This video showcases an annual machine gun test fire event featuring 66 different machine guns, plus four additional items. The demonstration includes various historical and modern firearms, some with notable hiccups due to heavy use in classes. The event is hosted by Washington County Machine Guns, a rental business near Pittsburgh, PA, catering to international customers from April to November. The video also touches upon the legal definition of a machine gun in the USA.
This video features a range test of the Ruger AC-556 select-fire rifle, comparing its full-auto performance to the M16. The reviewer finds that the AC-556, despite being similar in weight and caliber to the M16, exhibits significantly more jump and recoil in full auto. Slow-motion footage reveals that the bolt is slamming heavily into the rear of the receiver with each shot, explaining the harsher shooting experience. The video also promotes the "Forgotten Weapons" Patreon, Floatplane channel, and merchandise.
This video dives into Ruger's select-fire AC-556 rifle, a civilian-market derivative of their Mini-14. Introduced in 1979 as a select-fire option for military and police, it featured a selector for semi-auto, 3-round burst, and full-auto. The description highlights its unique burst mechanism and appearance, noting its adoption by French security services as the Mousqueton AMD. While not sold directly to civilians, guns produced between 1979 and 1986 are transferable, and many have entered the commercial market after leaving police inventories. Ruger ceased sales in 1999 and factory repair in 2009.
