It's almost not fair ti include the P320 into the discussion but Sig has put their name on it, so they own it. While the P226 might be my all time favorite hand gun, I think I'd take a Taurus G2c over a P320.
Forgotten Weapons did a video with a Canadian competitor to ISS that focused on what they have to do to make a normal weapon function with stage blanks. Obviously manuals (revolvers, lever guns, pump guns, bolt guns, etc.) are the easiest as they often need no modification at all but they said it was quite a challenge to figure out how to make a Glock blank friendly, they have to do a lot to it to make it reliable on set. Conversely they found the Beretta 92 to be one of the easiest semi-autos to convert to shooting blanks reliably.
I was a AR guy for YEARS. Never really paid mind to the AK and it's "hype" or so I thought. Ended up getting one thrown in for a trade on one of my other guns. I neglected the shit out of that thing like it was a shameful love child born from a night with a $40 prostitute. Never failed regardless of how much I WANTED it to. Finally broke down and acknowledged the hype behind their reliability was well founded. Now I own more AK's than AR's. AR is still the king of customizability and ergonomics though. That said I'd trust every one of my AK's to run like a top regardless of which I reached for and if it was well lubed / cleaned or not
@Johaans Döe cool? I own lots of different weapons, from a variety of companies and eras (1900 - Present), and for the most part they all run reliably. My Stevens semi-auto .22 rifle from the 50s is the only one that consistently jams on me. This isn't me taking a shot at you or your firearms choices, just commenting on how most firearms will work consistently if you take care of them.
@@tomrogers5862 Thanks but I'm not referring to just the accuracy based on bore deterioration, rather how durable the barrel is after many lead and copper jackets go through the barrel vs. blanks, causing small cracks or fissures in the bore, which has happened to some guns. Obviously this would be thousands and thousands of rounds to get a clearer result of wear and tear, but just thought would be interesting to know the difference. ;)
@@AutismFamilyChannel Given noncorrosive powders and primers and meticulous cleaning after each project, I can't imagine chemical stress is a significant issue. As to mechanical stress, recoil energy generated by a blank is far less than that by a live round. For a given trigger pull, a live round must put much more overall stress -- mechanical and chemical -- on a firearm than a blank round does.
@@tomrogers5862 Then you raise a good point. Is it fair (based on Hollywood guns that use blanks) to use them as a standard for durability, if they don't have nearly the same stress put on them as live rounds? I hope you know I'm not being argumentative, I'm just interested in this topic is all ;)
One gun I would've put on this list is the H&K Mk23, AKA the SOCOM .45 That gun went through one of the roughest durability requirements I've ever heard during its procurement.
This has to be my favorite series on TFB. There have been some great ones like Thunder Ranch and I have learned alot from videos like Alex use to make. But this was the best.
Agreed. I support our police and there are SOME highly trained professionals but the vast majority are sickeningly bad when it comes to firearms training
In Singapore, some of the m16 we used for training were 20, 30 years old by generations of national service conscripts. They get beat up by recruits, crawling through mud, bayonet assault courses and also to qualify at the range.
I worked in SA doing some anti poaching work. We confiscated an AK that was literally the trigger group, receiver and barrel, everything else looked it had been hand carved and taped onto it (literally duct taped). Worked fine!
10:42-10:55 good truth in this statement. my dad (retired Airforce-weapons specialist&marksman) inspected my first AR(used) and deemed it in good condition but VERY dirty (previous owner had put nearly 1000 rounds through it - never cleaned). He disassembled it and put it back together without any hesitation or confusion. He ran it through a few cycles, I wish I had a picture of the nostalgic/giddy look on his face.
James, this series was absolutely fantastic, and I would definitely, definitely support seeing more with Larry at ISS. I also think you should team up with the Black Rifle guys and Corridor Digital to do a Shorty-shorts Action Short.

