    It is completely legal for most US citizens to design and manufacture their own weapon. However, if you are not properly licensed, and maybe even a military contractor, you cannot make something that violates federal law. For example you cannot manufacture an automatic weapon. But, I believe Herrera is licensed to do these things and might even be licensed to sell his weapons like an FFL. Obviously im sure this depends on the state you live in, and you can even go to school to learn about gun manufacturing if it is something someone is interested in and wants to make weapons for a living.

    OK Luke, I'mma give you a breakdown on the GunTubers. From a UK guys perspective.
    Matt Carriker (AKA Demo Ranch): Does fun video's on gun content. He's like the American FPS Russia. Also has a second channel called off ther ranch. Its chill as fuck but still fun.
    Brandon Hererra (AKA The AK Guy): He reviews weapons across the ages. Never served, but is a total gun nerd and hilarious human being. Currently trying to be a pro 2nd amendment senator. He geeks out on gun engineering and has his own weapons company. Seriously cool guy.
    Garand Thumb: also does reviews on weapons like Brandon, but more relevant in recent history. Very comprehensive.
    Kentucky Ballistics: Scott loves guns with big recoil, and has some insane historical pieces. Almost died from an exploding 50BMG. Hates Eggplants and watermelons. Really fun and has slightly n silly Mighty Boosh style content.
    Taoflodermaus: Ever wondered what you could fire out of a shotgun? These boys have you covered. Taking random machinists submisions, sticking it in a 12 gauge and seeing how it performs. If Officer Greg is on the show, you know it's gonna be a good time!

    Ronnie Barrett (the original Barrett 50 cal designer) made the rifle for non-military use. But the military adopted it as an anti-material rifle, many people mistake it for a sniper rifle because it can and is used for long range. But as an anti-material rifle, it's intended to defeat some light armor, and also for disabling enemy equipment and vehicles. Such as destroying car engine blocks, destroying plane engines, shooting helicopters, destroying radar dishes, and many other such use cases. It's not meant to be a precision rifle, but people have used it as such.

    @wittsullivan8130 4 месяца назад

    The Barrett M-82 is long recoil operated, just like the Browning .30 and .50 caliber machineguns and the Browning Auto-5 shotgun. When you fire a long recoil gun, the bolt and barrel are locked together and they both go back together a certain distance, then the barrel is released and goes forward while the bolt continues to go rearward. The casing is ejected, the bolt resets the hammer, the action spring pushes the bolt forward, the bolt picks up a fresh round and chambers it. The hammer is held by a disconnector until the bolt is in place, then the hammer is held in place by the trigger sear. Full auto guns release the hammer when the disconnector is released when the bolt locks closed to keep the round from going off prematurely, when the action is open, which could destroy the gun and injure the shooter. The trigger sear catches the hammer when the trigger is released by the shooter in a full auto gun. Because the barrel moves, accuracy suffers a bit, but a trained shooter is still able to make head shots with the Barrett M-82 up to a mile away on paper targets or steel silhouettes.
    The AK, which was copied or "inspired" by the US M-1 Garand, is a long piston gas operated gun. The piston is attached to a long operating rod attached to the bolt. When you fire an AK, M-1 Garand, M-14, or any number of other long piston guns, the bullet passes by a hole drilled into the barrel called a gas port. Some of the gases from the barrel are bled into a gas tube. The piston (shaped just like a car engine's piston) captures the gases, which push the piston and attached operating rod (aka op-rod). The operating rod is attached to the bolt, which also gets pushed back. The bolt extracts the casing and ejects it and the hammer is reset and held by a disconnector. The operating spring pushes the bolt back, a fresh cartridge is chambered. When the bolt closes the disconnector releases the hammer, which is held by the trigger sear in a semi-automatic gun. In a full auto gun, the disconnector releases the hammer when the bolt closes, firing another round automatically. The Ak has a skinny barrel compared to the M-1 Garand or M-14 or the AK-50. The action often makes the barrel wobble, causing the AK to be significantly less accurate than other rifles at long range, but the Soviets designed it as a submachinegun instead of a rifle at first. Accuracy through volume. :)
    The L85 and H&K's M416 uses versions of short piston gas operation, while the AR-15/M-16/M-4 uses a totally different system called gas impingement which uses gases to blow directly on the bolt and bolt carrier, increasing the accuracy because there's nothing shifting around the barrel to cause instability.

    Demolition Ranch is actually quite safe, and he and his friend group take safety extremely seriously, especially after the Kentucky Ballistics accident. The video with the cut down rifle was from one where they started off with a normal sized one then experimentally cut it down in increments to see how that affected the ballistics. Also the pistol is not made by Brandon but rather owned by him and the barrel cover on the front of the AK-50 is made of aluminum ,and meant as a m-lock attachment point for the bipod and other accessories.

