Videos tagged with Star Megastar

This video details the Star Megastar, a Spanish 10mm and .45 ACP semi-automatic pistol developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Designed to capitalize on the 10mm trend and attract IPSC competitors, it was built from scratch for durability and power. Despite its robust design and modular fire control system, the Megastar failed to sell well due to the waning popularity of the 10mm cartridge and the impact of the 1994 US Assault Weapons Ban, which limited magazine capacity. Production ceased in 1995 with a relatively low total output.

James Reeves from TFBTV ranks the autoloading handguns featured in Michael Mann's iconic crime film "HEAT" in a tier list format. The video covers a variety of pistols including the Heckler & Koch USP, Sig Sauer P220, Colt 1911 Officer's Model, Star Megastar, Beretta 84 Cheetah, Beretta 92, Ruger P-Series, and a lone Glock pistol. Reeves discusses each firearm within the context of the 1990s, even offering an "apology" regarding .45 ACP vs. 9mm in that era. The video also briefly touches on the Steyr TMP/B&T MP9.
