This video features Caleb from Brownells demonstrating a build of an M27/M38 clone rifle utilizing the BRN-4 upper receiver. The M27, a variant of the HK416, is presented as a squad support weapon, while the M38 is its designated marksman rifle counterpart. The build highlights specific components like an M27-profile barrel, an 11-inch quad rail, and a Leupold Mark 4 optic mounted on an ADM mount. The video guides viewers through the assembly process, including barrel installation, gas block and bayonet lug attachment, handguard selection and installation, and finally, mounting the optic. The build is then prepped for range testing.
This video features firearms expert Jonathan Ferguson discussing a Colt AR-15 variant that was tested by the British Army. The focus is on whether Britain should have adopted this rifle as a light machine gun (LMG) to replace existing squad support weapons. Ferguson delves into the technical differences of this specific AR-15, its historical context, intended purpose, and ultimately, why it wasn't adopted in significant numbers. The Royal Armouries museum is highlighted, encouraging viewers to support their work and explore their collection.
This video explores the rare CZ-2000 light support weapon, a component of a planned Czech infantry arms suite derived from the Lada project. The system, which also included a compact SMG and a standard rifle, never entered production, making surviving examples like this historical artifact from CZ's archives exceptionally scarce. The video focuses on the LMG variant, distinguished by its longer barrel and bipod, and provides context on its development as a squad support weapon. It highlights the rarity of the CZ-2000 and its historical significance within Czechoslovakian and Czech small arms development.
This video analyzes the Chinese Type 56 RPD, focusing on its design principles and Soviet adoption rather than Chinese use. It delves into the RPD's role as a squad support weapon, its adoption alongside the SKS and AK due to the effectiveness of the 7.62x39mm cartridge for infantry roles. The analysis highlights the RPD's gas-operated, flapper-locked mechanism, its belt-fed system with a 100-round drum carrier, and the rationale behind its fixed barrel design for controlled bursts. The video also touches upon its replacement by the RPK as a more logistically sound option.
This video reviews the Tabuk Sniper rifle, a unique firearm developed during the Iran-Iraq War.