    The only problem with the new Olight sight is if the battery is replaceable when it eventually goes bad, like rechargeable batteries usually do after months or years. I guess you could mail it back to them under warranty, but how long will Olight last as a company? :)

    This is from a movie.
    Yes he usually starts his videos with something funny.
    He's got a great sense of humor. I think the movie is the good the bad and the ugly. You will be amazed at the stuff they shoot at. And the Guns, ooops weapons, including cannon, and tank they shoot, and the humor, challenges, and other people he has on his video's. He's a veterinarian also. It's a great channel. 😂 His name is Matt, and Demolition Ranch. Always Fun.

    Rule of thumb when putting together any firearm; with a chunky enough muzzle device, even monster rifles can be tamed.

  • @wittsullivan8130
    @wittsullivan8130 4 месяца назад

    .50 BMG rifles tend to have bigass muzzle brakes which direct the gases to the sides or rear, which negated recoil, plus they usually weight a lot, which also absorbs recoil. The .50 pistol has a shorter barrel than a .50 usually has, so not as much powder was burned, so not as much gas was produced to push back. The Barrett's long recoil action absorbs recoil from the barrel coming back and then being pushed forward. Gas operated guns also reduce the recoil by bleeding off excess gas for the action.

    Long range hunting. Sniping. Big game hunting.... all very useful. As for the pistol, the length and weight of the barrel will reduce the recoil more than you think.

    On Matt's ranch he built a HUGE rifle/pistol range. A number of "GunTubers" are invited for semi annual "Range Days"- where they invite celebrities, UFC Champions, WWE Superstars, and RUclipsrs to go shooting- They provide all the guns and ammo. The last one featured NUMEROUS mini-guns that everyone got to shoot.

    When it comes to manufacturing your own guns, some states have different rules then others, but in general As Long as You Follow the proper guidelines and rules, you are good to go, for example a rifle must have a 16 inch barrel or longer or it's an SBR and needs paperwork, if the barrel is under 16 inches and does not have a stock it is a pistol, there's other rules and whatnot that are a little silly but that's the basics.

    The muzzle break vents the blast backwards giving it forward propulsion wich counters the kick, i think its the same muzzle break on the ak 50

    Seeing your concern for 3d printing. If im not mistaken its some sort of carbon fibre 3d printing. With the right settings you can make it extremely strong.

    That's because the Barrett 50 Cal rifle was originally designed and intended for materials. And penetration, not as a sniper rifle, its original use was for small unarmored. Vehicles such as to take out the motor or the necessity to punch through a wall in order to meet your target. The fact was turned into a sniper. Rifle is nonetheless very cool. And you may say that it is unnecessary, but when a target doesn't just drop but disintegrates. You can't argue. The cool factor is unbeatable, not to mention. When your target is standing behind a wall, small caliber is rendered obsolete. Yet the barret, fifty cal sniper rifle Is more than capable of punching through a wall And still being 100% effective, in fact, there is a case of a Canadian sniper that was Witnessed using a Barret 50 kale sniper rifle to punch through an enemy stronghold wall.
    Which resulted in the elimination of 2 standing targets with a single shot.
    Both confirmed kills of high priority targets. The same shot has been done by American. Snipers.
    A necessity for such a weapon may not always be prevalent, but it is very much. A useful tool in a military Arsenal. When you want to reach out and touch someone. And there's a wall in your way. A lightly plated vehicle door or an engine block the Barret 50 cal Sniper rifle Will get the job done And will leave no Question as to whether or not your target has been eliminated More often due to the splatter. Or.
    Chunky mass left on the wall. Not you mention the facial expressions of those standing in the vicinity Which is usually one of complete and utter. Terror horror or disbelief As to what just occurred😂
    And on a side note, A sniper from the vietnam war was credited with using a ma duce 50 as a Sniper rifle, I've included a link. It's a pretty cool story

    Matt (Demolition Ranch) opened his video with an homage to "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly." It is the quintessential "spaghetti western" directed by Sergio Leone, starring Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef, with music by Ennio Morricone.
    This is the most extensive intro scene I've seen for a video on Demolition Ranch.
    P.S. Matt is not reckless with safety when trying out oddball things. After Scott from Kentucky Ballistics had a terrible accident involving a .50 BMG rifle a couple of years ago, Scott, Matt, and Brandon have improved safety measures just in case. In the video you were freaking out about, Matt was testing the effects of barrel length on muzzle velocity. Note that he is behind a solid wall with a bullet resistant window in it. If there was a catastrophic failure, Matt and crew would be fine.
    Matt's ranch appears to be significant in size, so I doubt the noise from his shooting affects his neighbors much.

    @joebi-wan-kenobi5069 4 месяца назад

    The only reason that 50 BMG pistol doesn't have a ton of recoil is BECAUSE of the blast. That is a very efficient brake for one, and the fact that its on a very short barrel 50 BMG means that it's being fed an absurd amount of very high pressure gas at the muzzle. All that blast directed to the sides and rear mitigates recoil just like any other muzzle break, but this one, given the circumstances it's being used in, is much better at it lol.