I must say bro. You know the history and layout on these guns. Every informative. Interesting. Never would of thought Hollywood went through a process as such. Awesome video👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
3:27 lol I'm sorry, I know the best of the best are often in military and sometimes LE service, but I've had to help cops figure out how to load their own firearms and I've never been in LE or mil. Some of the most unsafe gun handling I've ever seen has been done by veterans and police. To be fair I've gotten most of my tips knowledge and instruction from LE/mil so the expertise is there but the idea the average person in service who carries a firearm because it's their job is "highly trained" is just wrong. Most cops never had a firearm until they got issued one.
Military members can be God awful with firearm safety. There are just some people on this planet who are incapable of treating a firearm with respect. Constant weapon flagging from Specialists, Officers who put more rounds into clearing barrels than range targets, and one unfortunate moron who pointed a loaded shotgun at my chest (He thought it was unloaded) who's only alive today because his 1 year old daughter was in the room at the time and apparently I cared more about her safety than he did. The US military truly is an equal sampling of the US population in many things, and one of those things is percentage of morons.
You were never in the military or LE because you couldn’t pass the psychological. You’re probably in your parents basement right now playing with your gun.
Just before 9/11, I walked over to the MickyD on base. This base has a special security force for special weapons (I may have given it away;-). I'm in line waiting to order when half a dozen security force folks come in, dump all of their M16A2s on a table without safing them, and walk away and get in line behind me. I would have ducked and run except the weapons were pointed at the main drag through the base and away from the counter.
This is so weird . This is like a episode of ' Northern Exposure' , you know there's some psychological game being played and you have to try to figure it out. HollyWood !
I am a TFB TV supporter both financially and of course through viewership. And I have no intention of stopping that support. But...Does the whole Tim Kennedy/5.11 thing not bother you guys at all?
@ A few years ago he made some questionable gun control statements in an interview. He has since "explained away" those statements but it is still troubling. I don't think he is "anti-gun" by any means but he planted that seed of doubt.
@@WALTERBROADDUS Who said that? Why are you trying to start an argument? I simply stated that I found some of his remarks troubling. Don't look for trouble where their is none.
“In a way, the reliability on the movie set has to be higher than it does in real life.” While I am sure he doesn’t mean this, it sounds like he is saying it’s worse to lose a take to an unreliable gun than your life.
My understanding of this comment is that if you have a malfunction with a firearm in real life, you at least have the option to take immediate remedial action, while that is not really an option in a movie scene.
Four minutes in, and I can't believe this guy is making the case that reliability is more important on a movie set than in a police or military firefight, where people are trying their best not to die.
I'm surprised the Beretta 92 or any 1911s aren't on the list but the Sig P226 is. Considering how many military, war, and police movies/tv shows there are out there you would think the U.S.' primary sidearm would be on the list. Not surprised with the rest of the list though. Glocks, MP5s, AR15s, and Ak47s are staples of any movies/TV shows involving guns.
I watched a guy's video a couple months ago, where he was trying to kill a HiPoint JHP, he wound up firing a round directly into the ejection port at close range, blew the port wide open. Then went on to fire the gun. That thing is the Toyota Hilux (a callout to Top Gear) of handguns.

To be fair I've gotten most of my tips knowledge and instruction from LE/mil so the expertise is there but the idea the average person in service who carries a firearm because it's their job is "highly trained" is just wrong. Most cops never had a firearm until they got issued one.
Military members can be God awful with firearm safety. There are just some people on this planet who are incapable of treating a firearm with respect. Constant weapon flagging from Specialists, Officers who put more rounds into clearing barrels than range targets, and one unfortunate moron who pointed a loaded shotgun at my chest (He thought it was unloaded) who's only alive today because his 1 year old daughter was in the room at the time and apparently I cared more about her safety than he did.
The US military truly is an equal sampling of the US population in many things, and one of those things is percentage of morons.
You were never in the military or LE because you couldn’t pass the psychological. You’re probably in your parents basement right now playing with your gun.
@@mikegags9115 Ok.
Just before 9/11, I walked over to the MickyD on base. This base has a special security force for special weapons (I may have given it away;-). I'm in line waiting to order when half a dozen security force folks come in, dump all of their M16A2s on a table without safing them, and walk away and get in line behind me. I would have ducked and run except the weapons were pointed at the main drag through the base and away from the counter.
@@mikegags9115 Why so salty? He's entirely right.
This is so weird . This is like a episode of ' Northern Exposure' , you know there's some psychological
game being played and you have to try to figure it out. HollyWood !

It's just another commie prop that everything is better than the USA. We put man on the moon, I think we can build a firearm.

