This video delves into the development of the Heckler & Koch Mk 23 SOCOM pistol, a firearm conceived in the 1990s for U.S. Special Operations Command and the U.S. Navy. The program aimed for an "offensive handgun" capable of serving as primary armament, with stringent requirements for size, suppressor/module compatibility, magazine capacity, and extreme endurance testing (30,000 rounds). The description highlights that only H&K and Colt initially submitted pistols, with Colt failing early. H&K's USP-based design ultimately won, leading to its adoption as the Mk 23 in 1996. The video emphasizes the remarkable testing regimen the pistol underwent.
This video is Part 4 of a four-part series, featuring Nutnfancy's table-top review of the FN Five-Seven pistol. The review highlights its innovative design, comparing it favorably against the Glock 17 in terms of weight, firepower, trigger, sights, ruggedness, simplicity, reliability, accuracy, ergonomics, and build quality. The 5.7x28mm proprietary round is discussed, noting its advantages like laser-like trajectories, Kevlar penetration, high velocity, low recoil, and higher magazine capacity, but also its drawbacks such as ammo scarcity, high cost, and limited reloading potential. The reviewer considers the Five-Seven a potential hit for special purposes and all-around defensive/offensive use, but emphasizes that its long-term success hinges on wider adoption by law enforcement, military, and other manufacturers chambering the 5.7x28mm round, likening its potential to the proven Glock. The review concludes with a 7 out of 10 'Likeability Scale' rating.
This is Part 2 of a 4-part table-top review of the FN Five-Seven pistol by Nutnfancy. The video highlights the pistol's innovative design, comparing it favorably to the Glock 17 in terms of weight, firepower, trigger, sights, ruggedness, reliability, accuracy, and ergonomics. It details the advantages of the proprietary 5.7x28mm round, including its flat trajectory, Kevlar penetration, high velocity, low recoil, and high magazine capacity. Downsides such as ammo availability, cost, reloading difficulty, and limited accessory support are also discussed. The reviewer acknowledges the round's potential as a 'decent manstopper' but notes the pistol's high cost and wide grip. The video concludes that while the design is largely a hit, its long-term success, like the Glock's, depends on wider adoption by law enforcement and military, and increased popularity of the 5.7x28mm round with other manufacturers. The reviewer gives it a Likeability Scale rating of 7 out of 10.
