The Browning M1919 from World War II

The Browning M1919 is a recoil-operated, air-cooled medium machine gun chambered in .30-06, used by U.S. forces throughout World War II and for decades afterwards. It is a famous piece of American firearms history.

Key features

• Recoil-operated: the action uses recoil energy to cycle.
• Air-cooled: there is no water jacket, which kept the gun simpler and lighter in the field.
• .30-06 chambering: the same cartridge as the M1 Garand.
• Long service life: used for decades after WWII.

Legal note

Machine guns are regulated under the National Firearms Act, and state laws vary. Always follow federal and state rules.

Gear

Beretta BRX1 Straight-Pull Rifle: Game Changer or Gimmick?

The Beretta BRX1 is one of the most unusual bolt-action rifles out there. Instead of rotating a bolt handle, you slide it straight back and forward, and the bolt locks and unlocks itself, which allows for fast and smooth cycling. In this video I put the BRX1 through real-world testing to find out if the straight-pull design is a game changer or a gimmick. Watch above to see what I found.

Guardsman rifle with an ATN X-Sight 5

We test the Guardsman rifle paired with the ATN X-Sight 5 day/night scope. The video shows clarity, smooth tracking and solid accuracy from daylight to complete darkness.

What a day/night scope offers

• One optic for day and night: a digital scope works in daylight and in the dark.
• Smooth tracking: helpful on moving targets or when scanning.
• Know your local rules: check hunting and night-shooting laws in your state before using it in the field.

Skipping a bullet across three steel plates

In this trick shot, a Weatherby bolt-action rifle skips a bullet across three steel plates. It is a demonstration, not something to copy casually. Always use safe distances, proper backstops and eye and ear protection when shooting steel.

Why steel needs respect

• Unpredictable paths: ricochets and fragments can travel in directions you do not expect.
• Distance: stay at or beyond the target maker’s recommended distance. See Infinity Targets.
• Protect yourself: wear eye and ear protection, such as ShellShock electronic hearing protection.

Gear

What to look for in an accuracy test

• Consistent groups: look for repeatable results, not one lucky group.