@crazy silly Yes and I once parked a truck on the ass end of a Dodge. Failure doesn't get a lot of good recognition.
Great vid. Was not surprised at all about the list either..
That music. So good. Appreciate the uploads *edit* Wait is that a 20mm cannon on the right? I'd say a Vulcan but I'm not very knowledgeable on them.
.308 minigun. They discussed it in one of the other lists. They are beasts and the movie industry loves to rent them from those guys.
@@zurnie that's damn neat
Vulcans are only in fighter jets, so Top Gun has you covered
Awesome video. Great idea to speak with the movie industry about this topic!

The last time I was this early the Soviets hadn’t assigned Kalashnikov the credit for designing the Sturmgeweher yet.
The disappointment on James eyes with #1.... priceless! Lol
Everybody takin' Glocks! Glocks! Glocks! Glocks! Glocks!
My brain autocorrected it to shots lmao.
Thanks for the interesting perspective and insight, appreciate the work you do!
I am a TFB TV supporter both financially and of course through viewership. And I have no intention of stopping that support. But...Does the whole Tim Kennedy/5.11 thing not bother you guys at all?
Bothers me, definitely.
@ A few years ago he made some questionable gun control statements in an interview. He has since "explained away" those statements but it is still troubling. I don't think he is "anti-gun" by any means but he planted that seed of doubt.
So unless you support a Glock for all at birth, your a gun grabber? 😏
@@WALTERBROADDUS Who said that? Why are you trying to start an argument? I simply stated that I found some of his remarks troubling. Don't look for trouble where their is none.
@@rantsandreviews You started the argument by posting.
I don't know how the tradition of roasting James in the comments started, but man has it been hilarious to read the comments for all these videos.
glock: "it just works" is the best joke I've heard since the wuflu started
Don’t feed the troll
Thank you- your best music yet!
Morrie's Glocks. Tested against hurricane wind$$$$$$!
Great series!
Did you happen to see Terry Schappert lurking around!?!
Yep, spent a day on set at HW Weapons. Super nice dude.
“In a way, the reliability on the movie set has to be higher than it does in real life.” While I am sure he doesn’t mean this, it sounds like he is saying it’s worse to lose a take to an unreliable gun than your life.
My understanding of this comment is that if you have a malfunction with a firearm in real life, you at least have the option to take immediate remedial action, while that is not really an option in a movie scene.
I’m with you here. I cringed on that one.
Four minutes in, and I can't believe this guy is making the case that reliability is more important on a movie set than in a police or military firefight, where people are trying their best not to die.
Man I want to go wherever that thumbnail picture is from
Thanks for a great series.
When he said one of the best episodes, I knew we were going to be talking Glock.
What about M9’s, they’re always on screen and in real life reliable as hell!!!
I would rather shot a second take, than try and find a second life!!
Yeah that little bit had my eyes rolling.
Are we just going to overlook the fact that not having malfunctions is more important in cinema than it is in real life? Lol
"It's plain gun"- such eloquent words.
thank you for this video TFB
"The Top 5 most Durable Guns [After Being Modified to Fire Blanks]"
Great story regarding the AK
I think in a real life gun fight it is more important to have a gun that is reliable.
Take 2 or your dead! What do you think is more important?
Soldiers lives are expendable because the state can afford to pay the cost of insurance.
Yea I dont think Larry knows much either then movies he needs to learn more about reality..
I love this guy, Larry.
*cries in shotgun lover*
Scott Booker 🤣
I'm surprised the Beretta 92 or any 1911s aren't on the list but the Sig P226 is. Considering how many military, war, and police movies/tv shows there are out there you would think the U.S.' primary sidearm would be on the list. Not surprised with the rest of the list though. Glocks, MP5s, AR15s, and Ak47s are staples of any movies/TV shows involving guns.
Kalashnikov gang! 💪
Great job showing us the movie guns!👍🏾😀❤️🇺🇸
Hahaha. His perma-grin when talking about the Glock.
Great content guys.
Ha! He said law enforcement is highly trained. I'd bet my wife has had more training then most cops.
I watched a guy's video a couple months ago, where he was trying to kill a HiPoint JHP, he wound up firing a round directly into the ejection port at close range, blew the port wide open. Then went on to fire the gun. That thing is the Toyota Hilux (a callout to Top Gear) of handguns.
