. It's called a loudener."
Loved the idea of this and hearing the difference between the two is fun (even if I know it isn't as impactful as it might be in real life). Thanks for sharing this one.
I have shot a 50 Action Express, great fun outdoors. Even found I could double tap it! Firing slowly you could hear a whistle from the ejecting case!
Ian giving a perfect demonstration of why Stoner was wrong and why the military was right about the forward assist lol.
@@prfwrx2497 a da/sa ar15.
@@prfwrx2497 maybe it’s because I don’t understand the mechanism but that sounds wayyyy more complicated than a forward assist.
Nice patch there ("big iron.... big iron...") you couild even see the "ring" while shooting the eagle. Ian did not need to deal with absurd recoil, but zero killed him XD
Loved seeing the day-time fire rings from .50AE
Love that the camera catches the Desert Eagle.50 muzzle Flash/ Ring!
4:15 The Deagle summons the eye of Sauron
That moment when reality and frame rate align.
Liked this comparison a lot but that fireball coming from that desert eagle in 50 ae that was insane
5:18 you can see the bolt move forward when the hammer drops so it likely wasn't in battery fully. Might help him diagnose his issues. Sure looks like an upper (or ammo) problem to me though.
Holy hell the rings of fire off the desert eagle, that looked insane
Tom having the Big Iron Vault Boy on his right shoulder makes a lot of sense.
The big circular muzzle flashes from the D-Eagle were really cool. Would like to see that in super slow mo.
Love the long delay with the subsonic rounds
I forgot desert eagles sometimes shoot flame rings so i thought on Toms second stage run ian was editing in circles infront of his pistol when it was firing.
LOL the fire ball coming out of that 50ae pistol is crazy!
I have an "older" Honey Badger SBR with the flat faced AR Gold trigger (appears to be what you have there) and I have noticed very rarely when charging the weapon it is almost as if the fire control group does not fully engage or reset. The times it happens the trigger feels heavier than it should and when it breaks, the hammer does not seem to have the correct amount of force.
I first noticed this when using snap caps dry firing at home while attempting to reset the trigger without completely ejecting the round.
Not sure if the 2 are related but I do believe newer Honey Badgers have Geissele triggers.
Dang it Russel, be quiet. I'm trying to hear Ian shoot!
1:36 [Looks at Tom's morale/velcro patch] Wishing for a nuclear winter while wearing a big iron on your hip?
Loved the Apple jab right at the end there Ian
I really like that classic style combat vest on Tom
I love that eagle blast ring.
4:25 . (Had to .25x) and go by 1/2 frame.
Ian
Thanks again for another excellent video.
That fireball from the Deagle is crazy.
Ian: "My gun goes click every time"... Yea, the first shot is just really quiet. :D
Velocity is also way below the sound barrier.
LOL, those Blackout rounds were so slow, that Ian started getting up before we could hear the ding.
Tom was hoping it would count as a hit if the blast wave knocked the target down.
Ian's preparing for Library Brutality
I don't know why but it's so exciting when a weapons it's this quiet
The hits on target are louder than the shots… sooo funny
Russell talking is way louder than Ian's guns, that made me giggle (still louder than Ian's guns)
So the tl;dr I got out of this was:
Ian: Using stuff that's so heavily suppressed that the rounds fly like golf balls
Tom: Basically just slinging lead golf balls that their rifle can barely handle at times xD
Just a heads up, the AMG Lab Commander and the newer Competition Electronics ProTimerBT timers are both good at picking up suppressed shots, as long as the sensitivity is adjusted correctly. I use my Commander timer at NRL22 matches and it works with suppressed 22 bolt actions shooting subsonic, and I've even accidentally picked up target impacts at 75 yards with it.
> 22 bolt actions shooting subsonic
Does that gun even make a sound, or is the timer hearing the firing pin drop? :D
i dont know why but that 50-50 intro had got me laughing for a solid minute
